Getting TO/AROUND: Venice is accessible by car via the A4 highway (Turin-Milan-Trieste). At Mestre the highway connects with a superhighway 11 kilometers in length (via "Ponte della Libertà," Liberty Bridge), that one traverses to reach the lagoon. With the car, however, one cannot go beyond Piazzale Roma, where there is pay parking. Another way of reaching Venice is to leave the car in the Mestre area and use public buses, which guarantee excellent connections with Piazzale Roma.

'Mode': AROUND
Category: Ship/Boat
Getting TO/AROUND: In Venice one can take a very normal taxi (Radio Taxi's number is 041/ 5237774) or one can rent a car. The only public means available for traveling in the center are the canals; via water taxis (in service 24 hours out of 24), vaporetti, and traditional gondolas. The vaporetti and passenger-bearing speedboats can traverse only the largest canals, including the Grand Canal. Boats and gondolas, though, can travel into the narrowest waterways The water taxis have very different charges then a "land" taxi. You should always tell the driver your destination and find out the price before stepping onboard. Gondolas are also subject to additional charges. Although you will be charged for an hour in a gondola, the trip will actually only last 50 minutes and will cost L.120,000 for up to six people.
