Ride Venice's iconic vessel

Riding a gondola is on many people's bucket lists, and it’s truly as unique to Venice as it gets.

A 30-minute gondola ride has a fixed price set by the city: €90 during the day and €110 in the evening or at night.

This price is per boat, not per person, and each gondola can carry up to 5 passengers.

Just keep in mind: payment is cash only.

Traveling solo or without cash?

Shared gondola rides can be booked online for a more budget-friendly option.
