HOW TO GET TO THE CONFERENCE VENUE
BY AIRPLANE
For participants arriving by Airplane at Marco Polo Airport.
Passengers arriving at Marco Polo International airport can reach Venice either by sea or by land.
In general, one’s final destination in the city can help to choose the more convenient and time saving way.
In the case of Phlebology, whose venue is near the “Zattere” water stop, both ways can be considered.
The Alilaguna ferry, is the water connection from the airport to the main areas of Venice, leaving every hour. It takes about one hour and 40 minutes, with the blue line to get to the Zattere , along a route which sails across the Northern lagoon.
Tickets can be bought at the Alilaguna desk in the arrival lounge, or on line at www.alilaguna.it, where you can find more detailed information on lines and timetables.
You can also use the local service buses and ferries (www.actv.it): take the bus nr. 5, or a car taxi, and get to P.le Roma. Then you have to board the line 2 ferry or the faster lines 5.1 or 6, getting off at the “Zattere” stop.
BY TRAIN OR BY CAR
For participants arriving in different areas of the city (by train at Santa Lucia railway station, or by car at Tronchetto Parking area or at Piazzale Roma)
From Santa Lucia station you can take the same line 2 ferry towards Giudecca or the faster lines 5.1 or 6 towards Lido, getting off at the “Zattere”.
If you arrive by car, you can park either at Tronchetto island or in P.le Roma garages. More information and booking opportunities at www.veniceparking.it .
From both places you can take the same line 2 ferry towards Giudecca or the faster lines 5.1 or 6 towards Lido, getting off at the “Zattere”.
WATER TAXIS
Water taxis (expensive) are also available day and night from all arrival points and they can get you straight to your destinations. Many hotels have private piers that taxis can reach directly
