National Geographic Walking Rome, 3rd Edition

by National Geographic

Overview

In Rome, to walk in places rich in history, savor the majestic atmosphere of St. Peter, and mingle with the crowd in the streets and squares, a good guide is needed, because the complex structure of the city can make it difficult to orient yourself, with street names changing from one block to another and roads that curve, rise, and fall through the legendary seven hills on which the capital of the Roman Empire was founded. The Tiber contains much of the historic center on its left bank, while Trastevere and the Vatican are on the right. The 15 carefully planned itineraries, created by an expert travel writer, showcase the best attractions of the city and offer insights on the best of things to see and do. Travelers will find first-rate, useful information to ensure a rewarding, authentic, and memorable urban experience.
