The attractions are clearly explained, with hours, admission fees, restrictions, & considerations. The hotel suggestions are generally good, though usually a little on the more expensive end, and in lieu of internet I find them generally reliable. It can be a little dry and a little mainstream, but their books are usually updated with good regularity & is good for planning your sightseeing and transportation. More detailed information on ferries & hydrofoils (not just from Frommers but guide books in general) would be nice!Rating: 4 / 5 I’ve always liked Frommer’s, mainly because the books are well-organized and provide a great overview and starting point.

Did not agree with some of the hotel reviews so consider comparing to another guide book. Rating: 4 / 5 We found this book very useful in our recent travels especially for sights and dining.

A friend and I are going to Milan next March and we are doing research using the book. Rating: 4 / 5 The book is very informative.
