Gentrification of St Marks Square Venice
Welcome to my blog, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
The authorities in Venice have had enough of bare chested, napping, takeaway munching, litter dropping tourists. They’ve employed six stewards to maintain respect and decorum at the much visited square. The authorities are discouraging cafes from offering takeaways and would prefer visitors to sit at cafes or restaurants.

I can understand why the authorities want to clamp down on what they consider to be anti-social behaviour. However it is a bit difficult to be such a tourist magnet and only attract the “right type of tourist”.
I visited Venice for the day on a cloudy, cold Tuesday one February. It was still really full of tourists. It is a wonderful city and I’m glad I’ve been there. I would recommend that you stay somewhere close to Venice, such as Treviso. In Treviso you’ll feel as though you are in the real Italy and you can easily reach Venice for a day trip.
