Frommer's Northern Italy: Including Venice, Milan & the Lakes (Frommer's Complete)



Frommer's Northern Italy: Including Venice, Milan & the Lakes (Frommer's Complete)
John Moretti | 2008-03-31 00:00:00 | Frommers | 480 | Milan

Completely updated every edition! Frommer's Northern Italy is much more detailed and comprehensive than the major competition--it's simply the most reliable and in-depth guide you can buy.

It's personally researched and full of candid opinions. Our author has chosen the very best places to stay, from the grand hotels of Florence to charming and affordable inns and small hotels in Tuscany. And of course, we'll make sure that you dine memorably, whether you're splurging on a world-class restaurant in Florence or looking for a little-known trattoria that serves all the classics.

Wherever you go, you'll rely on Frommer's for authoritative but fun-to-use coverage of all the historic, artistic, and cultural treasures. You'll get a complete shopper's guide and the latest trip-planning advice on everything from bargain airfares to rail passes.


Reviews
This book was useful for finding hotels, but I was extremely frustrated with its maps. Perhaps I shouldn't have relied on them to find my way around Verona on a scorchingly hot day, but then again, I should have been advised to buy a detailed map once I hit the city. Too few streets were marked and the churches were not well identified. I was so angry that I swore never to buy a Frommer's guide again.

Ordered and downloaded book through Amazon Kindle to my Ipad, book came over great but the cover is

Frommer's Arizona 2010 not Frommer's Northern Italy. Called Amazon support and reported problem weeks ago.



NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM, WON'T BE ORDERING ANY MORE BOOKS!
Reviews
We found this book very useful in our recent travels especially for sights and dining. Did not agree with some of the hotel reviews so consider comparing to another guide book.

The book is very informative. A friend and I are going to Milan next March and we are doing research using the book.
Reviews
I've always liked Frommer's, mainly because the books are well-organized and provide a great overview and starting point. The attractions are clearly explained, with hours, admission fees, restrictions, & considerations. The hotel suggestions are generally good, though usually a little on the more expensive end, and in lieu of internet I find them generally reliable.

It can be a little dry and a little mainstream, but their books are usually updated with good regularity & is good for planning your sightseeing and transportation. More detailed information on ferries & hydrofoils (not just from Frommers but guide books in general) would be nice!
