How to reach us

After exiting the motorway, follow the signs for Venezia Centro. Cross the long bridge, Ponte della Libertà, which connects Venice to the mainland.

At the end of the bridge you will find a traffic light. Turn right and follow the signs for the Ferry Boat (motozattera) boarding point. You will see the signs “Ferry per Lido”.

The ferry leaves approximately every 50 minutes and the crossing takes approximately 35 minutes.

The cost of the ticket depends on the size of the vehicle (on average it is approximately Euro 45.00 plus passengers for a one-way trip).

Passengers can ask the ticket clerk for Travel Cards to use all public service lines during the dates of their stay.
