Kuala Lumpur listings reconciled with current venue details and location-matched photos

The five original Kuala Lumpur listings and five newer top-30 picks now have place-level descriptions, clear free-versus-paid boundaries and direct visitor sources in the authoring data. The notes reflect DBKL’s updated park hours, Central Market’s daily schedule, the Batu Caves stair route, Thean Hou Temple’s hours and the tower visit’s timed-ticket rules. I also recorded the conflicting official KLCC Park opening times and differing Masjid Jamek visitor windows instead of presenting an unsupported single schedule. Six local photos were replaced and visually checked; each photo credit and license is linked on its outing page. This is a source-data correction and does not add ten new reviews to the manual editorial tally.

Hong Kong listings restored with place-level sources, hours and photos

The ten Hong Kong listings now have location-specific visitor information in the source files that generate the catalog. The guide groups the harbourfront, Central and Kowloon walks sensibly, and treats Dragon’s Back as a separate hike. Updated notes distinguish park grounds from timed indoor facilities and explain the free timed exhibition at Kowloon Walled City Park. Six schedules now use the local time zone. Five location photos were replaced, and the alt text describes what each image actually shows.

Berlin guide adds current access notes and refreshed location photos

Berlin’s guide now separates the central landmarks from parks and memorials spread across the city. The original five places have been rechecked, and five more have their own official visitor sources. The notes cover Tempelhofer Feld’s month-by-month gate hours, Mauerpark’s current renewal work, East Side Gallery visitor-centre hours, the Memorial Information Centre’s schedule, and the planned 2027 Pergamonmuseum and Reichstag dome changes. I replaced weak photos of the Gate, Mauerpark and Tiergarten and rewrote the image descriptions to match each frame.

Barcelona guide adds five researched walks and refreshed photos

Barcelona now has place-specific guidance for five newer stops, from the street views around the Sagrada Família to Plaça del Rei’s separate ticketed museum rooms. The route groups the Gothic Quarter and Eixample separately from the coast and uphill Montjuïc. The city’s current name for the Montjuïc garden is Jardins de Jacint Verdaguer; older maps may still use Mossèn Cinto Verdaguer. I also replaced weak beach and avenue photos with pictures from the actual locations, and checked the alt text across all ten Barcelona listings.

Bangkok guide adds five researched places and refreshed photos

The Bangkok guide now has useful visit notes for five more free stops, from the changing trade at Pak Khlong Talat to galleries at the Art and Culture Centre. I added the published BACC and Benchasiri Park hours, clarified where reliable daily hours are not listed, and grouped the route by district. The BACC photo now shows the building's exterior, and the ten Bangkok images have descriptive alt text and concise photographer credits.

Las Vegas guides get clearer routes, current venue details and corrected photos

Rechecked all ten Las Vegas outings against venue operators, Visit Las Vegas, Travel Nevada, the City of Las Vegas and the 18b Arts District. The route now separates the Strip, Fremont Street, 18b and the desert installation south of town; Seven Magic Mountains needs a separate ride and has no public transit. The pages have listing-specific sources, current free-versus-paid details, visitor rules and published schedules. Bellagio’s fountain timetable and seasonal-garden dates are stated with their change caveats. I checked every photo, replaced an empty-desert image used for Seven Magic Mountains and upgraded the Fremont and LINQ views; all ten image descriptions now match their frames. The reviewed total is 395 of 510 listings. This local update has not been deployed.

Dubai guides now separate the city's districts and current visitor details

Rechecked all ten Dubai outings against Visit Dubai and Alserkal Avenue. The city guide now groups the Creek, Downtown, Marina/JBR, Al Quoz and Creek Harbour as separate trips; each listing has its own official source, clearer free-versus-paid notes and practical access advice. The Fountain page reflects the current show timetable and its planned 2026 upgrade, and Alserkal's general hours are distinguished from each gallery's schedule. I inspected all ten photos, replaced four weak or mismatched images, and updated the image descriptions. Dubai brings the documented source-led review total to 385 of 510 listings. This is a local editorial update and has not been deployed.

Venice guides reflect the 2027 access-fee calendar and Rialto works

Rechecked Venice’s ten outings against Venezia Unica, the City of Venice, AVM/Actv and the Jewish Museum. The city route now separates central walks from Dorsoduro, Cannaregio and the two island trips. The access-fee notice now reflects the published 2027 dates and the City’s 31 December deadline for the remaining arrangements. Rialto’s listing warns that stalls are being reorganized during refurbishment. The Biennale-gardens entry has been replaced with Sant’Elena’s free municipal pinewood; all ten photos now have inspected, location-specific images and frame-matched alt text. The Jewish Museum’s published hours are shown only through 15 November 2026.

Orlando guides get clearer routes, current rules and place-matched photos

Rechecked ten Orlando-area outings against city and venue sources. The guide now distinguishes downtown from International Drive, Disney Springs, Winter Park, Lake Baldwin and Celebration instead of suggesting they form one walk. Lake Eola's page adds the City's 0.9-mile paved loop and current park hours; Disney Springs notes complimentary standard parking; Universal CityWalk links its date-specific hours and age rules; and Park Avenue reflects the October 2026 completion of Phase I. I replaced five weak or incorrect photos and checked the alt text on all ten Orlando listings.

Valencia guides separate three different outing areas

Rechecked all five Valencia listings against València City Council, Cultural València and City of Arts and Sciences visitor sources. The destination guide now separates the Old Town, Turia Gardens and City of Arts and Sciences, and Malvarrosa beach into distinct legs. The listings explain the market hall's free Monday–Saturday visit and published hours, the Turia Gardens' weather-alert closures, ticketed indoor attractions at the Arts and Sciences, the Turia fountain's meaning in Plaça de la Mare de Déu, and the end of the beach's 2026 lifeguard season. I replaced a dark sea-only image with a 2024 photograph of the actual palm-lined Malvarrosa promenade and updated all five photo descriptions.

Chicago guides add current trail and conservatory details

Rechecked five Chicago outings against City of Chicago and Chicago Park District visitor pages. The route now pairs Millennium Park, the Cultural Center and Riverwalk downtown, with the Lakefront Trail and Lincoln Park Conservatory as a separate north-side visit. Millennium Park's page records current walkway and restroom works; the Cultural Center's page gives regular hours, holiday closures and early exhibition closing; the trail page distinguishes the 18.5-mile pedestrian route from the 18-mile bike route and posts repairs moving north from the south end. The Conservatory is free but requires a timed reservation, and the Park District lists Wednesday–Sunday hours. The City describes the free Riverwalk as a 1.25-mile route divided into four districts. All five Commons photos were checked against the named location and now have alt text describing the frame.

Vienna guides now separate the central walk from the Prater and Schönbrunn

Rechecked the five Vienna listings against Schönbrunn Palace, Prater Wien, the City of Vienna, St Stephen's Cathedral and the Vienna Tourist Board. The city route now groups Stephansplatz, Stadtpark and the Ringstrasse around the centre, with Schönbrunn and the Prater as separate transit trips. Schönbrunn has the operator's monthly park closing times, the fountain winter shutdown and a clearer split between the free grounds and ticketed attractions. The Prater page adds the 4.5 km Hauptallee, its trees and the distinct attraction season. Stadtpark now uses the City's area and history, and notes that no regular gate hours are published. Stephansplatz separates free exterior viewing from cathedral sightseeing hours, tickets and tower access. The Ringstrasse entry now gives the 5.3 km route length and the visitor board's two-hour estimate. I reviewed all five local images, replaced the Palm House close-up with a Gloriette-and-garden view and changed the low-detail traffic photo to a view between City Hall and the Burgtheater; alt text now describes each frame.

Vancouver pages map the November seawall detour and clearer park routes

Rechecked the five Vancouver outings against the City and Granville Island's operator. Stanley Park now has its posted general hours, a realistic scale note, trail landmarks and the active seawall works: as checked on 1 November, the Lumberman's Arch–Third Beach stretch is scheduled closed through 14 November, with intermittent closures possible through 20 November. The City says the signed trail detour has rough ground and steep grades and links to its accessibility maps. The seawall page separates the 9 km Stanley Park loop from the wider 28 km Seaside Greenway and explains the marked walking and cycling lanes. Queen Elizabeth Park now distinguishes its free gardens and 0.41 km marked accessible route from the separately paid conservatory, pitch-and-putt and parking. Granville Island's public district is separate from food, purchases, ferries and ticketed performances; its operator currently posts 09:00–18:00 for the Public Market and a Monday maintenance closure in January. Coal Harbour is described as one manageable stretch of the larger path. I replaced a close-up Nine O'Clock Gun plaque photo used for the entire park with a wooded park scene, then wrote alt text for each of the five actual images.

Valletta guides separate public gardens from paid harbour sights

Rechecked the five Valletta pages against Ambjent Malta, Heritage Malta, Transport Malta, Fondazzjoni Wirt Artna, the Valletta Waterfront operator and the Grand Harbour Regeneration Corporation. The walking route now starts at City Gate and St George's Square, continues to Upper Barrakka, then marks Lower Barrakka and the waterfront as a steep descent. Upper Barrakka is described as a public garden; admission and firing times belong to the separate paid Saluting Battery. The guide links to the lift operator's current fare and service information. Lower Barrakka's standard gate hours and the Siege Bell restoration's reopening date are not published by the cited authorities, so the page asks visitors to check notices rather than promising access. The waterfront note gives the operator's 275-metre promenade and 1752 Pinto Stores context. St George's Square is separated from the Palace's paid interior and dated closure notices. I reviewed five Commons photos and replaced two weaker frames with views that better match the named garden and square.

Rio guides clarify beach access, Sunday traffic closures and Parque Lage

Rechecked Copacabana, Aterro do Flamengo, Parque Lage, Selarón Steps and Arpoador against Riotur, the Parque Lage operator and Rio's environmental agency. The route now distinguishes the southern beaches from the central waterfront and the uphill park. Riotur's Sunday 07:00–18:00 closure is described as a closure of traffic lanes along the waterfront, not an opening-hours rule for the beaches. Parque Lage's grounds are free and its operator publishes 08:00–18:00 hours; the mansion remains temporarily closed for restoration. Beach pages point visitors to INEA's weekly water-quality bulletins and its rain and storm-drain guidance. I replaced the Copacabana kiosk and Arpoador sunset photos with licensed images of the named promenade and rocky point, then updated all five photo descriptions.

Porto guides now separate the old-centre walk from the Atlantic coast

Rechecked Ribeira, Dom Luís I Bridge, Crystal Palace Gardens, São Bento and Foz against Visit Porto, Porto City Council, CP and Portugal's marine-weather service. The city route now explains that the old-centre stops are close but hilly, the gardens sit uphill, and Foz is a separate trip west. The pages now identify Ribeira's fountain and Cube, the bridge's Metro-carrying upper deck, the gardens' seasonal hours and the station's daily hours. Foz's note distinguishes the free public waterfront from the paid tram, rentals, beach services and €2 beacon visit. I checked all five local photos and rewrote their alt text to describe the exact frame shown.

New Orleans pages reflect the connected riverfront opened in 2026

Rechecked the five New Orleans listings against the city park operator, New Orleans & Company, the National Park Service, City Parks and Parkways, and Audubon Nature Institute. The city guide now separates a compact French Quarter and riverfront walk from City Park, which is a separate trip. Crescent Park has its current visitor-guide route, daily hours and a careful note about the single published elevator approach; its old operator link now redirects away from the park. City Park’s page names its free grounds and ticketed extras, flags the mismatch between two official general-hours pages, and points out the dated closures that visitors should recheck. Jackson Square now has the City’s seasonal hours and boundaries. The riverfront entry reflects the April 2026 opening of the Governor Nicholls Wharf phase and its new playground, shade and seating, while keeping Audubon’s hours distinct from the full promenade route. I checked all five image frames and added specific alternative text that persists when the photo data is regenerated.

Medellín guides now separate five stops across the city

Rechecked Plaza Botero, Parque de los Deseos, Pies Descalzos, Parques del Río and Pueblito Paisa against the official city tourism guide and Medellín Mayor’s Office. The city introduction now makes the separate districts and Metro approaches clear. Plaza Botero’s guide names 23 Botero sculptures and the nearby Parque Berrío station; its page also flags the May 2026 surface-renewal notice because the city has not confirmed that work is complete. Pies Descalzos now explains its eight sensory areas and the difference between published activity hours and a verified gate schedule. Parques del Río records its east–west bridges and the city’s active maintenance project without guessing which sections are open. Pueblito Paisa shows the city guide’s daily hilltop hours and the uphill approach. I checked all five local images and rewrote the alternative text to describe the subject shown. For the river park, I replaced a seasonal Christmas-lights frame with a daytime riverside-path photograph from October 2023 under CC BY-SA 4.0.

Dubrovnik routes reflect Gradac Park’s September reopening

Reviewed the five Dubrovnik guides against the Tourist Board, the city, the City Walls operator, the County Public Health Institute and Banje’s operator. The route now distinguishes the central Stradun–Old Port walk from the uphill park and the beach beyond Ploče Gate. Gradac reopened after its first full restoration in September 2026, with renewed paths and viewpoints and an accessible public toilet; the guide does not claim every hillside path is step-free. Banje’s public shoreline is separated from paid loungers and services, with the operator’s current prices recorded and a clear reminder that the 2026 bathing-water testing season has ended. The City Walls entry separates the free gate exterior from ticketed wall access and explains the operator’s seasonal hours and limited accessibility. I inspected the five local photographs and rewrote their alt text to describe the actual Old Town lane, harbour, beach, waterfront path and gate shown.

Copenhagen guides now separate the harbour walk from two out-of-centre trips

Reviewed Nyhavn, King's Garden, Superkilen, Amager Strandpark and Kastellet/Langelinie against city, park, tourism and military sources. The city guide now keeps Nyhavn, King's Garden and the fortress-and-harbour walk together, while treating Superkilen in Nørrebro and Amager Strandpark as separate trips. King's Garden now has date-aware seasonal gate hours from its managing agency; the visitor note flags the one-hour January–February discrepancy on a Parkmuseerne English page. Amager's page spells out seasonal toilet hours, the current published lifeguard dates, accessible beach-station facilities and the need to check the daily bathing-water notice. I inspected all five photos, updated each alt description to match what is shown, and replaced the weak Amager bridge shot with a sharper, location-specific beach photograph of kitesurfing at the park.

Cairo pages now separate five neighbourhood visits and show what is free

Reviewed the five Cairo listings against Cairo Governorate, Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, and the official Egypt tourism portal. The city guide now makes clear that Garden City and Tahrir are central stops, while Khan el-Khalili, Coptic Cairo and Zamalek each need their own route. The pages distinguish public lanes and sidewalks from paid interiors, shops, boat trips and hotel spaces. The Hanging Church schedule now reflects the Ministry’s daily 09:00–16:00 listing, while its admission price remains unconfirmed. I replaced the Garden City photo with a location-specific Nile view of the Four Seasons hotel and checked all five Cairo image descriptions against the files actually shown.

Budapest guides now explain which stops fit together and what is actually free

Reviewed all five Budapest listings against Budapest Info, the Buda Castle visitor operator and BKV. The route now keeps Fisherman’s Bastion and the Castle District together, pairs Heroes’ Square with City Park, and treats Margaret Island and the Kossuth Square riverfront as separate stops. The Bastion page distinguishes free, 24-hour lower balconies from seasonal paid upper turrets. The Castle District notes explain cobbles and the city’s accessible Tabán approach; Margaret Island describes its seasonal fountain and, as of 1 November, BKV’s temporary suspension of the Centenary Monument ferry stop due to low river levels. I also checked the five actual local photos and rewrote their alt text to identify the stone turret, museum courtyard, Andrew II statue, ferry landing and Parliament-side square shown.

Brussels pages now distinguish the central walk from a Cinquantenaire visit

Reviewed the five Brussels listings against Visit Brussels, UNESCO and the Galeries Royales operator. The city guide now groups Grand-Place, the Saint-Hubert galleries, Mont des Arts and Brussels Park into a central walk, and leaves Cinquantenaire as a separate eastern outing. The pages explain the paid museum and arch-viewpoint boundaries, note that event setups can change public routes, and no longer imply daily hours where the official visitor pages publish none. Mont des Arts now records the single approach identified for disabled access, with a prompt to confirm route conditions. I inspected the five local photos and wrote alt text for the café façades, Cinquantenaire arch, garden terraces, Apollo statue and galleries entrance actually shown.

Bogotá guides now separate the old-centre walk from the park day

The old-centre pages now explain the route between Parque de los Periodistas, La Candelaria, Chorro de Quevedo and Plaza de Bolívar; Simón Bolívar Park is set apart as another outing, with its 05:00–18:00 gate hours, lake and jogging route. The Chorro page now describes the debated founding story accurately instead of stating it as settled fact. I inspected all five local photographs and rewrote their alt text to identify the plaza panorama, park bust, Calle del Divorcio sign, Chorro fountain and Templete del Libertador actually shown.

Reviewed all ten Florence listings against Feel Florence, the Opera del Duomo and the Abbey of San Miniato. The city guide now groups the central squares separately from Santa Croce and the Oltrarno, and treats the Rose Garden, Piazzale Michelangelo and San Miniato as an uphill leg. The pages distinguish public squares and bridge crossings from paid interiors, and correct the Duomo note: the Cathedral interior is free at its published hours, while the other monuments are ticketed. The Rose Garden now shows its official November–December 2026 hours and partial-access note; San Miniato's date checker handles its split morning and afternoon opening sessions. I inspected all ten photographs and changed each alt description to match the visible statue, façade, bridge, garden, square or street.

Bangkok guides now include current park hours and clearer neighbourhood routes

Reviewed five Bangkok outings against the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s Greener Bangkok park pages and the Tourism Authority of Thailand. Lumphini, Benjakitti and Chatuchak now have the city-listed hours and specific cycling or park rules; Sanam Luang has its daily hours and a note that ceremonies can change access. Yaowarat now has the Tourism Authority’s listed daily hours, a nearby MRT stop and a clearer account of the busy, traffic-filled street route. The city introduction separates the central parks from Chinatown and the old-city grounds instead of presenting them as one walk. I checked all five local photographs and updated the alt text for the lake and skyline, wetland boardwalk, park bridge, Chinatown street and Grand Palace view.

Stockholm walks now come with clearer routes and footing notes

Reviewed five Stockholm listings against Visit Stockholm and City of Stockholm sources. Gamla Stan now points out the narrow cobbled lanes and separates the public streets from ticketed interiors. Djurgården is described as a large park island rather than one short loop; Kungsträdgården includes its year-round public access, blossom crowds and free, weather-dependent winter rink. Monteliusvägen now has its published 500-metre length, skyline and uneven surface/stair details. Strandvägen is described as a planted boulevard with pedestrian, cycle and tram movement, and the page distinguishes the walk from paid transport and attractions. The sources do not establish fixed daily hours for these routes, so none have been invented. I visually checked all five photographs and updated the alt text for the cobbled lane, wooded clearing, chess game, City Hall view and tram shown.

Seville listings now distinguish free public routes from paid experiences

Rechecked all five Seville outings against Visit Sevilla and the Setas operator. The pages now explain the plaza-and-park pairing, the separate Triana river walk and the northern old-centre stops. Plaza de España has the current daily 08:00–midnight listing; María Luisa Park's official page gives winter and summer hours but no changeover dates, so its schedule is described without guessing dates. Calle Betis is listed as public space open 24 hours. The Setas listing covers the free ground-level square and separates it from the ticketed rooftop experience (currently from €16). Alameda de Hércules has no fixed daily hours on the visitor page, so we leave that schedule open rather than inventing one. I checked all five actual photo files and rewrote their alt text to match the visible subject.

Santiago pages now separate the central walk from the hillside parks

Checked five Santiago listings against Chile Travel, the municipalities of Santiago and Vitacura, and Parquemet information. The city introduction now groups Plaza de Armas, Santa Lucía Hill and Parque Forestal separately from the uphill Metropolitan Park and the farther-northeast Vitacura park. The pages clarify free public grounds versus paid lifts and facilities, describe the latest Santa Lucía path restoration, and add actual ramped entrance details at Parque Bicentenario without implying that every path is step-free. I added Parquemet's date-bounded summer gate hours; for Santa Lucía and Bicentenario, current sources do not establish a dependable daily schedule, so the pages say to check local notices. All five local photos were checked and their alt text now describes the specific view shown.

San Francisco waterfront and park guides now spell out the details

Rechecked five San Francisco outings against city, National Park Service and Presidio sources. The pages now distinguish free public parkland from paid gardens, parking and attractions; explain why Lands End's published hours conflict; and give the route-specific access details for Crissy Field. Golden Gate Park and the Palace of Fine Arts show the City’s posted hours, while Tunnel Tops notes current Main Post construction through winter 2027. I also reviewed all five photos against their locations and rewrote their alt text to describe the actual view.

Prague guides now separate the free walks from ticketed sights

Rechecked five Prague listings against Prague City Tourism and Prague Castle Administration. The pages now explain what visitors can see without a ticket, where towers or interiors are paid, and what their photos actually show. The Castle page has the complex’s published 06:00–22:00 hours with a one-year date range; its individual buildings and gardens keep their own schedules. I also added practical notes about the bridge’s cobbles, Letná’s hillside and Vyšehrad’s published access information.

Nice guides now include current market and park schedules

Reviewed all five Nice outings against the City of Nice and Nice Côte d’Azur Tourist Office. Updated the route note, free-entry boundaries and practical details; the date checker now reflects Castle Hill’s published seasonal gate hours and the Paillon park’s winter and summer hours. Cours Saleya’s 2026 produce-market and Monday antiques-market hours are shown with their year, rather than being carried forward as an undated schedule. The Castle Hill page no longer promises a free lift that the current source did not confirm. All five photos were reviewed; the Masséna image now shows the square as it looks today, and the Castle Hill panorama has been upgraded.

Nairobi guides now separate the CBD walk from park trips and flag uncertain access

Reviewed five Nairobi outings against Nairobi City County, the national tourism service, Visit Nairobi, National Museums of Kenya, JICA and UN-Habitat. The pages now distinguish a compact central walk from the trips to Uhuru Park and City Park. County information confirms free public entry at Uhuru Park, while the latest Jeevanjee Gardens tracker reports its revitalization delayed and 52% complete. Current official pages do not publish dependable daily hours or admission terms for Jeevanjee, City Park or City Market, so those listings say to confirm access. I reviewed all five location photographs and replaced generic alt text with descriptions of the actual visible subjects.

Mumbai guides now separate the shore walks and flag uncertain entry details

Reviewed five Mumbai listings against Maharashtra Tourism, Incredible India, Mumbai City District, BMC and UNESCO sources. The city introduction now groups South Mumbai, Malabar Hill, Bandra and Juhu as separate outings. Bandra Fort carries the Ministry of Tourism’s current 06:00–18:30 hours; Hanging Gardens explains the disagreement between its venue page and BMC’s general garden-hours FAQ. The Gateway page says “Check entry” because the current official city page and a government itinerary do not agree on whether a visitor fee applies. Juhu is described as a sunset walk, not as a swimming-safety recommendation. I checked each photo and rewrote its alt text to describe the actual frame.

Marrakech listings now flag Menara Gardens’ conflicting entry information

Rechecked five Marrakech guides against city, national tourism, environmental foundation and UNESCO sources. The pages now distinguish free public streets and gardens from paid interiors and visitor services, and the city introduction separates a central medina walk from the trip out to Menara. Current sources disagree about Menara’s fee boundary and hours, so that page now says “Check entry” and tells visitors what needs confirming. I also reviewed all five photographs and rewrote their alt descriptions to match what is visible in each image.

Málaga pages now include verified hours, access notes and a clearer beach photo

Rechecked all five Málaga listings against city and venue sources. Atarazanas now carries the council’s Monday–Saturday trading hours and its current mobility-access note; the park page describes its 3.3-hectare planting; and the port walk separates the free all-day promenade from shop and restaurant hours. The beach page uses the council’s published dimensions and points swimmers to current sea-safety notices. Plaza de la Merced now distinguishes its free public space from the Picasso birthplace museum, with the current ticket price and Sunday free window. I checked each image against the place shown and replaced the dark beach photo with a higher-resolution view of La Malagueta.

Lima guides now distinguish the coast, Barranco and the historic centre

Reviewed five Lima listings against Peru Travel, the Miraflores and Barranco municipalities, Visita Lima and UNESCO. The pages now separate a clifftop Malecón walk from the lower beach route, describe the connected Kennedy and 7 de Junio parks, and give Barranco's civic park and Bridge of Sighs their own practical context. The Malecón note is precise about the documented ramps on the Cisneros section; the ravine walk is marked as not step-free. Plaza Mayor's entry conditions now separate the free public square from buildings with their own access rules. All five locally served photographs were checked against their locations, and the bridge image was replaced with a clearer licensed view of the actual crossing.

Kraków pages now explain the walk between the square, park and river

Rechecked the five Kraków listings against the city, municipal parks authority, Wawel Castle and regional tourism sources. The pages now give the Main Square's 1257 layout, Planty's eight garden sections and four-kilometre loop, Wawel Hill's seasonal dusk closing, the route landmarks in Kazimierz and the Vistula Boulevards' flood-control history. Kazimierz's old Jewish quarter is clearly distinguished from the Second World War ghetto in Podgórze. I also replaced a church-interior image with a licensed photograph of Szeroka Street, the district named on the page.

Johannesburg pages now separate free streets from paid attractions

Reviewed all five Johannesburg listings against the park manager, city and tourism sources, the Nelson Mandela Square operator, the Johannesburg Development Agency and visitor-safety guidance. Rewrote the listings and city route note, corrected Maboneng's category, and checked all five photographs against the places shown. Constitution Hill is a paid heritage visit, so it has been removed from the free-outing list and its old URL now points to the no-ticket pedestrian crossing over Nelson Mandela Bridge. JCPZ's current garden tariff page does not say whether its listed garden charge applies to Johannesburg Botanical Garden, so that page now asks visitors to confirm the cost before setting out.

Delhi pages now explain the route, access and worship etiquette

The pages now distinguish public lawns from indoor or paid attractions, explain why Chandni Chowk's shop hours are not guaranteed opening hours, and flag the different times still shown by the Lotus Temple operator and Delhi Tourism. I also checked each photo against its location and replaced the generic image descriptions with alt text for the actual scene.

Casablanca listings now use current park guidance and location-matched photos

Reviewed all five Casablanca pages against the city's tourism guide and Casablanca Baïa, the municipal manager of major parks and public spaces. The Arab League Park page now explains free entry and its separate winter and summer hours. The central listings identify the Art Deco landmarks and the Old Medina route more clearly. We removed the Hassan II Mosque esplanade from the free-outing catalog because current access information conflicts: the tourism page still calls it free outside prayer times, while a later report quoting the Foundation says courtyard visits are paid outside prayer. Place des Nations Unies now fills that slot, and the old address redirects to it. We also replaced photos that showed the wrong square or an archival park scene.

Buenos Aires park and waterfront pages now spell out the access details

Checked five Buenos Aires pages against the City’s environment and visitor information. Costanera Sur now shows its seasonal gate hours and weather closures; El Rosedal has its own opening schedule, holiday exceptions and last-entry time. The Palermo guide separates the much larger public park from the gated rose garden, while the historic-centre and Puerto Madero pages distinguish free walks from museum and boat visits. All five local photographs now have descriptions that match what is actually shown.

Brisbane listings now separate the public park from the timed attractions

Reviewed five Brisbane places against Visit Brisbane, Brisbane City Council and venue-operator information. The pages now distinguish South Bank’s public parkland from the seasonal swimming areas, Roma Street’s all-day grounds from garden sections that close at dusk, and Kangaroo Point’s upper lawns from its lower river path. QAGOMA’s free general galleries are separated from ticketed events, and the City Botanic Gardens page includes its free volunteer walks.

Rechecked all five Auckland listings against council, venue and destination sources. The pages now distinguish Cornwall Park from the separately managed One Tree Hill Domain, explain the December parking change, link to live Mission Bay swim conditions and separate the Art Gallery's free general collection from ticketed exhibitions. Date-selectable hours are available for the Wintergardens, Silo Park and the gallery.

Istanbul visits now separate each shore and the free walk from paid stops

Rechecked all ten Istanbul pages against Türkiye’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism, GoTürkiye, Visit Istanbul, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, the Spice Bazaar association and the ferry operator. Rewrote the descriptions and free-versus-paid notes, added the current weekly opening schedule for both bazaars, and changed the city introduction to group the old city, Golden Horn, Beyoğlu and Üsküdar into practical separate routes. The municipality does not publish reliable gate hours for every park and square, so those pages now say when the hours are unknown instead of guessing.

The schedule notes distinguish the free street at Taipei 101 from paid observatory hours, and the outdoor Bopiliao block from its shorter indoor schedule. Consolidated duplicate pages for Xiangshan and Longshan Temple, kept their old URLs pointed to the canonical listings, and added distinct pages for Huashan 1914 Creative Park and Dihua Street.

El Retiro and Debod now show date-selectable seasonal schedules; their pages also explain weather closures, Debod's free but reservation-recommended interior and the Crystal Palace restoration. Current costs are separated from the free walks, including the €6/€8 Retiro boat rental and the Madrid Río BMX fee.

Lisbon listings now separate the free walk from paid visits

Reviewed five Lisbon places against Turismo de Lisboa and Lisbon City Council information. The Praça do Comércio page now separates the free square from the €5 Arco da Rua Augusta ticket. Alfama's steep cobbles and the landmarks visible from Santa Luzia and Senhora do Monte are called out, and city-listed 24-hour access is shown for Santa Luzia and Parque Eduardo VII. The city-source links and the two park schedules are dated to this review.
