Stop:
ARSENALE (Second stop past S.Marco).
N:1
is the most traditional way to approach the old center
and its treasures. It carries you along the Grand Canal...wonderful
and slow (1 hour's time to reach the Arsenale stop:
it is normally considered to be worth the time you
spend on it).
N.41 is faster (35 minutes)- its way to Arsenale is through the Giudecca Canal.
| Arriving by car |
Not particularly
advisable: you will never drive a car in Venice and
it will cost you good money to park it.
Anyway, there are two parking lots, at the end of the bridge connecting Venice
to the mainland: Garage S.Marco in Piazzale Roma, and Tronchetto ( this one
is a bit less expensive,but farer).
Here are the references:
Tronchetto

| Arriving by plain |
Airport: Marco Polo
There is
a hydrofoil shuttle- RED LINE- straight from the airport
to the Arsenale.
www.alilaguna.com
It starts at the 10th and 40th minute, every hour. ( approx.1 hour's time to
the Arsenale).
Please note: you should consider to reach the apartment 2 hours later then the time of your landing, considering the baggage claim and so on...)
Airport: Treviso Canova
There are essentially two low-cost airlines landing in Treviso : Ryanair and Transavia. For both a dedicated bus service is arranged, so one can reach Venezia-Piazzale Roma in one hour's time. From Piazzale Roma, boat n° 1 direction Lido, stop Arsenale ( aprox. 50 minutes). So one should estimate from 2 hours to 2 hours and half from the time of the landing in Treviso to the time one actually gets to the apartment.

Please note: restaurants, pizzas, bars tend to close early in Venice. So you will not find anything open after getting to the apartment- and even in Piazzale Roma it might be difficult to find some refreshment. So we would advise to buy something at the airport, before taking the bus
| From the "ARSENALE" boat stop to the apartment ( Castello 4003) |
Reaching Grandiben from the boat stop is an easy and short way ( 5 minutes): this favourable condition shouldn't be overlooked, as many other accomodations are 10 to 20 minutes off the nearest boat stop
