Bought this book for a trip to Genoa and needn't have bothered. Expected more from Berlitz, but the book is inaccurate, very sketchy and on the end of the first day it went unceremoniously into the bottom of my suitcase and we had to go on the internet to get proper information on the city. What information was in the book was in a very poor order and not in-depth at all. For example, there was a two sentence recommendation to go up a funicular to get great views of the city - but the name of where the funicular went from was wrong and there was no information at all about where the track went, what was at the top (as it turned out when we tracked it down, nothing!), how to buy tickets etc... all the usual stuff you would hope to get from a guide. It also missed several places of interest, from historical sites to city parks. Save your money and just get the info from the Internet (until someone decides to write a proper guide on this city, which doesn't seem to exist at the moment).
