We are delighted to finally be able to announce a brand new addition to our website, travel guides by Mapway. We’ve got travel guides covering cities around the world. Find out how cold a New York winter is, how to use the Barcelona metro, what there is to do in Paris and much more.
With our metro, bus, train and subway apps we have helped millions of people to plan journeys and make travel easier. But we knew there was more we could do to help people unfamiliar with a new city. The city travel guides cover weather, currency, attractions, transport and other essentials. We’ve been able to tackle common questions such as “Where do I buy an Oyster card from?” “How do I get to central New York City from the airport?” and “How much should I tip when I’m in Barcelona?” We hand selected 6 cities to start with and here’s a taster of what each travel guide has to offer.New York City
