About the S.Elena-Stadio Penzo "C" – Lido S.M.E. "A" crossing

The S.Elena-Stadio Penzo "C" and Lido S.M.E. "A" ferry stops are separated by approximately 1 nautical mile across the Venetian Lagoon. This domestic Italian service is operated by ACTV, which completes the crossing in just 5 minutes. It is a high-frequency link, with 42 sailings currently scheduled every day of the week.

Schedules and Network Connections

Departures begin early at 06:37 and continue until the final sailing at 20:17. This service acts as a short-hop connector within Venice's complex public water transport network. It links the Sant'Elena residential area, known for its public gardens and the Pier Luigi Penzo stadium, directly with the main vaporetto terminal at Santa Maria Elisabetta on the Lido di Venezia.

From the Lido S.M.E. "A" stop, passengers can connect to other ACTV services heading towards F.te Nove "C" or Lido S. Nicolo'. The S.Elena-Stadio Penzo "C" stop also facilitates onward travel to Certosa island and offers alternative piers for other services to the Lido.
