funding from the EU, has reemerged on the world stage as a
destination for those seeking the cultural experience of Southern
Europe. While it still has a patina of wear and retains an air of
shabby chic, renovation and new development are mixing the past
with the present to create an alluring juxtaposition of hip
boutique hotels in old medieval quarters. The magnificent Praca do
Commercial by the river Tejo is the center of the city and reflects
the atmosphere of this historic maritime center. Heading east,
you'll walk through the Alfama with its Moorish past, and up the
rising hillside to the dominating presence of the castle of St.
George. The pastel houses of the Bairro Alto line up like sunwashed
Easter eggs. There's a terrific panoramic view from the park on Rua
de San Pedro that shouldn't be missed. Additional must see visits
are to the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, with one of the best art
collections in Europe, and to Belem to see the Cultural Centre, and
the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos, the monastery commemorating Portugal s
seagoing superiority. Take the metro D line or a taxi up to the
Parque das Nacoes, home of Expo 98 and now a splendid outdoor vista
with shops, restaurants and one of the most stunning Aquariums on
earth, the Oceanarium. The STREETWISE (R) Lisbon map, including the
Lisbon Area map, pulls all of these sites plus hotels, and metro
stations together to help you navigate and enjoy your visit to
Lisbon. The Lisbon Region map will guide you on day trips west of
the city along the beautiful Costa Estoril to Cascais, Estoril and
Sintra. And finally, a map of Portugal facilitates further
exploration of the beautiful countryside. Our pocket size map of
Lisbon is laminated for durability and accordion folding for

The young, volcanic, Galapagos Archipelago is made up of over 130
islands and islets, although only five are actually inhabited. A
province of Ecuador, they are located on the Equator, about 1,000
km (about 600 miles) to the west of South American mainland. Aside
from their natural beauty, and the opportunities for exploration by
sea, the Galapagos Islands are intimately associated with
scientific research. While this may have begun with Charles
Darwin's brief visit in 1835, today the emphasis is on conservation
research, and the islands and surrounding marine reserve form a
UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site.The Galapagos Islands Explorer

approximately 100 x 69 cm (W x H) when unfolded. It also has
sections on human history, conservation, National Park Rules, the
various island names (Ecuadorian and English), a timeline, and
biographies of the significant people in Galapagos history. It will
complement a trip to the islands, and help you make the most of
your time there.Mapping has come a long way since the islands first
appeared on Gerardus Mercator's map in 1569, and the Galapagos
Islands Explorer is the perfect companion for a visit to the
archipelago. As well as the map itself, the Explorer gives a
general introduction to the geology, climate, and geography of the
islands, plus background background information on the flora and
