  The most popular romantic activity that you can carry out in Venice is riding the beautiful gondolas with your lovely partner while the gondolier sings you a serene song. This activity needs to introduction and it’s one of the most iconic things to do in Venice.
  What can be more romantic than riding a Venetian gondola with your loved one? Board the gondola from any of the main bridges such as the Accademia or from the Rialto Bridge at a rate of 80 euros for a 25-30 minutes tour.
