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.

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.

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?

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

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.
