Customer Reviews

This is the one guide book you need!

I can't say enough about this book or reccomend it enought to my friends traveling abroad. It is a very extensive guide book in a very compact size. It has very indepth information from the evolution of the physical city to the natural flora and fauna! It covers a wide variety of art and architecture along with all the tourist hot spots. This beats Eyewitness guide hands down! I still treasure my Rome guide from my travel over there years ago.

Life is Beautiful in Italy, and you can read it in 2 hours

You picked up a few travel books while planning that trip several months out-and this one was among them for its beautiful color photographs on every page, but it is chocked full of itineraries and info. Three months later, boning up on the real things you need to know-in order to keep up at dinner with your host in Milan, or not embarrass yourself by steering your travel companion in the wrong direction-this veteran traveler was THRILLED to find the complete history of Italy in the first few pages, the customs, art appreciation, and reminders of treasures found on previous trips. If you can only have one guide book, this is it. It can also double as your souvenir.
