Venice

Venice's canals and hidden squares are best explored on foot; Haqqi Tours books boat tours and transfers there for families via WhatsApp.

Venice spreads across a lagoon of small islands linked by footbridges, with narrow canals standing in for streets and gondolas gliding past centuries old palaces. The city has no cars, so a Gulf family moves everywhere on foot or by boat, and the surrounding lagoon opens toward the Italian mainland and onward toward the Alps once a family is ready to continue its trip.

Two onward journeys are booked from this page, the Venice to Salzburg train heading north into Austria and the Venice to Florence train continuing south into Italy. Our WhatsApp desk handles either ticket, checking seat availability first and setting a fixed price in writing, replying in Arabic or English at every step before the family leaves Venice.

Getting to Venice: the airports

Venice Marco Polo (VCE) is on the mainland about 13 km north of the lagoon; cars reach Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto, the last points on wheels, and the Mestre hotels directly.

Treviso Airport (TSF), the low-cost airport for Venice, is about 30 km north of Piazzale Roma - 40 minutes by road - with one small terminal.

Venice Marco Polo (VCE) is on the mainland about 13 km north of the lagoon; cars reach Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto, the last points on wheels, and the Mestre hotels directly.

The ATVO and ACTV buses reach Piazzale Roma in about 25 minutes, and the Alilaguna boat goes directly to San Marco but slowly; a car to Piazzale Roma with the driver helping the bags to the vaporetto or water taxi is the calm way in, and for Mestre hotels or Treviso it is the only sensible one.

Where to stay in Venice

The areas travellers ask us about most: San Marco, Cannaregio, Dorsoduro, Castello, the Lido and Mestre and Marghera on the mainland.

The choice of area changes the drive from the airport and the order of a day tour, not the price of either; send the hotel name on WhatsApp and the desk plans around it.

What to see in Venice

The places most visitors come for: the Lido beaches, the Biennale gardens in season, St Mark's Square and the Basilica, the Doge's Palace and the Bridge of Sighs, the Rialto Bridge and market, a gondola through the small canals and the Grand Canal by vaporetto.

Our day tours cover most of them with a guide and a vehicle; the pages of Grand Canal Motorboat Sightseeing Cruise Venice, Venice Canals Guided Kayak Tour by Day, Sunset or Night and Murano & Burano Islands Boat Tour from Venice say exactly what each includes.

What to eat in Venice

Worth trying: baccalà mantecato, cicchetti and a spritz at a bacaro, sarde in saor, risotto al nero di seppia and fritto misto by the Rialto. Ask the driver or guide where they eat themselves; halal options and family restaurants are easy to find, and the desk suggests places near your hotel if you land late.

When to go

Carnival in February, the Biennale from May, and the summer months are busiest, with high water (acqua alta) possible in late autumn; the Ponte della Libertà causeway is slow on summer weekend mornings.

Good to know before you arrive

Tell us whether your hotel is on the islands (we drop at Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto and can pre-book a water taxi) or in Mestre and the mainland, where the car goes to the door.

Our WhatsApp desk answers day and night in Arabic and English, confirms each booking in writing and stays reachable for the whole trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.

What time of year is most pleasant for walking Venice before an onward train

Cooler months keep the bridges and squares less crowded for walking with children, while summer mornings before the day warms up remain the easiest time to cross the city on foot toward the station.

How does booking Venice to Florence Train Tickets work with the WhatsApp desk

The family sends the preferred date, and our coordinator checks seats before replying with a fixed written price in Arabic or English, issuing the ticket once the family agrees to the booking.

Which stations in Venice do the Salzburg and Florence trains depart from

Both listed routes depart from Venice's mainland station, and our desk shares the exact platform and boarding details in writing once the ticket is confirmed, so the family knows where to go in advance.

What can I book in Venice with Haqqi Tours?

Day tours, attraction tickets, private airport transfers, flight tickets, train tickets and ferry tickets, including Grand Canal Motorboat Sightseeing Cruise Venice, Venice Canals Guided Kayak Tour by Day, Sunset or Night and Murano & Burano Islands Boat Tour from Venice. Each has its own page, and the WhatsApp desk combines any of them into one plan with one written price.

How do I get from the airport to my hotel in Venice?

Venice Marco Polo (VCE) is on the mainland about 13 km north of the lagoon; cars reach Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto, the last points on wheels, and the Mestre hotels directly. Our private transfer meets you at arrivals with a name board, tracks your flight and takes you door to door at a fixed price for the whole vehicle; the transfer pages list every route.

Is there public transport from the airport to Venice?

The ATVO and ACTV buses reach Piazzale Roma in about 25 minutes, and the Alilaguna boat goes directly to San Marco but slowly; a car to Piazzale Roma with the driver helping the bags to the vaporetto or water taxi is the calm way in, and for Mestre hotels or Treviso it is the only sensible one. With luggage, a family or a late flight, the private car is the simpler choice.

Which tours are available in Venice?

Currently 6: Grand Canal Motorboat Sightseeing Cruise Venice, Venice Canals Guided Kayak Tour by Day, Sunset or Night, Murano & Burano Islands Boat Tour from Venice, Doge's Palace & St Mark's Basilica Guided Tour and Grand Canal Shared Gondola Ride with Commentary. Each page says whether the day is private or small-group, what it includes and how long it lasts.

Are the tours private or in a group?

Both exist, and each tour page says which. A private tour has a vehicle and guide for your party alone; the desk can make most group tours private on request.

How many days do I need in Venice?

Two to three days cover the Lido beaches, the Biennale gardens in season and St Mark's Square and the Basilica at an easy pace; more if you add a day trip. The desk builds the day-by-day plan around your dates.

When is the best time to visit Venice?

Carnival in February, the Biennale from May, and the summer months are busiest, with high water (acqua alta) possible in late autumn; the Ponte della Libertà causeway is slow on summer weekend mornings.

Where should I stay in Venice?

The areas guests choose most are Dorsoduro, Castello, the Lido and Mestre and Marghera on the mainland. The airport transfer and the tours go to any of them at the same price.

How do I book?

Fill in the form on any page or message us on WhatsApp with the date, the number of travellers and the hotel. A member of our team confirms the price and the details in writing within minutes.
