Transportation from the Venice Cruise Port

ABOVE: An overview of Venice and portions of the Venetian Lagoon. On the left is Mestre, on the mainland or terrafirma; the runways of Marco Polo Airport are at the top of the photo, about 6 km or 4 miles from the city center. The Lido di Venezia, which separates the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea, is on the right. (Cruise ships enter and leave the Lagoon through the opening above the Lido.)
