I am a big fan of Earl Steinbicker's books, and his Daytrips Italy book not only has information on how to do 40 daytrips within Italy (transportation, what to see when you get there,where to have lunch, even small city-center maps) but it includes walking itineraries for Rome itself. You could photocopy just the pages you want to take with you. Highly recommended for daytrip planning and executing.

I've used Day Trips in Italy - in this and its prior editions - for many years and its been one of my valued possessions. Mr. Steinbicker does a fantastic job of identifying fun and interesting places to visit and gives you the information you need to get started on an adventure. I've loaned this book to friends and they have loved it as well. My wife and I have visited Italy many times over the years but Mr. Steinbicker still has much to contribute when we plan our trips, or if we want to set out on a spontaneous side trip. This is not a companion that should be compared to a Frommer or a Fodor. It is a terrific book that will help with ideas and highlights to fill in your days by getting out into the country on your own. My highest recommendation!

I've used the Daytrip book while living in Italy for a number of years and it was very easy to follow. The walking maps were really great. Everything is much closer than it looks on the map. I'd recommend them to anyone taking a trip to Europe. I have the one's from England and France also. All very good.

Very informative and interesting purchased for an upcoming trip to Italy to celebrate our thirty-fifth wedding anniversary next year for my wife and I.
