After sunset Venice hushes and glows.
Changes at night
- Fewer boats; more reflections.
- Temperature drop; bring a light layer.
- Bridge shadows deepen; ride feels cinematic.
Safety: Stay seated on turns; trust the gondolier’s pace.
Bottom line
Night rides are mood-rich and quieter — perfect if you love reflections.
