Lisbon & Portugal - ITMB Publishing Ltd.

The city of Lisbon is one of the most attractive in Europe. It is an ancient city, but most of its architecture dates from the Victorian era. It has a fascinating number of tram lines, and the trams tend to be an experience worth the trip. One graces our cover. There is no cheaper way to explore this city than to climb aboard and let the rails decide your destination! Coverage extends from the northern and western motorways to the southerly Rio Tejo and the national museum, so shows the city quite comprehensively. Almost half of the map area is of the massive Monsanto Park, one of the largest urban parks in the world. The reverse side is equally important, in that it presents our first-ever map dedicated to showing the charms of the entire country of Portugal. A bit of western Spain is included due to the unevenness of the border, but the map goes from the northernmost tipoff Castelo to the southernmost expanse of the Costa Do Algarve, showing touristic attractions, historic sites, beaches, museums, rail connections, and major parks. The map is printed on waterproof stone paper, a recent technological innovation that is gradually replacing plastic.
