Venice=gondola. True or false? FALSE
If you like to know how things work, you’re a boat-lover, or have children to entertain, you’ll be interested in the different types of boat which plough through the waters and canals of Venice and its lagoon.
Apart from the car parks by the mainland bridge, and a private port area, all transport in Venice is by boat. And the more you think about it, the more difficulties that represents. Deliveries, emergency services, taxis – everything that is done on wheels in other cities must here be done by boat.
So boats are a major part of everyday life, not just for passenger transport but for pretty much everything else, too. This is very helpful for parents with children – architecture and churches might get boring, but who can get bored of boat-spotting?
