Rome (Eyewitness Travel Guides)

This book divides central Rome into 16 areas and has further sections for sights on the outskirts of the city; including some day trips as well as some suggested walks. Each of the main areas has its own chapter and contains a selection of sights that convey some of its history and distinctive character. The bird's-eye view maps, photographs, 3-D aerial views of Rome's most interesting districts, the floor plans of all the major sights and the huge selection of hotels, restaurants, shops and entertainment venues separate this guide from all of the rest. The Eyewitness Travel Guide helps you to get the most from your stay in Rome. more

Pretty picture and good maps, but ZERO practical info

This is, as made clear by every review, a beautiful book. But on our trip to Italy, we found ourselves using Rick Steves WAY MORE. This book has great pictures and maps, and is good for planning, but it lacks the information Rick Steves gives such as where to park. We would have been completely...

Very helpful, easy to read

Used this on a trip to Rome earlier this month and found the information very helpful and up to date. One aspect of this guide that I enjoyed was the division of Rome into neighborhoods. It was nice to see at a glance what was located in each neighborhood and plan my day accordingly. It also...

Not perfect, but it served me well in Rome

Bad news first: this book has the issue of trying to cover too much in too small of a format and page count. As a result, you'll run into some cases where entries are text only. This is not too big of a deal, but sometimes a photo would really help identify a place when you're hemmed in by roads...

Best guide, period

Look no further than any D&K guide for your travel needs, it covers everything and anyting; the guide divides any big area in sections and then suggests which routes, or attractions you must see; it also covers a historical background on them. From history of the city in question as to how to...

Can't understand all the 5 star reviews

-- update: 'looks like there are 2 guides published by eyewitness; this is *NOT* the "Top 10;" it seems like several of the reviews below are based on that book, not this one. Be careful. --5 stars? Am I reading the same book?The book has an average of 4 pictures or graphics per page -- they're...

DK is always superb

The Eyewitness series is always superb. I won;t repeat all the glory heaped on this volume in other reviews, other than to say, apart from the superb cut-aways, sumptuous photography and enagaging text, what Eyewitness unfailingly delivers is USABLE, properly indexed street maps. Too many...

Unbelievably useful

Just returned from our first trip to Rome. Had a few guidebooks but found that this one was all we needed. It was even worth reading after the trip ended, that's how much information it packs. You must bring this book to Rome.

Sorry Lonely Planet, you've been replaced!

Having just returned from Rome yesterday, I thought I'd pen a quick review of the DK Eyewitness Guide. In preparation for all my previous travels, the Lonely Planet guides were always the first items I'd pack into my suitcase. However, in the future the DK books have earned the right to that...
