AN IMPORTANT NOTE
The world is a dynamic place. Hotels change ownership, restaurants hike their prices, museums alter their opening hours, and busses and trains change their routings. And all of this can occur in the several months after our authors have visited, inspected, and written about, these hotels, restaurants, museums and transportation services. Though we have made valiant efforts to keep all our information fresh and up-to-date, some few changes can inevitably occur in the periods before a revised edition of this guidebook is published. So please bear with us if a tiny number of the details in this book have changed. Please also note that we have no responsibility or liability for any inaccuracy or errors or omissions, or for inconvenience, loss, damage, or expenses suffered by anyone as a result of assertions in this guide.

A Look At Rome, Florence & Venice
F or the first-time visitor to Italy, there is a classic itinerary that forms the heart of this guidebook: Rome, Florence, Venice. It is these magical three places that overawe all others and that never fail to excite. The highlights are, of course, legendary: In Rome, the Roman Forum, best reached by first ascending the Capitoline steps designed by Michelangelo; the Vatican, the Colosseum, the Pantheon and the Piazza Navona. In Florence, Michelangelos David in the Accademia Museum; the Uffizi and the Pitti Palace, the Medici Chapels and the Ghiberti Doors. In Venice, the Piazza San Marco, the Ducal Palace, the Rialto Bridge, and a ride by vaporetto or gondola along the canals. Italy can support a lifetime of travel, and many avid travelers make countless repeat trips there. But for the three major Italian cities covered in this book, we believe our Easy Guide approach will prove just the right thing!
From all of us at Frommers: Buon Viaggio!

The Pantheon (), once a pagan temple, and since the 7th century a Catholic church, is Romes best-preserved ancient building.
Rome
The interior of St. Peter's Basilica () in Vatican City. One of the holiest sites in all Christendom, the church was built on the tomb of St. Peter.
The Roman Colosseum (), inaugurated in 80 a.d. , was once the site of bloody gladiator contests and wild animal fights. It could also be flooded for mock naval battles.
The double spiral staircase at the Vatican Museums (), inspired by a 1505 design by Bramante, allows visitors to pass in both directions without encountering one another.
Now a jumble of ruins and fragments, the Roman Forum () was once the center of commercial, political and religious life in the ancient Empire.
Neptune presides over the baroque Trevi Fountain (), where tossing in a coin is supposed to guarantee a return trip to Rome.
Artisanal gelato () in a range of flavors. At least one cone (cono) or small cup (coppetta) per day is practically a requirement when visiting Rome, especially in the summer!
The "School of Athens" by Raphael Sanzio, adorns the Stanze di Raffaello (Raphael Rooms) of the Vatican Museums (), in what was once the library and office of Pope Julius II.
Once the site of public executions, Campo de' Fiori () hosts a colorful produce and souvenir market by day and a lively restaurant and bar scene at night.
Al Ceppo () restaurant is renowned for its grilled and roasted meats, but be sure to save room for dessert!
The ancient ruins of Pompeii, reachable via a day trip from Rome, reveal the preserved Roman city, including paster casts of Vesuvius's victims in their moments of death in August, 79 a.d . See .
St. Peters Basilica () and the Vatican, viewed from the Tiber River. A climb to the top of the dome offers breathtaking views of Rome.
Florence
A local vibe pervades in the working-class neighborhoods of Oltrarno, San Niccol & San Frediano, collectively known as Florences lively Left Bank. See .
