Venice tourists get shock bill at outdoor coffee bar
Everyone knows the lagoon city can be expensive, but seven tourists from Rome got a bitter surprise when their bill for four coffees and three liqueurs at an outdoor cafe topped €100.
The scene was the famed Caffe Lavena in St Mark’s Square, where 19th century German composer Richard Wagner, who died in Venice in 1883, sat to have his morning coffee every day when he lived in the city.
