Streetwise Zurich January 18, 2008

The Streetwise Zurich map folds accordian style, which makes it much easier to pull out and look at with one hand. It's waterproof and creaseproof too. This is my third Streetwise map and I don't think it will be the last one I buy.
 Zurich street map January 10, 2007
Map is very useful for the immediate downtown section of the city. It doesn't show the business areas to the north of the downtown, We found it usewful.

I happen to like city maps, and tend to feel a bit lost if I don't have a city map riding in my backpack. However, having recently returned from Switzerland, I found that all 6 of the Swiss cities I traveled to, had free city maps "stadtplans" both at the hotels I was staying at and more importantly at the tourist information offices. Fortunately most of these tourist information offices are located inside the main train stations, so if you are planning on traveling Switzerland by rail and arriving in towns during normal business hours, you'll be able to get free stadtplans. I ended up folding my free paper maps in my back pocket and wandering around (in fact, in Zurich and Lausanne I ended up wandering off the maps).
That said, the Streetwise map was still instrumental in my pre-trip planning phase. I used the map to locate the potential hotels I was booking for myself on-line. The map did allow me to get a good feel for how close to the train station and main tourist sites the various hotels were, and most importantly, if I couldn't find an address on the map, I chose to not book that hotel. While I could have also used an on-line service to view the maps, I've found that sometimes US based maps make mistakes in smaller European cities.
Zurich is a small enough city, that you honestly will not need a city map. Furthermore, I was also able to get excellent directions from locals in a mixture of English / German. But I'm still happy I have the map, as I now pull out the map laminated map and use it to point out where my Zurich adventures took me to my family and friends. It makes a nice addition to my Lonely Planet Frankfurt and Paris maps. It is small, sturdy, and water proof. For my next vacation, I'll look for more Streetwise city maps.
