    • Miscellaneous: I laughed when my boyfriend told me he meant to bring a compass to Venice but that he had forgotten it. But actually, it would have been a very good idea! The streets are quite narrow and maze-like, and I found it very difficult to get my bearings. So, if you want to get from one place to another as quickly as possible, or if you want to try and follow a walking tour on a map, a compass might be useful. Otherwise, just give in and enjoy not quite knowing where you are as you wander around!

     It seems like every Venice page has a picture of the Rialto Bridge, gondola's , and pidgeons in Piazza San Marco. MIne does also.
