S. Giorgio

From: Venice Waterbus Stops

San Giorgio is the waterbus stop for San Giorgio Maggiore, an island church and monastery facing St. Mark's Square. The church (designed by Andrea Palladio) is well worth a visit.

The San Giorgio vaporetto station is served by:

ACTV Lines 2, N public water buses

Note: This station does not have a ticket booth or vending machine, so here's what to do if you need to board a water bus without a valid ACTV ticket or Tourist Travel Card.
