At VCE duty duty-free shopping is a reflection of what Venice has to offer; we present to travellers a mix of international luxury brands and local Italian talent.

For those travelling outside the EU duty duty-free shopping is also a great way to save on high-end products, which makes it at the same time practical and enjoyable.
Venice has put together an extraordinary transport network, which is a result of the city’s lagoon setting. We have a variety of transport options which will suit your particular needs. Alilaguna Water Buses leave right from the airport terminal and go to main points in the lagoon, such as San Marco, Murano, and Rialto are very special ways to get into the city. ATVO Buses and ACTV Coaches give you the choice of getting to Piazzale Roma, Mestre, and also out to the nearby towns. Taxis and private cars will take you directly to your hotel on the mainland, and water taxis will bring you right into the canals. Also, car rental is made available to those going to Verona, Padua, the Dolomites, or other mainland destinations. So, with this wide range of transport choices, you can make your travel style fit your route, what you feel like doing and the time you have.
Use your time to shop in VCE’s duty-free stores, enjoy a great meal at Culto, or head to the Marco Polo Lounge. See aeroplane movement from the windows while you enjoy coffee at Briccocafé. The airport’s polished design makes it pleasant for casual strolling. For productivity, lounges provide workspaces and quiet corners. It’s a relaxed and convenient short-layover airport.
Into Piazzale Roma in Venice by ATVO coach or ACTV bus. Once there, do a short walk around or over into the historic Santa Croce district for gelato and canal views.
