How do you say "3-day Vaporetto Pass" in Italian
I am going to Venice next month, and am learning to speak some basic Italian ..
So how do I say "3-day Vaporetto Pass"? is it "il passo di vaporetto, per tre giorni"?
Thanks
John

Just say :
"Un biglietto valido tre giorni, per favore",
or, if more than one ticket needed
"due/tre/venti biglietti validi tre giorni, per favore".

Grazie.
I will say (Dirò
: quattro biglietti validi tre giorni, per piacere.
Just find it more fun for me to attempt to speak the native language when I travel; people may laugh but eventually makes things go smoother.

>You'll be fine just saying
>"3-day vaporetto pass, please"
Not necessarily. Why should a ticket seller understand a foreign language?
I had to step in last time I was in Venice because an American was getting really angry with a poor man who didn't understand that he wanted a seven day ticket. If you glance up at the board above the booth you can actually see the Italian for 7 day, daily etc. written up.

Thank you Sylvia. ACTV has their own website. It's actually quite good. http://www.actv.it/eng/home.php?PHPS...ec5def787be704
99.9% of Venice's ticket sellers speak some English, same as the Gondolieri. It's a known fact many like to pretend they don't for their own amusement. Some people need to humor themselves while performing mundane jobs.
However, Johnmango, keep up with your Italian lessons.
