If you’re flying to Venice, there are two main options, according to your requirements.

The city is well served by the Marco Polo International Airport, which is very handy for tourists from across Europe.

Visitors will be delighted to find that after they have picked up their bags, a seven minute walk will take them to the dock where water taxis or Alilagune waterbuses to Venice will be found. You better get used to water though, this is the only way they get around in Venice, so if you aren’t a fan of the wet stuff you may prefer a different destination.

One of the best Venice travel tips is to buy a multi-trip ticket at the airport, as it will save lots of money if you are staying for more than one day. They are available for three days or a week, and give unlimited access to vaporetti.

There are many websites worth checking out when it comes to buying an air ticket, some of which compare prices of various operators.

Price comparison sites, however, won’t show the low-cost air carriers. Here, it is a case of visiting the specific airline’s site.

Ask anyone who has flown to the city and they’ll say that one of the best Venice travel tips is to fly to Treviso, rather than Marco Polo Airport.

Both bmi Baby and Ryanair fly to Treviso, and their fares are very competitive.

There are positives and negatives to taking this option. The good news is that you will likely save money, and that there are buses which run from outside the terminal connecting it with Piazzale Roma in around an hour.

The main drawback is that if you arrive late at night, your accommodation options are rather limited.

If it is too late to catch the bus into the city, you will need to check into a Treviso hotel, which will probably involve you taking a taxi from the airport, as the local buses are infrequent at night. If you factor two taxi journeys into the equation, it might not make a Treviso flight much cheaper than flying to Marco Polo.
