Lonely Planet Barcelona City Map 1 Paperback – Folded Map, September 20, 2016

Very handy size

This map worked very well to help my fiance and I navigate the streets of Barcelona. It did not have ALL small side streets listed, so I have only given it 4 stars.

When ordering this map, I liked three things especially: 1.) It's about Barcelona, 2.) It's got a public transportation map! 3.) "Waterproof"Let's see how it measured up.1.) Barcelona...2 1/2 stars out of 5.It's a map that focuses on a portion of Barcelona. (What's thought of by some, to be the only area where "tourists" will go.) It doesn't actually cover all of Barcelona..Just some of the "touristy" area. (La Rambla, Gaudí, etc) Don't expect to be able to go all over Barcelona with this map.2.) It's got a public transportation mapYes it does ..Glad about that, but slightly limited, due to point #1.3.) Waterproof...Ugh... That'd be a NO!I haven't actually used it in the rain or put water on it because just looking at it and feeling the composition of it, leads me to see it's NOT WATERPROOF!!Which all of these things amaze me; because Lonely Planet is usually geared towards the traveler who'll do some touristy things, but also goes off the beaten path.. Including getting caught in the rain. This map was not what I was expecting from Lonely Planet.The only reason I didn't send it back yet, was because of the publi transportation map. It does have an area about Madrid, which I personally would have preferred it to NOT have, any time something (in this case a map) tries to be multipurpose..It usually fails in one area or more. They could've used that space more widely. I would have gotten a separate map for Madrid, if I wanted/needed one.Bottom line: I don't think I'd buy this map had I'd known all of these points!!Searching for a good map. National Geographic has some good maps that are actually waterproof and tear resistant..But haven't found a Barcelona one yet!

I thought it was a foldable plastic covered map. In very good quality. I received a platic box, with a cheap map inside. I should have bought one in Europe. Just my point of view.

It is cheap but partially good. This map is covering just small part of the best known Barcelona. I you need to move out of the more touristic zone you are lost!!!

Pretty good map.

Folder was laminated. Map was not. All info on one map - expected several (streets, metros, attractions, etc.Everything was on one map - so small, hard to read. Thought I was getting something good from Lonely Planet - it’s not.

easy to use
