Time Out Shortlist Venice

Beyond Venice’s best-known glories, in St Mark’s square and at the Rialto, lies a fascinating – but dauntingly complex – labyrinth of lesser-known and lesser-visited treasures. With the Time Out Shortlist Guide to Venice in hand, this world reveals itself to the visitor. Advice, explanations and recommendations from local experts and long-time residents are easily followed up thanks to clear maps with venues pinpointed.





    		• Reviews of the classic sights and venues in area-by area chapters


    		• Maps with all entries pinpointed


    		• Includes walks, itineraries and visitor basics, all illustrated with specially commissioned photography


    		• Every one of the restaurants and bars included has been visited and reviewed anoymously by critics who pay their own way


    		• Thorougly modern – we track Venice’s progress towards exhibiting one of the world’s greatest concentrations of modern and contemporary art


    		• Cicheto city – we explore the Venetian passion for snacking: what to nibble and where to do it


    		• Tourist trappings – where to find the best Vivaldi… costumed and otherwise. Plus the lowdown on the latest campaign against tacky gondolas


    		• Crowds too pressing? Follow our guide to the tranquil smaller islands of the lagoon. La Serenissima too serene? We tell you where to seek out the brightest nightlife across on the mainland


    		• Venice is the city of the menu turistico: our choice of restaurants tells you how to avoid the blandly international and savour true Venetian specialities
