Pier Information. The ship is scheduled to dock at either San Basilio or the Marittima Station. Either one is about 20 to 30 minutes by vapoertto to St. Mark's Square. Vaporetti are inexpensive water taxis that travel to some of the major attractions, especially along the Grand Canal. You first buy a ticket at the ticket booth, stating your destination.

Other Sights
 Gondola Ride. This is doubtless the most romantic, but also a rather expensive, way to experience Venice’s unique ambiance. Be sure to establish the price and your route before leaving the pier. Gondola rides are popular in the daytime as well as in the evening, especially when accompanied by the favorite tunes of a local tenor.
 The Lido. Vaporetti connect this fashionable seaside beach resort with Venice. The island has one of Italy’s best 18-hole golf courses. Getting to Lido only gets you to the island. The beach is blocks farther.
 Murano, Burano and Torcello. This area is mainly famous as the home of Venice’s glass-blowing industry. Regular boat service connects the island of Murano to Venice. From Murano one can continue to Burano and Torcello, known for their particular charm, skilled lace-making and medieval monuments. The selection of glass is best on Murano, and the trip there is scenic and fun.
 Internet Connection. Internet facilities can be found at the Net House located at Calle delle Botteghe, near Campo Santo Stefano.
Golf. Golf Club Cansigilio. The Lido boasts one of Italy’s best 18-hole golf courses. Ask on board.
