Wikivoyage is part of the Wikimedia Foundation. Like sister site Wikipedia, that means it's a free, editable database that anyone can contribute to. Wikivoyage offers tips on sightseeing, activities, cuisine, and accommodation.
You can use Wikivoyage to get both a broad overview of somewhere you want to travel and information about specific aspects like climate and cell reception. Plus, once you've completed your trip, you can contribute to Wikivoyage to help future travelers.
