  This guide to Rome and the surrounding areas has been revised to take into account the numerous archaeological discoveries made in the centre of the city since the last edition. The practical information has also been updated, including information about hotels, restaurants, opening times and transport. The itineraries provided for the exploration of the environs of Rome have been reorganized and expanded so that the region of Northern Lazio, including Tarquinia, Tuscania, Bolsena, Viterbo, Rieta and the Sabine Hills have been included for the first time. The guide includes detailed descriptions of all the city's monuments and museums, and a series of carefully planned walks around the city.
