How to move from Dolo to Venice?

Venice is a unique, fascinating and often crowded city. That’s why many travelers choose to stay nearby, enjoying the peace of the countryside without giving up the magic of the lagoon. If you are in Dolo or thinking of staying at Al Casale, you might be wondering: how to get from Dolo to Venice easily and conveniently?

The good news is that Dolo is perfectly connected to Venice thanks to a reliable and efficient public transportation network. Whether you prefer train, bus or car, getting around is easy — and pleasant.

One of the most practical ways to reach Venice from Dolo is by bus. The ACTV suburban route 53E connects Dolo directly to Piazzale Roma, the main access terminal to the city.

  • Nearest stop to Al Casale: Dolo Centro or Dolo Capolinea
  • Frequency: about every 20-30 minutes (both weekdays and holidays)
  • Travel time: about 35-40 minutes
  • Arrival: Piazzale Roma, from where you can continue on foot or by waterbus to various parts of the city

Tickets can be purchased at tobacconists, online or through the AVM Venice app. You can also choose daily solutions or carnets for those planning multiple trips.

Another convenient option is the train. Dolo has a train station that is well connected to the Venice-Padova line.

  • Departure station: Dolo (station located about 10 minutes’ drive from Al Casale)
  • Arrival: Venice Santa Lucia (station in the heart of the city, directly on the Grand Canal)
  • Duration: about 25-30 minutes
  • Frequency: regional trains every 30 to 60 minutes

It is the ideal solution if you want to get directly to the center of Venice, avoiding traffic and parking.

If you prefer to travel by car, you can reach Venice in about 30-40 minutes, depending on traffic. However, the historic center is not accessible to cars, so you will have to park in dedicated areas such as:

  • Piazzale Roma (closest to the center)
  • Tronchetto (cheaper and connected by vaporetto and People Mover)
  • Mestre (with cheaper parking and frequent connections)

Al Casale offers free parking with charging station for electric cars, so you can leave with no worries and no extra charge.
