Who we are
JourneyCities (often searched as Journey Cities) is a small, independent travel guide. We are not a travel agency, a tour company or part of a media group, and nobody pays us to include a place or to write about it.
The site covers cities and regions around the world. Each destination has a main guide and a set of shorter guides on the practical questions: how to get there, when to go, where to stay, and what each sight is like to visit.
Why we built it
Most travel pages answer the same few questions in the same way and are rarely updated. We wanted guides that put the practical side first: which entrance to use, how long things take, which days places are closed, what the weather is like each month, and how to get from the airport to the centre.
We show no ads and use no affiliate links. If that ever changes, we will say so on this page and next to any link that earns us money.
How we research and write
We write each guide from published sources, mainly:
- official websites of museums, sights, parks and religious sites, for opening days, entry rules and booking;
- transport operators and airports, for routes and connections;
- city and national tourism boards;
- weather records: the monthly tables on destination pages are averages of daily data for 2015 to 2024 from Open-Meteo;
- map positions from OpenStreetMap, checked by hand on the map.
We use AI writing tools to help us draft and organise text. A draft is not published until the facts in it are checked against the sources above and it meets our own rules: no invented personal stories, no prices in the guides (they change too often to be reliable), and clear British English.
We do not pretend to have visited every place we cover. Where a guide includes first-hand notes or our own photos, it says so. Readers who have been there can add their own advice in the traveller tips at the end of each guide.
How we keep guides up to date
Entry rules, timetables and closures change. When we learn that something has changed, we update the guide. If you find something out of date, telling us is the fastest way to get it fixed (see below).
Reviews, tips and vlogs from readers
- Traveller tips are written by registered members who confirm that the tip is from their own visit. Every tip is read by us before it appears.
- Reviews and vlogs are posted by members and show their own opinions, not ours. Vlogs appear only after we approve them, and members can report any vlog to us.
Photos
Most photos come from free photo libraries such as Pexels and Unsplash, chosen to show the actual place described. Where a photographer is credited under an image, the photo is theirs. We do not use photos from social media without the owner's permission.
