Urban Tours by Rental Car
When most people visit European, Asian, and other world cities, they rely on public transit, which gives them a distorted view of those cities. Wendell Cox has been touring cities by rental car and finding -- surprise -- they are a lot more like American cities than media reports usually indicate.
Wendell has now posted more than forty urban tours, most recently Antwerp, Barcelona, and Zurich. Each "tour" consists of a 250KB to 1.2MB PDF file with data, prose, and photographs. Before you leave the country, be sure to download the tour for any of Wendell's cities that are on your itinerary.
