Maui Revealed
Excellent books, both Maui Revealed and Hawaii Revealed. too bad they were damaged in shipping….

Map of the Big Island of Hawaii
This is THE map you want to have when visiting OR living on the Big Island as we do. It is clear to read, everything well marked, and my son-in-law even laminated his, so he carries it in the trunk of his car, so he won’t miss anything here on The Big Island!!

Our first trip to the big Island of Hawaii and this map came in handy when we were plotting where to go and what was nearby and reference points. It’s a good buy.

Customer Reviews & Opinions

Told by a resident to get this map, excellent purchase.
There are plenty of maps out there, this is the one my friend told me to get, he lives on Maui. My other friend and I planned to go biking on the Hana Highway, this map has lots of ideas for side trips, and close-up views of popular areas. Much more detail than the freebies at the tourist stops, up-to-date, colorful, easy to read, especially the topographical reference.

Lisbon, benefiting from an influx of funding from the EU, has reemerged on the world stage as a destination for those seeking the cultural experience of Southern Europe. While it still has a patina of wear and retains an air of shabby chic, renovation and new development are mixing the past with the present to create an alluring juxtaposition of hip boutique hotels in old medieval quarters.

The magnificent Praça do Commercial by the river Tejo is the center of the city and reflects the atmosphere of this historic maritime center. Heading east, you’ll walk through the Alfama with its Moorish past, and up the rising hillside to the dominating presence of the castle of St. George. The pastel houses of the Bairro Alto line up like sunwashed Easter eggs. Theres a terrific panoramic view from the park on Rua de San Pedro that shouldnt be missed. Additional must see visits are to the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, with one of the best art collections in Europe, and to Bélem to see the Cultural Centre, and the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, the monastery commemorating Portugal’s seagoing superiority.

Take the metro D line or a taxi up to the Parque das Naçoes, home of Expo ’98 and now a splendid outdoor vista with shops, restaurants and one of the most stunning Aquariums on earth, the Oceanarium.

The STREETWISE® Lisbon map, including the Lisbon Area map, pulls all of these sites plus hotels, and metro stations together to help you navigate and enjoy your visit to Lisbon. The Lisbon Region map will guide you on day trips west of the city along the beautiful Costa Estoril to Cascais, Estoril and Sintra.

Best City travel maps
There are no better travel maps to the great world cities than these laminated City Maps. Last forever, fit in the coat pocket and easy to read. Worth every penny.

Streetwise Lisbon
Excellent map, provided one does not travel too far from the center of town. The clarity is very high. I visited friends in Lisbon who said that there was no possibility that I would find their tiny traverso, yet it was clearly shown on the map. It would have been nice to stretch the map as far as the airport, but to do so would either sacrifice scale where it was needed, or make the map larger than the perfect size in which it is produced.

Streetwise Venice Map - Laminated City Center Street Map of Venice, Italy - Folding pocket size travel map

This map covers the following areas:
Main Venice, Italy Map 1:8,400
Murano Island Map 1:22,000

Venice: Prince of the Adriatic, Queen of romantics, King of canals and palaces. Venice is pure Italian opera.

Like the famous Fenice Theatre, twice resurrected after devastating fires, Venice continues to flirt with disaster. The Venetian Lagoon which swells and floods Venice each year during the acque alta threatens to do so permanently unless a solution is found. But Venice continues to hold her head above water like a bejeweled diva swooning in the sea. Masked revelers during carnival seem like theatrical extras to a city that is always center stage. For the first time visitor, the pageantry of Venice is intoxicating. For the return visitor, it is addicting.

For hundreds of years, under the command of Doges, Venice was one of the most enduring sea powers on earth. Today, Venice is the most enduring tourist venue on earth. If you get caught up in the seemingly unending flow of visitors streaming along the main calles between the Rialto Bridge and St Mark’s square do not despair. STREETWISE® Map of Venice Italy will rescue you from your confusion and transport you to marvelous undiscovered parts of the six sestieri spread across the city’s islands. STREETWISE® in hand, you’ll feel more native than interloper.

Famous for its Venetian art, baroque palaces, mercantile history, and regional cuisine, Venice is a city that must be experienced on foot. Gradually, in dozens of churches, museums, and palaces, the extraordinary richness of Venice is revealed. So much to see, it will strain your neck and feet by the end of the day! You will still be able to count on your STREETWISE® Venice Map to get you back to your hotel or Palazzo.

The island of Murano has been a center of glass making since the late 13th century when it was ruled that glassmaking be moved from Venice out to the island to protect the city from fire. Glass makers were famous for being the first to craft mirrors and were also know for the curlicue ornate chandeliers they produced. Glass making continues today and tours of the factories and their ubiquitous gift shops are widely available. The inset map of Murano will help you escape the tour and find a lovely spot for lunch.

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?

Customer Reviews & Opinions

Great map for a perfect city
I had the misfortune to lose my Paris Streetwise map. Ugh. Luckily I have two day from shipping Amazon. When ordering I read some of the reviews. Please. No the map does not cover the whole city. However what’s missing is not where you want to go. It’s like getting a New York City map that doesn’t cover the Bronx. That is good cause no one from Manhattan would ever want or dare go to the Bronx. All maps are some sort of compromise. But…What makes Streetwise more than `good enough’ is that it covers what you want and need. The junk is left out. Thank you Streetwise. Thank you.

Streetwise Paris Map
This map was extremely useful on a recent trip to Paris. The print is a good size and the lamination is great - especially in inclement weather.

I would have appreciated a better map of the metro.

All in all, a worthwhile purchase.
