3.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading, 12 Nov 2002

By A Customer

I am a loyal Rough Guide reader so I am not surprised to find this one as useful as I've found all of their series on Italy.
I can only repeat what I've said in other reviews READ THIS ONE BEFORE YOU START PLANNING YOUR TRIP !
This is particularly important for Venice which is the most difficult Italian city I've found to walk (or glide )around. It is very important that you choose the right area to stay in as mistakes are costly. The guide warns about avoiding a hotel near to Piazzale Roma and the Lista de Spagna and also advises that as romantic as the Grand Canal is it is noisey all night long!!If you want to make the most of your time the advice on getting around should be studied diligently.Your homework will reward you handsomely. The sections on politics and history make good background reading and as always their advise on Arrival and Departures is second to none.
It is a genuine good all rounder but should be used along with the Dorling Kindersley Guide to Venice and the Veneto which is much easier to use when actually visiting the city's attractions. They are both good on Venice and together are all you should need for a first visit. The section on the Veneto is also adequate for a first time vistor to the joys of Padua,Asolo and Vicenza etc. I heartily commend this book to you, particularly if you are planning your trip to Venice next year in the dark days of a British Winter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful pocket guide, 3 Sep 2004

By	S. J. Williams "stevejw2" (Leeds, West Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Venice & the Veneto - 6th Edition (Paperback)

This book seems to me to be the best of the guides for the traveller not too familiar with Venice. (Hugh Honor's Companion to venice and JG links Venice for Pleasure are wonderful books for those interested in more serious in depth stuff.) The RG gets the balance right between practical info and making a serious effort to communicate the real magic of this extraordinary city. The historical background is sound and the info about churches and galleries enough to whet the appetite. In my view much better than the LP which is so pedestrian and just plain dull.
