That you can see and photograph Venice from the water. Otherwise fast, good and clean. Seat optional but after 2 stops at the latest you have one.

Very easy to get to (just outside Treviso airport), every 10 minutes. Very clean bus and possibility of storing our luggage in a trunk. Very satisfied

Homo Faber on St. George Island, exceptional exhibition . Retrieval of tickets made on line with totems in the train station square was quite easy. A greeting

I had to pay a €59 fine because the ticket time was exceeded by a few minutes. However, this was due to the long queue in Punta Sabione. You had to validate the ticket before queuing. I thought the ticket was enough for a one-way trip to the station. I wasn't aware of the rules about when the time expired.

Positive points: Acceptance of dogs without constraints (must normally be muzzled but none were) Speed. Passage times. Negative points: Lack of seating, lack of stop signs.

Start your adventure with a ride on the ACTV Water Bus, the city’s lifeline on water. Cruise past landmarks like the Rialto Bridge or venture to the islands of Murano and Burano—your 75-minute ticket lets you explore at your own pace.

Step into Venice’s storied past

Skip the lines at the Doge’s Palace, the former seat of Venetian power. Wander through its opulent halls, cross the Bridge of Sighs, and see the eerie prison cells. Your ticket also grants entry to three must-visit museums on St. Mark’s Square—the Museo Correr, Archaeological Museum, and Biblioteca Marciana, each unraveling layers of Venice’s rich history.

More historic museums in the historic Square

Beyond St. Mark’s, explore the Querini Stampalia Foundation, a cultural gem filled with art and history. Your ticket also includes access to three stunning churches on the Chorus Circuit, showcasing Venetian architecture at its finest. Want even more? Opt for Teatro La Fenice entry and soak in the grandeur of one of the world’s most famous opera houses.

This ticket is your shortcut to Venice’s best—by land, by water, and through time.
