.The Rough Guide to Rome (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

by: Martin Dunford

June 28, 2007
As the other reviewer has said this book is is a nightmare. Badly laid out, with no map of the city overall making it difficult to understand where you are.
The restaurants that were tried in Bracciano were both disappointing. The shopping section was also poor - the major shopping mall at the termini was no more than you would get at the airport. Poorly written over complicated - the book lost its credibility and therfore ending up in the bin before it completey ruined our holiday.
Do not buy!!

.The Rough Guide to Rome

by: Martin Dunford

January 27, 2005
This was a usful guide to Rome. Only real issue is around restaurants but this is the same with any Lonely Planet/Rough Guide. Either they are no longer there (probably go bust) or they are not as expected. With food I would recommend you look around and dont make a rash choice. Also, try to avoid the main tourist areas for food/drink as you will get ripped off. It seems that there are two price lists... one for tourists and one for locals. Rome is a fantastic city and this book will guide you through well. The latest version is available and is only £6.99 so I think its worth the trade up. The main differences though is mainly around where to stay, eat, drink but if your not too concerned about those and just want a book for the main ... Read More:

.Italian (Rough Guide Phrasebooks)

by: Lexus

April 27, 2006
I purchased this book for a recent trip to Italy and I couldn't have done without it.

The menu reader was excellent as was the section on travel. Many Italians were just impressed I tried.

Many of the words were also put into useful phrases and the more difficlt words were spelt out phonetically for ease of pronunciation.

I would reccomend it for any trip around Italy.

.The Insider's Guide to Rome

by: Nick Wyke

June 25, 2004
Long story short, this is not a guide book, more like an interesting appendix to one.

Positives:
- An interesting read that gives a real flavour of Rome
- Gives you ideas of other things to see

Negatives:
- No map! So it tells you what to see, but then you have no way of getting there!
- Only useful for a longer trip

In conclusion great if you're going to Rome for a few days, or just loath being herded around with the rest of the tourists.

Either way you're going to have to buy a detailed road map too.

.Rome Pocket Map and Guide (Eyewitness Travel Guides)

from: Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd

May 04, 2006
Have just returned from a 5 day trip in Rome, using this little guide as one of the books used whilst there. It was very helpful, although it's quite tiny it was packed full of useful information, with good pictures, descriptions and advice. Although the maps only focus more on the centre of Rome they were adequate for our needs 4 days out of 5, as good as the map handed to us by our hotel.

I bought this book a few weeks before going on a 10 day holiday to rome and found it incredibly helpful. As well as giving lots of information on the more popular attractions such as st peters and the colosseum, there is an extensive amount of information on the lesser known, but equally as impressive sights.
As well as showing rome area by area, the Rome at a Glance section is brilliant as it gives a short list of the top attractions, then goes on to list the best churches, fountains, museums, etc.
Altogether a brilliant book to have with you whatever your doing and wherever you are in rome.
