  • No metter of its indisputable beauty, Venice can make you feel uncomfortable. When stroling around you might be choked by very bad odour, coming out from chanels network, especially if those short and narrow. There are places in the city where this bad odour is almost unbearable.
    Another danger are thousands of pigeons (flying mouses), which are "bombing" us from above and there is nothing you can do about.

  • Remember, exploring the town of Venice isn't a 100 meters race, you need at least a couple of days to see all the major sights only. To visit all the museums and galleries, add couple of days more.
    In case you're visiting Venice in the summer season, don't rush around, take your time and enjoy in every minute you spend here. The summer heat might caused you a lot of problems, especially if you're not used on it, walk slowly and take a rest from time to time. The most important thing is, DRINK A LOT OF WATER, in order to prevent the sun-stroke which might provoke you a serious problems! Take a good advice because I am very experienced about, you body need to take at least 5-6 litres of water during the day if outside temperature over 30 C degrees.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Getting lost
  • Tip Rating:
  • Is it easy to get lost in Venice?, neah I don't think so. Venice is relatively small town and very well structured. Every street, even the smallest one, lead you to one of the squares or canal banks from where you can easily find your way to the major routes of the town. Do not panic, even if you think you're walking in the circle and everything you see look alike. There are marks everywhere on the houses and you'll find your way. Sometimes it is good to be lost because you might see even more then you have expected to.

     Tried to find this lovely restuarant on the recommendation of a family friend last year and it was closed down (no tables/chairs, very dusty, newspaper over windows) :-(
