Lonely Planet Portugal Planning Map

As the name implies, this has been a great map for planning our upcoming 3 week trip to Portugal. I've used it a lot over the last couple weeks, using highlighters to mark towns, etc.

I like the size and layout of the map. Perfect tool to use for planning our next vacation to Portugal!

It looked perfect in the description though it only showed the case it sits in. A study (but unnecessary) case holds a bunch of useless stickers. The map surprised me with how small it was. My reading glasses weren't adequate, I needed additional magnification to read the tiny details. My fault for not checking the scale and dimensions. Odd there are no enlarged maps of metro areas. Lonely Planet used to be my go to, but recent products have not been up to snuff. Will try to find another. BTW - I doubted the "waterproof" claim but tried it - it is indeed water resistant. A fine feature but doesn't help readability. The back side could have had metro enlargements or split the map in half at twice the scale. Instead, generic photos of tourist attractions. I can't claim it isn't what was described, but it didn't meet my expectations or needs.

A lot of info. Gave a good overall description and maps of place.

Holds up to plenty of use. Live it almost as much as Portugal.

This is a shockingly useless map. Obviously it's useless as a road map, I wasn't expecting that. I thought it might have some topography, some general regions, some tourist sights, a bit of get to know the country. Absolutely none of that. If you don't know where Lisbon is maybe this map will help you. It's almost willfully bad, like they erased any possible useful info. It's so bad that I will never buy another map from Lonely Planet again.

i did not care for the paper it was printed on. The paper is flimsy, it almost feels like tissue paper, just a little heavier. The print is difficult to read without a magnifying glass. I ordered a Michelin map which I like much better. It, also, has Spain included which I didn't really need. The paper is much sturdier and the print is bolder and larger making it much easier to read especially if you are referring to it while driving in Portugal.

Doesn’t even show the airport! The other side should show Lisbon, the Algaurve, Porto up close. Crappy map. Very limited.
