Tourist Trap: Italian equivalent of timeshare salesman!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • When you are in the small campo outside the Doges' Palace, there will be men offering free trips to Murano. They will stick to you like ducks on a june bug until you say, "No", firmly. It is very easy to go to Murano by yourself. We heard from others that they felt obligated to buy something just to get rid the salespeople.

    At Least Do This: Just say, "No". Do not engage in conversation.
    Alternative: Take a vaporetto to Murano by yourself. It is simple and it is fun to watch all the boat whiz by.

     Your narrative about shopping for groceries was very helpful. It sounds like a great way to get into the culture and save on the food bill as well. I can't wait to put myself in your shoes -- in about 4 months!!!

     S. Maria del Carmelo is a great little church (I'm a fan of Tiopolo). Nice area to stay and you've put together a nice Venice page. Bravo ciao

     A good introduction to the practical side of staying in Venice. We'll be staying in an apartment on a calle off Campo Santa Margherita at the start of September so enjoyed your 'local' information!
