Water taxi between Venice airport and the city

Since you are travelling to**the 'city of canals'**par excellence, you may want or even prefer to travel from the airport to Venice and vice versa by water on board one of the water taxis from Venice Airport to the city centre, the fastest way to get around. You will arrive at your destination between 20 and 45 minutes later, depending on the number of stops the taxi has to make, as it will drop off all passengers at the piers closest to their accommodation.
For all means of transport, but especially for this one, I recommend that you book your ticket in advance. Water taxis are a very popular means of transport in Venice and are in high demand by tourists. They have a capacity of 10 people per boat, with one medium-sized travel bag per passenger and a minimum of two people per boat. You can take your water taxi one way or return:
How this service works
To get from the airport to the city by water taxi, you must go to the airport pier, located 500 metres from the arrivals area. However, once you land and within a maximum of one hour of disembarking, you must go to the Albatravel 69 counter. There, the staff will give you all the information you need on how to get to the pier and will suggest the nearest stop to get off the boat and reach your accommodation.
Water taxi service from your hotel back to the airport
You can also use this water taxi service to travel from the centre of Venice to the airport to catch your flight. In this case, you will need to provide the address and name of your accommodation so that you can meet the driver at a stop near your hotel. To find out how to get to the stop, the company will fax a map to your hotel along with the exact departure time, which you must confirm with the company 24 to 48 hours before departure for the airport.
Shuttle bus between Venice Airport and the city centre

With this bus service, you will reach the city of Venice from the airport in just over an hour. It is the slowest service, but if you don't have any special needs or are not in a hurry, I recommend it as it is the cheapest option. This transfer is by shared air-conditioned bus and includes luggage transport (the sum of the length, width and height of your luggage must not exceed 150 cm). You can also book the bus journey in the opposite direction: from Venice to the airport.
Available bus lines
- Aerobus line 5 to and from Venice Piazzale Roma
- Bus line 15 from and to Mestre train station
- Bus line 45 to and from Favaro Veneto
How this service works
In addition, tickets for this transport are also valid for travel on all ACTV water services (except routes 16, 19, 21 and the Alilaguna or Casinò lines) for 75 minutes from the time of first activation, which is done on board the vehicles themselves.
Please note that once purchased, this ticket is non-refundable and children under 6 travel free. Vehicles are adapted for travel with assistance animals, baby strollers and wheelchair users, although the latter must pay an extra €1.50.
Book a bus transfer from Venice to the airport
Another transfer option from the airport: the Transport Card

A great way to explore Venice is with the city's transport card. With this single ticket, you can use both the vaporetto and public buses. But when you make your reservation, you can also choose just the bus to/from the airport. It couldn't be more convenient.
The card is valid for the number of days you are travelling in Venice, and you can book a 24-, 48- or 72-hour ticket, or you can also get one that expires 7 days after activation.
With unlimited use of the Venice vaporetto, you can comfortably explore the canals and see the most iconic monuments as you travel from one corner of the city to another.
Private transfer between the airport and the port of Venice
Private transfer between the airport and the port of Venice

You will most likely be travelling to Venice to board one of the many Mediterranean and Adriatic cruises that depart from its port, one of the most important in the world. The most convenient and fastest way to get directly to the port terminal upon your arrival in Venice is via this private minivan transfer between the airport and the port. You will arrive at the Venice maritime terminal, located between the island of Tronchetto and the San Basilio area, in about half an hour.
How this service works
Upon arrival, a private driver will be waiting for you in the arrivals area with a sign bearing your name. Please note that the driver will wait for you for a maximum of 1 hour after your plane lands, taking into account possible incidents or delays with your flight. The vehicle will drop you off at the port terminal from where your boat departs and allows a maximum of 20 kilograms of luggage per passenger (no extra luggage is accepted).
Private transfer between the airport and the port
For the return journey, once you disembark from your cruise and wish to go to the airport to catch your flight, this private transfer service from the port of Venice to the city airport works in the same way, as the driver will be waiting for you outside the terminal with a sign with your name on it.
