A necessary premise: public transport in Venice is anything but cheap. Furthermore, navigating through the numerous types of Venice public transport tickets may not be easy at all.
The choice should also be weighted according to the length of your vacation and, above all, from the place where you are staying.
SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PASS
Tickets for 24 hours and more are preferable if you want to visit Murano, Burano and other destinations in the lagoon.
If you have chosen to sleep in Venice Lido, you will also have to consider the cost of the transfer to/from Venice. That’s why, prefer subscriptions to ordinary tickets. While they are expensive, they could still save you money.

Here are the most important:
- VENICE DAILY PASS. Integrated ACTV and Trenitalia ticket for all means of Venice and to travel by train in the municipal area of Venice. It costs €21 and is valid for 24 hours from the first validation.

- 3 YOUNG DAYS. This is the 3-day pass with the same characteristics as the previous one, aimed exclusively at young people between the ages of 6 and 29.
