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 €100, depending on location, and a trip within the historic center can easily
cost €30 or more, especially if you're paying the surcharge for ordering a water
taxi 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.
