About the Rialto Mercato – Rialto B crossing

The Rialto Mercato and Rialto B landings in Venice are separated by the Grand Canal, a crossing of just a few metres. ACTV, Venice's public transport authority, manages this high-frequency water bus service, operating 72 sailings every day of the week. The crossing takes between 3 and 5 minutes from one bank to the other.

Rialto Crossing Timetable

This route is a core component of Venice's vaporetto network, functioning as a pedestrian 'traghetto' crossing. Departures begin at 05:17 and continue until the final sailing at 20:02. The service is primarily used by residents and visitors for direct access between the Rialto Market on the San Polo side and the San Marco side of the canal.

As a key transit point, the Rialto Mercato landing also offers ACTV connections to Ca' d'Oro and the Rialto D stop. From the Rialto B landing on the opposite bank, passengers can connect to services heading towards S. Angelo and S. Silvestro. The service is integrated into the city's overall public transport system.
