Vaporetto Prices
 
Do I buy a ticket for my 6yr old?? I plan on buying the Rolling Venice tickets for the teenagers to get the great discount on the 3 day Vaporetto tickets. But I couldn't find prices for her (Rolling Card for 14 thru 29 years)
Also is their a difference between Venice card and the 3 day transportation tickets??
From what I've read there is no difference between the 3 day pass and the 72 hour ticket-correct??
Thanks for the help!

Ok this is what I've come up with....
I'll be buying 2 ACTV passes for my husband and myself for 25,00 euros each. These are valid for 72 hours after they are first validated.
For the two kids ages 14 and 16yrs- I plan to purchase a Rolling Venice card for 4 euros (valid for ages 14 thru 29 yrs). I'll then buy two more ACTV tickets for a discounted price of 15,00 euros.
I'm still not sure which ticket to get for my 6 yr old??
Does anyone know what ticket I should purchase for her??
Thanks

Vino - The ATCV says only children under 4 travel free. But it also says Family tickets are available.

I couldn't find a reference to any Family Fares.

Also, where does one buy the Rolling Venice card? Can one buy one at the train station?

I wonder if they got rid of the family pass and replaced it with the Rolling Card??
Missypie- I believe you can buy the rolling cards at most major ticket booths. I'm hoping that include S. Lucia!

72 hour ACTV tickets, 3 day (work the same as a 72 hour) Venice Cards and Rolling Venice passes are all available at S.Lucia vaporetto stop which is right outside the station - as well most of the other major vaporetto stops (Piazzale Roma, San Zaccaria) & the airport. You can buy a 72 hour ACTV pass from any window, for the others just look for the ticket window with the Venice Card sign.
