ACTV, Venice's public-transit agency, has published a number of useful documents that you can view on your computer, tablet, or smartphone or print before leaving for Venice.

To save you the hassle of trying to find the maps and timebables on ACTV's confusing Web site, we've provided links to the relevant pages below.

ACTV Waterbus or Vaporetto Maps

This English-language page has green buttons for:

• A downloadable PDF map of "waterborne" or waterbus lines.

• An interactive line map. (Click on a line number, and the route will appear on the stylized map of Venice and its islands.)

• A map of bus services in Mestre and Marghera, on the Italian mainland. (These areas have many inexpensive hotels and hotels with parking.)

The page also has:

• Links to PDF maps of large waterbus stops such as Piazzale Roma, the railroad station, Rialto, the Piazza San Marco area, and the Lido. (These stops have multiple platforms, so the maps make it easier to find the right pier for a given waterbus line.)

For even more resources (including a map of bus lines on the Lido), see the ACTV's more comprehensive Italian-language page.
