Gondola Ride in Venice on a Budget

A trip to Venice would not be complete without a romantic Venetian gondola ride down the Grand Canal.  It comes with a price, though. A 50-minute ride would cost around 45Euros per person (if you are lucky) and the price can only go up from there.

Budget travellers who would like to have that water-ride experience — minus the singing gondolier, tourist route, brocade seats, that is – could take the traghetto instead.  It’s  a public gondola ferry which costs less than 1 Euro.  Of course, for that price, you only get a quick ride between ferry points which basically, just lets you cross to the other side. 

A quick ride on an old gondola minus the frills for less than a Euro is not bad.  If you want to up the value, just use your imagination and romance your loved one during the short ride.
