These 5 fotos were taken within minutes of each other, late June. If you are considering a quiet, relaxing or romantic ride in a gondola, choose your time and place for getting into the gondola carefully. This looked like peak hour. How skilled the gondoliers are, never touching each other's gondola, passing and waiting for one to turn into the canal.
Even the motor boats have a little difficulty passing each other in some of the narrow canals.
Think carefully too before you take a ride in a gondola on the Grand Canal. Can often be very busy: other gondolas are not the problem... think of the ferries!
