walk. Only take the water...
by OceanaD
walk. Only take the water buses when you absolutely must get back to your hotel or somewhere else, like a restaurant where you have dinner reservations. Other than that, the city is so beautiful and very pedestrian, taking a leisurely walk will gurantee you to be swept up in Venice's ambiance. There's a new discovery around every corner. I loved taking the water buses at night. With the cold, clear nights and the beautiful lights around centuries old architecture, it was like gliding through some mystical world. It left me with feeling of hope and dreams to come. Romance really does permeate Venice.

Winding Streets and Canals
by TRimer
Wander around and take in the wonderful sights. If you try to use a map you will drive yourself crazy. Remember- you are on an island. How lost can you get? The beauty of the place is what I miss. Photos can only capture so much.
Gas Stations
by grandmaR
Are there gas stations in Venice?
Yes, but you won't see them unless you look for them - they are gas stations (maybe for diesel) for boats right along the edges of the canals. Otherwise none of the vaporettos and water taxis could run, could they?
I am assuming that the police, Coast Guard (photo 3) and the local transportation operators do have their own places to fill up. Also I would bet that some marinas would have fuel available. I don't know about the hotels and private persons. Photo 5 shows an interesting installation which might be a lift or might be something else.
