A VIRAL video shows a group of Spaniards shocked to discover the hefty bill for beer and tapas in Venice, Italy.
In a clip shared on TikTok, the friends head to the famous Saint Mark’s Square, where it is often joked that visitors are charged for merely sitting at a table.
Even before taking their seats they spot the previous punter’s receipt and ask โare you sure we should stay?โ.ย

Despite their concerns, the group sit and order three beers, a coke, olives, crisps and bread sticks.
The video shows them laughing as they check out the prices.
Tap water? A cool โฌ10. Beer? Just โฌ18. Think youโll save by ordering Coke? Nope, the fizzy drink is still โฌ16.
A woman in the party complains about the uncomfy seats and points at the snacks saying: โThis is todayโs dinner. Olives, crisps and bread sticksโ
The person filming laughs: โIโll take the beer mat to remember this by.
โPeople are filming us, the people who drank beer in Saint Markโs Square.โ
Once theyโve finished their drinks the Spanish tourists take guesses at how much the final bill will come to.
The result? โฌ70, and thatโs before a tip.ย

Upon leaving the tourists commiserate, saying: โWell, weโve broken the myth that youโre charged for just sitting in Saint Markโs Square.
โBut you do get charged โฌ70 for three beers, a coke and four snacks.โ
