Gondolas are found in almost all the canals,  San Marco and Rialto are some of the famous spots

How to make it memorable: Sunset is beautiful anywhere in Venice when the skies shifts from blue to orange and purple before turning dark, take a gondola ride during this time to appreciate nature’s dusky beauty as you sway gently as the gondola sails. Beware the price is a rip-off in most of the places, my tip is to find someone who can share the ride with you in order go light on your purse.
