Good Tourist Map for Discovering Russia's Window to the West.......2005-06-08

As the founder of a company devoted to enriching cultural and business travel to Russia, we are always looking for a good maps for clients. "Lonely Planet City Map St Petersburg" is one of the few maps available in the United States for St. Petersburg. It is a good, general purpose map which covers most of the tourist areas of the city.

Some major boulevards are in Cyrillic, but the map is mostly Russian transliterated into Latin script, which means that you easily can miss a street sign right in front of you (as few signs are in Latin script in St. Petersburg). The map is best used for gauging relative distances, which it does far better than the multipage maps found in guidebooks.

There are better maps available in St. Petersburg (and we give our clients such maps before leaving the U.S.), but nonetheless we recommend "Lonely Planet City Map St Petersburg" as a good general purpose walking map to aid a brief journey of Discovering Russia's window to the West, St. Petersburg.

Laminated pamphlet.......2001-07-13

This map is all right, but it is small. It is not much more than a laminted pamphlet. I have been to St. Petersburg twice without the map. I suppose the map might be nice to carry around, but its small size also limits the amount of information it gives. I guess I was expecting a little more.

I bought this map the day I went to this magnificent russian city at a local bookstore. And this great map gives me a big hand when I travelled this city. It's colorful and well-orgnised so you could find the place where you want to visit easily.The size is small enough for you to bring at hand anywhere in St Petersburg and also big enough to show the most important spot, for example the Nevsky Prospekt,the Hermitage,etc. I recommend this map as the must-have reference sincerely if you want to see the beauty of this Tzar's capital.
