The Vaporetto

I've mentioned it a fair amount, so I might as well show you what the vaporetto is. Essentially, it is the cheapest way to travel around Venice by water (unless you have your own boat). Throughout the city, especially on the Grand Canal, there are enclosed stops. They have yellow bands with the name of the stop around the top of the structure. For 7 euro, you can stay on a vaporetto for 60 minutes and take one of the many lines to any stop in the city. The boat docks at each stop and has both enclosed seating and outdoor standing. Pretty nifty, huh?
