Gondolas: Gondolas
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Favorite Thing: I really enjoyed exploring the back canals of Venice and found it just as enjoyable as being in St Mark's Square. It was especially entertaining if you came across a traffic jam of gondolas. It was nice to see them all up close as you can hear the singing or the playing of instruments on board the gondolas.

    Campos, Calles and Canals: Taking a boat ride along the Grand Canal
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: A must is to take vaparetto no 1 from St Mark's Square vaparetto stop in the direction of Lido, then get off and wait for the next one to arrive. You can then have prime position for taking photos/filming in the front or back of the boat and will start from the bottom of the Canal up to the top.
    Boat no 82 also goes up and down the Grand Canal.
