I don't like that watery smell resembling a kitchen after handling eggs or not well dried stuff but I would no skip a visit to the town because of that. | |

| Sep 3, 2014 at 8:37 | comment | added | user9533 | I think (and this thread has confirmed it) that it's more of an urban myth based on outdated facts. Which is what I thought. It seems to be something a lot of people say (who often haven't been to Venice) in the UK at least. @JoeBlow. Honestly I've lost count of the amount of times I've been told this. | |
| Sep 3, 2014 at 8:34 | comment | added | Fattie | Sorry I sounded abrupt! Really I just meant, did the guy go to venis BEFORE OR AFTER we now know they fixed the sewage smell. | |
| Sep 3, 2014 at 8:31 | comment | added | Fattie | Hey @Liam. You only mention two people, office-friend and girlfriend. Has office-friend been to Venis? If so .. WHEN? Could you ask on my behalf? Same for GF. | |

| Sep 2, 2014 at 13:51 | comment | added | user9533 | Well as an example, the guy who sits opposite me in my office @JoeBlow, but there are several. My girlfriend said the same thing when I suggested it as a holiday. I've been told it dozens of times. | |

| Sep 1, 2014 at 20:25 | comment | added | Szabolcs | I have been there several times (late winter to late spring) and never noticed a bad smell. It can be crowded at times though. During carnival time I saw narrow alleys literally get clogged with people. | |
| Sep 1, 2014 at 20:21 | comment | added | Fattie | Quite simply, it USED TO, but they completely fixed the sewage problem like 20 years ago. Just a myth now. | |

| Sep 1, 2014 at 14:55 | comment | added | CodeAngry | It might depend on algae activity. When I was there, in July some years back, it didn't smell at all. Of course there was the smell of sea water... but that was it. And indeed, it WAS crowded! | |

| Sep 1, 2014 at 12:16 | comment | added | DumbCoder | NOOOO !! Which buffoon told you so ? I just came back from Venice. Except for the smell of the lagoon and the sweaty people on the vaporetto, I couldn't smell anything else. | |
