Finding Florence's Top Tourist Haunt

Where: Florence, Italy

Even though we mentioned Rick Steves yesterday, you've got to be careful when it comes to the Euro travel guru. That's because you're not the only one who's heard of his guidebooks. (And that's one reason we like to pack Rough Guides.)

But why skip the Rick Steves advice? Because of this item in Travel Weekly's answer to Page Six, Travel Confidential:

While in Florence, she and her husband consulted "Rick Steves' Italy 2006" to find a restaurant that was popular with locals and not a tourist trap. They decided on Trattoria Nella. When they walked into the establishment, they discovered a packed restaurant and spotted six tables with -- you guessed it -- copies of "Rick Steves' Italy 2006."

Doesn't sound too "back door" to us, Rick.

Rick Steves

If you think anything Rick Steves writes about is "off the beaten track" you're crazy. This guy has the #1 selling guide to Italy and a TV show - all the "regular" people out there overrun anything he talks about. He has been singled out as "ruining" the Cinque Terre (depends on who you talk to though).

Rick Steves

Well it's a tourist hotspot now because of Rick's popular guide. You many find this Florence restaurant guide is of more use.
