Description
While gondolas were once used regularly by Venetians, especially by the more well-to-do; Vaporetti (water-taxi or water-bus) have become the main means of water transportation in Venice.
A couple of hundred years ago there were about 10,000 gondolas but today there are only about 500.
A gondola is flat, made of wood and is about 11 meters long, weighing 600 kg; it is hand-built in special workshops called squeri and there are still a few remaining today.
