Frommer's Memorable Walks in Rome

Frommers Memorable Walks in Rome
  • Bruce Murphy, Alessandra de Rosa

From the authors of Rome for Dummies, this inexpensive little book contains twelve recommended walks around the city. Each walk focusses on a particular area of Rome, with Trastevere being divided in two. the layout is simple and clear; each walk begins with a map and the route is clearly described, with each of the sights given its own heading. They've also taken the trouble to describe how one spot on the walk connects to the next, which should minimise the risk of getting lost (unless you choose to get lost, of course). They also give approximate durations for each walk, and suggested stop-off points for refreshments.

Memorable Walks in Rome is a narrow book which should fit neatly into a jacket pocket or a handbag. The walks are varied enough to be of interest whether you're a tourist on your first visit to Rome, or you've been here a while and want to get to know the city a little better.
