The Guide to Venice (Murano, Burano, the 100 Year Old Restaurant, the House of Marco Polo, the Canals and Bridges) from Pearl Escapes 2017

I used to get extremely burnt out and couldn’t even handle booking a hotel or flight when I did have time off. I thought “Wouldn’t it be awesome if someone would write a guide that gave you one perfect escape; the hotel, sight, flight and restaurant.” So that’s what I did. (Although this one doesn't have a spa!)

My new series of mini-guides is specifically designed to give you the precise information, the recipe you need to have the adventure – without getting bogged down with too many choices or details.

Venice waits for you. It is the home of the artist, the writer, adventurer or madman (depending on how you look at it) for thousands of years. Their spirit abides, Marco Polo, Da Vinci, Shakespeare, Christie… haunting the canals, which demand exploration and defy explorers.
