Notices:
• Due to Venice transportation regulations, all motorized traffic (Bus, Taxi, Private Car Transfer) must stop at the Piazzale Roma terminal. From here you can then take the public water bus „Vaporetto” or enjoy the scenic walk to your hotel.
• The cheapest ticket with the Water Bus “Vaporetto” costs about 14 € (75-minute-ticket)
• There may be waiting times at the taxi rank if there are high volume of passengers. In this case, a pre-booked transfer (e.g. via Welcome Pickups) is the more faster and comfortable option.
• The optimal transfer depends on the number of travelers, budget and available time.
