The RS online store has the Naples Snapshot guide on sale this week, but its chapters are excerpted from the printed-in-2015 edition of the Italy guidebook (not even the 2017 Italy book, but the 2016, I believe) --
does anyone have an (informed) opinion about whether this guidebook is still plenty useful, or have there been enough changes to wait for the edition that should appear at the end of this year?
This is for use either this winter or during spring break.
Thanks for your thoughts.
This is a destination that Rick researched himself this year, which means more than the standard updates. If you wait for the 2018 edition, expanded Naples coverage will include:
* Updated the Archaeological Museum descriptions and map
* Refreshed Naples Walk and some sightseeing separated out
* Lungomare harborside promenade route covers further west
* Info on Galleria Borbonica, the Sanità District, the Catacombs of San Gennaro, the Cemetery of the Fountains
* More about the nonstop boat trip that circumnavigates Capri
* No more hotel listings for Amalfi Town
