Time Out Rome

by Time Out Guides

This exhaustively updated handbook provides an honest and in-depth assessment of the most exuberant of European capitals. Time Out Rome details the city's best sights — both ancient and modern, world-famous and obscure — from spectacular galleries to the sybaritic Turkish baths. Detailed reviews by local critics help travelers avoid overpriced tourist traps and discover authentic Italian cuisine. Other highlights include budget lodging options — from nunneries to campsites to youth hostels — and extensive coverage of rural delights — from (more) ancient ruins to abandoned villages, lush gardens, mountain walks, and sandy beaches. This eighth edition of Time Out Rome, even guides readers to the best places to take gladiator lessons or be photographed with a latter-day legionnaire.

http://nhw.livejournal.com/998924.html[return][return]good background essays, very good restaurant recommendations, a sensible approach to navigating around the sights. My one complaint is that the maps are not tied to the text awfully well, and actually allowed us to go seriously astray when we looked for the catacombs along the Appian Way.

I was surprised at how small Rome is. You can walk everywhere.
