    Getting TO/AROUND: In August 2004 I went to Venice by train from Ljubljana (Slovenia), whereas in May 2005 I arrived in Venice by train from Verona.

    The central train station Santa Lucia is located in the district Cannaregio, just at one end of the Canale Grande.

    Several vaporetti lines stop just in front of the train station (Ferrrovia).

    Getting TO/AROUND: In May 2005 I left Italy by plane from the Venice Airport Marco Polo, which is located about 12 km east of the city centre.

    The Airport is very modern and consists of 2 terminals. It can be reached by both local buses, Express Fly buses, waterboats and taxis.

    For more details about how to get to the Airport, please read my "To Venice Airport by public transportation" tip.

    Getting TO/AROUND: There are three options to travel between the city centre of Venice and the Airport Marco Polo:

    The most stylish option is probably by waterboat service which is provided by the private transportation company Alilaguna. A trip from the Airport to St Mark's Square takes about 70 mins and costs 10 Euro.

    Special Express buses which are operated by ATVO take you for 3 Euro in 20 mins directly from the Airport to Piazzale Roma.

    The local buses no. 5 of the ACTV company take you also in 20 mins to Piazzale Roma. The advantage of these buses is that you can use the tickets (e.g. 24 hour ticket) also on the vaporetti which belong to the same company. A single ticket is only 2 Euro.

    Getting TO/AROUND: The public transportation in the city centre of Venice consists of vaporetti (water buses).

    The most famous line is #1 which serves a route along the Canale Grande.

    In 2004 a single ticket was 3,50 EURO (excluding a trip on the Canale Grande), whereas a 24 hour card was 10,50 EURO.

    Tickets can be bought from the ticket booths at the landing stations. They have to be stamped before boarding a vaporetto.

    Gondola: Explore Venice by gondola

    Category: Ship/Boat
    Getting TO/AROUND: The most famous vehicle of Venice seems to be the black gondola. The opinions about the gondola vary between tourist trap and most romantic way to explore the city.
    The gondola is navigated by a standing gondolieri who often wears a striped shirt and a hat. The cost of a 45 min ride is about 65 EURO for up to 6 people. The rates are controlled by the government. Nevertheless, the price can be negotiated with the gondolieri, who will tell you about the city while rowing.

    Getting TO/AROUND: The city centre of Venice is small enough to be best explored on foot. But make sure to have a proper map or at least keep an eye on the plenty of signposts directing you to the main spots, like Rialto, San Marco or Ferrovia.

     Beautiful opening shot! I would love to go back to Venice one day to explore those small alleys & waterways some more and see the islands - also the Rialto Market which we must have missed. Not sure we'll bother with the pubs though - plenty of them here!
