GONDOLA RIDE IN VENICE
A gondola ride along the Canals of Venice is on the wish list of every traveller who visits “the city of the water streets”. For any mythomaniacs, a gondola ride in
Venice is nothing but a romantic dream coming true. There is only one
Venice, and the gondola ride is the unique opportunity to get to know the city
from the right perspective, the water line.
So, get ready for an unforgettable ride in the narrow canals of a city that has
existed for more than 1,200 years.
This boat, the gondola, is undoubtedly one of the most emblematic images of Venice and one of the most recognisable icons in the world. In the past it was the symbol of elegance and extravagance, why almost every king in Europe wanted gondolas in the lakes and canals of their palaces.
For our gondola excursion, we have chosen a special route that runs along part of the Canal Grande, the most elegant avenue in the city. But we will also
enter the small canals, of which many are only accessible by boat. In these narrow straits, we will get the best opportunity to see the gondolier, in his traditional uniform, demonstrate his skills to navigate the vessel around sharp corners and under beautiful bridges.
