前往指南

The vaporetto is Venice’s floating bus system — essential, scenic, and often packed. But with a few local tricks, you can ride smarter and enjoy the view.

🪙 Get a pass: If you're staying more than a day or plan to hop islands, the ACTV pass (12, 24, 48, or 72 hours) saves money and stress.

📍 Best lines for sightseeing:

  • Line 1 – Slow but perfect for a Grand Canal cruise. Sit at the front for amazing photos.

  • Line 2 – Quicker, great for getting to San Marco or back to the station fast.

  • Line 4.1/4.2 & 5.1/5.2 – Circle lines great for islands and less crowded rides.

📸 Pro Tips:

  • Travel early morning or after 8:00 PM for space and light.

  • Validate your ticket at the dock before boarding (white ACTV machines).

  • Avoid rush hour (7:30–9:00 AM and 5:00–6:30 PM) unless you love chaos.

🌊 Bonus: The N line runs all night — magical for photographers or late-night wanderers.
