For open air art in Venice, you need only to look at the canals. Sleek and graceful, gondolas are a symbol of this most serene city. On a gondola, romantics glide through their own parallel Venice, experiencing echoes of the past, and reflections of once upon a time grandeur. For more information on the Rick Steves' Europe TV series — including episode descriptions, scripts, participating stations, travel information on destinations and more — visit http://www.ricksteves.com.

    When I saw this on our WTTW in Chicago I was so impressed with your trip. You gave me back my memories of my trip there in Venice back in 2007. I miss it so much!!! Thank you for your shows on PBS WTTW Channel 11 here in Chicago.

    i had a ride with my gf,.

    it was supposed to be romantic and cuddly and kissy and all...

    but having the gondolier behind you watching you during the whole trip was just akward.

    gondola ride is romantic? myth busted. it was just a ride ='(

    I went to Venice last year, and I have got to tell you that this is the most amazing, most exotic, interesting and unusual city I have visited anywhere in the world. I can see why it's so famous.
