How to spend less

If you take more than one ride a day, consider the ACTV 24/48/72-hour pass instead of single tickets.
Buy the ticket online or at authorised sales points before boarding: on-board payment is not always possible.
Check whether your accommodation offers ACTV discounts or deals for guests.
For very short island hops, walking may be an option if time allows: you save and see more.
Check the vaporetto timetable: missing a boat by a few minutes means buying another ticket.

Frequently asked questions

Does Venice vaporetto ticket always cost EUR 9.50?

No. EUR 9.50 is the ordinary or most quotable figure within the source's scope. Exemptions, concessions, ticket duration or outside services can move the cost.

Why not use a broader average?

Because an average that mixes cities, channels or user profiles looks precise but does not help anyone pay the right price. We publish the verified price list and state where it does not apply.

When should this price be checked again?

The next review is scheduled for 2026-10-23. Public and operator prices can change through resolutions or price-list updates, so they should not be treated as permanent.

Sources and methodology

How we worked it out

The EUR 9.50 is the price of the single vaporetto ticket valid for 75 minutes published by ACTV in Venice. It is one of the highest single-ride fares in Italy, reflecting the waterborne service. Tourist passes for 24/48/72 hours are excluded because they are a different product.

Why this confidence level

Confidence is High because the figure comes from the official operator with authority level 4/5. The less certain part is not the number itself, but how a reader uses it: exemptions, concessions and private channels can change the final bill.
