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.
