Getting There

  • Walking

    If you are starting your journey from the Santa Croce area, head towards the Grand Canal. Walk towards the nearest vaporetto (water bus) stop, which is likely to be 'Ferrovia' or 'Piazzale Roma'. From there, take the vaporetto line 1 or line 2 towards 'San Marco' or 'Giudecca'. Get off at the stop 'San Stae'. After disembarking, walk towards the north along 'Salizada del Fontego dei Turchi'. The museum will be located at Salizada del Fontego dei Turchi, 1730, just a short walk from the vaporetto stop.

  • Vaporetto

    Another option is to take the vaporetto directly from Piazzale Roma. Catch line 1 or line 2 towards San Marco. Disembark at the 'San Stae' stop, which is the closest stop to the museum. Once you get off, walk north along 'Salizada del Fontego dei Turchi' to reach Museo di Storia Naturale Giancarlo Ligabue. Please be aware that a single ticket for the vaporetto costs approximately €7.50, and tickets can be purchased at the ticket machines or ticket counters located at the vaporetto stops.

  • Combination of Walking and Vaporetto

    If you find yourself further away in Santa Croce, you can take a leisurely walk to 'Piazzale Roma' or 'Ferrovia' vaporetto stops. Once at the stop, board vaporetto line 1 or line 2 towards San Marco. Get off at 'San Stae', then follow 'Salizada del Fontego dei Turchi' to the museum. This method combines a relaxing walk with a scenic vaporetto ride along the Grand Canal.
