Walking along the Grand Canal is a great pleasure. My advice - do not spare money for the gondola, it is very harmoniously combined with the canal. And where else can you ride it, if not in Venice?

Gondolas - seem to have been created exclusively for tourists, because locals only use vaporetto. Pleasure is not cheap, in the season it reaches 200 euros for a gondola for a 40-minute walk, now the gondola cost us 80 euros. The maximum occupancy in the boat is 5 people. Personally, I really liked the walk - a slight swaying, beautiful views of the narrow channels, gondoliers in a hurry to carry as many tourists as possible, and their OOOO-ee! , which spreads along the canal, so that the gondolier emerging from the corner can correctly maneuver and go around the boat going towards it.

Tip (! ) look for fellow travelers and pay a fixed amount, you can ask about it at the hotel, for example - it will come out cheaper.
