Sources and methodology
Nearby weekend places are sourced exclusively from Wikidata — primary identifier (QID), coordinates (P625), and official website (P856) — together with the linked operator (park authority, municipality, heritage body, or UNESCO official page) where Wikidata’s P856 points at it. Records do not publish fixed itineraries, attraction rankings, restaurant or hotel recommendations, event or festival dates, ticket prices, hotel or flight prices, opening hours, transport schedules, exact travel times, exact distances, weather forecasts, crime rates, or any “best” / “must-see” / “safest” / “cheapest” claims. Verify access, opening times, weather, health, and safety details with the official source linked on each record before departure. Read the scoring methodology for how structured indicators are constructed, and the data sources registry for the official publishers cited across the platform.
