I've been on a gondola-ride before. It's a boat experience like none other I've ever witnessed. There's something remarkably relaxing in traveling in a gondola down a silent and calm backstreets of Venice. If you ever go to Venice, I'd highly suggest taking a gondola trip.

Imagine if samples of interesting gondolas had been preserved throughout the centuries, and a museum housed many of them. How amazing. Today you see one gondola, you have seen them all. Even though I have been to Venice a number of times since the 1970s, I never considered boarding a gondola, although it is a pleasure to see them go by, especially in smaller canals with quiet settings. For me there are two secret pleasures of Venice; eating cicchettis (especially grilled baby sepias!), and finding quiet areas where tourists never go. And, Goddess knows there are plenty of them for the adventurous visitor. Il Veneto is one of the magic regions of our planet.

I proposed to my fiancé on a gondola in Venice. Truly special experience. The skill of the gondolier is what impressed me most. There were more than a few times where I said “oh we’re definitely gonna hit that” in my head, only for the gondolier to perfectly place the boat within an inch of what I thought we were going to hit. The only thing we touched the whole time was water.

He visitado Venice 5 veces, desde el primer viaje en 1975. Me sorprendió y me enamoré de su belleza monumental y su arte... Es un lugar increíble y no se ha de dejar el paseo en góndola, sólo te divertirás si puedes permitírtelo; un paseo en góndola dependiendo de donde se tome, (unos 30 minutos), cuesta alrededor de los 100 €, (hoy en día), aunque pasear a pie es una maravillosa aventura. En mi último viaje, en 2010, la encontré bastante degradada... Los humanos tenemos esa "impronta" de ser grandes depredadores.

welshpete12 It’s called a ferro da pròra and it’s used to protect the gondola from collision and also as a counterweight to the gondolier at the opposite end. The ferro contains six prongs below the “Doges hat” which represents each district of Venice. The hat represents the Rialto Bridge.

martina14890 Venice is part of Italy now, but for most of it's history it was it's own city state. That is what the video refers to when it said "the most serene republic" and it had it's own language. Although very similar to Italian a lot of words for common things were different (calle instead of via for instance) and most visitors would speak Italian with the locals as they did not understand Venetian. Hope that helps.
