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.
