They allow unlimited travel and can be used on all the services - both waterborne (except those of  route Alilaguna, 19, 16, 21 and Casinò) and on land - that provide urban services within the municipality ("Comune") of Venice (land services on the Lido and in Mestre). 

Validity can be 12, 24, 36 48, 72 hours or 7 days from stamping, depending on the chosen tariff solution. Included in the price is the transport of one luggage item of up to 150 cm as the sum of its three dimensions.

Elisabetta, Burano, Punta Sabbioni, Aeroporto Marco Polo,municipal car park in Piazzale Roma, Ospedale dell'Angelo, and the authorized resellers.

They allow tourist coaches arriving at Venice main island to benefit from the ordinary "ZTL" (Limited Traffic Zone) tariff with ACTV public transport. (information: Hellovenezia call center +39 041 24.24).

Venice (Italian: Venezia) is one of the most interesting and lovely places in the world. This sanctuary on a lagoon is virtually the same as it was six hundred years ago, which adds to the fascinating character. Venice has decayed since its heyday and is heavily touristed (there are slightly more tourists than residents), but the romantic charm remains.

Every Friday at 20:45 Ikarus Bus leaves from Stuttgart Airport ( Bus stop : Outside Terminal 3 & 4 Arrivals). Check your ticket for address...
