Venedig live erleben: Bilder der Stadt rund um die Uhr In jeder Saison löst Venedig – die Stadt der Dogen, der Kanäle und der Gondeln sowie die Stadt von Vivaldi, Marco Polo und Giacomo Casanova - unendliche Bewunderung aus.

On April 1st 2011, new rules entered into effect regarding the validation of all electronic ACTV transport passes such as the time based Tourist Travel Cards purchased through the //venice>connected site. It is compulsory to revalidate your ticket every time you board an ACTV water bus or a bus, independently of the time period of validity remaining on the pass. Turnstiles are being installed at a number of the more trafficked boat loading docks (Lido, San Marco Giardinetti, Pietà and Burano) requiring you to swipe before the turnstile allows you to pass, and all tickets must be validated before any boarding. Anyone caught without a re-validated ticket will be fined 6 euros (plus an administrative fee). These measures will further reduce the presence of "freeloaders" that ride without valid tickets, and to collect complete data to better organize the services. //venice>connected team
