Getting Around

topTraghettis

Traghettis are gondola ferries that cross the Grand Canal at seven different points. They are quite inexpensive.

topVaporetti

Vaporetti, or water buses provide an entertaining form of public transport. You can purchase day or multi-day passes.

Piazzale Roma 041 528 78 86

topWater Taxis

Water Taxis are the fastest and most practical way to get around, but are more expensive than vaporetti. Five star hotels on the canal often have their own taxi service.

topGondolas

A Gondola is the most romantic and expensive form of transportation, but how can you go to Venice and not take at least one gondola ride? Be sure to negotiate the price before boarding. Serenades cost extra.
