5.0 out of 5 stars
Comprehensive and thoroughly-enthralling,
By A Customer
This review is from: Frommer's 99 Italy (Serial) (Paperback)
"Frommer's '99 Italy" is a comprehensive and thoroughly-enthralling guide. Darwin Porter and Danforth Prince, travel writers extraordinaire, take us from Cortina d'Ampezzo (gateway to the majestic Dolomites) down to the isle of Sicily, with its vineyards and aromatic citrus groves. The authors have gathered a treasure-trove of recommended sites, shops, restaurants, and accommodations in a dozen regions of Italy. To help keep readers from being overwhelmed by the abundance of material, Porter and Prince astutely begin the guide with a 15-page "The Best of Italy" chapter. Thus, there's little chance of your not finding out about some gem of a store, museum, or moderately-priced hotel. After the above, we're given a fine introduction to "The Land of Leonardo & Michelangelo." Then the authors cover all the details you need to actually plan the trip. Be sure not to miss the "Fast Facts: Italy" section. It's nearly worth the price of the book. This guide is a must-purchase for both lovers of Italy and Italy-bound travelers.

Best of the three travel guides we used for our Europe trip.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Frommer's 99 Italy (Serial) (Paperback)
This book provided us with valuable information on the best sights to see while visiting Rome, Florence, and Venice. The book also contained valuable travel tips on obtaining ticket reservations in advance. These tips saved us valuable time while we were in each city.
