About
Less time spent
planning your trip
World by City is a travel information site: pick a country and city and you get what to see, how to cover it over a few days, and where to stay — in one flow. We currently cover 684 cities, 14696 sights and 6147 guides.
🗺️
Start with the area
Within one city, the area you stay in changes your whole route. We start by describing what each area is like and who it suits.
🧭
Grouped by route
We anchor each day on a major sight and group nearby places together, so you never cross the city twice in a day.
✅
Only what we can verify
We avoid naming specific hotels or quoting prices that change. Actual rates and conditions belong on the booking sites.
Editorial principles
- •We don't publish specific hotel names, prices or figures we can't verify, so that time-sensitive information doesn't mislead readers.
- •We focus on practical information that doesn't change much over time: choosing an area, when to visit, transport, accommodation types and what to check when booking.
- •For prices, availability and cancellation terms, we always point you to the booking page itself.
- •Attraction descriptions are written by our editorial team. We do not list frequently changing details such as opening hours, closing days, or admission fees - please check official sources before visiting.
We go there ourselves
Every story in the magazine is written from a trip we actually took, using photos we shot ourselves on the day. We do not publish AI-generated images, other people’s photos, or reviews of places we have not visited.
So far we have published 46 travel stories with 814 photographs taken on location. Member reviews are held to the same standard and are reviewed before they appear.
