Taxi & Transfers from Venice Airport to Venice

How to Get from Venice Airport (VCE) to Venice

Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) is about 13 kilometers from Venice city center. Sounds close, but in Venice, even short trips are a little adventure. You can get there by bus, water bus, water taxi, or private transfer. Each way has its charm. Let’s keep it simple.

If you want to land and relax right away, booking a taxi or transfer service makes it way easier. Kiwitaxi can help you reach your hotel without dragging bags across bridges.

By Bus

ATVO and ACTV buses run from the airport to Piazzale Roma. The ride takes about 20–25 minutes. Tickets cost around €10. Buses leave often, every 15–30 minutes. Comfortable, easy, no surprises.

From Piazzale Roma, you’ll need to continue by foot or vaporetto (public boat) to reach your hotel.

By Water Bus

Alilaguna runs water buses from the airport to places like San Marco and Rialto. It's slower, around 40 minutes to over an hour, depending on the line. Tickets cost €10–€15.

It’s a beautiful way to arrive. Just remember — water buses can get crowded, and handling luggage on board isn’t always fun.

By Water Taxi

Private water taxis pick you up at the airport dock and take you straight to your hotel. No stops, no waiting. Rides usually cost between €105 and €135.

It’s fast, direct, and feels like a movie. Just be ready for a bit of a splashy ride if the water’s rough.

Private Transfer

Booking a private transfer is the smoothest choice. A driver meets you at arrivals, helps with your luggage, and takes you to Piazzale Roma or the water taxi dock.

With Kiwitaxi service, you can choose your car class: Economy, Comfort, Minivan, or Business. Fixed price, no hidden fees, easy from the start.

Vehicle Classes for Your Transfer

• Economy – for 1–2 passengers
• Comfort – for families and couples with luggage
• Minivan – for groups, extra luggage or strollers
• Business – for those who prefer more space and quiet

Traveling with Children

Venice with kids can be magical — or exhausting. After a flight, dealing with buses, boats, and suitcases is a lot.

With Kiwitaxi, you can pre-book a car with a child seat. It’s safer, calmer, and gives you one less thing to worry about when you land.

Traveling with Pets

Bringing a pet to Venice? Cute, but tricky. Public transport isn’t always pet-friendly, and rules can change from one line to another.

Kiwitaxi offers pet-friendly cars. Book in advance and relax — your furry buddy will have a safe ride too.

What to See in Venice

Venice doesn’t just welcome you — it pulls you into its story before you even notice.

Get lost in the tiny alleys, find a square with no tourists, hear the water lapping against old stones. One moment you’re following Google Maps, the next — you're standing in front of a hidden canal with a gondola sliding past. Stop for a spritz. Eat cicchetti at a tiny bar. Forget the map. Venice is better when you let it surprise you.

It's the kind of place where getting lost feels like the whole point.
