01

Independent island hopping

Have a look at ACTV’s route map and timetable to find the right line, stop and departure time. Line 12 connects the islands, though schedules can change. Leave a little time for waiting and for the journey back to Venice.

02

An arranged crossing

The Murano and Burano tour arranges the boat crossings as part of a five-hour outing. Check where to meet and when you’ll return as you plan the day.

03

Keep the day flexible

Going independently gives you more freedom to linger, while a guided outing keeps the day simple with set meeting times. Whichever you choose, make sure you know how you’ll get back to Venice.
