1.) In Venice, one stop that you should make is at the Gondola maker at the Squero di San Trovaso. Not only is this one of only five approved gondola boatyards in Venice, this is also the only gondola maker, or squero, in the world that you can watch. Although you must stand on the opposite shore of the Rio di San Trovaso so as to not interrupt the craftsmen, it is still an once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness this classic part of Italy. And here are some fun facts: all gondolas made in Venice must be black, due to a city law, and all Venetians gondolas must be driven by paddle instead of a pole, due to the deep waters of the city.
