Question 1

Q“I have a plan to go to Venice for the first time in my life. Is it true I can not wear high heels there?” Maria Ivanova, Krasnodar

A Evelina Khromchenko answers to the question of Maria Ivanova

Yes it is: the streets in Venice are ancient and often the paving is covered by rocks not by the flagstones. But the Venice rain is the biggest danger for your pumps

Hi! While in Venice you should be ready for surprises. If the whether forecast promises the rain – and that was my case – it means that you need more time to put you luggage in vaporetto. And also that you should not put on your best shoes even if you come to Venice with your boyfriend.
Now I am hidden from spatter. So while in Venice your perfect pedicure is absolutely needed. Sometimes you should leave your lovely Louboutins in a hotel and wear flip-flops. Water on Piazza San Marco can rise up to one meter and a half. In the worst case you could go by gondola on Piazza San Marco. In better case you should take off your shoes and go barefoot to vaporetto station. You need pedicure for this purpose.
