Venice

Venice is a city in Italy. The city itself is a collection of islands. You will probably arrive and leave through Mestre.

Hitching Out

Hitching out of Mestre is really hard. There is a roundabout with a gas station very close to the highway in Marghera that looks good on Google Maps but is very bad, at least for going East.

You might want to try taking bus #14 towards the highway.

Public Transport

You can get bus tickets for local buses for 1,10 euro (in the bus they cost 1,80 euro). The boats to get to other islands are ridiculously expensive (6,50 euro for 1 hour). You could risk going without a ticket on one stop, the fines are around 40 euro.
