DK Eyewitness Travel Guides: Rome

Travel guide with lots of historical information. It is organized by area in rome and gives historical information about many of the buildings found in each area. There are also sections on where to stay, eat, shop, and go for entertainment. Although small, the book is very heavy and wouldn't be very convenient to carry around with you while you are sightseeing. This is more of a resource to refer to before you go or that you keep in your hotel room during the day and refer to between sightseeing. I would recommend this to someone interested in historical tidbits and to someone who is not going on a guided tour who needs to plan their vacation on their own. This should give you some ideas.

Der gut gegliederte und sehr reichhaltig illustrierte Reiseführer ist vor allem für geschichts- und kunstinteressierte konzipiert. Der Text ist allgemeinverständlich gehalten. Die Bilder sind fast durchweg farbig.
