Reader Reviews
After using the excellent Rough Guide map of Barcelona, I purchase Rough Guide maps when ever they are published for my destination. What I love about these maps is that they are complete, accurate and very tough. You can carry them around in your pocket, bend them and sweat on them and they still remain as usable as ever. This map has Florence on one side and Siena on the other (there is a certain historical elegance for this choice). I did not get a chance to test the map in Florence, but I did use it during the five days I spent in Siena in April of 2006. Siena, which competed with Florence for centuries, was finally crushed by Florence and it took centuries for the city to recover. As a result, Siena never developed the way Florence did and much of the character of the old city remains, including the original walls and the twisty streets with four or five story brick buildings. This gives the streets of Siena the feeling of a maze, since you can rarely see landmarks like the Siena Duomo (cathedral). I constantly found myself going the wrong direction. Even though Siena is small, I constantly used the Rough Guide map while I was there.
