Information about Venice and its Airport

Marco Polo International Airport (VCE) is the main gateway to Venice and one of Italy's most important airports by tourist volume. It is located on the mainland, about 12 kilometres from the historic city, and has road and water connections.

Although public transport options exist, the easiest and most relaxed way to reach your accommodation is through our private transfers. Your driver will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall of Marco Polo Airport with a sign bearing your name, ready to take you to your hotel on the mainland or to Piazzale Roma, the maximum point where vehicles can access before entering the heart of Venice.

Venice is a unique destination in the world, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. From the majestic St. Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace to romantic gondola rides along the Grand Canal, the city offers a journey back in time. Given the constant influx of travellers throughout the year, booking your transfer to or from Venice Airport in advance is the best guarantee of an organised and stress-free trip.
