If you arrive by car, you must leave your vehicle in one of the
parking lots on the outskirts of the city.� The parking at
Piazzale Roma is the nearest to the city center.� Venice's
public transportation system uses two types of boats, vaporetti
(water busses) and motoscafi (water taxis).�
All vaporetti boats are numbered and follow certain routes
around the city.� Vaporetti boats leave from floating
docks which are clearly marked with service numbers and route maps.�
There is a limited night service on most routes.�
The same numbered busses head in two directions, so make sure the
boat is heading in your desired direction before boarding.�
There are normally separate boarding lines for each direction.�
You can buy tickets at the dock or at shops displaying an ACTV
sticker.�
HINT: You can save money by buying multiple day passes.�
All tickets must be validated at the machine on the dock before
boarding.�
Below is a clickable map of Venice showing two of the Vaporetto

Motoscafi water taxis are a faster but more expensive means
of travel.� You can either hail them as you do regular taxis,
or you can call 041 523 5775, 041 522 2303 or 041 522 1265.�
Traghetti (ferries) can be found at seven points along the
Grand Canal.� Since there are only three bridges across the
Grand Canal, these ferries can be very useful.� They are old
boats marked by yellow signs.� You must pay as you board and it
is customary to remain standing during the short trip across the
canal.
 �
The final method of transportation is the famous Venetian gondola.�
Gondolas can travel down even the narrowest canals, but are
extremely expensive.
