I recently stumbled across Oliver Jeffers‘ One city, Five Hours project on the fuckyeahcartography tumblr and immediately fell for his the simple and adorable illustrations. His illustrations were made to accompany the United Airlines magazine Hemispheres’ One City, Five Hours series that gives a step to step guide to how to spend a five hour layover in a city. According to Oliver Jeffers, all of his maps are ‘geographically accurate’. Do you think you could fit in all this action in just five hours?

Copenhagen:
San Fransisco:
