Gondola Ride

It was such a romantic experience to get on the Gondola ride in Venice. The gondoliers sang really good songs. Some of them were very handsome. The Gondola was beautifully decorated, it passed through the narrow canals of Venice. The visitors on the bridge waved at us. Even though it was quite costly, but worth the money. Truly a lifetime memory. Ambiance/Facilities: 10/10 Rating: 5/5

If you ever go to Italy, dont forget to visit Venice. The sunset was amazing. The people were very friendly. Not to forget the gondola ride, its a must. €100 per boat for 1 hour (Max 5 person) #venice

Instead of forking out a minimum of €80 for a 25-30 minute ride on a gondola in Venice, did you know you can have the full gondola experience across the Grand Canal in Venice for just 2.5% of the cost? This is all made possible if you go to ‘Gondola Traghetto’ which is only a short walk away from the famous Rialto Bridge. You don’t need to book in advance, just join a relatively small queue of people (even in the summer), pay €2 and hop on the gondola. There are a couple of drawbacks to this, one being you’ll be sharing the gondola with a number of strangers rather than renting a private gondola for your party. Secondly the gondola trip only lasts roughly 3 minutes as you simply cross the canal rather than travel along it. If neither of these things put you off then this is definitely a bargain and a must do on your trip to one of the most magical cities in Europe.

#europetrip #Venice #Italy A day is enough to stroll around Venice, Italy, also known as “The Floating City”. Venice is famous for its canals, architecture, bridges and more. You will get to see plenty of gondolas through the city canals. Venetian gondola ride is popular to explore around in Venice, it is an expensive ride. Expenditure in Venice can be quite high, so if you are on a budget travel, I’ll recommend you to stay in the mainland and take bus to reach the floating city. There are many islands around it, like the famous one Torcello, Burano and Murano. There are various of companies offers tour to these 3 islands. The price is competitive, you may check the price before you book for your tour. If you staying Venice for 2 or more days, I’ll recommend you to explore those islands.

Venice, Italy, a city of romance and mystery, floats on its serene canals and ancient waterways. As one of the most picturesque cities in the world, Venice is celebrated not only for its historical significance and architectural beauty but also for its unique water-centric urban design. What to Expect The city is a mosaic of 118 islands linked by over 400 bridges, with no roads, just canals including the grand Canal Grande. Gondolas and vaporettos (water buses) provide transportation around this car-free city, offering a different rhythm and perspective on urban life. The heart of Venice beats strongest in its main square, Piazza San Marco, home to the magnificent Basilica di San Marco and the towering Campanile. Experiences and Recommendations A gondola ride, while touristy, is a quintessential Venice experience. For a less conventional route, explore the less crowded canals where daily Venetian life unfolds. The Doge's Palace and its adjoining prisons offer insight into Venice’s powerful maritime history, and the view from the Bridge of Sighs is not to be missed. Art lovers will find a treasure trove in the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, one of the most important museums of European and American art of the twentieth century. Tips and Tricks Visiting during the off-season (late autumn to early spring) can help avoid the crowds and fully appreciate the city’s enigmatic charm. Be prepared for acqua alta (high water), which can flood the streets during this time. Comfortable walking shoes are a must as you’ll likely spend hours on foot exploring narrow alleyways and picturesque bridges. Lastly, always check the vaporetto schedule ahead of time, especially if planning to visit the surrounding islands of Murano, known for its glassmaking, and Burano, famous for its lace. Personal Reflections The magic of Venice was most palpable at dawn, walking along the misty canals as the city awoke. The sound of the water lapping against the sides of buildings and the soft morning light made for a surreal experience. Each corner of Venice tells a story, from the bustling Rialto Market to the quiet back lanes where the real charm of Venice lies hidden away from the main tourist paths. For those captivated by the blend of art, history, and romantic landscapes, Venice offers an unforgettable journey into a city that has mastered the art of preserving its past while continuing to inspire the present. #VeniceVoyage #CityOfCanals #HistoricVenice #TravelItaly #CulturalJourney #ExploreVenice #mytravelhacks#localguides#familytrip

There are many malls and hotels around the world that are styled after Venice, where you can see gondola rides, such as the Venetian Hotel in Macau, and even similar scenes in a mall in Shanghai. Since we're in Venice this time, we must take a ride to see what the original is like. 📌【Attraction Name】Gondola Ride Experience 💰【Ticket Price】80 euros/boat/half hour, 100 euros/boat/half hour at night, up to 6 people can ride. Usually, tour groups or individual tourists gather six people at the dock. The scenery is good, but the photo effect is not. If you want to sit comfortably and take good photos, it's best to charter a boat for two people. 📍【Attraction Location】There are many docks on the main island of Venice, Italy. The most common ones are here at St. Mark's Square, or near the Rialto Bridge. If you board a boat nearby, you can visit many core attractions and go into the alleys. 🚇【Transportation】 ●You can take a train to Venice: Take a train from all over Italy to Santa Lucia train station. This is the main island train station in Venice. You can buy a water bus ticket or walk to the main attractions on the island. It is recommended to book a hotel nearby. 🌈【Attraction Introduction】 👉Venice's waterways crisscross, and the streets on land are narrow and complex. First-time visitors can easily get lost. The core attractions are mainly accessible on foot. If you live on the outer islands, you can take a water bus. The wealthy can even call a water taxi. Follow the navigation to reach many places, and there are no cars here. 👉The sexy "gondola" is just a tourist project, not a means of transportation to various places. This black boat, because of its unique shape, exquisite hull, luxurious interior, comfortable ride, and the feeling of sitting in a luxury car, is still very popular despite its high price. (There are many rowing boats in the water towns of Jiangnan, China. The disadvantage is that the interior is not luxurious, otherwise it can be a bit more expensive). The boatmen here all wear tight-fitting knitted tops with horizontal stripes and a straw hat, standing at the stern of the boat, elegantly rowing a long single oar. These people are professionals and their income is said to be very high. Some can even sing. 👉Depending on the boarding location, each tour boat will have a different route. You can talk to the boatman yourself. Important attractions can be reached on foot, but it is very interesting for the boat to be in the wide Grand Canal or to go to some narrow alleys. This experience is much stronger than the gondolas in the artificially made malls. When the wide Grand Canal suddenly appears in front of you, and there is the evening sunset, the scenery is extremely beautiful. 💡【Precautions】 ●Pay attention to the passenger limit of the gondola, do not walk around on the boat, it is best to ask the boatman. Keep balance. ●You can bargain when it's not busy, you'll know when you go 🎨【Personal Feelings】 As a symbol of Venice, since we're here, let's not worry about the budget and enjoy the best experience.

Although many places are nicknamed "Little Venice" and have a peaceful atmosphere, it's only when you truly arrive in Venice that you can understand why she shines so brightly... The sound of Gongdola's oar cutting through the water is somewhat low in the narrow river channel. If accompanied by the sound of an accordion and the singing of the boatman, it would be the most beautiful sound in the world, and the rippling water would be the dream of the people living by the river. However, the perennial flooding is eroding Venice, and currently the ground is sinking 0.5 centimeters per year. Coupled with the rising sea levels caused by global warming, if not rescued, Venice is expected to be submerged by seawater soon. At that time, the gondolas here, the film festival here, the opera house here, and the delicious ice cream here will all become memories.

Venice is still the only city in the world that does not have a car. No car does not mean no road. Its roads are wide and narrow, and there is a small alley in the corner. The road surface is not paved with asphalt, it is paved with sea water. It is not a car that is driving on the road. It is a steamboat and a hand-drawn wooden boat (Gondola). The light and slender hull and the black hull are called gondola. It is especially suitable for the narrow and shallow canals of Venice. Each boat can carry 6 passengers, 1 boatman, and 2 people in the rear. Block, three left and right in the middle, the bow single seat, the boatman to see which side will stand on the other side to maintain balance. The boatman wore a blue-and-white strip or a red and white T-shirt, a straw hat, standing at the stern and swaying a long single paddle. The bow is slightly tilted, which offsets the weight of the paddle and prevents the gondola from turning in place. Legend has it that the Gondola, which has become part of Venice, is a boat created in the shape of the Venetian Governors hat. In short, its unique shape has already penetrated the hearts of people all over the world. Gondola also has some fine little details - golden angels, golden horse-shaped handrails, etc. It is said that the value of making this gondola is equal to a Ferrari. Gondolier, Gondola, Water Lane, Xiaoqiao, and another Gondola pass by on the water, nodding their heads and smiling, and there is no sound at this time.
