EDITORIAL REVIEW

Designed specifically for Rick's travel audience (or users) these maps highlight choice destinations throughout Italy, from the Alpe di Suisi to Sicily, in a colorful, easy-to-use format on high-quality paper that lasts over many trips:

• Cuts the Clutter: While big cities are left for navigational purposes, this map is otherwise stripped clean and filled in only with places that matter to travelers.
• Guidebook-Friendly: At a glance, all the places you read about in Rick's Italy, Rome, Venice and Florence guidebooks pop right out in a crisp, easy-to-read format
• Rail or Road: Includes important train lines and highways (and ferry routes) for easy route-planning, no matter how you'll get around.
• The Back's Even Better: The reverse side includes detailed city-center maps of Rome, Venice and Florence, locating sights, hotels and restaurants from Rick's city guidebooks.

MAP REVIEW: Not too bad as a reference
~ Written on May 23, 2008. 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.

I put "MAP REVIEW" in my title, as it seems that most of the reviews here are for the book? How does that make sense?

This map was good for us as it covered our itinerary - Venice, Florence, Siena, and Rome. The landmarks were helpful, as well as the designations for pedestrian areas and shopping areas. The map is fairly heavy paper, so it will last even if it's not laminated.

My main complaint is the map didn't have enough street level information. So if you're navigating by yourself, you may need another map if you're looking for a particular street location. Also, the maps are marked with the English version of the names of landmarks; for me, I find this confusing when walking around a city.

not too scray

A Must for Travel in Italy
~ Written on Mar 31, 2008. out of users found this review helpful.

Rick Steves is nerdy but he does his homework. Don't think about planning a trip to Italy without this book. Read the book before going to Italy and keep it in your carry-on when traveling. I'd like even more help with places to stay and to eat but the book still proved to be indispensable.

Good book for sites/eating suggestions

My wife and went to Italy in Sept. 2007, it was amazing to see how many people had the same book. We really liked the book for the suggestions for sites (rating system he uses for must sees) and suggestions for eating estabishments. I thought the suggestions for lodging were a little bit more then our budget could afford...there are great travel sites on the web that can offer lodging at reasonable prices, we did go to some of the dining places and they were great.

Travel Book too well read
~ Written on Mar 25, 2008. out of users found this review helpful.

I guess it comes with the territory of a travel guide that is this popular. I bought a few books to plan a 2 week vacation in Italy. This travel guide had great ideas, but I was unable to book a single hotel in Rick Steve's book. I travelled in October and tried to make reservations in the previous April-May. My husband and I both felt it would have been wiser and probably cheaper to travel with a tour company that allows a lot of individual choices, instead making all our reservations and plans ourselves.
