By purchasing your vaporetto line 2 tickets from online websites, <\/strong>you can download them directly on your smartphone<\/strong>, so you can skip the long queues in front of the box offices and go to the vaporetto platforms straight away.<\/p>\n You can buy your vaporetto line 2 tickets ahead of time<\/strong>, because their validity is calculated upon the first validation<\/strong>. You\u2019ll have your tickets on your phone, and won\u2019t risk losing or demagnetizing them by accident<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The possibility of buying tickets online tends to be very useful even when you’re alrealy discovering the city. Tourists often risk missing their water-bus because of the long lines at the box offices or find themselves at stops with no ticket stands.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Buy your vaporetto line 2 ticket here<\/a><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n You can buy Venice vaporetto line 2 tickets in person at the ticket offices <\/strong>(usually located next to the platforms) or in authorized retailers in the old town<\/strong> (recognizable by the ACTV logo). Buying tickets from a physical vendor can be useful if you need to ask for directions and information<\/strong>, however be aware that some sellers might not speak English<\/strong>.<\/p>\n ACTV ticket offices in Venice are\u00a0 located outdoors<\/strong>, and especially during high season can have very long queues of tourists waiting<\/strong> in front of them. For these reasons, for the same price, buying tickets online tends to be more cost-effective.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Clearly the convenience<\/strong> of each vaporetto ticket depends on some variables<\/strong> such as your itinerary, period of stay and frequency of use<\/strong> of public tranport.<\/p>\n If you plan on walking to discover the venetian historic center, and use public transports to reach only the more distant areas of Venice (depending on where you are), then a 75 minutes ticket for each travel should be the most cost-effective choice.<\/p>\n On the contrary, if you’ll stay in Venice for a couple of days and perhaps you decide to pay a visit to the islands of the Venetian archipelago, then you will probably take the water bus multiple times. In this case if you use public transport at least three times during the day, then you should consider purchasing either a daily or multi-day pass.<\/p>\n Our suggestion is to consider <\/strong>the distance of your destinations and decide how to reach them <\/strong>ahead of time<\/strong> in order to choose the most suitable ticket for your needs<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1466609917108{background-color: #a51d1f !important;}” el_class=”offerte”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”15033″ img_size=”300×320″ onclick=”custom_link” link=”https:\/\/www.venezia-help.com\/ext\/line-2-skip-the-line-ticket-1-to-7-days_en-4″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Here you can buy your vaporetto tickets commission free! 75′: 9.50\u20ac; 1 day: 25\u20ac; 2 days: 35\u20ac; 3 days: 45\u20ac; 7 days: 65\u20ac[\/vc_column_text] Here are some reductions available for vaporetto Line 2 ACTV:<\/p>\n Vaporetto line 2 ACTV tickets are not refundable and cannot be exchanged.<\/em> [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”16066″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n If you plan on visiting Venice during fall or winter, you are likely to face the very typical phenomenon of high tide<\/strong>. In order to be fully prepared and equipped, we suggest checking the tidal flow<\/a> since the vaporetto routes can sometimes vary depending on the water level.<\/p>\n If water reaches 95 cm, the vaporetto line 2 service undergoes some temporary variations. From October to March, fog<\/strong> covering the canals is also very frequent.<\/strong> Whenever visibility is lower than 150 meters, the itinerary of vaporetto line 2 could be modified. <\/strong>For up-to-date information we suggest checking the official ACTV site<\/a> since measure may vary.<\/p>\n These phenomena occur yearly, therefore 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 2 is completely accessible to wheelchair users and strollers<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vaporetto line 2 travels along the Grand Canal through the historic center of Venice.
