8Ignoring the Tide Schedule

Venice is notorious for its acqua alta, or high tide, which can flood the streets and piazzas. Tourists often forget to check the tide schedule, leading to unexpected and inconvenient wading through water.

Before you head out each day, especially in the autumn and winter months, check the tide forecast. Many hotels provide this information, and there are apps available to help you plan accordingly.
