Transportation from Venice airport to Hilton Molino Stucky

A Taxi or bus will only get you as far as Piazzale Roma. From there you would need to take a vaporetto to the Palanca stop and walk about 10min. Or you could take an Alilaguna blue line water bus from the airport to the Stucky stop. Or take a private water taxi from the airport to the Stucky stop. It all depends on how much money you want to spend. The hotel recommends that you email their concierge for transportation details.

hey hey Chigirl
does your hotel have a shuttle and ask hotel for directions and their recommendation for transport. what time does your flight arrive, how many bags. always add in cost of transportation within italy and of course other places
so many ways: private water taxi (like a limousine $$), bus, taxi or vaporetto "ferry", what's your preference & tolerance (cost, length of travel, fastest) getting to piazzale roma drop off, you will still need to do water transportation being an island off venice proper. you will need transportation to get back and forth from hilton molino to venice island

Thank you both for your great ideas on this. I appreciate all the input. Whatever we do, it will be lovely to be in Venice ...

Getting to Venice from Marco Polo Airport. [Make sure you have seats on the right/starboard side of the aircraft, for a view of Venice as you fly into Marco Polo.]

A paper map of Venice is the best three euro you will ever spend. Sure, people say that getting lost in Venice is fun. Getting lost, hauling your luggage and not being able to find your hotel is nobody’s idea of fun. Buy that map at the Tabac or bookshop at Marco Polo.

Do take a look at your hotel website – there may be info there. Otherwise,
Water taxi will get you close, maybe to, the door of your hotel. Can carry about ten people, will cost about €140 for the boat. No need to book, taxis are waiting at the Marco Polo dock.

Alilaguna ferry, as per below.

Bus to Piazale Roma, then walk to your hotel, or take vaporetto to the nearest stop. Buses leave from the outside the terminal, tickets at the machine.

Water transport in Venice.
Gondolas. Only for pleasure, not for transport. 90 euro for half an hour for the boat, more for evenings.
Traghetto – big gondolas, two oarsmen, about ten passengers, for crossing the Grand Canal. Found at Rialto, San Toma and a couple of other places. Cost 2 euro per trip, can save a heap of walking.
Water taxis, which are like a floating limo, costs to match.
Vaporettos - ACTV. Are like a floating bus, operate on a bunch of routes. Get the app Chebateo for routes and schedules. Vaps do not service the airport. Vaps are not water taxis.
Alilaguna ferries, service the airport, run from Marco Polo via a bunch of stops to the main part of Venice, Murano and Lido. They stop at some, but by no means all, vaporetto stops.

The Blue Line Alilaguna ferry service does Marco Polo to Molino Stucky.
Google “Alilaguna routes” for info.
At Marco Polo there is a moving footpath from Arrivals to the Alilaguna dock.

Hi, Giangilberto from Milan, good morning. Standard vaporetti (water buses) do not serve Marco Polo Airport, so there are two options: Alilaguna or a water taxi.
Alilaguna has a direct stop at Molino Stucky on the island of Giudecca. The main difference is that a water taxi saves a lot of time, whereas Alilaguna makes many stops along the way, naturally, the cost is a major factor.
You should ask for the taxi price before boarding this is a golden rule throughout Italy: get in, state your destination and ask, a specific rule for water taxis in Venice is that the price remains the same for up to four passengers, with a surcharge applying from the fifth person onwards. Unlike Rome, Venice has no official fixed airport fare, so agree the price before you board and the journey takes about half an hour.
Alilaguna is much cheaper, costing between €15.00 and €20.00, but it takes about an hour and a half to reach the destination because your stop is the second-to-last stop on the Blue Line.
Your stop as reported as Giudecca Stucky.
Just a couple more things: if your flight arrives in the evening, you absolutely must check the time of the last departure from Marco Polo. Here is the official link:

The Blue Line is the one that covers the route you need. As Aussie says, there’s an app called "Che Bateo" it’s fantastic, though it only covers vaporetti (water buses), not Alilaguna or water taxis. I lived in Venice for three years, and this app was created by locals; you can even select Venetian as the language. It provides real time schedules for all vaporetto lines at every stop in Venice and the lagoon, showing exactly how long until the next boat arrives at your stop. It’s essential for a holiday in Venice. Feel free to message me if you need any more information.
