From Tronchetto

Getting Around

You are staying at Hampton by Hilton Venice Isola Nuova on Tronchetto. To reach the historic centre, use the ACTV vaporetto, Venice's public waterbus.

Start with the right option

From Tronchetto there are two useful choices. The vaporetto is the scenic water route. The People Mover is the quick land shuttle to Piazzale Roma.

Most useful

Line 2 vaporetto

Use this for the Grand Canal, Rialto, Accademia, San Marco, and the Giudecca side.

Fastest to the gate

People Mover

Use this if you only need Piazzale Roma, the bus/car gateway into Venice.

Always

Validate first
