Rugby Tours To Venice

Rugby Tours to Venice, the capital of northern Italy’s Veneto region is built on more than 100 small islands in the Adriatic Sea.

It has no roads, just canals including the Grand Canal thoroughfare.

Although no surviving historical records deal directly with the founding of Venice there is tradition and available evidence.

This subsequently has led several historians to agree that the original population of Venice consisted of refugees from Roman cities.

These people came to Venice due to the successive waves of Germanic and Hun invasions.

Benneton Rugby is the professional club representing the region in the Guinness Pro14.

The side also provide several players to the national side.

Grand Canal Gondola Trip

Enjoy a Gondola boat trip along the Grand Canal and through other canals in Venice.  Be ready to join in and sing when your gondolier gives you the nod he’s ready.

For centuries, the gondola was a major means of transportation and the most common watercraft within Venice.

In modern times, the boats still do have a role.  In public transport they serve as traghetti (small ferries) over the Grand Canal operated by two oarsmen.

For some years there were seven Traghetti, but by 2017, the number had been reduced to three.

Now elegant crafts cater for all the tourists instead of the various types of shabby homemade boats of the distant past.
