A gondola ride — once, at dusk, off the Grand Canal

The price is fixed by the city: €90 for thirty minutes, €110 after 7 p.m. for six people. It is worth doing once, on the small inner canals where the boats can barely pass, not the chaotic loop in front of San Marco. Find a stand in San Polo (San Tomà) or Cannaregio (Santa Sofia traghetto). Ask the gondolier to take you into the rii — the narrow back canals — and avoid the singing add-on (€40 extra and aggressively cheesy). Dusk is the moment.
