🚤💡 Ride Sharing in Venice? Here’s What You Really Need to Know

#ridesharingtravel

In Venice, there are no cars. No buses. No Ubers. Just canals, boats, and cobblestones. But that doesn’t mean you can’t share your ride like a smart traveler. You just need to think… Venetian 🚣♂️✨

🛶 What Ride Sharing Looks Like in Venice

🚤 Vaporetto (Public Waterbus) = Venice’s Version of UberPool
Hop on and off with locals and tourists alike. It’s cheap, scenic, and goes everywhere from Piazza San Marco to Murano & Burano.

🛥️ Alilaguna Airport Boats = Airport Shuttle, Venetian-Style
Great for getting from Marco Polo Airport to central Venice or the Lido. Book online for the best price.

🧑🤝🧑 Split a Water Taxi
Private water taxis are pricey… unless you split the fare! Ask fellow travelers at hostels or on apps like Rome2Rio or Facebook groups. It turns a €70 fare into a breezy €15–20.

🚶♀️ Venice = a Walkers’ Paradise
Don’t underestimate the joy (and savings) of wandering. The city’s walkable, safe, and full of surprise bridges and secret squares.
