Venice Travel Forum

Is there any other (cheaper) way of going to Stazione Marittima from the Marco Polo Airport apart from taxi or taxi motorboat? Please also advise time needed and approximate fares.

Hi,
You can take the Alilaguna(Blu Line) from Marco Polo Airport via San Marco to Stazione Maritima. The cost is 12 Euros each and will take about 45 minutes.

Hi, The cheapest and one of the quickest ways into Venice is to catch the bus to Piazza Roma, from the airport.

Buy your ticket at the Tourist Info desk, and validate it at the machine near the bus stop - There are 2 services, both less than 30 mins journey to Venice- The TI will advice you which bus service is due to leave next. I bought a 72 hour ticket, as I was staying in Venice, but You'll probably just need a single ticket - 3 euros or less.The buses run every 30 mins (or so - depending on traffic)
When You arrive at P. Roma it's a 5-10 min walk to Stazione Marittima.
I'd advise, a quick detour in front of the bus station to view the Grand Canal, before setting off to Stazione Marittima.

Have A Great Trip!
