Are you in Venice in the summer and want to reach the sea from the city center? Quickly to Venice is the service that allows you to move easily and quickly from the city to the sea, all low cost.
After having talked to you about how to get to Venice and how to move around the city, now I want to update you on a novelty of this summer that wants to make it easier for those on a beach holiday on the Riviera of the Eastern Veneto, usually a bit penalized by transport with decidedly extended times.
The service is called Quickly to Venice and for this initiative ACTV and ATVO, the companies of the city public transport and of the regional transport have collaborated for create a single ticket and lines with coordinated timetables between buses and water buses, allowing a connection created ad-hoc in Punta Sabbioni, so as to make it much easier to reach Venice even from the most distant beaches of the Riviera. Imagine how nice it is to arrive in the Lagoon directly in the San Marco basin aboard a vaporetto, a vehicle that allows you to enjoy wonderful views of the city.
Several have been created lines that depart every morning at a predefined time, usually between 7.30 and 8.40 approximately, from Lignano Sabbiadoro, Bibione, Caorle, Duna Verde, Eraclea Mare, Lido Altanea and Porto Santa Margherita direct to Punta Sabbioni where you will find the direct vaporetto in the heart of Venice. There is also a fixed time for the return, at 16.45 pm the vaporetto departs from San Zaccaria (a few steps from Piazza San Marco) and arrives at Punta Sabbioni, where the buses to the coast are waiting.
Da Jesolo Mare and from Cavallino coast public transport is guaranteed throughout the day, starting from 5.10 in the morning until just before 23pm, directed to the pier.
Tickets to use this service are valid for a round trip only for these lines that will be active until September 5th and not on other routes neither managed by ATVO nor by ACTV. Prices start from € 18 for the nearest towns up to € 24,80 for the farthest ones, that is Bibione and Lignano. On the website you will find the details of all the stops made along each line and the points of sale where you can buy the ticket.
Before choosing this solution though consider what your plans will be once in Venice: for example, if you want to go to Murano or Burano or use other lines of Venetian public transport, it will not be convenient to buy other single tickets for the water buses (which would cost € 7 each). In that case it would certainly be better to reach Piazzale Roma with the ordinary ATVO buses that still connect the towns on the coast and then buy a 12h pass.
