Knopf MapGuide: Florence

by Alfred A. Knopf Publishing

This opening fold-out contains a general map of Florence to help you visualize the 6 large districts discussed in this guide, and 4 pages of valuable information, handy tips and useful addresses.

Discover Florence through 6 districts and 6 maps

ACentro Storico
BSanta Maria Novella
CSan Lorenzo
DSanta Croce
ESanto Spirito/ San Frediano
FSan Miniato al Monte

For each district there is a double-page of addresses (restaurants — listed in ascending order of price — cafés, bars, music venues and stores) followed by a fold-out map for the relevant area with the essential places to see (indicated on the map by a star *). These places are by no means all that Florence has to offer but to us they are unmissable. The grid-referencing system ( A B2) makes it easy for you to pinpoint addresses quickly on the map.

Transportation and hotels in Florence
The last fold-out consists of a transportation map and 4 pages of practical information that include a selection of hotels.

A thematic index lists all the sites and addresses featured in this guide.

Quick and to the point. I discovered this series when I went to Paris last year and really liked the convenience of the pull-out maps. I had fun pouring over all our options and used it to plan our Florence itinerary. Beautifully designed and crafted as well.

Beautifully designed and very functional pocket-sized map guide with fold-out details for each location of interest. Highly recommended for every city.
