Handles crowds and rush times expertly for locals and travelers alike. The one week pass was well worth the expense. We went everywhere with our pass: Close to anywhere in Venice and convenient to Murano, Burano, Lido. Thanks, ACTV, for a wonderful week in Venice. More

I was only in Venice for 2-3 days and wanted to see the Grand Canal in the most affordable way. I took Vaporetto #1 from Venezia S.L. train station to Piazza San Marco one evening, and it was one of the highlights of my trip. If you can, wait for a vaporetto with seating at the front.

Sadly at one stage a handbag was left on the boat, we retraced our steps and ended... More

We arrived on a cruise ship at Marittima. We had pre booked travel cards and toilet tickets through www.veniceconnected.com . This was not worth doing. The ticket office where the ship docked would not take the internet vouchers so we had to get the people mover, (a monorail which has lift access to the platforms costs €1.00 each way, correct...
