Venice: Prince of the Adriatic, Queen of romantics, King of canals and palaces. Venice is pure Italian opera.

Like the famous Fenice Theatre, twice resurrected after devastating fires, Venice continues to flirt with disaster. The Venetian Lagoon which swells and floods Venice each year during the acque alta threatens to do so permanently unless a solution is found. But Venice continues to hold her head above water like a bejeweled diva swooning in the sea. Masked revelers during carnival seem like theatrical extras to a city that is always center stage. For the first time visitor, the pageantry of Venice is intoxicating. For the return visitor, it is addicting.

For hundreds of years, under the command of Doges, Venice was one of the most enduring sea powers on earth. Today, Venice is the most enduring tourist venue on earth. If you get caught up in the seemingly unending flow of visitors streaming along the main calles between the Rialto Bridge and St Mark’s square do not despair. STREETWISE® Map of Venice Italy will rescue you from your confusion and transport you to marvelous undiscovered parts of the six sestieri spread across the city’s islands. STREETWISE® in hand, you’ll feel more native than interloper.

Famous for its Venetian art, baroque palaces, mercantile history, and regional cuisine, Venice is a city that must be experienced on foot. Gradually, in dozens of churches, museums, and palaces, the extraordinary richness of Venice is revealed. So much to see, it will strain your neck and feet by the end of the day! You will still be able to count on your STREETWISE® Venice Map to get you back to your hotel or Palazzo.

The island of Murano has been a center of glass making since the late 13th century when it was ruled that glassmaking be moved from Venice out to the island to protect the city from fire. Glass makers were famous for being the first to craft mirrors and were also know for the curlicue ornate chandeliers they produced. Glass making continues today and tours of the factories and their ubiquitous gift shops are widely available. The inset map of Murano will help you escape the tour and find a lovely spot for lunch.

What Customers Say About Streetwise Venice Map - Laminated City Center Street Map of Venice, Italy:

This map is a perfect size for an inside pocket or a handbag. Being laminated the map can avoid getting crumpled in the way that maps annoyingly do and the print is clear and legible.

Perfect map for my trip in Venice.I love the fact that I can't destoy it if it gets wet.

If you are not great at refolding maps this is the map for you. I can fold it in any direction so I can have the area I want to concentrate on. This map and others from them are very difficult to destroy. Perfect for travel.

The streetwise map of Venice was not quite as useful as other Streetwise Maps I've used in other locals. However, it is waterproof, small, easily taken along, and easy to read. If there is anywhere that a second map helps, it's Venice. So just take it along, don't rely on it alone.

I think that they did the best they could while keeping the map smallish: it folds out to 8.5 inches X 19 inches. If I didn't have this map, it would have been much worse. I usually have a great sense of direction and Venice is the first city I've ever vacationed where I actually got lost when there was still daylight. (It is 8.5 inches X 4 inches folded up). The map has it's problems but that has more to do with the streets of Venice which have long names that often change every block. I don't blame the map-makers. This map is much better than the maps included in the Venice travel book we bought ("Top Ten Venice"), and I'm glad we bought it. We'd truly have been lost without it.
