Get Around Venice
EASY ACCESS TO THE CITY
How to Move Around
The vaporetto is the main mode of public transportation on the waterways of Venice. Operating on the Grand Canal and other major canals, vaporettos provide a practical means of getting around the city. With various lines connecting key landmarks, they offer a unique and scenic perspective of Venice’s architectural wonders.
For a more private and personalized experience, water taxis are available for hire. These sleek motorboats can be a convenient option for individuals or groups, offering direct routes to specific destinations and a faster mode of transport compared to the vaporetto.
While often associated with romantic rides, gondolas are also a form of transport in Venice, albeit more commonly used for short trips or special occasions. They offer a leisurely and intimate way to explore the smaller canals, providing a glimpse into the city’s quieter and less-traveled waterways.
These are gondola ferries that cross the Grand Canal at strategic points. Though not as common as other forms of transport, traghetti offer a unique experience, allowing passengers to hop on for a short journey across the canal, typically at a lower cost than a full gondola ride.
