iPhone app Venice Art & Culture

VENICE, an app in the Art & Culture series, is something different in tourism: a cultural travel guide that offers comprehensive, expert coverage of all the sights and attractions, all the things to do and see, complete practical information and detailed maps.

VENICE is the app that takes you deeper, with a definitive account of the citys fabulous history, its culture and ceremony, its monuments and its art.
We dont do hotels and restaurants; instead, we offer a cultural companion that can enrich your visit like no other guide.

VENICE reveals every aspect of the Serenissimas history, architecture, art, festivals, personalities and oddities, in over 500 in-depth articles covering everything from Venices courtesan culture to its role in the invention of opera, from the secrets of the mosaics in the Basilica at Torcello to the story behind Harrys Bar.

Thorough, erudite and sophisticated, but written with a sense of fun, Venice: Art & Culture is the creation of Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls, authors of over thirty Cadogan Guides and experts on all things Mediterranean.
Its also the first in a new seriesArt & Culture Guides that is dedicated to bringing the old ideal of an informed, serious guidebook into the digital world.
