Private Water Taxi Transfer from Santa Lucia Station to Hotel Carlton on the Grand Canal

Arrive in Comfort: Private Water Taxi Transfer to Hotel Carlton on the Grand Canal

Planning your stay in Venice and arriving by train? The Hotel Carlton on the Grand Canal is located just a 5-minute walk from Venice Santa Lucia train station, directly across the Grand Canal.

However, to reach the hotel on foot, you must cross the Ponte degli Scalzi—a beautiful historic bridge with 80 steep steps. If you’re carrying heavy luggage, traveling with children, or have mobility issues, this short walk can become a real challenge.

That’s why we’ve created a more comfortable solution just for you.
