10 best hotels near Venice Airport

Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) is probably one of the easiest-to-reach airports in Italy. 

Connected by train, bus, boat and taxi, making your flight on time shouldn’t be an issue. 

But having an early morning, or late evening, flight could be another matter. And rather than risk being stranded or having to wait for a taxi, there is another solution. 

In this post, I’ll be listing 10 of the best hotels near Venice Airport to book.

Ranked by location and price, you can use this guide to help plan your Venice Italy trip. 

Why visit Venice? 

A popular destination for any Italy bucket list, Venice is one of the best places to visit in Italy. 

The island city is the ideal location in which you can get lost in its streets without really getting lost. Every nook and tight corner eventually lead to a Venice attraction or landmark. 

Surrounding the city are other islands on which you can experience another side of Venice. Murano, Burano, Torcello and Lido di Venezia are a few to name, not forgetting nearby places that make ideal Venice day trips. 

In short, Venice ranks highly on many travelers’ lists and for very good reason.
