Venice  Water  Bus  Vaporetto  Map​

By Dion Protani
Latest update: 10 September 2023
The Venice Water Bus Vaporetto Map can seem a little daunting at first with its multi-coloured lines and routes named with a combination of numbers and letters. It does get easier though, and by the time you finish your trip to Venice you'll be travelling around like a local. 

​Vaporetto is the colloquial term for the water buses which are by far the cheapest and most effective way to explore the city.
​
Not only can you easily reach all of the main sights around the central island of Venice, but you can access the must-see islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello, or even make your way to the mainland at Chioggia or Punta Sabbioni.
