Venice street plan from Michelin presenting on one side the city itself with the whole of Giudecca, & on the reverse maps of Murano & the central part of the Lido, plus a road map showing access to the city & the area around Mestre including the Marco Polo airport. On one side is a street plan ot 1:5, 500 covering the city with the parking facilities at Tronchetto, the whole of Giudecca, San Gorgio Maggiore & the cemetery at San Michele. The map highlights the city’s famous buildings & various institutions, but in places is not very easy to use for navigating the maze of small streets & passages. Street names are larger than the streets themselves, making it at times difficult to see connecting routes &, more importantly, bridges across the canals. Vaporetto piers are marked but without names of the stops & the routes themselves are not shown on the plan but a separate diagram is provided. On the reverse is the index, street plans of Murano & the central part of the Lido (both at 1:8, 000), plus a road map of the mainland around Mestre.
