Un Ospite di Venezia |Event Calendar | October 2023-No. 10
OCTOBER IN VENICE There are several reasons to recommend a visit to Venice, even more so if it falls in the month of October. First and foremost, the mild climate that heralds the winter season but also offers the pleasures that only a few cities can provide. But what to recommend?... Without a doubt, the simplest things. For example, getting intoxicated by a lagoon sunset or strolling until you get lost (only to find yourself again) along the labyrinth of alleys; crossing the Grand Canal by water aboard one of the last gondola ferries or being captivated by the multitude of shop windows and boutiques, or yet, enjoying an aperitif, a coffee, an ice cream, a dinner while savoring the city's small squares or climbing one of the many bell towers and being enchanted by a bird's-eye view.

IL TRAGHETTO SU GONDOLE
Non molti visitatori sanno che al servizio turistico
offerto dalle classiche gondole, si aggiunge il servizio
delle cosiddette gondole “da parada”, cioè
di quel tipo di gondola dedicata a far da spola da
una riva all’altra del Canal Grande.
Antica istituzione, la gondola da traghetto è una
versione “popolare” della gondola oggi usata per
il turismo. Priva di ornamenti e condotta da due
rematori, offre la possibilità - decisamente meno
costosa - di provare l’ebbrezza di un passaggio a
pelo d’acqua lungo la più famosa via d’acqua al
mondo.
Il servizio, reso possibile grazie ad un accordo tra
il Comune di Venezia e l’Associazione gondolieri,
viene svolto tra le due sponde del canale attualmente
da cinque stazi (approdi): Dogana, Santa
Maria del Giglio, San Tomà, Riva del Carbon, Santa
Sofia.Il costo a tratta è di € 2,00 (o.70 con carta
Imob).
GONDOLA FERRIES
Not many visitors know that in addition to the tourist
service offered by classic gondolas there is the socalled
gondola “da parada” service, that is, a type
of gondola used for shuttling from one Grand Canal
bank to the other.
An ancient tradition, the gondola-ferry is a “downto-earth”
version of the gondolas used nowadays for
tourism. With no decorations and guided by two rowers,
it offers a - much less expensive - opportunity for
experiencing the thrill of passage at water-level over
the most famous waterway in the world.
This service, made possible thanks to an agreement
between the Venice Municipality and the Gondoliers’
Association, is currently carried out between the two
banks of the canal from five stazi (stations): Dogana,
Santa Maria del Giglio, San Tomà, Riva del Carbon,
Santa Sofia: the cost for one-way is 2.00 € (70 cents
with an Imob card).
