Spend less, see more. This is the philosophy behind Pauline Frommer’s guides. Written by travel expert Pauline Frommer (who is also the daughter of Arthur Frommer), and her team of hand-picked writers, these guides show how to truly experience a culture, meet locals, and save money along the way.

<li> Industry secrets on how to find the best hotel rooms </li> <li> Details on alternative accommodations, great neighborhood restaurants, and cool, offbeat finds </li> <li> Packed with personality and opinions </li> </ul>
Spend Less and See More in Italy Are You Ready to Travel Smart? If you'd like to get the most out of your dollar and your trip, this is the guide for you. I put a fresh spin on budget travel, showing you how to see the best for less and how to see it in a more authentic way--the way the locals do. Instead of spending $300 a night for a chain hotel, why not stay in a light-filled apartment in Rome's historical Trastevere neighborhood from just $125 or in one of Italy's monasteries for as little as $35? Or how about enjoying a plate of hearty appetizers at Venice's Cantino do Mori, so you can splurge on Paolo Senni's tagliata di fesa di vitella at Cane &amp; Gato in Sienna? Let me show you the "other" Italy--the one only insiders know about. Take a one-day paper marbling class in Venice or learn to cook the perfect rag? in Bologna. These are only a few of the great ways to get closer to the culture of Italy. Read on for more!

Entirely brand-new, Frommer's Italian Islands clues you in to the region's best experiences, from enjoying secluded beaches or sophisticated nightlife to exploring towns and villages or unique archaeology. 
Think you've seen it all in Italy? Our author hits all the highlights, with the best of the islands, from the Tuscan archipelago to Siciliy and Sardinia, then moves off the beaten track to the dramatic and volcanic Aeolian Islands, beautiful and historic Aegadi Islands, the Tremiti Islands—aka the "pearls of the Apulian Adriatic Sea," and many more. She's checked out all the best hotels and restaurants in person, and offers authoritative, candid reviews that will help you find choices to suit your taste and budget, whether this is your first visit to Italy, or your twentieth.
