We’ve already touted the quality and practicality of Moleskine journals here on Matador Goods.

The company has recently taken it up a notch with the introduction of its new line of Moleskine City Notebooks.

With a slew of maps at different scales in addition to pages for planning your itinerary, metro route maps, and enough blank pages for journaling, it aims to fulfill a myriad of travel planning needs in a pocket-sized book.

The Moleskine City Notebook includes a key map that provides you with a geographical overview of the city, and approximately 36 pages of detailed zone maps from scales of 1:5,000 to 1:17,000.

It also provides an invaluable alphabetized street name index.

From Kyoto, Japan to Turin, Italy, the City Notebooks span 42 locales covering some midsized cities in addition to the regular international powerhouses such as Paris, Amsterdam, and Berlin.

Price: $12.21 | BUY

    Moleskines are great. I've been using these for quite some time and heartily recommend them.

    While I have used Moleskin’s for a few years, I can’t embrace this city notebook idea. Maybe if they had a country notebook I would be down for it, but the city one seems limiting. Also it’s like saying, ‘If you go to x country, than z city is the only city worth going to.’

    Although it is pretty sweet that they have metro maps on there. That would have helped me out when I decided to take a side trip to Paris last year and ended up ridding the metro for one hour and forty five minutes as a guy from Ghana explained to me everything about how the subway system worked and about all the best ‘lookings’ to go see.

    To add, I always recommend the small soft cover pocket ones. They are pretty valuable when you need to jot down some important info. Of course receipts and gum wrappers work well too.
