Agreed with Hellachans, too many tourists. People don't really "live" in Venice. Tourists and foreign buyers of 2nd homes have driven prices up to the point where most Venetians have fled to the suburbs. There isn't much of a functioning city here so much as it is a tourist center.
But it is nonetheless a beautiful city, a victim of its own beauty.
