Venice Connected: Museums Direct
May 19, 2009 Instructions for Use
VeniceConnected.com, in addition to offering signficant advance purchase discounts, just got a little more convenient according to yesterday’s press release. In addition to the PNR (reservation code) issued uponn purchase that’s good for issue of transit passes and public bathroom access, you now have the possibility of printing your own museum pass. This would enable you to head directly to the ticket taker, without having to stop at any Venice Connected point or have a separate ticket issued at the museum…bypassing lines entirely.
It doesn’t look like the instructions have been updated yet to reflect this new functionality, but perhaps they’ll come with the information received from your purchase.
In any case, I’m sure this is only the first of a continuing evolution of VeniceConnected.com as a one-stop-shop for Venetian venue access. Every little bit helps…

Venice is now Connected, ur-rah!
Feb 1, 2009 ACTV, vaporetto, & city transit, Instructions for Use, Worth Noting
If this works, it could be a very good thing.
Active as of today, VeniceConnected.com guarantees you lower prices for a variety of venues and services (along with avoiding having to stand in line to buy them) if you book through their site. You must make your purchase at least 15 days in advance, but low, medium, and high visitation periods are colorfully indicated on the calendar you’ll use in the booking process, so you can determine when your savings will be greatest.
At the moment, you can reserve parking, purchase public transport passes (from 12 hours to 7 days, good for ACTV vaporetto & land buses), Alilaguna airport transfers, museum passes, paid toilet services by the day or the week. Wi-fi access (city-wide availability due mid-year!) and Casinò entrance are included with any other purchases.
I’ve created a VeniceConnected article with more info, usage instructions, and some screen shots. If you use the site, do come back and post your experience with it.
Incrociamo le dita…
