essential for before, during and after your venice visit May 29, 2008
very helpful if you are looking for a comprehensive guide to Venice. Spot on with it's information and giving an excellent overview of the City. Although Venice is an easy City to get around in and find your way, you might loose yourself in the many little streets. And then you want a reliable guide that gets you back on track. Gives great information about the usual tourist sites, but also invites you to make you own discoveries and lets you chose your tailor-made holiday. The only thing I would add is a guide to the best "Gelaterias" of the City! ;-) Wouldn't want to go on a holiday without my DK!
Yet another glorious DK Eyewitness guide July 1, 2007

I am a fan of these publications - they make it very easy to plan a journey, as well as providing a great starting point to find out more about the history of a city/area. This book proved very useful in preparing for a visit to Venice in February, and I would not have been without it. Of particular use are the aerial maps, which make locating oneself much easier when lost!

I'm usually a big fan of the Eyewitness series but this chunky guide has a few problems. I used it to find some information on the Peggy Guggenheim gallery and despite stating that it was one of Venice's most visited attractions, it devoted less than a page to it. The much shorter Top Ten guide on Venice (also published by Dorling Kindersley) gives it two pages and names it as one of the city's essential sights.
Also, the use of hand-drawn maps is not ideal. In particular one of the Dolomites succeeds in being childish rather than charming and doesn't provide the clarity offered by a computer-produced image needed by visitors to the region.
Overall I think the Top Ten guide offers better value and more balanced coverage, despite being much shorter.
Extremely easy to use January 2, 1999

Having just returned from a thoroughly enjoyable trip to Venice, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. The presentation was consistently excellent, and made navigation through the city's many winding streets easy. My only criticism would be the limited number of hotels and restaurants listed, though this is only a minor problem in such a superbly well-researched book. I'll certainly be using Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness travel guides for my next holiday!
A city like Venezia deserves a guide like this. November 10, 1998

The best guide to Venezia and the Veneto. The pages about the Grand Canale deserve an award for its beauty and first quality information.
