Time Out Naples: Capri, Sorrento, and the Amalfi Coast (Time Out Guides)

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.

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.

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.
