Venice Carnival: integrated travel and water taxi services by Ricasoli Travel

As Venice Carnival transforms the city into one of the world's most atmospheric stages, movement through Venice becomes both part of the experience, and one of its greatest challenges.

With streets at capacity, limited road access and constant flows of guests, traditional mobility quickly reaches its limits. During Venice Carnival, how you move defines how you experience the city.

A city where water is the primary route

Venice operates on a different logic. During major events like Carnival, canals replace roads and water taxis become the most efficient, and composed way to navigate between arrivals, hotels, private palazzi and evening events.

Integrated travel beyond the canals

At Ricasoli Travel, water taxi services are coordinated as part of a wider integrated travel approach. Canal transfers are aligned with arrivals by air or rail, hotel check-ins and event schedules, ensuring that every movement supports the overall journey.

Alongside water taxis, we coordinate:

• Premium chauffeur transfers for mainland arrivals
• Airline ticketing services and schedule management
• Hotel bookings and strategic accommodation planning
• Event and VIP mobility support throughout the Carnival period
