Unusual Facts About Gondolas - as part of the travel series by GeoBeats.
Here are 5 uncommon facts about gondolas.
Gondolas are a popular mode of tourist transportation and are well-known in some Florida cities; Cambridge, England; and especially in Venice, Italy.
Rules about piloting gondolas vary, as in Cambridge, tourists are allowed to do it, while Venice requires a special license.
In Venice, all gondolas are required to be painted black except for those belonging to a high official.
Gondola pilots do not actually row, rather they "punt" the craft along by pushing off the bottom with a long pole.
Gondolas can range in size from fitting two people and a pilot to having room for ten or more people.
