I loved how convenient and stress-free the 2-day Vaporetto ACTV pass made exploring Venice! Being able to hop on and off the water buses at any time allowed me to see so many beautiful areas, from the Grand Canal to the smaller islands, without worrying about buying separate tickets each time. One highlight was taking the boat out to Lido and spending time at the beach – such a relaxing change of pace from the busy canals. The views from the boat were incredible, the rides felt smooth, and it was also fun to be among both locals and travelers enjoying the city. This pass truly made the trip memorable and gave me the freedom to enjoy Venice at my own pace.

Unfortunately, we only had two days in Venice and booked the 48-hour tickets. Each member of our group was given their own ticket (you have to print them out at the machine on site) so that we could move around independently of each other. The water buses allowed us to get to know this unique city in a way that we would never have been able to do on foot in the short time we were there. We are absolutely thrilled and recommend using the vaporettos to anyone who is not just interested in the tourist hotspots and wants to gather as many authentic impressions as possible.

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.

Very easy to redeem at the machine and validate at the stands. With the ticket we were able to visit Lido and Murano on different days without stress. It was also nice to just drive around the island without having to pay extra for tour water buses.

the fact that you don't have to ask too many questions to optimize your trip is great, and even if you take the wrong vaporetto, you'll quickly find another one. It's not always easy to find the one you're looking for (Murano and Burano, for example), so not thinking you've paid for a trip for nothing is a big plus.

I loved being able to hop on a boat and go wherever I wanted without having to pay each time. It was very easy to tap on and you didn't have to tap off.
