Rick Steves' Rome 2008
by Rick Steves

From the Rick Steves' series.

Rome is magnificent and brutal at the same time. Utterly chaotic, it is also Italy's political capital, and presents a splendid array of Western civilization. As you peel through its fascinating and jumbled layers, you'll find Rome's buildings, cats, laundry, traffic, and 2.6 million people endlessly entertaining. And then, of course, there are its magnificent sights. Tour St. Peter's, the greatest church on earth, and scale Michelangelo's 430-foot-tall dome, the world's largest. Learn something about eternity by touring the huge Vatican Museum. Take an early evening "Dolce Vita Stroll" down the Via del Corso with Rome's beautiful people, and enjoy an after-dark walk from Campo de' Fiori to the Spanish Steps, lacing together Rome's Baroque and bubbly nightspots.

In Rick Steves' Rome, you'll find in-depth Rick-tested information on trip planning, the top sights, hotels, restaurants, tourist offices, transportation, telephones, mail and e-mail, weather, festivals and holidays, plus survival phrases, easy-to-follow maps, and great self-guided neighborhood and museum walks...
