I bought this book for £1 during a closing down sale at a bookshop in Hay-On-Wye during the 2011 festival.
I will soon be on my way to Rome and home to make good use of it.
When i have finished I wil leave it in Rome for someone else to make use of.

I have enjoyed using this book during my 5 days here in Rome. It may be outdated with regards to practicalities but it is still very good for historical information. I did not do any of the entire walks, what I did was use it for information when I was in a particular area.
My top tips for Rome:
The ticket for the Colloseum is 12 euros as it is a joint ticket with the forum and Paletine Hill. The crowds at the Colloseum are huge so go and buy the ticket and the Roman Forum next door - there were only 4 people in front of me there. When at the Colloseum you then bypass the queue by going in the groups entrance then along the middle isle. You will be very greatful when you see that the queue inside is longer than the one outside.
At St.Peters the queue to get into the Basilica can also be huge. I did not want to stand in the blazing sun so went into the exhibition about Pope John Paul II instead (red casrpet on the left and free). When I exited I found myself right next to the door into the Basilica, no-one noticed that I went in rather than down the steps, thus avoiding any queue.
I will leave this book on the steps at St Peters for someone else to use.
