I have been to Italy five times and I swear by the Blue Guides! I was lucky enough to get the Blue Guide Rome for Christmas, from a friend, before the first trip and I have taken that same copy every time since! From hotels to restaurants, from shopping to sightseeing, you'll find all of the important information you need to feel comfortable traveling to Rome, and more importantly, you'll feel confident as you take your daily excursions around the "eternal city". The only other book you ever need to travel around Rome is the Eyewitness Guide Rome. With those two guides, you have all the important information and pictures you'll ever need and more! I highly recommend it.

This is quite simply the most informative, most in-depth guide book currently available on Rome. This book will not pretend to uncover the secret of the best restaurant or pensione in the city. Instead, it gives the reader a well-written synopsis of every important monument in a city so rich in myth and history. For the traveller interested in going beyond colour photos of the Pantheon, this book is indispensible.

If you want to not just see but understand, appreciate and live the history which is Rome, this book is your guide. It might not provide the listing of cheap eating establishments or the best bars, but it is a travel guide and a reference book that you will continue to use long after you have left Rome.
