#5 – Feeding Pigeons in Italy

It is forbidden to feed pigeons in St. Mark’s Square in Venice, Italy because it is attracting more birds to this place. The implementation of this law seeks to prevent more pigeons, as historic buildings and monuments are increasingly damaged due to the presence and droppings of birds.

Pigeons are known to be birds that can carry dangerous diseases, and tourists who carry bread or other foods in their travel bag to feed them are at risk of receiving high fines.

#6 – Wearing Flip-Flops While Driving in Spain

It always depends on the tourist destination you choose and whether or not you are a more or less adventurous person. But many tourists like to rent a car and set off to discover a particular region – it’s a way of feeling more connected to the local culture.

However, if you do this in Spain, be careful to always wear good shoes or boots. Never drive on flip flops, open shoes or even high heels (worse if you are barefoot) because there is a law that prohibits such an act and imposes heavy fines on those who do not respect it.

#7 – Stopping and Preventing a Wedding in Australia

Everyone has watched a movie when someone enters the church and confesses their feelings for the bride or groom and the marriage ends at that time because the bride or groom runs away from the altar with the person who made the statement. Everyone can imagine this scenario, right? In Australia, it is more difficult to do so.

There is a law that prohibits such behavior (probably instituted by someone who has been abandoned on the altar) who obliges you to pay an extremely high fine and going to jail for a maximum of 2 years if you do it.

So if the love of your life is going to marry someone else in Australia, be aware that the possibility of appearing on top of a white horse to kidnap her or him from the altar and be happy forever can be very costly.
