Gondolas are one of the most iconic symbols of Venice, Italy. These long, narrow boats are traditionally painted black, and they are propelled by a single oarsman using a long, flat paddle.

Gondolas have been used as a form of transportation in Venice since the 11th century. Originally, they were used for everything from transportation of goods to ferrying people around the city. However, as Venice became more prosperous, gondolas became more associated with leisure activities and tourism.

Today, gondolas are primarily used for sightseeing and romantic rides through the canals of Venice. Tourists can hire a gondola for a private ride or join a group tour. A typical gondola ride lasts around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the route taken.
