We travelled to venice a few times back in the day .... it is a great city ... the reports of how crowded it is does put me off a bit these days ... however, it does have a lot to compensate ... if you go hang about and walk it at night ... the back alleys and smaller canal-sides are incredibly atmospheric after dark ... you can imagine cloaked figures bent on intrigue at every bend .... it still rates as one of the safest of all European cities day or night.
