Time Out Venice: Verona, Treviso, and the Veneto (Time Out Guides) [Paperback]

Anne Hanley (Compiler)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 22, 2005 | Series: Time Out Guides

A uniquely glorious repository of some of the greatest works of Western art, Venice has - naturally - long been a tourist mecca. Yet around its best-known sights, Venice can seem a victim of its own popularity, with a daunting concentration of souvenir shops and tourist-trap restaurants between the attractions. With the help of local journalists, writers and experts, the Time Out Venice Guide leads you to the corners of the city. It's in these backstreets that you'll discover Venice's truly excellent eateries, and its fascinating shops selling everything from hand-crafted spare parts for your gondola to handmade gondola-shaped shoes. The influence of the Venetian empire spread far beyond the lagoon, as does the territory covered by the Time Out Venice Guide. From Padua to Treviso, from Verona to Vicenza, the stunning cities of the Veneto region are explored and explained.

I've tried most every travel guidebook there is and the TIME OUT books cover the most extensive array of information. No longer will you need one book for the best sites and one for restaurants, etc. This one will give you pretty much everything you will need to know to have an enjoyable trip in Venice.

This review is from: Time Out Venice: Verona, Treviso and the Veneto (Time Out Guides) (Paperback)

I trust Time Out for background info (maybe I shouldn't?) but I've found that, particularly with this guide, they seem to like every listing they've put in (and there are a lot) without really differentiating between them. Not much help when you know you don't have time to explore everything...

i was really hoping this would be a great book, but i was severely disappointed. this was the only book i bought for Venice, and i wish i had saved my money. i ended up getting a DK eyewitness book and it was way better. the information didn't seem to be up to date, and we found better suggestions from our hotel.
