Venice Alone: A Solo Travel Guide for Women 50 and Over

Venice, on your own terms.

Order an ombra and cicchetti at Cantina Do Spade near the Rialto, give a whole day to Burano and Torcello, and ride the vaporetto home from the Rialto stop by the bridge.

Eat alone: Al Mercà, the menù del giorno at lunch, the spritz hour.

See: Dorsoduro, Cannaregio, San Polo's market quarter, Murano and the Lido.

Feel safe: vaporetto pickpockets, the dark calli of Castello, acqua alta.

Day plans, hotels by budget and honest safety notes. EPUB ebook.
