Two Venice airports: Marco Polo & Treviso
If you are flying into Venice Italy, there are two different airports that can be used. However, for your travel time it makes a lot of difference which of the two you fly to. Treviso Airport is located about 40 kilometers from Venice and is mainly used by budget airlines such as Ryanair. The main airport Venice Marco Polo Airport is just over 10 kilometers from Venice and is used by the better airlines.

From Venice 'Marco Polo' airport you have four options to reach your hotel in the center of Venice. Please note that the entire city is car-free and you can only get near the Santa Lucia train station at Piazzale Roma by bus or car. From there you are dependent on transport by water buses or water taxis.
- Shared Water Taxi: This Venice airport transfer is the most fun option. From Venice Marco Polo Airport you can take a shared water taxi to your hotel. A water taxi takes an hour to get you to Venice, depending on whether your hotel is at the start or end of the route. Along the way you can enjoy the views of Venice from the water.

Airport Express Bus: If you want the cheapest option, travel with the ATVO bus or the ACTV bus.
