Colonna (Murano)

From: Venice Waterbus Stops

Murano Colonna is an important ACTV and Alilaguna waterbus stop on the glassmaking island of Murano, a short distance north of Venice's historic center in the Venetian Lagoon. (See our 11-page Murano travel guide.)

The  station is served by:

• ACTV Lines 3, 4.1, 4.2, 18, N public water buses

• Alilaguna Linea Blu airport boats

Look for your boat's route number before boarding, since Colonna has three pontili or boat platforms scattered along the island's southern tip.

Hotels near the Colonna station include the six-room Murano Palace (B&B), which you can reach without crossing any bridges, and the Hotel Al Soffiador (two stars), a short walk inland from the Murano Faro vaporetto stop.

Note: This station has a ticket booth that is open during business hours. It does not have a ticket machine, so read this if you're departing from Colonna without a ticket and the booth is closed.
