Just to see real life in the city eartly in the morning, and how the locals are using the service. We could use the bus in Lido and go around with the same ticket, so it was really helpfull.

The code for printing out the ticket at the machine arrived promptly by email. The code was recognized directly by the machine and we then received the appropriate tickets as a printout. We could probably have bought the tickets directly from the machine (necessary for the printout) and saved ourselves €5 in fees. The cruise itself was easy, pleasant and varied. We recommend not getting on or changing at the train station. There are simply too many people there who also want to use a vaporetto. We didn't have time to wait for the next but one or even later boat. So we took a good half hour boat ride for two for 55€. We then walked back on foot. Conclusion: Riding the vaporetto is really an experience and highly recommended! Next time, however, we would only buy a ticket for one trip, and we would buy it from the ticket machine. That would be cheaper. Incidentally, the ticket prices are pretty much the same as here on Lake Constance for the excursion boats!

The multi-day tickets are highly recommended, especially if you are staying on the Lido. However, strikes on the vaporetto lines are not that rare. (It happened to me - so the ticket is a waste for that day)

Very good value for money especially as we stayed on one of the islands which required travel to and from the island on a regular basis during the day.
