Eyewitness Travel Guide: Italy

Discover the charming and eccentric country of Italy with this full-colour DK Eyewitness Travel Guide. The hundreds of photographs, maps and illustrations will whet your appetite and make planning your Italian escape a pleasure, whatever your holiday desires are, from soaking up the romance in Verona, basking in the warm evening sun in Tuscany, or gaping at the ancient ruins lining the streets of Rome. There are new detailed maps of towns and regions, as well as unique cutaways and detailed floor plans for all the must-sees. The sights, beaches, markets and festivals are covered for each town and there are detailed reviews and recommendations for accommodation, restaurants, shopping and entertainment for every budget. The DK Eyewitness Travel Guide explores all you need to know about the history, the architecture and the art of this stylish and charismatic country - and still finds room to recommend a wine to go with the risi e bisi or the maccheroni con le sarde.
