Just east of Minneapolis, less than an hour’s drive away is the city of Stillwater. Situated along the Wisconsin border and right next to the St. Croix River, Gondola Romantica gives couples a chance to enjoy one of the most romantic activities there is - cruising the river in a genuine gondola. There are several companies that offer trips along the river, but only this one uses traditional gondolas shipped in from Venice and trains their gondoliers in traditional methods. For a wonderful day out and a romantic and peaceful time, a gondola ride is a great choice. Has anyone ever taken a ride in a gondola before? Perhaps in Venice?
