About Venice

Venice is a city built for children to explore by water, where the lagoon itself becomes the playground and every vaporetto ride feels like an adventure. Families can hop on and off the islands at their own pace with the ACTV Vaporetto Pass: 1-7 Days for Venice & Mainland - Explore the Lagoon Freely, or spend a relaxed half-day on the water with the Venice: Private Murano & Burano Boat Tour with Hotel Pickup, which keeps the logistics simple for parents travelling with kids.
