Europe may be small in comparison to Canada, but it is densely populated and difficult to map as a continent while providing detail. Eastern Europe used to be defined as everything behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War, but now it encompasses everything east of Germany and Switzerland, which means that this map covers Italy, Greece and the Balkan countries, the Central European countries of Romania and Hungary and most of Ukraine, Poland and the three Baltic states, and western Russia as far east as Volgograd, as well as much of Turkey. It is a combined road and rail map, showing motorways and major highways, fast-train routes in red and regular services in black. It also shows major cruise line routes, although many have been suspended due to Covid and political situations in Russia and Turkey.

Essentially, this is a map covering a very large area, as are our maps of Western and Central Europe, and our earlier map of Scandinavia. We have tried to make it politically correct, which is difficult considering the Russian occupation of Crimea and the Donetsk region of Ukraine and the on-going controversy over the ‘proper’ name for Macedonia, so we apologize for any errors. For simplicity’s sake, we have named most place names in English, so Roma is Rome and Moscva is Moscow etc. Fortunately, most English place names are the same in the local languages. However, being ITMB, Naples is Napoli, and Florence is Firenze, so don’t be too critical of us; we’re trying to reconcile differing perspectives.

The Polish city of Krakow is medieval in its city centre, with its walled fortress, the Wawel (a world heritage site) and its old town, which is now largely a pedestrian precinct. The Rynek Glowny, or central square, is the largest in Europe and features the 16th century Cloth Hall and the 14th century cathedral. Nearby is the Wieliczke Salt Mine, another World heritage site, and a wonder to explore. Also nearby is Tyniec Abbey, dating back to the 11th century. 

The reverse side covers southern Poland, from Warsaw in the north to the Carpathian Mountains. Poland is one of Europes hidden treasures, with small villages and ancient towns, such as Zamosc (another world heritage site), national parks, chalk tunnels (in Chelm) a martyrs clock (in Lublin), and a bishops palace (in Kielce). Put them all together, and a marvellous travel experience unfolds!

Europe is fairly big, and densely populated. A map of all of Europe is useful, but at a scale that limits our ability to show information. As a result, last year we published a map of Western Europe. Now, we are pleased to extend our more detailed coverage of the continent with a map covering the Central European countries of Germany, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and Switzerland, with portions of France, Belarus, Serbia, and Romania. A third map, covering eastern European countries, will be released soon, providing detailed regional coverage of the continent in a way that we hope is pleasing. Germany occupies most of the first side, and Poland the other, with Czech and Slovakia divided between the two sides, and Slovakia/Hungary filling the rest of side 2.

This is a regional map, showing rail lines as well and roads, airports, and major touristic attractions. A listing of the region’s top attractions is included. This map will appeal to those visiting several countries on one trip, by rail or road. Legend Includes: Roads by classification, Rivers and Lakes, National Park, Airports, Points of Interests, Highways, Main Roads, Zoos, Fishing, and much more...

ITM har kart over hele verden og de spesialiserer seg på land litt utenfor allfarvei. Beliggenheten til landets nasjonalparker, historiske monumenter, de viktigste veiene o.L. Finner du inkludert i kartene. Samtlige landkart har ofte et bykart over hovedstaden.

Fra ITM: This is, at the same time, our second edition updated map of Warsaw and a brand new title for ITMB, in that we have added a regional map of the eastern half of Poland to the second side of the map. This gives the end user two maps for the price of one by combining the many attractions of the city with its surrounding countryside. Anyone with a small amount of historical knowledge knows that Warsaw was largely destroyed during World War II. Many historic cities suffered this fate; in the case of Warsaw, the historic old town was re-built more or less as it had been, with some road widenings changing things, and the rest of the city was re-created as a post-war urban area. The old town is actually quite compact, so is shown in detail on an inset map, as is the greater Warsaw urban area The urban map shows rail and metro lines/stations, tram lines, churches, theatres, the enormous Soviet-era cultural centre, hotels etc. The regional map covers a very large portion of eastern Poland, from the eastern borders to Lodz, and includes the roads leading to Krakow and Gdansk; altogether, a perfect map for those using Warsaw as a base and exploring the hinterland on short trips.
