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Please note that we can not guarantee a response and can not be held liable for incorrect or outdated information.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.


What are some must-visit places in Dallas for a first-time traveler, and what is the best way to get around the city?

[edit]

I'm planning a trip to Dallas soon and would love some recommendations on the top attractions, restaurants, and hidden gems to explore. Also, what are the most efficient ways to navigate the city? Are public transportation options reliable, or would renting a car be a better option? I've heard that getting around Dallas is easier with a private vehicle, so I’m considering an affordable limo service in Dallas that provides both comfort and convenience. Would love to hear your experiences and tips! —The preceding comment was added by Alex shafi (talkcontribs)

Welcome, Alex! Have you looked at our Dallas guide and the district guides linked in the Dallas#Districts section? Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:08, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
At this time of year, the Texas State Fair is just getting ready to start, so you might want to check it out. The most iconic place in Dallas is the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. It's the place where Lee Harvey Oswald fired the shots that killed President John F. Kennedy. If you're into history, you might also want to visit the George Bush Presidential Library. If you're into sports, you could try getting a ticket for the Dallas Cowboys, but you'll have better luck getting a ticket for the Texas Rangers. Dallas is a sprawl and a car is handy, but getting around in Dallas can be a nightmare and even locals often rely on GPS to guide them through the spaghetti-like maze of highways (many with tolls that out-of-towners find frustrating because toll roads often don't take cash and non-locals don't have transponders). The DART system has quiet, clean trains but the route map is not as extensive as many visitors would like (but it's a good option for getting between Dallas and Fort Worth).

I would go to JFK shooting scene, on spot where Abraham Zapruder made movie clip and make a photo. --PetarM (talk) 09:31, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disneyland England

[edit]

Will there be a new Disneyland in England? Asked by: 86.130.9.101 20:35, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it. Should be called "UK Disneyland" or maybe Disneyland UK. —Justin (koavf)TCM 20:37, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Justin, the links you gave relate to a park which was meant to rival Disneyland, but run by another company. "Despite being dubbed Disneyland UK, it's is actually not affiliated with Disney." However the London Resort ran into planning objections, including Natural England designating the site as a SSSI. The land was put up for sale a few months ago, so the idea appears to be dead.
