Transport
As you might expect from a city famous for its canals, water is
the main medium of transport in Venice. Water buses, known as
Vaporetti, ply the Grand Canal and make scheduled stops. Instead of
taxi cabs visitors can hire a water taxi or a gondola, piloted by a
stripe-shirted gondolier, who for an extra fee will serenade his
passengers as he poles them through the waterways. Though an iconic
experience of a Venetian holioday, the gondola option is
exceedingly expensive. Once ashore the only way to explore is on
foot, through the narrow alleys and lively squares; there are no
cars at all in Venice.
