From Venice Lido, head to the nearest Vaporetto (water bus) stop. The most convenient stop is 'Lido' which is located near the main beach area. Purchase a Vaporetto ticket to Venice (the price is approximately €7.50 for a single trip). Board the Vaporetto number 1 or number 2 heading towards 'San Marco' or 'Piazza San Marco'. After about 20-25 minutes, disembark at the 'Giardini' stop. Once you get off the Vaporetto, follow the signs towards 'Giardini della Biennale', which is just a 5-minute walk away. You will see the entrance gate to the gardens ahead.

Purchase a Vaporetto ticket (approximately €7.50 for a single trip) and board the Vaporetto number 1 or number 2 heading towards 'Giardini'.

If you prefer to cycle, you can rent a bicycle from one of the rental shops on Venice Lido. Once you have your bike, head towards the main roads leading to the Vaporetto terminal.

After disembarking, follow the signs to 'Giardini della Biennale', which is a 5-minute walk away. Note that cycling is not allowed in the historic center of Venice, so you must use the Vaporetto to reach the Giardini.
