Inside the city there is no car traffic and its inhabitants move both on foot and through the canals by boats known as vaporettos.

Another of the surrounding stories is that the Bridge that connects to the Palace is called the Bridge of Sighs because women used to walk around when the Ducal Palace was a prison and sighed for the men who were imprisoned there, which has given rise to the name of the famous bridge and that by itself, is another attraction worth seeing.
