"tragetto" the only affordable gondola ride:.50 cents
In areas along the Grand Canal, where bridges are not available,

The City Hospital is actually a beautiful building I believe is housed in an old convent.
I was told that the nuns helped care for the sick and eventually the building became a hospital.
It looks like a great church.

Santa Maria della Salute is a beautiful church at the mouth of the Grand Canal and was built to help appease (bribe) God for relief from the black plague which devastated the Venice Population.
