The best way to get to know the city is to walk along the Calli, Campi and Campielli.   You will become intimately acquainted  with  the  unique atmosphere of  the quainter parts of the city, that escape the hurried tourist.  A good map is necessary  -  you will find them in the apartment - and very important is a good sensible pair of shoes.
To move about Venice   also   use   the   efficient water service of the  "Canal Grande".
Exploring Venice by "VAPORETTO" (local water bus) you will  betreated to the parade of palaces bordering the winding waterways, presenting you some of the finest architecture  in Italy.

The "Gondolas",  symbol of the city  are  truly romantic and  if  you  are  willing  to spend  about  100 Euro for an unforgettable  experience,  you  should  not  waste  the opportunity. (Fix price beforehand!).

Gondolas  are built at the Squero di San Trovaso in  Dorsoduro. This boatyard  is just around the corner  from our apartment Calle Nani on  the other side of the canal.
