There are no streets in Venice, which means that instead of regular road buses, the city has a network of water buses called vaporetti.
Twenty numbered, color-coded routes operated by ACTV connect Venice and the other islands. The stops are floating piers, some equipped with gates or turnstiles, situated mainly along the waterfront perimeter and Canal Grande.
Because ACTV provides each route's timetable separately (see for yourself), the best mobile app for up-to-date travel information between any two stops, based on ACTV open data, is Chebateo.
A single ticket costs €9.50 and allows up to 75 minutes of travel across the entire network from the time of validation.
A multi-day pass provides cost-effective, unlimited travel for one or more days.
Its validity begins from the moment of first use and lasts for the specified time interval. For example, if you start using a 1-day pass at 11:00, it will remain valid until 10:59 the following day.
Online purchased tickets need to be exchanged at a ticket machine for a physical ticket, which you will use from then onward.
The procedure is quite straightforward: you scan the received QR code at the machine and your ticket will be immediately issued.
The official Venezia Unica City Pass grants direct entry to to more than 30 top attractions, along with optional water bus transportation.
This value-packed city pass is ideal for multiple days of exploring Venice!
