“Bright with mosaics of paintings,drawings, graphics, photographs, city plans — the fabric of ‘place’…brilliant” — New York Magazine

Standing at the gateway of the Mediterranean, Morocco can easily lay claim to being one of the most beautiful places in the world. Greatly influenced by the Porteguese, French and Spanish, all the while maintaining its own indelible mystique, Morocco is a country of walled cities, snowcapped mountains, royal palaces, spicy cuisine and chaotic, labyrinthine souks. It is romantic, exotic and at once sophisticated and primitive.

Begin your travels across the country — filled with untold treasures and possibilities as magical as its night-blooming jasmine — with a journey to the Portuguese citadel of El Jadida and then move on to the stunning cities of Fez, Tangier and Marrakesh. Become knowledgeable in the local culinary specialties such as ras el hanout or “head of the house”, a blend of cloves, roses and cinnamon mixed by well-practiced grocers.

Filled with information on Morocco’s rich artistic heritage from the many foreign artists who were inspired by its landscape and people (Henri Matisse, Eugene Delacroix and Paul Bowles among them) to the indigenous production of rugs, jewelry and zellige (elaborate tile patterns) that has gone on for centuries.

Berlin has become one of the most transformed, rehabilitated and dynamic cities of the modern era.

Remnants of the old Berlin persist of course, and these sites are indicated on the STREETWISE map of Berlin. Parts of the Berlin Wall stand as testimony to its dreary past; Museum Island exists with some of the most important museums in Europe. The infamous Brandenburger Tor stands proudly, ironically in front of the US Embassy. Then there’s the bombed out Kaiser Wilhelm Gedachtniskirche. The addition of the new Holocaust Museum has become a reason to visit in itself.

The real Berlin is contemporary and stylish, its aesthetics driven more by artists, architects and chefs than by bureaucrats. If you are into contemporary architecture, walking Berlin will reward you because of the many new buildings and older modernist Bauhaus structures spread throughout the city.

The STREETWISE Berlin Map enables you to experience all the excitement and sizzle Berlin, Germany has to offer. The avant garde capital of Europe these days is right here. Berlin in 09 is what swinging London was in the 60s. You wont be disappointed.

The main map of Berlin covers the central city in detail and is indexed with important sites, hotels, architecture, metro stations and parks. An inset features Berlins metro system and fare structure.

Our pocket size map of Berlin is laminated for durability and accordion folding for effortless use.

“Encyclopedic in their historic, artistic and touristic detail.” — Conde Nast Traveler

Legend has it that as long as the ravens remain safe in the Tower of London, the stately city and the kingdom of England will not fall. Indeed, the country has survived much: the Norman Conquest, the Great Fire of 1666 and two World Wars. Still under the watchful eye of the Beefeaters, the ravens are safe and the stalwart city remains one of the most popular places in the world.

Find the traces of London’s past in the chilling dungeons of the Tower — which held many famous prisoners including Sir Walter Raleigh and two of Henry VIII’s wives — or at the Poet’s Corner in Westminster Alley, a shrine to England’s illustrious writers from Auden to Shakespeare. Explore the city’s modern-day attractions on a journey through the markets on Portobello Road and enjoy a piping steak and kidney pie at the local pub. The Knopf Guide to London will teach you how Georgian townhouses were built and how Christmas pudding is made, as well as how to ride the Tube and take in the “Trooping of the Colour,” when the Queen inspects the royal guards. It will guide you through the city’s great museums including the Tate and National Gallery and take you on leisurely strolls through London’s famous Hyde Park and Queen Mary’s Garden.
