Venice - Academia area
Hello,
I am about to book an apartment in the Academia (Vaporetto stop) area of Venice. We will arrive in Venice by train. Is this area far from the train station and from most tourist areas of Venice?
Thank you,

The area is 15 minutes walk from San Marco. Easy to get to, using a No 1 or No 2 vaporetto from the station. The No 2 vaporetto makes fewer stops down the Grand Canal, so is quicker. Both the No 1 and No 2 vaps stop at Accademia.

Nothing in central Venice is that far from the tourist areas. Depending on the location "near Academia" could also give you good access to the 4 and 5 boats that circle the perimeter of the island to stops along Fondamenta Zattere.
