Rome may be the Eternal City but it is constantly evolving, with exciting discoveries being made, monuments restored and museums rearranged. This latest edition of the Blue Guide includes what's new alongside its valued in-depth coverage of the city's history, sights, art, architecture and way of life. Chapters range from the historic centre to the outlying Via Appia, the Catacombs, the ruins of the ancient port city of Ostia, and Tivoli, with its famous gardens, fountains and classical ruins.
Series editor Annabel Barber joins as author with Alta Macadam, a long-standing and highly acclaimed writer of Blue Guides to Italy.
