Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) has bus connections to Venezia Mestre railway station and Venice Piazzale Roma, but the airport’s transport information does not name Rosolina as a destination.
For a trip to Hotel Sole, check whether a service runs through to Rosolina or whether your route requires a connection; the airport is about 133 minutes by car from the hotel.

- Ticket starting point: Venezia Unica airport bus-transfer tickets start at €10 one way.
Check whether a shuttle serves Rosolina
The airport does not identify Rosolina as a direct shuttle destination. Its bus connections serve Mestre and Venice, and a direct FS Busitalia service goes to Padua, with continuation to Abano and Montegrotto. Confirm the complete route to Rosolina before you travel.
Airport buses stop in the second lane outside arrivals. ACTV line 15 and an ATVO express bus connect the airport with Venezia Mestre station; ACTV line 5 and the ATVO express bus serve Piazzale Roma. These are airport connections, not confirmation of a through service to Rosolina.
For another point of comparison, Venice Marco Polo Airport taxi to Rosolina covers the taxi option.
How do you connect from the airport towards Rosolina?
A connection through Mestre is one route to investigate, but you’ll need to confirm the onward service and interchange for your travel day. Arriva Veneto regional bus line 85 connects Marco Polo Airport, Mestre, Venezia Mestre railway station, Chioggia and Sottomarina. Line 80 connects Venice and Venezia Mestre railway station with Chioggia and Sottomarina.
The airport also identifies FS Busitalia as providing a direct connection to Padua, with continuation to Abano and Montegrotto. That is a separate route to check against your destination; it does not establish a connection to Rosolina.
For the Mestre connection, the airport says the bus stop is in front of Venezia Mestre station at the Centro exit. If your route instead uses Piazzale Roma and you need Venezia Santa Lucia station, the airport says you can walk between them in about 10 minutes across Ponte della Costituzione.
Plan the onward journey to the hotel
Before booking, check the whole journey to Rosolina, including any final bus or other transfer after the airport connection. The named regional services reach Chioggia and Sottomarina, but that alone does not confirm how to complete the trip to Rosolina.
Hotel Sole is in Rosolina, so use the hotel’s location as your endpoint when checking which stop and onward connection suit your booking. If you’re also planning time in the area, Rosolina and Po Delta day trips covers local outings.
Allow time for airport and interchange connections
Regional bus timetables can differ by day of the week. Arriva Veneto publishes separate Monday-to-Friday, Saturday, and Sunday-and-public-holiday timetables for its regional bus lines 80, 85 and 87. Check the timetable for your travel day, and leave enough time between the airport bus and your onward service.
When comparing airport buses, note which stop each service uses: Mestre station and Piazzale Roma are different endpoints. If you need to change stations or services, verify the connection rather than assuming an airport bus continues to your final destination.
What should you confirm before travelling?
Confirm the service, departure day, interchange and ticket conditions for your entire journey. Venezia Unica airport bus-transfer tickets start at €10 one way and €18 for a return ticket covering two bus journeys. These are airport bus-transfer ticket prices, not a confirmed fare for a complete trip to Rosolina.
Check the relevant operator’s timetable and ticket rules before you set out. Service patterns and fares can vary, so check the official site before you go.
