5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Italy Travel Guide!!!, December 25, 2008
By Emma (Cleveland, OH United States) - See all my reviews
I'm going to Italy for the second time in a few days, so I picked up this book, and it is GREAT. Not only does it give great suggestions about traveling, it gives you the history of every place you are going to. It offers advice on tours to take and where to head throughout the country, and also includes so many beautiful and colorful pictures throughout the book. It also includes a bunch of maps for all over Italy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Place to Start Your Trip, July 22, 2009
By Book Dork (Southern California) - See all my reviews
  
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought this book while preparing for a trip to Rome, Florence and Venice. Some helpful things included:

- Maps
- Traveling tips (currency, cultural customs, etc...)
- Museum and attraction information
- Hotels
- Restaurants
- Contact information for all places mentioned

The only criticism I had of it was on it's section regarding getting to and from Venice. The only options it gives is water taxi! Look into the regular bus line that leaves from the plaza west of the train station. Less than 5 euros to go to the airport (a lot better than 90 euros on a water taxi). Or, like we did, you can take a regular taxi for 35 euros.

This is definitely a great place to start and a great tool to use on your trip.
