I bought Streetwise Venice and when I saw this waterbus map I threw it in my cart. Boy am I glad I did. I've been to Venice before but never took a vaporetto because it seemed too complicated. They're fun! You can avoid the crowds that are on the main routes in the city. We finally made it out to the Lido where we had a great lunch (love that octopus salad). The water buses are on streetwise Venice, but I kept the vaporetto map in my pocket while my wife kept the regular map in her purse. For a buck ninety five it was a great addition to our trip.
I bought this map because the last time I visited Venice (years ago!) there was no map. It is now very tourist-friendly and signage is good, The water bus or Vaparetto map is readily available in Venice when you buy your pass. The watercraft routes change slightly to accommodate need, so I think that a map gets outdated.This map is too small to read and was not helpful on my recent trip to Venice. Buy a map in Venice and buy it where you get your Vaparetto pass. And don't buy one trip at a time, get the full 24 hour pass. You will understand why.
Don't go to Venice without this litte map. It's super small, folds into thirds and fits in a shirt pocket. Even though we rode the vaparettos only two days, it was great to have a quick look at the next stop and to plan where we could get back on, etc. I order the Streewise Venice map (also perfect!) and this Water Bus Map is included on the larger map. That said, this is still super convenient to just pull out of your pocket for a quick glance. On my way out of town I gave this map to another couple in the train station just arriving in Venice.
We have purchased other Streetwise maps and have found them very useful and sturdy. This map is so small in size that it is very difficult to read unless you have a magnifying glass available. I will locate a small one to take on our trip to Venice so I can uses the map.
This is the size of three business/credit cards which has crease lines for folding. So its small enough to fit into your wallet. But as far as the map goes it looks like the details are perhaps too fine to read clearly. I'll be bringing it along on my trip to Venice, and can report back after the trip. However, I have the feeling that there would be a vaporetto map readily available from Venice? I'll find out and update this review. Otherwise, this item is inexpensive so its easily recommendable!
This seemed like a great idea and would be if it rained. But I found the Venice pop up map to be my daily go to map in Venice as well as my Top 10 Venice book which comes with a laminated map.Nicely constructed but you can get the same map at your hotel in Venice.
If you also buy the more-useful Streetwise Venice map, then this is one page from that. It's the same info, printed in the same way, same size, as one part of Streetwise Venice. We ended up using Streetwise Venice a lot in exploring this hard-to-navigate city, and used the water bus map included with that, but never needed this separate one. It was a waste of two dollars and a small waste of space for us.I recommend getting the full Streetwise Venice, which folds up, and includes this map as one page, but not this separate map. The Vaporettos are actually less confusing than all the streets and plazas you encounter when you get off them, so you'll want the full map if you're getting around.
This is just one end of the Streetwise Venice map, clipped off. It would be useful if it were larger, but for those with the Streetwise Venice map, there is no point in buying this.
