Going to Venice? Most guidebooks will focus on St. Mark’s Square, the Rialto Bridge, and Shopping. But if you want more, this book will take you to 100+ sites in the mysterious city of Venice. Crowd-avoidance is extremely important in Venice and this author demonstrates how to see the top places from other than the common viewpoints. An understanding of Venice’s profound history, eloquant & expressive art and unusual architecture will take you to more than a simple walk-through of this historically-charged city. A Non-Traditional Venice Italy Travel Guide 2024: Unlike your usual Europe travel guide, this book will enhance your trip with hundreds of ways to unlock the secrets of Venice. While everyone is standing around, staring only at the main attractions, you’ll wander away from the crowds, deep into this labyrinth city to take a selfie with a gargoyle, sip a Spritz, venture into underground tombs, or try baccala. Your Key to Venice’s Hidden Gems: Venice has a lot of well-kept secrets – even for the locals – and you can discover all of them. Venture into the Catacombs of San Zaccaria, get the best Grand Canal view ever, learn how to make glass, perfume & lace, eat like a Venetian (not like a tourist), visit the rainbow-colored island of Burano, and so much more!

Note from the Author: Writing this book was SO MUCH FUN! In fact, here’s a little-known secret about Venice: To get a taste of the true ‘personalities’ of the locals during the mid-to-late 1500’s, take a non-judgemental peek at page 118. Hilarious and unbelievable! Using my background in world history and archaeology, I dove deeply into Venice and honed its fabulous story into this one little book. Something that is very important to me as a writer is that none of my books were written to adhere to any particular template, as is so common in today’s travel books, I wanted each city to tell me how its book should be written, and to dictate the format of that book. I have also created similar books for both Florence as well as Rome.
