How to get around in Venice

Venice has a few options when it comes to transportation there on the island so here are a few options to get around in the city on water. 

1. Water bus - The most common way to get around in Venice is with a water bus. They will usually be the cheapest option. If you buy a Venice city pass you can choose the option to have transport included. I find this to be quite helpful since you don't have to wait in line all the time to buy a ticket. Venice is quite a busy city so you will find that pass will come in handy. They have schedules at each station and the signs are pretty straight forward. Their water buses are called vaporetto. Also if you want a trip on the Grand Canal you can choose these water buses as they're the cheapest option. Keep in mind though that they take much longer than a taxi since they stop at each station. 

2. Taxi - Their taxis are these brown cool looking tiny boats. It's like your private tiny yacht. Of course they are much more expensive than a trip with the water bus but they are much faster than your traditional vaporetto. They can  fit up to 8 people so if you are a big group you might consider them. 

3. Gondola - Probably the most iconic thing about Venice. A gondola ride is between 80 and 100 

€. The good thing about these gondolas is the fact that they can fit up to 6 people so you can split the cost. If you wanna go romantic and all you get your own private ride. They take really good care of them and go above and beyond to make them beautiful. Usually a ride will be approximately 30 minutes long.
