A gondola ride in Venice<\/strong> is the one experience almost every visitor wants at least once. Before you board, nail three things: what it really costs, whether private or shared makes sense, and what the viral \u201c\u20ac2 gondola\u201d actually is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick answer: the official private gondola fare at a stazio is \u20ac90 by day<\/strong> (30 minutes, 9:00\u201319:00) and \u20ac110 in the evening<\/strong> (about 35 minutes from 19:00), per gondola for up to 5 people<\/strong>. Online you\u2019ll also find shared<\/strong> rides (e.g. from \u20ac37 per person<\/strong>) and organized private<\/strong> tours (e.g. from \u20ac80 per person<\/strong>). The \u201c\u20ac2 ride\u201d is not a tour\u2014it\u2019s the traghetto<\/strong> ferry across the Grand Canal<\/a>, a short hop from one bank to the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
