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.
