The most economical way to get into Venice is to take the bus and then a "Vaporetto", which is the Italian word for the "bus ferry" in Venice. To do this, once you collect your baggage and exit the airport, go straight. Once you are outside the airport, cross over the first airport street and then stand on the concrete area, this is where the bus pick-up is located. The bus company is named ATVO and they have luxury royal blue painted buses, Look for the overhead marquee sign that tells when the next bus is leaving. There is another company called ACTV and their buses are orange.

The ATVO timetable is attached to this manual for your convenience. The bus comes every 20 minutes. The cost is 3 euros or 5.50 euros roundtrip.
