Time Out Venice: Verona, Treviso and the Veneto
Think 'Venice,' and images of gondolas drifting along misty canals and pigeon-feeding visitors dwarfed by the splendor of St. Mark's and its square come unavoidably to mind. If it's Venetian icons visitors are after, this magical city will never disappoint.
But for a more rounded experience, the longtime residents and experts who have contributed to the fifth edition of Time Out Venice lead travelers down back streets and into campi and calli where few tourists tread: to hidden churches with hidden artworks; to architectural and sculptural gems in concealed courtyards; and to districts where the everyday life of Venice goes on in time-honored, washing-festooned, market-haggling fashion.
This guide explores every inch of the fabled city on water, with particular attention paid to mid-price and alternative accommodations and dining venues, and covers the entire Veneto region: its other historic cities, rolling vine-covered hills, ski resorts, and surprisingly wild club scene.
