About this title

From the Back Cover

While Renaissance Venice prospered, the lush terra firma of Venetia turned itself to enjoying life to the full, leaving a rich legacy of evocative cities and patrician country villas. This opinionated and funny guide delves deep into an extraordinarily diverse region. Dana Farcaros and Michael Pauls take you through the shimmering, watery beauty that is Venice itself, the art cities of Verona, Vicenza and Padua, and the serendipitous charms of Lake Garda. Beyond these they find local wines, Roman remains and frescoed churches, the improbably jagged mountains and wildflower-carpeted meadows of the Dolomites, as well as the Adriatic port of Trieste, with its unmistakable whiff of coffee houses, goulash and Mitteleurope.
Inside you will find: practical travel advice; over 350 hand-picked places to stay; over 250 restaurants, bars & cafes; 27 maps and site plans; color touring-maps; the pick of the walks and strolls in the Dolomites; local markets, Venetian festivals and gourmet shopping.
