How the guide is made

Each place guide brings together the essentials you need to decide and get organised: address, opening hours, prices, access, best season and places to see nearby. Practical information is dated and its sources are cited at the end of the article. The rules that guide our writing are set out in our editorial policy, and the team is introduced on the Editorial team page.

The guide also improves thanks to its readers: the “Has something changed?” form in every article reports an error to the editors, and organisers can suggest their events for the events calendar.

Independence and funding

The guide is free. It is funded by advertising and by partner links (activities and accommodation) that may earn us a commission. This income decides neither which places are featured nor what we think of them. Content paid for by an advertiser is always labelled “Sponsored content”.
