By taxi:Private water taxi: c. 30 mins to your hotel, approx. 80 Euros. Other transport:Public boat: Hourly to St Mark's Square and the Lido. Getting around:Venice is a delight to explore on foot, finding your way through the narrow streets and over the many canals. No.1 and No.52 water bus (vaporetto) routes are ideal for sightseeing.
