Venice Marco Polo Pocket Travel Guide - with pull out map

Venice's beautiful canals and backstreet Bacari are yours from day one — this travel guide hands you the plan, no guesswork required.

Marco Polo is the proud map publishing partner for Race Across the World.

Whether it's your first trip or you're back to explore new corners, this Venice travel guide puts the city at your fingertips - from iconic sights to the quieter corners most visitors walk straight past.

Lightweight and pocket-sized, it's built for slow walks over old bridges, narrow alleys, and evenings watching the light fade over the water, with a detailed pull-out map to point the way wherever you go.
