The Essential Book about Venice

by Red
(New England)

The Traveller's Companion to Venice is essential reading before you visit Venice. Hugely successful in capturing that sense of history and atmosphere which goes to makes Venice so uniquely different. Even better is the fact that the book is so easy to read unlike so many Venice guide books, most of which seem to be plodding at best.

On finishing the book I found I was literally chomping at the bit to get on the first plane to Venice.

Maria's reply: I know the book and agree it is well worth reading and certainly very different to most Venice guide books.
