Departures originate from Manchester Airport (MAN), located south-west of the city centre, which has multiple terminals handling international traffic. easyJet and Jet2 operate direct services from here to Venice, while Ryanair also provides regular flights.

Flights land at either Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) or Treviso Airport (TSF). From Marco Polo Airport, located 8 miles from the city, the ATVO or ACTV buses run to Piazzale Roma, at the edge of the car-free historic centre, with a journey time of 20 to 35 minutes. Taxis from outside the arrivals hall also stop at Piazzale Roma, in approximately 20 minutes. The Alilaguna Blue, Orange and Red water lines run from the airport to the historic centre.

Passengers arriving at Treviso Airport, situated 19 miles from Venice, can also access dedicated coach services or taxis to reach the city. Private hire vehicles have designated pick-up zones outside the terminal buildings at both airports.

Venice offers an exceptional experience shaped by its historic canals and architectural landmarks. A classic gondola ride along the Grand Canal provides a traditional perspective of the city's waterways. At the centre, St. Mark's Square houses iconic structures including St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace.

Beyond the main waterways, you can explore the Rialto Market for local produce or visit the Peggy Guggenheim Collection to see modern art. Boat trips also run to the nearby Venetian Islands of Murano, Burano, and Torcello, each known for distinct artisan traditions like glassmaking and lace-weaving.
