"a Place Page is a web page for every place in the world, organizing all the world's information for that place. And we really mean every place: there are Place Pages for businesses, points of interest, transit stations, landmarks, and cities all over the world."
To get to a Place Page you can click on the 'more info' link that appears when you carry out a search in Google Maps.
The place pages for locations include geographically relevant Panoramio photos, YouTube videos, user created My Maps, a list of the top My Maps contributors for the location and a list of popular places.
Each Place Page also comes with a user friendly URL, in the form,
http://google.com/places/us/california/san-francisco-city
http://google.com/places/gb/greater-london/stratford
As well Place Pages for towns and cities there are Place Pages for businesses, points of interest, transit stations and landmarks, e.g.
The Eiffel Tower
Macy's, New York
