Rome

This guide is packed with ideas - to peel back the layers of history, find peace and quiet or unearth the unexpected. It takes you off the tourist trail to the Rome only the locals know - from hidden art in the heart of the city to underground clubs and wine cellars. Our expert authors give the lowdown on the city, from the elegant piazzas to backstreet markets. 90 hotels and 170 restaurants, plus Rome's best gelaterie, wine bars and music venues are all personally reviewed. There are 25 detailed maps, plus 12 pages of full-color maps with grid-references to help you find every sight and recommendation in the guide. You will also find guided walks and itineraries that take you down the Appian Way, around the swish shopping streets of the center and to the pick of the restaurants.
