Water taxi in Venice

[swangirl]

I have a friend who will be cruising with MSC and they are staying in Venice the night before the cruise. It is their responsibility to get to the ship from St. Marks square, does anyone know how much this

will cost?

About 100€. two years ago I got a watervtaxi from the train station which is near Piazale Roma down the grand canal and justba little bitbalong from Sam Marco and that's how much it was for a 15 minute ride.

There is no need to use a water taxi unless they have lots of luggage. They can buy a ticket for a vaporetto (think bus on the water) for about $10 each, take it to Piazzale Roma, and then walk to the port or take the People Mover for 1 euro each.

Exactly. The key here is amount of luggage. Vaporetto's are usually crowded and hardly room to stand. There isn't much grace given for folks with more than a single bag. Even then locals begrudge luggage. (If you can't carry it isn't really welcome.)

 

Ergo the water taxi and e100 fare :)

 

Enjoy your stay in Venice ... truly a special place!
