  • These birds rival cats as the unofficial mascots of Venice, but you could be fined 1,000,000 lire for feeding pigeons outside of designated areas. St Marks Square and adjacent areas are ok. It was last estimated that there were 60,000 human residents in Venice and 100,000 pigeons.

  • If you are caught by high waters, under no circumstances be tempted, even if you see others doing so, to remove your shoes and walk barefoot. As soon as possible wash your feet and shoes carefully under plenty of fresh running water because the floodwater is saline.

  • Italy is as safe as any other European country. Italy in notorious for its pick pockets and gypsy children. One should always be on alert for these petty thieves, but a good offence is the best defence. Do not present your wallet or money in open areas (particularly on the Rome metro). Keep your money hidden preferably in an inside pocket or money belt.

     Keewee, you've done such a wonderful job on your Venice pages. You've hit the highlights and done it honestly and with enthusiasm. Those of us who love Venice appreciate such outstanding information about this beautiful place. Thanks.

     Fabulous page with brilliant photos. I am just back from Venice. These directly added 12 % service charge to restaurants bills is in my opinion a Tourist Trap. I never saw that in any other Italian city ...
