About the Giudecca Palanca A – Zattere B crossing
ACTV provides an overnight water bus service connecting Giudecca Palanca A with Zattere B, with a crossing time of just 2 minutes. This domestic Italian route runs every day of the week. The timetable lists eight sailings in total, all concentrated in the early morning hours.
Timetable and Departures
The first water bus departs at 00:34, and the final departure is scheduled for 05:14. These frequent but late-night sailings cross the Giudecca Canal in Venice. Given the short duration and specific time window, the service functions as a key link after regular daytime services have ended.
From the Zattere B vaporetto stop, connections are available to other Venetian destinations including Lido S.M.E. E and S. Marco-San Zaccaria B. The Giudecca Palanca A stop also offers a connection to Redentore. This ACTV service effectively bridges two parts of the city during the night.
