Landing at Marco Polo Airport and wondering how to reach Venice? Here's a breakdown of the main options — from most scenic to most convenient — so you can choose what suits your time, budget, and style (especially with gear in tow!).

🚤 Shared Water Taxi

• 💶 Price: €35–40 per person

• 🕒 Travel Time: 60–70 min

• ✅ Best for: First-timers who want a scenic, unforgettable arrival

• 📷 Tip: Great photo ops on approach, especially if arriving around golden hour

• 🚩 Drop-off: Closest point to your hotel or stop

🚤 Private Water Taxi

• 💶 Price: €120–140 total (up to 4–6 people)

• 🕒 Travel Time: 25–30 min

• ✅ Best for: Small groups, comfort, romance, or arriving with photo gear

• 👑 Bonus: The James Bond way to arrive

🚌 + 🚶 Bus to Piazzale Roma (ATVO or ACTV Line 5)

• 💶 Price: €10

• 🕒 Travel Time: 20–25 min

• ✅ Best for: Budget-conscious travelers staying near Piazzale Roma or Santa Croce

• ⚠️ Note: You’ll need to walk or take a vaporetto from there

🚖 Land Taxi to Piazzale Roma

• 💶 Price: €40–50

• 🕒 Travel Time: 20–25 min

• ✅ Best for: Late arrivals or those with heavy luggage

• 🛑 Stops at: Piazzale Roma (no cars beyond this point)

🛥️ Alilaguna Boat (Public Water Bus)

• 💶 Price: €15

• 🕒 Travel Time: 60–75 min

• ✅ Best for: Solo travelers, slower-paced arrival, or those staying along the stops (e.g., Zattere, Rialto, San Marco)

• ⛔ Con: Slower and sometimes crowded

📷 REXBY Tip:

If you’re carrying photography equipment, avoid peak-hour Alilaguna boats, and consider a private water taxi if arriving for a special shoot. A golden hour arrival into San Marco by boat? Unbeatable.
