Marco Polo airport is located in Tessera, on the mainland. To reach Venice,
which is about 12 kilometres away, you can choose among several means, according
to the time you have available and your budget.:
Bus: there are two bus services to Piazzale Roma, the terminus for all
four-wheel vehicles: the ATVO one, faster (it takes about 25 minutes)
and leaving in connection with the arrival of many flights, and the ACTV
line 5, taking about 35-40 minutes.
If you arrive after midnight, you find traditional taxis reaching Piazzale
Roma in 20 minutes.
Water-taxi: are moored outside the arrival hall, in 20 minutes they
reach every corner of the city.
This service ends after the last landing.
Alilaguna: it's a public launch that reaches Saint Mark Square in 70
minutes, stopping at Murano and Lido.
Departures every hour from 4.45 a.m. to midnight.
Surely the most convenient way to reach Venice. Travelling by train, either
the whole way or simply the transfer Mestre-Venice, you have no problems,
just check that the train goes on to Santa Lucia station.
From the central station you can reach every destination by the many water-buses
stopping outside.
Arriving by car, you must park it at Piazzale Roma, where you find three
parking areas open all day long: the Autorimessa Comunale, the Garage San
Marco and the Sant'Andrea; moreover you have the Tronchetto, a wide car
park on an island very close to Piazzale Roma.
Another valid solution can be leaving your car on the mainland, in Mestre
or Marghera, and go on to Venice by bus or train across the Ponte della
Libertà.
It's possible to reach Venice by ship.
The present landing points are:
S. Basilio (at the end of Zattere)
