The Revealed Rome Handbook: 2020 Update
Experience Rome like a local with the help of this easy-to-navigate handbook, filled with tips, tricks, and local secrets to exploring the Eternal City €" now updated, expanded, and new for 2017. Written by Amanda Ruggeri, BBC editor, travel journalist and the blogger behind www.revealedrome.com, this book is not a guidebook. Instead, it's full of advice to help you enjoy every aspect of your trip, including tips like:
-how to pick an authentic Roman restaurant at a glance -budget accommodation options you may not have considered -the one place where you should never take a taxi -how to skip the lines at the Colosseum, the Vatican and more -brand-new sights in Rome that you won't want to miss -how to eat gluten-free or vegetarian in Italy -whether you should invest in a Roma Pass -one thing to never use Tripadvisor for -key tips for booking (and taking) trains -where to find drinking water, and bathrooms, while out and about -how to navigate Rome's public transportation system -how to protect yourself from pickpockets -the best neighborhoods in Rome for shopping
...and much, much more.
The original 2012 version sold thousands of copies. Why was it time for an update? First, even in Rome, things change. And second, on a personal note, I€ve discovered even more about the city, and €" not least from talking to more than 250 clients in my travel consulting sessions over the years €" learned much more about what visitors to Rome really want to know.
In fact, this version of the book is twice as long as the original book €" but still just as fun to read and easy to navigate.
Whether you're coming to Rome for the first time or the fifth, you'll find it one of the most useful tools out there to not only plan your trip, but to have the most rewarding, fun time possible.
Until 15 July only, for each book sold, ‚¬1/$1/£1 per book (depending on location of sale) will be donated to the American Institute for Roman Culture, a nonprofit which protects and campaigns for Rome€s cultural heritage.
