Getting There and Around
Arriving and messing about in boats
It's astonishing how tiny Venice looks, even in its own lagoon, if you arrive by air and are sitting on the right side of the plane.
GETTING THERE
By Air For transport to Venice from the airports, see Marco Polo Airport and Treviso Airport.
By Sea Smaller vessels and hydrofoils call at San Basilio on the west end of the Zattere. Cruise ships now call at the new terminal in Marghera, linked by train every 15 minutes; a taxi takes about 10 minutes to Piazzale Roma. Small ferries and ship (under 25,000 tonnes) may also call at the Stazione Marritima.
By rail The train will take you straight to Venice's doorstep, Stazione Santa Lucia.
