Description

Is there anything more typically Venetian than a Gondola? On this gondola ride you'll discover the canals of the city from a different, romantic, and historical point of view.

Venice Canals Gondola Ride

The tour meets at the chosen time on Calle Larga Ascensione, near the famous St. Mark's Square, where we'll climb aboard our gondola, sailing the Venetian canals.

We'll explore the Grand Canal, home to some of the most picturesque buildings in the city. We'll make our way to the church of Santa María della Salute, and having admired it from the outside, we'll make our way around the smaller canals in the area which surround the Teatro de La Fenice.

After cruising through the canals on our gondola, the activity will come to an end back at the starting point.

Paseo en góndola muy agradable por canales silenciosos y poco transitados. Al final tiene unnpequeño tramo por el Gran Canal. Por elmprecio podría ser un paseo un poco más largo, ya que no llega a media hora. Translate this opinion into English.

A very pleasant gondola ride through quiet, uncrowded canals. At the end, there's a short stretch along the Grand Canal. For the price, it could be a slightly longer ride, as it takes less than half an hour. Opinion translated. Show original.
