Really Comprehensive, covers alotNovember 1, 2006 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
great book as it covers not just Verona but some of the cities and towns nearby, like lake garda. There was so much backround history about the area, which is quite good when most of the signs are in italian, french and german! Also has an excellent section on restaurants and cafes, again not only in Verona but the surrounding areas. We had such a great time with this book, as we passed it between us saying "do you know that...?" as we went round some of the places in the book. Its also great to syche yourself up before the trip.
Fantastic little bookNovember 25, 2003 19 out of 19 found this review helpful
I just took this book on holiday and it was fantastic, the book and the holiday! Great ideas for a whole range of things to do making a long weekend seem like not enough time to do everything. Plus the history and background sections make great reading on the plane on the way home so I felt I learnt something about where I was too. As there are no other books on Verona it's great to have such an excellent book as the one to choose.
One Book of VeronaNovember 25, 2003 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Since there's really nothing else available about this excellent Italian city in English, this should wipe the board. Luckily it's also a very good guidebook, small and pocketable but packed full of useful and interesting information. We found some great little restaurants from it. Amazon's blurb says it covers Padua, which it doesn't, but there's good bits on Lake Garda and Vicenza which are both good day trips nearby.
