The No. 2 vaporetto - Grand Canal, Venice, Italy - Scenic Boat Rides on Waymarking.com

The Grand Canal is a canal in Venice, Italy. It forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the city. Public transport is provided by water buses (Italian: vaporetti) and private water taxis, and many tourists explore the canal by gondola.

At one end the canal leads into the lagoon near Santa Lucia railway station and the other end leads into Saint Mark Basin: in between it makes a large S-shape through the central districts (sestieri) of Venice. It is 3,800 m long, 30–90 m wide, with an average depth of five meters (16.5 ft).

The No. 2 vaporetto connects the island of Tronchetto with other parts of Venice. It runs in two directions:
* No. 2 Piazzale Roma - Ferrovia - San Marco. This boat heads toward the train station, then goes up the Grand Canal to the Piazza San Marco with stops at the Rialto Bridge and a few other points along the way.
* No. 2 San Basilio - Zattere - Giudecca - San Zaccaria. This route takes you up the Giudecca Canal, ending at San Zaccaria (a quick stroll from the Piazza San Marco). In high season, the boat continues on to the Lido.

To buy vaporetto tickets, follow the "Actv" signs to the brick building on the waterfront; go through the opening to the pier, where you'll find a ticket office. (If the ticket office is closed, try the Tabacchi or newsstand/cigarette shop next to the toilets and bar.)
