I think that in most cases it doesn't justify from a cost point of view. But it is indeed convenient, once it may save you precious time in queues. <BR><BR>From a cost standpoint, it'll depend on the answers of the following questions:<BR><BR>How long are you staying?<BR>Would you get a vaporetto pass for all your stay, or would you rather mostly walk and only do selective vaporetto rides?<BR>How many times you feel you'll need a public restroom each day?<BR>Which museums you intend to visit in Venice?

Please explain this card for those of us who do not know what it is. From the first response it sounds like a combination museum/transportation/restroom card. Is that what it is? How long does it last and where do you buy it?<BR><BR>Thanks

Is this the same thing as the Rolling Venice Card? Or something different? I'd also like to know about it.

http://www.venicecard.it/<BR>The site is in Italian ... cry for help if you need :-)<BR><BR>Yes, it's a combination card. One has the choice of transportation/restroom, with or without free entry to a range of museums. Cards are issued for 1, 3 or 7 days, for seniors or juniors (under 29). One may add the Alilaguna Line round trip between Piazza San Marco and the Airport or parking at the San Giuliano lot at a discount on normal rates.
