Publisher: Time Out, 2001

The second edition of the "Time Out Guide" has been comprehensively revised and updated by writers who live and work in this most romantic of cities. It leads you through Venice's famous sights and on into the magical labyrinth beyond: down tiny alleyways to echoing churches filled with art treasures, stopping en route at the restaurants and bars that only Venetians know. The Venice Guide tells you how to: eat like a Venetian - learn how to avoid the ubiquitous "menu turistico"; drink like a Venetian - learn to distinguish glass and lace handmade on the Lagoon from cheapie imports; row like a Venetian - the secrets of gondolier-style rowing - and where to buy wellies when the tide rises; live like a Venetian - full accommodation listings, plus extensive maps and all the practical information you'll need to feel at home; plus highlights of the Veneto - Palladian villas, Roman arenas and exclusive ski slopes ...all with details of opening times and prices.
