A thread for interesting MAPS

So they DO come to Brazil.

I wonder how much that would align with a map of wealth

Some of those times sound painful. 2:48 in Sweden!!!

Spain the most lucky of them all though

The UK is such a tall country in comparison and London is in the south. It's certainly earlier than that here.

But on the plus side, we get lovely long daylight hours in the summer.

No wonder @RaspberrySwirl is so MISERABLE!

It’s setting at 5 at the moment and I’m already at my WIT’S END!

Edinburgh not considered one of Europe’s capitals apparently

It’s not as extreme as it looks. Stockholm lies further south than both Helsinki and Oslo, so technically the sun sets later but the time zone makes it seem earlier.


But yeah it’s already dark by 4 pm now that we’ve switched to winter time.

Spain really shouldn’t be in the CET time zone.

For the record the sun sets at 15:39 here.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Anything before 17:00 should be ILLEGAL

 

[Pipo]

The sun sets at 18:30 here but it's miserable nonetheless.

 

[Heppje]

Some of those times look a bit sus. Minsk in particular. I'm assuming they don't put clocks back or something compared with their neighbours. They should equalise the time for the purposes of this map otherwise it's all a bit confusing.

It took me reading this 4 times to understand it But I can see that, since it probably effects things like work and meal times

15.53??? Ppffftt!

Try coming up to the north west coast in mid December and see if it’s still light at half past 3!

They should separate Edinburgh and London too - QUITE a difference.

One of the biggest for the UK, John Lennon, is in the wrong place

And Paul McCartney not even listed

I think it is due to the birthplace being recorded as the old maternity hospital on Oxford Street? (same place as me!)

 

[Saltwater]

Google suggests that the Edinburgh sunset time is just 2 minutes sooner than London, is it lying?

It will be closer in Autumn and Spring. The light difference is very noticeable travelling between the two in either Winter or Summer though.

Bosnia does actually have a (very short) coast line.

How easy is it to drive to Dubrovnik from the main part of Croatia?

Well this is something I learned today.

Before they built that bridge you had to go through border check twice.

As you have discovered there’s a bridge, although, based on my recent holiday, most people travelling from Split to Dubrovnik will do at least part of the distance on a ferry.

Now I do like Italy

But let’s be honest. Their food is shite

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Hey, you know what’s better than pasta and pizza?

Trains!

(This map shows you how far you can travel from each station in Europe in less than 5 hours.)

Because of all the snakes
