In our guide books and on this website we recommend places to stay, eat, or sometimes just to have a coffee or a drink. See the Criteria for Recommendations and our Statement of Editorial Independence (we accept no payment for recommendations). Note that the Blue Guides have ALWAYS provided dining and acommodation recommendations, this is not a new fad.

We also have a page of ideas for some of the better cultural tours on offer.

To keep our entries up-to-date, your feedback is essential. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any views, corrections or omissions to our listings.

"This is a guidebook confidently focused almost exclusively on art and architecture, and although there are . . . pages of ‘practical information’ at the back, they are refreshingly not aimed at a back-packer readership." Apollo Magazine review of Blue Guide Florence.
