Let Streetwise Maps be Your Guide

These durable, laminated, fold-out pocket maps have been completely indispensable to me in my travels. They’re brilliantly designed, easy to read, extremely accurate, and available for so many cities and regions across the USA and throughout the world that it would be impossible to list them all here.

In addition to the city and regional maps, which are indexed to special sites, restaurants, shops, hotels, transportation, parks, and more, there are also specialized metro and museum maps of major cities. Carrying a Streetwise Map is almost like having a reliable, compact guidebook in your possession at all times.

I have at least six of them and use the one for New York City, even though I live there, whenever I’m looking for a particular destination in an unfamiliar part of town. You can buy them online, but they’re also widely available at hotels, newsstands, and other outlets.
