Romantic Gondola Ride in Venice

Written by VacationIdea.com Travel Editors.
Gondolas have been a tradition in Venice for centuries. Initially used to transport goods down the narrow canals of Venice, today gondolas are primarily used for sightseeing and ceremonial functions.

Taking a gondola ride in Venice gives you a completely different perspective of the city than exploring it on foot. The best time for a gondola ride is in the evening when the waterways are no longer crowded with other boats.

You can usually book a ride through your hotel. If you go for a walk around St. Mark's in the evening, many gondoliers stand near bridges offering gondola rides.
