Are the Artwise maps much different than the Streetwise?
Thanks for any advice~

(Oh dear, should it be "different from..."?)

Yes, it should be "different from."

The actual map is no different from the Streetwise map, of course, but the index and markings on the map allow you to "connect all the cultural dots," according to Amazon, by focusing on museums and artwork.

I have both Artwise and Streetwise for London and I much prefer Streetwise. IIRC (not at home to look at them) Artwise shows a smaller area and it takes up a lot of room with descriptions of the venues.

I got one once by mistake or else looked at it in the store (Artwise) and really did not like it. I would not buy one instead of the regular one. I remember I was looking at the Paris one, and I think the problem was that it wasn't as big a map and didn't cover as much of the city. Kind of defeats the purpose of a map since my one quibble about Streetwise Paris is that it doesn't even cover all of the city, I think it cuts off in the south at Montparnasse cemetery or something like that, so the artwise one was even worse.

Just wanted to thank those above for taking time to respond so helpfully.
I'll stick with the trusty Streetwise.
