A new discovery for me is Traghetto in Venice, I had always used the bridges when going from one side to the other of the Grand Canal - these - as anyone who has stayed in Venice will know can sometimes be quite out of the way, but a recent trip with a friend in tow for company taught me something so useful and fun. There are seven points on the grand canal - in between the bridges - with a Gondola service that takes you from one side to the other, they are mainly situated near Gondola service points, the cost is just 50 cents which you just hand to the charming Gondoliero who will hold his arm out to steady you as you get on and off, I found the whole experience absolutely gorgeous. If you catch the traghetto near to the Rialto market in the morning you will see the local women get on with their shopping bags who all stand up for the ride accross...For more information on water buses, gondola rides and water taxis
