Three full days, every vaporetto, every city bus, every tram, the People Mover and the Lido buses — for €45. The variant most visitors buy and the one Venice locals would recommend you start with.

A typical Venice visit is two to three full days. Two of them already include an island half-day (Murano + Burano), and an island half-day costs you at least four vaporetto rides. With single tickets at €9.50 that is already €38 — for one half-day. The 72-hour Vaporetto ticket is €45 for three days of unlimited rides. After five rides over the trip you are already cheaper than single tickets — and you stop watching the clock.
Three situations where €45 is the easiest decision you make for the trip.
San Marco on day one, Murano + Burano on day two, Lido or a quieter loop on day three. Six to ten rides total. €45 covers all of them.
Children under 6 ride free. With a 72-hour ticket you skip every queue and never explain a new ticket at every transfer.
Get the same 72 hours for €33 total with the Rolling Venice bundle — €18 cheaper than the standard ticket.
A single 75-minute ticket costs €9.50. So the 72-hour ticket beats single tickets from your fifth ride onwards — usually somewhere on day two.
| Rides over 3 days | Cost with single tickets | Cost with 72-hour ticket | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 rides | €28.50 | €45 | + €16.50 for the ticket |
| 5 rides | €47.50 | €45 | – €2.50 |
| 8 rides | €76 | €45 | – €31 |
| 12 rides | €114 | €45 | – €69 |

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.
The moment you first tap the ticket against a yellow Tappy validator — not when you buy the voucher and not when you collect it at the machine. So you can pick up the ticket the night before and only start the clock the next morning.
Yes — comfortably. Most visitors do Murano + Burano in one day (Line 12 from Fondamente Nove), Lido as a half-day (Line 1 or 5.2), and the historic centre with the remaining time. The 72-hour Vaporetto ticket covers every leg.
Two 24-hour Vaporetto tickets cost €50 — the 72-hour ticket is €45 and gives you 24 more hours. The only reason to buy 24-hour tickets is if you also need Trenitalia regional trains, which only the 24-hour ticket includes.
Yes — at the Venezia Unica machine, when you redeem your voucher, add the ACTV Aerobus for +€7 one-way or +€13 return. Cheaper than two separate tickets and you only carry one card.
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.
Official ACTV ticket via GetYourGuide. Use on any day. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before use.
