Elisabetta, Burano, Punta Sabbioni, Marco Polo airport, municipal Carpark in Piazzale Roma, Ospedale dell'Angelo, and the authorized resellers. actv.it/en/movinginvenice/fa... As far as I know you will need another ticket for the Correr Museum: museiciviciveneziani.it/?lin...

    Before you buy the 7 day travel card, you might think if you will actually use this card to advantage. Venice is very walkable and is probably best seen from your feet. It can be walked from 'side to side' in about an hour. We were in Venice for over 5 weeks and only used a 24 hour pass once. One day, latish in the afternoon, we went down the Grand Canal (then back up), and the next day, still within the 24 hour period, we went to Murano and back. Everything else we did on our feet. Quite frankly, feet are usually quicker than the vaporetto and take you to where you want, with the aid of a good map, while the vaporetto stops may not be convenient for where you are ultimately heading. The bus fare from MP airport to Piazalle Roma is very inexpensive, about €2, if I remember correctly. Yes, you will need another ticket for the Correr Museum.

    Agree with Hawkhead. You may well find that you don't need a 7-day pass at all and will only use the vaporetti to get to the islands (if you go to them). Venice is very easy to explore on foot and I did not use any vaporetti during my visits (except one trip down the Grand Canal, my friend's decision). The ATVO airport bus is excellent. Timetables and info in English here: atvo.it/index.php?lang=en&ar... No need to buy tickets advance online unless you wish to do so. Airport>Piazzale Roma now costs 5 euro (I think).
