About the Tronchetto Ferry – Lido S. Nicolo' Ferry crossing
Twenty-six departures from 00:20 to 23:20, twenty-three of them every day. Thirty-five minutes and 3.2 nautical miles — among the longest legs in our Venice data, and the one that carries vehicles to the Lido.
Roughly hourly, 05:00 to 23:20
That is the all-week service: twenty-three sailings across eighteen hours. Three more sit on narrower calendars — a Friday 15:30, a Friday-and-Saturday 00:50, and a 00:20 that runs on every day except Friday and Saturday. Between them the night is covered.
Why the Lido has cars and Venice does not
The Lido is a road island — buses, taxis, residents’ vehicles — and this ferry is how they get there. It runs from Tronchetto, the artificial car-park island, because that is where the mainland road stops.
Summer plan to 31 August
Five and a half knots for a thirty-five-minute run. San Nicolò is the northern tip of the Lido, by the port entrance, and a long way from the beachfront most visitors mean.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Time-based tickets & tourist travel cards
