This book is a great resource for finding out practical information about venice. It'll help you find everything from good local food and shops to basic things like outlet converters. The listings are clear and more highly detailed than in any other guide I've seen. Highly recommend!

This is the book for anyone who wants to know Venice beyond the tourist attractions. There is so much more to Venice and if you only see 10% of what's here you'll have an experience your friends will envy. That, and, with the great walking directions, you'll get a lot of exercise but never get lost. A must have guide.
