A single ride costs \u20ac9.50, a 24-hour pass \u20ac25 \u2014 if you plan more than two rides per day, the pass works out cheaper. This overview shows all lines, their routes, live timetable data and the tips that really help us on the ground.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without the vaporetto, Venice is a walking city \u2014 which works surprisingly well for the main island, but becomes difficult as soon as the lagoon islands, the Lido or the eastern sestieri (Castello, Sant&#8217;Elena) come into play. The vaporetti are not a tourist attraction but Venice&#8217;s public transport: 23 regular lines plus night lines, running year-round, with intervals of 10 to 30 minutes depending on route and time of day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We use them on every research trip and know the timetable quirks of the individual lines. Each line detail page shows the real stops with real journey times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which vaporetto line goes where?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of juggling route maps, here are the lines grouped by what visitors actually need \u2014 city centre, island trips, the Lido and night services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Main lines on the Grand Canal (relevant for most travellers)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tv-vline-wrap\"><table class=\"tv-vline-table\">\n<thead><tr><th>Line<\/th><th>Route<\/th><th>Time<\/th><th>Best for<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n  <td class=\"tv-vline-num\" data-label=\"Line\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-1\/\">1<\/a><\/td>\n  <td data-label=\"Route\">P.le Roma \u2192 Lido (along the entire Grand Canal)<\/td>\n  <td class=\"tv-vline-time\" data-label=\"Time\">approx. 60 min<\/td>\n  <td class=\"tv-vline-usage\" data-label=\"Best for\">First-time visitors, St Mark&#8217;s Square, Rialto, Accademia, Salute<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n  <td class=\"tv-vline-num\" data-label=\"Line\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-2\/\">2 \/ 2\/<\/a><\/td>\n  <td data-label=\"Route\">Express: P.le Roma \u2192 Rialto (fast station link) and St Mark&#8217;s loop<\/td>\n  <td class=\"tv-vline-time\" data-label=\"Time\">approx. 22 min<\/td>\n  <td class=\"tv-vline-usage\" data-label=\"Best for\">Fast route without all the stops<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n  <td class=\"tv-vline-num\" data-label=\"Line\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-3\/\">3<\/a><\/td>\n  <td data-label=\"Route\">Piazzale Roma shuttle<\/td>\n  <td class=\"tv-vline-time\" data-label=\"Time\">2\u20133 min<\/td>\n  <td class=\"tv-vline-usage\" data-label=\"Best for\">Changing piers at P.le Roma<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"tv-gyg-ticket\" style=\"background:#eef4f7;border:1px solid #cfe0e8;border-left:4px solid #c9941e;border-radius:10px;padding:18px 22px;margin:20px 0\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 6px;color:#1a4d6e;font-size:1.05em\"><strong>Tip: book your water-bus ticket before you travel \u2014 at the same price<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 14px;color:#333\">Securing the ACTV ticket in advance makes for a more relaxed trip: <strong>identical official price<\/strong>, booked at your leisure and with a guaranteed place.

Convenient if you are at the pier anyway; in high season, however, expect 15\u201330 minutes of queueing.

If you forget, you risk a \u20ac60 fine at inspections, which do take place regularly. If you booked online in advance, exchange the voucher for the real ticket at the ACTV machine before your first ride and then validate it as usual at the Imob reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Piers have letters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most larger stops have several piers, marked with letters (A, B, C, D, E, F). &#8220;<strong>San Marco-San Zaccaria<\/strong>&#8221; alone has six piers \u2014 each serving different lines in different directions. When boarding, check the letter on the pier and the line display on the vaporetto itself. If unsure, ask the crew \u2014 they are happy to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid peak times<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Line 1 is regularly <strong>overcrowded<\/strong> between 10:00 and 12:00 and between 16:00 and 19:00 \u2014 above all between Ferrovia and San Marco. Travelling early (before 9:00) or late (after 20:00) often even gets you a seat on the coveted open stern deck. During acqua alta, services can be suspended on some sections \u2014 check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/acqua-alta-venice\/\">live tide update<\/a> shortly before travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pushchairs, luggage, dogs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pushchairs are no problem (stern area with low railing). Luggage likewise \u2014 there is no surcharge as on some private boats. Dogs on a lead travel free of charge; larger dogs officially need a muzzle (hardly anyone checks, but it is the rule). Bicycles are only allowed on a few lines (notably <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-17\/\">line 17<\/a>, the car ferry).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Marco Polo Airport to the vaporetto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marco Polo Airport (VCE) has no direct vaporetto connection \u2014 the boats run on the water, the airport sits 1.5 km inland. The <strong>Alilaguna<\/strong> water boats (not ACTV) run from the airport directly to the main island. If you want to continue on ACTV vaporetti, take bus line 5 (ACTV or ATVO) to P.le Roma (approx. 25 min, \u20ac8) and join the vaporetto network there.
