Water taxis at Venice train station?

We reserved our water taxi in advance online. It took a few minutes to locate the taxis. So give yourself a buffer after your flight lands. I will try to find the email address for you.

I've never seen the taxi area empty.

The vaporettos are pretty much constant too... except in the middle of the night

Thanks Judy. We’re actually traveling in by train, so I wasn’t sure if they wait there for passengers.

Nigel, we mean at the train station, correct?

I am speaking about the area just in front of and to either side of the train station Santa Lucia - known as the vaporetto stop Ferrovia.

If you look on Google maps, satellite view, and “walk” the area using street view, you will see a marked taxi stand just to the left of the “A” vaporetto dock. Turn left after you descend the station steps, after you pause and enjoy the view, and walk past the B and A vaporetto docks. Looks like there is a dispatcher there as well as waiting taxis.

Maybe this will show it:

Use the first link to “walk” the area past all four vaporetto docks to the taxi stand. The second one shows the actual site.

Thanks Lola!
