 Pretty good map!! September 7, 2008
I am a travel agent who sells luxury travel, mostly for Americans going
to foreign countries. I give the Insight Fleximaps to my clients as gifts before they depart the US. If you have a good, old-fashioned ballpoint pen around, you can circle the hotel location on the map as
"home". My only wish is that the map could be folded a bit smaller or more square. The other nice thing is that some of my clients go to Italy over and over, so they can save this map for future vacations or business trips.
 An Excellent Map to Use While in Rome February 12, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Rome is a very good city to walk around in. Most of the sights are within walking distance of each other and you can't walk more than a few blocks without coming across some ancient ruin or historic church. A map like this is a necessity because, as another reviewer noted, Rome is an easy city to get lost in. The streets often wind and curve, and it is easy to lose your bearings.
The Insight Map of Rome provides a very detailed map of a large area of the city within which you will find virtually all of the city's tourist sites. It also includes a map of the Rome subway system which is very easy to use: It is hard to get confused about it as there are just two subway lines.
I used this map on my recent visit to Rome and found it indispensable.
A necessity for Rome May 15, 2005
21 out of 21 found this review helpful
When visiting Rome you will find that the city is a maze of narrow winding streets surrounded by high buildings. It is impossible to see more than one or two blocks in most places. Furthermore the names of the streets are not on signs but carved into stones on the sides of buildings, and not at regular intervals. Turn one or two corners and you will find yourself completly lost.
Furthermore many of the prime spots are in places that are best accessed on foot. The streets are too narrow for tour busses or cabs. If you plan on seeing Rome you will eventually find youself on foot, and you had better be prepared with a good map.
This map is well laid out with the streets printed in an easily readable fashion, despite the twists and turns of the streets themselves. It also has the major landmarks and the churches that are open to the public in seperate colors so they are easily found.
Finally after a week of carrying the map in my back pocket, and several unexpected rain showers, it was still as good as when I first purchased it, do to the lamination. In all this is a durible, well laid out map that is essential to the Roman visitor. Trust me, every street corner had at least one tourist checking their map to figure where they had been, where they were, and how would they get to their destination.
