Hear the story behind the boat on the Grand Canal Gondola Ride with Storytelling and Gondola Gallery. After a guided walk and a virtual reality look at old Venice, you glide through side canals and onto the Grand Canal.

📖

Full description

An introductory walk of around 20 minutes sets the historical context before you board for a roughly 30-minute gondola ride through smaller canals and part of the Grand Canal. Depending on the route, you pass the area around La Fenice, waterside residences and the Salute church.

The Gondola Gallery displays sections of the boat, oars and workshop tools, and explains the felze, the covered cabin used in the past. A virtual reality sequence reconstructs historic Venice from the water.

Optional packages may add a walking tour or attraction admission, which are separate from the standard shared gondola experience.
