 Highly overpriced poor map May 3, 2005
M. J. Sweet (Madison, WI USA)

This map was a terrible disappointment. It leaves out whole important sections of the city (the Giudecca, even the Lido!), gives only the main streets (thus making it much easier to get lost in an already maze-like place), and leaves out vital information found on standard tourist maps, such as water-bus (vaporetto) routes and opening times for museums. My advice: save your money and get a decent map for a few bucks when you get to Venice.
 You will still find a deadend March 25, 2002

Regardless of the map you WILL find a deadend in Venice - turn the corner and there is no more - either a wall or a canal.This map is great - thin and water-resistant (coated) overall
best deal for the price/size.
 Was expecting more January 20, 2007

This is a Venice street map, laminated, folding into standard envelope size item. You can get essentially the same thing, only without lamination, from a tourist bureau while in Venice for free. A good product, but not an essential one to buy ahead of your trip to Venice - get it there.
 Most travelers will not need any other map January 2, 2007

There are maps with more detail, but this map is an essential. Lightweight, laminated (waterproof), pocket-sized, and with almost all the detail that most Venice visitors, new or experienced, will need. Fully-opened, it is still small and easy to use. A handy gazeteer lists many streets and monuments, with map grid locations. There are some very tiny streets/alleys that are hard to make out, but that is true for almost any
pocket-sized folding map. A guidebook like the Michelin Green will have some maps in it that may have more detail, but with this one, you needn't refer to the book most of the time.

Don't buy a map of Venice, unless you want it for its sentimental value. Venice is far too complicated to map properly; you'll end up more confused. Just follow the MANY streetsigns in the city and you will find what you are looking for. Besides, getting a little lost in Venice isn't a bad way to spend your day anyway.
