How we make routes and tips you can build on

How routes and tips are built up

Every route is built up editorially, step by step: the order of
the stops, the stories for each place and the practical directions are
written and checked before a route goes on sale. The same applies to
places in the city guide: a listing starts with our own description of
what makes a place distinctive — not with an automatically copied text.

Facts, sources and verification

Where a source is required, we publish no fact without one. For
information that can change — such as opening hours, price indications
and facilities — we keep track of when and by whom it was checked. If
such information has not been checked, we would rather not show it than
show it half-checked.

Opening hours can change without our knowledge. Is there a check date
next to it and are you in doubt? Then take a moment to check the
place's own website before you set off — we always recommend that for
important plans.

Editorial and commercial are kept separate

Editorial attention and partnership are different things. When a
listing is part of a commercial partnership, this is clearly indicated
with a label such as "Partner" or "Sponsored". A partnership does not
buy nicer words: the description remains the editors'.

Image rights

For every photo we record who made it and on the basis of which rights
we use the image. Without demonstrable usage rights, we do not publish
an image.

Errors and corrections

Is something wrong — a business that has gone, changed hours, an error
in a story? Corrections are welcome and taken seriously. As soon as
there is a public contact channel, you will find it here; until then,
we keep working on getting things right beforehand.
