A gondola ride is a quintessential Venetian experience, and it can be especially romantic on a rainy afternoon. The gondoliers are experienced navigators of the city's canals, and they can take you on a leisurely tour of Venice's most picturesque waterways. You'll be able to see the city from a unique perspective, and you'll stay dry under the canopy of the gondola. Bring along a bottle of wine and some snacks to enjoy during your ride.
