Fodor's Rome: with the Best City Walks and Scenic Day Trips

Rome is more than ever bursting at the seams with newly unleashed vitality. Just in time for 2012â€™s 2 million American visitors is all-color, photo-packed Fodorâ€™s Rome, revealing the festa romana that is the pulse of the Eternal City. If proof were needed that Romans are switching into the fast lane, just check out Fodorâ€™s â€œnew Romeâ€ wrap-up.

Expanded Coverage: Look for expanded write-ups of the hot and hip neighborhoods of Pigneto and San Lorenzo, the latest architectural landmarks (the Casa della Ballo and Casa del Cinema), and more avant-garde sites.

Illustrated Features: Rome is one of Europe's most resplendent cities, so it is no wonder Fodor's selected it for full-color treatment. Our â€œIn-Focusâ€ magazine-style illustrated features take in everything from archaeological sites to the Vatican to the coolest neighborhoods. The guide showcases the ancient city in â€œRome Was Not Built in a Day,â€ then skips to the cityâ€™s hippest scene-arena in â€œLife is a Piazza.â€ For Rome at its High-Renaissance best, and insights on how the 17thâ€”century city of spectacle was created, toggle from the section â€œAgony and Ecstasy: The Sistine Ceilingâ€ to â€œBaroque and Desperate: The Tragic Rivalry of Bernini and Borromini.â€ A first for Fodorâ€™s: our photo-rich chapter, "Roaminâ€™ Holiday," has theme walks that immerse the reader in three especially evocative stretches of the city.

Indispensable Trip Planning Tools:Â Fodorâ€™s Rome consummately fits the bill on both a practical and cultural basis. Detail-packed â€œGetting Orientedâ€ sections, with plenty of hands-on coaching, introduce all nine sightseeing neighborhoods. The "Experience Rome" chapter is loaded with valuable advice, such as tips on how to explore Rome like the locals do, and â€œBeating the Euro.â€ With neighborhood hotel charts, eight photo-spotlit dining districts, and more restaurant and hotel reviews than Frommerâ€™s, Fodorâ€™s Rome handily trumps the competition.
