The new edition of the classic Blue Guide Rome is now out. Now all colour throughout with Blue Guides’ encyclopaedic depth of research, award-winning maps, site plans and selective but practical food, drink and accommodation recommendations:
Parts of Rome are blighted by over-tourism, others offer equally spectacular sights without the crowds.
And indeed even in the middle of Rome you can find yourself alone in front of a painting by Caravaggio or an extraordinarily powerful 2,000 year old Roman sculpture. But not always easy to find or even to be aware of.
The answer, to plan what to see and enjoy and understand it when you are there, is the new Blue Guide Rome:
Rome may be the Eternal City but it is constantly evolving, with exciting archaeological discoveries being made, monuments restored and opened to the public and museums rearranged. The latest developments are all covered in this new edition, which also visits the ruins of Ostia, the port of ancient Rome, and Tivoli, with its famous gardens, fountains and classical ruins.
