Getting there

Public Transportation

If you are in Venice Lido, walk to the nearest Vaporetto (water bus) stop, which is likely 'Lido' or 'Santa Maria Elisabetta'.

Look for the famous exterior with outdoor seating.

Car

If you are driving, park your car at the Lido parking area. From there, you can either walk to the Vaporetto stop or take a taxi to 'Santa Maria Elisabetta'. From 'Santa Maria Elisabetta', take the Vaporetto Line 1 or Line 2 to 'San Marco'. After arriving at the 'San Marco' stop, walk towards P.za San Marco, where Caffè Florian is located. Please note that vehicles are not allowed in the inner city of Venice, so you will need to use public transport.

Walking

If you are already in Venice Lido, locate the nearest Vaporetto station, then proceed to the 'San Marco' stop as described in the public transportation section. After disembarking, follow the crowd towards the iconic St. Mark's Square. Caffè Florian is situated directly on the square, easily recognizable by its elegant façade and outdoor seating area.
