Brief and to the point
These Eyewitness guides are really great because they give you the info to the point and they have great pictures. I am planning a brief visit to Venice (a few days before/after a cruise) so I was looking for a good guide of just the highlights. Already found very useful hotel and restaurant recommendations in this book. These guides are portable and a great companion on your trip. If you need more in depth info you can always find it on the net anyway. .

Perfectly Portable
I browsed all of the travel guides and bought several. I spent the past year planning a three-week trip to France/Monaco and Italy with my family this summer (2005). I love the large Eyewitness guides and I own the Eyewitness Guide to Venice, but you CANNOT carry it with you while you are touring around. It's too heavy. Plus, you don't need all of the background information at that point. So I read the complete Eyewitness Guide to Venice and the Veneto before I left for Italy and carried the Top 10 Travel Guide to Venice with me. I also carried around my Top 10 Travel Guide to Tuscany, which is excellent. So I disagree with the reviewer who recommends only buying the complete Eyewitness Guide; buy them both! One of the most useful parts of the Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide to Venice is the map of the vaporetto system; it is indispensable! Enjoy your trip to Venice!.

A molto buono pocketful of information
Edith showed up with this. I'd arrived with Fodor's, the Rough Guide and the Red Michelin. . . I hated the stupid title, but envied the size and weight. . . all my travel books were so big I needed a bag to carry any of them. Looking inside the Eyewitness Top 10, I discovered that it contained up-to-date, accurate information, maps, addresses and tips, as well as historical facts and interesting anecdotes and trivia. The dining information was reliable and the shopping tips checked out. When Edith left, I borrowed her copy for the next two weeks and found it to be a good companion. The other books were useful when I was in our rented apartment, but this one was by far the best to carry.
(For Venice's confusing maze of calles, pontes, and sottoportegos, you'll still want a large detailed map besides those in the book. ).
