Acqua alta: photo gallery

Acqua alta is when an unusually high tide - aided by rain, wind or low atmospheric pressure - invades Venice and floods parts of the city. For more about what it is and when to expect it, see our detailed article about acqua alta.

High water in St. Mark's Square

The crowds file along walkways - passerelle - in front of St. Mark's, with traffic policemen to oversee their orderly progress.
