A short, practical guide to discovering the city of Venice, with tips and addresses.
An open-air museum. How better to sum up Venice than with its St. Mark's Square, its canals, its palaces? So many images jostle at the mere mention of this destination. But like its courtesans who made its carnival famous, Venice has a hidden side... beneath the mask. A mansion nestled in a dark alley, a Renaissance painting lost in an unassuming church, a candlelit concert in homage to Vivaldi. Discover all these mysteries that make Venice so charming in this brand-new edition dedicated to the City of the Doges.
