Are you tired of cliché-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.
