On the St. mark’s square alone, with a few pigeons? Over the Rialto bridge with no place to be afraid of? Vaporetto travel at peak times, and still, there is a seat? Everything sounds like Venice decades ago. But who currently in the lagoon city travels, you can experience something like this. Since the outbreak of the Coronavirus a tourist, stay away from the otherwise crowded place.

And this is also reflected in the hotel rates, as a sample search on the online booking platform Booking.com shows. A week in the five star hotel Hilton about costs in the March to the 1200 francs. The man normally pays for the same time in Three or even two star hotel. If you look at the price for a booking at the end of June, shows: The Hilton will cost then again the 3000 Swiss francs.
