I have literally been subscribing to these travel ibooks from MobileReference. I have purchased 2 for Italy and 1 for Barcelona already and they are really fantastic books. This one for Rome is especially useful as it also provides safety tips and the content (ie history) of the landmarks are impressive. It is easy to navigate on the iPad and it is fantastic to read on the plane. I highly recommend the MobileReference ibooks.

The ebook adheres to the needs of those traveling from the U.S. The key sites are outlined thoroughly so you do not need to hire a tour guide if you do not want to spend the money. I would highly suggest this ebook to anyone going to Rome. The MobileReference guide gives practical advice regarding culture, safety, places to stay, how to navigate the city, prices of transportation, food and hotels, and much much more! The highly detailed color maps are very useful. They give you a way of figuring out where you are in relation to other places. The layout of the ebook is wonderful. The guide works perfect on my iPad.
