Rick Steves Italy (Twenty-sixth Edition)

El libro es bueno, vienen muchos tips y continúa siendo un clásico, PERO se nota que cada día más se convierte en un libro destinado a una persona estadounidense y no se vuelve más universal. Además, el material de las hojas es tan delgado que es imposible llevarlo a los viajes sin que se maltrate demasiado. Debería de ser un poco más como Lonely Planet que es más resistente. Parece un libro de estante más que de viaje.

This is the second time I’ve bought this book. This one was a gift. Rick Steves is the king with his amazing books on travelling in Europe. We have used his books for many many trips - and NEVER gone wrong with the recommendations for accommodations or restaurants. Highly Recommend any of his books.

Background: I usually get one guide book for some of my trips and think nothing of trying others. Usually the most recent edition or I use Lonely Planet for more outdoor stuff. This trip to Italy is for my niece so I want to make it is awesome esp. in times of COVID. So I got both Steve’s and Fodor’s and there is a noticeable difference with the winner guide being Steve’s.Steve’s is more practical with know before you go info. Although things might change when you are there you have some insight to problem solve. Best info was on local custom hours, traps to look out for, various types of tour options, and public transportation information. He also provided a larger list of places to stay and eat then Fodor. Additional it’s structured in way I can go to the page I need and get all the info. Also, he doesn’t waste time telling you and showing you colored images of what you are going to see for yourself. Fodor was like a documentary on paper with the basic info to get you there.I will stick with Steve’s if I plan to go to major cities from now on!

Excellent, however it’s 3 years old

A perfect guide to Italy
