.Florence Map. Here's the cover and some sample cartography from the Florence map by National Geographic. We think this is the best available and what we carry when we go. . Share a story of something interesting in this Florence.  This sturdy map comes laminated or may be upgraded to the plastic/tearproof substrate.  This National Geographic Florence map is what we used on our last trip. We really liked the way all the sites were clearly marked. BTW, suggest you stay in a B&B on the outskirts of Florence and take a bus into the center-city. Use this map on foot. Florence drivers are pretty agressive.
