Dos & Don'ts
› Do keep right along narrow lanes to let people pass on the left.
› Do offer help to people struggling with strollers or bags on bridges.
› Do say hello before you ask for directions; everyone gets lost in Venice, so
don't panic, and be polite.
› Don't season before you taste: Venetians believe fresh seafood doesn't need camou-
flage like lemon, mustard, parmesan or hot pepper.
