Book Reviews of Italy (Eyewitness Travel Guides)
Book Review: Excellent for planning, culture and history, beautiful to look at
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not your typical guidebook. The book is chock full of page after page of full color photography, info about the culture and history of the regions and cities of Italy, layouts of important buildings... This guide is indispensible as you plan your trip. The photos here, as well as the history will help you decide what your "must see" destinations and sights are in a way that plain text in another book just can't. And when you see those pieces of art or buildings on your actual trip you will remember them from the book, and a little of their history and background. I would not use the book for hotels and restaurants - not because you can't (you certainly could) but because I'm partial to the suggestions of Rick Steves for hotels and restaurants and I like his sightseeing suggestions. Also I prefer to use a guide updated annually for hotels and restaurants. He also gives another perspective and more detail on some things. For me, it's a must to have both this guide and the Rick Steves guide for the place I am visiting. They compliment each other and serve their own purpose. (Rick even recommends these guides for those looking for the full-color-photo type guide). I don't know if I'd bring this guide on my trip - it's heavier than it looks and would take up valuable space in my carry-on-only luggage (and is too beautiful to rip out just the pages I need!) But as I said, fantastic for helping you prioritize and plan your trip!
