Frommer's Italy 2017 (Complete Guide)

by Donald Strachan, Stephen Keeling, Stephen Brewer, Michelle Schoenung, Melanie Renzulli

Since Italy is too large and varied to be researched by one author or even two, Frommer's Italy written by multiple authors and is among the most up-to-date and fastidiously fact-checked of all the guidebooks on Italy presently published. That characteristic is perhaps the reason why Frommer's Italy is high up on any list of best-sellers, and why it is also regarded, by us, as a jewel in Frommer's crown.

Six of Frommer's finest travel journalists have collaborated to produce the definitive guidebook to Italy. Most of them live in Italy, all of them publish constantly about Italy in the world's most prestigious media, and some have received major awards for their writings on the country.

The book is updated yearly, printed in large, easy to read fonts and contains:

- Dozens of maps, from regional and city maps to a handy fold-out map at the front
- Gorgeous, full color photos
- Opinionated reviews of the country’s top historic sights, museums and other attractions as well as hotels, restaurants, shops and nightlife venues in all price ranges.
- Handy sample itineraries so you can make the most of your vacation time.
- Exact pricing so there are no ugly surprises.
- Star ratings, chosen by our authors and taking value into account, so you can quickly scan the book and pick out the options that will best suit your tastes and budget.

No significant Italian location is left out. The book deals with: Rome, Florence, Tuscany, Umbria and the Marches, Bologna and Emilia Romagna, Venice, Milan, Piedmont and The Lakes, Genoa and the Cinque Terre, Campania, Naples, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast, Sicily. The 2017 edition adds material on Puglia and the best of Basilicata.

The Mini Rough Guide to New York City (Mini Rough Guides)

by Stephen Keeling, Martin Dunford, Andrew Rosenberg

INTRODUCTION
The most beguiling city in the world, New York is an adrenaline-charged, history-laden place that holds immense romantic appeal for visitors. Wandering the streets here, you’ll cut between buildings that are icons to the modern age – and whether gazing at the flickering lights of the midtown skyscrapers as you speed across the Queensboro bridge, experiencing the 4am half-life downtown, or just wasting the morning on the Staten Island ferry, you really would have to be made of stone not to be moved by it all. There’s no place quite like it.
While the events of September 11, 2001, which demolished the World Trade Center, shook New York to its core, the populace responded resiliently under the composed aegis of then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Until the attacks, many New Yorkers loved to hate Giuliani, partly because they saw him as committed to making their city too much like everyone else’s. To some extent he succeeded, and during the late Nineties New York seemed cleaner, safer and more liveable, as the city took on a truly international allure and shook off the more notorious aspects of its reputation. However, the maverick quality of New York and its people still shines as brightly as it ever did. Even in the aftermath of the World Trade Center’s collapse, New York remains a unique and fascinating city – and one you’ll want to return to again and again.
WHAT TO SEE
You could spend weeks in New York and still barely scratch the surface, but there are some key attractions – and some pleasures – that you won’t want to miss. There are the different ethnic neighborhoods, like lower Manhattan’s Chinatown; and the more artsy concentrations of SoHo, TriBeCa, and the East and West Villages. Of course, there is the celebrated architecture of corporate Manhattan; and there are the museums, not just the Metropolitan and MoMA, but countless other smaller collections that afford weeks of happy wandering. In between sights, you can eat just about anything, at any time, cooked in any style; you can drink in any kind of company; and sit through any number of obscure movies. The more established arts – dance, theater, music – are superbly catered for; and New York’s clubs are as varied and exciting as you might expect. For the avid consumer, the choice of shops is vast, almost numbingly exhaustive in this heartland of the great capitalist dream.

The Rough Guide to New York City

by Rough Guides, Stephen Keeling, Sarah Hull, Andrew Rosenberg

The Rough Guide to New York City has detailed coverage of the city's sights and attractions and stunning photography throughout to illustrate its great buildings, iconic landmarks and distinctive neighbourhoods. Up-to-date listings, clear maps and extensive practical information will ensure you make the most of your time in the city. The introduction gives an overview of New York City; itineraries to help you explore neighbourhoods, discover great places to eat and escape the typical visitor's path; and a select list of things not to miss - the best museums, festivals, night-time activities and much more. The guide then goes from neighbourhood to neighbourhood across the boroughs: historic Financial District, Chelsea's High Line park, the churches of Harlem, Brooklyn's Coney Island and the furthest reaches of the Bronx. With essentials on how to get around, boxes on hidden gems in some of the most popular areas, and all kinds of top-5 lists, you'll be sure to find the best the city has to offer, whether you're a first-time or regular visitor. Make the most of your time with The Rough Guide to New York City.
