Venice Encounter guide

The Venice Encounter guide gives you twice the city in half the time.

There's just no city like it - and it's not only its shimmering, cinematic beauty that makes it so special. Turn down a backstreet or two and discover what goes on behind the scenes. Whisper with the opera critics in the balconies at Teatro La Fenice, get acquainted with a daily menu of soft-shell crabs and Bassano asparagus or cruise the lagoon and island-hop in a bragosso, the choices are endless!

This pared-down number is ideal for quick trips - it's less accommodation, more neighbourhood highlights and the best of local knowledge.

• Full-colour pull-out map and detailed neighbourhood maps for easy navigation
• Art historian and culture critic Alison Bing recommends the very best sights, restaurants, shops and entertainment
• Unique itineraries and highlights help you get a backstage view of one of the most visited cities in the world
• Local musicians and artists reveal Venice’s startling innovative streak
