The Venice International Film Festival is held on the Lido each late summer. Venice has no roads, so the last leg of every journey is by water, which changes how arrivals have to be planned.
A greeter meets you at Marco Polo Airport, a driver takes you to the water-taxi pier, and your hotel is told when to expect you. The simplest approach is to agree every handover in advance, including luggage, so nothing is left to the quayside.
Start with our airport meet & greet and request a custom quote for the connection to the Lido.
Planning tips
- Confirm the dates with the organiser. We list typical timing, not a fixed edition, for this event.
- Travel light where you can. Luggage across bridges and piers is time-consuming.
- Tell your hotel your arrival time so a porter or boat is ready.
