Venice is by far one of the most charming cities in Europe with its water canals, historical and contemporary art scene, vibrant shopping district, and architecture. Venice offers a unique experience to every visitor.
Venice has two passenger airports: The Marco Polo Airport (Tessera) and The Antonio Canova Aiport (Treviso).
The Marco Polo Airport is located 13.8 kilometres from the historical part of Venice, and the ride lasts approximately 15 minutes. Treviso airport, on the other hand, is a bit further, 41 kilometres from the centre of Venice.
Both airports are located on the continental part of Venice, which means that in order to reach the historical centre, you will need to cross the 4 kilometres long, legendary Ponte della Liberta.
From Marco Polo Airport, the taxi ride should be around €40, and from Treviso, the price is double – €80.
Car shares like Uber, Lyft, or Bolt don’t exist in Venice, but you can still book a private chauffeur via Venice Limousine Service, Venice Chauffeur Service, or International Limousine Service.
Another option is to use a ferry boat from Mestre and arrive at the port of Venice.
From the port of Venice, you will have one more canal to cross, and the city offers some unique solutions. One is the water bus, which costs €10 per person per ride. The other one is the so-called “people mover”, which is an electrical wagon with two stops that goes above ground level and offers a wonderful panorama of the city. You can also simply use a taxi or have your private chauffeur take you to the historical centre.
Finally, if you want to charter a helicopter and take a look at the city from the bird’s point of view, keep in mind that your options for landing on the island are fairly limited if any, and you’ll likely have to combine this way of transportation with a water bus or car.
You can book a helicopter ride in Venice via FlyVenice, Helimasters, Helitaly, or Venice Jets.

Which Jets Can You Fly to Venice?
Except for the last route (Atlanta), you can fly any type of jet to Venice from any of the destinations listed in this article.
Turboprops are the most affordable option in all cases where they are available, followed by light jets, midsize jets, and heavy jets.
Turboprops and light jets are convenient options for short-haul flights with fewer passengers, like those from Tirana, Dubrovnik, or Hannover.
However, regardless of the destination distance, if you are travelling with a larger party, midsize and heavy jets are probably a better option for you.
On long-haul flights, these aircraft are usually more comfortable and richer with amenities you might want to enjoy if you’re spending several hours in flight.
Turboprops
In most cases, jets with turbine-powered engines, also known as turboprops, are the most affordable option. They have a range of 2,400 kilometres, usually, however, this number often can vary.
Usually, turboprops are on the affordable side of jets you can fly with. They are convenient for short-haul flights, and with their turbine-powered engines are considered the slowest type of aircraft. Their cruising speed is around 350 knots.
