Venice Vaporetto Tickets 2026: prices and online ticket purchase.

There are several types of Actv vaporetto tickets for tourists and non-residents in Venice. Making the right choice can result in huge savings on a Venice holiday; it depends on which destinations you plan to visit, how many days you will stay in the city, or how you intend to use the vaporetto.
Therefore, you must choose your purchase according to your specific needs.
With these tickets, you can travel across the Lagoon from Torcello to Chioggia, including all the main islands and attractions of Venice: the historic center, Pellestrina, Lido, Punta Sabbioni, Murano, Burano, and Torcello. Book here and skip the line

The cheapest ticket costs € 9.50 and entitles you to use the water bus service for 75 minutes. It is ideal for going to an event and back.
