EAN/UPC/ISBN Code 9788896620274


Imported from Italy, this handy folder featuring the Colosseum on its cover has all that you will need to enjoy one day or many in the Eternal City. The front cover folds out to reveal a metro / rail plan of the city. Unfold the cover further to find a detailed schematic of Metro Lines A and B with all their stops. The next interior panel provides an unusual and very useful locator map of the electronically controlled access points to Rome"s limited traffic zones, indispensable if you plan to rent a car. The full-color folded map can be detached from the folder and shows a generous swath of Rome: from the Foro Italico to the north to the Basilica de San Paolo to the south, and from the Vatican on the east to the Cimitero del Verano to the west. Most places of interest are marked directly on the map, but there is also an extensive street index to pinpoint your destination on the map grid. On the back of the map you"ll find brief descriptions in English of Rome"s Top 12 sights, and bus line information for getting to each one. The back cover of the folder shows the Appian Way, with thumbnail photos locating at least 17 places of interest on the route. The folder itself is made of sturdy card stock and measures approximately 4.5 x 7.5 inches, small enough to stow in a backpack or hip purse. Possibly the best bargain in maps of Rome available in the U.S., this map-guide boasts the most authoritative travel information available -- the local kind -- now available in the U.S. for under $6.
