Pisa is bad too, it is just the tower and crazy tourist prices.

Venice kind of has a Disneyland vibe.

There aren't any scammers, the place is filled with history, and is relatively well kept and run. The flip side to it is that feels like a theme park at times.

It also has Disneyland prices.

I was in Venice pre-covid. I spent a day walking around and soaking in the sights and sounds. Sat by myself for an hour listening to some guy play the chello. It was beautiful. Never got harassed by street peddlers or scammers unlike in Milan. The architecture was beautiful like nothing else. Its a city trapped in the Renaissance era.

Terrible, not a real city, like the other person said, feels more like a theme park for tourists. Already did 20 years ago, last time i've been, never going back.

Pisa has a few other places, but you can see the city in a day and not miss anything.

We were in the mood for a chill day, so it was nice to just chill in a park and walk through some random old neighborhoods until we stumbled across a restaurant. There's nothing chill about Milan, though, at least not where a clueless tourist would find it.
