3.0 out of 5 stars Venezia, November 24, 2006

By	Linda "katknit" (CT, United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Insight Guide Venice (Insight City Guides Venice) (Paperback)

Lovely photos to inspire, interesting history of Italy, lots of cultural info, but for hard information about where to go and what to see, rely on something newer with more detail. You'll miss a lot if this is the only resource you use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good-looking but hard to lug, May 19, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Venice (Insight City Guide Venice) (Paperback)

Insight's City Guides combine stunning photography with literate text and a smattering of basic travel information. The Insight Venice guide is worth adding to your bookshelf, but its practical advice is getting a bit long in the tooth and its heft makes it less than ideal as a take-along guide. - Durant Imboden, Venice for Visitors, http://govenice.miningco.co
