Are you dreaming of a vacation on the coast of Italy?
Frommer’s Amalfi Coast offers some important features including a section called The Best of Campania & the Amalfi Coast. Here you will discover some of the best Italy has to offer. Frommer’s has covered vistas, ruins, restaurants, spas, cathedrals, castles and museums.
The guide also offers a section called Planning Your Trip to Campania & the Amalfi Coast
This section includes a calendar of events so that visitors may plan ahead to attend festivals and cultural events. It also includes information on Italian visa requirements, entry procedures, weather, medical care and safety. In addition you will find details on sustainable tourism, escorted tours, wellness tours and wine and food tours. The section breaks down each of the tours and includes contact information.
I particularly liked that the Frommer’s Amalfi Coast guide included “finds” “value” and “kids” spots. These are exceptional spots that provide either value to your trip or locations that are especially good for families; finds include recommended restaurants or hotels that Frommer’s notes as an excellent option. In addition the guide offers specific insight for travelers with disabilities, gay and lesbian travelers as well as seniors, African Americans, family travelers, student travelers and singles travel.
I found it particarly helpful that Frommer’s gave a good deal of information on popular destinations such as Pompeii. They included train access, nearby hotels, a map of the site, highlights and a bit of the history. To a first time visitor this is valuable insight and Frommer’s gets kudo’s for the great coverage.
What I wish Frommer’s had added……………….I personally love a little color, color photos and color coded maps would be a sweet addition.
As an international traveler who travels with my pets I was disappointed that the guide made no mention of regulations for pet entry into Italy, nor did they mention hotels that allow pets. Having done my own research I’m aware of several Italian hotels that welcome pets and I feel this would have been a nice addition to their guide.
Shortly I will be giving my copy of Frommer’s Amalfi Coast guide to one lucky reader. Watch for a giveaway post that will include this excellent guide.
