‘OnionMap’ is a cool interactive website with [3-D maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-station-maps) of some of the largest cities in the world. The site has compiled 33 browsable maps with easy to use zooming and navigating tools. In addition, users can simply find [local attractions, hotels, shopping, restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-map-club) along with the address and useful other information.

I had fun with ‘OnionMap’ checking out Las Vegas, Paris, New York, Toronto, London and Hong Kong. The site is pretty basic right now, but there’s oodles of potential to become a really [useful tool for travellers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cityone).
