Product Description
This book divides central Rome into 16 areas and has further sections for sights on the outskirts of the city; including some day trips as well as some suggested walks. Each of the main areas has its own chapter and contains a selection of sights that convey some of its history and distinctive character. The bird’s-eye view maps, photographs, 3-D aerial views of Rome’s most appealing districts, the floor plans of all the major sights and the huge selection of hotels, restaurants, shops and entertainment venues separate this guide from all of the rest. The Eyewitness Travel Guide helps you to get the most from your stay in Rome.Amazon.com Review
Too terrible the essence of Rome can’t be bottled and exported to a confront store near you. If it could, you could pick up a weekend’s worth of Rome along with your pint of milk and Snickers bar, and you’d probably never get to repainting the stairs, doing the laundry, or watching that new video relief. As a replacement for you’d be gawking at St. Peter’s, ogling the Temple of Vesta, devouring saltimbocca in a trattoria, and sipping Sangiovese at a wine bar. You might not even get to the Snickers bar. Okay, DK never said they’re trying to bottle Rome. But they do a stand-up job of imbuing their guidebook with the spirit, attitude, and élan of Rome. They don’t just provide information about where to stay and what to do when you’re there (though they do, in fact, provide all persons necessary details), they go beyond the pragmatic and mundane to revel in Rome’s glory. They stimulate the appetite for a Roman holiday. The gorgeous pictures and engaging text draw you in. They inspire you to read and dream, set your travel date, and visit Rome for real. –Stephanie Gold

you should buy this book. We spent four days there and used this book to navigate around the city. What this book doesn’t tell you is that Rome (and it’s monuments!!!) is covered in grafitti and trash… for that I only give this book four stars.

– update: ‘looks like there are 2 guides published by eyewitness; this is *NOT* the “Top 10;” it seems like several of the reviews not more than are based on that book, not this one. Be careful. –
5 stars? Am I reading the same book?
The book has an average of 4 pictures or graphics per page — they’re tiny and the text is squeezed around them. Some pages have 10 graphics or pictures. The whole thing seems like a textbook case in how not to design something to be user friendly.
I establish the text to be wanting, huge time! I’ve spent a lot of time with Rome guidebooks, and this is clearly the worst of the lot — sorry I spent the money. Even Fodors and Frommers are better than this. I recommend you take a look at Rick Steves (very unadorned, but excellent info) and Access (fantastic thought of putting everything – food, hotel sights, together, block by block, but the seriies isn’t what it used to be — I reflect the company was sold a few years ago. The best I’ve establish so far is the Rough Guide — highly recommended
