  2. Gondola The gondola is a traditional, flat-bottomed Venetianrowingboat, well suited to the conditions of the Venetian Lagoon. For centuries gondolas were once the chief means of transportation and most common watercraft within Venice. In modern times the iconic boats still have a role in public transport in the city, serving as traghetti (ferries) over the Grand Canal. They are also used in special regattas (rowing races) held amongst gondoliers. It is similar to punting, except it uses an oar to propel it instead of a pole.[1] Their primary role, however, is to carry tourists on rides at established prices.[2]
