You will still find a deadend

Regardless of the map you WILL find a deadend in Venice - turn the corner and there is no more - either a wall or a canal.

This map is great - thin and water-resistant (coated) overall
best deal for the price/size.

Good Map for a hard to navigate city!

I have travelled through much of Europe and I am a pretty good navigator. Usually armed with a good guide book and a map I can learn my way around in no time. Venice presented a particular challenge because of the canals, and narrow streets, alleys, plus the unique naming system. While I still was not often sure if I was going the right way, this map definitely was an asset and was the guide to the city that I have seen.

Highly overpriced poor map

This map was a terrible disappointment. It leaves out whole important sections of the city (the Giudecca, even the Lido!), gives only the main streets (thus making it much easier to get lost in an already maze-like place), and leaves out vital information found on standard tourist maps, such as water-bus (vaporetto) routes and opening times for museums. My advice: save your money and get a decent map for a few bucks when you get to Venice.
