I already own the Mini Rough Guide to London book so I knew exactly which series to look for when I brought a Rome travel guide. The book is very detailed and broken up into different areas of the city. There is a lot of detail about the different kinds of museums, hotels, places to eat, etc. It also has a few useful, easy to read maps in the back of it so you should never lose your bearings in Rome. This book is also small enough to be carried around, fitting easily into your back pocket or handbag!

I've just got back from Rome, and this book was my guide the whole time I was there.
It has enough information within it, to ensure you know the important aspects of the many historical sites. It also has great listings on eating out, and where to stay, and lots of snippets of information that will come in handy. This guide stayed in my ruck sack the whole time I was there (I enhanced the maps at the back of the guide by purchasing a Lonely Planet laminated fold away map - great when it starts to rain).
As for Rome itself, what a beautiful place, I stood in the colleseum on an upper level directly opposite where gladiators would have made their first entrance into the arena, at the start of the many games held there, and read the section from the book to my friend, and a few others were listening in and we all started to talk about what the book has said...so yes, it is worth the purchase, and I would strongly recommend it as a guide.

Stacks of information & history in a little A6 (?) book.
The guide book provided a fantastic experience navigating us through the Forum and the Palatine.
Plenty of info on all the areas of the city, the transport system and a handy map section at the back.
I've taken it on my last three visits to Rome and it never disappoints.
On the down side, we didn't have much luck with the featured restaurants.
Please note : Don't buy this guidebook if you want glossy photos. There are only maps, plans and drawings.

Could Be Better
I'm a huge fan of the RG series and always take them over any other guide book when I travel. This is the first time I have bought the Directions series and it will be my last. Read more
