Taking your partner on a romantic date has just got cheaper and easier thanks to Google Street View, which now takes you through one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in the world, Venice. Now, all you need is a computer and an Internet connection to take your date on a ride in a Gondola down the canals of Venice.
Google had faced quite a lot of challenges when covering “The Floating City,” especially due to the fact that their Street View car or trike was inaccessible to most of the areas in the city. “It was impossible for us to collect images of Venice with a Street View car or trike—blame the picturesque canals and narrow cobbled walkways,” Google stated on a blog post.
Thanks to Street View Trekker technology, Google team has managed to cover those impossible areas to let everyone explore this amazing city with a single touch of a button. “We covered a lot of ground—about 265 miles on foot and 114 miles by boat” Google said proudly about their accomplishment. ”We also loaded the Trekker onto a boat and floated by the famous gondolas to give you the best experience of Venice short of being there.”

Head over to Street View and enjoy your trip to Venice.
