Rome for Dummies

I used this book when I visited Spain and it is very useful and detailed. I'm going to Italy next month and this book is helping me plan my trip! I def recommend this to anyone traveling to a place they are unfamiliar with.

I checked out several books from my local library before deciding on a book to purchase to use as the travel guide for my upcoming trip to Rome. I read each major travel guide and compared all the books for structure and usability. I preferred Rome for Dummies because it has the same User Friendly set-up of all the "Dummies" books. Tips on local customs, what to see and do in a limited amount of time, how to attend a papal audience, etc. are the kind of tips that made me feel like I was talking to a local Roman instead of reading a book. Did you know that it costs more to sit and have a cup of coffee than to stand and have coffee? Neither did I, but I do now. Unlike other "cumbersome" travel guides, this book fits my description of "if I were going to write the perfect travel guide to fit all my personal wants and needs, this is how I'd do it."
