Buy boat tickets for Torcello

Torcello was a residential center as early as the 5th / 7th century. following the invasions first of the Huns and then of the Lombards. The fugitives from the city of Altino found refuge there. The name of the island probably derives from TURRICELLUM (the tower erected in memory of that of the lost homeland).

You can go to the Island of Torcello 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 Railway station and bus terminal but you have to reach Fondamente Nove or Murano and change for Burano and then another change for Torcello.

Which ticket to choose for my visit to Torcello?

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.

Visiting Torcello also means visiting Burano and maybe even Mazzorbo. Then choose directly the 24-hour ticket fromè 25, perhaps adding the visit to Murano, otherwise you would use 6 to 8 tickets of 75 minutes even spending double.

The journey from Piazzale Roma or Station to Fondamente Nove with line 4.2 takes 27'/ 23'.

The journey from Fondamente Nove to Torcello with line 12 lasts 38' (only until 9.18 am; after it stops in Burano in 39 minutes and then you have to take Line 9 for Torcello: 5 minutes).

Total travel time: 64/68 minutes + waits. So the 75 minute ticket might be fine, but only if you visit Torcello early in the morning. Otherwise with the waits it would expire during the trip. Much better then to buy the 24 hour ticket.

From Piazzale Roma there is a faster alternative: Line 3 in 24 minutes with Murano Faro stop + Line 12 in 30 minutes with Burano stop + Line 9 in 5 minutes.

Total travel time: 59 minutes + waits.

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.
