Something fun and free!
Most people arrive at Central station and go out the front doors. If you want to do something fun and free go out the back. There you will find three small ferries. Each one will take you to a different location. The trips are only 5 to 10 minutes each, but give you a great chance to see things from a different angle. Also you can get some great pictures of different types of boats and ships.
The first one was my favorite, I had no idea that I would have the opportunity to see a real Russian Submarine.
The second one goes straight across, and while the shortest trip it has a great little place to grab a cup of hot coffee. I'm sure they serve other drinks and food, but the day I was there was cold, all I wanted was something hot to drink.
The third one, goes to the right. If the cruise ship is in, you will have a great chance to grab a picture.
While I would not suggest doing in place of a cannel ride, it does complement it.
For people traveling with kids, it should rate a 10! Shutter bugs will love it too.
While these boats don't carry cars, they do take bikes, cycles, mini cars, dogs... Leave a Comment
