The traghetto — the local way across the canal

Where there's no bridge, locals cross the Grand Canal standing up in a stripped-down gondola called a traghetto. Two euros, two minutes, and you're across — used mostly to skip a fifteen-minute walk to the nearest bridge. The Santa Sofia crossing (near Rialto Market) and the San Tomà crossing are still active most mornings. Stand if you're brave, sit if you're not. Cash only, exact change appreciated.
