Frommer's EasyGuide to Rome, Florence and Venice 2017

by Stephen Keeling, Melanie Renzulli, Donald Strachan

There’s no better introduction to Italy than the classic itinerary of Rome, Florence and Venice. But it’s not dummy-proof, which is why we enlisted three of the world’s most knowledgeable Italy experts to pen this totally revised and updated annual guide. Melanie Renzulli, who lives in Rome, has been writing about travel for 15 years. She is presently the founder and editor of the travel blog "Italofile". Stephen Keeling is an Oxford graduate who won a much-coveted journalistic prize in 2008 for his Frommer's Guide to Tuscany and Umbria. Stephen Brewer has been writing travel guides for over three decades, usually focusing on Italy.

A tourist guide just like any other. A perishable list of phones and addresses and not much more.

I used the 2020 version. Fairly concise and user-friendly.

I like the Frommer's Guides and I'm finding this "EasyGuide" to be of great help in my planning. I haven't used these before, but the information seems good.

A fine guidebook. It has the info I want. I just wish they weren't so pretentious about it.
