Synopsis

This opening fold-out contains a general map of the region to help you visualize the 6 large geographical areas discussed in this guide, and 4 pages of valuable information, handy tips and useful addresses.

Discover the Italian Lakes through 6 areas and 6 maps

Lago d’Orta/ Golfo Borromeo
Lago Maggiore/ Centovalli/ Val Vigezzo
Varesotto/ Lago di Lugano/ Valle d’ Intelvi
Lago di Como
Bergamo/ Lago d’Iseo/ Brescia
Lago di Garda

For each district there is a double-page of addresses (restaurants — listed in ascending order of price — cafés, bars, markets, 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 the region 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 the Italian Lake District
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.

From the Back Cover

The Washington Post says, "The map guide lets you be inconspicuous: it's as small and light as a novella, and its flip-out maps could pass as a flyer to a cool club."

"Make sure you never lose your way in a strange city. Each of the Knopf MapGuides captures its city's pith in a package as small as a passport wallet..." - Real Simple

"Knopf MapGuides are handy, practical and perfect for those of us who are slightly impaired when it comes to map-reading. You don't have to search a huge crackling sheet with a microscopic index for one of 10,000 dots on the map...The extraordinary quality of the books' beautiful hues and heavy paper also give these $8.95 guides an evocative quality that stands apart from the glossy, garish look of most travel books." - Marin Independent Journal

"A good, handy portable item for a quick trip" - San Francisco Chronicle

"We love Knopf's smart new map guides." - Travel & Leisure
