In Canada -- 480 University Ave., Suite 1500, Toronto, ON M5G 1V2 (tel. 877/315-6237 or 416/968-1685).

Maps -- The tourist offices of every major German town or city will give you a map of their town. Most of these are adequate unless you're seeking the most obscure streets or lanes. If you're going on a road tour of Germany, you can purchase road maps at all gasoline stations and most major bookstores. In our experiences the most detailed and reliable of German road maps are published by either Falk Verlag or else the auto club, ADAC, by Shell.
