I have used this map for two trips to Rome, lent it to friends for their own trip, and am using it for my third trip in October. I keep it at hand as I do my planning, and carry it with me for reference as I travel about the city.The map is detailed with all the major and minor sights, streets and roads, remains of the Aurelian Walls, and Metro stops. Major sights such as St. Peter's Basilica, the Colosseum, and the Pantheon are represented by oversized realistic line drawings that make them even easier to pick out. Locations of important non-touristic places such as post offices, hospitals, and police stations are also indicated on this map.Unlike another reviewer below, my version of the map - copyright 2013 - has all of Rome on one side, and indexes, a close-up of Vatican City, general information, and schemata of the Metro system and Fiumicino Airport on the other side.The map is printed on a plastic-type material (perhaps it is plastic-laminated paper) that is difficult to tear and has contributed to its longevity despite my extensive use. Rain does not faze this map one bit. I have annotations for my favorite sights and restaurants written right on it, although ink takes time to dry on the plastic surface.The scale is sufficient so that streets and points of interest are clearly marked and easy to identify; however, the large scale also means the map does not extend nearly as far as I would like, extending West only as far as the Western edge of Vatican City, and the southern edge cuts off half the Baths of Caracalla. Also, the depictions of the Pantheon and Vittoriano show both buildings facing South (probably to ease recognition) when in fact they are both oriented North.However, these are minor quibbles. This is a great map with more than enough detail for the average tourist. I highly recommend this map!
This was our everyday map for our recent 12 days in Rome. We had several maps with us, but this was the best compromise. It had enough detail so we could actually find things, and was large enough so we could read it while walking around the city. It's well worth the modest expense. We used it in conjunction with various guidebooks, including the National Geographic "Walking Rome".
laminated, folds up so it is easy to carry along and not to large when open, print is large enough to read
This map is not quite right, and not easy to use. The print is larger than some others, but still difficult to read. Also, part of the city is on one page and the rest on another. Wouldn't buy this one again. Had to borrow another one from a friend.
Bought for my trip to Rome. Was incredibly useful, could even use it out in the rain, was able to fold it different ways depending on what part of town I was in. Really liked the information that came in the little pamphlet and the map itself has large font, image for the biggest tourist spots and is very legible, would definitely recommend!
I must have read what I wanted to read in the description. This is a great map for the historic center of Rome, but I want to go to Testaccio and this map barely gets there. Streets aren't named and the Piramide Metro stop isn't on the map. I wanted more of Rome. I am using "Walking Rome" and this map was said to go with it, but it doesn't quite do that.
The map is ok, but everything is labeled incorrectly. Also, it cuts a big chunk off of room so I didn't get the full map when I got there.Didn't really use the map when I realized how useless it is. I ended up using Google Maps, and used the offline map content available. Since we had no service Google Maps was able to use offline capabilities. It got us everywhere, and everywhere safely at that.
This is a very good map of Rome, and it has the various areas of the city mapped also. I found it useful.
