Alilaguna Linea Blu and Linea Rossa airport boats run between Marco Polo Airport
and Venice San Marco with a stop at Lido Santa Maria Elisabetta (Lido S.M.E.).
Linea Rossa ("Red Line") is a seasonal line that operates from late April
through October. It tends to be less crowded than the Blue Line, since it
serves only one location in the city center.
ACTV
Linea 17
car ferries arrive at the Lido San Nicolò ferry pier, north of the
town center.
For more information about these traghetti, see our
Venice-Lido Car Ferries
article.
The five-star
Hotel Excelsior doesn't just have a private pier--it has its own harbor,
where boats that resemble large water taxis provide a shuttle service to
Venice.
Motorized vehicles are legal on the Lido di Venezia.
However, the island has no high-speed roads, so it's the perfect place for tiny,
underpowered cars.
As you walk around the Lido, you'll see many vintage cars and trucks.
You'll also
encounter canals and the occasional boathouse.
