Once you have the Streetwise and a metro ticket – you own Rome.,
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.

|The only map you need,
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.

|Streetwise -The handiest maps ever.,
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.
