Imagine wandering Rome's backstreets to a trattoria buzzing with locals, or slipping into Florence's lesser-known galleries without elbowing through selfie sticks. That's the magic this Frommer's Rome, Florence, and Venice 2025 guide unlocks for you. Written by three Italian experts who've lived and breathed these cities, it's your ticket to the real Italy—not the postcard version.
Italy's classic trio of cities draws millions, but most visitors stick to the beaten path, missing the charm. This guide cuts through that with detailed itineraries that steer you to quieter times and routes. You'll get honest reviews of hotels, restaurants, shops, and nightlife across budgets, complete with star ratings and 'skip this' advice to save time and money.
Practicality is key here. A detachable fold-out map keeps you oriented, while chapters on transportation, prices, and phrases (with pronunciations) make navigating a breeze. Venture beyond with rewarding day trips to Pompeii's ruins, Verona's romance, or Tuscany's rolling hill towns—each outlined step-by-step.
Whether you're a first-timer plotting a two-week loop or a repeat visitor chasing new angles, this paperback companion fits in your bag and feels like a trusted friend. Picture sipping aperitivo in a Venetian bacaro as the sun sets, or hiking Florence's hills for panoramic views—all stress-free thanks to savvy money-saving tips on airfare and attractions. Frommer's has guided travelers for over 65 years; this 2025 edition keeps that legacy alive with fresh intel. Grab it, pack light, and let Italy surprise you at every turn.
