1."Time Out" Rome (Time Out Rome) by: Time Out Guides Ltd July 05, 2007

I'm quite a fan of the Time Out series when it comes to city guides. This guide to Rome was very good, we tried out some of the recommended restaruants and also found our hotel through this book, which was an excellent choice. The biggest complaint would probably be the maps.Sometimes it seemed to be a bit tricky to find what you were looking for.Also on a few occassions it appeared that eating places were not where the guide book said they would be or they were closed when the guide said they would be open for business.

2.The Rough Guide to Venice and the Veneto (Rough Guide Travel Guides) by: Jonathan Buckley June 28, 2007

Not only was this book helpful when choosing where to stay - information was accurate and relevant - it was also invaluable in terms of finding ways to save money (which is a must in Venice!). But the best feature about this book was its information on the places to visit. It saved us a fortune because we didn't need to buy guide books for any of the venues! The book is written with fascinating tidbits of information, many of which will make you smile and laugh, so be careful not to read in church if you're not prepared to stifle your laughter. If I had to say one negative thing about this book, it would be that the entry fees are now very slightly out of date... but if you add 1 euro to the price in the book, you're ... Read More:

I decided to read "Venice" in preparation for a week-long stay in the Italian city. Broken into three sections -- The People, The City, The Lagoon -- "Venice" is not a chronological history of the city but a meandering look at its past, present and future. Nor is it a guidebook, although it does contain a mine of information about what to see and where to go. I think "The Times" probably described it best when they said it was "a classic love letter to Italy's most iconic city", because it is, indeed, a beautiful missive dripping with exquisite descriptions. I found it an enormously engaging and evocative read by an accomplished writer who really knows how to string a simile or two together.For example: "Venice is a cheek ... Read More:

4.The Rough Guide Map Venice (Rough Guide Map) from: Rough Guides Ltd June 28, 2007

A very, very good map of Venice, with lots on it. In fact, perhaps, too much. You have to read this map in advance of your trip - become adept at finding a grid reference for a restaurant, for example, or a "sight" if that's what you are on your way to see. Good: - the public transport routes are right, though not very obvious from the map, but there's an official "venice transport" map on the back. - even the traghetto routes are right(a gondola ferry - E0.50 this year, 2008) - "road" names are clear and easy to read, if you've got the right glasses on... you reach an age..... - many reasonable restaurants/bars marked, but coded by cost, which means there are 20 or so entries marked as B on the map, the grid is crucial ...

I usually travel with LP so maybe I am a little biased but I did find this book up to their normally high standards. The legendary confusion of Venice's allyways meant I was wary of this book's maps (esp considering LP's less than perfect record in that regard). However I was pleasantly surprised and in 4 days in the city did not get lost using them. It was a little annoying the way they were split across several pages but i guess that was necessary to acheive the accuracy. The tips to the sights and the walking tours were exellent. The restaurant and shopping sections were ok. I cant comment on the hotels section as I was in an apartment. The prices (on everything) and some of the transport details were out-of-date. ...

7.Venice and the Veneto (DK Eyewitness Travel Guides) from: DK Publishing (Dorling Kindersley) 2003-08

very helpful if you are looking for a comprehensive guide to Venice. Spot on with it's information and giving an excellent overview of the City. Although Venice is an easy City to get around in and find your way, you might loose yourself in the many little streets. And then you want a reliable guide that gets you back on track. Gives great information about the usual tourist sites, but also invites you to make you own discoveries and lets you chose your tailor-made holiday. The only thing I would add is a guide to the best "Gelaterias" of the City! ;-) Wouldn't want to go on a holiday without my DK!

Time Out guides are uniformly excellent, and this one is no exception. We used it for the Lago Maggiore, not for Milan. The amount of information available for the Lago was not large, but what was there was very useful. TO guides are especially good when it comes to restaurants. All of the ones we tried were very good. The history section is also very interesting and well written.

I used this guide for a short break in Venice in summer 2007. I like the Time Out shortlist guides, this one was the first I bought and I have purchased some more after finding this one useful. One thing they are a bit short on though is practical information - public transport etc, and some of the details on visiting museums and which tickets to buy was a bit sketchy. All this information is in a short section at the back. However I liked the area-by-area approach, which certainly gave a flavour of Venice's different sestiere and made the book user-friendly. There is an individual map of each area too, but there isn't one of the whole of Venice, which would have been a useful addition. The guide is definitely aimed at the mid-to-high budget traveller, ... Read More:

This guide was a thrill to read as it encapsulated the typical guidebook style as well as giving me a new understanding of the city. The first time I went to Barcelona was on a school trip where we spent hours on a bus only to get off, stare at Gaudi's famous Parc de la Ciutadella for two hours (which, by the way is breathtaking) and then go home again. Needless to say I wanted know more about the city, so I bought several guidebooks looking for the one which would help me the most. Timeout helped me no end in planning my second trip and helped me realise there was a lot more to Barcelona than at first sight. Eyewitness and Rough Guide were helpful too but failed when it came to delivering their message promptly and concisely. In reading Timeout, I learnt a lot more ... Read More:
