Book Review: Another great trip
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've never tried Knopf MapGuides, you are missing out.
I've used them in several countries, from Russia to Italy, and I'm never disapppointed. They mark every single street so you never get lost walking between toursits stops.
They are easy to use, thanks to the sections that fold out - no more struggling with big clumsy maps, or straining to read tiny maps in guide books that only label the big streets. They always include a metro map and show metro stops.
The best part is, they have recommendations on everything for each area in the city: entertainment, arts, food, cafes, hotels, etc. Just leave a museum and want to grab a pastry & latte? No problem, there are 4 good choices within the area listed. Want to know a good spot for food within walking distance of your hotel? There are a dozen spots listed.
In Barcelona, I found two amazing spots to eat that wouldn't have been written up anywhere else (in the second eatery they locals looked stunned when we walked in - obviously not a usual place for tourists). Other guidebooks limit the total number of write ups - with the design of the fold out map, Knopf has space for many more. Haven't eaten at a Knopf recommend place that was subpar yet, and I can't say that for my other guidebooks.
The only draw back is Knopf only covers so many cities, but hopefully they'll continue to expand.
Summary of Knopf MapGuide: Barcelona (Knopf Mapguides)
This opening fold-out contains a general map of Barcelona to help you visualize the 6 large districts discussed in this guide, and 4 pages of valuable information, handy tips and useful addresses.Discover Barcelona through 6 districts and 6 maps
La Barceloneta/ El Born/ La Ciutat Vella
El Raval/ El Barrí Gótic/ La Ribera
Sarriŕ/ Pedralbes/ Sants
L?Eixample/ Graciŕ
Montjuic/ Poble Sec/ Sant Antoni
Port Olímpic/ Poblenou/ La Dreta del Eixample
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 Barcelona 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 Barcelona
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.
