Publisher's Synopsis
Which? Recommended Provider: Time Out Guides is rated top guidebook brand by Which? Survey, for level of detail, photography, quality of maps, ease of finding information and value for money. Rome's splendid antiquities and glorious historic palazzi are justly famous but there's a buzzing modern metropolis beneath the history that's well worth getting to know.

attractions.
