Austria: Vienna & Eastern Austria
Ordinær pris 179,00 krITMB is pleased to introduce an exciting new map of the wonderful city of Vienna, combined with a newly-prepared map of eastern Austria. Until WW2, Vienna was one of the most diverse and cultural cities in Europe. The NAZI takeover changed all of that and its brutal capture by the Russians five years later sent the city into a devastating downturn. Fortunately, the Soviet Union was forced to withdraw and Austria declared to be a demilitarized neutral country for the rest of the Cold War. Vienna is now a lovely historic city on the Danube River, the capital of Austria, and the European United Nations centre. The Innerstadt (Inner or old city centre) is the location of many of the hotels gracing Vienna, as well as St, Stephen’s Cathedral with its wonderful roof. One of the great attractions of the city is the Schonbrunn, the 18th Century palace of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The map extends from the western ring road to the UN complex east of the Danube, and from the northern edge of the urban area to south of the Hauptbahnhof (or main railway station). All Metro and tram lines are clearly shown, along with parks, churches, shopping areas, hotels, and the city’s three rail stations. The second side of the sheet is a very detailed map of the eastern half of Austria from the /Czech border on the north, the Hungarian border to the east, to the Slovenian border to the south, and west to Linz and Klagenfurt. Rail lines are prominently noted, as are motorways and all highways. Once one leaves Vienna, a vista of rural mountainous countryside unfolds, with dozens of ancient castles to explore, and interesting small towns to explore. Burg Hochosterwitz is one of Europe’s most ancient castles, dating from 860AD.
Balkans & Peaks of the Balkans
Ordinær pris 179,00 krThe portion of Europe east of the Adriatic and west of the Black Sea and south of the Alps has traditionally formed the region known as the Balkan States. This includes the former Yugoslavian states of Slovenia, Slovakia, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia Herzegovina, Kosovo, Serbia, and Northern Macedonia, as well as Albania, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. Due to its shape, a large portion of Greece, and a bit of Turkey also are included. This is a new area of mapping for us, resulting from numerous visits to the region It is essentially a road map, as the rail network is weak, although rail lines carrying passengers are shown. Nice though the regional map is, its strength lies in the hiking map of the Peaks of the Balkans on the other side.
This detailed map is centred on eastern Montenegro, northern Albania, and western Kosovo. The ten major hiking routes are shown in pink, and there are numerous secondary routes one can explore. This is a growing touristic destination for those seeking a semi-wilderness area for enjoyment, while remaining in Europe, and is becoming quite popular. Accommodations are comprehensively shown, as well as campsites. Contouring is shown, and many peaks are noted. It should be stated that, as these paths cross international borders, hikers should keep their passports handy for inspection Legend Includes: Roads by classification, Rivers and Lakes, National Park, Airports, Points of Interests, Highways, Main Roads, Zoos, Fishing, and much more...

Fra ITM: 2nd edition October 2015. Folded map with detailed road and rail network, National Parks and Reserves with complete index of all cities and towns in the map. In this edition, major urban areas are shown in Cyrillic as well as the Latin alphabet, hypsometry has been re-worked to show elevation differences better. This is a double-sided map of the country (divided into west and east halves) with part of Lithuania on the western part and a fair amount of Russia on the eastern side. Known international border crossings are shown, except on crossing into Russia, which are numerous. A large inset map for Minsk in a very suitable scale (1:15.000 Scale) comprising most of the touristic sights and places of interest and Metro lines has also been provided that is far better than what we could show previously.

Croatia: Dubrovnik & Croatian Coast Cruise
Ordinær pris 199,00 krThe ancient port city of Dubrovnik, on the southern Croatian coastline, has evolved into a major tourist destination. The old walled city, normally entered through the famous Pile Gate, was so crowded with tourists when we arrived, that it took some time to get to the main street of Stradun. The city has completely recovered from the Montenegrin bombing during the breakup of Yugoslavia, with a few shellholes remaining just to show to tourists. The highlights of a visit are the Rector’s Palace, the Tvrdava fortress, and the cathedral. The map covers the urban area outside of the old town as well, as this is where most of the hotels and restaurants are located.
The other side of the map shows the extensive coastline of Croatia in two parts – from the Italian border to Trogir, and from Split to the border with Montenegro. We travelled from Porec to Dubrovnik in a small cruise ship of 45 passengers, which enabled us to visit ports that larger ships could not reach. As a result, we visited islands we could not have otherwise visited. The cover picture shows grandson Johnny in one such small town.
Dublin & Republic of Ireland
Ordinær pris 199,00 krWe are pleased to present our most recent edition of Dublin, combined with a map of Ireland on the reverse side. The cover notes the Republic of Ireland, which is the focus of attention, but most of Northern Ireland (Belfast area excluded) shows as well. Regardless, one side of the sheet is a detailed map of Dublin, the capital of the Republic and a very popular travel destination.
The coverage goes far beyond the norm, extending from the River Tolka in the north to south of the Grand Canal, and from Phoenix Park in the west as far east as the Dublin Bay. The River Liffey, of course, flows across the centre of the page. Dublin has two rapid-transit tram lines, both of which are prominently shown, as is the city centre, all parks, as many hotels as we could find, shopping areas and restaurants, theatres and educational institutions, embassies, the ferry terminal, and much more.
The Top Attractions are also noted. The other side of the sheet presents a very detailed travel map of the Republic, showing all motorways, highways, and secondary routes, as well as rail lines. Touristic attractions, such as Blarney Castle and the Rock of Cashel are highlighted. This would be an excellent map for those touring the Republic by road.
Europe Eastern: Railway & Road
Ordinær pris 199,00 krEurope 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.

Ordinær pris 199,00 krITM har kart over hele verden og de spesialiserer seg på land litt utenfor allfarvei. Beliggenheten til landets nasjonalparker, historiske monumenter, de viktigste veiene og lignende finner du inkludert i kartene. Samtlige landkart har ofte et bykart over hovedstaden.
Fra ITM: NATO’s newest member shares a very long border with Russia, but the border is closed at the moment. The country faces west and welcomes visitors. It is also a very large country, so the map is divided into a north/south configuration. Side 1 shows the southern portion fronting on to the Sea of Bothnia and the strait facing Estonia. The capital, Helsinki, and the western port city of Tartu are shown, as well as ferry routes connecting the country to port cities along the Baltic Sea. This is a country of lakes, which are clearly shown, as are the rail routes joining communities and the highly-developed road network. Side 2 concentrates on the more northerly portions, all the way to Lapland in the far north. Border crossings to Russia are shown, but they are closed due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. A Top Attractions list is included.
France: French Atlantic Coast - Rail & Bike
Ordinær pris 179,00 krFrance is a rather large country, and while it can be portrayed on a map as a country, mapping it in segments provides an opportunity to concentrate on regions at a better scale. This map, covering the coastal region of France from the Cotenin Peninsula south to the Spanish border and east as far as Paris and Montpellier in Languedoc is the first of what we hope will be a series covering the country at an improved scale. This map is double-sided, covering from Quimper and Paris at the northernmost portion of coverage, to Angouleme and Clermont at the southern extreme on one side, with the second side covering from Bordeaux and St-Etienne south to Bayonne/Pamplona and Nimes/Avignon in the south. This is a part of Europe that has been fought over for centuries, and as such is dotted with fortresses proclaiming its historic importance.
This map has been designed with the leisure traveller in mind. Although it shows all motorways and highways, rail connections by train are emphasized, as are long-distance Euro-Velo cycling routes that are being developed in many parts of Europe. At this scale, it would be impractical to record all accommodations, but we have included a new feature that is thus far peculiar to France, and that is motorway hotels at rest areas. Naturally, the map is rich with places of touristic interest.
France: North Rail & Bike
Ordinær pris 199,00 krFrance: South Rail & Bike
Ordinær pris 199,00 krThis is a brand new title for ITMB and an attempt to portray a changing travel landscape in a mapping format. Eco-tourism is a rapidly growing activity, with enormous potential. At the same time, governments are seeking to reduce carbon pollution by encouraging train travel, so ITMB is climbing aboard the movement by publishing a map encouraging train travel while still retaining the road network and noting all the long-distance bike routes in southern France by designated number.
This is, by its scale, a generalized map of that portion of France south of Poitiers or Lyon to the Mediterranean, so is more of a regional map showing biking opportunities than a detailed trail map. Nevertheless, it is an excellent map on waterproof paper showing cycling routes and tertiary roads that are suitable for recreational exploration. Naturally, motorways and main highways are shown as well. Legend Includes: Roads by classification, Rivers and Lakes, National Park, Airports, Points of Interests, Mining, Highways, Main Roads, Zoos, Fishing, , and much more...
Geneva & Western Switzerland
Ordinær pris 199,00 krITM 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: Geneva is an ancient Swiss town close to the French border, nestled along the edge of Lake Leman, and is bisected by the Rhone River. The old town is on the left, or lower, bank and is loaded with shops and restaurants. The ‘new’ town is on the right, or upper, bank and contains the downtown shopping area and the main railway station. The United Nations complex, the Palais des Nations, is a bit of a walk to reach, so fortunately there is a tram that goes right to the gates. The airport is shown at the top of the page. The 2nd side is a new map for us, covering the western half of Switzerland as far as Basle and Luzern, concentrating on the rail network as well as the roads. For example, it shows the rail line to Zermatt, at the base of the Matterhorn.

Fra ITM: This is a brand new map for ITMB, but it isn’t. The former edition was named Bavaria, which as a province of Germany is less well-travelled than we expected, so we have reversed gears and placed Munich front and centre, with a more detailed map of the southern portion of Bavaria on the reverse side. Munich, or München in German, is a very old city and the second largest international airport from America in Germany (after Frankfurt). Much of the Aldstadt (old town), based on the former Roman city, is now pedestrianized and is a great place to walk. The cathedral, of course, is wonderful to see. The U-Bahn suburban trains and S-trains make getting around the city easy, but I prefer the trams. The Hauptbahnhof (main railway station) is on the western edge of the city centre and is huge! The map covers from the Olympic Park in the north to the ring road in the south and has both a regional inset map of the hinterland of Munich and a map of the tram lines. The back cover has a very convenient schematic map of the U and S train lines. The other side of the sheet is a very detailed map of southern Bavaria., from the Bodensee at Linden to Passau and as far north as Regensburg.

Fra ITM: This is the third set of artwork for Great Britain that we have published and the first that is completely our own artwork (the previous versions were joint ventures). In mapping, as in life, one has to differentiate between the political entity known as the United Kingdom and the geo-political reality of Greater Britain, which includes the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, and various assorted entities that are loosely attached to the UK by history. We have tried, in this edition, to combine a detailed road map with a touristic sites map. Given that Britain is both densely covered by thousands of narrow laneway passing themselves off as sub-B level roads and by having the greatest treasure trove in the world of castles, manor houses, gardens, museums, and interesting places worth visiting, and the task of portraying all this information becomes formidable. To keep the map from becoming too cluttered, we had to compromise, so if you don’t find the little laneway leading to your favourite pub in Devon, sorry. We've done our best to portray Britain as positively as possible, so if you're hankering to visit Foula Island, it's on the map!

Great Britain: England East Coast
Ordinær pris 199,00 krThe United Kingdom may be geographically small, but it is so packed with touristic sites that it needs to be broken down into logical units to be manageable. This is the first of several maps we will be publishing of England at 1:250,000 scale, covering Southeast England from Dover to Southampton north to Luton on Side 1 and from Colchester to Coventry north to Sheffield and Boston; essentially all of SE England from the Channel to Derbyshire and west to the Isle of Wight.
Even at this scale, there is only room to show major attractions without creating clutter. Both road and rail routes are clearly shown, with rapid-rail routes shown in red. This latter feature is not included on most other maps, an one notes with a bit of surprise that this part of England has more such routes than is generally believed to exist. We travelled on one of these trains during our recent visit to the UK (albeit from Newcastle to Edinburgh) and they are quite an improvement! Whether by train or by road, all options are shown. Whether one wishes to visit Hever Castle in Kent or Winchester cathedral, or the university cities of Cambridge or Oxford, this is an ideal map for exploring one of the most touristic corners of Europe.
Greece: Crete; Mykonos & Santorini
Ordinær pris 169,00 krThe many islands off the coast of Greece can only be mapped properly a few at a time. Side 1 of this map shows the large island of Crete in good detail, with the relatively nearby island of Mykonos and its adjacent island of Rinia and the island of Santorini, with its adjacent islands of Thirasia and Nea Kameni being shown in great detail. A locality map showing the islands in relation to the rest of Greece is included as an inset. It is our intention to map more islands as time passes, but this depends upon future research trips (we lead a hard life!).
Side 2 of the map is a general map of Greece in relation to its neighbours to the north and east. The Mediterranean is divided into smaller seas, such as the Adriatic along the coast of Croatia, the Ionian to the west of Greece, the Myrtoan to its south and the Aegean to its east. All this area is replete with islands and geopolitical conflicts. As such, this map is useful for showing the region as an entity that links the Balkan states to the eastern Mediterranean.
Italy: South & Central
Ordinær pris 179,00 krKosovo & Western Balkans
Ordinær pris 199,00 krKosovo is the country that shouldn't exist, but does. When Yugoslavia fell to pieces after Tito died, Kosovo was lumped in with Serbia but was very unhappy with being a part of an Eastern Orthodox regime. It broke away, resulting in genocidal fighting until the Americans stepped in and stopped the fighting. The region was then placed under a European Union control in the faint hope that it would merge with Albania, or Montenegro, but it didn't. Relations with Serbia are still quite strained, but Kosovo is still surviving as a mountainous Balkan state. Fought over for centuries by Turks and Serbs, Kosovo is emerging as a small but touristic European country. This is definitely an off-the-beaten-path travel destination!
The second side of the sheet provides an excellent regional coverage for the Western Balkans, essentially Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, and reasonably large tracks of land for Hungary, Albania, and North Macedonia, showing the growing number of wilderness parks being created.
Liechtenstein & Western Austria
Ordinær pris 179,00 krEurope is dotted with mini-states that exist solely for historic reasons but are fiercely independent. Liechtenstein, surrounded by Switzerland on its west and south and Austria on its other borders, is such a state. It is larger and more diverse than many imagine and is quite a popular ski resort region. Side 1 is a detailed map of the principality, framed on the west by the Rhine River and a bit of Switzerland and on the east by Austria. Most development occurs in the Rhine Valley in a north-south direction, dominated by the capital city of Vaduz. There are five access points from Switzerland across the Rhine, one from the south, and two from Austria in the north. The ski haven of Malbun is prominently shown, and the scale of the map is detailed enough to name every major street. This also enabled us the opportunity to include schools, shopping areas, post offices, and churches, as well as a wide range of eating establishments. Walking/hiking trails have also been included.
This is the only map of Liechtenstein ever produced by a cartographic firm, and joins Andorra, Luxembourg, and Monaco as a valued part of ITMB's coverage of Europe. Side 2 concentrates on eastern Austria and southern Germany from Lake Boden (Bodensee) to Linz and from the Italian border north to Passau, in Germany. It is both a road/rail map and a physical relief map of this portion of the Alps. It includes its own Top Attractions list. Border crossings are shown merely as a formality, except for Switzerland. This would be an excellent map to use to explore the mountains south of Innsbruck or to discover small villages in the Tirol.
Luxembourg & Eastern Belgium
Ordinær pris 199,00 krLuxembourg is the largest of Europe’s mini-states. We have included the principality on maps of surrounding countries, as most publishers do, but we felt it was time to concentrate on the principality itself and place it into context with its neighbours. Bounded on the west by Belgium, on its east by Germany, and its south by France, Luxembourg has survived for centuries by playing off one large power against another in order to retain its independence. Largely a French-speaking area, Luxembourg is also a strong supporter of the EU. It is a mountainous country, part of the Ardennes region, and close to Bastogne, the focal point of Hitler's last attempt to break the Allies in what is now called the Battle of the Bulge. Bastogne, site of a marvelous WW2 museum, is also on Side 1, as is a portion of Belgium going as far as Mons.
Side 2 concentrates on Belgium east of Brussels, with a small portion of Netherlands included. This includes the Brussels region, Antwerp, Leuven, Liege, and Aachen, with a tiny portion of Germany. Belgium is a larger and more diverse country than many realize. One of the great treasure of eastern Belgium is the cathedral town of Liege, which is known in Flemish as Luik and in German as Luttich, which can make finding it a bit challenging, depending upon whose map one is using, or which road signs one is following!
Mediterranean Cruising
Ordinær pris 199,00 krITM 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: We are very pleased to present our very first cruising map covering the Mediterranean Sea. This is a double-sided map covering the eastern portion on side 1 and the western part on side 2. We were presented with a dilemma in designing this map, in that the shape of the sea is such that to include the straits of Gibraltar and the Dardanelles on the same map, a compromise would be necessary.
As few cruise ships now go to the North African coast, we concentrated on showing only the portion from Morocco to Tunisia so we could show Spain, France, Italy, Greece, the Balkans, and the Eastern Mediterranean, including the Black Sea. Little did we know that war in Europe would impact so intensely on what should be a pleasurable touristic map. Regardless, almost all of the ports of call for cruise ships in 2022 are shown on this map, including those favoured by smaller liners in the Adriatic Sea. We have also included common ferry routes between Italy and Greece and Marseille to Algiers.
Norway: North & Central
Ordinær pris 169,00 krNorway is one of the more interesting countries in Europe for travellers, in that it has wide open spaces and unusual Arctic scenery, particularly in the north. Because it is a rather long and narrow country, trying to portray it adequately on a single sheet results in a lack of scale adequate for showing touristic attractions. This map covers the northern portion of the country, from Trondheim to Nordkapp and from the North Atlantic to the Russian border. It also shows a portion of northern Sweden and a bit of Finland and Russia, but its focus is on roads, rail connections, airports, distance markers, parks, and touristic attractions in the region. Most noticeably, the rail lines leading to Trondheim and north to Bodo are clearly shown. Communities, sometimes fairly small, are included, as are ferries to outlying islands close to the coast.
The reverse side shows the rail line to Narvik coming in from Sweden, and all roads and towns north to the Arctic Ocean and east to the Russian border. Border crossing to Sweden/Finland are not shown, as both countries are part of the EU, but crossings to Russia are shown, albeit closed at the moment.
Norway: Oslo, Bergen & South
Ordinær pris 199,00 krThis map represents a major step forward on coverage of southern Norway. The map is now on tear-resistant stone paper and places Oslo and Bergen on one side, allowing us to include a large-scale map of all of southern Norway as far north as Trondheim on the other side. This covers the portion of Norway most visited and includes all the best-known fiords. The back cover also shows a schematic rendition of the 6 metro lines in Oslo, plus the tram network and the commuter rail from the airport into the city.
Norway: Spitsbergen & Svalbard & Northern Norway

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.

Fra ITM: We are very pleased to be able to release a double-sided detailed map of Portugal. Although we have included the country in previous maps, it was always as an adjunct to another map (Spain and Portugal, Portugal and Southern Spain etc.), so it is high time that this very nice popular country had its own ITM map. Being a long, rather thin country, Side 1 concentrates on Lisbon and the southern half of Portugal with a detailed inset map of Lisbon. It also includes the Spanish provinces of Huelva and Badajoz. Side 2 covers the northern half of the country along with portions of neighbouring Spanish provinces. As a country, Portugal has a wealth of touristic attractions and we have included as many as we can on this map without cluttering it – castles, palaces, fortresses, cathedrals and churches, dozens of museums, beaches, a few hotels, mines, monuments, and just about everything a visitor would want to have. Of course, motorways, highways, secondary routes, rail lines, ferry services, and geographic heights of land are also included; altogether, a fabulous map for a wonderful country.

Portugal: Lisbon & Portugal
Ordinær pris 199,00 krThe 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.
Rhine River Cruising
Ordinær pris 199,00 krThe Rhine River flows from the Gletch Glacier in the Swiss Alps north to central Germany and then on to Amsterdam and the North Sea. It has been a major transportation link in Europe for many centuries, with dozens of castles located at strategic points. Today, it is a peaceful touristic haven as well as a busy working river, with dozens of shallow-draft boats wending their way around countless turns in the river. It is probably the busiest tourist highway in Europe. This double-sided map starts in Amsterdam, where it is known as the Waal, and follows the course of the river inland past Nijmegen to the German border, where the name changes to Rhine. There are many notable interesting cities along its route, such as Essen in the Ruhr Valley, Dusseldorf, Koln, with its magnificent cathedral, Bonn, Castle Arenfels, Koblenz, and Rüdesheim, where it joins the Main River and heads east to Frankfurt-on-Main and points east. As a map is a rectangular sheet of paper and a river is a narrow portion wending its way as geography takes it. This is much more than a simple river map. It is a detailed portrayal of a very interesting part of Europe, extending far beyond the banks of the river, and is ideal for those travelling by car, by train, or by river boat. A detailed city centre map of Frankfurt is included.
