Format:Spiral-bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
Difficult things to get right are Tourist Guides particularly I would imagine, for single cities. The internet gives a vast amount of information on accommodations, with full details and pictures and often videos, and sites such as Trip Advisor, a plethora of reviews for each hotel or apartment. Likewise to a similar extent with restaurants.
So what does the average intending visitor to a city really need? In my view is for starters a spiral bound book that allows for easy use and does not keep 'changing' pages when put down on a cafe table or similar. Then it is essential to have good, clear street maps that can be easily read other than by the most optically impaired. The pages need to be comfortably spaced out with a good balance between photographs, maps and information. Other useful aids are suggested exploring itineraries, excursions, entertainments, shopping, places of interest, and a little bit about the history of the place. Bearing in mind that the Tourist Guide will be heaved around for many hours every day during the visit, it is important that it is sturdy, but not too heavy or too large that it will not fit into a handbag or large pocket.
The "AA Venice Spiral Guide", fits the bill on all of these requirements and more, and is the ideal accompaniment for your next visit to Venice.

Format:Paperback
Probably the most comprehensive and elegant guide to the city of Venice, with hundreds of photographs and color illustrations to augment the highly readable text (translated from the French by Anthony Roberts). The emphasis is on history, architecture, and art, but you'll also find a large section of practical advice and maps. The durable, flexible plastic cover is another significant plus. If you can afford only one Venice guidebook, this is the one you need. - Durant Imboden, Venice for Visitors, http://govenice.miningco.com

A very useable map. Very clear and uncluttered. A good size to carry around, it is also well protected with its "plastic" covering.
