tourist map

Visitor's city guide

A tourist map is a map designed for visitors to an unfamiliar area, highlighting points of interest, attractions, and amenities rather than precise geography.

Tourist maps typically simplify street layouts and exaggerate the size of landmarks to make navigation easier: We grabbed a tourist map at the hotel lobby.

They often appear as foldouts or illustrated guides.
