6 Things you can do at Venice Grand Canal Mall

Gondola Rides

Upon entering the mall, the first thing you’ll recognize is the blue water of the ‘canal’. Most likely you’ll see a couple of people taking a ride on the Gondola, a small long, narrow boat with a high prow and stern, propelled with a single oar. The Gondola Ride costs 500php per person. Boat paddlers, wearing the traditional gondolier clothing, will assist you in cruising the stretch of the grand canal. Though the ride is pricey, the experience itself is truly priceless. 

 

Food

Venice Grand Canal Mall is not only popular for its beautiful façade, but it’s also famous for its wide variety of restaurants and food stalls. You can’t go hungry after you had your long stroll along the Canal.

Take Photos

You can't go wrong with the Italian inspired mall, every nook and cranny is worthy for an Instagram feed exposure. 

 

Watch a movie

Its one thing to appreciate the exterior, however spending some tune inside the mall is different, watch the latest movie in one of their Cinemas.

 

Shopping

It's not only filled restaurants and gondolas but there are a lot of shops and boutiques inside the mall and sometimes they showcase a bazaar.

Taking a stroll

If you're in a tight budget and you just want to get some time alone, taking a stroll around the mall is another thing you can do. Walking along the waterway or just admiring the whole Grand Canal from the bridge.
