Overview

This opening fold-out contains a general map of Rome to help you visualize the 6 large districts discussed in this guide, and 4 pages of valuable information, handy tips and useful addresses.

Discover Rome through 6 districts and 6 maps

Campo dei Fiori/ Pantheon/ Piazza Navona
Vaticano/ Piazza Cavour/ Prati
Testaccio/ Aventino/ Trastevere/ Ghetto
Tridente/ Piazza del Popolo/ Villa Borghese
Quirinale/ Esquilino/ Termini
Caracalla/ San Giovanni/ Colosseo

For each district there is a double-page of addresses (restaurants — listed in ascending order of price — cafés, bars, tearooms music venues and stores) followed by a fold-out map for the relevant area with the essential places to see (indicated on the map by a star *). These places are by no means all that Rome has to offer but to us they are unmissable. The grid-referencing system (A B2) makes it easy for you to pinpoint addresses quickly on the map.

Transportation and hotels in Rome
The last fold-out consists of a transportation map and 4 pages of practical information that include a selection of hotels.
A thematic index lists all the sites and addresses featured in this guide

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

The Washington Post
says, “The map guide lets you be inconspicuous: it’s as small and light as a novella, and its flip-out maps could pass as a flyer to a cool club.”

“Make sure you never lose your way in a strange city. Each of the Knopf MapGuides captures its city’s pith in a package as small as a passport wallet…”– Real Simple

“Knopf MapGuides are handy, practical and perfect for those of us who are slightly impaired when it comes to map-reading. You don’t have to search a huge crackling sheet with a microscopic index for one of 10,000 dots on the map…The extraordinary quality of the books’ beautiful hues and heavy paper also give these $8.95 guides an evocative quality that stands apart from the glossy, garish look of most travel books.” – Marin Independent Journal

“A good, handy portable item for a quick trip” – San Francisco Chronicle

“We love Knopf’s smart new map guides.” – Travel & Leisure

    Outstanding!

    I love this book because it's compact enough to carry in your coat pocket, but HUGE on information and maps. The Knopf series takes the city & divides it into sections. In two small pages it describes the main attractions, best places to eat, etc. in one section. Then wha-la! You fold out a detailed map for that section. The maps show streets that aren't included on most tourist maps. Before leaving home, I circled main attractions that we wanted to see, and easily walked Rome with no back-tracking. This book has been to Rome ten times, & the friends that have borrowed it can't rave about it enough! The heavy DK books are fun to read back at the hotel, but this one's a must-have while walking around the city!
