Venezia ⟷ Lido - Connections to reach the island of Lido from Venice

The Lido of Venice is famous for its coastline with beautiful beaches and the Murazzi but also for the Venice Film Festival.

From Piazzale Roma and from the Station by vaporetto to Lido di Venezia you arrive with 3 daytime vaporetto ACTV lines and the night N line. Certainly the fastest solution is line 6 (departing from Piazzale Roma), followed by line 5.1; line 5.2 from Piazzale Roma and Stazione makes an opposite and longer loop than 5.1 so it's better to take you back. While line 1 runs along the Grand Canal (makes all stops). Line N is the only one active at night.

Duration of the journey from P.le Roma: Line 6 in 31 min; Line 5.1 in 32 min; Line 5.2 in 48 min; Line 1 in 65 min, Line N in 47 min.
