Rick Steves' friendly, relaxed style is very appealing, and he does have a way of imparting not only WHAT you should see, but when you should see it and how you might come to enjoy it more. I also enjoy his "back door" philosophy, which makes Europe into more than just an "Epcot Center-like" attraction. His Rome guidebook is fairly small and lightweight as well, which is a plus for those who take his sage advice and pack light!

Experienced world traveler and writer Rick Stevens brings his usual talent for personalization to Rick Steves' Rome 2000 travel guide. Rick includes the best sights and activities in Rome; friendly places to eat and sleep (heavy on character, light on the budget); walking tours of Ancient Rome (Colosseum, Forum, Pantheon, and more); self-guided tours through Rome's most interesting museums and churches; and offers suggested day plans and trip itineraries that mix famous sights with little-known discoveries. As with his twenty-two other travel guides, updates on the hotels, restaurants and sights covered in Rick Steves' Rome 2000...

Rick did a very good job on leading my family and me through the city of Rome. He gave us great new ideas on where to go and see that i had never heard of before. His book was used to choose our hotel and the fantastci places to eat. I recomen Steves to anyone trevleing abroad.
