Summary: Don't ever go to Rome with only this guide!
Comment: I just returned from a trip to Europe and spent several days in Rome...
So this guide gets great reviews... True, the historical and cultural sections are fine. They didn't include any colour photographs, o. k., might be their style.
But to sell a - not even cheap - guide that doesn't even have an underground map?! The maps in general aren't worth the paper they're printed on. You're certain to get lost in the city if you trust this guide.
If you want to bother bringing this guide along a "real" guide, be my guest, but I, for one, expect more of a city guide.

Summary: An in-depth and satisfying guide to the Eternal City
Comment: On my first trip to Rome, unable to read posted tourist information or afford expensive tours, I longed for in-depth historical and cultural information about the sights I was seeing. The second time I went I still had no Italian and no money, but I had a Blue Guide, and it made all the difference. This is not the most practical guidebook to use for making reservations and getting around--the sections on hotels and transportation are cursory. But once you're there, staring at that tantalizing church or monument, the Blue Guide will tell you everything you could want to know about it. Coverage of the Forum and Palatine Hill is especially good; two detailed maps and dozens of pages of text allow you to dig in and begin to understand what you're seeing. The Blue Guide also includes several pages of color maps of the city, which make a good supplement to the red-covered Pianta della Citta available from any street vendor. Overall, highly recommended.

Summary: One Of The Most Informative Guides To Rome
Comment: I have been to Italy five times and I swear by the Blue Guides! I was lucky enough to get the Blue Guide Rome for Christmas, from a friend, before the first trip and I have taken that same copy every time since! From hotels to restaurants, from shopping to sightseeing, you'll find all of the important information you need to feel comfortable traveling to Rome, and more importantly, you'll feel confident as you take your daily excursions around the "eternal city". The only other book you ever need to travel around Rome is the Eyewitness Guide Rome. With those two guides, you have all the important information and pictures you'll ever need and more! I highly recommend it.
