🚗Transportation strategy
Since there are no cars in Venice, people mainly rely on water transportation and walking. If you want to visit Venice conveniently, you can choose to buy the Venice Transportation Card (Vaporetto), which allows you to take the water bus (Vaporetto) to visit various attractions; in addition, if you want to travel comfortably, you can also choose a water taxi. Of course, what I most recommend everyone to try is the "Water Mercedes" gondola that is very local! This is a traditional rowing method unique to Venice. It is so pleasant to listen to the gondolier humming a tune while rowing at the stern!
