Description

Start your gondola ride by boarding from the gondola station Bacino Orseolo, located behind Piazza San Marco. Be lulled by the gentle sway of the lagoon as you move deeper into the minor canals and coast past lesser-known areas to see quaint corners and majestic palaces from a new perspective. The tour continues until it reaches the Grand Canal by traveling along the smaller, more picturesque canals, such as Rio dei Barcaroli, where Mozart's home is, and Rio dell'Ovo. From there, on the right, you will see the magnificence of the Rialto Bridge, which is the oldest bridge across the canal and is regarded as a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture and engineering. On the left, you will see important buildings such as Ca' Farsetti, the seat of the city hall, and Palazzo Grimani, the largest building with a view of the Grand Canal and the seat of the Court of Appeal. The tour continues to Rio San Luca, where you can see Ponte del Teatro, the bridge between the façade of the church of San Luca and that of the Rossini cinema, and Ponte di San Paternian, the bridge that connects Campo Manin to Calle San Paternian. There, you will see Palazzo Manin, the residence of the last Doge of Venice, Ludovico Manin, which is now the Bank of Italy's headquarters. This gondola tour will end again at the same boarding point, it is a hassle-free and not overwhelming tour.
