To get to Venice you have to either take the boat or train ride towards the city. If you want to take the boat to the city you have to go and park in the airport car park, the actual crossing can be extremely hot in summer but is good for birds such as Sandwich Tern, Avocet, Eurasian Spoonbill and Common Shelduck. The train ride is not as hot and shorter.
