Venice is known as "City of Water" in the sense that its urban fabric is not only crossed by waterways, but it is also completely surrounded by water. The city's shape can be compared to a big fish, characterised by two characteristic and unique transport systems - waterways and routes accessible only on foot. In this environment, unique in the world, public transport is guaranteed by a network of waterways which develop in, cross through or circumnavigate Venice to reach the most distant points: the islands in the lagoon.
Perhaps not everyone knows that the difference between right berthing and left berthing is established with your back to the water. |

SEASONAL LINES
Seasonal lines are largely dedicated to tourists and are activated on particular occasions, such as during the Venice Carnival or in the spring and summer to facilitate the mobility of large numbers of visitors.
These seasonal lines provide rapid, direct backup to the city centre lines down the Canal Grande and Giudecca Canal.
Line 5 on the other hand directly links the island of Murano with Piazza San Marco and the city centre of Venice, taking an external route. |
