What are some cities where touristy areas are located very near sketchy areas? Self-explanatory title but basically, what are some cities where it’s quite easy for an unsuspecting tourist to go from a tourist area and accidentally wander into a sketchy neighbourhood? Based on my experience, the first two cities that come to mind are San Francisco and Barcelona. In SF, it’s very easy for tourists to go from popular places l…

Cars Are The Worst Way To Get Through Cities Cities and cars just don’t get along. Cities are compact, maximally utilizing space for their human residents, while cars aren’t — they take up precious space just sitting parked, and carry few people while moving. We’ve already seen that motorcycles are faster than cars for getting through vehicle-friendly Los Angeles Read more…

Cities (worldwide) with a similar vibe to Tokyo? Last spring my boyfriend and I met up in Tokyo (I was coming off a three week solo trip in Vietnam and he was coming from the US). We spent 10 days there and had a fantastic time. Lots to do, amazing food, lots to see, fairly easy to navigate (once you get used to the fact that there are 5 different privately owned train lines), and it definitel…

The main drawbacks I’ve heard about Ireland are the poor public transit relative to other…

Which two cities in the world require the largest number of flights to travel between in the most direct manor? And how many flights? GAME TIME This is a purely hypothetical “just-for-the-sake-of-it” kind of question, but it’s something that I’ve always wondered. Let’s say you were trying to fly between one obscure small town in some random country and another in a different, far-away country.
