How we check
Our method- Every listing cites its sources
Official websites, tourist offices and press, listed at the bottom of each page with the date we consulted them.
- Dates are checked, and dated
Each listing shows when its facts were last checked. Until a source confirms the dates of an edition, we say so.
- Practical advice first
When to go, how to get there, what to taste and what to book ahead.
