Publisher's Synopsis
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. We provide the lowdown on world-renowned sights, and venture into the minor marvels, the contemporary surprises, the rich and rewarding restaurant scene and the wealth of arts attractions. Time Out Rome charts the ups and downs of this contradictory city. With the help of local journalists, writers and experts, the Rome City Guide takes you beyond the iconic and into places where locals work, play and indulge, sampling the full extent of its monuments, museums and galleries, and the best of its eating, shopping and carousing.
