Streetwise Paris Map - Laminated City Center Street Map of Paris, France - Folding pocket size travel map with integrated metro map including lines & stations

This map covers the following areas:
Main Paris Map 1:14,000
Paris Metro Map
Map of France

There are more clichés about Paris than there are tourists at the Louvre, but the fact is that underneath each overused hackneyed cliché is a glistening kernel of truth. The City of Light, the City of Love and the City of Romance, familiar platitudes, but once you experience it for yourself you understand why. There is a je ne sais quoi allure to this city that beguiles, but never completely reveals what makes it so universally appealing. Artists, poets, writers, and composers have tried to define exactly what it is about this place, and yet they succeed only to a point. Perhaps it is as elusive as defining love, for to be in Paris entails experiencing love, about someone, something, some place.

There is so much to do - you know the big ones, the Louvre, Musee d’Orsay, Sacre Coeur, St. Germain des Pres, the Left Bank, the Right Bank, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysées, the Opéra- but don’t miss the fun of discovering the small ones, the ones off the beaten path. Nothing like taking your time strolling thru the turn of the century mansion that houses Musée Marmottan then enjoying a café and patisserie in the museums jewel box café.

Wandering aimlessly is romantic. Getting lost isn’t romantic. In fact there are few things that can drain the romance out of a situation faster than realizing that you’re hopelessly lost. So take your travel map and put it away if you want to wander, but have no fear that your wandering will turn into a lost odyssey. You can always pull out the STREETWISE® Paris Map and get yourself pointed back in the right direction.

Paris is not without faults. Sometimes people can be rude, but that’s the case anywhere in the world - be it a large city or small village. You get what you give. And in the case of Paris, as with any true love, you accept the flaws with the charms, the weaknesses with the strengths. In the end the true beauty of Paris will surpass any blemish. Life from a Parisian perspective is beautiful. But that’s another cliché, isn’t it?

Our pocket size map of Paris is laminated for durability and accordion folding for effortless use. The STREETWISE® Paris map is one of many detailed and easy-to-read city street maps designed and published by STREETWISE®.

Dont Bother

Once you arrive in Paris, there are MANY free maps that are actually easier to use.

Bring a magnifying glass and small flashlight

Nice map but note that it is a really small print and in the evening you need a little flashlight to be able to read the print. If you have sight issues bring a small magnifying glass.

Rating :

If you don't take anything else, take this!

This map was our constant companion while in Paris. Not only did it make it easy to figure out where we were and how to go where we wanted to go, but the highlighted sights suggested other outings which we hadn't even known about before. Works great with cab drivers - point and go!

Rating :

Very useful map to us!

Really liked that the main monuments/attractions where drawn, including the train map. The downside for us that cost the lost of a star was that we stayed at the Marriott on the South side of town and it was not in the map. Other than that, highly recommend this for first time Paris visitors like us. Oh, we had 1 1/2 & 8 y.o. boys with us, and we thought this map made it easy to look up thing quickly.

Great Map

The Map of the city was very easy to follow and was accurate. The METROPOLITAN (subway) map was very valuable. Laminated map easy to write and mark wiht a pen and did not get managed even on a 10 day stay in Paris. :)

would not recommend this map

I have several other maps by this company that I really like. The size is convenient, the plastic coating keeps them from tearing on a windy or wet day. But I threw this Rome map away in frustration and just used the one free from the hotel desk instead! I found it difficult to use; I'd look up at a street sign and then struggle to find that street in the tiny print and abbreviations on the map, and the index grid system was little help.

Rating :

great map

I purchased this map with another one. I can't wait to use it while in Rome. It is not only very detailed, but laminated so you can't destroy it with one use. Also the size is perfect to fit in any large pocket or purse...Great map

Rating :

Awesome Map! Very durable. Great value.

Great map of Rome. Very easy to read with map of metro and a detailed map of downtown. Extremely durable laminated finish. Folds up to fit in a back pants pocket or jacket pocket. Very easy to follow. Great value.

Rating :

Good, but needs better metro/bus map

I just got back from a two-week stay in Rome, and this map was definitely more helpful than the paper one that came with the guidebook I bought. I especially liked the enlarged portion that showed central Rome. The lamination is key. We didn't get caught in any rain, but even with dry weather, my other, paper map was worn to shreds. Also helpful, the fact that some major landmarks were illustrated onto the streets, which helps you to stay oriented. The little metro/tram map was completely useless.

Rating :

Don't visit Rome without it!

Streetwise maps are my favorites for visiting any unfamiliar city, and the Rome edition proved to be no exception. Its laminated, heavy construction guarantees that you can fold, re-fold, and carry it in pockets, purses and bags without having it fall apart on you.

The only thing I wasn't crazy about on the Rome map was the way the Historic District was broken off from the other sections of the city...I sometimes found myself flipping back and forth between that part of the map and the other areas of the city, trying to locate where I was when traveling between them and having some difficulty. But within each district I had no trouble navigating with this map.

Excellent tube map of London!

I took this map of the London tube (subway) system with me to London recently and used it every day to get around to all the attractions. It's sturdy, folds up so you can put it in your pocket, and was indispensable for finding my way around London. Wouldn't go to London without it if you plan to use the tube!

Didn't get wet, fit in pocket, accurate, handy, what more could be wanted. I marked it with a fine point sharpie to find stuff.

A necessary purchase while traveling through London

If you're an American traveling in London, this map is indespencable. If you ask someone in London how to find something, you'll quickly realize that we speak American, not English, and their answer though thoughtfully and politely given, will be a struggle to understand. This map is indestructable and holds up in nasty London weather, has all the stops and routes for the Tube which makes affordable inter city and airport travel easy, and list all the spots you wish to see on you're trip. Good map. I'd buy it again if I didn't already own it.

Rating :

Underground Map

I have very limited time in London on an upcoming trip, so I want to waste as little time as possible traveling between points. I love the size of this Tube map -- don't want to be weighed down with heavy guidebooks either! The size will make it easy to pack -- though it also makes the map a little harder to read, especially with older eyes.

Rating :

Small and Easy to Read!

Best guide for the Tube, though my only complaint is the Bank and Tower Hill stop... It looks like it's connected, but it's a 15 minute walk away.

My friend wants one in every city! Hopefully, there is one!

Streetwise Manhattan Map - Laminated City Street Map of Manhattan, New York - Folding pocket size NYC travel map with integrated subway lines & stations - bus map

This map covers the following areas:
Main Manhattan Map 1:27,000
Manhattan Bus Map

Some people think Manhattan and New York City are synonymous, but technically they are not. Manhattan is one of the five boroughs that make up New York City. The others are Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island. It’s a persnickety detail, but detail is what STREETWISE® is about. For example, the architectural details drawn on the Manhattan New York map are in outline form. A solid drawing would obscure the streets surrounding the location, and therefore hamper the usability of the map. Only in unobstructed locations will you find a solid drawing.

You may not notice this or any of the many other details that combine to make a NY city map that has been called the best selling map on earth*. The STREETWISE® Manhattan Map is detailed from lower tip to upper tip. It is layered with information about sites and mass transit routes. The New York City Subway system is one of the most important and vital rail networks in the world. It is also the fastest and cheapest way to travel north-south in New York. Our Manhattan street map has the best designed diagram of the Subway system ever produced on a street map. An inset of Manhattan bus routes complements the Subway system. You are now prepared to travel the length and breadth of Manhattan. From shopping in SOHO, dining in the Village, working in Midtown, visiting the Met on the Upper East Side or strolling thru Central Park, you’re covered with the STREETWISE® Manhattan Map of NYC. From the Staten Island Ferry up to the rediscovered realm of Harlem, you can navigate like a native New Yorker with this pocket size Manhattan Map.

Good city maps, like the STREETWISE® map of Manhattan, will guide you in the right direction and directly impact your experience of New York. A good Manhattan map will also keep you grounded, relaxed and confident in your decisions about where to go and how to get there. Whether by car, train, bus or on foot you are confident because you carry the most knowledgeable travel companion when you carry our NYC street map, the best laminated Manhattan Map on the market.

Our pocket size map of Manhattan is laminated for durability and accordion folding for effortless use. The STREETWISE® Manhattan map is one of many detailed and easy-to-read city street maps designed and published by STREETWISE®.

Does the job

I really like these maps. I have for LA and Chicago, and even tho' those are several years old, I still use them for getting around basic streets, etc. on current visits. They're good for marking w/grease pencils when you want to know where something is, and how to get there (then wipe clean when done). This Manhattan version joins our collection, and was purchased for a trip, tho' we really didn't use it that much since I was familiar with where we needed to go/be. Most of Manhattan is easy to get around, and a perfect walking city. This map shows subways, but I wouldn't rely on it for that, seems a little confusing. The Metro maps are much better for tube. This is great for streets and neighborhoods.

Great map for navigating Manhattan

I ordered the Streetwise Manhattan Map after my daughter, who lives there and uses public transport, pounced on the first one I bought. (Her pocket map wasn't laminated and it had finally disintegrated.) She loves the new map. To compensate, she gave me the marvelous 'Inside the Apple: A Streetwise History of New York City.'
Inside the Apple: A Streetwise History of New York City
But reading 'Inside the Apple,' I wanted my map back in order to locate all the fascinating spots it mentions within the larger context. I'm enjoying the two hugely together, and will be primed for my next visit, ready to use busses and subways and winkle out all the treasures described 'Inside the Apple.'.

consider your choices...

y'know, it's a nice, laminated map with some other info, too. BUT...consider that your hotel(for FREE), every 24 hour drug store (and there are MANY), and half of the other stores will have an ABUNDANCE of maps, many inexpensive. and any device with internet access will give you precise directions, including SUBWAY and BUS and WALKING. so don't panic, think about it. of course, it's hardly a major purchase.

Rating :

Better maps available.

This map is amazingly unreadable. It's not that it's BAD, it's just that there are MUCH better options available.

I would highly recommend the New Yorker's NYC map series.

Rating :

not bad

The map does give you everything you would need of a map of Manhattan. But I was disappointed that the bus route map is shown as a smaller condensed map, but not the subway system, which I feel is much more useful.
