This is a brilliant little book - small enough to put in your pocket, easy to read, funny, full of every kind of information you might want, witty, well researched - and ..... I followed the hints on buying a Venetian door knocker, and saved myself about £30! Thanks.

witty, excellent, the best I've read
15 Feb 1999
Format:Paperback
Although it's not as lavishly illustrated as many other guides to Venice, Facaros and Pauls have produced an exquisitely written, witty and erudite guide that reveals a fascinating side to Venice behind all the tourist schlock. It's divided into 6 walks and we followed every one religiously, and were never disappointed. Highly recommended
Loved it!

Another smart and informative volume from Cadogan, our favorite travel guides. Used thoroughly as we explored another great chunk of Europe!
Dana Facaros never lets me down!

Since becoming familiar with Cadogan guides during an extended stay in Umbria two years ago, these books have become my go-to resource for travel in Italy -- expert guidance, outstanding background information, informative and, frankly, entertaining.
Not only are the guides well-organized and user-friendly, they provide an appropriate level of detail and are very well-written. I also appreciate how the authors cover not only the important sights and destinations, they also point the reader to places off the beaten path. And they don't pull any punches, either; The author's opinions are refreshingly candid.
The Venice guide provided great information on the history of Venice, each of its neighborhoods, detailed maps, and all the necessary logistical info. for travelling to Venice. There is so much to see and do in Venice, with this guide in hand, you will be sure to experience it all.
