About Venice (Fusina), Italy

Fusina is an industrial lagoon terminal on the mainland southwest of Venice. Venice’s historic islands, canals, Piazza San Marco, and neighborhood churches require an onward transfer by water or road connections. The terminal has a functional rather than sightseeing role, so distance and transport arrangements should be considered when planning time in the city.
