Using a Map

When browsing a map, consider a few things:

• The location of your accommodation can really make or break your holiday. Is it on a noisy street? Is there a pub next door? Where's the nearest bank machine?

• Is your accommodation near public transportation? You want trams to be close but not too close. Their streets can be a bit noisy.

• Are there restaurants nearby? The Google Map below includes various businesses like restaurants and banks.

• Many hotels say they are in the "center", but what does that mean? Will you be on a busy street? Can you walk to some attractions?
