A gondola ride is a must do experience in Venice!

As the city passes around you, your authentic gondola slices the canal water in a quiet rush. Glide along the Grand Canal and venture into small, peaceful waterways. Planning your ride in advance is the most cost-effective way to enjoy this essential Venice activity.

Significant icons of the city, these beautifully hand-crafted wooden rowboats trace their history back to the 11th century, when they were used as a primary form of public transport.
