We’ll offer roundtrip transportation between the airport and the hotel, which you can request during registration.

The hotel will gladly store your luggage at the front desk.
Venice is a car-free city, so the primary way to get around is by water. Vaporetto (public water buses) offer convenient routes throughout the city and to nearby islands. Water taxis provide a faster, more direct option, while gondolas offer a classic Venetian experience for shorter trips.
Ride-hailing apps do not operate in Venice, but walking is often the best way to explore the city's charming streets and canals.
Venice is known for its incredible cuisine. Explore our handpicked recommendations here to experience the best the city has to offer.
In Italy, dial 112 for all emergency services. Country code is not required.
