This is the third guide i buy from the Time out series of guides, and it has proven to be once more the best choice. I planned everything according to the suggestions given, and it turned out to be an easy and fun vacation. I even choose the restaurants i ate in by this book, and i was suprised to see that it was correct in the matter of food, prices, timing to get there. It is certainly a very good guide, you only have to read it before the trip so you know exactly what plans you need to make. If you are bored and do not want to spend time reading beforehand, it is again very helpful since it has maps for everything, useful vocabulary, even suggestion for a two day trip to Rome like the guided tours have. So you can read as you go. I would suggest it without hesitation.
