the city also contains as an enclave the State of the Vatican City, the smallest

You could probably figure out how to buy an espresso, visit the Colosseum, and order a pizza on your own. But if you’re dying to do something a little more exciting than absent-mindedly wish you had a moped while you walk to the Forum, pick up a copy of Let’s Go Rome and let the insights of our student researchers guide you like Vergil did Dante—but with fewer drawn out similes.
More than any other city, Rome mixes an epic history with an epic present. And more than any other travel guide, Let’s Go Rome mixes what you need to know — the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel are free on the last Sunday of each month — with what you’re dying to find out. Our witty student writers know just what you want, from the best gelato to the most realistic sculptures of naked gods, and our neighborhood-by-neighborhood coverage will ensure that you won’t get lost between the Trevi Fountain and that tiny trattoria. |

Not Built in a Day presents twelve "walking tours" that cover 200 sites and move beyond the traditional guidebook by being a more personal and instructive text on Rome’s piazzas, streets, outdoor fountains, ancient ruins, and famous buildings. Where other guides shy away from expressing a strong personal viewpoint, the author doesn't hesitate to voice his opinion. He includes detailed analyses that will help readers see why so many of Rome’s buildings and monuments are considered architecturally important. This book creates an interactive process between the reader, the text, and the architectural style — a repeated cycle of reading-looking-comprehending that in the end leads the reader not only to appreciate the buildings and monuments of Rome, but to enjoy architecture in general. |
