Summary: Misplaced locations and incomplete information
Rating: 1

My wife and I recently stopped in Venice on our honeymoon. We followed this book's recommendation of the best pastry shop in Venice and found ourselves in a piazza with a store that had a gelato stand and a couple of muffins. We've tried 3 of these Frommer's dad by day guides now and are always underwhelmed. We were impressed with the Rick Steve's book for Italy which had a large section on Venice. Your hotel or any store in the area can provide you with a much much better map than this book has for 3 euros.


Summary: The only book you need for Venice
Rating: 5

This one book has everything–explanations, pull out map, and a useful dictionary. I bought other products and this is really all I need for Venice.
