A handy, pocket-sized guide to the best of Venice, plus daytrips
further afield.
Venice Pocket Precincts is your curated guide to the city's best
cultural, shopping, eating and drinking experiences, with each precinct
covering the best of Venice's sestieri. Venice is an improbable,
inimitable masterpiece. Emerging from the Adriatic as if by miracle, its
storybook palaces and churches burst with top-tier frescoes, monuments
and Insta-snapping tourists. But the place known as La Serenissima is
more than this. Slip into its calli (streets) to discover the city lived
and loved by locals; a maze of dirt-cheap, canal-side bacari (Venetian
bars), progressive restaurants and artisan studios crafting everything
from handmade jewelry to provocative ceramics.
As well as detailed reviews and maps for world-famous attractions
through to hidden treasures, this guide also includes a selection of
field trips encouraging you to venture further afield to Padua, Vicenza
and Verona.
Slip this guide into your pocket and head off on an adventure,
experiencing authentic places in Venice and surrounds like a local.
