Solid book, just lacking a couple of things November 16, 2001
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
I bought this book expecting that it would really get me to the out of the way places that the Lonely Planet television show always goes to. It did deliver on this account, and it turns out there are a lot of places that tourists just don't think about going to in Venice. It was good in giving preliminary explanations of things to see, but sometimes fell short when I wanted to learn more. It did help me get from Treviso airport to the city, but that wasn't much trouble. The restaurant section was pretty useful although they were still pretty touristy. I was glad to have the section on Mestre as well, but don't stay there, it looks like a pain to get into the city everyday. The map section was pretty detailed although you had to keep switching back and forth between pages. The language section was also lacking a couple of key terms like Sir and Madam. The pronounciation wasn't all that clear either, so I had to ask an attractive Italian woman on the bus how to pronounce some of the words...I'm not complaining too much. This is a good book for the person that is staying around for up to a week or so, and it was always with me throughout the trip.
