  • In certain seasons Venice may become flooded by what is known as Aqua Alta. Please be careful where you walk.
    The waters are known to get pretty dirty, use caution and make sure to wash any flood waters off you with fresh water.
    It is also important to be considerate of the locals and allow them to continue protecting and preserving their property without disruption from the tourists. Many locals want you to stay and enjoy the beauty and shopping Venice affords but they must go about protection first. For more on aqua Alta please see my Intro to Venice.

  • During the Aqua Alta many things come to a halt. The delivery boat is stuck between 2 bridges. If you are determined to stay dry you may become stranded as those on the bridge.
