I had a very pleasant experience with the vaporetto in Venice. It is the most practical and authentic way to get around the city, and the views from the Grand Canal are simply spectacular. I appreciated the punctuality, the frequency of the rides, and the fact that it is easy to understand even for tourists. It was also a special feeling to ride alongside the locals, feeling the real pulse of the city. I recommend anyone visiting Venice to try the vaporetto at least once – it is not just transportation, but part of the Venetian charm.

I participated in the Veleziana regatta and having arrived at 5:30 a.m. I was worried about the vaporetto ticket. A wonderful surprise to have found the automatic bihlietterie operating at the boarding entrances. Dolendid day full of people but not crowded. On camkinava quietly being able to well hodere of the wonderful landscape that this city grants.

It was an awesome opportunity to see so much if Venice in a short time. We were able to catch water bus at any location and spent the day going around Venice using the buses. The directions and terminals were easy to figure out and it helped us see more of Venice, than if we traveled another way. The price if the ticket was resonable and quickly paid for itself.

    Arrived at SANTA LUCIA station , the ticket office was just in front of the exit, it was the "only counter without a queue and in no time we were handed our passes, the rest of the day then was wonderful, beautiful day, although with a lot of people, but livable.

    All very good. In my opinion, you could think of validating the ticket by qrcode to avoid having people look for a ticket office that is enabled
