The Fodor's guide is the best guide to Italy out of all the other major travel guide brands. I looked at all of the books and eventually chose this one.

Just as a background, I will be going to Italy (Venice, Florence, Rome) on an educational trip in 2009.

This guide will give an overview of each area (eateries, places to see, things to do, hotels) but then gives a detailed list of everything. Maps are provided for easy locating.

There is also a giant tear-out map which is also a plus.

This book was considered alongside Lonely Planet, Frommers, and Rick Steve.

I will definitely get the 2009!

This book is an excellent tool if you are going to Italy...visited 10 cities and several side excursions..used the book for EVERYTHING I needed to know where ever I was!! Certainly worth the price...don't leave home without it!!

I just got this last night and let me say, I cant put it down. It has so much info. If you like wine tasting , try these areas,,or hiking,try this region. It has lots of tips and is well written and going to be a great help when I make it to Italy. If you are looking for a good book to help narrow down areas you want to see like I was,this is the book for you.
Enjoy and Ciao!

I bought this as one of several travel books to help plan my trip to Italy. This book was by far my favorite!! Easy to find information you need, and the only travel book that got packed.

I'm going to Italy this month and will be traveling to Rome, Venice, Florence, and Naples. Since this will be my first time traveling to Italy I felt that I needed to purchase a good travel guide. I looked at a few and read some of the reviews on this one and decided that this was the one that I needed. I'm very happy with this travel guide and it's going with me. It has all the necessary information on the main attractions, resturants, hotels, plus safety tips and more. There's information on all the places that I'm interested in seeing. I would highly recommend this book to anyone going to Italy!
