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 ...

Sometimes trying to find the safest and easiest way to get from the airport to your hotel can be hard. You have cabs, certain buses etc. Here is the cheapest and easiest way to reach Termini station in Rome from the airport. I wrote Ciampino airport because Rome actually has 2 airports - Ciampino and Fiuminico. But when we visited Rome, we landed on Ciampino airport.  After you take your luggage and you go through customs, at the exit you will find a few options to reach the city. All of them will offer transfer airport-Termini-airport for a small fee, usually between 8 and 10 euros per person for a return ticket. I recommend you to buy a return ticket since they will usually have a smaller price if you do it this way (around 2 or 3 euros cheaper per person).  We went with Schiaffini buses but Terravision is also another option. These usually don't make any stops until you reach Termini. Depending on the traffic (of course), the ride usually takes around 60 to 9...

I hope this post will help you save money. Venice can be expensive. Museums and tourists attractions are around 20 euros per person each. So my advice to you is - VeneziaUnica city pass. You can buy it online and it will save you at least 50 to even 100 euros depending on how many attractions you plan to visit. We bought the one that is valid for 72 hours and it was life savior. Why you should buy this city pass: 1. You can use it for transportation too. We stayed in Mestre and we used it to take the bus from Mestre to the island and for the public water buses there in Venice. The bus ticket is around 1,5 euro per person for 75 minutes but considering that we had to go back and forth from Mestre to the island for 4 days 2 times a day it was amazing to have this pass. 2. You can skip the line on some attractions. We skipped the line at Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale) and boy there were 20 to 25 people waiting in line. We were happy about that because it was a hot day as...
