Time Out Naples...T.O. Does It Once Again

Naples is the latest addition to my Time Out guides. Including New York, Paris, Frankfurt, Bombay and Madrid, I've found all of Time Out's publications to be highly dependable for what's happening. Not only does the Naples guide provide highlights of Naples area history, its recommendations for the must-see eateries and sights are spot on. My recent trip took me to the area for 7 days for a wedding, but using this guide let me make the most of every free moment I had. Only thing that is ever short-changed(as is the case with many guides) are the little out of the way places that one simple stumbles upon, are incredibly cool and actually make the tourist feel like they've stepped out of the controlled Disney-theme presentation of many cities by many guides. This being said, I find that Time Out is always a reliable source for a well rounded experience, particularly if one wants to get a feel for what the local life is like.

Time OUt Naples

Very informative book. Maps are included which always helps....and has good info on day trips outside of city.

An excellent guide

This is a thorough neighborhood-by-neighborhood guide of Naples. The food recommendations are all excellent, as are the maps and the suggested itineraries. The sections on historical and cultural background are also very informative and well-written. I stayed in Naples for over a week and was pleased to find that this book provided enough in-depth recommendations to go beyond the usual rapid-fire tourist itineraries. I have sought out other Time Out city guides based on my experience with this book.

This is the essential guide book to Naples!

This book features all up to date and hard to find information about the area which is one of the most alluring and interesting spots I have ever been. There is plenty of off the beaten track sites to visit as well as great restaurants and bed and breakfasts. It is listed in an easy manner. My only complaint is the cover is a bit thin in the paper department, curling already when I have had it only a few weeks. But it is sooo worth having if you are planning a trip to Bella Napoli. capri and the Amalfi Coast. Buon Viaggio!

Small book - Big content

My friends and I recently returned from Naples and the surrounding area. We used this book and it provided valuable information on everthing from how to get there to what to see when you get there to choice little tidbits such as how to pronounce "Capri". For those of us who enjoy language, there's a glossary of terms that gives some of that extra knowledge that really adds to the enjoyment of exploring a new or even oft-visited area. The book also contains several good maps - even a street index to the Naples map, not always included with guidebook maps. There are also several inserts containing either a story about a historical figure or more in-depth information about a particular point of interest. It's amazing how much information is packed into such a small book. You can visit the region with this book alone and be well-equipped. I have purchased Time-Out magazines in London but I didn't know of the guidebooks until I purchased this one. For my next trip I'll certainly look for another of these guides. Good pictures too!
