To be possible improve search capabilities of our application Smart Point of Interest http://sdi4apps.eu/spoi/, we are looking for available open maps borders of regions and cities. For Europe there is one options NUTS regions. Do you know anybody, if is there some address, where is possible to download all NUTS 5 data for Europe.
But the problem, is outside of Europe and also maps of some natural regions like Balearic Islands or Alps etc. Any suggestions?

Hi Karel,
I agree that it can be quite painful to find the (geo)data that should be provided by official agencies. I think that you can extract the data you need for EU from Eurostat web pages - there are official geodata sets of NUTS and more particularly also communes, from which more detailed levels can be extracted.
You can also check Diva-GIS and GADM.org for other boundaries but I am not sure whether they are in the desired scale. It also might be possible to extract data from OSM.
Please see the links for details.
Regards
Lukas
