Venice - Street Maps
 

I have been to Venice twice and always get lost (which I don't mind) but we were going to the opera and could not find the venue...can someone suggest a good, easy-to read street map of Venice?
thanks

I generally like the Streetwise maps, but on multiple trips to Venice with different maps I have to say I can still get lost.

Well my big problem is that I have a really hard time understanding maps. :) it is so embarassing and I wish there was a course that teaches you how to read maps. I do have a streetwise map but I am the kind of girl that loves to know "do i turn right or left"

how about a handheld GPS?

dpranck, I get it. You're like my husband, which is why I'm always the navigator and official 'map holder.'

how much are handheld GPS?? I have a gps on my blackberry but I don't think it would help me in Italy.

Jean,
hahahaahh I feel your husband's pain. I do all the planning and researching, etc., but when it comes to finding a restaurant that has been recommended to me by locals...oy vey...I don't have a clue.
