Rome Eyewitness Travel Guides - Information
can be a scarce commodity when you’re
on holidays in an unfamiliar place, especially
if the local language is not your own. It’s
an awful feeling, being lost and confused,
and not even knowing how to use the public
phones!
When you go to Rome, Eyewitness Travel
Guides are like your best travelling companion
ever. Full to overflowing with useful details,
maps and lists, you’ll wonder how you
managed without it. In fact, Eyewitness Travel
Guides can get you out of some rough spots,
help you find your way around, entertain you
and fascinate you.
Imagine your luggage has been stolen and in
it, is everything you own that you are not
carrying on your person. You need to know where
your country’s embassy is because your
passport is now missing and you can go into
a panic if you don’t know who to contact,
or how. Rome Eyewitness Travel Guides contain
this kind of important information.
These are no ordinary guidebooks. You’ll
be amazed at the quality of the contents and
the scope of the data. It’s like carrying
a scaled-down version of the encyclopaedia
with you, only it’s much more portable!
Within the Rome Eyewitness Travel Guides,
you’ll
find not only street maps but maps showing
particular districts and even buildings. There
are fascinating graphics that show floor plans
and cutaways of museums and other buildings
of interest. There is a Travellers’ Needs
section outlining accommodation, places to
eat, places to shop, including markets, plus
all manner of entertainment.
The guide is really well organised into logical
sections on the history of Rome, it's development
as a city at the hub of the Roman Empire, and
an area by area tour of all the main attractions
that carries huge detail (as well as some well
researched recommendations on where to eat,
shop, and be entertained).
The Rome Eyewitness travel guide also includes
a Survival Guide to help you out of tight spots.
Need a public toilet? Look it up in the book.
Can’t work out how to use the airport
telephones? It’s in the book. Want to
know how to get around the city with as little
hassle as possible? That’s there too.
One of the really fun things about
Rome Eyewitness
Travel Guides is that includes
recommendations from previous
travellers to Rome. See what others have to
say about their experiences at different restaurants,
hotels and tourist attractions and take your
pick of the best.
Eyewitness Travel Guides sell in vast quantities
because they’re so practical and interesting.
Since their inception in 1993, over 6.5 million
copies have been sold in the U.S. alone! They
are highly pictorial, easy to use and make
for a great souvenir of your trip long after
you’ve returned home and recovered from
your jet lag.
