Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
It is almost everyone's dream to sit in the Plazza San Marco in Venice, watching people, sipping an espresso, and eating a snack. The Lonely Planet's Guide to Italy brings you there by giving you the lowdown, sharing a story, providing warnings, inspiration, recommending DVD's and CD's, downloading guides, providing lists for everything and anything, taking the plunge, saving money, buying a gift, planning an adventure, buying a gift, booking a bed and giving advice on how to meet locals.
The Lonely Planet has had a reputation for thirty years for providing some of the best information on travel in the world. Their newest guide to Italy comes with 924 pages of information that is at times overwhelming, but all in all provides eveything you need to know.

Table of contents lists everything about Italy in alphabetical order.
I found the information on the history of Italy was a wondeful reminder of all that I have learned previously. The Roman Empire, I had just seen HBO's 'Rome' the previous season, so it all became real again. Italian Art and architecture gave me the highlights. A day in the life of an Italisan reminded me of the culture of the country I was going to visit.
And then, each city and site with enough information to whet my appetite for travel and the food, the food!
Language and translation of every day words and phrases is handy and useful. A Directory of info you need- Internet access, rentals. senior and youth cards, holidays, embassies and international calls. Time zones and an Index follows.
This handy Lonely Planet guide is one of the most informative of guides.
I would recommend this guide of Italy as one of the best I have encountered.
