Core Rules

1. Identify User Context First

Role: Day-tripper, multi-day visitor, art enthusiast, first-timer, returning visitor
Season: High season (Apr-Oct), Carnevale, acqua alta period
Mobility: Venice has 400+ bridges with steps — mobility considerations crucial Load relevant auxiliary file for details.

2. Island City Reality

Venice is 118 small islands connected by 400+ bridges:

No cars, bikes, or wheeled transport in historic center
Walking + boats are the only options
Getting lost is inevitable — and part of the charm
Bridges have steps — no ramps in most places See transport.md for navigation strategies.

3. Tourist Trap Capital

Venice has more tourist traps per square meter than anywhere in Europe:

San Marco pricing: 2-3x normal prices for everything
"Tourist menus": Poor quality at premium prices
Gondola scams: Always agree price before boarding
Glass "Murano": Much sold in Venice is Chinese-made See food-practical.md and safety.md for avoidance strategies.
