I'll walk from Piazzale Roma
(that's the bus & car terminal)
Cross the bridge to Giardino Papadopoli, cross a second bridge on the side of Hotel Sofitel, go slightly to the left and then straight on according to the map, with the waypoints of Scuola Grande San Rocco - campo San Tomà - Casa Museo Goldoni,them go through the narrow street (calle) on its side and at the end you will find a gate with number 2774. Ring to M.C. Passi. A walk of about 15min.
On foot from Railway Station
You can reach Palazzo Tiepolo crossing the bridge on the Canal Grande, in front of the station; then follow the map. Your waypoints are: Scuola Grande di San Rocco, Campo San Tomà, Casa Museo Goldoni. When you arrive to Casa Goldoni, go through the narrow street (calle) on its left side and at the end you will find a gate with number 2774. Ring to M.C. Passi. It will take approx. 15 min.
I'll take a Vaporetto!
You may also take the public boat to San Tomà, line 1 or 2, whose stops are near the car terminal and the rail station.
Line 1 is slower, but with more runs than line 2; you'll find a boat 24/24 hours, every 10 minutes in the working hours and 30 minutes in night time. It takes about 30-35 minutes to san Tomà. Line 2 is quicker, but with less trips to San Tomà,and it takes about 20 minutes.
...still at the Airport...
Once you've landed, you've plenty of choices! If you take a car taxi, no problem at all, tell the driver to drive you to Piazzale Roma, and from there you can arrive to palazzo Tiepolo on foot or by boat; if you prefer a water taxi - a quite expensive solution - just ask for Palazzo Tiepolo, near to San Tomà vaporetto stop.
With the public bus service, Venice is well connected to the airport: ACTV lines n. 4/ and 5 depart every 15min; ATVO Venezia Air Terminal line depart every 20min.
There is a private boat service, ALILAGUNA, that started a boat service from airport to Venice, the cost is around 12€ each person, and it takes about 1h to reach S. Angelo, the Vaporetto stop in front of palazzo Tiepolo; from there, take vaporetto line n. 1 to cross the Canal Grande to S. Tomà stop.
Of course the services timetable can vary, so please check it!
