Reaching and getting around Venice can be done in several ways: by train, car, bus, airplane, or boat. Once in Venice, the primary modes of transportation are walking, public water buses (vaporetti), and taxis. The water bus system is run by ACTV and has many lines that traverse the major canals and connect to nearby islands. Fares can be paid with tickets that are valid for different durations, making the water buses a convenient and affordable way to navigate Venice.
