Frommer's Italy 2026
ByPublisher Description
Most importantly, none of these journalists are shy about telling you what you should see…and what you can skip without regret. As well, no entity has paid to be in this guide—or any Frommer’s guide. At Frommer’s, we pride ourselves on decades of journalistic integrity.
With helpful advice and honest recommendations from Frommer’s expert authors, you’ll walk among the ancient ruins of Pompeii, float along the canals of Venice, appreciate Renaissance masterworks in Florence, explore off-the-beaten-path Puglia and live la dolce vita in Rome―as well as discover timeless wonders such as the vineyards of Tuscany and cliff-top towns perched along the Amalfi Coast and the Cinque Terre.
Inside the guide:
Full-color photos and helpful maps throughout, including a detachable foldout map
- 6 Detailed itineraries for planning your trip to suit your schedule and interests (and help you avoid lines and crowds)
- Compelling cultural information so that you’ll better understand the history, cuisine, and traditions of Italy
- Candid reviews of the best restaurants, historic sights, museums, tours, shops, and experiences―and no-punches-pulled info on the ones not worth your time and money. We also include star ratings, so you can scan the text quickly and see which options are most appealing.
- Accurate, up-to-date info on transportation, useful websites, telephone numbers, health care options and more
- Budget-planning help with exact pricing listed, so there’s never any guessing, along with ways to save money, whether you’re traveling on a shoestring or in the lap of luxury
- Helpful planning advice for getting to Italy, getting around, getting the best price on lodgings and attractions
