Travel Note

Before You Book

Summer is the high season in Venice. Booking your airfare and stay sooner than later is always better! Using applications like Hopper can help you figure out the best time to buy flights. Keep in mind the time difference! Getting in by Thursday 6/1 is highly recommended in order to have your body fully acclimated by Friday's Welcome Aperitivo.

Flight

Booking Your Flight

The most convenient airport to fly into is Marco Polo International Airport. There is also Malpensa Airport located in Milan as well as Leonardo da Vinci – Fiumicino Airport located in Rome. Either of these airports would require you to take a train into Venice! We recommend taking a high speed train which will take you approximately 2 and a half hours to arrive in Venice. You can look up train schedules and book tickets on sites such as this one: (https://www.italiarail.com/pages/routes/milan-to-venice), or when you arrive!

Travel Note

Getting Into Venice

If you arrive into Marco Polo, you can take a water taxi directly from the airport to your stay. Another option (less expensive) is taking an ACTV Bus to Venezia and then an ACTV Water Bus (Vaporetto) to the stop closest to your stay. You can purchase tickets to the buses in the airport. This is what we did when we arrived. From there, walk straight to your stay. Pro Tip: Maps on your phone is your best friend! It gives you very specific instructions, updated bus times, and more.

House Or Rental

Airbnb or VRBO

Although we have hotel recommendations, Venice has many airbnbs/vrbo's as well. We recommend staying near the San Polo area as it's closer to our reception, closer to many attractions, and much calmer and quieter than other parts of Venice. They tend to book up quickly for Summer so reserve as soon as you can.

Travel Note

Although We Have Our Recommendations...

Although we have our recommendations, there are MANY options to choose from! Staying near San Polo is most convenient but not necessary. Do your research and stay wherever is best for you.
