- Safety in Venice: acqua alta, crowds, rules
A city with low violent crime but frequent pickpocketing at crowded points (Santa Lucia station, line 1 and 2 vaporetti, San Marco, Rialto). The specific risk is acqua alta: subscribe to the Tide Centre alerts, know the sirens and the walkway routes. The municipal regulation fines swimming in canals, sitting on monuments and cycling in the historic centre.
