Venice is known for its network of alleyways and canals. With most of its medieval structures still standing tall, there are no roads that can accommodate vehicular traffic in Venice. The best way to get around Venice is by foot. The labyrinthine alleys allow you to get lost and explore the lesser-known parts of the city. Apart from foot, you can also use water taxis, Gondolas, Traghettos, and water buses.

  • Note that the Traghetti is a regular mode of transport for Venetian workers. Therefore, the facility will be in service only at certain times of the day. 
  • Traghetti is effective because only 4 bridges cross the grand canal.
  • Unlike regular Gondolas, Traghetti do not have singing Gondoliers with beribboned hats.
