 Time Out Venice: Verona,Treviso and the Veneto 
A uniquely glorious repository of some of the greatest works of Western art, Venice has - naturally - long been a tourist mecca. Yet around its best-known sights, Venice can seem a victim of its own popularity, with a daunting concentration of souvenir shops and tourist-trap restaurants between the attractions. With the help of local journalists, writers and experts, the Time Out Venice Guide leads you to the corners of the city. It's in these backstreets that you'll discover Venice's truly excellent eateries, and its fascinating shops selling everything from hand-crafted spare parts for your gondola to handmade gondola-shaped shoes. The influence of the Venetian empire spread far beyond the lagoon, as does the territory covered by the Time Out Venice Guide. From Padua to Treviso, from Verona to Vicenza, the stunning cities of the Veneto region are explored and explained.
