A sightseer touring Venice, Italy, has expressed her anger at Google Maps due to what she alleges were flawed instructions — resulting in an embarrassing plunge.
The Polish visitor recently shared a clip of herself descending steps into a waterway.
“When Google Maps tells you to ‘continue straight,’ but you’re in Venice,” the text on the screen reads as the widely shared clip plays.
As the individual proceeds down the steps, she loses her footing — toppling backward. The clip then depicts her tending to her grazed legs.
“How it commenced … how it’s unfolding,” the caption states.

Fox News Digital contacted Google Maps and the video’s creator seeking their comments.
The clip rapidly garnered around 300,000 likes, with viewers voicing their thoughts on the incident in the comments section.
“Seriously, what did she anticipate happening walking down stone steps into the water?” one commenter questioned.
One Instagram user commented, “Oh, that water … Honey, I hope you disinfected.”
Another individual penned, “A simple question. What were you contemplating?”
One person remarked about the woman in the clip, “She clearly intended to pause at the bottom step but instead fell in.” Venice has been struggling with excessive tourism and is actively trying to manage it. (iStock)
A user stated concerning the woman featured in the footage, “She clearly intended to pause at the final step yet ended up falling in.”
The same individual further commented, “She simply desired an attractive video and probably cut herself on the pointed shellfish situated along Venice’s waterways.”
Another expressed, “Individuals will resort to anything for attention.”
Venice has been confronting the difficulties of too many tourists for a long time. It has been endeavoring to address it through declaring adjustments to tourist charges.
The city launched a trial initiative in 2024 to impose a $5.17 (5 euros) entry charge on day visitors, with authorities hoping to deter visitors from arriving during peak periods, as previously reported by Fox News Digital.

Commencing this April, tourists will be required to remit the access fee of $5.17 if they’ve reserved four days in advance, whereas the cost for arrivals booked at the last minute — within three days — will double to $10.33 (10 euros), according to the city’s website.
This fee is applicable (solely on particular dates) to the ancient city of Venice, not to the smaller isles of the Venetian Lagoon.
Exemptions are applicable to inhabitants, property possessors, pupils, employees, persons with impairments, and minors under 14 years of age.
Pino Parisi, an Italian travel planner based in Connecticut, indicated he is witnessing a greater number of tourists journeying to Italy this year than ever previously.
“Venice’s visitor levies [are] not discouraging individuals from visiting Venice,” he conveyed to Fox News Digital. “I don’t believe it’s making any impact.”
As per the State Department, approximately six million U.S. citizens traveled to Italy during 2023.
