If you are planning to do a lot of sightseeing, or if you are going on a multi-city trip, it's a good idea to print out maps from the Internet before you go.
On Google maps, you can zoom in and out to show just the right amount of information that you need. Make sure you have maps that show you where your hotel is located, as well as any other attractions or landmarks that you want to see.
This is especially handy if you plan to visit a lot of cities (or even countries!) and you don't have room for the bulky, folded maps of each destination.
