Gondola rides — Venice, Italy
![](https://media.guestofaguest.com/t_article_content/gofg-media/2017/08/1/49418/20686900_1902229053375700_4258870380799721472_n.jpg)
Taking an overpriced gondola captained by someone dressed like what foreigners imagine Italians to look like is one of the most corny and touristy things to do in Venice — and that's before the gondolier starts singing (which costs extra, mind you).
Instead, take a much cheaper traghetto, which is basically just a less frilly gondola that locals use to get across the canals.
