Venice, Italy: Learning to Row a Venetian Gondola 🛶

Season 7 – Gap Year: Mediterranean Europe Episode 9 Looking for a less conventional way to see Venice? Instead of a traditional gondola ride, we decided to book a private lesson to learn to row Venetian style. While it wasn’t as relaxing as being escorted around by a singing gondolier, it definitely gave us a new level of respect for these talented oarsmen. Watch our video of the trip, to see what it’s like: https://youtu.be/bFDWrdQeFzY. Gondolas are more than just a fun experience, they are a practical mode of transportation in the world of Venice. With 120 islands and 177 canals, this floating city is ruled by boats. It’s also home to a number of palaces, one of which we actually stayed in!
