 Go to Venice
 From the Cadogan Guides series. Venice is Europe's dream city of the imagination, cocooned far away in its magical lagoon. Streets of water lap against an urban fabric built to delight, filled with the colour-drenched masterpieces of Bellini, Titian and Tiepolo. And when your drunken senses can take no more, the worldly playground of the Lido and the Palladian villas of the terra firma are only a short hop away. Discover your own Venice - Packed with ideas -- for a decadent weekend, a Renaissance art glut or to party at festival time
- Taking you off the tourist trail to the Venice only the locals know -- from historic grand cafés to colourful street markets and dark, smoky jazz bars
- You couldn't be in better company -- Our expert authors and local researchers give the lowdown on the city, from splendid palazzi and glorious churches to silent canals and tucked-away boatyards
- 74 hotels and 116 restaurants, plus wine bars, clubs, late-night ice cream parlours, classical concerts, opera, dance and theatre -- all personally reviewed
- Find the life and soul -- 17 detailed maps, plus 14 pages of full-colour maps with grid references to help you find every sight and recommendation in the guide
- A guided tour takes you palace-spotting along the whole wide sweep of the Grand Canal
Read an Excerpt
'Best of all is the Cannaregio in between, still wrapped in the silence that once enveloped the rest of Venice. Crumbling and piquant, it offers one of your best chances to see the city behind the glitz; here children play tag on the bridges on the broad fondamente, without fear of knocking a tourist into the drink; shirts, sheets and some amazing examples of Italian underwear flutter gaily overhead; old geezers and cats soak up the sun in front of unnamed bars.' "...as well informed as the country guides "
