Waterbus lines to Chioggia, how to get there from Venice historic center and the islands and tips for buying tickets

The island of Chioggia can be reached by vaporetto or by bus from Piazzale Roma; the choice depends on where you are located in the historic center of Venice. There are in fact two possibilities: the "via mare" (by sea) by vaporetto with a transfer at Lido, and the "via terra" (by land) by bus that goes to Chioggia from Piazzale Roma. Therefore, if you are close to Piazzale Roma and the Station, it is better to take the direct ArrivaVeneto bus line 80 Piazzale Roma Venice - Chioggia. By vaporetto, on the other hand, you must first reach Lido and then take Linea 11.
Chioggia has a very popular historic center due to the excellent cuisine of its restaurants, where it is easy to find freshly caught fish at attractive prices. But it is also appreciated for its history and monuments. The center is rich in traditions that find their highest expression in its most famous festivals: the Palio della Marciliana in June and the Sagra del Pesce (Fish Festival) in mid-July.
