Editorial Policy

What we publish

City travel information changes quickly. We publish practical guides and independent reviews that help readers plan and explore. Our articles draw on our own travel experience, on research in external sources, and on honest opinion. Where we make practical claims — opening hours, ticket prices, transport links, tour operations — we link to the source so you can check it yourself. We also encourage you to confirm details with the relevant official operator, because schedules, venues and prices change.

How we make our articles

We write each article and use AI tools to help draft the text. The facts come from us, and we check and edit the draft before publishing. AI assists with wording, structure, titles and descriptions; the facts, research and judgments are ours. We also follow travel communities and watch video guides, and we research activities online, so our recommendations reflect what we have seen and what we have read.

Photography

We license third-party photography and credit it wherever it appears. Credits name the photographer or the source so you can see where an image came from.

Experience, research and opinion

Our firsthand impressions come from our own trips: exploring cities, joining tours and visiting the places we write about. Researched facts are based on external sources we cite. Opinion and recommendations are our judgments, not settled facts. We keep the three separate in the text so you can tell what is experience, what is researched and what is our view. Article dates reflect actual publication and content updates.

Funding and advertising

Our sites carry advertising, affiliate links and newsletters. Some links to travel providers are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when you book through them. Other links are not. Our Disclosures page explains these arrangements.
