How to reach “Palazzo Franchetti” (see map)

Palazzo Franchetti  is located in Campo S. Stefano near Piazza San Marco (see picture below), one of the most noteworthy buildings in Venice, right next to the “Palazzo Loredan”..

For those arriving by plane at Marco Polo Airport which is located about 13 km from Venice the easiest way to reach Venice is by sea.

ALILAGUNA is a public water taxi company which offers a service (the Lancione) that goes from the airport  to "Calle  Vallaresso", near Piazza San Marco,  which is at a walking distance from Palazzo Franchetti. The crossing takes abt. 1 hour 10 minutes. The Lancione connects more or less with all flights. The ticket for this boat (Lancione) costs Euros 12,00 and can be purchased at the ALILAGUNA taxi stand at the end of the arrival hall (opening hours: from 8 am to 12 pm). For the timetable, please, have a look at: www.alilaguna.it.

You can also take a private water taxi from the airport directly to your final destination (the cost is abt. Euros 90,00/100,00).

From the airport you can also take a public Bus (ATVO) (the cost is Euros 5,00 and it travels abt. every 30 minutes)  or a land taxi to Piazzale Roma (the cost is abt. Euros 30,00) and from there catch a public boat (Vaporetto) to the stop closest to your final destination (see details in the next paragraph).

For those arriving by train at the Railway Station or by car at the parking garage at Piazzale Roma there are several possibilities. To go directly to Palazzo Franchetti" one can take the Vaporetto, Line 1 or Line 82 (every 10 minutes from 7:00 until 21:00; every 20/30 minutes afterwards) to the stop Accademia. From there one has to cross the "Ponte dell'Accademia" and walk more or less directly to Campo S. Stefano. You can also take a private water taxi from the Railway Station to your final destination (the cost is abt. Euros 70,00).
