About the Giardini Biennale A – Spirito Santo crossing

A crossing time of just 8 minutes makes this ACTV-run domestic service in Venice one of the city's shortest water bus routes. ACTV provides 41 scheduled sailings every day of the week, covering a distance of approximately one nautical mile. The timetable is consistent throughout the week, with the first boat departing Giardini Biennale A at 06:50 and the final service leaving at 20:10.

Timetable and Connections

The high frequency of sailings means passengers will rarely wait long for a departure. With a departure roughly every 20 minutes through the core of the day, planning is straightforward. This route is part of a local network of services within the Venetian Lagoon. From Giardini Biennale A, ACTV also provides direct water bus connections to Arsenale A, S. Marco-San Zaccaria D, Sacca Fisola B, and Zattere A.

Spirito Santo is a smaller stop with fewer direct onward links. From this pier, passengers can connect directly to Giardini Biennale B and Zattere A. The short duration of the crossing from Giardini Biennale A means booking is not typically required for foot passengers on these high-capacity vaporetti.
