Fits in my wallet like a dream and folds out to show you the wonderful maze of the DC metro. It is laminated and really easy to use. Durable, portable, and overall, a really good buy. However - quick tip - I do use the Streetwise Washington, DC, Laminated City Center Street Map I bought a lot more. It has the same metro map integrated into it - so you do not need a separate one. So unless you are a lover of little pieces of very useful paper (maps etc) in places you always know you can access (wallet rather than handbag, cos you just might switch bags and forget it in the other one), then it may be a better buy to get the bigger map and save on this one. PS If you are a dude and want it to fit in your back pocket or wallet instead of walking around like a tourist with it stuck in the inside of your jacket - take this one - the other one will be too big.

A great map-- small and sturdy. Ideal for carrying around in your pocket or backpack as you explore Washington, DC. It will stand up to months, if not years, of use. Especially good for walkers.

Probably less good for drivers, who will find it too small to read easily while driving around and dodging other cars, tourist buses, bigwig motorcades, and distracted pedestrians.

For cyclists, this is a decent, but limited, choice. It doesn't cover much of the city beyond the mall, and it does not include bike route information or bike paths, which are essential for getting around the greater DC area. For pedaling around the downtown area, however, it is great.

This folded easily into my pocket for a quick reference of the major museums, memorials, etc. This map does not provide details on outlying areas you may want to see. See the other guide map I reviewed.

This little folding map came in extremely handy for my wife & me on our recent trip to DC. It folds and fits neatly in your pocket, give a quick block by block overview of the downtown area, and a quick reference for the metro system on the back. During our stay, we walked around and/or used the Metro almost exclusively, and referred to this several times a day to get our bearings, plan our next museum stop or restaurant, and work out whether or not a train station was nearby. For less than $4, it was worth every penny.

this little map folds into thirds to readily be at hand or stow easily in your back pocket, but has everything you need to find all the major sights of interests in the historical DC area.

my trip is slowly approaching, but i've had this map out and using it for planning already. the type isn't so tiny that you can't read it - as i found out when the lights in the restaurant went low while i was reading it! i just think it's amazing the amount of information that is packed on this little map.

so glad i got it!!

I purchased this map a month before my trip. It came in handy planning where we were going to go. It is a must have. Our trip flowed because of the planning from the map. We used the metro a lot. It's the only way to travel in DC.

This was so much better than a paper map! It fit right into my pocket and did I ever use the map. Metro on one side, city on the other. Would highly recommend.

This is to carry with you after you've planned your path/itinerary on a larger map, because it is difficult to read the info and doesn't have details re parking and connecting small streets. Well worth having if you're touring on your own. Price is right,

This a great map for getting around DC. Colorful, detailed, not to big, not to small, Metro locations, tourist attractions. This is all you really need to get around DC.

I bought 3 maps to use during my 1 week stay in DC and this little map was by far the one I used the most. Yes it is "limited" on one side to just the mall and the area immediately around the mall, but that's OK because there's tons of museums, monuments etc. to see in that area. The side of the map that has the Metro is awesome. The fact that it's waterproof and folds into close to credit card size makes it perfect for grasping by sweaty tourists like me who want to make sure they're getting on the right train going in the right direction.
