DanL Posted June 12, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 12, 2010 A bit confused on best purchase approach for water bus tickets from http://www.actv.it/en/movinginvenice/movinginvenice We will be in Venice from 1pm, staying on ship first night then spending an extra day/night in Venice. The 36 hour travel card is 23Euro, but a 10 journey booklet for water services is 10Euro. The 10 journey seems the better deal. Am I missing something? Mainly want to do the Grand canal bus #1 & circular #82 (plan to walk most elsewhere). It appears that they are ~3 Euro each. Are the 10 journey booklets usable for these? Or should we just pay for the rides individually as we use them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted June 12, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Am I missing something? Yes, you are. Those are the prices for people with a Cartavenezia card, which costs 40 Euro per person. The single use fare is Euro 6,50 without the card. Depending on when you will be in Venice, there may be a discount for purchasing ahead of time through Venice Connected: http://www.veniceconnected.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penny1 Posted June 18, 2010 #3 Share Posted June 18, 2010 You can buy a 24 hr vaporetta pass for 18 euros at St Marks Square. Time starts when you validate ticket for first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms.sunburn Posted June 19, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I don't understand why people buy a 24 hr vs. a 12 hr. vaporetto card. For a good portion of that 24 hrs. you'll be in bed! The vaporetto is not a deal for tourists, but Venice is so small you can walk anywhere. I wouldn't bother with a pass unless you have mobility issues. My husband and I bought a single ticket for 6.50 when we wanted to cruise around the perimeter and also when we wanted to cruise along the Grand Canal. The perimeter waterbus was worth it, but the Grand Canal trip was too crowded to be any fun at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
