Whether you find Venice completely charming or utterly bewildering may depend on whether you bring this guide with you. No other European city can match Venice for sheer beauty, but finding your way on foot or by vaporetto is not easy. This is where the Eyewitness style, with its countless photographs, maps and illustrations, really comes into its own; the visuals are invaluable for finding your way and identifying what you see. Outside of Venice, the towns of Padua, Verona and Vicenza are all worth seeing in their own right, and are included in this guide as well.
