Best guide for UmbriaJan 31, 2005
By A Traveler
If you want a book with photos, choose an EyeWitness guidebook. If you want to reseach places to stay, purchase a Karen Brown guide to inns or hotels. But for in-depth information that focuses on the history, culture and arts in Umbria, Blue Guide Umbria is the best there is.
I lived in Perugia (the largest town in Umbria) for three months during which I traveled extensively throughout the region. The Blue Guide for Umbria was by far the most useful and most accurate of the 4 guide books I brought with me. Frankly,I should have left the rest at home.
While I wouldn't recommend Blue Guide Umbria for researching hotels, you can't go wrong with the ones listed. The restaurant lists are more than adequate and cover all price ranges. Most importantly, however, the hotels and restaurants listed are very appropriately categorized and rated (both in terms of cost and quality).
What I liked most about Blue Guide Umbria was being able to tell which towns, churches, museums and historical sites would really interest me and which would not. Most guides make every site and town seem spectacular. The Blue Guide Umbria was more discerning than most. The book also contained fairly complete and accurate information about the layout and content of churches and museums. For the traveler who wants to pack light but be well-informed, Blue Guide Umbria is a treasure.
