Notion Maps for City Guides
Publish a living city guide from your Notion database with a shareable map, embed code, and live export URLs
Free • No credit card required • Updated
A city guide is only useful when people can see what is nearby, open it on their phone, and share it without joining your Notion workspace. A database of restaurants, museums, shops, and neighborhood notes becomes much more useful when it is a map someone can browse on the street.
NotionToMaps turns the Place properties you already maintain into a public city guide. Keep your editorial notes, categories, opening tips, and links in Notion; publish an interactive map, embed it in a guide or newsletter, and update every destination by editing the original row.
Key Stats
By the numbers
2,000 locations
Google My Maps limits a single layer to 2,000 features, which matters when a guide grows beyond a short weekend list

Notion Map View displays up to 100 items at one time, so larger city guides need a separate publishing surface

About Notion Maps for City Guides
A Notion city guide is a database of local recommendations — places to eat, visit, shop, work, or stay — with a Place property on every entry. NotionToMaps makes that database readable as a public map without duplicating the guide in another CMS.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make separate maps for food, museums, and shopping?
Keep categories in your Notion database and use the Premium map filter to publish a focused guide by property value. Your master database remains the single source of truth; a Notion database view is not a separate NotionToMaps map source.
Can readers open the guide without a Notion account?
Yes. A NotionToMaps public map link opens in a browser, so readers do not need access to your workspace or a Notion login.
Can I embed the city guide on my website?
Yes. Copy the embed snippet from the map page and place it in a compatible site builder, blog, or custom page.
How do I keep a city guide current?
Edit the original Notion database. Add a new place, change a note, or remove a closed venue there and the map reads the updated data on its next refresh.
