About the Giardini A – Arsenale A crossing

The Arsenale A vaporetto stop is connected to Giardini A by a direct ACTV public transport service. The crossing takes just 3 minutes and runs every day with 98 sailings scheduled. Departures begin at 00:15 and continue through the day until the last boat at 23:17.

Route Context

This is one of the shortest point-to-point vaporetto journeys available in Venice. The distance is listed as approximately zero nautical miles, indicating the two stops are extremely close across the water.
