IMPORTANT: Independent Airport Transfers in Venice (post-trip extension only): Travelers
on the post-trip extension who chose to arrange their own airport transfer in Venice should
keep in mind most transportation is by water and involves advance reservations. You’ll have a
few options:

• One option is to take a water taxi. Water taxis generally need to be pre-booked and are

you’ll want to make your reservation no later than a day or two before you leave Venice.
You won’t be able to join our water taxi at the last minute. We need a “head count” early

• Water taxis can be expensive. At time of writing, Trip Advisor estimated the cost to be
80-125 euros (about $100-$160). There are two lower cost options: a shared water taxi,
known as “Airport Link” or “Bucintoro Viaggi” and the Alilaguna ferries.

route that only picks up passengers in certain locations. The shared water taxi costs more
than the ferry, but is considerably less expensive than a private taxi—usually about a
third of the cost. For more information check a good guidebook or go online to www.
alilaguna.it (Alilaguna ferries) or www.venicelink.com (Airport Link).
