4. Leave the car keys in your car

This is the garage where you have to leave the keys 'Garage, San Marco'. This is also directly the most expensive garage and the closest parking in Venice. I parked here once, and I was also surprised when I handed over my keys.

Others say they do this to move the car and rent out the free parking spaces for the 2nd time. My experience was excellent and safe.
