Mineralnye Vody, meaning mineral water in Russian, is a small city located in the Stavropol Kayrı region in the southwestern part of Russia. You can travel to Mineralnye Vody International Airport to get to this city known for its mineral water deposits. In addition to Mineralnye Vody, this airport also serves many other cities such as Cherkessk, Kislovodsk, Pyatigorsk, Yessentuki.
Mineralnye Vody, located near the Kuma River, has a small city with a very low population. As a result, public transportation choices within the city are also limited. You can travel by bus within the city; but taxi or car rental options may be more useful.
You can also travel to neighboring cities via Mineralnye Vody Train Station. Trains do not operate within the city. The distance between the city center and the airport is about 4 kilometers. So it is very easy to reach the airport. If you want to take advantage of public transport you can go to the bus station, alternatively you can consider renting a car or taking a taxi.
It is possible to travel to the airport by bus number 10 or 11, which pass through the train station or the central bus terminal. These buses depart every half an hour and arrive at the airport in twenty to twenty-five minutes. Except for reaching the airport, if you are planning to use public transport in the city, the only option is the bus. By buses you can reach every part of the city.
You can rent your car from many car rental companies located in the city, or you can easily travel to the airport by reserving your car online before your flight.
Mineralnye Voda taxis are very convenient for your budget and the vehicles are comfortable. You can choose to take a taxi to get to the airport.
Mineralnye Vody International Airport is well known as one of the largest airports in Russia. Apart from Mineralnye Vody, you can also reach cities like Cherkessk, Kislovodsk, Pyatigorsk and Yessentuki from the airport. There are facilities to ensure you have a pleasant time in the airport; but your alternatives are more limited than at a major airport.
At the international terminal, there is a big duty free store where you can buy a variety of quality products. Apart from that, you can find various restaurants and cafes, and spend time in boutique shops selling traditional products. There are also family areas designed for parents with children under the age of seven in the terminal.
Venice has two airports, "Marco Polo" and "Treviso", but a significant number of international flights, including flights from Istanbul, are landing at Marco Polo Airport.
From the airport to the city center you have many options such as train, bus, taxi, vaporetto, car rental and water taxi.
There are two options for transportation from the airport to the city: "ACTV" buses operated by municipality or privately operated "ATVO" buses.
ACTV buses operate from 4 am to midnight every day of the week, between Rome Square and the airport. The journey lasts 25 minutes. Tickets can be picked up from the vending machines at the airport terminals. ATVO buses also work on the same line as ACTV. The bus departing from the airport operated between 7.50 am and 11.50 pm. The duration of the journey is almost the same as ACTV. If you will be staying somewhere outside Venice city center, like Mestre, you can use other routes of ATVO and ACTV.
It is very enjoyable to get to the Venetian islands from the airport with the small sea buses, which are called "Vaporetto", run by the company "Alilunga" because you will start living the Venetian atmosphere as soon as you enter the city. There are 3 separate lines - red, orange and blue; which one to choose depends on your destination. Therefore, it is advised for you to consult your hotel about which line to choose and which stop to get off before you arrival. The journey with these would not be very short. It depends on your destination, but it lasts more than 1 hour. You can get tickets from your arrival terminal. You can reach the pier of boats after a 10-minute walk from the terminal exit.
While the most convenient way to get to the city center of Venice is by bus and vaporetto, you still have the option to take a train. You only need to take a taxi or bus to get to the main railway stations from the airport. With the buses from the airport you can go to the Mestre station in 20-25 minutes and to Santa Lucia station in 35 minutes. Then you can reach the different points of the city by train. It is not a practical and preferred method as you need to change two vehicles with this way.
There is a taxi company named "Radio Taxi" at the airport. You can make reservations in advance or take a taxi to the city center or other area upon your arrival. Taxi fare would be around 40 euros to Rome Square, and 35 euros to the center of Mestre from the airport.
You can rent a car from the lower floor of the arrival terminals. Here you can find a total of eight company offices such as Avis, Europcar, Autovia, Autoeuropa, Maggiore, Sixt, Lacauto and Hertz. If you will only be visiting Venice city center, renting a car is not a recommended option, because you cannot take your car to the city center, where you can travel with boats or by foot. If you rent a car from the airport, you need to park it in the parking lot at the Rome Square.
The water taxi, which is the most elegant and most expensive way of going to the center of Venice from the airport via the canal, is another alternative. When you book in advance, it can be a bit cheaper, but the average prices vary between 80 and 125 euros depending on where you are going.
