best road map for tuscany
 

Can you folks recommend a good road / driving map for Tuscany?

Hi MD - I always get the Italian Touring Club regional maps.

Hope this helps ...

We used the Italian Touring Club Toscana 1:200.000 scale. The Michelin 563 is 1:400.000 and only gives you the big picture. We took both, but would highly recommend just the ITC map. ((b))

Ditto---200K to 1 TCI

Thanks folks. I see two maps by these folks on Tuscany...can you tell me which one you are referring to:

1. https://www.trektools.com/product.ph...t=0&page=1

2. https://www.trektools.com/product.ph...306&page=3

Just noticed you can't click the links b/c the forum software parsed out the https part; please copy and paste the entire link into the addy bar of your browser.

Hi MD - It's the first.

But I wouldn't buy it at $12. Wait till you get there ... Much cheaper.

Where is the best place to buy the map in Italy? Do they sell them at the Tourist Information offices?

For $12 I would recommend getting the maps ahead of time -- gives you some time to plan your trip. ((b))

I'm leaving soon and really don't have time to go buy the map before I leave (or order off the internet without paying extra for overnight shipping). Can I buy it at the train station T.I. when I get there of do I need to hunt down a book store?

Just ordered...thanks folks.

Sorry, the first one is the one you want. The Toscana for $12.50.((b))

Hi Vino - You won't usually find them on sale at a station, I think.

Any good bookshop will sell them, though.

Where will you be? In Rome I buy mine at the bookshop in Via del Babuino.

Thanks Steve. We'll be in Florence the day before we pick up our rental car. I'll look for a bookstore there.
