To ride a gondola at least once in your life is a staple item in most bucket lists, and perhaps even yours.

The world-renowned ‘Floating City’ includes many architectural wonders in its long list of attractions. For one, there’s St. Mark’s Basilica that has become the symbol of Venetian wealth and power because of its intricately ornate design, influenced mainly by Byzantine architecture. Across the church is Piazza San Marco (St. Mark’s Square) where the Clock Tower (Torre dell’Orologio) and Campanile di San Marco (St. Mark’s Bell Tower) can be found in close proximity. If you happen to stay at cheap hotels in Venice that are situated nearby, you can just go to the square anytime and perhaps enjoy feeding the pigeons that swarm the courtyard.

And of course, you cannot leave Venice without a ride on the iconic gondolas along the Grand Canal.

Among these are the Ca’ da Mosto, Ca’ d’Oro, Palazzo Dario and the Palazzo Grimani which were crafted in Byzantine, Gothic and Renaissance styles respectively. A total of 170 magnificent buildings line the margins of the Grand Canal.

The price of a gondola ride can be steep but you need not worry if you have stretched your budget by staying instead at cheap hotels in Venice.
