Need a Map?

terkepkiralyAs noted in my previous blog, while hiking in the Pilis last weekend the paper map, signboard map and google maps were all incorrect. Therefore I went to buy a new map today at Terkepkiraly, just across from Arany Janos Metro Station (Bajcsy Zs. Ut 21)  open M-F 8-20. Given the extensive reliance on GPS and Google Maps these days, I was happy to note that this place is still operating and has an active customer base. Anyway, in the hills it is not certain one can get a signal. Run by a few friendly old ladies, the store offers maps for both domestic and international destinations, including bicycle maps. They even have globes - remember those?!
