Italian Travel Guides

One of the best ways to prepare for your vacation in Italy is to read as much as you can about it before you leave using Italian travel guides. Because there is so much to see and do in Italy, your best strategy for a successful vacation is to be prepared. These travel books will help you decide exactly where you want to go. Having an itinerary is essential when you vacation in Italy.

Learn to take Italy in small chunks. In a lifetime, you will never experience everything it has to offer. Many people that visit Italy return again and again. So if your interest is art, architecture, Roman history, Etruscan history, gardening or other specific interest, you might want to plan your trip around that interest.

If it is your first vacation in Italy, perhaps you want to see only the highlights such as Venice, Florence and Rome. If you want a scenic vacation, you might want to head south to Sorento, the Amalfi Coast, Naples and the Isle of Capri. In a week or two, you will never be able to see it all. So do yourself a favor and plan your vacation around those things that are of the most interest to you.

The following guide books are designed for different tastes. Determine your style and match it up with one of the guide books.

Rick Steeves has been entering Europe's back door for over 20 years. In addition to the major attractions, he discovers those out-of-the-way places that the average tourist might miss. Rick travels on a budget with a backpack, so his recommendations are typically affordable.

This isn't just another travel guide. It's packed with all the practical information you'll need when travelling in Italy from a native. 
 Sights of Rome I had the opportunity to meet Vincent Drago, the author of Sights of Rome, the last time I was in Italy. His white hair belies a spry gentleman with a passion for his adopted city and an energy that rivals his passion. His book is as insightful as his tours of the city he loves. If you truly want a Roman experience, this is the book to have as a guide.
