Tipping seems to be the norm I think. A 15% service charge is added to all restaurant bills, however it is customary to leave a small tip for good service. You are now required by law to obtain an official receipt when eating at restaurants A 15-18% service charge is added to hotel bills. When all-inclusive prices are quoted, the service charge is already included. It is customary to leave an additional tip even when the service charge is already included. .

Venice comes alive during the city's major festivals. The spectacular international Biennale art show runs this year from June through November. Early September ushers in the Venice Film Festival, with regular showings of independent films and blockbusters alike. Grab a schedule and check out films in original language in the halls of the Palazzo del Cinema on the island of Lido, and in campi all over the city. .

A cheap (and more entertaining) alternative to the traditional gondola ride is to hop on a traghetto or traghetti (meaning ferry). For a reasonable amount you can take a cruise across the Grand Canal as the locals do. This is the only place they are used.

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. | HORSCHECK Sat Sep 18, 2004 12:59 UTC
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 ... |
