Travel to Venice
Located in the Veneto region in northern Italy, Venice is easy to reach by train, car, or plane from within Italy and abroad.
By plane
Venice Marco Polo Airport (IATA: VCE) is the closest international airport, about 13 km from the city. You can reach the airport from other major European airports in ~2-hour or shorter flights.
From Venice Marco Polo Airport, you can reach the venue by first taking the Alilaguna (blue line) service to the Railway Station. Most of the day, it runs every 30 minutes, and after 1h 20 minutes, it stops at San Zaccaria Pier B1 (300 meters East of Saint Mark Square).
By train
By high-speed train, Venice is 2.5 hours from Milan or Florence, 3.5 hours from Rome, and 5 hours from Naples.
The main train station is 'Venezia Santa Lucia'.
There are 2 main companies connecting the main cities; for ticket purchases and routes, check their websites:
-
Trenitalia, offering both fast trains between major cities and regional trains reaching smaller cities
-
ItaloTreno, with fast trains for the major cities
From the Railway station, you can take the Alilaguna (blue line) service towards the Airport. It runs every 30 minutes and stops at San Zaccaria Pier B1 (300 meters East of Saint Mark Square) after 36 minutes. Or you can take any other water service towards S. Mark Square.
By boat
Finally, take ACTV line 20 towards San Servolo. The waterbus leaves from the San Zaccaria Pier ('Molo') B. A boat leaves every 40 minutes (see the timetable) and reaches the island in 10 minutes; it docks in front of the venue entrance. The first ride is at 6.55 AM, the last at 0.30 PM. The same is valid for the way back to Venice city center.
