Footprint guides have an established reputation, built up since 1921, for catering for more adventurous and individual travellers.

Widely recognized for their reliability and independent writing style, each guide in the Footprint Italia series helps visitors plan their trip, with lively insights on subjects such as the Roman Empire and coffee culture. An introductory section profiles the region, with an overview map, selection of notable highlights, a month by month calendar and the best of the area in books and on screen. Each section has a particular focus on local sights and places of interest, with details of accommodation, restaurants and nightlife also included.

A ‘Practicalities’ section also gives guidance on getting there and around, Italian for beginners and a Directory with information on disabled travellers, etiquette, families, health, insurance, money, police, post, safety, tipping and other useful tourist information.

There is also a ‘Footnotes’ chapter with a basic language guide for travellers and information about the author. A useful distance chart tailored to the destination is also included in the inside back cover.
