From the beaches to the Alps, from fine art to fine pasta, Italy has it all. With this book, you’ll trace Italian culture from Rome’s Colosseum to Michelangelo’s David to the bustling elegance of Milan. Experience the art-drenched cities of Venice and Florence, explore the ancient ruins of the Roman Forum, and learn how to avoid the lines at the most popular museums. Discover the villages of Tuscany and Umbria and the lazy rhythms of the Cinque Terre. Shop at local market stalls, sip a cappuccino at an outdoor café, and pick up a picknic lunch at an allimentari. Relax and enjoy the life of Bella Italia!

Rick Steves' Italy 2010 Review,
By
This review is from: Rick Steves' Italy 2010 with map (Paperback)
We have used Rick Steves' travel guides in France, Spain and Central Europe and have found them to be very, very helpful.
While it is true that Rick Steves' Italy 2010 doesn't cover the extreme southern part of Italy or Sicily, it covers the areas that we plan to visit, and in that respect, I feel it is fairly comprehensive. Of course, I would always recommend that one traveling to Italy consult other travel guides such as the Rough Guide to Italy, Frommers' Italy, and Lonely Planet's Italy. We have been successful in getting our local public library to order up-to-date travel guides on Italy, which are useful in planning our trip, but we purchased Rick Steves' Italy 2010 as the one guide to pack for the trip. I feel that it is an excellent investment. William D. Mashburn (Age 75)

This review is from: Rick Steves' Italy 2010 with map (Paperback)
Rick Steves is specific about what to see, where to stay and what you actually get, what not to miss and how to get to everything. Oh, and how much it will cost. I have used other Steves' guidebooks, and he is right on the money.

This review is from: Rick Steves' Italy 2010 with map (Paperback)
Just returned from a 17-day trip to Italy -- all the small towns and out of the way places! Couldn't have been possible without Rick Steves' book! We used it to determine train and bus transportation, B&B's and agriturismos, as well as restaurants, and, of course, the walking tour in each town.
With this book it is possible to see Italy away from the crowds, on your own, and at your own pace. Our vacation couldn't have been more perfect!
