What is this?

TravelType collects and rates places worth visiting — with editorial descriptions, tags and categories instead of anonymous star averages. We give that data back openly: every place is available through a public JSON API, with no account required.

Built for developers, researchers and AI agents who need reliable, linked place data. Each record carries external identifiers (Wikidata, OpenStreetMap, Google Places), so places can be unambiguously joined against other sources.

The API always returns the current state — no stale dumps. For the full field reference, see the OpenAPI specification.
