The Rough Guide to Venice and the Veneto (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
Customer Review: very useful indeed
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.
