  Travel Map of Venice, Italy March 28, 2007 This is a great map of the city on water resistance paper. Will be with us while spending time in Venice. Have marked on it the location of items we wish to visit. We also have the Rome Rough Guide Map that we are taking on our trip.
  Perfect in a city where a map is a must-have! January 17, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This was a great map! If you want to go anywhere in Venice other than the Rialto bridge or St. mark's square, you will need a map. I put this map through hell, folding it every which way and even dropping it in a rain puddle - oops :) the map stood up to my abuse perfectly and was great for getting us around. we didn't have to find the TI to get a map, and i liked it way better than the nice map our hotel gave us. I highly recommend this map and will use others when we travel!
  This was my 1st Rough Guide Map and IT WAS AWESOME! January 6, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I can't even count how many times we used it on our trip to Venice, because Venice is one of those cities that once you go off the main streets, you will get lost without a map.
I love that it's rip-proof and water-proof, because I've used other maps and hate when they get worn from folding and un-folding. And since we'll be going to Berlin soon, I ordered the Rough Guide Berlin Map.
It had every street in Venice on it, which when you're navigating your way back to a main street or canal it totally helpful.
  Venice guide November 10, 2006 The book filled in and added some supplemental information. The book was not used as much as planned as sufficient information was also available via the internet and the local residents.
  I love Rough Guide maps and the Venice map is no exception May 13, 2006 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
I spent six days in Venice in April of 2006. After using the excellent Rough Guide map of Barcelona, I purchase Rough Guide maps when ever they are published for my destination. What I love about these maps is that they are complete, accurate and very tough. You can carry them around in your pocket, bend them and sweat on them and they still remain as usable as ever.
You cannot get lost in Venice in the sense that you don't know how to get back to somewhere familiar because there is always a waterbus stop nearby that you can take to some place you know. But the twisty pedestrian streets can be very confusing, ending in canals, so it can be difficult to get from place to place or to find a place you want to go to. For this you want the Rough Guide map. I walked all over Venice, including some off the beaten track areas where I saw very few tourists.
In summary: for Venice my advice is get a wasterbus pass for the days you are in Venice and get the Rough Guide map. Oh, and unless you like crowds and higher costs, don't stay in San Marco.
