    • Gondola rides can be very costly so choose wisely. if you just want to get around on a boat, take the Water taxi.

    • watch out for the African Vendors selling 'Gucci' 'Fendi' and 'Prada' purses. They are not real of course, but if you are willing to spend $50-$100 Euro for a pretty good imitation then go for it. You can always get them to come down on price if you say all you have it $x amount of money. It's alo funny to watch them run throught the streets when the Guardia di Finanzia comes by.
