Phrase in a sentence

Could you please polish this sentence:



"I have no problem walking 5 or 6km, but I soon realized that Paris WAS A CROSSROADS OF ROADS, and as tourist, I couldn't get to the hotel where I was staying on my own."



Note: I'm particularly interested in the phrase in capital letters. Does it sound good to say 'a crossroad of roads'?

Christine Christie Does it sound good to say 'a crossroad of roads'? Not really. 'a network of roads/streets' is the expected phrase.
