Useful information before boarding the vaporetto in Venice

The vaporetto for disabled people

People with reduced mobility or in wheelchairs can comfortably get on board as the landing stages or pontoons have sufficiently wide courses for passage. In addition, some main stops have also set up a special service for the boarding of people with reduced mobility. Furthermore, if the disabled person has a companion, the latter does not pay for the ticket.

Take the vaporetto with children

In Venice, the islands and the Mainland, children are exempt from paying the ticket up to 5 years of age. From the age of 6 they must have a travel document like adults. Children can only travel if accompanied by an adult.

Vaporetto ticket validation

Once you have bought your vaporetto ticket, you must remember to validate it before entering the landing stage by passing it in front of the special digital machines until you get the correct sound signal with green light. The main stops have access gates but the secondary stops do not have them and you could forget to validate the ticket and face an unpleasant fine.
The obligation to validate the travel ticket is active on each journey also for timed tickets and season tickets.
