Summary: An affordable ugly duckling
Review: Black-and-white printing on uncoated paper make this paperback guidebook an ugly duckling next to its competitors. But the price is right, and the book is a useful guide to Venice and the Veneto region if you're on a budget. The fact that it's cheap may encourage you to tear out the pages that you want (or don't want), thereby lightening the load in your backpack.Durant Imboden, Venice for Visitors, http://govenice.miningco.co

Summary: A week is not enough....
Review: Up to the usual Rough Guide standards, this is a great introduction to Venice. It's restaurant and hotel suggestions are good, but it really shines in describing the city, and offering suggestions for many days' walks -- much better in fact, than several 'walking' guides we also consulted. Good maps complement a sensible layout of this maze of a city. The 'Brief History' does an excellent job, and prepares you for delving deeper with an extensive reading list.
