5Misunderstanding Vaporetto Use

The vaporetto, Venice’s public waterbus, is a convenient way to navigate the canals. However, tourists frequently misuse this service by not validating their tickets or boarding the wrong line.

Always validate your ticket before boarding to avoid fines, and familiarize yourself with the vaporetto routes and schedules. Line 1, for example, is slower but offers scenic views, while Line 2 is faster and covers more ground quickly.
