Product Description

The Rough Guide to Venice & Veneto is your definitive handbook to this splendour-aching European City. From the water-lapped palaces along the Canal Grande to the buzzing Rialto market, the full-colour section introduces all of the regions highlights. With more cultural background than any other guide, you’ll find detailed accounts of all Venice’s monuments and museums, from San Marco to the far-flung islands and practical coverage of Verona, Padua, Vicenza, Treviso, and a host of other Veneto towns and sights. Opinionated reviews of all the best places to eat, drink and stay in every price range. The guide also takes a detailed look at the region’s history, culture, events, painting and architecture and comes complete with maps and plans for every area.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved a fortune in guide books and audio guides!, 29 Mar 2008

By	R. Cresswell "RJC" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not only was this book helpful when choosing where to stay - information was accurate and relevant - it was also invaluable in terms of finding ways to save money (which is a must in Venice!).
But the best feature about this book was its information on the places to visit. It saved us a fortune because we didn't need to buy guide books for any of the venues!
The book is written with fascinating tidbits of information, many of which will make you smile and laugh, so be careful not to read in church if you're not prepared to stifle your laughter.

If I had to say one negative thing about this book, it would be that the entry fees are now very slightly out of date... but if you add 1 euro to the price in the book, you're never likely to be upset when you arrive.

4.0 out of 5 stars very useful indeed, 16 Oct 2007

By	J. W. Reitsma (Haarlem, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just came back from my first ever visit to Venice, to see the Biennale exhibition actually, but while in Venice...
Anyway, I bought this guide blindly on account of positive experiences with the Rough Guide to New York a few years ago and I must say I'm quite as pleased with this one! The maps in the back once again proved extremely useful and in this case they included a frequently consulted map for the vaporetti or bus boats that are such an essential feature of public transport around this city. (Sorry, I don't much care for gondolas.)
Thanks to some pointers from Mr Buckley I have seen a massive amount of Tintoretto paintings, which was an unexpected delight, and shed a tear at the graves of Claudio Monteverdi and Igor Stravinsky. I guess visitors to Venice could do a lot worse than pick up this guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, saved our holiday!, 28 Jul 2009

By	Mr. D. H. Moffitt "Rev. Dom" (Cheltenham) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

So accurate, almost perfect. I may be a little over enthusiastic as the other guidebook, Frommers, was awful. It saved our holiday, with its detailed yet concise information and excellent 25 things you have to do. My only criticism is that some of the maps lack, enough, street names, yet this is a small price to pay for an overall great guidebook. I particularly recommend this along with The Hotel Londra Palace and Do Leoni on the lagoon.
