Venice Gondola Ride: Day, Sunset or Night?

Select the day you plan to visit Venice, then compare the available starting times.

If a particular part of the day matters to you, choose the closest available start rather than relying on a general timetable.

Follow the booking guide when you are ready to select a time.

Start with the fixed parts of your Venice itinerary, then choose a gondola departure that fits around them. Select your date to see the available times.

• For a daytime ride: choose one of the earlier available departures.
• For sunset: check the sunset time for the day of your visit, then choose the available departure closest to it.
• For a later ride: compare the final available departures and select one that suits your evening plans.

Complete the booking only after the selected date and start time match the ride you want.

One verified traveller described taking the ride at sunset:

“Doing this ride at sunset was truly remarkable!” — Jana, United States · Verified booking

To plan a similar ride, select your date and choose the available departure closest to sunset.

Select your date and compare the later departures. Review your chosen time, ticket option and total before booking.

Do not choose a ticket based only on a general description such as “evening” or “night”. Choose the exact available start time for your date, then keep it with your mobile ticket.

Once you have chosen a departure, allow for the full version of the experience included with your ticket. The gondola ride itself lasts approximately 30 minutes, while some options add an introduction or another activity. See the full duration guide before placing another reservation immediately before or after it.
