Quick question, but one that the websites haven't answered...
Does anyone know if the 7-day Venice travel card is good for 7 calendar days? Or is it good for 168 hours? It makes a difference, given a 7-day rental!
Thanks, Kyle

168 hours from the time you first validate it at a machine just before entering the Vaparetto wharf. You must validate it before every boarding (in fact every time before you enter the wharf to board).

Thanks! That's a big help. We arrive in the afternoon, leave in the morning...so 168 hours should cover it.

I love that pass! Great for taking an evening "cruise" down the Canal, or for just hopping on (after validating) when you get tired of walking all the little bridges.

Zoe's right. The passes are the best buy in Venice. Gelato's next :-)

As a side-note, it appears that the cost of an individual vaporetto tickets will rise by € .50 effective July 1st. More information on this TA thread.

Another reminder that it is much harder to be pickpocketed if you properly use a money belt.
