East towards Trieste, Udine, Slovenia, Croatia
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).
=== West towards [[Verona]], [[Bologna]] ===
Going to Trieste was very easy for me and my friend as we just got to Marco Polo Airport by bus number 5 from Piazzale Roma from Venice. It takes just a moment and one way ticket costs 1,5 euro. Just go off the bus on the last stop on Marco Polo Airport and start walking east (when you stand in front of bus stop go left along the street and then through the openair parking) until you reach the roundabout with direction Trieste on the right side. Before the roundabout there's a great spot to stand next to the street and cars can easily stop
 
== Going To Marco Polo Airport ==
**When you go to buy a bus ticket from Venice (Piazelle Roma) to the airport (Marco Polo) airport they will charge €8 or €8.50. Instead, ask for a ticket to Tessera, which is one stop before the airport and costs only €1.50 to get on the exact same bus (#5). You can then stay on the bus til the airport if you wish**
