Gondolas in Venice, Italy (photo by Kenn Stearns)
Taking a gondola ride through the canals of Venice can be very romantic, but costly – about $150 for a 40-minute ride at night. Gondoliers must wear a striped shirt, black pants, and closed dark shoes. Gondolas are just under 37 feet long, weigh about 1,300 pounds, and hold up to six people.
