Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2007

This deceptively small map of ARome puts most guidebooks to shame. Pocket Pilots city map/guides are shirt-pocket sized, easy-to-fold, laminated, easy to read, and packed to bursting with useful information, including how to use/navigate the public transit system, a brief and pithy guide to the citys most popular points of interest, a neighborhood-by-neighborhood description of the city, listings of parks, cultural events, and hot spots, notes on local cuisine, and useful phrases - and, above all, a street map featuring magnifications of prime areas.

Editorial Reviews

Review

We found these really cool maps that fold down to 3""x3""... for Rome, Venice, and Florence. They are called Pocket-Pilot maps (www.pocket-pilot.info). They are jammed with informative street maps, sites, transportation, etc. yet they are so small they are not cumbersome at all to carry around. And they are laminated. --http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g187895-i68-k567275-Best_map_of_Florence-Florence_Tuscany.html Posted on 12:40 pm, April 15, 2006 by LoveToTravel!

This review is from: Rome Laminated Pocket Map by Pocket-Pilot (Map)

I now have several of these maps and they are GRRREAT!!! Rome, Venice, London, New York, Florence to name a few.

Hardy tough and well thought out with good detail. One side is all map and the other is brief highlights of the city and some facts, listings, top sights and break out of the "quarters" of the city.

Small and compact perfect for traveling. And it includes rail lines and bus routs in great detail.

If you want a good travel map of a city, don't hesitate, get it, you won't be disappointed!

This tiny map comes folded 3"x3" very convenient for those who want to pack light and get the lay of the land before arrival. I will often look at areas on google maps or google earth and then locate them on my little map for future reference. I bought one of each for Rome, Florence and Venice for my upcoming travels in Italy.

This review is from: Rome Laminated Pocket Map by Pocket-Pilot (Map)

I took probably 3 or 4 maps with me when I went overseas to study in Rome for a semester, and this one ended up being my very favorite. Streets, piazzas, churches, parks, museums, stations and sites were identified much more comprehensively and clearly than in any of my other maps--although, I did wish it had a bit more of Trastevere on there. Also has a little 5"x5" section for the area surrounding Rome, which was a great reference for day trips. It held up very well despite being used almost every day for three months and because it is smaller, I could take it out without having to look too much like the stereotypical tourist. Rome is crazy, particularly when you get into its medieval city planning, so no guidebook is going to have all the alleys and hidden streets. Part of the experience of the city (and traveling in general) is getting lost, but this map helped me coordinate myself when I needed to.
