The next time you’re at a wine and cheese soirée and a well heeled guest begins to talk about her trip to Budapest, smoothly butt in with an “Ahhh, Budapest … isn’t the Deak Ter station there the quaintest?” You’ll sound more Hungarian than Goulash.

So, how will you know Budapest even has a subway? With Mark Ovendum’s new Transit Maps of the World: The World’s First Collection of Every Urban Train Map on Earth (aff), it’s easy to pretend you’re a native.

Featuring subway maps from more than 200 cities, this must-have for urban travel freaks includes a little background on each subway and the challenges of building it.
