Visiting Italy is on my bucket list and Rome is definitely one of the places I’m most interested in visiting there.  This book did a great job of pointing out a variety of interesting places to check out while you’re in the city. A friend of mine who visited there has told me that you can spend several weeks in Rome without getting a chance to see everything the city has to offer, so it was nice to see a basic guide that covered a variety of different venues worth going to. I didn’t get the feeling that the book was recommending the same old tourist traps, but instead there was some real thought applied to what kind of things were recommended. The author mentions having lived in Rome for several years and that experience shines through in that there is such a diverse list of offerings (bars, cafes, museums, stuff for kids, etc). The number of locations recommended in this book is actually more than 31… the author added four additional ones as a bonus. A word of warning though… don’t read this book if you’re hungry! The beautiful pictures of Italian food, combined with my empty stomach, made me want to eat my Kindle :-p  Highly recommend this book to anyone planning a trip or thinking about planning one down the road.
