Trams, metros and automobiles! Streetwise Amsterdam is the map you need. Wandering through Amsterdam's semi-circular canals from Anne Frank House to the Van Gogh Museum, you'll find your way without difficulty with Streetwise Amsterdam. All major museums and points of interest are shown.

Daring enough to try public transportation? This map shows tram and metro routes for the city center together with the street - no more trying to match public transport grids to street maps!

Very small, laminated to be waterproof (which any Amsterdam veteran knows is invaluable!), and no fumbling with huge paper maps that won't refold correctly! If you will be traveling outside of the city center you will need a larger map as this does not cover the entire metropolitan Amsterdam area.

As an American living in Amsterdam for three years, I still use this map to find the quaint cafe's and other treasures hiding in small side streets and alleyways.

This is an excellent street map. A nice touch is that it is covered in plastic, making it rain-proof. However, the marginal note says it was updated in 2004. This so-called update must have been done on the basis of out-of-date data. Some tram lines have changed their routes and some have been discontinued. In addition, no bus lines are given on this map. This map is recommended for visitors who do not intend to leave the tourist area, but the visitor who wishes to explore outside the tourist area and who requires more complete and accurate public transportation data should purchase a map at the government transportation office across the street from the main train station. Although many museums and other attractions are indicated on the map and referenced on the index overleaf, some museums and attractions are not found there. A visitor should also have a good guidebook to learn about other sights to see.

This was an invaluable tool for the two times I've visited Amsterdam. The map is very easy to read, has enough landmarks added to keep you busy, and the "glossary" on the back of the map will ensure you never get lost. Whenever I hear of a friend visiting Amsterdam, I make sure they buy this map before setting foot in the country. I can't recommend this map enough.

Convenient pocket map! Included Tram routes and stops, which was very helpful. Key points of interest and attractions mapped as well.

There are maps with more detail, but this map is an essential. Lightweight, laminated (waterproof), pocket-sized, and with almost all the detail that most visitors need. Fully-opened, it is still small, unobtrusive, and easy to use. A handy gazeteer lists many streets and monuments, with map grid locations. There are some very tiny streets/alleys that are hard to make out, but that is true for almost any
pocket-sized folding map.

Amsterdam is insanely confusing. like many old european cities, none of the streets make sense and it can be really intimidating to navigate on foot (but the best way to see the city). i have been twice, the first time with a different map and the second time with.

it was like night and day. i realized the second time around that i had been practically on top of many of the places i wanted to see (ex, the Anne Frank Museum & House) but totally missed out because i couldn't figure out the map/crazy city that has 10 different languages. the streetwise map made all the difference-it so easy this time i got relax and enjoy myself instead of being frustrated and wandering aimlessly.

the streetwise was really easy to read, get a sense of the city and plan your day efficiently. it also helps because you can show it to locals and they can point you to hidden little gems, we found the best beer-bar i have every been to that way. so glad i had this map this time.

there is just too much to see/do in this city to waste time.

i bought this product on a whim and was it a life saver. the map was easy to read and navigate. because it was laminated it held up great, was drunk proof and survived numerous visits to the amsterdam night-life and pub scene. we literally never felt like we were lost with this thing. it fit easily in my back pocket and was a good companion to 'get lost:the cool guide to amsterdam' guide book that we purchased as well. i highly recommend this map...smartest thing i did to preopare for my trip.

An excellent map - easy to read and to fold. Highly recommended.

Nice little map, I used it extensively on my trip to Amsterdam. The transit routes were a helpful bonus. An image of the larger Amsterdam area would have been nice, but that would require a larger format. Also, a big warning about the killer bikes of Amsterdam would have saved our lives. All in all, a worthwhile purchase.

I took this map to Amsterdam but wound up leaving it in the hotel room because it's so hard to read. The print is tiny, and the gray/black color scheme doesn't help. Although it omitted many small streets, the free map offered by our hotel was more useful.

Ideally, you would carry this nicely indexed map to use when you are thoroughly lost among small neighborhood streets and a free hotel map for public transportation and convenient reference.
