The Island of Sant'Erasmo is located in the northern lagoon not far from Venice and is by extension the largest lagoon island immediately after Venice. It has kept the name of Orto di Venezia for centuries since numerous vegetables are produced here including the famous violet artichoke.

You can go to the Island of Sant'Erasmo with the Actv vaporetto lines, the public water and land transport service in Venice, which makes connections to every destination in the historic center of Venice and the islands of the lagoon by means of various cabotage water buses.

There is no direct line from Piazzale Roma (car parks or buses) or from the station but you have to reach Fondamente Nove or Murano and change for Sant'Erasmo.

Which ticket to choose for my visit to Sant'Erasmo?

For tourists and non-residents there are various types of ACTV tickets to choose from depending on the length of stay in the city or the use of the vaporetto you want to do.

If you only visit Sant'Erasmo you can buy the 75-minute ticket for € 9.50; however, if you plan to add the visit to Murano and Burano , the 24-hour ticket of € 25 is better, otherwise you would use 4 to 6 tickets of 75 minutes even spending double.

The journey from Piazzale Roma or Stazione to Fondamente Nove with line 4.2 takes 27'/ 23'.
The journey from Fondamente Nove to Sant'Erasmo (Capannone) with line 13 lasts 28'.

Total travel time: 55/51 minutes + waiting at F. Nove.

So the 75 minute ticket could be fine but also expire during the journey in case of small delays. In this case, contact the sailor to advise him. To be on the safe side, the 24-hour ticket is better.

However, from Piazzale Roma and the station there is a faster alternative: Line 3 in 24 minutes with Murano Faro stop + Line 13 in 19 minutes.

Total travel time: 43 minutes + waiting in Murano Faro. Choice that makes sense when buying the 75-minute ticket.

So you have to plan the purchase according to your needs. The day ticket expires 24 hours after the first validation. The same for the other day tickets.

Vaporetto ticket validation

Once you have bought your vaporetto ticket, you must remember to validate it before entering the landing stage by passing it in front of the special digital machines until you get the correct sound signal with green light.
The main stops have access gates but the secondary stops do not have them and you could forget to validate the ticket and face an unpleasant fine.
The obligation to validate the travel ticket is active on each journey also for timed tickets and season tickets.

Furthermore, if the disabled person has a companion, the latter does not pay for the ticket.
