Eat

For restaurant listings and other food-related stuff. Mention any local specialties or oddities. Specific restaurant listings should be in the format below. Listings can be subdivided by price (Budget, Mid-range and Splurge) if there are more than a few. Also, give a general idea of good areas of the destination to try finding a restaurant on your own. Some travellers like (or have) to make their own food – include local food-shopping options if possible.

• Name of Restaurant, Address (extra directions if necessary), ☏ phone numberFORMATNOCC, fax: faxFORMAT, emailFORMAT. Days and times open. One to three sentences about the food, service, atmosphere, view, specialties, music, what have you. $lowprice-$highprice (if possible to determine). 

Drink

For bars, clubs, and other nightlife. Yes, many people go out to clubs and don't drink; the name of the section is still Drink. Mention any local specialties or oddities, and give a general idea of good areas of the destination to try. Good things to mention: dress code, entrance fees, safety concerns, solo-woman friendly or pick-up bar, good/bad nights).

• Name of Bar, Address (extra directions if necessary), ☏ phone numberFORMATNOCC, fax: faxFORMAT, emailFORMAT. Days and times open. One to three sentences about the drinks, service, atmosphere, view, specialties, music, what have you. $beerprice draft/bottle beers, $wellprice well drinks. 

There is overlap between this section and others, particularly "eat". An English-style pub serves food, as does a "bar and grill". The choice to classify these as restaurants vs. nightlife is often an arbitrary one, but each establishment is normally listed in one section only.

Establishments serving coffee or tea belong in "eat" if you can get a meal there. If they're marketed as nightlife (and not as food) they might fit in "drink", but at that point this section needs to be split into subsections as "English pubs", "blaring discos" and "all-night cafés" are very different in nature.

Winery or brewery tours are also a grey area in that they may qualify as activities ("do"). If an establishment is already listed as something to "do" or somewhere to "eat", don't list it again as nightlife just because there's something to "drink" here.

Sleep

This is for helping the traveller find a place to lay their weary head: hotels, motels, hostels, campgrounds, pensions, etc. Give a general idea of good areas of the destination to try to find lodging. Other good info to include is high/low season, the importance of reservation, things to request (quiet room, view, airport pick up, etc). Listings can be subdivided by price (Budget, Mid-range and Splurge) if there are more than a few.

• Name of Place, Address (extra directions if necessary), ☏ phone numberFORMATNOCC, fax: faxFORMAT, emailFORMAT. Check-in: Check-in time, check-out: Check-out time. One to three sentences about the service, atmosphere, view, rooms, what have you. $lowprice-$highprice. 

Connect

Information on communications – phone, Internet, other. This is where you'd list Internet cafes or computer rental centers for staying in touch by email or on the Web. If there are free or paid wireless Internet hotspots in the district, name them here. Long-distance telephone centers, where travelers can pay to make long-distance telephone calls, would be useful here, too.

• Name of Internet Café, Address (extra directions if necessary), ☏ phone numberFORMATNOCC, fax: faxFORMAT, emailFORMAT. Days and times open. One to three sentences about the computers, connectivity, food or beverages available. $rate per hour. 

Go next

Information about nearby destinations that would serve as a good "next stop." Provide a brief description of other nearby destination suggestions, neighboring cities or day-trip ideas. Don't duplicate information that's up in "Get in."

This is normally a place to list adjacent destinations which have their own articles (for instance, Minneapolis is near Saint Paul and Ottawa is near Gatineau). If a city is on a major highway or rail line, the "go next" section will normally contain a {{routebox}} listing the next stops on the line in each direction.

In rare cases, day trips to adjacent villages too small to have their own page could be accommodated by splitting this section into two, "nearby" and "go next", as:

Nearby

A tiny village

• Listing for the one attraction in a tiny village

Another tiny village

• Individual listing in another tiny village

Go next

• Names of nearby places with their own Wikivoyage articles
• Routeboxes for major rail and road links through the town

It is normally only necessary to do this for sparsely-populated rural areas around small towns. Listings for suburbs of a city go in the main body of that city's article, or in districts of a huge city.
