What I'm saying now can be very unpopular among Venetian business holders, but I feel like I have to correct all other VT suggestions that have appeared so far on this topic: tipping in Venice is NOT a local custom (!) The restaurant bills can include some surcharges (like the "coperto", which is the price you pay for the service handling), which should anyway by law be clearly written on the menu. But there's no tip, unlike the US or other parts of the world! So, this is definitely a myth, and in fact you'll notice it's all non-local people who claim that there's this "local custom" to tip 10-15-20% whatever. The true local custom is, you don't tip, unless of course you feel so thoroughly satisfied you exceptionally want to, and in any case it's few euros, not a 10 or more percent (!). Hope this helps, fellow travelers.

Hello Massimo,I watched TV, the programm about Venice. Very interesting! They told about some "devil brick" red colour. Does the every Venice person knows about it? Is it truth that it is better don't step on it? And where it is? Thank you, Maria & David | MikeStarr5 Sat Dec 1, 2007 03:09 UTC
