Instructions on how to use the ACTV ticket

• If you purchase your ticket 2 or more days in advance, the PNR code will be sent to you at midnight of the day before the ticket becomes valid. For example, if the validity of your ticket starts on 10 June, you will find the voucher in the “ticket” section of the MyPass Venice App and in your inbox at midnight on 9 June. This method gives you the possibility to change or cancel your booking until midnight of the day before the initial ticket validity.
• When you arrive at the ACTV waterbus/ferry terminals, scan your QR code at the entry point to enter. If the ACTV QR scanner does not work, MyPass Venice allows you to go to the ticket machines located at all terminals and enter your PNR code. The ticket machine will issue paper tickets with which you can board.
• Tickets are valid from the date of purchase.

From St. Mark’s Square to Lido to Santa Lucia Train Station to Murano and all of the famous sights of Venice the ACTV Water Bus / Vaporetto can take you.

Generally the ACTV water bus / vaporetto service runs from 5 am until 11 pm with special night service at some locations and with changing schedules depending on the season, day of week, and holidays. Check with ACTV timetables to find exact schedule for your stop.

The terms water bus and vaporetto are often used interchangeably so you might see one or both of these terms in your trip research.
Avoid water bus / vaporetto Line 1 if possible. This makes every stop so it is slow and often completely filled with tourists and their luggage.
Water Busses (Vaporetti) are not to be confused with water taxis. Water Taxis are just like regular taxis in that they may get you to your destination faster but they are also more expensive. They are much smaller than the water busses / vaporetti and usually have a yellow stripe to be easily identified.
ACTV is the official public transportation authority in Venice.

In addition to the Water Bus / Vaporetto there are a few other public transportation services.

• People Mover – A driverless tram system that gets you to and from the Tronchetto Parking Island to the Marittima Cruise Terminal to Piazzale Roma. The People Mover is wheelchair accessible.
  Cost: 1.50 euro
• Bus Transfer to Marco Polo Airport – You can take the ACTV bus to and from Piazzale Roma and Marco Polo Airport. The journey takes about 20-25 minutes. TIP: choose a ticket that combines airport transfer with the a normal ACTV ticket like the “3 days + Airport Transfer Bus (A/R)” so you have all your transportation needs taken care of.
  Cost:
  One way bus ticket – 8€
  Round Trip (valid from Airport to Venice and back to airport when you return) – 15€

For combination tickets price varies depending on number of days chosen. See MyPass Venezia App for more information.
