This gondola ride was amazing - so, so beautiful! We glimpsed St. Mark’s Square, saw the Guggenheim Museum, all the palaces…just all-around magical views, and I got gorgeous photos. A much better experience than the vaporetto! The skip-the-line tickets also very much came in handy - the line was HUGE. I’m glad we got a gondola right away.
Seeing Venice from the canals is like seeing a new city…you really only then experience its specialness. The skyline, with Gritti Palace and St. Mark Square and other beautiful buildings, against the lagoon and all the boats are truly amazing. Our walking tour guide Emma was also great - I’m glad that portion was included as we learned some history.

Interesting facts about gondolas
- Gondolas have been around since at least the 11th century. The first documented evidence is from 1094, but they might even be older.
- Gondolas are made out of eight types of wood: cherry, elm, fir, larch, lime, mahogany, oak, and walnut.
- Gondolas are lopsided on purpose. By balancing to one side, they balance out the gondolier's weight.

- The gondola might be shared with other guests, as there is a maximum of five people per gondola.

- It is necessary for all visitors to carry a photo ID on them - a national identity card or a passport.
