If you’re lucky enough to go on a vacation to a city that is situated on a large body of water, you might find that ferries are available for residents and tourists alike to use for transportation.
While commuters in cities like New York City and Geneva might use this method of transportation to go to work or to go home at the end of a long day, they are great for doing tourism as well. Seeing a city from the perspective of a boat gives you a whole new window into its appearance and character.
Cruising on the water in a ferry is a fantastic option, especially if the weather is sunny. Most boats offer outdoor seating that will let you catch rays while traveling along.
Another huge advantage of testing out a city’s ferry is that it’s usually going to be very affordable. Since these boats are also used for daily commutes by residents, they are never “tourist priced.”
Sustainable urbanism and tourism go hand and hand when you go on a ferry ride. Don’t be afraid to use your sea legs to check out your destination from a unique perspective!
