We provide information about the Vaporetto Pass for Venice on this website (no official website).
The vaporetto is Venice's public water bus - the most important means of transportation in a city without roads and cars. The water buses are operated by ACTV and connect all parts of the city, the Grand Canal and the islands of the lagoon.
With a day or multi-day ticket, you have unlimited travel on all ACTV lines: through the Grand Canal, to the glass workshops on Murano, to the colorful houses of Burano, to the beach on the Lido and to Punta Sabbioni. A one-way ticket costs from 9,50 € and is only valid for 75 minutes - the day pass is therefore worthwhile from the third journey.
Good to know: The vaporetto is the public water bus (from 9,50 €), not to be confused with the private water cab (from €70 per trip).

„Totally convenient exploration of Venice and the surrounding area, as you can travel almost everywhere with your all-inclusive ticket and don't have to queue anywhere to buy a one-way ticket.“
„We had a 7-day ticket and got everywhere with it. The water buses run at very short intervals and are even suitable for a short tour of Venice.“
