The Venice Hoteliers Association website is offering “Venice and the High Water” promotions at 190 euros for one night’s stay plus “free use of rubber boots” and a map with “alternative pedestrian routes during the high water.”
There is also a reassuring message from hoteliers and Mayor Massimo Cacciari saying: “Don’t worry, there is no danger; high water is a phenomenon that quickly disappears.”

I would love to visit Europe some time. But being assured I can borrow a free pair of rubber boots if I come visit Venice isn’t comfort filling too me. I guess its better then nothing. But the fact that the city is sinking, the ocean is rising, and the flood projects haven’t really come to fruition yet means that winter time would be a bad time to visit Venice one. And two you should think about visiting soon as the place may not be around a long while.
