Format:Paperback
The Blue Guide to Rome is a good guide to the history and architecture of the Eternal City. It contains practical advice as well as what the Blue Guides are known for: complete and detailed information on the history and content of places of interest. This information is often too detailed for just dipping into, but is still interesting. The map of Rome at the back is good too. The only big drawback is that there are no photographs - only occasional sketches.

I took the Blue Guide to Rome on my recent visit as a supplemental to the Dorling Kindersley guide and the Rough Guide to Rome map. I used this to read up the night before seeing sites and then to review after as it's pretty heavy if you're carrying around lots of other items too. However it's a really excellent guide, it gives you way more history than the others I looked at and really made the stay more special.

The best guide for visiting Rome. Feel of relevant information about sights and places. Luckily this book only dedicates a small section to places to stay or eat.

Full of historical and practical detail, learning with a light touch. The maps on various scales are particularly valuable. But it's heavier than most to carry about.
