Boat & day trips
Murano
The glassmaking island, with furnaces, glass shops and a quieter canal-side feel. Vaporetto lines 4.1 and 4.2 run from Piazzale Roma.
Chioggia, Isola dei Saloni
One berth for ships up to about 228 m, used by a small number of calls each year.
Getting into town
Chioggia's own old town, a small lagoon fishing town, is a short walk away. Venice is a long way off (well over an hour by road or by bus and ferry via Pellestrina and the Lido), so use your cruise line's transfer if you want to see Venice.
Step-free
Chioggia's centre is flat; check terminal access with your cruise line.

A church covered inside with golden mosaics, built to hold the relics of St Mark. Sunday and holiday mornings are kept for worship, so visits start in the early afternoon on those days; book a time slot to skip most of the queue.
