review of rough guide map of rome
An extremely useful addition to the Rough Guide itself. I've told others after a 10 day trip to Rome that the two most useful additions were the Rough Guide Map and a weekly rover ticket on Rome's public transport - which got us out as far as Ostia. The Map itself succeeds in combining a guide to public transport, the major sites and museums, of which there are many, and the location of recommended restaurants, bars. nightlife etc. And its waterproof too! The only downside was that some info re restaurants and bars was not absolutely up to date, but there was always an alternative.

Essential for any traveller!
We arrived in Rome in a downpour and had to use the map to find our hotel in torrential rain. At the hotel, a quick wipe with a tissue and we were off again around the City. After a week's use the map was as good as the day we bought it. In future trips, I will make sure a Rough Guide map is the first purchase. The plastic coating is a brilliant idea and it folds small enough to fit in a pocket. Essential for the city traveller.

Excellent citymap
A light, strong and wateresistent map, with a clear layout. I prefer key maps to those split-up in pocketbooks, or rather, It's easier to overlook a city when you support the guidebooks with a map of this sort. Indispensable to tourists.
