Frommer's Rome Day by Day [With Pull-Out Map]

Frommer's Rome was up to date - the map was great and it fits nicely into a purse or pocket. Descriptions of attractions very helpful.

Delivy on time. like the guide. very well organized, lots of detail maps, easy to carry with you. it is my third guide from Frommers Day by Day , even i do not like the big guides highly recommended, you will not be disapointed

This book is very useful if you are planning to stay 1-5 days in the city. I have the same book for 6 more cities and they are all great. Very useful metro train maps, city maps and area maps. It incldes day trips to places outside the city.

we took it with us, and it did provide a lot of good info

Unless you want to hire a tour guide or you have a friend who lives in Rome to take you around this is your best bet. Short and to the point reviews and info on all the things you want to see in Rome. Some of the prices in the book are already out of date. The Leonardo Express train to and from the airport now costs 11 Euros, not 9.50. The map that is included is good enough but lacks some detail. It would be nice if the map included little icons of the more popular sites for ease of reading. That said your hotel will probably have a tourist map for you for free. Using this book I put together an intinerary that was good for me in about an hour.
