    This information guide is dated but still is a great reference for any visitor to Italy
  

*by R***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 29, 2015*

Italy for dummies has a good format for a tourist guide. It is chock full of information that is very good for the first-time tourists to Italy. The information contained within the regional breakout - those chapters that discuss it specific to the area and was a good, brief compilation have information that leads one to study further about the specific topic discussed on the Internet, as well they also reiterate throughout the different chapters of those important messages that a tourist needs to know throughout the country. any information discussing applications used on cell phones and tablets is rather dated however the majority of the sites cited were still good sites to review. Don't expect the most up-to-date tourist information guides and applications cited in this edition of the book . The book did reference though very good locations where one could find the most up-to-date information on specific topics such as transportation by train or by bus or by metro or by car.  It really helped to use the book to lead me to more up-to-date information on specific website about transportation there. It was also a good reference book to lead one to websites where discount cards for tourists entering the country could be obtained.

    SAVED ME!!
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 16, 2016*

Cannot stress enough how helpful this one! I sent my daughter off to Rome this summer to study abroad, and was very nervous as she had never been outside of the country and didn't know what to expect. This book gave great detail about the history, cultural norms, and minute details concerning each major city (what to do there, where to eat, etc.) I read the book and tagged many pages for her, but she said she read it on the plane and that it was incredibly helpful. It saved her a lot of time, and, frankly, a lot of embarrassment from looking dumb in many situations. I visited the last couple weeks of her trip, and we both agreed that this book saved us many times. If you are willing to read, I promise this is incredibly helpful and will definitely make you feel more comfortable if you are nervous about traveling to Italy for the first time. Also, if you are thinking about traveling to Italy and aren't sure, GO! Best trip of our lives.

    Dummie Fan
  

*by W***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 10, 2011*

I think this is my 6th "Dummies" book and I am definitely a fan.  Any time I need to learn about something in depth, whether it be a hobby or something I'm pursuing, even medical issues, I look for one of these books on the subject.My husband and I are planning a 3 week trip to Italy later this year visiting Rome,Venice,Florence and Naples,and are doing all of the planning ourselves. By checking out the recommendations, websites, etc. in this book we feel very comfortable with our arrangements and plans. Another suggestion I would suggest in addition to the book and websites is to go on to Google Maps and pull up some of the addresses where you will be staying and visiting.  Most streets have a "street view" and you can pan 360 degrees as well as progress down the streets to see exactly what to expect at each location. I was able to discover things about hotels we had selected that I would not have otherwise known.Now after all the planning, my biggest challenge is to learn enough of the language to be able to get by.
