The "Venice Italy Airport"
the main gate to Veneto
The Venice Italy Airport , named Marco Polo, even though is not that big, is the biggest and most important of Veneto.
Recently it has been renovated and enlarged.
The Marco Polo Venice Airport is connected to 63 different countries: a lot of european countries, including the Russian Federation, USA, North Africa and the Middle east.
How to get to Venice from the airport?
(and vice versa)
It’s very simple.
There are 2 regular bus services that will take you to Piazzale Roma, the gate to the historical Venice.
ATVO service:
I usually use this one, I find it more comfortable, the rides are faster, with the same timetable both for weekdays, weekends and public holidays.
The ride lasts 20 minutes. The buses are comfortable, with air conditioning and a big luggage van. The one-way ticket price is 3 €uros, baggage included.
You can easily buy the ticket:
1. through the automatic machines marked with the ATVO sign that are in the baggage claim
2. or just outside the airport exit door in the bus stop lane
3. or you can buy it on board.
ATVO timetable
Venice to airport and vice versa
valid until May 31, 2011
In case you want to go to Mestre, here below is the timetable.
Please note that unlike the Venice-Airport route, the bus schedule changes according to the days of the week
f=working days
F=Sunday and Public holidays
fF=every day
ATVO timetable
Mestre to airport and vice versa
valid until May 21, 2011
ACTV service:
It is a bit slower than ATVO, as it has several intermediate stops.
Take the bus number 5, or as an alternative, the 4, which has less more available routes though.
