Take your new travelling companion to bed
with you long before you leave your home country.
Frommers Rome is one of those ‘un-put-down-able’ publications
that you’ll eat up as you plan your trip.
It’s full of fascinating information
that will make you wish you were already there.
It might even make you pack your suitcases
early and do away with the last minute trials
you usually experience.
Rome is a complex city. Sure, it’s full
of romance, it can weave a spiritual path through
your soul and it can cause your waistline to
expand considerably, but there are no quaint
little yellow footprints painted on the sidewalk
to show you where to go. Frommers
Rome contains
maps not just of the immediate vicinity from
within yards of the Vatican, but also maps
that illustrate walking tours, where to get
a cheap bite to eat, the various attractions
(both popular and off the beaten track), shopping
precincts and so much more.
One of the most useful guides is Frommers "Rome
Day by Day", especially if you are visiting
the city for the first time, or have a limited
amount of time to explore. The latest version
includes 26 smart ways to see the city, and
the best itineraries for one, two or three
day visits to make sure you get the very best
from your time.
Aside from the essential maps, you’ll
be able to read the author’s reviews
of various points of interest including accommodation,
restaurants and attractions. You’ll read
up on the history of Rome, its culture, the
people, the currency and learn a few important
phrases that you’ll need on occasion.
All Frommers Rome guides contain a ‘fast
facts’ section, invaluable for such necessities
as babysitting services, medical professionals,
embassies, restrooms, telephone services and
so much more that you may not even have considered.
It’d be a wonderful thing to be shown
around by a local who has lived and breathed
the city of Rome his whole life. It’s
perhaps a better thing to be able to access
much of what he would tell you, by carrying
around a portable publication such as Frommers
Rome, that will entertain you as much as inform
you … and won’t require you to
buy it dinner or send a postcard upon your
return home! Get yours, in time to consume
it before you embark on your trip.
