The Rome Streetwise is great! It is light enough to easily carry around - big enough to read even with bifocals - and has ALL the streets on it, even the little narrow ones. It also has the metro stations clearly identified. So, with this in one hand and your metro ticket in the other - you can go anywhere you need to go in Rome to see ALL the major sites and most of the smaller ones too. You don't need a car or taxi in Rome - just your streetwise and a metro ticket. In fact, by looking at the Streetwise, we could see that many attractions were grouped close enough to each other that we could use the map to just walk from one to the other. (Ex: Spanish steps to Pantheon) I wouldn't go there without one of these.
Just returned from eight days of walking in Rome. This is the only map we needed to find our way to everything that was of interest to us. It seems that just about every street and alleyway is listed and shown to scale (which is not the case with the free "tourist" maps). Experienced the joy of just wandering around following our noses to one interesting area after another, always knowing that our trusty "Streetwise Rome" would come to the rescue when we wanted to reach a particular destination. We ventured to the Borghese Gallery, the Vatican, to Trastevere, Palatine Hill, the Colosseum, Piazza del Popolo, Spanish Steps, Via Veneto, the Baths of Diocletian and from and back to the Termini Train Station. Including having the map out in the rain on several occassions, it still looks like new. The best thing is, it is only 4" X 8.5" when folded in your pocket and so easy to flip open to use (unlike so many other maps that you must unfold in several directions).The map also has sketches of many of the sights you will be looking for to help you quickly find them. While we only used the Metro once, all the stations are clearly marked. If you want to spend less time folding and unfolding the map and more time enjoying the sights, you may find this product very much to your liking.
I have field tested my copy.... Getting late in the evening, raining, wind picking up, tourists are cursing their free maps fom the hotel lobby. I also have become lost and disoriented. I quickly flip out my Streetwise map and orient myself in the right direction of my hotel in an instant.Next morning, fair weather, I check my streetwise map again to plot my days perigranatsione....I never got lost once, and found things that I did not expect to see, thanks to the lovely 3D icons on my map.Before you say that what I am saying is all blather, lemme say this. This was my third visit to Rome in bad weather and in good. This was my best visit ever. The same also when I visited Naples using a streetwise map.Phil.
This map is handy in that it can be slipped into a purse, is laminated, so it won't crease in the wrong places, but the print is very small. For less traveled streets a magnifying glass is a help.
Useful for swatting mosquitoes, but pretty much worthless in the places I bought them for. (Venice, Florence, Rome) Just too small to include the detail necessary in old cities with lots of tiny, twisty lanes and few gridded streets. My Italian friends kept saying in frustration, ‘It’s not on this map,’ when asked to mark a favorite sight or restaurant.We ended up tossing these and getting the standard tourist info maps (which were MUCH better and free) and using our phones.
I bought this map this month for my trip to Rome. Sorry to say that this map was completely useless. Where you need this most - in the classical quarters of Rome, where the alleys are really narrow - you need a magnifying glass to read the map because the print is really tiny. The much bigger map of Rome provided free by the hotel where I stayed was most useful.
Bought this map for a recent trip to Italy- also bought the map for Florence. It rained our first day in Rome so I was instantly pleased with myself for being so smart and buying a laminated map. Regrettably, the lamination did not hold up even in a light drizzle, and on day 1 of the trip, I had a map already falling apart.Secondly, the map splits ancient Rome to the South from the main central region. You have to continually flip the map over which is frustrating. Also, the map is just plain wrong in a few areas- showing "green parks" where there are none, and not showing some of the smaller roads and alleyways. Of course, your free tourist maps aren't much better in this regard, and the only reason this ranks a second star is because it was handy as a supplement (for compare and contrast purposes) to the free map from my hotel. Between the two, I could get anywhere.Finally, the map is large enough that you cannot stuff it in a pocket and have it be invisible. You will have to carry it either in a purse or day-pack, or be OK with it sticking out of your pocket. Because I prefer to not look too touristy (not be a target), I personally prefer to not carry a day-pack, and like quick access from a pocket. For that reason this map annoyed me because everyone could see a map sticking out of my pocket, immediately identifying me as a tourist.If these things are things that seem important to you, you may want to just grab a new free map from your hotel front desk each morning. Ask the person at the desk to circle your points of interest for the day and you'll save yourself some time, money, and frustration.
