The characteristic gondolas that decorate the city's canals are a symbol of Venice. For many, a gondola ride is a must in the city on the water. This unforgettable experience takes you along the Grand Canal and through many smaller canals around St Mark's Square, giving you a different perspective on the sights of Venice.
Venice, known for its unique waterscapes, was built on a group of islands in the lagoon. The first canals were dug in the 5th century to connect the islands and create an extensive network of waterways. The characteristic gondolas, once lavishly decorated, were legally determined to have a black colour in the 17th century in order to equalise social status.
The gondolieri, the gondola drivers, are the guardians of this tradition and must undergo rigorous training in history, culture and navigation. A gondola ride through Venice's canals is an unforgettable experience that reflects the romantic charm of the city.
