Lonely Planet Florence: City Map (Lonely Planet City Maps)

Summary: Compact and Useful
Review: Lonely Planet's maps are plasticized for durability and attractiveness, and they are compact for ease of use, but sometimes lacking in detail. Florence is small enough, however, for this map to cover it rather thoroughly. It has an extensive listing of streets and sights, a suggested walking tour, and two detailed maps, one of Central Florence and an even closer-up diagram of the cathedral and Baptistry. There are also two zoomed-out maps of greater Florence and surroundings, all on a sheet folded to the size of a #10 envelope, making up 12 panels counting the front and back. Although I can visualize a larger map that could provide more help with some of the tinier, tucked-away streets so common in Europe, this map should be quite adequate for most travellers to Florence.
