Wir hatten leider nur zwei Tage Aufenthalt in Venedig und haben dafür die 48 Stunden Tickets gebucht. Jeder aus unserer Gruppe bekam ein eigenes Ticket (muss man vor Ort am Automaten ausdrucken), so dass wir uns auch unabhängig voneinander bewegen konnten. Durch die Wasserbusse konnten wir diese einzigartige Stadt so kennenlernen, wie wir es zu Fuß niemals in der kurzen Zeit unseres Aufenthaltes hätten schaffen können. Wir sind absolut begeistert und empfehlen allen, die sich nicht nur für die Touri-Hotspots interessieren und möglichst viele authentische Eindrücke sammeln wollen, die Vaporettos für sich zu nutzen.

A city with no car noise, no bicycles, no scooters... where everything can be done on foot or by boat, what a delight! The audioguide is very well done and gives interesting information about Venice, which can be consulted long after your stay. Please note: it's important to download the official Vapporetto "CheBateo?" app to keep up to date with boat timetables and directions, but above all to be aware of any changes that may occur: cancellation of a line on a certain day in the event of an event, and above all any strikes that may have occurred on the last day!

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.

Hop on vaporetti, buses, trams, and even regional trains with one pass—explore Venice and beyond with zero hassle.

Includes a multilingual city audio guide that brings local legends, landmarks, and islands to life as you travel.

Island-hopping made easy. Glide to Murano, Burano, and more without buying individual tickets—perfect for spontaneous day trips.

Choose from 2, 3, or 7-day passes to match your pace—ideal whether you're city-hopping or slow-traveling.

From short transfers to lagoon ferries, this pass takes care of the logistics needs across the city's transport network so you can focus on Venice.
