City guide
Visiting Venice in August
August brings peak summer warmth around 28°C, culminating in the glamour of the Venice International Film Festival on the Lido late in the month.
Venice spreads across 118 small islands in a shallow coastal lagoon along the northwest Adriatic Sea. The 'Floating City' is an extraordinary architectural triumph, threaded by more than 150 canals and united by four hundred stone footbridges.
- From the airport
- Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) is located 13 kilometres north of the city on the edge of the lagoon. The Alilaguna water bus (Orange or Blue lines) cruises directly across the water to stops like San Marco and Rialto in about an hour. Express buses from ACTV (Line 5) and ATVO cross the causeway to Piazzale Roma in 20 minutes. Private water taxis cost between 120 and 140 euros.
- Getting around
- Venice is entirely pedestrianized and best discovered by walking; wear comfortable shoes to manage the arched bridge stairways. Waterborne public transit is provided by ACTV vaporetti (water buses). Line 1 offers a classic, leisurely cruise down the entire length of the Grand Canal. A 24-hour or 72-hour pass offers great value.
