Bus & train
There are no trains from Marco Polo Airport to the train stations in Venice. Two bus companies have scheduled services to the city: ATVO and ACTV. The journey takes 30 minutes. The ATVO bus is preferable for the comfort. It’s a tour bus with plenty of luggage storage under the bus and rides non-stop to Piazzale Roma. ACTV bus (line 5) is more a city bus and you have to take your luggage on-board of the bus. From Piazzale Roma travelers can take the public water bus to their hotel or to walk. This is the timetable of the ATVO bus.
