Fantastic Rome Guide! Visually Stunning!
I have used many Dorling Kindersley guidebooks and they are all as visually stunning as this.

This one keeps up the excellent standard. If you like interesting history and architecture and decent food then this book is for you.

This volume - exceptional value - is all you will need for your trip to Rome.

So, what's inside? Maps of all the important parts of the city, history of each area, important places to go with addresses and opening times. The travelers needs section gives information on places to stay and eat, shops and markets in the area and the entertainment that's available. I love the drawn "exploded views" of buildings - these are really quite superb!

In fact everything you could want to know and see.

There is just so much to see in Rome I can't possibly mention all of them here - but don't go without seeing the Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, Trajan's Column, the Forum, the Trevi Fountain... and 101 other sites!

I whole-heartedly recommend this DK book. Enjoy!

How a guide book should be
This guide book is excellent for visiting the city, gives practical advice for public transport and how to purchase tickets, and for each area of the city gives you ideas for where to stay and where to eat and drink. The guide is user-friendly and with its superb maps you can't go wrong. Our stay in Rome was enhanced by making good choices from the guide book. We only had four days and we used our time well thanks to the clever way the book is set out.

Rome Eyewitness
These Eyewitness guides are always fantastic and this is no different.
Can't fault it except it's a tad heavy to carry around all day!
