Book your gondola well ahead for this very famous venetian evening, the third Saturday in July, in which an incredible fireworks display opens the Festa del SS Redentore.

To sample the fireworks from a gondola is a unique and unforgettable experience; usually the boarding time for this event is around 11:00 pm and it ends around 1:00 am. This is also considered a special service.

The price is negotiable and varies from traghetto to traghetto. Indicatively the price for the hiring of a gondola for the 2005 event from the Traghetto of San Tomà cost around 300 euro.
