Tourist Trap: I haven't noticed nothing like...but
  • Tip Rating:
  • I haven't noticed nothing like this. When you are surrounded with so many beauty you enjoy each and every minute, so who cares if somedody is cheating you. However, some of the restaurants situated in the city center are no longer in the hands of the Italians. You'll be surprised with law quality of service and trash food which cost a fortune. Make sure your choice where to eat is the right one.

    Tourist Trap: Lovely but shortlived

  • There are number of Chinese people, all over the old core of the town, offering hand-made products like trinkets, souveniers and birds made out of palm leaf. I stopped for a while by this girl observing her extremely skilled hands in making another bird (or perhaps it was butterfly). She need about 10 minutes to make one of this bird and sell it for five euros. I both one of this (because she told me she is a student) and placed it to hang in my car. When I came to Verona, week after, the bird was like dry twig and ugly so I had to thow it away.

    Alternative: The alternative might be; buy yourself a big ice-cream, spending five euros on it, and watch the girl while working. Of course, ice-cream is shortlived too, but at least you'll feel much better.
