Our friends who visited Venice 2 years ago recommended us to use the transport from the port of Punta Subbiony. Parking at the port was without problems. We bought tickets for 1 day, for the Vaporetto ACTV Water Bus. It was a great choice. Discovering the beauty of Venice was much more interesting. When we were tired of walking, we went on a boat and sailed along the Main Canal. We also visited Murano island. I think the price of €25 per person for 1 day is excellent. Next time, however, we will definitely stay here for at least 2 nights. In other words, you can only taste Venice in 1 day.

I had a very pleasant experience with the vaporetto in Venice. It is the most practical and authentic way to get around the city, and the views from the Grand Canal are simply spectacular. I appreciated the punctuality, the frequency of the rides, and the fact that it is easy to understand even for tourists. It was also a special feeling to ride alongside the locals, feeling the real pulse of the city. I recommend anyone visiting Venice to try the vaporetto at least once – it is not just transportation, but part of the Venetian charm.

The experience started on a great note by being able to skip the long line and just go in and start going through the different rooms in the Palace. The explanations of the use of each rooms and of the art in them was also very helpful. Even though it was in July, it was not too crowded. I also enjoyed the views to the city from opened windows and the view from the Bridge of sighs was a highlight. Highly recommended visit when in Venice.

    The booking was uncomplicated. The journeys all ran smoothly. The fact that you have to print out the tickets at the machine afterwards was not worth the five euro fee for the online booking. We could have gone straight to the ticket machine.

    The entrance was very fast, we did not queue just one to pass the security check, the visit was great, it included all the palace including the bridge of sighs.

    You can just get in and "ship" off without thinking twice. Unfortunately, the vaporettos were on strike when we arrived, so we had to walk everything with our suitcases 😬.
