Description

The Blue Guides are the historical reference that has accompanied travelers since 1841. Over the decades, they have adapted to the evolution of travel. In 2024, they are renewing themselves to regain their vocation as a high-end cultural guide.

In this new Rome guide, our authors tell you about the art, history, culture and daily life of the Eternal City, this living museum that knows how to maintain an incessant dialogue between past and present. You will find:

• All the keys to understanding ancient Rome, the Rome of the popes and its genius artists (Raphael, Michelangelo, Bernini, Caravaggio, etc.), but also the current influence of the bustling capital of Italy.
• 20 walks to explore the city in depth, discovering its must-sees (the forums, the Capitol, the Pantheon, the Piazza di Spagna, the Villa Borghese, the Vatican, etc.) but also its more secret places.
• Guided tours of major museums and sites of ancient Rome.
• 2 getaways to Ostia and Tivoli.
• An address book rigorously selected by our authors.
• Detailed maps of every walk and major museum.
