1. Great map! Very detailed and easy to use. Be sure to get the free ones that that the city gives out also. They are in every hotel lobby. Combined with this map you shouldn't get lost.



2. We appreciated the very prompt service and availability of the product plus the ease of ordering.

1 comments about Atlas Maior - Germania, Austria Et Helvetia (Joan Blaeu Atlas Maior 1665).

1. These are wonderful, beautiful maps. It gives me such a pleasure
   seeing all those details... Also interesting is
   to see the attention paid to regions which today are not any more
   so important. On the other hand, the Berlin area is not well covered,
   for instance. The plant of the city of Frankfurt is specially beautiful.
   OBS: these are *not* paperback editions (the amazon entry is wrong).
   I bought them from this site and they are hardcover, top quality
   Taschen edition.

1. I haven't taken it to Germany yet. We go in June but it looks like it has a lot of roads and directions and detailed info. 100% better than Rick Steves map I also ordered.

1 comments about Michelin Austria/Autriche (Michelin Maps).

1. Eh, what can I say...it's a map and it's good. I'm happy with it anyway and it should help prevent me getting lost on my up-coming travels.

1 comments about Pocket Map and Guide Vienna (EYEWITNESS POCKET MAP & GUIDE).

1. I used this guide and map on a recent trip to Vienna. It was a lifesaver for getting around the Inner Stadt but not as useful outside of the central part of the city. The subway/bus/tram information was useful when I needed to get somewhere fast! It is particularly useful because it is easy to hold in your hand while walking and looking for street names. Overall I would not leave home without it.

5 comments about Streetwise Vienna Map - Laminated City Street Map of Vienna, Austria - with integrated metro map featuring lines and stations.

1. This handy-size map of Vienna will be a big help during my visit to ViennaPrinted on sturdy, laminated fold-up paper, the streets are easy to find with the street index chart.
   I'm using it to select my hootel, the restaurents I'd like to visitbefore I leave home. It will be invaluable to me once I
   m in Vienna. Well worth the price.



2. I used this laminated map extensively on my recent trip to Vienna. I was staying in the Inner Stadt which can be very confusing to get around. I managed to get lost on a regular basis and with this map managed to find my way to my hotel and wherever I needed to go in the central part of Vienna. It includes the subway map and subway stops, a very useful feature. It folds up and fits easily in your hand, making it easy to refer to it while walking. I would not go to Vienna without this map!



3. The Streewise series of maps are my favs....so once again I invested my $$ and I am delighted. The maps fold just right, fit into pockets and purses and best of all, don't tear or get rain soaked!!! Heavy enough not to blow away either!!!! It's all good. Can't say enough positive about the vendor. Map arrived very promptly, well packed and in brand new conditon. Look out Vienna!!!!



4. This is a handy map for planning your trip as well as getting around the city. Due to the size and lamination, it is easy to carry with you and use as you tour.



5. Unfortunately, this map was not as helpful as I thought it would be. The map we received direct from the Austrian Airlines travel agent showed everything, not just the super-touristy points. We did not even use this map and I plan to return it - very disappointed.

2 comments about Michelin Germany: Benelux, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic: Tourist and Motoring Atlas (Michelin Tourist and Motoring Atlas : Germany, Austria, Benelux, Switzerland, Czech Republic (Spiral)).

1. The maps are excellent. The only problem I have is that I was only interested in Switzerland. Therefore, I would have prefered being given the choice of only the country of my interest. I like the spiral format which allows it to lie flat and easily open 360 degrees.



2. According to Rick Stevens, tourist atlas needs be 1/300,000 or larger scale in order to be useful as driving guide on the road. This atlas has the right scale. I am glad I brought this atlas with me as a backup to my GPS navigator during my 2-week European driving trip in June 2008.
   I had a GPS Navigator (Tomtom GO 720), which worked perfectly for the majority of the time --- I almost thought the traditional atlas was no longer needed. But in two incidence, this traditional atlas proved its value.
   For the first instance, GPS suggested me to drive from Lauterbrunnen to Lugano in Switzerland via the scenic Sustenstrasse Pass. I followed the GPS for about 2 hours, then found out the Pass was closed midway. I had to back-track and rely on the atlas to reroute.
   For the second instance, I was on the motorway from Salzburg to Muchen. An accident occurred (probably a mile ahead) on the motorway. After all traffic stalled on the motorway for one hour, I decided to leave the motorway. This atlas was indispensible in guiding me step-by-step through the scenic country roads to my destination. The paper and printing of the atlas are in very good quality too. It's a worthwhile investment.

5 comments about Rick Steves' Germany, Austria, and Switzerland Map: Including Berlin, Munich, Salzburg and Vienna City (Rick Steves).

1. Before I moved to Germany from the States I received this book from a friend of my mother's who had spent a few years attending university in Spain and said that Rick Steve's books were what everyone at the university used. Since moving to Germany this book has been great. I carry it around with me whenever we travel because it has so much valuable information.
   
   Some of the other reviews have been extremely negative, but as someone who uses the book on a regular basis and actually lives in the country, I know that this book is great. It is less expensive than others and it gives great suggestions for places to stay. He does spend more time with Berlin and Munich, but considering these are two of the largest cities that have long histories, it only makes sense. The hotel suggestions are great, the last time we were in Berlin we opted to choose our own place that was less expensive. It was neat with all the Bears around (it was called the Bearliner), but it smelled. So, if you plan on travelling to Germany I really suggest getting this book.



2. This was the very first travel book - my mother in law bought it for me right after we were stationed in Germany 6 years ago. I'm still using the 2001 version (yes, I know that's bad!) but it's gotten me all over! The simplified maps and the hotel recommendations have kept my trips easy and fun.

3. First and foremost, to clarify, this product that you are supposedly reading reviews for is Rick Steves' MAP of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It appears that the other reviews are of Rick Steves' guidebooks! Again, this product is NOT one of Rick Steves' famous guidebooks (which I would always rate as 5 stars, incidentally!). This map is very basic; don't count on using it to find your way around a country or city. Only the major cities and towns are marked. Likewise, in the city maps of Berlin, Munich, Salzburg and Vienna, only the major thoroughfares are mapped. You should use this map only as a reference to his guidebook of the region to plan your trip. You will want to get a 'real' map that's much more detailed, e.g. Michelin, when you arrive. Best part of this map? The cool water resistant paper on which it is printed. Especially if you have small children who are apt to spill liquid, as mine did on Day One upon receiving it from Amazon!



4. I got this thinking it would get me started on planning my trip to Europe. I had a list of things I wanted to see. When I got the map I was so happy to see that all the tourist attractions were ALREADY MARKED on the map! They were clearly labeled and easy to locate and read. Great product...well worth the money!



5. This is a great high-level roadmap of Germany, but it lacks the detail needed to really explore the countryside. If you are driving through Germany like we did, buy an atlas that provides more route detail. There are so many country lanes in Germany that even a detail book sometimes misses the many villages you'll encounter along the way. If you're taking the train, this map works fine. If you're driving, look at something else.

5 comments about Streetwise Venice Map - Laminated Center City Street Map of Venice, Italy - Folding pocket size travel map (Streetwise).

1. This is a Venice street map, laminated, folding into standard envelope size item. You can get essentially the same thing, only without lamination, from a tourist bureau while in Venice for free. A good product, but not an essential one to buy ahead of your trip to Venice - get it there.



2. This is a somewhat pricey item considering it's only a map, but a laminated map is a valuable resource when your lost in that splendid maze of Venice. It's a good size and very easy to use.



3. On a recent visit to Venice I used the Streetwise Venice map. Though I found the plastic coating beneficial during a rain shower, the map was of limited value. Because of its size, street names were often illegible. The northern part of the city was cut off from the map and therefore gave me no help in exploring that part of the city where so many of the locals live. Far better to pick up one of the free maps given out by the tourist office, or available in almost all of the hotels.



4. My husband and I found this map to be extremely helpful, in large part because of the clear identification of the monuments. It's worth the money to have it for the first day or two until you get your bearings.



5. It's a pathetic small map of Venice.
   Only room for main island, even that much to small.
   No information at all.
   If you want good map of Venice, buy the Borch.
