This review is from: Barcelona (Citymap Guide) (Paperback)

folks, this is the best idea for a tourbook/map that i have stumbled across yet. i'm not prone to raving, but this will garner praise from me until the cows come home (bearing foot & mouth) no doubt.

so, why is this so great? first of all, it's simple and well designed. the city is broken down into sections. you turn to those pages and there is a brief description of places to eat, shop, etc. the pages then open up into a map of the section with a description of major sites in the area.

brilliant! no fumbling around a big map trying to find your street. no squinting to figure out where you are. it's easy to find landmarks, metro stops, etc.

the card stock is nice and heavy and has lasted well even in my back pocket. the descriptions have been helpful without being too lengthy. and at this price, it's quite competitive with other maps while providing much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best map and guide ever, September 20, 2002

This book was the handiest, most useful travel book ever. Maps in easy-to-understand sections, easy to read, maps fold out but stay small, fits in the pocket - and has all those little bits of information - museum hours, phone numbers, metro lines, etc. - that you want in once place without hunting. Don't confuse these with Knopf's other travel books, which aren't nearly as good. I'm getting more of these guides, even for cities I'm familiar with.
