Michelin Map Italy: Toscana 358 (Maps/Local (Michelin)) (Italian Edition)

Really? Nice ad drunk to have on our trip through Italy. As Google Maps is not exactly perfect, in this combination. Made everything much more comfortable.

If you are driving in Tuscany, you need this map.

I think the Michelin maps have overall the best detail for driving in Europe. They list lots of routes by number, and they include many small villages and towns that help in navigating back roads. If I could change one thing about this map it would be to use black lettering for all city/town names, to make them easier to read on the road especially in poor lighting conditions. Michelin apparently doesn't sell larger scale maps for Tuscany, but if this becomes a problem many of the local tourist information offices have good road maps of nearby regions. An advantage of the Michelin maps is that they are coordinated with the Michelin Red Guides and Green Guides, for those of us who still like to have books rather than rely on the Internet and smart phones for all travel planning.

If you have a car and are driving through Tuscany GET THIS MAP! The other maps cannot touch it. It has all the towns and roads. I had 3 maps of the area and we eventually ended up with the other two on the floor, and then later on, in the back seat. I didn't want to buy this one because I thought it would be a mess of folded papers and ripped edge like the maps of old - not so! It folded easily and neatly every time and I could bend it over on itself to focus just on the area we were traveling in. It is a huge map if it is all opened up. GPS and googlemaps worked great for us while we were there but you need a map to figure out where you are and this is really the one. Don't be afraid to trust the map and enjoy the back roads, it is the best part of Tuscany!

If you are going to Tuscany and renting a car—-BUY THIS MAP! I am a geographer and the scale of this map is perfect for planning routes and trips throughout Tuscany. Yes, you will your phone GPS (I recommend Waze for Italy), but it doesn’t give you the big picture. You need to see where you are heading and distances between places. I used this map to follow recommended routes from several guide books. I didn’t know there was a back road into Volpaia until I looked at this map. The map is LARGE.....but you can easily fold it over to show the area you are traveling through. Again, the scale is perfect for planning daily trips throughout the countryside.

This truly is a map of Tuscany. I strayed a few miles outside the line to go to Cinque Terre and it was useless. I typically always like to have a map in addition to a GPS, but Tuscany is perhaps the one place I've been recently where the map was not worth the price of purchase. It does not have sufficiently detailed cut-outs of Florence, etc. and I wound up having to buy additional maps to walk through the cities I visited. Don't get me wrong - nothing was incorrect on the map; just was not very useful.

It is EXACTLY what I wanted for looking at Tuscany for our 5 days of driving around.It is large scale (a friend that's going with asked me to point out the Airbnb we're staying in :-)It shows some of Umbria, so we've got Orvieto on the map - where we're returning the car -> some maps for sale show "city look-up tables" or legends covering such sections of map.We know where we're going for most of our days and we will probably just follow our smart phone GPS directions but the scenic route indications on this map are fantastic and I'd like to follow them when we have the time.

First off, this map is huge. I spread it out over my entire kitchen table and it still hangs over the edges. This meant lots of detail - I ended up placing sticky notes over places I want to visit, as it was my only way to put some semblance of order to my upcoming trip to Tuscany. This probably sounds like a negative, but I love the amount of detail and it has made planning a breeze. I'm planning to bring GPS when actually driving around, as I'm not sure how I would unfold this and put it to any real use from a passenger's seat, but it will definitely be along for the ride in case of an emergency. Can not recommend enough!

Uso sempre queste carte per programmare gli itinerari in vecchio stile. Mi trovo molto bene.

👍

Facilité les déplacements, même avec un GPS! Les deux font la paire et rendent les choses plus faciles.

El plano es muy bueno y detallado. Demasiado para un turista. Yo prefiero algo más sencillo y manejable

cartina Michelin poco da dire.... una garanzia dettagliatissima e per noi amanti del viaggio vecchio stile senza navigatori è il massimo io ho tutte le regioni italiane me le porto in moto sono fantastiche
