Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To walk through Florence is to step into one of the most remarkable histories of any European city. From its establishment by Julius Caesar in the first century BC, through its Golden Age at the epicentre of the Italian Renaissance, to its position as an iconic cultural destination in the twenty-first century, Florence is a small city that packs a lot of punch. This is the city of Dante and Boccaccio, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, the Medici, Botticelli, Donatello and the `Mad Monk' Savonarola. Their stories permeate every corner of Florence, but the city's contemporary scene is just as alluring, from cutting edge art and fashion to food. It is only by exploring Florence on foot that the visitor can truly experience everything the city has to offer.

Book excerpt: Enjoy exploring Florence in beautiful Tuscany. Florence was the centre of the art Renaissance but also a place of political intrigue. The powerful families vied with each other to gain control of this extraordiary city with many plots, murders, and revolts. Explore the streets of the old town, stroll along the Arno, and of course visit the museums to see all the legendary masterpieces. There are five self-guided walks, and each one will take you step-by-step into the most interesting parts of Florence. They include maps of each walk section to make navigation as easy as possible. Excerpt from the book: "Those of us with a more morbid taste will gaze at Galileo's finger which seems to be making a rather rude gesture, perhaps to Rome for taking nearly 400 years to believe his theories. The museum seems to be gathering bits of Galileo, as they have his thumb, index, and middle finger - that's almost a hand!!"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rome, the Eternal City - birthplace of western civilisation and soul of the ancient world - has a history that stretches back two thousand five hundred years. It is also one of the most-visited places in the world, but where does one begin to delve into two millennia of history, culture, art and architecture, whilst also navigating the vibrant modern city? Mario Erasmo here guides the traveller through Rome's many layers of history, exploring the streets, museums, piazze, ruins and parks of this 'city of the soul'. Punctuated with anecdote, myth and legend, these unique walks often retrace the very steps taken by ancient Romans, early Christians, medieval pilgrims, Renaissance artists and aristocrats on the Grand Tour. Here is a rich cultural history of Rome that brings its epic past alive, illuminating the extraordinary sights and fascinating secrets of one of Europe's most beguiling cities.

Book excerpt: Much of Florence's art is not in her world-famous museums but in her streets, and those treasures can only be seen by those who explore this lovely, medieval city on foot. The four intimate walking tours in Florencewalks lead you through centuries of Italian history and architecture--around corners that hide marble gods and goddesses, down hushed alleys pervaded by the aroma of spices and pastas, out onto sun-washed piazzas flanked by churches and palazzos and open-air markets. Easily completed in a morning of afternoon, each walk includes plenty of spots along the way to sit and read, rest, or browse. In addition to maps of each walk, and more than thirty photographs, Florencewalks also contains a detailed section of visitor information and advice, a concise chronology of the city's history, an index, and a list of particularly special trattorias, wine bars, and shops.
