2.0 out of 5 stars
Terrible misguided book, get the Cadogan Guide instead...,
This review is from: Insight Pocket Guide Bologna (Paperback)
This was probably one of the worst tour books I've ever taken on vacation. My husband I love to do walking tours, which this book had many. Unfortunately, the maps and directions they included were terrible. Sometimes the maps didn't match the directions, or the maps were completely inaccurate. This is a shame considering the book was published in 2006, so it's not outdated. I have to qualify this by saying that we've toured Europe quite a lot and have done tons of walking tours, so it's not like we were newbies. Additionally, the tours did not include many of the major sights in Bologna. In Ferrara it described the main cathedral in town as a disappointment, which I found odd considering it was magnificent inside (I realize this is subjective). However, it's probably a good idea to stay factual due to the subjective nature of whether or not a historic point is "a disappointment" or not. I would recommend the Cadogan Guide to Bologna and Emilia Romagna instead. It's not as fluffy and colorful as the insight guide, but it has 10x more information and the maps are accurate. The insight guide was nothing more than colorful pictures and I found IT to be a real disappointment.
