STOP!
It’s a lovely warm night. You are walking across the Piazza San Marco. Music drifts all around you. You see live music being played and you decide that you will have a romantic drink. Just one drink. Then you get the bill! Wham! How did 2 drinks cost 40 Euros? They charge you for listening to the music! Per person!!

Alternative: Go for a drink elsewhere and come back and listen to the music - standing up!

They look harmless enough. The sellers I mean. You see groups of young African men in a lot of Campos (small squares) selling designer handbags, belts, etc. They say they are real, but it definitely is not a Gucci at that price. The Venetian Government has tried to stop this trade, but they are still there everyday because Tourists still buy it. If you buy it, fair enough, just know what you bought. The Government goes on about organised crime and poor people in factories in the Third World. I think they are more worried about loss of sales to large powerful companies. These young lads are always polite and do this to make a living.

Alternative: If you have lots of money, buy the real ones. If not I would suggest you buy it on the mainland where it will be cheaper!

Never been to a WH, but I know where you can get rice and beans. | deecat Mon Oct 27, 2008 10:11 UTC
Such clever insights. The Hidden Statue was my favorite tip; if I ever return to Venice, this statue, the "buzzer faces", and San Giorgio Maggiore will be on my agenda. | SLLiew Sat May 17, 2008 20:52 UTC
Venezia... one of the prettiest places in the world. Enjoyed your take. |
