Frommer's Irreverent Guide to Rome (Irreverent Guides)

"Like being taken around by a savvy local."
-The New York Times

"Little fluff and lots of fun."
-Boston Globe

"Hipper and savvier than other guides."
-Diversion magazine

Are you tired of cliche-ridden guidebooks packed with promotional fluff? Then move over to the IRREVERENT GUIDES-the travel series that no tourist board would dare to recommend.

Look inside for the lowdown on:
* Hotels for the well-heeled and the sensibly-shod
* Where to see monks' bones, "talking" statues, and lesser-known Michelangelos
* Attractions to line up for-and those to skip
* Where-and when-to enjoy a proper cappuccino
* Shops to scour for the latest bags, boots, and papal vestments
* The best piazzas, outdoor cafes, and discos for people watching, wine sipping, nightclubbing, and doing as the Romans do
