People are used to travelling by bus, car, plane or boat, etc. However, there are lots of other unique and unusual means of transportation around the world. These types of transport are sure to be a memorable experience.
Coco taxi – Havana, Cuba
Coco taxis have got three wheels and a back seat for two people behind the driver. These yellow taxis look like coconuts and are most common in Havana. They are slower but cheaper than regular black taxis. They have a speed of 30km/h. They are also really noisy. The famous yellow coco taxis are mainly for tourists, so people can find them easily in places of tourist destinations or in front of famous hotels.
Gondola – Venice, Italy
Venice is famous for its large network of canals, and the best way to get around them is by using a traditional narrow long wooden gondola boat. Gondolas were the main means of transport in Venice centuries ago, but today they carry only tourists. A gondola ride in Venice ranks among one of the most romantic experiences for travellers. However, it is quite expensive. A 40-minute trip costs about €80 during the day and €120 after 7 p.m. A gondola can hold up to six people.
