Slim, stylish and pocketable, Rome Directions is full of ideas for stop-overs, long-weekends and flying visits to one of Europe's most popular city break destinations, richly illustrated with hundreds of specially commissioned photos. The full-colour introduction features 28 themed spreads - from shopping and designer bars to Panoramic Rome and Best ice cream. The main section of the guide, "Places", gives a district-by-district account of the sights, restaurants, shops, transport links and nightlife - all generously illustrated. Every listing and review is pinpointed on accompanying user-friendly maps. It's like having a local friend plan your trip.
