Arriving by plane
Venice has its own airport, Marco Polo (ICAO: LIPZ, IATA: VCE), which is located on the mainland. The airport is well connected to the city of Venice with various means. The ACTV and ATVO bus services run regular buses from the airport to Venice Mestre and to Piazzale Roma (10 minutes on foot from Venezia Santa Lucia train station). Information and timetables are available at the airport's website, here. The two companies also have websites: ACTV and ATVO with all the relevant information.
Note: Venezia Mestre is the train station located on the mainland opposite Venice. The train station for the city of Venice is Venezia Santa Lucia.
There is also the option to use a shuttle bus (not free) which enables you to use a ferry or vaporetto directly to Venice. However, we feel that this is a less convenient option, especially if you have much luggage with you.
Some low cost airlines use the Treviso airport (ICAO: LIPH, IATA: TSF) which is further away from Venice on the mainland. The same companies run buses from that airport to Venice.
ATVO buses connect both aiports to close cities like Padua.
