As of the last update in 2009, here are the current, standard prices for a gondola ride for one to six people, 40 minutes. The most pleasant rides will be from stations beyond the San Marco area (San Tomà, for example), as there will be fewer gondole jamming the narrow canals.

Gondola prices should also be posted (see the note clipped to the front of the gondola in the photo).
