I just discovered the world's best way to explore a city! Although, this may only work in Victoria, Canada.
Victoria is built around a winding bay on Vancouver Island. I learned that you could take off on a walk in almost any direction, walk as far as you like, then use your phone at one of 13 seaside locations and call a water taxi to pick you up!
They quickly send you a link that shows your water taxi on GPS, and before you know it, you're stepping into a yellow boat with black and white checkered trim and being whisked back to your original location. It's a great way to see the city.
