Venice Water Taxis
ABOVE: A water taxi passes the Palazzo Ducale, or Doge's Palace.
Water taxis are also faster than public airport transportation, since you don't have to transfer to a vaporetto or walk a long way to your hotel when you arrive in the city. (Figure 25 to 30 minutes for the trip between Venice Marco Polo Airport and a waterside hotel in the city center.) Next page: How to hire a water taxi

Unfortunately,
you won't forget the price in a hurry, either: The fare between Marco Polo
Airport and a hotel in central Venice averages €110 or more, depending on location.
A trip within the historic center can easily
cost €40 to €70, depending on distance, time of day, and whether you've
hired the water taxi at a pier or requested an aquatic cab by telephone.
Still,
water taxis can hold up to 10 people, and the cost per person can be reasonable
if you're splitting the fare with family or friends.
