→Hitchhiking out
Public transport in Venice centre is extremely overpriced (7,50 for an one-way ticket). No worry, as you can walk almost everywhere excluding the islands (Giudecca, Lido..) to which you have to take a water bus. However you can blackride (quite easy from what we heard, almost no ticket checkings), and hitchhiking private and cargo boats is also possible. Ferries, gondolas, and water taxis will probably not take you. We stood on the bank of Canale Giudecca close to the railway station with a big sign saying "Giudecca" and waved at boats - we got a ride to G. in around 15 mins. On the way back it took us around 1 hour to get a ride, but thats still decent.
== Hitchhiking out ==
Leaving the city can be a drag so better prepare the whole day for that. You can catch a ride from [http://maps.google.it/maps?ll=45.441102,12.315366&spn=0.007242,0.01929&z=16&lci=com.google.webcams&layer=c&cbll=45.441102,12.315366&panoid=ODp2EZxJb52sSOx1mJcf4w&cbp=12,30.75,,0,0 the start of the bridge], but avoid short rides to Mestre. Hitching out of Mestre is really hard, maybe taking a short train ride to better place is the best option. If you arrive by plane at Marco Polo Airport do NOT catch the local bus (lines 5, 15, 45, 45H) inside for €8 [April 2017], walk 10 min and head outside of the airport to this point [[https://goo.gl/maps/UCjSG892DJu]] stop name "Tessera Centro". From there you catch the exact same bus for €1.50 buying the ticket from the kiosk in front of the bus stop, right from the hotel (or blackriding).
