Booked via GetYourGuide
Quick rule of thumb: if you will ride more than three vaporetti in 24 hours, the 24-hour ticket already pays off compared to single tickets.

4.5 out of 5 stars on GetYourGuide — 72% give the Vaporetto ticket five stars. A few of the most recent reviews:
“Works nicely. Tickets could be retrieved with the voucher number directly at our bus station (white/yellow ticket machine).”
“Easy to redeem the tickets and so convenient to use and travel around Venice, Murano and Burano at our own pace. Highly recommended rather than joining a tour.”
“The way to go when in Venice. A sure money-saver since the waterbus is the only means of transfer from one place to another, especially if you want to visit Murano and Burano. Without a pass, each ride costs you about €11.”
“Easy to use, but you need to exchange the voucher for a ticket at the ferry terminal. I did this on arrival from the main station, was really easy to follow and took literally a few minutes.”
“Great! Easy to use and saw so much more than just Venice. The vaporetti that went to the outer islands were so much fun.”
“Great way to see Venice and all the islands. Better value and more fun than a gondola. The ticket worked perfectly at the machine first time — and the screen is in English if you are worried.”
A Venice Vaporetto ticket is the official ACTV "Rete Unica" ticket sold via GetYourGuide. Same ticket, same fare, no surcharge — just a flexible voucher you redeem at any ticket machine when you arrive.
No app to install. No phone tickets. Just a voucher in your inbox and a yellow Tappy reader at the pontoon.
Pick the variant you need on GetYourGuide. Your voucher arrives by email in seconds with a QR code.
Scan your QR at any Venezia Unica TVM — Marco Polo, Piazzale Roma, Santa Lucia, Tronchetto, Lido — to get the physical ACTV smart-ticket in under a minute.
Hold the ticket against the yellow Tappy reader on the pontoon or inside the bus. Green light + beep = you’re good to go.
Three lines do 80% of the touristic traffic. Tap a card to see route, frequency and operating hours.
Stops at every Grand Canal landmark from Piazzale Roma to San Marco. About every 12 minutes, ~45 min end-to-end.
The fastest way from San Marco back to Piazzale Roma. Bigger boats, less crowded than Line 1.
Sightseeing circle around Venice past Cannaregio, Giudecca and Murano. Perfect for a relaxed loop without the Line 1 crowd.
The main line out to the lagoon islands from Fondamente Nove. Every 20 minutes during the day.
Children are free until their 6th birthday on every ACTV vaporetto and city bus in Venice. From age 6, the full adult fare applies — there is no reduced child fare. Bring an ID for borderline cases.
Yes. You can use your ticket on any day — not necessarily the calendar date you bought it on. The clock (75 min, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 7 days) only starts when you first validate it at the yellow Tappy reader.
Vaporetti keep a reduced "minimum service" on the main lines, and the night service runs as normal. Buses and trams have guaranteed slots from 06:00–08:59 and 16:30–19:29. There is no automatic refund — but a goodwill request through GetYourGuide is usually more flexible than going directly to ACTV.
Mostly no. Acqua alta is Venice's seasonal high-tide flooding, mainly between October and March, when the lagoon rises and parts of the city get wet feet. Vaporetti keep running through most of it — but specific stops close above certain tide levels: above 95 cm Line 3 is suspended, above 105 cm the Zattere stop towards San Marco and Lido closes, and above 120 cm access to some pontoons is blocked.
There is no replacement for a lost or stolen physical ACTV ticket. If you have not yet redeemed your voucher, you can still cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before use via GetYourGuide.
No. Since 1 July 2024 cash is no longer accepted on board — only contactless cards and wallets. Buying online is the easiest way around this.
Official ACTV ticket via GetYourGuide. Use on any day. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before use.
