It is an integrated bus\/ferry\/boat connection: from Chioggia via the island of <strong>Pellestrina<\/strong> to <strong>Lido S. Maria Elisabetta<\/strong>. The journey to the Lido usually takes about 70 minutes. From Lido S.M.E. you continue on a regular ACTV waterbus line towards San Zaccaria, San Marco or other stops in Venice \u2014 in total usually around 85\u2013100 minutes to San Marco, depending on the connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Journey time to the Lido:<\/strong> usually around 70 min, then onwards by vaporetto<\/li><li><strong>Frequency, first and last sailings:<\/strong> year-round, but check weekend\/holiday schedules and seasonal extra sailings with ACTV\/AVM before your travel day<\/li><li><strong>Ticket:<\/strong> For visitors, the ACTV 24-hour pass (guide value \u20ac25) is usually the simplest solution \u2014 it covers line 11 and the connecting vaporetti.

It feels much more like the lagoon&#8217;s everyday town: fishing, the market, residential quarters and local gastronomy shape the picture far more than in Venice&#8217;s touristy core. If you have booked an Adriatic package in Sottomarina or a hotel in the old town, the town combines well with a Venice day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Corso del Popolo<\/strong> \u2014 a broad pedestrian street in the middle of the old town with restaurants, caf\u00e9s and a weekly market.<\/li><li><strong>Chioggia fish market<\/strong> \u2014 one of the most important fish markets of the northern Adriatic, especially worth seeing in the morning.<\/li><li><strong>Ponte Vigo<\/strong> \u2014 a historic marble bridge, the town&#8217;s landmark.<\/li><li><strong>Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta<\/strong> \u2014 the town&#8217;s cathedral.<\/li><li><strong>Sottomarina<\/strong> \u2014 Chioggia&#8217;s beach suburb with a wide sandy beach; check current water quality and award information each year.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pellestrina as a stopover<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-11\/\">line 11<\/a>, you can plan a stopover on the island of <strong>Pellestrina<\/strong> \u2014 the narrow lagoon island with colourful fishermen&#8217;s houses is quieter than Murano or Burano. Its historic Murazzi walls protect the lagoon from the Adriatic. In high summer it can get busy here too, especially at beaches and restaurants. Check well-known addresses such as Da Celeste or Da Memo in advance for opening hours, closing days and current quality; keep an eye on return and connection times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arriving in Venice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Piazzale Roma<\/strong> (bus, car) \u2014 at the entrance to the old town, with direct connections to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-1\/\">line 1<\/a> (Grand Canal) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treffpunkt-venedig.de\/en\/vaporetto-venice\/line-2\/\">line 2<\/a> (express towards San Marco).<\/li><li><strong>Lido S.

St Mark&#8217;s Basilica, the Pala d&#8217;Oro, the cathedral museum\/loggia, the Campanile and the Doge&#8217;s Palace each have their own ticket and time-slot systems; check current prices and reservation rules officially.
