How to Get from Venice Airport to the City Centre

Marco Polo Airport (VCE) is located about 14 km from Venice, and there are several ways to get to the city: by water or by land. As Venice is a city of canals, water transport is one of the most popular options. 

Speedboat

The Alilaguna boat, a water taxi from Venice airport, departs from the marina near the airport. Two lines connect the airport and Venice: the blue and the pink. The blue line operates all year round and the pink line from April to October. The trip takes 1 hour and 15 minutes and costs 8 euros. Tickets can be bought at the Alilaguna ticket office at the airport, at the pier or online.

Buss

If water transport is not for you or you want to get to Venice faster, there are options by land. One of these is the ATVO Express Shuttle bus, which runs non-stop from the airport to Piazzale Roma, a transport hub from where you can transfer to a vaporetto or walk. Tickets cost 11 euros each way, and the journey takes about 20 minutes, with buses departing every 20 minutes. You can also use FlixBus and Itabus buses. They follow the same route, but the journey takes a little longer—about 20-26 minutes. The ticket is cheaper, costing 4-6 euros. FlixBus departs every 4 hours. Itabus has 3 departures a day.

Taxi

If you need speed, are travelling with a lot of luggage or prefer comfort, you can take a car taxi to the centre of Venice. However, you will have to pay considerably more than for public transport.

Biluthyrning

Most of the major European car hire companies are represented at this Airport. It is better to book a car in advance. Booking a car on the spot can be much more expensive due to the pricing policies of the car rental companies themselves. Many of them have more loyal online prices to avoid having to compete directly on site. 

En annan fråga är dolda avgifter. Biluthyrningsföretag inkluderar inte alltid alla villkor i sitt reklammaterial, så prisökningen sker ofta efter att det faktiska kontraktet har undertecknats. Detta kan inkludera försäkring, tunga påföljder etc.

Att hyra via en specialiserad webbplats eliminerar de flesta av dessa risker. Systemet, vars databas är kopplad till de största biluthyrningsföretagen, hittar de mest lönsamma erbjudandena på några sekunder och rangordnar dem efter pris. Dessutom samlar onlinetjänsten alla priser i en gemensam vy, vilket undviker eventuella överbetalningar. I de allra flesta situationer kommer denna metod att bidra till att avsevärt minska kostnaderna. 

Turisternas rekommendation: hyra en bil med GetRentaCar.com. Many tourists visiting Venice have shared positive experiences with GetRentaCar.com, highlighting it as one of the most reliable and hassle-free car rental services in the city.

Privat transfer

Det mest bekväma och pålitliga sättet att ta sig från flygplatsen till stadens centrum eller till ditt hotell är förmodligen att boka en transfer i förväg. Detta kan göras genom GetTransfer.com.

GetTransfer.com erbjuder en bekväm fastpristjänst. Det finns ingen anledning att växla pengar på flygplatsen, föraren möter dig och hjälper dig med ditt bagage. Till skillnad från kollektivtrafiken tar en skytteltrafik dig direkt till ditt hotell. Om du reser med små barn, vänligen ange i förväg på bokningsformuläret att en barnstol krävs. 

Slutsats

The choice of transport depends on your preferences. If economy is important, choose a bus. Think about water transport in case you want to enjoy the views of Venice. If comfort and speed are key, rent a car or take a private transfer.
