The focal point of the Renaissance, Florence is also a bustling modern city, a heady mix of classic and contemporary. Written by locals, Time Out Florence guides visitors through both aspects of the city. Here are Florence and Tuscany’s best accommodations and dining options in every budget, with tips on buying wine and visiting local vineyards. Mini-guides, including street maps, direct visitors through nearby towns like Pisa, Siena, Arezzo, and Lucca. Museums and galleries, along with new building projects such as a high-speed train link and a new exit to the Uffizi, are detailed, along with the unusual satellite town, Firenze Nova, that Florence is building from scratch. This edition features new sidebars, photographs, and listings; updated maps; and a new culture chapter for context.

Dissapointment
I went to Italy over the holiday after doing quite a bit of research with 4 or five different types of tour guides. these seemed great for their great history section and great "local" restaurant guides. But i couldn't find any of the streets found in the books. Im not sure if they are out of date or what, but we couldn't use any of the books suggestions. I also rain into another set of travelers from England who found the same problem. Stick to Rough Guides or Rick Steves. Those are at least correct and updated.
good travel resource
Time Out guidebooks are one of the best travel guides available. They are comprehensive, but small enough to be easy to pack. This edition had very good information on the smaller hill towns as well as very good maps. Highly recommended to carry this book with you on your trip. Be sure to check the edition's date of publication, as travel info can change rapidly.
