Flights to Venice Airport
You can catch our direct flights to Marco Polo Airport from eight different UK airports. These include international flights from London Heathrow, London City and Bristol. The flight time comes in at around two hours, so you’ll land in Venice quicker than you could drive a circuit of the M25 during rush hour. The airport is practically on the city centre’s doorstep – just 15 minutes away by car. Alternatively, kick off your city break with a water taxi ride from the airport. Ask the captain to take the sightseeing route and you’ll cruise along the Grand Canal, beneath impressive bridges like the Rialto and the Bridge of Sighs. Once you’ve settled in to your hotel, you can navigate more of the winding canals, whose banks are home to grand palaces, world-renowned art galleries and extravagant churches. Plus, Venice’s backstreets are full of hidden gems like historic bookshops, bustling piazzas and waterside cafés. Not to mention gelaterias that will satisfy sweet-toothed adults and children alike. For a change of scenery, you can head over to the nearby beaches of Lido di Jesolo and Bibione. Or, take daytrips to Verona, Lake Garda, or the Dolomites. Our direct flights to Venice Airport are the gateway to the highlights of Venice and northern Italy – be sure to check our Flight Deals page for the latest offers.

- If you’re continuing your journey from the airport by car, just hop onto the SS144 and SR11 – they’ll connect you to the outskirts of Venice.
- As Venice is set on the water and uses a system of canals rather than roads, cars can’t be driven into the city itself. You can leave cars at the Tronchetto car park, which is just outside the city. It costs €21 to leave your car here for 24 hours.
- If you’re considering catching the train into Venice’s city centre, you’ll need to take a bus to the Mestre Train Station first. From there, you can board a train to Santa Lucia Train Station, which takes around 10 minutes.
- ACTV and ATVO buses link the airport with Piazzale Roma in Venice.
- You can purchase bus tickets at the ticket office in the arrivals hall, from the machines in the luggage reclaim area – near carousels three and five – or on ATVO buses.
- The bus ride from Marco Polo Airport to Venice city centre takes around 20 minutes on the ATVO bus, or 40 on the ACTV route.
