My husband loves subway maps. He collects them. We have tons of them at home from all over the world. When we travel to a new city, we always use the subway system. It's such a great way to explore a city and experience its day to day life.
I seem to have acquired a love for subway maps too. I love their bright colours, their web-like shapes, and the foreign names of their subway stops.
So anyway, this post is for my hubbie, who had a rough day today and could use a little pick me up : )
Washington, DC
Tokyo
Montreal : )
Paris
Moscow
NYC
Hong Kong
London
This website compares all the world's subway maps on the same scale.... it's absolutely fascinating to look at!

hey you!!! i also love maps of anything for some reason - these are so fun! hope that you have been well - i'm excited to read what you've been up to while i was gone! :)
That's actually really interesting! I've never thought of collecting them before but why not? Nice and colourful!
Thanks your comment on my blog. :) I love the idea of collecting something that you get for free and using it as a memento. What do you do with the maps after you collect them? I try to scrapbook our adventures and tend to keep town maps, take out menus, and ticket stubs. Next time I take public transportation I will have to save my map!
My hubby and your hubby would be very good friends...haha...He also loves subway maps...Those are very cool and I am going to send him a link to your blog right away:) Kisses,darling
Ps: I am hosting a sweet GIVEAWAY today :) Hope you will join in :)!!!
How fun! I like to use them as background pages for our scrapbook of travels. Did get a little overwhelmed looking at Tokyo's map ;)
ahem...where is Chicago's map?? Would you like me to send one for your collection? :)
That website IS fascinating! Moscow is the most organized looking of all!
I love subway maps! They are great in decor too if you put a large one up on the wall. Also, I just wanted to let you know that I put your button on my blog. Hope you can do the same? Thanks!
ok, now I love subway maps too! Couldn't you just see them framed in a group on the wall? Sending good thoughts for you and hubby. xo
When I went to London I gazed at the map lovingly seeing all the places to explore. You've totally taken me back in time. Love that!

I love the subway, I feel like such a local whenever I travel and take it! You've been to some wonderful places!
I love them too! We have a world map shower curtain, I would prefer a subway map! That scale drawing is cool! XX!
That is such a groovy thing to collect! I don't collect anything as of right now but I plan to do some big time show collecting once I start earning. ;)
