After more than 50 (yes, 50) trips to Venice over the last two decades, I’ve finally compiled everything I know and love about this magical city into a comprehensive Google Map.

With over 6,000 views and counting, ‘Courtney’s Venice: The Map’ is your ultimate pocket guide to the city’s best, most authentic establishments.

You’ll find nearly 150 pinned locations spread across six categories including:

  • Over 60 cafes, bars, and restaurants including the most authentic Venetian restaurants, divine bakeries, wine bars, gelaterias, and places to eat non-Italian food.
  • 25+ authentic shops where you can purchase the most incredible gifts to take home and treasure.
  • More than 20 points of historical and/or cultural significance.
  • A dozen of my favourite photo spots – whether you’re after architectural shots or the perfect selfie!
  • My top ten favourite accommodation options, from budget to ultra-luxury.
  • A useful list of important services and and logistical locations including safe (bank-operated) cash machines, English-speaking pharmacies, baggage storage options, my favourite gondola stations, and more.

My map is updated at least once per year so, unlike a guide book, it always remains current – reflecting any exciting new openings, changes of address, or sad closures.
