I haven’t had a new Italy guidebook in a number of years, been using an old Lonely Planet guide for years. This is a good improvement, up to date, which is especially important for hotels and restaurants. In this Fodor’s guide there’s a good cross section of inexpensive and more luxurious accommodations. There’s a lot of space on the sights and basics of getting around, which I didn’t need as much so I’m not as good of a judge on that. The color photos look good and could help with planning before a trip, but are probably not as useful while on the road. A single book for a whole country is often pretty thin on the ground. A couple of my personal favorite places are mentioned though in the book, an interesting surprise. The book is a starting point though, best for first time travelers to Italy but useful for repeat visitors as well.
O.K. so i bought this book not realizing the size of the book. This is a very big book not one you stick in your pocket as your wondering around. But beyond the size of the book the actual book is amazing there is soooo much info for every location in Italy. I think you can not get a better travel guide. I planned my entire trip with the help of this book, buy it don’t waste your time looking at others.
