At a glance
Is this pass worth it for you?
You take more than 2–3 rides a day, stay overnight in Venice or want to reach Murano/Burano/Torcello. Then the pass almost always pays off.
You're only briefly around St. Mark's and walking everywhere (Venice is very walkable). A 75-minute single ticket is enough then.

The right option for your stay
| Your stay | Recommended option | Why? |
|---|---|---|
| Day trip (1 day in Venice) | 24h | Enough for a round trip, St. Mark's and possibly one lagoon island. |
| 2 days / 1 overnight | 48h | Saves clearly vs. 2× 24h and you stay flexible until departure. |
| 3–4 days of sightseeing | 72h | Fits a long weekend including an island trip. Youth pay less with Rolling Venice. |
| A week or longer | 7 days | Includes mainland bus lines, useful if you stay in Mestre and commute daily. |
| Just one single ride | 75 min | Single ticket: cheaper than any pass if you really only ride once. |

Who this pass suits
Just about any Venice visitor staying overnight
If you sleep in Venice, you almost always take at least 4–6 vaporetto rides: station to hotel, to St. Mark's, back at night. The pass pays off almost every time.
Island hoppers
If you want to visit Murano, Burano or Torcello, you need the vaporetto, and a one-way single costs almost as much as a 24h pass.
Youth (6–29 years)
With the Rolling Venice variant you pay noticeably less for the 72h pass. For longer stays there is no cheaper way to get around.
Where this pass falls short
Points from the reviews and the provider terms to check before you buy:
- In high season the vaporetti are extremely crowded between 10 am and 6 pm. On the San Marco–Rialto–station stretch you might miss the first boat.
- Aerobus and Alilaguna to the airport are NOT included. If you arrive there, you need a separate ticket.
- The activation at the yellow "Tappy" validator before each boarding can confuse at first. Skip it and you're technically fare-dodging.
- Gondolas, traghetti and private water taxis aren't in the pass; a traditional gondola ride costs extra.

Reviews of this pass
From verified bookings, critical ones included. 4.4 ★ from 25,443 reviews on GetYourGuide.
Das 72-Stunden-Ticket war für uns Gold wert: Murano, Burano, Lido — alles drin, keine Einzeltickets mehr nötig. Bei der Anreise vom Flughafen mit Alilaguna kombinierbar.
Wir hatten den 7-Tage-Pass und sind sogar zum Festland und Lido gefahren. Easy zu nutzen, einfach an der gelben Säule abscannen vor Boarding.
24 h reichten für unseren Tagestrip locker. Die Vaporetto-Linie 1 fährt langsamer (Canal-Grande-Tour gleich inklusive), Linie 2 ist die Express-Variante — beides im selben Pass.
Funktioniert. Aber: Mai-Nachmittage sind die Vaporetti zwischen San Marco und Rialto richtig voll, wir konnten zweimal nicht einsteigen. Tipp: morgens vor 9 Uhr oder nach 20 Uhr fahren.
Die Rolling-Venice-Variante für unter 30-Jährige ist ein klarer No-Brainer. Beim Buchen Geburtsdatum nicht vergessen.
In der Hauptsaison so überfüllt, dass die Boote gefühlt nicht mehr für Touristen, sondern für Pendler gedacht waren. Außerhalb der Saison (November war ich) ist es deutlich entspannter.
