[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The vaporetto line 6 of the public transport agency ACTV is the fastest line available to reach the Venetian Lido since it makes only a few stops along the route.<\/p>\n
In this article you will find information on timetables, stops and a variety of points of interest located near the\u00a0 vaporetto stops of line 6 to help you best organize your next vacation in Venice.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
The vaporetto line 6 ACTV begins its itinerary at the stop by the bus station (Piazzale Roma), there it travels along the external western perimeter of the city, where it stops at some of the more popular stops along its route such as Zattere, Giardini della Biennale and Lido, the last stop.<\/p>\n
This line is the most practical for those tourists who need to move to and from this side of Venice and the Lido. This quick line to the Lido offers a panoramic view on the Venetian laguna and gives the opportunity to visit a number of attraction along its itinerary.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”16172″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Vaporetto line 6 travels around the external western perimeter of Venice, offering a picturesque view on the Laguna and on the historic center when the water-bus travels the Giudecca Canal. Let’s see all the the stops more in detail.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Please note that the busiest stops (usually those closest to the main attractions) have more than one platform, and all are located close to one another. Each pier is indicated by the name of the stop and then a letter<\/strong> in progression.<\/em><\/p>\n Bear in mind that the stops to and from Lido are on the same platform<\/strong>, not on the opposite sides of the canal<\/strong>. Be careful which direction the boat you are about to board travels to.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_gmaps link=”#E-8_JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbSUyRm1hcHMlMkZkJTJGZW1iZWQlM0ZtaWQlM0QxT0J1T3MxRi1nakdKRkdvSG9VOWxjNGRWTXo5ejZzdyUyNmVoYmMlM0QyRTMxMkYlMjIlMjB3aWR0aCUzRCUyMjY0MCUyMiUyMGhlaWdodCUzRCUyMjQ4MCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The vaporetto Line 6 ACTV is active exclusively during daytime from Monday to Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n In Venice vaporetto timetables are subject to change and seasonal variation<\/strong>.

During the path to and from the Venetian Lido it is possible to hop off and visit a variety of attractions located at walking distance from the stops.<\/p>\n Let’s see some of those attractions more in detail:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_accordion active_tab=”1″][vc_accordion_tab title=”Connections with the mainland”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Dorsoduro”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Castello”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Lido S.M.E.”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordion][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”16063″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Venice vaporettos are operated by the local transit authority ACTV<\/strong>. To travel on the water-buses, you\u2019ll need either a single-fare ticket (valid for 75 minutes), all-day or multi-day ticket (available up to 7 days)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n ACTV vaporetto tickets allow unlimited travel on public water during the validity period of the ticket<\/strong> you purchased.<\/p>\n In the following paragraph we\u2019ll look into fare prices, the difference among the tickets and where it is more convenient to buy them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Based on the number of days of your stay in Venice, you can choose among a variety of tickets sold by the public transit agency ACTV. In order to save up on transport money, we suggest you organize your schedule to make the most efficient use of your vaporetto tickets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Vaporetto tickets available are valid for 75 minutes, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days or 7 days<\/strong> at the following prices:<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1663079906601{background-color: #a51d1f !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”15033″ img_size=”300×300″ onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/www.venezia-help.com\/ext\/line-6-skip-the-line-ticket-1-to-7-days_en-2″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Here you can buy your vaporetto tickets commission free! Clearly the convenience<\/strong> of each vaporetto ticket depends on some variables<\/strong> such as your itinerary, period of stay and frequency of use<\/strong> of public transport.<\/p>\n The water-bus line 6 offers a short route that connects the bust station (Piazzale Roma) to the Venetian Lido, therefore it is intended to provide a rapid connection service. With this premise, if you plan on travelling by vaporetto to reach distant parts of Venice and then discover the city and its surroundings by walking, then a single-fare ticket for each path would be the most cost-effective option.<\/p>\n Contrarily if your visit to the Lido (or your trip to Venice from the Lido) is part of an extensive itinerary that might perhaps include some of the islands of the Venetian archipelago then, travelling at least three times by vaporetto in a day, purchasing a daily ticket would be the most convenient option<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”16184″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Here are some reductions available for vaporetto Line 6 ACTV:<\/p>\n The vaporetto line 6 ACTV tickets are not refundable and cannot be exchanged.<\/em> [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1663079906601{background-color: #a51d1f !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”15033″ img_size=”300×300″ onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/www.venezia-help.com\/ext\/line-6-skip-the-line-ticket-1-to-7-days_en-3″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Here you can buy your vaporetto tickets commission free! Vaporetto line 6 ACTV tickets are available both online and at the box offices located next to the vaporetto platforms in Venice. Most online websites allow you to purchase your vaporetto line 6 tickets directly on your smartphone<\/strong>, so you can skip the long queues in front of the box offices and go to the vaporetto platforms straight away. The opportunity to buy tickets online can prove very useful even when you’re alrealy discovering Venice. Tourists often risk missing their water-bus because of the long lines at the box offices or find themselves at stops with no ticket stands.<\/p>\n For this reason buying online is practical. Moreover, you\u2019ll have your tickets on your phone, so you won\u2019t risk losing or demagnetizing them by accident<\/strong>.<\/p>\n By purchasing your vaporetto line 6 tickets online you can keep them on your mobile or use the PNR code on the voucher to pick up your physical ticket at the machines displaying the Venezia Unica logo.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”42px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Buy your vaporetto line 6 ticket here<\/a><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”42px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n You can buy vaporetto line 6 tickets in person at the ticket offices in Venice<\/strong> (usually located next to the platforms) or in authorized retailers in the old town<\/strong> (recognizable by the ACTV logo)<\/p>\n Buying tickets at the box offices can be useful if you need to ask for directions and information<\/strong>, however be aware that some sellers might not speak English<\/strong>. ACTV ticket offices in Venice are small box-offices located outdoors<\/strong>, and of course can have very long queues of tourists waiting<\/strong> in front of them. If you plan on visiting Venice during fall or winter, you are likely to face the very typical phenomenon of high tide<\/strong>. In order to be fully prepared and equipped, we suggest checking the tidal flow<\/a> since the vaporetto routes can sometimes vary depending on the water level.<\/p>\n If water reaches 95 cm the vaporetto line 6 service undergoes some temporary variations. From October to March, fog<\/strong> covering the canals is also very frequent.<\/strong> Whenever visibility is lower than 150 meters, <\/strong>the itinerary of vaporetto line 6 will be momentarily suspended until visibility conditions have improved.<\/strong><\/p>\n These phenomena occur yearly, therefore our suggestion is to organize a flexible itinerary including a number of alternative destinations in case of bad weather and high tide.<\/p>\n Lastly, please note that the vaporetto line 6 is completely accessible to wheelchair users and strollers<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][vc_column][\/vc_column]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vaporetto line 6 sails along the western coast of Venice and connects the city to the Lido.
