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.

These queue-skipping tickets were very useful; we only waited a few minutes to enter the Basilica, whereas with normal entry it would have taken a couple of hours. Also nice was the visit to the Ducal Palace where we were able to cross the Bridge of Sighs and visit the prisons. Highly recommended

Skip the line was good (but not necessary on a Saturday in July). We did not have time to get our moneys worth out of the day boat pass. It would have been cheaper and easier to purchase single boat rides from the automated kiosks. But still beautiful!

    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 😬.
