A world worth understanding.

Traffic measurement

TourPedia measures page views, browser users, traffic sources and focused reading time in its own database. A random first-party browser identifier lasts up to two years; its server record uses a keyed hash. We do not store visitor IP addresses, full referrer URLs, search queries or ad click identifiers in analytics. Raw events and sessions are kept for up to 180 days. A local DB-IP database estimates the country from the network address supplied by our hosting edge. This lookup runs on our server; the address is not stored in analytics or sent to a geolocation service. VPNs and proxies can change the result; missing locations stay unknown. Signed-in editors, known bots and browser Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals are excluded.

Photography

Real place photographs accompany the guides, with credits, original source links and license information beside the images. Captions record archival dates and changes such as cropping where relevant. A historical photograph does not show current conditions.

Check the credit beside a photograph for its source and applicable license. Any AI illustration or reconstruction is identified as such.

Editorial approach

Original writing is prepared with AI assistance. Research records are retained internally, and the site owner checks the content and photographs before publication.

Guides link to official visitor or venue websites where available. Check those sources before travelling for current opening times, admission, access and booking conditions.
