The airport located the closest to Venice is Marco Polo Airport. Tourists who want to get to Venice have, however, yet another alternative at hand, namely, Treviso Airport. It’s true the former is the busier of the two, but the bottom line is visitors do have two options to choose from, which is reassuring enough since Venice, with its worldwide popularity, should be dully serviced by such venues.

On top of that, the airport transfer means are extremely reliable. More or less straightforward, these means take tourists from any of the two airports to Venice or to Mestre (from where other connections are available) such that, once landed, tourists can rightfully state Venice stretches at their feet.

Marco Polo Airport of Venice

Marco Polo Airport is located some 8 kilometers from the Venetian Lagoon, on the mainland Italy. It is the most recommendable solution for people who want to fly to Venice. We speak of one of the largest and busiest airports in north Italy, its performances (it welcomes more than 6 million passengers each year) being directly linked to its servicing the tourist and commercial platform of Venice.

Thus, tourists from big cities like Amsterdam, Nice, Philadelphia, Vienna, Dubai and Bucharest can land at Marco Polo by turning to the flights operated by the more than 40 airline companies the activity of which is hosted by the airport, such as Belle Air, Emirates, British Airways, Alitalia, U.S. Airways, Lufthansa, and Carpatair.

Being, as said, one of the largest airports in Italy, Marco Polo is fully endowed with all services and facilities intended to ease passengers’ transit. Thus, we can list the shopping opportunities, the restaurants, the banking services, the post offices, the car rental companies, and the WiFi spots. The people with reduced mobility are just as welcome at Marco Polo, since the airport is duly prepared to meet their needs (special facilities and services designed to ease their passage through the airport).

Airport transfers from Marco Polo Airport to Venice

By bus

ATVO is the largest bus company in the province of Venice. Its range of services is understandably complemented by airport transfers from the main airports of the province, Marco Polo included, to sundry important destinations in the region, such as Lignano, Caorle, Bibione, Eraclea Mare and, of course, Venice and Treviso. The buses from Marco Polo to Venice (in Venice, the bus terminal is located in Piazzale Roma) run every half an hour, from around 8am to about 30 minutes past midnight. A trip from Marco Polo to Piazzale Roma lasts around 20 minutes.

By water bus

A less mainstream manner of getting from Marco Polo to Venice, yet a very adequate one, refers to the water buses (motoscafi) run by Alilaguna. The company maintains three lines, that is, Linea Alilaguna Blue, Linea Alilaguna Rossa and Linea Arancia. The common stops between the first two lines refer to, of course, the airport, and areas like San Marco, Murano and Lido. The terminal of Alilaguna Blue is Molino Stucky, whereas the terminal of Alilaguna Rossa is the so-called Marittima (Port of Venice). For a trip or a stop in Rialto, tourists can just as well opt for Linea Arancia.

By water taxi

Most of the water taxi companies in Venice complement their range of services with airport transfer solutions. It is highly likely that a water taxi trip from the airport to Venice costs much more than the public transport means, but the rapidity of the trip is guaranteed. On top of that, tourists enjoy the advantages of a private trip, not to mention the distinction a luxury taxi company can add to one’s trip from Marco Polo to the lagoon.

Treviso Airport

While the distance between Treviso and Venice is much longer than the one between Marco Polo and the lagoon, this airport is just as worth taking into account by tourists who want to fly to Venice, in particular by budget travelers. Indeed, the airport hosts the activities of sundry low-cost airline companies, such as Ryanair, Wizz Air, Belle Air, German Wings and Transavia and, despite the fact this is a smaller landing venue, it does provide flight connections with cities like Amsterdam and Bucharest, Casablanca, Dublin and Barcelona.

The airport is not so well endowed as Marco Polo, but the basic services and facilities are available to passengers’ use (shopping venues, eateries, car rental opportunities). The people with reduced mobility are not disregarded either, so, the bottom line is Treviso Airport remains a decent alternative to be taken into account (not to mention the fact it stands out as an entrance gate to the entire world of tourist possibilities specific to the Venetian coastline, with resorts like Jesolo, Bibione, Caorle and Eraclea Mare).
