Venice, Mestre and the islands of the lagoon

If you wish to purchase a ticket for the transfer trip from Marco Polo airport to Venice – or vice versa –  with the ACTV bus line, coming from and going to Venice Marco Polo airport, you will have to buy limited time tourist travel cards which also include the supplement fee for the connection to/from the airport. You can opt whether to combine the limited time tourist travel card with a single or a return journey to/from Marco Polo airport.

Please note that all Tourist Travel Cards purchased on line through venice>connected, after converting the PNR to ticket, start being valid from the moment of the first validation.

The card's validity starts from the exact moment – hour and minutes – it is validated and ceases at the duration expiry, after 12/24/36/48/72 hours or 7 days.

They must be passed by one           
of the iMob validating machines
located at the entrance to the ACTV vaporetto loading docks and aboard the urban buses at the beginning of each and every journey and change of vehicles.

All Tourist Travel Cards include the following ACTV services:

• waterborne services of Venice, the islands of Lido, Murano, Burano and Torcello and Punta Sabbioni (except for the following routes: Alilaguna, Clodia, Fusina, no. 25 and Casinò); water service no. 31 (Pellestrina-Chioggia) and the ferry service Tronchetto-Lido and return, for foot passengers only;

How to collect the Tourist Travel Cards

You can convert your voucher - by communicating the PNR - into valid Tourist Travel Cards at the desk of any of the //venice>connected points or you can use the ACTV ticket machines, active 24 hours a day. We recommend you use the ACTV ticket machines to pick up your Tourist Travel Cards: they are more common than the //venice>connected points, they are always operational and you save time. Make sure you collect all the tickets and the receipt.
Tickets can be picked up from the date chosen as first use day in the calendar and not later than 24 months from the date of purchase.
