In depth information on individual areas,
This review is from: Northern Italy Insight Guide (Insight Guides) (Paperback)
I found this book highly informative and inclusive of detail. It provides the reader with lots of historical, cultural, economic and social aspects of each individual area in Northern Italy. However, it is written as an open-minded account of the country, which I actually prefer, rather than as a tour guide (meaning it doesn't tell the reader 'come here - don't go there!'), as such advice is often given as a personal opinion. Some touristy places can have a particular appeal out of season - while others don't appeal at all. There's only one way to find out ... go and see for yourself! If you want to get an overall impression of the country and the kind of people you'll come across there, then this is the book for you.

Never judges,
By
This review is from: Northern Italy Insight Guide (Insight Guides) (Paperback)
A lovely guidebook to look at and to read, but it fails badly because it never offers any opinions of anything. OK, so people's opinions vary, but I get the impression they are just trying to sell everywhere they list as a place to see; so treat with extreme care. We've just returned from Northern Italy and the book contained a good drive in the Dolomites and information on some interesting places. The problem was it also had information on a lot of absolutely awful places to visit (over-touristy areas packed with restaurants with German/English names and the like, e.g. Limone sul Garda).I'd recommend it to give you an overview and as a supporting information, but don't whatever you do use it for planning your trip; you might end up at some nice places if you do, or you might end up at some dreadful ones.
