The only night service that goes through the Grand Canal. From 23:30 to 04:30, replacing Lines 1 and 2 in one combined route. Quieter, lit, and included in every Vaporetto ticket.
Line N
Line N — night service, Grand Canal + Giudecca
Line N is Venice's essential after-hours vaporetto. From San Zaccaria around Giudecca to Tronchetto, Piazzale Roma, Ferrovia, then back through the Grand Canal (Rialto, Accademia, San Marco) and out to Giardini, Sant'Elena and Lido S.M.E. Around every 20 minutes between 23:30 and 01:30, then hourly until 04:30.
Dinner in Castello or Cannaregio, drinks after, no need for a water taxi — Line N runs until 04:30 with proper Grand Canal stops. Pop your ticket onto the Tappy reader and board.
Around 01:00 the Grand Canal is almost empty. Line N gives you the standard Line 1 route without the crowd — long-exposure photos from the back of the boat, palazzi lit, water like glass.
Line N runs all the way to Lido S.M.E. If you have a late evening at the Lido (the casino, a beach bar in summer), you can still get back to the city without paying for a private taxi.
After the daytime lines stop, Line N keeps the whole Grand Canal alive. The same iconic stops, with empty pontoons and lit palazzi.
Rialto, San Marco, Accademia and Salute all served, with practically nobody around after 01:00. Long-exposure photos, glassy water, lit palaces.
Cannaregio's bacari (cicchetti bars) and Castello's restaurants stay open late. Line N gets you back without a €90 taxi.
The line continues all the way to Lido S.M.E. Useful after a casino evening or a summer beach-bar dinner.
Line N also covers Giudecca and Tronchetto. At Piazzale Roma, the night bus N1/N2 takes over for Mestre — same Vaporetto ticket.
23:30 to 04:30 daily. Every 20 minutes between 23:30 and 01:30, then hourly until 04:30.
Yes — that is its main purpose. It serves Rialto, Accademia and San Marco as well as the Giudecca route. It is the only night service to use the Grand Canal.
Yes. Every Vaporetto ticket variant covers Line N, NLN and NMU — no surcharge for night service. Just tap the Tappy reader before boarding like any daytime ride.
Venice is one of the safest European cities and the night vaporetto is well-lit and crewed. Standard sensible behaviour, but no extra concerns.
