Maps and plans of the old Venetian town is in fact a separate chapter. We had some plans, and none

No other city has such a different 1101 urban transport system that is Venice. Due to its location, it does not have the traditional road transport. The total was replaced by water transport.
In the region of the Venetian old town can be reached by any conventional 1101 means of transport. To the borders of the old Venice has been brought highway bridge. However, immediately after the bridge the road ends big (paid) 1101 parking - on a car ride can not. The railway line (running as a bridge) 1101 ends up more or less in the same area a big railway station. 1101 Next to the train station, on the opposite side of the canal, there is a bus station where all the buses arrive course, going to the center of Venice. From that moment on, every tourist convicted 1101 solely on the internal Venetian transport system.
The primary means of transportation in the canals of Venice are called. "Vaporetto", which is nothing other than trams. Network vaporetto 1101 is very well organized, and the same trams sail surprisingly punctual buses timetables lolling on individual stops can safely trust. As most of the lines (and there are quite a few) swims in both directions, the only problem is sometimes the diagnosis, which flows towards the tram. For additional difficulties, some lines are lines express and does not stop at all stops. You have to carefully choose your vaporetto
At most stops in the center are the ticket sales points. Tickets are sold to tourists 1101 are much more expensive than their counterparts, available to residents of Venice and wanting to intensively around the city, you have to take into account the considerable budget trip expenses vaporetto tickets. There is no other way of getting around Venice. Well, unless you can afford 1101 an alternative in the form of a water taxis (mostly 1101 in the form of a motorboat) or even more expensive tourist gondola.
Tickets for the vaporetto definitely pays to buy in the form of season 1101 tickets. Single tickets are highly unprofitable and never happened to us such a buy. Every morning, after arriving at the insular part of Venice, once we provided a 12-hour ticket, sufficient for the evening return 1101 to the hotel. 12-hour ticket for one person will cost 12 euros, so a lot. Week in Venice for two people, each buying such tickets is a very visible item in the budget. No, but in Venice there is a small item in the budget
Probably few tourists can imagine staying in Venice without the traditional Venetian gondola tours. Gondolas and gondoliers are one of the most famous views of Venice, a symbol of the city. But hardly anyone expects that costs brings pleasure 1101 to the passage of a gondola in Venice. 1101 Prices for a gondola ride is, at least for Polish pocket, very tall and rather not subject to negotiation. Certainly not negotiable in high season, sometimes even when there is a problem with finding free gondolier. Venetian gondoliers are well organized and have a fixed constant and uniform in all rates. There is therefore a chance to look for cheaper deals elsewhere - as in every gondolier will be the same. And what? Gondoliers are in the "offer" several routes to choose from, differing in the amount of well-known places 1101 near where you can swim, and hence differing duration. A promise - pictures of Venice, made with water is a different class of images
Turning to prices, offer gondoliers began during our stay from the amount of 70 euros for the shortest ride. The shortest ride lasted half an hour, but did not include all the cool places, so more appropriate seemed to us to offer trips for a 45-minute round 100 euros. Calm down - price applies to rent the entire 1101 boat - it is calculated from a person Pricey, but well worth it. A boat can safely pack of 6 people, the longer 1101 it goes horribly priced.
With a week to see the whole of Venice, could not afford the comfort of his plan in a systematic 1101 way. Every day we visited another district Venetian old town. And basically it was meant to be, because sometimes "managed" we visit places 1101 unintentional. Venetian labyrinth of narrow streets and canals is in fact so incredibly intricate, and in addition 1101 they are often very similar to each other that experienced moments of wandering several times to the same places. There have always been able to come to terms with finding their own position on the map.
Maps and plans of the old Venetian town is in fact a separate chapter. We had some plans, and none gave enough faithfully layout of streets, squares, bridges, canals and channels. Maybe we were too detailed tourists, because literally 1101 looked in every street, in a special way just taking in the hidden corners of the city, more n
