Relaunched in a new contemporary look at a competitive price-point, the art/shop/eat pocket guides combine a great look with the thoroughness of research expected from a Blue Guides publication, making them the perfect choice for the weekend or short break tourist.

This intelligently planned series divides each city up into 4-5 districts centred on a key sight – for example the Forum, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona and the Vatican in the case of Rome – and gives ideas for a perfect day in that part of town: the main sights and one or two quirkier ones too, the best places to eat or have a coffee, and some original shopping ideas, presented in an uncluttered and navigable format that respects the reader's intelligence.

A good 50% of the book is dedicated to the art and history of the place, distinguishing these useable little books from many guides which are little more than practical information listings.

ABOUT THIS GUIDE

As you can see, we have divided Rome into five districts and the aim of this guide book is to enable you to have a great day out in any one of them. For each district first a short selection of the major art sights is given, then some other things to see in the area, followed by some ideas on the eat opportunities―from pizzas to fine Roman dining―rounded off with our shortlist of shop recommendations.

In the practicalities section that follows we set the scene with a brief introduction to the city of Rome, how to get around, its food and drink and where to stay.

The history pages give an overview of the key events in this city's long and momentous life, while at the back of the book there is a glossary covering some of the art terms and key personalities referred to in this guide, as well as a comprehensive index to help you find what you are looking for.

There are excellent maps throughout, inside the front cover is a map of all Rome, clearly indicating where the detailed maps to each district are to be found at the beginning of their sections. The numbers (1) on the maps locate the caf�s and restaurants described later in that section.
