Be aware that flooding no longer occurs only in the winter months. Even in June we experienced one evening of "acqua alta" (high water). It was only in Piazza San Marco and its surrounding area, but that's where we were that night so it did affect us. We were going on a moonlit gondola ride and the gondolier had to take a different route than we had planned, because the water was too high for the gondola to get under some of the bridges. Afterwards, we had to try several different routes back to the hotel before we found one not blocked by water. I didn't get a decent picture of the flooding in the dark. It was interesting to see for one night, but any more might have been a problem. I suppose we just would've bought boots and gone on...

Do not miss this magnificent church. The artwork, history, and craftmanship are incredible. This church is included in the Secrets of Venice Tour which is well worth doing - a great walking tour! |
