Pictures
from a Gondola Ride Through Venice |

In Venice, and in the world perhaps, there could be no
mode of transportation more enjoyable than a gondola ride. To experience
the rich visual images that Venice offers to those plying the waters of
the ancient canals, a gondola ride is mandatory. A beautiful
picture awaits around ever turn. For visitors that truly want to
understand the beauty and history of the Venetians, this experience
should not be missed.
Be aware that, depending on season and time of
day, a 45 minute gondola tour of the city's canals could cost as much as $150 (not
including a tip for an exceptional gondoliere who provides excellent
service or sings on request)
However to have a chance to step into the pictures
below, this price should not be a deterrent. The gondola ride was
definitely worth the premium price. I can think of no better way to
experience Venice.
