Rip off venice by IrishPaddy
well venice would be classed in my opinion as a wonderful city, though its the sheer greed there that is the problem.you have choice to walk the place else jump on the water buses that do the grand canal and the outside of the island, u need a water taxi or gondola for the smaller inlet canals. water boats are cheap and are the public travel, gondola's are a tourist trap totally, u easy pay 60 euro in day for 2 for short trip, 20 extra if at night. san marco squre is lovely though beware cafe prices, 7.20 for a cappuccino and 9 for a heineken PLUS 15 per cent service charge. and if a band is playing u pay ten euro more for the pleasure!!
a lot of rounding up in the city, though nonethelessa beautiful place worth seeing at least oncei loved the warmth for a start and the little bridges and bustling narrow streets, the archatecture is lovely and tower in san marco squre gives view of city, 6 euro for this priveldge though is robbery!
