Gondola



If there is one thing you ought to do while you’re in Venice, it’s to see the city from the water. It is truly amazing how everything we do using our cars, is done there with boats. For example, we saw boats as ambulances, trash pick-up, taxis, and as personal transportation. When you find a gondola at a gondola station you should ask your gondolier what he will show you and set a price before you get on so you do not get ripped off. The average cost of a short gondola ride is 100 Euros. There are 40 km of canals in Venice so if you want to see it all you’ll have to bring a sleeping bag and stay on for days!


When you are on your gondola tour you will get to sit and listen to your gondolier tell you about Venetian history as you relax through the many canals Venice has to offer.
