If you visit Venice, Italy, you should definitely enjoy cruising in the gondola. The time to relax and sway in the waves while listening to the song of gondolier (gondola rowing) will be a valuable experience that can not be experienced in other cities. This time, we have summarized the market price of this gondola and tips for riding at a reasonable price even with a small number of people.
- The gondola costs 80 euros for 30 minutes and has an official fee
The official rates for Venetian gondola are as follows.
- Daytime 8: 00-19: 00: 80 euros / 30 minutes
- Nighttime 19: 00-8: 00: 100 euros / 35 minutes
Before, there were some price troubles in the Venetian gondola, but recently tourists It seems that the business is basically operating according to the official price, partly because the acceptance system has been set up. There is no need to negotiate because the price list is posted at the gondola platform, and you will not be worried about the amount of money as before.
Gondola prices are written in multiple languages and are easy for travelers to understand
However, modern gondola is just for enjoying the Venetian atmosphere while going around the waterways. Unless you are very familiar with waterways, it is basically up to the gondolier to decide where to go within the set time. It seems that it is possible to use it as a means of transportation as in the past depending on the negotiation, but please keep in mind that in that case there will be an additional charge.
Depending on the platform, you may pass through famous tourist spots such as Rialto Bridge.
- How to ride a gondola reasonably?
Since the usage fee of the gondola is the price of one tank, it may feel a little expensive when using it with a small number of people. For those times, here are some ways to get on at a reasonable price.
- Share with other travelers and get a great deal
If you want to keep the gondola price low, we recommend sharing it with other travel groups. The price of the gondola introduced above is per tank. Up to 6 people can board a gondola in one tank, so the more people there are, the cheaper it will be.
The letters “SERVIZIO GONDOLE” are the landmarks of the gondola platform
Near the gondola platform, I often see people wondering, “I’ve come to Venice so I want to ride a gondola, but the price is a little high …”. In such a case, it may be a good idea to say “Why don’t you share it?”
- If you have a small number of people, use the reservation-based gondola serenade!
Use the Venetian gondola wisely, knowing the market price!
Gondola Serenade is a gondola cruising that you book and participate in advance like a tour. You will have to share with other travelers, but the price is relatively low at 41 euros per person and you do not have to worry about negotiations.
Also, I am glad that the song of Gondolier (Canzone), which is indispensable for the Venetian gondola, is included. You can enjoy Venetian gondola cruising as you can see in movies and photos.
The cityscape of Venice, swayed by a gondola and listening to the songs of the gondoliers, has a different taste than walking. It will be a great opportunity to think of Venice in the days when gondola was used as a foothold for people.
- A gondola traget that can be ridden for only 2 euros
I’m afraid it costs too much, but I’d like to take a little gondola to commemorate it. We recommend that you use the gondola traget. A gondola traget is a gondola that crosses the other side of the Grand Canal, which runs through the center of Venice. It has been used as a foot for citizens for a long time, so you can ride it at a reasonable price of around 2 euros.
There is no timetable in particular, and a system that crosses over to the other side when a certain number of people gather
The boarding time is only a few minutes, but riding a gondola as a means of transportation for citizens, not for tourists, should be a valuable experience. For a while, you may feel like you’re a Venetian citizen.
When using, the signboard of “TRAGHETTO” is a landmark of the platform
