How to get to San Servolo
The island of San Servolo is located in the Venetian lagoon, between Venice city centre and the island of Lido. It takes 10 minutes by boat to reach Piazza San Marco, the heart of Venice. The island was originally the home of the Venetian Calbana family who, beginning in 810, hosted the seat of a Benedictine Monastery. The buildings of the island have been developed and changed over the ages along with the people who inhabited it. San Servolo remained a monastery until the mid-eighteenth century when it was transformed into a Hospital. The island overlooks the tranquil waters of the lagoon, and covers an area of over sixteen-thousand square meters that were once used for vineyards and gardens. Once you are in the historic centre of Venice, the island of San Servolo can be reached either by public transportation or by private taxi. Taxis can cost from €30 to €75 one way. The public boats n° 20 (there are hourly boats running to and from the island) to San Servolo leave from San Marco in front of the Londra Palace Hotel, Riva degli Schiavoni. Tickets from S. Zaccaria to San Servolo cost € 1.80. Other routes (excluding Grand Canal) cost € 3.50 one way, or € 6.00 return. The most economic option is to buy a daily, 3-day or monthly pass. Prices Daily €10.50 3-day €22.00
