Marco Polo (VCE) to Venice
Hi,
I'll be landing at VCE (Marco Polo airport) and would then need to arrive to either
- Sestiere San Polo - Riva de L Ogio
or
- Cannaregio
What would the suggested method of transport?
The airport website mentions a ferry, a shuttle bus (ACTV number 5), or a taxi.
Any estimates how much would a taxi cost from the AP to either destination?
Gracia mille

A water taxi would be around €100. The Alilaguna www.alilaguna.it is a ferry at €15 per person; you can see if it has a stop convenient to where you're going.

The bus to Piazzale Roma plus a vaporetto to your destination isn't that appealing to me, but it's an option. You'd want to consider whether you want a pass for the vaporetti for the duration of your stay, with a single ride costing €7.50. Fares listed at http://europeforvisitors.com/venice/...are-tables.htm , and that site should be useful for much of what you want to know about Venice.

Since I'm usually traveling as a family of 3 with luggage, the water taxi is a no-brainer for me.

Last summer I took a shared water taxi from the airport to the city center. It is surely a much cheaper choice than a regular taxi, which is actually very expensive,

It's been 10 years since I did this, but it sounds like not much has changed, as it's still the #5 bus. I walked out of the airport to the #5 bus stop (ask where if you can't find it) and then took the vaporetto a stop or two, but as my hotel was in Cannaregio, I could have walked about 10-15 minutes to get to it directly. I do recommend getting the vaporetto pass, as although you will walk a lot and go all over the place, the vaporetto is good for getting you to further away spots for more exploration. And the furthest away spots are often the best, given how congested Venice can be around San Marco particularly.
