Ideas for your city map
Meaningful places—as posters on your wall
Some places stay with you forever: the bar where you had your first date, the courthouse where you got married, the hospital where your child was born, the city where you grew up. A personalized city map turns a street map into a work of art—with a heart in just the right spot, your names, the date, and the coordinates. A gift for an anniversary, a wedding, a new baby, or a new home.

As a poster, canvas, aluminum Dibond, or acrylic print—or as a digital download.
Create your map right in your browser, on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. Find your place, choose a map style, colors, and shape—circle, heart, or rectangle—and put the marker exactly where it happened. Add names, a date, coordinates, or a personal message to the template, and choose your font. You can combine several places on one poster, such as three chapters of a love story or two hometowns. Your map is printed by a local photo printing service as a poster, canvas, aluminum Dibond, or acrylic print—or you can order the file to print yourself.
Premium materials and a wide range of sizes
We partner with a local photo printing service to print your city map as a poster, canvas, aluminum Dibond, or acrylic print. The fine lines of a city map look especially crisp on a satin-finish poster in a frame or on aluminum Dibond.
Customer Reviews
A new card was sent free of charge and without asking for it after the first one got lost (and still is) by DHL. Now received and it looks great!
There is absolutely nothing to criticize about the poster itself - it's of decent quality!
The accommodating approach was very customer-oriented and understandable.
Frequently asked questions about personalized city maps
Which places can I choose?
Any place in the world: a city, village, island, address, or set of coordinates. Find your place in the editor and adjust the map view so the street, river, or coastline is right where you want it. The marker—a heart, house, or pin—marks the exact spot.
Can I show several places on one poster?
Yes. There are templates with two maps side by side, three circular maps in a row, or a heart made of two city maps. You can bring together the places where you met, got engaged, and married, two hometowns, or the milestones of a life on one print—with separate text for each map.
What text can I add to the map?
Anything that fits in the template's text fields: names, a date, a time, coordinates, the city name, or a personal message like “Where it all began.” The marker's coordinates are added automatically, but you can change them. You choose the font and color.
Can I combine a map and a photo?
Yes, in two ways: the photo map shows your photo on top and the city map below, while the heart-shaped photo collage splits the heart into a photo and a map. If you want to include more photos, a photo collage is the perfect choice—many customers order both as a matching pair for the same wall.
What occasions is a city map right for?
The place where you met for an anniversary or Valentine's Day, three chapters of your love story for a wedding, a birth poster with the date and birth weight for a new baby, a new home for a housewarming, your old hometown when you move away, or life's milestones for retirement. And for city lovers, simply their favorite city as a designer poster.
