Go in the off seasons, which are now few. Seems there are crowds of tourists everywhere. Take the water bus which is cheaper and you can still get great views of the city.

Take a Gondola Ride in Venice

Yes, seeing Venice from a gondola is one of the "must do" attractions. But it also comes with a crazy price tag. And actually, my favourite way to see Venice is just to get lost wandering around all of the little streets. But if you simply must ride in a goldola but you're on a budget, then take a traghetto. These are the gondola passenger boats that ferry people across the canals. You'll know the difference as the drivers wear red and white stripes (instead of the classic black and white). And they only cost a couple of Euros. Sure, the ride is just across from one side of the canal to the other, but you can still say you've been in a traditional Venice gondola.

I feel like a gondola ride is a must do when visiting the city of Venice. We found one away from the main area that offered us a reduced price for a ride through the canals. It was a fun way to see the city.
