Venedig abseits der Pfade

Off the beaten tourist paths, Wolfgang Salomon takes us into the much-traveled lagoon city and shows us Venice and its charming little details that cannot be found in any guidebook. Through several tours, illustrated with numerous black-and-white photographs, he leads us through a city that is new and unfamiliar even to seasoned Venice enthusiasts. Wolfgang Salomon reveals a new, quiet side of Venice. He takes us to places where the gondolas mourned, walks on the island of San Lazzaro degli Armeni following in the footsteps of Lord Byron, and visits the "backside" of the city of palaces and canals. He speaks with the guardian of the Jewish cemetery on the Lido, wanders through an abandoned ghost town on the edge of the lagoon, and brings us to the mystical Chair of St. Peter in St. Peter's Basilica. He enriches his walks with numerous cultural and local tips as well as typical recipes from lagoon cuisine.
