Do you need practice rowing a gondola? Well many people from the courts have been asking whether they can practice paddling a gondola in the Grand Canal. The answer is a resounding YESSSSS!!!
When you visit Serenissima Repubblica Venezia, you will find gondolas near the Rialto Bridge, directly in front of the fish marker. There are several other gondolas tied up in strategic places along the grand canal. If you want to practice racing a gondola or to simply get a feel for the long paddle, just click "sit" on the gondola, jump on in the Gondolier's place, take the paddle that will be offered to you - and take to the water.
Some instructions will come to you
in soft green typeface they are not complicated, but it is good to read them. Every Venetian learns how to handle a craft, wether aristocrat or "popolano". Yet, I am told that few foreign aristocrats know how to handle boats or gondolas. I do not know, but if this is true for you, do do not be afraid. Try it.

It is Fun - It is Easy well no, not THAT easy... but it is still fun. Practice anytime you like.
Oh, and by the way, the Regatta is next Friday, remember?What do yo mean you forgot!
Forza, Venezia!!!
