Starting at <strong>San Zaccaria<\/strong> near St Mark&#8217;s Square, it runs down the Giudecca Canal calling at <strong>San Giorgio Maggiore, Zitelle, Redentore and Giudecca Palanca<\/strong>, continues along <strong>Zattere and San Basilio<\/strong>, rounds <strong>Sacca Fisola and Tronchetto<\/strong>, then swings into <strong>Piazzale Roma<\/strong> and <strong>Ferrovia<\/strong> (the railway station). From there it runs along part of the <strong>Grand Canal<\/strong> via San Marcuola-Casin\u00f2 to the <strong>Rialto<\/strong> Bridge, then continues via San Tom\u00e0, San Samuele and Accademia back to San Marco Vallaresso and San Marco-San Zaccaria \u2014 closing the loop. In <strong>spring and summer<\/strong>, the line carries on from San Zaccaria to Giardini and the <strong>Lido (Lido S.M.E.)<\/strong>, so line 2 also works as a direct connection between St Mark&#8217;s Square and the Lido in the warmer months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Line 2\/<\/strong> (with the slash) is a different and much shorter service: a rush-hour booster that shuttles only between <strong>Piazzale Roma, Ferrovia and Rialto<\/strong>. It adds extra frequency on the busiest stretch of the Grand Canal at peak times \u2014 handy if you just need a quick hop from the station or the car park to the Rialto without waiting for the full circular line.<\/p>\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:22px 0\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 6px;color:#1a4d6e;font-size:1.05em\"><strong>Tip: book your water-bus ticket before you travel &mdash; 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.
