Wikivoyage:Tourist office

Welcome to the tourist office The Wikivoyage tourist office is a place where you can ask travel-related questions about any place in the world. Wikivoyage volunteers will do their best to find the relevant information (or just reply off the top of their expert heads) and reply to you. Before you ask your question here, be sure to search our travel guide for the destination or topic you're considering. Many questions are already answered within our guides! In addition, some of our destinations have docents who have volunteered to answer questions about specific places. If neither of those avenues bear fruit, then please ask away! This page is for travel-related questions only. Information on how to contribute to Wikivoyage is at Help:Contents, while questions about Wikivoyage itself may be posed at the Pub. Queries regarding general information on non-travel topics may be made at Wikipedia's Reference desk; some topics tangentially related to travel include: the Humanities desk, which deals with geopolitics, culture, and human geography the Science desk, which deals with natural processes, physical geography, and engineering (vehicles, transportation design, etc.) Please note that we can not guarantee a response and can not be held liable for incorrect or outdated information. Answered questions will be moved to the Archives after two weeks of inactivity. Want a faster answer? How can I get my question answered? Explain clearly what you want to know. Provide a short heading that gives the general topic of the question. Tell us what part of the world your question applies to. Don't post personal contact information – it will be removed. We'll answer here within a few days. Don't post questions that common sense or a search engine can answer in a couple of seconds. Disclaimer This is a travel guide that anyone can edit and that relies entirely on volunteer contributions. We do our best, but nothing on this page or elsewhere on the site can be guaranteed to be up-to-date or entirely accurate. In particular, check with other sources for questions that can have serious consequences: With your doctor for health issues With your own government, or another, for travel advisories that may help you avoid dangerous areas With the government of the destination country for visas and travel restrictions With a lawyer for other legal issues Nothing on this site should be taken as medical or legal advice.

Things to do in Nice

a I am going to Nice, France, from December 23 to December 30. Well actually, I will be staying at Colomars, a few kilometres north (and uphill) from Nice, and will probably be spending the most of my time there. But I plan on visiting Nice several times. What is there to do in that time of winter? I know Nice is famous for its beaches, but I don't think there's much to do there during winter. Asked by: JIP (talk) 19:46, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

There are a bunch of museums in Nice which are mentioned in Nice#See, and there's a lot of good food to be had. And Nice doesn't have a good swimming beach, anyway: It's all pebbles that hurt your feet. The Promenade des Anglais is an absolutely beautiful place to walk. I've been there only in the summer, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't be beautiful in the winter. And I figure that the Vieux Nice is still active, too. Lots of good walking all over Nice.

You might also consider visiting other nearby places like Monaco, Cannes and, depending on your interests, Vence and Saint-Paul de Vence (the walled town is nothing much if you've visited really great walled towns, but the Fondation Maeght is interesting).

Does travel between French Guiana and mainland France require a passport?

Or not? Asked by: 203.96.145.52 14:12, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Yes, as French Guiana is outside the Schengen area you do need a passport. If you happen to have an EEA ID-card you can use it instead of a passport. ϒpsilon (talk) 14:24, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Here is the official answer. It says that, to enter French Guiana, French citizens don't need a passport but need their official identity card; other EU citizens need a passport or their ticket home; and other people need the same documentation they would to enter mainland ("metropolitan") France. Where you're arriving from apparently doesn't matter. It also says that proof of vaccination against yellow fever is required for everyone. --65.94.50.4 17:44, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Transit by road through Kenya

I am planning to travel to Jinja in Uganda from Malawi. I wish to transit through Kenya spending probably max two nights in the process, possibly only one night. We can't get a Carnet for the vehicle in Malawi, it has to be done through AA South Africa and I don't have the time to wait. Min 10 days. The vehicle will have a Temporary Export Permit from Malawi with Police clearance Report etc.It also is a duty free import here and Title Holder is actually Malawi Revenue Authority, so it can't be sold.I will be traveling on Comesa Yellow card third party insurance, which is acceptable through to Uganda. Do I take the chance and drive through to the Kenyan Border and see if they will allow me through or is there anyone I can contact for assistance? Ram nareshji (talk) 09:39, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
