[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Venice\u2019s vaporetto (the name of water-buses in Italian) line 3 ACTV is the most practical and rapid public means of transport to get to Murano island<\/strong>. This line is widely used by both tourists and workers<\/strong> who need to reach Murano quickly.<\/p>\n In this article you will find suggestions on how to get to Murano; information on timetables, ferry stops and attractions that you will find near the vaporetto Line 3 ACTV stops. Venice vaporetto Line 3 ACTV connects Venice to Murano Island directly<\/strong>. The vaporetto Line 3 is very practical for tourists as it reaches Murano in about 20 minutes<\/strong>, depending on the part of Murano you choose to stop at.<\/p>\n The itinerary of Line 3 is circular<\/strong>, which means that the vaporetto navigates around Murano and comes back to the starting stop (Piazzale Roma). The entire trip from start to finish is about one hour long<\/strong>.<\/p>\n At every stop in Murano it is possible to hop off and explore a variety of artisanal shops and glass factories that organize glass blowing demonstrations. In Murano you can also visit the Glass Museum and historic buildings.<\/p>\n Later in this article you will find a more detailed list of points of interests located all around Murano.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”15410″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Vaporetto line 3 cruises around Murano and stops at the most important locations of the island.<\/p>\n Please note that the busiest stops (usually those closest to the main attractions) have more than one platform, and all are located close to one another.

Venice vaporetto line 3 ACTV is active daily during the daytime<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In Venice timetables of vaporettos are subject to change and seasonal variation. Generally the vaporetto Line 3 operates every day of the week from 8:20 am to 6 pm.<\/strong> Venice\u2019s vaporetto line 3 runs at intervals of about 20 to 30 minutes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n In case you decide to stay in Murano during the evening<\/strong> until after the last daytime trip of Line 3, you can get back to Venice with two other vaporetto lines which are almost equivalent to it.<\/p>\n Vaporetto line 3 ACTV finishes its service at 6 pm, and after that there are no ferry boats available for this route until 8:45 pm.<\/p>\n From 8:45 you can take line 4.2 which travels from Murano towards Fondamenta Nove and then to the bus station Piazzale Roma. If you want to return to Venice from Murano later in the evening or at night<\/strong>, the only available vaporetto is the nighttime Line NMU, whose route is very similar to that of line 3. Line NMU is in service from about 11:45 pm to 4:15 am.<\/strong><\/p>\n From Fondamenta Nove, the bus station (Piazzale Roma) and train station are about 30 minutes away by foot. An alternative to walking is taking a venetian water taxi.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”15415″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Venice vaporetto line 3 is a very popular, touristic line to visit Murano.

To ride them, you’ll need a single-fare ticket (good for 75 minutes), all-day or multi-day ticket (available up to 7 days)<\/p>\n ACTV vaporetto tickets allow unlimited travel<\/strong> on public water during the validity period of the ticket<\/strong> you purchased.<\/p>\n In the following paragraph we’ll look at fare prices, the difference among the travel passes and where it is more convenient to buy them.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Based on your period of stay in Venice, you can choose among a variety of tickets sold by the public transit agency ACTV<\/a>. In order to save some money, we suggest you organize your schedule to make the most efficient use of your vaporetto tickets.<\/p>\n Vaporetto tickets available are valid for 75 minutes, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days or 7 days<\/strong> at the following prices:<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1666161755452{background-color: #a51d1f !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”15033″ img_size=”300×300″ onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/www.venezia-help.com\/ext\/line-3-skip-the-line-ticket-1-to-7-days_en-3″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Here you can buy your vaporetto tickets commission free!<\/span> Visiting Murano necessarily includes two trips by vaporetto<\/strong> during the day: one to get to the island and one to get back. Overall the island can be visited thoroughly by foot and all the main attractions are at walking distance.<\/p>\n So, if you plan on taking the public water-bus only to visit the island of Murano during your trip, and discover the old town of Venice by foot, then two single-fare tickets valid for 75 minutes are the most economical option.<\/p>\n However, if you will stay in Venice for more than one day, then you should opt for either a daily or multi-day pass. This option would be the most convenient especially if you plan on visiting more than one island or move around the city by boat.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Here are some reductions available for vaporetto Line 3 ACTV:<\/p>\n After purchase the vaporetto line 3 ACTVtickets are not refundable and cannot be exchanged<\/strong>.<\/em> [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”15960″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Vaporetto line 3 ACTV tickets are available both online and at the box offices located next to the vaporetto platforms in Venice. Many websites online allow you to purchase your vaporetto tickets directly on your smartphone,<\/strong> so you can skip the long queues<\/strong> in front of the box offices and go to the vaporetto platforms straight away. The opportunity to buy tickets online can prove very useful even once in Venice. Tourists often risk missing their water-bus because of the long lines at the box offices or find themselves at stops that do not have a ticket office.<\/p>\n For this reason buying online is practical. Moreover, you’ll have your tickets on your phone, so you won’t risk losing or demagnetizing them by accident<\/strong>.<\/p>\n By purchasing your vaporetto line 3 tickets online you can keep your passes on your mobile or use the PNR code on the voucher to pick up your physical ticket at the machines displaying the Venezia Unica logo.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1666161755452{background-color: #a51d1f !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”15033″ img_size=”300×300″ onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/www.venezia-help.com\/ext\/line-3-skip-the-line-ticket-1-to-7-days_en-4″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Here you can buy your vaporetto tickets commission free! You can buy vaporetto tickets in person at the ticket offices in Venice (usually located next to the platforms) or in authorized retailers in the old town (recognizable by the ACTV logo)<\/p>\n Buying tickets at the box offices can be useful to ask for directions and information,<\/strong> however some sellers might not speak English<\/strong>. ACTV ticket offices in Venice are small box-offices located outdoors<\/strong>, and of course can have very long queues of tourists waiting in front of them. Visiting Venice during fall or winter, you are likely to face the very typical phenomenon of high tide. In order to be fully prepared and equipped, we suggest checking the tidal flow<\/a>. From October to March, fog covering the canals is also very frequent. Only when visibility is under 70 meters<\/strong>, services for vaporetto line 3 are suspended until visibility improves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Taking into consideration these highly likely scenarios, our suggestion is to organize a flexible itinerary including a number of alternative destinations in case of bad weather and high tide.<\/p>\n Lastly, please note that the vporetto line 3 is completely accessible to wheelchair users and strollers<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vaporetto Line 3 connects Venice with the island of Murano.

\nThe water-bus starts its route at the stop by the bus station (Piazzale Roma), stops at the railway station (Ferrovia) and heads towards Murano.
\nThis line reaches Murano quickly since it avoids longer routes across the venetian historic center. Other lines such as line 1<\/a>, 2<\/a>, 4.1<\/a> and 4.2<\/a> are ideal for sightseeing instead.<\/p>\nVaporetto Line 3 ACTV route and stops<\/h2>\n
