Welcome to the tourist office

The Wikivoyage tourist office is a place where you can ask travel-related questions about any place in the world. Wikivoyage volunteers will do their best to find the relevant information (or just reply off the top of their expert heads) and reply to you.

Before you ask your question here, be sure to search our travel guide for the destination or topic you're considering. Many questions are already answered within our guides! In addition, some of our destinations have docents who have volunteered to answer questions about specific places. If neither of those avenues bear fruit, then please ask away!

This page is for travel-related questions only. Information on how to contribute to Wikivoyage is at Help:Contents, while questions about Wikivoyage itself may be posed at the Pub. Queries regarding general information on non-travel topics may be made at Wikipedia's Reference desk; some topics tangentially related to travel include:

  • the Humanities desk, which deals with geopolitics, culture, and human geography
  • the Science desk, which deals with natural processes, physical geography, and engineering (vehicles, transportation design, etc.)

Please note that we can not guarantee a response and can not be held liable for incorrect or outdated information.

Answered questions will be moved to the Archives after two weeks of inactivity.

Want a faster answer?

How can I get my question answered?

  • Explain clearly what you want to know.
  • Provide a short heading that gives the general topic of the question.
  • Tell us what part of the world your question applies to.
  • Don't post personal contact information – it will be removed. We'll answer here within a few days.
  • Don't post questions that common sense or a search engine can answer in a couple of seconds.

Disclaimer

This is a travel guide that anyone can edit and that relies entirely on volunteer contributions. We do our best, but nothing on this page or elsewhere on the site can be guaranteed to be up-to-date or entirely accurate.

In particular, check with other sources for questions that can have serious consequences:

  • With your doctor for health issues
  • With your own government, or another, for travel advisories that may help you avoid dangerous areas
  • With the government of the destination country for visas and travel restrictions
  • With a lawyer for other legal issues

Nothing on this site should be taken as medical or legal advice.


Lugansk to Norway[edit]

Asked by: Helge Didriksen (talk) 10:26, 7 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, I want to help a person in Lugansk to travel visit Bodø in Norway. How can you help me make the travel possible ?Will you help me ?Can you contact me ,so i can make an order to get a person travel to my city ?

Dearest from Helge

@Helge Didriksen: We don't provide advice by email. I assume the person can get to Russia. The border at Kirkenes was open last I checked. They will need a visa to Norway (unless they are visa exempt) and perhaps some paperwork for Russia. Check with the authorities. –LPfi (talk) 11:10, 7 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]


Scholarship or something for an Algerian student[edit]

I want to know if there are ways for an English Literature student from Algeria to get a scholarship or something that can help me travel to a new country. If it's a fully-funded exchange program or any volunteering program, that would be awesome Asked by: Ishak Djaber (talk) 15:36, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ishak Djaber: You can look at Studying abroad, Volunteer travel, or Au pair for ideas. Some countries have publicly funded grants for foreign students or volunteers (for example, the US has Fulbright grants for students and language teachers). —Granger (talk · contribs) 16:00, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
