Berlitz Handbook Italy(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Berlitz Handbook Italy is the ultimate practical,
inspirational guide to this fascinating destination, with 304 pages
combining authoritative narrative detail and stunning color
photography. What sets the guide apart is the illuminating Unique
Experiences section, packed full of practical advice on how to make
the most of all the opportunities unique to Italy – from indulging
in food and wine to shopping in style and taking to the ski
slopes.
　　The guide starts with a rundown of Italy’s Top 25 Attractions,
ranging from the iconic Colosseum in Rome to Tuscany’s beautiful
landscapes. In the Trip Planner you’ll find itineraries outlining
how best to maximise your time in Italy, whether you’re embarking
on one week absorbing great art or a fortnight around Naples.
　　The Places Section divides Italy into eight regions – starting in
the Eternal City of Rome and finishing up in the sun-scorched
Mediterranean islands of Sicily and Sardinia. Each chapter is
color-coded for easy reference, and features everything you’ll need
to know about the sights and attractions in the area as well as
maps to help you get around and carefully chosen listings of the
best places to sleep, eat, drink and get active. The Places section
is interspersed with fully mapped tours, suggesting a classic route
such as a walk through Venice’s eastern Castello quarter or the
Lake Maggiore Express cruise-and-mountain-railway; and Cultural
Spreads that give a striking insight into an element of Italy’s
culinary, artistic, sporting or popular culture, from gorgeous
villas and gardens in northwest Italy to Siena’s frantic Palio
horse race.
　　Further practical advice is provided in a chapter dedicated to
accommodations, transportation, health and safety, money and
budgeting, responsible travel, and family holidays. The Setting the
Scene chapter is devoted to Italy’s historical and cultural
background, plus information on the country’s cuisine.
Finally, a handy 8-page Phrasebook section provides a wealth of
language expertise for which the Berlitz brand is famous.
