Venice for Pleasure

More about the book

"The simple object of this book, in the author's own words, is to guide the reader to places he might otherwise miss and, having reached them, to tell him what he might wish to know and then leave him, preferably at a café, to admire, to enjoy, and perhaps be disappointed. The illustrations show the visitor, as he confronts a view, what his predecessors of 100, 200, or 500 years ago saw from the same point. The main part of the book describes four walks, each of which can be completed in one day. Maps, old and new, are provided for each walk."--Provided by publisher.
