"How to get around in Venice" Venice Transportation Tip by Goner

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.
