After the heady years of the 'Neapolitan Renaissance' in the 1990s, this most stunning of Mediterranean-shore cities is working hard to consolidate its new-found self-confidence. In the TIME OUT GUIDE TO NAPLES local writers lead you around the city's famous monuments and hidden places. And take you outside the city, where more established holiday destinations continue to bask in the charm which has been attracting visitors for centuries: Capri and its famed piazzetta, Ischia with its hot springs, and the Amalfi Coast with its colourful villages dotted precipitously along stomach-curdling roads. All against the dramatic background of an azure sea and a gently smoking volcano.

Small book - Big content,
By K Wilson (Houston, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time Out Naples 1 (Paperback)
My friends and I recently returned from Naples and the surrounding area. We used this book and it provided valuable information on everthing from how to get there to what to see when you get there to choice little tidbits such as how to pronounce "Capri". For those of us who enjoy language, there's a glossary of terms that gives some of that extra knowledge that really adds to the enjoyment of exploring a new or even oft-visited area. The book also contains several good maps - even a street index to the Naples map, not always included with guidebook maps. There are also several inserts containing either a story about a historical figure or more in-depth information about a particular point of interest. It's amazing how much information is packed into such a small book. You can visit the region with this book alone and be well-equipped. I have purchased Time-Out magazines in London but I didn't know of the guidebooks until I purchased this one. For my next trip I'll certainly look for another of these guides. Good pictures too!

This is the essential guide book to Naples!,
By nunzia "nunzia" (new york) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time Out Naples: Capri, Sorrento, and the Amalfi Coast (Time Out Guides) (Paperback)
This book features all up to date and hard to find information about the area which is one of the most alluring and interesting spots I have ever been. There is plenty of off the beaten track sites to visit as well as great restaurants and bed and breakfasts. It is listed in an easy manner. My only complaint is the cover is a bit
thin in the paper department, curling already when I have had it only a few weeks. But it is sooo worth having if you are planning a trip to Bella Napoli. capri and the Amalfi Coast. Buon Viaggio!

An excellent guide,
By kubanna (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Time Out Naples: Capri, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast (Time Out Guides) (Paperback)
This is a thorough neighborhood-by-neighborhood guide of Naples. The food recommendations are all excellent, as are the maps and the suggested itineraries. The sections on historical and cultural background are also very informative and well-written. I stayed in Naples for over a week and was pleased to find that this book provided enough in-depth recommendations to go beyond the usual rapid-fire tourist itineraries. I have sought out other Time Out city guides based on my experience with this book.

First Sentence:
Naples - who hasn't ruled the roost here? Greeks, Germans, Romans, Spaniards, French, Austrians, and even Poles, have all influenced, for better or (more often) worse, the beleaguered city; and some suggest that the succession of invading rulers has contributed to the eccentric characteristics of its citizens, from the Neapolitan's sense of an eternal underdog status to a widely held mistrust of rulers, including the state, even the emergence of and continued support for 'their own' in the form of the omnipresent Camorra, the rise of which originally came about in order to 'protect' weak peasant farmers from greedy landowners... with a few conditions attached to make it worth the camorristas, while.
