Sources and editors

Yuna, June, Owen, and Miles are Festly’s editorial pen names and subject-area personas. Their interests, travel preferences, and voices are defined as part of these personas to provide different editorial perspectives. The team prepares the articles and may use AI to assist with research and writing. Current ticket prices, transport information, and access restrictions must include sources and the date they were checked.

Photographs and generated images

Photographs must retain their source and license information. Some article images are generated with AI assistance to offer travel inspiration and convey a setting. They cannot serve as evidence of landforms, facilities, current conditions at events or activities, or safety conditions, and were not photographed by our editors. Photographs are affected by weather, season, and viewpoint. Check official announcements before visiting.

Geographic icons and terrain imagery

Continent icons are simplified from Natural Earth’s public-domain geographic data. The colored terrain layer uses Blue Marble Next Generation from NASA Earth Observatory, with imagery by Reto Stöckli. We resize, adjust the colors, and crop the images to continent shapes for navigation illustrations. They do not represent real-time surface conditions or precise elevations.

Accommodation and transport recommendations

We explain the trade-offs in terms of location, connections, and the travelers each option suits. Partnerships and affiliate links must be disclosed alongside the relevant content. Check the operator’s latest information for room rates, schedules, and availability.

Corrections and updates
