Sobre Venice Marco Polo Airport

Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) is the main airport for Venice, Italy. It sits at Tessera, on the edge of the Venetian Lagoon, about 7.5 km northeast of the historic center. It is a different airport from Treviso Airport (TSF), about 30 km away, which some airlines market as Venice Treviso.

Airlines fly from here to cities across Europe, with longer routes to Dubai, Doha and Istanbul and seasonal flights to North America. Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz Air and Volotea run large networks, while ITA Airways, Lufthansa, Air France, KLM, British Airways, Delta and United link Venice with their hubs.

All flights use one terminal: arrivals on the ground floor and departures on the floor above, with separate Schengen and non-Schengen areas. A covered walkway of about 10 minutes leads from arrivals to the airport's own water dock.

From the dock, Alilaguna water buses and water taxis cross the lagoon to the city. By road, buses and taxis reach Piazzale Roma, the bus terminal at the edge of the historic center, in about 15 to 25 minutes. From the airport, travelers head to San Marco, Rialto, Murano, the Lido, Mestre and the Marittima cruise terminal.

Consejos de llegada a Venice Marco Polo Airport

If you arrive from outside the Schengen area, you pass passport control before baggage claim; flights from Schengen countries skip it. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation.

Collect your bags in the arrivals hall on the ground floor, then pass customs into the public area.

From there you have two directions. Water transport is signed "Water Transport" or "Boats to Venice": a covered walkway of about 10 minutes leads to the dock, where the Alilaguna water buses and the water taxis leave. Road transport is right outside the arrivals hall, with the bus stops for Piazzale Roma and Mestre and the official taxi stand. Pre-booked drivers usually wait in the arrivals hall with a name sign; water taxi drivers meet passengers at the dock. Use only the official taxi stand and the signed water taxi desk.

Venice uses Central European Time with daylight saving time, and the currency is the euro. Summers are hot and humid, and autumn and winter bring fog and occasional high water (acqua alta) in the city.

Transporte terrestre

Most travelers take the bus to Piazzale Roma or an Alilaguna water bus, and choose a water taxi when speed or heavy bags matter more.

  • Alilaguna water bus

    Leaves from the airport dock, about 10 minutes' walk from arrivals. The Blue and Orange lines stop at Murano, Fondamente Nove, Rialto, San Marco and other stops, taking around 60 to 75 minutes; it is slow, but it reaches stops close to many hotels.

  • Water taxi

    Private boats leave from the same dock and take about 30 minutes to the historic center, often stopping near your hotel. It is the quickest way into the lagoon city, but boats carry only a small group.

  • Bus to Piazzale Roma

    ATVO express buses and ACTV line 5 (Aerobus) leave from outside arrivals and take about 20 to 25 minutes to Piazzale Roma. From there you continue on foot or by vaporetto, which can be hard with heavy luggage on bridges.

  • Taxi from Venice airport

    The official taxi stand is in front of the arrivals hall. A road taxi reaches Piazzale Roma in about 15 to 20 minutes, or drives straight to hotels in Mestre and on the mainland, but cannot go further into the historic center.

  • Private transfer

    A pre-booked driver meets you in arrivals and drives you to Piazzale Roma, Mestre, the cruise terminal or towns on the mainland. For hotels in the historic center, the road part ends at Piazzale Roma unless the transfer is by boat.

  • Bus to Mestre station

    ACTV lines 15 and 45 and ATVO buses run to Venice Mestre railway station, where trains leave for the rest of Italy. Local lines stop often, so the ride is slower than the express.

The official road taxi stand is in front of the arrivals hall. A taxi takes about 15 to 20 minutes to Piazzale Roma, or can drive you to hotels in Mestre and the mainland. Road taxis cannot enter the historic center, so for a hotel on the canals you continue on foot, by vaporetto or by water taxi.

Can I use Uber at Venice airport?

Uber operates in the Venice area and can be booked from Marco Polo Airport for trips to Mestre, the mainland and Piazzale Roma. No car can go beyond Piazzale Roma, because the historic center has no roads. For a hotel on the canals, you finish the trip on foot, by vaporetto or by water taxi.

The Marittima cruise terminal is next to Piazzale Roma.
