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, and it's a romantic vacation idea.
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. Each gondola is a bit different so you can make sure you get the perfect one on your romantic vacation.
