The best travel experiences are discovered down side streets, in family-run cafés, at neighbourhood markets, through conversations with local makers, and in the places that residents return to again and again.

Mercure’s Local Maps have been created to help travellers experience destinations more authentically. Curated by Mercure teams around the world, each map brings together a collection of carefully selected recommendations that reflect the character, culture and everyday spirit of a destination.

From hidden restaurants in Tokyo and artisan workshops in Florence to scenic coastal walks in Sydney and vibrant markets in Bangkok, every recommendation has been chosen by people who live and breathe the neighbourhood.

With more than 100 destinations already available worldwide, Mercure’s Local Maps invite travellers to discover a more personal side of the places they visit.
