the City There
are two main means of transportation in Venice, pedestrian and waterborne. Waterborne
transport consists of water taxis and waterbuses, or "vaporetto". The local
transport authority site has information on getting around Venice using the
local public transportation, including timetables for the waterbuses (vaporetto)
and a map of Venice transport system. The
historical center of Venice is made up of six districts (sestiere): Cannaregio,
Dorsoduro, Castello, Santa Croce, San Polo and San Marco. Divided in two by the
Grand Canal, the districts of Cannaregio, Castello and San Marco occupy the northern
part of the historical center of Venice, while to the south of the Grand Canal
we find the Santa Croce, San Polo and Dorsoduro districts. The Dorsoduro district
also incorporates the Island of Guidecca . Each of the six sestiere has its own
unique character and specific attractions. For
