Without riding in a gondola, the city's iconic mode of transportation, you cannot say that you have truly visited Venice. Enjoy an enchanting, shared gondola ride along the Grand Canal and the inner canals of Venice. Allow yourself to be seduced by the beautiful Venice, which has its own rhythm. Explore it by strolling through the winding streets or the canals, or even better, by a Gondola ride.
Start your Gondola Ride by boarding from the gondola station Bacino Orseolo, located behind Piazza San Marco. The tour continues until it reaches the Grand Canal by traveling along the smaller, more picturesque canals, such as Rio dei Barcaroli, where Mozart's home is, and Rio dell'Ovo.
From there, on the right you will see the magnificence of the Rialto Bridge, which is the oldest bridge across the canal and on the left, you will see important buildings such as Ca' Farsetti, seat of the city hall, and Palazzo Grimani ,seat of the Court of Appeal. The tour continues to Rio San Luca where you can see Ponte del Teatro, the bridge between the façade of the church of San Luca and that of the Rossini cinema and Ponte di San Paternian, the bridge connects Campo Manin to Calle San Paternian. There you will see Palazzo Manin, residence of the last Doge of Venice Ludovico Manin, which is now the Bank of Italy's headquarters.
This tour will end again at the same boarding point, it’ll be a hassle free and not overwhelming tour. Share this wonderful experience with the people closet to you and discover this enchanted city with our Gondola tour.
