Venice diaries: Picturesque locale, gorgeous sundown

Venetian gondola rides spell uber romance (you know that already). What we suggest is to time the ride perfectly by sunset time for some beautiful photographic moments. Select a late afternoon or sunset time trip and you will be welcomed aboard your six-passenger gondola by a traditionally dressed gondolier. Many times, the gondolier sings a love song for you or speaks about the monuments that pass by as he happily rows on.

Hold your lady's hand as you drift by top Venice attractions such as the Rialto Bridge, Palazzo Barberino and Peggy Guggenheim Collection museum. Lose yourself in the romantic melodies as you soak up the passing Venetian sights. It's truly dreamy during sunset hours. Try it!
