Has anyone out there recently used the Venice Card? I checked the Venice Connected site (beta) and could not figure out how to properly use it. I arrive on May 1 and leave May 4 (morning) and want to purchase the card (for two people) to be able to economically access the transportation, museums, and toilets in Venice. I'll be arriving in afternoon of the 1st. I can't see on the website where I can purchase for two people or be able to use the museum pass for more than 1 day. I had heard that there was a pass that combined the transportation, museums, and toilets into one card but couldn't find it on web site. Any suggestions? Lisa

Do not purchase pass for toilets. Not worth it.

I was also looking at this card and the Rolling Venice Card. Does anyone know if either of these can be purchased at the Venezia S Lucia train station?

The museums and restaurants have toilets, you probably won't use a public toilet once.
The vaporetto pass is usually a savings, because the individual trips are pretty expensive. And it's lovely to grab (or work your way to) a front seat and just enjoy the "cruise."
If you enjoy museums a lot, one of the museum passes may be good for you.
If you purchase in advance on the Venice Connected site, you will save money on the passes.

For just 3 days, I'm not sure you would save that much compared to just getting the vaporetto pass. If you want to see many of the museums, you're often better off reserving tickets before you go and printing out the reciepts which allows you to bypass the lines anyways. The vaporetto pass you could get for 3 days and travel entirely around Venice and the surrounding islands w/ just swishing your card. As for bathrooms, just make sure you go in every museum you visit and every place you eat. The museum bathrooms are the best anyway.
