Sasek's beloved and nostalgic children's travel series. Like the other Sasek classics, This is Venice is a facsimile edition of his original book from the 1960s and is still timely and current in every way. The brilliant, vibrant illustrations have been meticulously preserved, remaining true to his vision more than 40 years later and, where applicable, facts have been updated for the twenty-first century, appearing on a "This is...Today" page at the back of the book. The stylish, charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek's witty, playful narrative, makes for a perfect souvenir that will delight both children and their parents, many of whom will remember this book from their childhood. This is Venice, first published in 1961, presents indelible impressions of romantic, watery Venice, where under a brilliant blue sky Sasek the gondolier navigates the winding canals to visit such famous and glorious landmarks as the Palazzo Grassi, Piazza San Marco, Doges Palace, and the Accademia di Belle Arti. Review: Another great one in the series though some baffling omissions about Venice - My (almost 4 year old) son is fascinated by all things travel, and since we must nightly read one of the books in the series (We also have This is... New York, London, Paris, Rome, Britain and This way to the Moon), I figured This is Venice would be a good addition to our library. And indeed, he is fascinated with this city of canals and bridges. The book spends a lot of time on the bridges, and boats, which makes sense as it is so unique. Neither Carnivale or masks are mentioned which seems like an odd omission, but it is, as always, a beautiful and informative book. The book is long, and is very fact filled; there is no storyline or characters you follow around. My child loved this but some children might find it a bit dry. Review: Great book for kids traveling to Venice - I bought this for my 6 and 4 yr old grandchildren that are going to Venice this summer. Their mom said the really enjoyed them ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #529,576 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #95 in Venice Travel Guides #517 in Children's Europe Books #931 in Children's Travel Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 132 Reviews | ## Images ![This Is Venice (This Is...travel) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7130GVKYBiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another great one in the series though some baffling omissions about Venice *by K***N on December 30, 2020* My (almost 4 year old) son is fascinated by all things travel, and since we must nightly read one of the books in the series (We also have This is...

Their mom said the really enjoyed them ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ one of my favorite entries in the sasek series! *by M***R on May 23, 2011* sasek's books are all visually lovely, no doubt about it, however they are also incredibly informative, which i quite appreciate. this book is littered with amazing images and interesting facts. i would definitely say this entry has some of the more whimsical (the pigeons page!) and exotic (the grand canal) images present in sasek's books. and as with all the updated printings of sasek's books, there is a welcome list of "this is the city...today!" at the end of the book with changes listed since the original printing. it is great to see both the way the city WAS as well as the present day differences. i highly recommend this book if you are interested in either venice, or simply in wonderful illustration. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/4495125-this-is-venice-this-is-travel](https://www.desertcart.id/products/4495125-this-is-venice-this-is-travel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
