    -  City trip Verona
Verona is located on the flat landscape of the Veneto plain, dramatically neighbouring the spectacular Dolomite Mountains and Lake Garda. It is the second biggest city in the Veneto region and the most prosperous in northern Italy. Favoured by the Romans in 89BC, once called "piccola Roma" (little Rome).

    - City trip Venice
Lying in the northeast of Italy in the lush Veneto region, Venice has been the gateway to the Orient for centuries. Historians say that Venice was born of adversity as inhabitants of the Veneto region fled from Attila the Hun to take refuge in the shallow lagoon. Modern Venice is easily accessible on foot, but for the less energetic, or the more romantic, travelling by water on a gondola or convenient (and less expensive) water taxi, is a must to view the various islets and sights this city boasts.

"Time Out" Venice: Verona,Treviso and the Veneto 
A uniquely glorious repository of some of the greatest works of Western art, Venice has - naturally - long been a tourist mecca. Yet around its best-known sights, Venice can seem a victim of its own popularity, with a daunting concentration of souvenir shops and tourist-trap restaurants between the attractions. With the help of local journalists, writers and experts, the Time Out Venice Guide leads you to the corners of the city. It's in these backstreets that you'll discover Venice's truly excellent eateries, and its fascinating shops selling everything from hand-crafted spare parts for your gondola to handmade gondola-shaped shoes. The influence of the Venetian empire spread far beyond the lagoon, as does the territory covered by the Time Out Venice Guide. From Padua to Treviso, from Verona to Vicenza, the stunning cities of the Veneto region are explored and explained.
Paperback 320 pages (February 2005); Publisher: Time Out Group Ltd.; Language: English; ISBN: 1904978339.
