ROME Guidebook + Italy Planning Map + Travel Skills DVD
Italy, home of the Vatican, is Catholic, but the dominant religion is life: motor scooters, soccer, fashion, girl-watching, boy-watching, good coffee, good wine, and la dolce far niente ("the sweetness of doing nothing"). The Italian character shows itself on the streets in the skilled-yet-maniac drivers and the classy dressers who star in the ritual evening stroll, or passeggiata.
In Rick Steves' Italy, you'll find in-depth Rick-tested information on trip planning, hotels, restaurants, tourist offices, transportation, telephones, festivals and holidays, mail and email, weather, survival phrases and easy-to-follow maps. It covers all the best sights (but does not include the illustrated city walks and museum tours found in Rick's city guidebooks).
