About this book

You'd be hard-pressed to find a more comprehensive, engrossing and just plain fun-to-read guidebook than the Eyewitness Travel Guide: Italy. Spilling over with all sorts of useful information for the traveler, you'll find three-dimensional drawings, floor plans, and detailed neighborhood maps, as well as timelines, charts, and even popular Rome bus routes. Broken into several parts--"Introducing Italy," "Region by Region" (with northern, central, and southern chapters as well as impressive sections covering Rome and Florence), "Traveler's Needs," and "Survival Guide"--the guide provides the reader with a complete picture of the country. Readers will especially love the hundreds of color photos of everything from Rome's famous piazzas, Navona and di Spagna, to the red-roofed villages of Tuscany to room-by-room descriptions of the Uffizi Gallery and the Vatican museums (where you'll find the newly restored Sistine Chapel). There are also listings for the best pasta restaurants, wine bars, chic shopping streets, and some of the world's most romantic hotels. --Jill Fergus

Best, Best, Best!

Time and again my family has used this book. It has pictures and commentary which prove extremely helpful. We've written all over it. It is the best of the guides. It has the most detail.

Mi piace molto! I like it a lot!!

I absolutely love these guides! I use them myself to show people who come on my tours some images of the places where I will take them, as well as maps. All guides by Eyewitness Travel are full of bright full-color pictures, useful travel tips, and are presented in a very simple and user-friendly manner. The heavy-weight paper on which they are printed makes them sometimes... well, heavy-weight. But worth purchasing nonetheless. The Italy guide is very extensive, giving you the history of each region, food and wine specialties, and many many more travel resources. I highly recommend their Top 10 series as well. If you'd like more information on traveling to Italy (in particular, Tuscany, since I'm from there), you can contact me: nada@nadasitaly.com
