PUBLIC TRANSPORTTransportation in Venice is unique. The city is built in a lagoon on an archipelago, a large group of islands. Therefore, the transportation system mainly takes place on the canals between the islands. There are
gondolas,
water taxis and an official water bus system available.
Water bus system ACTVTo get from one island to another, there is the public transport system ACTV, which operates mainly with water busses. There are various sizes available and the system is quite efficient with a regular time schedule. For more information and details about the different boats, have a look at their official
webpage.
BY FOOTThe actually best way to move around in Venice is by foot. There are plenty of narrow alleys available. By foot you won’t miss the many squares and secret small places, which are available within the city.
