Venice Marco Polo Airport Ground Transportation Map (2025)
Wayfinding starts on water here. Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) connects air and lagoon travel through its mix of docks, bus bays, and mainland rail links.
That’s because the terminal sits directly on the edge of the lagoon, so transfers often start by water taxi or Alilaguna ferry rather than by road.
