About the Ospedale – Celestia crossing
The Venetian ports of Ospedale and Celestia face each other across a narrow canal, a distance of approximately 0 nautical miles. This domestic Italian route is one of several very short water bus, or *vaporetto*, links within the city of Venice itself. The public transport company ACTV manages this specific connection.
Ospedale - Celestia Timetable
ACTV provides a high-frequency service, with 56 scheduled sailings every day. The crossing is extremely brief, taking just 2 minutes from dock to dock.
