Going on a [[Safaris|safari]] is a common way to see it. Most of Africa is part of the '''Afrotropical realm''', together with the southern Arabian peninsula and a small part of Iran. [[North Africa]] is part of the '''Palearctic realm''', and contains [[Eurasian wildlife]]. The wildlife of the island country of [[Madagascar]] differs a lot from the mainland. [[File:Ecozone Afrotropic.svg|300px|thumb|The Afrotropical realm, marked in blue]] Many safari visitors are keen on seeing the '''Big Five''' — buffalo, [[elephants|elephant]], leopard, lion and rhino — but there is a lot more out there if you know where to look. {| style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto; text-align:center;" | '''Major wildlife regions'''<br>[[North American wildlife|North America]] • [[Central and South American wildlife|Central & South America]] • [[African wildlife|Africa]] • [[Eurasian wildlife|Eurasia]] • [[Wildlife in South and Southeast Asia|South & Southeast Asia]] • [[Australasian wildlife|Australasia]] • [[Wildlife of the Southern Ocean|Southern Ocean]] |} ==Mammals== ===Primates=== Africa is home to an extremely wide variety of primates, including all the extant great apes except the orangutan. Modern humans are also believed by most scientists to trace their origins to Africa. ====Baboon==== [[Image:ChacmaBaboon Walking.JPG|thumb|240px|Chacma baboon]] ''Papio ursinus'', also known as the '''common baboon''', lives in social groups guided by a dominant male. Newborn baboons are black and are carried around by their mothers. Later, they ride on the back of their mother and after three to four months they change color to the adult brown-grey. <br clear="all"> ====Gorilla==== Gorillas are divided into two species: eastern (''Gorilla beringei'') and western (''Gorilla gorilla''). Both are endangered, and both are only found (in the wild) in poor African countries. The most practical way of seeing gorillas in the wild is through organized tours in [[Rwanda]] or [[Uganda]]. To see western gorillas, the [[Republic of the Congo]] appears to be the best option. Outside of these organized tours/treks, not only do you have to get very lucky to see a gorilla, but you may have to deal with dangers both natural and human. See the following [http://www.wanderlust.co.uk/planatrip/inspire-me/lists/10-of-the-best-places-to-see-gorillas overview] of tour options. Gorillas can be found in zoos throughout the world. <br clear="all"> ====Vervet monkey==== [[Image:Vervet_monkey_in_the_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Vervet monkey]] ''Cercopithecus aethiops'' is a social monkey that lives close to rivers and feeds on leaves, fruits and insects. Family groups are up to 20 members strong. Newborn vervet monkeys are dependent on their mothers for three months, and from then on they become youngsters. <br clear="all"> ===Carnivores=== Meat-eating mammals are the kings of the bush. ====Cheetah==== [[Image:Cheetah 2003.JPG|thumb|240px|Cheetah]] Cheetahs (''Acinonyx jubatus'') are the fastest hunters in Africa, but you are quite lucky if you can see them very close because they tend to be hidden in the high grass. You don't see them in the dense thickets of South Africa whereas the savanna in Kenya and Tanzania allows for better viewing. Cheetahs usually travel alone or in small groups consisting of the mother and her offspring. They hunt in the cool hours of the day. Cheetahs reach a maximum speed of up to 100 km/h in a short and explosive burst and tackle their prey in a single attack. The preferred prey is Impala, but birds are on the lunch menu as well. <br clear="all"> ====Leopard==== ''Panthera pardus'' are famously elusive hunters that stalk their prey at night. For most visitors, the only chance of spotting one is on night drives, and Zambia's [[South Luangwa National Park]] (which allows night driving) is claimed by some to have the highest density of leopards in all of Africa. <br clear="all"> ====Lion==== [[Image:Lion Walking.JPG|thumb|240px|Lioness walking at dusk]] ''Panthera leo'' are common in the wider part of Africa and can be best seen in Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti and to a lesser extent in South Africa, nevertheless you have to be lucky to see them very close. Lions hunt early in the morning or in the night and during the day they allow themselves to be lazy. To see them in action you have to get up before the crack of dawn or you see them only resting after a big dinner. Their menu consists mainly of bigger mammals and zebras seem to be the favourite if available. Males often do not contribute to the hunting but they demand the "lion's" share and female youngsters have to wait until it is their turn. Lion cubs are dependent on their mothers for up to two years, and they start to hunt when they are about 11 months old. Lions are social cats, living in prides of 3-30 lions consisting of 1-4 males and several females. <br clear="all"> ====Spotted hyena==== [[Image:Hyena_Kruger_National_Park.JPG|thumb|240px|dozy hyena]] ''Crocuta crocuta'' has a bad reputation for no good reason. They are good at hunting and are not dependent on the leftovers from lions. They live in packs of 3-4 animals and can form larger groups as well. The leader of the pack is a female and they hunt often during the night but can be spotted during the daytime as well. They prey on insects, mammals such as zebras and wildebeest and sometimes they bring down a giraffe, or fight off lions from their catch. They tend to explore bins in national parks. Cubs are dependent on their mum's milk for 9-12 months and start to look after themselves within 15 months. <br clear="all"> ====African wild dog==== [[Image:South_Africa-Johannesburg-Lion_Park02.jpg|thumb|240px|African Wild Dogs]] ''Lycaon pictus'' live in packs of 10-15 members. Wild dog sightings are always a big event, so watch out for them because they are considered to be the rarest predator in Africa. Wild dogs are mainly active during the day and they hunt in the early hours or late afternoon. They prey on small mammals, Impalas, Springbok and occasionally buffaloes as well. The packs have hierarchical structures where only the dominant female has pups and the rest help to care for them. The pups are born in a den and they stay there for up to three weeks before they explore their environment. After five weeks the pups start to eat regurgitated meat and after 8-10 weeks they leave the den forever and follow the pack until they are about a year old. At that point, young females will leave their birth packs for new ones, while males will remain in their birth pack for life. Uniquely among the dog family, African wild dogs either lack the copulatory tie, or have a very short one, during mating. <br clear="all"> ====Black Backed Jackal==== [[Image:Southern_Africa-Black_backed_jackal.jpg|thumb|240px|Black Backed Jackal]] ''Canis mesomelas'' can be found throughout [[Southern Africa]]. <br clear="all"> ====Caracal==== [[Image:Africa-Caracal01.jpg|thumb|240px|Caracal at De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Sanctuary]] ''Felis Caracal'' <br clear="all"> ===Antelopes=== Antelopes are among the most common animals seen on safari, but there are numerous species that, to the untrained eye, can be difficult to distinguish. ====Bontebok==== [[Image:RSA_Bontebok.jpg|thumb|240px|A Bontebok in the [[Bontebok National Park]]]] ''Damaliscus pygargus pygargus'' are mainly found in the [[Western Cape]] of [[South Africa]]. They have white, light and dark brownish markings and are easily recognised. They live in herds. However, males leave the herd at a certain age and form in small groups of their own. <br clear="all"> ====Blesbuck==== [[Image:Africa-Blesbuck01.jpg|thumb|240px|Blesbuck at the Lion Park in [[Johannesburg]]]] ''Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi'', closely related to the Bontebok, Blesbuck are mainly found on the highveld region of [[South Africa]]. <br clear="all"> ====Blue Duiker==== [[Image:Southern_Africa-Blue_Duiker01.jpg|thumb|240px|Blue Duiker]] ''Cephalophus monticola'' is a small (''under 40cm shoulder height'') antelope found in forested areas throughout [[Southern Africa | Southern]] and [[Central Africa]] <br clear="all"> ====Blue wildebeest==== [[Image:RSA_Blue_Wildebeest.jpg|thumb|240px|Two Blue Wildebeest in high grass.]] Blue wildebeest (''Connochaetes taurinus'') are large antelopes that form small groups and are seasonal breeders. Offspring arrive from November to February and are born within the herd. Calves may be defended fiercely against any attacker. <br clear="all"> ====Impala==== [[Image:Impala Pair Drinking.JPG|thumb|240px|Male and female impala drinking at a waterhole]] ''Aepyceros melampus'' live in big herds and newborn lambs join the herd after 1-2 days. They are excellent sprinters and can outrun many predators. Males have impressive horns which are mainly used for fights over females rather than as a defence weapon. The impala can be distinguished from other antelopes by its distinctive backside, marked with white and black stripes that resemble the McDonald's logo. Impala are hunted by lions and leopards, although in reality they are hard to catch, because the whole herd will jump and run around, totally confusing the hunting animal. <br clear="all"> ====Kudu==== [[Image:Kudo_Kruger_National_Park.JPG|thumb|240px|Kudu during the hot daytime]] ''Tragelaphus strepsiceros'' is a big antelope and is very common in the [[Kruger National Park]]. Calves are born outside of the herd and are kept in a secret location for 1-2 weeks before they join the herd. They are loved in the national park but farmers hate them because a 2 meter high fence does not stop them from entering farm premises and eating the crops. <br clear="all"> ====Puku==== [[File:Kobus vardonii (male portrait).jpg|thumb|240px|Male Puku near South Luangwa National Park, Zambia]] ''Kobus vardonii'' are common in [[Zambia]], but not common elsewhere. Usually found in small herds of about half a dozen, puku have large lyre-shaped horns, reddish-brown fur and lack the backside markings of impala and waterbucks. <br clear="all"> ====Red Hartebeest==== [[Image:Africa-Red_Hartebeest01.jpg|thumb|240px|Red Hartebeest in the [[Krugersdorp]] Game Reserve]] ''Alcelphus buselaphus'' can be found in [[Botswana]], [[Namibia]] and [[South Africa]] <br clear="all"> ====Springbok==== [[image:Antidorcas marsupialis 2.jpg|thumb|240px|Springbok]] ''Antidorcas marsupialis'' Often mistaken for Impalas, because they look like a small Impala. However their colour is different and they prefer living in the wide open fields of the arid regions of southern and southwestern Africa. They are very difficult to spot, especially in high grass. <br clear="all"> ====Thomson's gazelle==== [[image:2009-thom-gazelle.jpg|thumb|240px|Male Thomson's gazelle]] ''Eudorcas thomsonii'' Essentially East Africa's equivalent of the springbok; the two are quite similar in size, coloration, and habitat preference. Probably the best-known of the gazelle species. <br clear="all"> ====Waterbuck==== [[Image:Waterbuck Male.JPG|thumb|240px|Male waterbuck with 'toilet seat' ring]] ''Kobus ellipsiprymnus'' is a medium-size antelope with grey-brown fur and distinctive backside markings. There are two types: one has white ring often likened to sitting on a just-painted toilet seat, while the other has a solid white circle. <br clear="all"> ===Other mammals=== ====Aardvark==== [[File:Porc formiguer.JPG|thumb|240px|Aardvark]] The Aardvark (''Orycteropus afer, sometimes also called antbear or anteater'') is a medium-sized mammal. The name comes from the Afrikaans/Dutch for ''earth pig'' ("aarde" earth, "varken" pig), because early settlers from Europe thought it resembled a pig. However, the Aardvark is not closely related to pigs. <br clear="all"> ====Bat-Eared Fox==== [[File:Bat eared fox Kenya crop.jpg|thumb|240px|Bat-Eared Fox]] The Bat-eared Fox is named after its huge ears. Bat-eared Foxes have tawny fur, their ears, legs and parts of the face are black. They are 55 cm in length (head and body), their ears are 13 cm long. It is the only species in the genus Otocyon. The teeth of the Bat-eared Fox are much smaller than teeth of other dog species. This is an adaptation to their insectivorous diet. 80% of the diet consists of insects. Bat-eared Foxes visit termite hills, follow locust swarms or stay close to herds of zebras or antelopes in order to feed on the insects landing on their excrements. In addition to insects Bat-eared Foxes eat rodents, birds and eggs, and sometimes fruits. Bat-eared Foxes are nocturnal animals that live in small groups consisting of a couple and their young. The pairs live in dens and raise the pups (two to five) together. <br clear="all"> ====Buffalo==== [[Image:Buffalo Herd.JPG|thumb|240px|Herd of buffalo]] ''Syncerus caffer'' are fierce beasts; males may reach up to 700 kg in weight. They live in herds and have a strong social bond. They can form groups of up to several thousand members when the environment permits and groups are organized by dominant males and females. Predators are actively attacked to defend calves, injured or old members. Mothers give birth to 40 kg calves which are capable of walking shortly after birth. Calves are weaned after seven months, but stay close with their mum for 12 months. Their preferred habitat is savannah with thicket or open savannah, with protective properties. <br clear="all"> ====Dwarf mongoose==== [[Image:Ichneumon_Kruger_National_Park.JPG|thumb|240px|Playful Dwarf mongoose nearby a camp site]] ''Helogale parvule'' live in social groups with one dominant breeding pair and the rest of the group assisting with raising the offspring. The mongoose is active during daytime . They run quickly into their tunnels when they are frightened but they return quickly and are amusing to watch. They are often found close to streams, rivers, ponds, as well as along open camp sites surrounded by high grass and thicket. The mongoose lives on insects, small birds and eggs. <br clear="all"> ====Elephant==== [[Image:Elephant Walking.JPG|thumb|240px|Elephant walking]] Most authorities now recognize two separate species of African elephant—''Loxodonta africana'', the '''African bush elephant''', and ''Loxodonta cyclotis'', the '''African forest elephant'''. The bush elephant is the largest land mammal in the world; the forest elephant is the third-largest (with the related Asian elephant falling in between). Almost all elephant viewing in Africa is of bush elephants, whose typical habitat is far more open and accessible than the forest elephant's home range in the Congo Basin. ''Loxodonta africana'' are among the most common sightings in the Kruger National Park and you will be able to see them very close up. Amboseli in Kenya is famous for the biggest tusker in the world. For some it may be too close &mdash; it is definitely not for a fainthearted visitor. Bush elephants are the biggest land mammals in the world. A male can weigh up to 6,000 kg and a female up to 3,500 kg. They live in large family groups led by the most experienced females. Males are only tolerated until a certain age when they have to leave the family and often form bachelor groups. Males join the female group when they are in musth but only the strongest bulls are tolerated. Bush elephants can often be seen around rivers when they have a bath and a good sip of water. They must drink up to 160 litres of water and eat several hundred kilograms of plants per day to survive. Elephants are active at both day and night time. They are peaceful creatures and only become aggressive when they are wounded or when they feel driven to protect their young. <br clear="all"> ====Giraffe==== [[Image:Giraffe Walking Square.JPG|thumb|240px|Thornicroft's giraffe]] ''Giraffa camelopardalis'' are the tallest mammals on earth. Males reach a height of up to 5.2 metres and females 4.7 metres. Giraffes have a maximum mass of 1400 kg. In addition to the common giraffe, a subspecies known as '''Thornicraft's giraffe''', with white legs and faces, inhabits Zambia's [[South Luangwa National Park]]. Giraffes give birth after 450 days of pregnancy to a single calf of up to 100 kg and the calf can instantly stand on four legs and walks soon after. Giraffes live in loose family groups and newborn calves join the group after one week. Young giraffes grow fast and reach one meter in height within six months. Family groups can range in from 4 to up to 30 members, but the structure is loose and fluctuations are common. Giraffes are browsers and can reach leaves that are not accessible by any other ground-based mammal. To maintain such an enormous size as a herbivore, giraffes eat for up to 20 hours a day and rest only during the hottest hours of the day. <br clear="all"> ====Hippopotamus==== [[Image:Hippo Baby.JPG|thumb|240px|Juvenile and adult hippo]] ''Hippopotamus amphibius'' tolerate direct sunlight poorly, so during the day they are often spotted lurking in the river, little more than their nostrils visible. They come out to graze during the night. Hippo calves have a birth mass of around 30 kg and are dependent on their mothers for 5 months. After that, they start to graze. Hippos are said to account for more deaths than any other African mammal: keep well clear of these unpredictable beasts, and ensure that they have a clear path to retreat to water. <br clear="all"> ====Honey Badger==== [[Image:Africa-Honey Badger01.jpg|thumb|240px|Honey Badger at De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Sanctuary]] ''Mellivora capensis'' does not actually eat honey, but will raid bee hives for the larvae. These are tough little creatures that can even survive poisonous snake bites. <br clear="all"> ====Meerkat==== [[Image:Africa-Meerkat01.jpg|thumb|240px|Meerkat]] ''Suricata suricatta'' is a tiny mammal and part of the mongoose family. A group of meerkats is called a "mob" or "gang". Meerkat is a loan word from [[Afrikaans phrasebook|Afrikaans]]. The name itself came from Dutch but by misidentification. In [[Dutch phrasebook|Dutch]] meerkat (''as Meerkatze in [[German phrasebook|German]]'') means guenon, a monkey of the Cercopithecus genus which possibly derives from Sanskrit markata (monkey). The traders of the Dutch East India Company were likely familiar with such animals, but the Dutch settlers attached the name to the wrong animal at the Cape. In Dutch the name for the suricate is stokstêrtje ("little stick-tail"). According to African popular belief, the meerkat is also known as the sun angel, as it protects villages from the moon devil or the werewolf which is believed to attack stray cattle or lone tribesmen. They are fascinating to watch and you could easily do so for hours. These little rascals are also the stars of the highly acclaimed Animal Planet[http://animal.discovery.com/] program ''Meerkat Manor''. <br clear="all"> ====Pangolin==== [[File:Manis tricuspis San Diego Zoo 03.2012.jpg|thumb|240px|Tree pangolin (Manis tricuspis) in the San Diego Zoo]] ''Pangolins'' have large scales on their skin and their name is derived from the Malay word pengguling ("something that rolls up"). The physical appearance of pangolins is marked by large, hardened, plate-like scales. The scales, which are soft on newborn pangolins but harden as the animal matures, are made of keratin, the same material of which human fingernails are made. It can curl up into a ball when threatened, with its overlapping scales acting as armour. The scales are razor-sharp, and provide extra defense for this reason. The front claws are so long that they are unsuited for walking, and so the animal walks in a hunched-over manner on its hind legs, balanced by its large tail. The pangolin can also emit a noxious smelling acid from glands near the anus, similar to the spray of a skunk. Pangolins have short legs, with sharp claws which they use for burrowing. <br clear="all"> ====Rhinoceros==== [[Image:2_white_rhinos_small_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Rhino mother with Calf]] Africa has two species of rhino—''Ceratotherium simum'', the '''white rhino''', and ''Diceros bicornis'', the '''black rhino'''. They are among the rarest of all large African mammals. The most common subspecies is the southern white rhino, with an estimated wild population of over 20,000. The northern white, on the other hand, is all but extinct, with no known wild specimens and only two, both female, known in captivity (the last known male died in 2018). The black rhino has three surviving subspecies, with a combined wild population approaching 5,000. Hunted to near-extinction in the 1970s and 1980s, herds have been reintroduced into select parks around the continent and are now slowly growing again. There is no difference in colour between the "Whites" and the "Blacks". The White Rhino differs from the Black Rhinoceros because of the shape of its mouth – it is wide, for cropping large swaths of grass. According to one theory, the term "White" actually comes from the Afrikaans word "weit", meaning 'wide'. Calves can stand immediately after birth, but they are very slow at walking. After one month they can follow their mother grazing and stay close to their mother for up to three years. <br clear="all"> ====Warthog==== [[Image:Warthogs Eating.JPG|thumb|240px|Warthogs grazing]] ''Phacochoerus aethiopicus'' are medium sized mammals with a mixed diet. Warthog babies are born at the beginning of the rainy season (December-January) and live for the first 6-7 weeks in their burrow and then start to follow their mothers. Note their interesting habit of bending their front legs to graze! <br clear="all"> ====Zebra==== [[Image:Zebra Side.JPG|thumb|240px|Crawshay's zebra]] ''Equus quagga'' are common in national parks throughout Africa and easily recognized due to their striking white and black stripes. '''Burchell's zebra''' is the more common subspecies, with gray "shadow" stripes, while the rarer '''Crawshay's zebra''' (found in Zambia's [[South Luangwa National Park|South Luangwa]]) lack these. The '''mountain zebra''' (''Equus zebra''), a separate endangered species, is found in the dry and hilly regions of southern Africa, notably the [[Mountain Zebra National Park]]. Some national parks in Kenya and Tanzania support groups of thousands of zebras. The mare leaves the herd to give birth to the foal and rejoins after birth. <br clear="all"> ==Reptiles== ===Crocodile=== [[Image:Crocodile Basking.JPG|thumb|240px|Crocodile basking in the sunshine]] ''Crocodylus niloticus'', the '''Nile crocodile''', live along rivers and are very successful hunters and eat whatever they can. They control their body temperature by lying in the sun to warm up in winter or to cool down in water in the hot summer. <br clear="all"> ===Leopard tortoise=== [[Image:Leopard_tortoise_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Leopard tortoise]] ''Geochelone pardalis'' can be best spotted on tarred roads (they are virtually invisible in the high grass from a car). They like to drink water from tarred roads. <br clear="all"> ==Birds== ===African Black Oystercatcher=== [[File:African Black Oystercatcher RWD1.jpg|thumb|240px|The African Black oystercatcher]] ''Haematopus moquini'' can be found along the [[South Africa]]n and [[Namibia]]n coastline. <br clear="all"> ===Blue Crane=== [[Image:Southern_Africa-Blue_Crane.jpg|thumb|240px|The Blue Crane]] ''Anthropooedes paradisea'' is the national bird of [[South Africa]] and also the symbol of the Zulu Royal House. Found almost exclusively in [[South Africa]] (''less than 100 still remain in [[Namibia]]''), these birds are under threat with populations declining rapidly and less than 30,000 remaining in the wild. <br clear="all"> ===Cape Sugarbird=== [[File:Cape Sugarbird (Promerops cafer) 2.jpg|thumb|240px|The sugarbird is fynbos-endemic]] ''Promerops cafer'' can be found in the [[Western Cape]]. <br clear="all"> ===Carmine-chested bee-eater=== [[Image:Coracias caudatus (Crop).jpg|thumb|240px|Carmine-chested bee-eater]] ''Merops nubicoides'' is an insect hunting bird that preys on insects such as bees and grasshoppers, easily recognized by its striking red chest and even more striking blue wings (only clearly visible in flight). It breeds in Zimbabwe and Transvaal, but can occasionally be seen in flocks of hundreds &mdash; a stunning sight. <br clear="all"> ===Crowned Plover=== [[Image:Unknown_bird_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Crowned Plover, Vanellus coronatus]] ''Vanellus coronatus'' <br clear="all"> ===Darter=== [[File:African darter in Chobe National Park 01.jpg|alt=|thumb|240x240px|Darter]] ''Anhinga rufa'' can be spotted close to dams, when drying their feathers from a previous dive. <br clear="all"> ===Fish eagle=== [[Image:AfricanFishEagle.JPG|thumb|240px|Fish eagle looking for prey]] ''Haliaeetus vocifer'' is a fish hunter and can be spotted along the Sabie river in South Africa. <br clear="all"> ===Ground hornbill=== [[Image:Southern Ground Hornbill KNP.jpg|thumb|240px|Group of four southern ground hornbills]] Both living species of '''ground hornbill'''&mdash;not to be confused with just "hornbill"&mdash; make their homes in Africa. These ground-dwelling birds grow up to about a metre in height and weigh about 2-6 kg when fully grown. The '''southern ground hornbill''' is slightly larger than the '''Abyssinian ground hornbill''', and has a less distinctive horn. Their ranges don't overlap much, so you can typically tell them apart based on location. Their plumage is generally black, with either red (males) or blue (females) colour on their throats. Both species are endangered and there are citizen-science tracking projects for enthusiastic travellers to help report about them. <br clear="all"> ===Helmeted guineafowl=== [[File:Helmeted Guineafowl RWD.jpg|thumb|240px|Helmeted guineafowl]] ''Numida meleagris'' can be spotted often in small groups along roads when they are picking insects or seeds. <br clear="all"> ===Hornbill=== [[File:Southern Yellow-Billed Hornbill 2019-07-25.jpg|thumb|Southern Yellow-Billed Hornbill in Etosha]] 24 species of '''hornbill''' are native to Africa. Hornbills are characterised by their long, frequently brightly-coloured, bills which curve down. These monogomous birds typically feed on fruit and small animals, with varying ranges &ndash; some prefer dense forests, whilst most prefer open woodlands and savanna or even semi-desert. Most species of hornbill in Africa are medium sized birds, typically around 40-80 cm in length. <br clear="all"> ===Ostrich=== [[File:Ostrich Ngorongoro 04.jpg|thumb|240px|Male ostrich in [[Ngorongoro Conservation Area]].]] The two existing species of ostrich—the '''common ostrich''' (''Struthio camelus'') and '''Somali ostrich''' (''Struthio molybdophanes'')—are the biggest birds on earth. They can grow up to two metres. They eat grass, berries and seeds and normally live in family groups. Males are coloured white and black, while females are of a brownish colour. The two species are distinguished mainly by the color of their neck and thighs—pink for the common ostrich, and greyish-blue for the Somali ostrich. They also differ in their habitat preferences; the Somali ostrich tends to feed by browsing in more thickly vegetated areas, while the common ostrich mainly grazes on open savanna. Ostrich eggs are the largest of any animal, weighing up to 1.4 kg/3.1 lb, but interestingly are the smallest of all bird eggs relative to the size of the adult. <br clear="all"> ===Redbilled oxpecker=== [[Image:Springbock_with_threadworm_eating_bird_on_its_back_Kruger_National_Park.JPG|thumb|240px|Impala with bird on its back (Redbilled oxpecker)]] ''Buphagus erythrorhynchus'' give relief to grazing animals by removing ticks from the skin of Kudu, Impala and Steenbok. <br clear="all"> ===Spottedbacked weaver=== [[Image:Spottedbacked_weaver_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Spottedbacked weaver]] This is a very colourful yellow bird with characteristic hanging nests. Breeding colonies can often be seen along rivers and birds often visit camps for some scraps of food. <br clear="all"> ===Saddlebilled stork=== [[Image:Saddlebilled_stork_in_the_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Saddlebilled stork]] ''Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis'' is easy to spot because of its colourful appearance and its size. It spends winter in the [[Kruger National Park|KNP]]. <br clear="all"> ===Secretary bird=== [[File:Secretary bird (Sagittarius serpentarius) 2.jpg|thumb|240px|Secretary bird in Masai Mara, Kenya.]] <br clear="all"> ==Marine Life== ===Penguins=== [[Image:South_Africa-Boulders_Beach-Penguins01.jpg|thumb|240px|African penguins (''Spheniscus demersus'')]] Penguins are common around the Southern African coast, especially in the colder waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

Going on a [[Safaris|safari]] is a common way to see it. Most of Africa is part of the '''Afrotropical realm''', together with the southern Arabian peninsula and a small part of Iran. [[North Africa]] is part of the '''Palearctic realm''', and contains [[Eurasian wildlife]]. The wildlife of the island country of [[Madagascar]] differs a lot from the mainland. [[File:Ecozone Afrotropic.svg|300px|thumb|The Afrotropical realm, marked in blue]] Many safari visitors are keen on seeing the '''Big Five''' — buffalo, [[elephants|elephant]], leopard, lion and rhino — but there is a lot more out there if you know where to look. {| style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto; text-align:center;" | '''Major wildlife regions'''<br>[[North American wildlife|North America]] • [[Central and South American wildlife|Central & South America]] • [[African wildlife|Africa]] • [[Eurasian wildlife|Eurasia]] • [[Wildlife in South and Southeast Asia|South & Southeast Asia]] • [[Australasian wildlife|Australasia]] • [[Wildlife of the Southern Ocean|Southern Ocean]] |} ==Mammals== ===Primates=== Africa is home to an extremely wide variety of primates, including all the extant great apes except the orangutan. Modern humans are also believed by most scientists to trace their origins to Africa. ====Baboon==== [[Image:ChacmaBaboon Walking.JPG|thumb|240px|Chacma baboon]] ''Papio ursinus'', also known as the '''common baboon''', lives in social groups guided by a dominant male. Newborn baboons are black and are carried around by their mothers. Later, they ride on the back of their mother and after three to four months they change color to the adult brown-grey. <br clear="all"> ====Gorilla==== Gorillas are divided into two species: eastern (''Gorilla beringei'') and western (''Gorilla gorilla''). Both are endangered, and both are only found (in the wild) in poor African countries. The most practical way of seeing gorillas in the wild is through organized tours in [[Rwanda]] or [[Uganda]]. To see western gorillas, the [[Republic of the Congo]] appears to be the best option. Outside of these organized tours/treks, not only do you have to get very lucky to see a gorilla, but you may have to deal with dangers both natural and human. See the following [http://www.wanderlust.co.uk/planatrip/inspire-me/lists/10-of-the-best-places-to-see-gorillas overview] of tour options. Gorillas can be found in zoos throughout the world. <br clear="all"> ====Vervet monkey==== [[Image:Vervet_monkey_in_the_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Vervet monkey]] ''Cercopithecus aethiops'' is a social monkey that lives close to rivers and feeds on leaves, fruits and insects. Family groups are up to 20 members strong. Newborn vervet monkeys are dependent on their mothers for three months, and from then on they become youngsters. <br clear="all"> ===Carnivores=== Meat-eating mammals are the kings of the bush. ====Cheetah==== [[Image:Cheetah 2003.JPG|thumb|240px|Cheetah]] Cheetahs (''Acinonyx jubatus'') are the fastest hunters in Africa, but you are quite lucky if you can see them very close because they tend to be hidden in the high grass. You don't see them in the dense thickets of South Africa whereas the savanna in Kenya and Tanzania allows for better viewing. Cheetahs usually travel alone or in small groups consisting of the mother and her offspring. They hunt in the cool hours of the day. Cheetahs reach a maximum speed of up to 100 km/h in a short and explosive burst and tackle their prey in a single attack. The preferred prey is Impala, but birds are on the lunch menu as well. <br clear="all"> ====Leopard==== ''Panthera pardus'' are famously elusive hunters that stalk their prey at night. For most visitors, the only chance of spotting one is on night drives, and Zambia's [[South Luangwa National Park]] (which allows night driving) is claimed by some to have the highest density of leopards in all of Africa. <br clear="all"> ====Lion==== [[Image:Lion Walking.JPG|thumb|240px|Lioness walking at dusk]] ''Panthera leo'' are common in the wider part of Africa and can be best seen in Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti and to a lesser extent in South Africa, nevertheless you have to be lucky to see them very close. Lions hunt early in the morning or in the night and during the day they allow themselves to be lazy. To see them in action you have to get up before the crack of dawn or you see them only resting after a big dinner. Their menu consists mainly of bigger mammals and zebras seem to be the favourite if available. Males often do not contribute to the hunting but they demand the "lion's" share and female youngsters have to wait until it is their turn. Lion cubs are dependent on their mothers for up to two years, and they start to hunt when they are about 11 months old. Lions are social cats, living in prides of 3-30 lions consisting of 1-4 males and several females. <br clear="all"> ====Spotted hyena==== [[Image:Hyena_Kruger_National_Park.JPG|thumb|240px|dozy hyena]] ''Crocuta crocuta'' has a bad reputation for no good reason. They are good at hunting and are not dependent on the leftovers from lions. They live in packs of 3-4 animals and can form larger groups as well. The leader of the pack is a female and they hunt often during the night but can be spotted during the daytime as well. They prey on insects, mammals such as zebras and wildebeest and sometimes they bring down a giraffe, or fight off lions from their catch. They tend to explore bins in national parks. Cubs are dependent on their mum's milk for 9-12 months and start to look after themselves within 15 months. <br clear="all"> ====African wild dog==== [[Image:South_Africa-Johannesburg-Lion_Park02.jpg|thumb|240px|African Wild Dogs]] ''Lycaon pictus'' live in packs of 10-15 members. Wild dog sightings are always a big event, so watch out for them because they are considered to be the rarest predator in Africa. Wild dogs are mainly active during the day and they hunt in the early hours or late afternoon. They prey on small mammals, Impalas, Springbok and occasionally buffaloes as well. The packs have hierarchical structures where only the dominant female has pups and the rest help to care for them. The pups are born in a den and they stay there for up to three weeks before they explore their environment. After five weeks the pups start to eat regurgitated meat and after 8-10 weeks they leave the den forever and follow the pack until they are about a year old. At that point, young females will leave their birth packs for new ones, while males will remain in their birth pack for life. Uniquely among the dog family, African wild dogs either lack the copulatory tie, or have a very short one, during mating. <br clear="all"> ====Black Backed Jackal==== [[Image:Southern_Africa-Black_backed_jackal.jpg|thumb|240px|Black Backed Jackal]] ''Canis mesomelas'' can be found throughout [[Southern Africa]]. <br clear="all"> ====Caracal==== [[Image:Africa-Caracal01.jpg|thumb|240px|Caracal at De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Sanctuary]] ''Felis Caracal'' <br clear="all"> ===Antelopes=== Antelopes are among the most common animals seen on safari, but there are numerous species that, to the untrained eye, can be difficult to distinguish. ====Bontebok==== [[Image:RSA_Bontebok.jpg|thumb|240px|A Bontebok in the [[Bontebok National Park]]]] ''Damaliscus pygargus pygargus'' are mainly found in the [[Western Cape]] of [[South Africa]]. They have white, light and dark brownish markings and are easily recognised. They live in herds. However, males leave the herd at a certain age and form in small groups of their own. <br clear="all"> ====Blesbuck==== [[Image:Africa-Blesbuck01.jpg|thumb|240px|Blesbuck at the Lion Park in [[Johannesburg]]]] ''Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi'', closely related to the Bontebok, Blesbuck are mainly found on the highveld region of [[South Africa]]. <br clear="all"> ====Blue Duiker==== [[Image:Southern_Africa-Blue_Duiker01.jpg|thumb|240px|Blue Duiker]] ''Cephalophus monticola'' is a small (''under 40cm shoulder height'') antelope found in forested areas throughout [[Southern Africa | Southern]] and [[Central Africa]] <br clear="all"> ====Blue wildebeest==== [[Image:RSA_Blue_Wildebeest.jpg|thumb|240px|Two Blue Wildebeest in high grass.]] Blue wildebeest (''Connochaetes taurinus'') are large antelopes that form small groups and are seasonal breeders. Offspring arrive from November to February and are born within the herd. Calves may be defended fiercely against any attacker. <br clear="all"> ====Impala==== [[Image:Impala Pair Drinking.JPG|thumb|240px|Male and female impala drinking at a waterhole]] ''Aepyceros melampus'' live in big herds and newborn lambs join the herd after 1-2 days. They are excellent sprinters and can outrun many predators. Males have impressive horns which are mainly used for fights over females rather than as a defence weapon. The impala can be distinguished from other antelopes by its distinctive backside, marked with white and black stripes that resemble the McDonald's logo. Impala are hunted by lions and leopards, although in reality they are hard to catch, because the whole herd will jump and run around, totally confusing the hunting animal. <br clear="all"> ====Kudu==== [[Image:Kudo_Kruger_National_Park.JPG|thumb|240px|Kudu during the hot daytime]] ''Tragelaphus strepsiceros'' is a big antelope and is very common in the [[Kruger National Park]]. Calves are born outside of the herd and are kept in a secret location for 1-2 weeks before they join the herd. They are loved in the national park but farmers hate them because a 2 meter high fence does not stop them from entering farm premises and eating the crops. <br clear="all"> ====Puku==== [[File:Kobus vardonii (male portrait).jpg|thumb|240px|Male Puku near South Luangwa National Park, Zambia]] ''Kobus vardonii'' are common in [[Zambia]], but not common elsewhere. Usually found in small herds of about half a dozen, puku have large lyre-shaped horns, reddish-brown fur and lack the backside markings of impala and waterbucks. <br clear="all"> ====Red Hartebeest==== [[Image:Africa-Red_Hartebeest01.jpg|thumb|240px|Red Hartebeest in the [[Krugersdorp]] Game Reserve]] ''Alcelphus buselaphus'' can be found in [[Botswana]], [[Namibia]] and [[South Africa]] <br clear="all"> ====Springbok==== [[image:Antidorcas marsupialis 2.jpg|thumb|240px|Springbok]] ''Antidorcas marsupialis'' Often mistaken for Impalas, because they look like a small Impala. However their colour is different and they prefer living in the wide open fields of the arid regions of southern and southwestern Africa. They are very difficult to spot, especially in high grass. <br clear="all"> ====Thomson's gazelle==== [[image:2009-thom-gazelle.jpg|thumb|240px|Male Thomson's gazelle]] ''Eudorcas thomsonii'' Essentially East Africa's equivalent of the springbok; the two are quite similar in size, coloration, and habitat preference. Probably the best-known of the gazelle species. <br clear="all"> ====Waterbuck==== [[Image:Waterbuck Male.JPG|thumb|240px|Male waterbuck with 'toilet seat' ring]] ''Kobus ellipsiprymnus'' is a medium-size antelope with grey-brown fur and distinctive backside markings. There are two types: one has white ring often likened to sitting on a just-painted toilet seat, while the other has a solid white circle. <br clear="all"> ===Other mammals=== ====Aardvark==== [[File:Porc formiguer.JPG|thumb|240px|Aardvark]] The Aardvark (''Orycteropus afer, sometimes also called antbear or anteater'') is a medium-sized mammal. The name comes from the Afrikaans/Dutch for ''earth pig'' ("aarde" earth, "varken" pig), because early settlers from Europe thought it resembled a pig. However, the Aardvark is not closely related to pigs. <br clear="all"> ====Bat-Eared Fox==== [[File:Bat eared fox Kenya crop.jpg|thumb|240px|Bat-Eared Fox]] The Bat-eared Fox is named after its huge ears. Bat-eared Foxes have tawny fur, their ears, legs and parts of the face are black. They are 55 cm in length (head and body), their ears are 13 cm long. It is the only species in the genus Otocyon. The teeth of the Bat-eared Fox are much smaller than teeth of other dog species. This is an adaptation to their insectivorous diet. 80% of the diet consists of insects. Bat-eared Foxes visit termite hills, follow locust swarms or stay close to herds of zebras or antelopes in order to feed on the insects landing on their excrements. In addition to insects Bat-eared Foxes eat rodents, birds and eggs, and sometimes fruits. Bat-eared Foxes are nocturnal animals that live in small groups consisting of a couple and their young. The pairs live in dens and raise the pups (two to five) together. <br clear="all"> ====Buffalo==== [[Image:Buffalo Herd.JPG|thumb|240px|Herd of buffalo]] ''Syncerus caffer'' are fierce beasts; males may reach up to 700 kg in weight. They live in herds and have a strong social bond. They can form groups of up to several thousand members when the environment permits and groups are organized by dominant males and females. Predators are actively attacked to defend calves, injured or old members. Mothers give birth to 40 kg calves which are capable of walking shortly after birth. Calves are weaned after seven months, but stay close with their mum for 12 months. Their preferred habitat is savannah with thicket or open savannah, with protective properties. <br clear="all"> ====Dwarf mongoose==== [[Image:Ichneumon_Kruger_National_Park.JPG|thumb|240px|Playful Dwarf mongoose nearby a camp site]] ''Helogale parvule'' live in social groups with one dominant breeding pair and the rest of the group assisting with raising the offspring. The mongoose is active during daytime . They run quickly into their tunnels when they are frightened but they return quickly and are amusing to watch. They are often found close to streams, rivers, ponds, as well as along open camp sites surrounded by high grass and thicket. The mongoose lives on insects, small birds and eggs. <br clear="all"> ====Elephant==== [[Image:Elephant Walking.JPG|thumb|240px|Elephant walking]] Most authorities now recognize two separate species of African elephant—''Loxodonta africana'', the '''African bush elephant''', and ''Loxodonta cyclotis'', the '''African forest elephant'''. The bush elephant is the largest land mammal in the world; the forest elephant is the third-largest (with the related Asian elephant falling in between). Almost all elephant viewing in Africa is of bush elephants, whose typical habitat is far more open and accessible than the forest elephant's home range in the Congo Basin. ''Loxodonta africana'' are among the most common sightings in the Kruger National Park and you will be able to see them very close up. Amboseli in Kenya is famous for the biggest tusker in the world. For some it may be too close &mdash; it is definitely not for a fainthearted visitor. Bush elephants are the biggest land mammals in the world. A male can weigh up to 6,000 kg and a female up to 3,500 kg. They live in large family groups led by the most experienced females. Males are only tolerated until a certain age when they have to leave the family and often form bachelor groups. Males join the female group when they are in musth but only the strongest bulls are tolerated. Bush elephants can often be seen around rivers when they have a bath and a good sip of water. They must drink up to 160 litres of water and eat several hundred kilograms of plants per day to survive. Elephants are active at both day and night time. They are peaceful creatures and only become aggressive when they are wounded or when they feel driven to protect their young. <br clear="all"> ====Giraffe==== [[Image:Giraffe Walking Square.JPG|thumb|240px|Thornicroft's giraffe]] ''Giraffa camelopardalis'' are the tallest mammals on earth. Males reach a height of up to 5.2 metres and females 4.7 metres. Giraffes have a maximum mass of 1400 kg. In addition to the common giraffe, a subspecies known as '''Thornicraft's giraffe''', with white legs and faces, inhabits Zambia's [[South Luangwa National Park]]. Giraffes give birth after 450 days of pregnancy to a single calf of up to 100 kg and the calf can instantly stand on four legs and walks soon after. Giraffes live in loose family groups and newborn calves join the group after one week. Young giraffes grow fast and reach one meter in height within six months. Family groups can range in from 4 to up to 30 members, but the structure is loose and fluctuations are common. Giraffes are browsers and can reach leaves that are not accessible by any other ground-based mammal. To maintain such an enormous size as a herbivore, giraffes eat for up to 20 hours a day and rest only during the hottest hours of the day. <br clear="all"> ====Hippopotamus==== [[Image:Hippo Baby.JPG|thumb|240px|Juvenile and adult hippo]] ''Hippopotamus amphibius'' tolerate direct sunlight poorly, so during the day they are often spotted lurking in the river, little more than their nostrils visible. They come out to graze during the night. Hippo calves have a birth mass of around 30 kg and are dependent on their mothers for 5 months. After that, they start to graze. Hippos are said to account for more deaths than any other African mammal: keep well clear of these unpredictable beasts, and ensure that they have a clear path to retreat to water. <br clear="all"> ====Honey Badger==== [[Image:Africa-Honey Badger01.jpg|thumb|240px|Honey Badger at De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Sanctuary]] ''Mellivora capensis'' does not actually eat honey, but will raid bee hives for the larvae. These are tough little creatures that can even survive poisonous snake bites. <br clear="all"> ====Meerkat==== [[Image:Africa-Meerkat01.jpg|thumb|240px|Meerkat]] ''Suricata suricatta'' is a tiny mammal and part of the mongoose family. A group of meerkats is called a "mob" or "gang". Meerkat is a loan word from [[Afrikaans phrasebook|Afrikaans]]. The name itself came from Dutch but by misidentification. In [[Dutch phrasebook|Dutch]] meerkat (''as Meerkatze in [[German phrasebook|German]]'') means guenon, a monkey of the Cercopithecus genus which possibly derives from Sanskrit markata (monkey). The traders of the Dutch East India Company were likely familiar with such animals, but the Dutch settlers attached the name to the wrong animal at the Cape. In Dutch the name for the suricate is stokstêrtje ("little stick-tail"). According to African popular belief, the meerkat is also known as the sun angel, as it protects villages from the moon devil or the werewolf which is believed to attack stray cattle or lone tribesmen. They are fascinating to watch and you could easily do so for hours. These little rascals are also the stars of the highly acclaimed Animal Planet[http://animal.discovery.com/] program ''Meerkat Manor''. <br clear="all"> ====Pangolin==== [[File:Manis tricuspis San Diego Zoo 03.2012.jpg|thumb|240px|Tree pangolin (Manis tricuspis) in the San Diego Zoo]] ''Pangolins'' have large scales on their skin and their name is derived from the Malay word pengguling ("something that rolls up"). The physical appearance of pangolins is marked by large, hardened, plate-like scales. The scales, which are soft on newborn pangolins but harden as the animal matures, are made of keratin, the same material of which human fingernails are made. It can curl up into a ball when threatened, with its overlapping scales acting as armour. The scales are razor-sharp, and provide extra defense for this reason. The front claws are so long that they are unsuited for walking, and so the animal walks in a hunched-over manner on its hind legs, balanced by its large tail. The pangolin can also emit a noxious smelling acid from glands near the anus, similar to the spray of a skunk. Pangolins have short legs, with sharp claws which they use for burrowing. <br clear="all"> ====Rhinoceros==== [[Image:2_white_rhinos_small_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Rhino mother with Calf]] Africa has two species of rhino—''Ceratotherium simum'', the '''white rhino''', and ''Diceros bicornis'', the '''black rhino'''. They are among the rarest of all large African mammals. The most common subspecies is the southern white rhino, with an estimated wild population of over 20,000. The northern white, on the other hand, is all but extinct, with no known wild specimens and only two, both female, known in captivity (the last known male died in 2018). The black rhino has three surviving subspecies, with a combined wild population approaching 5,000. Hunted to near-extinction in the 1970s and 1980s, herds have been reintroduced into select parks around the continent and are now slowly growing again. There is no difference in colour between the "Whites" and the "Blacks". The White Rhino differs from the Black Rhinoceros because of the shape of its mouth – it is wide, for cropping large swaths of grass. According to one theory, the term "White" actually comes from the Afrikaans word "weit", meaning 'wide'. Calves can stand immediately after birth, but they are very slow at walking. After one month they can follow their mother grazing and stay close to their mother for up to three years. <br clear="all"> ====Warthog==== [[Image:Warthogs Eating.JPG|thumb|240px|Warthogs grazing]] ''Phacochoerus aethiopicus'' are medium sized mammals with a mixed diet. Warthog babies are born at the beginning of the rainy season (December-January) and live for the first 6-7 weeks in their burrow and then start to follow their mothers. Note their interesting habit of bending their front legs to graze! <br clear="all"> ====Zebra==== [[Image:Zebra Side.JPG|thumb|240px|Crawshay's zebra]] Africa features three species of zebra. The '''plains zebra''' (''Equus quagga'') is common in national parks throughout Africa and easily recognized due to its striking white and black stripes. It is currently divided into seven subspecies, of which six still exist (the quagga, ''E. q. quagga'', was hunted to extinction in the late 19th century). '''Burchell's zebra''' is one of the more common subspecies, with gray "shadow" stripes, while the rarer '''Crawshay's zebra''' (found in Zambia's [[South Luangwa National Park|South Luangwa]]) lack these. The '''mountain zebra''' (''E. zebra''), a separate endangered species, is found in the dry and hilly regions of southern Africa, notably the [[Mountain Zebra National Park]]. The third and physically largest species, '''Grévy's zebra''' (''E. grevyi''), found only in small parts of Kenya and Ethiopia, is even more endangered than the mountain zebra and is strongly protected in both countries. Some national parks in Kenya and Tanzania support groups of thousands of zebras. The mare leaves the herd to give birth to the foal and rejoins after birth. <br clear="all"> ==Reptiles== ===Crocodile=== [[Image:Crocodile Basking.JPG|thumb|240px|Crocodile basking in the sunshine]] ''Crocodylus niloticus'', the '''Nile crocodile''', live along rivers and are very successful hunters and eat whatever they can. They control their body temperature by lying in the sun to warm up in winter or to cool down in water in the hot summer. <br clear="all"> ===Leopard tortoise=== [[Image:Leopard_tortoise_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Leopard tortoise]] ''Geochelone pardalis'' can be best spotted on tarred roads (they are virtually invisible in the high grass from a car). They like to drink water from tarred roads. <br clear="all"> ==Birds== ===African Black Oystercatcher=== [[File:African Black Oystercatcher RWD1.jpg|thumb|240px|The African Black oystercatcher]] ''Haematopus moquini'' can be found along the [[South Africa]]n and [[Namibia]]n coastline. <br clear="all"> ===Blue Crane=== [[Image:Southern_Africa-Blue_Crane.jpg|thumb|240px|The Blue Crane]] ''Anthropooedes paradisea'' is the national bird of [[South Africa]] and also the symbol of the Zulu Royal House. Found almost exclusively in [[South Africa]] (''less than 100 still remain in [[Namibia]]''), these birds are under threat with populations declining rapidly and less than 30,000 remaining in the wild. <br clear="all"> ===Cape Sugarbird=== [[File:Cape Sugarbird (Promerops cafer) 2.jpg|thumb|240px|The sugarbird is fynbos-endemic]] ''Promerops cafer'' can be found in the [[Western Cape]]. <br clear="all"> ===Carmine-chested bee-eater=== [[Image:Coracias caudatus (Crop).jpg|thumb|240px|Carmine-chested bee-eater]] ''Merops nubicoides'' is an insect hunting bird that preys on insects such as bees and grasshoppers, easily recognized by its striking red chest and even more striking blue wings (only clearly visible in flight). It breeds in Zimbabwe and Transvaal, but can occasionally be seen in flocks of hundreds &mdash; a stunning sight. <br clear="all"> ===Crowned Plover=== [[Image:Unknown_bird_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Crowned Plover, Vanellus coronatus]] ''Vanellus coronatus'' <br clear="all"> ===Darter=== [[File:African darter in Chobe National Park 01.jpg|alt=|thumb|240x240px|Darter]] ''Anhinga rufa'' can be spotted close to dams, when drying their feathers from a previous dive. <br clear="all"> ===Fish eagle=== [[Image:AfricanFishEagle.JPG|thumb|240px|Fish eagle looking for prey]] ''Haliaeetus vocifer'' is a fish hunter and can be spotted along the Sabie river in South Africa. <br clear="all"> ===Ground hornbill=== [[Image:Southern Ground Hornbill KNP.jpg|thumb|240px|Group of four southern ground hornbills]] Both living species of '''ground hornbill'''&mdash;not to be confused with just "hornbill"&mdash; make their homes in Africa. These ground-dwelling birds grow up to about a metre in height and weigh about 2-6 kg when fully grown. The '''southern ground hornbill''' is slightly larger than the '''Abyssinian ground hornbill''', and has a less distinctive horn. Their ranges don't overlap much, so you can typically tell them apart based on location. Their plumage is generally black, with either red (males) or blue (females) colour on their throats. Both species are endangered and there are citizen-science tracking projects for enthusiastic travellers to help report about them. <br clear="all"> ===Helmeted guineafowl=== [[File:Helmeted Guineafowl RWD.jpg|thumb|240px|Helmeted guineafowl]] ''Numida meleagris'' can be spotted often in small groups along roads when they are picking insects or seeds. <br clear="all"> ===Hornbill=== [[File:Southern Yellow-Billed Hornbill 2019-07-25.jpg|thumb|Southern Yellow-Billed Hornbill in Etosha]] 24 species of '''hornbill''' are native to Africa. Hornbills are characterised by their long, frequently brightly-coloured, bills which curve down. These monogomous birds typically feed on fruit and small animals, with varying ranges &ndash; some prefer dense forests, whilst most prefer open woodlands and savanna or even semi-desert. Most species of hornbill in Africa are medium sized birds, typically around 40-80 cm in length. <br clear="all"> ===Ostrich=== [[File:Ostrich Ngorongoro 04.jpg|thumb|240px|Male ostrich in [[Ngorongoro Conservation Area]].]] The two existing species of ostrich—the '''common ostrich''' (''Struthio camelus'') and '''Somali ostrich''' (''Struthio molybdophanes'')—are the biggest birds on earth. They can grow up to two metres. They eat grass, berries and seeds and normally live in family groups. Males are coloured white and black, while females are of a brownish colour. The two species are distinguished mainly by the color of their neck and thighs—pink for the common ostrich, and greyish-blue for the Somali ostrich. They also differ in their habitat preferences; the Somali ostrich tends to feed by browsing in more thickly vegetated areas, while the common ostrich mainly grazes on open savanna. Ostrich eggs are the largest of any animal, weighing up to 1.4 kg/3.1 lb, but interestingly are the smallest of all bird eggs relative to the size of the adult. <br clear="all"> ===Redbilled oxpecker=== [[Image:Springbock_with_threadworm_eating_bird_on_its_back_Kruger_National_Park.JPG|thumb|240px|Impala with bird on its back (Redbilled oxpecker)]] ''Buphagus erythrorhynchus'' give relief to grazing animals by removing ticks from the skin of Kudu, Impala and Steenbok. <br clear="all"> ===Spottedbacked weaver=== [[Image:Spottedbacked_weaver_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Spottedbacked weaver]] This is a very colourful yellow bird with characteristic hanging nests. Breeding colonies can often be seen along rivers and birds often visit camps for some scraps of food. <br clear="all"> ===Saddlebilled stork=== [[Image:Saddlebilled_stork_in_the_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Saddlebilled stork]] ''Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis'' is easy to spot because of its colourful appearance and its size. It spends winter in the [[Kruger National Park|KNP]]. <br clear="all"> ===Secretary bird=== [[File:Secretary bird (Sagittarius serpentarius) 2.jpg|thumb|240px|Secretary bird in Masai Mara, Kenya.]] <br clear="all"> ==Marine Life== ===Penguins=== [[Image:South_Africa-Boulders_Beach-Penguins01.jpg|thumb|240px|African penguins (''Spheniscus demersus'')]] Penguins are common around the Southern African coast, especially in the colder waters of the Atlantic Ocean. A breeding colony can be found a stone's throw away from [[Cape Town]] at [[Boulders|Boulder Beach]] <br clear="all"> ===Whales=== [[File:Southern right whale.jpg|thumb|A breaching Southern Right whale]] A good place for [[whale watching]] is in [[Cape Peninsula]] and [[Overberg]], [[South Africa]]. <br clear="all"> ===Seals=== [[File:Arctocephalus pusillus (Cape fur seals).jpg|thumb|240px|A colony of Cape Fur Seals at Cape Cross on the Skeleton Coast, Namibia]] Seals can be found in many parts of [[Africa]] and often make themselves at home on the beach. <br clear="all"> ==Plants== ===Umbrella thorn=== ''Acacia tortillis'' is one of the best known trees from Africa. As its name suggests it is full of thorns and only specialist herbivores can eat its leaves without suffering from the thorn defence (see also Giraffe). <br clear="all"> ===Paperbark Thorn=== [[Image:Africa-Acacia_sieberiana_01.jpg|thumb|240px|Paperbark Thorn]] ''Acacia sieberiana'' is common throughout [[Southern Africa]] and is often the tree used to give photographs that ''[[Africa]]n'' feeling since the ''umbrealla'' it forms is generally very well defined. <br clear="all"> ===King Protea=== [[Image:South_Africa-King_Protea01.jpg|thumb|240px|King Protea]] ''Protea cynaroides'' The National flower of [[South Africa]]. <br clear="all"> ===Aloe=== [[Image:South_Africa-Aloe01.jpg|thumb|240px|Aloe field]] Aloe is common throughout [[Southern Africa]]. <br clear="all"> ===Weeping boer-bean=== [[Image:Weeping_boer-bean_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Weeping boer bean]] ''Schotia brachypetala'' is a tree that prefers wet ground and is commonly found on river banks and flowers only after years of good rainfall. Beautiful red flowers appear in September to October. <br clear="all"> {{related|Africa}} {{related|African_National_Parks}} {{PartOfTopic|Natural attractions‎|Africa}} == See also == * [[Zoos]] {{usabletopic}} {{RelatedWikipedia|Fauna of Africa|rel=y}} h1s30mfdrvlbzrhxt5ufreafm1xysqg 4495988 4495987 2022-08-06T08:21:33Z Dale Arnett 737490 /* Zebra */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Safari Kenya banner.jpg|caption=African buffalo in Kenya}} {{hatnote|See [[Safaris]] for practical advice on outdoor life in Africa.}} '''African flora and fauna''' is a highlight of trips to [[Africa]], especially on visits to the [[African national parks|continent's national parks]]. Going on a [[Safaris|safari]] is a common way to see it. Most of Africa is part of the '''Afrotropical realm''', together with the southern Arabian peninsula and a small part of Iran. [[North Africa]] is part of the '''Palearctic realm''', and contains [[Eurasian wildlife]]. The wildlife of the island country of [[Madagascar]] differs a lot from the mainland. [[File:Ecozone Afrotropic.svg|300px|thumb|The Afrotropical realm, marked in blue]] Many safari visitors are keen on seeing the '''Big Five''' — buffalo, [[elephants|elephant]], leopard, lion and rhino — but there is a lot more out there if you know where to look. {| style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto; text-align:center;" | '''Major wildlife regions'''<br>[[North American wildlife|North America]] • [[Central and South American wildlife|Central & South America]] • [[African wildlife|Africa]] • [[Eurasian wildlife|Eurasia]] • [[Wildlife in South and Southeast Asia|South & Southeast Asia]] • [[Australasian wildlife|Australasia]] • [[Wildlife of the Southern Ocean|Southern Ocean]] |} ==Mammals== ===Primates=== Africa is home to an extremely wide variety of primates, including all the extant great apes except the orangutan. Modern humans are also believed by most scientists to trace their origins to Africa. ====Baboon==== [[Image:ChacmaBaboon Walking.JPG|thumb|240px|Chacma baboon]] ''Papio ursinus'', also known as the '''common baboon''', lives in social groups guided by a dominant male. Newborn baboons are black and are carried around by their mothers. Later, they ride on the back of their mother and after three to four months they change color to the adult brown-grey. <br clear="all"> ====Gorilla==== Gorillas are divided into two species: eastern (''Gorilla beringei'') and western (''Gorilla gorilla''). Both are endangered, and both are only found (in the wild) in poor African countries. The most practical way of seeing gorillas in the wild is through organized tours in [[Rwanda]] or [[Uganda]]. To see western gorillas, the [[Republic of the Congo]] appears to be the best option. Outside of these organized tours/treks, not only do you have to get very lucky to see a gorilla, but you may have to deal with dangers both natural and human. See the following [http://www.wanderlust.co.uk/planatrip/inspire-me/lists/10-of-the-best-places-to-see-gorillas overview] of tour options. Gorillas can be found in zoos throughout the world. <br clear="all"> ====Vervet monkey==== [[Image:Vervet_monkey_in_the_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Vervet monkey]] ''Cercopithecus aethiops'' is a social monkey that lives close to rivers and feeds on leaves, fruits and insects. Family groups are up to 20 members strong. Newborn vervet monkeys are dependent on their mothers for three months, and from then on they become youngsters. <br clear="all"> ===Carnivores=== Meat-eating mammals are the kings of the bush. ====Cheetah==== [[Image:Cheetah 2003.JPG|thumb|240px|Cheetah]] Cheetahs (''Acinonyx jubatus'') are the fastest hunters in Africa, but you are quite lucky if you can see them very close because they tend to be hidden in the high grass. You don't see them in the dense thickets of South Africa whereas the savanna in Kenya and Tanzania allows for better viewing. Cheetahs usually travel alone or in small groups consisting of the mother and her offspring. They hunt in the cool hours of the day. Cheetahs reach a maximum speed of up to 100 km/h in a short and explosive burst and tackle their prey in a single attack. The preferred prey is Impala, but birds are on the lunch menu as well. <br clear="all"> ====Leopard==== ''Panthera pardus'' are famously elusive hunters that stalk their prey at night. For most visitors, the only chance of spotting one is on night drives, and Zambia's [[South Luangwa National Park]] (which allows night driving) is claimed by some to have the highest density of leopards in all of Africa. <br clear="all"> ====Lion==== [[Image:Lion Walking.JPG|thumb|240px|Lioness walking at dusk]] ''Panthera leo'' are common in the wider part of Africa and can be best seen in Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti and to a lesser extent in South Africa, nevertheless you have to be lucky to see them very close. Lions hunt early in the morning or in the night and during the day they allow themselves to be lazy. To see them in action you have to get up before the crack of dawn or you see them only resting after a big dinner. Their menu consists mainly of bigger mammals and zebras seem to be the favourite if available. Males often do not contribute to the hunting but they demand the "lion's" share and female youngsters have to wait until it is their turn. Lion cubs are dependent on their mothers for up to two years, and they start to hunt when they are about 11 months old. Lions are social cats, living in prides of 3-30 lions consisting of 1-4 males and several females. <br clear="all"> ====Spotted hyena==== [[Image:Hyena_Kruger_National_Park.JPG|thumb|240px|dozy hyena]] ''Crocuta crocuta'' has a bad reputation for no good reason. They are good at hunting and are not dependent on the leftovers from lions. They live in packs of 3-4 animals and can form larger groups as well. The leader of the pack is a female and they hunt often during the night but can be spotted during the daytime as well. They prey on insects, mammals such as zebras and wildebeest and sometimes they bring down a giraffe, or fight off lions from their catch. They tend to explore bins in national parks. Cubs are dependent on their mum's milk for 9-12 months and start to look after themselves within 15 months. <br clear="all"> ====African wild dog==== [[Image:South_Africa-Johannesburg-Lion_Park02.jpg|thumb|240px|African Wild Dogs]] ''Lycaon pictus'' live in packs of 10-15 members. Wild dog sightings are always a big event, so watch out for them because they are considered to be the rarest predator in Africa. Wild dogs are mainly active during the day and they hunt in the early hours or late afternoon. They prey on small mammals, Impalas, Springbok and occasionally buffaloes as well. The packs have hierarchical structures where only the dominant female has pups and the rest help to care for them. The pups are born in a den and they stay there for up to three weeks before they explore their environment. After five weeks the pups start to eat regurgitated meat and after 8-10 weeks they leave the den forever and follow the pack until they are about a year old. At that point, young females will leave their birth packs for new ones, while males will remain in their birth pack for life. Uniquely among the dog family, African wild dogs either lack the copulatory tie, or have a very short one, during mating. <br clear="all"> ====Black Backed Jackal==== [[Image:Southern_Africa-Black_backed_jackal.jpg|thumb|240px|Black Backed Jackal]] ''Canis mesomelas'' can be found throughout [[Southern Africa]]. <br clear="all"> ====Caracal==== [[Image:Africa-Caracal01.jpg|thumb|240px|Caracal at De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Sanctuary]] ''Felis Caracal'' <br clear="all"> ===Antelopes=== Antelopes are among the most common animals seen on safari, but there are numerous species that, to the untrained eye, can be difficult to distinguish. ====Bontebok==== [[Image:RSA_Bontebok.jpg|thumb|240px|A Bontebok in the [[Bontebok National Park]]]] ''Damaliscus pygargus pygargus'' are mainly found in the [[Western Cape]] of [[South Africa]]. They have white, light and dark brownish markings and are easily recognised. They live in herds. However, males leave the herd at a certain age and form in small groups of their own. <br clear="all"> ====Blesbuck==== [[Image:Africa-Blesbuck01.jpg|thumb|240px|Blesbuck at the Lion Park in [[Johannesburg]]]] ''Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi'', closely related to the Bontebok, Blesbuck are mainly found on the highveld region of [[South Africa]]. <br clear="all"> ====Blue Duiker==== [[Image:Southern_Africa-Blue_Duiker01.jpg|thumb|240px|Blue Duiker]] ''Cephalophus monticola'' is a small (''under 40cm shoulder height'') antelope found in forested areas throughout [[Southern Africa | Southern]] and [[Central Africa]] <br clear="all"> ====Blue wildebeest==== [[Image:RSA_Blue_Wildebeest.jpg|thumb|240px|Two Blue Wildebeest in high grass.]] Blue wildebeest (''Connochaetes taurinus'') are large antelopes that form small groups and are seasonal breeders. Offspring arrive from November to February and are born within the herd. Calves may be defended fiercely against any attacker. <br clear="all"> ====Impala==== [[Image:Impala Pair Drinking.JPG|thumb|240px|Male and female impala drinking at a waterhole]] ''Aepyceros melampus'' live in big herds and newborn lambs join the herd after 1-2 days. They are excellent sprinters and can outrun many predators. Males have impressive horns which are mainly used for fights over females rather than as a defence weapon. The impala can be distinguished from other antelopes by its distinctive backside, marked with white and black stripes that resemble the McDonald's logo. Impala are hunted by lions and leopards, although in reality they are hard to catch, because the whole herd will jump and run around, totally confusing the hunting animal. <br clear="all"> ====Kudu==== [[Image:Kudo_Kruger_National_Park.JPG|thumb|240px|Kudu during the hot daytime]] ''Tragelaphus strepsiceros'' is a big antelope and is very common in the [[Kruger National Park]]. Calves are born outside of the herd and are kept in a secret location for 1-2 weeks before they join the herd. They are loved in the national park but farmers hate them because a 2 meter high fence does not stop them from entering farm premises and eating the crops. <br clear="all"> ====Puku==== [[File:Kobus vardonii (male portrait).jpg|thumb|240px|Male Puku near South Luangwa National Park, Zambia]] ''Kobus vardonii'' are common in [[Zambia]], but not common elsewhere. Usually found in small herds of about half a dozen, puku have large lyre-shaped horns, reddish-brown fur and lack the backside markings of impala and waterbucks. <br clear="all"> ====Red Hartebeest==== [[Image:Africa-Red_Hartebeest01.jpg|thumb|240px|Red Hartebeest in the [[Krugersdorp]] Game Reserve]] ''Alcelphus buselaphus'' can be found in [[Botswana]], [[Namibia]] and [[South Africa]] <br clear="all"> ====Springbok==== [[image:Antidorcas marsupialis 2.jpg|thumb|240px|Springbok]] ''Antidorcas marsupialis'' Often mistaken for Impalas, because they look like a small Impala. However their colour is different and they prefer living in the wide open fields of the arid regions of southern and southwestern Africa. They are very difficult to spot, especially in high grass. <br clear="all"> ====Thomson's gazelle==== [[image:2009-thom-gazelle.jpg|thumb|240px|Male Thomson's gazelle]] ''Eudorcas thomsonii'' Essentially East Africa's equivalent of the springbok; the two are quite similar in size, coloration, and habitat preference. Probably the best-known of the gazelle species. <br clear="all"> ====Waterbuck==== [[Image:Waterbuck Male.JPG|thumb|240px|Male waterbuck with 'toilet seat' ring]] ''Kobus ellipsiprymnus'' is a medium-size antelope with grey-brown fur and distinctive backside markings. There are two types: one has white ring often likened to sitting on a just-painted toilet seat, while the other has a solid white circle. <br clear="all"> ===Other mammals=== ====Aardvark==== [[File:Porc formiguer.JPG|thumb|240px|Aardvark]] The Aardvark (''Orycteropus afer, sometimes also called antbear or anteater'') is a medium-sized mammal. The name comes from the Afrikaans/Dutch for ''earth pig'' ("aarde" earth, "varken" pig), because early settlers from Europe thought it resembled a pig. However, the Aardvark is not closely related to pigs. <br clear="all"> ====Bat-Eared Fox==== [[File:Bat eared fox Kenya crop.jpg|thumb|240px|Bat-Eared Fox]] The Bat-eared Fox is named after its huge ears. Bat-eared Foxes have tawny fur, their ears, legs and parts of the face are black. They are 55 cm in length (head and body), their ears are 13 cm long. It is the only species in the genus Otocyon. The teeth of the Bat-eared Fox are much smaller than teeth of other dog species. This is an adaptation to their insectivorous diet. 80% of the diet consists of insects. Bat-eared Foxes visit termite hills, follow locust swarms or stay close to herds of zebras or antelopes in order to feed on the insects landing on their excrements. In addition to insects Bat-eared Foxes eat rodents, birds and eggs, and sometimes fruits. Bat-eared Foxes are nocturnal animals that live in small groups consisting of a couple and their young. The pairs live in dens and raise the pups (two to five) together. <br clear="all"> ====Buffalo==== [[Image:Buffalo Herd.JPG|thumb|240px|Herd of buffalo]] ''Syncerus caffer'' are fierce beasts; males may reach up to 700 kg in weight. They live in herds and have a strong social bond. They can form groups of up to several thousand members when the environment permits and groups are organized by dominant males and females. Predators are actively attacked to defend calves, injured or old members. Mothers give birth to 40 kg calves which are capable of walking shortly after birth. Calves are weaned after seven months, but stay close with their mum for 12 months. Their preferred habitat is savannah with thicket or open savannah, with protective properties. <br clear="all"> ====Dwarf mongoose==== [[Image:Ichneumon_Kruger_National_Park.JPG|thumb|240px|Playful Dwarf mongoose nearby a camp site]] ''Helogale parvule'' live in social groups with one dominant breeding pair and the rest of the group assisting with raising the offspring. The mongoose is active during daytime . They run quickly into their tunnels when they are frightened but they return quickly and are amusing to watch. They are often found close to streams, rivers, ponds, as well as along open camp sites surrounded by high grass and thicket. The mongoose lives on insects, small birds and eggs. <br clear="all"> ====Elephant==== [[Image:Elephant Walking.JPG|thumb|240px|Elephant walking]] Most authorities now recognize two separate species of African elephant—''Loxodonta africana'', the '''African bush elephant''', and ''Loxodonta cyclotis'', the '''African forest elephant'''. The bush elephant is the largest land mammal in the world; the forest elephant is the third-largest (with the related Asian elephant falling in between). Almost all elephant viewing in Africa is of bush elephants, whose typical habitat is far more open and accessible than the forest elephant's home range in the Congo Basin. ''Loxodonta africana'' are among the most common sightings in the Kruger National Park and you will be able to see them very close up. Amboseli in Kenya is famous for the biggest tusker in the world. For some it may be too close &mdash; it is definitely not for a fainthearted visitor. Bush elephants are the biggest land mammals in the world. A male can weigh up to 6,000 kg and a female up to 3,500 kg. They live in large family groups led by the most experienced females. Males are only tolerated until a certain age when they have to leave the family and often form bachelor groups. Males join the female group when they are in musth but only the strongest bulls are tolerated. Bush elephants can often be seen around rivers when they have a bath and a good sip of water. They must drink up to 160 litres of water and eat several hundred kilograms of plants per day to survive. Elephants are active at both day and night time. They are peaceful creatures and only become aggressive when they are wounded or when they feel driven to protect their young. <br clear="all"> ====Giraffe==== [[Image:Giraffe Walking Square.JPG|thumb|240px|Thornicroft's giraffe]] ''Giraffa camelopardalis'' are the tallest mammals on earth. Males reach a height of up to 5.2 metres and females 4.7 metres. Giraffes have a maximum mass of 1400 kg. In addition to the common giraffe, a subspecies known as '''Thornicraft's giraffe''', with white legs and faces, inhabits Zambia's [[South Luangwa National Park]]. Giraffes give birth after 450 days of pregnancy to a single calf of up to 100 kg and the calf can instantly stand on four legs and walks soon after. Giraffes live in loose family groups and newborn calves join the group after one week. Young giraffes grow fast and reach one meter in height within six months. Family groups can range in from 4 to up to 30 members, but the structure is loose and fluctuations are common. Giraffes are browsers and can reach leaves that are not accessible by any other ground-based mammal. To maintain such an enormous size as a herbivore, giraffes eat for up to 20 hours a day and rest only during the hottest hours of the day. <br clear="all"> ====Hippopotamus==== [[Image:Hippo Baby.JPG|thumb|240px|Juvenile and adult hippo]] ''Hippopotamus amphibius'' tolerate direct sunlight poorly, so during the day they are often spotted lurking in the river, little more than their nostrils visible. They come out to graze during the night. Hippo calves have a birth mass of around 30 kg and are dependent on their mothers for 5 months. After that, they start to graze. Hippos are said to account for more deaths than any other African mammal: keep well clear of these unpredictable beasts, and ensure that they have a clear path to retreat to water. <br clear="all"> ====Honey Badger==== [[Image:Africa-Honey Badger01.jpg|thumb|240px|Honey Badger at De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Sanctuary]] ''Mellivora capensis'' does not actually eat honey, but will raid bee hives for the larvae. These are tough little creatures that can even survive poisonous snake bites. <br clear="all"> ====Meerkat==== [[Image:Africa-Meerkat01.jpg|thumb|240px|Meerkat]] ''Suricata suricatta'' is a tiny mammal and part of the mongoose family. A group of meerkats is called a "mob" or "gang". Meerkat is a loan word from [[Afrikaans phrasebook|Afrikaans]]. The name itself came from Dutch but by misidentification. In [[Dutch phrasebook|Dutch]] meerkat (''as Meerkatze in [[German phrasebook|German]]'') means guenon, a monkey of the Cercopithecus genus which possibly derives from Sanskrit markata (monkey). The traders of the Dutch East India Company were likely familiar with such animals, but the Dutch settlers attached the name to the wrong animal at the Cape. In Dutch the name for the suricate is stokstêrtje ("little stick-tail"). According to African popular belief, the meerkat is also known as the sun angel, as it protects villages from the moon devil or the werewolf which is believed to attack stray cattle or lone tribesmen. They are fascinating to watch and you could easily do so for hours. These little rascals are also the stars of the highly acclaimed Animal Planet[http://animal.discovery.com/] program ''Meerkat Manor''. <br clear="all"> ====Pangolin==== [[File:Manis tricuspis San Diego Zoo 03.2012.jpg|thumb|240px|Tree pangolin (Manis tricuspis) in the San Diego Zoo]] ''Pangolins'' have large scales on their skin and their name is derived from the Malay word pengguling ("something that rolls up"). The physical appearance of pangolins is marked by large, hardened, plate-like scales. The scales, which are soft on newborn pangolins but harden as the animal matures, are made of keratin, the same material of which human fingernails are made. It can curl up into a ball when threatened, with its overlapping scales acting as armour. The scales are razor-sharp, and provide extra defense for this reason. The front claws are so long that they are unsuited for walking, and so the animal walks in a hunched-over manner on its hind legs, balanced by its large tail. The pangolin can also emit a noxious smelling acid from glands near the anus, similar to the spray of a skunk. Pangolins have short legs, with sharp claws which they use for burrowing. <br clear="all"> ====Rhinoceros==== [[Image:2_white_rhinos_small_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Rhino mother with Calf]] Africa has two species of rhino—''Ceratotherium simum'', the '''white rhino''', and ''Diceros bicornis'', the '''black rhino'''. They are among the rarest of all large African mammals. The most common subspecies is the southern white rhino, with an estimated wild population of over 20,000. The northern white, on the other hand, is all but extinct, with no known wild specimens and only two, both female, known in captivity (the last known male died in 2018). The black rhino has three surviving subspecies, with a combined wild population approaching 5,000. Hunted to near-extinction in the 1970s and 1980s, herds have been reintroduced into select parks around the continent and are now slowly growing again. There is no difference in colour between the "Whites" and the "Blacks". The White Rhino differs from the Black Rhinoceros because of the shape of its mouth – it is wide, for cropping large swaths of grass. According to one theory, the term "White" actually comes from the Afrikaans word "weit", meaning 'wide'. Calves can stand immediately after birth, but they are very slow at walking. After one month they can follow their mother grazing and stay close to their mother for up to three years. <br clear="all"> ====Warthog==== [[Image:Warthogs Eating.JPG|thumb|240px|Warthogs grazing]] ''Phacochoerus aethiopicus'' are medium sized mammals with a mixed diet. Warthog babies are born at the beginning of the rainy season (December-January) and live for the first 6-7 weeks in their burrow and then start to follow their mothers. Note their interesting habit of bending their front legs to graze! <br clear="all"> ====Zebra==== [[Image:Zebra Side.JPG|thumb|240px|Crawshay's zebra]] Africa features three species of zebra. The '''plains zebra''' (''Equus quagga'') is common in national parks throughout eastern and southern Africa and easily recognized due to its striking white and black stripes. It is currently divided into seven subspecies, of which six still exist (the quagga, ''E. q. quagga'', was hunted to extinction in the late 19th century). '''Burchell's zebra''' is one of the more common subspecies, with gray "shadow" stripes, while the rarer '''Crawshay's zebra''' (found in Zambia's [[South Luangwa National Park|South Luangwa]]) lack these. The '''mountain zebra''' (''E. zebra''), a separate endangered species, is found in the dry and hilly regions of southern Africa, notably the [[Mountain Zebra National Park]]. The third and physically largest species, '''Grévy's zebra''' (''E. grevyi''), found only in small parts of Kenya and Ethiopia, is even more endangered than the mountain zebra and is strongly protected in both countries. Some national parks in Kenya and Tanzania support groups of thousands of zebras. The mare leaves the herd to give birth to the foal and rejoins after birth. <br clear="all"> ==Reptiles== ===Crocodile=== [[Image:Crocodile Basking.JPG|thumb|240px|Crocodile basking in the sunshine]] ''Crocodylus niloticus'', the '''Nile crocodile''', live along rivers and are very successful hunters and eat whatever they can. They control their body temperature by lying in the sun to warm up in winter or to cool down in water in the hot summer. <br clear="all"> ===Leopard tortoise=== [[Image:Leopard_tortoise_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Leopard tortoise]] ''Geochelone pardalis'' can be best spotted on tarred roads (they are virtually invisible in the high grass from a car). They like to drink water from tarred roads. <br clear="all"> ==Birds== ===African Black Oystercatcher=== [[File:African Black Oystercatcher RWD1.jpg|thumb|240px|The African Black oystercatcher]] ''Haematopus moquini'' can be found along the [[South Africa]]n and [[Namibia]]n coastline. <br clear="all"> ===Blue Crane=== [[Image:Southern_Africa-Blue_Crane.jpg|thumb|240px|The Blue Crane]] ''Anthropooedes paradisea'' is the national bird of [[South Africa]] and also the symbol of the Zulu Royal House. Found almost exclusively in [[South Africa]] (''less than 100 still remain in [[Namibia]]''), these birds are under threat with populations declining rapidly and less than 30,000 remaining in the wild. <br clear="all"> ===Cape Sugarbird=== [[File:Cape Sugarbird (Promerops cafer) 2.jpg|thumb|240px|The sugarbird is fynbos-endemic]] ''Promerops cafer'' can be found in the [[Western Cape]]. <br clear="all"> ===Carmine-chested bee-eater=== [[Image:Coracias caudatus (Crop).jpg|thumb|240px|Carmine-chested bee-eater]] ''Merops nubicoides'' is an insect hunting bird that preys on insects such as bees and grasshoppers, easily recognized by its striking red chest and even more striking blue wings (only clearly visible in flight). It breeds in Zimbabwe and Transvaal, but can occasionally be seen in flocks of hundreds &mdash; a stunning sight. <br clear="all"> ===Crowned Plover=== [[Image:Unknown_bird_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Crowned Plover, Vanellus coronatus]] ''Vanellus coronatus'' <br clear="all"> ===Darter=== [[File:African darter in Chobe National Park 01.jpg|alt=|thumb|240x240px|Darter]] ''Anhinga rufa'' can be spotted close to dams, when drying their feathers from a previous dive. <br clear="all"> ===Fish eagle=== [[Image:AfricanFishEagle.JPG|thumb|240px|Fish eagle looking for prey]] ''Haliaeetus vocifer'' is a fish hunter and can be spotted along the Sabie river in South Africa. <br clear="all"> ===Ground hornbill=== [[Image:Southern Ground Hornbill KNP.jpg|thumb|240px|Group of four southern ground hornbills]] Both living species of '''ground hornbill'''&mdash;not to be confused with just "hornbill"&mdash; make their homes in Africa. These ground-dwelling birds grow up to about a metre in height and weigh about 2-6 kg when fully grown. The '''southern ground hornbill''' is slightly larger than the '''Abyssinian ground hornbill''', and has a less distinctive horn. Their ranges don't overlap much, so you can typically tell them apart based on location. Their plumage is generally black, with either red (males) or blue (females) colour on their throats. Both species are endangered and there are citizen-science tracking projects for enthusiastic travellers to help report about them. <br clear="all"> ===Helmeted guineafowl=== [[File:Helmeted Guineafowl RWD.jpg|thumb|240px|Helmeted guineafowl]] ''Numida meleagris'' can be spotted often in small groups along roads when they are picking insects or seeds. <br clear="all"> ===Hornbill=== [[File:Southern Yellow-Billed Hornbill 2019-07-25.jpg|thumb|Southern Yellow-Billed Hornbill in Etosha]] 24 species of '''hornbill''' are native to Africa. Hornbills are characterised by their long, frequently brightly-coloured, bills which curve down. These monogomous birds typically feed on fruit and small animals, with varying ranges &ndash; some prefer dense forests, whilst most prefer open woodlands and savanna or even semi-desert. Most species of hornbill in Africa are medium sized birds, typically around 40-80 cm in length. <br clear="all"> ===Ostrich=== [[File:Ostrich Ngorongoro 04.jpg|thumb|240px|Male ostrich in [[Ngorongoro Conservation Area]].]] The two existing species of ostrich—the '''common ostrich''' (''Struthio camelus'') and '''Somali ostrich''' (''Struthio molybdophanes'')—are the biggest birds on earth. They can grow up to two metres. They eat grass, berries and seeds and normally live in family groups. Males are coloured white and black, while females are of a brownish colour. The two species are distinguished mainly by the color of their neck and thighs—pink for the common ostrich, and greyish-blue for the Somali ostrich. They also differ in their habitat preferences; the Somali ostrich tends to feed by browsing in more thickly vegetated areas, while the common ostrich mainly grazes on open savanna. Ostrich eggs are the largest of any animal, weighing up to 1.4 kg/3.1 lb, but interestingly are the smallest of all bird eggs relative to the size of the adult. <br clear="all"> ===Redbilled oxpecker=== [[Image:Springbock_with_threadworm_eating_bird_on_its_back_Kruger_National_Park.JPG|thumb|240px|Impala with bird on its back (Redbilled oxpecker)]] ''Buphagus erythrorhynchus'' give relief to grazing animals by removing ticks from the skin of Kudu, Impala and Steenbok. <br clear="all"> ===Spottedbacked weaver=== [[Image:Spottedbacked_weaver_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Spottedbacked weaver]] This is a very colourful yellow bird with characteristic hanging nests. Breeding colonies can often be seen along rivers and birds often visit camps for some scraps of food. <br clear="all"> ===Saddlebilled stork=== [[Image:Saddlebilled_stork_in_the_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Saddlebilled stork]] ''Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis'' is easy to spot because of its colourful appearance and its size. It spends winter in the [[Kruger National Park|KNP]]. <br clear="all"> ===Secretary bird=== [[File:Secretary bird (Sagittarius serpentarius) 2.jpg|thumb|240px|Secretary bird in Masai Mara, Kenya.]] <br clear="all"> ==Marine Life== ===Penguins=== [[Image:South_Africa-Boulders_Beach-Penguins01.jpg|thumb|240px|African penguins (''Spheniscus demersus'')]] Penguins are common around the Southern African coast, especially in the colder waters of the Atlantic Ocean. A breeding colony can be found a stone's throw away from [[Cape Town]] at [[Boulders|Boulder Beach]] <br clear="all"> ===Whales=== [[File:Southern right whale.jpg|thumb|A breaching Southern Right whale]] A good place for [[whale watching]] is in [[Cape Peninsula]] and [[Overberg]], [[South Africa]]. <br clear="all"> ===Seals=== [[File:Arctocephalus pusillus (Cape fur seals).jpg|thumb|240px|A colony of Cape Fur Seals at Cape Cross on the Skeleton Coast, Namibia]] Seals can be found in many parts of [[Africa]] and often make themselves at home on the beach. <br clear="all"> ==Plants== ===Umbrella thorn=== ''Acacia tortillis'' is one of the best known trees from Africa. As its name suggests it is full of thorns and only specialist herbivores can eat its leaves without suffering from the thorn defence (see also Giraffe). <br clear="all"> ===Paperbark Thorn=== [[Image:Africa-Acacia_sieberiana_01.jpg|thumb|240px|Paperbark Thorn]] ''Acacia sieberiana'' is common throughout [[Southern Africa]] and is often the tree used to give photographs that ''[[Africa]]n'' feeling since the ''umbrealla'' it forms is generally very well defined. <br clear="all"> ===King Protea=== [[Image:South_Africa-King_Protea01.jpg|thumb|240px|King Protea]] ''Protea cynaroides'' The National flower of [[South Africa]]. <br clear="all"> ===Aloe=== [[Image:South_Africa-Aloe01.jpg|thumb|240px|Aloe field]] Aloe is common throughout [[Southern Africa]]. <br clear="all"> ===Weeping boer-bean=== [[Image:Weeping_boer-bean_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Weeping boer bean]] ''Schotia brachypetala'' is a tree that prefers wet ground and is commonly found on river banks and flowers only after years of good rainfall. Beautiful red flowers appear in September to October. <br clear="all"> {{related|Africa}} {{related|African_National_Parks}} {{PartOfTopic|Natural attractions‎|Africa}} == See also == * [[Zoos]] {{usabletopic}} {{RelatedWikipedia|Fauna of Africa|rel=y}} m8enb5a6yvibojr1djqrv1qkx2isyr5 4495991 4495988 2022-08-06T08:22:28Z Dale Arnett 737490 /* Ostrich */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Safari Kenya banner.jpg|caption=African buffalo in Kenya}} {{hatnote|See [[Safaris]] for practical advice on outdoor life in Africa.}} '''African flora and fauna''' is a highlight of trips to [[Africa]], especially on visits to the [[African national parks|continent's national parks]]. Going on a [[Safaris|safari]] is a common way to see it. Most of Africa is part of the '''Afrotropical realm''', together with the southern Arabian peninsula and a small part of Iran. [[North Africa]] is part of the '''Palearctic realm''', and contains [[Eurasian wildlife]]. The wildlife of the island country of [[Madagascar]] differs a lot from the mainland. [[File:Ecozone Afrotropic.svg|300px|thumb|The Afrotropical realm, marked in blue]] Many safari visitors are keen on seeing the '''Big Five''' — buffalo, [[elephants|elephant]], leopard, lion and rhino — but there is a lot more out there if you know where to look. {| style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto; text-align:center;" | '''Major wildlife regions'''<br>[[North American wildlife|North America]] • [[Central and South American wildlife|Central & South America]] • [[African wildlife|Africa]] • [[Eurasian wildlife|Eurasia]] • [[Wildlife in South and Southeast Asia|South & Southeast Asia]] • [[Australasian wildlife|Australasia]] • [[Wildlife of the Southern Ocean|Southern Ocean]] |} ==Mammals== ===Primates=== Africa is home to an extremely wide variety of primates, including all the extant great apes except the orangutan. Modern humans are also believed by most scientists to trace their origins to Africa. ====Baboon==== [[Image:ChacmaBaboon Walking.JPG|thumb|240px|Chacma baboon]] ''Papio ursinus'', also known as the '''common baboon''', lives in social groups guided by a dominant male. Newborn baboons are black and are carried around by their mothers. Later, they ride on the back of their mother and after three to four months they change color to the adult brown-grey. <br clear="all"> ====Gorilla==== Gorillas are divided into two species: eastern (''Gorilla beringei'') and western (''Gorilla gorilla''). Both are endangered, and both are only found (in the wild) in poor African countries. The most practical way of seeing gorillas in the wild is through organized tours in [[Rwanda]] or [[Uganda]]. To see western gorillas, the [[Republic of the Congo]] appears to be the best option. Outside of these organized tours/treks, not only do you have to get very lucky to see a gorilla, but you may have to deal with dangers both natural and human. See the following [http://www.wanderlust.co.uk/planatrip/inspire-me/lists/10-of-the-best-places-to-see-gorillas overview] of tour options. Gorillas can be found in zoos throughout the world. <br clear="all"> ====Vervet monkey==== [[Image:Vervet_monkey_in_the_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Vervet monkey]] ''Cercopithecus aethiops'' is a social monkey that lives close to rivers and feeds on leaves, fruits and insects. Family groups are up to 20 members strong. Newborn vervet monkeys are dependent on their mothers for three months, and from then on they become youngsters. <br clear="all"> ===Carnivores=== Meat-eating mammals are the kings of the bush. ====Cheetah==== [[Image:Cheetah 2003.JPG|thumb|240px|Cheetah]] Cheetahs (''Acinonyx jubatus'') are the fastest hunters in Africa, but you are quite lucky if you can see them very close because they tend to be hidden in the high grass. You don't see them in the dense thickets of South Africa whereas the savanna in Kenya and Tanzania allows for better viewing. Cheetahs usually travel alone or in small groups consisting of the mother and her offspring. They hunt in the cool hours of the day. Cheetahs reach a maximum speed of up to 100 km/h in a short and explosive burst and tackle their prey in a single attack. The preferred prey is Impala, but birds are on the lunch menu as well. <br clear="all"> ====Leopard==== ''Panthera pardus'' are famously elusive hunters that stalk their prey at night. For most visitors, the only chance of spotting one is on night drives, and Zambia's [[South Luangwa National Park]] (which allows night driving) is claimed by some to have the highest density of leopards in all of Africa. <br clear="all"> ====Lion==== [[Image:Lion Walking.JPG|thumb|240px|Lioness walking at dusk]] ''Panthera leo'' are common in the wider part of Africa and can be best seen in Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti and to a lesser extent in South Africa, nevertheless you have to be lucky to see them very close. Lions hunt early in the morning or in the night and during the day they allow themselves to be lazy. To see them in action you have to get up before the crack of dawn or you see them only resting after a big dinner. Their menu consists mainly of bigger mammals and zebras seem to be the favourite if available. Males often do not contribute to the hunting but they demand the "lion's" share and female youngsters have to wait until it is their turn. Lion cubs are dependent on their mothers for up to two years, and they start to hunt when they are about 11 months old. Lions are social cats, living in prides of 3-30 lions consisting of 1-4 males and several females. <br clear="all"> ====Spotted hyena==== [[Image:Hyena_Kruger_National_Park.JPG|thumb|240px|dozy hyena]] ''Crocuta crocuta'' has a bad reputation for no good reason. They are good at hunting and are not dependent on the leftovers from lions. They live in packs of 3-4 animals and can form larger groups as well. The leader of the pack is a female and they hunt often during the night but can be spotted during the daytime as well. They prey on insects, mammals such as zebras and wildebeest and sometimes they bring down a giraffe, or fight off lions from their catch. They tend to explore bins in national parks. Cubs are dependent on their mum's milk for 9-12 months and start to look after themselves within 15 months. <br clear="all"> ====African wild dog==== [[Image:South_Africa-Johannesburg-Lion_Park02.jpg|thumb|240px|African Wild Dogs]] ''Lycaon pictus'' live in packs of 10-15 members. Wild dog sightings are always a big event, so watch out for them because they are considered to be the rarest predator in Africa. Wild dogs are mainly active during the day and they hunt in the early hours or late afternoon. They prey on small mammals, Impalas, Springbok and occasionally buffaloes as well. The packs have hierarchical structures where only the dominant female has pups and the rest help to care for them. The pups are born in a den and they stay there for up to three weeks before they explore their environment. After five weeks the pups start to eat regurgitated meat and after 8-10 weeks they leave the den forever and follow the pack until they are about a year old. At that point, young females will leave their birth packs for new ones, while males will remain in their birth pack for life. Uniquely among the dog family, African wild dogs either lack the copulatory tie, or have a very short one, during mating. <br clear="all"> ====Black Backed Jackal==== [[Image:Southern_Africa-Black_backed_jackal.jpg|thumb|240px|Black Backed Jackal]] ''Canis mesomelas'' can be found throughout [[Southern Africa]]. <br clear="all"> ====Caracal==== [[Image:Africa-Caracal01.jpg|thumb|240px|Caracal at De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Sanctuary]] ''Felis Caracal'' <br clear="all"> ===Antelopes=== Antelopes are among the most common animals seen on safari, but there are numerous species that, to the untrained eye, can be difficult to distinguish. ====Bontebok==== [[Image:RSA_Bontebok.jpg|thumb|240px|A Bontebok in the [[Bontebok National Park]]]] ''Damaliscus pygargus pygargus'' are mainly found in the [[Western Cape]] of [[South Africa]]. They have white, light and dark brownish markings and are easily recognised. They live in herds. However, males leave the herd at a certain age and form in small groups of their own. <br clear="all"> ====Blesbuck==== [[Image:Africa-Blesbuck01.jpg|thumb|240px|Blesbuck at the Lion Park in [[Johannesburg]]]] ''Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi'', closely related to the Bontebok, Blesbuck are mainly found on the highveld region of [[South Africa]]. <br clear="all"> ====Blue Duiker==== [[Image:Southern_Africa-Blue_Duiker01.jpg|thumb|240px|Blue Duiker]] ''Cephalophus monticola'' is a small (''under 40cm shoulder height'') antelope found in forested areas throughout [[Southern Africa | Southern]] and [[Central Africa]] <br clear="all"> ====Blue wildebeest==== [[Image:RSA_Blue_Wildebeest.jpg|thumb|240px|Two Blue Wildebeest in high grass.]] Blue wildebeest (''Connochaetes taurinus'') are large antelopes that form small groups and are seasonal breeders. Offspring arrive from November to February and are born within the herd. Calves may be defended fiercely against any attacker. <br clear="all"> ====Impala==== [[Image:Impala Pair Drinking.JPG|thumb|240px|Male and female impala drinking at a waterhole]] ''Aepyceros melampus'' live in big herds and newborn lambs join the herd after 1-2 days. They are excellent sprinters and can outrun many predators. Males have impressive horns which are mainly used for fights over females rather than as a defence weapon. The impala can be distinguished from other antelopes by its distinctive backside, marked with white and black stripes that resemble the McDonald's logo. Impala are hunted by lions and leopards, although in reality they are hard to catch, because the whole herd will jump and run around, totally confusing the hunting animal. <br clear="all"> ====Kudu==== [[Image:Kudo_Kruger_National_Park.JPG|thumb|240px|Kudu during the hot daytime]] ''Tragelaphus strepsiceros'' is a big antelope and is very common in the [[Kruger National Park]]. Calves are born outside of the herd and are kept in a secret location for 1-2 weeks before they join the herd. They are loved in the national park but farmers hate them because a 2 meter high fence does not stop them from entering farm premises and eating the crops. <br clear="all"> ====Puku==== [[File:Kobus vardonii (male portrait).jpg|thumb|240px|Male Puku near South Luangwa National Park, Zambia]] ''Kobus vardonii'' are common in [[Zambia]], but not common elsewhere. Usually found in small herds of about half a dozen, puku have large lyre-shaped horns, reddish-brown fur and lack the backside markings of impala and waterbucks. <br clear="all"> ====Red Hartebeest==== [[Image:Africa-Red_Hartebeest01.jpg|thumb|240px|Red Hartebeest in the [[Krugersdorp]] Game Reserve]] ''Alcelphus buselaphus'' can be found in [[Botswana]], [[Namibia]] and [[South Africa]] <br clear="all"> ====Springbok==== [[image:Antidorcas marsupialis 2.jpg|thumb|240px|Springbok]] ''Antidorcas marsupialis'' Often mistaken for Impalas, because they look like a small Impala. However their colour is different and they prefer living in the wide open fields of the arid regions of southern and southwestern Africa. They are very difficult to spot, especially in high grass. <br clear="all"> ====Thomson's gazelle==== [[image:2009-thom-gazelle.jpg|thumb|240px|Male Thomson's gazelle]] ''Eudorcas thomsonii'' Essentially East Africa's equivalent of the springbok; the two are quite similar in size, coloration, and habitat preference. Probably the best-known of the gazelle species. <br clear="all"> ====Waterbuck==== [[Image:Waterbuck Male.JPG|thumb|240px|Male waterbuck with 'toilet seat' ring]] ''Kobus ellipsiprymnus'' is a medium-size antelope with grey-brown fur and distinctive backside markings. There are two types: one has white ring often likened to sitting on a just-painted toilet seat, while the other has a solid white circle. <br clear="all"> ===Other mammals=== ====Aardvark==== [[File:Porc formiguer.JPG|thumb|240px|Aardvark]] The Aardvark (''Orycteropus afer, sometimes also called antbear or anteater'') is a medium-sized mammal. The name comes from the Afrikaans/Dutch for ''earth pig'' ("aarde" earth, "varken" pig), because early settlers from Europe thought it resembled a pig. However, the Aardvark is not closely related to pigs. <br clear="all"> ====Bat-Eared Fox==== [[File:Bat eared fox Kenya crop.jpg|thumb|240px|Bat-Eared Fox]] The Bat-eared Fox is named after its huge ears. Bat-eared Foxes have tawny fur, their ears, legs and parts of the face are black. They are 55 cm in length (head and body), their ears are 13 cm long. It is the only species in the genus Otocyon. The teeth of the Bat-eared Fox are much smaller than teeth of other dog species. This is an adaptation to their insectivorous diet. 80% of the diet consists of insects. Bat-eared Foxes visit termite hills, follow locust swarms or stay close to herds of zebras or antelopes in order to feed on the insects landing on their excrements. In addition to insects Bat-eared Foxes eat rodents, birds and eggs, and sometimes fruits. Bat-eared Foxes are nocturnal animals that live in small groups consisting of a couple and their young. The pairs live in dens and raise the pups (two to five) together. <br clear="all"> ====Buffalo==== [[Image:Buffalo Herd.JPG|thumb|240px|Herd of buffalo]] ''Syncerus caffer'' are fierce beasts; males may reach up to 700 kg in weight. They live in herds and have a strong social bond. They can form groups of up to several thousand members when the environment permits and groups are organized by dominant males and females. Predators are actively attacked to defend calves, injured or old members. Mothers give birth to 40 kg calves which are capable of walking shortly after birth. Calves are weaned after seven months, but stay close with their mum for 12 months. Their preferred habitat is savannah with thicket or open savannah, with protective properties. <br clear="all"> ====Dwarf mongoose==== [[Image:Ichneumon_Kruger_National_Park.JPG|thumb|240px|Playful Dwarf mongoose nearby a camp site]] ''Helogale parvule'' live in social groups with one dominant breeding pair and the rest of the group assisting with raising the offspring. The mongoose is active during daytime . They run quickly into their tunnels when they are frightened but they return quickly and are amusing to watch. They are often found close to streams, rivers, ponds, as well as along open camp sites surrounded by high grass and thicket. The mongoose lives on insects, small birds and eggs. <br clear="all"> ====Elephant==== [[Image:Elephant Walking.JPG|thumb|240px|Elephant walking]] Most authorities now recognize two separate species of African elephant—''Loxodonta africana'', the '''African bush elephant''', and ''Loxodonta cyclotis'', the '''African forest elephant'''. The bush elephant is the largest land mammal in the world; the forest elephant is the third-largest (with the related Asian elephant falling in between). Almost all elephant viewing in Africa is of bush elephants, whose typical habitat is far more open and accessible than the forest elephant's home range in the Congo Basin. ''Loxodonta africana'' are among the most common sightings in the Kruger National Park and you will be able to see them very close up. Amboseli in Kenya is famous for the biggest tusker in the world. For some it may be too close &mdash; it is definitely not for a fainthearted visitor. Bush elephants are the biggest land mammals in the world. A male can weigh up to 6,000 kg and a female up to 3,500 kg. They live in large family groups led by the most experienced females. Males are only tolerated until a certain age when they have to leave the family and often form bachelor groups. Males join the female group when they are in musth but only the strongest bulls are tolerated. Bush elephants can often be seen around rivers when they have a bath and a good sip of water. They must drink up to 160 litres of water and eat several hundred kilograms of plants per day to survive. Elephants are active at both day and night time. They are peaceful creatures and only become aggressive when they are wounded or when they feel driven to protect their young. <br clear="all"> ====Giraffe==== [[Image:Giraffe Walking Square.JPG|thumb|240px|Thornicroft's giraffe]] ''Giraffa camelopardalis'' are the tallest mammals on earth. Males reach a height of up to 5.2 metres and females 4.7 metres. Giraffes have a maximum mass of 1400 kg. In addition to the common giraffe, a subspecies known as '''Thornicraft's giraffe''', with white legs and faces, inhabits Zambia's [[South Luangwa National Park]]. Giraffes give birth after 450 days of pregnancy to a single calf of up to 100 kg and the calf can instantly stand on four legs and walks soon after. Giraffes live in loose family groups and newborn calves join the group after one week. Young giraffes grow fast and reach one meter in height within six months. Family groups can range in from 4 to up to 30 members, but the structure is loose and fluctuations are common. Giraffes are browsers and can reach leaves that are not accessible by any other ground-based mammal. To maintain such an enormous size as a herbivore, giraffes eat for up to 20 hours a day and rest only during the hottest hours of the day. <br clear="all"> ====Hippopotamus==== [[Image:Hippo Baby.JPG|thumb|240px|Juvenile and adult hippo]] ''Hippopotamus amphibius'' tolerate direct sunlight poorly, so during the day they are often spotted lurking in the river, little more than their nostrils visible. They come out to graze during the night. Hippo calves have a birth mass of around 30 kg and are dependent on their mothers for 5 months. After that, they start to graze. Hippos are said to account for more deaths than any other African mammal: keep well clear of these unpredictable beasts, and ensure that they have a clear path to retreat to water. <br clear="all"> ====Honey Badger==== [[Image:Africa-Honey Badger01.jpg|thumb|240px|Honey Badger at De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Sanctuary]] ''Mellivora capensis'' does not actually eat honey, but will raid bee hives for the larvae. These are tough little creatures that can even survive poisonous snake bites. <br clear="all"> ====Meerkat==== [[Image:Africa-Meerkat01.jpg|thumb|240px|Meerkat]] ''Suricata suricatta'' is a tiny mammal and part of the mongoose family. A group of meerkats is called a "mob" or "gang". Meerkat is a loan word from [[Afrikaans phrasebook|Afrikaans]]. The name itself came from Dutch but by misidentification. In [[Dutch phrasebook|Dutch]] meerkat (''as Meerkatze in [[German phrasebook|German]]'') means guenon, a monkey of the Cercopithecus genus which possibly derives from Sanskrit markata (monkey). The traders of the Dutch East India Company were likely familiar with such animals, but the Dutch settlers attached the name to the wrong animal at the Cape. In Dutch the name for the suricate is stokstêrtje ("little stick-tail"). According to African popular belief, the meerkat is also known as the sun angel, as it protects villages from the moon devil or the werewolf which is believed to attack stray cattle or lone tribesmen. They are fascinating to watch and you could easily do so for hours. These little rascals are also the stars of the highly acclaimed Animal Planet[http://animal.discovery.com/] program ''Meerkat Manor''. <br clear="all"> ====Pangolin==== [[File:Manis tricuspis San Diego Zoo 03.2012.jpg|thumb|240px|Tree pangolin (Manis tricuspis) in the San Diego Zoo]] ''Pangolins'' have large scales on their skin and their name is derived from the Malay word pengguling ("something that rolls up"). The physical appearance of pangolins is marked by large, hardened, plate-like scales. The scales, which are soft on newborn pangolins but harden as the animal matures, are made of keratin, the same material of which human fingernails are made. It can curl up into a ball when threatened, with its overlapping scales acting as armour. The scales are razor-sharp, and provide extra defense for this reason. The front claws are so long that they are unsuited for walking, and so the animal walks in a hunched-over manner on its hind legs, balanced by its large tail. The pangolin can also emit a noxious smelling acid from glands near the anus, similar to the spray of a skunk. Pangolins have short legs, with sharp claws which they use for burrowing. <br clear="all"> ====Rhinoceros==== [[Image:2_white_rhinos_small_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Rhino mother with Calf]] Africa has two species of rhino—''Ceratotherium simum'', the '''white rhino''', and ''Diceros bicornis'', the '''black rhino'''. They are among the rarest of all large African mammals. The most common subspecies is the southern white rhino, with an estimated wild population of over 20,000. The northern white, on the other hand, is all but extinct, with no known wild specimens and only two, both female, known in captivity (the last known male died in 2018). The black rhino has three surviving subspecies, with a combined wild population approaching 5,000. Hunted to near-extinction in the 1970s and 1980s, herds have been reintroduced into select parks around the continent and are now slowly growing again. There is no difference in colour between the "Whites" and the "Blacks". The White Rhino differs from the Black Rhinoceros because of the shape of its mouth – it is wide, for cropping large swaths of grass. According to one theory, the term "White" actually comes from the Afrikaans word "weit", meaning 'wide'. Calves can stand immediately after birth, but they are very slow at walking. After one month they can follow their mother grazing and stay close to their mother for up to three years. <br clear="all"> ====Warthog==== [[Image:Warthogs Eating.JPG|thumb|240px|Warthogs grazing]] ''Phacochoerus aethiopicus'' are medium sized mammals with a mixed diet. Warthog babies are born at the beginning of the rainy season (December-January) and live for the first 6-7 weeks in their burrow and then start to follow their mothers. Note their interesting habit of bending their front legs to graze! <br clear="all"> ====Zebra==== [[Image:Zebra Side.JPG|thumb|240px|Crawshay's zebra]] Africa features three species of zebra. The '''plains zebra''' (''Equus quagga'') is common in national parks throughout eastern and southern Africa and easily recognized due to its striking white and black stripes. It is currently divided into seven subspecies, of which six still exist (the quagga, ''E. q. quagga'', was hunted to extinction in the late 19th century). '''Burchell's zebra''' is one of the more common subspecies, with gray "shadow" stripes, while the rarer '''Crawshay's zebra''' (found in Zambia's [[South Luangwa National Park|South Luangwa]]) lack these. The '''mountain zebra''' (''E. zebra''), a separate endangered species, is found in the dry and hilly regions of southern Africa, notably the [[Mountain Zebra National Park]]. The third and physically largest species, '''Grévy's zebra''' (''E. grevyi''), found only in small parts of Kenya and Ethiopia, is even more endangered than the mountain zebra and is strongly protected in both countries. Some national parks in Kenya and Tanzania support groups of thousands of zebras. The mare leaves the herd to give birth to the foal and rejoins after birth. <br clear="all"> ==Reptiles== ===Crocodile=== [[Image:Crocodile Basking.JPG|thumb|240px|Crocodile basking in the sunshine]] ''Crocodylus niloticus'', the '''Nile crocodile''', live along rivers and are very successful hunters and eat whatever they can. They control their body temperature by lying in the sun to warm up in winter or to cool down in water in the hot summer. <br clear="all"> ===Leopard tortoise=== [[Image:Leopard_tortoise_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Leopard tortoise]] ''Geochelone pardalis'' can be best spotted on tarred roads (they are virtually invisible in the high grass from a car). They like to drink water from tarred roads. <br clear="all"> ==Birds== ===African Black Oystercatcher=== [[File:African Black Oystercatcher RWD1.jpg|thumb|240px|The African Black oystercatcher]] ''Haematopus moquini'' can be found along the [[South Africa]]n and [[Namibia]]n coastline. <br clear="all"> ===Blue Crane=== [[Image:Southern_Africa-Blue_Crane.jpg|thumb|240px|The Blue Crane]] ''Anthropooedes paradisea'' is the national bird of [[South Africa]] and also the symbol of the Zulu Royal House. Found almost exclusively in [[South Africa]] (''less than 100 still remain in [[Namibia]]''), these birds are under threat with populations declining rapidly and less than 30,000 remaining in the wild. <br clear="all"> ===Cape Sugarbird=== [[File:Cape Sugarbird (Promerops cafer) 2.jpg|thumb|240px|The sugarbird is fynbos-endemic]] ''Promerops cafer'' can be found in the [[Western Cape]]. <br clear="all"> ===Carmine-chested bee-eater=== [[Image:Coracias caudatus (Crop).jpg|thumb|240px|Carmine-chested bee-eater]] ''Merops nubicoides'' is an insect hunting bird that preys on insects such as bees and grasshoppers, easily recognized by its striking red chest and even more striking blue wings (only clearly visible in flight). It breeds in Zimbabwe and Transvaal, but can occasionally be seen in flocks of hundreds &mdash; a stunning sight. <br clear="all"> ===Crowned Plover=== [[Image:Unknown_bird_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Crowned Plover, Vanellus coronatus]] ''Vanellus coronatus'' <br clear="all"> ===Darter=== [[File:African darter in Chobe National Park 01.jpg|alt=|thumb|240x240px|Darter]] ''Anhinga rufa'' can be spotted close to dams, when drying their feathers from a previous dive. <br clear="all"> ===Fish eagle=== [[Image:AfricanFishEagle.JPG|thumb|240px|Fish eagle looking for prey]] ''Haliaeetus vocifer'' is a fish hunter and can be spotted along the Sabie river in South Africa. <br clear="all"> ===Ground hornbill=== [[Image:Southern Ground Hornbill KNP.jpg|thumb|240px|Group of four southern ground hornbills]] Both living species of '''ground hornbill'''&mdash;not to be confused with just "hornbill"&mdash; make their homes in Africa. These ground-dwelling birds grow up to about a metre in height and weigh about 2-6 kg when fully grown. The '''southern ground hornbill''' is slightly larger than the '''Abyssinian ground hornbill''', and has a less distinctive horn. Their ranges don't overlap much, so you can typically tell them apart based on location. Their plumage is generally black, with either red (males) or blue (females) colour on their throats. Both species are endangered and there are citizen-science tracking projects for enthusiastic travellers to help report about them. <br clear="all"> ===Helmeted guineafowl=== [[File:Helmeted Guineafowl RWD.jpg|thumb|240px|Helmeted guineafowl]] ''Numida meleagris'' can be spotted often in small groups along roads when they are picking insects or seeds. <br clear="all"> ===Hornbill=== [[File:Southern Yellow-Billed Hornbill 2019-07-25.jpg|thumb|Southern Yellow-Billed Hornbill in Etosha]] 24 species of '''hornbill''' are native to Africa. Hornbills are characterised by their long, frequently brightly-coloured, bills which curve down. These monogomous birds typically feed on fruit and small animals, with varying ranges &ndash; some prefer dense forests, whilst most prefer open woodlands and savanna or even semi-desert. Most species of hornbill in Africa are medium sized birds, typically around 40-80 cm in length. <br clear="all"> ===Ostrich=== [[File:Ostrich Ngorongoro 04.jpg|thumb|240px|Male ostrich in [[Ngorongoro Conservation Area]].]] The two existing species of ostrich—the '''common ostrich''' (''Struthio camelus'') and '''Somali ostrich''' (''S. molybdophanes'')—are the biggest birds on earth. They can grow up to two metres. They eat grass, berries and seeds and normally live in family groups. Males are coloured white and black, while females are of a brownish colour. The two species are distinguished mainly by the color of their neck and thighs—pink for the common ostrich, and greyish-blue for the Somali ostrich. They also differ in their habitat preferences; the Somali ostrich tends to feed by browsing in more thickly vegetated areas, while the common ostrich mainly grazes on open savanna. Ostrich eggs are the largest of any animal, weighing up to 1.4 kg/3.1 lb, but interestingly are the smallest of all bird eggs relative to the size of the adult. <br clear="all"> ===Redbilled oxpecker=== [[Image:Springbock_with_threadworm_eating_bird_on_its_back_Kruger_National_Park.JPG|thumb|240px|Impala with bird on its back (Redbilled oxpecker)]] ''Buphagus erythrorhynchus'' give relief to grazing animals by removing ticks from the skin of Kudu, Impala and Steenbok. <br clear="all"> ===Spottedbacked weaver=== [[Image:Spottedbacked_weaver_KNP.JPG|thumb|240px|Spottedbacked weaver]] This is a very colourful yellow bird with characteristic hanging nests.

Literally and figuratively, it is at the heart of Turkey and of [[Central Anatolia]], the surrounding region. [[File:Panorama of Kavaklıdere from Anıtkabir.jpg|thumb|Modern cityscape of Ankara, as viewed from the path leading to Anıtkabir]] Ankara is a sprawling, modern city which can appear as little more than a dull, concrete jungle at first glance. Most non-local Turks view Ankara as a depressive and grey city with nothing in offer other than the boring world of politics and the dreary brutalist governmental buildings — many often liken the overall vibe to that of a blue-filtered Iron Curtain capital straight out of a [[Cold War]] film. Consequently, many tourists tend to use it merely as a transit point for getting to places like [[Konya]] or [[Cappadocia]]. However, Ankara does have a lot to offer for those prepared to look a bit deeper: as the proud capital of the Turkish Republic, it is easy to trace the steps of the early republican years here, whether it be in the shape of the fine buildings of the first national architecture movement or the 1940s monuments following the totalitarian aesthetics of the era. Local museums abound with some of the best pieces of art in the country, ancient and modern. And since it was built on the mostly barren Central Anatolian steppelands, Ankara vigorously pursued a policy of tree planting, which resulted in many parks and forestlands around it, adding to its charms. ==Understand== Ankara is the administrative hub of Turkey and a huge university town, so it has a large population of government workers and university students. As the national capital Ankara is home to a large population of foreign diplomats and embassy staff, it offers goods and services that might be more difficult to find in other Turkish cities; for example you will have no problem ordering a cappuccino or a hamburger. Its population is around 5.7 million (2018). Like most Turks, the locals are generally friendly and helpful to tourists. Ankara has a large university student population and many young people can communicate in English, but it's still a good idea to have a [[Turkish phrasebook]] or dictionary on hand. Apart from the old town in and around the citadel near Ulus, and unplanned shanty town neighbourhoods here and there built hastily by new immigrants from countryside since the 1960s, most of Ankara, which was a provincial town of 20,000 people in the early days of the Republic, is a purpose-built capital due to its strategic location at the heart of the country, although the history of settlement in the vicinity is millennia old. While the biggest claim to fame of the town used to be the long-haired local breed of goats named after the former name of the city ('''Angora'''), out of which high quality mohair textiles were produced, today the few places where you can spot them in the city is the lawns in some parks or at the sides of clover-leaf interchanges on the highways—in the form of cute sculptures. ===Orientation=== {{Climate|janhigh=2.8|aprprecip=51.1|octlow=5.6|novlow=0.6|declow=-1.7|janprecip=40.2|febprecip=35.4|marprecip=39.1|mayprecip=51.8|auglow=14.4|junprecip=34.7|julprecip=16.8|augprecip=12.7|sepprecip=18.0|octprecip=33.6|novprecip=38.5|decprecip=44.9|seplow=10.0|jullow=15.0|febhigh=6.1|octhigh=19.4|marhigh=11.7|aprhigh=16.7|mayhigh=21.1|junhigh=26.1|julhigh=29.4|aughigh=29.4|sephigh=25.6|novhigh=11.7|junlow=11.7|dechigh=5.6|units=metric|janlow=-4.4|feblow=-3.3|marlow=0.0|aprlow=5.0|maylow=8.9|jansnow =25.7|febsnow =17.5|marsnow =13.0|aprsnow =7.4|maysnow =1.8|junsnow =0|julsnow =0|augsnow =0|sepsnow =0|octsnow =0|novsnow =7.7| decsnow =18.8|description=}} [[File:Kızılay Square in Ankara, Turkey.JPG|thumb|right|Ankara: Kizilay square]] The city centre is around '''Kızılay Square''' (''Kızılay Meydanı'', named after the headquarters of the Red Crescent, the Turkish equivalent of the Red Cross, now replaced by a modern shopping mall) which has a fair number of transportation links to almost anywhere in the city. To the north, Kızılay Square is connected by a wide avenue, Atatürk Boulevard, to the squares of '''Sıhhiye''' (Ottoman Turkish for "sanitary works" as this has been the site of the building of the Ministry of Health since the foundation of the republic), marked by an unmissable Hittite monument in the middle of its roundabout, and '''Ulus''' ("nation", the site of the major institutions of the early years of the republic, such as the old parliament), which has a large equestrian monument of Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the republic, at its side. Ulus, the adjoining '''Hisar''' district around the hilltop citadel, and '''Hamamönü''' just south of it down the hill form the old town of Ankara. To the immediate south of Kızılay lies the upmarket (and uphill) districts of '''Kavaklıdere''', '''Gaziosmanpaşa''' and '''Çankaya'''. The city's most expensive hotels and restaurants are found in this region, as are most of the embassies and consular services. Southwest of Kızılay, past the aptly named '''Bakanlıklar''' ("ministries") district, İsmet İnönü Boulevard (named after the second Turkish president) leads into the area collectively known as '''Eskişehir Yolu''' (literally "the [[Eskişehir]] road"), which is lined by most of Ankara's large and afforested university campuses and the buildings of the administrative institutions, including the National Parliament. The area becomes exurbs several tens of kilometres out of the city, which eventually give way to the wide open steppe. ===Climate=== Ankara experiences a semi-arid, continental climate, with hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters. Similarly to most other continental climates, the season with the highest rainfall is spring, when afternoon showers and thunderstorms are common. Summers are fairly hot, and temperatures regularly see the 30°C mark, especially during July and August. Humidity is also quite low during the summer, which makes the heat more tolerable. Partly because of this low humidity, summer nights are often on the chilly side, with some nights being chilly enough that someone with light clothing might get uncomfortable. Winters, on the other hand, are quite cold and often snowy, even though the snow is generally not very heavy and extreme cold (below -20°C) is very rare. Night-time temperatures are often moderated by the remnants of Mediterranean humidity at this time of year, mitigating the extreme cold that is experienced further east in the country. Spring and fall are mild, but with chilly to cold nights. However, autumn is generally a better time to visit Ankara, especially early on in the season. This is because of the fact that spring is storm season in Ankara, when heavy afternoon thunderstorms occasionally cause flash flooding, damaging winds and hail. ==Get in== {{mapframe | 39.935 | 32.860 | height=600 | width=600 | zoom=14 }} <!-- {{mapshapes|Q748402}} --> <!-- Ankara Metro --> ===By plane=== [[File:Ankara Esenboga International Airport.jpg|thumb|Ankara Esenboga International Airport]] *{{listing | type=go | name=Ankara Esenboğa Airport | alt={{IATA|ESB}} | url=http://www.esenbogaairport.com/en-EN/Pages/Main.aspx | email= | address= | lat=40.1244 | long=32.9916 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Esenboğa International Airport | image=Airport lake style.JPG | wikidata=Q430490 | content=The only civilian airport in Ankara. There are few international flights: apart from Turkish Airlines (THY), only Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines and British Airways offer direct flights to their respective European hubs. Iran Air also has two weekly flights to [[Tehran]]. For other carriers flying into Turkey, a flight into Istanbul is necessary, followed by an air transfer to Ankara by Turkish Airlines or Anadolu Jet (a low cost brand of Turkish Airlines). }} The airport is about {{km|30}} north of the centre, and parts of the main road leading there are often congested, so allow sufficient time prior to departure. The only means of public transport are public buses numbered 442 (4 TL with one pass cards). It starts from the airport and follows a main artery to Ankara, passing through almost all central points, including train station, Kızılay, Aşti̇ (intercity bus terminal). You can expect it to be rather crowded and as they don't have separate sections for luggage, you might get exhausted at the end of the journey. [http://www.esenbogaairport.com/en-EN/to-from-the-airport/airport-transportation/page/havas-shuttle HAVAS ] provides a shuttle from Aşti̇ bus terminal every hour at :30 from 04:30 to 22:30 (1-hour trip, 11 TL as of Apr 2020).

A '''taxi''' would cost you around 100-140 TL one way, metered. === By train === Ankara is the eastern terminus of the Turkish YHT high-speed rail system, with frequent fast trains to [[Konya]], and via [[Eskişehir]] to [[Istanbul]]. Trains to Eskişehir and Konya take 90 minutes (with two continuing to [[Karaman]]) and those stations are within 3-5 km of their town centres, so they are easy day trips. Trains to Istanbul take 4½ hours; they also stop at Pendik, 25 km east of city centre and convenient for Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen airport (10 km, taxi or bus). From April 2022 the fare from Istanbul is 168 TL economy, 252 TL business; from Konya or Eskişehir it's 67 TL / 101 TL. An overnight train runs between [[Istanbul]] and Ankara. It leaves Istanbul Halkali nightly at 22:00, picking up at Söğütlüçeşme, Bostanci and Pendik plus nine other intermediate stations, reaching Sincan then Ankara before 07:00. The return service has similar times, taking about nine hours, and there are seats and sleepers plus a dining car. A slow train, the ''Bogazici Express'', departs Ankara around 08:00 and plods via Eskişehir (towards noon) to Arifiye for 14:30. It returns from Arifiye at 15:30, reaching Eskişehir after 18:00 and Ankara at 21:30. It stops at a dozen small intermediate places and you'd only catch it to reach one of those. To [[Izmir]], the Izmir Mavi leaves Ankara at 19:00 and takes 14 hrs overnight via Eskişehir and [[Kütahya]]; the return departs Izmir Basmane station at 18:00. Destinations east of Ankara are served by slow overnight trains. The main services are to [[Diyarbakir]] and Kurtalan (the ''Guney Kurtalan Express''), to [[Erzurum]] and [[Kars]] (the ''Dogu Express''), and to [[Tatvan]] (the ''Vangölü Express''), thence by dolmus to [[Van]]. From Van a train runs once a week to [[Tabriz]] and [[Tehran]] in Iran. Some of these trains have tourist versions. For instance the Tourist ''Dogu Express'' runs daily year-round from Ankara to Kars with long stops for sightseeing eastbound at İliç (for [[Kemaliye]]), [[Erzincan]] and [[Erzurum]]; the westbound train makes long stops at [[Divriği]] and Bostankaya. Total journey time is 30 hours; in 2022 these trains are suspended. For all times and reservations (strongly recommended) see TCDD Turkish Republic State Railways [http://www.tcddtasimacilik.gov.tr/ website]. A high-speed line is under construction from Ankara eastwards, and the first section to Kayseri and Sivas might open in 2022. The railway from Turkey to Georgia and Azerbaijan only carries freight, but passenger trains are expected to start in 2022. International trains to Syria and Iraq are all suspended indefinitely. * {{go | name=Ankara railway station | alt= | url= | email= | address=Hipodrom Cd | lat=39.9360 | long=32.8437 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | image=Ankara asv2021-10 img19 Railway station.jpg | wikidata=Q800389 | lastedit=2022-04-26 | content=The north side is the original 1930s [[Art Deco architecture|Art Deco]] station for conventional trains and Baskentray suburban lines, and quickest accessed off Hipodrom Cd.

The nearest metro station is [[File:AnkaraMetroLogo.png|15px]] Ulus. }} ===By bus=== If you are travelling from places other than Istanbul, you will find buses fast, inexpensive, and modern. Watch out for the drivers spraying your hands with lemon cologne if you do not like it. Most of the cities in Turkey have direct buses to the capital of Turkey. From Istanbul to Ankara, the bus trip takes around 6 hours and one way fare is between 55 and 85 TL. The fare varies by bus companies. Usually big companies like Pamukkale, Kamil Koç, Metro and Ulusoy have higher fares when other regional bus companies have lower prices. However, the trip takes around 8&nbsp;hours when you prefer these cheap regional bus companies. There are a lot of online services for buying tickets, but most of the time, companies' own websites offer lower prices. * {{listing | type=go | name=Ankara Intercity Terminal | alt=Ankara Şehirlerarası Terminal İşletmeleri ''AŞTİ'', pronounced "ahsh-tee"| url=http://www.asti.com.tr/ | email=info@asti.com.tr| address=Beştepeler Mh. | lat=39.91829 | long=32.81254| directions=connected to the Kızılay Square by the light rail: [[File:AnkarayLogo.png|15px]] 'AŞTİ' .

The arrivals are to the lower floor, and the departures from the upper floor, unless the service has Ankara as an interim stop — best to double check at the ticket counter. }} ==Get around== The city has a dense public bus network, a two-line subway called ''Ankara Metrosu'' and a single line suburban railway called ''Ankara Banliyö Treni''. For tourists, Ankara's public transit system, particularly the public bus network, can be difficult to figure out, because maps are rare and all information is in Turkish. Nor is there any access provided for disabled travellers in any form of public transport. Buses and metros tend to be very crowded during rush hours, especially on Mondays and Fridays. If you know the city well, public transportation, especially the metro, is an ideal, easy, quick and cheap way to get around particularly for longer distances. For shorter distances taxis are an easy, quick and cheap way to get around. ===By bus=== [[File:Tambilet 2006.jpg|thumb|EGO card]] There are two types of public buses in Ankara; those run by the Ankara Municipality named ''Ankara Belediye Otobüsleri'' (''EGO'') and those run by a private corporation named ''Ankara Özel Halk Otobüsleri'' (''ÖHO''). You can differentiate these two types by their colours. ''EGO''-run buses are white and blue while ''ÖHO''-run buses are blue. Both types of these public buses use the same bus network and bus stops. ====Ankara Municipal Buses==== The Ankara Municipal Buses, named ''Ankara Belediye Otobüsleri'' (''EGO''), consists of an extensive and dense bus network, and is owned and operated by the Ankara Municipality. Payment system for municipal buses is based on [http://www.ego.gov.tr/parts/egoucretvetarifeler.asp multi-use magnetic cards] which are also used for the metro; starting from the smallest available which is the 1-unit card which costs 1.65 TL, 2-unit cards which cost 3.30 TL, 3-unit cards which cost 4.95 TL, 5-unit cards which cost 8.25 TL, 10-unit cards which cost 16.50 TL and 20-unit cards which cost 33.00 TL. A free transfer with the magnetic cards is possible within a duration of 45 minutes between the bus lines and metro lines. The magnetic cards cannot be purchased in buses and have to be purchased beforehand at kiosks and metro stations. No stops and maps are displayed in the buses and bus stops nor announced by voice in the buses. However all current bus information is available online at the [http://www.ego.gov.tr/EN/indexEN.asp EGO English website]. In addition, apps for smartphones are available with the same functionality. ====Ankara Non-Municipal Public Buses==== The Ankara Non-Municipal Public Buses, ''Ankara Özel Halk Otobüsleri'' (''ÖHO''), consists of an extensive and dense bus network, operated by a private corporation. Payment system for non-municipal buses is with cash. The ticket, which is only a one-way ticket, is purchased in buses at a cost of 2.75 TL. Unfortunately, no stops and maps are displayed in the buses and bus stops nor announced by voice in the buses. ===By metro=== [[File:Ankara asv2021-10 img75 Yenimahalle metro.jpg|thumb|Ankara Metro allows for quick access.]] The Ankara Metro, named ''Ankara Metrosu'', consists of two metro lines, which are called ''Ankaray'' [[File:AnkarayLogo.png|15px]] and ''Ankara Metro'' [[File:AnkaraMetroLogo.png|15px]] which is owned and operated by the Ankara Municipality . The west–east light-rail line named ''Ankaray'' and the north–south heavy-rail ''Ankara Metro'' line are both mostly underground lines and intersect at Kızılay station. The ''Ankaray'' line runs between AŞTİ (the intercity bus station), Kızılay, and Dikimevi. The ''Ankara Metro'' line runs between the northwestern suburbs (Batıkent and Törekent among others) and those along the Eskişehir Highway in the southwest (e.g., Çayyolu) through Ulus and Kızılay. Another line serves the north (Keçiören). '''[http://www.ego.gov.tr/parts/egoucretvetarifeler.asp Payment]''' for the subway is based on multi-use magnetic cards which is also used for the municipal buses; starting from the smallest available which is the 1-unit card which costs 1.65 TL, 2-unit cards which cost 3.30 TL, 3-unit cards which cost 4.95 TL, 5-unit cards which cost 8.25 TL, 10-unit cards which cost 16.50 TL and 20-unit cards which cost 33.00 TL. A free transfer with the magnetic cards is possible within a duration of 45&nbsp;minutes between the bus lines and metro lines. The magnetic cards can be purchased at kiosks and metro stations. All stations are announced both on a display and by voice in the metros. ===By suburban railway=== Ankara Suburban Railway (''Ankara Banliyö Treni)'' consists of a single line, between Sincan and Eryaman in the west, through the city center, to Kayaş in the east. Trains run every 15 mins between about 06:00 and 22:00 [http://www.tcddtasimacilik.gov.tr/files/3/yolcu/baskentray.pdf]. The line is 37.0&nbsp;km long, all of it above ground, and has 24 stations. There's nothing of visitor interest near the outlying stations, but Eryaman is an interchange with YHT trains to Konya, Eskişehir and Istanbul Pendik. Buy tickets in cash at any station. A one-way ticket costs 1.70 TL and a return ticket costs 3.00 TL. The entire line was closed for over a year due to construction at Ankara station and surrounding tracks, but it re-opened in April 2018. It's owned and operated by Turkish State Railways. ===By taxi=== Taxis are numerous in Ankara and are recognizable by their yellow color and word ''Taksi'' on top of the car. All licensed taxis have the letter T in their license plates. The fare shown on the meter reads according to distance traveled. The ride will start at 4,60 TL, and the rate is 3.40 TL per kilometre. The rates for day and night are same. Tipping is not done other than rounding the fare to the next 50 kurus or 1 TL. Occasionally, some taxi drivers will refuse to start the meter and try to negotiate a fixed price, especially with tourists. But most taxi drivers will start taximeters at all times. You should avoid these cabs and simply take another one as you will almost certainly end paying too much. Many taxi drivers, even though very few of them speak a foreign language, will understand your requested destination and instructions. Tell them then to put the taximeter on. Taxi drivers do normally work with the taximeter, so they will not be surprised at all when you ask them to put it on. Emphasize to the taxi driver that you will pay for the meter price before getting in. Always try to stop a taxi that is passing by on the road or find a legitimate taxi stop. If you are not familiar with the city and see that you are a tourist, the taxi driver may drive a detour in order to charge you more. Insist on going to the destination that you want, and have a map to show them your destination, to avoid a detour. All taxis are required to have the designated license plate with the letter T apart from their yellow colouring. Be careful about what notes you hand them for payment; some taxi drivers have tried to pretend that the 50 TL note that was handed was just a 5 TL note. Occasionally taxi drivers may actually also rip notes you give them, and tell you it is no good, in order to make you hand them a 50 TL note. So, make sure the notes are not ripped, and is actually the right one before you hand them over. Do not buy their quick-sell tricks and also do not allow them to round the price up to the higher denomination. ===By car=== If you aren't used to Turkish driving habits, it's best to skip driving around in Ankara — the local drivers are fast, unpredictable and impatient (even by Turkish standards), and parking space is hard to come by to top it off. ==See== [[File:Ankara asv2021-10 img40 Kocatepe Mosque.jpg|thumb|Kocatepe]] ===Holy Places=== * {{see | name=Kocatepe Mosque | alt=Kocatepe Camii | url= | email= | address=Olgunlar Cd, Kızılay | lat=39.916667 | long=32.860556 | directions=[[File:AnkarayLogo.png|15px]] [[File:AnkaraMetroLogo.png|15px]] Kizilay N 1km | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Kocatepe Mosque | image=Ankara asv2021-10 img41 Kocatepe Mosque.jpg | wikidata=Q853935 | content=Built between 1967 and 1987, this mosque is built in a neoclassical Ottoman architecture style, and is an eclectic building. }} * {{see | name=Hacı Bayram Mosque | alt=Hacı Bayram Veli Cami | url= | email= | address=Sarıbağ Sk | lat=39.944444 | long=32.857778 | directions=near the Temple of Augustus - [[File:AnkaraMetroLogo.png|15px]] Ulus SW 0.7 km | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Hacı Bayram Mosque | image=Haci Bayram Mosque.jpg | wikidata=Q769575 | content=Restored by architect Mimar Sinan in the 16th century, with Kütahya tiles being added in the 18th century.

Around Sakarya str., there are various types of fish restaurants, from fast food to stylish ones and it can be a good opportunity to also try rakı, which is known as a companion of fish. But fish restaurants abound in the city; in Çankaya there are at least two excellent ones, "Akdeniz Akdeniz" and "Lazoli" featuring the first Mediterranean and the second Black Sea cuisine. "Ege", located close to Tunali street, is another excellent choice for fish and raki. The restaurant has also a variety of wines. If you want to listen good Turkish classical music while you eat and drink raki, then "Sudem" should be seen. It is located on Olgunlar Street. There are also plenty of cheaper restaurant options in Kızılay and Maltepe, selling fast food or kebaps, döner, lahmacun. In Çankaya, Tunali, GOP region you may find various types of Turkish cuisine and luxurious restaurants where prices go higher. Besides many classic iskender kebab restaurants there are also many restaurants featuring the traditional cuisine of a specific city, catering to the community of more affluent immigrants: from the spicy Urfa to the variety of vegetables coming with Adana kebab. Uludag Kebabcisi on Denizciler Caddesi in Ulus has been around for about sixty years and is a top of the line restaurant mainly serving Iskender kebap. Finally, as the national capital, Ankara has a large population of diplomats, and hence there are a number of "international" restaurants in Kavaklıdere and Çankaya (also where the majority of diplomatic missions are located). Prices tend to be on the steep side. ===Budget=== ====Around the Güvenpark==== * {{eat | name=Filiz Çay Evi | alt= | url= | email= | address=Cumhuriyet, Selanik Cd No:18/15 | lat=39.9215645 | long=32.8554655 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2022-05-01 | content=}} * {{eat | name=Meşhur Adıyaman Çiğköftecisi | alt= | url= | email= | address=Kocatepe, Ziya Gökalp Cd.

The Edge, Twister, Hayyami (wine bar) are nice places. Sakal on Kennedy Street is a unique place with electronic, reggae or retro (offering different kinds of music). On the same street Mono is pleasant place to drink. Tunus Street, parallel to Bestekar is another street where you may find many pubs like Retrox, Flat, James Cook and Zodiac. If Performance Hall, Manhattan, Overall and Siyah-Beyaz are places where you can drink and dance till 04:00 with live rock music. There normally are rock cover bands and a huge crowd, especially on Friday and Saturday nights in these places. "Sakarya" is full of the cheapest solutions. Among the best places in Sakarya, one should note "Net", which is a good choice not only take a glass of beer or raki, but also to eat. "Buyuk Ekspres" is also a nice old bar of the town. Also Eski-Yeni, Pasaj and Telwe are nice bars where you may find rock or alternative live music styles with cheaper drink prices compared to Tunali, Çankaya region. "Park Avenue" -in Konutkent district- is the new street for classy bars, cafes and night clubs. You may also find second branch of Kitir, Random & Crossroads in "Park Avenue". Istanbul's fashionable night club Sortie has also opened in this avenue and is a nice place to drink any kind of drinks and listen to latest club mixes. Narquilla is a great place to have your nargile while drinking beer and enjoying nice food. Also, there are meyhanes (tavern) in which fixed menus are served with drinks and classic Turkish music played. There are bars and restaurants also in the historic core of Ankara, close to citadel. You definitely have to go and return by taxi though. Don't expect a lively gay life of Istanbul in Ankara. No-one comes to Ankara for its amazing gay life, however you can still enjoy your time while you are here. It has only one gay bar-club (Sixties) and it is open only on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights. It gets pretty crowded after 00:00 and plays Turkish and Western pop music. In addition to that, though it is not a gay bar, Eski-Yeni Bar in Sakarya Caddesi (street) seems to attract a gay-lesbian crowd especially in its bottom floor. Kaos GL and Pembe Hayat, the leading queer organizations in Ankara, hold activities throughout the year. ==Sleep== ===Budget=== * {{sleep | name=Deeps Hostel | alt= | url=http://www.deepshostelankara.com | email= | address=Çankaya, Ataç-2 Sokak | lat=39.9219 | long=32.8602 | directions=[[File:AnkarayLogo.png|15px]],[[File:AnkaraMetroLogo.png|15px]]: Kizilay | phone= | tollfree= | checkin= | checkout= | price=from 85 TL | content= }} ===Splurge=== * {{sleep | image=Ankara Palas 1.JPG | name=Ankara Palas|alt= |url=|email=|address= |lat= |long= |directions=|phone=|tollfree=| fax=| price= | checkin=|checkout=|lastedit=2019-03-16|content=A historic hotel completed in 1927. }} * {{sleep | image=Ankara asv2021-10 img13 view from Atakule mall.jpg | name=Sheraton Hotel | alt= | url= | email=| address= | lat=39.8997 | long=32.8644| directions=Kavaklıdere district| phone=| price= | checkin= | checkout=| content=the most visible and glitzy hotel in Ankara.}} * {{sleep | image= | name=Hilton| alt= | url= | email=|address= | lat= | long= | directions=Next corner from the Sheraton| phone= | fax=| price= | content= }} * {{sleep | image=Ankara asv2021-10 img56 view from Gençlik Park Ferris wheel.jpg | name=Radisson | alt= | url= | email=| address= | lat= | long= | directions=near the train station - Metro Ulus | phone= | fax=| price= | checkin= | checkout=| content= }} * {{sleep | image= | name=Swissotel | alt= | url= | email=| address= | lat= | long= | directions=an obscure back alley in Çankaya | phone= | price=| content=}} * {{sleep | image= | name=Ramada | alt= | url= | email=| address=Tunalı Hilmi street | lat= | long= | directions=Kavaklıdere | phone= | fax=| price= | checkin= | checkout=| content= }} * {{sleep | name=King Hotel | alt= | url= | email=| address= | lat= | long= | directions=behind the Parliament, near the American Embassy | phone= | price= | checkin= | checkout=| content= }} * {{sleep | image= | name=Hotel Midas | alt= | url= | email=| address= Tunus Caddesi | lat= | long= | directions= north of Kavaklidere| phone=| price= | checkin= | checkout=| content=}} * {{sleep | name=Hotel Gold | alt= | url= | email=| address= Tunus Caddesi | lat= | long= | directions= north of Kavaklidere| phone=| price= | checkin= | checkout=| content=}} * {{sleep | name=Angora House boutique hotel| alt= | url= | email=| address= | lat= | long= | directions=Citadel district| phone= | fax=| price= | checkin= | checkout=| content=A charming place in an Ottoman era house. }} * {{sleep | image=Crowne Plaza Ankara.JPG | name=Crowne Plaza Ankara Hotel | url=http://www.cpankara.com.tr/en_index.php | email=| address=Mevlana Bulvarı No: 2, 06330, Akköprü | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= |hours= | price=| checkin= | checkout= | content=Next door to the 30 ha shopping center Ankamall. }} ==Stay safe== Ankara is probably one of the safest big cities you will ever visit. Most people, including single females, would very rarely encounter problems walking along the streets alone at night. Street crime is extremely rare, even late at night. However, "little crime" does not mean "no crime", and common sense should still be applied as anywhere in the world. Petty crime such as pickpocketing can occur especially in crowded areas. Therefore, one should always take care of their belongings and keep bags closed. The biggest danger for visitors is the road traffic, because there is little respect for pedestrians. Every road should be crossed carefully and very quickly. Even if pedestrian traffic lights show green, it is absolutely essential to have a watchful eye. At crosswalks definitely look out before crossing the street. Another danger for pedestrians, are the sidewalks because they are often in a very poor condition. Because of the poor or irregular renovation of pavements, many of them have loose paving stones and holes in the asphalt. The risk of tripping and hurting oneself should not be underestimated. Ankara Police Department has a "tourism police" section with staff multilingual in English, German, French, and Arabic. * {{listing | name=Tourism Police | alt=Turizm Polisi | url= | email= | address=Emniyet Turizm Şube Müdürlüğü, İskitler | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+90 312 384-0811, +90 312 384-0606, +90 312 6350-6353 | tollfree= | fax=+90 312 342-2227 | hours= | price= | content= }} ==Cope== ===Embassies=== Ankara is the national capital and most countries have an embassy (or equivalent consular service). These are useful if you need consular assistance from your own country, or need to obtain visas to other countries. The embassies are generally located in the suburbs just to the south of the city centre, such as Kavaklıdere, Gaziosmanpaşa and Çankaya. *{{Flag|Algeria}} {{listing |name=Algeria |url=http://www.algerianembassy.com.tr |email=cezayirbe@algerianembassy.com.tr |address=Şehir Ersan Cd 42, Çankaya |phone=+90 312 468 7593 |fax=+90 312 468 7593 |hours=M-Th 09:00-12:00 and 13:00-1700, F 09:00-12:00 and 13:00-16:00 |content= }} *{{flag|Australia}} {{listing | name=Australia |url=http://turkey.embassy.gov.au | address=7 Büyükesat Mh, Uğur Mumcu Cd, MNG Binası 88 | phone=+90 312 459 9500 | fax=+90 312 446 4827 | content= }} * {{flag|Austria}} {{listing|name=Austria |url=http://www.bmeia.gv.at/ankara |email=ankara-ob@bmeia.gv.at |address=Atatürk Blv 189, Kavaklıdere |lat=|long= |directions= |phone=+90 312 405-5190 |fax=+90 312 418-9454 |hours=M–Th 08:15–16:30, F 09:00–16:00 }} *{{flag|Bangladesh}} {{listing | name=Bangladesh |url=http://www.bangladootankara.org.tr |email=bdootankara@ttmail.com | address=Birlik Mh, 391.

It links various historical and natural attractions. {{marker|type=around|wikidata=Q631170|name=Ayaş}} is the first town westwards, {{km|60}} from Ankara. It's unpretentious, and is yet to receive visitors in any significant numbers, but its downtown full of historic mosques, and half-timbered and whitewashed Ottoman houses cascading down a hillside is well worth diverging from the main highway. {{anchor|Beypazarı}} Next, {{marker|type=around|wikidata=Q794382|name=Beypazarı}} ("lord's market"), at {{km|100}} from Ankara, is in a complete disparity in taking advantage of its old town, thanks to the restoration and publicity efforts made during the mayorship (1999–2009) of Mansur Yavaş, who started to serve as the metropolitan mayor of Ankara in 2019. The town's lively bazaar seems to be oriented towards tourist trade by and large, with shops offering regional cuisine (cracker-like bakery ''Beypazarı Kurusu'' is nationally famous) and souvenirs, although those dedicated to traditional professions here and there help disseminate the touristy atmosphere somewhat. Approaching Çayırhan, the landscape becomes industrial: rusty mining equipment dot the barren hillsides, huge conveyor belts across the valley try their best to suppress the never-ending hunger of the local coal power plant, and trucks whisk away soda ash and baking soda from the trona reserves second largest in the world (after [[Southwest Wyoming]], where the local geography is reminiscent of). {{marker|type=around|wikidata=Q5250125|name=Çayırhan}}, {{km|125}} from Ankara, was one of the way stations of the old trade route (the ''-han'' suffix in the name denotes a caravanserai, long lost). It's in a lakeside setting, on Sarıyar Dam, where you can take a boat trip to the scant ruins of {{marker|type=around|wikidata=Q1675454|name=Juliopolis}}, but otherwise the town is unremarkable — it is completely modern-built, after the town was relocated to its present site in the 1970s due to the dam construction. {{anchor|Nallıhan}} [[File:Davutoğlan kuş cenneti.jpg|thumb|350px|The 'Rainbow Hills']] Proceeding west, the scenery improves. The {{marker|type=around|lat=40.1057|long=31.5983|url=http://www.nallihan.gov.tr/kus-cenneti|name=Nallıhan Bird Reserve}} (''Nallıhan Kuş Cenneti'') is {{km|133}} from Ankara. It's centred on the wetlands in a northern extension of the Sarıyar Dam lake, with a visitor centre and [[birdwatching]] facilities. However, even if you don't have any interest in birds, stop by to enjoy the view of Mt Kıztepe across the water — an eroded massif of contrastingly coloured layers straight out of a painter's palette; it's no wonder the tourism professionals love to call it the Rainbow Hills. Across a wide open country with numerous other strikingly coloured hills, it's worth straying off the highway {{km|10}} south to {{marker|type=around|wikidata=Q5374792|name=Emremsultan}}, {{km|160}} from Ankara. The village is the site of the shrine of Taptuk Emre, a medieval Sufi thinker who established a farming community here. His most famous disciple was Yunus Emre (1238–1328), considered to be the national poet of Turkey (his likeness is depicted in 200 TL banknotes, the highest denomination as of 2022), and who spent his youth here. {{marker|type=around|wikidata=Q1947523|name=Nallıhan}}, {{km|160}} from Ankara, was another way station. Its caravanserai, Kocahan, still serves the travellers although the focus is now on local food and souvenirs than taking care of weary traders and their camel trains. There is also a late Ottoman mosque nearby. West from Nallıhan, the area becomes mountainous and covered with forests growing denser and denser. The highway eventually connects to Akyazı, southeast of [[Adapazarı]] on the modern Istanbul–Ankara highway, through the thermal resort at Kuzuluk. Another road branches off westbound to [[Bolu#Go next|Göynük]] and [[Eastern Marmara|Taraklı]], both well-preserved old towns. ===South=== {{mapframe|39.34|33.19|zoom=8|height=300|width=350|name=South of Ankara}} {{marker|type=around|wikidata=Q4810216|name=Lake Mogan}} (''Mogan Gölü'') is {{km|20}} away from the city centre, by the suburb of Gölbaşı. [https://www.anfa.com.tr/hizmetlerimiz/parklarimiz/mogan-parki/ Mogan Park] is a large recreational area on the western rim (5 TL access fee for cars, 2022), with numerous waterside cafes and picnic areas. {{marker|type=around|wikidata=Q1020642|name=Haymana}} stands on a namesake plateau {{km|80}} from Ankara. The swimwear and towels hanging from the shops in its centre give it a surprising beach town feel — its hot springs have been famous since the Middle Ages, but the facilities downtown seem decrepit. {{anchor|Tuz Gölü}} {{marker|type=around|wikidata=Q211823|lat=39.0726|long=33.4055|name=Tuz Gölü}}, literally "salt lake" (also designated as Lake Tuz in English), is the second largest lake in Turkey, yet very shallow, and has a salinity level almost 10 times that of ocean water — the last and hypersalinated remnant of a much larger prehistoric sea. During the height of summer the lake completely dries up leaving behind a crusty salt pan, so it's best to visit in spring to wade across its ankle-deep water and treat your feet a nice exfoliation, and if the weather is right, the views are almost dreamlike. The access is through a roadside [https://www.facebook.com/Tuzg%C3%B6l%C3%BC-Tesisleri-Tuz-M%C3%BCzesi-177689143177919 business] advertised by large signposts on the approach to Şereflikoçhisar, at {{km|130}} from Ankara close to the northern lakehead, and is free; on the way out you are welcome but by no means compelled to buy souvenirs such as salt soaps (30 TL, 2022) or packs of unrefined salt (from 15 TL) — if that sounds overpriced (and it is), go to any Turkish grocery store to grab a pack of salt for a fraction of that price and it is more than 60% certainty that it comes from this lake. There is also an associated cafe and restaurant. {{anchor|Kaman}} East from Tuz Gölü across the Kızılırmak Valley is {{marker|type=around|wikidata=Q1074968|name=Kaman}}, {{km|180}} from Ankara. The town is mildly famous for its walnuts regionally but is otherwise undistinguished. Even so, head further {{km|8}} east to {{marker|type=around|wikidata=Q10839246|name=Çağırkan}} for the wonderful [http://www.kaman.gov.tr/japon-bahcemiz Prince Mikasa Memorial Garden] (free entry), a hillside [[Japanese gardens|Japanese garden]] combining all traditional design elements. The perimeter of the garden, which seamlessly morphes into the barren outcrops towering over, is marked by serene Scots pine stands, all in a great contrast with the open fields and the arid steppelands below. Its supposedly unlikely location is due to the excavations conducted by Japanese archaeologists at the Kalehöyük mound next door; the finds are exhibited in an adjacent museum. ==Go next== * {{listing | name=Gordion | alt= | url= | email=| address=Yassihoyuk,|lat= |long= | directions=96&nbsp;km west. - near [[Polatlı]] off the highway to [[Eskişehir]]| phone= | hours= | price=| content=This is one of the most important ancient cities in Turkey and is from Ankara in.

The continent is too massive and diverse to conceptualize as a single digestible travel "destination". Travel options range widely, from the desert ruins and modern mega-malls of the [[Middle East]] to the magnificent ancient monuments and giant mountains in [[South Asia]], from the beach bungalows and jungle treks of [[Southeast Asia]] to the mega-cities and technology capitals of [[East Asia]]. [[File:TajMahal.jpg|250px|thumb|The Taj Mahal in [[Agra]], [[India]]]] Asia gets a tremendous number of travellers, both for tourism and business. Many of the world's most-visited cities are in Asia, including [[Bangkok]], [[Beijing]], [[Dubai]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Jerusalem]], [[Mumbai]], [[Seoul]], [[Singapore]], and [[Tokyo]]. Asia offers intriguing destinations for every type of traveller, be they a novice or an experienced road-warrior. Easier options include modern, prosperous countries like [[Japan]] and the East Asian Tigers of Singapore, Hong Kong, [[Taiwan]], and [[South Korea]], where people enjoy very high standards of living. There are also poor Asian countries with significant levels of malnutrition, such as [[Cambodia]], [[Afghanistan]], [[Laos]], and [[East Timor]]. Some countries are well-established on the budget tourist trail, including [[Thailand]], [[Vietnam]], and [[Indonesia]]. There are countries that strictly restrict tourism to certain regions or types of tourism, such as [[Bhutan]] and the [[Maldives]]. [[North Korea]] and [[Turkmenistan]], easily the world's most isolated and repressive states, take it even further, with constantly-watched group tours dedicated to their "great leaders". Of course, there are also many countries lying somewhere in the middle, which is where one might place the emerging powerhouses of [[China]] and [[India]]; those huge, populous lands make wonderful travel destinations in themselves due to their long history, traditions and diversity. ==Regions== {{Worldimagemap/Asiaimagemap}} {{Regionlist |region1name=[[Caucasus]] |region1color=#bf82d8 |region1items=[[Abkhazia]], [[Armenia]], [[Azerbaijan]], [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], [[Nagorno-Karabakh]], [[South Ossetia]] |region1description=The Caucasus is a mountainous range connecting Europe and the Middle East, with a living heritage from ancient times. |region2name=[[Central Asia]] |region2color=#43aad2 |region2items=[[Afghanistan]], [[Kazakhstan]], [[Kyrgyzstan]], [[Tajikistan]], [[Turkmenistan]], [[Uzbekistan]] |region2description=The center of the [[Silk Road]], these countries offer spectacular landscapes from deserts to mountains and true adventure in the footsteps of [[Marco Polo]], with many ancient mosques as well as Soviet architecture. |region3name=[[East Asia]] |region3color=#d5b66b |region3items=[[China]] (mainland), [[Hong Kong]], [[Japan]], [[Macau]], [[Mongolia]], [[North Korea]], [[South Korea]], [[Taiwan]] |region3description=The perfect dichotomy of old versus new, the biggest of mega-cities at the front-end of technological development combines with well-preserved temples and sites of the ancient cultures and philosophies still present in everyday society.

For cultural and historical reasons, some parts of the Caucasus are considered European. The Bosphorus bisecting [[Istanbul]] is also regarded as the border between Asia and Europe. [[Sinai]] is geographically in Asia but politically a part of Egypt. And at the other end of Asia, the continental plate of Australia also includes parts of [[Indonesia]], which is generally counted as part of [[Southeast Asia]]. Similarly, the island of [[Cyprus]] is geographically part of Asia, but usually considered part of Europe. ==Cities== [[File:Commuting to Work.jpg|250px|thumb|Tiananmen Square in [[Beijing]], [[China]]]] <!-- THIS LIST ONLY ALLOWS A MAXIMUM OF 9 CITIES.

It is also home to the world's fastest growing cities, a wide range of exotic cuisines, the world's highest mountain ranges and some of the world's most ancient cultures. ===Geography=== Asia is by far the largest continent and as such is extremely varied geographically. Asia contains virtually every possible climate and terrain from the frozen plains of Siberia to the jungles of Indonesia to the deserts of Arabia. [[File:Everest North Face toward Base Camp Tibet Luca Galuzzi 2006.jpg|thumbnail|All summits above 7,000 m, including the pictured Mt Everest, are in Asia]] Asia's (and the world's) highest point is Mount Everest, in the [[Himalayas]] along the border of [[Tibet]] and [[Nepal]], which rises to {{m|8,848}} above sea level. Its lowest point is the [[Dead Sea]], located at the meeting points of [[Israel]], [[Palestine]] and [[Jordan]], whose surface is {{m|400}} below sea level. Asia's longest river is the [[Along the Yangtze River|Yangtze]], which runs {{km|6,300}} through [[China]] all the way from the high Tibetan Plateau to [[Shanghai]]. Its largest lake is the 386,400&nbsp;km² (149,200&nbsp;square mile) Caspian Sea, which is surrounded by several Central Asian nations. Asia is bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the east, by [[Australia]] to the southeast, and by the Indian Ocean to the south. It is bordered by the Red Sea to the southwest, by [[Europe]] and the Urals to the west, and by the Arctic Ocean to the north. East Asia (China, Japan, Korea) is relatively temperate with distinct seasonal differences. South and South East Asia (Thailand, Indonesia, India, Burma etc.) has a monsoon climate. Generally hot all year round but with a wet and dry season. Most of Asia's rainforests and beaches are to be found here. West Asia (Iran, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon etc.) is hot and often dry. Winters can be mild but summer can be extremely hot. Central and north Asia have continental climate with the coldest winters outside Antarctica and hot summers; in some places the difference between all-time highs and lows can be over 100°C. ===History=== The history of Asia is long, complex and diverse enough that some universities have whole departments devoted to it and a full account would be a multi-volume work. Even a reasonable summary would be much more than a travel guide could sensibly attempt. Most of our country articles, and some region or city articles, include summaries of the relevant history. Consult those for basic information, or see Wikipedia, other sites, or a library for more detail. Most Wikivoyage articles include a link to the corresponding Wikipedia article; it is found in the menu to the left of the text.

We can however detail the major groups you are likely to encounter: * Sino-Tibetan — The Chinese languages ([[Chinese phrasebook|Mandarin]], [[Cantonese phrasebook|Cantonese]], [[Minnan phrasebook|Minnan]] etc.), [[Burmese phrasebook|Burmese]], [[Tibetan phrasebook|Tibetan]] and [[Dzongkha phrasebook|Dzongkha]], as well as [[Meitei phrasebook|Meitei]] (Manipuri) and some other languages in [[North-Eastern India]]. * Turkic — [[Turkish phrasebook|Turkish]], [[Azerbaijani phrasebook|Azerbaijani]], [[Uyghur phrasebook|Uyghur]], [[Turkmen phrasebook|Turkmen]], [[Kazakh phrasebook|Kazakh]], [[Kyrgyz phrasebook|Kyrgyz]], [[Uzbek phrasebook|Uzbek]] and several local languages throughout [[Siberia]] * Semitic — [[Arabic phrasebook|Arabic]] is spoken in Arab countries throughout the Middle East, and [[Hebrew phrasebook|Hebrew]] is spoken in [[Israel]]. * Indo-European — a huge group that includes most of the languages of Europe plus some in Asia ** Iranian — [[Persian phrasebook|Persian]], [[Pashto phrasebook|Pashto]], [[Tajik phrasebook|Tajik]], and [[Kurdish phrasebook|Kurdish]] are widely spoken in the Middle East and Central Asia. ** Indo-Aryan — [[Hindi phrasebook|Hindi]], [[Urdu phrasebook|Urdu]], [[Bengali phrasebook|Bengali]], [[Punjabi phrasebook|Punjabi]], [[Marathi phrasebook|Marathi]], [[Gujarati phrasebook|Gujarati]], [[Sinhala phrasebook|Sinhala]], [[Sindhi phrasebook|Sindhi]] and [[Nepali phrasebook|Nepali]] are found through much of the [[South Asia|Indian sub-continent]]. ** [[Armenian phrasebook|Armenian]] is the official language of [[Armenia]], and also spoken by the ethnic Armenian minorities in neighbouring countries such as [[Turkey]], [[Iran]], [[Iraq]] and [[Russia]]. ** [[Russian phrasebook|Russian]], spoken in Asiatic Russia and serving as a lingua franca in much of the [[Caucasus]] and [[Central Asia]]. Also the most widely spoken foreign language in [[Mongolia]] ** [[Portuguese phrasebook|Portuguese]] is an official language in [[Macau]] and [[East Timor]], where it is spoken by a significant minority. It is also spoken by a small, mainly upper class, community in [[Goa]], while a Portuguese-based creole is spoken by the Portuguese Eurasian community in [[Malacca]]. * Dravidian — A distinct language group of South Indian languages including [[Tamil phrasebook|Tamil]], [[Kannada phrasebook|Kannada]], [[Malayalam phrasebook|Malayalam]] and [[Telugu phrasebook|Telugu]]. These are completely unrelated to the north Indian languages such as Hindi and Urdu, though they contain a number of loan words from Sanskrit. * Tai–Kadai — [[Thai phrasebook|Thai]] and [[Lao phrasebook|Lao]] are spoken in [[Thailand]] and Laos respectively. Other languages in this family are spoken by ethnic minorities in Myanmar, Vietnam and China. * Austroasiatic — [[Vietnamese phrasebook|Vietnamese]] and [[Khmer phrasebook|Khmer]] are spoken in [[Vietnam]] and [[Cambodia]] respectively. Other languages in this family are spoken by ethnic minorities in Myanmar, Thailand and China. * [[Austronesian]] — [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]] and [[Indonesian phrasebook|Indonesian]] are mostly mutually intelligible; most other local languages in Malaysia and Indonesia such as [[Javanese phrasebook|Javanese]], [[Sundanese phrasebook|Sundanese]], [[Balinese phrasebook|Balinese]], [[Iban phrasebook|Iban]] and Kadazan are not mutually intelligible, but also belong to the same language family. Most languages of the Philippines &mdash; the most important are [[Filipino phrasebook|Tagalog]] and [[Cebuano phrasebook|Cebuano]] &mdash; are also in this group. [[Tetum phrasebook|Tetum]], the main language spoken in [[East Timor]], also falls in this family. Other Austronesian languages are spoken in [[Madagascar]], throughout the Pacific islands, and by the Taiwanese Aboriginal people. * Mongolic — [[Mongolian phrasebook|Mongolian]], as the name suggests, and some minority languages in Russia such as [[Buryat phrasebook|Buryat]] and [[Kalmyk phrasebook|Kalmyk]] Asia has a few significant isolated languages not proven to be related to others including [[Korean phrasebook|Korean]], [[Japanese phrasebook|Japanese]] (except the Ryukyuan languages spoken in the [[Okinawa|Ryukyu Islands]]) and [[Georgian phrasebook|Georgian]]. ==Get in== ===By plane=== [[File:Dubai - International (DXB - OMDB) AN1204297.jpg|thumbnail|[[DXB|Dubai International]] boasts nonstop flights to all inhabited continents]] Asia's busiest airports include '''[[Hong Kong]]''' ({{IATA|HKG}}), '''[[Dubai]]''' ({{IATA|DXB}}), '''[[Beijing]]''' ({{IATA|PEK}}), '''[[Singapore]]''' ({{IATA|SIN}}), '''[[Kuala Lumpur]]''' ({{IATA|KUL}}), '''[[Bangkok]]''' ({{IATA|BKK}}), '''[[Seoul]]''' ({{IATA|ICN}}), '''[[Tokyo]]''' ({{IATA|NRT}}, {{IATA|HND}}) and '''[[Jakarta]]''' ({{IATA|CGK}}). If you're heading to anywhere in Asia, chances are that you'll pass through at least one of these airports whether in transit or as a final stop. Fortunately for those with long transit times, they are some of the best equipped airports in the world, known for their efficient service and ample distractions. Additionally, [[Shanghai]] ({{IATA|PVG}}), [[Guangzhou]] ({{IATA|CAN}}), [[New Delhi]] ({{IATA|DEL}}), [[Mumbai]] ({{IATA|BOM}}) and [[Chennai]] ({{IATA|MAA}}) are major hubs for travel to China and the Indian sub-continent. For the Middle East, [[Doha]] ({{IATA|DOH}}) and [[Abu Dhabi]] ({{IATA|AUH}}) also have reasonably good connections. ===By train=== If you are coming to Asia by train, you'll likely be coming in through [[Russia]] or [[Turkey]], although other options may exist. For an interesting experience, try the '''[[Trans-Siberian Railway]]''', or alternatively some of the lines from Moscow to Central Asia. ===By boat=== Asian ports are cruise destinations, and various companies such as [http://www.royalcaribbean.com Royal Caribbean] and [http://www.princess.com/learn/destinations/australia/cruises/zaa.jsp Princess] run cruises from [[Australia]], while [http://www.hollandamerica.com/ Holland America] travels across the Pacific from [[North America]]. [[Freighter travel]] is another option, including if you wish to travel to ports in the Asian part of Mediterranean. Coming from Africa [[sea piracy]] is a threat to take seriously. Piracy in the Strait of Malacca has declined, but may still be relevant. As the Bosporus is considered to be the boundary between Europe and Asia, one of the various ferries in Istanbul can also get you into Asia. There is ferry access from Asia to Africa and reverse via Jordan and Egypt. As of 2019 Ferries still connect African Egypt with Asia via ABMarine. However you will not be permitted to leave Sinai into the rest of Africa unless you take the Nuweiba, Egypt ferry from Aqaba, Jordan.<!-- Source: ab-marine.com and personally made this trip.--> Leaving Asia to Africa via Israel, will cause you to not be able to leave Sinai into the rest of Africa as you can not get permission to go further into Africa when using the Israeli borders or even the Taba, Egypt port as well. The Nuweiba ferry is the only way to go if you want to travel via ferry and land to Africa. If you enter Asia this route, several nationalities can enter visa-free as long as you exit Jordan via the same city within 30 days because of the AZEA Trade Agreement. ===On foot=== Some cities, including [[Yekaterinburg]] and [[Istanbul]] are built across what is commonly considered the dividing line between Europe and Asia and you can comfortably walk across that line if you are in the city already. ==Get around== ===By plane=== Air travel is a good mode of transport between this large region's many travel destinations. Fares are lower on average than in Europe or America, and [[Air travel on a budget|low-cost airlines in Asia]] are rapidly expanding their networks particularly in Southeast Asia. In addition, Asia is also home to some of the world's best regarded full service airlines, such as '''[http://www.singaporeair.com Singapore Airlines]''', Hong Kong's '''[https://www.cathaypacific.com Cathay Pacific]''', South Korea's '''[https://kr.koreanair.com/global/en.html Korean Air]''' and '''[http://flyasiana.com Asiana Airlines]''', Japan's '''[https://www.ana.co.jp All Nippon Airways (ANA)]''' and '''[http://www.jal.com/ Japan Airlines (JAL)]''', Taiwan's '''[https://www.evaair.com EVA Air]''' and the big three Middle Eastern airlines '''[https://www.emirates.com Emirates]''', '''[https://www.qatarairways.com Qatar Airways]''' and '''[http://www.etihad.com Etihad Airways]''', which make good options for those willing to spend some extra money to fly in relative comfort with better service. ===By boat=== [[File:Godavari river ferry and bridge.jpg|thumbnail|Ferry across the Godavari river in India]] Ferry services connect [[China]], [[South Korea]] and [[Japan]] in [[East Asia]]. There are also very many international and domestic ferry services for the island nations in [[South East Asia]] including the [[Philippines]], [[Indonesia]], [[Singapore]] and [[Malaysia]]. ===By train=== There are highly developed train networks in [[India]], [[China]], [[South Korea]], [[Taiwan]] and [[Japan]], as well as less developed services throughout [[South East Asia]]. Most of these countries, but especially China have also been investing a lot in [[High-speed rail in China|high speed rail]], and even for longer distances trains might be a worthwhile option not only in terms of views and comfort but also in terms of price and speed, especially if you figure in the time and money saved while you sleep on sleeper services. In Russia and India, big parts of the country are mostly served by slow rail and it is a superb way to get into contact with locals (bring a phrasebook) or just see the country pass by the window. China and Japan are expanding their high speed networks, with China even planning to build international links to South East Asia and possibly North or South Korea. [[KTX|South Korea's]] relatively young network of high speed lines is also planned to expand within the next decades, however due to the political situation, international links are unlikely in the immediate future. ===By bus=== Travel by bus is an option for the budget conscious traveler in most Asian countries, and often a good way to come into contact with locals. Quality of services ranges wildly from luxurious buses on par with or even more comfortable and faster than some trains to beat up old school buses where you might conceivable actually sit next to a live chicken. (Hence their nickname "chicken bus") ===By car=== As Asia has a high population density in many places and new road construction has not always kept up with growing traffic, congestion is a major problem, especially in urban centers. That being said a car is often a good and sometimes the only way to explore more remote areas. Keep in mind that bringing a car might necessitate a number of forms and permits; you will probably need an [[international driving permit]] and for some countries a [[Carnet de Passages]] for the vehicle. '''Mainland China''' (excluding Macau and Hong Kong) '''does not accept international drivers licenses'''. If you want to go to or through China by car, you need to either obtain a local drivers license or hire a driver; see [[Driving in China]] for details. ===Local transport=== Many places have taxis, many of the major cities have good [[Urban rail]] or bus systems, it is possible to walk or bike in some places, and some travellers will get around mainly on tour buses. While Japan has had world class (if expensive) urban rail for decades, China but also some more unlikely countries have followed suit and are still expanding and improving vast light and heavy rail networks. Where those exist they are usually the best option for tourists and locals alike. However in many places other options are available as well, and often these are what the locals mainly use. If "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" is part of your travel philosophy, then you should definitely consider these. In much of Asia there are various sorts of truck or van modified to carry passengers: [[jeepney]]s and [[UV Express]] in the Philippines, [[songthaew]] in Thailand, or similar vehicles elsewhere. In many places there are also pedal-powered or motorcycle-based tricycles, see [[Thailand#Tuk-tuk]], [[Philippines#By_tricycle]] or [[India#By_auto-rickshaw]]. Some areas also have motorcycle taxis (''habal-habal'' in Filipino). These are too risky and uncomfortable for many travellers, but some like them. ==See== [[File:Marunouchi, Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture 790-0008, Japan - panoramio (81).jpg|250px|thumb|Matsuyama Castle in [[Matsuyama]], [[Japan]]]] [[File:Band e Paneer.jpg|250px|thumb|[[Band-e Amir|Band-e Haibat Lake]] in [[Afghanistan]]]] === Natural places === While all continents have a huge number of things to see, what sets Asia is apart is the '''incredible variety of things to see'''. From the desolate [[Siberia]]n tundra and taiga in the far north to colorful [[India]]n street scenes, from ruins along the [[Silk Road]] to glitzy, futuristic metropolises and from the camels in the [[Arabian Peninsula|Arabian]] Desert to the [[Komodo]] dragons roaming the jungles of [[Flores (Indonesia)|Flores]], it is safe to say that Asia has something for everyone. Stretching from the Arctic all the way beyond the Equator, Asia is home to '''virtually every kind of climate and ecosystem that exists in the world''' and a corresponding number of different plants and animals. Almost all parts of Asia feature iconic animals, such as pandas, brown bears, tigers, monkeys, elephants, crocodiles, camels, and birds – though many of them are threatened in the wild. While north and central Asia is part of the [[Eurasian wildlife|palearctic region]], south and southeast Asia makes up the [[South Asian wildlife|Indomalayan region]]. There is also no lack of '''amazing landscapes''' either. Vast boreal forests cover the northern part of the continent interspersed by some of the longest rivers in the world. Further south, Asia is dominated by an enormous system of mountain chains reaching from the [[Eastern Anatolia|highlands of Turkey]] across [[Iran]], [[Pakistan]] and [[Central Asia]] into [[China]] where it forks into a northern section including the [[Altai]] mountains and continuing all the way through the [[Russian Far East]], and into a more southerly section including [[Himalaya]]s, which feature the world's highest summits, and then the highlands of Southeast Asia. Many mountains in the easternmost parts of the continent are [[volcanoes|volcanic]], and [[Indonesia]] and [[Kamchatka]] are indeed great destinations for volcanic tourism. Central Asia features steppe, which turns into desert when traveling south, and if you've always wanted to experience a [[Deserts|desert environment]], the Middle East is definitely a good choice. Another large desert is the [[Gobi]] at the borders of [[Mongolia]] and China. Finally, tropical Asia covering a part of East and most of [[South Asia|South]] and [[Southeast Asia]], where not cultivated or urbanized, is dominated by various kinds of tropical forests and thousands of beaches ranging from secluded paradise islands like the [[Maldives]] to some of the world's most popular beach resorts in [[Thailand]]. === Cultures and religions === Home to more than half of the world's population, the birthplace of all major world [[religions]] and using all the most widespread writing systems in the world, the '''different peoples and cultures''' you may encounter on this continent are likely even more varied than the landscapes. Almost all regions of Asia have ruins of '''some of the [[Historical travel#Asia|oldest civilizations]]''' in the world, often stretching back several millennia. The [[Holy Land]] of the Abrahamic religions can be found in the Middle East. Similarly, the Indian subcontinent is the wellspring of [[Hinduism]], [[Buddhism]], [[Sanamahism]], [[Sikhism]] and Jainism, and East Asia of Confucianism, Taoism and Shinto. Asia also bears witness to the spread of the great religions in the form of amazing '''religious architecture''', including the ancient tombs and houses of worship in [[Angkor Wat]], [[Borobudur]], [[Samarkand]], the [[Taj Mahal]] and countless thousands of others. There are also other kinds of historical sites such as the [[Great Wall]], [[Petra]], [[Ayutthaya]] and the royal and imperial palaces of both present and past dynasties. Even in the latter case the royal traditions may be experienced as in the royal change of guards at the [[Seoul/Jongno|Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul]]. [[File:St Pauls Panoramic.JPG|thumb|250x250px|The ruins of St. Paul's Church in [[Macau]], which shows the contrast between colonial architecture and the rapid development occurring in much of Asia.]] '''Colonial influences''' aren't as prominent as in Africa, the Americas or Oceania, but this doesn't mean that they aren't there. Virtually all of South and Southeast Asia were for centuries ruled by various European empires who introduced things like western architecture and foodstuffs (some of it from the Americas), as well as Christianity, European languages and the Latin alphabet. We should not forget Russian Asia as well as Central Asia which was part of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union for a century and a half. '''20th- and 21st-century history''', though for much of Asia featuring many wars and other sad things, are also present in memorials and museums. Finally if you want to plunge into '''modern cities''' with most the world's tallest buildings, glass, steel and huge LED-screens, extensive and modern transportation systems, and entertainment and amusement centers, Asia is the place to go too, especially the Gulf States and East Asia. ===Itineraries=== {{seealso|Asia itineraries}} * [[Burma Road]] * [[Istanbul to New Delhi over land]] * [[Hajj]], the Muslim pilgrimage to [[Mecca]] * [[Ho Chi Minh City to Shanghai overland]] * [[Karakoram Highway]], China to Pakistan * [[Moscow to Urumqi]] * [[On the trail of Kipling's Kim]] * [[On the trail of Marco Polo]] * [[Silk Road]] * [[Trans-Siberian Railway]] * [[Russia to Japan via Sakhalin]] ===Sports=== ====Asian Games==== The '''[http://www.ocasia.org/ Asian Games]''' are an international multi-sport event similar to the Olympics, albeit with participation restricted to Asian countries, as well as some dependent territories in Asia. The games were first held in 1951, and following that were held every four years starting from the 1954 games, two years apart from the Summer Olympics, and feature all Olympic sports, as well as several non-Olympic sports such as tenpin bowling, Asian martial arts and squash. The previous edition of the Asian Games was held in [[Jakarta]] and [[Palembang]], [[Indonesia]] in 2018, while the next edition will be held in [[Hangzhou]], [[China]] in 2022. ==Do== [[File:Colorful blankets (3992598842).jpg|thumb|Blankets in a bazaar in [[Osh]], [[Kyrgyzstan]]]] *'''Cruise''' between the dramatic limestone Karsts, islets and islands, in the emerald blue sea of [[Ha Long Bay]]. * '''Sleep''' on board a '''houseboat''' in the backwaters of [[Kerala]] in [[India]]. * Experience the architecture of the Taj Mahal [[Agra]] in [[India]]. * Dive in a crystal blue sea in [[Bunaken]], Indonesia to see a colorful coral reef and it's wide variety of tropical fish. * Climb '''[[Mount Everest]]''', the highest point of land on earth ([[Nepal]]) or K2, second highest, in [[Gilgit-Baltistan]]. * '''Explore''' [[Borneo]], an island divided between [[Indonesia]], [[Malaysia]] and [[Brunei]] that contains one of the oldest rainforests in the world. * '''Climb''' Mount [[Bromo]], [[Indonesia]], an active volcanic mountain that has an amazing scenery during sunrise. * Take a Tour to Yogyakarta, Indonesia's Cultural hub, and gateway to see the magnificent Buddhist temple [[Borobudur]] and Hindu temple of [[Prambanan]]. * Explore [[Lake Toba]], The largest volcanic lake in [[Indonesia]] and the world. * Visit [[Lombok]], a popular island east of Bali, with its beautiful white beaches and famous Gili Trawangan island and Mighty Mount Rinjani located in [[Indonesia]]. * Climb [[Mount Fuji]], an icon of Japan * Asia has a huge number of dive sites from snorkeling to scuba, with much interesting undersea life and quite a few wrecks.

Rice, in its many varieties, is a very common staple throughout Asia. [[Street food]] is also available almost anywhere in myriads of variations. Southeast Asia offers a great variety of tropical fruit and wonderful food at inexpensive prices. Wikivoyage has in-depth guides to various cuisines of the continent: see [[Middle Eastern cuisine]], [[South Asian cuisine]], [[Thai cuisine]], [[Chinese cuisine]], [[Korean cuisine]], [[Japanese cuisine]], [[Filipino cuisine]], and [[Malaysian cuisine]]. Many parts of Asia have also developed their own unique takes on Western food that cannot be found in their respective areas of origin; most of these are covered in the respective regional cuisine articles, but see [[Western food in Asia]] for an overview of these. ==Drink== [[File:Korean.tea-Daechucha-01.jpg|thumbnail|Daechucha, a Korean tea]] [[Tea]] is the most common beverage, especially in both [[South Asia]] and [[East Asia]]. In tropical areas, enjoy fresh fruit and coconut juices. Fresh sugar cane juice is readily available in many cities in India. It can be served plain or with ginger and lemon. In some areas, fresh water and clean drinking water may not easily be available. Yoghurt-based drinks are common in some areas, ''lassi'' in [[India]] and [[Pakistan]] and ''doogh'' in some western parts of Asia like [[Iran]] and [[Armenia]]. [[Alcohol]] is widely available throughout North, Southeast and East Asia. Often the larger cities or tourist areas have a modern nightlife scene. Alcohol is illegal in some parts of India and in some countries in the Middle East. While beer is commonly available in the countries that serve alcohol it often uses rice as the basic grain which affects taste somewhat. Another common beverage - especially in Japan, Korea and China - is "rice wine" (closer to beer as it contains more starch than sugar) sold and produced under various names and in with a range of variations on the basic recipe. ==Sleep== Depending on where you are everything from a tent with only the most basic facilities (if any) to a full blown five star hotel is available. Prices tend to reflect that. There are all kinds of traditional local lodging too: try a [[ryokan]] in [[Japan]], a yurt in [[Mongolia]], or a Bedouin tent in [[Israel]]. Any of these is not just a place to lay your head, but a unique cultural experience. ==Stay safe== [[File:Land mines in Afghanistan.jpg|thumbnail|Land mines in Afghanistan]] ===Armed conflicts=== Due to the vast size, safety in Asia varies wildly. It is a safe place in general and most tourist attractions on the continent are far from conflict, There are, however, some regions in which conflict and/or general lawlessness exists. The most obvious examples are [[Afghanistan]], [[Syria]], [[Yemen]], and big parts of [[Iraq]]. Afghanistan's government controls only parts of the country and also Iraq is in a state of continued armed conflict. There are full-scale civil wars in [[Syria]] and [[Yemen]]. These countries are considered no-go areas and should be completely avoided by travellers (if you absolutely must go, consult [[War zone safety]] and the authorities of your country beforehand). Although much of the [[Middle East]] can be visited without any major risks, it is known for its political tensions and there are no-go areas, for the moment especially Syria. The [[Gaza Strip]] is at times a war zone between Palestinian factions and the Israeli army, and kidnappings of foreigners have occurred. [[Israel]] has coped with missile attacks as well as suicide bombings by radical militant groups, such as Hamas and Hezbollah, but mostly in areas close to the Gaza Strip and Lebanon (and attacks from Lebanon happen only occasionally), and by far the biggest threat in most of the country is from dangerous drivers. [[Lebanon]] and the [[West Bank]] (Palestinian National Authority) generally cope with an unstable political situation and internal conflict. Some regions of the [[Caucasus]] are considered dangerous due to active insurgent groups, particularly the [[North Caucasus]] ([[Chechnya]]), [[Abkhazia]] and [[South Ossetia]]. [[Bahrain]] has experienced some political violence in the past, so check on current conditions before you go. More dangerously, [[Pakistan]] is active in a full-scale war in [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]] and the [[Federally Administered Tribal Areas]], both of which should not be visited. [[Kashmir]], claimed by both Pakistan and India, is also a region with tens of thousands of casualties since 1989 due to political strife and insurgency. In 2009, the Naxalite-Maoist insurgency in [[India]] has resurfaced, particularly in some parts of [[Chhattisgarh]] and other parts of [[Eastern India]]. [[Northeastern India]] also copes with dozens of insurgent groups, some of which have armed factions. The safest areas of Indian for all travellers including women travelling solo are in the Western Himalayan states of [[Himachal Pradesh]] and [[Uttarakhand]]. [[File:TsimShaTsui Signs.JPG|thumbnail|Hong Kong]] [[Southeast Asia]] is a major travel region and most of it is perfectly safe to visit. A notable exception is [[East Timor]], which continues to face sporadic internal ethnic and political tension and related violence may occur. But even in some popular countries, there are some areas that should be avoided. [[Bangsamoro]], a Muslim autonomous region in [[Mindanao]] in the south of the [[Philippines]], is an area of conflict between the government and the Muslim separatist movements. The rest of the country is safe. [[Thailand]], the most visited country in Southeast Asia, is generally safe with the notable exception of [[Southern Gulf Coast|four deep southern provinces]], where fighting between the Thai military and Islamic insurgent groups still continues, though tourists are rarely if ever the targets of violence. [[Indonesia]] is a very diverse country, with armed groups fighting for independence in [[Papua]], while [[Maluku]] and [[Aceh]] are relatively safe now. [[East Asia]] is generally the safest area in the continent for visitors, but political tensions also exist in this region. You should be aware that [[North Korea]] and [[South Korea]] are still officially at war and hostilities could in theory resume at any time, although the [[DMZ (Korea)|border between them]] is still a worthwhile tourist destination in its own right (check current conditions if you plan a visit). Some visitors have also been arbitrarily arrested in North Korea, and less often, China. [[China]], a vast and diverse country, is a relatively safe destination, yet the restive provinces of [[Tibet]] and [[Xinjiang]] still often bar foreigners at any hint of trouble. While [[Hong Kong]] has long been one of the safest cities in Asia, soaring tensions between the locals and the Chinese central government in Beijing have led to violent protests and a growing independence movement. ===Crime=== Refer to the specific country pages and the authorities of your country for more information. As a precaution, always know the address of embassies, and notify in case of any issues faced. ===Natural disasters=== Being the largest continent by far, practically every thinkable natural disaster is a risk at least somewhere in Asia. The area approximately along the Silk road is prone to [[earthquakes]], and areas along the Pacific "Ring of Fire" &mdash; [[Kamchatka]], [[Japan]], the [[Philippines]] and [[Indonesia]] &mdash; have both [[volcanoes]] and quakes. Especially in South and Southeast Asia monsoon rains often result in massive floods. Tropical storms ([[typhoons]] and cyclones) are a risk in much of tropical Asia during Northern Hemisphere summer and autumn. Smog and dust storms often occur especially in the northern part of China, making it very unpleasant for people with breathing difficulties. ==Stay healthy== Many areas of Asia, especially Southeast Asia and South Asia, are humid tropical, and there are health risks attached to travel in those regions. See [[tropical diseases]] and the country articles for specific information. Parts of Asia, such as [[Mongolia]] and [[Siberia]], have extremely harsh winters. See [[cold weather]] and country or region articles for details. In some areas, such as [[Tibet]], travellers will need to take precautions against [[altitude sickness]]. ==Connect== Some of the world's best and cheapest internet connectivity is to be found in parts of Asia, with extremely fast speeds in [[South Korea]], [[Japan]], [[Singapore]] and many other countries on both fixed line and mobile. Conversely many countries also lag behind, and connections may be hard to come by. Censorship is a big issue for connectivity in a handful of countries including [[China]], [[North Korea]], and [[Turkmenistan]], where many websites and social networks are actively blocked from use. {{usablecontinent}} {{related|Discount_airlines_in_Asia}} {{related|Scuba_diving_in_Asia}} {{related|Europe_to_South_Asia_over_land}} {{related|Istanbul_to_New_Delhi_over_land}} {{geo|44|101|zoom=4}} egvyu966h2gyiljn0vudc3ywvm8hql2 4495849 4495842 2022-08-05T20:46:53Z Vidimian 1815 Reverted edits by [[Special:Contributions/209.35.170.34|209.35.170.34]] ([[User talk:209.35.170.34|talk]]) to last version by [[User:Ikan Kekek|Ikan Kekek]] wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Asia banner Rice terraces.jpg|caption=Rice terraces in the Philippines}} '''Asia''' is the world's largest continent by land area and population, home to 4.4 billion people, more than half of the world's population. The continent is too massive and diverse to conceptualize as a single digestible travel "destination". Travel options range widely, from the desert ruins and modern mega-malls of the [[Middle East]] to the magnificent ancient monuments and giant mountains in [[South Asia]], from the beach bungalows and jungle treks of [[Southeast Asia]] to the mega-cities and technology capitals of [[East Asia]]. [[File:TajMahal.jpg|250px|thumb|The Taj Mahal in [[Agra]], [[India]]]] Asia gets a tremendous number of travellers, both for tourism and business. Many of the world's most-visited cities are in Asia, including [[Bangkok]], [[Beijing]], [[Dubai]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Jerusalem]], [[Mumbai]], [[Seoul]], [[Singapore]], and [[Tokyo]]. Asia offers intriguing destinations for every type of traveller, be they a novice or an experienced road-warrior. Easier options include modern, prosperous countries like [[Japan]] and the East Asian Tigers of Singapore, Hong Kong, [[Taiwan]], and [[South Korea]], where people enjoy very high standards of living. There are also poor Asian countries with significant levels of malnutrition, such as [[Cambodia]], [[Afghanistan]], [[Laos]], and [[East Timor]]. Some countries are well-established on the budget tourist trail, including [[Thailand]], [[Vietnam]], and [[Indonesia]]. There are countries that strictly restrict tourism to certain regions or types of tourism, such as [[Bhutan]] and the [[Maldives]]. [[North Korea]] and [[Turkmenistan]], easily the world's most isolated and repressive states, take it even further, with constantly-watched group tours dedicated to their "great leaders". Of course, there are also many countries lying somewhere in the middle, which is where one might place the emerging powerhouses of [[China]] and [[India]]; those huge, populous lands make wonderful travel destinations in themselves due to their long history, traditions and diversity. ==Regions== {{Worldimagemap/Asiaimagemap}} {{Regionlist |region1name=[[Caucasus]] |region1color=#bf82d8 |region1items=[[Abkhazia]], [[Armenia]], [[Azerbaijan]], [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], [[Nagorno-Karabakh]], [[South Ossetia]] |region1description=The Caucasus is a mountainous range connecting Europe and the Middle East, with a living heritage from ancient times. |region2name=[[Central Asia]] |region2color=#43aad2 |region2items=[[Afghanistan]], [[Kazakhstan]], [[Kyrgyzstan]], [[Tajikistan]], [[Turkmenistan]], [[Uzbekistan]] |region2description=The center of the [[Silk Road]], these countries offer spectacular landscapes from deserts to mountains and true adventure in the footsteps of [[Marco Polo]], with many ancient mosques as well as Soviet architecture. |region3name=[[East Asia]] |region3color=#d5b66b |region3items=[[China]] (mainland), [[Hong Kong]], [[Japan]], [[Macau]], [[Mongolia]], [[North Korea]], [[South Korea]], [[Taiwan]] |region3description=The perfect dichotomy of old versus new, the biggest of mega-cities at the front-end of technological development combines with well-preserved temples and sites of the ancient cultures and philosophies still present in everyday society.

For cultural and historical reasons, some parts of the Caucasus are considered European. The Bosphorus bisecting [[Istanbul]] is also regarded as the border between Asia and Europe. [[Sinai]] is geographically in Asia but politically a part of Egypt. And at the other end of Asia, the continental plate of Australia also includes parts of [[Indonesia]], which is generally counted as part of [[Southeast Asia]]. Similarly, the island of [[Cyprus]] is geographically part of Asia, but usually considered part of Europe. ==Cities== [[File:Commuting to Work.jpg|250px|thumb|Tiananmen Square in [[Beijing]], [[China]]]] <!-- THIS LIST ONLY ALLOWS A MAXIMUM OF 9 CITIES.

It is also home to the world's fastest growing cities, a wide range of exotic cuisines, the world's highest mountain ranges and some of the world's most ancient cultures. ===Geography=== Asia is by far the largest continent and as such is extremely varied geographically. Asia contains virtually every possible climate and terrain from the frozen plains of Siberia to the jungles of Indonesia to the deserts of Arabia. [[File:Everest North Face toward Base Camp Tibet Luca Galuzzi 2006.jpg|thumbnail|All summits above 7,000 m, including the pictured Mt Everest, are in Asia]] Asia's (and the world's) highest point is Mount Everest, in the [[Himalayas]] along the border of [[Tibet]] and [[Nepal]], which rises to {{m|8,848}} above sea level. Its lowest point is the [[Dead Sea]], located at the meeting points of [[Israel]], [[Palestine]] and [[Jordan]], whose surface is {{m|400}} below sea level. Asia's longest river is the [[Along the Yangtze River|Yangtze]], which runs {{km|6,300}} through [[China]] all the way from the high Tibetan Plateau to [[Shanghai]]. Its largest lake is the 386,400&nbsp;km² (149,200&nbsp;square mile) Caspian Sea, which is surrounded by several Central Asian nations. Asia is bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the east, by [[Australia]] to the southeast, and by the Indian Ocean to the south. It is bordered by the Red Sea to the southwest, by [[Europe]] and the Urals to the west, and by the Arctic Ocean to the north. East Asia (China, Japan, Korea) is relatively temperate with distinct seasonal differences. South and South East Asia (Thailand, Indonesia, India, Burma etc.) has a monsoon climate. Generally hot all year round but with a wet and dry season. Most of Asia's rainforests and beaches are to be found here. West Asia (Iran, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon etc.) is hot and often dry. Winters can be mild but summer can be extremely hot. Central and north Asia have continental climate with the coldest winters outside Antarctica and hot summers; in some places the difference between all-time highs and lows can be over 100°C. ===History=== The history of Asia is long, complex and diverse enough that some universities have whole departments devoted to it and a full account would be a multi-volume work. Even a reasonable summary would be much more than a travel guide could sensibly attempt. Most of our country articles, and some region or city articles, include summaries of the relevant history. Consult those for basic information, or see Wikipedia, other sites, or a library for more detail. Most Wikivoyage articles include a link to the corresponding Wikipedia article; it is found in the menu to the left of the text. [[File:Shibam details Wadi Hadhramaut Yemen.jpg|thumb|Mud Skyscrapers in [[Shibam]], [[Yemen]]]] Also, some articles here cover historically important things in Asia: * Asian empires: [[Ancient Mesopotamia]], the [[Persian Empire]], [[Alexander the Great]], the [[Ottoman Empire]], the [[Mughal Empire]], the [[Chinese Empire]], the [[Mongol Empire]], [[pre-modern Korea]], and [[pre-modern Japan]] * Colonial empires: [[British Raj]], [[Russian Empire]] * Routes: [[Silk Road]], [[On the trail of Marco Polo]], [[On the trail of Kipling's Kim]], and [[Istanbul to New Delhi over land]] * 20th century: [[Soviet Union]], [[Chinese Revolutions]] and [[Pacific War]] * [[Archaeological_sites#Asia|Archaeological sites]], [[Historical_travel#Asia|Historical travel]], [[Architecture]], and [[Old_towns#Asia|Old towns]] All the UNESCO lists &mdash; [[UNESCO_World_Heritage_List#Asia|World Heritage]], [[UNESCO_Intangible_Cultural_Heritage#Asia|Intangible Cultural Heritage]], [[UNESCO_World_Network_of_Biosphere_Reserves#Asia|Biosphere reserves]], [[UNESCO Global Geoparks Network|Geology parks]] and [[UNESCO Creative Cities#Asia|Creative Cities]] &mdash; include sites in Asia. ==Talk== [[File:MRT emergency plunger warning sign.jpg|thumbnail|Singapore has four official languages, written in three different scripts]] : ''See the general [[Talk]] article for a more detailed discussion'' English proficiency varies widely between countries and regions. English is the main working language in [[Singapore]], and widely spoken as a second language by educated people in many former British and American colonies such as [[Malaysia]], [[Brunei]], the [[Philippines]], [[Hong Kong]], most of [[South Asia]], the small Arab states of the [[Middle East|Gulf]], [[Jordan]] and [[Israel]]. Elsewhere, English proficiency is rudimentary at best. Refer to the guide for individual countries for how well you are likely to fare. It is not possible to list all the languages and dialects you may encounter throughout Asia. We can however detail the major groups you are likely to encounter: * Sino-Tibetan — The Chinese languages ([[Chinese phrasebook|Mandarin]], [[Cantonese phrasebook|Cantonese]], [[Minnan phrasebook|Minnan]] etc.), [[Burmese phrasebook|Burmese]], [[Tibetan phrasebook|Tibetan]] and [[Dzongkha phrasebook|Dzongkha]], as well as [[Meitei phrasebook|Meitei]] (Manipuri) and some other languages in [[North-Eastern India]]. * Turkic — [[Turkish phrasebook|Turkish]], [[Azerbaijani phrasebook|Azerbaijani]], [[Uyghur phrasebook|Uyghur]], [[Turkmen phrasebook|Turkmen]], [[Kazakh phrasebook|Kazakh]], [[Kyrgyz phrasebook|Kyrgyz]], [[Uzbek phrasebook|Uzbek]] and several local languages throughout [[Siberia]] * Semitic — [[Arabic phrasebook|Arabic]] is spoken in Arab countries throughout the Middle East, and [[Hebrew phrasebook|Hebrew]] is spoken in [[Israel]]. * Indo-European — a huge group that includes most of the languages of Europe plus some in Asia ** Iranian — [[Persian phrasebook|Persian]], [[Pashto phrasebook|Pashto]], [[Tajik phrasebook|Tajik]], and [[Kurdish phrasebook|Kurdish]] are widely spoken in the Middle East and Central Asia. ** Indo-Aryan — [[Hindi phrasebook|Hindi]], [[Urdu phrasebook|Urdu]], [[Bengali phrasebook|Bengali]], [[Punjabi phrasebook|Punjabi]], [[Marathi phrasebook|Marathi]], [[Gujarati phrasebook|Gujarati]], [[Sinhala phrasebook|Sinhala]], [[Sindhi phrasebook|Sindhi]] and [[Nepali phrasebook|Nepali]] are found through much of the [[South Asia|Indian sub-continent]]. ** [[Armenian phrasebook|Armenian]] is the official language of [[Armenia]], and also spoken by the ethnic Armenian minorities in neighbouring countries such as [[Turkey]], [[Iran]], [[Iraq]] and [[Russia]]. ** [[Russian phrasebook|Russian]], spoken in Asiatic Russia and serving as a lingua franca in much of the [[Caucasus]] and [[Central Asia]]. Also the most widely spoken foreign language in [[Mongolia]] ** [[Portuguese phrasebook|Portuguese]] is an official language in [[Macau]] and [[East Timor]], where it is spoken by a significant minority. It is also spoken by a small, mainly upper class, community in [[Goa]], while a Portuguese-based creole is spoken by the Portuguese Eurasian community in [[Malacca]]. * Dravidian — A distinct language group of South Indian languages including [[Tamil phrasebook|Tamil]], [[Kannada phrasebook|Kannada]], [[Malayalam phrasebook|Malayalam]] and [[Telugu phrasebook|Telugu]]. These are completely unrelated to the north Indian languages such as Hindi and Urdu, though they contain a number of loan words from Sanskrit. * Tai–Kadai — [[Thai phrasebook|Thai]] and [[Lao phrasebook|Lao]] are spoken in [[Thailand]] and Laos respectively. Other languages in this family are spoken by ethnic minorities in Myanmar, Vietnam and China. * Austroasiatic — [[Vietnamese phrasebook|Vietnamese]] and [[Khmer phrasebook|Khmer]] are spoken in [[Vietnam]] and [[Cambodia]] respectively. Other languages in this family are spoken by ethnic minorities in Myanmar, Thailand and China. * [[Austronesian]] — [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]] and [[Indonesian phrasebook|Indonesian]] are mostly mutually intelligible; most other local languages in Malaysia and Indonesia such as [[Javanese phrasebook|Javanese]], [[Sundanese phrasebook|Sundanese]], [[Balinese phrasebook|Balinese]], [[Iban phrasebook|Iban]] and Kadazan are not mutually intelligible, but also belong to the same language family. Most languages of the Philippines &mdash; the most important are [[Filipino phrasebook|Tagalog]] and [[Cebuano phrasebook|Cebuano]] &mdash; are also in this group. [[Tetum phrasebook|Tetum]], the main language spoken in [[East Timor]], also falls in this family. Other Austronesian languages are spoken in [[Madagascar]], throughout the Pacific islands, and by the Taiwanese Aboriginal people. * Mongolic — [[Mongolian phrasebook|Mongolian]], as the name suggests, and some minority languages in Russia such as [[Buryat phrasebook|Buryat]] and [[Kalmyk phrasebook|Kalmyk]] Asia has a few significant isolated languages not proven to be related to others including [[Korean phrasebook|Korean]], [[Japanese phrasebook|Japanese]] (except the Ryukyuan languages spoken in the [[Okinawa|Ryukyu Islands]]) and [[Georgian phrasebook|Georgian]]. ==Get in== ===By plane=== [[File:Dubai - International (DXB - OMDB) AN1204297.jpg|thumbnail|[[DXB|Dubai International]] boasts nonstop flights to all inhabited continents]] Asia's busiest airports include '''[[Hong Kong]]''' ({{IATA|HKG}}), '''[[Dubai]]''' ({{IATA|DXB}}), '''[[Beijing]]''' ({{IATA|PEK}}), '''[[Singapore]]''' ({{IATA|SIN}}), '''[[Kuala Lumpur]]''' ({{IATA|KUL}}), '''[[Bangkok]]''' ({{IATA|BKK}}), '''[[Seoul]]''' ({{IATA|ICN}}), '''[[Tokyo]]''' ({{IATA|NRT}}, {{IATA|HND}}) and '''[[Jakarta]]''' ({{IATA|CGK}}). If you're heading to anywhere in Asia, chances are that you'll pass through at least one of these airports whether in transit or as a final stop. Fortunately for those with long transit times, they are some of the best equipped airports in the world, known for their efficient service and ample distractions. Additionally, [[Shanghai]] ({{IATA|PVG}}), [[Guangzhou]] ({{IATA|CAN}}), [[New Delhi]] ({{IATA|DEL}}), [[Mumbai]] ({{IATA|BOM}}) and [[Chennai]] ({{IATA|MAA}}) are major hubs for travel to China and the Indian sub-continent. For the Middle East, [[Doha]] ({{IATA|DOH}}) and [[Abu Dhabi]] ({{IATA|AUH}}) also have reasonably good connections. ===By train=== If you are coming to Asia by train, you'll likely be coming in through [[Russia]] or [[Turkey]], although other options may exist. For an interesting experience, try the '''[[Trans-Siberian Railway]]''', or alternatively some of the lines from Moscow to Central Asia. ===By boat=== Asian ports are cruise destinations, and various companies such as [http://www.royalcaribbean.com Royal Caribbean] and [http://www.princess.com/learn/destinations/australia/cruises/zaa.jsp Princess] run cruises from [[Australia]], while [http://www.hollandamerica.com/ Holland America] travels across the Pacific from [[North America]]. [[Freighter travel]] is another option, including if you wish to travel to ports in the Asian part of Mediterranean. Coming from Africa [[sea piracy]] is a threat to take seriously. Piracy in the Strait of Malacca has declined, but may still be relevant. As the Bosporus is considered to be the boundary between Europe and Asia, one of the various ferries in Istanbul can also get you into Asia. There is ferry access from Asia to Africa and reverse via Jordan and Egypt. As of 2019 Ferries still connect African Egypt with Asia via ABMarine. However you will not be permitted to leave Sinai into the rest of Africa unless you take the Nuweiba, Egypt ferry from Aqaba, Jordan.<!-- Source: ab-marine.com and personally made this trip.--> Leaving Asia to Africa via Israel, will cause you to not be able to leave Sinai into the rest of Africa as you can not get permission to go further into Africa when using the Israeli borders or even the Taba, Egypt port as well. The Nuweiba ferry is the only way to go if you want to travel via ferry and land to Africa. If you enter Asia this route, several nationalities can enter visa-free as long as you exit Jordan via the same city within 30 days because of the AZEA Trade Agreement. ===On foot=== Some cities, including [[Yekaterinburg]] and [[Istanbul]] are built across what is commonly considered the dividing line between Europe and Asia and you can comfortably walk across that line if you are in the city already. ==Get around== ===By plane=== Air travel is a good mode of transport between this large region's many travel destinations. Fares are lower on average than in Europe or America, and [[Air travel on a budget|low-cost airlines in Asia]] are rapidly expanding their networks particularly in Southeast Asia. In addition, Asia is also home to some of the world's best regarded full service airlines, such as '''[http://www.singaporeair.com Singapore Airlines]''', Hong Kong's '''[https://www.cathaypacific.com Cathay Pacific]''', South Korea's '''[https://kr.koreanair.com/global/en.html Korean Air]''' and '''[http://flyasiana.com Asiana Airlines]''', Japan's '''[https://www.ana.co.jp All Nippon Airways (ANA)]''' and '''[http://www.jal.com/ Japan Airlines (JAL)]''', Taiwan's '''[https://www.evaair.com EVA Air]''' and the big three Middle Eastern airlines '''[https://www.emirates.com Emirates]''', '''[https://www.qatarairways.com Qatar Airways]''' and '''[http://www.etihad.com Etihad Airways]''', which make good options for those willing to spend some extra money to fly in relative comfort with better service. ===By boat=== [[File:Godavari river ferry and bridge.jpg|thumbnail|Ferry across the Godavari river in India]] Ferry services connect [[China]], [[South Korea]] and [[Japan]] in [[East Asia]]. There are also very many international and domestic ferry services for the island nations in [[South East Asia]] including the [[Philippines]], [[Indonesia]], [[Singapore]] and [[Malaysia]]. ===By train=== There are highly developed train networks in [[India]], [[China]], [[South Korea]], [[Taiwan]] and [[Japan]], as well as less developed services throughout [[South East Asia]]. Most of these countries, but especially China have also been investing a lot in [[High-speed rail in China|high speed rail]], and even for longer distances trains might be a worthwhile option not only in terms of views and comfort but also in terms of price and speed, especially if you figure in the time and money saved while you sleep on sleeper services. In Russia and India, big parts of the country are mostly served by slow rail and it is a superb way to get into contact with locals (bring a phrasebook) or just see the country pass by the window. China and Japan are expanding their high speed networks, with China even planning to build international links to South East Asia and possibly North or South Korea. [[KTX|South Korea's]] relatively young network of high speed lines is also planned to expand within the next decades, however due to the political situation, international links are unlikely in the immediate future. ===By bus=== Travel by bus is an option for the budget conscious traveler in most Asian countries, and often a good way to come into contact with locals. Quality of services ranges wildly from luxurious buses on par with or even more comfortable and faster than some trains to beat up old school buses where you might conceivable actually sit next to a live chicken. (Hence their nickname "chicken bus") ===By car=== As Asia has a high population density in many places and new road construction has not always kept up with growing traffic, congestion is a major problem, especially in urban centers. That being said a car is often a good and sometimes the only way to explore more remote areas. Keep in mind that bringing a car might necessitate a number of forms and permits; you will probably need an [[international driving permit]] and for some countries a [[Carnet de Passages]] for the vehicle. '''Mainland China''' (excluding Macau and Hong Kong) '''does not accept international drivers licenses'''. If you want to go to or through China by car, you need to either obtain a local drivers license or hire a driver; see [[Driving in China]] for details. ===Local transport=== Many places have taxis, many of the major cities have good [[Urban rail]] or bus systems, it is possible to walk or bike in some places, and some travellers will get around mainly on tour buses. While Japan has had world class (if expensive) urban rail for decades, China but also some more unlikely countries have followed suit and are still expanding and improving vast light and heavy rail networks. Where those exist they are usually the best option for tourists and locals alike. However in many places other options are available as well, and often these are what the locals mainly use. If "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" is part of your travel philosophy, then you should definitely consider these. In much of Asia there are various sorts of truck or van modified to carry passengers: [[jeepney]]s and [[UV Express]] in the Philippines, [[songthaew]] in Thailand, or similar vehicles elsewhere. In many places there are also pedal-powered or motorcycle-based tricycles, see [[Thailand#Tuk-tuk]], [[Philippines#By_tricycle]] or [[India#By_auto-rickshaw]]. Some areas also have motorcycle taxis (''habal-habal'' in Filipino). These are too risky and uncomfortable for many travellers, but some like them. ==See== [[File:Marunouchi, Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture 790-0008, Japan - panoramio (81).jpg|250px|thumb|Matsuyama Castle in [[Matsuyama]], [[Japan]]]] [[File:Band e Paneer.jpg|250px|thumb|[[Band-e Amir|Band-e Haibat Lake]] in [[Afghanistan]]]] === Natural places === While all continents have a huge number of things to see, what sets Asia is apart is the '''incredible variety of things to see'''. From the desolate [[Siberia]]n tundra and taiga in the far north to colorful [[India]]n street scenes, from ruins along the [[Silk Road]] to glitzy, futuristic metropolises and from the camels in the [[Arabian Peninsula|Arabian]] Desert to the [[Komodo]] dragons roaming the jungles of [[Flores (Indonesia)|Flores]], it is safe to say that Asia has something for everyone. Stretching from the Arctic all the way beyond the Equator, Asia is home to '''virtually every kind of climate and ecosystem that exists in the world''' and a corresponding number of different plants and animals. Almost all parts of Asia feature iconic animals, such as pandas, brown bears, tigers, monkeys, elephants, crocodiles, camels, and birds – though many of them are threatened in the wild. While north and central Asia is part of the [[Eurasian wildlife|palearctic region]], south and southeast Asia makes up the [[South Asian wildlife|Indomalayan region]]. There is also no lack of '''amazing landscapes''' either. Vast boreal forests cover the northern part of the continent interspersed by some of the longest rivers in the world. Further south, Asia is dominated by an enormous system of mountain chains reaching from the [[Eastern Anatolia|highlands of Turkey]] across [[Iran]], [[Pakistan]] and [[Central Asia]] into [[China]] where it forks into a northern section including the [[Altai]] mountains and continuing all the way through the [[Russian Far East]], and into a more southerly section including [[Himalaya]]s, which feature the world's highest summits, and then the highlands of Southeast Asia. Many mountains in the easternmost parts of the continent are [[volcanoes|volcanic]], and [[Indonesia]] and [[Kamchatka]] are indeed great destinations for volcanic tourism. Central Asia features steppe, which turns into desert when traveling south, and if you've always wanted to experience a [[Deserts|desert environment]], the Middle East is definitely a good choice. Another large desert is the [[Gobi]] at the borders of [[Mongolia]] and China. Finally, tropical Asia covering a part of East and most of [[South Asia|South]] and [[Southeast Asia]], where not cultivated or urbanized, is dominated by various kinds of tropical forests and thousands of beaches ranging from secluded paradise islands like the [[Maldives]] to some of the world's most popular beach resorts in [[Thailand]]. === Cultures and religions === Home to more than half of the world's population, the birthplace of all major world [[religions]] and using all the most widespread writing systems in the world, the '''different peoples and cultures''' you may encounter on this continent are likely even more varied than the landscapes. Almost all regions of Asia have ruins of '''some of the [[Historical travel#Asia|oldest civilizations]]''' in the world, often stretching back several millennia. The [[Holy Land]] of the Abrahamic religions can be found in the Middle East. Similarly, the Indian subcontinent is the wellspring of [[Hinduism]], [[Buddhism]], [[Sanamahism]], [[Sikhism]] and Jainism, and East Asia of Confucianism, Taoism and Shinto. Asia also bears witness to the spread of the great religions in the form of amazing '''religious architecture''', including the ancient tombs and houses of worship in [[Angkor Wat]], [[Borobudur]], [[Samarkand]], the [[Taj Mahal]] and countless thousands of others. There are also other kinds of historical sites such as the [[Great Wall]], [[Petra]], [[Ayutthaya]] and the royal and imperial palaces of both present and past dynasties. Even in the latter case the royal traditions may be experienced as in the royal change of guards at the [[Seoul/Jongno|Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul]]. [[File:St Pauls Panoramic.JPG|thumb|250x250px|The ruins of St. Paul's Church in [[Macau]], which shows the contrast between colonial architecture and the rapid development occurring in much of Asia.]] '''Colonial influences''' aren't as prominent as in Africa, the Americas or Oceania, but this doesn't mean that they aren't there. Virtually all of South and Southeast Asia were for centuries ruled by various European empires who introduced things like western architecture and foodstuffs (some of it from the Americas), as well as Christianity, European languages and the Latin alphabet. We should not forget Russian Asia as well as Central Asia which was part of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union for a century and a half. '''20th- and 21st-century history''', though for much of Asia featuring many wars and other sad things, are also present in memorials and museums. Finally if you want to plunge into '''modern cities''' with most the world's tallest buildings, glass, steel and huge LED-screens, extensive and modern transportation systems, and entertainment and amusement centers, Asia is the place to go too, especially the Gulf States and East Asia. ===Itineraries=== {{seealso|Asia itineraries}} * [[Burma Road]] * [[Istanbul to New Delhi over land]] * [[Hajj]], the Muslim pilgrimage to [[Mecca]] * [[Ho Chi Minh City to Shanghai overland]] * [[Karakoram Highway]], China to Pakistan * [[Moscow to Urumqi]] * [[On the trail of Kipling's Kim]] * [[On the trail of Marco Polo]] * [[Silk Road]] * [[Trans-Siberian Railway]] * [[Russia to Japan via Sakhalin]] ===Sports=== ====Asian Games==== The '''[http://www.ocasia.org/ Asian Games]''' are an international multi-sport event similar to the Olympics, albeit with participation restricted to Asian countries, as well as some dependent territories in Asia. The games were first held in 1951, and following that were held every four years starting from the 1954 games, two years apart from the Summer Olympics, and feature all Olympic sports, as well as several non-Olympic sports such as tenpin bowling, Asian martial arts and squash. The previous edition of the Asian Games was held in [[Jakarta]] and [[Palembang]], [[Indonesia]] in 2018, while the next edition will be held in [[Hangzhou]], [[China]] in 2022. ==Do== [[File:Colorful blankets (3992598842).jpg|thumb|Blankets in a bazaar in [[Osh]], [[Kyrgyzstan]]]] *'''Cruise''' between the dramatic limestone Karsts, islets and islands, in the emerald blue sea of [[Ha Long Bay]]. * '''Sleep''' on board a '''houseboat''' in the backwaters of [[Kerala]] in [[India]]. * Experience the architecture of the Taj Mahal [[Agra]] in [[India]]. * Dive in a crystal blue sea in [[Bunaken]], Indonesia to see a colorful coral reef and it's wide variety of tropical fish. * Climb '''[[Mount Everest]]''', the highest point of land on earth ([[Nepal]]) or K2, second highest, in [[Gilgit-Baltistan]]. * '''Explore''' [[Borneo]], an island divided between [[Indonesia]], [[Malaysia]] and [[Brunei]] that contains one of the oldest rainforests in the world. * '''Climb''' Mount [[Bromo]], [[Indonesia]], an active volcanic mountain that has an amazing scenery during sunrise. * Take a Tour to Yogyakarta, Indonesia's Cultural hub, and gateway to see the magnificent Buddhist temple [[Borobudur]] and Hindu temple of [[Prambanan]]. * Explore [[Lake Toba]], The largest volcanic lake in [[Indonesia]] and the world. * Visit [[Lombok]], a popular island east of Bali, with its beautiful white beaches and famous Gili Trawangan island and Mighty Mount Rinjani located in [[Indonesia]]. * Climb [[Mount Fuji]], an icon of Japan * Asia has a huge number of dive sites from snorkeling to scuba, with much interesting undersea life and quite a few wrecks.

Rice, in its many varieties, is a very common staple throughout Asia. [[Street food]] is also available almost anywhere in myriads of variations. Southeast Asia offers a great variety of tropical fruit and wonderful food at inexpensive prices. Wikivoyage has in-depth guides to various cuisines of the continent: see [[Middle Eastern cuisine]], [[South Asian cuisine]], [[Thai cuisine]], [[Chinese cuisine]], [[Korean cuisine]], [[Japanese cuisine]], [[Filipino cuisine]], and [[Malaysian cuisine]]. Many parts of Asia have also developed their own unique takes on Western food that cannot be found in their respective areas of origin; most of these are covered in the respective regional cuisine articles, but see [[Western food in Asia]] for an overview of these. ==Drink== [[File:Korean.tea-Daechucha-01.jpg|thumbnail|Daechucha, a Korean tea]] [[Tea]] is the most common beverage, especially in both [[South Asia]] and [[East Asia]]. In tropical areas, enjoy fresh fruit and coconut juices. Fresh sugar cane juice is readily available in many cities in India. It can be served plain or with ginger and lemon. In some areas, fresh water and clean drinking water may not easily be available. Yoghurt-based drinks are common in some areas, ''lassi'' in [[India]] and [[Pakistan]] and ''doogh'' in some western parts of Asia like [[Iran]] and [[Armenia]]. [[Alcohol]] is widely available throughout North, Southeast and East Asia. Often the larger cities or tourist areas have a modern nightlife scene. Alcohol is illegal in some parts of India and in some countries in the Middle East. While beer is commonly available in the countries that serve alcohol it often uses rice as the basic grain which affects taste somewhat. Another common beverage - especially in Japan, Korea and China - is "rice wine" (closer to beer as it contains more starch than sugar) sold and produced under various names and in with a range of variations on the basic recipe. ==Sleep== Depending on where you are everything from a tent with only the most basic facilities (if any) to a full blown five star hotel is available. Prices tend to reflect that. There are all kinds of traditional local lodging too: try a [[ryokan]] in [[Japan]], a yurt in [[Mongolia]], or a Bedouin tent in [[Israel]]. Any of these is not just a place to lay your head, but a unique cultural experience. ==Stay safe== [[File:Land mines in Afghanistan.jpg|thumbnail|Land mines in Afghanistan]] ===Armed conflicts=== Due to the vast size, safety in Asia varies wildly. It is a safe place in general and most tourist attractions on the continent are far from conflict, There are, however, some regions in which conflict and/or general lawlessness exists. The most obvious examples are [[Afghanistan]], [[Syria]], [[Yemen]], and big parts of [[Iraq]]. Afghanistan's government controls only parts of the country and also Iraq is in a state of continued armed conflict. There are full-scale civil wars in [[Syria]] and [[Yemen]]. These countries are considered no-go areas and should be completely avoided by travellers (if you absolutely must go, consult [[War zone safety]] and the authorities of your country beforehand). Although much of the [[Middle East]] can be visited without any major risks, it is known for its political tensions and there are no-go areas, for the moment especially Syria. The [[Gaza Strip]] is at times a war zone between Palestinian factions and the Israeli army, and kidnappings of foreigners have occurred. [[Israel]] has coped with missile attacks as well as suicide bombings by radical militant groups, such as Hamas and Hezbollah, but mostly in areas close to the Gaza Strip and Lebanon (and attacks from Lebanon happen only occasionally), and by far the biggest threat in most of the country is from dangerous drivers. [[Lebanon]] and the [[West Bank]] (Palestinian National Authority) generally cope with an unstable political situation and internal conflict. Some regions of the [[Caucasus]] are considered dangerous due to active insurgent groups, particularly the [[North Caucasus]] ([[Chechnya]]), [[Abkhazia]] and [[South Ossetia]]. [[Bahrain]] has experienced some political violence in the past, so check on current conditions before you go. More dangerously, [[Pakistan]] is active in a full-scale war in [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]] and the [[Federally Administered Tribal Areas]], both of which should not be visited. [[Kashmir]], claimed by both Pakistan and India, is also a region with tens of thousands of casualties since 1989 due to political strife and insurgency. In 2009, the Naxalite-Maoist insurgency in [[India]] has resurfaced, particularly in some parts of [[Chhattisgarh]] and other parts of [[Eastern India]]. [[Northeastern India]] also copes with dozens of insurgent groups, some of which have armed factions. The safest areas of Indian for all travellers including women travelling solo are in the Western Himalayan states of [[Himachal Pradesh]] and [[Uttarakhand]]. [[File:TsimShaTsui Signs.JPG|thumbnail|Hong Kong]] [[Southeast Asia]] is a major travel region and most of it is perfectly safe to visit. A notable exception is [[East Timor]], which continues to face sporadic internal ethnic and political tension and related violence may occur. But even in some popular countries, there are some areas that should be avoided. [[Bangsamoro]], a Muslim autonomous region in [[Mindanao]] in the south of the [[Philippines]], is an area of conflict between the government and the Muslim separatist movements. The rest of the country is safe. [[Thailand]], the most visited country in Southeast Asia, is generally safe with the notable exception of [[Southern Gulf Coast|four deep southern provinces]], where fighting between the Thai military and Islamic insurgent groups still continues, though tourists are rarely if ever the targets of violence. [[Indonesia]] is a very diverse country, with armed groups fighting for independence in [[Papua]], while [[Maluku]] and [[Aceh]] are relatively safe now. [[East Asia]] is generally the safest area in the continent for visitors, but political tensions also exist in this region. You should be aware that [[North Korea]] and [[South Korea]] are still officially at war and hostilities could in theory resume at any time, although the [[DMZ (Korea)|border between them]] is still a worthwhile tourist destination in its own right (check current conditions if you plan a visit). Some visitors have also been arbitrarily arrested in North Korea, and less often, China. [[China]], a vast and diverse country, is a relatively safe destination, yet the restive provinces of [[Tibet]] and [[Xinjiang]] still often bar foreigners at any hint of trouble. While [[Hong Kong]] has long been one of the safest cities in Asia, soaring tensions between the locals and the Chinese central government in Beijing have led to violent protests and a growing independence movement. ===Crime=== Refer to the specific country pages and the authorities of your country for more information. As a precaution, always know the address of embassies, and notify in case of any issues faced. ===Natural disasters=== Being the largest continent by far, practically every thinkable natural disaster is a risk at least somewhere in Asia. The area approximately along the Silk road is prone to [[earthquakes]], and areas along the Pacific "Ring of Fire" &mdash; [[Kamchatka]], [[Japan]], the [[Philippines]] and [[Indonesia]] &mdash; have both [[volcanoes]] and quakes. Especially in South and Southeast Asia monsoon rains often result in massive floods. Tropical storms ([[typhoons]] and cyclones) are a risk in much of tropical Asia during Northern Hemisphere summer and autumn. Smog and dust storms often occur especially in the northern part of China, making it very unpleasant for people with breathing difficulties. ==Stay healthy== Many areas of Asia, especially Southeast Asia and South Asia, are humid tropical, and there are health risks attached to travel in those regions. See [[tropical diseases]] and the country articles for specific information. Parts of Asia, such as [[Mongolia]] and [[Siberia]], have extremely harsh winters. See [[cold weather]] and country or region articles for details. In some areas, such as [[Tibet]], travellers will need to take precautions against [[altitude sickness]]. ==Connect== Some of the world's best and cheapest internet connectivity is to be found in parts of Asia, with extremely fast speeds in [[South Korea]], [[Japan]], [[Singapore]] and many other countries on both fixed line and mobile. Conversely many countries also lag behind, and connections may be hard to come by. Censorship is a big issue for connectivity in a handful of countries including [[China]], [[North Korea]], and [[Turkmenistan]], where many websites and social networks are actively blocked from use. {{usablecontinent}} {{related|Discount_airlines_in_Asia}} {{related|Scuba_diving_in_Asia}} {{related|Europe_to_South_Asia_over_land}} {{related|Istanbul_to_New_Delhi_over_land}} {{geo|44|101|zoom=4}} 1gl8zstdgiha1bcd5vj9896gckfy0n9 0 2302 4495748 4494552 2022-08-05T14:58:35Z Sbb1413 2217354 wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Old cossimbazar palace.jpg}} {{Otheruses|Berhampore}} '''Baharampur''' (also spelled as '''Berhampore''') is a city in the [[Central Bengal]] region of [[West Bengal]], India.

The Bakreshwar Thermal Power Station is some distance from the temple-complex. It is around 230 km from [[Kolkata]]. ==Understand== According to Hindu belief, an insulted Sati, the wife of Lord Shiva, sacrificed herself at a yagna (fire worship ritual) which was being performed by her father Dakshmaharaj. Angry with this incident Lord Shiva started the tandava nritya (dance of destruction). In order to prevent destruction of all creation, Lord Vishnu used his Sudershan charka (wheel) to cut the body of Sati into several parts. Sati's body was scattered all over the Indian subcontinent. There are 51 such holy spots where temples have been erected and they are called Pithas or the Shakti Pithas. Some of the Pithas are in West Bengal. The most popular of them are Kalighat (in Kolkata}, Bakreshwar and [[Tarapith]]. Bakreswar is said to be the pitha where Sati's forehead and eyebrows fell. The main temple is that of Shiva or more popular as that of Bakranath. In architectural style it is akin to the “rekha-deul” of [[Odisha]]. Numerous Shiva temples surround the main temple, and a large number of temples are without any image. According to legend, the disfigured and disconsolate Astabkra {also known as the sage Lomas), out on a pilgrimage, arrived at Kasi (Varanasi) intent on worshipping Shiva. He was informed that his prayers could not be answered till they were offered at an undefined spot named Gupta Kasi (the hidden Varanasi) in the distant realm of Gaur (Bengal). Astabakra took to an eastern direction and ended at Bakreswar, where he adored Siva for ten thousand years. The god, touched by the persistence of his votary, declared that those who worshipped. Astabakra first and himself afterwards would be vouchsafed an endless store of blessings. Viswakarma, the architect of the gods, received a command to erect a temple on the auspicious spot, and a stately shrine soon rose on the eastern shore of the river Bakreswar containing two graven images, the larger of which represented Astabakra. There is no evidence of the present temple being such an ancient one. A tablet records that a portion of the edifice was erected by one Darpanarayan in the year 1761 AD. There are eight hot springs of varying temperatures. The hottest, known as the Agni Kundu, is not far short of {{F|200}}. It is said that the water has healing powers. There is a large pond for bathers. Some piped water is also available for those who do not desire to get down into the pond. ==Get in== {{mapframe|layer=W}} Bakreshwar is on the Siuri-Dubrajpur Road. There are two such roads - one via Chhinpai (near which is the power station) and the other via Bakrehwar. The latter is the lesser used and slightly longer route. Buses ply on this route.

The island, home to a little over 4 million people, is about {{km|144}} long from east to west and {{km|80}} north to south. The word "paradise" is understandably used a lot in Bali. Friendly, hospitable people; a magnificently visual and spiritual culture; and spectacular beaches with great surfing and diving have made Bali the top tourist attraction in Indonesia. The vast majority of international visitors to Indonesia go nowhere else but Bali. This popularity is not without its bad sides&mdash;once paradisical [[Kuta]] has degenerated into a congested warren of concrete, scammers and touts extracting a living by overcharging tourists. The island's visibility also drew the unwanted attention of terrorists in 2002 and 2005. However, Bali has managed to retain its magic. Bali is a marvellous destination with something for everyone, and though heavily visited, there are spots where you will be able to find serenity. At peak season, before COVID-19, more than 400,000 foreign tourists flocked to Bali. A huge surge of domestic tourists arrived during school holidays (middle and end of year) & around the Ied season where it is practically quiet elsewhere in Indonesia. Fortunately, they can all be absorbed by a severe oversupply of hotels, which experts predicted will occur for at least a decade. Because of this however, a 4-star hotel room in Kuta, Legian and Seminyak can be reserved for just above US$20 per day, and last-minute deals can produce rates of less than US$20 per day! As more travelers visit, especially due to the visa-free regime introduced by the Indonesian government, this small resort island has been striving to provide more modern attractions and facilities to travelers of different interests, while retaining the exotic traditional culture & spotless natural beauty that has always been the point of interest for visitors. Highly frequented areas such as the beaches in central Bali have been gentrifying. Bali has many narrow streets and traffic jams are common in Bali throughout the year, especially Kuta, Legian and the Seminyak area, Central Denpasar city, Gatot Subroto Timur, access to Gianyar and access to the east. Streets in Kuta and Legian and Seminyak have been made one-way. For a 500-m journey in the opposite direction of a one-way street, walking can get you there in 15 minutes; if you take your car, it might take up to a half hour. Please take care to allow enough time to catch your plane. ===History=== [[File:Pura tanah lot sunset no3.jpg|thumb|300px|Sunset at Tanah Lot Temple, built in the 16th century.]] '''[[Hinduism]]''' first appeared in Bali as early as 100 BC, but the unique culture which is so apparent to any current day visitor to Bali hails largely from neighbouring [[Java]] combined with elements of Bali's distant animist past. The Javanese Majapahit Empire's rule over Bali became complete in the 14th century when Gajah Mada, Prime Minister of the Javanese king, defeated the Balinese king at Bedulu. The rule of the '''Majapahit Empire''' resulted in the initial influx of Javanese culture, most of all in architecture, dance, painting, sculpture and the '''wayang puppet theatre'''. All of this is still very apparent today. The very few Balinese who did not adopt this Javanese Hindu culture are known today as the ''Bali Aga'' ("original Balinese") and still live in the isolated villages of Tenganan near [[Candidasa]] and Trunyan on the remote eastern shore of Lake Batur at [[Kintamani]]. With the rise of Islam throughout the Indonesian archipelago, the Majapahit Empire in Java fell and Bali became independent near the turn of the 16th century. The Javanese aristocracy found refuge in Bali, bringing an even stronger influx of Hindu arts, literature and religion. Divided among a number of ruling ''rajas'' (kings), occasionally battling off invaders from now Muslim [[Java]] to the west and making forays to conquer [[Lombok]] to the east, the north of the island was finally captured by Dutch colonialists in a series of brutal wars from 1846 to 1849. Southern Bali was not conquered until 1906, and eastern Bali did not surrender until 1908. In both 1906 and 1908, many Balinese chose death over disgrace and fought en masse until the bitter end, often walking straight into Dutch cannons and gunfire. This manner of suicidal fighting to the death was known as ''puputan''. Victory was bittersweet, as the images of the ''puputan'' highly tarnished the Dutch in the international community. Perhaps to make up for this, the Dutch did not make the Balinese enter into a forced cultivation system, as had happened in Java, and instead tried to promote Balinese culture through their policy of ''Baliseering'' or the '''"Balinisation of Bali"'''. In 1945, Bali became part of the newly independent Republic of Indonesia. After the 1965 coup d'état that ushered in the Suharto regime, state-instigated, anticommunist violence spread across Indonesia. In Bali, it is said that the rivers ran red with the reprisal killings of suspected communists. The death toll is estimated to have been about 80,000 people, which was roughly 5% of Bali's population at the time. The most recent chapter in Bali's history began in the 1970s when intrepid hippies and surfers discovered Bali's beaches and waves, and '''tourism''' soon became the biggest income earner. Despite the shocks of the terrorist attacks in 2002 and 2005, the island continues to draw crowds, and Bali's culture is as magnificent as ever. ===Culture=== [[File:DailyTributeBali.jpg|thumb|Ubiquitous ''canang sari'' offerings]] Unlike most other islands in largely Muslim Indonesia, Bali is a pocket of '''Hindu''' religion and culture. Every aspect of Balinese life is suffused with religion, but the most visible signs are the tiny '''offerings''' (''canang sari'') found in every Balinese house, workplace, restaurant, souvenir stall and airport check-in desk. These leaf trays are made daily and can contain an enormous range of offering items: flowers, glutinous rice, cookies, salt, and even cigarettes and coffee! They are set out with burning incense sticks and sprinkled with holy water at least three times a day before every meal. Don't worry if you kick or step on one accidentally, as they are placed on the ground for this very purpose and will be swept away anyway. Balinese Hinduism diverged from the mainstream well over 500 years ago and is quite different from what you would see in [[India]] and the rest of [[South Asia]]. The primary deity is '''Sanghyang Widi Wasa''' (Acintya), the "all-in-one god" for which other gods like Vishnu (''Wisnu'') and Shiva (''Civa'') are merely manifestations, and instead of being shown directly, he is depicted by an empty throne wrapped in the distinctive ''poleng'' black-and-white chessboard pattern and protected by a ceremonial ''tedung'' umbrella. [[File:PuriSaren EmptyThrone.JPG|thumb|An empty throne of Sanghyang Widi Wasa, with ''poleng'' cloth and ''tedung'' umbrella, [[Ubud]]]] The Balinese are master '''sculptors'''. Temples and courtyards are replete with statues of gods and goddesses like ''Dewi Sri'', the goddess of rice and fertility, as well as guardians and protecting demons like toothy ''Rakasa'', armed with a club. These days though, entire villages like Batubulan have twigged onto the tourist potential and churn out everything imaginable from Buddhas to couples entwined in acrobatic poses for the export and souvenir market. Balinese '''dance''' and '''music''' are also just as famous and a major attraction for visitors to the island. As on neighbouring [[Java]], the ''gamelan'' orchestra and ''wayang kulit'' shadow puppet theatre predominate. Dances are extremely visual and dramatic, and the most famous include: * '''Barong''' or "lion dance" &mdash; a ritual dance depicting the fight between good and evil, with performers wearing fearsome lion-like masks. This dance is often staged specifically for tourists as it is one of the most visually spectacular and the storyline is relatively easy to follow. Barong dance performances are not hard to find. * '''Calonarang''' &mdash; a spectacular dance which is a tale of combating dark magic and exorcising the evil spirits aligned with the witch-queen Rangda. The story has many variations and rarely are two Calonarang plays the same. If you can find an authentic Calonarang performance, then you are in for a truly magical experience. * '''Kecak''' or "monkey dance" &mdash; actually invented in the 1930s by resident German artist Walter Spies for a movie, but a spectacle nonetheless. Up to 250 dancers in concentric circles chant "kecak kecak", while a performer in the centre acts out a spiritual dance. An especially popular Kecak dance performance is staged daily at [[Bukit Peninsula|Uluwatu]] Temple. * '''Legong Keraton''' &mdash; perhaps the most famous and feted of all Balinese dances. Performed by young girls, this is a dance of divine nymphs hailing from 12th century Java. Try to find an authentic Legong Keraton with a full-length performance. The short dance performances often found in tourist restaurants and hotels are usually extracts from the Legong Keraton. ===Festivals=== {{infobox|The Day of Absolute Silence|'''Nyepi''' is a very special day to the Balinese as this is the day that they have to fool all evil spirits that no one is actually on Bali - hence the need for silence. If this is achieved, then it is believed that the evil spirits will go looking elsewhere for their prey and leave Bali alone for another year. Balinese people are very religious and life is full of ritual. Nyepi is one of the most important days in their calendar. All ports of entry are closed, although emergency services do still open, and literally '''no one''' may be outdoors or be seen doing anything indoors. If one does choose to observe, fire (which means cooking), entertainment, and anything that uses electricity must be '''turned off''', as is travelling and doing work; they should instead meditate in silence from the sunrise on the day to the sunrise on the following day. While your hotel may give at least some exceptions (and may not check your rooms) on what you can do indoors, at the very least you will be asked to remain in your room most of the time and keep all noises and lighting at minimum. Nyepi also serves to remind the Balinese of the need for tolerance and understanding in their everyday life. In fact, Hinduism on Bali is unique because it is woven into and around the original Balinese animistic religion. The two now have become one for the Balinese, a true sign of tolerance and acceptance. '''Nyepi Dates:''' * Sunday, 12 March 2021 * Thursday, 3 March 2022 }} [[File:Nyepifest auf Bali.jpg|thumb|320px|Ogoh-Ogoh procession on the eve of Nyepi]] There are an estimated 20,000 temples (''pura'') on the island, each of which holds festivals (''odalan'') at least twice a year. With many auspicious days throughout the year there are always festivities going on. The large island-wide festivals are determined by two local calendars. The 210 day ''wuku'' or ''Pawukon'' calendar is completely out of sync with the Western calendar, meaning that the dates of festivals and events rotate wildly throughout the solar year. The lunar ''saka'' (''caka'') calendar roughly follows the Western year. * '''Funerals''' (''pitra yadnya'') are another occasion of pomp and ceremony, when the deceased (often several at a time) are ritually cremated in extravagantly colourful rituals (''ngaben''). * '''Galungan''' is a ten day festival which comes around every 210 days and celebrates the death of the tyrant Mayadenawa. Gods and ancestors visit earth and are greeted with gift-laden bamboo poles called ''penjor'' lining the streets. The last day of the festival is known as '''Kuningan'''. * '''Nyepi''', or the '''Hindu New Year''', also known as the day of absolute silence, is usually celebrated sometime in March or April. If you are in Bali in the days preceding Nyepi, you will see amazing colourful giants (''ogoh ogoh'') being created by every ''banjar''. On the eve of Nyepi, the ''ogoh ogoh'' parade through the streets, a breathtaking sight not to be missed. There are good reasons to avoid Nyepi as well, but for many travellers these will be outweighed by the privilege of experiencing such a unique annual festival. Absolutely everything on the island shuts down between 06:00 on the day of the new year and 06:00 the following morning, including the airport and ferry harbours, though emergency services will remain on standby and get out as needed. Tourists are confined to their hotels and asked to be as quiet as possible for the day. Getting out will risk being reprimanded by the community police (''pecalang''). As the precise date of Nyepi changes every year, and isn’t finally set until later in the preceding year, flights will be open for booking at first, only to be cancelled or moved accordingly. This also means altering all your travel arrangements to Bali. All national public holidays in [[Indonesia]] are observed in Bali, although Ramadan does not have much of a fanfare here compared to the country's Muslim majority regions. ===Read=== Bali's unique culture has been widely studied by anthropologists, both professional and amateur. Interested visitors and artists (some of whom made Bali their home) have also written about the island. Here's a reading shortlist: * ''Island of Bali'' (Periplus Classics Series), Miguel Covarrubias. When the Mexican artist Miguel Covarrubias wrote his outsider's impression of Balinese life and culture in 1937, he surely could not have imagined that well into the next century his work would still be considered the most authoritative text on the subject. Absolutely ''vital'' reading, and it is astounding how little has changed in Bali since this book was written. More on Covarrubias' time in Bali, including his wonderful paintings, can be found in the coffee table book ''Covarrubias in Bali'' (EDM Books) by Adrian Williams and Yu-Chee Chong. * ''A Short History of Bali: Indonesia's Hindu Realm'' (A Short History of Asia series), Robert Pringle. The history of Bali from pre-Bronze Age times to the start of the current millennium, and an examination of Bali's importance and relevance to modern-day Indonesia. * ''Bali Raw: An Expose of the Underbelly of Bali, Indonesia'' (Monsoon Books), Malcolm Scott. An Australian author, who lived in Bali for almost a decade, reveals the darker side of the island &mdash; the sometimes violent nightclub scene, rampant prostitution, the prevalence of AIDS and drug and alcohol-induced Western hooliganism. * ''A Little Bit One O'clock: Living with a Balinese Family'' (Ersania Books), William Ingram. A whimsical, insightful, and at times very touching account of an expatriate American living with a Balinese family in the 1990s. * ''The House of Our Ancestors'' (KITLV press), Thomas Reuter. Probably the most thorough and readable study of the [[Candidasa#Understand|Bali Aga]], the pre-Majapahit indigenous Balinese. * ''A House in Bali'' (Tuttle), Colin McPhee. A classically trained musician who was spellbound when he heard a recording of Balinese gamelan music, McPhee travelled to Bali in the 1930s and wrote this superb insight into local music, life and culture. Still very relevant reading. ===Climate=== [[File:Tirta Gangga Rice Paddies.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Rice paddies in East Bali with Mount Agung in the background]] Daytime temperatures are pleasant, varying between 20–33⁰C (68–93⁰F) year-round. From December to March, the west monsoon can bring heavy showers and high humidity, but days are still often sunny with the rains starting in the late afternoon or evening and passing quickly. From June to September, the humidity is low and it can be quite cool in the evenings. At this time of the year there is hardly any rain in the lowland coastal areas. Even when it is raining across most of Bali, you can often enjoy sunny, dry days on the [[Bukit Peninsula]] which receives ''far'' less rain than any other part of the island. On the other hand, in central Bali and in the mountains, you should not be surprised by cloudy skies and showers at any time of the year. At higher elevations such as [[Bedugul]] or [[Kintamani]], it gets distinctly chilly and you will need either a sweater or jacket after the sun sets. ===Time=== Bali is in the UTC+8 time zone (known in Indonesia as WITA, ''Waktu Indonesia Tengah''), the same as [[Western Australia]], [[Kuala Lumpur]], [[Singapore]], [[Philippines]], [[China]] and [[Taiwan]], and an hour ahead of [[Jakarta]]. ===Electricity=== Electricity is supplied at 220 V, 50 Hz. Outlets are the European standard CEE-7/7 "Schukostecker" or "Schuko" or the compatible, but non-grounded, CEE-7/16 "Europlug" types. ===Tourism information centres=== * {{listing | name=Tourism information | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=166 (from a landline in Bali only), +62 361 166 (mobile) | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit= | content= }} * {{listing | name=Bali Tourism Board | alt= | url=https://www.balitourismboard.or.id/ | email= | address=Jl Raya Puputan No. 41, Denpasar | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+62 361 235 600 | tollfree= | fax=+62 361 239200 | hours= | price= | content= }} Some major destinations in Bali have their own tourism offices; contact details are given in the relevant destination articles. ==Talk== The native language of locals is '''[[Balinese phrasebook|Balinese]]''', which is related to but not mutually intelligible with [[Indonesian phrasebook|Indonesian]]. Because all Balinese people are bilingual in Balinese and Indonesian, and Indonesian is used more, particularly in daily conversations, learning Balinese is not essential to communicate. Nevertheless, locals are proud of their language, so efforts by visitors to speak Balinese will be warmly received by the locals. In tourist regions, English and some other foreign languages are widely spoken. ==Get in== ===By plane=== * {{go | name=[[Ngurah Rai International Airport]] | alt={{IATA|DPS}}, also known as Denpasar International Airport | url= | email= | address= | lat=-8.748056 | long=115.1675 | directions=The airport is in Tuban, between [[Kuta]] and [[Jimbaran]], roughly 45 minutes away from [[Denpasar]] | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Ngurah Rai International Airport | image=Air Paradise International Airbus A300 TTT-1.jpg | wikidata=Q1061846 | content=Ngurah Rai is Indonesia's 3rd busiest international airport (after [[Jakarta]] and [[Surabaya]]) and a major hub well connected to [[Australia]], [[Asia]], the [[Middle East]], and the rest of Indonesia. A number of International airlines serve this airport including several [[air travel on a budget|low cost carriers]] (LCC). The airport is the hub for island hopping tours to the [[Nusa Tenggara|Nusa Tenggara Islands]]. [http://www.garuda-indonesia.com Garuda Indonesia], [http://www.transnusa.co.id/ TransNusa] and Wings Air operate propeller jets to the islands. }} See the [[Indonesia]] article for information about visa regulations. ====Get to/from the airport==== {{infobox|Prepaid taxi fares from Ngurah Rai Airport to main Bali destinations| --Subject to change-- * Kuta: Rp80,000 * Tuban: Rp55,000 * Legian: Rp95,000 * Seminyak: Rp110,000 to Rp135,000 * Jimbaran: Rp100,000 to Rp150,000 * Denpasar: Rp125,000 to Rp150,000 * Sanur: Rp150,000 * Nusa Dua: Rp150,000 to Rp185,000 * Ubud: Rp300,000 to Rp350,000 * Padang Bai: Rp400,000 * Candidasa: Rp425,000 * Amed: Rp750,000 * Lovina: Rp650,000 * Pemuteran: Rp850,000 }} Transportation from the airport is not too bad but is far from perfect too. Some hotels organise free transfers from the airport, and plenty of public taxis are also available: go to the ticketing booth, on the right side just after the exit, buy a fixed fare ticket and a driver will be assigned to you trouble-free. However, the ticketing booth closes after the last flight arrival for the day and re-opens at 08:00, so anyone wanting an airport taxi during this period should be prepared to haggle or seek the alternatives described below. If you are travelling on a restricted budget, you can flag down a '''Blue Bird Taxi''' from outside the airport area (but now it will take at least 8–10 minutes walk from the new International terminal, more from the Domestic; there's neither clearly signed way out, nor are there many people using this way), or try and catch a taxi dropping off passengers near Domestic terminal departures. Blue Bird Taxis are safe and reliable, and their metered fares are cheaper than the prepaid taxi fare (especially for shorter rides, e.g. Rp20,000–30,000 to Kuta). Depending on how much baggage you have and how bulky it is, you might want to evaluate whether all that extra effort is worth it to save a few dollars. If you do make the effort to walk outside the airport to the street, you can also flag down a '''bemo''' (local minivan). Most of the bemos in this area will be heading to [[Kuta]] (the road to Kuta heads to the left looking out from the airport gate), but don't absolutely bank on it, and be prepared for a hot, crowded journey. It should cost no more than a few thousand rupiah per person (ask the driver beforehand). And if you are a lone backpacker you can try an '''ojek''' (unmetered motorcycle taxi) in the first intersection outside the airport (3 to 5 minutes walk), for less than half of a taxi meter fare. If you are not sure if a taxi can reach your hotel because of narrow streets, or you are unsure of your hotel's location, an ojek is a good option: they frequently take narrow streets as shortcuts, use pedestrian paths and sometimes go against traffic on theoretically one-way streets. An ojek to Kuta costs Rp10,000 to Rp15,000. Another option is '''ride-share''' companies such as GoCar from Gojek and GrabCar. You can go to Kuta for about Rp 30,000; if you are traveling light, both also offers motorcycle pick up for about a half price than using the car. However, as they are not allowed to pick you up from the airport, the driver may prompt you to tell the security that you already have pickup arrangements, if asked. Alternatively, they can text or call you to meet them somewhere at or just off the airport. The public bus service, '''Trans Sarbagita''' is one of the two public buses allowed to enter the airport. You can catch the bus at both the domestic and international arrivals. Bus stops are shaded but small, so be on the lookout or ask for directions. The fare is Rp3,500 from the airport, although it only stops at major roads and intersections and does not go into main hotel areas, so you will either need to walk or get a taxi from the nearest bus stop. After several months of dormant, Trans Sarbagita reruns with limited schedule, 09:15 to Nusa Dua, 11:00 to Batu Bulan, 13:15 to Nusa Dua, 15:00 to Batu Bulan, 17:15 to Nusa Dua, and 19:00 to Batu Bulan. Another public bus is called '''Trans Metro Dewata'''. The line or corridor 02 serves the route from the airport to the downtown of [[Denpasar]] with numerous bus stops might be looked at '''Moovit''' app. The bus is the cheapest AC transportation because it is free of charge. An electronic money card like '''Brizzi''', '''E-money''', '''Flazz''' or '''TapCash''' is required. ===By bus=== There are direct bus services to Bali from all major cities on [[Java]] and [[Lombok]] that link with ferries for sea crossings. These are cheap and easy, but slow. * [http://www.peramatour.com '''Perama'''] bus company is a good option for budget travelers. There are no Perama bus from Java, only from [[Mataram]], Lombok. Various executive buses with air conditioning are available from some cities in Java, like [[Bandung]], [[Jakarta]], [[Semarang]], [[Surabaya]] and [[Yogyakarta]]. The ticket can be easily booked from '''easybook''', '''redbus''' and '''traveloka''' app or website. ===By boat=== Ferries cross from [[Banyuwangi|Ketapang]] on the island of [[Java]] to [[Gilimanuk]] in western Bali every 15 minutes, 24 hr every day. These are very cheap, and the crossing takes just 30 minutes (plus sometimes considerable waiting around for loading and unloading). A number of speedboats and catamarans operate into Benoa Harbour near [[Kuta]] (~2 hr) and [[Padangbai]] (80 minutes) from the [[Gili Islands]] of [[Lombok]]. These are convenient for some travellers but are frequently priced much higher than the equivalent air crossing. Crossing times are subject to weather and other operational conditions and trip times can longer than those publicised. Benoa Harbour with 12 metre depth received more than 50 ships with more than 1,000 passengers and crew each a year. Caution should be used in selecting a suitable operator and craft for a ''fast boat'' crossing to Lombok. Some of the operators on these routes use inappropriate equipment, overload the boats and have inadequate levels of crew training, personnel and safety equipment. The Lombok Strait fast boat crossing can be subject to inclement weather and equipment breakdowns. Boarding an overloaded craft or departing in adverse weather conditions may lead to serious disappointment. There are no operators offering craft suitable for open water all-weather crossings. Rather they are operating light duty hulled craft of fibreglass or aluminium construction powered by outboard petrol engines. On two previous occasions operators have introduced a more suitably specified and equipped craft powered by diesel inboard engines and with a more robust hull construction appropriate to open water use. Both these craft were withdrawn from service as operations could not be sustained in competition with the lower cost base alternatives. Several of these light duty craft have already sunk or been run onto a reef or beach to avoid foundering whilst carrying passengers. Fortunately they had not yet entered open waters at the time and nearby assistance was available. There have been no fatalities from these incidents. There are also public ferries from [[Lembar]], [[Lombok]], to [[Padang Bai]] every few hours, with the trip taking around 3–4 hours. This service has notable safety, operational and equipment standards issues. Some ferries are better than others, or worse depending upon your perspective. Delays are commonplace with public ferries due to loading and unloading issues. Services may be cancelled or postponed during periods of inclement weather, and sea crossings during the monsoon period can be uncomfortable or dangerous. See the [[Gili Islands]] and [[Lombok]] articles for full details concerning travelling and arriving in Lombok and its nearby islands. Cruise ships stop for tours, shopping, or to begin or end a cruise. Some ships still anchor off-shore toward the southeast side of the island and tender guests to shore. Modest sized ships can choose to dock at the port of Benoa not far from [[Denpasar]], [[Kuta]] and [[Sanur]]. In 2018, 75 ships docked at Benoa Port. There the dock area is has an industrial pier with few amenities and no ATMs, but taxis and private car operators when cruise ships dock there. It also has a multi-purpose pier with an open-air terminal building. It has a currency exchange and modest concessionaires, taxis at the ready, and space for many medium buses for tours. At both piers, taxis for cruisers may have high fixed prices to popular destinations. They should instead use their meters, sometimes adding tolls when use of causeways necessary. Private cars for hire will often require patient negotiation on price. Other ships also run from Candi Dasa and Amed, and the operators can pick up at Nusa Dua, Ngurah Rai International Airport and even Ubud. But only few of the operators can serve flop destinations such as visiting 2 or 3 destinations. It should be arranged in advanced, because it's not easy to flop from one island of Gilis to the others and also to Senggigi. Their "cruise" ship fees often include pick up at hotels or airport. ===By car=== It is also possible to access Bali by car from Java’s major cities, albeit a very long distance. For instance, you must spend approximately 18 hours (total, plus ferries and the overall duration from Gilimanuk to Denpasar) for a drive from Jakarta to [[Denpasar]]. Through Surabaya, which is much closer, lets you spend lesser time &ndash; 10 hours. From Semarang, you must drive for 13 hours, and from Bandung, 18 hours. Ferry costs at [[Banyuwangi]] cost around Rp.141,000 to Rp.159,000 for a regular passenger car. From [[Mataram]], it is a 4-to-5 hour drive plus ferries; from [[Lombok]], also plus ferries, is a 5-hour drive. ==Get around== [[File:Kecak Dance at Uluwatu.jpg|thumb|Kecak dance performance at Uluwatu]] Bali is a fairly large island and you will need a method to get around if you plan on exploring more than the hotel pool. Rapid, seemingly uncontrolled development and aging infrastructure mean that the roads struggle to cope. In major tourist areas the traffic is chaotic, and there are daily traffic jams. Particular blackspots are [[Ubud]], [[Kuta]], [[Seminyak]] and [[Denpasar]]. For different excursions around the island, it is common to join a tour via your hotel or at one of the many street agencies which are found everywhere in booths normally marked "Tourist Information". Once you arrive at your destination you may encounter difficult walking conditions as sidewalks in most parts of Bali are simply the covered tops of storm-water drains and in many places only 60&nbsp;cm (2&nbsp;ft) wide. This makes for uncomfortable single-file walking next to traffic. Often sidewalks are blocked by a motorbike or a caved-in section, necessitating dangerous darting into traffic. Many of the island's conventional streets are simply not pedestrian friendly. Beach areas and major tourist areas are easier to walk around, and Sanur in particular has a wide beachfront pathway with many cafes and bars. But although the walking conditions are difficult, they are by no means impossible. Lots of tourists and locals travel the roads by foot, and even the traffic is generally very accommodating to pedestrians if it is given time to react. ===By bus=== The '''[http://peramatour.com Perama]''' bus company serves the budget traveller well in Bali and beyond, and they have offices in several major tourist destinations on the island. There are other scheduled shuttle buses between many of Bali's most popular destinations too. A public bus service called '''Trans Sarbagita''' is a reliable option if you roam around Denpasar south towards Nusa Dua. TransSarbagita is similar to [[Jakarta]]'s, but has no dedicated lane. The buses are comfortable and air-conditioned, in contrast with bemos that have been relied upon for commuting. These buses stop only at elevated bus stops on the road curb. All Trans Sarbagita routes operate from 05:00 to 21:00, every 15 minutes though expect that to extend to half an hour due to traffic around Kuta. Though at least 17 routes are planned, only 3 are running as of June 2017 alongside a couple of feeder routes: *Line 1: Denpasar City to Garuda Wisnu Kencana, via Kuta (Dewa Ruci), Jimbaran *Line 2: Batubulan Terminal to Nusa Dua, via Sanur and Kuta (Dewa Ruci or Sentral Parkir bus stops are both 1 kilometre away from the beach). Perhaps most useful for tourists. Fare is Rp3,500. *Line 8: Pesiapan to Ngurah Rai Airport, via Mengwi *Feeder Line 1: Round trip around Denpasar *Feeder Line 9: Garuda Wisnu Kencana to Tanjung Benoa,via Nusa Dua *Feeder Line 10: Kedonganan to Uluwatu, via Jimbaran & Garuda Wisnu Kencana Another public bus service is called [https://temanbus.com/bali/ '''Trans Metro Dewata'''] with fixed stops. The fare is Rp0. An electronic money card is required to take this public transport such as Brizzi, E-money, Flazz, and TapCash. The routes called ''Koridor'' (corridor) are: *Corridor 01: Sentral Parkir Kuta to Terminal Pesiapan *Corridor 02: GOR Ngurah Rai to Ngurah Rai Airport *Corridor 03: Pantai Matahari Terbit to Terminal Ubung *Corridor 04: Sentral Parkir Monkey Forest to Terminal Ubung *Corridor 05: Sentral Parkir Kuta to Terminal Ubung For the detail stops, you may use Moovit app. '''[http://kura2bus.com/ Kura-Kura Bus]''' is a public shuttle service that operates from southern Bali to Ubud, but oriented towards tourists as it stops at hotels and places of interest. Fares range from Rp20,000 for a single trip around Kuta, Legian, and Seminyak, to Rp80,000 for Ubud. A 3-day or 7-day travel pass would be much more useful if you want to see most of what Bali has to offer. ===By taxi=== {{infobox|Beware of scamming|Due to a high competition of taxis, several scams have crept up. Tourists could end up paying about 10 times the normal price. The drivers use a taxi with a broken meter and threaten to call the police if passengers don't pay the visible fare. Use taxis from reliable taxi companies as the first choice.}} Metered taxis are very common in southern Bali as far north as [[Denpasar]], but few and far between elsewhere. The starting flag fall charge is Rp5,000 for the first two kilometres and the meter ticks up Rp5,000 per km after that. Waiting time is charged at Rp30,000 per hour. Trips outside southern Bali will incur an extra charge of 30%, as the driver has to go back empty. * {{listing | name=BlueBird Bali Taksi | alt= | url=http://www.bluebirdgroup.com/about | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+62 361 701111 | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit= | content=By far the largest and most reliable taxi company, they have a telephone call service for both instant taxis and advance bookings. If you are hailing a taxi on the street, Bluebird cars are sky blue with a white top light. The cars are modern and the drivers well informed with a decent level of English language ability. There are several other reliable taxi companies but these are not always easy to identify. If entering a taxi with no working meter, you are probably being deceived, you can negotiate a price with the driver but it is unlikely to work to your favour. Always insist on the meter being turned on, do not believe stories that the taxi has no meter or that it is "broken" and leave the taxi if the request to use the meter is not met. Bluebird has their own app for calling taxis, which works much the same way as Grab or Uber. You can also use the app to reserve a taxi in advance, which is helpful for early morning rides to catch a flight. }} If day-tripping, it is often cheaper and more convenient to arrange for your taxi to wait and take you back. The rideshare apps '''Grab''' and '''GOJEK''', which offer on-demand car and motorcycle taxis, are worth the cost of a SIM card: it is usually significantly cheaper than a regular taxi and has an upfront fare system with driver rating that eliminates scams. You'll be told the driver's licence plate in advance, and can see how far away they are. You can pay through the app or in cash. Coverage is more limited much north of Denpasar, but you should be getting one in less than 15 minutes. Rideshare apps are controversial in Bali, with signs in some areas saying that they're not allowed. You may have success calling one anyway, but the driver may want you to be discreet. A couple of hotels and the airport prohibit them from picking up passengers; if you are confronted by the hotel or a regular taxi driver about this, saying that you have pre-arrangements with them for a day excursion may work. Requesting for pick-up a few metres away from your intended spot will also help avoid a confrontation. It takes 20 minutes to walk out of the airport and the convoluted road is not convenient for suitcases. Grab Car is available 24 hours at Kuta, Seminyak, Legian, Denpasar and Sanur. ===By bemo=== Bemos are minivans which serve as a flexible bus service and are Bali's "traditional" form of transportation. However they have largely given way to metered taxis in the south. Fares on shared bemos can be very cheap, but drivers will often insist that foreign tourists charter the entire vehicle, in which case they will usually ask for a price equivalent to a taxi or even more. ===By car or motorbike=== {{infobox|Words of warning when renting vehicles|A sizeable number of travellers seem to leave their brains at home when visiting Bali and think it's acceptable to ride a motorbike through extremely busy streets in a foreign land without wearing a helmet or drive a car without wearing a seatbelt, perhaps with common stereotypes about scoff-laws in Indonesia uppermost in their minds. But obviously, '''it's not'''. You'd be showing both a great deal of arrogance as a guest in a foreign country by thinking you are above the law of that country, ''and'' putting yourself at risk. When you rent any vehicle, wear the provided safety kit for your life's sake! Police have been on the lookout for helmet-less motorbike riders, and can fine them on the spot, whether foreigner or Indonesian. There are complaints of bribery or extortion, especially given the police officers' rudimentary English skills, but avoiding getting caught by obeying the law in the first place is the most sensible thing to do. If caught, show the required documents: the vehicle identification number and your IDP.}} Driving in Indonesia is on the left. Car and motorbike rentals are widely available but think very carefully about your ability to handle traffic in Bali with its different traffic rules&mdash;both formal and informal. Consider hiring a car and driver as you can relax, be safe and not get lost. If you wish to drive yourself you will find some international rental companies such as Hertz, Avis, Europcar and Sixt. A modern four door 6 to 8 seaters Toyota Avanza or Daihatsu Xenia should cost Rp250,000-Rp275,000 per day and a rough Suzuki Katana from Rp90,000 to Rp110,000 per day. Avanza and Xenia Automatic Transmission should add Rp50,000 per day. The cheap 4 seaters 2014 Low Cost Green Car Toyota Agya Manual or Daihatsu Ayla Manual is Rp150,000-Rp175,000 per day. You will also be given a vehicle identification number ('''S'''urat '''T'''anda '''N'''omor '''K'''endaraan) that you can show in case something happens with your vehicle, and if the specifications the renters described matched with the official documents. [[File:Seminyak Motorbikes.jpg|200px|thumb|Motorbikes for rent in Seminyak]] Some new surfing areas are only accessible by motorbike, and not all hotels have ample car parking, so you might be tempted to rent a motorcycle or scooter. This can be a frightening yet fascinating experience. Motorcycles are typically 125cc, some with automatic transmissions, and rental tariff is Rp50,000 or above per day (for a week or more, you can bargain for a cheaper price). In areas outside of the tourist enclaves of south Bali, a motorbike is a wonderful way to see the island, but in south Bali, with its crush of traffic, the chances of an accident are greatly increased. Keep in mind that the notion of paradise where everything is quiet and in harmony may not be true on the roads for many cases. Bali is no place to learn to ride a motorbike. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is required for vehicle rental, with a motorcycle endorsement if renting a motorbike, the IDP must match the licence class of the home country of issue and must be appropriate to the vehicle being used; both documents must be carried. The IDP is seldom requested by the person renting you the vehicle but will be required (along with the vehicle's STNK registration papers). If you're stopped by the police typically a Rp 50,000 "fine" will allow you to keep driving but this strategy will quickly unravel if there is an accident involving damage or injury. An IDP is easily obtainable from motoring clubs in your home country such as the AA in New Zealand and the UK and the AAA in Australia and the US. ===By rental car with a driver=== Rental car services owned by individuals or companies are easy to find in Bali and this is the best option for first time visitors. Using a rental car with a driver is certainly cheaper than a taxi and far more efficient than other public transportation. Drivers are usually English speaking, and can also act as informal tourist guides, recommending good destinations and restaurants. Renting from a large car company is naturally more expensive than from a private individual; ask hotel staff to recommend a good individually-owned rental car with a knowledgeable driver. Drivers should hold a licence to operate a tourism transport vehicle; if not, you can expect delays and inconvenience if stopped by officials. Price varies between Rp 300,000–600,000 per day (usually defined as 10 hours, but some car rentals are also offered for 5, 6 or 8 hours) depending on your negotiation skills and the class/age of the car. Make sure the price includes petrol and driver for the day. Petrol costs, after the removal of some government subsidies have escalated dramatically (although they still very cheap by international standards) and the distance travelled is a factor if you have not fixed a daily price. Entrance tickets to tourist destinations and any parking fees will be charged to you, and it is good form to buy lunch for your driver. For those on a tight schedule, visiting most of the major tourist destinations in Bali will need about 3 days with a rental car and driver. ===By bicycle=== Travel by bicycle is quite possible and provides a very different experience than other means of transport. You should bring your own touring bike, or buy locally&mdash;there is at least one well stocked bike shop in [[Denpasar]], but with a racing/mountain bike focus. Bicycles are also widely available for rent and some of the better hotels will even provide them free of charge. While traffic conditions may appear challenging at first, you will acclimatise after a few days, especially once you escape the chaotic heavy traffic of southern Bali. One popular bicycle route is [[Kintamani]] to Gianyar, 36 km of downhill or flat terrain through paddy fields, villages, and temples. Tour operators can pick you up at your hotel and take you to Kintamani where bicycles await. ==See== [[File:Brantan Bali Pura-Ulun-Danu-Bratan-01.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Part of the Ulun Danu Temple complex at Lake Bratan in Bedugul. Note the eleven-tiered ''meru''.]] ===Temples=== Bali's best known attractions are its countless '''Hindu temples'''. Each village is required by ''adat'' (customary law) to construct and maintain at least three temples: the ''pura puseh'' (temple of origin) at the ''kaja'' (pure) side of the village, the ''pura desa'' (village temple) at the centre for everyday community activities and the ''pura dalem'' (temple of the dead) at the ''kelod'' (unclean) end. Wealthy villages may well have more than these three obligatory temples, and additionally all family compounds have a temple of some nature. The nine '''directional temples''' (''kayangan jagat'') are the largest and most prominent. These are at strategic points across Bali and are designed to protect the island and its inhabitants from dark forces. [[Uluwatu|Pura Luhur Uluwatu (Uluwatu Temple)]], at the southern tip of Bali, is easily accessed and hence very popular, as is [[Tanah Lot]]. For the Balinese, the "mother temple" of [[Mount Agung#Besakih|Besakih]] on the slopes of [[Mount Agung]] is the most important of all and sits above the nine. The other seven directional temples are [[Bedugul|Pura Ulun Danu Bratan]], [[Kintamani|Pura Ulun Danu Batur]], [[Mount Agung|Pura Pasar Agung]], [[Tirta Gangga|Pura Lempuyang Luhur]], [[Candidasa|Goa Lawah]], [[Klungkung|Pura Masceti]] and [[Tabanan|Pura Luhur Batukaru]]. All of these are on either rugged high ground or at the water's edge, and this is a clear indication of the likely source of dark forces as far as the Balinese are concerned. '''Balinese temple design''' is an involved subject and one that baffles many visitors. Local geography has a fundamental effect on design, and two temples are rarely the same. Everything you see, be it decorative or structural, has a specific, well considered function which may be of an earthly or spiritual nature. There are, though, general elements which are common to the vast majority of temples, which are always split into three courtyards: ''jaba'' (outer courtyard), ''jaba tengah'' (middle courtyard) and ''jeroan'' (inner courtyard). Each of these courtyards contains various structures and/or shrines of differing levels of importance. The tiered, black-thatched roofs that you see on temples are made from a palm fibre, and this material is not permitted to be used for any roof other than those on temples. The elegant, pagoda-like tiered structure is itself called a ''meru'' (named after sacred ''Mount Meru (Mahameru)'', the home of the gods), and the most dramatic of them can consist of as many as 11 tiers. The number of tiers, though, is ''always'' an odd number. [[File:Bali temple diagram.png|right|thumb|220px|Example of a typical Balinese temple layout]] The temple entrance is always on the ''kelod'' axis point (facing ''away'' from Mount Agung) of the compound and is usually a gateway of some nature. This leads into the ''jaba'' which is the domain of humans and all things earthly. The jaba contains only minor shrines, is where some celebratory dance performances take place, and during special ceremonies is where the foods stalls are set up. Non-Hindu tourists are nearly always allowed to visit this part of a temple. A gateway called a ''candi bentar'' leads into the central courtyard which is called the ''jaba tengah''. This is the intermediary point between our earthly domain and the realm of the Gods, and this is where daily offerings are prepared in an open pavilion called a ''paon''. The jaba tengah also usually contains a large pavilion called a ''wantilan'', which is used for special dance performances. The ''kori agung'' gate leads into the ''jeroan''&mdash;the inner sacred area. This houses the most important shrines to different Hindu gods and deities and is where serious rituals and prayers take place. Shrines are many and varied but usually include a ''padmasana'', the throne of the supreme deity ''Sanghyang Widi Wasa''. The large pavilion in this section is called a ''gedong pariman'', which is always left completely empty to allow the gods to visit during ceremonies. Sometimes properly dressed visitors will be allowed into the jeroan and at other times not; it depends on the individual temple and the ceremonies that have been, or are about to be, performed. The most common and practical architectural features to be found in virtually all temples are gazebo pavilions called ''bales''. Each has a raised seating section and either an ''alang-alang'' (grass-thatched) or ''tali duk'' (black palm fibre-thatched) roof and has a myriad of social functions. ''Bales'' can serve as a place for the gamelan orchestra to sit, as a village meeting point, host dance performances or simply be a place of rest for worshipers. This part of traditional Balinese temple architecture has been copied by hotels all over the island and in the wider world. The open grass-roofed pavilions you see everywhere in Bali are all derived from this original piece of temple design. '''To enter any temple you must be appropriately dressed with a sarong and sash.''' These are always available for rental at the large temples which attract a lot of tourists (usually included if you're paying to enter, else a few thousand rupiah per set), but it's better to buy one of each when you arrive and use them throughout your visit. ===Landscape=== Most of the coastline of Bali is fringed by '''beaches''' of some type, with the exceptions being some important areas of mangrove forest in the southeast, and certain parts of the [[Bukit Peninsula]] where high cliffs drop straight to the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean. [[File:Legian beach.jpg|right|thumb|300px|[[Legian]] Beach in south Bali]] Unsurprisingly, given the volcanic nature of the island, black sand is the norm, but there are also some beaches in the south which have fine-grained white sand. Beaches that are especially safe for swimming include [[Jimbaran|Jimbaran Bay]] and virtually all of the north coast. At all times though, obey local swimming safety markers&mdash;far too many visitors to Bali drown each year after ignoring these. Bali's popular southern beaches are sometimes not the cleanest you will find. This is particularly true during the height of the wet season (December to January), when the heavy rains cause extensive agricultural runoff and garbage to be washed onto the beaches. Away from the coast, Bali is largely lush, green and fertile, and '''rice paddies''' are the dominant agricultural feature of the island. In some areas, paddies take the form of dramatic sculpted terraces which efficiently utilise every available acre of land for cultivation. Especially beautiful examples of terraced paddies can be found in the centre of the island north of [[Ubud]] and in east Bali around [[Tirta Gangga]]. Elsewhere, gently rolling rice fields make for very pleasing rural scenery. There are a number of rice field tours available, and these can involve staying at a resort in one of these areas. All of Bali's mountains are '''volcanoes''', some long dormant and some still active. At 3,142 m, magnificent [[Mount Agung]] dominates the landscape of [[East Bali]] and has not erupted since 1963. At the end of 2018, Mount Agung erupted, and as of August 2019 is still erupting, so there are 4 km radius of prohibited/safety zone from the crater rim. Much more active is [[Kintamani|Mount Batur]], which permanently smoulders and periodically produces a large bang and plumes of ashy smoke as pressure is released from within. Taking only 2 hr to climb, Batur is one of the most accessible active volcanoes in the whole of Indonesia. ===Art=== '''Art''', both traditional and modern, is everywhere in Bali and impossible to miss. [[Ubud]] is the artistic capital of the island with several museums and a variety of informal workshops and retail outlets. Ubud's museums showcase the works of local artists, both living and dead, as well as works by many foreign artists, who either have a strong affinity to Bali or have made the island their permanent home. ===Monuments=== A sad reminder of the modern world is the '''Bali Bomb Memorial''' on Jalan Legian in [[Kuta#See|Kuta]], which commemorates the 202 victims of the first Bali Bomb attack in October 2002. The site of the former Sari Club, obliterated in one of the blasts, lies adjacent to the monument and has not been redeveloped. There are several monuments commemorating the ''puputan'' (suicidal fight to the death) of the Balinese against the Dutch colonialists in the early 20th century. The two most famous are in the town centre of [[Klungkung]] in East Bali and in Puputan Park, [[Denpasar]]. ==Do== Bali's '''Hindu culture and history''' is both extraordinary and unique. Many visitors get so wrapped up in shopping, partying and beach life to miss the opportunity to understand and absorb at least some of this. You cannot fail to see temples, come across ceremonies and witness daily offerings, and those who take the time and effort to understand what is going on around them will find their visit very rewarding. The Balinese art of shadow puppetry (aka Wayang Kulit) is worth checking out during a visit to the island. There are several '''hot springs''' to be discovered in Bali. One of them, on the north coast of the island near [[Lovina]], is Air Banjar, where stone mouth carvings allow hot water to pass between the pools, which are set in lush gardens. Another good choice is at [[Kintamani|Toya Bungkah]] on the shores of Lake Batur, high in the north eastern mountains. [[File:Spa oils.jpg|300px|thumb|right|The scented oil menu at a spa in [[Sanur]]]] Bali is a paradise for [[spas|spa]] lovers, and all sorts of treatments are widely available. The Balinese '''''lulur''''' body scrub with herbs and spices&mdash;traditionally performed before a wedding ceremony&mdash;is particularly popular. '''Balinese massage''' is usually done with oil and involves long, Swedish-style strokes. In steep contrast to exorbitant western massage fees, Balinese massage is incredible value, and visitors should definitely avail themselves of this luxury. In local salons, a one-hour full body massage will cost between Rp 70,000 and 100,000, and the 2 hr ''mandi lulur'', which incorporates a body scrub and hydrating yogurt body mask in addition to the massage, will cost about Rp 150,000. The curiously named '''creambath''' is a relaxing scalp and shoulder massage, usually lasting 45 minutes, in which a thick conditioning cream is worked through the hair and into the scalp. A creambath typically costs about Rp 60,000. These same services in an upscale hotel will cost many times more. Bali is host to some of the finest '''yoga''' and well-being centres and retreats in the world. You can find an abundance of amazing yoga classes to suit all levels in most of the tourist areas. Look for the best yoga centres in [[Ubud]] and [[Seminyak]]. Bali is also now home to a number of renowned yoga teacher training centres. Good local resources for finding the best include [http://www.balispirit.com/ Bali spirit]. '''Weddings in Bali''' have become very popular. Many couples who are already legally married choose Bali as the place to renew their vows. Full wedding-organising services are widely available: ceremony arrangements, photography, videography, flowers, musicians, dancers and caterering. There are several wedding chapels available that are usually attached to luxury hotels, and the number is growing all the time. There are many professional organisers to handle your wedding in Bali, and these are easily found through the Internet. Destination weddings, featuring all types of religious and presentation arrangements, are becoming increasingly popular, with large private villas being one of the island's many offerings for venues. An excellent way to get to know and understand more of the country is to do some '''volunteer work'''. There are organisations that arrange work for international volunteers in Bali and other places in the region. ===Water activities=== [[File:Bali canyoning.jpg|thumb|Canyoning in Gitgit, Bali, Indonesia]] There are many interesting '''[[scuba diving]]''' sites around Bali. Particularly popular are the wreck of USAT ''Liberty'' at [[Amed|Tulamben]] in the east, the chilled out coral bommies in [[Padang Bai]], the serene reefs around [[West Bali National Park|Menjangan Island]] in the northwest, and dramatic drift diving off [[Nusa Penida]] in the south. Bali is a major teaching centre, and there are numerous reputable dive centres around the island affiliated with PADI and SSI. For those who want their diving to make a difference as well, dive voluntourism has gain a foothold in Bali, such as in [https://web.archive.org/web/20131205144659/http://www.divevoluntourism.com/dive-voluntourism-bali-sea-communities Sea Communities] in Les Village, Tejakula, where divers could help rebuild coral reefs and learn to catch ornamental fish in a sustainable way. Warm waters, crowds of young backpackers, cheap living and reliable waves keep Bali near the top of world '''surfing''' destinations. The southern coast at [[Kuta]], [[Legian]] and [[Canggu]], the [[Bukit Peninsula]] and [[Nusa Lembongan]] are the primary draws. Expert surfers usually head for the big breaks off the Bukit Peninsula, whilst beginners will find the gentler, sandy areas between Kuta and Legian to be ideal for learning. All Bali's surf beaches are described in the [http://www.indosurf.com.au Indo Surf and Lingo surfing guidebook]. There are formal surf schools on Legian beach and Kuta beach. The more adventurous might like to try informal lessons from one of the many local self-styled surf teachers to be found hanging on any beach in South Bali. Regular surf reports are provided by [http://www.baliwaves.com Baliwaves]. There are a number of reputable '''whitewater rafting''' operators in the [[Ubud]] area, and the rafting is of good quality, especially in the wet season. If you want to go in non commercial area and feel more sensations you can also do '''canyoning'''. Sport '''fishing''' is an increasingly popular activity with visitors to the island. Trolling, jigging and bottom fishing can all be very rewarding, with large game far from unusual. Charters are available from many coastal areas but the most popular points with a competitive range of options are Benoa Harbour and nearby Serangan close to [[Kuta]], just to the north in [[Sanur]] and [[Padang Bai]] on the east coast. '''[http://www.waterbom.com Waterbom]''' is a large water park in Jl Kartika Plaza in [[Kuta]], supposedly the second best in the world, defeating Disneyland and Dubai. ===Other sports, adventure and family activities=== Bali has become a famous destination for golfers. Most of the golf courses are international, with relatively cheap green fees and all-year play with convenient climate: "Bali Handara Kosaido Country Club" in the mountains near [[Bedugul]], the "Bali Golf & Country Club" in [[Nusa Dua]], a 9-hole course at the Grand Bali Beach Hotel in [[Sanur]], the "Nirwana Bali Golf Club" near Tanah Lot, the New Kuta Golf Course at Pecatu on the [[Bukit Peninsula]], and Bukit Pandawa Golf near Pandawa Beach. Visitors can see animals at the Bali Zoo in Singapadu near [[Ubud]], at the Bali Bird Park, at the Taro Elephant Park, and at the Bali Marine and Safari Park near Gianyar. Many companies also provide adventure activities such as '''Paragliding''' at [[Nusa Dua]], '''Mountain Cycling''' in the hills of [[Ubud]] or downhill cycling from [[Bedugul]] and [[Kintamani]], cycling with '''e-bikes''' in Mambal (South Ubud) and the UNESCO World Heritage site of Jatiluwih, '''Jungle Trekking''', '''Bungy Jumping''' on the beach in [[Seminyak]], '''Horse Riding''' in [[Seminyak]] and Umalas, and '''Hiking in the rice fields''' near [[Ubud]] and many other places in the hills. Nature can be observed while trekking in [[West Bali National Park]], at the Butterfly Park (''Taman Kupu Kupu'') in Wanasari, or at the Bali Botanical Gardens in [[Bedugul]]. Inside the Botanical Gardens, visitors can also get a bird's-eye view of nature from the [http://www.balitreetop.com Bali Treetop Adventure Park]. Hiking the Bali volcanoes is a popular option with visitors. ==Buy== Whether it is simple trinkets, a nice statue or high fashion boutiques that turn you on, Bali is a shopper's paradise. A huge range of very affordable products are offered to the point where shopping can overwhelm a visit if you allow it to. '''Clothing''' is a real draw. Popular sportswear brands are available in a multitude of stores in [[Kuta]] and [[Legian]] for prices approximately thirty to fifty per cent lower than you would pay at home. If the mass market is not your thing, try the ever increasing number of chic boutiques in [[Seminyak]] and support young local designers. Jalan Laksmana is a good starting point. Bali is an island of artisans, so '''arts and crafts''' are always popular. Try to head to the source if you can rather than buying from identikit shops in Kuta or Sanur. You will gain more satisfaction from buying an article direct from the maker and seeing the craftsman in action. Bali has a huge range of locally produced crafts including paintings, basketware, stone and wood carvings, silver and shell jewellery, ceramics, natural paper gifts and glassware. '''Dried spices and coffee''' are very popular items to take home. Most supermarkets have specially designed gift packages aimed at tourists, or, if you are visiting [[Bedugul]], buy at the Bukit Mungsu traditional market. Whatever you are buying, make sure you are in your best bargaining mode, as these skills will be required except in the higher-end stores that specifically state that their prices are fixed. And of course, bargaining is a lot of fun. For more general shopping, Bali is home to a myriad of small shops and supermarkets and you will not be short of options. 24-hour convenience stores have mushroomed in [[South Bali]] with the Circle K franchise chain being especially prominent. The staff at these always speak English and the product lines they stock are very much aimed at visitors; everything from beer and magazines to western foodstuffs and sun lotion are available around the clock. ==Eat== Bali has a huge variety of cafes and restaurants, serving both Indonesian and international food (see [[Indonesia]] for a menu reader). For better or worse, some American chains have established a presence here, although almost exclusively confined to the southern tourist areas. You will see KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut and Starbucks. Interestingly, the menus are often highly adapted to the local tastes. The menu at Pizza Hut looks nothing like one you find in Western countries. [[File:Bedugul street vendor bali.jpg|thumb|right|300px|A kaki lima food cart serving bakso, a typical streetside scene in Bali.]] Try the smaller local restaurants (called warungs) rather than touristy ones; the food is better and cheaper. Be sure to try the ubiquitous Indonesian dishes ''nasi goreng'' (fried rice), ''nasi campur'' (pronounced nasi champur, steamed rice with various vegetables and meats), and ''mie goreng'' (fried noodles). These dishes should rarely cost more than Rp 25,000 and are often considerably cheaper. Some of the most authentic food can be found from roving vendors called ''kaki lima'', which literally means "five legs": the three legs of the food cart and the vendor's own two legs. Go to the beaches of Kuta, Legian and Seminyak at sunset and find steaming hot ''bakso'', a delightful meatball and noodle soup, served up fresh for a very inexpensive Rp 5,000. You can season it yourself but be forewarned: Indonesian spices can be ferociously hot. Go easy until you find your heat tolerance level! '''Padang restaurants''' are a good choice for both the budget conscious and those visitors wishing to experience authentic Indonesian (but not Balinese) cuisine. These are usually marked with a prominent ''masakan padang'' sign and serve [[Padang#Eat|food from Padang]], Sumatra. The options are usually stacked on plates in the window. You choose what you want and it is served with steamed rice. The most famous Padang speciality is ''rendang sapi'' (spicy beef coconut curry) but there are always a number of chicken, fish, egg and vegetable options. Padang food is always ''halal'', and you'll eat well for Rp 15,000–20,000. ===Balinese food=== Actual Balinese food is common on the island but it has made few inroads in the rest of the country due to its emphasis on '''pork''', which is anathema to the largely Muslim population in the rest of the country. Notable dishes include: [[File:Satay Lilit.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Satay lilit - minced seafood on a lemon grass stick, grilled over charcoal]] * '''Babi guling''' &mdash; roast suckling pig. A large ceremonial dish served with rice that is usually ordered several days in advance, but also often available at night market stalls and selected restaurants. A very notable outlet for babi guling is Ibu Oka's in [[Ubud]]. * '''Bebek betutu''' &mdash; literally "darkened duck", topped with a herb paste and roasted in banana leaves over charcoal. The same method can also be used for chicken, resulting in ''ayam betutu''. * '''Lawar''' &mdash; covers a range of Balinese salads, usually involving thinly chopped vegetables, minced meat, coconut and spices. Traditionally, blood is mixed into this dish but it is often omitted for the more delicate constitutions of visitors. Green beans and chicken are a particularly common combination. * '''Sate lilit''' &mdash; minced seafood satay, served wrapped around a twig of lemongrass. * '''Urutan''' &mdash; Balinese spicy sausage, made from pork. Other Balinese specialities include: * '''Ayam panggang bumbu bawang mentah''' &mdash; grilled chicken with sliced shallots, chillies and lime. * '''Ayam panggang bumbu merah''' &mdash; grilled chicken with red chilli and shrimp paste sauce. * '''Ayam tutu''' &mdash; steamed chicken cooked with Balinese herbs and spices. * '''Tum ayam/ketopot''' &mdash; sliced chicken mixed with herbs and spices and steamed in banana leaves. * '''Ikan kakap bakar bumbu terasi''' &mdash; grilled snapper in local hot spices. * '''Sudang lepet''' &mdash; salted dry fish. * '''Pepes ikan laut''' &mdash; sliced fish mixed with herbs and spices, grilled, and served in a banana leaf. * '''Pelecing kangkung''' &mdash; water convolvulus with shrimp paste and lime. * '''Pelecing paku''' &mdash; fern tips with shrimp paste and lime. ===Dietary restrictions=== Unlike Indian Hindus, virtually all Balinese eat meat, and '''vegetarianism''' has traditionally been limited to part-time fasts for some priests. Cows, however, are considered sacred, so Balinese traditional foods do not include beef but do include pork, which is not halal for Muslims. It's best to assume that all local food is non-vegetarian unless assurances are given to the contrary. In particular, the Indonesian spice paste ''sambal'' is a hot paste of ground red chillies, spices and usually ''shrimp'' paste. Always check to see if the sambal being served to you contains shrimp paste&mdash;you can find it without at a few places. Additionally, ''kerupuk'' crackers with a spongy appearance contain shrimp or fish. As an alternative, ask for ''emping,'' a delicious meat-free cracker made from bean paste&mdash;it resembles a fried potato chip in appearance. Restaurants catering to tourists do nearly always provide some vegetarian options, and in places like [[Seminyak]] and [[Ubud]] there are even dedicated vegetarian restaurants. Halal restaurants catering to the Muslim minority exist, but may require a little searching for and tend to be downmarket. ''Padang'' restaurants (mentioned above) are a good option, and Muslims may also be able to eat in Javanese or Sundanese restaurants. Kosher food is virtually unknown. ===Prices=== A meal in a basic tourist-oriented restaurant will be around Rp 20,000–50,000/person. In a local ''restoran'' or ''warung'' the same meal might be about Rp 15,000 or less. Simple warungs or sometimes small tables in pedestrian zones sell ''nasi bungkus/nasi Bali'' (a pyramid-shaped banana leaf/paper-wrapped parcel of about 400 g of rice with several tasty extras such as shredded chicken, pindang egg, noodles and chili to take away) for not more than Rp 10,000. One very reliable option is ''nasi campur'' (rice with several options, chosen by the purchaser) for about Rp 10,000-15,000. Rice is often served at ambient temperature with the accompanying food much hotter, this is common practice in Indonesia. At the other end of the scale, Bali is home to a number of truly world-class fine-dining restaurants. [[Seminyak]] is home to many of the trendy independent options, and elsewhere on the island, the better five-star resorts have their own very high quality in-house restaurants with prices to match. At all but the cheapest local restaurants, it is normal for 10% government sales tax and 11% service charge to be added to your bill. Some restaurants include this in the price, but most expressly state these ''plus plus'' terms. July and August is the busiest season in Bali but the best deals can be had between October and April (apart from Christmas time). ==Drink== Most Balinese have nothing against a drink, and alcohol is widely available. ''Caution should be taken in buying spirits as a poisonings and deaths have occurred, due to unscrupulous operators cutting spirits with cheaper alternatives like methylated spirits. Beer is seen to be safe.'' Indonesia's most popular beer is the ubiquitous '''Bintang''', but the cheaper '''Bali Hai''' is nearly as widespread. Bintang is a fairly highly regarded classic light Asian beer, but Bali Hai is a rather bland lager, and despite the name it's actually brewed in a suburb of Jakarta. Another Indonesian beer is '''Anker'''. Foreign brands Carlsberg, Heineken, and San Miguel are all brewed in Indonesia as well, and widely available. A wide range of more expensive imported beers are available. Beer is relatively expensive in local terms, though still cheap by western standards; at Rp22,000 and up a small bottle costs the same as a full meal in a local restaurant. In tourist centres, happy hours are widely publicised before and after sunset, with regular bottles of beer going for Rp20,000-25,000 and the large bottles for Rp35,000-40,000. Today, formally mini markets cannot sell alcohol drinks anymore, even beer, but by Governor discretion, 'warung' and small vendors still can serve/sell beer with note they should be in a group/cooperation. Bali produces its own wines, with '''[http://www.hattenwines.com/ Hatten]''' being the oldest and most popular brand, available in white, red, rose (most popular) and sparkling varieties. Quality is inconsistent, but the rose is usually OK and massively cheaper than imported wines, which can easily top Rp300,000 per bottle. Wine aficionados are better off bringing their own bottle in with them. Most restaurants will let you bring your own bottle and some will charge a modest corkage fee. Smaller establishments may not have a corkscrew, so bring your own. The new popular wine is snake fruit wine from [[Karangasem]] with sweet and sour taste. Bali also produces its own liqueurs and spirits, with '''Bali Moon''' being the most popular. They offer a wide range of flavoured liqueurs: banana, blackcurrant, butterscotch, coconut, hazelnut, lychee, melon, peppermint, orange, blue curacao, pineapple and coffee. Vodka and other spirits are also produced locally, with Mansion House being the most popular brand. Many of these local spirits are little more than flavoured rice spirit. Cocktails in Bali range from Rp30,000 in small bars to Rp100,000 in high end establishments. Bali Moon cocktails are available in almost every bar, restaurant and hotel in Bali. Liqueurs are available in many retail outlets; just enquire within if you wish to have fun making your own cocktails. Bali's traditional hooches are '''arak''', a clear distilled spirit that packs a 40° punch; '''brem''', a fermented rice wine sold in gift shops in attractive clay bottles that are much nicer than the taste of the stuff inside; and '''tuak''', a palm 'wine' which is often served at traditional festivities. Visitors should be ''extremely'' careful about where they purchase arak, as there have been a number of serious poisoning cases and even some deaths involving tainted arak. Tap water in Bali is generally not drinkable, and when it is it's hard to ascertain its quality. Bottled water is universally available and inexpensive (Rp5,000 or so for a 1.5 litre bottle); restaurants usually use commercially purified water for cooking. The most popular brand is '''Aqua''' and that name is often used generically for bottled water. Filtered water shops are also common, providing on-site treatment of the mains water to a potable standard. This is known as ''air putih'' (literally "white water"). These shops are much cheaper than retail outlets, selling water for about Rp5,000 per 11-litre reusable container, and they avoid the waste created by plastic bottles. '''Fresh fruit juices''' cost from Rp10,000 upwards and their mixes may include watermelon, melon, papaya, orange, lime, banana or almost any other fruit you can think of. In Bali, avocado (''alpukat'') is used as a dessert fruit. Blended with coconut milk or milk, a little water and ice&mdash;and frequently use palm sugar rather than chocolate syrup&mdash;this is a beverage you will rarely find elsewhere. Almost all restaurant menus have a section devoted to various non-alcoholic fruit-based drinks. ==Sleep== [[File:KomanekaBisma Valley2 Square.JPG|thumb|A high-end hotel in [[Ubud]], set in a terraced valley with infinity edge pool and rice paddies]] Bali has, without a doubt, the best range of accommodation in Indonesia, from US$10-per-night ''losmens'' to US$4,000-per-night super-homes. Backpackers tend to head for [[Kuta]], which has the cheapest (and dingiest) digs on the island, while many five-star resorts are clustered in [[Nusa Dua]], [[Jimbaran]], [[Seminyak]] and [[Ubud]]. [[Sanur]] and [[Jimbaran]] offer a fairly happy compromise if you want beaches and some quiet. [[Ubud]]'s hotels and resorts cater to those who prefer spas and cultural pursuits over surfing and booze. [[Legian]] is situated between [[Kuta]] and [[Seminyak]] and offers a good range of accommodation. The newest area to start offering a wide range of accommodation is [[Uluwatu]] which now boasts everything from surfer bungalows to the opulent Bulgari and other high end resorts. Further north on the west coast is the district of [[Canggu]]. It used to offer many traditional villages set among undulating rice fields but is now being developed very fast and looks more like [[Seminyak]]. For rest and revitalisation, visit [[Amed]], an area of peaceful fishing villages on the east coast with some good hotels and restaurants, or head for the sparsely populated areas of [[West Bali]]. In Bali Popies Lane I and II at Kuta are popular among backpackers, for one room with fan, one person is about Rp 70,000, while when the room is used by two persons is only Rp 100,000, both with fried rice or egg sandwich breakfast. Very cheap, but to the beach should walk about 300 meters or more. Usually no booking in advance, and also no contact person, because the owner and also as the server prioritise whom sleep there first for extension day(s). Come at 10:00 to see maybe some backpackers have left the losmen. Thanks to Bali's balmy climate, many hotels, bungalows and villas offer '''open-air bathrooms''', often set in a lush garden. They look amazing and are definitely a very Balinese experience, but they may also shelter little uninvited guests and are best avoided if you have a low tolerance for critters. Bali hotel prices may be given in '''three different currencies'''. Prices in U.S. dollars are most common, particularly away from the budget sector. Euros are sometimes used, particularly at hotels owned by European nationals. Lower-end places usually (but not always) price in Indonesian Rupiah. Some new local web hotels searches usually stated payment in Rupiah and also usually include tax and service payment, different with international web hotels searches which stated price exclude any tax and service. If you pay your bill by credit card, then the amount in the currency you agreed to when making the booking is converted to Indonesian Rupiah on the day you pay and your account is charged with that amount of Rupiah. This is because Indonesian banking law does not permit credit card transactions in any other currency. If you pay by cash, you can settle with the currency in which you were quoted the room rate. It is generally best to seek a rate in Indonesian Rupiah and resist efforts by the hotels and villa owners to quote in a foreign currency unless you are able to make payment in the currency and it is agreeable to you to do so. It is important to understand the tax and service charge that hotels are obliged to levy by Indonesian law. All high-end and mid-range (and a fair proportion of budget) hotels will levy a 21% tax and service charge on the room rate (the so-called "plus plus"). When you make a booking, you should always ask whether the rate quoted includes or excludes this. Simple budget homestays/losmen and informal accommodation are not obliged to levy these charges. The 21% consists of 11% sales tax which goes to the government and a 10% service charge which should go into a pool shared between the staff. Be careful when you book/search three-stars hotels or below, because sometimes the hotels have uncommon rules. Different price of one, two or three persons stay. For the three persons sometimes has two options with extra bed (compulsory or not) or without extra bed (extra person). For three persons and more you can share a family room with bunk beds in some hotels and the hotel will provide you a 5 gallon drinking water and its dispenser. With and without breakfast. With breakfast means you have to eat in its small breakfast room. But if you want to eat in your room, additional charge will be added. Some hotels which have no breakfast room, will deliver your breakfast to your room after you telephone the front office or maybe they give a packet breakfast meal in a box or on disposable tray with thin plastic cover. Some hotels will charge you cleaning service charge (at least $5) when your trash bucket is full with your own (rubbish) eat and drink are bought from outside the hotel, but it is not mentioned in the internet, but it is mentioned on the hotel guideline book in your room. Compulsory pickup charge from and to airport is also implemented by some hotels, the other hotels use big vehicle to pick up your group with more charge, but they mention price for small car. The newest trend is for some big local companies in Indonesia to build bed and breakfast hotels to keep continuous earnings. The hotels claim to be 3-star, but they have no pool or spa, and their room rates range from Rp350,000 to Rp450,000. They are spread through Kuta, Legian, Seminyak and Denpasar near the Bypass and aimed at domestic tourists, though foreign tourists are also welcome. One advantage is the hotels are always near the crowd, which Indonesians prefer, with minimarkets and cheap/modest food stalls around the hotels. The locations are 1-2 km from the beach. Like most of Southeast Asia, there are only a couple hotels in Bali that have family room, triple or quadruple room. The closest option would be to book two rooms with a connecting door, though it may be more expensive than one whole family suite. Most hotels count a kid over 2 years old as an adult, while others allow one child up to 10 years old accompanying the adults without extra bed for free. ===Private villas=== Bali has become famous for its large collection of '''private villas''' for rent, complete with staff and top-class levels of service. Low labour costs result in single villas boasting staff teams of up to 30 people at the really high end. A private villa rental can be a great option for a visit to Bali, but it pays to be aware of the potential pitfalls. Not every place sold as a villa actually fits the bill. Prices vary widely and some operators claim to go as low as US$30 per night, which usually means a standalone bungalow on hotel grounds with little actual privacy. Realistically, costs will be upwards of US$200 per night for anything with a decent location and a private pool. At the top of the range, nightly rents can easily exceed US$1,000. The general rule of '''you get what you pay for''' applies here. There are, of course, exceptions, but a 4 bedroom villa offered for US$400 and one for US$800 per night will be different in many ways: the standard of maintenance, the number of staff and their English ability, and the overall quality of furnishings and fittings in the property. Look carefully as to who is running the villa. Is it run by the owner, a local company, a western company or by local staff who answer to an absent overseas owner? And who you are renting through: directly from the owner, a management company, an established villa agent or one who just opened a month ago after his friend Nyoman told him how easy it was? Each path has its pros and cons. If it is an agency, see if there are press reviews. Ask how long the villa has been taking commercial guests, as villas normally take a year or so to get to best service levels. In the first six to 12 months of operation, great villas may offer introductory rates that are well below market value to gain awareness. In all circumstances thoroughly examine and query the security arrangements, especially if dealing with an apparently inexperienced or opportunistic operator to ensure you are not exposing yourself or your belongings to any unnecessary risks. Many private villas are found in the greater Seminyak area ([[Seminyak]], Umalas, [[Canggu]]), in the south around [[Jimbaran]] and [[Uluwatu]], in [[Sanur]] and around the hill town of [[Ubud]] as well as [[Lovina]] in north Bali. They are rare in heavily built-up areas like [[Kuta]], [[Legian]] and [[Denpasar]]. ===Long-term=== For an extended stay, it is worth considering a long-term rental, which can be as low as US$4,000 per year. Restaurants, shops and bars frequented by Bali's sizable expatriate community, particularly in [[Seminyak]], [[Sanur]] and [[Ubud]], are good places to find information about long-term rentals. Look for a bulletin board with property advertisements tacked up or pick up a copy of the local expat biweekly publication, ''The [http://www.baliadvertiser.biz/ Bali Advertiser]''. With a year-round tourism trade, villas that have everything right are usually available for more lucrative short-term rental only. Long-term rental houses tend to be older and not as well maintained. If you are willing to be flexible, though, you can find nice house options over a wide range of budgets. == Stay safe == [[File:Uluwatu BabyMonkey.JPG|thumb|Behind the cuddly façade lies a cunning thief]] Bali is, in general, a safe destination, and few visitors encounter any real problems. Bali was the scene of lethal '''terrorist bombings''' in 2002 and 2005, with both waves of attacks targeting nightclubs and restaurants popular among foreign visitors. Security is consequently tight at obvious targets, but it is of course impossible to protect oneself fully against terrorism. If it is any reassurance, the Balinese themselves&mdash;who depend on tourism for their livelihood&mdash;deplored the bombings and the terrorists behind them for the terrible suffering they have caused on this peaceful island. As a visitor, it is important to put the risk in perspective: Bali's roads are statistically far more dangerous than even the deadliest bomb. It may still be prudent to avoid high profile Western hangouts, especially those without security measures. The paranoid or just security-conscious may wish to head out of the tourist enclaves of South Bali to elsewhere on the island. Bali is increasingly enforcing Indonesia's harsh penalties against the import, export, trafficking and possession of '''illegal drugs''', including marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine and heroin. Several high profile arrests of foreigners have taken place in Bali since 2004, and a number have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms or (very rarely) execution. Even the possession of a small amount of drugs for personal use puts you at risk of a trial and prison sentence. Watch out for seemingly harmless street boys looking to sell you drugs (marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, etc.). More often than not, they are working with undercover police and will try to sell you drugs so that they can then get uniformed officers onto you. The police officers will (if you are lucky) demand a bribe for your release, or, more likely, look for a far larger payday by taking you into custody. Just avoid Bali's drug scene ''at all costs''. The unfortunate people who are caught and processed will find there is little distinction between personal use and dealing in the eyes of the Indonesian legal system. 'Expedition fees', monies paid to shorten prison sentences can easily be US$20,000 and are often a lot more. There is a fair chance that you will be offered '''magic mushrooms''', especially if you are young and find yourself in [[Kuta]]. Indonesian law is a little unclear in this area but with the whole country in the midst of a drug crackdown since 2004, it is not worth taking the risk. [[File:Bali Swimming Flag.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Don't swim near the red flag(s); swim between two yellow flags, if there are any]] If you see a '''red flag''' planted in the sand, do not swim there, as they are a warning of dangerous '''rip currents'''. These currents can pull you out to sea with alarming speed and even the strongest swimmers cannot swim ''against'' them. The thing to do is to stay calm and swim sideways (along the shore) until out of the rip and only then head for the shore. The ocean is not to be trifled with in Bali, and dozens of people, some experienced some not, die by drowning every year. === Scams === Even though Bali is quite a safe place in which few tourists encounter problems, avoid scams and overpriced services this island can offer you. Petty [[common scams|scams]] are not uncommon, although they can usually be avoided with a modicum of common sense. If approached on the street by anybody offering a deal on souvenirs, transport, etc., you can rest assured that you will pay ''more'' if you follow your new found friend. Guard your bags, especially at transport terminals and ferry terminals. In addition to the risk of them being stolen, self-appointed porters like to grab them without warning and then insist on ridiculous prices for their "services". '''Timeshare scams''' and schemes are common in Bali with several high profile, apparently legitimate operators. If you are approached by a very friendly street canvasser asking you to complete a survey and then attend a holiday resort presentation to claim your 'prize' (this is inevitably a 'free' holiday which you end up paying for anyway), politely refuse and walk away. You may also be cold-called at your hotel to be told you have 'won a holiday' - the caller may even know your name and nationality thanks to a tip-off from someone who has already seen your data. If you fall for this scam, you will be subjected to a very long, high pressure sales presentation and if you actually buy the 'holiday club' product, you will certainly regret it. Timeshare is a completely unregulated industry in Indonesia, and you have no recourse. When leaving Bali, if you have anything glass in your baggage (such as duty-free alcohol) the security guards may put some pressure on you to have it wrapped to keep it safe, and it can seem like its a requirement rather than a suggestion (it is Rp 60,000 a bag). Similarly, when arriving in Bali, some uniformed airport porters may offer to take your bags for you and walk you through customs, be generally friendly and helpful, and then demand a tip. The charge is Rp 5,000, a request for any amount in excess of this has no formal sanction, it is best to stop them from interfering with your bags in any way, just tell them you do not want their services unless you are sure you want to use them, if so clarify the price before they lift up your bags. These 'services' are best avoided. The money changing rule is simple: '''use only authorised money changers''' with proper offices and always ask for a receipt. The largest is called PT Central Kuta and they have several outlets. If you are especially nervous, then use a formal bank. You may get a better rate at an authorised money changer though. Avoid changing money in smaller currency exchange offices in shops, as they more often than not will try to steal money by using very creative and "magician" like methods. Even when you think you've watched the dealers every move, you're not unlikely to end up with far too low an amount in your hands, so just take a minute to recount your stack of notes at the spot. Often the rate advertised on the street is nowhere near the rate that they will give you in the end. Many times the rate is set higher to lure you in so that they can con you out of a banknote or two, and when this is not possible, they will give you a shoddy rate and state that the difference is due to commission. This even applies to the places which clearly state that there is no commission, of course any money changer charges a commission, they would cease to be viable if they did not and it is built into the differential between the purchase rate and the sell rate at any given time. For many, ''the'' largest irritant will be the hawkers and peddlers who linger around temples, malls, beaches, and anywhere tourists congregate. It may feel difficult or rude to ignore the constant come-ons to buy souvenirs, food and assorted junk, but it can be necessary in order to enjoy your holiday in semi-peace. Be wary around the '''monkeys''' that occupy many temples (most notably [[Uluwatu]] and [[Ubud]]'s Monkey Forest). They are experts at stealing possessions like glasses, cameras and even handbags, and have been known to attack people carrying food. Feeding them is just asking for trouble. Rabies is present in Bali and several deaths arising from rabies infections have been recorded in early 2011. Visitors to the island should avoid contact with dogs, cats, monkeys and other animals that carry the disease. If bitten seek medical attention. Whilst eating '''dog meat''' is not illegal in Bali, some vendors are breaching animal cruelty and food safety laws. Dogs are being bludgeoned, strangled or poisoned for human consumption. Dog meat is filtering into the tourist food chain in Bali, sometimes unsafely.<!-- http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-19/evidence-shows-dogs-in-bali-brutally-killed-meat-sold-tourists/8620128 --> === "Turtle Island" scam === A "Turtle ‘Island’" in Tanjung Benoa is one of Bali's most infamous scams. Bali does possess a ''legitimate'' Turtle Conservation and Education Center (TCEC) at Serangan Island, also known as "Turtle Island", which is sponsored by the government (to be exact, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry [Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan]). However, when requested to go to "Turtle Island", many drivers, guides, and tour agencies will instead lead tourists to an unlicensed "conservation center" called Moon Cot Sari there. It is more of a mini-zoo than a conservation centre, despite its name. What’s wrong with this place is that animals are kept in filthy, small habitat and subject to several forms of mistreatment. For instance, the snakes are kept there with their mouths taped, while the turtles (which ''really'' are solitary animals) were packed into several murky, small-for-turtle pens. Civets were kept in dirty cages which allows them to experience improper breeding and stimulation. Furthermore, tourists are subject to high-price services being offered on the departure spot leading there - that is, at BMR Watersport. There, you will be led into boats that take you to that place, which is actually not in an island - that is, it is accessible by land (not just water). These boat trips are generally expensive, and stop for a while at a very small coral reef situated offshore, where several boats also wait, before going to your final destination - the "turtle ‘island’". It is all part of a system - guides, drivers, and tour agencies gets a cut (commission) from the company when they bring tourists there. If you have any concern about animal welfare, make sure that you visit the licensed (and government-funded) TCEC at Serangan. Do not support any tour agencies, drivers, or guides, that attempt to lead tourists and locals to the fake "conservation center" at Tanjung Benoa. === Satria Agrowisata === Another scam in Bali involves a "coffee plantation" called Satria Agrowisata, which specialises on kopi luwak. In it, visitors are subject to luwaks that has been "drugged up" and exorbitant prices of their "tea"s and "coffee"s. Furthermore, while their "tea"s and "coffee"s are not really tea and coffee powder at all, but just useless sweet-tasting powder, with one review stating that it was just "kool-aid"; the ingredients are also not specified at all, with some claiming to be "sugar-free" but in fact it is sweet, so you will never know what are the actual contents of the product. If you want to sample coffees, make sure that you go to Seniman Coffee Studio at Ubud. Also, do not support any tour agents, guides, or drivers that bring you into Satria Agrowisata or similar kopi luwak-based scams. ==Stay healthy== The standards of '''healthcare and emergency facilities''' remain below what most visitors would be accustomed to in their home country. Whilst minor illness and injury can be adequately treated in the ubiquitous local clinics most overseas visitors would not be comfortable having serious problems dealt with in a local hospital, and insurance coverage for emergency medical evacuation is therefore a wise precaution. If a medical evacuation is required then patients are normally moved to [[Singapore]] or [[Perth]] in [[Australia]]. [[Jakarta]], Indonesia's capital, does however have at least 5 international accredited hospitals, if you are seeking luxury medical attention at a closer location. Sanglah Hospital in Denpasar, though less luxurious, has also been internationally accredited since 2014. Even if you have travel insurance, most clinics and hospitals may require payment in advance, or sometimes by incremental payment as various services are rendered. This may require access to a quite significant amount of cash to keep things moving. Any claim is then made to the insurance company upon your return home. This is almost always the case if the problem is one that can be dealt with on an outpatient basis. Make sure that your insurance company has an agreement with the provider or immediately establishes one, otherwise you will also be landed with a bill for an inpatient stay. Bali International Medical Centre (BIMC) has agreements with many insurance companies and is a well serviced hospital. This is however a relatively expensive option and even they ask for payment for outpatient treatments. The major travel insurance companies may be slow to respond with appropriate assistance and equally slow to refer a claimant to a suitable medical service. Delays may also be experienced if the insurer is slow or indecisive in authorising treatment. Difficulties may arise from an insurer not authorising a ''payment guarantee'' to the local medical services provider. Delays in rendering appropriate treatment are a common outcome. Try to gain a comprehensive understanding of the policy terms and limitations of your travel insurance cover well before departing your home country. Trying to gain an understanding of the limitations of cover during a crisis is not recommended. Some travel insurance companies and their ''emergency response'' centres may not live up to your own expectations of regional knowledge, appropriate case management and speedy response. Your best insurance is always common sense, some basic ''pre-departure'' research on your destination and the application of good situational awareness whilst travelling. Try to have your own plan in place to deal with any crisis you may encounter when travelling rather than relying solely upon a possibly inadequately skilled and under-qualified person sitting in a distant call centre who may have their own role complicated by problems with language, communication and access to the insurers decision makers. You may wish to consider carrying the names and contact numbers of one or two of the major local medical and evacuation providers in your wallet or purse so that you know how to quickly obtain medical assistance should an emergency arise. Always ensure that you contact your insurer '''as soon as possible''' should an emergency arise otherwise you may find they are later unwilling to accept liability for payment for any expenses that arise. Always keep a thorough record of all expenditures and communications with your insurer and obtain full and detailed invoices and receipts for all services provided and any incidental costs. If you do not understand the detail of anything that you are billed for, ask for an explanation; if information is not forthcoming withhold payment or authorisation until such time as an acceptable explanation is given. International [https://web.archive.org/web/20100504214904/http://www.internationalsos.com/en/asia-pacific.htm SOS Indonesia] (AEA ''SOS'' Medika) was founded in Indonesia in 1984 and has grown into an international organisation handling a round 9 million cases per year. It has a professionally staffed and operated clinic in Bali. They offer clinic services, hospital referral and emergency medical evacuation services. They have agreements or associations in place with many of the major travel insurers and are a principal medical service supplier in the Southeast Asian region, including Indonesia. The midday sun in Bali will fry the unwary traveller to a crisp, so slap on plenty of high-factor sun protection and drink lots of fluids. However there is no need to carry litres of water as you can buy a bottle virtually anywhere. The locals tend to stay away from the beaches until about two hours before sunset, when most of the ferocity has gone out of the sun. Travelling to Bali may expose you to some risks in contracting one of many [[tropical diseases]] that are present in the region. Bali is officially a '''[[malaria]]-free''' zone but '''[[dengue fever]]''' is a problem and all sensible precautions should be taken against being bitten by [[mosquitoes]]. Take care in restaurants and bars; although it is very rare nowadays, some may use untreated/unsafe tap water to make ice for drinks otherwise made with clean ingredients. Tap water in hotels should not be used for drinking or brushing teeth unless explicitly labelled as safe. Drink ''adulteration'' or contamination with methyl alcohol (methanol) and drink ''spiking'' in bars and clubs are not uncommon in Bali. Sensible precautions should be taken when buying and consuming beverages. During 2009/2010 a number of Indonesians and visiting tourists in Java, Bali and Lombok/Gili Islands were poisoned by consuming drinks containing methyl alcohol resulting in fatalities. Methyl alcohol or methanol (wood alcohol) and other contaminants are highly dangerous and have been found in some locally produced alcoholic drinks including locally made Arak. The initial symptoms of methyl alcohol/methanol intoxication include central nervous system depression, headache, visual distortion, dizziness, nausea, lack of coordination and confusion. If methyl alcohol poisoning is suspected seek medical assistance immediately. The HIV infection rate in Bali is increasing, mainly among sex workers of both genders and intravenous drug users. If you engage in any risky activity, always protect yourself. Finally, be careful around monkeys. They may be habituated to humans, but they are wild animals, and being bitten or scratched by a monkey could result in your contracting any number of maladies, possibly including rabies. So you are best off keeping your distance, especially if a monkey seems to be behaving erratically. If you are bitten or scratched by a monkey or bat, get medical help immediately, as rabies, if not treated before symptoms occur, is almost 100% fatal. ==Connect== Unfortunately, it is very unlikely you will find a working public telephone on the street, which can be very frustrating in emergency situations. Depending on your circumstances, you may have to rely on mobile phones (local SIM cards may be used in unlocked phones with economical local and international calling rates) or phone/internet shops. Budget accommodation options are unlikely to offer telephone services to guests. Private rental phone booths (frequently together with internet rental) are available almost everywhere in Bali, mostly in Kuta and Legian, but the number is decreasing, because of cheap mobile phone prices which can easily be obtained for under Rp 300,000. Around Kuta and Legian, there are Biznet WiFi spots up to 100 Mbps which can be used easily from your devices. The voucher can be bought in Alfamart: Rp 10,000 for 500MB/10 days or Rp 30,000 for 2GB/30 days, and can be used in up to 2 devices. It is worth investing in a SIM card for your own mobile phone, if only to use rideshare services like Grab and translate menus and signs with Google Translate. SIM cards are widely available at roadside stalls and phone service shops. Recent law changes means foreigners need to their passport to buy a SIM card; it will be photographed and registered in a database, but the vendor will fold a page over so your signature is not captured. A card alone should be just a few thousand; the smallest data package available to foreigners seems to be 6 GB for Rp 100,000. International Direct Dialing prefix: 001, 007, or 008. (the three digits prefix means using non-internet phone, which the tariff is more expensive than the internet phone and sometimes up to 8x.) * {{listing | name=International phone operators | alt= |

It serves as headquarters for international oil companies, mining companies and related support industries operating in (and out of) eastern Kalimantan. It is a relatively clean city, with clear blue skies, but not much by way of nightlife. The population is a mix, with lots of Javanese due to transmigration, lots of people from Sulawesi, and of course, the locals. The people are quiet and polite, and the pace is slow and relaxed. ==Understand== The city is the financial centre of Kalimantan and one of three gateways to the new capital of Indonesia that is being built. Balikpapan began as a fishing village built by Buginese people in the 19th century. The first oil drilling began in Balikpapan in 1897. Many multi-national companies came to Balikpapan to invest in the oil industry. This resulted in the economic boom of Balikpapan and attracted many migrants and expatriates. Balikpapan oil refinery is on the shore of Balikpapan Bay and covers an area of {{km2|2.5}}. ===Climate=== Balikpapan has a tropical rainforest climate as there is no real dry season in Balikpapan. The city sees an average of 2,400 mm (94 in) of rain per year. Balikpapan generally shows little variation in weather throughout the course of the year. The city does not have significantly wetter and drier periods of the year and average temperatures are nearly identical throughout the course of the year, averaging about 26 to 27 °C throughout the year. ==Get in== Most people arrive by air. ===By plane=== * {{listing | type=go | name=Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman International Airport | alt={{IATA|BPN}} formerly Sepinggan Airport | url=http://www.sepingganairport.com | email= | address= | lat=-1.268333 | long=116.894444 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Airport | wikidata=Q263652 | content=It has frequent flights from [[Jakarta]], and commercial services from [[Surabaya]], [[Banjarmasin]], [[Tarakan]], [[Palu]], [[Makassar]], [[Yogyakarta]], [[Semarang]], [[Denpasar]], and numerous smaller airports in [[Kalimantan]]. The airport is on the coast of the city, around 8 km away from the city centre. Airport taxis operate from the terminal; there is a fixed fare depending on the destination (starting from Rp 70,000, as of March 2016). You may be offered an unofficial fare outside the main exit if you walk to the left past the official taxi ranks; while some of these drivers may offer a slightly cheaper fare, many will quote an inflated price when they see a foreigner, so make sure you've asked the official fare to your destination in the taxi booth if you intend to bargain with them. }} * {{listing | name=Susi Air | alt= | url=http://www.susiair.com | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+62 811 211 3080 | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit= | content=Service from local destinations across Kalimantan. }} Despite the numerous signs which you'll see after leaving the baggage claim area, as of March 2016 there's no airport bus service to Balikpapan; the buses mentioned on these signs are going to [[Samarinda]]. ===By car=== Balikpapan can be reached from Samarinda, [[Bontang]] and Banjarmasin by land through 2 bus terminals.

Banská Bystrica is the capital of Banská Bystrica region (''kraj'') and the department (''okres'') of the same name. It has approximately 78,000 inhabitants. ==Get in== ===By plane=== Banská Bystrica is serviced by {{listing|type=go|url=http://airportsliac.eu/?lang=en|name=Sliač Airport|alt={{IATA|SLD}}|lat=48.6407312|long=19.1410809 }} The airport is 15 km from Banská Bystrica, however, there are no regular passenger flights, only charters. The closest international airports are Budapest (200 km), Bratislava (205 km) and Vienna (260 km). If you are flying from Vienna, work out the connections well. A mid-afternoon flight from Vienna (at about 15:00) probably involves leaving Banská Bystrica on the 06:27 train or a bus between 07:00 and 08:00. It is also possible to take the 08:27 train to Bratislava and reach Vienna airport for a mid-afternoon flight, but this leaves little time buffer. Transport to Budapest is relatively complicated with no direct bus or train. As of summer 2015, it was not possible to make it with less than 2 transfers (significantly bypassing the shortest route). ===By train=== There are train connections from the major Slovak cities. Banská Bystrica can also be reached from Vienna, Budapest, Poland and the Czech Republic (direct train). The city is not served well in the evening. Plan your connections from Bratislava carefully, as there are no trains between 18:01 and 23:49 (the midnight train arrives at 05:19, with the train stopping in Zvolen at 02:57, with a long wait -- to 04:47 -- for a local train to Banská Bystrica). Many of the trains from Bratislava have Wi-Fi.

Buses from Bratislava cost around €9.50 (RegioJet buses cost €5). As of mid-2015, the last bus leaves Bratislava for Banská Bystrica at 20:35, so be careful about connections if booking flights to Bratislava airport or to Vienna airport. ===By car=== Banská Bystrica has road connections from all major Slovak cities. It can be reached from Bratislava (210 km) via highway R1. Banská Bystrica also has road connections from: Ruzomberok (52 km) road 59/E77, Martin (59 km) road 65, Zvolen (19 km) road R1/E77.

It consists of buses and trolleybuses and a single trip costs €0.70 (as of mid-2015). Regional buses from the main bus station (or adjacent "Parkovisko Mičinská" stop) service surrounding villages for a slightly higher price. For more information and current schedules visit this page [http://imhd.zoznam.sk/bb/public-transport.html]. ===Taxi=== Due to increased competition (triggered by complete absence of public transport over night), prices of taxi in Banská Bystrica have plummeted to flat rate of around €3-4 per trip anywhere inside the city (trips outside the city are charged per km). With the official city area being quite large, it makes taxi really convenient transport option. ==See== [[File:Banská Bystrica NamSNP 9235.JPG|thumb|Fountain at the Main Square]] [[File:Banská Bystrica SNP Monument.JPG|thumb|Museum of Slovak National Uprising]] [[File:Banska Bystrica Urpin.jpg|thumb|Urpín and 1552 Clock Tower]] Banská Bystrica has a beautiful position between the mountains.

In the countryside and mountains there are many paved or gravel roads used for forestry in the past but now used mainly for trekking and cycling. Treks for cycling are not marked very well but the situation is improving as cycling is becoming very popular sport among locals. For more information visit [http://www.cyklobb.sk/ cyklobb.sk] There are very useful information about cycling treks including length, profile, directions, photos, eating opportunities.

Banská Bystrica is the capital of Banská Bystrica region (''kraj'') and the department (''okres'') of the same name. It has approximately 78,000 inhabitants. ==Get in== ===By plane=== Banská Bystrica is serviced by {{listing|type=go|url=http://airportsliac.eu/?lang=en|name=Sliač Airport|alt={{IATA|SLD}}|lat=48.6407312|long=19.1410809 }} The airport is 15 km from Banská Bystrica, however, there are no regular passenger flights, only charters. The closest international airports are Budapest (200 km), Bratislava (205 km) and Vienna (260 km). If you are flying from Vienna, work out the connections well. A mid-afternoon flight from Vienna (at about 15:00) probably involves leaving Banská Bystrica on the 06:27 train or a bus between 07:00 and 08:00. It is also possible to take the 08:27 train to Bratislava and reach Vienna airport for a mid-afternoon flight, but this leaves little time buffer. Transport to Budapest is relatively complicated with no direct bus or train. As of summer 2015, it was not possible to make it with less than 2 transfers (significantly bypassing the shortest route). ===By train=== There are train connections from the major Slovak cities. Banská Bystrica can also be reached from Vienna, Budapest, Poland and the Czech Republic (direct train). The city is not served well in the evening. Plan your connections from Bratislava carefully, as there are no trains between 18:01 and 23:49 (the midnight train arrives at 05:19, with the train stopping in Zvolen at 02:57, with a long wait -- to 04:47 -- for a local train to Banská Bystrica).

It consists of buses and trolleybuses and a single trip costs €0.70 (as of mid-2015). Regional buses from the main bus station (or adjacent "Parkovisko Mičinská" stop) service surrounding villages for a slightly higher price. For more information and current schedules visit this page [http://imhd.zoznam.sk/bb/public-transport.html]. ===Taxi=== Due to increased competition (triggered by complete absence of public transport over night), prices of taxi in Banská Bystrica have plummeted to flat rate of around €3-4 per trip anywhere inside the city (trips outside the city are charged per km). With the official city area being quite large, it makes taxi really convenient transport option. ==See== [[File:Banská Bystrica NamSNP 9235.JPG|thumb|Fountain at the Main Square]] [[File:Banská Bystrica SNP Monument.JPG|thumb|Museum of Slovak National Uprising]] [[File:Banska Bystrica Urpin.jpg|thumb|Urpín and 1552 Clock Tower]] Banská Bystrica has a beautiful position between the mountains.

In the countryside and mountains there are many paved or gravel roads used for forestry in the past but now used mainly for trekking and cycling. Treks for cycling are not marked very well but the situation is improving as cycling is becoming very popular sport among locals.

Banská Bystrica is the capital of Banská Bystrica region (''kraj'') and the department (''okres'') of the same name. It has approximately 78,000 inhabitants. ==Get in== ===By plane=== Banská Bystrica is serviced by {{listing|type=go|url=http://airportsliac.eu/?lang=en|name=Sliač Airport|alt={{IATA|SLD}}|lat=48.6407312|long=19.1410809 }} The airport is 15 km from Banská Bystrica, however, there are no regular passenger flights, only charters. The closest international airports are Budapest (200 km), Bratislava (205 km) and Vienna (260 km). If you are flying from Vienna, work out the connections well. A mid-afternoon flight from Vienna (at about 15:00) probably involves leaving Banská Bystrica on the 06:27 train or a bus between 07:00 and 08:00. It is also possible to take the 08:27 train to Bratislava and reach Vienna airport for a mid-afternoon flight, but this leaves little time buffer. Transport to Budapest is relatively complicated with no direct bus or train. As of summer 2015, it was not possible to make it with less than 2 transfers (significantly bypassing the shortest route). ===By train=== There are train connections from the major Slovak cities. Banská Bystrica can also be reached from Vienna, Budapest, Poland and the Czech Republic (direct train). The city is not served well in the evening. Plan your connections from Bratislava carefully, as there are no trains between 18:01 and 23:49 (the midnight train arrives at 05:19, with the train stopping in Zvolen at 02:57, with a long wait -- to 04:47 -- for a local train to Banská Bystrica). Many of the trains from Bratislava have Wi-Fi.

Buses from Bratislava cost around €9.50 (RegioJet buses cost €5). As of mid-2015, the last bus leaves Bratislava for Banská Bystrica at 20:35, so be careful about connections if booking flights to Bratislava airport or to Vienna airport. ===By car=== Banská Bystrica has road connections from all major Slovak cities. It can be reached from Bratislava (210 km) via highway R1. Banská Bystrica also has road connections from: Ruzomberok (52 km) road 59/E77, Martin (59 km) road 65, Zvolen (19 km) road R1/E77. From Zvolen it is possible to continue further south by E77 to Sahy (70 km - Hungarian border) and Budapest (160 km). ==Get around== {{Mapframe|48.7341|19.1490|zoom=14}} Banská Bystrica is a walkable city and all the main sights can be reached by foot in 15 minutes. ===Public transport=== Public transport is useful if staying outside the city center or for trips around the city. It consists of buses and trolleybuses and a single trip costs €0.70 (as of mid-2015). Regional buses from the main bus station (or adjacent "Parkovisko Mičinská" stop) service surrounding villages for a slightly higher price. For more information and current schedules visit this page [http://imhd.zoznam.sk/bb/public-transport.html]. ===Taxi=== Due to increased competition (triggered by complete absence of public transport over night), prices of taxi in Banská Bystrica have plummeted to flat rate of around €3-4 per trip anywhere inside the city (trips outside the city are charged per km). With the official city area being quite large, it makes taxi really convenient transport option. ==See== [[File:Banská Bystrica NamSNP 9235.JPG|thumb|Fountain at the Main Square]] [[File:Banská Bystrica SNP Monument.JPG|thumb|Museum of Slovak National Uprising]] [[File:Banska Bystrica Urpin.jpg|thumb|Urpín and 1552 Clock Tower]] Banská Bystrica has a beautiful position between the mountains.

You can do many cycling trips according to your preferences. Villages around the town are connected by asphalt roads. In the countryside and mountains there are many paved or gravel roads used for forestry in the past but now used mainly for trekking and cycling. Treks for cycling are not marked very well but the situation is improving as cycling is becoming very popular sport among locals. For more information visit [http://www.cyklobb.sk/ cyklobb.sk] There are very useful information about cycling treks including length, profile, directions, photos, eating opportunities. Unfortunately, page is available only in Slovak language but it is very intuitive and you can use google translator.

Banská Bystrica is the capital of Banská Bystrica region (''kraj'') and the department (''okres'') of the same name. It has approximately 78,000 inhabitants. ==Get in== ===By plane=== Banská Bystrica is serviced by {{listing|type=go|url=http://airportsliac.eu/?lang=en|name=Sliač Airport|alt={{IATA|SLD}}|lat=48.6407312|long=19.1410809 }} The airport is 15 km from Banská Bystrica, however, there are no regular passenger flights, only charters. The closest international airports are Budapest (200 km), Bratislava (205 km) and Vienna (260 km). If you are flying from Vienna, work out the connections well. A mid-afternoon flight from Vienna (at about 15:00) probably involves leaving Banská Bystrica on the 06:27 train or a bus between 07:00 and 08:00. It is also possible to take the 08:27 train to Bratislava and reach Vienna airport for a mid-afternoon flight, but this leaves little time buffer. Transport to Budapest is relatively complicated with no direct bus or train. As of summer 2015, it was not possible to make it with less than 2 transfers (significantly bypassing the shortest route). ===By train=== There are train connections from the major Slovak cities. Banská Bystrica can also be reached from Vienna, Budapest, Poland and the Czech Republic (direct train). The city is not served well in the evening. Plan your connections from Bratislava carefully, as there are no trains between 18:01 and 23:49 (the midnight train arrives at 05:19, with the train stopping in Zvolen at 02:57, with a long wait -- to 04:47 -- for a local train to Banská Bystrica). Many of the trains from Bratislava have Wi-Fi.

Buses from Bratislava cost around €9.50 (RegioJet buses cost €5). As of mid-2015, the last bus leaves Bratislava for Banská Bystrica at 20:35, so be careful about connections if booking flights to Bratislava airport or to Vienna airport. ===By car=== Banská Bystrica has road connections from all major Slovak cities. It can be reached from Bratislava (210 km) via highway R1. Banská Bystrica also has road connections from: Ruzomberok (52 km) road 59/E77, Martin (59 km) road 65, Zvolen (19 km) road R1/E77. From Zvolen it is possible to continue further south by E77 to Sahy (70 km - Hungarian border) and Budapest (160 km). ==Get around== {{Mapframe|48.7341|19.1490|zoom=14}} Banská Bystrica is a walkable city and all the main sights can be reached by foot in 15 minutes. ===Public transport=== Public transport is useful if staying outside the city center or for trips around the city. It consists of buses and trolleybuses and a single trip costs €0.70 (as of mid-2015). Regional buses from the main bus station (or adjacent "Parkovisko Mičinská" stop) service surrounding villages for a slightly higher price. For more information and current schedules visit this page [http://imhd.zoznam.sk/bb/public-transport.html]. ===Taxi=== Due to increased competition (triggered by complete absence of public transport over night), prices of taxi in Banská Bystrica have plummeted to flat rate of around €3-4 per trip anywhere inside the city (trips outside the city are charged per km). With the official city area being quite large, it makes taxi really convenient transport option. ==See== [[File:Banská Bystrica NamSNP 9235.JPG|thumb|Fountain at the Main Square]] [[File:Banská Bystrica SNP Monument.JPG|thumb|Museum of Slovak National Uprising]] [[File:Banska Bystrica Urpin.jpg|thumb|Urpín and 1552 Clock Tower]] Banská Bystrica has a beautiful position between the mountains.

You can do many cycling trips according to your preferences. Villages around the town are connected by asphalt roads. In the countryside and mountains there are many paved or gravel roads used for forestry in the past but now used mainly for trekking and cycling. Treks for cycling are not marked very well but the situation is improving as cycling is becoming very popular sport among locals. For more information visit [http://www.cyklobb.sk/ cyklobb.sk] There are very useful information about cycling treks including length, profile, directions, photos, eating opportunities. Unfortunately, page is available only in Slovak language but it is very intuitive and you can use google translator.

Located on the east bank of the mighty [[Mississippi River]], Baton Rouge is Louisiana's second largest city, home of Louisiana State University, major port facilities, and a variety of attractions. ==Understand == The name of Baton Rouge was given on 17 March 1699, Pierre Le Moyne, Sieur d'Iberville, led an expedition along the Mississippi River. The early French explorers found a pole stained with blood of fish and animals that served as the dividing line between the Bayougoula and Houmas Indians. It is from this "red stick" that Iberville called the city ''le Baton Rouge'', French for "red stick". The city was founded in 1721. [[File:Louisiana State Capitol Building.jpg|thumb|right|State Capitol Building]] The small town here was selected as the new capital of state of Louisiana in 1817, and it's been growing since. The capital was returned to [[New Orleans]] for a while during and after the troubles of the American Civil War, but it's been back here since 1882. === Climate === Baton Rouge has a semi-tropical climate, perfect for outdoor activities. The weather is consistently warm from May to September. Be warned that, like the rest of the Southern United States during the summer, it can become down-right miserable, with sustained temperatures in the 90s (°F) with 100% humidity. Proper medical precautions should be taken if you plan on partaking in outdoor activities, such as ample amounts of sunscreen and hydration. Also, there are many days throughout July that are classified as "ozone days" due to severe ground-level ozone, which can damage the health of sensitive individuals. Winter is usually mild and short-lived. Spring is glorious with cool nights and warm, sunny days. A light jacket is all that is needed. Fall is mild and only a light sweater is needed in the evenings. Precipitation is reasonably well-distributed and ample throughout the year with an average annual precipitation of 55 in (140 cm) *Average summer temperature: 81.3°F (27°C) *Average winter temperature: 52.5°F (11°C) *Average annual temperature: 67.5°F (20°C) Baton Rouge, like many cities in the Gulf States, has what is known as 5 seasons. The 5th season is hurricane season, the time of year between June 1 and November 30 when hurricanes are most likely to form. == Get in == ===By plane=== * {{listing | type=go | name=Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport | alt={{IATA|BTR}} | url=http://www.flybtr.com/ | email= | address= | lat=30.532778 | long=-91.15 | directions=in north Baton Rouge, near Southern University | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport | wikidata=Q810875 | lastedit=2019-02-28 | content=American Airlines, United Airlines, and Delta Air Lines offer non-stop service to their respective hubs in the Southern United States. }} * {{listing | type=go | name=Louisiana Regional Airport | alt= | url=http://www.laregionalairport.com/ | email= | address= | lat=30.173889 | long=-90.938889 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q35276115 | lastedit=2019-02-28 | content=A [[general aviation]] airport in the nearby suburb of Gonzales. }} ===By train=== [[File:LSU Old Law Building.jpg|thumb|275px|LSU Old Law Building]] While there is no [http://www.amtrak.com '''Amtrak'''] train service to Baton Rouge, connecting bus service can be booked with the [https://www.amtrak.com/routes/sunset-limited-train.html ''Sunset Limited''] between [[New Orleans]] and [[Los Angeles]] as well as with [https://www.amtrak.com/routes/city-of-new-orleans-train.html ''City of New Orleans''], which runs to and from [[Chicago]]. ===By car=== From [[New Orleans]], Baton Rouge is an 80-mi (129-km) northwest drive on I-10, which drives into the heart of downtown.

While Berkeley Springs is its more commonly used name, but the town is incorporated as '''Bath'''. It is a vibrant artistic community, full of quaint inns and historical connections to George Washington, but it is most famous for its '''mineral springs''', which are used both for drinking water and [[Hot_springs|rejuvenating warm baths]]. Understandably, the spa (and pampering) business is big in the area. ==Get in== ===By car=== Berkeley Springs is located on '''US-522''', between [[Lewistown (Pennsylvania)|Lewistown]], [[Pennsylvania]] and [[Hancock (Maryland)|Hancock]], [[Maryland]] in the north, and [[Winchester (Virginia)|Winchester]], [[Virginia]] in the south. To the north is '''I-68''', which goes to [[Cumberland (Maryland)|Cumberland]], Maryland, and [[Morgantown]], West Virginia. Also to the north is '''I-70''', which goes to [[Somerset (Pennsylvania)|Somerset]], Pennsylvania, and [[Hagerstown]], Maryland. East of Berkeley Springs is '''I-81''', which goes to [[Harrisburg]], Pennsylvania, and [[Roanoke]], Virginia. ===By bus=== [http://www.greyhound.com Greyhound Lines] serves a [https://locations.greyhound.com/bus-stations/us/maryland/hancock/bus-station-190190 bus station] in nearby [[Hancock]], Maryland.

It is strongly influenced by [[Spanish phrasebook|Spanish]]. Belonging to the Austronesian family of languages, it is closely related to all the other languages in the Philippines like the larger [[Ilocano phrasebook|Ilocano]], [[Filipino phrasebook|Tagalog]] and [[Cebuano phrasebook|Cebuano]] and more distantly to the various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], the main language of the [[Malaysia]], is also closely related to Bikol, and while the two languages are not mutually intelligible, you will notice many cognates. There are also numerous false friends between Bikol and Malay, such as Malay ''pagi'' (morning) vs Bikol ''pagi'' (sting ray) and Bikol ''ayam'' (dog) vs Malay ''ayam'' (chicken). ==Pronunciation guide== ===Accent marks=== Diacritics (''tandang panduon'') are normally not written in everyday usage, be it in publications or personal correspondence. The teaching of diacritics is inconsistent in Philippine schools and many ''Bicolanos'' do not know how to use them. However, diacritics are normally used in dictionaries and in textbooks aimed at teaching the language to foreigners. ''There'' ''are'' ''three'' ''kinds'' ''of'' ''diacritics'' ''used'' ''in Bicol'': ;Acute accent or pahilíg Used to indicate primary or secondary stress on a particular syllable; ''marháy''. It is usually omitted on words that are stressed on the penultimate (second to the last) syllable; ''babáyi'' = ''babayi''. It is possible that there is more than one stressed syllable in a word, meaning that that pahilíg mark may appear multiple times, as in Repúbliká. If there is no diacritic on the last two syllables of a word, then it means that there is stress on the penultimate syllable. ;Grave accent or paiwà It indicates that there is a glottal stop (/ʔ/) at the end of the word. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. This mark does not indicate stress. Therefore, following the previously stated rule on stress, ''sampulò'' is stressed on the second to the last syllable. ;Circumflex accent or pakupyâ It indicates that the final syllable of a word receives stress while there is a glottal stop that follows; ''udô''. This is because it is a combination of the pahilíg and paiwà marks. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. ===Stress=== Although Bikol is pronounced as it is spelled, stress is very unpredictable and stressing the wrong syllable can lead to misinterpretation; for that reason, almost every book and dictionary concerning the Bikol language will put an accent mark (´) on the stressed syllable. ===Vowels=== ''In Bicol, two consecutive vowels are pronounced separately.'' Unaccented Bikol vowels ; a : near-open central unrounded vowel IPA [ɐ]; like the '''''u''''' in c'''''u'''''t ; e : open-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [ɛ]; like the '''''e''''' in b'''''e'''''d ; i : near-close front unrounded vowel IPA [ɪ]; like the '''''i''''' in s'''''i'''''t ; o : close-mid back rounded vowel IPA [o]; like the '''''au''''' in '''''au'''''thor ; u : near-close back rounded vowel IPA [ʊ]; like the '''''oo''''' in f'''''oo'''''t Accented Bikol vowels ; a :open central unrounded vowel IPA [a]; like the '''''a''''' in f'''''a'''''r ; e :close-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [e]; like the '''''a''''' in h'''''a'''''nd ;i :close front unrounded vowel IPA [i]; like the '''''ee''''' in s'''''ee''''' ; o :open-mid back rounded vowel IPA [ɔ]; like the '''''o''''' in '''''o'''''ff ; u :close back rounded vowel IPA [u]; like the '''''oo''''' in s'''''oo'''''n ===Consonants=== ;b :as in '''''b'''''ee ;k :as in '''''k'''''ey ;d :as in '''''d'''''ough ;g :as in '''''g'''''old ;h :as in '''''h'''''eat ;l :as in '''''l'''''et ;m :as in '''''m'''''e ;n :as in '''''n'''''ice ;ng :as in so'''''ng''''' ;p :as in '''''p'''''ea ;r :as in '''''r'''''aw ;s :as in '''''s'''''ea ;t :as in '''''t'''''ea ;w :as in '''''w'''''eak ;y :as in '''''y'''''ou ''Some consonants are borrowed from Spanish and English and are used in writing names of places and personal names''. ; c : like '''''c''''' in s'''''c'''''are (before '''''a''''', '''''o''''', '''''u''''') :like '''''c''''' in pen'''''c'''''il (before '''''e''''' or '''''i''''') ; f : like '''''f''''' in '''''f'''''ine ; j :like '''''h''''' in '''''h'''''am ;ll :although not a letter in the Philippines but of Spanish influence, pronounced as '''''ly''''' ; ñ : like '''''ny''''' in ca'''''ny'''''on ; q : like '''''q''''' in '''''q'''''uest (always with a silent '''''u''''') ; v : pronounced the same way as '''''b''''' (see above) like '''''b''''' in el'''''b'''''ow. ; x : like '''''x''''' in fle'''''x'''''ible :like '''''ss''''' in hi'''''ss''''' (at beginning of a word) :like '''''h''''' as in '''''h'''''e in the family name ''Roxas'' ; z : like '''''s''''' in '''''s'''''upper ===Digraphs === ''Some digraphs appear in Spanish loan words.'' ;'''dy''' :as in '''''j'''''ust ;'''ts''' :as in '''''ch'''''ew ;'''sy''' :as in '''''sh'''''oe ;'''ny''' :as in ca'''''ny'''''on ;ly :as in mi'''''lli'''''on ===Common diphthongs=== ''In the spelling of many places and personal names, '''''ao''''' is used and is pronounced as in h'''''ow''''' just like the Spanish way of spelling''. ;aw :as in h'''''ow''''' ;iw :as in k'''''iw'''''i ;ay :as in h'''''igh''''' ;oy :as in b'''''oy''''' ==Grammar== ===Personal pronouns=== '''Inclusivity''' Note that Bicol has two words which are equivalent to the English word ''we''. If you intend to include the person or people you are talking to, the word to use is <u>kitá</u>. If the subject does not include your listener(s), then the correct word would be <u>kamí</u>. ===Negation=== ''Use'' <u>dài</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>no</u> ''and'' <u>bakô</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>not</u>. "Dàing gayón" ''means'' <u>no beauty</u> ''and'' <u>bakóng magayón</u> ''means'' <u>not beautiful</u>. ''Some'' ''adjectives'' ''connot'' ''be'' ''combined'' ''with'' <u>dài</u>. ''Never'' ''say'' <u>dàing lumóy</u>, ''instead'' ''say'', <u>bakóng malumóy</u>. ===Singular and plural verbs=== '''Note''' To form the plural verbs in Bicol, the syllables "ra","ri", "ro", and/or "ru", were added at the middle of the root word depending on the first syllable it follows. ;The child is playing. :Nagkakáwat an akì. ;The children are playing. :Nagkakaráwat an mga akì. ;The man is sitting. :Nagtutúkaw an lalaki. ;The men are sitting. :Nagtuturúkaw an mga lalaki. ;The dog is barking. :Nagbabatók an áyam/idò. ;The dogs are barking. :Nagbabaratók an mga áyam/idò. ;He/She bought an ice cream. :Nagbakál siya nin ice cream.

(Bikol - Legazpi) ;He is praying. :Nagpapangadyî siya. ;They are praying. :Nagpapangaradyî sinda. ;The book was borrowed. :Sinublî si libro. (Bikol - Naga) :Sinublî su libro.

(Bikol - Legazpi) ;S/he will come with me tomorrow. :Maibá siya sakuyà sa-aga. ;They will come with me tomorrow. :Mairibá sindá sakuyà sa-aga. ;He bathed in the sea. :Nagkarigos siya sa dagat. ;They bathed in the sea. :Nagkararigos sinda sa dagat. ===Singular and plural adjectives=== '''Note''': In Bicol plural adjectives are made by adding the syllables "ra", "ri", "ro", and "ru" after the first syllable. However, there is an exception. The plural of "magayón", is "magagayon" and "mabuot" is "mabubuot". ;A small stone. :Saróng sadít na gapô. (Bikol - Naga) :Saróng sadáy na gapô.

It is strongly influenced by [[Spanish phrasebook|Spanish]]. Belonging to the Austronesian family of languages, it is closely related to all the other languages in the Philippines like the larger [[Ilocano phrasebook|Ilocano]], [[Filipino phrasebook|Tagalog]] and [[Cebuano phrasebook|Cebuano]] and more distantly to the various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], the main language of the [[Malaysia]], is also closely related to Bikol, and while the two languages are not mutually intelligible, you will notice many cognates. There are also numerous false friends between Bikol and Malay, such as Malay ''pagi'' (morning) vs Bikol ''pagi'' (sting ray) and Bikol ''ayam'' (dog) vs Malay ''ayam'' (chicken). ==Pronunciation guide== ===Accent marks=== Diacritics (''tandang panduon'') are normally not written in everyday usage, be it in publications or personal correspondence. The teaching of diacritics is inconsistent in Philippine schools and many ''Bicolanos'' do not know how to use them. However, diacritics are normally used in dictionaries and in textbooks aimed at teaching the language to foreigners. ''There'' ''are'' ''three'' ''kinds'' ''of'' ''diacritics'' ''used'' ''in Bicol'': ;Acute accent or pahilíg Used to indicate primary or secondary stress on a particular syllable; ''marháy''. It is usually omitted on words that are stressed on the penultimate (second to the last) syllable; ''babáyi'' = ''babayi''. It is possible that there is more than one stressed syllable in a word, meaning that that pahilíg mark may appear multiple times, as in Repúbliká. If there is no diacritic on the last two syllables of a word, then it means that there is stress on the penultimate syllable. ;Grave accent or paiwà It indicates that there is a glottal stop (/ʔ/) at the end of the word. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. This mark does not indicate stress. Therefore, following the previously stated rule on stress, ''sampulò'' is stressed on the second to the last syllable. ;Circumflex accent or pakupyâ It indicates that the final syllable of a word receives stress while there is a glottal stop that follows; ''udô''. This is because it is a combination of the pahilíg and paiwà marks. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. ===Stress=== Although Bikol is pronounced as it is spelled, stress is very unpredictable and stressing the wrong syllable can lead to misinterpretation; for that reason, almost every book and dictionary concerning the Bikol language will put an accent mark (´) on the stressed syllable. ===Vowels=== ''In Bicol, two consecutive vowels are pronounced separately.'' Unaccented Bikol vowels ; a : near-open central unrounded vowel IPA [ɐ]; like the '''''u''''' in c'''''u'''''t ; e : open-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [ɛ]; like the '''''e''''' in b'''''e'''''d ; i : near-close front unrounded vowel IPA [ɪ]; like the '''''i''''' in s'''''i'''''t ; o : close-mid back rounded vowel IPA [o]; like the '''''au''''' in '''''au'''''thor ; u : near-close back rounded vowel IPA [ʊ]; like the '''''oo''''' in f'''''oo'''''t Accented Bikol vowels ; a :open central unrounded vowel IPA [a]; like the '''''a''''' in f'''''a'''''r ; e :close-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [e]; like the '''''a''''' in h'''''a'''''nd ;i :close front unrounded vowel IPA [i]; like the '''''ee''''' in s'''''ee''''' ; o :open-mid back rounded vowel IPA [ɔ]; like the '''''o''''' in '''''o'''''ff ; u :close back rounded vowel IPA [u]; like the '''''oo''''' in s'''''oo'''''n ===Consonants=== ;b :as in '''''b'''''ee ;k :as in '''''k'''''ey ;d :as in '''''d'''''ough ;g :as in '''''g'''''old ;h :as in '''''h'''''eat ;l :as in '''''l'''''et ;m :as in '''''m'''''e ;n :as in '''''n'''''ice ;ng :as in so'''''ng''''' ;p :as in '''''p'''''ea ;r :as in '''''r'''''aw ;s :as in '''''s'''''ea ;t :as in '''''t'''''ea ;w :as in '''''w'''''eak ;y :as in '''''y'''''ou ''Some consonants are borrowed from Spanish and English and are used in writing names of places and personal names''. ; c : like '''''c''''' in s'''''c'''''are (before '''''a''''', '''''o''''', '''''u''''') :like '''''c''''' in pen'''''c'''''il (before '''''e''''' or '''''i''''') ; f : like '''''f''''' in '''''f'''''ine ; j :like '''''h''''' in '''''h'''''am ;ll :although not a letter in the Philippines but of Spanish influence, pronounced as '''''ly''''' ; ñ : like '''''ny''''' in ca'''''ny'''''on ; q : like '''''q''''' in '''''q'''''uest (always with a silent '''''u''''') ; v : pronounced the same way as '''''b''''' (see above) like '''''b''''' in el'''''b'''''ow. ; x : like '''''x''''' in fle'''''x'''''ible :like '''''ss''''' in hi'''''ss''''' (at beginning of a word) :like '''''h''''' as in '''''h'''''e in the family name ''Roxas'' ; z : like '''''s''''' in '''''s'''''upper ===Digraphs === ''Some digraphs appear in Spanish loan words.'' ;'''dy''' :as in '''''j'''''ust ;'''ts''' :as in '''''ch'''''ew ;'''sy''' :as in '''''sh'''''oe ;'''ny''' :as in ca'''''ny'''''on ;ly :as in mi'''''lli'''''on ===Common diphthongs=== ''In the spelling of many places and personal names, '''''ao''''' is used and is pronounced as in h'''''ow''''' just like the Spanish way of spelling''. ;aw :as in h'''''ow''''' ;iw :as in k'''''iw'''''i ;ay :as in h'''''igh''''' ;oy :as in b'''''oy''''' ==Grammar== ===Personal pronouns=== '''Inclusivity''' Note that Bicol has two words which are equivalent to the English word ''we''. If you intend to include the person or people you are talking to, the word to use is <u>kitá</u>. If the subject does not include your listener(s), then the correct word would be <u>kamí</u>. ===Negation=== ''Use'' <u>dài</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>no</u> ''and'' <u>bakô</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>not</u>. "Dàing gayón" ''means'' <u>no beauty</u> ''and'' <u>bakóng magayón</u> ''means'' <u>not beautiful</u>. ''Some'' ''adjectives'' ''connot'' ''be'' ''combined'' ''with'' <u>dài</u>. ''Never'' ''say'' <u>dàing lumóy</u>, ''instead'' ''say'', <u>bakóng malumóy</u>. ===Singular and plural verbs=== '''Note''' To form the plural verbs in Bicol, the syllables "ra","ri", "ro", and/or "ru", were added at the middle of the root word depending on the first syllable it follows. ;The child is playing. :Nagkakáwat an akì. ;The children are playing. :Nagkakaráwat an mga akì. ;The man is sitting. :Nagtutúkaw an lalaki. ;The men are sitting. :Nagtuturúkaw an mga lalaki. ;The dog is barking. :Nagbabatók an áyam/idò. ;The dogs are barking. :Nagbabaratók an mga áyam/idò. ;He/She bought an ice cream. :Nagbakál siya nin ice cream.

However, there is an exception. The plural of "magayón", is "magagayon" and "mabuot" is "mabubuot". ;A small stone. :Saróng sadít na gapô. (Bikol - Naga) :Saróng sadáy na gapô.

It is strongly influenced by [[Spanish phrasebook|Spanish]]. Belonging to the Austronesian family of languages, it is closely related to all the other languages in the Philippines like the larger [[Ilocano phrasebook|Ilocano]], [[Filipino phrasebook|Tagalog]] and [[Cebuano phrasebook|Cebuano]] and more distantly to the various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], the main language of the [[Malaysia]], is also closely related to Bikol, and while the two languages are not mutually intelligible, you will notice many cognates. There are also numerous false friends between Bikol and Malay, such as Malay ''pagi'' (morning) vs Bikol ''pagi'' (sting ray) and Bikol ''ayam'' (dog) vs Malay ''ayam'' (chicken). ==Pronunciation guide== ===Accent marks=== Diacritics (''tandang panduon'') are normally not written in everyday usage, be it in publications or personal correspondence. The teaching of diacritics is inconsistent in Philippine schools and many ''Bicolanos'' do not know how to use them. However, diacritics are normally used in dictionaries and in textbooks aimed at teaching the language to foreigners. ''There'' ''are'' ''three'' ''kinds'' ''of'' ''diacritics'' ''used'' ''in Bicol'': ;Acute accent or pahilíg Used to indicate primary or secondary stress on a particular syllable; ''marháy''. It is usually omitted on words that are stressed on the penultimate (second to the last) syllable; ''babáyi'' = ''babayi''. It is possible that there is more than one stressed syllable in a word, meaning that that pahilíg mark may appear multiple times, as in Repúbliká. If there is no diacritic on the last two syllables of a word, then it means that there is stress on the penultimate syllable. ;Grave accent or paiwà It indicates that there is a glottal stop (/ʔ/) at the end of the word. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. This mark does not indicate stress. Therefore, following the previously stated rule on stress, ''sampulò'' is stressed on the second to the last syllable. ;Circumflex accent or pakupyâ It indicates that the final syllable of a word receives stress while there is a glottal stop that follows; ''udô''. This is because it is a combination of the pahilíg and paiwà marks. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. ===Stress=== Although Bikol is pronounced as it is spelled, stress is very unpredictable and stressing the wrong syllable can lead to misinterpretation; for that reason, almost every book and dictionary concerning the Bikol language will put an accent mark (´) on the stressed syllable. ===Vowels=== ''In Bicol, two consecutive vowels are pronounced separately.'' Unaccented Bikol vowels ; a : near-open central unrounded vowel IPA [ɐ]; like the '''''u''''' in c'''''u'''''t ; e : open-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [ɛ]; like the '''''e''''' in b'''''e'''''d ; i : near-close front unrounded vowel IPA [ɪ]; like the '''''i''''' in s'''''i'''''t ; o : close-mid back rounded vowel IPA [o]; like the '''''au''''' in '''''au'''''thor ; u : near-close back rounded vowel IPA [ʊ]; like the '''''oo''''' in f'''''oo'''''t Accented Bikol vowels ; a :open central unrounded vowel IPA [a]; like the '''''a''''' in f'''''a'''''r ; e :close-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [e]; like the '''''a''''' in h'''''a'''''nd ;i :close front unrounded vowel IPA [i]; like the '''''ee''''' in s'''''ee''''' ; o :open-mid back rounded vowel IPA [ɔ]; like the '''''o''''' in '''''o'''''ff ; u :close back rounded vowel IPA [u]; like the '''''oo''''' in s'''''oo'''''n ===Consonants=== ;b :as in '''''b'''''ee ;k :as in '''''k'''''ey ;d :as in '''''d'''''ough ;g :as in '''''g'''''old ;h :as in '''''h'''''eat ;l :as in '''''l'''''et ;m :as in '''''m'''''e ;n :as in '''''n'''''ice ;ng :as in so'''''ng''''' ;p :as in '''''p'''''ea ;r :as in '''''r'''''aw ;s :as in '''''s'''''ea ;t :as in '''''t'''''ea ;w :as in '''''w'''''eak ;y :as in '''''y'''''ou ''Some consonants are borrowed from Spanish and English and are used in writing names of places and personal names''. ; c : like '''''c''''' in s'''''c'''''are (before '''''a''''', '''''o''''', '''''u''''') :like '''''c''''' in pen'''''c'''''il (before '''''e''''' or '''''i''''') ; f : like '''''f''''' in '''''f'''''ine ; j :like '''''h''''' in '''''h'''''am ;ll :although not a letter in the Philippines but of Spanish influence, pronounced as '''''ly''''' ; ñ : like '''''ny''''' in ca'''''ny'''''on ; q : like '''''q''''' in '''''q'''''uest (always with a silent '''''u''''') ; v : pronounced the same way as '''''b''''' (see above) like '''''b''''' in el'''''b'''''ow. ; x : like '''''x''''' in fle'''''x'''''ible :like '''''ss''''' in hi'''''ss''''' (at beginning of a word) :like '''''h''''' as in '''''h'''''e in the family name ''Roxas'' ; z : like '''''s''''' in '''''s'''''upper ===Digraphs === ''Some digraphs appear in Spanish loan words.'' ;'''dy''' :as in '''''j'''''ust ;'''ts''' :as in '''''ch'''''ew ;'''sy''' :as in '''''sh'''''oe ;'''ny''' :as in ca'''''ny'''''on ;ly :as in mi'''''lli'''''on ===Common diphthongs=== ''In the spelling of many places and personal names, '''''ao''''' is used and is pronounced as in h'''''ow''''' just like the Spanish way of spelling''. ;aw :as in h'''''ow''''' ;iw :as in k'''''iw'''''i ;ay :as in h'''''igh''''' ;oy :as in b'''''oy''''' ==Grammar== ===Personal pronouns=== '''Inclusivity''' Note that Bicol has two words which are equivalent to the English word ''we''. If you intend to include the person or people you are talking to, the word to use is <u>kitá</u>. If the subject does not include your listener(s), then the correct word would be <u>kamí</u>. ===Negation=== ''Use'' <u>dài</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>no</u> ''and'' <u>bakô</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>not</u>. "Dàing gayón" ''means'' <u>no beauty</u> ''and'' <u>bakóng magayón</u> ''means'' <u>not beautiful</u>. ''Some'' ''adjectives'' ''connot'' ''be'' ''combined'' ''with'' <u>dài</u>. ''Never'' ''say'' <u>dàing lumóy</u>, ''instead'' ''say'', <u>bakóng malumóy</u>. ===Singular and plural verbs=== '''Note''' To form the plural verbs in Bicol, the syllables "ra","ri", "ro", and/or "ru", were added at the middle of the root word depending on the first syllable it follows. ;The child is playing. :Nagkakáwat an akì. ;The children are playing. :Nagkakaráwat an mga akì. ;The man is sitting. :Nagtutúkaw an lalaki. ;The men are sitting. :Nagtuturúkaw an mga lalaki. ;The dog is barking. :Nagbabatók an áyam/idò. ;The dogs are barking. :Nagbabaratók an mga áyam/idò. ;He/She bought an ice cream. :Nagbakál siya nin ice cream.

However, there is an exception. The plural of "magayón", is "magagayon" and "mabuot" is "mabubuot". ;A small stone. :Saróng sadít na gapô. (Bikol - Naga) :Saróng sadáy na gapô.

It is strongly influenced by [[Spanish phrasebook|Spanish]]. Belonging to the Austronesian family of languages, it is closely related to all the other languages in the Philippines like the larger [[Ilocano phrasebook|Ilocano]], [[Filipino phrasebook|Tagalog]] and [[Cebuano phrasebook|Cebuano]] and more distantly to the various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], the main language of the [[Malaysia]], is also closely related to Bikol, and while the two languages are not mutually intelligible, you will notice many cognates. There are also numerous false friends between Bikol and Malay, such as Malay ''pagi'' (morning) vs Bikol ''pagi'' (sting ray) and Bikol ''ayam'' (dog) vs Malay ''ayam'' (chicken). ==Pronunciation guide== ===Accent marks=== Diacritics (''tandang panduon'') are normally not written in everyday usage, be it in publications or personal correspondence. The teaching of diacritics is inconsistent in Philippine schools and many ''Bicolanos'' do not know how to use them. However, diacritics are normally used in dictionaries and in textbooks aimed at teaching the language to foreigners. ''There'' ''are'' ''three'' ''kinds'' ''of'' ''diacritics'' ''used'' ''in Bicol'': ;Acute accent or pahilíg Used to indicate primary or secondary stress on a particular syllable; ''marháy''. It is usually omitted on words that are stressed on the penultimate (second to the last) syllable; ''babáyi'' = ''babayi''. It is possible that there is more than one stressed syllable in a word, meaning that that pahilíg mark may appear multiple times, as in Repúbliká. If there is no diacritic on the last two syllables of a word, then it means that there is stress on the penultimate syllable. ;Grave accent or paiwà It indicates that there is a glottal stop (/ʔ/) at the end of the word. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. This mark does not indicate stress. Therefore, following the previously stated rule on stress, ''sampulò'' is stressed on the second to the last syllable. ;Circumflex accent or pakupyâ It indicates that the final syllable of a word receives stress while there is a glottal stop that follows; ''udô''. This is because it is a combination of the pahilíg and paiwà marks. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. ===Stress=== Although Bikol is pronounced as it is spelled, stress is very unpredictable and stressing the wrong syllable can lead to misinterpretation; for that reason, almost every book and dictionary concerning the Bikol language will put an accent mark (´) on the stressed syllable. ===Vowels=== ''In Bicol, two consecutive vowels are pronounced separately.'' Unaccented Bikol vowels ; a : near-open central unrounded vowel IPA [ɐ]; like the '''''u''''' in c'''''u'''''t ; e : open-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [ɛ]; like the '''''e''''' in b'''''e'''''d ; i : near-close front unrounded vowel IPA [ɪ]; like the '''''i''''' in s'''''i'''''t ; o : close-mid back rounded vowel IPA [o]; like the '''''au''''' in '''''au'''''thor ; u : near-close back rounded vowel IPA [ʊ]; like the '''''oo''''' in f'''''oo'''''t Accented Bikol vowels ; a :open central unrounded vowel IPA [a]; like the '''''a''''' in f'''''a'''''r ; e :close-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [e]; like the '''''a''''' in h'''''a'''''nd ;i :close front unrounded vowel IPA [i]; like the '''''ee''''' in s'''''ee''''' ; o :open-mid back rounded vowel IPA [ɔ]; like the '''''o''''' in '''''o'''''ff ; u :close back rounded vowel IPA [u]; like the '''''oo''''' in s'''''oo'''''n ===Consonants=== ;b :as in '''''b'''''ee ;k :as in '''''k'''''ey ;d :as in '''''d'''''ough ;g :as in '''''g'''''old ;h :as in '''''h'''''eat ;l :as in '''''l'''''et ;m :as in '''''m'''''e ;n :as in '''''n'''''ice ;ng :as in so'''''ng''''' ;p :as in '''''p'''''ea ;r :as in '''''r'''''aw ;s :as in '''''s'''''ea ;t :as in '''''t'''''ea ;w :as in '''''w'''''eak ;y :as in '''''y'''''ou ''Some consonants are borrowed from Spanish and English and are used in writing names of places and personal names''. ; c : like '''''c''''' in s'''''c'''''are (before '''''a''''', '''''o''''', '''''u''''') :like '''''c''''' in pen'''''c'''''il (before '''''e''''' or '''''i''''') ; f : like '''''f''''' in '''''f'''''ine ; j :like '''''h''''' in '''''h'''''am ;ll :although not a letter in the Philippines but of Spanish influence, pronounced as '''''ly''''' ; ñ : like '''''ny''''' in ca'''''ny'''''on ; q : like '''''q''''' in '''''q'''''uest (always with a silent '''''u''''') ; v : pronounced the same way as '''''b''''' (see above) like '''''b''''' in el'''''b'''''ow. ; x : like '''''x''''' in fle'''''x'''''ible :like '''''ss''''' in hi'''''ss''''' (at beginning of a word) :like '''''h''''' as in '''''h'''''e in the family name ''Roxas'' ; z : like '''''s''''' in '''''s'''''upper ===Digraphs === ''Some digraphs appear in Spanish loan words.'' ;'''dy''' :as in '''''j'''''ust ;'''ts''' :as in '''''ch'''''ew ;'''sy''' :as in '''''sh'''''oe ;'''ny''' :as in ca'''''ny'''''on ;ly :as in mi'''''lli'''''on ===Common diphthongs=== ''In the spelling of many places and personal names, '''''ao''''' is used and is pronounced as in h'''''ow''''' just like the Spanish way of spelling''. ;aw :as in h'''''ow''''' ;iw :as in k'''''iw'''''i ;ay :as in h'''''igh''''' ;oy :as in b'''''oy''''' ==Grammar== ===Personal pronouns=== '''Inclusivity''' Note that Bicol has two words which are equivalent to the English word ''we''. If you intend to include the person or people you are talking to, the word to use is <u>kitá</u>. If the subject does not include your listener(s), then the correct word would be <u>kamí</u>. ===Negation=== ''Use'' <u>dài</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>no</u> ''and'' <u>bakô</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>not</u>.

''Never'' ''say'' <u>dàing lumóy</u>, ''instead'' ''say'', <u>bakóng malumóy</u>. ===Singular and plural verbs=== '''Note''' To form the plural verbs in Bicol, the syllables "ra","ri", "ro", and/or "ru", were added at the middle of the root word depending on the first syllable it follows. ;The child is playing. :Nagkakáwat an akì. ;The children are playing. :Nagkakaráwat an mga akì. ;The man is sitting. :Nagtutúkaw an lalaki. ;The men are sitting. :Nagtuturúkaw an mga lalaki. ;The dog is barking. :Nagbabatók an áyam/idò. ;The dogs are barking. :Nagbabaratók an mga áyam/idò. ;He/She bought an ice cream. :Nagbakál siya nin ice cream.

It is strongly influenced by [[Spanish phrasebook|Spanish]]. Belonging to the Austronesian family of languages, it is closely related to all the other languages in the Philippines like the larger [[Ilocano phrasebook|Ilocano]], [[Filipino phrasebook|Tagalog]] and [[Cebuano phrasebook|Cebuano]] and more distantly to the various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], the main language of the [[Malaysia]], is also closely related to Bikol, and while the two languages are not mutually intelligible, you will notice many cognates. There are also numerous false friends between Bikol and Malay, such as Malay ''pagi'' (morning) vs Bikol ''pagi'' (sting ray) and Bikol ''ayam'' (dog) vs Malay ''ayam'' (chicken). ==Pronunciation guide== ===Accent marks=== Diacritics (''tandang panduon'') are normally not written in everyday usage, be it in publications or personal correspondence. The teaching of diacritics is inconsistent in Philippine schools and many ''Bicolanos'' do not know how to use them. However, diacritics are normally used in dictionaries and in textbooks aimed at teaching the language to foreigners. ''There'' ''are'' ''three'' ''kinds'' ''of'' ''diacritics'' ''used'' ''in Bicol'': ;Acute accent or pahilíg Used to indicate primary or secondary stress on a particular syllable; ''marháy''. It is usually omitted on words that are stressed on the penultimate (second to the last) syllable; ''babáyi'' = ''babayi''. It is possible that there is more than one stressed syllable in a word, meaning that that pahilíg mark may appear multiple times, as in Repúbliká. If there is no diacritic on the last two syllables of a word, then it means that there is stress on the penultimate syllable. ;Grave accent or paiwà It indicates that there is a glottal stop (/ʔ/) at the end of the word. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. This mark does not indicate stress. Therefore, following the previously stated rule on stress, ''sampulò'' is stressed on the second to the last syllable. ;Circumflex accent or pakupyâ It indicates that the final syllable of a word receives stress while there is a glottal stop that follows; ''udô''. This is because it is a combination of the pahilíg and paiwà marks. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. ===Stress=== Although Bikol is pronounced as it is spelled, stress is very unpredictable and stressing the wrong syllable can lead to misinterpretation; for that reason, almost every book and dictionary concerning the Bikol language will put an accent mark (´) on the stressed syllable. ===Vowels=== ''In Bicol, two consecutive vowels are pronounced separately.'' Unaccented Bikol vowels ; a : near-open central unrounded vowel IPA [ɐ]; like the '''''u''''' in c'''''u'''''t ; e : open-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [ɛ]; like the '''''e''''' in b'''''e'''''d ; i : near-close front unrounded vowel IPA [ɪ]; like the '''''i''''' in s'''''i'''''t ; o : close-mid back rounded vowel IPA [o]; like the '''''au''''' in '''''au'''''thor ; u : near-close back rounded vowel IPA [ʊ]; like the '''''oo''''' in f'''''oo'''''t Accented Bikol vowels ; a :open central unrounded vowel IPA [a]; like the '''''a''''' in f'''''a'''''r ; e :close-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [e]; like the '''''a''''' in h'''''a'''''nd ;i :close front unrounded vowel IPA [i]; like the '''''ee''''' in s'''''ee''''' ; o :open-mid back rounded vowel IPA [ɔ]; like the '''''o''''' in '''''o'''''ff ; u :close back rounded vowel IPA [u]; like the '''''oo''''' in s'''''oo'''''n ===Consonants=== ;b :as in '''''b'''''ee ;k :as in '''''k'''''ey ;d :as in '''''d'''''ough ;g :as in '''''g'''''old ;h :as in '''''h'''''eat ;l :as in '''''l'''''et ;m :as in '''''m'''''e ;n :as in '''''n'''''ice ;ng :as in so'''''ng''''' ;p :as in '''''p'''''ea ;r :as in '''''r'''''aw ;s :as in '''''s'''''ea ;t :as in '''''t'''''ea ;w :as in '''''w'''''eak ;y :as in '''''y'''''ou ''Some consonants are borrowed from Spanish and English and are used in writing names of places and personal names''. ; c : like '''''c''''' in s'''''c'''''are (before '''''a''''', '''''o''''', '''''u''''') :like '''''c''''' in pen'''''c'''''il (before '''''e''''' or '''''i''''') ; f : like '''''f''''' in '''''f'''''ine ; j :like '''''h''''' in '''''h'''''am ;ll :although not a letter in the Philippines but of Spanish influence, pronounced as '''''ly''''' ; ñ : like '''''ny''''' in ca'''''ny'''''on ; q : like '''''q''''' in '''''q'''''uest (always with a silent '''''u''''') ; v : pronounced the same way as '''''b''''' (see above) like '''''b''''' in el'''''b'''''ow. ; x : like '''''x''''' in fle'''''x'''''ible :like '''''ss''''' in hi'''''ss''''' (at beginning of a word) :like '''''h''''' as in '''''h'''''e in the family name ''Roxas'' ; z : like '''''s''''' in '''''s'''''upper ===Digraphs === ''Some digraphs appear in Spanish loan words.'' ;'''dy''' :as in '''''j'''''ust ;'''ts''' :as in '''''ch'''''ew ;'''sy''' :as in '''''sh'''''oe ;'''ny''' :as in ca'''''ny'''''on ;ly :as in mi'''''lli'''''on ===Common diphthongs=== ''In the spelling of many places and personal names, '''''ao''''' is used and is pronounced as in h'''''ow''''' just like the Spanish way of spelling''. ;aw :as in h'''''ow''''' ;iw :as in k'''''iw'''''i ;ay :as in h'''''igh''''' ;oy :as in b'''''oy''''' ==Grammar== ===Personal pronouns=== '''Inclusivity''' Note that Bicol has two words which are equivalent to the English word ''we''. If you intend to include the person or people you are talking to, the word to use is <u>kitá</u>. If the subject does not include your listener(s), then the correct word would be <u>kamí</u>. ===Negation=== ''Use'' <u>dài</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>no</u> ''and'' <u>bakô</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>not</u>. "Dàing gayón" ''means'' <u>no beauty</u> ''and'' <u>bakóng magayón</u> ''means'' <u>not beautiful</u>. ''Some'' ''adjectives'' ''connot'' ''be'' ''combined'' ''with'' <u>dài</u>. ''Never'' ''say'' <u>dàing lumóy</u>, ''instead'' ''say'', <u>bakóng malumóy</u>. ===Singular and plural verbs=== '''Note''' To form the plural verbs in Bicol, the syllables "ra","ri", "ro", and/or "ru", were added at the middle of the root word depending on the first syllable it follows. ;The child is playing. :Nagkakáwat an akì. ;The children are playing. :Nagkakaráwat an mga akì. ;The man is sitting. :Nagtutúkaw an lalaki. ;The men are sitting. :Nagtuturúkaw an mga lalaki. ;The dog is barking. :Nagbabatók an áyam/idò. ;The dogs are barking. :Nagbabaratók an mga áyam/idò. ;He/She bought an ice cream. :Nagbakál siya nin ice cream.

However, there is an exception. The plural of "magayón", is "magagayon" and "mabuot" is "mabubuot". ;A small stone. :Saróng sadít na gapô. (Bikol - Naga) :Saróng sadáy na gapô.

It is strongly influenced by [[Spanish phrasebook|Spanish]]. Belonging to the Austronesian family of languages, it is closely related to all the other languages in the Philippines like the larger [[Ilocano phrasebook|Ilocano]], [[Filipino phrasebook|Tagalog]] and [[Cebuano phrasebook|Cebuano]] and more distantly to the various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], the main language of the [[Malaysia]], is also closely related to Bikol, and while the two languages are not mutually intelligible, you will notice many cognates. There are also numerous false friends between Bikol and Malay, such as Malay ''pagi'' (morning) vs Bikol ''pagi'' (sting ray) and Bikol ''ayam'' (dog) vs Malay ''ayam'' (chicken). ==Pronunciation guide== ===Accent marks=== Diacritics (''tandang panduon'') are normally not written in everyday usage, be it in publications or personal correspondence. The teaching of diacritics is inconsistent in Philippine schools and many ''Bicolanos'' do not know how to use them. However, diacritics are normally used in dictionaries and in textbooks aimed at teaching the language to foreigners. ''There'' ''are'' ''three'' ''kinds'' ''of'' ''diacritics'' ''used'' ''in Bicol'': ;Acute accent or pahilíg Used to indicate primary or secondary stress on a particular syllable; ''marháy''. It is usually omitted on words that are stressed on the penultimate (second to the last) syllable; ''babáyi'' = ''babayi''. It is possible that there is more than one stressed syllable in a word, meaning that that pahilíg mark may appear multiple times, as in Repúbliká. If there is no diacritic on the last two syllables of a word, then it means that there is stress on the penultimate syllable. ;Grave accent or paiwà It indicates that there is a glottal stop (/ʔ/) at the end of the word. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. This mark does not indicate stress. Therefore, following the previously stated rule on stress, ''sampulò'' is stressed on the second to the last syllable. ;Circumflex accent or pakupyâ It indicates that the final syllable of a word receives stress while there is a glottal stop that follows; ''udô''. This is because it is a combination of the pahilíg and paiwà marks. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. ===Stress=== Although Bikol is pronounced as it is spelled, stress is very unpredictable and stressing the wrong syllable can lead to misinterpretation; for that reason, almost every book and dictionary concerning the Bikol language will put an accent mark (´) on the stressed syllable. ===Vowels=== ''In Bicol, two consecutive vowels are pronounced separately.'' Unaccented Bikol vowels ; a : near-open central unrounded vowel IPA [ɐ]; like the '''''u''''' in c'''''u'''''t ; e : open-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [ɛ]; like the '''''e''''' in b'''''e'''''d ; i : near-close front unrounded vowel IPA [ɪ]; like the '''''i''''' in s'''''i'''''t ; o : close-mid back rounded vowel IPA [o]; like the '''''au''''' in '''''au'''''thor ; u : near-close back rounded vowel IPA [ʊ]; like the '''''oo''''' in f'''''oo'''''t Accented Bikol vowels ; a :open central unrounded vowel IPA [a]; like the '''''a''''' in f'''''a'''''r ; e :close-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [e]; like the '''''a''''' in h'''''a'''''nd ;i :close front unrounded vowel IPA [i]; like the '''''ee''''' in s'''''ee''''' ; o :open-mid back rounded vowel IPA [ɔ]; like the '''''o''''' in '''''o'''''ff ; u :close back rounded vowel IPA [u]; like the '''''oo''''' in s'''''oo'''''n ===Consonants=== ;b :as in '''''b'''''ee ;k :as in '''''k'''''ey ;d :as in '''''d'''''ough ;g :as in '''''g'''''old ;h :as in '''''h'''''eat ;l :as in '''''l'''''et ;m :as in '''''m'''''e ;n :as in '''''n'''''ice ;ng :as in so'''''ng''''' ;p :as in '''''p'''''ea ;r :as in '''''r'''''aw ;s :as in '''''s'''''ea ;t :as in '''''t'''''ea ;w :as in '''''w'''''eak ;y :as in '''''y'''''ou ''Some consonants are borrowed from Spanish and English and are used in writing names of places and personal names''. ; c : like '''''c''''' in s'''''c'''''are (before '''''a''''', '''''o''''', '''''u''''') :like '''''c''''' in pen'''''c'''''il (before '''''e''''' or '''''i''''') ; f : like '''''f''''' in '''''f'''''ine ; j :like '''''h''''' in '''''h'''''am ;ll :although not a letter in the Philippines but of Spanish influence, pronounced as '''''ly''''' ; ñ : like '''''ny''''' in ca'''''ny'''''on ; q : like '''''q''''' in '''''q'''''uest (always with a silent '''''u''''') ; v : pronounced the same way as '''''b''''' (see above) like '''''b''''' in el'''''b'''''ow. ; x : like '''''x''''' in fle'''''x'''''ible :like '''''ss''''' in hi'''''ss''''' (at beginning of a word) :like '''''h''''' as in '''''h'''''e in the family name ''Roxas'' ; z : like '''''s''''' in '''''s'''''upper ===Digraphs === ''Some digraphs appear in Spanish loan words.'' ;'''dy''' :as in '''''j'''''ust ;'''ts''' :as in '''''ch'''''ew ;'''sy''' :as in '''''sh'''''oe ;'''ny''' :as in ca'''''ny'''''on ;ly :as in mi'''''lli'''''on ===Common diphthongs=== ''In the spelling of many places and personal names, '''''ao''''' is used and is pronounced as in h'''''ow''''' just like the Spanish way of spelling''. ;aw :as in h'''''ow''''' ;iw :as in k'''''iw'''''i ;ay :as in h'''''igh''''' ;oy :as in b'''''oy''''' ==Grammar== ===Personal pronouns=== '''Inclusivity''' Note that Bicol has two words which are equivalent to the English word ''we''. If you intend to include the person or people you are talking to, the word to use is <u>kitá</u>. If the subject does not include your listener(s), then the correct word would be <u>kamí</u>. ===Negation=== ''Use'' <u>dài</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>no</u> ''and'' <u>bakô</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>not</u>. "Dàing gayón" ''means'' <u>no beauty</u> ''and'' <u>bakóng magayón</u> ''means'' <u>not beautiful</u>. ''Some'' ''adjectives'' ''connot'' ''be'' ''combined'' ''with'' <u>dài</u>. ''Never'' ''say'' <u>dàing lumóy</u>, ''instead'' ''say'', <u>bakóng malumóy</u>. ===Singular and plural verbs=== '''Note''' To form the plural verbs in Bicol, the syllables "ra","ri", "ro", and/or "ru", were added at the middle of the root word depending on the first syllable it follows. ;The child is playing. :Nagkakáwat an akì. ;The children are playing. :Nagkakaráwat an mga akì. ;The man is sitting. :Nagtutúkaw an lalaki. ;The men are sitting. :Nagtuturúkaw an mga lalaki. ;The dog is barking. :Nagbabatók an áyam/idò. ;The dogs are barking. :Nagbabaratók an mga áyam/idò. ;He/She bought an ice cream. :Nagbakál siya nin ice cream.

However, there is an exception. The plural of "magayón", is "magagayon" and "mabuot" is "mabubuot". ;A small stone. :Saróng sadít na gapô. (Bikol - Naga) :Saróng sadáy na gapô.

It is strongly influenced by [[Spanish phrasebook|Spanish]]. Belonging to the Austronesian family of languages, it is closely related to all the other languages in the Philippines like the larger [[Ilocano phrasebook|Ilocano]], [[Filipino phrasebook|Tagalog]] and [[Cebuano phrasebook|Cebuano]] and more distantly to the various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], the main language of the [[Malaysia]], is also closely related to Bikol, and while the two languages are not mutually intelligible, you will notice many cognates. There are also numerous false friends between Bikol and Malay, such as Malay ''pagi'' (morning) vs Bikol ''pagi'' (sting ray) and Bikol ''ayam'' (dog) vs Malay ''ayam'' (chicken). ==Pronunciation guide== ===Accent marks=== Diacritics (''tandang panduon'') are normally not written in everyday usage, be it in publications or personal correspondence. The teaching of diacritics is inconsistent in Philippine schools and many ''Bicolanos'' do not know how to use them. However, diacritics are normally used in dictionaries and in textbooks aimed at teaching the language to foreigners. ''There'' ''are'' ''three'' ''kinds'' ''of'' ''diacritics'' ''used'' ''in Bicol'': ;Acute accent or pahilíg Used to indicate primary or secondary stress on a particular syllable; ''marháy''. It is usually omitted on words that are stressed on the penultimate (second to the last) syllable; ''babáyi'' = ''babayi''. It is possible that there is more than one stressed syllable in a word, meaning that that pahilíg mark may appear multiple times, as in Repúbliká. If there is no diacritic on the last two syllables of a word, then it means that there is stress on the penultimate syllable. ;Grave accent or paiwà It indicates that there is a glottal stop (/ʔ/) at the end of the word. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. This mark does not indicate stress. Therefore, following the previously stated rule on stress, ''sampulò'' is stressed on the second to the last syllable. ;Circumflex accent or pakupyâ It indicates that the final syllable of a word receives stress while there is a glottal stop that follows; ''udô''. This is because it is a combination of the pahilíg and paiwà marks. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. ===Stress=== Although Bikol is pronounced as it is spelled, stress is very unpredictable and stressing the wrong syllable can lead to misinterpretation; for that reason, almost every book and dictionary concerning the Bikol language will put an accent mark (´) on the stressed syllable. ===Vowels=== ''In Bicol, two consecutive vowels are pronounced separately.'' Unaccented Bikol vowels ; a : near-open central unrounded vowel IPA [ɐ]; like the '''''u''''' in c'''''u'''''t ; e : open-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [ɛ]; like the '''''e''''' in b'''''e'''''d ; i : near-close front unrounded vowel IPA [ɪ]; like the '''''i''''' in s'''''i'''''t ; o : close-mid back rounded vowel IPA [o]; like the '''''au''''' in '''''au'''''thor ; u : near-close back rounded vowel IPA [ʊ]; like the '''''oo''''' in f'''''oo'''''t Accented Bikol vowels ; a :open central unrounded vowel IPA [a]; like the '''''a''''' in f'''''a'''''r ; e :close-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [e]; like the '''''a''''' in h'''''a'''''nd ;i :close front unrounded vowel IPA [i]; like the '''''ee''''' in s'''''ee''''' ; o :open-mid back rounded vowel IPA [ɔ]; like the '''''o''''' in '''''o'''''ff ; u :close back rounded vowel IPA [u]; like the '''''oo''''' in s'''''oo'''''n ===Consonants=== ;b :as in '''''b'''''ee ;k :as in '''''k'''''ey ;d :as in '''''d'''''ough ;g :as in '''''g'''''old ;h :as in '''''h'''''eat ;l :as in '''''l'''''et ;m :as in '''''m'''''e ;n :as in '''''n'''''ice ;ng :as in so'''''ng''''' ;p :as in '''''p'''''ea ;r :as in '''''r'''''aw ;s :as in '''''s'''''ea ;t :as in '''''t'''''ea ;w :as in '''''w'''''eak ;y :as in '''''y'''''ou ''Some consonants are borrowed from Spanish and English and are used in writing names of places and personal names''. ; c : like '''''c''''' in s'''''c'''''are (before '''''a''''', '''''o''''', '''''u''''') :like '''''c''''' in pen'''''c'''''il (before '''''e''''' or '''''i''''') ; f : like '''''f''''' in '''''f'''''ine ; j :like '''''h''''' in '''''h'''''am ;ll :although not a letter in the Philippines but of Spanish influence, pronounced as '''''ly''''' ; ñ : like '''''ny''''' in ca'''''ny'''''on ; q : like '''''q''''' in '''''q'''''uest (always with a silent '''''u''''') ; v : pronounced the same way as '''''b''''' (see above) like '''''b''''' in el'''''b'''''ow. ; x : like '''''x''''' in fle'''''x'''''ible :like '''''ss''''' in hi'''''ss''''' (at beginning of a word) :like '''''h''''' as in '''''h'''''e in the family name ''Roxas'' ; z : like '''''s''''' in '''''s'''''upper ===Digraphs === ''Some digraphs appear in Spanish loan words.'' ;'''dy''' :as in '''''j'''''ust ;'''ts''' :as in '''''ch'''''ew ;'''sy''' :as in '''''sh'''''oe ;'''ny''' :as in ca'''''ny'''''on ;ly :as in mi'''''lli'''''on ===Common diphthongs=== ''In the spelling of many places and personal names, '''''ao''''' is used and is pronounced as in h'''''ow''''' just like the Spanish way of spelling''. ;aw :as in h'''''ow''''' ;iw :as in k'''''iw'''''i ;ay :as in h'''''igh''''' ;oy :as in b'''''oy''''' ==Grammar== ===Personal pronouns=== '''Inclusivity''' Note that Bicol has two words which are equivalent to the English word ''we''. If you intend to include the person or people you are talking to, the word to use is <u>kitá</u>. If the subject does not include your listener(s), then the correct word would be <u>kamí</u>. ===Negation=== ''Use'' <u>dài</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>no</u> ''and'' <u>bakô</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>not</u>. "Dàing gayón" ''means'' <u>no beauty</u> ''and'' <u>bakóng magayón</u> ''means'' <u>not beautiful</u>. ''Some'' ''adjectives'' ''connot'' ''be'' ''combined'' ''with'' <u>dài</u>. ''Never'' ''say'' <u>dàing lumóy</u>, ''instead'' ''say'', <u>bakóng malumóy</u>. ===Singular and plural verbs=== '''Note''' To form the plural verbs in Bicol, the syllables "ra","ri", "ro", and/or "ru", were added at the middle of the root word depending on the first syllable it follows. ;The child is playing. :Nagkakáwat an akì. ;The children are playing. :Nagkakaráwat an mga akì. ;The man is sitting. :Nagtutúkaw an lalaki. ;The men are sitting. :Nagtuturúkaw an mga lalaki. ;The dog is barking. :Nagbabatók an áyam/idò. ;The dogs are barking. :Nagbabaratók an mga áyam/idò. ;He/She bought an ice cream. :Nagbakál siya nin ice cream.

However, there is an exception. The plural of "magayón", is "magagayon" and "mabuot" is "mabubuot". ;A small stone. :Saróng sadít na gapô. (Bikol - Naga) :Saróng sadáy na gapô.

It is strongly influenced by [[Spanish phrasebook|Spanish]]. Belonging to the Austronesian family of languages, it is closely related to all the other languages in the Philippines like the larger [[Ilocano phrasebook|Ilocano]], [[Filipino phrasebook|Tagalog]] and [[Cebuano phrasebook|Cebuano]] and more distantly to the various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], the main language of the [[Malaysia]], is also closely related to Bikol, and while the two languages are not mutually intelligible, you will notice many cognates. There are also numerous false friends between Bikol and Malay, such as Malay ''pagi'' (morning) vs Bikol ''pagi'' (sting ray) and Bikol ''ayam'' (dog) vs Malay ''ayam'' (chicken). ==Pronunciation guide== ===Accent marks=== Diacritics (''tandang panduon'') are normally not written in everyday usage, be it in publications or personal correspondence. The teaching of diacritics is inconsistent in Philippine schools and many ''Bicolanos'' do not know how to use them. However, diacritics are normally used in dictionaries and in textbooks aimed at teaching the language to foreigners. ''There'' ''are'' ''three'' ''kinds'' ''of'' ''diacritics'' ''used'' ''in Bicol'': ;Acute accent or pahilíg Used to indicate primary or secondary stress on a particular syllable; ''marháy''. It is usually omitted on words that are stressed on the penultimate (second to the last) syllable; ''babáyi'' = ''babayi''. It is possible that there is more than one stressed syllable in a word, meaning that that pahilíg mark may appear multiple times, as in Repúbliká. If there is no diacritic on the last two syllables of a word, then it means that there is stress on the penultimate syllable. ;Grave accent or paiwà It indicates that there is a glottal stop (/ʔ/) at the end of the word. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. This mark does not indicate stress. Therefore, following the previously stated rule on stress, ''sampulò'' is stressed on the second to the last syllable. ;Circumflex accent or pakupyâ It indicates that the final syllable of a word receives stress while there is a glottal stop that follows; ''udô''. This is because it is a combination of the pahilíg and paiwà marks. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. ===Stress=== Although Bikol is pronounced as it is spelled, stress is very unpredictable and stressing the wrong syllable can lead to misinterpretation; for that reason, almost every book and dictionary concerning the Bikol language will put an accent mark (´) on the stressed syllable. ===Vowels=== ''In Bicol, two consecutive vowels are pronounced separately.'' Unaccented Bikol vowels ; a : near-open central unrounded vowel IPA [ɐ]; like the '''''u''''' in c'''''u'''''t ; e : open-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [ɛ]; like the '''''e''''' in b'''''e'''''d ; i : near-close front unrounded vowel IPA [ɪ]; like the '''''i''''' in s'''''i'''''t ; o : close-mid back rounded vowel IPA [o]; like the '''''au''''' in '''''au'''''thor ; u : near-close back rounded vowel IPA [ʊ]; like the '''''oo''''' in f'''''oo'''''t Accented Bikol vowels ; a :open central unrounded vowel IPA [a]; like the '''''a''''' in f'''''a'''''r ; e :close-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [e]; like the '''''a''''' in h'''''a'''''nd ;i :close front unrounded vowel IPA [i]; like the '''''ee''''' in s'''''ee''''' ; o :open-mid back rounded vowel IPA [ɔ]; like the '''''o''''' in '''''o'''''ff ; u :close back rounded vowel IPA [u]; like the '''''oo''''' in s'''''oo'''''n ===Consonants=== ;b :as in '''''b'''''ee ;k :as in '''''k'''''ey ;d :as in '''''d'''''ough ;g :as in '''''g'''''old ;h :as in '''''h'''''eat ;l :as in '''''l'''''et ;m :as in '''''m'''''e ;n :as in '''''n'''''ice ;ng :as in so'''''ng''''' ;p :as in '''''p'''''ea ;r :as in '''''r'''''aw ;s :as in '''''s'''''ea ;t :as in '''''t'''''ea ;w :as in '''''w'''''eak ;y :as in '''''y'''''ou ''Some consonants are borrowed from Spanish and English and are used in writing names of places and personal names''. ; c : like '''''c''''' in s'''''c'''''are (before '''''a''''', '''''o''''', '''''u''''') :like '''''c''''' in pen'''''c'''''il (before '''''e''''' or '''''i''''') ; f : like '''''f''''' in '''''f'''''ine ; j :like '''''h''''' in '''''h'''''am ;ll :although not a letter in the Philippines but of Spanish influence, pronounced as '''''ly''''' ; ñ : like '''''ny''''' in ca'''''ny'''''on ; q : like '''''q''''' in '''''q'''''uest (always with a silent '''''u''''') ; v : pronounced the same way as '''''b''''' (see above) like '''''b''''' in el'''''b'''''ow. ; x : like '''''x''''' in fle'''''x'''''ible :like '''''ss''''' in hi'''''ss''''' (at beginning of a word) :like '''''h''''' as in '''''h'''''e in the family name ''Roxas'' ; z : like '''''s''''' in '''''s'''''upper ===Digraphs === ''Some digraphs appear in Spanish loan words.'' ;'''dy''' :as in '''''j'''''ust ;'''ts''' :as in '''''ch'''''ew ;'''sy''' :as in '''''sh'''''oe ;'''ny''' :as in ca'''''ny'''''on ;ly :as in mi'''''lli'''''on ===Common diphthongs=== ''In the spelling of many places and personal names, '''''ao''''' is used and is pronounced as in h'''''ow''''' just like the Spanish way of spelling''. ;aw :as in h'''''ow''''' ;iw :as in k'''''iw'''''i ;ay :as in h'''''igh''''' ;oy :as in b'''''oy''''' ==Grammar== ===Personal pronouns=== '''Inclusivity''' Note that Bicol has two words which are equivalent to the English word ''we''. If you intend to include the person or people you are talking to, the word to use is <u>kitá</u>. If the subject does not include your listener(s), then the correct word would be <u>kamí</u>. ===Negation=== ''Use'' <u>dài</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>no</u> ''and'' <u>bakô</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>not</u>. "Dàing gayón" ''means'' <u>no beauty</u> ''and'' <u>bakóng magayón</u> ''means'' <u>not beautiful</u>. ''Some'' ''adjectives'' ''connot'' ''be'' ''combined'' ''with'' <u>dài</u>. ''Never'' ''say'' <u>dàing lumóy</u>, ''instead'' ''say'', <u>bakóng malumóy</u>. ===Singular and plural verbs=== '''Note''' To form the plural verbs in Bicol, the syllables "ra","ri", "ro", and/or "ru", were added at the middle of the root word depending on the first syllable it follows. ;The child is playing. :Nagkakáwat an akì. ;The children are playing. :Nagkakaráwat an mga akì. ;The man is sitting. :Nagtutúkaw an lalaki. ;The men are sitting. :Nagtuturúkaw an mga lalaki. ;The dog is barking. :Nagbabatók an áyam/idò. ;The dogs are barking. :Nagbabaratók an mga áyam/idò. ;He/She bought an ice cream. :Nagbakál siya nin ice cream.

However, there is an exception. The plural of "magayón", is "magagayon" and "mabuot" is "mabubuot". ;A small stone. :Saróng sadít na gapô. (Bikol - Naga) :Saróng sadáy na gapô.

It is strongly influenced by [[Spanish phrasebook|Spanish]]. Belonging to the Austronesian family of languages, it is closely related to all the other languages in the Philippines like the larger [[Ilocano phrasebook|Ilocano]], [[Filipino phrasebook|Tagalog]] and [[Cebuano phrasebook|Cebuano]] and more distantly to the various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], the main language of the [[Malaysia]], is also closely related to Bikol, and while the two languages are not mutually intelligible, you will notice many cognates. There are also numerous false friends between Bikol and Malay, such as Malay ''pagi'' (morning) vs Bikol ''pagi'' (sting ray) and Bikol ''ayam'' (dog) vs Malay ''ayam'' (chicken). ==Pronunciation guide== ===Accent marks=== Diacritics (''tandang panduon'') are normally not written in everyday usage, be it in publications or personal correspondence. The teaching of diacritics is inconsistent in Philippine schools and many ''Bicolanos'' do not know how to use them. However, diacritics are normally used in dictionaries and in textbooks aimed at teaching the language to foreigners. ''There'' ''are'' ''three'' ''kinds'' ''of'' ''diacritics'' ''used'' ''in Bicol'': ;Acute accent or pahilíg Used to indicate primary or secondary stress on a particular syllable; ''marháy''. It is usually omitted on words that are stressed on the penultimate (second to the last) syllable; ''babáyi'' = ''babayi''. It is possible that there is more than one stressed syllable in a word, meaning that that pahilíg mark may appear multiple times, as in Repúbliká. If there is no diacritic on the last two syllables of a word, then it means that there is stress on the penultimate syllable. ;Grave accent or paiwà It indicates that there is a glottal stop (/ʔ/) at the end of the word. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. This mark does not indicate stress. Therefore, following the previously stated rule on stress, ''sampulò'' is stressed on the second to the last syllable. ;Circumflex accent or pakupyâ It indicates that the final syllable of a word receives stress while there is a glottal stop that follows; ''udô''. This is because it is a combination of the pahilíg and paiwà marks. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. ===Stress=== Although Bikol is pronounced as it is spelled, stress is very unpredictable and stressing the wrong syllable can lead to misinterpretation; for that reason, almost every book and dictionary concerning the Bikol language will put an accent mark (´) on the stressed syllable. ===Vowels=== ''In Bicol, two consecutive vowels are pronounced separately.'' Unaccented Bikol vowels ; a : near-open central unrounded vowel IPA [ɐ]; like the '''''u''''' in c'''''u'''''t ; e : open-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [ɛ]; like the '''''e''''' in b'''''e'''''d ; i : near-close front unrounded vowel IPA [ɪ]; like the '''''i''''' in s'''''i'''''t ; o : close-mid back rounded vowel IPA [o]; like the '''''au''''' in '''''au'''''thor ; u : near-close back rounded vowel IPA [ʊ]; like the '''''oo''''' in f'''''oo'''''t Accented Bikol vowels ; a :open central unrounded vowel IPA [a]; like the '''''a''''' in f'''''a'''''r ; e :close-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [e]; like the '''''a''''' in h'''''a'''''nd ;i :close front unrounded vowel IPA [i]; like the '''''ee''''' in s'''''ee''''' ; o :open-mid back rounded vowel IPA [ɔ]; like the '''''o''''' in '''''o'''''ff ; u :close back rounded vowel IPA [u]; like the '''''oo''''' in s'''''oo'''''n ===Consonants=== ;b :as in '''''b'''''ee ;k :as in '''''k'''''ey ;d :as in '''''d'''''ough ;g :as in '''''g'''''old ;h :as in '''''h'''''eat ;l :as in '''''l'''''et ;m :as in '''''m'''''e ;n :as in '''''n'''''ice ;ng :as in so'''''ng''''' ;p :as in '''''p'''''ea ;r :as in '''''r'''''aw ;s :as in '''''s'''''ea ;t :as in '''''t'''''ea ;w :as in '''''w'''''eak ;y :as in '''''y'''''ou ''Some consonants are borrowed from Spanish and English and are used in writing names of places and personal names''. ; c : like '''''c''''' in s'''''c'''''are (before '''''a''''', '''''o''''', '''''u''''') :like '''''c''''' in pen'''''c'''''il (before '''''e''''' or '''''i''''') ; f : like '''''f''''' in '''''f'''''ine ; j :like '''''h''''' in '''''h'''''am ;ll :although not a letter in the Philippines but of Spanish influence, pronounced as '''''ly''''' ; ñ : like '''''ny''''' in ca'''''ny'''''on ; q : like '''''q''''' in '''''q'''''uest (always with a silent '''''u''''') ; v : pronounced the same way as '''''b''''' (see above) like '''''b''''' in el'''''b'''''ow. ; x : like '''''x''''' in fle'''''x'''''ible :like '''''ss''''' in hi'''''ss''''' (at beginning of a word) :like '''''h''''' as in '''''h'''''e in the family name ''Roxas'' ; z : like '''''s''''' in '''''s'''''upper ===Digraphs === ''Some digraphs appear in Spanish loan words.'' ;'''dy''' :as in '''''j'''''ust ;'''ts''' :as in '''''ch'''''ew ;'''sy''' :as in '''''sh'''''oe ;'''ny''' :as in ca'''''ny'''''on ;ly :as in mi'''''lli'''''on ===Common diphthongs=== ''In the spelling of many places and personal names, '''''ao''''' is used and is pronounced as in h'''''ow''''' just like the Spanish way of spelling''. ;aw :as in h'''''ow''''' ;iw :as in k'''''iw'''''i ;ay :as in h'''''igh''''' ;oy :as in b'''''oy''''' ==Grammar== ===Personal pronouns=== '''Inclusivity''' Note that Bicol has two words which are equivalent to the English word ''we''. If you intend to include the person or people you are talking to, the word to use is <u>kitá</u>. If the subject does not include your listener(s), then the correct word would be <u>kamí</u>. ===Negation=== ''Use'' <u>dài</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>no</u> ''and'' <u>bakô</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>not</u>.

''Never'' ''say'' <u>dàing lumóy</u>, ''instead'' ''say'', <u>bakóng malumóy</u>. ===Singular and plural verbs=== '''Note''' To form the plural verbs in Bicol, the syllables "ra","ri", "ro", and/or "ru", were added at the middle of the root word depending on the first syllable it follows. ;The child is playing. :Nagkakáwat an akì. ;The children are playing. :Nagkakaráwat an mga akì. ;The man is sitting. :Nagtutúkaw an lalaki. ;The men are sitting. :Nagtuturúkaw an mga lalaki. ;The dog is barking. :Nagbabatók an áyam/idò. ;The dogs are barking. :Nagbabaratók an mga áyam/idò. ;He/She bought an ice cream. :Nagbakál siya nin ice cream.

It is strongly influenced by [[Spanish phrasebook|Spanish]]. Belonging to the Austronesian family of languages, it is closely related to all the other languages in the Philippines like the larger [[Ilocano phrasebook|Ilocano]], [[Filipino phrasebook|Tagalog]] and [[Cebuano phrasebook|Cebuano]] and more distantly to the various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], the main language of the [[Malaysia]], is also closely related to Bikol, and while the two languages are not mutually intelligible, you will notice many cognates. There are also numerous false friends between Bikol and Malay, such as Malay ''pagi'' (morning) vs Bikol ''pagi'' (sting ray) and Bikol ''ayam'' (dog) vs Malay ''ayam'' (chicken). ==Pronunciation guide== ===Accent marks=== Diacritics (''tandang panduon'') are normally not written in everyday usage, be it in publications or personal correspondence. The teaching of diacritics is inconsistent in Philippine schools and many ''Bicolanos'' do not know how to use them. However, diacritics are normally used in dictionaries and in textbooks aimed at teaching the language to foreigners. ''There'' ''are'' ''three'' ''kinds'' ''of'' ''diacritics'' ''used'' ''in Bicol'': ;Acute accent or pahilíg Used to indicate primary or secondary stress on a particular syllable; ''marháy''. It is usually omitted on words that are stressed on the penultimate (second to the last) syllable; ''babáyi'' = ''babayi''. It is possible that there is more than one stressed syllable in a word, meaning that that pahilíg mark may appear multiple times, as in Repúbliká. If there is no diacritic on the last two syllables of a word, then it means that there is stress on the penultimate syllable. ;Grave accent or paiwà It indicates that there is a glottal stop (/ʔ/) at the end of the word. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. This mark does not indicate stress. Therefore, following the previously stated rule on stress, ''sampulò'' is stressed on the second to the last syllable. ;Circumflex accent or pakupyâ It indicates that the final syllable of a word receives stress while there is a glottal stop that follows; ''udô''. This is because it is a combination of the pahilíg and paiwà marks. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. ===Stress=== Although Bikol is pronounced as it is spelled, stress is very unpredictable and stressing the wrong syllable can lead to misinterpretation; for that reason, almost every book and dictionary concerning the Bikol language will put an accent mark (´) on the stressed syllable. ===Vowels=== ''In Bicol, two consecutive vowels are pronounced separately.'' Unaccented Bikol vowels ; a : near-open central unrounded vowel IPA [ɐ]; like the '''''u''''' in c'''''u'''''t ; e : open-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [ɛ]; like the '''''e''''' in b'''''e'''''d ; i : near-close front unrounded vowel IPA [ɪ]; like the '''''i''''' in s'''''i'''''t ; o : close-mid back rounded vowel IPA [o]; like the '''''au''''' in '''''au'''''thor ; u : near-close back rounded vowel IPA [ʊ]; like the '''''oo''''' in f'''''oo'''''t Accented Bikol vowels ; a :open central unrounded vowel IPA [a]; like the '''''a''''' in f'''''a'''''r ; e :close-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [e]; like the '''''a''''' in h'''''a'''''nd ;i :close front unrounded vowel IPA [i]; like the '''''ee''''' in s'''''ee''''' ; o :open-mid back rounded vowel IPA [ɔ]; like the '''''o''''' in '''''o'''''ff ; u :close back rounded vowel IPA [u]; like the '''''oo''''' in s'''''oo'''''n ===Consonants=== ;b :as in '''''b'''''ee ;k :as in '''''k'''''ey ;d :as in '''''d'''''ough ;g :as in '''''g'''''old ;h :as in '''''h'''''eat ;l :as in '''''l'''''et ;m :as in '''''m'''''e ;n :as in '''''n'''''ice ;ng :as in so'''''ng''''' ;p :as in '''''p'''''ea ;r :as in '''''r'''''aw ;s :as in '''''s'''''ea ;t :as in '''''t'''''ea ;w :as in '''''w'''''eak ;y :as in '''''y'''''ou ''Some consonants are borrowed from Spanish and English and are used in writing names of places and personal names''. ; c : like '''''c''''' in s'''''c'''''are (before '''''a''''', '''''o''''', '''''u''''') :like '''''c''''' in pen'''''c'''''il (before '''''e''''' or '''''i''''') ; f : like '''''f''''' in '''''f'''''ine ; j :like '''''h''''' in '''''h'''''am ;ll :although not a letter in the Philippines but of Spanish influence, pronounced as '''''ly''''' ; ñ : like '''''ny''''' in ca'''''ny'''''on ; q : like '''''q''''' in '''''q'''''uest (always with a silent '''''u''''') ; v : pronounced the same way as '''''b''''' (see above) like '''''b''''' in el'''''b'''''ow. ; x : like '''''x''''' in fle'''''x'''''ible :like '''''ss''''' in hi'''''ss''''' (at beginning of a word) :like '''''h''''' as in '''''h'''''e in the family name ''Roxas'' ; z : like '''''s''''' in '''''s'''''upper ===Digraphs === ''Some digraphs appear in Spanish loan words.'' ;'''dy''' :as in '''''j'''''ust ;'''ts''' :as in '''''ch'''''ew ;'''sy''' :as in '''''sh'''''oe ;'''ny''' :as in ca'''''ny'''''on ;ly :as in mi'''''lli'''''on ===Common diphthongs=== ''In the spelling of many places and personal names, '''''ao''''' is used and is pronounced as in h'''''ow''''' just like the Spanish way of spelling''. ;aw :as in h'''''ow''''' ;iw :as in k'''''iw'''''i ;ay :as in h'''''igh''''' ;oy :as in b'''''oy''''' ==Grammar== ===Personal pronouns=== '''Inclusivity''' Note that Bicol has two words which are equivalent to the English word ''we''. If you intend to include the person or people you are talking to, the word to use is <u>kitá</u>. If the subject does not include your listener(s), then the correct word would be <u>kamí</u>. ===Negation=== ''Use'' <u>dài</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>no</u> ''and'' <u>bakô</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>not</u>. "Dàing gayón" ''means'' <u>no beauty</u> ''and'' <u>bakóng magayón</u> ''means'' <u>not beautiful</u>. ''Some'' ''adjectives'' ''connot'' ''be'' ''combined'' ''with'' <u>dài</u>. ''Never'' ''say'' <u>dàing lumóy</u>, ''instead'' ''say'', <u>bakóng malumóy</u>. ===Singular and plural verbs=== '''Note''' To form the plural verbs in Bicol, the syllables "ra","ri", "ro", and/or "ru", were added at the middle of the root word depending on the first syllable it follows. ;The child is playing. :Nagkakáwat an akì. ;The children are playing. :Nagkakaráwat an mga akì. ;The man is sitting. :Nagtutúkaw an lalaki. ;The men are sitting. :Nagtuturúkaw an mga lalaki. ;The dog is barking. :Nagbabatók an áyam/idò. ;The dogs are barking. :Nagbabaratók an mga áyam/idò. ;He/She bought an ice cream. :Nagbakál siya nin ice cream.

However, there is an exception. The plural of "magayón", is "magagayon" and "mabuot" is "mabubuot". ;A small stone. :Saróng sadít na gapô. (Bikol - Naga) :Saróng sadáy na gapô.

It is strongly influenced by [[Spanish phrasebook|Spanish]]. Belonging to the Austronesian family of languages, it is closely related to all the other languages in the Philippines like the larger [[Ilocano phrasebook|Ilocano]], [[Filipino phrasebook|Tagalog]] and [[Cebuano phrasebook|Cebuano]] and more distantly to the various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], the main language of the [[Malaysia]], is also closely related to Bikol, and while the two languages are not mutually intelligible, you will notice many cognates. There are also numerous false friends between Bikol and Malay, such as Malay ''pagi'' (morning) vs Bikol ''pagi'' (sting ray) and Bikol ''ayam'' (dog) vs Malay ''ayam'' (chicken). ==Pronunciation guide== ===Accent marks=== Diacritics (''tandang panduon'') are normally not written in everyday usage, be it in publications or personal correspondence. The teaching of diacritics is inconsistent in Philippine schools and many ''Bicolanos'' do not know how to use them. However, diacritics are normally used in dictionaries and in textbooks aimed at teaching the language to foreigners. ''There'' ''are'' ''three'' ''kinds'' ''of'' ''diacritics'' ''used'' ''in Bicol'': ;Acute accent or pahilíg Used to indicate primary or secondary stress on a particular syllable; ''marháy''. It is usually omitted on words that are stressed on the penultimate (second to the last) syllable; ''babáyi'' = ''babayi''. It is possible that there is more than one stressed syllable in a word, meaning that that pahilíg mark may appear multiple times, as in Repúbliká. If there is no diacritic on the last two syllables of a word, then it means that there is stress on the penultimate syllable. ;Grave accent or paiwà It indicates that there is a glottal stop (/ʔ/) at the end of the word. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. This mark does not indicate stress. Therefore, following the previously stated rule on stress, ''sampulò'' is stressed on the second to the last syllable. ;Circumflex accent or pakupyâ It indicates that the final syllable of a word receives stress while there is a glottal stop that follows; ''udô''. This is because it is a combination of the pahilíg and paiwà marks. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. ===Stress=== Although Bikol is pronounced as it is spelled, stress is very unpredictable and stressing the wrong syllable can lead to misinterpretation; for that reason, almost every book and dictionary concerning the Bikol language will put an accent mark (´) on the stressed syllable. ===Vowels=== ''In Bicol, two consecutive vowels are pronounced separately.'' Unaccented Bikol vowels ; a : near-open central unrounded vowel IPA [ɐ]; like the '''''u''''' in c'''''u'''''t ; e : open-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [ɛ]; like the '''''e''''' in b'''''e'''''d ; i : near-close front unrounded vowel IPA [ɪ]; like the '''''i''''' in s'''''i'''''t ; o : close-mid back rounded vowel IPA [o]; like the '''''au''''' in '''''au'''''thor ; u : near-close back rounded vowel IPA [ʊ]; like the '''''oo''''' in f'''''oo'''''t Accented Bikol vowels ; a :open central unrounded vowel IPA [a]; like the '''''a''''' in f'''''a'''''r ; e :close-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [e]; like the '''''a''''' in h'''''a'''''nd ;i :close front unrounded vowel IPA [i]; like the '''''ee''''' in s'''''ee''''' ; o :open-mid back rounded vowel IPA [ɔ]; like the '''''o''''' in '''''o'''''ff ; u :close back rounded vowel IPA [u]; like the '''''oo''''' in s'''''oo'''''n ===Consonants=== ;b :as in '''''b'''''ee ;k :as in '''''k'''''ey ;d :as in '''''d'''''ough ;g :as in '''''g'''''old ;h :as in '''''h'''''eat ;l :as in '''''l'''''et ;m :as in '''''m'''''e ;n :as in '''''n'''''ice ;ng :as in so'''''ng''''' ;p :as in '''''p'''''ea ;r :as in '''''r'''''aw ;s :as in '''''s'''''ea ;t :as in '''''t'''''ea ;w :as in '''''w'''''eak ;y :as in '''''y'''''ou ''Some consonants are borrowed from Spanish and English and are used in writing names of places and personal names''. ; c : like '''''c''''' in s'''''c'''''are (before '''''a''''', '''''o''''', '''''u''''') :like '''''c''''' in pen'''''c'''''il (before '''''e''''' or '''''i''''') ; f : like '''''f''''' in '''''f'''''ine ; j :like '''''h''''' in '''''h'''''am ;ll :although not a letter in the Philippines but of Spanish influence, pronounced as '''''ly''''' ; ñ : like '''''ny''''' in ca'''''ny'''''on ; q : like '''''q''''' in '''''q'''''uest (always with a silent '''''u''''') ; v : pronounced the same way as '''''b''''' (see above) like '''''b''''' in el'''''b'''''ow. ; x : like '''''x''''' in fle'''''x'''''ible :like '''''ss''''' in hi'''''ss''''' (at beginning of a word) :like '''''h''''' as in '''''h'''''e in the family name ''Roxas'' ; z : like '''''s''''' in '''''s'''''upper ===Digraphs === ''Some digraphs appear in Spanish loan words.'' ;'''dy''' :as in '''''j'''''ust ;'''ts''' :as in '''''ch'''''ew ;'''sy''' :as in '''''sh'''''oe ;'''ny''' :as in ca'''''ny'''''on ;ly :as in mi'''''lli'''''on ===Common diphthongs=== ''In the spelling of many places and personal names, '''''ao''''' is used and is pronounced as in h'''''ow''''' just like the Spanish way of spelling''. ;aw :as in h'''''ow''''' ;iw :as in k'''''iw'''''i ;ay :as in h'''''igh''''' ;oy :as in b'''''oy''''' ==Grammar== ===Personal pronouns=== '''Inclusivity''' Note that Bicol has two words which are equivalent to the English word ''we''. If you intend to include the person or people you are talking to, the word to use is <u>kitá</u>. If the subject does not include your listener(s), then the correct word would be <u>kamí</u>. ===Negation=== ''Use'' <u>dài</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>no</u> ''and'' <u>bakô</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>not</u>. "Dàing gayón" ''means'' <u>no beauty</u> ''and'' <u>bakóng magayón</u> ''means'' <u>not beautiful</u>. ''Some'' ''adjectives'' ''connot'' ''be'' ''combined'' ''with'' <u>dài</u>. ''Never'' ''say'' <u>dàing lumóy</u>, ''instead'' ''say'', <u>bakóng malumóy</u>. ===Singular and plural verbs=== '''Note''' To form the plural verbs in Bicol, the syllables "ra","ri", "ro", and/or "ru", were added at the middle of the root word depending on the first syllable it follows. ;The child is playing. :Nagkakáwat an akì. ;The children are playing. :Nagkakaráwat an mga akì. ;The man is sitting. :Nagtutúkaw an lalaki. ;The men are sitting. :Nagtuturúkaw an mga lalaki. ;The dog is barking. :Nagbabatók an áyam/idò. ;The dogs are barking. :Nagbabaratók an mga áyam/idò. ;He/She bought an ice cream. :Nagbakál siya nin ice cream.

However, there is an exception. The plural of "magayón", is "magagayon" and "mabuot" is "mabubuot". ;A small stone. :Saróng sadít na gapô. (Bikol - Naga) :Saróng sadáy na gapô.

It is strongly influenced by [[Spanish phrasebook|Spanish]]. Belonging to the Austronesian family of languages, it is closely related to all the other languages in the Philippines like the larger [[Ilocano phrasebook|Ilocano]], [[Filipino phrasebook|Tagalog]] and [[Cebuano phrasebook|Cebuano]] and more distantly to the various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], the main language of the [[Malaysia]], is also closely related to Bikol, and while the two languages are not mutually intelligible, you will notice many cognates. There are also numerous false friends between Bikol and Malay, such as Malay ''pagi'' (morning) vs Bikol ''pagi'' (sting ray) and Bikol ''ayam'' (dog) vs Malay ''ayam'' (chicken). ==Pronunciation guide== ===Accent marks=== Diacritics (''tandang panduon'') are normally not written in everyday usage, be it in publications or personal correspondence. The teaching of diacritics is inconsistent in Philippine schools and many ''Bicolanos'' do not know how to use them. However, diacritics are normally used in dictionaries and in textbooks aimed at teaching the language to foreigners. ''There'' ''are'' ''three'' ''kinds'' ''of'' ''diacritics'' ''used'' ''in Bicol'': ;Acute accent or pahilíg Used to indicate primary or secondary stress on a particular syllable; ''marháy''. It is usually omitted on words that are stressed on the penultimate (second to the last) syllable; ''babáyi'' = ''babayi''. It is possible that there is more than one stressed syllable in a word, meaning that that pahilíg mark may appear multiple times, as in Repúbliká. If there is no diacritic on the last two syllables of a word, then it means that there is stress on the penultimate syllable. ;Grave accent or paiwà It indicates that there is a glottal stop (/ʔ/) at the end of the word. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. This mark does not indicate stress. Therefore, following the previously stated rule on stress, ''sampulò'' is stressed on the second to the last syllable. ;Circumflex accent or pakupyâ It indicates that the final syllable of a word receives stress while there is a glottal stop that follows; ''udô''. This is because it is a combination of the pahilíg and paiwà marks. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. ===Stress=== Although Bikol is pronounced as it is spelled, stress is very unpredictable and stressing the wrong syllable can lead to misinterpretation; for that reason, almost every book and dictionary concerning the Bikol language will put an accent mark (´) on the stressed syllable. ===Vowels=== ''In Bicol, two consecutive vowels are pronounced separately.'' Unaccented Bikol vowels ; a : near-open central unrounded vowel IPA [ɐ]; like the '''''u''''' in c'''''u'''''t ; e : open-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [ɛ]; like the '''''e''''' in b'''''e'''''d ; i : near-close front unrounded vowel IPA [ɪ]; like the '''''i''''' in s'''''i'''''t ; o : close-mid back rounded vowel IPA [o]; like the '''''au''''' in '''''au'''''thor ; u : near-close back rounded vowel IPA [ʊ]; like the '''''oo''''' in f'''''oo'''''t Accented Bikol vowels ; a :open central unrounded vowel IPA [a]; like the '''''a''''' in f'''''a'''''r ; e :close-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [e]; like the '''''a''''' in h'''''a'''''nd ;i :close front unrounded vowel IPA [i]; like the '''''ee''''' in s'''''ee''''' ; o :open-mid back rounded vowel IPA [ɔ]; like the '''''o''''' in '''''o'''''ff ; u :close back rounded vowel IPA [u]; like the '''''oo''''' in s'''''oo'''''n ===Consonants=== ;b :as in '''''b'''''ee ;k :as in '''''k'''''ey ;d :as in '''''d'''''ough ;g :as in '''''g'''''old ;h :as in '''''h'''''eat ;l :as in '''''l'''''et ;m :as in '''''m'''''e ;n :as in '''''n'''''ice ;ng :as in so'''''ng''''' ;p :as in '''''p'''''ea ;r :as in '''''r'''''aw ;s :as in '''''s'''''ea ;t :as in '''''t'''''ea ;w :as in '''''w'''''eak ;y :as in '''''y'''''ou ''Some consonants are borrowed from Spanish and English and are used in writing names of places and personal names''. ; c : like '''''c''''' in s'''''c'''''are (before '''''a''''', '''''o''''', '''''u''''') :like '''''c''''' in pen'''''c'''''il (before '''''e''''' or '''''i''''') ; f : like '''''f''''' in '''''f'''''ine ; j :like '''''h''''' in '''''h'''''am ;ll :although not a letter in the Philippines but of Spanish influence, pronounced as '''''ly''''' ; ñ : like '''''ny''''' in ca'''''ny'''''on ; q : like '''''q''''' in '''''q'''''uest (always with a silent '''''u''''') ; v : pronounced the same way as '''''b''''' (see above) like '''''b''''' in el'''''b'''''ow. ; x : like '''''x''''' in fle'''''x'''''ible :like '''''ss''''' in hi'''''ss''''' (at beginning of a word) :like '''''h''''' as in '''''h'''''e in the family name ''Roxas'' ; z : like '''''s''''' in '''''s'''''upper ===Digraphs === ''Some digraphs appear in Spanish loan words.'' ;'''dy''' :as in '''''j'''''ust ;'''ts''' :as in '''''ch'''''ew ;'''sy''' :as in '''''sh'''''oe ;'''ny''' :as in ca'''''ny'''''on ;ly :as in mi'''''lli'''''on ===Common diphthongs=== ''In the spelling of many places and personal names, '''''ao''''' is used and is pronounced as in h'''''ow''''' just like the Spanish way of spelling''. ;aw :as in h'''''ow''''' ;iw :as in k'''''iw'''''i ;ay :as in h'''''igh''''' ;oy :as in b'''''oy''''' ==Grammar== ===Personal pronouns=== '''Inclusivity''' Note that Bicol has two words which are equivalent to the English word ''we''. If you intend to include the person or people you are talking to, the word to use is <u>kitá</u>. If the subject does not include your listener(s), then the correct word would be <u>kamí</u>. ===Negation=== ''Use'' <u>dài</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>no</u> ''and'' <u>bakô</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>not</u>. "Dàing gayón" ''means'' <u>no beauty</u> ''and'' <u>bakóng magayón</u> ''means'' <u>not beautiful</u>. ''Some'' ''adjectives'' ''connot'' ''be'' ''combined'' ''with'' <u>dài</u>. ''Never'' ''say'' <u>dàing lumóy</u>, ''instead'' ''say'', <u>bakóng malumóy</u>. ===Singular and plural verbs=== '''Note''' To form the plural verbs in Bicol, the syllables "ra","ri", "ro", and/or "ru", were added at the middle of the root word depending on the first syllable it follows. ;The child is playing. :Nagkakáwat an akì. ;The children are playing. :Nagkakaráwat an mga akì. ;The man is sitting. :Nagtutúkaw an lalaki. ;The men are sitting. :Nagtuturúkaw an mga lalaki. ;The dog is barking. :Nagbabatók an áyam/idò. ;The dogs are barking. :Nagbabaratók an mga áyam/idò. ;He/She bought an ice cream. :Nagbakál siya nin ice cream.

However, there is an exception. The plural of "magayón", is "magagayon" and "mabuot" is "mabubuot". ;A small stone. :Saróng sadít na gapô. (Bikol - Naga) :Saróng sadáy na gapô.

It is strongly influenced by [[Spanish phrasebook|Spanish]]. Belonging to the Austronesian family of languages, it is closely related to all the other languages in the Philippines like the larger [[Ilocano phrasebook|Ilocano]], [[Filipino phrasebook|Tagalog]] and [[Cebuano phrasebook|Cebuano]] and more distantly to the various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], the main language of the [[Malaysia]], is also closely related to Bikol, and while the two languages are not mutually intelligible, you will notice many cognates. There are also numerous false friends between Bikol and Malay, such as Malay ''pagi'' (morning) vs Bikol ''pagi'' (sting ray) and Bikol ''ayam'' (dog) vs Malay ''ayam'' (chicken). ==Pronunciation guide== ===Accent marks=== Diacritics (''tandang panduon'') are normally not written in everyday usage, be it in publications or personal correspondence. The teaching of diacritics is inconsistent in Philippine schools and many ''Bicolanos'' do not know how to use them. However, diacritics are normally used in dictionaries and in textbooks aimed at teaching the language to foreigners. ''There'' ''are'' ''three'' ''kinds'' ''of'' ''diacritics'' ''used'' ''in Bicol'': ;Acute accent or pahilíg Used to indicate primary or secondary stress on a particular syllable; ''marháy''. It is usually omitted on words that are stressed on the penultimate (second to the last) syllable; ''babáyi'' = ''babayi''. It is possible that there is more than one stressed syllable in a word, meaning that that pahilíg mark may appear multiple times, as in Repúbliká. If there is no diacritic on the last two syllables of a word, then it means that there is stress on the penultimate syllable. ;Grave accent or paiwà It indicates that there is a glottal stop (/ʔ/) at the end of the word. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. This mark does not indicate stress. Therefore, following the previously stated rule on stress, ''sampulò'' is stressed on the second to the last syllable. ;Circumflex accent or pakupyâ It indicates that the final syllable of a word receives stress while there is a glottal stop that follows; ''udô''. This is because it is a combination of the pahilíg and paiwà marks. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. ===Stress=== Although Bikol is pronounced as it is spelled, stress is very unpredictable and stressing the wrong syllable can lead to misinterpretation; for that reason, almost every book and dictionary concerning the Bikol language will put an accent mark (´) on the stressed syllable. ===Vowels=== ''In Bicol, two consecutive vowels are pronounced separately.'' Unaccented Bikol vowels ; a : near-open central unrounded vowel IPA [ɐ]; like the '''''u''''' in c'''''u'''''t ; e : open-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [ɛ]; like the '''''e''''' in b'''''e'''''d ; i : near-close front unrounded vowel IPA [ɪ]; like the '''''i''''' in s'''''i'''''t ; o : close-mid back rounded vowel IPA [o]; like the '''''au''''' in '''''au'''''thor ; u : near-close back rounded vowel IPA [ʊ]; like the '''''oo''''' in f'''''oo'''''t Accented Bikol vowels ; a :open central unrounded vowel IPA [a]; like the '''''a''''' in f'''''a'''''r ; e :close-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [e]; like the '''''a''''' in h'''''a'''''nd ;i :close front unrounded vowel IPA [i]; like the '''''ee''''' in s'''''ee''''' ; o :open-mid back rounded vowel IPA [ɔ]; like the '''''o''''' in '''''o'''''ff ; u :close back rounded vowel IPA [u]; like the '''''oo''''' in s'''''oo'''''n ===Consonants=== ;b :as in '''''b'''''ee ;k :as in '''''k'''''ey ;d :as in '''''d'''''ough ;g :as in '''''g'''''old ;h :as in '''''h'''''eat ;l :as in '''''l'''''et ;m :as in '''''m'''''e ;n :as in '''''n'''''ice ;ng :as in so'''''ng''''' ;p :as in '''''p'''''ea ;r :as in '''''r'''''aw ;s :as in '''''s'''''ea ;t :as in '''''t'''''ea ;w :as in '''''w'''''eak ;y :as in '''''y'''''ou ''Some consonants are borrowed from Spanish and English and are used in writing names of places and personal names''. ; c : like '''''c''''' in s'''''c'''''are (before '''''a''''', '''''o''''', '''''u''''') :like '''''c''''' in pen'''''c'''''il (before '''''e''''' or '''''i''''') ; f : like '''''f''''' in '''''f'''''ine ; j :like '''''h''''' in '''''h'''''am ;ll :although not a letter in the Philippines but of Spanish influence, pronounced as '''''ly''''' ; ñ : like '''''ny''''' in ca'''''ny'''''on ; q : like '''''q''''' in '''''q'''''uest (always with a silent '''''u''''') ; v : pronounced the same way as '''''b''''' (see above) like '''''b''''' in el'''''b'''''ow. ; x : like '''''x''''' in fle'''''x'''''ible :like '''''ss''''' in hi'''''ss''''' (at beginning of a word) :like '''''h''''' as in '''''h'''''e in the family name ''Roxas'' ; z : like '''''s''''' in '''''s'''''upper ===Digraphs === ''Some digraphs appear in Spanish loan words.'' ;'''dy''' :as in '''''j'''''ust ;'''ts''' :as in '''''ch'''''ew ;'''sy''' :as in '''''sh'''''oe ;'''ny''' :as in ca'''''ny'''''on ;ly :as in mi'''''lli'''''on ===Common diphthongs=== ''In the spelling of many places and personal names, '''''ao''''' is used and is pronounced as in h'''''ow''''' just like the Spanish way of spelling''. ;aw :as in h'''''ow''''' ;iw :as in k'''''iw'''''i ;ay :as in h'''''igh''''' ;oy :as in b'''''oy''''' ==Grammar== ===Personal pronouns=== '''Inclusivity''' Note that Bicol has two words which are equivalent to the English word ''we''. If you intend to include the person or people you are talking to, the word to use is <u>kitá</u>. If the subject does not include your listener(s), then the correct word would be <u>kamí</u>. ===Negation=== ''Use'' <u>dài</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>no</u> ''and'' <u>bakô</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>not</u>. "Dàing gayón" ''means'' <u>no beauty</u> ''and'' <u>bakóng magayón</u> ''means'' <u>not beautiful</u>. ''Some'' ''adjectives'' ''connot'' ''be'' ''combined'' ''with'' <u>dài</u>. ''Never'' ''say'' <u>dàing lumóy</u>, ''instead'' ''say'', <u>bakóng malumóy</u>. ===Singular and plural verbs=== '''Note''' To form the plural verbs in Bicol, the syllables "ra","ri", "ro", and/or "ru", were added at the middle of the root word depending on the first syllable it follows. ;The child is playing. :Nagkakáwat an akì. ;The children are playing. :Nagkakaráwat an mga akì. ;The man is sitting. :Nagtutúkaw an lalaki. ;The men are sitting. :Nagtuturúkaw an mga lalaki. ;The dog is barking. :Nagbabatók an áyam/idò. ;The dogs are barking. :Nagbabaratók an mga áyam/idò. ;He/She bought an ice cream. :Nagbakál siya nin ice cream.

However, there is an exception. The plural of "magayón", is "magagayon" and "mabuot" is "mabubuot". ;A small stone. :Saróng sadít na gapô. (Bikol - Naga) :Saróng sadáy na gapô.

It is strongly influenced by [[Spanish phrasebook|Spanish]]. Belonging to the Austronesian family of languages, it is closely related to all the other languages in the Philippines like the larger [[Ilocano phrasebook|Ilocano]], [[Filipino phrasebook|Tagalog]] and [[Cebuano phrasebook|Cebuano]] and more distantly to the various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], the main language of the [[Malaysia]], is also closely related to Bikol, and while the two languages are not mutually intelligible, you will notice many cognates. There are also numerous false friends between Bikol and Malay, such as Malay ''pagi'' (morning) vs Bikol ''pagi'' (sting ray) and Bikol ''ayam'' (dog) vs Malay ''ayam'' (chicken). ==Pronunciation guide== ===Accent marks=== Diacritics (''tandang panduon'') are normally not written in everyday usage, be it in publications or personal correspondence. The teaching of diacritics is inconsistent in Philippine schools and many ''Bicolanos'' do not know how to use them. However, diacritics are normally used in dictionaries and in textbooks aimed at teaching the language to foreigners. ''There'' ''are'' ''three'' ''kinds'' ''of'' ''diacritics'' ''used'' ''in Bicol'': ;Acute accent or pahilíg Used to indicate primary or secondary stress on a particular syllable; ''marháy''. It is usually omitted on words that are stressed on the penultimate (second to the last) syllable; ''babáyi'' = ''babayi''. It is possible that there is more than one stressed syllable in a word, meaning that that pahilíg mark may appear multiple times, as in Repúbliká. If there is no diacritic on the last two syllables of a word, then it means that there is stress on the penultimate syllable. ;Grave accent or paiwà It indicates that there is a glottal stop (/ʔ/) at the end of the word. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. This mark does not indicate stress. Therefore, following the previously stated rule on stress, ''sampulò'' is stressed on the second to the last syllable. ;Circumflex accent or pakupyâ It indicates that the final syllable of a word receives stress while there is a glottal stop that follows; ''udô''. This is because it is a combination of the pahilíg and paiwà marks. This mark may only appear at the end of a word that ends in a vowel. ===Stress=== Although Bikol is pronounced as it is spelled, stress is very unpredictable and stressing the wrong syllable can lead to misinterpretation; for that reason, almost every book and dictionary concerning the Bikol language will put an accent mark (´) on the stressed syllable. ===Vowels=== ''In Bicol, two consecutive vowels are pronounced separately.'' Unaccented Bikol vowels ; a : near-open central unrounded vowel IPA [ɐ]; like the '''''u''''' in c'''''u'''''t ; e : open-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [ɛ]; like the '''''e''''' in b'''''e'''''d ; i : near-close front unrounded vowel IPA [ɪ]; like the '''''i''''' in s'''''i'''''t ; o : close-mid back rounded vowel IPA [o]; like the '''''au''''' in '''''au'''''thor ; u : near-close back rounded vowel IPA [ʊ]; like the '''''oo''''' in f'''''oo'''''t Accented Bikol vowels ; a :open central unrounded vowel IPA [a]; like the '''''a''''' in f'''''a'''''r ; e :close-mid front unrounded vowel IPA [e]; like the '''''a''''' in h'''''a'''''nd ;i :close front unrounded vowel IPA [i]; like the '''''ee''''' in s'''''ee''''' ; o :open-mid back rounded vowel IPA [ɔ]; like the '''''o''''' in '''''o'''''ff ; u :close back rounded vowel IPA [u]; like the '''''oo''''' in s'''''oo'''''n ===Consonants=== ;b :as in '''''b'''''ee ;k :as in '''''k'''''ey ;d :as in '''''d'''''ough ;g :as in '''''g'''''old ;h :as in '''''h'''''eat ;l :as in '''''l'''''et ;m :as in '''''m'''''e ;n :as in '''''n'''''ice ;ng :as in so'''''ng''''' ;p :as in '''''p'''''ea ;r :as in '''''r'''''aw ;s :as in '''''s'''''ea ;t :as in '''''t'''''ea ;w :as in '''''w'''''eak ;y :as in '''''y'''''ou ''Some consonants are borrowed from Spanish and English and are used in writing names of places and personal names''. ; c : like '''''c''''' in s'''''c'''''are (before '''''a''''', '''''o''''', '''''u''''') :like '''''c''''' in pen'''''c'''''il (before '''''e''''' or '''''i''''') ; f : like '''''f''''' in '''''f'''''ine ; j :like '''''h''''' in '''''h'''''am ;ll :although not a letter in the Philippines but of Spanish influence, pronounced as '''''ly''''' ; ñ : like '''''ny''''' in ca'''''ny'''''on ; q : like '''''q''''' in '''''q'''''uest (always with a silent '''''u''''') ; v : pronounced the same way as '''''b''''' (see above) like '''''b''''' in el'''''b'''''ow. ; x : like '''''x''''' in fle'''''x'''''ible :like '''''ss''''' in hi'''''ss''''' (at beginning of a word) :like '''''h''''' as in '''''h'''''e in the family name ''Roxas'' ; z : like '''''s''''' in '''''s'''''upper ===Digraphs === ''Some digraphs appear in Spanish loan words.'' ;'''dy''' :as in '''''j'''''ust ;'''ts''' :as in '''''ch'''''ew ;'''sy''' :as in '''''sh'''''oe ;'''ny''' :as in ca'''''ny'''''on ;ly :as in mi'''''lli'''''on ===Common diphthongs=== ''In the spelling of many places and personal names, '''''ao''''' is used and is pronounced as in h'''''ow''''' just like the Spanish way of spelling''. ;aw :as in h'''''ow''''' ;iw :as in k'''''iw'''''i ;ay :as in h'''''igh''''' ;oy :as in b'''''oy''''' ==Grammar== ===Personal pronouns=== '''Inclusivity''' Note that Bicol has two words which are equivalent to the English word ''we''. If you intend to include the person or people you are talking to, the word to use is <u>kitá</u>. If the subject does not include your listener(s), then the correct word would be <u>kamí</u>. ===Negation=== ''Use'' <u>dài</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>no</u> ''and'' <u>bakô</u> ''to'' ''mean'' <u>not</u>.

''Never'' ''say'' <u>dàing lumóy</u>, ''instead'' ''say'', <u>bakóng malumóy</u>. ===Singular and plural verbs=== '''Note''' To form the plural verbs in Bicol, the syllables "ra","ri", "ro", and/or "ru", were added at the middle of the root word depending on the first syllable it follows. ;The child is playing. :Nagkakáwat an akì. ;The children are playing. :Nagkakaráwat an mga akì. ;The man is sitting. :Nagtutúkaw an lalaki. ;The men are sitting. :Nagtuturúkaw an mga lalaki. ;The dog is barking. :Nagbabatók an áyam/idò. ;The dogs are barking. :Nagbabaratók an mga áyam/idò. ;He/She bought an ice cream. :Nagbakál siya nin ice cream.

The town has an interesting mix of islanders, ex-pats and backpackers and is the most developed in the region. The town boasts an abundance of restaurants, hotels and bars. Bocas has developed a reputation for being a party town with a number of bars and clubs that sit on the stilts over the water. ==Understand== [[File:Bocas2.jpg|thumb|Bocas town on ''Isla Colón'' ]] Bocas Town is on the southern tip of ''Isla Colón'' and is part of the Bocas del Toro archipelago of islands. Further afield on the island of Colón, are a number of white sand beaches and nature reserves. Bocas also makes a good base for doing tours around the other islands. Other islands accessible by water taxi from Bocas Town include [[Carenero]], [[Bastimentos]], [[Isla Cristóbal|Cristóbal]], and [[Solarte]]. ===Climate=== {{Climate| |janhigh = 30.8 |janlow = 20.4 |janprecip = 123.9 |febhigh = 30.7 |feblow = 20.2 |febprecip = 266.1 |marhigh = 31 |marlow = 20.5 |marprecip = 83.8 |aprhigh = 31.4 |aprlow = 21.4 |aprprecip = 369.1 |mayhigh = 31.9 |maylow = 22.2 |mayprecip = 178.3 |junhigh = 32 |junlow = 22.2 |junprecip = 259 |julhigh = 31.5 |jullow = 21.7 |julprecip = 420.1 |aughigh = 31.8 |auglow = 21.8 |augprecip = 440.7 |sephigh = 31.9 |seplow = 22 |sepprecip = 311.2 |octhigh = 31.7 |octlow = 22 |octprecip = 150.5 |novhigh = 31.6 |novlow = 21.8 |novprecip = 291.7 |dechigh = 31 |declow = 20.6 |decprecip = 563.6 |description = Source: [[w:Bocas del Toro Province#Climate]] }} ==Get in== ===By plane=== There is a small airport on ''Isla Colón'' with several flights from [[Panama City]] and [[San José (Costa Rica)|San José]]. From Panama City, [http://www.flyairpanama.com/ AirPanama] flies to the island twice a day everyday (45 min). From San José International Airport [https://www.aerobell.com/ Aerobell Airlines], [http://www.sansacostarica.com/ Sansa] and [https://skywaycr.com/ Skyway Airlines] offer daily flights starting from US$99 each way plus US$26 international departure fee and $12 for a Panamanian entry stamp. ===By car=== It is possible to take your vehicle on the island using a car ferry. The ferry leaves [[Almirante]] port every morning at 08:00 Monday to Saturday (no service on Sundays). Cost per car is $15 and there is an extra $1 charge per passenger. The same ferry goes back to the mainland on the same days at 16:00. If you wish to leave your car on the mainland, there is a secure parking available next to where the water taxis leave in Almirante. Cost is $3 per day. ===By bus and boat=== The town is on Isla Colón and you'll need to take a boat to access it. Boats departs frequently from [[Almirante]]. There is no service anymore from [[Changuinola]]. Locals pay $4 for the boat each way (25 min). With some haggling even as a tourist you can manage to pay $5 and get a voucher to pay only $3 on the way back. There are three operators, all offering the same service. The one in the middle at the docks (Transporte Torres) is the most inexpensive one and open for bargaining. On return tell them you used them to come to Bocas and at Almirante they promised the return trip for $3 (or $4). But you can probably also try this argument with the other two companies. Prices without bargaining: 6$ 1way, 10$ return (2022/08) An alternative is to take the truck ferry which departs Almirante every day at 07:00 and 12:00. Pedestrian passage is $3, $3.50 for a bicycle and more for motorcycles or cars. Arrive early if you have a car. The ferry returns from Bocas at 10:00 and 15:00. From [[David (Panama)|David]] look for buses to Changuinola and ask a driver to stop in Almirante ($8.45, 4 hr). In Almirante, get off before the bus terminal at the turn, otherwise it is a very short walk to the docks (1–1.5 km). Many decide to take the taxi ($2), which is why they do not stop near the docks. Ignore the guys who want to walk you there as this will increase the price of your ticket to the island. From Changuinola the bus might stop near the dock ($1.45). ===By private shuttle=== From Boquete you can also take a private shuttle for the 4-hr journey to Almirante, and then the water taxi, which is included in the ticket price, to Bocas del Toro. Two companies in town offer the daily shuttle: Reservations are recommended ($30-35). From Boquete they leave at 08:00 from Hola Panama in the Mamallena Hostel, or 09:00 from the Transport Company in Plaza Los Establos on Main Street. There are a few other companies also offering private buses and shuttles to Bocas from many destinations including Puerto Viejo, Panama City, San Jose and others. To check pricing, schedules and availability, click the link: [https://www.caribeshuttle.com/ Caribe Shuttle]. ===By sailboat=== Bocas del Toro is a popular place for sailboats to stop and stay for awhile, with plenty of easy anchorage and a marina, and it is an authorized port of entry to Panama. If you are arriving from another country, immigration officials will come to your boat to do an inspection once you contact them upon arrival, and the crew is not supposed to leave the boat until this process is complete (though you are unlikely to be penalized if you make a mistake). If you do not have your own boat and cannot afford to charter one, it may be possible to find crew opportunities for boats coming here from elsewhere in Panama or the Caribbean. ===From Costa Rica=== From [[Sixaola]] in Costa Rica you get to pay a $7+1 exit fee and a $4 municipality fee to enter Panama. The border in Panama closes at 5PM local time. The Panamanian officials frequently ask for printed proof that you are going to leave the country again. If you can't provide any such documents you might be required to buy a $14 ticket to San José. From the border there are $10 shuttles to [[Almirante]], or you can take a bus to Changuinola ($1, 15 min) and from there a mini bus to [[Almirante]] ($1.45, 40 min). ==Get around== [[File:La Amistad Panama Biosphere Reserve - Bocas del Toro Province 10.jpg|thumb|Water taxis in Bocas del Toro]] Bocas town is small enough to walk all over. If you need a ride, cabs are plentiful and usually only cost 60 cents or so to get around town. ===By water taxi=== Not necessary for getting around the town itself, but water taxis are the main means of transport to other islands or farther-flung beaches. Fares are always charged per person, not per group, and start at $1 (from the Bocas Town waterfront to Aqua Lounge on nearby [[Carenero Island]]). Agree on the price beforehand. You can also pay before getting in if you want to make sure to get your change. ===By rental=== Bicycle rentals run approximately $2/hr or $10/day. There is a guy opposite the market downtown renting cruisers for $6/day, you will pay more for a mountain bike or one with electric pedal assist from the bigger hostels. The roads are flat and in good repair inside town. Cycling to Playa Bluff will require crossing some sandy areas, but nothing too challenging. Cycling to Boca del Drago takes about an hour over the hilly, sometimes-gravel road through the jungle. Scooters can also be rented, for approximately $70/day. ATV are also available and popular. ===By bus=== There are two bus companies that provide service between Bocas town and Drago beach (for the starfish). They run every full hour for $2.50. If you get off a little earlier, it is $1 less (see the price sign in the bus). In case you stay along Bluff or at Skullys, entering later than the town they still demand $2.50. If you are confident, you can argue with them. At least on the way back, you can refer to the price sign. ==See== ===Beaches=== * '''El Istmito''' * '''Big Creek''' * '''Bluff Beach''' – There are several hotels/restaurants in middle.

The town has an interesting mix of islanders, ex-pats and backpackers and is the most developed in the region. The town boasts an abundance of restaurants, hotels and bars. Bocas has developed a reputation for being a party town with a number of bars and clubs that sit on the stilts over the water. ==Understand== [[File:Bocas2.jpg|thumb|Bocas town on ''Isla Colón'' ]] Bocas Town is on the southern tip of ''Isla Colón'' and is part of the Bocas del Toro archipelago of islands. Further afield on the island of Colón, are a number of white sand beaches and nature reserves. Bocas also makes a good base for doing tours around the other islands. Other islands accessible by water taxi from Bocas Town include [[Carenero]], [[Bastimentos]], [[Isla Cristóbal|Cristóbal]], and [[Solarte]]. ===Climate=== {{Climate| |janhigh = 30.8 |janlow = 20.4 |janprecip = 123.9 |febhigh = 30.7 |feblow = 20.2 |febprecip = 266.1 |marhigh = 31 |marlow = 20.5 |marprecip = 83.8 |aprhigh = 31.4 |aprlow = 21.4 |aprprecip = 369.1 |mayhigh = 31.9 |maylow = 22.2 |mayprecip = 178.3 |junhigh = 32 |junlow = 22.2 |junprecip = 259 |julhigh = 31.5 |jullow = 21.7 |julprecip = 420.1 |aughigh = 31.8 |auglow = 21.8 |augprecip = 440.7 |sephigh = 31.9 |seplow = 22 |sepprecip = 311.2 |octhigh = 31.7 |octlow = 22 |octprecip = 150.5 |novhigh = 31.6 |novlow = 21.8 |novprecip = 291.7 |dechigh = 31 |declow = 20.6 |decprecip = 563.6 |description = Source: [[w:Bocas del Toro Province#Climate]] }} ==Get in== ===By plane=== There is a small airport on ''Isla Colón'' with several flights from [[Panama City]] and [[San José (Costa Rica)|San José]]. From Panama City, [http://www.flyairpanama.com/ AirPanama] flies to the island twice a day everyday (45 min). From San José International Airport [https://www.aerobell.com/ Aerobell Airlines], [http://www.sansacostarica.com/ Sansa] and [https://skywaycr.com/ Skyway Airlines] offer daily flights starting from US$99 each way plus US$26 international departure fee and $12 for a Panamanian entry stamp. ===By car=== It is possible to take your vehicle on the island using a car ferry. The ferry leaves [[Almirante]] port every morning at 08:00 Monday to Saturday (no service on Sundays). Cost per car is $15 and there is an extra $1 charge per passenger. The same ferry goes back to the mainland on the same days at 16:00. If you wish to leave your car on the mainland, there is a secure parking available next to where the water taxis leave in Almirante. Cost is $3 per day. ===By bus and boat=== The town is on Isla Colón and you'll need to take a boat to access it. Boats departs frequently from [[Almirante]]. There is no service anymore from [[Changuinola]]. Locals pay $4 for the boat each way (25 min). With some haggling even as a tourist you can manage to pay $5 and get a voucher to pay only $3 on the way back. There are three operators, all offering the same service. The one in the middle at the docks (Transporte Torres) is the most inexpensive one and open for bargaining. On return tell them you used them to come to Bocas and at Almirante they promised the return trip for $3 (or $4). But you can probably also try this argument with the other two companies. Prices without bargaining: 6$ 1way, 10$ return (2022/08) An alternative is to take the truck ferry which departs Almirante every day at 07:00 and 12:00. Pedestrian passage is $3, $3.50 for a bicycle and more for motorcycles or cars. Arrive early if you have a car. The ferry returns from Bocas at 10:00 and 15:00. From [[David (Panama)|David]] look for buses to Changuinola and ask a driver to stop in Almirante ($8.45, 4 hr). In Almirante, get off before the bus terminal at the turn, otherwise it is a very short walk to the docks (1–1.5 km). Many decide to take the taxi ($2), which is why they do not stop near the docks. Ignore the guys who want to walk you there as this will increase the price of your ticket to the island. From Changuinola the bus might stop near the dock ($1.45). ===By private shuttle=== From Boquete you can also take a private shuttle for the 4-hr journey to Almirante, and then the water taxi, which is included in the ticket price, to Bocas del Toro. Two companies in town offer the daily shuttle: Reservations are recommended ($30-35). From Boquete they leave at 08:00 from Hola Panama in the Mamallena Hostel, or 09:00 from the Transport Company in Plaza Los Establos on Main Street. There are a few other companies also offering private buses and shuttles to Bocas from many destinations including Puerto Viejo, Panama City, San Jose and others. To check pricing, schedules and availability, click the link: [https://www.caribeshuttle.com/ Caribe Shuttle]. ===By sailboat=== Bocas del Toro is a popular place for sailboats to stop and stay for awhile, with plenty of easy anchorage and a marina, and it is an authorized port of entry to Panama. If you are arriving from another country, immigration officials will come to your boat to do an inspection once you contact them upon arrival, and the crew is not supposed to leave the boat until this process is complete (though you are unlikely to be penalized if you make a mistake). If you do not have your own boat and cannot afford to charter one, it may be possible to find crew opportunities for boats coming here from elsewhere in Panama or the Caribbean. ===From Costa Rica=== From [[Sixaola]] in Costa Rica you get to pay a $7+1 exit fee and a $4 municipality fee to enter Panama. The border in Panama closes at 5PM local time. The Panamanian officials frequently ask for printed proof that you are going to leave the country again. If you can't provide any such documents you might be required to buy a $14 ticket to San José. From the border there are $10 shuttles to [[Almirante]], or you can take a bus to Changuinola ($1, 15 min) and from there a mini bus to [[Almirante]] ($1.45, 40 min). ==Get around== [[File:La Amistad Panama Biosphere Reserve - Bocas del Toro Province 10.jpg|thumb|Water taxis in Bocas del Toro]] Bocas town is small enough to walk all over.

The town has an interesting mix of islanders, ex-pats and backpackers and is the most developed in the region. The town boasts an abundance of restaurants, hotels and bars. Bocas has developed a reputation for being a party town with a number of bars and clubs that sit on the stilts over the water. ==Understand== [[File:Bocas2.jpg|thumb|Bocas town on ''Isla Colón'' ]] Bocas Town is on the southern tip of ''Isla Colón'' and is part of the Bocas del Toro archipelago of islands. Further afield on the island of Colón, are a number of white sand beaches and nature reserves. Bocas also makes a good base for doing tours around the other islands. Other islands accessible by water taxi from Bocas Town include [[Carenero]], [[Bastimentos]], [[Isla Cristóbal|Cristóbal]], and [[Solarte]]. ===Climate=== {{Climate| |janhigh = 30.8 |janlow = 20.4 |janprecip = 123.9 |febhigh = 30.7 |feblow = 20.2 |febprecip = 266.1 |marhigh = 31 |marlow = 20.5 |marprecip = 83.8 |aprhigh = 31.4 |aprlow = 21.4 |aprprecip = 369.1 |mayhigh = 31.9 |maylow = 22.2 |mayprecip = 178.3 |junhigh = 32 |junlow = 22.2 |junprecip = 259 |julhigh = 31.5 |jullow = 21.7 |julprecip = 420.1 |aughigh = 31.8 |auglow = 21.8 |augprecip = 440.7 |sephigh = 31.9 |seplow = 22 |sepprecip = 311.2 |octhigh = 31.7 |octlow = 22 |octprecip = 150.5 |novhigh = 31.6 |novlow = 21.8 |novprecip = 291.7 |dechigh = 31 |declow = 20.6 |decprecip = 563.6 |description = Source: [[w:Bocas del Toro Province#Climate]] }} ==Get in== ===By plane=== There is a small airport on ''Isla Colón'' with several flights from [[Panama City]] and [[San José (Costa Rica)|San José]]. From Panama City, [http://www.flyairpanama.com/ AirPanama] flies to the island twice a day everyday (45 min). From San José International Airport [https://www.aerobell.com/ Aerobell Airlines], [http://www.sansacostarica.com/ Sansa] and [https://skywaycr.com/ Skyway Airlines] offer daily flights starting from US$99 each way plus US$26 international departure fee and $12 for a Panamanian entry stamp. ===By car=== It is possible to take your vehicle on the island using a car ferry. The ferry leaves [[Almirante]] port every morning at 08:00 Monday to Saturday (no service on Sundays). Cost per car is $15 and there is an extra $1 charge per passenger. The same ferry goes back to the mainland on the same days at 16:00. If you wish to leave your car on the mainland, there is a secure parking available next to where the water taxis leave in Almirante. Cost is $3 per day. ===By bus and boat=== The town is on Isla Colón and you'll need to take a boat to access it. Boats departs frequently from [[Almirante]]. There is no service anymore from [[Changuinola]]. Locals pay $4 for the boat each way (25 min). With some haggling even as a tourist you can manage to pay $5 and get a voucher to pay only $3 on the way back. There are three operators, all offering the same service. The one in the middle at the docks (Transporte Torres) is the most inexpensive one and open for bargaining. On return tell them you used them to come to Bocas and at Almirante they promised the return trip for $3 (or $4). But you can probably also try this argument with the other two companies. Prices without bargaining: 6$ 1way, 10$ return (2022/08) An alternative is to take the truck ferry which departs Almirante every day at 07:00 and 12:00. Pedestrian passage is $3, $3.50 for a bicycle and more for motorcycles or cars. Arrive early if you have a car. The ferry returns from Bocas at 10:00 and 15:00. From [[David (Panama)|David]] look for buses to Changuinola and ask a driver to stop in Almirante ($8.45, 4 hr). In Almirante, get off before the bus terminal at the turn, otherwise it is a very short walk to the docks (1–1.5 km). Many decide to take the taxi ($2), which is why they do not stop near the docks. Ignore the guys who want to walk you there as this will increase the price of your ticket to the island. From Changuinola the bus might stop near the dock ($1.45). ===By private shuttle=== From Boquete you can also take a private shuttle for the 4-hr journey to Almirante, and then the water taxi, which is included in the ticket price, to Bocas del Toro. Two companies in town offer the daily shuttle: Reservations are recommended ($30-35). From Boquete they leave at 08:00 from Hola Panama in the Mamallena Hostel, or 09:00 from the Transport Company in Plaza Los Establos on Main Street. There are a few other companies also offering private buses and shuttles to Bocas from many destinations including Puerto Viejo, Panama City, San Jose and others. To check pricing, schedules and availability, click the link: [https://www.caribeshuttle.com/ Caribe Shuttle]. ===By sailboat=== Bocas del Toro is a popular place for sailboats to stop and stay for awhile, with plenty of easy anchorage and a marina, and it is an authorized port of entry to Panama. If you are arriving from another country, immigration officials will come to your boat to do an inspection once you contact them upon arrival, and the crew is not supposed to leave the boat until this process is complete (though you are unlikely to be penalized if you make a mistake). If you do not have your own boat and cannot afford to charter one, it may be possible to find crew opportunities for boats coming here from elsewhere in Panama or the Caribbean. ===From Costa Rica=== From [[Sixaola]] in Costa Rica you get to pay a $7+1 exit fee and a $4 municipality fee to enter Panama. The border in Panama closes at 5PM local time. The Panamanian officials frequently ask for printed proof that you are going to leave the country again. If you can't provide any such documents you might be required to buy a $14 ticket to San José. From the border there are $10 shuttles to [[Almirante]], or you can take a bus to Changuinola ($1, 15 min) and from there a mini bus to [[Almirante]] ($1.45, 40 min). ==Get around== [[File:La Amistad Panama Biosphere Reserve - Bocas del Toro Province 10.jpg|thumb|Water taxis in Bocas del Toro]] Bocas town is small enough to walk all over. If you need a ride, cabs are plentiful and usually only cost 60 cents or so to get around town. ===By water taxi=== Not necessary for getting around the town itself, but water taxis are the main means of transport to other islands or farther-flung beaches. Fares are always charged per person, not per group, and start at $1 (from the Bocas Town waterfront to Aqua Lounge on nearby [[Carenero Island]]). Agree on the price beforehand. You can also pay before getting in if you want to make sure to get your change. ===By rental=== Bicycle rentals run approximately $2/hr or $10/day. There is a guy opposite the market downtown renting cruisers for $6/day, you will pay more for a mountain bike or one with electric pedal assist from the bigger hostels. The roads are flat and in good repair inside town. Cycling to Playa Bluff will require crossing some sandy areas, but nothing too challenging. Cycling to Boca del Drago takes about an hour over the hilly, sometimes-gravel road through the jungle. Scooters can also be rented, for approximately $70/day. ATV are also available and popular. ===By bus=== There are two bus companies that provide service between Bocas town and Drago beach (for the starfish). They run every full hour for $3.50 (2022/08). If you get off a little earlier, it is $1 less (see the price sign in the bus). In case you stay along Bluff or at Skullys, entering later than the town they still demand $2.50. If you are confident, you can argue with them. At least on the way back, you can refer to the price sign. ==See== ===Beaches=== * '''El Istmito''' * '''Big Creek''' * '''Bluff Beach''' – There are several hotels/restaurants in middle. Swimming can difficult but come here for unspoilt sometimes private feeling beach. Surfing is popular. About $15 taxi from town. Otherwise take the bus to the junction towards Drago ($0.50) and walk the rest. * '''Starfish Beach''' – Take the hourly bus to Drago (45 min) and walk another 1.5-2 km from there (20 min). * '''Mimitimbi Beach''' ===Ecotourism=== * '''[https://stri.si.edu/visit/bocas-del-toro Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Tropical Research Station]''' &ndash; A world-class marine science research station, offering free guided tours Thursday and Friday afternoons. Located a bit outside of town. * '''Finca los Monos''' &ndash; A private botanical garden, also just outside of town, known for its good birding and good chances to see wild monkeys and sloths. $25 admission. * '''Sloths''' &ndash; Wild three-toed sloths can be seen anywhere in the Bocas del Toro archipelago if you're lucky, but tours offer visits to "sloth islands" where your odds are supposedly better. Package tours that only include a boat ride past the islands are unlikely to result in sightings, but more focused tours that land on the islands are more likely to be worthwhile. * '''Dolphins''' &ndash; There is a lagoon a few miles away from Bocas Town with a resident population of wild dolphins. Many day tours of the islands include stops here, and it's also possible to take a water taxi. ==Do== * {{listing | type=do | name=Scuba Diving | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price=About $60/two tanks, all equipment included.

Privately owned horses can vary from Quarter Horse to a mix of Columbian or Peruvian Paso. By breeding the two, you get a larger horse, than the traditional Paso Fino, with the smooth and lovely gait of the Paso. A great area for riding are the beaches of Bocas del Toro near Dolphin Bay'. }} * {{listing | type=do | name=Starfish Beach | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=9.40417 | long=-82.32695 | directions=take a bus to Drago and walk another 20 min from there: follow the people | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit=2019-03-11 | content=Although very touristy, go here for seeing starfish.

The town has an interesting mix of islanders, ex-pats and backpackers and is the most developed in the region. The town boasts an abundance of restaurants, hotels and bars. Bocas has developed a reputation for being a party town with a number of bars and clubs that sit on the stilts over the water. ==Understand== [[File:Bocas2.jpg|thumb|Bocas town on ''Isla Colón'' ]] Bocas Town is on the southern tip of ''Isla Colón'' and is part of the Bocas del Toro archipelago of islands. Further afield on the island of Colón, are a number of white sand beaches and nature reserves. Bocas also makes a good base for doing tours around the other islands. Other islands accessible by water taxi from Bocas Town include [[Carenero]], [[Bastimentos]], [[Isla Cristóbal|Cristóbal]], and [[Solarte]]. ===Climate=== {{Climate| |janhigh = 30.8 |janlow = 20.4 |janprecip = 123.9 |febhigh = 30.7 |feblow = 20.2 |febprecip = 266.1 |marhigh = 31 |marlow = 20.5 |marprecip = 83.8 |aprhigh = 31.4 |aprlow = 21.4 |aprprecip = 369.1 |mayhigh = 31.9 |maylow = 22.2 |mayprecip = 178.3 |junhigh = 32 |junlow = 22.2 |junprecip = 259 |julhigh = 31.5 |jullow = 21.7 |julprecip = 420.1 |aughigh = 31.8 |auglow = 21.8 |augprecip = 440.7 |sephigh = 31.9 |seplow = 22 |sepprecip = 311.2 |octhigh = 31.7 |octlow = 22 |octprecip = 150.5 |novhigh = 31.6 |novlow = 21.8 |novprecip = 291.7 |dechigh = 31 |declow = 20.6 |decprecip = 563.6 |description = Source: [[w:Bocas del Toro Province#Climate]] }} ==Get in== ===By plane=== There is a small airport on ''Isla Colón'' with several flights from [[Panama City]] and [[San José (Costa Rica)|San José]]. From Panama City, [http://www.flyairpanama.com/ AirPanama] flies to the island twice a day everyday (45 min). From San José International Airport [https://www.aerobell.com/ Aerobell Airlines], [http://www.sansacostarica.com/ Sansa] and [https://skywaycr.com/ Skyway Airlines] offer daily flights starting from US$99 each way plus US$26 international departure fee and $12 for a Panamanian entry stamp. ===By car=== It is possible to take your vehicle on the island using a car ferry. The ferry leaves [[Almirante]] port every morning at 08:00 Monday to Saturday (no service on Sundays). Cost per car is $15 and there is an extra $1 charge per passenger. The same ferry goes back to the mainland on the same days at 16:00. If you wish to leave your car on the mainland, there is a secure parking available next to where the water taxis leave in Almirante. Cost is $3 per day. ===By bus and boat=== The town is on Isla Colón and you'll need to take a boat to access it. Boats departs frequently from [[Almirante]]. There is no service anymore from [[Changuinola]]. Locals pay $4 for the boat each way (25 min). With some haggling even as a tourist you can manage to pay $5 and get a voucher to pay only $3 on the way back. There are three operators, all offering the same service. The one in the middle at the docks (Transporte Torres) is the most inexpensive one and open for bargaining. On return tell them you used them to come to Bocas and at Almirante they promised the return trip for $3 (or $4). But you can probably also try this argument with the other two companies. Prices without bargaining: 6$ 1way, 10$ return (2022/08) An alternative is to take the truck ferry which departs Almirante every day at 07:00 and 12:00. Pedestrian passage is $3, $3.50 for a bicycle and more for motorcycles or cars. Arrive early if you have a car. The ferry returns from Bocas at 10:00 and 15:00. From [[David (Panama)|David]] look for buses to Changuinola and ask a driver to stop in Almirante ($8.45, 4 hr). In Almirante, get off before the bus terminal at the turn, otherwise it is a very short walk to the docks (1–1.5 km). Many decide to take the taxi ($2), which is why they do not stop near the docks. Ignore the guys who want to walk you there as this will increase the price of your ticket to the island. From Changuinola the bus might stop near the dock ($1.45). From Panamá City are two busses: 7am and 8pm ($27.5) (2022/08) ===By private shuttle=== From Boquete you can also take a private shuttle for the 4-hr journey to Almirante, and then the water taxi, which is included in the ticket price, to Bocas del Toro. Two companies in town offer the daily shuttle: Reservations are recommended ($30-35). From Boquete they leave at 08:00 from Hola Panama in the Mamallena Hostel, or 09:00 from the Transport Company in Plaza Los Establos on Main Street. There are a few other companies also offering private buses and shuttles to Bocas from many destinations including Puerto Viejo, Panama City, San Jose and others. To check pricing, schedules and availability, click the link: [https://www.caribeshuttle.com/ Caribe Shuttle]. ===By sailboat=== Bocas del Toro is a popular place for sailboats to stop and stay for awhile, with plenty of easy anchorage and a marina, and it is an authorized port of entry to Panama. If you are arriving from another country, immigration officials will come to your boat to do an inspection once you contact them upon arrival, and the crew is not supposed to leave the boat until this process is complete (though you are unlikely to be penalized if you make a mistake). If you do not have your own boat and cannot afford to charter one, it may be possible to find crew opportunities for boats coming here from elsewhere in Panama or the Caribbean. ===From Costa Rica=== From [[Sixaola]] in Costa Rica you get to pay a $7+1 exit fee and a $4 municipality fee to enter Panama. The border in Panama closes at 5PM local time. The Panamanian officials frequently ask for printed proof that you are going to leave the country again. If you can't provide any such documents you might be required to buy a $14 ticket to San José. From the border there are $10 shuttles to [[Almirante]], or you can take a bus to Changuinola ($1, 15 min) and from there a mini bus to [[Almirante]] ($1.45, 40 min). ==Get around== [[File:La Amistad Panama Biosphere Reserve - Bocas del Toro Province 10.jpg|thumb|Water taxis in Bocas del Toro]] Bocas town is small enough to walk all over. If you need a ride, cabs are plentiful and usually only cost 60 cents or so to get around town. ===By water taxi=== Not necessary for getting around the town itself, but water taxis are the main means of transport to other islands or farther-flung beaches. Fares are always charged per person, not per group, and start at $1 (from the Bocas Town waterfront to Aqua Lounge on nearby [[Carenero Island]]). Agree on the price beforehand. You can also pay before getting in if you want to make sure to get your change. ===By rental=== Bicycle rentals run approximately $2/hr or $10/day. There is a guy opposite the market downtown renting cruisers for $6/day, you will pay more for a mountain bike or one with electric pedal assist from the bigger hostels. The roads are flat and in good repair inside town. Cycling to Playa Bluff will require crossing some sandy areas, but nothing too challenging. Cycling to Boca del Drago takes about an hour over the hilly, sometimes-gravel road through the jungle. Scooters can also be rented, for approximately $70/day. ATV are also available and popular. ===By bus=== There are two bus companies that provide service between Bocas town and Drago beach (for the starfish). They run every full hour for $3.50 (2022/08). If you get off a little earlier, it is $1 less (see the price sign in the bus). In case you stay along Bluff or at Skullys, entering later than the town they still demand $2.50. If you are confident, you can argue with them. At least on the way back, you can refer to the price sign. ==See== ===Beaches=== * '''El Istmito''' * '''Big Creek''' * '''Bluff Beach''' – There are several hotels/restaurants in middle. Swimming can difficult but come here for unspoilt sometimes private feeling beach. Surfing is popular. About $15 taxi from town. Otherwise take the bus to the junction towards Drago ($0.50) and walk the rest. * '''Starfish Beach''' – Take the hourly bus to Drago (45 min) and walk another 1.5-2 km from there (20 min). * '''Mimitimbi Beach''' ===Ecotourism=== * '''[https://stri.si.edu/visit/bocas-del-toro Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Tropical Research Station]''' &ndash; A world-class marine science research station, offering free guided tours Thursday and Friday afternoons. Located a bit outside of town. * '''Finca los Monos''' &ndash; A private botanical garden, also just outside of town, known for its good birding and good chances to see wild monkeys and sloths. $25 admission. * '''Sloths''' &ndash; Wild three-toed sloths can be seen anywhere in the Bocas del Toro archipelago if you're lucky, but tours offer visits to "sloth islands" where your odds are supposedly better. Package tours that only include a boat ride past the islands are unlikely to result in sightings, but more focused tours that land on the islands are more likely to be worthwhile. * '''Dolphins''' &ndash; There is a lagoon a few miles away from Bocas Town with a resident population of wild dolphins. Many day tours of the islands include stops here, and it's also possible to take a water taxi. ==Do== * {{listing | type=do | name=Scuba Diving | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price=About $60/two tanks, all equipment included.

Privately owned horses can vary from Quarter Horse to a mix of Columbian or Peruvian Paso. By breeding the two, you get a larger horse, than the traditional Paso Fino, with the smooth and lovely gait of the Paso. A great area for riding are the beaches of Bocas del Toro near Dolphin Bay'. }} * {{listing | type=do | name=Starfish Beach | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=9.40417 | long=-82.32695 | directions=take a bus to Drago and walk another 20 min from there: follow the people | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit=2019-03-11 | content=Although very touristy, go here for seeing starfish.

With all this and attentive staff, Bongo's Cafe is a real gem. }} ==Drink== There quite a few bars in Bocas Town, and all the restaurants serve beer as well.

From Panamá City are two busses: 7am and 8pm ($27.5) (2022/08) ===By private shuttle=== From Boquete you can also take a private shuttle for the 4-hr journey to Almirante, and then the water taxi, which is included in the ticket price, to Bocas del Toro. Two companies in town offer the daily shuttle: Reservations are recommended ($30-35). From Boquete they leave at 08:00 from Hola Panama in the Mamallena Hostel, or 09:00 from the Transport Company in Plaza Los Establos on Main Street. There are a few other companies also offering private buses and shuttles to Bocas from many destinations including Puerto Viejo, Panama City, San Jose and others. To check pricing, schedules and availability, click the link: [https://www.caribeshuttle.com/ Caribe Shuttle]. ===By sailboat=== Bocas del Toro is a popular place for sailboats to stop and stay for awhile, with plenty of easy anchorage and a marina, and it is an authorized port of entry to Panama. If you are arriving from another country, immigration officials will come to your boat to do an inspection once you contact them upon arrival, and the crew is not supposed to leave the boat until this process is complete (though you are unlikely to be penalized if you make a mistake). If you do not have your own boat and cannot afford to charter one, it may be possible to find crew opportunities for boats coming here from elsewhere in Panama or the Caribbean. ===From Costa Rica=== From [[Sixaola]] in Costa Rica you get to pay a $7+1 exit fee and a $4 municipality fee to enter Panama. The border in Panama closes at 5PM local time. The Panamanian officials frequently ask for printed proof that you are going to leave the country again. If you can't provide any such documents you might be required to buy a $14 ticket to San José. From the border there are $10 shuttles to [[Almirante]], or you can take a bus to Changuinola ($1, 15 min) and from there a mini bus to [[Almirante]] ($1.45, 40 min). ==Get around== [[File:La Amistad Panama Biosphere Reserve - Bocas del Toro Province 10.jpg|thumb|Water taxis in Bocas del Toro]] Bocas town is small enough to walk all over. If you need a ride, cabs are plentiful and usually only cost 60 cents or so to get around town. ===By water taxi=== Not necessary for getting around the town itself, but water taxis are the main means of transport to other islands or farther-flung beaches. Fares are always charged per person, not per group, and start at $1 (from the Bocas Town waterfront to Aqua Lounge on nearby [[Carenero Island]]). Agree on the price beforehand. You can also pay before getting in if you want to make sure to get your change. ===By rental=== Bicycle rentals run approximately $2/hr or $10/day. There is a guy opposite the market downtown renting cruisers for $6/day, you will pay more for a mountain bike or one with electric pedal assist from the bigger hostels. The roads are flat and in good repair inside town. Cycling to Playa Bluff will require crossing some sandy areas, but nothing too challenging. Cycling to Boca del Drago takes about an hour over the hilly, sometimes-gravel road through the jungle. Scooters can also be rented, for approximately $70/day. ATV are also available and popular. ===By bus=== There are two bus companies that provide service between Bocas town and Drago beach (for the starfish). They run every full hour for $3.50 (2022/08). If you get off a little earlier, it is $1 less (see the price sign in the bus). In case you stay along Bluff or at Skullys, entering later than the town they still demand $2.50. If you are confident, you can argue with them. At least on the way back, you can refer to the price sign. ==See== ===Beaches=== * '''El Istmito''' * '''Big Creek''' * '''Bluff Beach''' – There are several hotels/restaurants in middle.

The town has an interesting mix of islanders, ex-pats and backpackers and is the most developed in the region. The town boasts an abundance of restaurants, hotels and bars. Bocas has developed a reputation for being a party town with a number of bars and clubs that sit on the stilts over the water. ==Understand== [[File:Bocas2.jpg|thumb|Bocas town on ''Isla Colón'' ]] Bocas Town is on the southern tip of ''Isla Colón'' and is part of the Bocas del Toro archipelago of islands. Further afield on the island of Colón, are a number of white sand beaches and nature reserves. Bocas also makes a good base for doing tours around the other islands. Other islands accessible by water taxi from Bocas Town include [[Carenero]], [[Bastimentos]], [[Isla Cristóbal|Cristóbal]], and [[Solarte]]. ===Climate=== {{Climate| |janhigh = 30.8 |janlow = 20.4 |janprecip = 123.9 |febhigh = 30.7 |feblow = 20.2 |febprecip = 266.1 |marhigh = 31 |marlow = 20.5 |marprecip = 83.8 |aprhigh = 31.4 |aprlow = 21.4 |aprprecip = 369.1 |mayhigh = 31.9 |maylow = 22.2 |mayprecip = 178.3 |junhigh = 32 |junlow = 22.2 |junprecip = 259 |julhigh = 31.5 |jullow = 21.7 |julprecip = 420.1 |aughigh = 31.8 |auglow = 21.8 |augprecip = 440.7 |sephigh = 31.9 |seplow = 22 |sepprecip = 311.2 |octhigh = 31.7 |octlow = 22 |octprecip = 150.5 |novhigh = 31.6 |novlow = 21.8 |novprecip = 291.7 |dechigh = 31 |declow = 20.6 |decprecip = 563.6 |description = Source: [[w:Bocas del Toro Province#Climate]] }} ==Get in== ===By plane=== There is a small airport on ''Isla Colón'' with several flights from [[Panama City]] and [[San José (Costa Rica)|San José]]. From Panama City, [http://www.flyairpanama.com/ AirPanama] flies to the island twice a day everyday (45 min). From San José International Airport [https://www.aerobell.com/ Aerobell Airlines], [http://www.sansacostarica.com/ Sansa] and [https://skywaycr.com/ Skyway Airlines] offer daily flights starting from US$99 each way plus US$26 international departure fee and $12 for a Panamanian entry stamp. ===By car=== It is possible to take your vehicle on the island using a car ferry. The ferry leaves [[Almirante]] port every morning at 08:00 Monday to Saturday (no service on Sundays). Cost per car is $15 and there is an extra $1 charge per passenger. The same ferry goes back to the mainland on the same days at 16:00. If you wish to leave your car on the mainland, there is a secure parking available next to where the water taxis leave in Almirante. Cost is $3 per day. ===By bus and boat=== The town is on Isla Colón and you'll need to take a boat to access it. Boats departs frequently from [[Almirante]]. There is no service anymore from [[Changuinola]]. Locals pay $4 for the boat each way (25 min). With some haggling even as a tourist you can manage to pay $5 and get a voucher to pay only $3 on the way back. There are three operators, all offering the same service. The one in the middle at the docks (Transporte Torres) is the most inexpensive one and open for bargaining. On return tell them you used them to come to Bocas and at Almirante they promised the return trip for $3 (or $4). But you can probably also try this argument with the other two companies. Prices without bargaining: $6 one-way, $10 round trip (2022/08). An alternative is to take the truck ferry which departs Almirante every day at 07:00 and 12:00. Pedestrian passage is $3, $3.50 for a bicycle and more for motorcycles or cars. Arrive early if you have a car. The ferry returns from Bocas at 10:00 and 15:00. From [[David (Panama)|David]] look for buses to Changuinola and ask a driver to stop in Almirante ($8.45, 4 hr). In Almirante, get off before the bus terminal at the turn, otherwise it is a very short walk to the docks (1–1.5 km). Many decide to take the taxi ($2), which is why they do not stop near the docks. Ignore the guys who want to walk you there as this will increase the price of your ticket to the island. From Changuinola the bus might stop near the dock ($1.45).

The town has an interesting mix of islanders, ex-pats and backpackers and is the most developed in the region. The town boasts an abundance of restaurants, hotels and bars. Bocas has developed a reputation for being a party town with a number of bars and clubs that sit on the stilts over the water. ==Understand== [[File:Bocas2.jpg|thumb|Bocas town on ''Isla Colón'' ]] Bocas Town is on the southern tip of ''Isla Colón'' and is part of the Bocas del Toro archipelago of islands. Further afield on the island of Colón, are a number of white sand beaches and nature reserves. Bocas also makes a good base for doing tours around the other islands. Other islands accessible by water taxi from Bocas Town include [[Carenero]], [[Bastimentos]], [[Isla Cristóbal|Cristóbal]], and [[Solarte]]. ===Climate=== {{Climate| |janhigh = 30.8 |janlow = 20.4 |janprecip = 123.9 |febhigh = 30.7 |feblow = 20.2 |febprecip = 266.1 |marhigh = 31 |marlow = 20.5 |marprecip = 83.8 |aprhigh = 31.4 |aprlow = 21.4 |aprprecip = 369.1 |mayhigh = 31.9 |maylow = 22.2 |mayprecip = 178.3 |junhigh = 32 |junlow = 22.2 |junprecip = 259 |julhigh = 31.5 |jullow = 21.7 |julprecip = 420.1 |aughigh = 31.8 |auglow = 21.8 |augprecip = 440.7 |sephigh = 31.9 |seplow = 22 |sepprecip = 311.2 |octhigh = 31.7 |octlow = 22 |octprecip = 150.5 |novhigh = 31.6 |novlow = 21.8 |novprecip = 291.7 |dechigh = 31 |declow = 20.6 |decprecip = 563.6 |description = Source: [[w:Bocas del Toro Province#Climate]] }} ==Get in== ===By plane=== There is a small airport on ''Isla Colón'' with several flights from [[Panama City]] and [[San José (Costa Rica)|San José]]. From Panama City, [http://www.flyairpanama.com/ AirPanama] flies to the island twice a day everyday (45 min). From San José International Airport [https://www.aerobell.com/ Aerobell Airlines], [http://www.sansacostarica.com/ Sansa] and [https://skywaycr.com/ Skyway Airlines] offer daily flights starting from US$99 each way plus US$26 international departure fee and $12 for a Panamanian entry stamp. ===By car=== It is possible to take your vehicle on the island using a car ferry. The ferry leaves [[Almirante]] port every morning at 08:00 Monday to Saturday (no service on Sundays). Cost per car is $15 and there is an extra $1 charge per passenger. The same ferry goes back to the mainland on the same days at 16:00. If you wish to leave your car on the mainland, there is a secure parking available next to where the water taxis leave in Almirante. Cost is $3 per day. ===By bus and boat=== The town is on Isla Colón and you'll need to take a boat to access it. Boats departs frequently from [[Almirante]]. There is no service anymore from [[Changuinola]]. Locals pay $4 for the boat each way (25 min). With some haggling even as a tourist you can manage to pay $5 and get a voucher to pay only $3 on the way back. There are three operators, all offering the same service. The one in the middle at the docks (Transporte Torres) is the most inexpensive one and open for bargaining. On return tell them you used them to come to Bocas and at Almirante they promised the return trip for $3 (or $4). But you can probably also try this argument with the other two companies. Prices without bargaining: $6 one-way, $10 round trip (August 2022). An alternative is to take the truck ferry which departs Almirante every day at 07:00 and 12:00. Pedestrian passage is $3, $3.50 for a bicycle and more for motorcycles or cars. Arrive early if you have a car. The ferry returns from Bocas at 10:00 and 15:00. From [[David (Panama)|David]] look for buses to Changuinola and ask a driver to stop in Almirante ($8.45, 4 hr). In Almirante, get off before the bus terminal at the turn, otherwise it is a very short walk to the docks (1–1.5 km). Many decide to take the taxi ($2), which is why they do not stop near the docks. Ignore the guys who want to walk you there as this will increase the price of your ticket to the island. From Changuinola the bus might stop near the dock ($1.45). From Panamá City are two buses: 7AM and 8PM ($27.50) (August 2022) ===By private shuttle=== From Boquete you can also take a private shuttle for the 4-hr journey to Almirante, and then the water taxi, which is included in the ticket price, to Bocas del Toro. Two companies in town offer the daily shuttle: Reservations are recommended ($30-35). From Boquete they leave at 08:00 from Hola Panama in the Mamallena Hostel, or 09:00 from the Transport Company in Plaza Los Establos on Main Street. There are a few other companies also offering private buses and shuttles to Bocas from many destinations including Puerto Viejo, Panama City, San Jose and others. To check pricing, schedules and availability, click the link: [https://www.caribeshuttle.com/ Caribe Shuttle]. ===By sailboat=== Bocas del Toro is a popular place for sailboats to stop and stay for awhile, with plenty of easy anchorage and a marina, and it is an authorized port of entry to Panama. If you are arriving from another country, immigration officials will come to your boat to do an inspection once you contact them upon arrival, and the crew is not supposed to leave the boat until this process is complete (though you are unlikely to be penalized if you make a mistake). If you do not have your own boat and cannot afford to charter one, it may be possible to find crew opportunities for boats coming here from elsewhere in Panama or the Caribbean. ===From Costa Rica=== From [[Sixaola]] in Costa Rica you get to pay a $7+1 exit fee and a $4 municipality fee to enter Panama. The border in Panama closes at 5PM local time. The Panamanian officials frequently ask for printed proof that you are going to leave the country again. If you can't provide any such documents you might be required to buy a $14 ticket to San José. From the border there are $10 shuttles to [[Almirante]], or you can take a bus to Changuinola ($1, 15 min) and from there a mini bus to [[Almirante]] ($1.45, 40 min). ==Get around== [[File:La Amistad Panama Biosphere Reserve - Bocas del Toro Province 10.jpg|thumb|Water taxis in Bocas del Toro]] Bocas town is small enough to walk all over. If you need a ride, cabs are plentiful and usually only cost 60 cents or so to get around town. ===By water taxi=== Not necessary for getting around the town itself, but water taxis are the main means of transport to other islands or farther-flung beaches. Fares are always charged per person, not per group, and start at $1 (from the Bocas Town waterfront to Aqua Lounge on nearby [[Carenero Island]]). Agree on the price beforehand. You can also pay before getting in if you want to make sure to get your change. ===By rental=== Bicycle rentals run approximately $2/hr or $10/day. There is a guy opposite the market downtown renting cruisers for $6/day, you will pay more for a mountain bike or one with electric pedal assist from the bigger hostels. The roads are flat and in good repair inside town. Cycling to Playa Bluff will require crossing some sandy areas, but nothing too challenging. Cycling to Boca del Drago takes about an hour over the hilly, sometimes-gravel road through the jungle. Scooters can also be rented, for approximately $70/day. ATV are also available and popular. ===By bus=== There are two bus companies that provide service between Bocas town and Drago beach (for the starfish). They run every full hour for $3.50 (2022/08). If you get off a little earlier, it is $1 less (see the price sign in the bus). In case you stay along Bluff or at Skullys, entering later than the town they still demand $2.50. If you are confident, you can argue with them. At least on the way back, you can refer to the price sign. ==See== ===Beaches=== * '''El Istmito''' * '''Big Creek''' * '''Bluff Beach''' – There are several hotels/restaurants in middle. Swimming can difficult but come here for unspoilt sometimes private feeling beach. Surfing is popular. About $15 taxi from town. Otherwise take the bus to the junction towards Drago ($0.50) and walk the rest. * '''Starfish Beach''' – Take the hourly bus to Drago (45 min) and walk another 1.5-2 km from there (20 min). * '''Mimitimbi Beach''' ===Ecotourism=== * '''[https://stri.si.edu/visit/bocas-del-toro Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Tropical Research Station]''' &ndash; A world-class marine science research station, offering free guided tours Thursday and Friday afternoons.

Package tours that only include a boat ride past the islands are unlikely to result in sightings, but more focused tours that land on the islands are more likely to be worthwhile. * '''Dolphins''' &ndash; There is a lagoon a few miles away from Bocas Town with a resident population of wild dolphins. Many day tours of the islands include stops here, and it's also possible to take a water taxi. ==Do== * {{listing | type=do | name=Scuba Diving | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price=About $60/two tanks, all equipment included.

By breeding the two, you get a larger horse, than the traditional Paso Fino, with the smooth and lovely gait of the Paso.

Bournemouth is known for its popularity with pensioners and has many residential care homes due to its constant and warm weather (by English terms). However, it is still possible to find vibrant nightlife and youthful activities like watersports. [[File:Bournemouth.jpg|thumb|Bournemouth's main Pier]] ==Understand== Bournemouth's spa magic has been revitalised and history is repeating itself. A century ago the cream of Victorian society including royalty flocked to Bournemouth's pine forest landscape of luxurious villas. They were eager to sample the relaxing ambience of the town, breathe its healthy air, bathe in the pure seawater and unwind at leisure. In ''Tess of the D'Urbervilles'' Thomas Hardy generously described Bournemouth (alias Sandbourne) as "a Mediterranean lounging place on the English Channel". The aroma and perfume of the pine trees were considered health-giving and many a famous person came here to take advantage of it including J.R.R. Tolkien and D.H. Lawrence. The first spa hotel was built in 1885 - the Mont Dore Hotel (now Bournemouth's Town Hall). Apart from luxury rooms and tennis courts, the hotel also offered the Mont Dore cure which was said to be a healing water and could not be found anywhere else in England. Sea and pure water from the Bourne stream were pumped into the basement of the hotel to allow the additional luxury of soaking and perspiring in Turkish and salt baths. Since then, Bournemouth has grown into a thriving seaside resort and many of the big hotels offer spa treatments of their own as well as spa and beauty boutiques peppered throughout the town centre catering for men and women. The pine trees still exist and visitors can still stroll through Pine Walk in Bournemouth Gardens today to breath in the healthy air. During the summer, the Pine Walk Open Air Art Exhibition is held here. Bournemouth's growing population of students, gays and surfers have given it a more bohemian image than a typical south coast retirement town, leading to the nickname "BoMo". ===Climate=== {{Climate| units = Metric | janhigh = 8.4 | febhigh = 8.5 | marhigh = 11 | aprhigh = 13.5 | mayhigh = 17 | junhigh = 19.8 | julhigh = 22.1 | aughigh = 22 | sephigh = 19.3 | octhigh = 15.3 | novhigh = 11.5 | dechigh = 8.7 | janlow = 1.5 | feblow = 1.2 | marlow = 2.7 | aprlow = 3.8 | maylow = 7.2 | junlow = 9.8 | jullow = 11.9 | auglow = 11.6 | seplow = 9.4 | octlow = 7.1 | novlow = 3.7 | declow = 1.6 | janprecip = 86.9 | febprecip = 62.5 | marprecip = 64.7 | aprprecip = 53.9 | mayprecip = 49.5 | junprecip = 51.6 | julprecip = 47.8 | augprecip = 51.8 | sepprecip = 65.3 | octprecip = 100.7 | novprecip = 100.5 | decprecip = 100 | janh2o = 9.6 | febh2o = 9.1 | marh2o = 8.7 | aprh2o = 9.9 | mayh2o = 11.4 | junh2o = 13.4 | julh2o = 15.2 | augh2o = 16.6 | seph2o = 17.3 | octh2o = 16.2 | novh2o = 14.3 | dech2o = 11.8 | description = Source: [[w:Bournemouth#Climate|Wikipedia]].

The warmest months are May to September which is when you will enjoy long, hot and sunny days. It can get very cold in the depths of winter though, and will sometimes reach temperatures below zero. Bournemouth's annual rainfall is well below the national average. ==Get in== ===By car=== Unless travelling from the South-West of England most journeys by road will be via the M27 which turns into the dual-carriageway A31 and passes through the New Forest. At Ringwood look for the (A338) Bournemouth exit. Care is necessary when entering into Bournemouth on the Wessex Way as there are numerous speed cameras. Only those with a penchant for long queues of congestion should think about arriving at mid-day/early afternoon on a warm and sunny day! It is strongly advised to either get there very early or even arrive the evening beforehand otherwise you will be sitting in traffic for a considerable length of time on the A31. ===By train=== {{marker|type=go|name=Bournemouth station|url=http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations_destinations/BMH.aspx|lat=50.728|long=-1.864}} is served by South Western Railway trains from [[London#By train|London Waterloo]] and other locations on the South coast, such as Poole and Weymouth. It is served by express and semi-fast services which continue to Weymouth, and a slow service which terminates in Poole. CrossCountry trains from Manchester via Birmingham New Street terminate at Bournemouth, some trains arrive from other cities like Nottingham and Newcastle. Summer sees a wider variety of places linked directly to Bournemouth. ===By bus=== National Express Bus from [[London]] direct (approx. 2½ hours). === By taxi === There are couple of Bournmouth based taxi companies providing long distance transfers from major airports, towns, bus and rail stations to Bournemouth. ===By plane=== * {{listing | type=go | name=Bournemouth Airport | alt={{IATA|BOH}} | url=https://www.bournemouthairport.com/ | email= | address=Hurn | lat=50.78 | long=-1.8425 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Bournemouth Airport | image=Bournemouth Airport control tower geograph.org.uk 130727 1e343629-by-Pierre-Terre.jpg | wikidata=Q580409 | content=A few airlines fly directly into Bournemouth Airport from various destinations throughout Europe. }} Bournemouth airport has no train station however [https://www.bournemouthairport.com/to-and-from-the-airport/ shuttle bus services] operate. You can fly to Southampton Airport and take the train into Bournemouth (35-45 min £12.50). ==Get around== {{Mapframe|50.7371|-1.8852|zoom=12|height=700|width=|layer=|staticmap=|align=|name=Map of Bournemouth}} Bournemouth is small enough to walk around, but local bus services operate frequently within the town centre. Bus services are generally good (particularly in the East-West direction), but there is a wrinkle: the town is served by two companies who do not accept each other's tickets. They are the "yellow" Bournemouth buses, whose service extends to Christchurch and the east; and the "blue" More buses, whose routes extend more to Poole and the west. The main termini are at the rail station and the Square. Taxi services in Bournemouth are cheap for short journeys, with an initial charge of approximately £2. It is best to call for a cab rather than to queue at a rank near Holdenhurst for the best fare. The station is a hike (10 or 15 minutes, uphill) from the centre, so consider transport. ===Orientation=== The '''Square''' is the name given to the open space where the Tourist Information office is, the main gardens are, the pier can be accessed, and the river Bourne empties (although it is not in fact particularly square). It is naturally the lowest point in central Bournemouth, so you can generally aim for it by walking downhill. The main shopping area is due inland/north from the Square. Old Christchurch Road (note the 'Old') marks the upper limit of the main shopping area. Holdenhurst Road, leading from Old Christchurch Road to the station, is a student area of late-night takeaways. Christchurch Road (without the "Old") is a very long road leading out of the town centre to the town of the same name several miles to the west, with the Boscombe and Pokesdown strung along it. '''West Cliff''' is the clifftop, seafront area overlooking the Square, where there is collection of upmarket hotels and the International Centre. The '''Triangle''', Bournemouth's gay village and specialist shopping area, is up Commercial Road from the Square. Further west is '''Westbourne''', a very twee and cute area of boutiques and cafes, mostly along Seamoor Road, and its associated arcade. Popular with an older clientelle, it is not particularly jumping at night. West Bournemouth eventually merges with Poole. About halfway between them and worth a visit is '''Lower Parkstone''', a small area of specialist shops and trendy eateries that resembles a mini-Brighton. '''Boscombe''', an up-and-coming suburb of Bournemouth is to the to the east which has pleasant Victorian architecture and a selection of shops and eateries. The O2 Academy, and antique shops (particularly toward the '''Pokesdown''' end) are the main draws ==See== [[File:West Undercliff Promenade.jpg|thumb|250px|Bournemouth Beach]] Bournemouth is famous for its 7 miles of '''golden sandy beaches''' and clean seas. The beach has retained the international Blue Flag award status since it was introduced in 1996 and in 2011 also secured 4 Blue Flag awards for Alum Chine beach, Durley Chine beach, Fisherman’s Walk beach and Southbourne beach. The Pier is almost in the middle of the beach and offers a small fair, boat trips, an arcade, a café/bar and some other shops. ===Museums and galleries=== * {{listing | type=see | name=Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum | alt= | url=http://russellcotes.com/ | email=russellcotes@bcpcouncil.gov.uk | address=Russell Cotes Rd, BH1 3AA | lat=50.717447 | long=-1.870551 | directions=on the Eastcliff | phone=+44 1202 451800 | tollfree= | hours=Tu-Su 10AM-5PM | price= | wikipedia=Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum | image=RussellCotesExterior1.jpg | wikidata=Q7381305 | content=This museum and gallery has some wonderful collections of 19th-century art and Japanese artifacts.

Apart from its role within its country, it is also an internationally important city, hosting numerous international institutions, and in particular the core institutions of the [[European Union]]. Due to that, it is sometimes referred to informally as the capital of the EU, and even used as a metonym for the EU institutions. Brussels blends the heritage of a medieval Flemish town with the grandiose projects initiated after it became the capital of what was then a French-speaking country, as well as some impressive modern architecture erected in a large part to house the international institutions. Brussels is now bilingual, hosting and officially recognizing the Dutch- and French-speaking communities of Belgium, and has become increasingly international with the influx of people of various origin who came there to work, many of them for the European Union. This all makes Brussels a rather unique blend, sprinkled with a number of Belgian peculiarities, and for the inquisitive tourist a large treasure chest to discover. ==Districts== <!--{{Mapframe|50.8457|4.3513|zoom=12|show=other,mask,go,vicinity,city,around}}--> {{Mapframe|50.83872|4.36138|width=650|height=700|zoom=12|show=mask,see,do,buy,drink,sleep,eat,go,vicinity,city,around|name=Map of Brussels and public transport - S-train makes up the thin lines, the metro and premetro makes up the thick ones}} {{mapshape|type=page|wikicommons=Brussels_Districts.map}} {{mapshapes|Q506298}}<!--metro--> {{Mapshapes|Q117965|stroke-width=2}} <!-- Brussels S-train --> {{Regionlist| region1name=[[Brussels/Centre|Centre]] | region1color=#00ff00| region1items= | region1description=The small medieval centre of Brussels, with at its heart the Grand Place, the most beautiful square in the world and {{UNESCO}}.

Although dependent on Belgium for matters such as defense and foreign policy, Brussels has its own government in charge of interior affairs, environmental policies, health care, economy, transport, tourism and education, and its own laws regarding these matters. The city has control over its own administrative region (the Brussels Capital Region), which is on the same level as [[Flanders]] and [[Wallonia]] in Belgium. This status of a city state within a host country is somewhat comparable to [[Vatican City]] and [[Hong Kong]]. The political autonomy of Brussels has drawn international interest as the host for politically independent entities such as the [[European Union|European Institutions]] (the European Commission and European Parliament), and the NATO headquarters. Brussels is a strongly internationally oriented metropolis, and despite shared languages, inhabitants identify as ''Brusseleirs'' rather than Flemes or Walloons.}} When Brussels became the capital city of a new country in the 19th century, large parts of the old town were destroyed to make way for brand new ministries, palaces, schools, army barracks and office blocks constructed between 1880 and 1980. The medieval city walls that once defended and surrounded the city were demolished. Only a small historic centre (one square and four adjacent streets) was preserved. The historic Flemish town centres are better preserved in cities like [[Antwerp]], [[Bruges]], [[Ghent]], [[Leuven]], and [[Mechelen]]. This thoughtless treatment of historic buildings has earned past city planners near-universal scorn and even given rise to the term "Brusselization" for cities that similarly tear down old buildings, replacing them with faceless concrete monstrosities. ===Climate=== {{Climate | units = Metric | janhigh = 6 | febhigh = 7 | marhigh = 11 | aprhigh = 16 | mayhigh = 20 | junhigh = 23 | julhigh = 25 | aughigh = 25 | sephigh = 21 | octhigh = 16 | novhigh = 10 | dechigh = 6 | janlow = 1 | feblow = 1 | marlow = 3 | aprlow = 8 | maylow = 11 | junlow = 14 | jullow = 15 | auglow = 15 | seplow = 11 | octlow = 8 | novlow = 3 | declow = 1 | janprecip = 71 | febprecip = 53 | marprecip = 73 | aprprecip = 54 | mayprecip = 70 | junprecip = 78 | julprecip = 69 | augprecip = 64 | sepprecip = 63 | octprecip = 68 | novprecip = 79 | decprecip = 79 | description = See the Brussels forecast at [http://www.worldweather.org/053/c00191.htm World Meteorological Organization] }} Brussels has an oceanic climate. Although Brussels' weather has historically been famous for being awful and damp, the city has become warmer in the last decades. It features moderately cold, wet winters and warm, variable summers. Rainfall is equally distributed throughout the year, with a slight peak in the period from November to January and May to June. Day temperatures in winter revolve around 6°C and normally do not surpass 10°C. Sunshine hours are generally low, but higher than in many other Northern European locations. Snowfall is possible, although heavy snowfalls with significant accumulation are not frequent and only occur periodically. In March and April the weather generally turns milder, alternating sometimes warm, sunny days with cooler, overcast days. May is often the locals’ favourite month, as it features frequent sunny days accompanied by the first periods of truly warm weather. June shares similar characteristics, but day temperatures by then surpass 20°C almost every day, with the exception of periods of rainy weather in which they can revolve around 17-19°C. July and August are warm, and heat waves have become more and more frequent, with temperatures over 35°C being surpassed virtually every year. It is advisable to check the weather before your visit, as you are equally as likely to encounter a sunny week with day temperatures over 30°C every day as a more variable week with frequent rain and day temperatures below 24°C every day. September can either feature Indian summer conditions with warm, sunny days, or entire rainy periods with mildly cool weather. October is mild, although temperatures drop off quite quickly and sunny days start becoming rarer after October. In December 2017, Brussels shattered the European record for the least amount of sunshine in any given month. ====Preparing your visit==== Brussels has as many indoor as outdoor activities to offer, so even if it turns out to rain every day of your visit, you'll find more than enough to do to make the visit worthwhile. The [https://www.buienradar.be/weer/brussels/be/2800866 Buienradar] (literally ''Shower Radar'') shows the real time location of rain clouds and calculates predictions of their movements. The radar can tell when it will start to rain at your position with a 10 minute accuracy, and is a great tool for planning out your day. Although Brussels is best explored by foot or by bike, the public transport network is the best option when it's raining. Museums and other attractions are rarely more than 10 minutes walking away from a metro station, so a map of the metro network in combination with the ''Buienradar'' can keep you dry through adequate planning. If you're caught by surprise, metro stations are excellent places to seek shelter from the rain, and the larger stations have facilities where you can purchase a hot beverage while waiting ({{station|De Brouckere}}, {{station|Centraal Station}}, {{station|Montgomery}}, and so on). Chains like ''Starbucks'', ''Panos'', ''McDonalds'' and the likes don't care if you occupy a table without making a purchase, so these are good options to sit out longer showers. ===Boroughs=== Brussels is split into 19 ''communes'' or ''gemeenten'' (municipalities/boroughs): * '''Bruxelles/Brussel ''' - Brussels offers many charming and beautiful attractions, with deeply ornate buildings on the Grand Place/Grote Markt, and a fish-and-crustacean overdose of St. Catherine's Square (Place St-Catherine/Sint-Katelijneplein). Stroll along, (and stop in for a drink) at one of the many bars on Place St-Géry/Sint-Goriksplein, or max out your credit card on the trendy Rue Antoine Dansaert/Antoine Dansaertstraat. * '''Marolles/Marollen''' - A neighbourhood of Brussels close to the city's heart, one of the few places where the Brussels dialect of Dutch (Flemish) could still be heard. The area is best known for the flea market held daily on the Place du Jeu de Balle/Vossenplein and for a plethora of shops selling everything from old radios and bent wipers to fine china and expensive Art Nouveau trinkets. Visit on Saturdays or Sundays. * '''Brussels/Ixelles-Elsene ''' - A vibrant part of town with a high concentration of restaurants, bars and other services to satisfy the good-looking or the heavy-spending. Some wandering around will reveal small bookshops, affordable ethnic restaurants or independent record shops tucked away in side streets. The Matongé district just off Chaussée d'Ixelles/Elsenesteenweg is the city's main African neighbourhood. It is a large district in the South of Brussels spreading from newly gentrified immigrant neighbourhoods off the Chaussée d'Ixelles/Elsenesteenweg near the town centre to leafy suburbs close to the Bois de la Cambre/Ter Kamerenbos. The district is split in two by Avenue Louise/Louizalaan, which is part of the Bruxelles/Brussel district of the city. * '''Molenbeek/Molenbeek''' - Commonly known as Molenbeek-St-Jean or Sint-Jans-Molenbeek. The population has been described as "mainly Muslim" in the media; however, actual figures range between 25% and 40%, depending on the catchment area. As of 2016, there is one main minority group in Molenbeek, Belgian Moroccans. * '''Saint-Gilles/Sint-Gillis''' - The city's bohemian epicentre with thriving French, Portuguese, Spanish, Maghrebi and Polish communities. The area around the Parvis de St-Gilles/St-Gillisvoorplein is the arty part, with the area around the Chatelain/Kastelein and the Church of the Holy Trinity being decidedly more yuppified. Like Schaerbeek, Saint-Gilles boasts several Art Nouveau and Haussmann-style buildings. * '''St-Josse/Sint-Joost''' - The smallest and poorest ''commune'' not only of Brussels, but of all Belgium, this commune might not always be too pleasing on the eye but does have a few small, welcoming streets. The mid-part of the Chaussée de Louvain/Leuvensesteenweg is also home to a relatively small Indo-Pakistani community, so this is the place to head to for a tikka masala. The Turkish community which was the largest community only a few years ago has declined rapidly, as they moved to relatively wealthier communes by St-Josse/Sint-Joost standards. * '''Uccle/Ukkel''' - Brussels' poshest ''commune''. Green, bourgeois and starched like all posh ''communes'' should be. Uccle has retained many of its charming medieval cul-de-sacs, tiny squares and small townhouses as has nearby Watermael-Boitsfort/Watermaal-Bosvoorde. * '''Woluwé-Saint-Pierre/Sint-Pieters-Woluwe''' and '''Woluwé-Saint-Lambert/Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe''' are two ''communes'' at the eastern end of the city. Mainly residential, with a mixture of housing blocks, quaint neighbourhoods and green areas this place is well-loved by Eurocrats and other professional types. The enormous Wolubilis cultural complex is well worth a visit. ===Tourist offices=== * {{listing | name=Brussels International | alt=Brussels Info Place | url=http://www.brusselsinternational.be | email=tourism@brusselsinternational.be | address=Rue Royale/Koningsstraat 2 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+32 2 513-89-40 | tollfree= | fax= | hours=10:00-18:00 | price= | content= }} * {{listing | name=Brussels International | alt=Tourism and Congress | url=http://www.brusselsinternational.be | email=tourism@brusselsinternational.be | address=Town Hall Grand-Place | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+32 2 513-89-40 | tollfree= | fax=+32 2 513-83-20 | hours=09:00-18:00; Sundays: winter 10:00-14:00, Jan 1-Easter closed | price= | content=It's inside the town hall and usually crammed.

The common language is French, with around 90% of the population in Brussels speaking it passably to fluently. You can easily get by with English, especially in the tourist areas. Dutch is also an official language: within Brussels, the population that speaks Dutch passably to fluently is limited to around 20%, though Dutch-speakers make up the majority of Belgium as a whole. Because Brussels is the country's capital, when it comes to official matters, French and Dutch have equal status in Brussels, with sometimes complicated rules to ensure a balance between the two. Streets, railway stations, bus stops and other places have names in the two languages. The two names don’t always sound or look similar. For example, the Brussels-South railway station is ''Bruxelles-Midi'' in French and ''Brussel-Zuid'' in Dutch. Watch out when making assumptions based on English: a common mistake is to think ''Bruxelles-Midi'' refers to the Brussels-Central railway station, due to ''midi'' seeming similar to ''middle''. Areas outside of Brussels have only one official language, but may still have distinct names in the other language. For example, you may get a train ticket that lists ''Anvers'' (in French) as the destination, but the signs in the station there will only say ''Antwerpen'' (in Dutch). In Brussels, large segments of the population have neither French nor Dutch as their mother tongue, and many other languages can be heard on the street, with Arabic being particularly common. Historically Dutch-speaking, Brussels became more and more French-speaking during the 19th and 20th centuries. Today, most inhabitants speak French in daily life. The Brussels dialect, a Brabantian dialect of Dutch, can be heard, especially in the outer districts of Brussels Capital Region. The French spoken is standard French. Dutch speakers speak standard Dutch but many also speak a different variety when talking to people from their region. English has become a common spoken language because of the international institutions based in Brussels, such as the European Commission, the European Parliament and NATO. It is still relatively rare to find written tourist or general information in English, although the situation is changing. One can expect public announcements in train stations to at least be said in French and Dutch, while larger train stations (such as Zuidstation/Gare du Midi) typically include English and German. English is also used on metros, trams and buses, announced last for information such as line transfers and terminal stops. Do not hesitate to ask someone if you do not understand what has been said. Considering the city's location and that it markets itself as the capital of Europe, spoken English is less prevalent in Belgium than in its Dutch neighbour. However, even if it is not as widely spoken as one may expect, it is nonetheless widely understood. As is often the case elsewhere, success in finding someone who speaks English depends on several factors such as age (14-35 year-olds are most likely to speak English), education and previous experience abroad. German is also an official language in Belgium spoken as a mother tongue by about 70,000 people in the east of the country bordering Germany, but the only German you're likely to hear in Brussels would be overheard on the streets around the European institutions or by German tourists, even if there is a large German population residing there. Other languages that are increasingly heard in Brussels include Arabic (at least 25% of Brussels' population is of Arab descent, chiefly from Morocco), Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, and Russian. ==Get in== ===By plane=== [[File:World War I at Brussels Airport (14843594408).jpg|thumb|right|Brussels Airport is in Zaventem, a municipality immediately north of Brussels]] ====Brussels Airport==== [[File:Winter Operations @ Brussels Airport January 2013 (8387465114).jpg|thumb|right|The airport is the hub for the aptly-named Brussels Airlines, the flag carrier of Belgium]] {{listing | type=go | name={{rint|air}} Brussels Airport | alt={{IATA|BRU}} also referred to as '''Brussels National''' or '''Zaventem''' after the municipality it is in | url=http://www.brusselsairport.be/en/ | email= | address= | lat=50.901389 | long=4.484444 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Brussels Airport | image=Brussels Airport Runway 25 R.jpg | wikidata=Q28934 |lastedit=2018-08-26| content=This is Brussels' main airport.

Major North American carriers also offer flights to Brussels, as do a few Asian ones. Direct connections to [[Asia]] are decent, while those from and to Latin America are almost non-existent, so you most likely have to change at an intermediate airport, and may want to consider using one of the [[Middle East|Middle Eastern]] carriers (Emirates, Etihad and Qatar all serve Brussels) or change in one of Europe's major hubs like {{rint|air}} [[London Heathrow Airport|London Heathrow]], {{rint|air}} [[Frankfurt Airport|Frankfurt]], {{rint|air}} [[Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport|Paris Charles de Gaulle]] or {{rint|air}} [[Amsterdam Airport Schiphol|Schiphol]].

The journey to the {{rint|rail}} {{rint|be|rail}} and {{rint|metro}} {{rint|brussels|1}}{{rint|brussels|5}} ''Central Station'' takes 15-20 minutes. Tickets can be bought from vending machines (coins or PIN cards only) or the train ticket office (notes accepted) in the airport train station at Level -1. The trains are clean and well-maintained.

When boarding the bus make sure that the destination is Luxembourg, as some buses terminate at either the Schuman metro station or Gare de Bordet. The journey takes 30 minutes. The same ticket is valid for a total of 60 minutes on the trains (by SNCB), metro (by STIB), buses (by STIB, De Lijn and TEC) or trams (by STIB) from the moment it is validated. The buses depart from airport level 0. The ticket price is {{EUR|4.50}} from the vending machine next to the bus stop, or {{EUR|6}} on board. Frequent travellers can buy a 10-trip ticket ({{EUR|32}}) . The "GO" ticket vending machines '''only''' accept coins or PIN based cards. * {{rint|bus}} '''[http://www.delijn.be/ De Lijn buses 272 and 471]''' run every 30-60 minutes to Brussels' North Train Station (called ''Noordstation''/''Gare du Nord'' within the city or ''Brussel-Noord''/''Bruxelles-Nord'' in other places), {{km|2}} north of Grand Place.

In contrast to the tickets sold by MIVB/STIB, these tickets (sold by [[Flanders|Flemish]] regional bus operator De Lijn) are not valid on other means of public transport within Brussels. * Alternatively, Brussels can be reached '''by train''' much more cheaply via Zaventem village (dorp) station, which is within easy walking distance from the airport. At {{EUR|3.10}} (April 2022), the fare is three times cheaper than the ticket from Brussels Airport Station to the city. This is because the Diabolo Surcharge on airport trains does not apply here. Therefore, you can also travel this way to a farther destination using a Go Pass or Rail Pass without the need to pay the Diabolo Surcharge. Zaventem dorp station is served by frequent local trains to all Brussels stations, taking roughly the same amount of time as the airport trains (15-20 minutes to Central Station). In order to reach Zaventem dorp station from the airport, go to the bus parking on level 0 and walk towards the end of it, where the airport bicycle lane starts. Follow the airport bicycle lane (marked in red) through the small car park and along the highway for about 700 metres until the first crosswalk at the roundabout. Cross the road to the left and walk into the street leading into the village (Vilvoordelaan). Keep going straight ahead for another 800 metres until you reach the railway station's back entrance.<br>Coming from Brussels, exit Zaventem station through the back entrance on the northern side (the left in the direction of driving from Brussels). Walk straight north on Vilvoordelaan for about 800 metres until you reach the airport highway overpass, where you cross under and turn right onto the airport bicycle lane indicated with 'Terminal'. Follow the 'Terminal' bicycle lane for about 700 metres along the highway until you arrive at the airport bus parking on level 0, where you can enter the Terminal. * '''Taxis''' to the center cost around {{EUR|35}}.

Beware of "waiting" charges if your flight is delayed and you pre-ordered a cab, some companies charge you parking fees + {{EUR|25-30}}/hour for waiting. Always confirm the final charge with your driver before getting in the car. It is not uncommon for drivers to rip you off and charge {{EUR|80}} to go to the center, especially if they realize that it is your first time in Brussels and don't know your way around. =====<u>Left luggage facilities:</u>===== Brussels Airport has a '''[http://www.brusselsairport.be/en/passngr/services/luggage_lockers/ luggage locker service]''' (Level 0) where you can leave luggage for a fixed duration. The lockers say that you will have to retrieve your bags within 72 hours or else they will be removed, but they are actually moved to the room next door and stored until you retrieve them. This is a useful facility for people wanting to stow away big suitcases somewhere safe. The rate is {{EUR|7.50}} per 24 hours. You must pay in coins, a change machine is nearby.

The {{rint|metro}} metro and international trains {{rint|express}} (Eurostar, Thalys) are on the west side of the station, so upon entering the station from the bus stop, head left rather than straight. When traveling to the airport, it would be better to arrive at the Brussels Midi/Zuid stop far in advance of the bus departure time as the queue to board the bus could be very long (there are no ticket machines and people buy tickets on board). Therefore you might miss the bus and wait another 30 minutes. The traffic on the way out of Brussels can be heavy in peak hours, so the journey may take longer than planned. * {{rint|bus}} '''TEC-bus A''' ({{EUR|6}} one way) operates service from the airport to the {{rint|rail}} {{rint|be|rail}} Charleroi South (''Charleroi-Sud'') train station, from where you can connect to an intercity train ({{EUR|9.90}} one way) to Brussels. A combined train+bus ticket to or from Brussels can be obtained for {{EUR|15.90}} from the TEC vending machine at the airport. The bus journey takes 20 minutes and the train takes an additional hour. Trains depart every 30-60 minutes. * '''Taxis''' from the airport to the city center cost a fixed price of {{EUR|90}}. For the return trip to Charleroi you can book in advance a Charleroi-based taxi ({{EUR|90}}). Taxis operating from Brussels use a higher fare and will take you to the airport for a fixed price of {{EUR|120}} or based on the meter up to {{EUR|170}}. ====Other airports==== [[High speed rail]] and the central location of Brussels amid many major European cities make it entirely feasible to fly into several other airports and take the train from there. Depending on your itinerary, this may be both faster and cheaper, as connections may align better. * {{rint|air}} [[Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport]] ({{IATA|CDG}}) has a direct high-speed train (TGV) connection to Brussels. TGV trains departing every three hours from CDG arrive at Brussels-Midi within ~1.5&nbsp;hours. Book tickets early for the best prices. Alternatively, it is possible to access Brussels from Paris-CDG with TGV trains from French cities like Nice and Lyon. Most of these trains call at the airport. * {{rint|air}} [[Amsterdam Airport Schiphol]] ({{IATA|AMS}}) also has a high-speed train connection to Brussels-Midi, provided by [http://www.thalys.com Thalys]. Ride time is also around 1.5 hr, but the frequency is hourly and the costs can be lower (even down to {{EUR|30}}) depending on the time of travel and booking. Alternatively, slower (2.5 hr) regular Intercity trains exist as well, sometimes direct, sometimes with a transfer in [[Rotterdam]].

It calls at Brussels North, Liège, Aachen, Cologne, Bonn, Frankfurt airport and Nuremberg where the train divides: one portion runs via Linz to Vienna (14 hr), the other via Munich (13 hr) to Innsbruck (15 hr). In 2020 it doesn't run in July and Aug, but it's expected to be year-round from 2021. [[File:4752brusselsNorth.jpg|thumb|right|Brussels North has an impressive ''art deco'' terminal building with a modern expansion]] ===== Trains from within Belgium ===== Belgium has one of the most dense and best developed railway networks in Europe. Domestic trains are operated by the national railway operator {{rint|be|rail}} [http://www.b-rail.be/ NMBS/SNCB] (hotline: +32 2 528-2828). Besides simple one-way tickets there is a bewildering variety of tickets available depending on the exact route (returns are cheaper, there are also "all Belgium" tickets), frequency, your age and occupation (students get discounts) and departure time (travel after 09:00 and on weekends is usually cheaper). Frequencies and approximate travel times from Brussels Central station to selected cities in Belgium: * [[Antwerp]] - 6x/hour, 40min-1hr 15min * [[Arlon]] - 1xhour, 2hr 50min * [[Bruges]] - 2x/hour, below 1hr 10min (the service to Kortrijk also continues to Bruges, but it takes twice as much time) * [[Charleroi]] - 2x/hour, 1 hour * [[Dinant]] - 1x/hour from Brussels-Schuman (''not'' Central), 1.5 hours (you can also go from Central to Namur and change to Dinant there, travel time is longer by 15 minutes that way) * [[Gent]] - 6x/hour, 40min-1hr 10min * [[Kortrijk]] - 3x/hour 1hr 20min-1h45min (plus one extra connection per hour with a change Gent, 1hr 20min) * [[Leuven]] - 5x/hour, 25 min * [[Liege]] - 2x/hour, 1hr -1hr 30min * [[Mechelen]] - 7x/hour, 25-30 min * [[Namur]] - 2x/hour, 1hr 10min (+1/hour from Brussels-Schuman, same travel time) * [[Ostend]] - 2x/hour, 1hr 20min (or with a change in Gent - 2x/hour, 1hr 40min) * [[Waterloo]] - 2x/hour direct local train, 30min (or via [[Braine-L'Alleud]], with a change from Intercity to local train - 2x/hour, total travel time below 40min) There is also a fairly new suburban rail system (Brussels Regional Express Network, in French ''Réseau express régional'' (RER) and in Dutch ''Gewestelijk ExpresNet'' (GEN), or simply S train) that is like an S-Bahn, which serves nearby communities. Depending on the station, it can be faster or slower than an Intercity (IC) train, but as it is run by the national rail operator the price will be the same (fares are charged on the basis of distance for the most part). It will show up with the other trains when looking for tickets on the website, so you can see is it s a good fit for your journey or not. All three major stations in Brussels are very busy and there are trains departing in many directions almost every minute. If you are on the platform, do check if the train you are boarding is the one you want, as it may be the one that departs just a few minutes earlier. Be vigilant for last-minute platform changes. As the announcements for many trains (except for major international services and trains to Brussels Airport) are made in French and Dutch only, it is worthwhile to pay attention to departure displays. Always memorize the name of your destination in both French and Dutch to easily recognize it - the name as you may know it in English might not be used at all. Also note some trains are short, so at stations with long curved platforms such as at Brussel-Centraal (Bruxelles-Central) you may not be able to see the train if you’re standing on the opposite end of the platform. ===By bus=== Several bus operators offer long-distance connections to Brussels. The station for long distance coach services is {{marker |type=go |name=Brussels North CCN |lat=50.86135 |long=4.35993}} in a narrow street to the north-west of the railway station bearing the same name. While waiting for a connecting coach, the {{marker |type=drink |name=Starbucks |lat=50.85998 |long=4.35963}} inside the station can offer warmth and power sockets without the obligation to buy their overpriced drinks. * {{listing |type=go | name=Eurolines | url=http://www.eurolines.be/ | email= | address= | lat=50.86061 | long=4.35949 | directions= | phone=+32 2 274-1350 | tollfree= | fax=+32 2 201-1140 | hours= | price= | phoneextra=UK +44 (0)8 705 143 219 | content=Offers bus travel from many countries to Brussels, for example 8 hours from London Victoria station at {{EUR|39}}.

The scenic {{km|10}} long journey through the [[Brussels/Sonian Forest|Sonian Forest]] takes about 20 minutes, with a frequency of 5 trams per hour. A single ticket is {{EUR|2.10}}, and allows you to get off at any station along the way and back on the next tram within the ticket validity of an hour. Tickets can be purchased in Tervuren station or from the tram driver at an additional fee. Brussels can also be reached from [[Kraainem]] by tram {{rint|brussels|39}}, which connects [[#Q2169736|{{station|Montgomery}} metro station]] to the {{marker |type=go |name={{station|Ban-Eik|39}} station |lat=50.8422 |long=4.5025}} and traverses Kraainem halfway. Get on at stop {{marker |type=go |name={{station|Wilderozenweg|39}} |lat=50.8447 |long=4.4668}}, on a walking distance of Kraainem's tourist attractions, and take tram {{rint|brussels|39}} direction {{station|Montgomery}}. Travel time is approx. 15 minutes. As with tram {{rint|brussels|44}}, a ticket costs {{EUR|2.10}}, can be purchased in advance or from the tram driver at an additional fee, and remains valid for an hour. ===By metro=== Brussels metro line {{rint|brussels|1}} extends to {{marker |type=go |name={{station|[[Kraainem]]|1|76|77|79|n05}} metro station |lat=50.8488 |long=4.4586}}, and to {{marker |type=go |name={{station|Stokkel|1|39}} metro station |lat=50.8420 |long=4.4641}}. Travel time to the Brussels Grand Place from Kraainem station is about 25 minutes. A single ticket ''Jump'' costs {{EUR|2.10}}. Tickets must be purchased from a GO vending machine in either Kraainem or Stokkel metro station, and can only be paid with euro coins or Maestro compatible cards. Bills are not accepted. ===By bicycle=== Brussels is the third capital on [[Eurovelo]] Route 5, which starts in [[London]], through Brussels and [[Switzerland]] and ends in southern [[Italy]]. A number of other international and national [[cycling|cycle]] routes converge on Brussels. ==Get around== <!--{{Mapframe|50.8469|4.3515|zoom=14|height=540|width=520}}--> === By car === In short: try and use your car as little as possible. As with most European capitals, Brussels has taken great strides in eliminating cars, and with mostly good measures; as recently as the mid 2000s, Brussels had some of the worst (if not the worst) traffic jams in the western world, even rivaling cities like Los Angeles and New York City. Though Brussels is still lagging behind places like Amsterdam, the city's (overwhelmingly) left-wing government has installed bike lanes, pedestrianized streets, and invested in public transportation projects at a rate seldom seen in Europe. Though locals mostly approve of those measures, out-of-towners and people working in certain sectors have been more critical of the measures. Broadly speaking, it is strongly suggested not to drive near or within the R0. Most streets near the Gran Place have been pedestrianized, and only taxi and delivery drivers can access that area. However, the outskirts of Brussels are not always served by buses or trams, so having a car might be useful there. === On foot === Most sights in Brussels are fairly close together, within reasonable walking distance of each other. The oldest part of town can have uneven cobblestone roads, but the rest of the city is fairly easy to walk. A zone of 50 hectares in the city center is reserved for pedestrians, the second largest in Europe after Venice. Brussels has many wet days, and in winter small amounts of snow can make the ground slushy, so water-resistant footwear is a must if you will be out walking all day. ===By bicycle=== Bicycles are an excellent way to get from the city center to attractions outside the 'pentagone'. Although the Brussels weather isn't always equally favorable for cycling, bikes are often faster than public transport, particuarly for short distances. The cycling infrastructure is fairly poorly developed in comparison to cities of similar size like [[Amsterdam]] and [[Bristol]], and the elevation of Brussels might be challenging to inexperienced cyclists. Brussels' most valuable transport asset is, arguably, the '''Villo''' bicycle sharing system. [[File:Brussels_cyclist_privilege.jpg|thumb|right|Road sign unique to Brussels: cyclists may ignore red traffic lights if they turn right!]] To encourage cycling through the city, cyclists are granted some privileges in Brussels traffic. Most notably, cyclists are allowed to drive either way in one-way streets. They are allowed to drive through the car-free zone in the city center, the largest in Europe after [[Venice]]. At intersections marked with a triangular sign with a cycle icon and a right arrow, cyclists are allowed to turn right at any time, ignoring red traffic lights. ====Villo==== [[File:VilloStationAlmostFull.jpg|thumb|right|Bicycles waiting to be rented out in a Villo station]] '''[http://www.villo.be/ Villo]''' (a portmanteau of the French words ''ville'' - city - and ''vélo'' - bike) is Brussels' public bicycle sharing system. It consists of 5000 bicycles in the Brussels capital region, making it one of the largest in the world, with an infrastructure of 360 stations. Cycles can be rented out in any station and returned to the same or any other station, making it a convenient solution for point-to-point travel (as opposed to the {{rint|be|rail}} NMBS ''BlueBike'' scheme which requires return to the same station, making it only suitable for round trip journeys). Villo bicycles are well equipped to deal with the poor Belgian roads: they have puncture-resistant tires and a covered chain drive, and are in addition also equipped with a basket for cargo transport and automatic lights. Each bike has 7 gears and dual disc brakes to tackle hills around the city and reach destinations with higher elevation. The frame is rather heavy, though, weighing 22 kg. A decent level of fitness is recommended! To rent a Villo, a ticket must be purchased at a station. Not all stations issue tickets, which can be confusing Tickets are available for 1 or 3 days, and permit an unlimited number of rides. With a cost of {{EUR|1.60}} per day, this makes Villo the cheapest method of transportation after walking. Week passes are also available at {{EUR|7.65}}. As Villo is intended for short trips, you will be billed {{EUR|0.50}} per half hour after the first half hour (the first half hour being free). This is of course easily avoided by returning your bike to a station before the first half hour expires, and immediately renting another bike from the same station, resetting the counter. [[File:Villo_Day_Ticket.jpg|thumb|right|Example of a Villo day ticket, showing the 6 digit subscription number in bold font on top]] Purchasing a ticket goes as follows: * Find a station that issues tickets, press the 5 button to change the language to English. * Initiate the procedure to buy a ticket, and press 0 to get to the end of the EULA text. The response time is long, so give it a few seconds between every button push. * Choose a 4-digit PIN code and repeat it. This will be your 'password'. * A {{EUR|150}} deposit fee must be paid by card. You can only buy one ticket per card, and only if you have at least {{EUR|150}} available on the account. * The ticket will be issued, after which you can rent a bike directly. When choosing a bike, look at the orientation of the saddles. The convention among users is that, if a bike is defective, the saddle is lowered and its direction reversed. So don't try to rent out bikes with a reversed saddle. Likewise, if you notice your bike has a defect, then return it to the station and reverse its saddle to notify other users. Unless there is obvious evidence of vandalism, minor damage (flat tires, broken chains, etc.) will not be billed to your account. [[File:VilloTerminalAndMap.jpg|thumb|right|A Villo kiosk without payment terminal — you can't buy a ticket at these.]] When returning your bike to a station, always wait for the double beep and green light on the post you returned the bike to. Long beeps indicate that the bike is not placed incorrectly. After the double beep, the bike should be locked again. If you don't return it correctly and the bike is stolen, '''{{EUR|150}}''' will be billed to your account! After purchasing a ticket, bikes can be rented out from any station by typing the 6-digit subscriber number on the ticket into the station's kiosk, followed by the 4-digit 'password'. ====OBike==== In September 2017, the [[Singapore|Singaporean]] free floating bike rental service [https://www.o.bike/benl/ '''OBike'''] started offering an alternative service to ''Villo''. However since 2018 there have been few bikes left in the streets, and it doesn't seem possible to rent them anymore, even though the app is still working. ==== Uber JUMP ==== Since 2019 Uber has deployed a fleet of free floating electric bikes in Brussels. The operating area is mostly limited to the eastern part of the city. The rates are €1 to unlock and €0.15/minute. ===By metro, tram, or bus=== Public transport in Brussels can be confusing because different transport companies are active in the city. The dominant operator is the Brussels regional public transport operator '''[https://www.stib-mivb.be/index.htm?l=en STIB-MIVB]''' (+32 70 232-000; {{EUR|0.30}}/min). Some buses from [[Flanders|Flemish]] regional transport operator ''De Lijn'' connect Brussels to surrounding Flemish cities, but their tickets are '''not''' compatible with MIVB tickets. Occasionally even buses from the [[Wallonia|Walloon]] regional operator ''TEC'' venture into the city, and again, their tickets are incompatible. As long as you stay on the MIVB network — which roughly spans the entire Brussels capital region — a single ticket gives you access to all metro, tram and bus lines for the duration of '''1 hour''' with as many transfers as needed to reach your destination. Since Brussels is a fairly small city, in practice, you can get anywhere in under an hour so the time limit will rarely be an issue. '''Tickets''' are sold through reusable plastic cards ('''gray MoBIB cards''') or '''disposable paper RFID cards'''. Should you stay longer than a few days in Belgium, it may be worth investing in a MoBIB card for {{EUR|5}}, which are available for purchase at major metro stations and the 3 axis {{rint|be|rail}} NMBS railway stations (Brussels North, Central, and South) and can also be used in other Belgian cities. The MoBIB card can then be loaded with fares at GO vending machines in all metro stations and at many tram and bus stops. A MoBIB is required to purchase 5 journey tickets ({{EUR|8}}), 10 journey tickets ({{EUR|14}}), 2 day passes ({{EUR|14}}) or 3 day passes ({{EUR|18}}). Alternatively, paper RFID tickets can also be purchased from GO vending machines and are available for a single journey ({{EUR|2.10}}) or day pass with unlimited journeys ({{EUR|7.50}}). They can also be purchased directly from tram or bus drivers ('''not''' on the metro) but for {{EUR|2.50}} per journey, which is considerably more expensive than buying your ticket in advance at a GO machine. GO machines only accept debit and credit cards, and coins, but no paper currency. The interface is available in English, Dutch, French and German. To '''validate''' a ticket, either MoBIB or paper RFID ticket, push it against the red card readers within the white circle until it beeps, and the screen lights up green. You must validate your ticket on the first vehicle you enter and at each transfer afterwards. On buses and trams, the card readers are in the vehicles, whereas metro and underground tram stations have card readers with electronic gates at their entrances. If the card reader lights up red, it means there is no valid ticket on your card, possibly because the 1-hour time window has expired. At some stations, you need to validate again to leave the station. Groups of travelers can share a single MoBIB card if it has multiple tickets available, like 5- or 10-journey tickets. If you're with a group of 3, for example, simply tick the MoBIB card against the card reader 3 times to validate 3 journeys at once. At each transfer, you must again validate it 3 times. Groups must stay together during travel, since ticket checks are carried out routinely, and you must be able to present a validated ticket at any time. Failure to do so will result in a '''fine of {{EUR|100}}'''. Since buses and trams tend to get stuck in traffic, metro and underground tram lines are the fastest form of public transport. Most attractions can be reached by metro and a short walk. Metro entrances are marked by big {{rint|brussels|metro}} signs with the station name underneath. All announcements are made in Dutch, French and English. There are 4 metro lines, {{rint|brussels|1}} and {{rint|brussels|5}} running roughly east-west, and connecting the inner city with the European Quarter, Woluwe, and at the end of line {{rint|brussels|1}}, [[Kraainem]]. Metro line {{rint|brussels|6}} connects the inner city to the Heizel, and is the most convenient way to reach the Atomium. Ring line {{rint|brussels|2}} shares its trajectory with line {{rint|brussels|6}} until the {{station|Simonis}} station, and can be taken in both directions with a possible transfer at {{station|Simonis}} being necessary to complete your journey. In addition to the 4 metro lines there are also 2 underground tram lines {{rint|brussels|3}} and {{rint|brussels|4}} roughly running north-south, and connecting the North and South railway stations with the Grand Place and most of the city center attractions. Metro and underground tram stations are often a warm and dry refuge from the wet and cold weather in Brussels, and typically offer small convenience shops or coffee shops like Starbucks and the likes to sit out heavy showers. On the flip side, the metro in Brussels's cleanliness and safety are quite hit-and-miss compared to most metro systems; some stations are squeaky clean and modern, while others are dirty and in need of repair. Brussels is one of those cities that likes to hide its metro stations. You may find them inside a shopping mall (De Brouckère), behind railings in a park (Parc), or several streets away from the location they purport to serve (Beurs). Don't bother trying to spot the {{rint|brussels|metro}} signs, which are the same colour as larger signs for one-way traffic and car parking. Instead, just ask locals for directions. Official [http://www.stib-mivb.be/irj/go/km/docs/resource/Dynmaplan/index.html#en dynamic STIB/MIVB network plan] includes construction sites and replacement service ([http://www.stib-mivb.be/article.html?l=en&_guid=00266bf9-0883-3410-bc80-cd51a4d340c3 also more network plans are available]). ===By train=== The S-train can also be used for travel in the city. It is best for taking journeys from the center or a major train station to the outer edges, or the other way around. Some areas, especially in the north east, are easier to get to this way. ===By scooter=== If you have a driver's license, then scooters may be a less physically exhausting alternative to bicycles to get around the city. {{marker |type=around | name=Scooty | alt= | url=https://scootysharing.be/ | address= | lat=50.83884 | long=4.38619}} is a network of electric scooters available for rental throughout the city. Following a free roaming model, scooters can be found on public places in the city, and unlocked remotely by subscribers. After use, the scooter may be left at any public place. Although convenient considering Brussels' elevation, scooter rental is more expensive than ''Villo'' at {{EUR|0.26}}/minute. Registration is €2.99. ==See== {{SeeDistricts}} Its rich history left Brussels dotted with countless landmarks, some of architectural beauty, others of monumental proportions. In the [[Brussels/Centre|medieval centre]], nearly every building has its own story worth exploring! The surrounding [[Brussels/Pentagon|Pentagon]], roughly corresponding to the outline of Brussels in the Renaissance, adds many more attractions to the list of must-see attractions. When the weather gets unpredictable, over 80 museums in the Brussels Capital Region offer indoor excitement when rain prevents outdoor activities. [[File:Bruxelles_Grande_PLace.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Brussels/Centre#Q1255327|city hall]] at the [[Brussels/Centre#Q215429|Grand Place]], a {{UNESCO}}, at night.]] The most iconic sight in Brussels is its central square, the {{marker|type=see|name=[[Brussels/Centre#Q215429|Grand Place]]|wikidata=Q215429}}, widely regarded as the most beautiful square in the world, and Brussels most famous {{UNESCO}}. The Grand Place and its surrounding streets are the last remains of medieval Brussels, and offer a unique insight into the look and feel of the city a millennium ago. The [[Brussels/Centre#Q1255327|city hall]] and its tower, seen on many post cards, is a landmark and orientation point from most of the [[Brussels/Centre|centre]]. [[Brussels/Centre#Q152072|Manneken Pis]], Brussels most famous statue, can be encountered in one of the side streets. As one of the most overrated attractions in Belgium, this insignificant statue is easily overlooked! The [[Brussels/Centre#Q2957320|Mary Magdalene Chapel]] and [[Brussels/Centre#Q2762071|St. Nicholas Church]] are among the oldest churches in Belgium, and attraction poles for enthusiasts of religious architecture. A free tour starts in front of the city hall on the Grand Place every day at 10:00, 11:00, 13:30 and 14:00, and guides visitors along the most important sights in the centre. [[File:Basilica_of_the_Sacred_Heart_from_outside_1.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Brussels/West#Q846006|Basilica of the Sacred Heart]], among the largest churches in the world]] Over time, a flourishing commerce developed outside the first city walls, of which the [[Brussels/Pentagon#Q3533138|Black Tower]] is one of the last remnants. The former docks around the [[Brussels/Pentagon#Q1903443|Church of St. Catherine]] have been converted into fountains, but have kept their reputation for best fish restaurants in the city. The nearby [[Brussels/Pentagon#Q535244|Beguinage]] and its church tell the story of the development of the city up to [[France|French]] occupation at the end of the 18th century. The {{marker |type=see|name=[[Brussels/Pentagon#Q269654|cathedral]]|wikidata=Q269654}} dates from the same period, and as a nearly exact copy of the [[Paris/4th arrondissement#Q2981|Notre Dame]] of [[Paris]], it is well worth a visit because, unlike its more famous Parisian counterpart, entrance here is free, and there are usually no waiting lines! The [[Brussels/Pentagon#Q1131821|Coudenberg Museum]] and [[Brussels/Pentagon#Q1937507|Bruxella 1238]] take visitors underground to explore the archaeological remains of Brussels history, for those fascinated by Brussels early history. The [[Brussels/Pentagon#Q2988142|Halle Gate]], now a museum, is the last surviving gate of Brussels second city walls. [[File:Exterior_of_the_Law_Courts_of_Brussel.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Brussels/Pentagon#Q635307|Law Courts]], monumental architecture by Joseph Poelaert]] From [[Belgium|Belgian]] independence in 1830 onward, Brussels quickly transformed into the modern capital it was envisioned to be. Under supervision of kings Leopold I and his son Leopold II, Brussels architect Joseph Poelaert initiated several monumental construction projects, most of which still stand today. Examples are the {{marker |type=see |name=[[Brussels/Pentagon#Q635307|Law Courts]] |wikidata=Q635307}}, the largest building in the world at the time of construction, overlooking the old city from [[Brussels/Pentagon#Q2783500|Poelaert Square]]. The [[Brussels/Heysel#Q1547264|Church of Our Lady of Laeken]] to the north of the [[Brussels/Pentagon|Pentagon]] and the [[Brussels/Centre#Q600633|Congress Column]] are also among his most famous work. The [[Brussels/Pentagon#Q635307|Royal Palace]] is just a short climb away and also dates from this period of architectural magnificence. The {{marker|type=see|name=[[Brussels/West#Q846006|Basilica of the Sacred Heart]]|wikidata=Q846006}} is the 5th largest church in the world, and a corner stone in art deco architecture. [[File:Atomium_-_Bruxelles,_Belgium_-_October_31,_2010_01.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Brussels/Heysel#Q180901|Atomium]], a masterpiece of contemporary architecture]] The {{marker|type=see|name=[[Brussels/Heysel#Q180901|Atomium]]|wikidata=Q180901}}, a 102 m tall sculpture of a 165 billion times magnified iron crystal, dominates the skyline of [[Brussels/Heysel|northern Brussels]]. It is the best known relic of the 1958 [[World's Fair]], along with the [[Brussels/Heysel#Q155285|Centenary Palace]]. Although only a few of the spheres are open to the public, the restaurant at the top offers an amazing view over Brussels. If you're lucky enough that the {{marker|type=see|name=[[Brussels/Heysel#Q1644661|Royal Greenhouses]]|wikidata=Q1644661}} are open to the public, then don't hesitate to visit them. [[File:Laeken,_Brussels,_Belgium_-_panoramio_(38).jpg|thumb|right|Tropical forest in the [[Brussels/Heysel#Q1644661|Royal Greenhouses]]]] [[File:Brussels_Cinquantenaire_R02.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Brussels/European Quarter#Q1101790|Cinquantenaire Arc]], with behind it the aviary hall of the [[Brussels/European Quarter#Q1395176|Museum of Military History]]]] To the east of the [[Brussels/Pentagon|Pentagon]] is the [[Brussels/European Quarter|European Quarter]], the centre of political power in the [[European Union]]. Serving as the unofficial capital of the European Union, the second largest democracy in the world (after [[India]]), much of the legislation making processes take place in the {{marker|type=see|name=[[Brussels/European Quarter#Q8889|European Parliament]]|wikidata=Q8889}} and [[Brussels/European Quarter#Q8880|European Commission]]. Both can be visited, although tours tend to be rather formal. For a lighter experience, the [[Brussels/European Quarter#Q8062880|Parlamentarium]] or [[Brussels/European Quarter#Q46012|House of European History]] are likely better tuned to younger audiences. The nearby {{marker|type=see|name=[[Brussels/European Quarter#Q1101790|Cinquantenaire Park]]|wikidata=Q1101790}} is worth a detour for its monumental arc, but also when the weather doesn't allow outdoor activities, the district has a lot to offer. The [[Brussels/European Quarter#Q222297|Museum for Natural Sciences]] hosts a complete herd of iguanodon skeletons, and is a must-see for adults and children alike, whereas the aviary hall of the [[Brussels/European Quarter#Q1395176|Museum of Military History]] in the shadow of the Cinquantenaire Arc has original aircraft on display, ranging from civilian planes to jet fighters. To keep balance with political powers, Brussels also hosts the [[Brussels/North-East#Q12800833|NATO headquarters]], the most powerful military alliance in the world, in the [[Brussels/North-East|north-east]] district of the city. The nearby [[Brussels/North-East#Q579666|cemetery]] is home to many silent witnesses of the so called ''military victories''. The railway museum [[Brussels/North-East#Q14931504|Train World]] and nearby [[Brussels/Woluwe#Q609692|Tram Museum]] in the [[Brussels/Woluwe|Woluwe]] district are top attractions for rail enthusiasts. Woluwe also has a lot to offer to architecture lovers, with the {{marker |type=see |name=[[Brussels/Woluwe#Q239028|Stoclet Palace]] |wikidata=Q239028}} and [[Brussels/Woluwe#Q2671145|Solvay Residence]] recognized as {{UNESCO}}s. When strolling along architectural sights and museum display cases feels overwhelming, the [[Brussels/Sonian Forest|Sonian Forest]] to the south of the city will offer a welcomed change of scenery. This vast section of nature, with lakes and century old beech trees, is protected as {{UNESCO}} and a true heaven for fans of outdoor activities. If you're planning on visiting many attractions and museums, consider the advance purchase of a ''[http://www.brusselscard.be Brussels Card]'', which offers discounts at many attractions and free entrance to 40 of the most popular museums. It is available in 24&nbsp;hr ({{EUR|24}}), 48&nbsp;hr ({{EUR|36}}) and 72&nbsp;hr ({{EUR|42}}) versions, includes a free guidebook, free use of public transit (metro, bus, tram), and discounts at various shops and restaurants. It may not be worth it to those who already receive discounts (children, students, etc.). The card can be purchased on-line in advance for a discount, at the major tourist offices, and in some museums. Keep in mind however that many attractions have severely limited opening hours (usually from 09:00 until 17:00) when planning your visit, although sights like the Grand Place or Atomium can be enjoyed around the clock. ==Do== {{SeeDistricts}} [[File:ForetDeSoignesSunset.jpg|thumb|right|A sunset in the [[Brussels/Sonian Forest|Sonian Forest]], a {{UNESCO}}]] Brussels has a large variety of activities to offer, regardless of the weather. Strolling through the [[Brussels/Centre|medieval centre]] and enjoying waffles or fries on the go is a favorite for locals and tourists. When passing the {{marker |type=do |name=[[Brussels/Centre#Q1146518|Stock Exchange]] |wikidata=Q1146518 |lat=50.84795 |long=4.35041}}, sit down on the stairs along with the locals and have a chat. Keep an eye out for [[Brussels/Centre#Q3364879|comic book murals]], of which there are 43 different ones to discover around the city! Those fascinated by comic books may consider visiting the [[Brussels/Centre#Q3328436|Museum of Figurines]] or the [[Brussels/Centre#Q1846894|Marc Sleen Museum]]. Brussels can also be explored from underground through the {{marker |type=do |name=[[Brussels/Centre#Q23893729|Sewer Museum]] |wikidata=Q23893729}}, learning the history of the city while walking underneath its busy traffic. [[File:Brussels_Mini_Europe.jpg|thumb|left|Scale replica of the [[Brussels/Centre#Q1255327|city hall]] in [[Brussels/Heysel#Q1067006|Mini Europe]]]] When weather permits, a walk through the {{marker |type=do |name=[[Brussels/Sonian Forest#Q833646|Ter Kameren Park]] |wikidata=Q833646}} or even the [[Brussels/Sonian Forest|Sonian Forest]], a {{UNESCO}}, is highly recommended. The {{marker |type=do |name=[[Brussels/European Quarter#Q1101790|Centenary Park]] |wikidata=Q1101790}} is closer to the city centre, and climbing the countless steps towards the top of its arc (entrance through the [[Brussels/European Quarter#Q1395176|Museum of Military History]]) is worth the effort for a fantastic view over the [[Brussels/European Quarter|European Quarter]] of the city. A less physically intense alternative to exploring the monuments of Brussels is a visit to {{marker |type=do |name=[[Brussels/Heysel#Q1067006|Mini Europe]] |wikidata=Q1067006}} on the [[Brussels/Heysel|Heysel plateau]] to the north, a park with scale models of numerous iconic [[Europe]]an buildings and features. In summer, a zip line ride down from the top of the [[Brussels/Heysel#Q180901|Atomium]] is an unforgettable experience for die hard thrill seekers! A confrontation with rain in Brussels humid climate is no reason for despair. If none of the 80 museums would be of interest then a visit to the {{marker |type=do |name=[[Brussels/Heysel#Q3391652|Planetarium]] |wikidata=Q3391652}} or watching an action movie in 4D in the mega cinema complex {{marker |type=do |name=[[Brussels/Heysel#Q37994127|Kinepolis]] |wikidata=Q37994127}} can be indoor alternatives. For more adventurous water fans, [[Brussels/South#Q128191|Nemo 33]] offers a diving challenge in the second deepest heated indoor swimming pool in the world at 34.5 metres (113&nbsp;ft) and 30°C (86°F) If you prefer to get submerged into local culture, try one of the Brussels themed room escape games of {{marker |type=do |name=[[Brussels/Centre#Q56023559|Enygma]] |wikidata=Q56023559}} near the city centre, and puzzle your way out within the hour. For fans of Brussels many culinary delicacies, following a [[Brussels/Centre#Q56023603|beer brewing]] or [[Brussels/Centre#Q56023627|waffle baking]] workshop are tasty activities for an afternoon, alone or in a group. To keep up to date with what's going on, pick up a copy of local free city newspaper ''Zone 02''. Another good free listings paper is ''Agenda'', which is distributed together with the Dutch-language weekly ''Brussel Deze Week'' and has the notable advantage of being published in three languages (English, Dutch, French). You can find them in many cafés and restaurants around the city. '''Football:''' the men's national soccer team play at King Baudouin Stadium in Heysel.

'''Passion Chocolat''' (20 Rue Vanderlindenstraat) is a bit out of the way but its artisan chocolate is worth a visit, and you can taste lots of it for free at the entrance.}} There is plenty of good eating to be had in Brussels. Most people concentrate on the three classics: '''mussels''' (''moules'' in French and ''mosselen'' in Dutch), '''fries''' (''frites'' in French and ''frieten'' in Dutch) and '''chocolate'''. A few more adventurous ''Bruxellois/Brusselse'' dishes include ''anguilles au vert/paling in 't groen'' (river eels in green sauce), meat balls in tomato sauce, ''stoemp'' (mashed vegetables and potatoes) and ''turbot waterzooi'' (turbot fish in cream and egg sauce). For dessert, try a Belgian '''waffle''' (''wafel'' in Dutch and ''gauffre'' in French), also available in a square Brussels version dusted with powdered sugar, and choices of bananas, whipped cream and many other toppings. Although many prefer the round, caramelized version from [[Liège]]. The matter over which establishment serves up the best '''frites''' (locally known as ''fritkots'' in Dutch and "friterie" in French) remains a matter of heated debate. Some argue that the best frites in Brussels are served at the fritkot near the Barriere de Saint-Gilles, while others defend St-Josse's Martin (Place Saint-Josse/Sint-Joostplein) as the prime purveyor of the authentic Brussels frite just as others claim Antoine (Place Jourdan/Jourdanplein) remains the king of the local french fry. No matter which fritkot you're at, try to be adventurous and have something other than ketchup or mayonnaise on your fries. Of the selection of bizarre sauces you've never seen before, "andalouse" is probably the most popular with the locals. '''Vegetarians''' can find at least one menu item at many, though not all, regular restaurants. '''Vegans''' will have a harder time, while the [http://www.veganizerbxl.com Veganizer BXL initiative] is looking to widen their options, it’s best to head for the vegetarian-vegan restaurants. Check the prices of food items before ordering, especially when servers make choices for you. It has been reported that tourists have to pay up to {{EUR|7}} for a litre of sparkling water, costing less than {{EUR|0.70}} in local stores. Also beware of the 'Italian Restaurant Streets' in the tourist and shopping districts. These streets are lined with small Italian restaurants, some offering "3 course meals" for {{EUR|12}} or {{EUR|13}}. They are all run by just a few shop owners and serve unappetizing store purchased food. They will not 'include service' as most all restaurants in Brussels do, and many tourists have reported getting ''scammed'' here, especially when not paying with exact change. A common practice is to present you a menu where prices aren't anything near the ones advertised in the windows. Be sure you ask why there is such a price difference before ordering and do not hesitate to leave if you do not agree with the price. If you were offered a drink and already sipped from your glass before receiving the menu (as is often the case) then just pay for the drink and leave. [[File:RueDesBouchers.JPG|thumb|240px|Rue des Bouchers-Beenhouwerstraat, bustling on a Saturday night]] Brussels' tourist restaurant gauntlet can be found in Rue des Bouchers-Beenhouwerstraat, just to the north of Grand Place. The place has a bad reputation for waiters imposing themselves on passers-by, trying to lure customers into their restaurant. The authorities are aware of this, and are trying to take measures. Some restaurants may also tempt you with cheap prices for the menus, but when seated, the item on the menu happens to be unavailable, and you're forced to accept another, noticeably more expensive dish. Often, the exaggerated price of the wines will also compensate for the attractive menu. Knowing this however, you may be able to negotiate a better deal before entering. ==Drink== [[File:Cantillon tasting.jpg|thumb|200px|Gueuze tasting at Cantillon brewery]] {{SeeDistricts}} Belgium is to beer what France is to wine: it is home to one of the greatest beer traditions in the world, and Brussels is a great place to sample some of the vast variety on offer. Typical beers of Brussels are ''gueuze'' (rather sour) and ''kriek'' (rather sweet, cherry based). Smoking is prohibited in all bars. It is allowed to smoke on the outdoor parts that many bars install on the street during the warmer months. A special drink only found in Brussels is the "half-en-half" ("half and half"). It's a mixture of white wine and champagne. ==Sleep== {{SeeDistricts}} Hotel rates in Brussels can vary widely (especially at the upper end) depending on how many EU bigwigs happen to be in town. Good deals are often available on weekends and during the summer when the bureaucrats flee on vacation. ==Stay safe== [[File:Comic Mural Tintin, Hergé, Brussels.jpg|thumb|250px|The chances of being involved in an espionage thriller are slim.]] This might come as a shock to the uninitiated, but Brussels is increasingly dealing with the reputation of being a rather unsafe or uneasy city by Western European standards. However, this is something that has, rather unfortunately, been bloated by the media and "word-of-mouth"; in reality, Brussels' safety is on par with most major European capitals, albeit with an uneven distribution seldom seen in Europe. ===Areas to watch out for=== Generally speaking, tourists are unlikely to encounter many safety issues in the city center and in much of East, South, and Northwest Brussels (So long as the basic precautions are taken). On the other hand, many neighborhoods have a reputation of crime and decay, though most travelers are unlikely to visit them. Do note that the (subjective) safety of an area can change incredibly fast in Brussels, so know where you're going when doing so at night and outside the city center. Ask a local for advice if possible. This is especially relevant for areas such as Saint-Gilles (especially near the Brussel-Zuid/Bruxelles-midi station), Matongé, Anneessens (around Place Fontainas), Molenbeek (next to the canal), Schaerbeek, and the Marolles. [https://www.eupedia.com/belgium/map_disadvantaged_neighbourhoods_brussels.shtml This map] gives an indication of the less attractive and inviting areas (in red), although the attractiveness and subjective safety of an area can change quickly street by street. A seemingly safe street might sit right next to a rough area, and vice versa. ===Pickpocketing=== Pickpocketing is by far the most likely issue you will come across in Brussels, with the city frequently ranking high by European standards. Pickpocketing has been reported in nearly every neighborhood in Brussels. This activity is mostly carried out by teams in crowded tourist areas, in train and metro stations, and in parks (even during the daytime). Those who commit these petty crimes are really professional. Therefore, as usual, it's better to not unnecessarily show valuables in public, especially when looking as a tourist. ===Parks=== In and around the ''Parc de Bruxelles/Warandepark'', between the Royal Palace and the Belgian Parliament, criminals have been known to threaten their victims with violence. If you are robbed, there is a police station right next to the gate in front of the Belgian Parliament (on the right side when leaving the park, hidden in the bushes) where experienced policemen will help you. Most of them speak French, Dutch and English well. The Parc du Cinquantenaire has developed a reputation as a magnet for assaults against women at night. Most big parks don't have any (sufficient) lighting. Examples are those around the Atomium (Laeken and Osseghem parks) and the Bois de La Cambre/Ter Kamerenbos. Although they are mostly just deserted at night, it's always better to be careful; Laeken and Osseghem are located near sketchy areas, whereas the Bois de la Cambre has a history of aggravated assaults. The Parc Maximilien/Maximiliaanpark (just west of North Station) is located near the Immigration Office, and is often used by migrants to spend the night while waiting to apply for asylum, moving to another country or for various reasons. It's unlikely a tourist would wander there, but it's still better avoided. ===Train stations=== * The areas immediately surrounding the Brussels Midi-Zuid train station are among the poorest in the city: it is not advised to wander there alone at night. The station is among the biggest pickpocketing hotspots in Europe. * The same applies to the Nord-Noord train station; do not venture too far away from the Northern Quarter (the business district that surrounds the Nord-Noord station), as several rough areas are nearby, including the city's red light district. * The Brussels-Central station is also a pickpocketing hotspot. There are many homeless people begging around the station as well, but rarely in an aggressive way. ===Miscellaneous=== *As in Paris or Berlin, people of the Jewish faith should think twice before wearing identifiable symbols. *Being a very international city, Brussels houses people from all walks of life. Whilst most people are welcoming and open-minded, some have not gotten used to the "internationalisation" of Brussels. As such, random acts of racism may happen. *Though not as frequent as pick-pocketing, muggings have been known to occur in certain parts of Brussels, namely Molenbeek. *Belgians tend to drive poorly, and this goes double for Brussels. Always look before crossing and do refrain from jaywalking. *Not unlike drivers, bike riders in Brussels tend to be anarchic, often ignoring traffic rules and being aggressive to cars. Whenever you see someone cycle, stop, let them pass, and do not argue under any circumstance. *Once virtually unheard of, strikes (mostly caused by bus and metro drivers) and riots have become a regular occurrence in Brussels. They are usually peaceful, but watch out if things start heating up. *With Belgium being the land of beers, drunken behaviours are to be expected in Brussels, especially when football games are on, during weekends, and on certain holidays (St. Patrick’s Day, National Holiday, etc.). Just keep an eye out and you should be fine. *The Avenue Louise, one of the most famous roads in Brussels, is a major prostitution hot spot at night. ==Stay healthy== There are few health hazards to worry about in Brussels. Tap water in Brussels, and most of the rest of the country, is drinkable, and as healthy as bottled mineral water. Fountains and wells on the other hand are '''not''' suitable for human consumption. In summer, '''ticks''' are routinely encountered in parks, and are known to carry Lyme disease, which can be deadly if left untreated.

There are also some towns just across the NL border which are very near and within easy day-trip distance from Brussels. They are very popular among Belgians to visit (especially on Sundays, as all shops and supermarkets are open in these Dutch border towns): * [[Hulst]] - About 60 km NW of Brussels, near Antwerp. Charming well-preserved historic fortified city just 3km outside of the NL border in Zeelandic Flanders. The ramparts surrounding the old town and the city gates are still entirely intact. Probably the 'most Flemish' city in the Netherlands, with an interesting mixed Belgian and Dutch atmosphere. Hulst is the nearest and the biggest among these places and has the most shopping options. It also has a beach on the Westerschelde, which is known as the 'Ibiza on the Schelde'. * [[Sluis]] - Also in Zeelandic Flanders, just 1km from the Belgian border and 100 km from Brussels. Very near the Belgian seaside (8 km from Knokke-Heist). Another charming historic town with a windmill slap-bang in the centre of town. * [[Baarle]] - About 100 km NE of Brussels. Very curious place, as it is a Belgian enclave inside Netherlands territory, and the village is divided into a Belgian part (Baarle-Hertog) and a Dutch part (Baarle-Nassau). The border situation is very complex, sometimes running right through houses and shops and with pieces of B and NL territory mixed up in a confusing patchwork. You can also get to any of the following 'foreign' cities from Brussels within a few hours without the use of a plane: [[Amsterdam]]/[[Rotterdam]]/[[The Hague]]/[[Utrecht]] (train or car), [[Luxembourg]] (car or train), [[Paris]] (train - longer by car), [[London]] (by train), [[Aachen]] (train or car), [[Maastricht]] (one hour by train) [[Lille]] (less than an hour by train or car), [[Cologne]]/[[Bonn]] (train or car), Frankfurt (train - longer by car) {{isPartOf|Belgium}} {{usablecity}} {{geo|50.84643|4.35170|zoom=15}} quwumvuqowcb5i6rbgpwrpn86b300lx 0 5318 4496063 4354263 2022-08-06T11:58:16Z SHB2000 2248002 wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Île Saint-Paul banner.jpg}} '''Île Saint-Paul''' (not to be confused with Saint Paul Island near Alaska) is a small, volcanic outcrop in the deep Indian Ocean, located at approximately 38'42" and 77'32", about 85 km south-west of [[Île Amsterdam]]. It is notable for being a rare example of a "volcanic lagoon" - an almost totally submerged volcanic caldera, thereby allowing small landing craft to travel into the crater of the volcano. ==Get in== [[File:StPaul Map.png|thumb|400px|Island map]] {{mapframe|zoom=13}} {{mapshape}} One side of the caldera of the volcano collapsed in 1780, creating a gap which is large enough for small craft to navigate and enter. Bear in mind, the gap is shallow and highly variable, being sometimes only a few metres deep. It is also located on the east of the island, whereas the very strong winds typically come from the west, making it impossible as well as very dangerous to approach under sail. Approach by motor only and with extreme caution. For larger vessels, there is anchorage off the east of the island. You should not leave a vessel unattended. For small vessels, it is possible to anchor inside the caldera, particularly towards the south. ==Talk== The French Government lays claim to the island and there is a cabin on the shores of the lagoon which is occasionally visited by their weather scientists from Ile Amsterdam. This is infrequent, and in the event you end up stuck on the island you should not count on seeing anyone for quite some time. ==See and do== For such a lonely place, Saint-Paul has acquired a surprisingly eventful history. The HMS Megaera was wrecked at Saint-Paul (more accurately, its crew gave up in disgust at the poor quality hull of the ship and scuttled it in the lagoon). An ill-fated lobster cannery was started on the island and then abandoned. Its employees were stuck on the island and all but two of them starved before they could be rescued. The ruins of the old stone cottages are still there. You can see evidence of this human activity as well as the rock with the original French inscription laying claim to the island on the shores of the lagoon. There are always seals and seabirds about. Penguins can also be found. ==Buy== If you are in need of emergency supplies, you are far better off going to Ile Amsterdam and throwing yourself at the mercy of the French weather scientists. You won't find anything here. ==Eat== There is little vegetation on the island except for grass. You could try fishing but results may vary. ==Drink== There is no permanent water on the island. == Sleep== This is an uninhabited island. ==Stay safe== Strong westerly winds predominate. Like all destinations in the deep Indian Ocean, only accomplished sailors should apply. ==Respect== You may wish to consider obtaining permission from the French government before landing, although it's doubtful that they'd grant it. There is a company that offers cruises past the island on their way to Heard Island, although the French apparently don't allow them to land: [http://heritage-expeditions.com/trip/south-indian-ocean/ Heritage Expeditions] As with visiting any isolated island, you should take a great care to avoid inadvertently introducing any noxious vegetation. Do not take any foodstuffs ashore that may contain seeds, and make sure you carefully brush your clothes to remove any seeds that may have collected there. ==Go next== {{DEFAULTSORT:Ile Saint-Paul}} {{geo|-38.72015|77.52870|zoom=18}} {{outlinecity}} {{IsPartOf|Islands of the Indian Ocean}} pppnnb16jssxvgkimspd6a8w4c57dew 0 5529 4495766 4462106 2022-08-05T15:37:39Z 174.63.69.37 /* See */ Updated listing for Statue of Ramses II wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|WV banner Cairo East Unknown soldier memorial in Nasr City.jpg}} [[File:Reverse side baron palace.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Baron Empain Palace in Heliopolis]] The '''eastern districts''' of [[Cairo]] are a series of planned communities which have been built away from the congestion of historic Cairo. The most prominent communities are Heliopolis, Nasr City, and New Cairo. Cairo International Airport is also located in this area, just to the east of Heliopolis. '''Heliopolis''' (مصر الجديدة ''Masr el-Gedida'', lit. "New Egypt" or "New Cairo") is the oldest district, established in 1905 not far from the ancient city of Heliopolis (which is located to the [[Cairo/North|northwest]]). The ancient city was dedicated to the god Atum, but it declined after the Persians took over control of Egypt in 525 BC. Modern Heliopolis was established in 1907 by the Belgian Baron Empain, with a streetcar line running between Heliopolis and central Cairo. It's one of the nicest places to live in [[Cairo]], but there isn't much to visit as a tourist. The main reason to stay here is the proximity to the airport. '''Nasr City''' was established by Gamal Abdel Nasser in the 1960s. It was intended to be a new capital city, but never developed as planned. It now has a socially mixed population including many immigrants, and is an economic center containing many shopping malls. '''New Cairo''' (القاهرة الجديدة‎‎ ''El Qāhera El Gedīda''), established in 2000, covers a vast area in the far east of the city. Its current population is around 200,000, but it's planned for an eventual population of 5 million. ==Get in== Heliopolis is located between Cairo International Airport and central Cairo and is reachable from downtown by the [[Cairo#By metro|metro]]'s line 3. The antiquated tram system that once ran to Heliopolis was removed in 2015. * {{go | name=Adly Mansour Transportation Hub | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=30.1465 | long=31.4213 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata= | lastedit=2022-06-05 | content=Eastern terminus of Metro Line 3, connections are made here for commuter rail from the [[New Administrative Capital (Egypt)|New Administrative Capital]], intercity passenger trains from [[Port Suez]] and regional BRT. }} ==See== {{mapframe|30.0851|31.3087|zoom=12}} {{Mapmask | 30.16837,31.50949 |30.16029,31.46529 |30.14180,31.40031 |30.13987,31.39070 |30.13542,31.38469 |30.12829,31.36512 |30.12785,31.35757 |30.12488,31.34882 |30.10766,31.32478 |30.09964,31.31448 |30.08783,31.30002 |30.08411,31.29594 |30.08204,31.29861 |30.08062,31.29998 |30.07906,31.29972 |30.07312,31.30204 |30.06101,31.30805 |30.05856,31.31092 |30.05641,31.31195 |30.05225,31.31152 |30.04883,31.31238 |30.03709,31.31513 |30.03367,31.31255 |30.03189,31.30749 |30.03011,31.29951 |30.02922,31.29187 |30.02721,31.28620 |30.02453,31.28234 |30.02141,31.27805 |30.02000,31.27496 |30.01621,31.27402 |30.01398,31.27513 |30.00870,31.28354 |30.00424,31.29298 |30.00090,31.29951 |29.99822,31.31006 |29.99770,31.32079 |29.99674,31.32860 |29.99361,31.34328 |29.98068,31.36148 |29.97384,31.37401 |29.96863,31.41933 |29.96596,31.45606 |29.94781,31.49589 |29.94960,31.51683 |29.98856,31.57279 |30.02067,31.57348 |30.04742,31.55357 |30.07773,31.52541 |30.09808,31.51820 |30.16837,31.50949 }} {{mapshapes|Q685381}} * {{see | name=Korba area | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=30.09060 | long=31.32387 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=The old center of Heliopolis, with beautiful Andalusian style architecture and lots of old churches and cultural centres from the days of cosmopolitan, multicultural Cairo. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=Baron Empain Palace | alt= | url= | email= | address=al-Uruba St | lat=30.086667 | long=31.330278 | directions=Near Koleyet El Banat metro stop (line 3) | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q808618 | content=Erected by Baron Empain, this utterly bizarre structure was inspired by Angkor Wat and the Hindu temples of Orissa (now known as [[Odisha]]), and looks thoroughly out of place in Cairo.

The most prominent communities are Heliopolis, Nasr City, and New Cairo. Cairo International Airport is also located in this area, just to the east of Heliopolis. '''Heliopolis''' (مصر الجديدة ''Masr el-Gedida'', lit. "New Egypt" or "New Cairo") is the oldest district, established in 1905 not far from the ancient city of Heliopolis (which is located to the [[Cairo/North|northwest]]). The ancient city was dedicated to the god Atum, but it declined after the Persians took over control of Egypt in 525 BC. Modern Heliopolis was established in 1907 by the Belgian Baron Empain, with a streetcar line running between Heliopolis and central Cairo. It's one of the nicest places to live in [[Cairo]], but there isn't much to visit as a tourist. The main reason to stay here is the proximity to the airport. '''Nasr City''' was established by Gamal Abdel Nasser in the 1960s. It was intended to be a new capital city, but never developed as planned. It now has a socially mixed population including many immigrants, and is an economic center containing many shopping malls. '''New Cairo''' (القاهرة الجديدة‎‎ ''El Qāhera El Gedīda''), established in 2000, covers a vast area in the far east of the city. Its current population is around 200,000, but it's planned for an eventual population of 5 million. ==Get in== Heliopolis is located between Cairo International Airport and central Cairo and is reachable from downtown by the [[Cairo#By metro|metro]]'s line 3. The antiquated tram system that once ran to Heliopolis was removed in 2015. * {{go | name=Adly Mansour Transportation Hub | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=30.1465 | long=31.4213 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata= | lastedit=2022-06-05 | content=Eastern terminus of Metro Line 3, connections are made here for commuter rail from the [[New Administrative Capital (Egypt)|New Administrative Capital]], intercity passenger trains from [[Port Suez]] and regional BRT. }} ==See== {{mapframe|30.0851|31.3087|zoom=12}} {{Mapmask | 30.16837,31.50949 |30.16029,31.46529 |30.14180,31.40031 |30.13987,31.39070 |30.13542,31.38469 |30.12829,31.36512 |30.12785,31.35757 |30.12488,31.34882 |30.10766,31.32478 |30.09964,31.31448 |30.08783,31.30002 |30.08411,31.29594 |30.08204,31.29861 |30.08062,31.29998 |30.07906,31.29972 |30.07312,31.30204 |30.06101,31.30805 |30.05856,31.31092 |30.05641,31.31195 |30.05225,31.31152 |30.04883,31.31238 |30.03709,31.31513 |30.03367,31.31255 |30.03189,31.30749 |30.03011,31.29951 |30.02922,31.29187 |30.02721,31.28620 |30.02453,31.28234 |30.02141,31.27805 |30.02000,31.27496 |30.01621,31.27402 |30.01398,31.27513 |30.00870,31.28354 |30.00424,31.29298 |30.00090,31.29951 |29.99822,31.31006 |29.99770,31.32079 |29.99674,31.32860 |29.99361,31.34328 |29.98068,31.36148 |29.97384,31.37401 |29.96863,31.41933 |29.96596,31.45606 |29.94781,31.49589 |29.94960,31.51683 |29.98856,31.57279 |30.02067,31.57348 |30.04742,31.55357 |30.07773,31.52541 |30.09808,31.51820 |30.16837,31.50949 }} {{mapshapes|Q685381}} * {{see | name=Korba area | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=30.09060 | long=31.32387 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=The old center of Heliopolis, with beautiful Andalusian style architecture and lots of old churches and cultural centres from the days of cosmopolitan, multicultural Cairo. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=Baron Empain Palace | alt= | url= | email= | address=al-Uruba St | lat=30.086667 | long=31.330278 | directions=Near Koleyet El Banat metro stop (line 3) | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q808618 | content=Erected by Baron Empain, this utterly bizarre structure was inspired by Angkor Wat and the Hindu temples of Orissa (now known as [[Odisha]]), and looks thoroughly out of place in Cairo.

The most prominent communities are Heliopolis, Nasr City, and New Cairo. Cairo International Airport is also located in this area, just to the east of Heliopolis. '''Heliopolis''' (مصر الجديدة ''Masr el-Gedida'', lit. "New Egypt" or "New Cairo") is the oldest district, established in 1905 not far from the ancient city of Heliopolis (which is located to the [[Cairo/North|northwest]]). The ancient city was dedicated to the god Atum, but it declined after the Persians took over control of Egypt in 525 BC. Modern Heliopolis was established in 1907 by the Belgian Baron Empain, with a streetcar line running between Heliopolis and central Cairo. It's one of the nicest places to live in [[Cairo]], but there isn't much to visit as a tourist. The main reason to stay here is the proximity to the airport. '''Nasr City''' was established by Gamal Abdel Nasser in the 1960s. It was intended to be a new capital city, but never developed as planned. It now has a socially mixed population including many immigrants, and is an economic center containing many shopping malls. '''New Cairo''' (القاهرة الجديدة‎‎ ''El Qāhera El Gedīda''), established in 2000, covers a vast area in the far east of the city. Its current population is around 200,000, but it's planned for an eventual population of 5 million. ==Get in== Heliopolis is located between Cairo International Airport and central Cairo and is reachable from downtown by the [[Cairo#By metro|metro]]'s line 3.

The district is quite picturesque both along its shoreline and in its interior parts and is a popular summer resort. Dikili is a seaside fishing town that is made up of mainly holiday villas and a few hotels. The charming centre with cobbled streets has restaurants, bars and shops. ==Get in== {{mapframe | 39.075 | 26.895 | height=650 | width=550 | zoom=14 }} The center town of Dikili is about 120 km (75 mi) north of [[İzmir]], served by a good road. The notable township of Çandarlı (ancient Pitane) is a depending center and is located close to Dikili. Dikili has a fine port large enough to accommodate three passenger ships simultaneously, and the port has good land transport connections. The drive into Dikili from Izmir (once out of the city) offers some spectacular scenery. For most of the journey it is a straight road. Dikili becomes largely deserted in the winter, except for the die-hard residents that live there all year round. Ferries from Mytilene on the Greek island of [[Lesvos]] take 90 min. ==Get around== ==See== The whole area of the district abounds in places of natural beauty as well as spots of historical interest. There is a crater lake in Merdivenli village, and ancient caverns in Demirtaş and Delitaş villages as well as pine forests extending towards the Madra Stream. The area is also famous for its thermal springs, which are in Nebiler, Bademli and Kocaoba villages. Furthermore, the beaches in Bademli and Denizköy localities are important touristic attractions of the region. Dikili also has a rich history extending back to prehistory, and the ancient and as yet unexplored site of Atarneus is located nearby. The site is called "Atarna" locally. A small islet within Dikili district (called Garip Adası locally, with ancient sources also citing the name Argounissai) made international headlines in April 2007. The islet is offered for sale by its proprietors and ''The Guardian'' reported the Greek islanders of Lesbos raising money among themselves to buy the islet. The scenery consists of mountains, olive groves, vineyards and cotton fields. See the people working the land; horses and carts are still widely in use. Alternatively, how about the sight of a tractor with about 20 workers hanging on for dear life. This is where you start to get a feel for real Turkish life. ==Do== Many cruise ships call at Dikili as a base for visits to [[Pergamon ]]. ==Buy== ==Eat== Eat fish, vegetables and mezes. Drink raki (Turkish ouzo) whilst watching sun going down. ==Drink== ==Sleep== There are a few hotels, pensions and private villas. There are several hotels and pensions in Çandarlı that you can stay for very low prices. Candarli is about 15 minutes to Dikili by bus.

The notable township of Çandarlı (ancient Pitane) is a depending center and is located close to Dikili. The drive into Dikili from Izmir (once out of the city) offers some spectacular scenery. For most of the journey it is a straight road. Dikili becomes largely deserted in the winter, except for the die-hard residents that live there all year round.

The district is quite picturesque both along its shoreline and in its interior parts and is a popular summer resort. Dikili is a seaside fishing town that is made up of mainly holiday villas and a few hotels. The charming centre with cobbled streets has restaurants, bars and shops. == Get in == {{mapframe | 39.075 | 26.895 | height=650 | width=550 | zoom=14 }} Dikili is 120 km (75 mi) north of [[İzmir]], follow E87 / O-33. Driving from Istanbul, follow O-7 then O-5 past Bursa to Soma, then D240 west to the coast. Buses from Istanbul run every couple of hours, heading for Izmir, and take 8 hours for an adult single fare in 2022 of 450 TL. Buses from Çanakkale take 3 hours, 65 TL. Operators on these routes include [https://www.metroturizm.com.tr/ Metro Turizm], [https://www.pamukkale.com.tr/ Pamukkale] and Flix Bus. From Izmir look for a local bus or dolmuş. {{marker | name=Dikili Terminal | type=go | lat=39.0798 | long=26.8960 }} is the inter-city bus station, 2 km northeast of the centre. However a local bus might drop you downtown. Ferries no longer sail to Dikili from the Greek island of [[Lesvos]] - travel via [[Ayvalık]]. Cruise ships often call, bussing their passengers to nearby Pergamon. With your own boat, make sure you know where the international boundary lies, and clear Turkish immigration and customs. {{marker | name=Dikili port | type=go | lat=39.0706 | long=26.8868 }} is central in town. == Get around == Bus 837 runs roughly hourly from Dikili Terminal to town centre and the port, then south to Demirtaş, Deliktaş, Çandarlı and Aliağa. For Bademli and the coast road to Denizköy look for a dolmuş, but you might need a taxi. There's no bus this way - timetables you see online are referring to Bademli the north suburb of Bursa. == See == The whole area of the district abounds in places of natural beauty as well as spots of historical interest. There are ancient caverns in Demirtaş and Delitaş villages as well as pine forests extending towards the Madra Stream. The area is also famous for its thermal springs, which are in Nebiler, Bademli and Kocaoba villages.

It is also spoken in parts of [[Himachal Pradesh]] & Northern [[Punjab]]. Dogri is a Western Pahari language. All the Western Pahari languages form a dialect chain from Himachal Pradesh through Jammu and up to [[Azad Kashmir]] in [[Pakistan]]. The dialects spoken in Azad Kashmir and Rajouri, Jammu and Kashmir are not classified as Western Pahari; they are classified under Western Punjabi. Sindhi, Lahnda, Punjabi, and Western Pahari form a dialect continuum with no clear-cut boundaries. However, most people understand [[Hindustani]] in North India and Pakistan. Thus, majority of Dogri speakers speak [[Hindi]] or [[Urdu]] as a second language. ==Pronunciation and alphabet guide== Dogri is written using either [[Devanagari]] script or Persian variant of the Arabic script. It was historically written in Dogra variant of the Takri script. ===Devanagari=== Devanagari writing is often likened to a washing line: a line is drawn above the words, and the letters are hung out to dry below the line. A break in the line indicates a break between words. Devanagari is classified as an abugida, which means that each character represents a syllable, not a single letter as in English. If the character is a consonant, the implicit vowel following it is assumed to be a, unless modified by special vowel signs added above, below, after or even before the character. ====Vowels==== Each vowel has two forms: an "isolated" form when beginning a word or following another vowel; and another used within a word by use of diacritics called मात्रा ''mātra''. As an example, the forms used with consonants are placed with the letter त्. Note that if there is no vowel sign, the vowel is assumed to be ''a''. {| class="wikitable" !Devanagari !Transliteration !Equivalent !Within Word |- |अ||a||as in '''a'''bout||त (implicit) |- |आ||ā||as in f'''a'''ther||ता |- |इ||i||as in s'''i'''t||ति |- |ई||ī||as in el'''i'''te|| ती |- |उ||u||as in p'''u'''t||तु |- |ऊ||&#363;||as in fl'''u'''te||तू |- |ए||e||long '''e''' as in German "zehn".

These happen when two or more consonants are joined together (with no vowel between). Upon seeing all these, the new learner might gasp, thinking that they will have to memorize each one as if they were Chinese ideograms. The good news is that most of these are quite simple and merely involve dropping the inherent 'a' stem. e.g.: * त् + म = त्म * न् + द = न्द * स् + क = स्क However there are a few special constructions. For many of these, you may also use the previous method though. e.g. * त् + त = त्त * क् + ल = क्ल Most often odd forms arise, in consonants without a stem. e.g. * द् + भ = द्भ * ह् + ल = ह्ल * ट् + ठ = ट्ठ Do not worry too much about conjuncts though, you may always suppress the inherent 'a' with a halant. Another thing which causes problems for new learners is the use of र, which is treated as a vowel as in Hindi it is a "semi-vowel." There are three forms for conjuncting र, and one for ऋ: 1. After a consonant with a stem add a slash from the lower half of the stem (top-down, right-left). e.g.: * प् + र = प्र * क् + र = क्र * ग् + र = ग्र note: * श+ र = श्र * त् + र = त्र. 2. After a vowel and before a consonant र is written as a small hook (a good mnemonic trick is to picture a stylized lower case ''r''). This conjunct cannot occur alone, nor begin a word. Therefore, an example shall be given within the context of words: * गर्म ''hot'' * सिर्फ़ ''only'' * कर्म ''karma'' (In Sanskrit, the last inherent vowel is not written long as it is in Hindi) If followed by ''ā'', ''ī'', ''e'', ''o'', or ''ai'' the "hook" is moved one letter to the right, e.g. the name ''Marco'' would be written: मॉर्को. 3. In most letters without stems, the र is joined to the consonant by placing a circumflex-like diacritic below the letter, e.g.: * द् + र = द्र * ट् + र + ट्र * ड् + र = ड्र 4. ऋ, when preceded by a consonant, is written as a small hook resembling the Polish ogonek attached to the stem. Only occurs in Sanskrit loan words, most notably the word ''Sanskrit'' itself: संस्कृत. Finally, र has two special forms when followed by '''u''', and '''ū''' respectively: * रु ''ru'' * रू ''rū'' ====Avagraha==== The avagraha ऽ अऽ (usually transliterated with an apostrophe) is a Sanskrit punctuation mark for the elision of a vowel in sandhi: एकोऽयम् eko'yam ( ← ekas + ayam) "this one". It is used to pronounce the vowel a little longer. It is usually found at the end of the words in Dogri : त्राऽ (tra) "shock" . ===Nasta'līq=== {| class="wikitable floatright" style=text-align:center ! colspan="5" | Nasta'liq consonants |- !

An abjad does not write short vowels, except at the beginning of a word with ''alif''' serving as a place holder. This can make it frustrating for the learner as the words ''I'' and ''in'' are both written ميں in Dogri. Dogri is also written in a stylized form of the Arabic script called '''nast'alīq''' (نستعليق). Developed in Persia, it is still used for religious and poetic calligraphy in Iran today. The script is mainly used to write Urdu and the Pahari dialects on the west of Standard Dogri. Therefore, if you want to read an Urdu newspaper, street sign, etc. you will have to learn to read nastaliq, which can prove difficult for the beginner. As a result, a simpler style called Nas<u>kh</u> (نسخ), as used in other languages using the Arabic abjad will be used for two reasons: 1. to ease the learner into ''nastaliq'', and 2. because Unicode does not support nast'aliq. Vowel diacritics do exist, mostly used to modify the ''alif'' vowel holder at the beginning of a word but also used for educational purposes, in the Qur'ān, and for clarifying ambiguous spellings. The Arabic system of writing is cursive. Most letters have four forms. Others, which do not attach to the letter coming next to them, have only two. These forms are quite self-explanatory: initial, medial, final, and isolated. When written alone letters are written in their isolated form. Example: *پ + آ + ك + س + ت + آ + ن when these isolated letters are joined together they look like this: *پاكستان, Pākistān ====Vowels==== At the beginning of a word ''alif'' serves as a placeholder for the diacritical mark. Due to directional issues with unicode the medial/final occurs before the initial example, when they should appear ''after'', i.e., to the ''left'' of the letter. A final ﻪ is sometimes used do represent an inherent 'a' at the end of a word (c.f. Arabic usage). When ''choṭī ye'' and ''baṛī ye'' occur in the middle, both take the ﻴ form. For further reference, in Urdu transliteration ''ai'' is ''ae'' and ''au'' is ''ao.'' {| class="wikitable" style=text-align:center ! Vowel symbol ! !

It was a crucial harbour for goods from the far east (silk, spices) which got transported with caravans to the Nile. On the way back the caravans brought pilgrims and wheat to ship them to the Arabian peninsula. The city of around 18,000 people is surrounded by coral reefed beaches, and hotels. We probably live in the early stages of this coast becoming another [[Sharm el-Sheikh|Sharm]].

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''bah-BAH eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''lah-LAH-kee'' or also pronounced as ''lah-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''LOO-gahr'') ; Name: Pangalan (''pah-NGAH-lahn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''pah-LAH-yao'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tee-RAH-hahn'') ; Age : Edad (''EH-dahd'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kah-sah-REE-ahn'') ; School : Paaralan (''pah ah-RAH-lahn'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''teen-DAH-hahn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''kah ah-RAH-wahn'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kah-PAH-ngah-NAH-kahn'') ; Child : Anak (''AH-nahk'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tah'') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''mah-TAHN-dah'') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-SEE-kehl'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''JEEP-nee'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-law'') ; Water : Tubig (''too-BEEG'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''OOH-pooh-AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yah'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-lah'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nah'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''SEE-leed'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tah'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lee-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''LAH-rah-WAHN'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dyoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''ah EER-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-BEE-syohn'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''pree-JEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''PEEN-toh'') ; Window : Bintana (''been-TAH-nah'') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kah ee-BEE-gahn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''EE-nah'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''AH-mah'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kah-PAH-teed nah lah-LAH-kee'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kah-PAH-teed nah bah-BAH-eh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''KAH-mahg-AH-nahk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-peet-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''ah-SAH-wahng bah-BAH-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''ah-SAH-wahng lah-LAH-kee'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byah'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''KAH-seen-TAH-hahn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''mah-GAHN-dah'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-gee'') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAHN-geet'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tee'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-SAH-mah'') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''mah-tah-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''mah-TAHNG-kahd'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''mah-LEE-eet'') ; Clean : Malinis (''mah-LEE-nees'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''mah-DOO-mee'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''mah-SAH-rahp'') ; Bland : Matabang (''mah-TAH-bahng'') ; Large : Malaki (''mah-LAH-kee'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kah-tahm-TAH-mahn'') ; Small : Maliit (''mah-LEE eet'') ; Cold : Malamig (''mah-LAH-meeg'') ; Hot : Mainit (''mah EE-neet'') ; Happy : Masaya (''mah-SAH-yah'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''mah-LOONG-koht'') ; Far : Malayo (''mah-LAH-yoh'') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mah-LAH-peet'') ; Strong : Malakas (''mah-LAH-kahs'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''mah-EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tah-HEE-meek'') ; High : Mataas (''mah-TAH-ahs'') ; Low : Mababa (''mah-BAH-tah'') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''mah-TAHN-dah'') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-mah'') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''DOH-ohn'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah LAH-bahs'') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah LOH-ohb'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ee-TAH-ahs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ee-BAH-bah'') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah LEE-kohd'') ; Next : Katabi (''kah-TAH-bee'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-TAH-bee'') ; Front : Harapan (''hah-RAH-pahn'') ; Back : Likuran (''lee-KOO-rahn'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kee'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tee-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-REE-'ahn'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-ah-rah-lahn'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''teen-DAH-hihn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''kah AH-ruh-wuhn''-wahn'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH'') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-SEE-kehl'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nee'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-beeg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yah'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-lah'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nah'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tah'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lee-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bee-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''pree-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''peen-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''been-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kah-ee-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ee-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kee'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kah-pah-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-peet-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''ah-SAH-wahng bah-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''ah-SAH-wahng luh-LAH-kee'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-seen-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''mah-GAHN-dah'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-gee'') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAHN-geet'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tee'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-SAH-mah'') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''mah-tah-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''mah-TAHNG-kahd'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''mah-LEE-eet'') ; Clean : Malinis (''mah-LEE-nees'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''mah-DOO-mee'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''mah-SAH-rahp'') ; Bland : Matabang (''mah-TAH-bahng'') ; Large : Malaki (''mah-LAH-kee'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kah-tahm-TAH-mahn'') ; Small : Maliit (''mah-LEE eet'') ; Cold : Malamig (''mah-LAH-meeg'') ; Hot : Mainit (''mah EE-neet'') ; Happy : Masaya (''mah-SAH-yah'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''mah-LOONG-koht'') ; Far : Malayo (''mah-LAH-yoh'') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mah-LAH-peet'') ; Strong : Malakas (''mah-LAH-kahs'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''mah-EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tah-HEE-meek'') ; High : Mataas (''mah-TAH-ahs'') ; Low : Mababa (''mah-BAH-tah'') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''mah-TAHN-dah'') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-mah'') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''DOH-ohn'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah LAH-bahs'') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah LOH-ohb'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ee-TAH-ahs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ee-BAH-bah'') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah LEE-kohd'') ; Next : Katabi (''kah-TAH-bee'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-TAH-bee'') ; Front : Harapan (''hah-RAH-pahn'') ; Back : Likuran (''lee-KOO-rahn'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kee'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tee-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-REE-'ahn'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-ah-rah-lahn'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''teen-DAH-hihn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''kah AH-ruh-wuhn''-wahn'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH'') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-SEE-kehl'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nee'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-beeg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yah'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-lah'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nah'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tah'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lee-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bee-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''pree-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''peen-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''been-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kah-ee-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ee-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kee'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kah-pah-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-peet-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''ah-SAH-wahng bah-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''ah-SAH-wahng luh-LAH-kee'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-seen-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked.

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?"

Although its use is very limited in [[Manila]] and the northern ''Katagalugan'' (Tagalog homeland), many people use it in Southern Luzon, especially in Batangas, Cavite and Laguna. ''Po'' (or ''ho'') and ''opo'' (or ''oho'') is most commonly heard to show respect to elders or superiors.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kee'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tee-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-REE-'ahn'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-ah-rah-lahn'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''teen-DAH-hihn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''kah AH-ruh-wuhn''-wahn'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH'') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-SEE-kehl'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nee'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-beeg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yah'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-lah'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nah'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tah'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lee-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bee-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''pree-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''peen-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''been-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kah-ee-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ee-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kee'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kah-pah-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-peet-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''ah-SAH-wahng bah-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''ah-SAH-wahng luh-LAH-kee'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-seen-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mah-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-lah-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tah-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''mah-tah-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''mah-BAH-bah''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''mah-tahn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-mah''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''DOH-ohn'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah LAH-bahs'') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah LOH-ohb'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ee-TAH-ahs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ee-BAH-bah'') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah LEE-kohd'') ; Next : Katabi (''kah-TAH-bee'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-TAH-bee'') ; Front : Harapan (''hah-RAH-pahn'') ; Back : Likuran (''lee-KOO-rahn'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kee'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tee-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-REE-'ahn'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-ah-rah-lahn'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''teen-DAH-hihn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''kah AH-ruh-wuhn''-wahn'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH'') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-SEE-kehl'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nee'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-beeg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yah'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-lah'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nah'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tah'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lee-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bee-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''pree-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''peen-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''been-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kah-ee-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ee-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kee'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kah-pah-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-peet-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''ah-SAH-wahng bah-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''ah-SAH-wahng luh-LAH-kee'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-seen-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mah-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-lah-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tah-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''mah-tah-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''mah-BAH-bah''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''mah-tahn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-mah''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''DOH-ohn'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah LAH-bahs'') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah LOH-ohb'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ee-TAH-ahs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ee-BAH-bah'') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah LEE-kohd'') ; Next : Katabi (''kah-TAH-bee'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-TAH-bee'') ; Front : Harapan (''hah-RAH-pahn'') ; Back : Likuran (''lee-KOO-rahn'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

Most often this means ''have/has/there are'' rather than a direct ''yes''. ; May mga bata sa paaralan. : There are kids in the school. ; May barya ka ba para sa piso? : Do you have change for a peso? Add ''po'' at (or near) the end of a sentence or question to make it formal and polite.

(formal) &nbsp; <u>It is important to note that "opo" (po) and "oho" (ho) are used only to be polite to one's elders.</u>&nbsp; ''Ho'' (not used in this phrasebook) is a dialectal version of ''po'' and can virtually always be interchanged with it. Although its use is very limited in [[Manila]] and the northern ''Katagalugan'' (Tagalog homeland), many people use it in Southern Luzon, especially in Batangas, Cavite and Laguna. ''Po'' (or ''ho'') and ''opo'' (or ''oho'') is most commonly heard to show respect to elders or superiors. ''Po'' (and ''ho'') are incompatible with ''ka'' and ''ikaw'' (use ''kayo'') and with ''mo'' (use ''nila''). ; Yes (logical): Oo ('''OH-'oh'') (informal) &nbsp; : Opo ('''OH-poh''') (formal) ; No (logical) : Hindi (''hihn-DEH''') (informal) : Hindi po (''hihn-DEE poh''') (formal) ; Yes (''to have'' or ''there are some'') : Mayroon (''MAI-roh ohn'') (informal, also 'Meron' (''MEH-rohn'')) : Mayroon po (''MAI-roh-'ohn poh''') (formal) ; No (''to not have'' or ''there is none'') : Wala (''wuh-LAH''') (informal) : Wala po (''wuh-LAH' poh''') (formal) ; I don't know : Hindi ko alam.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mah-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-lah-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tah-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''mah-tah-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''mah-BAH-bah''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''mah-tahn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-mah''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''DOH-ohn'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah LAH-bahs'') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah LOH-ohb'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ee-TAH-ahs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ee-BAH-bah'') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah LEE-kohd'') ; Next : Katabi (''kah-TAH-bee'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-TAH-bee'') ; Front : Harapan (''hah-RAH-pahn'') ; Back : Likuran (''lee-KOO-rahn'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mih-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-luh-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tuh-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''muh-tuh-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''muh-BAH-buh''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-muh''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''DOH-ohn'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah LAH-bahs'') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah LOH-ohb'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ee-TAH-ahs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ee-BAH-bah'') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah LEE-kohd'') ; Next : Katabi (''kah-TAH-bee'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-TAH-bee'') ; Front : Harapan (''hah-RAH-pahn'') ; Back : Likuran (''lee-KOO-rahn'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

(formal) &nbsp; <u>It is important to note that "opo" (po) and "oho" (ho) are used only to be polite to one's elders.</u>&nbsp; ''Ho'' (not used in this phrasebook) is a dialectal version of ''po'' and can virtually always be interchanged with it. Although its use is very limited in [[Manila]] and the northern ''Katagalugan'' (Tagalog homeland), many people use it in Southern Luzon, especially in Batangas, Cavite and Laguna. ''Po'' (or ''ho'') and ''opo'' (or ''oho'') is most commonly heard to show respect to elders or superiors. ''Po'' (and ''ho'') are incompatible with ''ka'' and ''ikaw'' (use ''kayo'') and with ''mo'' (use ''nila''). ; Yes (logical): Oo ('''OH-'oh'') (informal) &nbsp; : Opo ('''OH-poh''') (formal) ; No (logical) : Hindi (''hihn-DEH''') (informal) : Hindi po (''hihn-DEE poh''') (formal) ; Yes (''to have'' or ''there are some'') : Mayroon (''MAI-roh ohn'') (informal, also 'Meron' (''MEH-rohn'')) : Mayroon po (''MAI-roh-'ohn poh''') (formal) ; No (''to not have'' or ''there is none'') : Wala (''wuh-LAH''') (informal) : Wala po (''wuh-LAH' poh''') (formal) ; I don't know : Hindi ko alam.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mih-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-luh-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tuh-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''muh-tuh-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''muh-BAH-buh''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-muh''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''doh-'OHN'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah luh-BAHS'''') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah loh-'OHB'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ih-TAH-uhs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ih-bah-BAH''') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah lih-KOHD'''') ; Next : Katabi (''kuh-tuh-BEE'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-tuh-BEE'') ; Front : Harapan (''huh-ruh-PAHN'') ; Back : Likuran (''lih-koo-RAHN'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mih-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-luh-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tuh-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''muh-tuh-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''muh-BAH-buh''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-muh''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''doh-'OHN'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah luh-BAHS'''') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah loh-'OHB'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ih-TAH-uhs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ih-bah-BAH''') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah lih-KOHD'''') ; Next : Katabi (''kuh-tuh-BEE'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-tuh-BEE'') ; Front : Harapan (''huh-ruh-PAHN'') ; Back : Likuran (''lih-koo-RAHN'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

''Po'' (or ''ho'') and ''opo'' (or ''oho'') is most commonly heard to show respect to elders or superiors.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl).

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon".

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mih-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-luh-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tuh-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''muh-tuh-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''muh-BAH-buh''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-muh''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''doh-'OHN'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah luh-BAHS'''') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah loh-'OHB'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ih-TAH-uhs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ih-bah-BAH''') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah lih-KOHD'''') ; Next : Katabi (''kuh-tuh-BEE'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-tuh-BEE'') ; Front : Harapan (''huh-ruh-PAHN'') ; Back : Likuran (''lih-koo-RAHN'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mih-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-luh-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tuh-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''muh-tuh-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''muh-BAH-buh''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-muh''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''doh-'OHN'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah luh-BAHS'''') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah loh-'OHB'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ih-TAH-uhs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ih-bah-BAH''') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah lih-KOHD'''') ; Next : Katabi (''kuh-tuh-BEE'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-tuh-BEE'') ; Front : Harapan (''huh-ruh-PAHN'') ; Back : Likuran (''lih-koo-RAHN'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mih-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-luh-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tuh-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''muh-tuh-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''muh-BAH-buh''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-muh''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''doh-'OHN'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah luh-BAHS'''') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah loh-'OHB'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ih-TAH-uhs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ih-bah-BAH''') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah lih-KOHD'''') ; Next : Katabi (''kuh-tuh-BEE'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-tuh-BEE'') ; Front : Harapan (''huh-ruh-PAHN'') ; Back : Likuran (''lih-koo-RAHN'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl).

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip".

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mih-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-luh-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tuh-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''muh-tuh-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''muh-BAH-buh''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-muh''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''doh-'OHN'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah luh-BAHS'''') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah loh-'OHB'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ih-TAH-uhs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ih-bah-BAH''') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah lih-KOHD'''') ; Next : Katabi (''kuh-tuh-BEE'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-tuh-BEE'') ; Front : Harapan (''huh-ruh-PAHN'') ; Back : Likuran (''lih-koo-RAHN'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mih-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-luh-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tuh-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''muh-tuh-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''muh-BAH-buh''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-muh''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''doh-'OHN'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah luh-BAHS'''') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah loh-'OHB'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ih-TAH-uhs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ih-bah-BAH''') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah lih-KOHD'''') ; Next : Katabi (''kuh-tuh-BEE'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-tuh-BEE'') ; Front : Harapan (''huh-ruh-PAHN'') ; Back : Likuran (''lih-koo-RAHN'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mih-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-luh-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tuh-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''muh-tuh-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''muh-BAH-buh''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-muh''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''doh-'OHN'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah luh-BAHS'''') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah loh-'OHB'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ih-TAH-uhs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ih-bah-BAH''') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah lih-KOHD'''') ; Next : Katabi (''kuh-tuh-BEE'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-tuh-BEE'') ; Front : Harapan (''huh-ruh-PAHN'') ; Back : Likuran (''lih-koo-RAHN'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mih-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-luh-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tuh-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''muh-tuh-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''muh-BAH-buh''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-muh''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''doh-'OHN'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah luh-BAHS'''') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah loh-'OHB'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ih-TAH-uhs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ih-bah-BAH''') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah lih-KOHD'''') ; Next : Katabi (''kuh-tuh-BEE'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-tuh-BEE'') ; Front : Harapan (''huh-ruh-PAHN'') ; Back : Likuran (''lih-koo-RAHN'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

''Po'' (or ''ho'') and ''opo'' (or ''oho'') is most commonly heard to show respect to elders or superiors.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mih-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-luh-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tuh-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''muh-tuh-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''muh-BAH-buh''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-muh''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''doh-'OHN'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah luh-BAHS'''') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah loh-'OHB'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ih-TAH-uhs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ih-bah-BAH''') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah lih-KOHD'''') ; Next : Katabi (''kuh-tuh-BEE'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-tuh-BEE'') ; Front : Harapan (''huh-ruh-PAHN'') ; Back : Likuran (''lih-koo-RAHN'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

''Po'' (or ''ho'') and ''opo'' (or ''oho'') is most commonly heard to show respect to elders or superiors.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl).

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mih-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-luh-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tuh-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''muh-tuh-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''muh-BAH-buh''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-muh''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''doh-'OHN'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah luh-BAHS'''') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah loh-'OHB'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ih-TAH-uhs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ih-bah-BAH''') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah lih-KOHD'''') ; Next : Katabi (''kuh-tuh-BEE'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-tuh-BEE'') ; Front : Harapan (''huh-ruh-PAHN'') ; Back : Likuran (''lih-koo-RAHN'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters.

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mih-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-luh-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tuh-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''muh-tuh-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''muh-BAH-buh''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-muh''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''doh-'OHN'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah luh-BAHS'''') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah loh-'OHB'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ih-TAH-uhs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ih-bah-BAH''') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah lih-KOHD'''') ; Next : Katabi (''kuh-tuh-BEE'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-tuh-BEE'') ; Front : Harapan (''huh-ruh-PAHN'') ; Back : Likuran (''lih-koo-RAHN'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mih-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-luh-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tuh-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''muh-tuh-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''muh-BAH-buh''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-muh''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''doh-'OHN'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah luh-BAHS'''') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah loh-'OHB'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ih-TAH-uhs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ih-bah-BAH''') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah lih-KOHD'''') ; Next : Katabi (''kuh-tuh-BEE'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-tuh-BEE'') ; Front : Harapan (''huh-ruh-PAHN'') ; Back : Likuran (''lih-koo-RAHN'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

Filipino is a modified version of '''Tagalog''' (''Wikang Tagalog''), the main language of southern [[Luzon]] and some nearby areas. Originally, Filipino was intended to include many words from the numerous other languages of the Philippine islands, but this project stalled. In reality nobody actually uses official Filipino, but rather plain Tagalog instead. About a quarter of the population of the Philippines speak Tagalog as a native language and many more understand it as a second language. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines, with English being the more prestigious of the two and exclusively used in court judgments and legislation, though the national anthem is in Tagalog. Filipino is widely used in schools throughout the islands, including regions where the local language is not Tagalog. Tagalog is a member of the Austronesian language family, fairly closely related to the other languages of the Philippines such as [[Cebuano]], and more distantly to [[Malay]]/[[Indonesian]] and various languages of the [[Oceania|Pacific islands]]. Due to European influences in the Philippines, it has loanwords from both Spanish and English, and is one of the few languages in Southeast Asia to use the Latin alphabet. Baybayin, the pre-colonial writing system is sometimes taught in schools, but not commonly used in everyday life, although the use of the script is growing in popularity and efforts are being made to revive it. ==Grammar== The main difference with its grammar is that it is not word-order transitive like English. For example, the sentence ''Jill gives the book to Tom'' in Tagalog can't tell who is giving to whom without the personal markers ''si'' and ''ni''. If an ''actor focus'' verb is used, Jill becomes ''si Jill'' (the subject), and Tom becomes ''ni Tom'' (the object). If a non-actor focus verb is used, then ''si'' and ''ni'' are reversed. This works something like active and passive voice in English, but neither form would seem passive in Tagalog. People learning Tagalog should take note that translations for the ''to be'' verbs, such as ''am, are, is'' may be confusing. This can be overcome in one of several ways: ; Use ''"ay"'' or ''"ay mga"'': This is may or may not be a verb depending on each person, but means "is equal to" but some Filipinos may consider this as a linking verb. Use ''"ay"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"ay mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Use ''"may"'' or ''"may mga"'': This is a verb which can mean "there is/are" or "has/have" (beginning of sentence only). Use ''"may"'' for before singular nouns and use ''"may mga"'' to indicate noun plurality. ; Skip it: Where not absolutely needed for meaning, it can be omitted &mdash; even though this sounds awful in English. ''Sino siya?'' literally ''who he?'' (or ''who she?'') The good news regarding word order in Filipino, is that you can juggle the words just about any which way and still be understood (assuming the personal markers are attached to the correct person). Also, it's easy to substitute similar words within simple sentences like those found in this phrasebook. However, the bad news is that ''proper'' word order has a steep learning curve and can be affected even by the number of syllables. Also, Filipino is notorious for its large number of complicated verb forms which require several words in English. The vast majority of Filipinos are either bilingual (Filipino and English) or trilingual (Filipino, English, and the native language of the speaker). English is one of the official languages of the Philippines and is overwhelmingly used as the main language of government, commerce, and education. Filipinos use Philippine English, an English variety based largely on US English, though it might be spoken with a distinct accent and contains certain colloquialisms and slang unique to it (e.g. the most common word for "toilet" or "bathroom" in the Philippines is the Philippine English "comfort room", usually shortened to the initials "CR"). Code-switching is also common in everyday speech, with most conversations incorporating both English and Filipino to a certain extent. Some English words are even used exclusively when using the Filipino equivalent can be considered too formal (e.g. "mall", "computer", "internet", "highway", "hotel", and "taxi"). If you are having trouble finding the correct word or phrase in Filipino, don't hesitate to switch to English. For example: instead of saying ''"Saan ang labasan?"'' (Where is the exit?), you can say either ''"Saan ang ''exit''?"'' or ''"''Where is the'' labasan"''. Note that similar to [[Malay phrasebook|Malay]], there are two equivalents of the English word "we" in Filipino. If you wish to include the person(s) you are addressing, the word to use will be ''táyo''. If the subject does not include your listener(s), the word to use will be ''kamí''. Social distance is considered when using the correct word for "you"; Tagalog uses "ikaw" as the common form, while "kayó" is used as the polite form, alongside the honorific "pô". Using them the other way around, for example, using "ikaw" to a superior, unless you know the person very well, is considered a breach of etiquette. The Batangas dialect follows the mainstream Tagalog convention, but it also uses the third-person "silá" as a very polite form, similar to how [[Italian phrasebook|Italian]] uses ''lei'' in polite speech. ==Pronunciation guide== {{infobox|Abbreviation (''ng'' and ''mga'')|Two very common words are always abbreviated: ; ng : pronounced ''nang'', genitive marker like English "of"<br>''Republika ng Pilipinas'' &rarr; Republic of the Philippines ; mga : pronounced ''mangá'', plural marker like English "-s"<br>''mga magulang'' &rarr; parents}} Although Filipino words may seem long and tongue-twisting at first, pronunciation is easier than in many other languages. Long words are almost always based on smaller root words. The only foreign sound is an initial ''ng'' found in a few words such as ''ngiti'' (smile). Unlike its neighboring languages (e.g. Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese), Filipino is ''not'' tonal. However, stressing the wrong syllable can often change the meaning of a word. Only very rarely does this occur in English (such as ''desert''/''dessert''). Meanings in such cases can be closely related such as ''buhay'' (alive or life) or totally unrelated such as ''hapon'' (afternoon or Japan). You have also the use of the glottal stop, which makes a pause between two vowels. The glottal stop is used much in Filipino language. A space will be provided for the glottal stop. ===Vowels=== ; a : like 'a' in "arrive" ; e : like 'e' in "ten" ; i : like 'i' in "fin" ; o : like 'o' in "dog" ; u : like 'oo' in "hoop" ===Consonants=== Although the Filipino alphabet contains 23 consonants, only 15 are in common use. This is a holdover from the days when the language was written in the "Abakada" alphabet, which only had 20 letters. ; b : like 'b' in "bed" ; k : like 'k' in "kid" ; d : like 'd' in "dog" ; g : like 'g' in "go" ; h : like 'h' in "help" ; l : like 'l' in "love" ; m : like 'm' in "mother" ; n : like 'n' in "nice" ; ng : like 'ng' in "fang", ''but'' pronounced 'nang' as a stand-alone word (though most English-speakers might classify is as two letters, it is considered as a single letter in Filipino as well as in other Asian languages) ; p : like 'p' in "pig" ; r : like 'r' in "row" or 'r' in "feather" ; s : like 's' in "sun" or 'z' in "haze" ; t : like 't' in "top" ; w : like 'w' in "weight" ; y : like 'y' in "yes", 'ie' in "pie", or 'ee' in "flee" In the 1970s, the alphabet was expanded to include 11 letters from the Spanish and English alphabets, and in 1987, the Spanish letters 'ch', 'll' and 'rr' were dropped, leaving only eight additional letters. Unlike the 15 common letters, these letters are normally found only in loanwords, slang and code-mixed speech. ; c : like 's' in "supper", 'k' in "kid" ; f : like 'f' in "fine" ; j : like 'dg' in "edge", 'h' in "ham" ; ñ : like 'ny' in "canyon" ; q : like 'q' in "quest" (almost always with 'u') ; v : like 'v' in "victory" ; x : like 'cks' in "kicks", like 'z' in "haze" (at beginning of a word) ; z : like 'z' in "haze" ===Diphthongs=== ; ay : like 'i' in "high": ''tatay'' (father) ; aw : like 'ow' in "cow": ''kalabaw'' (carabao/water buffalo) ; ey : like 'ay' in "say": ''reyna'' (queen) ; iw : like "ew" in "few": ''baliw'' (crazy) ; oy : like 'oy' in "boy": ''apoy'' (fire) ====Other sounds==== ; ts : as the 'ch' in "chip". Corresponds to the former letter 'ch', and usually found in Spanish loanwords. ; dy/diy : as the 'j' in "jeep" ; ly/liy : as the 'lli' in "million". ; ny/niy : as the 'ny' in "canyon". Corresponds to the letter 'ñ'. However, in certain words, such as ''tanyag'' (well-known), this is pronounced as two separate letters. ; sy/siy : as the 'sh' in "ship" ; ty/tiy : as the 'ch' in "chip" or as the 'ti' in "tienda". ==Phrase list== '''Stress:''' Many Filipino words are stressed on the '''second to last syllable''' ===Basics=== {{infobox|Common signs| ; OPEN: BUKAS (boo-KAHS) ; CLOSED: SARADO (suh-RAH-doh) ; ENTRANCE : PASUKAN (puh-SOO-kuhn).

Most of them occur in the most informal conversations. Some common ways of formation of LGBT slang are as follows: ;Replacing first letter[s] with ''j-'' or ''sh-'': :''asawa'' -> ''jowa'' :''pangit'' -> ''shonget'' ;Changing endings: : ''wala'' -> ''waley'' : ''babae'' -> ''bae'' -> ''besh'' }} Two ways to state ''yes'' and ''no'': in Tagalog, the question "Are you married?" is answered very differently from the question "Do you have children?" The key is the word "have" in the second question. Questions with "is/are there?" are also answered in this second way. ; oo (opo) : Yes, I'm married. ; hindi (po) : No, I'm not married. ; mayroon (po) : Yes, I have children. ; wala (po) : No, I don't have children. <br> ; Hello. :Kumusta.

The only exception is Spanish-origin words referring to a type of person or occupation. But even here, the article (''ang'', ''ng'', etc.) is gender neutral. Example: &nbsp; ''Ang abogado/a'' &nbsp; The lawyer or attorney (m/f). &nbsp; Ironically, Tagalog-origin words can even be more gender-neutral than English. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; ''kapatid'' &nbsp; brother or sister. For plurals, add ''mga'' immediately before the noun. &nbsp; Example: &nbsp; '''''Mga''' hayop'' &nbsp; Animal'''s'''. &nbsp; Adding ''s'' does '''not''' make anything plural, and is sometimes added on to Spanish nouns regardless of whether the topic is plural or not. Example: &nbsp; ''mansanas'' &nbsp; apple; &nbsp; ''mga mansanas''&nbsp; apples (from Spanish ''manzana''). One point of confusion is the word ''Filipinas''. It can mean either The Philippines (the country) or a group of females from the Philippines. ; Girl/Female: Babae (''buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Boy/Male : Lalaki (''luh-LAH-kih'' or also pronounced as ''luh-LAH-keh'') ; Animal : Hayop (''HAH-yohp'') ; Place : Lugar (''loo-GAHR'') ; Name: Pangalan (''puh-NGAH-luhn'') ; Nickname : Palayaw (''puh-LAH-yahw'') ; Surname : Apelyido (''ah-pehl-YEE-doh'') ; Address : Tirahan (''tih-RAH-huhn'') ; Age : Edad (''eh-DAHD'') ; Sex/Gender : Kasarian (''kuh-suh-ree-'AHN'') ; School : Paaralan (''PAH-'uh-ruh-LAHN'') ; Variety Store : Tindahan (''tihn-DAH-huhn'') ; Birthday : Kaarawan (''KAH-uh-ruh-WAHN'') ; Birthdate : Kapanganakan (''kuh-PAH-nguh-NAH-kuhn'') ; Child : Anak (''uh-NAHK'')(refers to son/daughter)/Bata (''BAH-tuh''') (refers to young child) ; Adult : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Tricycle : Traysikel (''trai-sih-KEHL'') ; Jeepney : Jeepney (''DZHEEP-nih'') ; Bus : Bus (''boos'') ; Train : Tren (''trehn'') ; Light : Ilaw (''EE-lahw'') ; Water : Tubig (''TOO-bihg'') ; Electricity : Kuryente (''koo-RYEHN-teh'') ; Table : Mesa (''MEH-sah'') ; Couch : Sofa (''SOH-fah'') ; Chair : Upuan (''ooh-pooh-'AHN'') or Silya (''SEEL-yuh'') ; Living room : Sala (''SAH-luh'') ; Kitchen : Kusina (''koo-SEE-nuh'') ; Bedroom : Kwarto (''KWAHR-toh'') or Silid (''sih-LEED'') ; Bathroom : Banyo (formal) (''BAH-nyoh'')/Kubeta (''koo-BEH-tuh'')(informal)/CR(casual) ; Picture : Litrato (''lih-TRAH-toh'') o Larawan (''luh-RAH-wuhn'') ; Radio : Radyo (''RAH-dzhoh'') ; Air Conditioner : Aircon (''EHR-kohn'') ; Television : Telebisyon (''teh-leh-bih-SHOHN'') ; Refrigirator : Pridyider (''prih-DZEE-dehr'') ; Faucet : Gripo (''GREE-poh'') ; Door : Pinto (''pihn-TOH''') ; Window : Bintana (''bihn-TAH-nuh''') ; Friend : Kaibigan (''kuh-ih-BEE-guhn'') ; Mother : Nanay (''NAH-nai'') or Ina (''ih-NAH'') ; Father : Tatay (''TAH-tai'') or Ama (''ah-MAH'') ; Brother : Kapatid na lalaki (''kuh-puh-TEED nah luh-LAH-kih'') : Kuya (''KOO-yuh'') ; Sister : Kapatid na babae (''kuh-puh-TEED nah buh-BAH'-eh'') : Ate ('''AH-teh'') ; Relative : Kamag-anak (''kuh-muhg-AH-nuhk'') ; Neighbor : Kapit-bahay (''KAH-piht-BAH-hai'') ; Wife : Asawang babae (''uh-SAH-wuhng buh-BAH'-eh'') ; Husband : Asawang lalaki (''uh-SAH-wuhng luh-LAH-kih'') ; Fiancee : Nobyo/Nobya(for female) (''NOH-byoh/NOH-byuh'') ; Girlfriend/Boyfriend: Kasintahan (''kuh-sihn-TAH-huhn'') ; Buddy : Pare (''PAH-reh'') ===Adjectives=== Separate adjectives are sometimes used to describe things and people (e.g. tall building, tall person). Adjectives without a noun are often ended with the article ''na'', which roughly translates as "already" or "now." This is usually dropped when translating back into English. ''Madumi na.'' [It's] dirty (now/already). In Tagalog, an article such as ''na'' or ''pa'' is required when no noun follows the adjective. ''Na'' is a bit more immediate (i.e. shorter time than expected) than ''pa'', but both have similar usage. Many nouns can become adjectives by adding the prefix '''''Ma''''', such as ''Dumi'' (dirt) becoming '''''Ma'''dumi'' (dirty). Adjective-noun pairs must be linked. ''Na'' (not the same ''na'' as above) is used if the adjective ends in a constant, and ''ng'' is used if it ends in a vowel. Maganda'''ng''' babae (beautiful girl). Malinis '''na''' kusina (clean kitchen). ; Beautiful : Maganda (''muh-guhn-DAH'') ; Handsome : Guwapo/Pogi (''goo-WAH-poh/POH-ghih''') ; Ugly : Pangit (''PAH-ngiht'') ; Good : Mabuti (''mah-BOO-tih'') ; Bad : Masama (''mah-sah-MAH''') ; Smart/Intelligent : Matalino (''muh-tuh-LEE-noh'') ; Tall (person) : Matangkad (''muh-tuhng-KAHD'') ; Short/Small : Maliit (''muh-lih-'EET'') ; Clean : Malinis (''muh-LEE-nihs'') ; Dirty : Madumi (''muh-doo-MEE'') ; Delicious : Masarap (''muh-suh-RAHP'') ; Bland : Matabang (''muh-tuh-BAHNG'') ; Large : Malaki (''muh-luh-KEE'') ; Medium : Katamtaman (''kuh-tuhm-TAH-muhn'') ; Small : Maliit (''muh-lih 'EET'') ; Cold : Malamig (''muh-luh-MEEG'') ; Hot : Mainit (''muh-'EE-niht'') ; Happy : Masaya (''muh-suh-YAH'') ; Sad/Lonely : Malungkot (''muh-loong-KOHT'') ; Far : Malayo (''muh-LAH-yoh''') ; Close/Near : Malapit (''mih-LAH-piht'') ; Strong : Malakas (''muh-luh-KAHS'') ; Noisy : Maingay (''muh-'EE-ngai'') ; Silent : Tahimik (''tuh-HEE-mihk'') ; High : Mataas (''muh-tuh-AHS'') ; Low : Mababa (''muh-BAH-buh''') ; Old (person) : Matanda (''muh-tuhn-DAH''') ; Old (things): Luma (''LOO-muh''') ===Prepositions=== ; Here : Dito (''DEE-toh'') ; There : Doon (''doh-'OHN'') ; Outside : Sa labas (''sah luh-BAHS'''') ; Inside : Sa loob (''sah loh-'OHB'') ; Upstairs : Sa itaas (''sah ih-TAH-uhs'') ; Downstairs : Sa ibaba (''sah ih-bah-BAH''') ; Behind : Sa likod (''sah lih-KOHD'''') ; Next : Katabi (''kuh-tuh-BEE'') ; Beside : Katabi (''kah-tuh-BEE'') ; Front : Harapan (''huh-ruh-PAHN'') ; Back : Likuran (''lih-koo-RAHN'') ===Problems=== {{Infobox|"Don't no nothing"|Filipino has several ways to say "no", such as: ; ''Hindi'' (''di'') : "No/not".

This region has an immense historical and cultural wealth made visible through its buildings, works of art and festivals. ==Provinces== {{mapframe|staticmap=Flanders travel map.png|51.11|4.30|zoom=7}} {{Regionlist | region1name=[[East Flanders]] | region1color=#D5DC76 | region1description= | region2name=[[Antwerp (province)|Antwerp]] | region2color=#B5D29F | region2description= | region3name=[[Flemish Brabant]] | region3color=#71B37B | region3description= | region4name=[[West Flanders]] | region4color=#D56D76 | region4description= | region5name=[[Limburg (Belgium)|Limburg]] | region5color=#69999F | region5description= }} {{mapshape|type=geoshape|fill=#D5DC76|title=[[East Flanders]]|wikidata=Q1114}} {{mapshape|type=geoshape|fill=#B5D29F|title=[[Antwerp (province)|Antwerp]]|wikidata=Q1116}} {{mapshape|type=geoshape|fill=#71B37B|title=[[Flemish Brabant]]|wikidata=Q1118}} {{mapshape|type=geoshape|fill=#D56D76|title=[[West Flanders]]|wikidata=Q1113}} {{mapshape|type=geoshape|fill=#69999F|title=[[Limburg (Belgium)|Limburg]]|wikidata=Q1095}} ==Cities== *{{marker|type=city|name=[[Antwerp]]|wikidata=Q12892}} (''Antwerpen'') — Flanders' biggest city, with a large cathedral, the second-largest port of Europe, and plenty to see and do. * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Bruges]]|wikidata=Q12994}} (''Brugge'') — also known as the "Venice of the north", a very nice medieval town with lots of small canals * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Hasselt]]|wikidata=Q58780}} — capital city of [[Limburg (Belgium)|Limburg]], with a lot of greenery and shopping possibilities * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Kortrijk]]|wikidata=Q12995}} — an old city with famous medieval towers (Broeltowers) and a big pedestrian shopping district * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Ghent]]|wikidata=Q1296}} (''Gent'') — a more medieval city located approximatively in the centre of Flanders, halfway between Antwerp and Bruges[[Image:Ghent3.JPG|thumb|Ghent]] * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Leuven]]|wikidata=Q118958}} — an old town with a very old university and a beautiful town hall * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Mechelen]]|wikidata=Q162022}} — small town with a famous cathedral * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Sint-Niklaas]]|wikidata=Q13127}} — offering nice cycling opportunities and boasts Belgium's largest market square * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Ypres]]|wikidata=Q102728}} (''Ieper'') — made famous by its destruction during the First World War; many memorials and museums ==Understand== Nowadays, Flanders is one of the three federal regions of Belgium (the other two being [[Wallonia]] and [[Brussels]]). This means that it has its own government, a parliament and separate laws. The capital, however, is [[Brussels]], over which Flanders has only partial jurisdiction. But Flanders has travelled a long historic road before arriving at its present situation. Once being its own County of Flanders, the territory has been part of several larger countries or empires. Since Belgium's founding in 1830, tensions between the Flemish and French-speaking population have led to the federalisation of Belgium. There is an active independence movement in Flanders, but the struggle has largely been peaceful and is of no danger to any tourist. The split between the regions is quite noticeable when travelling via public transport. The bus line operator in Flanders differs from the one in [[Brussels]] and [[Wallonia]], resulting in different ticket types and different prices. The train network is a uniform network, however, but the announcements are adapted to the language of the region the train is driving in. Also when travelling by car, you'll see that the traffic signs are translated, so it's better to look up the name of your destination in Dutch and French before you leave. ==Get in== ===By plane=== Flanders has several airports: *{{listing | name=Brussels Airport | alt={{IATA|BRU}} | url=http://www.brusselsairport.be/ | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=Located in [[Zaventem]], this is the main airport in [[Belgium]] and likely the most convenient point of entry. }} *{{listing | name=Antwerp Airport | alt={{IATA|ANR}} | url=http://www.antwerp-airport.be | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=Located in the District of Deurne, a few kilometers from [[Antwerp]] it only has direct flights to [[London]] and [[Manchester]] catering for business customers. }} *{{listing | name=Kortrijk-Wevelgem International Airport | alt={{IATA|KJK}} | url=http://www.kortrijkairport.be/ | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=Business airport in Wevelgem near [[Kortrijk]]. }} *{{listing | name=Ostend - Bruges International Airport | alt={{IATA|OST}} | url=http://www.ost.aero/ | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=Located in [[Oostende]], mostly served by charter and freight flights. }} ===By boat=== There are several ports of entry at the coast and on the Schelde you can find several small ports too. [[Calais]] and [[Dunkirk]] (France), a short drive from western Flanders, receive dozens of ferries a day from [[Dover (England)|Dover]] in England. The overnight ferries from Hull to Zeebrugge were axed in 2021, though ferries still run from Hull to [[Rotterdam]] (Netherlands), which has good road and rail access to northern Flanders. ===By car=== The E19 goes through Flanders, also the E40 crosses the region. ===By train=== Big cities in neighbouring countries such as [[Paris]], [[Amsterdam]] and [[London]] have connections to bigger cities in Flanders. From there you can change train and reach every city in Flanders. ===Other means=== By bicycle or on foot. As we are in the [[European Union]] there are no borders and you can travel freely. Several places have nature parks and allow you to walk in and out (often following old-smugglers routes). ==Get around== ===By car=== All roads are free of charge in Flanders except that some tunnels, such as the ''Liefkenshoektunnel'' in [[Antwerp]], have tolls. The roads and signalisation are pretty good and almost completely lit during the night. However, since 2017 the default speed limit outside built-up areas is 70 km/h, not 90 km/h as in the rest of Belgium. This speed limit is seldom explicitly signposted. Many foreigners find in-town traffic nervous due to the many twisty, small roads with very busy traffic. Older towns can appear to be a maze of one-way streets, where a single missed turn might takes you to the other side of the town. One-way streets also often change, causing navigation units and paper maps to be outdated very soon (even if you just installed new updates). Often it is better to park your car and continue on foot. Be sure to look out for bicycles when you're driving in a town; bikes might ride fast and appear from everywhere. Car drivers are also held completely responsible when they are involved in an accident with bikes or pedestrians. The maximum speed in towns is normally 50 km/h, and quite often reduced to 30 km/h. In general, the towns are not large, and most towns have a ring-road, allowing you to drive to the other side without driving through the town. In-between smaller towns, the road-network consists mostly out of 2-lane roads, where the speed limit changes between 70 km/h (in the fields) and 50 km/h (when you cross a village). The roads are quite straight, the road surface is well-maintained, and the cyclists normally have separated lanes. So outside towns, driving cars is a better option. The motorway network in Flanders is quite well developed, and connects all bigger cities, and gives good access to the neighbouring countries. But during rush hour (around 8:00 and 17:00), there are many traffic jams around Brussels and Antwerp. In the summer, there are also traffic jams on the E40, connecting the coast to the mainland. The maximum speed on motorways is 120 km/h. ===By public transport=== The national train-company is called '''[http://www.belgianrail.be/en/Default.aspx NMBS]'''. Trains will get you to most cities. In cities you will find buses, trams and metro from '''[http://www.delijn.be/ De Lijn]''' (''The Line''). The same ticket is valid for 90 minutes for one zone. You can buy multiple-ride tickets (Lijnkaart), this is cheaper than buying a ticket per ride. Depending on the number of trips you make in a day, buying a day pass might be cheaper than using multiple single tickets or tickets for multiple zones. Buying tickets from a machine or ticket office (''Lijnwinkel'') is cheaper than buying from the driver. De Lijn ticket offices might be closed in the off-hours. De Lijn tickets are valid in every Flemish city, but not in Brussels. Brussels has its own transport company called MIVB/STIB. However, De Lijn offers a few buses in Brussels and on these buses the regular De Lijn tickets are used. <!--[https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!data=!1m4!1m3!1d2121!2d2.9145852!3d51.2316574 Google Maps] show bus and tram stop locations within Flanders. If you click on the tram or bus symbol, you will get a list of bus or tram routes that use that stop. On Google Maps and the De Lijn website you may often see the word ''perron''; this means "platform" in Dutch.--> <!--such links are at odds with policy--> [[Antwerp]] and [[Ghent]] have a tram network, and the coast also has a single tram-line, connecting all coastal towns. The tram networks are, just as the bus lines, operated by De Lijn and the same tickets are used as on the bus. There are no metro lines in Flemish cities. === By bike === Flanders has a vast network of special roads for bicycles. Get a map in a tourists office, because sometimes they can be hard to find. Inside towns, when there is no separate lane designed for cyclists they ride between the cars due to the narrow streets, so be cautious. If however there is a bicycle lane, you are obliged to use it. If not, you can face a fine. Outside towns, most big roads have dedicated cycle lanes, though small roads (even when they have no dedicated cycle lane) are more relaxing to ride on. At some train stations, there are bicycle rental opportunities. ==== The cycle node network ==== Flanders implemented a cycle node network. See [http://openfietskaart.nl/?zoom=9&lat=51.01608&lon=4.34657&layers=000BFFFFFTF the map]. The network connects streets where cycling is relaxing. Every crossing between relaxing streets received a node number. When you create a route, you only need to write down the node numbers on a small piece of paper, and tape it to your bike. This way, there's no need to mess with big paper maps, or trying to attach a navigation device to your bike. However, you should always carry a map with you, in case you miss a sign. The cycle node network is ideal to create your own roundtrips in the countryside, or to bring you from one town to another. === By foot === Getting around by foot is by far the easiest inside towns. You don't need to take one-way streets into account, and most streets have raised sidewalks. Quite often, streets in the town centre are completely reserved for pedestrians. Many of the historical streets do have cobblestones as their primary pavement, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Most towns are also small enough to visit them purely on foot. ==Talk== The official language of Flanders is the Flemish dialect of [[Dutch phrasebook|Dutch]]. Flemish Dutch has some vocabulary not used in the Netherlands and a distinct, soft accent but it is still standard Dutch. Nearly all Flemings, with the partial exception of seniors, are capable of speaking standard Dutch. Most people know English at least moderately, and the younger generation (younger than 30) in particular can be expected to understand English properly. Not everyone can engage in a conversation with native English speakers due to lack of spoken English experience. Above 50, the chance of successfully communicating with someone in English decreases rapidly. Basic French is, just like English, taught in schools to everyone, but with the exception of areas in the proximity of the language border, French language skills are usually insufficient for an effective conversation. Flemings are extremely proud of their language, and in the Flemish region around Brussels for example, many locals might not appreciate you ask something in French. Either way, English is a better bet to ask something or start a conversation. A considerable number of people also understand German, but many have difficulties speaking it due to the different pronunciations and conjugations. If you speak German slowly, Flemings will likely understand what you're trying to say. Other languages are most likely unknown, with the exception of Arabic, Turkish and Berber in some [[Antwerp]] suburbs where immigrants accumulate. Tourist brochures are often available three or four languages (German is sometimes excluded). Official information, such as public transport schedules and traffic signs, is very often only in Dutch. Francophone town names on traffic signs are also translated to Dutch (e.g ''Luik'' instead of "[[Liège]]", ''Rijsel'' instead of "[[Lille]]", etc.) Viewing a movie in Flanders is also possible. Most films are shown in the original version (labelled ''OV'' at cinemas) with French and Dutch subtitles. Only children's movies are habitually dubbed (''NV''). ==See== [[File:Brugge beguinage.JPG|thumbnail|The beguinage in Bruges]] * Historical cities, like [[Antwerp]], [[Bruges]], [[Ghent]], [[Leuven]], [[Lier]] or [[Mechelen]]. * '''[[Belfries of Belgium and France]]''' — 24 belfries in Flanders are part of this geographically large {{UNESCO}} * '''Flemish Beguinages''' — a kind of Medieval monasteries. 13 such beguinages have been listed as {{UNESCO}}s; they can be found in [[Hoogstraten]], [[Lier]], [[Mechelen]], [[Turnhout]], [[Sint-Truiden]], [[Tongeren]], [[Dendermonde]], two in [[Ghent]], [[Diest]], [[Leuven]], [[Bruges]], and [[Kortrijk]]. ==Do== ===Music festivals=== There are many music festivals organised throughout the summer. The bigger ones happen in a small village, because there is lots of space and not many neighbours to complain about the noise. Some of the famous ones are: * '''Pukkelpop''' (near [[Hasselt]]) is still an independent festival organised by youth movements. They figure big names but try to have alternative groups too. * '''Rock Werchter''' (near [[Leuven]]), owned by Clearchannel features all big commercial bands. * '''Maanrock''' (in [[Mechelen]]) is one of the larger free festivals. It's inside the city. * '''Marktrock''' (in [[Leuven]]) has many different stages with different kinds of music all over the city. Most music is popular music, though there are many small bands playing there. The main stage is the only stage not to be free. Every time you enter you pay a small fee (''5 euro in 2003''). * '''Sfinks''' (near [[Antwerp]]) is a world music festival. It has a really nice atmosphere. There is a lot of side animation, like a big market. * '''Pole-Pole''' (in [[Ghent]]) * '''Openluchttheater Rivierenhof''' (near [[Antwerp]]) isn't really a festival, though it has big bands all through the summer. Usually they "pick up" artists that have a few days without a gig. * '''Couleur Café''' (in [[Brussels]]) * '''Werchter Classic''' (near [[Leuven]]) mainly offers classic rock bands, but has been featuring artists that had their break-through only recently. It's mostly a re-use of the Rock Werchter facilities. * '''Graspop''' (metal music), '''Rhythm 'n Blues''', '''Dranouter''' (folk music), '''Cactus festival''', '''Rock Ternat''', '''Rock@Edegem''' ... (there are too many to sum up) The festivals organised in towns are often free and very nice. They stay away from commercial music and have good bands playing combined with small local bands. Flanders has some nice music bands with some international fame (dEUS, Das Pop, Zita Swoon, Soulwax,...) ==Eat== {{eatpricerange|7-20 €|20-60 €|+60 €}} ==Drink== *{{drink | name=Beer | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=Beer is taken seriously in Belgium.

You will find that people are usually very helpful. In towns, you should of course beware of usual petty crime (pickpockets in tourist places). Some suburbs around [[Antwerp]] have high concentrations of immigrants and should be avoided at night for safety, but tourists are usually unlikely to visit them because these areas typically offer little touristic value. The police force in Flanders is professional and the corruption levels are low in comparison to other government structures. When in trouble, do not hesitate to address police officers, who can be expected to engage in a conversation in English anywhere in Flanders. In touristic areas in particular, police officers will be able to communicate fluently in English. The relatively flat topography of Flanders favors cycling, but unlike its [[Netherlands|northern neighbor]], cycling infrastructure is poorly developed in many parts of Flanders. Cycling roads are absent outside the major cities, and where cycling roads are available, they are often in a state of disrepair. Wearing a fluorescent vest and safety helmet are not mandatory in Flanders, but of course highly recommendable. With the exception of wild boars with young offspring, there is no dangerous wildlife in Flanders, and woods or forests are safe any time of the day. In the summer season however, ticks are known to reside in tall grass, and have a small chance of carrying Lyme disease. Check your legs when walking through tall grass or wear long trousers. If strongly discolored concentric circles show up on your skin, you might be bitten by a tick, and it is recommendable to consult a doctor immediately. Jaywalking is not a crime in Flanders, and vehicles will slow down or stop if you stand at the side of the road with visible intention of crossing. Tap water is safe to drink anywhere in Flanders, so drink bottles can be refilled at any occasion. Surface water however (streams, rivers, wells) are usually heavily polluted as a result of Flanders' high population density, and unsuitable for consumption regardless of how clean they look. ==Respect== * Flemings don't like to talk about their income or political preference. They do like to talk with you about beer and chocolates. * Although the vast majority of Flemish people are indifferent to Flemish-nationalism, the Flanders-Wallonia question can be a controversial topic, avoid asking strangers about their views on this. Once you get to know them better and you feel they are open for it, you can ask them about it. * Although many Flemings speak French, avoid speaking that language, as it may be regarded by some as disrespectful. Explaining you're a tourist (and don't live there) will make people understand, though. * Most people enjoy helping tourists, and a lot of people speak, apart from Dutch, also English, French and some German (especially the students). Don't hesitate to ask locals if you have a question. * Throwing garbage or gum on the street is frowned upon - don't be surprised if someone talks to you if you do. You'll soon notice Leuven is a very clean city and locals respect this and try to keep it this way. Use the many bins. * Giving tips shows that you were content with the service given, but you are certainly not obliged to do so. It is sometimes done in bars and restaurants. Depending on the total, a tip of €0,50 to €2,50 is considered generous. ==Go next== * If you visit Flanders it would be very logical to also visit [[Wallonia]]. Though there is a different mentality, you will find that they are Belgians just like the Flemish (lots of beer and good food). *There are also some towns just across the NL border which are very near and within easy day-trip distance from Flanders. They are very popular among Flemish people to visit (especially on Sundays, as all shops and supermarkets are open in the Netherlands). The most historically interesting and popular places are [[Hulst]] (near Antwerp and [[Sint-Niklaas]]), [[Sluis]] (near Bruges and the Belgian coast at [[Knokke-Heist]], and [[Baarle]] (a curious enclave inside NL territory, near [[Turnhout]]. * [[Paris]] is pretty close, so are [[London]], [[Cologne]], [[Rotterdam]] and [[Amsterdam]]. These destinations can be reached by train easily. * The [[West Frisian Islands]] in [[The Netherlands]] are also not too far. {{isPartOf|Belgium}} {{outlineregion}} {{geo|51.11|4.30|zoom=9}} oiso3rqrj0n50xam2swe3vihmyczslu 0 11775 4495727 4408045 2022-08-05T14:17:51Z Cyclearound 2274069 Removed duplicate information from Cities, Other destinations, Do and See.

It is part of the Cape Verde archipelago [[Ilhas de Sotavento]] (Eng.: "Leeward Islands") and lies east of the islands Brava and west of Santiago. The Pico do Fogo is with 2,829 m the second highest mountain in the Atlantic and dominates the island, which has a diameter of about 26&nbsp;km. The seabed here is about -5,300 m, making the cone then measuring approximately 8,100 meters from base to tip. The cone rises about 1,000 m above the caldera. On the flank of Pico do Fogo, the last active 1995 Pico Pequeno has risen. The Caldeira, framed by the Bordeira and dominated by Pico do Fogo forms a worldwide unique volcanic ensemble. Fogo erupted out of the Atlantic 100,000 years ago and has been an active volcano ever since. The most recent eruption was in 1995 which had the inhabitants of Chã das Caldeiras - the crater region at the top of the island - evacuate their homes for 6 months. ==Regions== A trip to Fogo is not complete without a visit to the otherworldly [[Chã das Caldeiras]] including, for the adventurous, an ascent to the 2829m peak Pico de Fogo (allowed only guided, see below). Almost all over the island, it is dry and warm with a pleasant breeze. Except in the north-east above Mosteiros a fruitful cloud forest is here by the rising north-east trade winds. In the heights, especially at night it can be quite chilly. ==Cities== The charming main town of [[São Filipe]] (approximately 8,300 inhabitants) with its ''Sobrado'' colonial architecture is worth exploring for a day or so on your way through. It is the largest town of the island, and the regional capital of Fogo. All essential purchases are available here. There is a museum with exhibits on the culture and volcanism. [[Mosteiros]] is a smaller town with about 5,000 inhabitants in the north-east of the island. The remaining villages are small. ==Understand== ==Talk== [[Portuguese]] and Creole. Some people also speak English. ==Get in== Regular flights to Fogo from Praia and Sal landing in São Filipe. Ask for a seat on the right side of the plane for the best view of the volcano.

It is part of the Cape Verde archipelago [[Ilhas de Sotavento]] (Eng.: "Leeward Islands") and lies east of the islands Brava and west of Santiago. The Pico do Fogo is with 2,829 m the second highest mountain in the Atlantic and dominates the island, which has a diameter of about 26&nbsp;km. The seabed here is about -5,300 m, making the cone then measuring approximately 8,100 meters from base to tip. The cone rises about 1,000 m above the caldera. On the flank of Pico do Fogo, the last active 1995 Pico Pequeno has risen. The Caldeira, framed by the Bordeira and dominated by Pico do Fogo forms a worldwide unique volcanic ensemble. Fogo erupted out of the Atlantic 100,000 years ago and has been an active volcano ever since. The most recent eruption was in 1995 which had the inhabitants of Chã das Caldeiras - the crater region at the top of the island - evacuate their homes for 6 months. ==Regions== Fogo is separated into three main regions: # The dry southwest including the island's capital Saõ Filipe. # The the otherworldly [[Chã das Caldeiras]] volcano valley including the 2829m volcano peak ''Pico de Fogo''. # The north-east above Mosteiros. A fruitful cloud forest is here by the rising north-east trade winds. In the heights, especially at night it can be quite chilly. ==Cities== The charming main town of [[São Filipe]] (approximately 8,300 inhabitants) with its ''Sobrado'' colonial architecture is worth exploring for a day or so on your way through. It is the largest town of the island, and the regional capital of Fogo. All essential purchases are available here. There is a museum with exhibits on the culture and volcanism. [[Mosteiros]] is a smaller town with about 5,000 inhabitants in the north-east of the island. The remaining villages are small. ==Get in== Regular flights to Fogo from Praia and Sal landing in São Filipe. Ask for a seat on the right side of the plane for the best view of the volcano. There is an overnight ferry from [[Praia]] to [[São Filipe]]. For boats leaving [[São Filipe]], the office is in the square opposite Pousada Bela Vista. For flights, the TACV office is just off the same square. ==Get around== You have the following possibilities to go around Fogo: * {{listing | name=Taxi | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata= | lastedit=2022-08-05 | content=The most convenient, but also expensive way.

Beef or pork (as well as fresh meat or in processed form (sausages, ...)) is very rare. In smaller convenience stores you can find everything important for your daily needs. In the two-story indoor market are fruits, vegetables and fish offered as well as various small items like T-shirts, leather goods from West Africa and minor services in the upper floor. Lactose-free products are still unknown. Otherwise, the food is probably good for many allergy sufferers, because fewer highly processed products are offered. However, one can also find these now already. At Cafe Fixe is prepared an original ''Cachupa'', a must have tasted meal. It is a bean-corn stew with fish or chicken. ==Drink== Try the Fogo wine (red, white or rose) of the caldeira and the strong red wine called manecon. You find some exotic fruit drinks.

They have no permanent inhabitants and are visited only by researchers studying the native fauna. The "Antarctic Lands" portion consists of Adélie Land, a thin slice of the Antarctic continent discovered and claimed by the French in 1840, and set aside by the Antarctic Treaty. In 2019, the archipelagoes of Crozet, Kerguelen, St. Paul and Amsterdam islands, were collectively listed as a natural [[UNESCO World Heritage site]]. The French Southern and Antarctic Lands consist of a few islands in the Indian Ocean that were separated from what was then the colony of Madagascar in the 1950s. This overseas territory includes Kerguelen with the largest "city", Port-aux-Français, the islands of Saint Paul and Amsterdam to the east and the Crozet Islands to the west (different time zone). Apart from the scientists and a modest military presence, all these islands are uninhabited and have a harsh and inhospitable climate. Officially, Adélie also belongs to this overseas territory as a French territorial claim over Antarctica, but due to the Antarctic Treaty, all those territorial claims are frozen. Since 2007, the "Îles Éparses", some islands scattered around Reunion, have been incorporated into the French Southern and Antarctic Territories. ==Get in== ===By plane=== There are no airports in these islands. ===By boat=== [[Image:Port aux Français.JPG|thumb|300px|Port-aux-Français, [[Kerguelen]].]] There are no harbors in these islands.

Sandwiched between [[Russia]] in the north and [[Turkey]] in the south, it sits along the coast of the [[Black Sea]] around where Europe and Asia meet. It is a rather mountainous country and is home to some of [[Europe]]’s highest mountain peaks. Despite its modest size, Georgia presents a large mix of other landscapes and micro-climates, ranging from dry wine-growing valleys in the east, to lush [[Batumi|Black Sea resorts]] in the west. In [[Greece|Greek]] mythology, Georgia, known as Colchis, was the site of the famous Golden Fleece sought by Jason and the Argonauts. The tales of Georgia's ancient history are not without foundation; modern archaeological evidence suggests that Georgia is the oldest wine-making country in the world, with some wine samples dating back to 6,000 years BC. In testament to this rich heritage, Georgia's cities and countryside are complete with medieval churches, several of which are [[UNESCO World Heritage Sites]]. Enjoying low levels of crime and corruption, since the mid-2000s Georgia has developed into a fast-growing destination.

Archaeologists have found the oldest known traces of wine production, dated 6,000 years&nbsp;BC, in Georgia. Thanks to this long history of viticulture, grapevine is one of Georgia's national symbols, adorning medieval decorations, carvings and paintings. The current Georgian alphabet, with its characteristic curvy shapes, was designed to look like the loops and twists of grapevines. A people of distinct culture, Georgians are not related to the [[Russia|Russians]], [[Turkey|Turks]] or [[Greece|Greeks]], nor do they have any ethnic or linguistic ties to other nations that surround them. There are academic theories which link Georgians to [[Basque country|Basque]] and [[Corsica|Corsican]] people in Southwestern Europe, but there is no definitive evidence of this. For centuries, Georgians have been embroiled in power struggles against the world’s biggest empires (Roman, Mongol, Byzantine, Persian, Ottoman and Russian), but they nevertheless managed to preserve their identity. In testament to this long history, Georgia's countryside is covered with ancient towered fortifications, monasteries and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which have survived through great adversities. The exact origin of name ''Georgia'' has never been established, but there are a number of theories as to its provenance. Some have explained the name's origin by the popularity of St George among Georgians (St. George is Georgia's Patron Saint). Others link the name to the Greek word γεωργός ("agricultural") or some variations thereof. Georgians usually tell you that the name is related to Saint George, since that is an explanation closest to their heart. The majority of Georgians are Eastern Orthodox Christian, which encompasses Greek, Russian and other European orthodox denominations. Aside from Russia, Georgia is the only Eastern Orthodox Christian country in the region (contrary to popular belief, Armenia is Oriental Orthodox, which is a separate church). Although Georgia's culture is strongly influenced by Christianity, a large portion of nominally religious Georgians do not actively practice their faith and identify with religion for historical and cultural reasons. Most people attend church only on special occasions, and religious holidays are more about feasts and keeping up with traditions than religious dogma. However, to Western Europeans, Georgians seem very religious. Nevertheless, they are also very modern at the same time, and their taste of music is outstanding and advanced. Where in Asia you get the typical mix of bad local pop music, tear jerker, and traditional jingle-jangle, Georgians prefer international classics, jazz and blues, and old pop music from the 60s and 70s. In addition, the local music often improvises with styles of Reggae and Ska. ===Historical overview=== [[File:Vakhtang VI (European clothes).jpg|thumb|Georgian king Vakhtang VI sought support from [[France]] and the Papal States in order to fight Islamic invasions. Allying with Western European powers to resist hostile neighbors is a recurring theme in Georgia's history]] ====Classical and medieval periods==== In [[Greece|Greek]] mythology, western coasts of Georgia were home to the famous Golden Fleece sought by Jason and the Argonauts. Incorporation of the Golden Fleece into Greek mythology was influenced by an ancient Georgian practice of using fleeces to sift gold dust from the mountain rivers. In addition to ties to ancient Greeks, various early Georgian kingdoms were client states and allies of the Roman Empire for centuries. In the 4th century, a Greek-speaking Roman woman named Saint Nino - who was a relative of Saint George - began preaching Christianity in Georgia, leading to the eventual conversion of this previously pagan kingdom. By the 10th century, various Georgian-speaking states converged to form the Kingdom of Georgia, which became a potent regional power in the 12th and 13th centuries, also known as the ''Georgian Golden Age''. This period of revival was inaugurated by King David IV of Georgia, son of George II and Queen Helena, who succeeded in driving out the Turks. During this time, Georgia's influence spanned from the south of Ukraine in Eastern Europe to the northern gates of Persia. Like its ally Greece, Georgia was in some sense Europe's gatekeeper throughout the Middle Ages - being a peripheral country, much of the Islamic invasions hit Georgia first. By the end of the Middle Ages, Georgia began to gradually decline and fracture due to persistent incursions of Mongols and other nomadic peoples. The Mongols were expelled by George V the Brilliant, but various Muslim conquerors followed, not giving the realm enough time to fully recover. Georgia's geopolitical situation further worsened after the Fall of Constantinople, which meant that Georgia was now an isolated enclave, surrounded by hostile Turco-Iranic neighbors with whom it had nothing in common. Under pressure, Georgia soon disintegrated, allowing Ottoman Turkey and Persia to subjugate western and eastern regions of Georgia, respectively. [[File:Franz Xaver Winterhalter - Portrait of Samegrelo Queen – Ekaterine Chavchavadze-Dadiani.jpg|thumb|One of the most prominent Georgian women of the 19th century, Princess Catherine Dadiani is remembered for resisting Ottoman incursions in Western Georgia]] ====18th and 19th centuries==== {{seealso|Russian Empire}} Since the mid-15th century, rulers in both western and eastern Georgian kingdoms repeatedly sought aid from major European powers but to no avail. King Vakhtang VI of Eastern Georgia sent his emissary, Saba Orbeliani, to [[France]] and the [[Vatican|Papal States]] in order to secure assistance for Georgia, but nothing tangible could be secured. Lack of Western European assistance left Georgia exposed - pushed by the invading Ottoman Army, both Vakhtang and Orbeliani were eventually forced to accept the offer of protection from Peter the Great and escaped to Russia. In modern-day Georgia, Orbeliani's diplomatic mission to France would become an allegory of how the West neglects Georgian appeals for assistance. Left with no good options, in 1783 Eastern Georgia signed the controversial Treaty of Georgievsk with the Russian Empire. Recognizing the bond of Orthodox Christianity between the two nations, the treaty established Georgia as a protectorate of Russia, while guaranteeing Georgia's territorial integrity and the continuation of its reigning dynasty. Despite the promises, however, Russia did not hold its end of the bargain: it failed to immediately render assistance against foreign incursions and instead began to absorb Georgia piece by piece against the spirit of the original agreement. Russia downgraded the Georgian Orthodox Church to the status of a local Russian archdiocese, while also downgrading the Georgian royalty to the level of Russian nobility, all of which offended many Georgians. The country quickly turned into a resort for the Russian Imperial Family, some members of which had respiratory problems and cherished Georgia's clean, alpine climate. ====20th century==== {{seealso|Soviet Union}} Having lived more than a century under the Russian Empire, in 1918 Georgia established its first-ever modern republic with [[Germany|German]] and [[United Kingdom|British]] military support. Russia, however, soon cajoled Georgia into becoming a neutral state, which resulted in British troops leaving the country. Once Germany and Britain were out of the equation, just several months later Russia invaded and forcibly incorporated Georgia into the Soviet Union. This unfortunate turn of events would become one of the reasons why in the 21st century, military neutrality is an unpopular concept in Georgia and can end political careers. During the Soviet era, Georgia suffered terrible repressions at the hands of its own son Joseph Stalin, who had tens of thousands purged and executed. But this period also came with major changes. Georgia turned into one of the more prosperous Soviet republics renowned for its spas, resorts, cuisine and wine. Upon the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Georgia reclaimed its independence but at a heavy price. Pro-Russian separatists in Abkhazia and South Ossetia waged secessionist wars, dragging the country into chaos for most of the 1990s, and those areas were ethnically cleansed of their Georgian populations. ====21st century==== [[File:GeorgianArmy.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Georgian troops in Baghdad, 2006]] Georgia's turbulent period started to come to an end following the peaceful Rose Revolution of 2003, when the country implemented a series of major democratic and economic reforms aimed at integration with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and various European institutions. Georgia became the most loyal American ally in the region, much to Russia's chagrin. The Georgian military attempted to reclaim South Ossetia in 2008, which went disastrously as they were quickly overwhelmed by Russian forces that had been sent to back the separatists, with the Russian military eventually overrunning much of Georgia proper. Following a ceasefire, Russia formally recognised the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia and pulled its forces back into those regions, citing Western support for [[Kosovo]]'s independence from [[Serbia]] as a precedent, while Georgia in turn left the [[Commonwealth of Independent States]] (CIS). As of 2016, Georgia's ties to NATO and the European Union continue to gradually deepen in the face of strong Russian opposition. Due to continuing political disagreements, Russia and Georgia still have no formal diplomatic relations and are represented by the embassies of Switzerland. According to Transparency International, Georgia is the least corrupt country in the Black Sea region, including all of its immediate neighbors, as well as nearby European Union countries. Georgia is a member of the Council of Europe, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, as well as Eurocontrol; since 2014, it has also been part of the European Union's Free Trade Area. Although Georgia has never petitioned the EU for membership, in 2014 the European Parliament overwhelmingly voted in favour of a resolution, which established that Georgia, along with [[Moldova]] and [[Ukraine]], are eligible to become members of the Union, provided they meet requisite democratic standards. ==Talk== {{seealso|Georgian phrasebook}} For language fans, the Georgian language and its dialects are an object of fascination. For everyone else, however, they could be a nightmare. Georgian is not in any way related to languages spoken outside of Georgia, and it is famous for its consonants. Not only are there quite a few, but many words start off with at least two. It is possible to string together as many as ''eight'' consonants, as in ''vprtskvni'' (ვფრცქვნი), meaning "I am peeling it". Keep in mind that some of the consonant clusters exist because certain sounds in Georgian can only be expressed in English via multiple letters. Original Georgian words are usually much shorter and less complicated than they appear. Around and in Tbilisi English is often well-spoken, but further in the west of Georgia, it might become more difficult though. Hence, everyone who visits should attempt to learn at least a few Georgian (and when communicating with older people or minorities, a few Russian words). People most likely to understand Russian include: older generations and ethnic minorities like Azeris, Armenians, Abkhazians, Ossetes, etc. (the reason is that Russian was compulsory during the Soviet period, whereas the local languages of each Soviet republic were not). Speaking Russian is useful and recommended in areas where ethnic minorities live, especially in the regions of Kvemo Kartli where 50% of the population is ethnic Azeri and Samtskhe-Javakheti where 50% of the population is ethnic Armenian. Georgians who have been educated since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1990, as well as the educated elite, largely prefer to study '''English''', which is in part motivated by their desire to move away from the Russian sphere of influence. Access to good quality English instruction in provinces is low, however in the 2000s, many schools received native English-speaking volunteers, and English is rapidly becoming a second language nation-wide. When in need for help, look for younger people; they are more likely to know some English. Finally, '''signs''' in Georgia are often not bilingual (apart from Tbilisi metro); however, most road signs are in both the Georgian and Latin alphabets. Basic knowledge of the Georgian alphabet is very useful to understand road signs, store/restaurant names, and bus destinations. For those traveling without knowledge of Georgian, it may be a good idea to carry a phrasebook or a travel guide. ==Get in== [[File:Visa policy of Georgia.png|thumb|375px|Visa requirements of Georgia.

Do not require a visa for max 90 days in a 180-day period, though apparently only when arriving by air. The visa/residence permit must be valid on arrival to Georgia. ====E-visa==== If you are not from one of the above countries, you can obtain a visa using the e-Visa portal online without a visit to the Georgian diplomatic mission or consulate. The standard fee for a 90-day, single-entry "ordinary" visa, which covers tourism, is 60 lari or its equivalent. Double-entry 90-day visas (only available at consulates) are 90 lari. Hong Kong and Macau SAR passport holders are also eligible to apply for an eVisa. They should choose “China” in Citizenship/Country section of the e-visa application. Visas are also issued at the official road and air (but not rail or sea) entry points into Georgia. Issuing procedures are pretty straightforward and can normally be completed in a matter of minutes at entry points to Georgia, although consulates require a few days for processing. Nationals of [[Nauru]], [[Nicaragua]], [[Syria]] and [[Venezuela]] are not eligible for an online visa, and should visit a Georgian embassy or consulate instead. However if holding a visa or residence permit of certain countries (see above), they do not need a visa for a stay of max 90 days in a 180-day period, provided showing their visa/residence permit at the border. {{cautionbox|The official rules regarding visa and entrance are not always enforced by the border police. For example, some border points officially delivering visa-on-arrival may actually not deliver any (e.g., Sadakhlo/Bagratashen road border point). Furthermore, if you need a visa to enter Georgia and plan to buy one on arrival (as it is officially possible), there is no ATM at some border checkpoints (e.g., [[Sarpi]]) and, if you cannot change money into lari (e.g., no bank, or bank closed) and don't have any lari with you, you will be denied entrance; hence, it is highly preferable to ask for a visa beforehand. Finally, although EU citizens can enter with their national identity card, border guards (especially at land borders) are frequently unused to them and will check them much more thoroughly.}} ====Border crossings==== Georgia’s international entry and exit points are as follows.

Some travellers who continued on into Georgia after entering South Ossetia or Abkhazia from Russia have been fined or jailed. Others have got away without problems. Visiting Abkhazia from Georgia is possible, but it is not possible to visit South Ossetia from Georgia. ====COVID-19==== Overland/sea borders to Georgia have re-opened to all approved countries: EU countries, Swiss Confederation, United Kingdom, Kingdom of Norway, USA, United Arab Emirates, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, State of Qatar, Kingdom of Bahrain and State of Israel, Turkey, Ukraine, Republic of Azerbaijan, Republic of Armenia, the Russian Federation, Republic of Kazakhstan, Republic of Belarus, the republic of Uzbekistan, the republic of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the People’s Republic of China, Japan, Canada, the State of Kuwait, Republic of Moldova, Sultanate of Oman and the Republic of Korea.

There are also several non-stop bus services between Tbilisi and [[Baku]], [[Azerbaijan]]. There are direct buses connecting Tbilisi to [[Thessaloniki]] and [[Athens]], [[Greece]], which both have Georgian expat communities. There are also buses from Russia, with companies such as [http://hayreniqtour.ru/ Hayreniq Tour] providing journeys from Moscow (and other Russian cities) to Tbilisi. === By car=== {{cautionbox|A foreign vehicle is allowed to stay in Georgia only up to 3 months (2 months if the owner is a Georgian citizen).

It is recommended to carry a power of attorney with you if you are not the car owner. In the past, the International Insurance Card was not valid for Georgia, purchasing insurance at the entry point was necessary (even though the amount covered to be ridiculously low). Only the driver may enter the control area with the car, anyone else in the car has to use the pedestrians' lane. ===By train=== There is a daily overnight train from [[Baku]], [[Azerbaijan]] (daily) operated by Azeri Railways [https://ady.az/az (timetable here], click on the earth for international connections). Also, there is a sleeper service every other day (daily in the summer) from [[Yerevan]], [[Armenia]] operated by South Caucasus Railaways ([http://www.ukzhd.am/en.html timetable here], passenger transport on the left). It takes quite a bit longer than a minibus, but the ride is very comfortable, and you will share the compartment with strangers which are usually happy to share a drink and a good story. [http://railway.ge Georgian Railways] are the national rail operator in Georgia, and offer trains around the country. The long-delayed rail link between Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan opened on 30 Oct 2017, initially for freight only. Passenger service is projected to start in the third quarter of 2019; however, it is not clear whether this target date will be met. ===By boat=== There is a ferry from [[Varna]] to [[Poti]], operated by [https://www.navbul.com/en/main-activities/ferry/index.php Navbul] as well as services to [[Batumi]] and Poti from [[Istanbul]] and [[Odessa]]. The Turkish Black Sea port of [[Trabzon]] is closed to passenger services. The Georgian port of Sukhumi also is closed for passenger boats. All vessels going to Sukhumi must undergo border check with Georgian coast guard in the nearby port of Poti. There are also ferries to [[Turkmenistan]] and [[Kazakhstan]]. See [[Ferries in the Caspian Sea]]. ==Get around== {{infobox|Mountain travel|To get to the more remote regions of Georgia (e.g., [[Tusheti]], Khevsureti, etc.) without a tour company, buses and taxis will only take you so far. At some point, it will become necessary to hike, catch a ride on a goods-transporting truck, or hire a jeep. Catching a lorry requires that you are flexible in your travel plans. Hiring a jeep can actually be quite expensive because of the high cost of gas caused by scarcity in the remote regions. To find out about either option, ask around at the bus station or central market of the last town on the bus or marshrutka line.}} ===On foot and navigation=== Georgia is an excellent place for hiking and trekking, providing many interesting trails. [[Tusheti]], [[Kazbegi]], or [[Borjomi]], just to name some destinations. However, due to the often remote nature of these trails, it is important that you are well prepared and have a proper and reliable map with you. In addition, using GPS adds an extra layer of safety, both in cities as well as the countryside. For reliable offline maps and comprehensive trails and map information, consult [https://www.openstreetmap.org/ OpenStreetMap], which is also used by this travel guide, and by many mobile Apps like [http://osmand.net/ OsmAnd] (complex with many add-ons) and [https://maps.me/ MAPS.ME] (easy but limited). === By bus === Buses are not very popular means of transport in Georgia. They are mostly used to ride inside big cities or international routes. Several commercial companies provide bus connections to airports, timed specifically to international flights to/from Georgia. ===By marshrutka=== {{Infobox|Prices and minibus drivers|[[File:2014 Imeretia, Ckaltubo, Marszrutka linii Ckaltubo-Kutaisi na dworcu autobusowym.jpg|250px|right]] Since marshrutkas are privately owned vehicles, some drivers try to charge tourists several lari more than locals. If you want to save a penny, ask a local about the price and give money straight to the driver or pay at a ticket office (''{{lang|ka|სალარო}}'') if there is one.}} A ''marshrutka'' (from Russian: ''{{lang|ru|маршрутка}}'', plural ''marshrutki''; Georgian: {{lang|ge|მარშუტკა}} or {{lang|ge|მარშრუტკა}}), which essentially is a minibus, is the most common way to travel and operate on established routes. After finding out the number of your route, flag down a marshrutka on the street by holding out your hand, palm facing down. There are also marshrutkas routes between cities. Their routes end usually at bus stations and city markets. Their destination is written in Georgian, on a sign in the front window. Ask marshrutka drivers if you cannot find the minibus you are looking for. Start early, because marshrutkas mostly run in the morning and become sparse in the afternoon. After 16:00 it can be hard to catch a marshrutka to/from smaller destinations. Larger cities have connections up to 19:00. Often, it is better to head to the exit of a city and catch marshrutkas there instead of hoping to get one at the bus station. This way you can even try by thumb if necessary. === By train === '''Georgian Railway''' (GR) has an extensive network of trains in Georgia. There are two types of trains: fast (with limited places, almost always modern) or local (slow and old but very cheap with unlimited places). There is also night trains available, between Zugdidi or Batumi and Tbilisi, and Tbilisi and Yerevan or Baku. The train is generally not cheaper than marshrutkas, instead sometimes twice as expensive. But of course it is far more comfortable than being squeezed into a minibus. There are several ways to buy ticket: * {{buy|url=https://ticket.railway.ge|name=railway.ge|alt=the official website|content=Needs registration. Has a dedicated app. See [https://ticket.railway.ge/Home/Instructions instructions] (languages: GE, EN, RU)}} * {{buy|url=https://tkt.ge/railway?culture=en|name=tkt.ge|content=The most convenient and easy to use website of all 4 (languages: GE, EN)}} * {{buy|url=https://biletebi.ge/startup.aspx?id=90|name=biletebi.ge|content= (languages: GE, EN, RU)}} * {{buy|url=http://www.matarebeli.ge/en/home|name=matarebeli.ge|content=Has a dedicated app (languages: GE, EN)}} ===By thumb=== Hitchhiking is the best thing to do in Georgia. It is often called ''autostop'' and a great way to get to know locals like nothing else. Specifically mentioning "autostop" will let people know, you are not looking for a taxi or paid ride. Generally, Georgians do not use the thumb but just stand by the road and are occasionally be picked up by cars. However, since its opening to the west, Georgia has changed a lot and nowadays many people, especially younger folks, understand the meaning of the thumb and due to the ever improving English of the population are happy to take tourists along the way for a chat or even a lunch together to show their hospitality. ===By taxi=== Taxis in Georgia are a convenient method of travel, and they are very cheap. Trips within Tbilisi range from 3 to 5 lari, depending on distance (6 lari costs a taxi from one corner of Tbilisi to another), and you can negotiate a price with cab drivers. The vast majority of taxis in Georgia used to be unofficial "gypsy cabs", driven by anyone looking to make some money. Such unmarked taxi services in Georgia were generally safe and widely used by foreigners living and visiting the country. Drivers would, however, exaggerate the price for foreigners and so it was best to establish the destination and price before getting in the car. The situation changed a few years ago when all official taxis were obligated to install meters with fixed rates (about 1 lari/km). All taxis in the capital of Georgia that can be hailed are white and have taxi lights. The ride service apps [https://bolt.eu/en/cities/ Bolt] (in Batumi, Kutaisi, Tbilisi), [https://taximaxim.ge/en/ Maxim] (Batumi, Gori, Kobuleti, Kutaisi, Poti, Rustavi, Tbilisi, Zestafoni, Zugdidi) and [https://taxi.yandex.com.ge/en_ge/ Yandex.Taxi] are very popular in cities. Using them can spare you from a lot of negotiations with potential taxi drivers. The price is 3 lari for calling a taxi, which includes couple of kilometers. Also, they offer great rates for longer trips outside of cities (for example, 12 lari for a 20-min ride) and sometimes even across borders. ===By bicycle=== As the country is relatively mountainous, you should consider a mountain bike. Many roads remain unpaved. But by bike allows you to reach more remote regions. You can rent mountain bikes in bigger towns, for example at the [http://adventure.ge Adventure club] in Tbilisi. ===By plane=== Georgia has domestic flights, though they're seldom convenient. Georgian Airways fly once a week between Tbilisi International Airport TBS and Batumi. There are other flights, in rinky-dinky light aircraft, to the mountain resorts of Mestia and Ambrolauri, from Natakhtari airfield on the northern edge of Tbilisi and from Batumi. Tickets for internal flights are done by [https://ticket.vanillasky.ge/ Vanilla Sky]. ===By car=== Roads connecting Tbilisi and other major cities are typically smooth and in good condition, but country roads are often in disrepair. Though traffic laws are enforced, driving can still be very chaotic. In rural areas, cattle and deer may occasionally slow traffic. A car is a convenient way to tour the countryside, but with the abundance of taxis, buses, and minibuses, most visitors may be better off in the passenger's seat. Be very careful when driving in Georgia. The driver license exam in Georgia is quite lenient: locals only have to pass theory and driving test on a polygon, without a real test on streets. So, Georgians learn how to drive only after getting their driver license or even years before getting one. Also, overtaking without any visibility is a common practice. A 6-yo child sitting on a parent's lap and driving a car on a serpentine road is not that uncommon. So be extremely careful when driving in sophisticated places. ====Rental==== Many of the international rental companies like Budget, SIXT, Dollar, and AVIS are present in Georgia. However, their prices are as high as in Western Europe. Instead, you can use a local rental company, which have rates from {{GEL|60}} (Tbilisi) or {{GEL|100}} (Kutaisi) per day with full cover. You won't even have to put down a deposit or have your credit card blocked. In Tbilisi many private people rent their second car during the week and use their smaller car for the city.

It is divided into 100 tetri. Banknotes are issued in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 lari, and the rarely-used 200 and 500 lari. Coins are issued in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 tetri, and 1, 2 lari. There are two issues of the 20-, 50- and 100-lari notes: from 2004 and (in stronger colours) from 2016. Both are valid, and no date has yet been announced for withdrawal of the older notes, but you obviously don't want to leave the country with these. Indeed it's difficult to redeem any form of Georgian currency outside of Europe. Always have small money with you. 50- or 100-lari notes or so might be difficult to use for payment, especially with taxi drivers. But the latter is often just an excuse not to give change, just ask ahead if the taxi driver has change. Many Georgians are not very good with numbers and money. Don't bother '''paying''' amounts of money, so you get back an even amount, like 10.75 if you owe 7.75. That will confuse them infinitely, and you will never get your desired change. ====Money exchange==== Exchange kiosks in Tbilisi and Kutaisi generally have only a 1% spread between "buy" and "sell" for US dollars or euros, but could be as little as 0.25%. Rates for other currencies like Turkish lira or ruble, or outside of cities, usually is much worse. The kiosk may ask for your ID, but usually they won't for routine amounts. ====ATMs==== ATMs are available countrywide and it is generally good to have a card from providers like Visa or MasterCard. In smaller cities or village the ATMs become more sparse. '''Lari''': If withdrawing lari (GEL), never accept on-site currency conversion at ATMs, always let your bank do the exchange. ATM rates can be more than 7% or worse. Your foreign bank is usually 1-3% off, in addition to some fixed fee. Here are ATM fees of local banks for lari withdrawals: * ''TBC'' has no fee; max {{GEL|400|when=2021-12-01}} * ''VTB'' has no fee; max {{GEL|200|when=2021-12-01}} * ''BasisBank'' has no fee * ''HalykBank'' has no fee, but the rates USD/GEL is 2% in bank's favour * ''Bank of Georgia'' charges {{GEL|3|when=2021-12-01}} per withdrawal * ''ProCreditBank'' charges {{EUR|8|when=2022-02-22}} per withdrawal '''Dollars''': Almost all banks allow their ATMs to withdraw US dollars (except for VTB bank, which allows it only to their customers). * ''BasisBank'' has no fee * ''CartuBank'' has no fee * ''HalykBank'' has no fee * ''ZiraatBank'' has no fee * ''Bank of Georgia'' has $1 fee * ''Terabank'' has $1 fee * ''Liberty'' has 2% fee * [https://www.tbcbank.ge/web/en/ TBC bank] :* US$100—200: withdrawal fee US$5 :* US$300—500: withdrawal fee US$10 :* US$600—1000: withdrawal fee US$20 '''Euros''': {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; clear: right; text-align: center;" |+ class="nowrap" | ATM&nbsp;locations |- !

In Georgia you will find many art shops, paintings and painters who sell their works on the streets. Their work is of high quality and is often very good value. * Antiques & other miscellaneous gifts – In Georgia you will able to find many antiques not only from Georgia, but also from the Middle East, Russia, the Mediterranean and other parts of Europe. * Georgian wine. Georgia is the cradle of wine making, and with 521 original varieties of grape you will be sure to find excellent wines. Wine can be bought in vinoteques and thise have a great choice, but in supermarkets might have some those wines for a cheaper price. Some home-made wine might be cheap and tasty, but beware buying wine that is ubelievably cheap, since, according to some locals, it might be concocted from a wine powder. The quality of wine making improved immensely following re-orientation of wine exports to EU markets. * Cognac. Georgian cognac is unique as it is made from Georgian wine. Try Saradjishvili 'Tbilisi' cognac. * Outside the cities, you might find hand-made carpets for sale. * Georgians love to drink, so the country has a seemingly infinite number of beers, wines, liquors and distilled drinks. To take home, buy a bottle of ''chacha'', a potent grape vodka somewhat similar to Lebanese ''arak'', Italian ''grappa'' or German ''obstler''. [[File:Souvenir stand in a supermarket in Georgia, December 2020.jpg|thumb|Some souvenir stands present only Georgian honey and Turkish dried fruits, which are not very authentic]] * If you'd like to bring souvenir food to home, you may easily find packaged churchkhela or tklapi (Georgian: ტყლაპი), clay bottles with wines, or spices. By the way, some supermarkets are included in the tax free system, so you can contact the store administrator and apply for a tax refund on your purchases. Georgian export commodities (especially wine and mineral water) used to be widely counterfeited in the domestic and former Soviet Union markets. For example, the Borjomi bottling plant used to produce roughly one million bottles of Borjomi per year, but there were three million bottles sold in Russia alone! In 2007, the government and business groups began a large-scale fight against counterfeit wine and mineral water so the sale of counterfeit products has almost been eliminated. However, when stocking up on bottled wine or mineral water, it is best to buy it at large supermarkets which have better control of their procurement than smaller stores. === Supermarkets === In supermarkets, you will find all the usual food products, mainly brought from Russia, Turkey and sometimes Europe. There are only 2 hypermarkets chains: Goodwill (გუდვილი) and Carrefour (კარფურ). An average locals frequent Carrefour; Goodwill is a bit more expensive. Smaller chains could be found in any district of any town. The most popular chains are: Nikora (ნიკორა), SPAR (სპარი), Smart (სმარტი), and Ori Nabiji (ორი ნაბიჯი). The latter is the cheapest of them. There is also a special chain of supermarkets called Europroduct (ევროპროდუქტი), that imports food from EU. Besides mentioned supermarket chains, small no-name shops are very popular with locals. You can buy groceries there, although the choice will be much more modest. However, those shops have a friendly and homely atmosphere, because the locals are regulars; if you visit the same place for 4 or 5 times, shop vendors who are usually the owners will start to recognise you. ===Costs=== Travelling in Georgia is very affordable. Restaurants, street food and hotels are cheap for a Western traveller. But keep in mind not to brag around about your money or expenses, because many locals live very poor and drag on — a taxi driver in Tbilisi earns around 50 lari per day (working 8-10 hr) and monthly retirement check is {{GEL|200|when=30-11-2020}}. So the next time you haggle over a trinket, it may be a good idea to yield. A budget traveller would have no difficulties getting by (staying very well fed and exploring many of the sights) on less than {{GEL|500}} per week, even in the capital. If you visit Georgia for one week, you would have a great time if you bring US$400 (€350) with you. With this amount you will be able to stay in a good hotel, go on wonderful sightseeing tours and eat good food. If you want to travel like a king, everything beyond US$800 (€700) per week will bring you close to this goal. Good indicators whether you are in a very touristy area or not, is the price of 1 khinkali (0.7-0.8 lari is a normal price). ===Tipping=== Tipping is common in Western-style restaurants in the capital, but almost never expected in more traditional establishments. In many restaurants, especially in big cities, there is a '''10% service charge'''. In some places in Tbilisi it could be even up to '''15%'''. This is almost never explicitly mentioned and may be added to your bill without warning, so it is advisable to ask beforehand. Also, tipping is never expected in bars. ==Eat== {{seealso|Georgian cuisine}} [[File:Georgian Feast (7).jpg|thumb|Guests partaking in a ''supra'', a Georgian banquet]] Georgian traditional cuisine is delicious, cheap, and universal. It is also justly famous throughout the former Soviet Union (visitors to Moscow will have noticed the large number of Georgian restaurants). Georgia fills a list of wonderful, often meat, dishes, usually flavored with garlic, coriander, walnuts, and dill. A traditional Georgian feast (supra) is a sight to behold, with a spread that no group could finish, accompanied by at least 20 toasts set to wine or brandy. Just wandering into the likeliest looking local joint in any neighborhood whatsoever, even just a block or two from the main tourist streets, will inevitably provide an excellent dining experience at bargain prices - and quite possibly any amount of proud attention and invitations to drink wine from staff and regulars delighted that a foreigner has discovered their haunt. Simply pick by random off the menu and let the unique tastes of Georgia surprise you. Italian- and American-style dishes (pizzas, hamburgers, etc.) are usually a pale copy of the originals. It is much better to try local food. If you can, try to get yourself invited to dinner at someone's home (this is not too difficult in Georgia, owing to their hospitality and general desire to stuff foreign visitors full of all the food they can afford). The food in restaurants is an odd set piece of the same dishes over and over. But Georgian cuisine is far richer, and has an untold number of dishes to try, prepared from scratch with fresh, locally grown products (although supermarkets are now spreading throughout Georgia). One special kind of meal in Georgia is the '''supra''', which means a banquet to celebrate something like a wedding or a birthday. These events, led by a ''tamada'' (master of ceremonies), include an abundance of food and drink (wine especially) and go on for hours. ===Dishes=== [[File:Georgian cuisine (32242676327).jpg|thumb|Khinkali and lobiani]] One of the most famous dishes of the Georgian cuisine is {{listing|name=khinkali|wikidata=Q971820}}. These are dumplings with different fillings: minced spiced meat, mushrooms, cheese, or vegetables, served in enormous quantities. But not like what you are used to doing with dumplings. Georgian men will easily eat 15 huge dumplings, and begin by seasoning the dumplings with pepper. Then grab the dumpling however you like, from the top "handle" if it pleases you (locals often stick a fork in the side of the knot so as not to puncture the dumpling), and take a small bite out of the side to slurp up the juice. Do not let ''any'' juice fall on your plate, or you will get your chin messy. Then, still holding the khinkali, eat around the top, finishing the dumpling and then placing the twisted top on your plate—traditionally the top is not eaten. It is also nice to look with pride upon all your tops once, with practice, you get into the double digits with these dumplings. Wash them down with wine, Kazbegi beer, or a "limonati" of whichever flavour you prefer (most common flavours are lemon, pear, and estragon/tarragon—which is quite refreshing). Another signature dish is {{listing|name=khachapuri|wikidata=Q279575}} &ndash; a cheese filled bread, which more resembles cheese pie. It comes several different varieties: :* ''imeruli'' ''(იმერული)'' or ''imeretian'': These are the most common and often come with every meal, just filled with (imeruli aka cooking) cheese. Often circular, similar to Lobiani. :* ''megruli (მეგრული) or mingrelian'': Like ''imeruli'' but topped with additional cheese. :* ''acharuli (აჭარული) or adjarian'': Boat-shaped like puri (break) with an open face and filled with egg in addition to cheese. This one is much more filling and a single proper dish. :There also exist these less common variations: :* ''guruli (გურული) or gurian'': This one, looking like a half moon, has cut boiled eggs as additional filling. :* ''p^henovani (ფენოვანი):'' A version made with puff pastry dough instead of normal dough. :*''samepho (სამეფო)'': Instead of regular Imeruli cheese, the better Sulguni cheese is used. :* ''mkhlovana (მხლოვანა) or mtiuluri (მთიულური)'' : Besides the cheese also spinach is included. :* ''osuri'': The Ossetian version, with potatoe added. {{listing|name=Lobiani|wikidata=Q16909052}}, a bean-filled bread is another notable dish and the most popular version is ''Rachuli Lobiani'' (რაჭული ლობიანი), like a Khachapuri, but with bean and bacon. ''Imeretian'' , again, is just bean-filled. One is mostly too much for one person. Any one of these just listed dishes beyond 5 lari in a reasonably priced local restaurant is probably too much for 1 person. So, you better combine only one dish with salad and drinks for two people. As in most traditional cuisines, there are many '''meat dishes'''. They are common in the form of stews or sauces, but also barbecued meat is popular: mtsvadi which is known as shashlik in Russia is not just a favorite at outdoor meals but at restaurants too. [[File:Bladdernut salad Telawi (1).jpg|thumb|Bladdernut salad]] There are lots of '''vegetarian dishes''' too (mostly in western parts of Georgia) which are quite tasty and accompany most of local parties with heavy wine drinking. However, vegetarianism as such is an alien concept to Georgians, even though the Georgian Orthodox Church obliges its followers to "fast" at various times of the year including the run up to Christmas (7th January). Such fasting means abstaining from meat and eating vegetables and dairy. '''Bread''' plays a big role in the Georgian cuisine and {{listing|name=(shotis) puri|wikidata=Q2920132}} (შოთის პური) is the most regular bread found in Georgia, made of white flour, and shaped like a canoe. There is also ''Lavashi'', which is larger. Unfortunately, there are certain problems with '''milk and dairy products''' in Georgia. There are few cows in the country, the Georgian strains yield much less milk than in Western countries, and the government doesn't subsidize the industry. For these reasons, almost all dairy products are imported from Europe, Russia and Turkey and hence are not cheap. Strangely, despite all this home-made cheese is very popular ingredient in dishes and is sold almost everywhere. One signature '''sweet''' of Georgia is {{listing|name=Churchkhela|wikidata=Q1477592}} (ჩურჩხელა), a candle-shaped candy made of grape must, nuts, and flour. 1.5-2 lari. ==Drink== === Chacha === Chacha (ჭაჭა) is a home-made fruit-based distilled clear spirit analogous to Italian grappa. Chacha is made of grape pomace (grape residue left after making wine). It can also be produced from non-ripe or non-cultured grapes and in some cases fig, tangerine, orange or mulberry. It is usually bottled "manually". It can be purchased in corner markets, Farmers Markets, back alleys and basements (kind of under the table) throughout Georgia. 0.5 l start at 2.50 lari. It generally comes in regular water bottles. When bought, it is a good idea to check it right away. Sometimes it can be sour, you will note a weird taste right away. There is also commercially-made chacha that can be found in many shops and supermarkets, throughout available in Tbilisi, where you will have a hard time finding home-made one. The industrial however is much more expensive, starting at 10 lari for 0.5 l. ===Wine=== [[File:Saperavi.jpg|250px|thumb|Saperavi wines]] Georgia has one of the oldest wine-making traditions in the world and has been called the birthplace of wine (also as "Cradle of Wine"), due to archaeological findings which indicate wine production back to 5000 BC. Georgia produces some of the best wines in the world, and thanks to the ancient tradition of wine production and amazing climate, it holds its own with French and Italian wines. Georgian wines are quite famous. It may be true that they are little known in the West, but they certainly are famous among the roughly 280 million people in the former Soviet Union, where Georgian wines remain a welcome drink at any dining table. Export of home-bottled wine, which is often the best type, is prohibited. ====Red==== *Saperavi (საფერავი sah-peh-rah-vee) *Mukuzani (მუკუზანი moo-k'oo-zah-nee) *Khvanchkara (ხვანჭკარა khvahnch-k'ah-rah) - semi-sweet *Kindzmarauli (კინძმარაული keendz-mah-rah-oo-lee) - semi-sweet ====White==== *Tsinandali (წინანდალი ts'ee-nahn-dah-lee) *Kakheti (კახეთი k'ah-kheh-tee) *Tbilisuri (თბილისური tbee-lee-soo-ree) *Rkatsiteli (რქაწითელი rrkah-tsee-tellee) Imports of Georgian wine and mineral water have been banned by the Russian government, because of the political tension between the two counties. ===Beer=== Georgia produces a growing number of local beers. A beer tradition has existed in Georgia since ancient times in the mountainous regions of Khevsureti and [[Tusheti]]. After independence from the Soviet Union, Georgia revived its beer production and introduced its high quality beers to the market. The first and most popular Georgian beer was Kazbegi. Today, beer production in Georgia is still growing, offering high quality beers (thanks to the high quality mountain spring waters in Georgia and to German designed beer factories). There are also many foreign beers such as Heineken, Bitburger, Lowenbrau, Guinness, etc. ====Georgian beer==== *Aluda *Argo *Batumuri *Bavariis Herzogi *Kasri *Kazbegi (ყაზბეგი q'ahz-beh-gee) *Khevsuruli *Lomisi *Natakhtari *Tushuri ===Mineral waters=== [[File:Borjomi water.jpg|thumb|Public mineral water source in [[Borjomi]]]] Georgian mineral waters have exceptional and interesting tastes, which are very different from French and Italian varieties. The most famous Georgian mineral waters are [[Borjomi]] (ბორჯომი bohr-joh-mee), Likani (ლიკანი lee-k'ah-nee), and Nabeglavi (ნაბეღლავი nah-beh-ghlah-vee). But there is a plethora of less well-known springs located in small towns and alongside roads throughout the country that is worth sampling. Borjomi isn't just ordinary sparkling water as it has a very high fluoride content and it may take some time to get used to the taste. It is however quite popular also outside Georgia (in the former Soviet republics). ===Lagidze waters (soft drink)=== Mitrofan Lagidze (ლაღიძე lah-ghee-dzeh) is a surname of a famous Georgian businessman of the 19th century who produced very popular soft drinks in Georgia. Nowadays these waters are called “the Lagidze Waters”. Lagidze soft drinks are made only with natural fruit components, without any chemical, artificial sugars or other additives. The most popular flavours are estragon/tarragon and cream & chocolate. ==Sleep== The number of major Western European hotels and also budget hostels is growing every year, and not only in Tbilisi, but also in Batumi and other Georgian cities. Throughout much of the countryside, however, private homes are the cheapest and most enjoyable option, though this option is very much a home-stay; expect little privacy. Since many hostel-like places are popping up rapidly, they are often poorly signposted, and from the outside a great hostel might look like an ordinary apartment. Hence, make sure beforehand to get a detailed description (including GPS) of where to find the place and which apartment to ring at&mdash;90% of the time GPS and address are correct. Otherwise, you might be lost forever and even locals won't know where this newly popped up place is. On the other hand, there are countless guesthouses all over the country, often marked with a guest house sign. So, don't bother too much about booking ahead, go with the flow and see where you end up. Check prices on the usual reservation websites and turn up on site stating the price; owners will happily give you the online rate, so they can skip the fee they pay on such websites. Use Viber or Facebook Messenger to communicate with them. ==Learn== There are a handful of universities in Georgia which offer degrees or exchange programs taught in English, and among them are: *[https://www.ug.edu.ge/ University of Georgia] *[http://www.gruni.edu.ge/ Grigol Robakidze University] *[http://www.ibsu.edu.ge/ International Black Sea University] (English exclusively) *[http://www.cu.edu.ge/?l=1 Caucasus University] *[http://gau.ge/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3&Itemid=3 Georgian American University] {{dead link|December 2020}} (English exclusively) *[http://www.freeuni.edu.ge/en Free University of Tbilisi] *[http://unik.edu.ge/index.php?lang=en Kutaisi University] *[http://www.americancouncils.ge/ Intensive Georgian Language Workshop for Beginners, American Councils] ==Work== Georgians are hard-working people in general, but they also like to have enough free time to enjoy life. Work can start at 10:00 or 11:00 and end at 18:00–19:00. Georgians like to take an hour lunch break and enjoy their food while socializing with their co-workers. People often take two weeks or a whole month off work to enjoy holidays with family. It is an attitude in many ways similar to southern Europe and Mediterranean ones. Approaches to punctuality used to be very relaxed, but this is now changing (at least, in Tbilisi and other main cities). Foreigners from most countries, including all major English-speaking countries and EU members, are allowed to live visa-free in Georgia for 360 days (and can renew their stay by leaving and re-entering), and to work and engage in business without a visa. Despite this, work for foreigners is generally very limited due to the local salaries being below a living wage by most standards, even for people from other parts of Eastern Europe and the more "well off" former USSR countries like Estonia and Lithuania. A local wage will typically be around 300–400 lari a month, with only a small section of professional managers earning 2000–2500 lari a month. However, most Georgian families have one or more apartments and houses in the countryside, and when one does not have to pay full private sector rent and can share utilities, the local wages will be sufficient for food and drink. If looking for a hospitality job in Georgia, expect to be overworked (14-16 hour days are hardly unheard of), and remember hourly wage isn't really a concept here so any overtime is effectively unpaid. Foreigners working in Georgia are either employed by the main NGOs like the UNHCR, Save the Children, Danish Refugee Council, etc. Some large Georgian companies may employ foreign managers and consultants. These workers are generally salaried according to Western European norms. One great way for travelers to experience Georgia is to participate in the Teach & Learn with Georgia program. This program places English-speakers in Georgian schools all over the country to assist local teachers in public schools. The Georgian government has set ambitious goals to make English the second language of the country (replacing Russian) by 2020. Participants in the program will have their airfare paid for, will be housed with a local family and will receive 400–500 lari stipend a month, there might not be vacancies, though. However, there are a handful of language schools, especially in Tbilisi that pay roughly the same, though without providing airfare, room or board. ==Stay safe== [[File:Police car in Tbilisi (78).jpg|thumb|Georgian police car]] Most of Georgia is very safe for foreigners. Crime rates are among the lowest in Europe. The Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs provides [http://police.ge/en/useful-information/recommendations-for-foreign-visitors some useful information] for foreign visitors. '''Corruption''', once a big hassle for tourists, has become far less visible since the Rose Revolution. It is now safe and reasonable to trust the Georgian police, as the infamous and corrupt traffic police have been disbanded. Police cars patrol streets in Georgian cities and towns regularly, and can help in case of car trouble or any other problem on the road. Use of '''seat belts''' is now obligatory and strictly enforced. Radars are installed at all main junctures and on key streets and highways throughout the country. However, Georgia leads the South Caucasus in reported road traffic accidents. A person is injured every hour in a traffic-related accident, while one death occurs every 18 hours, according to a study released by a Georgian NGO, the Safe Driving Association. The World Health Organization puts the number at 16.8 fatalities per 100,000 a year (compared to Azerbaijan at 13 and Armenia at 13.9). '''Women''' should be aware that many Georgian men do not believe "no" means no. They believe that no means maybe and maybe means yes. It is not uncommon for men to be very pushy with foreign women in particular. It is best to stay with groups and not to smile or give men attention. If you make a Georgian friend or get to know a Georgian man well, they will take care of you when you go out. There are many kinds of Georgian men, but keep your guard up. As for dressing, follow the general rules of being more conservative in the countryside than in cities. An easy way to avoid unwanted attention is to cover your legs. Georgian girls don't show a lot of leg even in summer, so even a naughty hint of knee can elicit public ogles. Conversely, tight clothes are fairly standard. According to new '''marijuana laws''', as of early 2019 it is decriminalized to be actively smoking a joint but ''not'' legal to have marijuana in your possession (or to sell, etc.) If you are out with young Georgians, you're likely to be invited to smoke, but even if you find somewhere, usually best not to risk actually buying it. It's not great quality outside of Svanetia anyway. '''Taking picture''' inside of churches is not welcome, and taking a picture of a priest in churches is an offence and even a crime. The display of '''Soviet symbols''' is '''illegal''' in Georgia, with only limited exceptions within Stalin's hometown of [[Gori]]. ===Tbilisi=== Things in Tbilisi and the surrounding countryside have calmed down a lot. Although Tbilisi sometimes has been singled out for its (not always deserved) reputation for street crime, muggings are rather rare. In the early 2000s, other crime-related hazards in Tbilisi included apartment break-ins and car-jacking, but the situation has changed dramatically, and today Georgia boasts one of the lowest crime rates in Europe. ===Kutaisi=== The available evidence indicates that Kutaisi, the second largest city in Georgia, suffers from crime rates significantly higher than the national average. It is very important to exercise caution in Kutaisi after dark. ===Adjara=== The conflict between Adjara and the central government ended with little violence, and it is now perfectly safe to travel throughout the region. The once rampant corruption should now be a rarity for foreigners. Passing through customs at the Sarpi-Hopa border crossing is now routine and uneventful for most tourists, though at certain times it may take two hours or longer, due to long queues. ===Separatist regions=== '''[[Abkhazia]]''' and '''[[South Ossetia]]''' pose challenges for visitors, South Ossetia more than Abkhazia. Abkhazia is easy enough to visit, provided attention is paid to paperwork and border crossings. South Ossetia remains more untamed. ===LGBT travellers=== While support of LGBT rights has been slowly increasing among the general public over the past several years, homosexuality is considered a major deviation from highly traditional Orthodox Christian values prevalent in the country, where public discussions of sexuality in general tend to be viewed in a highly negative light. Georgia prohibits discrimination against all LGBT people in legislation, labor-related or otherwise (one of few former Soviet countries that does). Since 2012, Georgian law has considered crimes committed on the grounds of one's sexual orientation or gender identity an aggravating factor in prosecution. Homosexuals are often targets of abuse and physical violence, often actively encouraged by religious leaders. LGBT persons must exercise maximal caution when showing affection towards a person of the same sex. Doing this anywhere outside the capital centre or designated spaces might result in violence. Hugging, kissing on the cheek and touching in public between heterosexual men is pretty common and is an innate part of the Caucasian culture. Hence, such actions between partners are often unnoticed, but they are still dangerous if they show you are more than friends. There are one or two places in the country that are safe places for LGBT people: one of them is the Bassiani club, which has a weekly LGBT night. ==Stay healthy== [[File:ქართული სასაფლაო წყნეთში თბილისში.jpg|thumb|550px|Trashed cemetery in Tskneti, Tbilisi, Georgia]] In terms of ecology, Georgia has a lot of problems with waste management, especially in villages and small towns, where municipal services are almost non-existent. Many Georgians don't feel any guilt, when throwing away trash just outside their property. Whole slopes of hills could be filled with trash thrown out, even close to sacred places such as cemeteries. Good quality prescription '''drugs''' can be easily obtained in pharmacies without any prescription. Highly recommended to pay attention to the warranties, since pharmacies would want to ditch outdated drug as fast as possible. In Tbilisi you will be able to find many '''gyms''' and fitness centres with swimming pools and brand new training equipment. In other cities they are rarer. The whole Georgia is covered with white-blue outdoor fitness stations, but those are not functional to work as a gym replacement. === Animal life === [[File:Macrovipera lebetina obtusa.jpg|thumb|right|Macrovipera lebetina obtusa]] Rarely, but one might stumble upon '''levant blunt-nosed vipers''' (Macrovipera lebetina obtusa). Locals call it გიურზა (from Persian ''gyurza''). These vipers live in desert, semi-desert and mountain-steppe areas. They are common in dry foothills and on mountain slopes overgrown with bushes, in rocky gorges with streams and springs, in river valleys. Gyurzas are also found on the outskirts of large cities, where they have the necessary shelter and a good food base in the form of rats. [[File:Euscorpius fg12.jpg|thumb|right|Euscorpius italicus]] [[File:Scorpion 006.jpg|thumb|right|Euscorpius mingrelicus]] In Central and Western parts of Georgia there are two types of '''scorpions''': ''Euscorpius mingrelicus'' and ''Euscorpius italicus''. Both types reach lengths of 4 cm. Locals assure, that these scorpion bites are not pleasant (similar to a wasp bite), but never deadly. === Air === '''Passive smoking''' could be a big problem, since tobacco is very cheap compared to Western countries and many men smoke, even inside taxis, bars and restaurants. Several industrial towns like [[Rustavi]] or [[Kaspi]] have problems with air pollution. Regulation concerning air pollution entered into force only in 2020, hence it's not advised to live in these places. === Food === [[Travellers' diarrhea#Giardiasis|Giardia]] is a common issue for foreign visitors. Contraction is most likely via: * tap water * swallowed water from lakes, rivers, pools, or jacuzzis * raw fruits & vegetables * unpasteurized milk or other dairy products Drinking '''tap water''' is generally safe, but it's better to ask house owners if they drink it themselves. A big health problem is high concentration of '''lead''' in air, some food, spices and water in Georgia. In 2018 several EU diplomats found out to have high concentration of lead in their blood tests. If you plan to stay beyond a short travel, be aware of possible dangers of living in old apartments with old wall paints and close to high traffic zones. === Vaccination === [http://www.ncdc.ge/ NCDC] (Georgian National Center for Disease Control and Public Health) recommends vaccination against COVID19 before travelling to Georgia, but does not provide instructions on other vaccinations. But [https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/traveler/none/georgia CDC recommends] these vaccination to have completed: * routine vaccinations: these include Chickenpox (Varicella), Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis, Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR), Polio, Shingles * COVID-19 * Hepatitis A * Hepatitis B * Measles * Rabies * Flu (influenza) season (Jan-Mar) is perhaps worse in Georgia than in, say, Western Europe and vaccinations might be a consideration for the particularly vulnerable. '''[[Rabies]]'''. Stray dogs are everywhere in Georgia, about a half of which are not vaccinated. Being a vestige of the old times and outdated needs, many locals get themselves a dog not as a pet, but to guard their property. Most of the time stray dogs are not aggressive, but there are quite some cases when people get bitten by them. Georgians are very cautious and afraid of dogs, and very often aggressive towards them; dogs in their turn are quite afraid of people (especially those holding a stick) and might get aggressive out of fear as well. Deaths from being bitten by [[Rabies|rabid dogs]] decrease every year, but it's better to get vaccinated before travelling to Georgia, since developing partial immunity takes more than 1 month. One shot costs {{GEL|18|when=2022-01-07}} (Indian vaccine). The French vaccine called Verorab costs {{GEL|45|when=2020-11-01}} in a pharmacy and {{GEL|70|when=2022-01-07}} in a clinic. If you get bitten by a dog (even having being vaccinated), immediately visit one of below-mentioned state hospitals: * in [[Tbilisi]]: {{Listing |type=other |name=Preventive Medicine and Immunization Centre |alt=პრევენციული მედიცინისა და იმუნიზაციის ცენტრი |email=centerimun@gmail.com |phone=+995 32 239 21 49 |hours=24/7 |address=Tbilisi, Tashkenti 10a |lat=41.72475056235337 |long=44.764033224087484 |lastedit=2020-11-03 |url=https://facebook.com/306897926088815 {{dead link|December 2020}} |content=}} * in [[Kutaisi]]: {{Listing |type=other |name=Imereti Regional Clinical Hospital |alt=ქუთაისის რეფერალური ჰოსპიტალი |phone=+995 431 22 41 21 |address=Kutaisi, Otskheli 2 |lat=42.24668894752438 |long=42.68507838426313 |lastedit=2020-11-03 |content=}} * in [[Batumi]]: {{Listing |type=other |name=Republican Clinical Hospital |alt=რესპუბლიკური კლინიკური საავადმყოფო |phone=+995 422 27 68 07 |address=2 Javakhishvili St, Batumi |lat=41.64035401427205 |long=41.62357913770933 |lastedit=2020-11-03 |content=}} [[Pests#Ticks|Tick-borne encephalitis]] happen extremely rarely and local immunization centers don't even have vaccines for this. ==Respect== Georgians in general are friendly, welcoming people, and they are hospitable to a fault. If a Georgian invites you somewhere, they will often pick up the tab. Even raising the subject of who will pay the bill can be considered embarrassing for your host. As the country is an emerging capitalist country, don't take advantage of people's hospitality. Georgians in general are direct communicators. They are unafraid of expressing their emotions and thoughts on something, no matter how bad or good something might be. They also use aggressive body language and raise their voices in conversations; to most visitors, this implies that Georgians may be an argumentative bunch, but Georgians tend to use emotions to convey interest in a conversation. What may seem like a shouting match in public may actually be a simple, friendly discussion! Direct personal questions are commonly asked. To Georgians, it's not considered impolite, but rather it's a way to get to know someone fully. As in many places around the former Soviet Union, women are treated with chivalry. Women should not be surprised or alarmed if their male Georgian friends take the initiative to pay the bills at a restaurant, open every door in front of them, and/or help them carry items or objects. Men should understand that these nuances will be expected by Georgian women, even if they're not in a romantic relationship with them. === Sensitive issues === Georgia is home to a few separatist/nationalist movements, namely in '''[[Abkhazia]]''' and [[South Ossetia|'''South Ossetia''']]. There is virtually no "safe middle ground" position in these topics, so just don't bring them up. '''Be very cautious when talking about Russia'''. Georgia and Russia have had a hostile, strained, violent history, and discussing Georgian-Russian relations can very quickly make Georgians emotional. Although most Georgians express dislike for the Russian government, some Georgians take it a notch further by expressing hatred towards Russian people. '''Respect Georgia's development'''. Historically, many Western Europeans visited Georgia because they were attracted to the country's ruins and derelict classical buildings. But as Georgia recovers from years of instability, these signs of neglect are inevitably fixed-up, painted and repaired. This causes some ruin enthusiasts to sneer at revitalized historical districts as no longer "authentic". Such comments can be rather offensive because they imply that locals are not the "real" themselves unless they are dirty, poor and living in buildings with collapsing ceilings. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many of Georgia's now-derelict buildings were glitzy aristocratic abodes. '''Do not draw parallels between Georgia and neighbouring Islamic cultures'''. Many tourists are surprised to learn that much of the "exotic flair" in Tbilisi was imported from Europe, as opposed to Asia. Most of the "Oriental", "Moorish" and "Asian"-looking buildings were constructed by famous European architects in the 19th century during Europe's fascination with exotic styles. These landmarks are purposefully designed to look as they do. It is therefore inaccurate, not to mention clichéd, when visitors describe these elements of Georgia as "authentic" or "local"; such descriptions can irk the locals. ==Connect== ===Internet=== * Hostels and hotels usually have free Wi-Fi for their guests, even in Mestia. The same is true for cafés and restaurants. As with any public network, use VPN at all times to secure your data. * There is a free Wi-Fi network all over Tbilisi named "Tbilisi Loves You". ===Phone=== Georgia's '''country code''' is +995. Georgia uses GSM (900&nbsp;MHz and 1800&nbsp;MHz) for mobile phones. Here are the operators: * '''[https://beeline.ge/en Beeline]''' &ndash; a Russian company, the cheapest, but does not get the best reception in some areas.

Charge them later, since at the airport there might be a steep surcharge. Do not fall for seemingly good minute deals — these are rip-offs, everyone uses messengers (hotel owners, guides, bank customer service, even government officials and bank workers would prefer a messenger), so '''you won't need minutes at all, just data'''. Definitely wait for special offers to buy the same amount of traffic 2-3 times cheaper than regular tariffs. Magti and Beeline allow tethering. eSIM is not yet available. If you plan to use Georgian SIM-card outside of Georgia in the future (for example, for SMS-authorization for banking), it is impossible to receive any a service if you hadn't turned on roaming in person at an operator salon. ===Messengers=== Communication with accommodation, tourist information and so on, WhatsApp, Viber and Facebook Messenger are used overwhelmingly in Georgia. A few have Telegram as well, but it is not wide-spread, and you are better off with the former ones. === Mail === Postal services in Georgia have almost ceased to exist. There are no letterboxes or home delivery. Mail does not arrive to recipients, but they are notified and have to collect mail at a post office. Postal rates are very high (it costs {{GEL|4|when=2021-03-01}} to send a postcard to another country without tracking number and {{GEL|14|when=2021-03-01}} to send it with a tracking number, while in neighbouring Armenia it costs ~1 lari). Postcards cost 1-2 lari throughout the country. The few post offices still maintained by ''[http://www.gpost.ge/?site-path=homepage/&site-lang=en Georgian Post]'' are badly signposted and often in derelict buildings. ==Go next== The land border can be crossed to [[Turkey]], [[Azerbaijan]] and [[Armenia]].

Consequently, the city is well known for producing motorcycles, musical instruments and optoelectronic sensors among other things. For its population of just under a million people, Hamamatsu is a uniquely international city. It is home to almost 16,000 Brazilians, mostly from [[São Paulo (state)|São Paulo]], [[Paraná]], and [[Belém]], as well as 3000 immigrants from [[Peru]], giving it the highest per-capita concentration of South Americans in Japan. The city also has sizable immigrant populations from [[Indonesia]], [[South Korea]], the [[Philippines]], [[China]], [[Nepal]], and [[Bangladesh]]. The ethnic diversity here provides the city with a wide array of ethnic stores, restaurants, bars and clubs. ==Get in== [[Image:Central hamamatsu map.png|thumb|325px|Map of Central Hamamatsu]] ===By plane=== Geographically, the closest airport to Hamamatsu is in Shizuoka ({{IATA|FSZ}}), 45 km away. However, flights there are very limited: Domestic services are operated by ANA and low-cost carrier Fuji Dream Airlines to destinations including [[Sapporo]], [[Fukuoka]] and [[Okinawa]], and international flights serve [[Seoul]], [[Taipei]] and several destinations in [[China]]. * You can reach Hamamatsu by taking a limousine bus to Shimada Station (25 min, ¥500) and then taking the JR Tokaido Line (45 min, ¥840). * Fuji Dream Airlines passengers have access to a free shuttle bus to Kakegawa Station (35 min away), otherwise a shuttle to Kakegawa costs ¥1000. From Kakegawa, Hamamatsu is 30 min away by local JR train (¥500) or - if the connection is convenient - 11 minutes by shinkansen (¥1360). * It's also possible to take shuttle taxis all the way to Hamamatsu for ¥1500, but these must be reserved at least one day in advance and bookings can only be done in Japanese. The closest international airport is Chubu International Airport ({{IATA|NGO}}) in [[Nagoya]]. Entetsu operates a bus called '''E-Wing''' which runs directly to Hamamatsu Station every 45-60 min. The trip takes 2 hr 10 min and costs ¥3100. The fastest option by train is to take the Meitetsu Limited Express to Nagoya and change to the shinkansen (90-100 min, ¥5650, shinkansen is free with the Japan Rail Pass). If coming from the other major international airports, Kansai ({{IATA|KIX}}) or Narita ({{IATA|NRT}}), the fastest way to reach Hamamatsu is to take the JR limited express to Osaka or Tokyo, respectively, and change to the shinkansen. These trips are free for Japan Rail Pass holders. ===By train=== Hamamatsu is on the '''Tokaido Shinkansen Line''', and the '''JR Tokaido Line''', which serve major cities like [[Tokyo]], [[Nagoya]] and [[Osaka]]. There are a handful of ''Hikari'' and ''Kodama'' services that stop in Hamamatsu. From Tokyo, there are two all-stopping ''Kodama'' trains that depart every hour, making the run to Hamamatsu in about 2 hours. Faster ''Hikari'' trains depart once per hour, running to Hamamatsu in 90 min. The fare is the same for both, at ¥8290 for a reserved seat. ''Kodama'' trains have more unreserved seats than the Hikari; an unreserved seat costs ¥7770. There are hourly departures to Hamamatsu from [[Osaka]] and [[Kyoto]] on either a ''Hikari'' (90 min from Osaka) or ''Kodama'' (2 hr from Osaka). The reserved seat fare is ¥8940 from Shin-Osaka and ¥8290 from Kyoto. Discount bullet train tickets include the [https://www.jrtours.co.jp/kodama/english/ '''Puratto Kodama Ticket'''], which offers a discount for Kodama trains if you purchase at least one day in advance.

With this ticket a trip to Hamamatsu costs ¥6600 from Tokyo (2 hr), ¥3700 from Nagoya (50 min), ¥6600 from Kyoto (1 hr 45 min) and ¥7100 from Shin-Osaka (2 hr). In addition, discounted tickets can be purchased in advance through Japan Railways' official '''[https://smart-ex.jp/en/ SmartEX App]''', available in English and other languages - look for ''Hayatoku'' fares. Regular local train services on the Tokaido Line will get you from Tokyo to Hamamatsu in approximately 4–5 hours for ¥4430, while from Osaka it takes around the same amount of time for ¥5080. Several train changes are required along the way. Train service from [[Nagoya]] take as little as 1 hr 40 min on the regular Tokaido Line (¥1940), changing at [[Toyohashi]], or as little as 30 min on the Shinkansen (¥4420 unreserved seat). All of the above train services are free with a Japan Rail Pass. The ''Sunrise Izumo'' and ''Sunrise Seto'' trains make overnight stops in Hamamatsu on runs to [[Izumo]] and [[Takamatsu]], respectively. ===By car=== {{infobox|Japan's Windy City|Hamamatsu gets little snow in winter, but it often feels much colder than it really is, thanks to what is known as the ''enshu-no-karakkaze'', a very strong and dry wind which blows across Lake Hamana and into the city.

The city is served by the Hamamatsu and Hamamatsu-Nishi interchanges. It is around 8 km from Hamamatsu Interchange to Hamamatsu station. Further to the north, the Shin-Tomei Expressway serves Hamamatsu through the Hamamatsu Hamakita Interchange. It's about 17 km from there to Hamamatsu station. ===By bus=== Hamamatsu serves as a major stop for bus travel throughout the country, thanks in large part to its location near the Tomei Expressway. The main stop for buses is '''Hamamatsu Bus Terminal''', next to Hamamatsu Station. This is not to be confused with Hamamatsu-'''cho''' Bus Terminal, which is located in [[Tokyo]]. Through buses may stop at the Hamamatsu Kita bus stop of the expressway, a good distance from Hamamatsu station. ====From Tokyo==== Daytime buses from Tokyo take around 4 hr 30 min, with most runs to Tokyo in the morning and from Tokyo in the evening. *There are five daily JR ''Tomei Liner'' buses that run from Tokyo Station to Hamamatsu Station (¥3880). *Other buses operate a route from [[Tokyo/Shinjuku|Shinjuku]] Expressway Bus Terminal (¥3880) and [[Tokyo/Shibuya]] (¥3810) to Hamamatsu, with four round-trips per day.

India's heritage and culture is a rich amalgam of the past and present. This vast country, the second most populous in the world and set to become number one, offers the traveller a view of fascinating religions and ethnography, a smorgasbord of languages, and architectural masterpieces that were built millennia ago and remain intact today. As the nation opens up to a globalised world, India still has a depth of history and intensity of culture that awe and fascinate the many who visit there. ==Regions== India is administratively divided into 28 states and 8 union territories. The states are broadly demarcated on linguistic lines. They vary in size; the larger ones are bigger and more diverse than some countries of Europe. The union territories are usually much smaller than the states&mdash;sometimes they are just one city&mdash;and they have much less autonomy. India has two island chains off the mainland – the [[Andaman and Nicobar Islands]] in the Bay of Bengal and the [[Lakshadweep]] in the Arabian Sea. The states and union territories are grouped by convention into the following regions: {{Regionlist | regionmap=Map of India.png | regionmaptext=Map of India's regions and states | regionmapsize=350px | region1name=[[Himalayan North]] | region1color=#d5b66b | region1items=[[Jammu and Kashmir]], [[Ladakh]], [[Himachal Pradesh]], [[Uttarakhand]] | region1description=Mountainous and beautiful, a tourist destination for the adventurous and the spiritual.

If they experience one set of behaviours from the locals in one part of the country, it does not mean that the same behaviour is common in another area. To give a very simple example, a taxi driver in [[Mumbai]] will without saying a word drop their meter flag and return the exact change, while in [[Delhi]] you have to tell the driver to use the meter and hope you get your change, and in other areas taxi drivers don't even have meters and have fixed the rates for even short distances, and you just pay the amount demanded; if you do get an honest driver, consider yourself lucky. India shows extreme variation in most things, and one needs patience and luck to find the best. Never assume you know everything about any aspect of India; be prepared to see completely new things every day. ===History=== {{see also|Mughal Empire|British Raj}} [[File:Varanasikedarghat.JPG|thumb|240px|Hindu pilgrims bathing in the Ganges at [[Varanasi]]]] Humans are thought to have first migrated into the [[Indian subcontinent]] around 70,000 BCE and there are some [[archaeological sites]] for stone age India. One important one is at [[Mehrgarh]] (Pakistan), with the oldest known evidence of agriculture in the subcontinent, around 7000 BCE. The '''[[Indus Valley Civilisation]]''' (3300-1300&nbsp;BCE) was one of the world's first Bronze Age civilizations and very advanced for its time. At its peak (2600-1900&nbsp;BCE) it covered most of what is now [[Pakistan]], plus some of northern India and eastern [[Afghanistan]]. The two biggest archaeological sites, both in Pakistan, are [[Mohenjo-daro]] and [[Harappa]]. Some time after 2000 BCE, the '''Aryans''', herdsmen from somewhere to the northwest, migrated into the region. At about the same time, related groups invaded [[Greece]] (Hellenic Greeks displacing Minoans), Anatolia or [[Turkey]] (the Hittites), [[Persia]] and other areas. It is believed that all these tribes spoke related languages and many modern languages, including most of those spoken in northern India, Europe and some in Central Asia, are descended from them. Linguists classify them all in the Indo-European language family. The '''Vedic Period''' is dated to roughly 1500-500 BCE. This was the period when the '''Vedas''', the oldest and holiest books of '''[[Hinduism]]''', were compiled. They were in an Indo-Aryan language, Vedic Sanskrit. Although few details and archaeological findings are available for this period, many rituals of Hinduism took shape during that period. The Vedic civilisation influences India to this day through the dharmic religions. Present-day Hinduism traces its roots to the Vedas, but is also heavily influenced by literature that came afterward, ranging from the '''Upanishads''' and '''Puranas''', to the great epics &mdash; '''Ramayana''' and '''Mahabharata'''. By tradition, these texts are claimed to only expand and distill the knowledge that is already present in the Vedas. A section of the Mahabharata called the '''Bhagavad Gita''' is among the most widely read works. The Gita is said to be a concise summary of the four Vedas of Hinduism.  Kaal (Kshar Brahm) is said to have described the knowledge of Gita in 700 verses of 18 chapters after entering in Shri Krishna's body. It is a dialogue, just before a great battle at [[Kurukshetra]], between the hero Arjuna and the God Krishna who serves as his charioteer. Today Kurukshetra is a destination for both pilgrimage and tourism. In the 1st millennium BCE, various schools of philosophical thought developed, enriching Hinduism greatly. Most of them claimed to derive from the Vedas. However, some of these schools, two of which were '''[[Buddhism]]''' and '''Jainism''', questioned the authority of the Vedas, and they are now recognised as separate religions. Many great empires arose between 500 BCE and 590 CE. Notable among them were the '''Mauryas''' and the '''Guptas''', both with their capital in the city of Pataliputra, now called [[Patna]]. The Gupta Empire (3rd century CE to 590 CE) is often called the '''Golden Age of India'''. Further west, the Gandharan civilisation (an independent kingdom, later part of the Maurya Empire) ruled much of what are now [[Pakistan]] and [[Afghanistan]]. Their city [[Taxila]] was a great centre of Buddhist and other learning. Over time there was a gradual decline of Buddhism and Jainism. The practice of Buddhism, in particular, disappeared from India's heartland, though Buddha himself was incorporated into the Hindu pantheon. Jainism continues to be practised by a significant minority who are ambivalent about whether they consider themselves Hindus or not. Hinduism itself went through major changes. Vedic deities such as Indra and Agni became less important while Puranic deities such as Vishnu, Shiva, their various Avatars and family members gained prominence. [[File:Jama Masjid, Delhi, morning view.jpg|thumb|Jama Masjid, [[Delhi]]]] [[Islam|Islamic]] incursions started in the 8th century. Gradually the raiders started staying as rulers, and soon much of North India was ruled by Muslims. The most important Muslim rulers were the [[Mughal Empire]] that at its peak covered almost the entire subcontinent (save the southern and northeastern extremities), while the major Hindu force that survived in the North were the '''Rajputs'''. The bravery of the Rajputs in resisting invasion of their land is legendary and celebrated in ballads all over the forts of [[Rajasthan]]. Prominent among the Rajputs was '''Maha Rana Pratap''', the ruler of [[Chittorgarh]], who spent years in exile fighting '''Akbar''', the third of the Mughals. Eventually, however, the Rajputs were subdued. Some Mughal armies had a high proportion of Rajput officers, although some Rajput rebellions still occurred during the reign of Jahangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb. This period of North India produced the monumental gems of Rajasthan and the Taj Mahal. Hindi and Urdu also took root in medieval North India. During the Islamic period, there were Hindus that converted to Islam, often forcibly, or to avoid the Jizya tax, as told by Muslim chroniclers. Today, around 15% of India's population follow Islam. '''[[Sikhism]]''', another major religion, was established in [[Punjab]] during the Mughal period. Relations between Sikhism and the Mughals varied over time. The '''Golden Temple''' at [[Amritsar]] was built and recognised all over the world as Sikhism's foremost pilgrimage centre. By the time of its tenth Guru however, '''Guru Gobind Singh''', relations were hostile, primarily due to the antagonism of '''Aurangzeb''', the most intolerant, brutal and bigoted of the Mughals. Conflict between the Sikhs and the Mughals was one of the causes for the eventual decline of the Mughal Empire. Another reason was the rise of the '''Maratha Empire''' in [[Maharashtra]], which was started by '''Shivaji''' and carried on by the '''Peshwas'''. The Marathas established a short-lived confederacy that was almost as large as the Mughal Empire. Marathas lost their command over India after the third battle of Panipat, which in turn paved a way for British colonialism. [[File:ShoreTemple Approach2.JPG|thumb|Shore Temple (c. 700 CE), [[Mamallapuram]]]] South India followed a different trajectory, being less affected by Islamic rule. The period from 500 to 1600 CE is called the classical period and was dominated by great South Indian kingdoms. The most prominent empires included the '''Chalukyas''', '''Rashtrakutas''' and '''Vijayanagara''' who ruled from present day Karnataka and the '''Pallavas''', '''Cheras''', '''Pandyas''' and '''Cholas''' who ruled from present day Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Among them, the Cholas, who ruled from various capital cities including [[Thanjavur]] and [[Gangaikondacholapuram]], are widely recognised to be the most powerful of the South Indian kingdoms, with their territory stretching as far north as Pataliputra and their influence spreading as far east as Sumatra, western Borneo and southern Vietnam at the height of their power. Some of the grandest Hindu and Jain monuments that exist in India were built during this time in South and East India. Northeast India was also fairly isolated from the rest of the country until the colonial period. The largest and longest kingdom to rule over the Northeast were the '''Ningthouja dynasty (33 AD - 1891 AD)''' of [[Manipur]], followed by the '''[[Ahom Kingdom|Ahoms]]''' who, from the 13th to 19th centuries, successfully defended [[Assam]] and neighbouring regions from Mughal expansion. European traders started visiting India beginning in the late 16th century. Prominent among these were the British, Dutch, French and the Portuguese. The British East India Company made [[Calcutta]] their headquarters in 1772. They also established subsidiary cities like [[Bombay]] and [[Chennai|Madras]]. Calcutta later went on to become 'the second city of the empire after [[London]]'. By the 19th century, the British had, one way or the other assumed political control of virtually all of India, though the Portuguese, the Dutch and the French too had their enclaves along the coast. The British would send Indian labourers, policemen and soldiers all over the Empire, resulting in the establishment of Indian diaspora communities, the most notable ones in [[Myanmar]], [[Malaysia]], [[Singapore]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Fiji]], [[South Africa]], [[Mauritius]], [[Kenya]], [[Guyana]], [[Trinidad and Tobago]] and the [[United Kingdom]] itself. There was an uprising by Indian rulers in 1857 which was suppressed, but which prompted the British government to take over from the Company and make India a part of the empire. This period of rule by the crown, 1858-1947, was called the [[British Raj]]. It was a period in which some Indians converted to Christianity, though forcible conversions ended in British India after 1859, and Queen Victoria's proclamation promised to respect the religious faiths of Indians. Non-violent resistance to British colonialism led by '''Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi''' led to independence on 15 August 1947. However, independence was simultaneously granted to the secular Hindu-majority state of India and the smaller Muslim-majority state of [[Pakistan]], and the orgy of Hindu-Muslim bloodletting that followed '''Partition''' led to the deaths of at least half a million and the migration of 12-14 million people. India achieved self-sufficiency in food grains by the 1970s, ensuring that the large-scale famines that had been common are now history. However these policies also led to shortages, slow growth and large-scale corruption. After a balance-of-payments crisis in 1991, the country adopted free-market reforms which have continued at a steady pace ever since, fueling strong growth. The IT, Business Process Outsourcing and other industries have been the drivers for the growth, while manufacturing and agriculture, which have not experienced reforms, are lagging. About 60% of Indians live on agriculture and around 36% remain in poverty. Relations with Pakistan have been frosty. The two countries have fought four wars, three of them over the status of [[Kashmir]]. The third war between the two countries in 1971 resulted in East Pakistan becoming Bangladesh. India continues to experience occasional terrorist attacks, many of which are widely believed to originate in Pakistan and be ordered or assisted by its military-intelligence complex. China and India went to war in 1962 over a Himalayan border dispute. Current relations are largely peaceful but tense. There are no land crossings allowed between the two countries, though one border crossing between [[Sikkim]] and [[Tibet]] was re-opened in 2006 for trade. Security concerns over Pakistan and China prompted India to test '''nuclear weapons''' twice (including the 1974 tests described as "peaceful explosions"). India wants to be accepted as a legitimate nuclear power and is campaigning for a permanent Security Council seat. India is proud of its democratic record. Constitutional government and democratic freedoms have been safeguarded for most of its time as an independent country. Current concerns in India include corruption, poverty, overpopulation, pollution and forms of environmental degradation, ongoing border disputes with Pakistan and China, cross-border terrorism, and ethnic, political and religious strife which occurs from time to time. India's current obsession, at least among the educated elite, is over whether India will be able to overtake China in economic growth and be an economic and military superpower. ===Politics=== India is a parliamentary republic and democracy modelled on the British Westminster system. The president, indirectly elected, is the head of state, but this position, while not entirely ceremonial, has limited powers. The prime minister runs the government with a cabinet of ministers, and in practice wields the most authority in government. The parliament is bicameral. The Lok Sabha (House of People), the lower house, is directly elected by universal adult franchise, while the Rajya Sabha (Council of States), or the upper house, is indirectly elected. The Lok Sabha is the more powerful of the two, primarily because a majority in the Lok Sabha is required to form a government and pass budgets, and the prime minister, by convention, is always a member of the Lok Sabha. India has a vast number of political parties. The Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) forms the government, and the centre-left Indian National Congress (known as "Congress") is the main opposition party. India has a strong and independent judiciary and a free press. India is also a federation, divided into states and union territories. Each of these has its own legislature, with a government run by a chief minister and a cabinet. Street demonstrations, protests and agitations occur, as they do in any democracy. There are also occasional low levels of political violence, in which a visitor has an extremely small chance of getting caught. ===Time zone=== Indian Standard Time (IST) is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Co-ordinated Universal Time (UTC+5.5). Daylight Savings Time is not observed in India. ===Geography=== Mountains, jungles, deserts and beaches, India has it all. It is bounded to the north and northeast by the '''snow-capped Himalayas''', the tallest mountain range in the world. In addition to protecting the country from invaders, they also feed the perennial rivers '''Ganga''', '''Yamuna''' (Jamuna) and '''Sindhu''' (Indus) on whose plains India's civilization flourished. Though most of the Sindhu is in Pakistan now, three of its tributaries flow through [[Punjab (India)|Punjab]]. The other Himalayan river, the '''Brahmaputra''' flows through the northeast, mostly through [[Assam]] where it is known by different names. The '''Manipur River''', originated from [[Manipur]], joins the Chindwin-Irrawaddy River System of Myanmar. [[File:Loktak Lake Boat people Moirang Manipur India.jpg|thumb|[[Loktak lake]], the world's only floating lake.]] The '''world's only floating lake''' is the [[Loktak lake]] in the central bowl like plain of [[Manipur]]. It is remarkably known for its unique circular floating biomasses ([[Manipuri phrasebook|Manipuri]]: Phumdi). South of Punjab lies the '''Aravalli''' range, which cuts [[Rajasthan]] into two. The western half of Rajasthan is occupied by the '''Thar''' desert. The '''Vindhyas''' cut across Central India, particularly through [[Madhya Pradesh]] and signify the start of the '''Deccan''' plateau, which covers almost the whole of the southern peninsula. The Deccan plateau is bounded by the '''Western Ghats''' range (which is called '''Sahyadri''' in Maharashtra) to the west and the '''Eastern Ghats''' to the east. The plateau is more arid than the plains, as the rivers that feed the area, such as the '''Narmada''', '''Godavari''' and the '''Kaveri''', run dry during the summer. Towards the northeast of the Deccan plateau is what used to be a thickly forested area that covers the states of [[Chhattisgarh]], [[Jharkhand]], the eastern edge of [[Maharashtra]] and the northern tip of [[Andhra Pradesh]]. This area is still forested, poverty stricken and populated by tribal people. This forest acted as a barrier to the invasion of South India. India has a long '''coastline'''. The west coast borders the '''Arabian Sea''' and the east coast the '''Bay of Bengal''', both parts of the Indian Ocean. ===Climate=== [[File:A beach side resort at Kadmat Island, Lakshadweep.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Lakshadweep Islands]] [[File:Jammu and Kashmir 3.JPG|thumbnail|250px|Gulmarg]] In India, it rains only during a specific time of the year. The season as well as the phenomenon that causes it is called the '''monsoon'''. There are two of them, the '''Southwest''' and the '''Northeast''', both named after the directions the winds come from. The Southwest monsoon is the more important one, as it causes rains over most parts of the country, and is the crucial variable that decides how the crops will do. It lasts from June to September. The Southwest monsoon hits the west coast the most, as crossing the Western Ghats and reaching the rest of India is an uphill task for the winds. The western coastline is therefore much '''greener''' than the interior. The Northeast monsoon hits the east coast between October and February, mostly in the form of occasional '''cyclones''' that cause much devastation every year. The only region that gets rains from both monsoons is North-Eastern India, which consequently experiences the '''highest rainfall in the world'''. India experiences at least three seasons a year, '''Summer''', '''Rainy Season''' (or "Monsoon") and '''Winter''', though in the '''tropical South''' calling the 25°C (77°F) weather "Winter" would be stretching the concept. The North experiences some extremes of heat in Summer and cold in Winter, but except in the Himalayan regions, snow is almost unheard of. November to January is the winter season and April and May are the hot months when everyone eagerly awaits the rains. There is also a brief spring in February and March, especially in North India. Opinions are divided on whether any part of India experiences an '''Autumn''', but the ancients had certainly identified such a season among the '''six seasons''' (or ''ritus'' - ''Vasanta'' - Spring, ''Greeshma'' - Summer, ''Varsha'' - Rainy, ''Sharat'' - Autumn, ''Hemanta'' - "Mild Winter"/"late autumn", ''Sheet'' - Winter) they had divided the year into. ===Culture=== {{infobox|Culture shock|Many visitors expecting maharajas and fabulous palaces are shocked when their first impressions are dominated by poverty instead. Prepare for the following: * '''Attention'''. Some people will unabashedly stare at foreign tourists, who can also be magnets for persistent touts and beggars. People may shove their mobile phone in your face and take pictures; just turn your head. Beggars, especially malnourished children and the badly deformed, can be particularly disturbing. * '''Filth'''. Dirt, refuse and insects abound in the cities. The roadside can sometimes be a urinal. * '''Noise'''. Drivers lean on horns, radios and TVs blare Bollywood tracks, and even temples, mosques and churches use loudspeakers to spread their message. * '''Pollution'''. Most North Indian cities—especially New Delhi—suffer badly. Exhaust combined with dust can make the drier seasons a nightmare for asthma sufferers. * '''Crowds'''. Many of India's streets, markets and bazaars are jam-packed with people, vehicles and at certain times, animals, and streets tend to be narrow. Most visitors quickly get inured to these things that are pitfalls of urbanisation and start seeing the good sides too, but take it easy on your first few days and schedule some time to get away from it all.}} India's rich and multi-layered cultures are dominated by religious and spiritual themes. While it is a mistake to assume that there is a single unified Indian culture, there certainly are unifying themes that link the various cultures. India's cultural heritage is expressed through its myriad of languages in which much great literature and poetry has been written. It can be seen in its music, both in its classical (Carnatic and Hindustani) forms and in modern Bollywood music. India also has a vast tradition of classical and folk dances. Art and theatre flourish amongst the bustling cities of the country, against the backdrop of the ever-expanding western influences. Indians greatly value their family system. Typically, an Indian family encompasses what would be called the extended family in the West. It is routine for Indians to live as part of the paternal family unit throughout their lives, i.e. sons live together with their parents all their lives, and daughters live with their parents till they get married. The relationship is mutually self-supporting. Parents may support their children for longer than is common in the West, brothers and sisters may support each other, and sons are expected to take care of their parents in their old age. "Living with parents" does not carry the same stigma as it does in parts of Europe or North America. Naturally, the arrangements are not perfect and there are strains and breakups, especially by the time the third generation grows up. Also, it has now become common for children to move away from the parental house for education and employment. Nonetheless, it is fair to say that the joint family is still seen as the norm and an ideal to aspire to, and Indians continue to care about their family's honour, achievements and failures even while they are not living together. Despite the weakening of the caste system (which has officially been outlawed by the Indian government), India remains a fairly stratified society. Indians care more about a person's background and position in society than is the norm in the individualist West. This attitude, when combined with the legacy of colonial rule, results in some rather interesting, if unfortunate consequences. People with white skin are placed high on the societal totem pole, and they may find that Indians are obsequious towards them to the point of embarrassment. People with dark skin, however, may find that they are discriminated against. If it is any consolation, Indians display similar prejudices based on skin colour and ethnicity among themselves and not just towards foreigners. (See more in the '''Stay Safe''' and '''Respect''' sections) There is also a community known as the Siddis, who are believed to be descended from East African slaves brought to India by the Arab Slave Trade, and mainly found in remote rural villages. Although they speak Indian instead of African languages these days, they still retain many African customs including African dance and music. Although they are Indian citizens, due to a lack of awareness from the general Indian population of their existence, they continue to face much discrimination, and are often presumed to be illegal immigrants from Africa. The British colonisation also gave rise to a mixed-raced population known as the Anglo-Indians, and while most of them migrated to Western countries following independence, pockets of these communities remain in India's major cities. ===Holidays and festivals=== There are three national holidays: '''Republic Day''' (26 January), '''Independence Day''' (15 August), and '''Gandhi's Birthday,''' generally called '''Gandhi Jayanti''' (2 October) which follow the Western calendar and occur on the same day every year. Hindu religious festivals, because they follow the lunisolar calendar, occur on different days every year, but around the same time of the year every time. The major religious festivals of Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism and Zoroastrianism are also celebrated. Central government offices are closed for holidays around 17 days a year for these festivals and observances. The significance of these festivals differs across different regions of India. State government offices will have a different holiday schedule based on which festivals are important in that state. Generally, the day on which the state was formed will also be a holiday in that state. Some of the major Indian festivals are: [[File:Diwali Lighting Mini Lamps 2011.jpg|thumb|250px|Diwali lighting]] *'''Diwali''' (Deepavali), Oct-Nov &mdash; The festival of lights, celebrates the return of the Hindu God Rama to the capital of his kingdom, [[Ayodhya]] after an exile of 14 years and victory of justice over injustice when Narakasura was killed by Satyabhama with the help of Krishna. Probably the most lavish festival in the country, reminiscent of Christmas in Europe or Thanksgiving in the US. Houses are decorated, there is glitter everywhere, and if you wander the streets on Diwali night, there will be firecrackers going off everywhere including sometimes under your feet. *'''Ugadhi,''' [sometimes also called 'Yugadhi' and various other names] is one of the main festivals, which is mainly celebrated as the 1st day of the Hindu Calendar New Year. Which is one of the main festivals and is quite widely followed in South India. [[File:Durga Puja DS.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Durga Puja ]] *'''Durga Puja / Navaratri / Dussehara''', Sep-Oct &mdash; A nine-day festival culminating in the holy day of Dussehra, when locals worship the deity Durga. Workers are given sweets, cash bonuses, gifts and new clothes. It is also new year for businessmen, when they are supposed to start new account books. In some places like [[West Bengal]] and [[Odisha]], Durga Puja is ''the'' most important festival. In the north ''Dussehra'' celebrations take place and the slaying of Ravana by Lord Rama is ceremonially reenacted as ''Ram Lila''. In [[Gujarat]] and [[South India]], it is celebrated as Navaratri where the festival is celebrated by dancing to devotional songs and religious observances like fasts extended over a period of nine nights. *'''Holi''', in March &mdash; The festival of colour is a major festival celebrated mainly in North, East and Western India. On the first day, people go to temples and light bonfires, but on the second, it's a waterfight combined with '''showers of coloured powder'''. This is not a spectator sport: as a visible foreigner, you're a magnet for attention, so you'll either have to barricade yourself inside, or put on your most disposable clothes and join the fray. Alcohol and ''bhang'' (cannabis) are often involved and crowds can get rowdy as the evening wears on. [[File:DagduHalwai2013.jpg|thumb|right|Dagdusheth Halwai Ganesha Idol during Ganesh Chaturthi 2013]] *'''Ganesh Chaturthi''', is celebrated all over [[India]]. Ganesh Chaturthi is the festival of Lord Ganesh. Ganesh Chaturthi is most enjoyed in [[Maharashtra]]. It is the best time to visit cities like [[Mumbai]], [[Pune]], [[Nagpur]]. * '''Christmas''' and '''New Years Day''' are public holidays across the country and Bank Holidays as well. Christmas is a major festival in the regions of Kerala and Goa. * '''Eid-ul-Fitr''', '''Eid-uz-Zuha''', '''Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi''', '''Yawm-e-Aashoora''' and '''Ramazaan''' are widely celebrated and observed as public holidays across the country. Apart from these, each state has its own major national festival like '''Onam''' in [[Kerala]], '''Makar Sankranti''' and '''Ugadi''' in Andhra Pradesh, ''Utarayan'' in Gujarat, '''Pongal''' in [[Tamil Nadu]], '''Baisakhi''' for Punjab, Bihu for Assam,''Rathayatra''(Car festival for lord Jagannath) in Odisha,''Nuakhai'' for Western Odisha. India is a diverse nation, and festivals are a significant part of life for the locals, and they provide holidays for about a week. Religious holidays occur on different days each year because the Hindu and Islamic festivals are based on their respective calendars and not on the Gregorian calendar. Most of them are celebrated only locally, so check the state or city you are visiting for information on whether there will be closures. Different regions might give somewhat different names to the same festival. To cater to varying religious practices, offices have a list of '''optional holidays''' (called '''restricted holidays''' by the government) from which employees are allowed to pick two, in addition to the list of fixed holidays. This may mean thin attendance and delayed service even when the office is officially open. ===Read=== {{infobox|Kashmir dispute|India and Pakistan have a bitter dispute over Kashmir; each government claims territory that is under the control of the other. They have fought wars over this three times since independence in 1947. China (PRC) also claims portions of Kashmir. Wikivoyage, however, deals ''only'' with the current situation on the ground; our maps show and our text describes that without taking sides on the disputes. If you can go there with a Pakistani visa today then we treat it as being in Pakistan, and if you need an Indian visa, we treat it as being in India.

See also the Wikivoyage article [[On the trail of Kipling's Kim]]. ===Touts=== Touts are ubiquitous, as in many developing countries, and you should assume that anyone 'proactively' trying to help you has a hidden agenda to part you from your money. However, in areas hardly or not at all visited by tourists, it is not at all uncommon for people who go out of their way to 'proactively' help you when you approach without expecting anything in return. During your travels in India, you will be deluged with touts trying to get you to buy something or patronise particular establishments. There are a myriad of [[common scams]], which range from telling you your hotel has gone out of business (of course, they'll know of one that's open with vacancies), to giving wrong directions to a government rail ticket booking office (the directions will be to their friend's tour office), to trying to get you to take diamonds back to your home country (the diamonds are worthless crystal), to 'poor students' giving you sightseeing for hours and then with pity make you buy school books for them (tremendously overpriced from a bookstore with whom they are affiliated). There will also be more obvious touts who "know a very good place for dinner" or want to sell you a chess set on the street. Faced with such an assault, it's very easy to get into a siege mentality where all of India is against you and out to squeeze you dry. This mentality may affect any true appreciation of the country. Dealing with touts is simple: assume anyone offering surprising information (such as "your hotel is shut down") is a tout. Never be afraid to get a second or third answer to a question. To get rid of touts: * Completely ignore them and go about your business until they go away. This may take quite a while, but patience is key to managing India. * Tell them "no", very firmly, and repeatedly. It is also beneficial to have a firm Indian friend whom you can trust. If they show you around, they will act to help you ward off such touts. ===Discriminatory pricing=== Foreign visitors will quickly encounter the '''special foreigners' rates''' that they are charged in some places in India. This applies to many tourist attractions, such as museums and historical sites. The difference in pricing is because the Indian government subsidises entry fees for local people, to make these attractions more affordable for taxpayers. While this may seem discriminatory, it is practised in most developing countries in Asia and Africa and helps make these attractions more accessible to local people. Some tourist attractions that are run by the Archaeological Survey of India have different rates for Indians and foreigners. These rates are prominently posted at the entrance and ticketing booths. The rates for foreigners may be as many as five to ten times those for Indians. Likewise, if you are reserving a hotel room or an airline ticket over the internet, you may find that paying in euros or US dollars costs significantly more. You can get an Indian friend to book in rupees and in most cases, no one will question you at the time of check in. ==Talk== At the federal level, the official languages of India are '''[[Hindi phrasebook|Hindi]]''' and '''[[English language varieties|English]].''' Other languages that are official to some degree (often at state level) are '''[[Assamese phrasebook|Assamese]]''', '''[[Bengali phrasebook|Bengali]]''', '''[[Bodo phrasebook|Bodo]]''', '''[[Dogri phrasebook|Dogri]]''', '''[[Gujarati phrasebook|Gujarati]]''', '''[[Kannada phrasebook|Kannada]]''', '''[[Kashmiri phrasebook|Kashmiri]]''', '''[[Konkani phrasebook|Konkani]]''', '''[[Maithili phrasebook|Maithili]]''', '''[[Malayalam phrasebook|Malayalam]]''', '''[[Manipuri phrasebook|Manipuri]]''' (also known as Meitei), '''[[Marathi phrasebook|Marathi]]''', '''[[Nepali phrasebook|Nepali]]''', '''[[Odia phrasebook|Odia]]''' (also known as Oriya), '''[[Punjabi phrasebook|Punjabi]]''', '''[[Sanskrit phrasebook|Sanskrit]]''', '''[[Santhali phrasebook|Santhali]]''', '''[[Sindhi phrasebook|Sindhi]]''', '''[[Tamil phrasebook|Tamil]]''', '''[[Telugu phrasebook|Telugu]]''' and '''[[Urdu phrasebook|Urdu]].''' There are also hundreds of other less prominent languages like [[Tulu phrasebook|'''Tulu''']], [[Bhojpuri phrasebook|'''Bhojpuri''']] and [[Ladakhi phrasebook|'''Ladakhi''']].[[File:Gas mixing station - Avvertenze in hindi e in oriya.JPG|thumb|"Gas mixing station" with instructions in Hindi and Odia]] '''Hindi''', spoken by the vast majority of the population, serves as the lingua franca of [[Northern India|North India]] and [[Central India]]. Many more speak it as their second, or even third language. Although it is one of the main languages of the Union Government, very little Hindi is spoken in [[Southern India|Southern]] and [[North-Eastern India|North-Eastern]] India, and English is generally more widely spoken than Hindi in these areas. There are also over 120 dialects in India. One of them is Haryanvi, which is a common dialect around in Haryana and the Delhi area. '''English''' is spoken in urban areas, and is the main language in education, media, government, and business. It serves as the "de facto lingua franca" of the country. Although this sounds reassuring, Indian English is remarkably different compared to other dialects. Perhaps the most common jibe about the dialect is its use of universally improper grammar, which may give some the impression that India isn't an English-speaking country. Prejudices aside, this is perhaps the dialect's most fascinating quality. The sounds of Indian English are flavoured by many of the country's languages, which means that non-native English speakers may have difficulty understanding the way Indians speak. Here are some features of Indian English: * The most commonly used tag question is ''"isn't it"'', which can be used to indicate a genuine question (e.g. ''He is from Tamil Nadu, isn't it?''), sarcasm, bewilderment, and so on. * Nouns are commonly pluralised (e.g. ''A room full of furnitures'', ''stuffs for eating'' as opposed to ''A room full of furniture'' or ''stuff for eating'') * Verbs conjugate differently (e.g. ''I knowed about it'' or ''I buyed it'' as opposed to ''I knew about it'' or ''I bought it'') * Colloquialisms, slang words, and idioms are rife, some of which may be perceived as impolite by non-Indians (e.g. ''Hello, what you want?'' as opposed to ''Hello, what do you want?'') * Prepositions and articles are often dropped or combined strangely (e.g. ''I want computer'' as opposed to ''I want a computer'') *The use of some vocabulary that would not be said elsewhere (e.g. ''vote bank'' which means a group of people that supports a particular political party) English-language TV shows and movies are common, and the number of English TV channels outnumber the number of Indian-language TV channels. Some shows may be dubbed in another language depending on where you are. '''Sanskrit''' is the language in which much of ancient Indian literature and religious texts are written. Today Sanskrit survives primarily as a liturgical language; few if any people speak Sanskrit as a native language, but quite a few scholars or lay-persons know it or are learning it. Many modern Indian languages are descended from Sanskrit, and even those unrelated to Sanskrit have been strongly influenced by it. While most north Indian languages, including Hindi, are descended from Sanskrit, the main languages of the south &mdash; [[Telugu phrasebook|Telugu]], [[Tamil phrasebook|Tamil]], [[Kannada phrasebook|Kannada]] and [[Malayalam phrasebook|Malayalam]] &mdash; originate from a different language and are called the Dravidian languages. Ironically, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam are far more Sanskritic than Hindi due to the relative absence of Islamic rule in those regions. In North Eastern India, [[Manipuri phrasebook|Manipuri]] or Meitei is a language of the Sino-Tibetan family, and resembles closer to Chinese, Burmese and Tibetan, making it unique from other Indian languages. However, you are better off picking up as many words as you can of the local language of the place you are going to - people are proud of their state's (or region's) culture and language and will appreciate it if an outsider makes an attempt to communicate in it. Code-switching between English and the local language (often given a portmanteau of the native language and English; for instance, mixing Malayalam and English is called as ''Manglish''<!--isn't Manglish used to refer to Malay and English?-->, and the same for Hindi is called as ''Hinglish'') is common among the youth in urban areas, although most educated people would speak standard English (British) when talking to foreigners. Many Indian languages lack a word for please, just like the Scandinavian languages. Instead, verbs have many forms denoting levels of politeness and formality. As there is no such distinction in English, Indians may also seem commanding to a westerner. You may hear phrases like ''come here'' which may sound commanding to Anglophones from Western cultures, but this is not intended to be rude. '''Non-verbal communication''' is also important. Much has been made of the confusing Indian head nod for yes and no, but the only important thing to understand is that Indians have '''different nods for yes, ok and no.''' * If they are nodding their head '''up and down''', they mean '''yes''' or '''I agree''', as in a standard nod. * If they are shaking their head in a '''tilting motion''' from right to left and back, they mean '''I understand''' or '''I get what you said'''. * If they shake their head sideways (left to right to left), they mean '''no'''. * There are differences in the way these signs are used in northern and southern India. The back to forth is yes and a vigorous left-right shift is no in northern India, though the latter may be construed for yes in southern states like Tamil Nadu. Look for verbal cues that accompany these sounds (like 'aaan' for yes ) in southern India to get the correct meaning. ==Get in== {{VisaRestriction| Certain states in India require permits to visit. Citizens of [[Bangladesh]], [[Pakistan]], [[China]], and [[Myanmar]] are not usually eligible for them unless they have permission from the Home Ministry. * A Restricted Area Permit (RAP) is required to enter parts of [[Sikkim]] and [[Andaman and Nicobar]]. * A Protected Area Permit (PAP) is required to enter [[Arunachal Pradesh]], and parts of [[Himachal Pradesh]], [[Ladakh]], [[Rajasthan]], [[Sikkim]], and [[Uttarakhand]]. * An Inner Line Permit (ILP) is required to enter [[Mizoram]], [[Manipur]], [[Arunachal Pradesh]], or [[Nagaland]] if you are a citizen of India. }} ===Entry requirements=== ====Visas==== [[File:Visa policy of India.svg|thumb|500px| {{legend|#FF3030|India}} {{legend|#FF9090|Freedom of movement}} {{legend|#00A000|Visa-free}} {{legend|#40D000|Visa on arrival}} {{legend|#80E0B0|e-Visa}} {{legend|#C0C0C0|Visa required}} {{legend|#888888|Government clearance required}} ]] Rules and validity of visas will differ based on citizenship.

Electronic visas can be applied for between 4 and 120 days in advance of arrival and are valid for a ''double entry'' and a stay of up to 60 days. Travellers cannot receive more than two eTVs in a calendar year. Entry with an eTV must be at 1 of 25 designated airports (Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Bagdogra, Bangalore, Calicut, Chennai, Chandigarh, Cochin, Coimbatore, Delhi, Gaya, Goa, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow, Mangalore, Mumbai, Nagpur, Pune, Tiruchirapalli, Trivandrum, Varanasi, Vishakhapatnam - check the web link for a current list). The eTV is available to citizens of over 100 countries (again, check the web link for the latest list; some EU countries, along with most of Africa and the Middle East, are excluded). Persons of Pakistani origin, regardless of nationality, are not eligible. The fee for the eTV is dependent on nationality. Since 2019 e-Visas are issued for 30 days, 1 year or 5 years. The 1-and-5 year visas allow stays for up to 60 days at a time (except for nationals of the US, UK, Canada and Japan, who are allowed to stay for 90 days). Also, prices are expected to go down, and there will be no limit on the number of e-visas you can request in a calendar year. The exact implementation date is still not known. The eTV facility replaced the limited visa-on-arrival scheme in January 2015; there are no longer any visa-on-arrival facilities in India. Regular visa applications for U.S. passport holders (for travellers not eligible for eTV) begin at '''[https://services.vfsglobal.com/usa/en/ind/ VFS Global]''' before being submitted to a visa application centre either by FedEx or in person. Many Indian embassies have '''outsourced visa processing''' in full or in part to third party companies, so check ahead before going to the embassy. For example, in the United States as of 9 Oct 2020, your visa application must be submitted to [https://services.vfsglobal.com/usa/en/ind/ VFS Global] rather than the embassy. Applications through these agencies also attract an application fee (in the US to VFS Global, this fee is USD15.90) above that which is detailed on most embassy websites and should be checked prior to submitting your paperwork. In addition, many Indian embassies only offer visas to '''residents of that country''': this means you should get your visa before you leave home instead of trying to get it in a neighbouring country (although, as at August 2009, non-residents are able to apply for visas through the Bangkok embassy for an additional 400 THB "referral fee"). It's wise to ask for a '''multiple-entry''' visa even if you aren't planning to use it - they cost the same, are handed out pretty liberally and come in handy if you decide last minute to dip into one of the neighbouring countries. A '''business visa''' may be required if you intend to do anything work related in India. The eTV does permit 'casual business visits' and will be easier to obtain. If you do need a business visa, then be prepared to provide a great deal of documentation about your company in your home country as well as the company you are visiting in India. This will include (but may not be limited to) an invitation letter from the company that you are visiting as well as business registration documents and possibly tax returns and other sensitive documents. It may be worth applying for a short-term visa (such as 6 months) since the criteria may be less in your case. There are other categories for [https://passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/online/visaServices specialised purposes]. The '''missionary visa''' is mandatory for anyone who is visiting India "primarily to take part in religious activities". This rule is meant to combat religious conversion, particularly of Hindus to Christianity. There have been cases where preachers have been deported for addressing religious congregations while on a tourist visa. You don't need to be worried if you are just on a religious tour of churches in India. If you are on a Student, Employment, Research or Missionary visa, you '''need to register''' within 14 days of arrival with the [https://mea.gov.in/foreigners-registration.htm '''Foreigners Regional Registration Office'''] where you will be staying. If the place you are staying at doesn't have one, you need to register at the local police station. All visitors who intend to stay '''more than 180 days''' also need to be registered. '''Overstaying''' a visa is to be avoided at all costs as you will be prevented from leaving the country until you have paid some fairly hefty fines and presented a large amount of paperwork to either the local immigration office or police station. This whole process is unlikely to take less than 3 days, and can take much longer if you include weekends, numerous government holidays and the inevitable bizarre bureaucratic requirements. In the worst-case scenarios, the Indian Government can also take legal action for exceptionally long overstays including prison term for 5 years.

In general, avoid the touts who will offer to ease your baggage through customs. There are various rules regarding duty-free allowances &mdash; there are differing rules for Indian citizens, foreign "tourists", citizens of Nepal, Bhutan and Pakistan, non-citizens of Indian origin and people moving to India. Use the website of the [https://www.cbic.gov.in/ Central Board of Excise and Customs] for information about what you can bring in. Foreign tourists other than Nepalis, Bhutanese and Pakistanis and those entering through Nepal, Bhutan or Pakistan, are entitled to bring in their "used personal effects and travel souvenirs" and ₹4,000 worth of articles for "gifts". If you are an Indian citizen or are of Indian origin, you are entitled to ₹25,000 worth of articles (provided you aren't entering through Nepal, Bhutan or Pakistan). The other rules are on the web site. If you are bringing any new packaged items, it is a good idea to carry the invoices for them to show their value. You are also allowed to bring in 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 250 grams of tobacco and 1 litre (2 litres for Indians) of alcohol duty-free. If you do not have anything to declare, you can go through the '''green channel''' clearly marked at various airports and generally you will not be harassed. Importing and exporting Indian rupees is '''strictly forbidden''' for foreigners, and limited to ₹25,000 for Indian citizens. Details can be found in the [https://rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs/notification/PDFs/CR3105F871DDFD343407BA1BC640B96AFB21A.PDF official statement of the Reserve Bank of India].

The airports at these cities are either new or undergoing development. The Hyderabad airport is rated as one of the top five airports in the 10-15 million passenger category. There are many nonstop, direct and connecting choices to these cities from Europe, North America, Middle East, Africa and Australia. Secondary points of entry include [[Goa]] and the [[Malabar]] coast. There are many connections from the Middle East to Malabar coast cities such as [[Kochi]], [[Kozhikode]] and [[Thiruvananthapuram]]. Most of the major Middle Eastern carriers offer one-stop connections to the coast from their Gulf hubs. Goa is a favourite European tourist destination and thus is connected by many European charter operators like Condor, Edelweiss and Thomson Airways.

[[Kochi]], Mumbai, Goa and Chennai are the main ones handling passenger traffic, while the rest mainly handle cargo. However, due to the profusion of cheap flights, there no longer appear to be any scheduled ferry services from India to the Middle East. The southern island of [[Minicoy]] in [[Lakshadweep]] islands is now a permitted entry point. Some cruise lines that travel to India include Indian Oceans Eden II and Grand Voyage Seychelles-Dubai. ===By train=== There are two links from [[Pakistan]]. The ''Samjhauta Express'' runs from [[Lahore]] to [[Attari]] near [[Amritsar]] in [[Punjab (India)|Punjab]]. The ''Thar Express'', restarted in February 2006 after 40 years out of service, runs from Munabao in the Indian state of [[Rajasthan]] to Khokrapar in Pakistan's [[Sindh]] province; however, this crossing is '''not open to foreign tourists'''. Neither train is the fastest, safest or the most practical way to go between India and Pakistan due to the long delay to clear customs and immigration (although the trains are sights in their own right and make for a fascinating trip). Ths Samjhauta express was the victim of a terrorist strike in February 2007, when bombs were set off killing many people. Should you want to get from one country to the other as quickly as possible, walk across at [[Attari]]/[[Wagah]]. From [[Nepal]], trains run between [[Khajuri]] in [[Dhanusa]] district of [[Nepal]] and Jainagar in [[Bihar]], operated by Nepal Railways. Neither is of much interest for travellers and there are no onward connections into Nepal, so most travellers opt for the bus or plane instead. Train services from [[Bangladesh]] were suspended for 42 years, but the ''Moitree Express'' started running again between [[Dhaka]] to Kolkata in April 2008. The service is biweekly: A Bangledeshi train leaves Dhaka every Saturday, returning on Sunday, while an Indian train leaves Kolkata on Saturdays and returns the next day. You can see what trains are available between stations at the following sites: http://www.indianrail.gov.in. However, for booking of rail tickets through the internet you should use the Government of India's website http://www.irctc.co.in. For booking through this site, you have to register (which is free) and you need a credit/debit card. You can also take the services of many travel agents that charge a nominal service fee for booking train tickets. ===By land=== [[File:Wagah Border2014.jpg|thumb|Flag lowering ceremony at the Wagah border crossing]] ====Nepal==== From [[Nepal]] buses cross the border daily, usually with connections to [[New Delhi]], [[Lucknow]], [[Patna]] and [[Varanasi]]. However, it's cheaper and more reliable to take one bus to the border crossing and another from there on. The border crossings are (India/Nepal side) Sunauli/Bhairawa from Varanasi, Raxaul/Birganj from [[Patna]], Kolkata, Kakarbhitta from Darjeeling, and Mahendrenagar-Banbassa from Delhi. ====Bhutan==== The Royal Bhutanese Government runs a service to/from [[Phuentsholing]]. These buses depart from Kolkata's Esplanade bus station at 7PM on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and from the Phuentsholing Bhutan Post office at 3PM on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The journey takes around 18 hours and costs ₹300. The buses are comfortable, but because much of the highway to Kolkata is like the surface of the moon, don't bank on getting much sleep on the way. There is frequent service between [[Siliguri]] and Phuentsholing. ====Myanmar==== Entering from [[Myanmar]] is apparently possible at [[Moreh]]/[[Tamu]]&mdash;see [[Myanmar#India|Myanmar article]] for more details. Regarding Indo-Myanmar connection, [[Manipur]] is the most advanced and the only developed route inside India, to pass to and from between the two nations. ====Pakistan==== From [[Pakistan]] the only land crossing is from [[Lahore]] to [[Amritsar]] via the [[Attari]]/[[Wagah]] border crossing. Despite tensions between the two countries, there is a steady trickle of travellers passing this way. The immigration procedures are fairly straightforward, but neither [[Pakistan]] nor India issue visas at the border. Expect to take most of the day to go between Lahore and Amritsar on local buses. Normally it's possible to get a direct bus from Amritsar to the border, walk to the other side and catch a direct bus to Lahore, although you may need to change at some point on route. Amritsar and Lahore are both fairly close to the border (about 30–40 minutes drive), so taxis are a faster and easier option. The direct Delhi-Lahore service has restarted, though it is far more costly than local buses/trains, not any faster, and would mean you miss seeing [[Amritsar]]. You will also be stuck at the border for '''much''' longer while the bus is searched and all of the passengers go through immigration. There is now a bus service across the 'Line of control' between Indian and Pakistani Kashmir; however, it is '''not open to foreign tourists'''. For going '''by car''' also see [[Istanbul to New Delhi over land]]. You will need a [[Carnet de Passage]] if crossing with your own vehicle. The process is not particularly lengthy - crossing with your own vehicle from/to Pakistan should take a maximum of 3 hours to clear both borders for you and your vehicle. ====From Bangladesh==== From [[Bangladesh]] there are a number of land entry points to India. The most common way is the regular air-conditioned and comfortable bus services from Dhaka to Kolkata via [[Haridaspur]] (India)/[[Benapole]] (Bangladesh) border post. Bus companies 'Shyamoli', 'Shohag', 'Green Line' and others operate daily bus services under the label of the state owned West Bengal Surface Transport Service Corporation (WBSTSC) and the Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC). From Kolkata 2 buses leave every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday while from Dhaka they leave on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The journey usually takes around 12 hours with a one-way fare of ₹400-450 or BDT600-800, roughly US$8–10. Another daily bus service by 'Shyamoli' and others under the BRTC label from [[Dhaka]] connects Siliguri, but the buses in this route do not cross the Changrabanda/Burimari or Burungamari border post. Rather, passengers reaching the border have to clear customs, walk a few hundred yards to cross the border and board the awaiting connecting buses on the other end for the final destination. Ticket for Dhaka-Siliguri-Dhaka route costs BDT 1,600, roughly US$20–25 depending on conversion rates. Tickets are purchased either in Dhaka or in Siliguri. There is also a regular bus service between Dhaka and Agartala, capital of Tripura. Two BRTC buses daily from Dhaka and the [https://tsu.trp.nic.in/transport/ Tripura Road Transport Corporation] plying its vehicles six days a week with a round fare costing US$10 connect the two cities. There is only one halt at Ashuganj in Bangladesh during the journey. Other entry points from Bangladesh are Hili, Chilahati/Haldibari, Banglaband border posts for entry to West Bengal; Tamabil border post for a route to [[Shillong]] in Meghalaya, and some others with lesser known routes to north-eastern Indian regions. ====China==== The Nathu La pass in [[Sikkim]], which borders [[Tibet]] in [[China]] is the only border crossing between India and China. This border is not open to tourists; only local traders are allowed to cross. Special permits are required to visit the pass from either side, and foreigners are not permitted to visit the Indian side of the border. ==Get around== India is '''big''' and there are lots of interesting ways to travel around it, most of which could not very well be described as efficient or punctual. Allow considerable buffer time for any journey with a fixed deadline (e.g. your flight back), and try to remember that getting there should be half the fun. Travel in much of the [[North-East India|North-East]] (with the notable exception of Assam) and parts of [[Andaman and Nicobar]], [[Jammu and Kashmir]], [[Lakshadweep]], [[Rajasthan]], [[Himachal Pradesh]] and [[Uttarakhand]] will require obtaining a '''Protected Area Permit''' (PAP). The easiest way to get one is to request it along with your visa application, in which case it will be added to your visa. Otherwise, you will need to hunt down a local Ministry of Home Affairs office and battle with bureaucracy. ===By plane=== [[File:Airports and seaports map.png|thumb|400px|Map of airports in India]] India's large size and uncertain roads make '''flying''' a viable option, especially as prices have tumbled in the last few years. Even India's offshore islands and remote mountain states are served by flights. Due to the aviation boom over the last few years, airports have not been able to keep up with the air traffic. Most Indian airports continue to function with one runway and a handful of boarding gates. Check-in and security queues can be quite long, especially in Delhi and Mumbai. India has built two new international airports in Hyderabad and Bangalore, which are modern and well-equipped. Delhi airport's newly constructed Terminal 3 is the 8th largest terminal in the world. In northern India, particularly Delhi, '''heavy winter fog''' can wreak havoc on schedules, especially during Christmas Season and January, leading to massive delays across the country. Flights to small airports up in the mountains, especially to [[Leh]] in Ladakh (which is reachable only by plane for most of the year), are erratic at the best of times. ====Airlines==== At one time, domestic flights were the monopoly of the government-owned Indian Airlines, but things have changed dramatically and now there are quite a few competitors, often offering excellent value . The main operators are: *'''[http://www.airindia.com/ Air India]''' - flag carrier owned by Tata Group. Air India has a wide network in the country and provides excellent regional connectivity.

You will hear a lot about air tickets at '''₹500''', but those are promotional rates for limited seats which are sold out within seconds. In some other cases, the advertised fare may not include charges such as passenger service fees, air fuel surcharge and taxes which will be added subsequently. Nonetheless, you do get good rates from budget airlines. Tickets for small cities will cost more than those for the metros, because of the spotty coverage noted above. Indian ticket pricing has not attained the bewildering complexity that the Americans have achieved, but they are getting there. You don't have to worry about higher prices on weekends, lower prices for round-trips, lower prices for travel ''around'' weekends. There are two complications for non-Indians trying to buy plane tickets: # Many airlines have '''higher fares for foreigners''' than for Indians. Foreigners ("non-residents") will be charged in US dollars, whereas Indians will be charged in rupees. In practice, you can simply pretend to be Indian when booking online as the check-in desk will rarely if ever care, but you are still running a small risk if you do this. When possible it's best to patronise those airlines that do not follow this practice. # Many online booking sites and some of the low-cost carriers '''reject non-Indian credit cards'''. Read the small print before you start booking, or book directly with the airline or through a bricks-and-mortar travel agency instead. ====Check in==== [[File:TRZ Check In Counters.jpg|thumb|Check-in at Trichy Airport]] Checking in at Indian airports tends to be slow, involving lots of queues and multiple security checks. A few pointers to smooth your way: * Arrive '''at least two hours before departure''' if travelling from the major airports. (For domestic flights from minor airports, 60 or 90 minutes before is fine.) The new rule dictates that check-in closes 45 minutes before departure time and the boarding gate closes 25 minutes before departure. Though the original boarding might take longer, this rule is now being strictly implemented widely to avoid delays in flight departures. * '''Bring a print-out of your ticket or a soft copy of your ticket''' and a '''government-issued id''', or else you are not allowed to enter the airport. They are checked and matched compulsorily at the airport entry gate by security guards. If you possess neither a printout or a soft copy, you can get a copy at the airline offices just outside the airport entry gate. Some airlines have started to charge for this privilege. * Most older airports require that you '''screen your checked bags before check-in''', usually at a stand near the entrance. In high-security airports like Jammu, Srinagar or anywhere in the Northeast, even carry-on baggage needs to be screened. All carry on baggage will be screened by an X-ray scanner and at the discretion of the security personnel, physically too. * Pick up a tag for every item of carry-on baggage and attach it to it. The staff at the security checkpoint will stamp your boarding pass as well as the tags of your carry-on baggage. Do not put your boarding pass on the X-ray belt, bring it with you when you go through the metal detector. '''Make sure you received all these stamps before leaving the security check area'''. Without a stamped boarding pass you will not be allowed to board the plane. You will not be allowed to take any items onboard without a stamped tag attached. Don't hesitate to ask someone if you are unsure. Most staff in airports are very helpful to passengers and will take pains to ensure you catch your flight. There are separate queues for passengers travelling light (without check-in baggage) and these queues are usually less crowded. Different airlines have different standards for what they allow as cabin baggage, so err on the side of caution, especially if you are travelling by a low-cost airline. Usually, the allowed free baggage limit is 15&nbsp;kg on most airlines. ===By train=== [[File:New Delhi Metro.jpg|thumb|240px|The Delhi Metro]] {{seealso|Rail travel in India}} Railways were introduced in India in 1853, more than one and half a century ago by the British, and today India boasts one of the biggest network of railway lines in the world, and the rail system is very efficient, if rarely on schedule. Travelling on Indian Railways gives you the opportunity to discover first hand the landscape and beauty of India, and is generally more economical than flying domestic. It is one of the safest ways of travel in India. With classes ranging from luxurious to regular, it's the best way to get to know the country and its people. Most train passengers will be curious about you and happy to pass the time with a chat. While taking an overnight sleeper train will save the money you'd otherwise spend on a hotel, your sleep may not be as comfortable. [[File:Shatabdi montage.jpg|thumb|Shatabdi trains]] ====Regular trains==== Trains come in many varieties. Most express and passenger trains operate with ICF coaches. ICF coaches are now slowly being replaced with LHB coaches. The 'Rajdhani' and 'Shatabdi' trains are the most luxurious and fastest trains on Indian Railways. They are completely air-conditioned and have breakfast, lunch, evening tea and dinner included in your ticket price. The food is served at your seat during travel. Almost all of these trains also have modern German designed LHB coaches which are extremely comfortable and luxurious. 'Vande Bharat Express', a semi-high speed train was introduced in 2019 and is aimed to replace all 'Shatabdi' trains. It is equipped with onboard Wi-Fi, infotainment, reading lights and electric outlets. The ''Garib Rath'' literally means the chariot of the poor, and it is a good option for those who want to use good facilities at low cost. ====Luxury trains==== There are 5 trains offering 12 signature journeys between major tourist destinations in India. They offer a wonderful way to experience the sights in India without having to worry about the hassles of travel and accommodation. Journeys on board these trains are all inclusive of accommodation, dining, sightseeing, transportation and porter charges. Each of these luxury trains is equipped with amenities such as live television, individual climate control, restaurant, bar, lounges and cabins with electronic safe and attached bathrooms. ====Classes==== India has seven classes of train travel to choose from. Not all classes are available on all trains: for example, Chair Cars are usually found only on short-distance daytime trains, while sleeper classes are only found on overnight journeys. Full information about this classes is [[Rail_travel_in_India#Classes|here]]. ====Different types of trains==== Basically there are five types of trains: * '''Passenger Trains''' are slow trains that stop in all stations including very small stations. * '''Fast Passenger Trains''' are passenger trains that skip smaller stations and offer the same fare structure. * '''Express Trains''' stop only at major railway stations and charge higher than Passenger trains. * '''Superfast Trains''' skip some of the major stations and charge even higher than Express Trains. * '''Rajadhani and Shadabdhi Trains''' are elite trains that offer only air conditioned coaches. They stop only at selected stations. The fare is quite high because all food is included. ====Train fare==== The average fare for a '''200 km distance''' for different classes is given below: * First Class AC: ₹1,200 * Two Tier AC: ₹617 * Three Tier AC: ₹430 * AC Chair Car: ₹203 * Sleeper Class: ₹120 * Second class seat in Express train: ₹70 * Second class seat in Passenger train: ₹30 ====Ticketing==== Trains tend to fill up early. Tickets can be reserved up to 4 months in advance. School summer vacation time &mdash; mid-April to mid-June &mdash; is peak season for the railways, which means that you may need to book well in advance. Other festival days, long weekends or holidays may see a similar rush. Booking tickets from the [http://www.irctc.co.in/ railway website] has vastly improved over the years. A lot of work has gone into the usability and responsiveness of the website. Tickets are also available from counters at most railway stations. Details of facility available for tourists from abroad are available at [https://contents.irctc.co.in/en/ForeignTouristQuotaBooking.pdf '''IRCTC website'''] and [http://www.indianrail.gov.in/enquiry/StaticPages/StaticEnquiry.jsp?locale=en&StaticPage=international_Tourist.html '''Indian Railway Website'''] [[File:India - Indian Railways Kitchen coach - 0989.jpg|thumb|Sandwiches at the kitchen coach]] One day before the departure date of a train the '''Tatkal''' quota seats become available. Tatkal accounts for about 10% of the total number of seats. This allows tourists who like to plan a trip as they go to book seats closer to the day of departure, for an extra fee. However, booking for this service online or in person is an even more fraught experience. It is sometimes difficult to book Tatkal tickets online because of the excess amount of traffic on Indian railway website. Indian railway has launched E-wallet facility which enables users to keep money on Indian railway website for faster booking of tickets. This facility reduces the time of ticket booking because users skip the payment gateway processing time. It is very fast to book tickets using E-wallet facility. You may also need [http://ifscpedia.com/ IFSC Code] to transfer funds to the E-wallet, but now you can also pay using your debit cards, credits cards, internet banking, etc. IFSC Code generally stands for Indian Financial System code which uniquely identifies bank branches in India, IFSC code is required to transfer money online in India. You can easily find IFSC Code using [https://www.rbi.org.in/Scripts/IFSCMICRDetails.aspx IFSC Code finder] ==== Meals ==== Most long-distance night trains (though not all) have a '''pantry car''' and if you are in the sleeper or air-con classes, you can buy meals onboard the train. The pantry staff will visit your seat before meal timings to take down your order. However, most pantry car meals aren't really good in quality or taste. The railways are concerned about the bad quality of pantry car meals and efforts are underway to improve things, but do not count on it as yet. If you are finicky, bring enough food for the journey including delays: bananas, bread, and candy bars are good basics. You can purchase drinks, packaged snacks or biscuits from the pantry staff who circulate from one coach to another. At most stations, hawkers selling tea, peanuts, and snack food and even complete meals will go up and down the train. Most stations will have vendors selling all kinds of edible stuff. You can also get down on the station platform to look for food, but make sure you know the stoppage timing of the train at that station. In the most luxurious 'Rajdhani' & 'Shatabdi' trains, meals are included in your ticket price and served at your seat during travel. There are no dining cars in Indian Railways except in select luxury trains. ===By taxi or ride-hailing=== {{infobox|Farewell to the King|Once upon a time, virtually all Indian taxis were trusty Hindustan Ambassadors, a locally manufactured copy of the 1950s-vintage Morris Oxford, but these days the King of Indian Roads is an endangered species. [[File:ہندوستان موٹر کی بنائی پیلی ایمبیسڈر۔.jpg|thumb|[[Kolkata]]'s iconic yellow Ambassador taxi]]}} There was a time when the metered taxi was unheard of outside India's largest cities, and when it could be found, getting one that would take you to your destination and charge you the right rate was a rare event. This situation has undergone a drastic change for the better in the past few years, with many online companies offering taxi services. The two largest players are [http://www.olacabs.com Ola] and [https://www.uber.com/in/en/ Uber], which operate in all major Indian cities and have ranks at major airports. Both pickup and dropoff points can be entered in English, minimising hassle. Fares are affordable by Western standards, with most city rides under ₹200, although surge pricing can be expensive. However, the very cheapest categories (UberX and Ola Micro/Mini respectively) often have tiny, run-down cars, so paying the small premium for the next class up (Uber Comfort and Ola Prime) may be worth it. If ride-hailing isn't an option, central locations of big cities like airports or stations have pre-paid taxi services managed by local traffic police officials. However, beware of touts who would claim themselves to be running pre-paid taxis. Always collect the receipt from the counter first. The receipt has two parts: one part is for your reference and the other part you will need to be handed to the taxi driver only after you reach your desired destination. The taxi driver will receive their payment by submitting or producing this other part to the pre-paid taxi counter. The taxi driver may not know how to get to your destination, and will not tell you this beforehand. This may result in the taxi stopping at various points during the journey as the driver gets out to ask for directions. Insist on being taken to your original destination, and not a substitute offered by the driver (e.g. a different hotel). Regular metered taxis are also common and can usually be hailed on the street. While they're supposed to use the meter, tales of "broken" meters and hapless fleeced tourists are common, so try to have an idea of the fare before you set off. ===By bus=== [[File:Pathankot Bus.JPG|thumb|240px|Ordinary-class Himachal Road Transport Co bus in [[Dharamsala]]]] While you can't take a cross-country bus journey across India, buses are the second most-popular way of travelling across states and the only cheap way of reaching many places not on the rail network (e.g. Dharamsala). Every state has its own public bus service, usually named "''X'' Road Transport Corporation" (or ''X''RTC) or "''X'' State Transport Corporation" (or ''X''STC) which primarily connects intrastate routes, but will also have services to neighbouring states. There are usually multiple classes of buses. The '''ordinary''' buses (called differently in different states, e.g. "service bus") are extremely crowded with even standing room rarely available (unless you're among the first onboard) as reservations are not possible and they tend to stop at too many places. On the upside, they're ''very'' cheap, with even a 5-6 hour journey rarely costing over ₹100. In addition to ordinary public buses, there are '''luxury''' or '''express''' buses available, and most have air-conditioning these days. Some state transport corporations have even introduced Volvo buses on some routes and these are extremely luxurious and comfortable. These better class "express" or "luxury" buses have assured seating (book in advance), and have limited stops, making them well worth the slight extra expense. But even these better-class buses rarely have toilets and make occasional snack and toilet breaks. '''Private buses''' may or may not be available in the area you are travelling to, and even if they are, the quality could vary a lot. Be warned that many of the private buses, especially long-distance lines, play music and/or videos at ear-splitting volume. Even with earplugs it can be nerve-wracking. Restrooms are available in large bus stations but are crowded. The bus industry is '''extremely fragmented''' and there are few operators who offer services in more than 2 or 3 neighbouring states. Travel agents usually ''only'' offer seats on private buses. However, long distance bus operators such as Raj National Express and KPN Travels are rolling out their operations across the country modelled on the lines of the Greyhound service in the United States. Their services are good and they provide entertainment on board. Regardless of the class of travel, all buses have to contend with the poor state of Indian highways and the havoc of Indian traffic which usually makes them slower, less comfortable and less safe than trains. Night buses are particularly hazardous, and for long-distance travel it's wise to opt for sleeper train services instead. ===By car=== Our itinerary article [[Grand Trunk Road]] describes one of India's major roads, running east-west through the Ganges valley and west across northern Pakistan to [[Kabul]]. ====Driving on your own==== In India driving is on the '''left''' of the road &mdash; at least most of the time. You can drive in India if you have a local licence or an International Driving Permit, but unless you are accustomed to driving on extremely chaotic streets, you probably will not want to. The average city or village road is narrow, often potholed and badly marked. '''National Highways''' are better, but they are still narrow, and Indian driving discipline is non-existent. In the past few years the Central government has embarked on an ambitious project to upgrade the highways. The '''Golden Quadrilateral''' connecting the four largest cities of Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata with four-laned highways has been completed and is of a reasonable standard. Some of it is of an international standard but that cannot be said for all of it. However, improving the quality of the roads does not improve the way in which people drive and it is very dangerous to drive on the roads in India as people drive as they like without regard to any rules (rules do exist but are almost never enforced). ====Hiring driver with car==== [[File:Road in India (5472802655).jpg|thumb|View from a car in India]] Instead, you can opt for a driver while renting a car. Rates are quoted in rupees per kilometre and you will have to pay for both ways even if you are going only one way. The driver's salary is so low (typically around ₹100-150 per day) that it adds little to the cost of renting the car. The driver will find their own accommodation and food wherever you are travelling, although it is customary to give him some money to buy some food when you stop somewhere to eat. Rates vary by size and quality of the car. Many vehicles come equipped with a roof carrier, so one may opt for a smaller vehicle for 2-3 passengers even with excess luggage. (You may need to specifically ask for a vehicle with a roof carrier.) There are numerous advantages to having a car and driver. *A good local driver is the safest means of car travel. *You can keep your bags and shopping goods with you securely wherever you go. *The driver will often have some knowledge of local tourist destinations. *The car is at your disposal. You needn't spend any time finding further transport, or [[haggling]] over price. It is rare to find a driver that speaks more than a few words of English. As a result, misunderstandings are common. Keep sentences short. Use the present tense. Use single words and hand gestures to convey meaning. Make sure you can trust your driver before you leave your goods with him. If he shows any suspicious behaviour make sure you keep your bags with you. Your driver may in some cases act as a tout, offering to take you to businesses from which he gets ''baksheesh'' (a sort of commission). This isn't necessarily a bad thing - the driver may help you find just what you're looking for, and add to his income at the same time. On the other hand, always evaluate for yourself whether you are being sold on a higher-cost or poorer quality product than you want. Avoid touts on the road posing as guides that your driver may stop for because he gets a commission from them; supporting them only promotes this unpleasant practice. The driver might ''ask'' for a tip at the end of the trip. Pay him some amount (₹100/day is generally sufficient) and don't let him guilt-trip you into paying too much. Memorise your driver's face and write down his licence plate number and phone number. Touts at tourist areas will try to mislead you into getting into the wrong car when you leave; if you fall for this you will certainly be ripped off, your car may be stolen and you may be sexually assaulted. Be wary of reckless driving when renting a car with a driver. Do not be afraid to tell the driver that you have time to see around and that you are not in a hurry. Make sure also that your driver gets enough rest time and time to eat. In general as you visit restaurants, the driver may eat at the same time (either separately at the same restaurant or at some other nearby place). They may be willing to work nonstop for you as you are the "boss", but your life depends on their ability to concentrate, so ensure that your driving demands are reasonable; for example, if you decide to carry your own food with you on the road, be sure to offer your driver time to get a lunch himself. Avoid travelling at night. Indian roads are dimly lit if at all, and there are even more hazards on the road after dark &mdash; even highway bandits if you get far enough off the beaten track. ====== Self-drive car rental ====== If you feel confident enough to drive by yourself, you can now hire a self-drive car in many major cities. These cars are available for long-distance as well as intra-city travel. The choices you get may be different from what are available in your home country, and these service providers may not accept international licences. Do your research well before opting for this choice. Some of the options are: * {{Go||name=Zoomcar|url=https://www.zoomcar.com/|wikipedia=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoomcar|content=Available in many cities. Good choice of cars.}} * {{Go|name=Myles|url=https://www.mylescars.com/|wikipedia=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MylesCar}} * {{Go|name=Revv|url=https://www.revv.co.in/}} * [https://onroadz.com/ '''Onroadz'''] ===By motorcycle=== [[File:Royal Enfield 7.jpg|thumb|Royal Enfield motorcycle]] Some people argue that '''the best way to experience India is on a motorbike'''. Riding a motorbike and travelling across India you get a closer look and feel of India along with all the smells and sounds. There are companies which organise package tours or tailor-made tours for enthusiastic bikers and the adventurous, or a safer motorbike experience of India. Blazing Trails tours, Wild Experience tours and Extreme Bike tours are some such companies. Another choice, popular with people who like taking risks, is to '''buy a motorcycle'''. Not for the faint of heart or inexperienced rider. India boasts the highest motor vehicle accident rate in the world. The Royal Enfield is a popular (some would say, the only) choice for its classic looks and macho mystique. This despite its high petrol consumption, 25&nbsp;km/litre to 30&nbsp;km/litre, supposed low reliability (it is "classic" 1940s engineering after all and requires regular service adjustment; you can find an Enfield mechanic with decades of experience in every town in India, who will perform miracles at about ₹100 an hour labour cost), and claimed difficulty to handle (actually the bike handles beautifully, but may be a wee heavy and seat high for some). Or, one can opt for the smaller yet quicker and more fuel efficient bikes. They can range from 100 cc to the newly launched 220 cc bikes. Three most popular bike manufacturers are Hero, Bajaj and Honda. The smaller variants (100-125 cc) can give you a mileage exceeding 50&nbsp;km/litre on the road, while giving less power if one is opting to drive with pillion on the highways. The bigger variants (150-220 cc) are more powerful and one can get a feel of the power especially on highways - the mileage is lesser for these bikes anywhere between 35&nbsp;km/litre to 45&nbsp;km/litre. Preferably tourists should go for second hand bikes rather than purchasing new ones. The smaller 100 cc variants can be purchased for anywhere between ₹15,000-25,000 depending on the year of make and condition of vehicle. The bigger ones can be brought from ₹30,000 onwards. ===By hitch hiking=== Hitch-hiking in India is very easy due to the enormous number of cargo trucks on every highway and road. Most drivers do not speak English or any other international language; however, most have a very keen sense of where the cities and villages are along the road. It is rare for any of them to expect payment. For safety concerns, it is not recommended as all the drivers cannot be trusted. Hitch-hiking in cities, highways and crowded places is safe, but refrain from hitchhiking on deserted places, less populated areas, forest roads, etc. ===By auto-rickshaw=== [[File:Havelock Autorickshaw.JPG|thumb|A typical Indian autorickshaw, [[Andaman Islands]]]] The auto-rickshaw, usually abbreviated and referred to as '''auto''' and sometimes as '''rickshaw''', is the most common means of hired transportation in India. They are very handy for short-distance travel in cities, especially since they can weave their way through small alleys to bypass larger cars stuck in travel jams, but are not very suitable for long distances. Most are green and yellow, due to the new CNG gas laws, and some may be yellow and black in colour, with one wheel in the front and two in the back, with a leather or soft plastic top. When getting an auto-rickshaw, you can either negotiate the fare or go by the meter. In almost all cases it is better to use the meter—a negotiated fare means that you are being charged a higher than normal rate. A metered fare starts around ₹13(different for different areas), and includes the first 1 to 2 kilometres of travel. '''Never''' get in an auto-rickshaw without either the meter being turned on, or the fare negotiated in advance. In nearly all cases the driver will ask an exorbitant sum (for Indian standards) from you later. A normal fare would be ₹11-12 for the first km and ₹7-8 per km after that. In most cities, auto-rickshaw drivers are provided with a rate card that elaborately describes the fares on per kilometre basis. A careful tourist must verify the meter reading against the rate card before making a payment. Auto-rickshaws carry either digital or analog meters wherein the analog meters may have been tampered with. It may be a better option to go for a negotiated fare when the auto-rickshaw has an analogue meter. Ideally, you should talk with a local to find out what the fare for any estimated route will be. Higher rates may apply at night, and for special destinations such as airports. Finally, factor in that auto drivers may have to pay bribes to join the queue for customers at premium locations such as expensive hotels. The bribe will be factored in the fare. Make sure that the driver knows where he is going. Many autorickshaw drivers will claim to know the destination without really having any clue as to where it is. If you know something about the location, quiz them on it to screen out the liars. If you do not know much about the location, make them tell you in no uncertain terms that they know where it is. This is because after they get lost and drive all over the place, they will often demand extra payment for their own mistake. You can then tell them that they lied to you, and wasted your time, so they should be happy to get the agreed-upon fee. ===Addresses=== If you need to get anywhere, call in advance and ask for detailed directions. Bear in mind that street signs in India tend to be rare or nonexistent outside the cities. Postal addresses will often carry landmark details "Opp. Prithvi theatre" or "Behind Maruti Showroom" or "near temple / church / mosque / bank branch / police station / school" to ease the search. Unlike the western system of address, the Indian system uses plot number or house number, street, road followed by landmark and the location pin code instead of street name and block number. Finding a place will usually involve some searching, but you will always find someone around the area willing to guide you. Unlike many other countries, Indians ask passers-by, nearby shopkeepers or cops for guidance on street addresses. So you may do the same, people would be happy to help. Using Google maps with GPS works well most of the time in major cities but at times may not be accurate due to incorrect spelling of road or incorrect positioning on map. ===Inner Line permit=== Inner Line Permit is an official travel document issued by the Government of India to allow inward travel of an Indian citizen into a protected/restricted area for a limited period. It is obligatory for Indian citizens from outside those states to obtain a permit for entering into the protected state. The document is an effort by the Government to regulate movement to certain areas near the international border of India. This is a security measure and it is applicable for the following states: * [[Arunachal Pradesh]] – permits are issued by the Secretary of the Government of Arunachal Pradesh. The permits are required for entering the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh through any of the check gates across the inter-state border with Assam or Nagaland. Permits are obtained at Arunachal Bhavan in all major cities. Permits are given to specific districts and therefore plan the itinerary before applying for district entry permits. Checkpoints at every district border only allow locals and permit holders. * [[Manipur]] - permits are issued by the Government of Manipur to allow inward travel of an Indian citizen into the state for a limited period to avoid uncontrollable influx. Foreign tourists are not provided the permits. * [[Mizoram]] – permits are issued by the Government of Mizoram. The permit is required for entering the Indian state of Mizoram through any of the check gates across the inter-state borders. * [[Nagaland]] – a permit is mandatory for a mainland Indian citizen entering the state of Nagaland through any of the check gates across the inter-state borders. * [[Sikkim]] - a permit required for the '[[Nathu La]]' Pass which was an important passage of the silk route in medieval era and now a part of the border between India and China. Foreigners are not provided the permits. Only Indian citizens are allowed beyond the point. Further permits for high altitude regions like '[[Lachung]]-[[Lachen]]' along with a high altitude lake called '[[Gurudongmar Lake]]' can be obtained from Gangtok directly. Foreigners may be allowed. Another point known as 'Zero Point' also requires permits. * [[Andaman and Nicobar Islands]] - non-Indians need a Restricted Area Permit to visit the islands, but these are now issued on arrival at the Port Blair airport; if you plan to arrive by sea, you'll need to arrange your permit before arrival, either in Chennai or when applying for your Indian visa. Indian nationals do not require a permit to visit the Andamans, but permits are required to visit Nicobar Islands and other tribal areas, and are rarely given. ==See== To see all the places worth visiting in India, even a 6-month visit is arguably inadequate. There are more tourist destinations in India than can be mentioned in a full-length book, let alone a summary. Almost every state in India has over ten major tourist destinations and there are cities which can barely be tasted in a full week. Many Indian states by themselves are bigger and more populous than most of the countries in the world, and there are 28 states and 8 Union Territories in India, including two island chains outside the Mainland. That said, below are some highlights. ===Historical monuments and forts=== Probably the most famous single attraction in India is the '''[[Agra|Taj Mahal]]''', which is widely recognised as the jewel of Islamic art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the [[UNESCO World Heritage List|world's heritage]]. [[File:RedFort.jpg|thumb|260px|Red Fort, Delhi]] The '''Qutb Minar''' and the impressive '''Red Fort''' are the two most prominent historical monuments in [[Delhi]]. [[Jaipur]], the capital of the [[Western India|western]] state of [[Rajasthan]], is incredibly rich in forts and palaces, including the tremendous '''Amber Fort''', beautiful '''Jal Mahal''' (Water Palace) and unique '''Hawa Mahal'''. [[Nalanda]] in [[Bihar]] has the remains of a university of Buddhism that was established in 450 CE. For a rather different and more modern kind of historical monument, the '''Gandhi Ashram''' in [[Ahmedabad]], founded by the Mahatma himself, is a repository of all things Gandhi. ===Houses of worship=== No visit to India would be complete without a trip to some of the country's fantastic temples. All regions of the country are replete with temples. The city of [[Jammu]], the winter capital of [[Jammu and Kashmir]] state, has so many temples that it's called the '''"City of Temples"''' and is a major draw for Hindu pilgrims. [[Bishnupur (West Bengal)|Bishnupur]] in [[West Bengal]] is home to famous '''terracotta temples'''. The '''Sri Venkateswara Temple''' in [[Tirupati]], [[Andhra Pradesh]], is dedicated to Vishnu and is also a major draw for pilgrims. The '''Tantric temple complexes of [[Khajuraho]]''' in [[Madhya Pradesh]] are much beloved for their thousand-year-old sacred erotic wall carvings, considered by some art historians to be the pinnacle of erotic art. The '''Meenakshi Amman Temple''' in [[Madurai]], [[Tamil Nadu]], is a centre of worship of Parvati, the consort of Shiva. The city of [[Thanjavur]] in Tamil Nadu known for its grand Chola-era temples. Hinduism is not the only religion represented among the great temples of India. The world headquarters of the Sikh religion are in the '''Golden Temple''' in [[Amritsar]], [[Punjab (India)|Punjab]]. [[Leh]] and environs, in the Kashmiri region of [[Ladakh]], are one of a number of areas that have '''splendid Buddhist temples or monasteries'''. The '''Ranakpur Temple''' in the small Rajasthani town of [[Ranakpur]] is an impressive and historic Jain temple. India's second-largest religion in adherents after Hinduism is Islam, and many parts of India were ruled by Muslim dynasties for hundreds of years, so it's not surprising that India is also home to many magnificent mosques. Some of them, like the mosque in the Taj, are part of historical monuments. One impressive mosque that's very much in use to this day is the lovely 17th-century '''Jama Masjid''' in Old [[Delhi]]. [[Hyderabad]] in [[Southern India|the south]] has several historical mosques, including '''Charminar Masjid''' and '''Mecca Masjid'''. There are also notable churches in various Indian cities, and the dwindling ancient Jewish community of [[Kochi]], [[Kerala]], continues to use their famous synagogue, which is a tourist attraction nowadays. ===Geographical=== [[File:Varanasi Munshi Ghat3.jpg|thumb|Munshi Ghat along the Ganges in Varanasi]] India is a very geographically varied country. In the north of the country, one can see the '''Himalayas''', the Earth's highest mountain range. There are hilly areas in many non-Himalayan states, too. In India, '''hill stations''' — towns in the cooler areas in foothills or high valleys surrounded by mountains, which were favored by rajas, then the British and now Indian tourists in the hot summer months — are considered sights and experiences in themselves. The largest of them is Jammu and Kashmir's summer capital, [[Srinagar]], but [[Darjeeling]], in view of Mount Kangchenjunga in the [[North Bengal|northern part]] of [[West Bengal]], is very famous for its tea. Other famous hill stations include [[Shimla]], [[Ooty]] and [[Gangtok]], and there are many others — most states have some. India is also a country of numerous rivers. Several of them are traditionally considered holy, but especially the '''Ganges''', locally known as Ganga, which brings life to the [[Plains (India)|Indian Plains]], India's breadbasket, and is not just an impressive body of water but a centre of ritual ablutions, prayer and cremation. There are several holy cities along the river that have many temples, but they are often less places of pilgrimage to specific temples than holy cities whose temples have grown because of the ghats (steps leading down to the holy river) and most interesting to visit for the overall experience of observing or partaking in the way of life and death along the river. Foremost among these holy cities is [[Varanasi]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], where some 5,000-year-old rituals are still practised; other cities worth visiting to experience the Ganges include [[Rishikesh]] and [[Haridwar]], much further upstream. India also has a long coastline. The '''beaches''' of [[Goa]], also an interesting former Portuguese colony; [[Kochi]]; and the [[Andaman Islands]] are among the most appreciated by domestic and foreign visitors. Finally, India has a vast desert, the '''[[Thar Desert]]''' in [[Rajasthan]]. Several Rajasthani cities including [[Jaisalmer]] are good bases for camel safaris. ===Wildlife=== {{seealso|Wildlife in South and Southeast Asia|Indian national parks and wildlife sanctuaries}} India is famous for its wildlife, including the Bengal tigers, Asiatic lions and elephants. * [[Keibul Lamjao National Park]] in [[Manipur]] is the world's only floating national park, floating on the mirror like [[Loktak lake]], where the world's only dancing deer species, Brow antlered deer ([[Manipuri phrasebook|Manipuri]]: Sangai) is found. Another one, the [[Sirohi National Park]] is the world's only habitat for the world's only terrestrial lily, the Shirui Lily (Lilium macklineae), which can't be grown in any part of the earth except in the Shirui NP in [[Manipur]], despite innumerable serious experiments of numerous scientists. * [[Bandhavgarh National Park]] in [[Madhya Pradesh]] and [[Ranthambhore National Park]] in [[Rajasthan]] are the most likely places for you to spot an Indian tiger in the wild, though you will still have to have some luck and persistence. * [[Gir Forest National Park]] in [[Gujarat]] is dedicated to the preservation of Asiatic lions. * [[Sundarbans National Park]], on the border with [[Bangladesh]] is the largest mangrove forest and delta in the world, home to the famous Royal Bengal tigers and estuarine crocodiles but also fascinating as an overall ecosystem. * [[Pench National Park]] in Madhya Pradesh is one of the places that may have inspired Rudyard Kipling's ''Jungle Book''. * [[Kaziranga National Park]] in Assam is home to the world's largest population of one-horned rhinoceros. ==Do== ===Fairs and festivals=== [[File:Holi Bonfire Udaipur.jpg|thumb|Holi bonfire in [[Udaipur]]]] '''Goa Fair''' (carnival). February heralds the carnival at [[Goa]]. For three days and nights the streets come alive with colour. Held in mid February the week-long event is a time for lively processions, floats, the strumming of guitars, graceful dances and of non-stop festivity. One of the more famous of Indian carnivals, the Goa Festival is a complete sell out in terms of tourism capacities. '''Surajkund Mela''' (1–15 February). As spring glides in, full of warmth and vibrancy, leaving the grey winter behind, Surajkund adorns itself with colourful traditional crafts of India. Craftsmen from all over the country assemble at Surajkund during the first fortnight of February to participate in the annual celebration that is the Surajkund Crafts Mela. '''Holi'''. The Spring Festival of India, Holi is a festival of colours. Celebrated in March or April, according to the Hindu calendar, it was meant to welcome spring and win the blessings of Gods for good harvests and fertility of the land. As with all Hindu festivals, there are many interesting legends attached to Holi, the most popular being that of Prince Prahlad, who was a devout follower of Lord Vishnu. It is the second most important festival of India after Diwali. Holi in India is a festival of fun and frolic and has been associated with the immortal love of Krishna and Radha. The exuberance and the festivity of the season are remarkable. '''Diwali'''. The festival of lights, Diwali, illuminates the darkness of the New Year's moon, and is said to strengthen close friendships and knowledge with a self-realisation. Diwali is celebrated on a nation-wide scale on Amavasya – the 15th day of the dark fortnight of the Hindu month of Ashwin (Oct/Nov) every year. It symbolises that age-old culture of India which teaches to vanquish ignorance that subdues humanity and to drive away darkness that engulfs the light of knowledge. The festival of lights still today projects the rich and glorious past of India. '''Pushkar Mela'''. Every November the sleepy little township of [[Pushkar]] in Rajasthan comes alive in a riot of colours and a frenzied burst of activity during the Pushkar Fair. Few fairs in the world can match the liveliness of Pushkar. It includes the world's largest camel fair, but is much more than that. ===Sports=== *'''[[Cricket]]'''. India is a cricket-obsessed country and cricket is in the blood of most Indians. India plays an important role in world cricket and has been world champion twice in the ICC Cricket World Cup, in 1983 beating the mighty West Indies in the final, and Sri Lanka in 2011. India also emerged triumphant in the inaugural ICC T20 World Cup in 2007 held in South Africa beating arch-rival Pakistan in a nail-biting final. The popularity of cricket in India is second to no other game, so seeing children playing cricket in parks and alleys with rubber balls and makeshift wickets is very common. Until 2008, Indian cricket was all about the national team playing against other countries in one-day matches or epic five-day Test marathons, but the advent of the [http://www.iplt20.com/ Indian Premier League] (IPL) has, for better or worse, brought fast-paced, commercialised "Twenty20" cricket to the fore, complete with cheerleaders and massive salaries. In international matches, while Australia typically poses the strongest challenge to Indian supremacy, the most intense rivalry by far is with neighbouring Pakistan, and matches between the two sides are often a very charged affair. About half-a dozen Indian stadiums have a capacity of over 45,000 and watching a cricket match can be quite an experience. Eden Gardens cricket stadium in [[Kolkata]] is Asia's highest capacity stadium with a 66,349 seating capacity and is the oldest cricket stadium in the Indian subcontinent, established in 1865, and is comparable to the stadiums of Lords' in London and the MCG in Melbourne. The atmosphere of most matches is electrifying. ''Nearly all'' international matches have sellout crowds, and it is quite normal for fans to bribe officials and make their way in. Starting ticket prices are quite cheap; they can be as low as ₹250–300. India and Pakistan are all-time arch rivals, and cricket matches between the two nations attract up to a billion TV viewers, including many people who are otherwise not cricket fans. *'''Football''' (soccer) You can come across young boys playing with a football on any open space that is available, as with cricket. Club football is very popular, especially among youth and you will find people getting into heated arguments in public places over their favourite teams. Many people also support national teams other than India, but it usually depends on the nationality of their favourite players. Also, many large restaurants and bars offer a view of important European club matches and the World Cup matches. The most famous and electrifying rivalry is the ''Kolkata Derby'' between Mohun Bagan Athletic club (established 1889) and East Bengal Football club (Estd.-1920) held in Salt Lake stadium (the second-largest non-auto racing stadium in the world) in [[Kolkata]], the football capital of India and a tremendously football crazy city. This rivalry is widely regarded to be the oldest and most intense football rivalry in Asia. *'''[[Field hockey|Hockey]]''' (field hockey) – The national game of India, hockey retains a prominent position in the hearts of many Indians, despite the craze for cricket and football. Although the viewership has dwindled significantly (as compared to the golden era before cricket came to the fore in the mid-1980s), it hasn't vanished completely. It still has a significant fan base, especially in North India, some eastern parts like Jharkhand, Odisha and the Northeastern states. The introduction of the Premier Hockey League has helped restore its popularity. Speakers of US/Canadian English should also note that 'hockey' refers to field hockey, not ice hockey. *''' Formula One''' – Not very popular in India, though there has been one Formula One race held at Noida. People now know the names of drivers such as Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso, while ten years earlier only a few knew this sport. *'''Polo'''. Polo is a gift from [[Manipur]], India to the world. The game was taken from India by the Europeans during the 19th century and spread across the globe. ''"Polo can be traced to origins in [[Manipur]] state c. 3100 BC, when it was played as Sagol Kangjei."'' - Guinness World Records, 1991, page no. 706. The Imphal Polo Ground ([[Manipuri phrasebook|Manipuri]]: Mapal Kangjeibung) is the world's oldest polo ground and is in the heart of [[Imphal]], the capital city of [[Manipur]]. ==Buy== ===Money=== {{exchange rates | currency=Indian rupees | currencyCode=₹ | date= March 2022 | USD=75 | EUR=84 | GBP=100 | source=[http://www.xe.com/currency/inr-indian-rupee XE.com] }} {{infobox|The money that isn't|In 2016, the old yellow ₹500 and red ₹1000 banknotes were demonetised (made invalid) at very short notice in a ham-fisted attempt to fight corruption. If you have any lying around, they are no longer legal tender and they're impossible to exchange, so '''don't accept these''' if somebody tries to palm any off to you: [[File:India 500 INR, MG series, 2014, obverse.jpg|x117px]] [[File:India 1000 INR, MG series, 2006, obverse.jpg|x117px]] The new ₹500 note is grey, and there is no ₹1000 note at all. The new ₹2000 note is magenta in colour. }} The currency in India is the Indian '''rupee''' (sign: ₹; code: '''INR''') (रुपया &mdash; ''rupaya'' in Hindi and similarly named in most Indian languages, but ''taka'' in Maithili, ''Taakaa'' in Bengali and ''Toka'' in Assamese). The rupee is subdivided into 100 paise (singular: paisa). "5 rupees 75 paise" would normally be written as "₹5.75". The new rupee symbol ₹ was introduced in July 2010 to bring the rupee's symbol in line with other major currencies. Previously, "Rs" was used (or "Re" for the singular rupee). It is very likely you will continue to see the previous nomenclature in your Indian travels, especially with smaller businesses and street vendors. Indian banknotes or bills come in denominations of ₹5 (green) ^{'''[printing discontinued]'''}, ₹10 (orange and violet/chocolate brown), ₹20 (reddish-orange/greenish yellow), ₹50 (violet/fluorescent blue), ₹100 (greenish blue/lavender), ₹200 (bright yellow), ₹500 (stone grey) and ₹2,000 (magenta). There are two versions of ₹10, ₹20, ₹50 and ₹100 banknotes due to the introduction of a new series of the currency by the government in 2016 following the demonetisation. It is always good to have a number of small bills on hand, as merchants and drivers sometimes have no change. A useful technique is to keep small bills (₹10-50) in your wallet or in a pocket, and to keep larger bills separate. Then, it will not be obvious how much money you have. Many merchants will claim that they don't have change for a ₹100 or ₹500 note. This is often a lie so that they are not stuck with a large bill. It is best not to buy unless you have exact change. The coins in circulation are ₹1, ₹2, ₹5, ₹10 and ₹20. Coins are useful for buying tea (₹5), for bus fares (₹2 to ₹10), and for giving exact change for an auto-rickshaw. Indians commonly use '''lakh''' and '''crore''' for 100,000 and 10,000,000 respectively. Though these terms come from Sanskrit, they have been adopted so deeply into Indian English that most people are not aware that they are non-existent in other English dialects. You may also find non-standard, although standard in India, placement of commas while writing numerals. One crore rupees would be written as ₹1,00,00,000, so first time you place a comma after three numerals, then after every two numerals. This format may puzzle you till you start thinking in terms of lakhs and crores, after which it will seem natural. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Number !! English Format !! Indian Format (In English) !!

Example: <br> • ₹800 / 100 = 8; 8 + 4 ≈ 12 of your usual currency When your usual currency equals between 80 and 110 rupees, do this to convert a price in rupees: Divide by 100. Example:<br> • ₹900 / 100 ≈ 9 of your usual currency And your usual currency being between 110 and 133 rupees, do this to convert a price in rupees: Divide by 1000 and multiply by 8. Example: <br> • ₹1000 / 1000 = 1; 1 * 8 ≈ 8 of your usual currency This works well for everyday expenses. For rather high amounts of money, it's better to convert with the exact exchange rate, e.g. with an app. ===Changing money=== [[File:SardarMarket Fabrics.JPG|thumb|240px|Rajasthani fabric for sale, [[Jodhpur]]]] The Indian rupee is not fully convertible; foreigners are '''not allowed''' to bring Indian rupees into or out of India, while Indian citizens are restricted to carrying '''up to ₹25,000''' when exiting or entering India. Rates for exchanging rupees overseas are often poor, although places with significant Indian populations (e.g. Dubai, Singapore) can give decent rates. You can change foreign currencies into rupees at any one of the numerous foreign exchange conversion units including banks. Most ATMs will pay out ₹10,000 in each transaction. State Bank of India (SBI) is the biggest bank in India and has the most ATMs. ICICI bank has the second largest network of ATMs and accepts most of the international cards at a nominal charge. International banks like Citibank, HSBC, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, ABN Amro and Standard Chartered have a significant presence in major Indian cities. It is always worthwhile to have bank cards or credit cards from at least two different providers to ensure that you have a backup available in case one card is suspended by your bank or simply does not work work at a particular ATM. In many cities and towns, credit cards are accepted at retail chain stores and other restaurants and stores. Small businesses and family-run stores almost never accept credit cards, so it is useful to keep a moderate amount of cash on hand. Electronic payments including Google Pay, PayPe and Paytm are increasingly popular across India, but you will need both an Indian phone number and an Indian bank account to sign up. ===Maximum Retail Price - MRP=== When buying factory packaged food or drinks (e.g. lemonade, cola, etc.) always have a look for a stamp on the packaging. It will tell you the MRP (short for maximum retail price) and you can't be forced to pay more than that. ===Costs=== Costs in India can vary widely from region to region, and even in the same city, depending on the quality of service or product, brand, etc. But usually, India is '''not very expensive''' for the foreign traveller. ====Mid-range to high-range travellers==== ₹ 5000, at least, needed for a decent room in a good hotel offering cable TV, air conditioning and a direct telephone; however, this price doesn't include a refrigerator. Food will cost at least ₹150 for a decent meal (at a stall, not a hotel), but the sky is the limit. While bus transportation will cost approximately ₹5 for a short distance of about 1&nbsp;km, a taxi or rickshaw may cost ₹20-₹30 for the same distance without air conditioning. There are radio taxis that are available at ₹ 20 to 25 per km in key Indian cities which have GPS navigation, air conditioned and accept debit/credit cards for payments. They are a very safe mode of travel. So the total for one day would be about as below: *Hotel: US$60 for a good place per day *Food: US$10 for a good meal per day *Travel: US$10 taxi and bus together Total: US$80 for a couple, US$70 for a person alone ====Budget travellers==== Budget travel around India is surprisingly easy, with the savvy backpacker able to get by (relatively comfortably) on as little as US$25–35 per day. It is generally cheaper than South East Asia with a night in a hotel costing as little as ₹200-1,000 (though there will be probably no air conditioning or room service for this price). Beach huts in the cheaper places of Goa can cost around ₹800 per night. A meal can be bought from a street trader for as little as ₹30, though, in a restaurant expect, to pay around ₹200-300 for a beer or two. Overnight buses and trains can cost anywhere from ₹600-1,000 dependent on distance and locations, though an uncomfortable government bus (benches only) may be cheaper. ===Tipping=== In India there has traditionally been little or no tipping, and today tipping is unusual outside of fancier restaurants where up to 10% is appropriate. The fancier restaurants may also levy a service charge of up to 15% apart from government taxes. Some restaurants have also have started placing jars at the cashier for people to drop in some change if they feel so, but this is a rather rare phenomenon. Most clubs in India have a complete ban on its members from tipping. Usually no service industry except the food services industry expects a tip. In India, it is unlawful for taxi or rickshaw drivers to charge anything above the meter. ===Shopping=== [[File:Delhi main bazaar.jpg|thumb|At the main bazaar in Delhi]] In India, you are '''''expected'' to negotiate the price''' with street hawkers but not in department stores and the like. If not, you risk overpaying many times, which can be okay if you think that it is cheaper than at home. In most of the big cities and even smaller towns retail chain stores are popping up where the shopping experience is essentially identical to similar stores in the West. There are also some government-run stores like the '''Cottage Emporium''' in New Delhi, where you can sample wares from all across the country in air-conditioned comfort. Although you will pay a little more at these stores, you can be sure that what you are getting is not a cheap knockoff. The harder you [[bargaining|bargain]], the more you save money. A few tries later, you will realise that it is fun. Often, the more time you spend in a shop, the better deals you will get. It is worth spending time getting to know the owner, asking questions, and getting him to show you other products (if you are interested). Once the owner feels that they will make a sufficient profit from you, they will often give you additional goods at a rate close to cost, rather than the common "foreigner rate". You will get better prices and service by buying many items in one store than by bargaining in multiple stores individually. If you see local people buying in a store, you should be able to find out the real Indian prices. Ask someone around you quietly, "How much would you pay for this?" Also, very often you will meet a "friend" in the street inviting you to visit their family's shop. That almost always means that you pay twice as much as when you had been in the shop without your newly found friend. ''Baksheesh'' was originally a Persian word for charity, but it has spread to many languages including most of those in India. Depending on context, its English translation might be any of donation, gift, tip, bribe, alms or commission. Having Indians you deal with want baksheesh is a fairly common phenomenon. While this is sometimes a problem, doing it can ease certain problems and clear some hurdles. Baksheesh is also the term used by beggars when they want money from you and may refer to tips given those who provide you a service. Packaged goods show the '''Maximum Retail Price (MRP)''' on the package. This includes taxes. Retailers are not supposed to charge more than this. Though this rule is adhered to at most places, at tourist destinations or remote places, you may be charged more. This is especially true for cold drinks like Coke or Pepsi, where a bottle (300 ml) costs around ₹33-35 when the actual price is ₹30. Also, keep in mind that a surprising number of things do not come in packaged form. Do check for the authenticity of the MRP, as shopkeepers may put up their own sticker to charge more from you. ===What to look for/buy=== *'''Wood Carvings''': India produces a striking variety of carved wood products that can be bought at very low prices. Examples include decorative wooden plates, bowls, artwork, furniture and miscellaneous items that will surprise you. Check the regulations of your home country before attempting to import wooden items. *'''Clothing''': It depends on the state/region you are visiting. Most of the states have their speciality to offer. For example go for silk sarees if you are visiting Benaras; Block prints if you are in Jaipur *'''Paintings''': Paintings come on a wide variety of media, such as cotton, silk, or with frame included. Gemstone paintings incorporate semi-precious stone dust, so they have a glittering appearance to them. *'''Marble and stone carvings''': Common carved items include elephants, Hindu gods/goddesses. Compare several of the same kind. If they look too similar bargain hard as they are probably machine made. *'''Jewellery''': Beautiful necklaces, bracelets and other jewellery are very inexpensive in India. *'''Pillow covers, bedsets''': Striking and rich designs are common for pillows and bed covers. *'''Carpets''': India has a long [[Carpets#Indian_subcontinent|history]] of carpet production and makes many today for both domestic and export markets. Designer brands like Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, Zara, A & F, all are available in upmarket stores. ==Eat== {{seealso|South Asian cuisine}} Indian cuisine takes its place among the great cuisines of the world. There is a good chance that you'd have tasted "Indian food" in your country, especially if you are a traveller from the West, but what India has exported abroad is just one part of its extraordinary range of culinary diversity. [[File:Namaste Delhi Indian Cuisine.jpg|thumb|Indian Cuisine in [[New Delhi]]]] Indian food can be spicy: Potent fresh green chillies or red chilli powder will bring tears to the eyes of the uninitiated, and can be found in unexpected places like sweet cornflakes (a snack, not breakfast) or even candies. The degree of spiciness varies widely throughout the country: [[Andhra Pradesh|Andhra]] food is famously fiery, while [[Gujarat]]i cuisine is quite mild in taste with the exception of Surti food (from [[Surat]]). To enjoy the local food, start slowly. Don't try everything at once. After a few weeks, you can get accustomed to spicy food. If you would like to order your dish not spicy, simply say so. Most visitors are tempted to try at least some of the spicy concoctions, and most discover that the sting is worth the trouble. Remember, too, that while "spicy" is a convenient short-hand for "chilli-laden," the spiciness of food in India doesn't always mean lots of chilli: Indian cuisines often use a multitude of different spices and other aromatic ingredients in highly creative and flavourful ways. ===Cuisine=== Cuisine in India varies greatly from region to region. The "Indian food" served by many so-called Indian restaurants in the Western hemisphere is inspired by [[Plains (India)|North India]]n cooking, specifically '''Mughlai''' cuisine, a style developed by the royal kitchens of the historical Mughal Empire, and the regional cuisine of the [[Punjab]], although it has been Britainised and the degree of authenticity in relation to actual Mughlai or Punjabi cooking is variable at best and dubious at worst. [[File:Chuni Roti.jpg|thumb|Chuni roti]] '''North India''' is a wheat-growing area, so you have '''Indian breads''' (known as ''roti''), including ''chapatti'' (unleavened bread), ''paratha'' (pan-fried layered roti), ''naan'' (cooked in a clay ''tandoor'' oven), ''puri'' (deep-fried and puffed up bread) and many more. A typical meal consists of one or more gravy dishes along with rotis, to be eaten by breaking off a piece of roti, dipping it in the gravy and eating them together. Most of the Hindi heartland of India survives on roti, rice, and '''lentils''' (''dal''), which are prepared in several different ways and made spicy to taste. Served on the side, you will usually find spiced yogurt (''raita'') and either fresh chutney or a tiny piece of exceedingly pungent pickle (''achar''), very much an acquired taste for most visitors &mdash; try mixing it with curry, not eating it plain. A variety of regional cuisines can be found throughout the North. ''Tandoori'' chicken, prepared in a clay oven called a ''tandoor'', is probably the best-known North Indian dish, innovated by a Punjabi immigrant from present-day Pakistan during the Partition. For a taste of traditional Punjabi folk cooking, try ''dal makhani'' (stewed black lentils and kidney beans in a buttery gravy), or ''sarson da saag'', a yummy gravy dish made with stewed mustard greens, served with ''makke di roti'' (flatbread made from maize). There are also the hearty textures and robust flavours of [[Rajasthan]]i food, the meat-heavy [[Kashmir]]i dishes from the valley of Kashmir, or the mild yet ingratiating [[Himalayan North|Himalayan]] (''pahari'') cuisine found in the higher reaches. North India also has of a variety of snacks like ''samosa'' (vegetables encased in thin pastry of a triangular shape) and ''kachori'' (either vegetable or pulses encased in thin pastry). There is also a vast constellation of sweet desserts like ''jalebi'' (deep-fried pretzel with sugar syrup- shaped like a spiral), ''rasmalai'' (balls of curds soaked in condensed milk) and ''halwa''. Dry fruits and nuts like almonds, cashews and pistachios are used a lot, often in the desserts, but sometimes also in the main meal. Authentic Mughal-style cooking, the royal cuisine of the Mughal Empire, can still be found and savoured in some parts of India, most notably the old Mughal cities of Delhi, [[Agra]] and [[Lucknow]] in [[Uttar Pradesh]], and [[Hyderabad]] in [[Telangana]]. It is a refined blend of [[Iran|Persian]], [[Central Asia|Turkic]] and [[Indian subcontinent|Subcontinent]] cooking, and makes heavy use of meat and spices. The names of some Mughal dishes bear the prefix of ''shahi'' as a sign of its prestige and royal status from a bygone era. Famous Mughal specialties include ''biryani'' (layered meat and rice casserole), ''pulao'' (rice cooked in a meat or vegetable broth), ''kebab'' (grilled meat), ''kofta'' (balls of mincemeat), ''rumali roti'' (flatbread whirled into paper-thin consistency) and ''shahi tukray'' (saffron and cardamom-scented bread pudding). [[File:Meal BananaLeaf.JPG|thumb|240px|A typically south Indian banana leaf meal]] {{seealso|Southern India#Eat}} In '''[[Southern India|South India]]''', the food is mostly '''rice-based'''. A typical meal includes ''sambhar'' (a thick vegetable and lentil chowder) with rice, ''rasam'' (a thin, peppery soup), or ''avial'' (mixed vegetables) with rice, traditionally served on a banana leaf as a plate. Seasoning in South India differs from northern regions by its ubiquitous use of mustard seeds, curry leaves, pulses, fenugreek seeds, and a variety of souring agents such as tamarind and kokum. There are regional variations too &mdash; the coastal regions make greater use of coconut and fish. In the State of [[Kerala]], it is common to use grated coconut in everything and coconut oil for cooking, while someone from the interior could be surprised to learn that coconut oil can be used for cooking. The South also has some great breakfast dishes like ''idli'' (a steamed cake of lentils and rice), ''dosa'', a thin, crispy pancake often stuffed with spiced potatoes to make ''masala dosa'', ''vada'', a savoury Indian donut, and ''uttapam'', a fried pancake made from a rice and lentil batter with onions and other vegetables mixed in. All of these can be eaten with ''dahi'', plain yogurt, and '''chutney''', a condiment that can be made from practically anything. Try the ever popular masala dosa, which originated from Udupi in [[Karnataka]], in one of the old restaurants of [[Bangalore]] like CTR and Janatha in Malleswaram or Vidyarthi Bhavan in Basavangudi or at MTR near Lalbagh. South Indian cuisine is predominantly vegetarian, though there are exceptions: Seafood is very popular in [[Kerala]] and the [[Mangalore]]an coast of Karnataka; and [[Tamil Nadu|Chettinad]] and Hyderabad cuisines use meat heavily, and are a lot spicier. Coffee tends to be the preferred drink to tea in South India. To the '''[[West (India)|West]]''', you will find some great cuisine groups. '''[[Gujarat]]i''' cuisine is somewhat similar to Rajastani cooking with the heavy use of dairy products, but differs in that it is predominantly vegetarian, and often sweetened with jaggery or sugar. Gujaratis make some of the best snack items such as the '''Dhokla''' and the '''Muthia'''. [[Mumbai]] is famous for its chaat, as well as the food of the small but visible Irani and Parsi communities concentrated in and around the city. The adjacent states of [[Maharashtra]] and Goa are renowned for their seafood, often simply grilled, fried or poached in coconut milk. A notable feature of Goan cooking is that pork and vinegar is used, a rare sight in the rest of India. Vindaloo originated in Goa, and is traditionally cooked with pork, and in spite of its apparent popularity in Indian restaurants abroad, it is not common in India itself. [[File:A scene from traditional Odia kitchen.jpg|thumb|"A scene from traditional Odia kitchen"]] To the '''[[East (India)|East]]''', '''[[West Bengal|Bengali]]''' and [[Odisha]]n food makes heavy use of rice, and fish due to the vast river channels and ocean coastline in the region. Bengali cooking is known for its complexity of flavor and bittersweet balance. Mustard oil, derived from mustard seeds, is often used in cooking and adds a pungent, slightly sweet flavour and intense heat. Bengalis prefer freshwater fish, in particular the iconic ilish or hilsa: it can be smoked, fried, steamed, baked in young plantain leaves, cooked with curd, aubergine and cumin seeds. It is said that ilish can be prepared in more than 50 ways. Typical Bengali dishes include ''maccher jhal'', a brothy fish stew which literally means "fish in sauce", and ''shorshe ilish'' (cooked in a gravy made from mustard seed paste). Eastern India is also famous for its desserts and sweets: Rasgulla is a famous variant of the better-known gulab jamun, a spherical morsel made from cow's milk and soaked in a clear sugar syrup. It's excellent if consumed fresh or within a day after it is made. ''Sondesh'' is another excellent milk-based sweet, best described as the dry equivalent of ras malai. A lot of food has also filtered in from other countries. '''Indian Chinese''' (or ''Chindian'') is far and away the most common adaptation: most Chinese would barely recognise the stuff, but dishes like ''veg manchurian'' (deep-fried vegetable balls in a chilli-soy-ginger sauce) and ''chilli chicken'' are very much a part of the Indian cultural landscape and worth a try. The British left fish and chips and some fusion dishes like mulligatawny soup, while [[Tibet]]an and [[Nepal]]i food, especially ''momo'' dumplings, are not uncommon in north India. Pizza has entered India in a big way, and the chains such as Pizza Hut and Domino's have Indianised the pizza and introduced adaptations like paneer-tikka pizza. There is an Indian chain called Smokin Joe's, based in Mumbai, which has mixed Thai curry with pizzas. It is, of course, impossible to do full justice to the range and diversity of Indian food in this brief section. Not only does every region of India have a distinctive cuisine, but you will also find that even within a region, castes and ethnic communities have different styles of cooking and often have their signature recipes which you will probably not find in restaurants. The adventurous traveller is advised to wangle invitations to homes, try various bylanes of the city and look for food in unlikely places like temples and Gurudhwaras in search of culinary nirvana. ===Fruits=== While a wide variety of fruits are native to India, including the ''chikoo'' and the ''jackfruit'', nothing is closer to an Indian's heart than a juicy ripe mango. Hundreds of varieties are found across most of its regions &mdash; in fact, India is the largest producer, growing more than half the world's output. Mangoes are in season at the hottest part of the year, usually between May and July, and range from small (as big as a fist) to some as big as a small cantaloupe. They can be consumed in their ripe, unripe and also a baby form (the last 2 predominantly in pickles). The best mango (the "King of Mangoes", as Indians call it) is the "Alphonso" or Haapoos (in Marathi), in season in April and May along the western coast of Maharashtra. Buy it from a good fruit shop in Mumbai or Mahatma Phule market (formerly Crawford market) in South Mumbai. Dushheri Mangoes are also popular in North India. Other fruits widely available (depending on the season) are bananas, oranges, guavas, lychees, apples, pineapples, pomegranates, apricots, melons, coconuts, grapes, plums, peaches and berries. ===Vegetarian=== {{infobox|Know your vegetarians|[[File:Vegmark.PNG|noframe|150px|right]] Most Indians who practise vegetarianism do so for religious or cultural reasons &mdash; though cultural taboos have their roots in ethical concerns. Indians' dietary restrictions come in all shapes and sizes and the two symbols (see right) do not capture the full range. The green dot means pure vegetarian. red dot means non-vegetarian, including only eggs (as in a fruit-egg cake). Here is a quick guide: * '''Veganism''' is practically unknown in many parts of India, because milk and honey are enthusiastically consumed by virtually everyone. But some restaurants in major cities, such as Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore increasingly cater for vegans. Foods like tofu, soy chunks (branded Nutrela) and soy milk are readily available in major cities, as well as some minor ones. **Eggs are considered non-vegetarian by many, though you are very likely to find people who are otherwise vegetarian eating eggs. These people are often referred to as '''eggetarians'''. That said, there are a number of foods that are vegan by default in India, including standard restaurant dishes such as aloo gobi, channa masala, various types of dal, dosas, and the vast majority of Indo-Chinese dishes. **Dishes made with dairy products are usually denoted as such (referencing their use of butter or ghee, in particular). Most restaurants will accommodate dietary restrictions and it is advisable to ask if a dish contains milk, butter, cream, yogurt or ghee. Virtually all Indian desserts, however, are non-vegan, with the exception of jalebi, an orange-coloured fried dough commonly found in western and northern India. * The strictest vegetarians are some '''Jains and some Brahmin sects''' - they not only abjure all kinds of meat and eggs, they also refuse to eat onions, potatoes or anything grown under the soil. * Even meat-eating Hindus often follow special diets during religious days or during '''fasts'''. Hindu fasts do not involve giving up all food, just eating a restricted diet &mdash; some take only fruits. * A very small group of Indians are, or used to be '''pescatarians''' &mdash; i.e. they count fish as vegetarian. Among these are Bengali and Konkani Brahmins. Such people are increasingly rare as most have taken to meat-eating.}} Visiting vegetarians will discover a culinary treasure that is found nowhere else in the world. Owing to a large number of strictly vegetarian Hindu Brahmins and Jains, Indian cuisine has evolved an astonishingly rich menu that uses no meat or eggs. The Jains in particular practise a strict form of vegetarianism based on the principles of non-violence and peaceful co-operative co-existence: Jains usually do not consume root vegetables such as potatoes, garlic, onions, carrots, radishes, cassava, sweet potatoes and turnips, as the plant needs to be killed prior to its end of normal life cycle, in the process of accessing these . At least half the menus of most restaurants are devoted to vegetarian dishes, and by law all packaged food products in India are tagged with a green dot (vegetarian) or red dot (non-veg). Veganism however is not a well-understood concept in India, and vegans may face a tougher time: milk products like cheese (''paneer''), yogurt (''dahi'') and clarified butter (''ghee'') are used extensively (in particular, ghee can be hard to spot as it can be mixed into curries before they are served), and honey is also commonly used as a sweetener. Milk in India is generally ''not'' pasteurised, and must be boiled before consumption. Even non-vegetarians will soon note that due to the Hindu taboo, '''beef''' is generally not served (except in the Muslim, Christian and Parsi communities, [[Goa]], [[Kerala]] and the [[Northeast India|North-Eastern states]]), and '''pork''' is also uncommon due to the Muslim population. Chicken and mutton are thus by far the most common meats used, although "buff" (water buffalo) is occasionally served in backpacker establishments. Seafood is of course ubiquitous in the coastal regions of India, and a few regional cuisines do use duck, venison and other game meats in traditional dishes. ===Etiquette=== In India eating with your hand (instead of cutlery like forks and spoons) is very common. There's one basic rule of etiquette to observe, particularly in non-urban India: '''Use only your right hand'''. The left hand is reserved for unhygienic uses. Don't stick either hand into communal serving dishes: instead, use the spatula with your left hand to serve yourself and then dig in. For all types of breads, the basic technique is to hold down the item with your forefinger and use your middle-finger and thumb to tear off pieces. The pieces can then be dipped in sauce, curry or used to pick up bits before you stuff them in your mouth. Rice is more challenging, but the basic idea is to use four fingers to mix the rice in curry and pack a little ball, before you pop it in your mouth by pushing it with your thumb. Most of the restaurants do provide cutlery and its pretty safe to use them instead of your hand. Eating by hand is frowned on in some "classier" places. If you are provided with cutlery and nobody else around you seems to be doing it, then take the hint. ===Restaurants=== {{infobox|Menus in English... well, almost|Menus in Indian restaurants are usually written in English &mdash; but using Hindi names. Here's a quick decoder key that goes a long way for understanding common dishes like ''aloo gobi'' and ''muttar paneer''. <!-- please don't repeat words already covered above. --> * ''aloo'' or ''aalu'' &mdash; potato * ''baigan'' or ''baingan'' &mdash; eggplant/aubergine * ''bhindi'' &mdash; okra * ''chana'' &mdash; chickpeas * ''dal'' &mdash; lentils * ''gobi'' &mdash; cauliflower (or other cabbage) * ''machli'' &mdash; fish * ''makkhan'' &mdash; butter * ''matar'' &mdash; green peas * ''mirch'' &mdash; chilli pepper * ''murgh'' or ''murg'' &mdash; chicken * ''palak'' or ''saag'' &mdash; spinach (or other greens) * ''paneer'' &mdash; Indian cottage cheese * ''subzi'' &mdash; vegetable}} Indian restaurants run the gamut from roadside shacks (''dhabas'') to classy five-star places where the experience is comparable to places anywhere in the world. Away from the big cities and tourist haunts, mid-level restaurants are scarce, and food choices will be limited to the local cuisine, Punjabi/Mughlai, "Chinese"/"Indo-Chinese" and occasionally South Indian. The credit for popularising Punjabi cuisine all over the country goes to the ''dhabas'' that line India's highways. Their patrons are usually the truckers, who happen to be overwhelmingly Punjabi. The authentic dhaba serves up simple yet tasty seasonal dishes like roti and dal with onions. Hygiene can be an issue in many dhabas, so if one's not up to your standards try another. In rural areas, dhabas are usually the only option. In South India, a "hotel" is local restaurant serving south Indian food, usually a ''thali'' or ''plate meal''—a full plate of food that usually includes a kind of bread and/or rice and an assortment of meat or vegetarian dishes—and prepared meals. Although you may be handed an extensive menu, most dishes are served only during specific hours, if at all. ==Drink== One of the sweetest and safest beverages you can get is young coconut water (''nariyal paani''). You can almost always find it in any beach or other tourist destinations in the south. In summer (Mar-Jul), you can get fresh sugarcane juice in many places and even a lot of fresh fruit juice varieties. India is famous for its Alphonso variety of mangoes, generally regarded as the King of Mangoes among connoisseurs. ''Frooti'', in its famous tetra-pack, is the most popular processed drink, followed by ''Maaza'' (bottled by Coca-Cola) or ''Slice'' (bottled by PepsiCo), both of which contain about 15% Alphonso mango pulp. Both cost about ₹30-50 for a 600 ml bottle. As for bottled water, make sure that the cap's seal has not been broken; otherwise, it is a tell-tale sign of tampering or that unscrupulous vendors reuse old bottles and fill them with tap water, which is generally unsafe for foreign tourists to drink without prior boiling. Bottled water brands like ''Aquafina'' (by PepsiCo) and ''Kinley'' (by Coca-Cola) are widely available. Local brands like ''Bisleri'', being the most popular one is perfectly safe. Tastes may vary due to the individual brands' mineral contents. In semi-urban or rural areas, it may be appropriate to ask for boiled water as well. ===Tea=== [[File:Indian chai tea - Haridwar - India.jpg|thumb|Making chai]] One can get tea (''chai'' in most North Indian languages) of one variety or the other everywhere in India. The most common method of preparing chai is by brewing tea leaves, milk, and sugar altogether in a pot and keeping it hot until it's all sold. It is sweet and uniquely refreshing once you get the taste for it. '''Masala chai''' will have, added to the above mix, spices such as cardamom, ginger or cinnamon etc. For some people, that takes some getting used to.<br /> While Masala chai is popular in Northern and Central India, people in Eastern India ([[West Bengal]] and [[Assam]]) generally consume tea without spices, the English way. This is also the part of India where most tea is grown. ===Coffee=== In South India, '''filter coffee''' replaces tea as the standard beverage. Indian filter coffee is a coffee drink made by mixing frothed and boiled milk with the decoction obtained by brewing finely ground coffee powder in a traditional Indian filter. ===Alcohol=== [[File:Labels of Indian beer Kingfisher.jpg|thumb|Kingfisher beer]] Drinking alcohol can either be frowned upon or openly accepted, depending on the region and religion of the area within which you are drinking. For example, Goa, Punjab and [[Pondicherry]] tend to be more free-wheeling (and have low taxes on alcohol), while a few southern areas like Chennai are less tolerant of alcohol, and may even charge excessive taxes on it. Some states such as Gujarat and Bihar are legally "dry" states and alcohol cannot be bought openly there, although there is a substantial bootlegging industry. Bootleg alcohol is unregulated and could kill you or make you sick, and you could also be in legal trouble if you are caught while drunk in a dry state. Favourite Indian tipples include beer, notably the ubiquitous '''Kingfisher''' (a decent lager), and rum, particularly '''Old Monk'''. Prices vary by state, especially for hard liquor, but you can expect to pay ₹50-100 for a large bottle of beer and anywhere between ₹170-250 for a 750 mL bottle of Old Monk. Mumbai tends to be the most expensive, due to local taxes, which can be three-times as much as Meghalaya. [[File:Wine barrels at Sula Vineyards.jpg|thumb|Wine barrels at Sula Vineyards]] Indian wines, long a bit of a joke, have improved remarkably and there's a booming wine industry in the hills of [[Maharashtra]]. The good stuff is not particularly cheap (expect to pay around ₹500 a bottle) and selections are mostly limited to white wines, but look out for labels by '''Chateau Indage''' or [https://sulavineyards.com/ '''Sula''']. Illegal moonshine, called ''tharra'' when made from sugar cane and ''toddy'' when made from coconuts, is widely available in some states. It's cheap and strong, but '''very dangerous''' as it may contain poisonous methanol. Quality control is nonexistent, and best avoided entirely. In the former Portuguese colony of Goa you can obtain an extremely pungent liquor called ''fenny'' or ''feni'', typically made from cashew fruits or coconuts. As of April 2017 it is illegal to sell alcohol within 500 m of a highway. This is controversial as it has hit restaurants, bars and hotels hard so check latest rulings before booking your hotel for any changers. ===Cannabis=== [[File:Bhang shop in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, India on June 6, 2006.jpg|thumb|240px|Government-authorised ''bhang'' shop, [[Jaisalmer]]]] [[Cannabis]] in its many forms, especially ''ganja'' (weed) and ''charas'' (hash), is widely available throughout India, but are all '''illegal''' in the vast majority of the country. The law states that simple possession may mean fines or years in prison, depending on the quantity possessed. However, in some states (notably Uttar Pradesh, [[Bihar]], [[Rajasthan]], [[Madhya Pradesh]], [[Uttarakhand]] and [[Orissa]]) the one legal and socially accepted way to consume cannabis is as '''''bhang''''', a low-grade preparation sold at government-licensed shops that is not only smoked, but also made into cookies, chocolate and the infamous ''bhang lassi'', an herb-laced version of the normally innocuous yogurt drink. ''Bhang lassi'' is usually available at varying strengths, so use caution if opting for the stronger versions. It's also occasionally sold as "special lassi", but is usually easily spotted by the ₹30-50 price tag (several times higher than the non-special kinds). An important point to bear in mind is that the effects of "Bhang" are slow and heighten when consumed with something sweet. Also, first-time users may want to wait a while before consuming too much in an effort to judge their tolerance. ==Sleep== Make sure to bring the passport wherever you go, as most hotels will not rent out rooms without a valid passport. Two important factors to keep in mind when choosing a place to stay are safety and cleanliness. [[Malaria]] is present in most areas of India. One way to combat malaria is to choose lodgings with air conditioning and sealed windows. An insect-repellent spray containing DEET will also help, or consider [[Permethrin-treated fabrics]]. Overcharging of foreigners is widespread and you will have to [[bargain]] hard. Many hotels listed on western booking websites (booking.com etc.) are also set at the "tourist price"; try local booking sites like Goibibo, redBus or OYO rooms, as these have much better coverage of local hotels and in rural areas. Choices vary widely depending on budget and location. Good budget hotels in India are easy to find. Cheap travellers' hotels are numerous in big cities where rooms are available for less than ₹450. Rooms at guest-houses with a double bed (and often a bathroom) can be found in many touristic venues for ₹150-200. [[Hostels|accommodation in clean dormitories]] for as little as ₹50 is also available. Bed and breakfast service providers are coming up offering standard services that can be expected from B&Bs outside India. The basics include: air-conditioner or air cooler, free food, and free wi-fi internet. Most Indian train stations have rooms or dormitories, just ask the railway officials or book it online on the [https://www.rr.irctctourism.com/#/home railway's dormitory website]. They are cheap, relatively well maintained (the beds, sheets, not the showers), in demand and secure. There are also the added bonus of not being accosted by the rickshaw mafia, getting the bags off quickly and, for the adventurous, high likelihood to jump on a cheap public bus back to the train station. Keep in mind you must have an arrival or departure train ticket from the station where you intend to sleep and there could be a limit on how many nights you may stay. Midrange options are plentiful in the larger cities and expanding fast into second-tier cities as well. Dependable local chains include [https://www.treebo.com/ Treebo], [https://www.radissonhotels.com/en-us/brand/country-inn Country Inns], [http://www.gingerhotels.com Ginger] and [http://www.neemranahotels.com Neemrana], and prices vary from ₹1,000-4,000 per night. Local, unbranded hotels can be found in any city, but quality varies widely. [[File:Taj hotel mumbai india.jpg|thumb|Hotel Taj Mahal, one of the most famous landmarks of [[Mumbai]]]] If the wallet allows it, you can try staying like royalty in a maharaja's palace in places like [[Udaipur]] or modern five-star hotels which are now found pretty much all over the country. The top-end of Indian luxury rests with hotel chains like [http://www.oberoihotels.com/ Oberoi], [http://www.tajhotels.com/ Taj], [https://www.theleela.com/en_us/ The Leela] and [http://www.itcwelcomgroup.in/ ITC Welcomgroup], who operate hotels in all the major cities and throughout [[Rajasthan]]. The usual international chains also run major 5-star hotels in most Indian metropolises, but due to India's economic boom availability is tight and prices can be crazy: it's not uncommon to be quoted over US$300/night for what would in other countries be a distinctly ordinary business hotel going for a third of the price. Also beware that some jurisdictions including [[Delhi]] and Bangalore charge stiff luxury taxes on the ''rack rate'' of the room, which can lead to nasty surprises at check-out time. One way of meeting interesting Indian travellers is by staying at an Dak bungalow. Also, called travellers' bungalows or inspection bungalows, they were built by the British to accommodate travelling officials and are now used by the Central and state governments for the same purpose. They exist in many towns and some rural locations. Most will take tourists at a moderate fee if they have room. They are clean, comfortable and usually in good locations, but plain with ceiling fans rather than air conditioning, shower but no bath. Typically the staff includes a pensioned-off soldier as night watchman and perhaps another as gardener; often the gardens are lovely. Sometimes there may be a cook; his or her services will be free but you should buy ingredients. Reliable electricity supply is present mainly in upmarket hotels. Brownouts are frequent, and many buildings have unsafe wiring. If you like having a beer at the bar or expect alcohol in the room fridge then make sure the hotel is more than {{meter|500}} from a highway. ==Learn== There are many things to learn that interest foreigners all over India, but there are a few destinations that have become particularly well known for certain things: *'''Yoga''' is popular in [[Haridwar]], [[Rishikesh]] and [[Mysore]]. *'''Ayurveda''' is popular in [[Kerala]]. The region also boasts of many dance and dramatic forms. *'''[[Hindi phrasebook|Hindi]]''' in [[Delhi]] and [[Varanasi]]. *'''Classical musical instruments''' in not only the ancient city of [[Varanasi]] but many parts of India, especially in Southern States, where they form the most integral part of Core Classicals. *'''Classical vocal music''' and '''classical dance forms''' in [[Tamil Nadu]] or [[Manipur]] or [[Karnataka]]. *'''Sanskrit''' at 'Samskrita Bharati' in areas of [[Udupi]], [[Bangalore]] in the state of Karnataka and [[Delhi]]. *'''Buddhism''' in [[Dharamsala]] and [[Bir]] in [[Himachal Pradesh]] as well as in [[Bodh Gaya]] in [[Bihar]]. *'''Cooking''' classes are also popular. The most well-known exported type of Indian food are the cuisines such as Idly, Dosa, Biryanis, Dals etc and regional cuisines such as Thalis, South Indian, and [[Punjab (India)|Punjab]]i, as the Sikhs have been the most successful in spreading Indian restaurants throughout the western world. However, styles vary a lot throughout the country, so if you have the time and appetite it's worth checking out courses in a variety of areas such as [[Karnataka]], [[Kerala]], [[Tamil Nadu]], and [[West Bengal]]. There are many Universities imparting education but at the helm are '''Indian Institutes of Technology''' (IITs) for technical undergraduates, '''Indian Institutes of Management''' (IIMs) for management postgraduates and '''National Law Universities/Schools''' (NLUs) which are world class institutes. Most of the ambitious students who want to get a good high level education strive to get into these institutes through admission processes which are rather very difficult ones both due to nature of test and the prevailing competition. For example, the 6 top IIMs (Including the 4 oldest - [[Ahmedabad]], [[Kolkata]], [[Bangalore]] & [[Lucknow]] plus newly established Indore and Kozhikode) together select only about 1,200 students from 350,000 students who appear for CAT exam. But still students have a great desire to get into these institutes. These institutes also offer degrees to foreign students. Apart from undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral courses, there are many training and diploma-level institutes and polytechnics that cater to the growing demand for skill-based and vocational education. Besides conventional educational institutes, foreigners might also be interested to study with Pandits to learn Hindi and Sanskrit in genuine settings as well as with Mullahs to study Urdu, Persian, and Arabic. They might also like to live with famed Ustads to study traditional Indian music. Whether people are interested in philosophy or religion, cuisine or dance, India will have the right opportunity for them. ==Work== Foreigners need a work permit to be employed in India. A work permit is granted if an application is made to the local Indian embassy along with proof of potential employment and supporting documents. There are many expatriates working in India, mostly for multinational companies. India has always had an expatriate community of reasonable size, and there are many avenues for finding employment, including popular job-hunting websites. Citizens of '''[[Nepal]]''' and '''[[Bhutan]]''' can live and work freely in India, and do not require work permits. There are many volunteer opportunities around the country including teaching. India has a reasonable presence of foreign Christian missionaries, who for the most part form the non-local religious workers, since the other major religions of the world either grew out of India or have had a long-term presence. A living can be made in the traveller scenes by providing some kind of service such as baking Western cakes, tattooing or massage. Previously, an AIDS test result was required as part of the work visa application process. It is highly recommended that applicants obtain test results in their home country beforehand if possible. ==Stay safe== [[File:Holy Cow (7438681490).jpg|thumb|Holy cow in [[Pushkar]]]] As a rule India is quite safe for foreigners, apart from instances of petty crime and theft common to any developing country, as long as certain basic precautions and common sense are observed (i.e. women should be cautious travelling alone at night). You can check with your embassy or ask for local advice before heading to [[Jammu and Kashmir]] and [[Ladakh]] in northern-most India, and to Northeast India, i.e. ([[Assam]], [[Nagaland]], [[Tripura]], [[Mizoram]], [[Meghalaya]], [[Manipur]] and [[Arunachal Pradesh]]). These areas have had serious law and order problems for a long time, though the situation has improved a lot. The same applies while travelling to what used to be a thickly forested area in East-Central India, which covers the states of [[Chhattisgarh]], [[Jharkhand]], the eastern edge of [[Maharashtra]] and the northern tip of [[Telangana]]. Though the problem is only in the remote areas of these states and normal areas to visit in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Maharashtra or Telangana are safe. [[File:India - Kolkata street beggar - 3246.jpg|thumb|A beggar in Kolkata]] Unfortunately '''theft''' is quite common in places visited by tourists, but violent thefts hardly ever occur. More likely a thief will [[pickpockets|pickpocket]] or break into your room. Take precautions to firmly lock the door while indoors, and be on guard while outside. Some people handling your cash will try to '''shortchange you or rip you off'''. In Delhi particularly, this is a universal rule adhered to by all who handle westerners' cash. This does not exclude official ticket sellers at tourist sites, employees at prepaid taxi stands, or merchants in all but the most upscale businesses. Count your cash before handing it over, and ensure receiving the correct change. It is advisable or better to agree on the fare before getting inside an auto or a taxi. This avoids any further unpleasant fare-related arguments. If you can take the advice of a local friend or someone manning your hotel's front desk to know how much it should cost to travel between two destinations, you will be a smart traveller. Overseas visitors are often magnets for [[begging|beggars]], frauds and touts. Beggars will often go as far as touching you and following you, tugging on your sleeve. It does little good to get angry or to say "No" loudly. The best response is to look unconcerned and ignore the behaviour. The more attention you pay to a beggar or a tout, positive or negative, the longer they will follow you hoping for a donation. Begging is criminalised in cities such as Mumbai and Delhi. It is however common in many cities, and in pilgrim cities, there are sadhus who live an ascetic lifestyle of the seeker that requires them to adopt bhiksha-charya (begging vows) only for sustaining the body. While hospitality is important in India, it is not common to see people offering to share food or cookies while they eat. Some such offers are genuine and some are not. In case you are travelling by train, you are offered food from a family group, you can take a bite. But if you are offered something by men or even a couple eating a part of it, try avoiding it, as the other part may have sedatives (this may be so that they may loot your belongings when you become unconscious). You can politely say no with a smile; they won't take it personally. While travelling in public transport (trains, buses) do not accept any food or drink from any local fellow passenger even if they are very friendly or polite. There have been instances in which very friendly fellow passengers offered food or drinks including tea or coffee that contained substances that put the victim to sleep whilst all their possessions, including even their clothing, were stolen. Visitors should not trust strangers offering assistance or services; see [[Common scams]]. Be particularly wary of frauds at tourist attractions such as the temples of [[Kanchipuram]], where they prey on those unfamiliar with local and religious customs. If a priest or guide offers to treat you to a religious ceremony, find out what it will cost you first, and do not allow yourself to be pressured into making "donations" of thousands of rupees &mdash; simply walk away if you feel uncomfortable. However, don't get ''too'' paranoid: foreigners on the train, or Indian families who want to take your picture on ''their own'' camera, for example, are often just genuinely curious. Same-sex intercourse was decriminalised by a court ruling in 2018. There is a vibrant gay nightlife in metropolitan areas and some (but very few) openly gay celebrities. On the other hand, the law was used as a tool by policemen to harass gays cruising on the streets. You will often see Indian men walking hand-in-hand in the streets, but this is a sign of friendship, not homosexuality. Whereas Indian men can be really eager to talk to foreigners, women in India often refrain from contact with men. It is an unfortunate fact that if you are a man and you approach a woman in India for even an innocuous purpose like asking for directions, you are putting her on the defensive usually, especially the ones dressed traditionally. It is better to ask a man if one is available (there usually will be), or be extra respectful if you are asking a woman. Black people may encounter prejudices from the police and the general public about being drug dealers. This reaction stems from the fact that more often than not, foreign-born drug peddlers in India are of Nigerian nationality. Indians find it hard to differentiate between Nigerians and other Africans, others of African descent or even their own Siddi (Indians of sub-Saharan African descent) community, and this behaviour is towards the whole race and not just to any specific country. That said, this behaviour is still considered publicly unacceptable when Indians are confronted by Indians themselves. It is hence wise to keep passports handy at all times, avoid going to areas notorious for illegal activities and maintain contact with respective embassies and, if possible, with other support groups that can vouch for you. The cow is considered to be a holy animal in Hinduism, and in many Indian states, it is '''illegal''' to consume or possess beef or buffalo meat. Non-Hindus suspected of slaughtering cattle or eating beef are also known to have been lynched by fundamentalist Hindu mobs. Prominent exceptions to this taboo are the state of Kerala and the northeastern parts of the country, where the meat of water buffaloes is widely consumed. Beef continues to be rare. ===Driving=== [[File:Crashed Taxi - Multiple Car Accident - Rabindra Sadan Area - Kolkata 2012-06-13 01323.jpg|thumb|A car crash in Kolkata]] As a former British colony, India drives on the '''left''' side of the road. Driving in India can be dangerous. Irresponsible driving habits, insufficient highway infrastructure development, wandering livestock and other hazards make travelling on the country's roads a sometimes nerve-wracking undertaking. More than 150,000 people died on Indian roads in 2019, the highest figure in the world, and that's despite having only 44 cars per 1,000 people. The first encounter with a typical Indian highway will no doubt feature a traffic mix of lumbering trucks, speeding maniacs, blithely wandering cows and suicidal pedestrians, all weaving across a narrow, potholed strip of tarmac. To minimise your risk of becoming a grim statistic, use trains instead of buses, use government bus services instead of private ones (which are more likely to force their drivers into inhuman shifts), use taxis instead of auto-rickshaws, avoid travelling at night, and don't hesitate to change taxis or cars if you feel your driver is unsafe. Of significant concern is that much of the road network is significantly underdeveloped. Most roads are very poorly built and they are full of rubble, large cracks and potholes. Most road signs are not very reliable in the country, and in most cases provide drivers with confusing or inaccurate information. If you are in doubt, ask the locals, normally they are very helpful and willingly provide people with appropriate guidance to a location. Of course, the quality of information and willingness to provide it varies, especially in the larger cities. ===Female travellers=== [[File:Busy Indore night traffic (5104223286).jpg|thumb|Night in [[Indore]]]] India is a socially conservative country, and although some Western habits can be perceived as dishonourable for a woman in much of the country, India is coming out of its conservative image rather quickly, especially in big cities. By "conservative", this doesn't mean women are always suppressed because the world's only women-run market, the Ima Market ([[Manipuri phrasebook|Manipuri]]: Ima Keithel) in [[Imphal]], [[Manipur]], is a sign of women empowerment. People usually say "Asia's largest women market" but this 500-year-old market is the "World's only women-run market" and a matter of pride for the whole nation of the world. * White and/or East Asian females may receive some extra attention (usually in the form of stares) from the locals (particularly men) and in some cases, they may even want to take photographs with you. To a large extent, it's likely that the person who wants to take a photo with you or is staring at you has little to no contact with foreigners. This said it's still possible to encounter someone who may harass you. Don't be afraid to create a scene and don't feel the need to be polite; no Indian woman (or any woman for that matter) would put up with rotten behaviour like that. * Being overly friendly and appreciative to Indian men is often seen as a sign of romantic interest. If a man and a woman are seen together or talk to each other quite often, locals may assume that there's something going on between the man and the woman. Make it clear that you are friends or acquaintances; that will usually ward people off. * Outside of the larger cities, it is unusual for people of the opposite sex to touch each other in public. Even couples (married or otherwise) refrain from public displays of affection. Therefore, it is advised that you do not shake hands with a person of the opposite sex unless the other person extends his/her hand first. The greeting by a Hindu is to bring their palms together in front of their chest, or simply saying '''namaste''' or '''namaskar''' or '''namaskaram''' in most Indic languages (Indo-Aryan and Dravidian) and '''khurumjari''' in [[Meitei phrasebook|Meitei]] ([[Manipuri phrasebook|Manipuri]]). Both forms are equally polite and correct if a little formal. Almost all people (even if they don't know English) do understand a "hi" or a "Hello". In most parts of northern India and cities, it is quite acceptable to offer a "hello" or "good day" followed by a handshake, regardless of gender. * Outside of trendy places or high society, women generally do not smoke. In some rural or tribal areas women do smoke, but discreetly. * Places such as discos and dance clubs are less conservative areas. It is good to leave your things at a hotel and head down there for a drink and some light conversation. Only carry as much change as you think you would require since losing your wallet or passport means that you will waste a considerable time trying to get help. * People are generally modestly clothed even at the beaches, so be sure to find out what the appropriate attire is for the beach you are visiting. In tourist-oriented places like Goa, where beachgoers are predominantly foreigners, it is permissible to wear bikinis on the beach. However, it is still offensive to walk around in them elsewhere. There are a few beaches where women (mostly foreigners) sunbathe topless, but make sure that it is safe and accepted before you do so. * It's not so safe to walk in isolated places if you are a solo female. Especially at night, avoid walking on streets or lanes without many people and be cautious when taking a taxi or auto-rickshaw at night. Avoid clothes such as tight shorts, a miniskirt, sports bra, tank-top or other clothes which expose a lot of skin, as they can attract unwanted attention. There have been some rapes of foreign women and highly publicised rapes of Indian women, some of whom have been murdered. India has been characterised as one of the "countries with the lowest per capita rates of rape" but a large number of rapes go unreported. The willingness to report rape has increased after several incidents received widespread media attention and triggered the widespread public protest. The Indian government of India has also reformed its penal code in relation to crimes of rape and sexual assault. * In local and suburban trains, there are usually cars reserved only for women and designated as such on their front. In Delhi Metro trains, it is the first compartment. * In most buses (private and public) a few seats at the front or at one side of the bus are reserved for women. Usually, these seats will be occupied by men and, very often, they vacate the place when a female stands near gesturing her intention to sit there. In many parts of the country, women will not share a seat with a man other than her spouse. If you sit near a man, he may stand up from the seat and give his seat also to you; this is a sign of respect, ''not'' rudeness. * Street parties for holidays are usually filled with crowds of inebriated men. During festivals such as Holi, New Year's Eve, and even Christmas Eve, women can be subjected to groping and sexually aggressive behaviour from a certain section hiding in these crowds. In such an event, just scream or make a scene pointing your finger at the person. People will come to your help. It may be less advisable for women to attend these festivities alone. *So-called Eve teasing is a common term used in Indian English to refer to anything from unwanted verbal advances to physical sexual assault. Anything overt should be treated in a firm manner and if needed, ask the local populace (women in particular) to try and get the message across. Avoid confrontation if at all possible. Sticking to such an area is not recommended. It's not disrespectful for a woman to tell a man eager to talk to her that she doesn't want to talk: so if a man's behaviour makes you uncomfortable, say so firmly. If he doesn't seem to get the hint, quietly excusing yourself is a better answer than confrontation. *Befriending Indian women can be a wonderful experience for female visitors, although you might have to initiate conversation. An easy topic to get things going is to talk about clothes or food. * Dressing in traditional Indian clothes, such as ''salwaar kameez'' (comfortable) or ''saree'' (more formal and difficult to wear) will often garner Western women more respect in the eyes of locals. The idea is to portray yourself as a normal person, instead of a distanced tourist. Easy clothing is to wear a kurta paired up with jeans or a salwar. They are very comfortable and most of the women do the same. * Body searches (such as at the airport) by officers of the opposite sex are not allowed in India. [[File:India - Varanasi policemen - 0691.jpg|thumb|Police officers in Varanasi]] ===Police and other emergency services=== * Like other federal countries, law enforcement is dealt with by various agencies in India: ** General policing is responsible for the states and union territories, under various state and union territory police forces. ** Large cities like [[Mumbai]] or [[Bangalore]] may also have their own police departments, often operating independently from state police forces. ** The Central government also maintain federal law-enforcement agencies responsible for specific duties, such as railway policing, transport security and border patrol. * Unfortunately, corruption and inefficiency are present in all Indian police forces, and the quality of the police force varies by officer. For emergencies, throughout most of India, you can dial '''100''' for police assistance. Try to speak the words slowly so that the police officer on phone does not have a problem in comprehending your foreign English accent. For non-emergency crimes, go down to the police station to report them, and insist on getting a receipt of your complaint. * You should insist the police to make a '''first information report''' (FIR) and receive a copy of it if you are reporting any serious crimes, as it is a legal requirement for them to do so. The police will only start the investigation after the FIR is made. * The emergency contact numbers for most of India are: 100 (Police), 101 (Fire and rescue), and 102 (Emergency medical service). Dialling to neighbouring major hospitals may also work in case of medical emergencies. In Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Kochi and several other cities throughout India, you can dial '''108''' for all emergencies. ===Terrorism=== The India-Pakistan conflict, simmering for decades, has manifested in terrorist attacks on India's main cities: since 2007, there have been bombings in Delhi, Mumbai and other big cities. The targets have varied widely, but attacks have usually been aimed at locals rather than visitors. The exception was in 2008, when a shooting spree targeted and killed many foreigners along with Indians, in Mumbai's posh hotels and railway station, etc. All the terrorists involved in this were from Pakistan and were killed in action except one who was captured alive and later hanged. There is little you can do to avoid such random attacks, but keep an eye on the national news and any travel advisories from your embassy. ==Stay healthy== {{infobox|Avoiding Delhi belly|Four quick tips for keeping your stomach happy: * '''Go vegetarian''', at least for the first week or two. Meat spoils quickly. * '''Avoid raw leafy vegetables'''. They are hard to clean properly. * '''Avoid ice and unbottled water'''. Both the water in it and the way it's transported are suspect. Try to use only commercially available sealed bottled water. * '''Wash hands before eating''', with soap or hand sanitisers. Otherwise the dirt of India's streets will find its way onto your ''chapatis'' and into your mouth. In addition, keep nails cut short and clean. }} Going to India, you have to adapt to a different climate and food. However, with precautions the chance and severity of any illness can be minimised. Don't stress yourself too much at the beginning of your journey to allow your body to acclimatise to the country. For example, take a day of rest upon arrival, at least on your first visit. Many travellers get ill for wanting to do too much in too little time. Be careful with spicy food if it is not your daily diet. '''[[Tap water]]''' is normally not safe for drinking. However, some establishments have water filters/purifiers installed, in which case the water should be safe to drink from them. Packed drinking water (popularly called "mineral water" throughout India) is a better choice. Bisleri, Kinley, Aquafina and Health Plus are popular and safe brands. But if the seal has been tampered with, or if the bottle seems crushed, it could be tap water being illegally sold. So always make sure that seal is intact before buying. In Indian Railway stations, a low-priced mineral water brand of Indian Railways is generally available, known as "Rail Neer". Fruits that can be peeled such as apples and bananas, as well as packaged snacks, are always a safe option. Wash any fruit with uncontaminated water before eating it. [[File:Force Traveller Kuoni ambulance, 2008.JPG|thumb|An ambulance in India]] No '''vaccinations''' are required for entry to India, except for yellow fever if you are coming from an infected area such as [[Africa]]. However, Hepatitis (both A and B, depending on your individual circumstances), meningitis and typhoid shots are recommended, as is a booster shot for tetanus. '''[[Diarrhea|Diarrhoea]]''' is common, and can have many different causes. Bring a standard first-aid kit, plus extra over-the-counter medicine for diarrhoea and stomach upset. A rehydration kit can also be helpful. In case you run out and cannot get the re-hydration solution widely available at pharmacies, remember the salt/sugar/water ratio for oral rehydration: 1 tsp salt, 8 tsp sugar, for 1 litre of water. Indians have resistance to native bacteria and parasites that visitors do not have. If you have had serious diarrhoea for more than a day or two, it is best to visit a private hospital. Parasites such as Giardia are a common cause of diarrhoea, and may not get better without treatment. '''[[Malaria]]''' is endemic throughout India. [http://www.cdc.gov/travel/regionalmalaria/indianrg.htm CDC] states that risk exists in all areas, including the cities of Delhi and Mumbai, and at altitudes of less than 2000 metres in [[Himachal Pradesh]], [[Jammu and Kashmir]] and [[Sikkim]]; however, the risk of infection is considered low in Delhi and the [[Plains (India)|Plains]]. Get expert advice on malaria preventatives, and take adequate precautions to prevent [[mosquito]] bites. Use a mosquito repellent when going outside (particularly during the evenings) and also when sleeping in trains and hotels without air conditioning. A local mosquito repellent used by Indians is Odomos which is available over-the-counter at most medical stores. '''Litter''' can be a problem in some cities in India. Many efforts have been made in the 21st century to clean up the country but there is still a long way to go because most people use the many waterways as garbage dumps. It would be unwise to swim in most of the rivers and downright senseless in a lake. If you have asthma, carry enough supplies as dust, pollen or pollution may cause some trouble to your breathing. It is very important to stay away from the many stray dogs and cats in India, as India has the highest rate of '''rabies''' in the world. If you are bitten it is extremely urgent to get to a hospital in a major urban area capable of dealing with rabies. You can get treatment at any major hospital. It is very important to get the rabies vaccine after any contact with animals that includes contact with saliva or blood. Rabies vaccines only work if the full course is given '''prior''' to symptoms. The disease is almost invariably fatal otherwise. If you venture to forests in India, you may encounter venomous snakes. If bitten, try to note the markings of the snake so that the snake can be identified and the correct antidote given. In any event, immediately seek medical care. ===Healthcare=== Medical care in India is generally of good quality. Virtually all Indian doctors speak English fluently and are highly qualified at their jobs. Public hospitals tend to be unsanitary, overcrowded, understaffed and underequipped. Private hospitals, on the other hand, are usually of an excellent standard and among the best in the world, making India a popular destination for medical tourism. The downside is that they are generally much more expensive than public hospitals, though still reasonably priced by Western standards. Many private hospitals accept international health insurance; check with the hospital before you go. One may also consider availing of the services of a private clinic. Private medical practices are common throughout the country and are readily more accessible than hospitals. There are a few travel clinics in India, that can be checked out by visiting the [http://www.istm.org ISTM] website in the larger cities. Most CDC-recommended vaccinations are available in many of these [http://www.travelsafeclinic.com travel health clinics] in larger cities. Large corporate hospital chains like Fortis, Max, Apollo and similar places are your best bet for emergency medical care in larger cities, and they have better hygiene and generally well-trained doctors, some from UK and US institutions. ==Respect== {{infobox|Kissing in India|India can trace kissing back thousands of years in its literature. Indeed, the well-known ''Kama Sutra'' has an entire chapter devoted to kissing. However, in most cultures of the Subcontinent, kissing has traditionally been people have been surprised to get into serious trouble for kissing in public, regardless of the nature of their relationship or marriage or their nationality. Opposition to public kissing is not a universal opinion in India; many Indians find kissing acceptable, but because of those who don't, it is best to avoid kissing (even on cheeks) in public while you are there. None of this applies to parents and children kissing each other, though; that's universally acceptable in India.}} ===Etiquette=== <!--[[File:Kamya Panjabi at Disney princess' promotion in Mumbai.jpg|thumb|In bigger Indian cities, wearing of shorts by women is generally accepted. Picture shows an Indian woman with her daughter in [[Mumbai]].]] this image violates the image policy as watermarks are not allowed--> * Indians, by and large, are neutral communicators. Although Indians try to be respectful and courteous in social situations, words are often taken at face value. It's important to be explicitly clear and upfront about what you intend to say as euphemisms, idiomatic language, and the like may be misunderstood. *Direct personal questions (based on your personal life, salary, education, and lifestyle) are commonly asked. To Indians, it's not considered impolite, but rather it's a way to get to know someone fully. In some cases, you may find others giving you advice on whatever it is you're doing, either warranted or unwarranted. Don't feel annoyed or irritated by this as Indians don't intend to patronise or pull you down in any way. If you feel the question was too personal, simply give an indirect answer and move along. *English is an official language of India. To most Indians, it is a second language, and among a few, it is the first language. Making condescending statements such as "You speak very good English" can be met with offence. *'''Indians respect their elders''' and it would be seen as rude to directly challenge a statement said by someone older than you. You should always try to address people you don't know as 'ma'am' or 'sir', especially if they're older than you, and always act in a mature, sensible fashion around them. *Family values are highly revered by many Indians. Passing unwarranted comments about someone's family life won't win you friends or praise. *Indian women generally dress conservatively, although in metropolitan cities more liberal attire can be seen. Women may attract unwanted attention from men depending on how they're dressed. * It is better to avoid going out on the roads alone, especially in remote places or lanes and by-lanes without many people at night. Keeping some company is always advisable. * Indians will consider themselves obliged to go out of the way to fulfill a guest's request and will insist very strongly that it is no inconvenience to do so, even if it is not true. This of course means that there is a reciprocal obligation on you as a guest to take extra care not to be a burden. * Most Indians are not aware that the term "Negro" is considered offensive in some other parts of the world, and they may use it with no intent to offend. * Note dietary restrictions when inviting Indian friends for a meal. Pork is forbidden to Muslims, while beef is forbidden to followers of most of India's other religions (e.g. Hinduism), though in some states, like Kerala, beef is consumed liberally by Christians and Muslims. Also about 30% of Indians are vegetarian. it is better to ask people what they don't eat beforehand. * It is customary to put up a token '''friendly argument''' with your host or any other member of the group when paying bills at restaurant or while making purchases. The etiquette for this is somewhat complicated. ** In a '''business lunch or dinner''', it is usually clear upfront who is supposed to pay, and there is no need to fight. But if you are someone's personal guest and they take you out to a restaurant, you should offer to pay anyway, and you should insist a lot. Sometimes these fights get a little funny, with each side trying to snatch the bill away from the other, all the time laughing politely. If you don't have experience in these things, chances are, you will lose the chance the first time, but in that case, make sure that you pay the next time. (and try to make sure that there is a next time.) Unless the bill amount is very large do not offer to share it, and only as a second resort after they have refused to let you pay it all. ** The same rule applies when you are making a purchase. If you are purchasing something for yourself, your hosts might still offer to pay for it if the amount is not very high, and sometimes, even if it is. In this situation, unless the amount is very low, you should never lose the fight. (If the amount is ridiculously low, say less than ₹10, then don't insult your hosts by putting up a fight.) Even if by chance you lose the fight to pay the shopkeeper, it is customary to practically thrust (in a nice way, of course) the money into your host's hands. ** These rules do not apply if the host has made it clear beforehand that it is his or her treat, especially for some specific occasion. {{infobox|Naming conventions |* Most Indians follow the naming convention of a given name followed by a family name. <br /> * '''Tamil''' names, however are an exception to this rule. Tamil names generally follow the convention of given name + father's name, or father's initial + given name. Therefore, someone called Ramasamy Govindasamy would have Ramasamy as his given name, with Govindasamy being his father's name. Alternatively, he might be known as G. Ramasamy. Due to the patronymic nature of the last names, first names are always used when addressing individuals, so the above person would be addressed as Mr Ramasamy.<br /> *'''Meitei''' names are also exception to the general rules of naming in India. Meitei names generally follow the convention of family name + given name + name of the respective "salai". Salai means clan and it is different from family. There are 7 salais in Meitei ethnicity (Manipuri ethnicity). Each salai has many families within it. So, salai is just like a group or aggregation of many families. For instance, a person named "Albert" belongs to the "Oinam" family of the "Khuman" salai. Then, his name will be like this: "Oinam Albert Khuman". In Meitei nomenclature, father's names are not used.<br /> *The foolproof method, therefore, is to ''ask'' how the person would like to be addressed.}} ===Religious etiquette=== As India has great diversity, people follow different religions. Hinduism is followed by a majority of the people. ==== General rules ==== * When visiting temples and mosques, '''it is obligatory to take off your shoes'''. The same custom applies to visiting someone's home. * Christians are a minority in India, but going to church and following your faith are always appreciated. There are different denominations and they differ a bit in their practices. * '''It is disrespectful to touch people with your feet'''. If done accidentally, you will find that Indians will make a quick gesture of apology that involves touching the offended person with the right hand, and then moving the hand to the chest and to the eyes. It is a good idea to emulate that. * The head is considered to be the holiest part of the body, '''so avoid touching people on the head''', including young children, as this is very offensive to Hindus. * '''Books and written materials are treated with respect''', as they are treated as concrete/physical forms of the Hindu goddess of knowledge, Saraswati. Never touch a book/written material with your feet. * '''Anything associated with wealth is treated with respect''' as it is treated as concrete/physical forms of Hindu goddess of wealth, Lakshmi. * '''The swastika is a common symbol in India'''. It is also fairly common for Indian parents to name their daughters "Swastika". There is no connection of this symbol to the Nazis. Jewish people have lived in India for thousands of years and have never faced any antisemitism. '''Drawing parallels between the Swastika and Nazism will not be appreciated'''. === Things to avoid === ==== Politics: ==== * '''Indians, in general, are ardently political''', and politics is a very popular conversational subject amongst many Indians, including the older generation. Many Indians have a breadth of political opinions, including that of their own country. As a visitor, you'll be exposed to a breadth of political opinions both publicly and privately, even though most Indians often express frustration with the government. This said though, you could immediately be seen as uninformed if you do not follow Indian news closely. Don't hesitate to engage in political discussions, but it's worth mentioning that being a visitor puts you in a delicate position. * '''Do not mention or have a discussion about the Kashmir conflict'''. It's a highly emotional subject that can very quickly elicit strong reactions from Indian people. On a side note, the whole of Kashmir, including [[Azad Kashmir]] and [[Gilgit Baltistan]] (the two regions of Kashmir under Pakistani control), ''legally belongs'' to India according to the Jammu and Kashmir Instrument of Accession, which was signed during the first Indo-Pak war in the 1940s. Pakistan is the only country that objects to the document. Given the very sensitive nature of the conflict, many Indians express feelings of antipathy towards Pakistan. * '''Do not mention or have a discussion about [[Pakistan]]'''. You're unlikely to cause offence by having a discussion about the relationship between India and Pakistan, but attempting to compliment or say anything that could be perceived as positive about Pakistan can evoke a strong response from some Indians. Referring to someone as a "Pakistani" is often used as an insult in India. * '''Do not mention or have a discussion about [[China]]'''. The two countries have a tense and complicated relationship, mostly over territorial disputes on their Himalayan border. Some Chinese products are '''illegal''' to possess in India and the mere sight of Chinese products can evoke a strong response among some Indians. * The Partition of India is a sensitive issue. Whilst a few may convey bitterness against the British Empire, the vast majority of people do not have anything against people from the [[United Kingdom]], save those who lived through the horrors of the partition. The two countries enjoy a positive relationship, and it is not uncommon to find people who have relatives or friends living in the UK. That said, keep in mind that former British prime minister Winston Churchill is widely regarded as a villain in India due to his role in exacerbating the Bengal famine in 1943. ==== Religion: ==== * '''Be extremely careful when discussing religion'''. Many Indians have liberal, open-minded attitudes towards religion, although there are some who have rigid, radical viewpoints, and fundamentalist Hinduism has seen growing support the 21st century. It's not considered impolite to discuss your religious convictions with someone; for the most part, many Indians are open about talking about it. This said, '''do not impose your religious beliefs upon someone'''. Anything hinting at '''proselytisation''' is frowned upon in general and will not be appreciated. * Contrary to popular belief, '''India is not a vegetarian nation'''. Vegatarians are a minority in India, comprising 20-30% of the population. Jains, a staunchly vegetarian religious group, are 2-5% of the population. That said, some ardently religious groups and people often try to demonise non-vegetarianism. Many of the more well-aware Indians feel it is a part of a concerted attempt to codify a monolithic idea of Indian culture and are quite embarrassed by this all. These sentiments are more common in North India, but in other places, such as [[South India]] and [[North-East India]], people tend to be more liberal and accepting of other beliefs, and don't really mind as much. If visiting someone's house, it's always wise to ask if the person is a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian. '''Do not impose your meal preferences upon someone'''; it is frowned upon. * '''Atheism is not taboo''' in India. This said, you should be careful when discussing religion with those who have rigid, radical viewpoints; some atheists in India have been attacked by radical groups for openly criticising religion. === Other things to watch out for === * A lot of Indians tend to have a strong sense of '''ethnic pride''', as many Indian communities around the globe are noted for being well-established. If you have Indian roots, or if you were born and raised overseas, be careful with divulging your opinions on the country and the culture: some may expect you to follow the same norms and nuances like the rest of the populace, and may not take too kindly to your negative feedback. * Families tend to be close-knit. Tread '''very carefully''' if you have Indian roots, if you were born and raised overseas, or if you are in an intimate relationship with an Indian person: You're often expected to align your views with your/their family, and not doing so would result in you being shunned. Bear in mind that this phenomenon is common, so if this ever happens to you, remember that you're not alone. * '''Racial relations in India have historically been complex''', and you should exercise a degree of respect when discussing that. * Attitudes towards the LGBT community have been changing since the 2000s. In 2018, homosexuality (which was once punishable by life imprisonment) was decriminalised, and since then there have been strong political movements in favour of LGBT rights. While this may seem impressive, '''many Indians still have conservative opinions on homosexuality''' and do not fully understand it. Try not to reveal your sexuality in public as you may invite unwanted comments or stares. ==Connect== ===By phone=== The country code for India is '''+91'''. In acronym in India, area codes are called '''STD''' '''codes''' (Subscriber Trunk Dialing - national long distance) and international dialing is called '''ISD''' (International Subscriber Dialing - international long distance). Local phone numbers can be anywhere from 5-8 digits long. But when the STD code is included, all landline phone numbers in India are 10 digits long. Mobile phone numbers are always 10 digits long and usually start with '9', '8', '7' or '6'. The following table explains how to dial: {| class="wikitable" align="right" ! Calling from || Price || Syntax || Example |- | Same STD code || Local || align=right| ''number'' || align=right| 12345678 |- | Mobile phone || Local || align=right| ''STD code of the town you are in number'' || align=right| 011-12345678 |- | Mobile phone || STD to mobile phone|| align=right| ''number'' || align=right| 012345678 |- | Different STD code|| STD || align=right| '''0'''-''area code''-''number'' || align=right| 022-12345678 |- | Overseas || ISD || align=right| '''+91'''-''area code''-''number'' || align=right| +91-22-12345678 |} Toll-free numbers start with '''1-800''', but are usually ''operator-dependent'': you can't call a BSNL/MTNL toll-free number from an Airtel landline, and vice versa. Often, the numbers may not work from your cellular phone. Other National Numbers that start with '''18xx''' or '''19xx''' may attract special charges. To dial outside the country from India, prefix the country code with 00, e.g. a US number will be dialed as 00-1-555-555-5555. Calling the Canada/UK/US over the normal telephone line will cost you about ₹7.20 per minute. Calls to other countries, particularly to the Middle East, can be more expensive. Payphones, called '''public call offices''' or '''PCOs''' are now increasingly rare with the ubiquitous availability of mobile phones. Where they exist, they are usually staffed, and you dial yourself but pay to the attendant after the call is over. Metering is done per pulse and a service charge of ₹2 is added to the bill. Larger cities also have Western-style unmanned public phones, which are usually red in colour and accept one rupee coins. ====Mobile==== '''[https://www.airtel.in/ Airtel]''', '''[https://www.myvi.in/ Vodafone Idea]''', '''[https://www.jio.com/ Reliance JIO]''' and '''[https://www.bsnl.co.in/ BSNL]-MTNL''' are mobile service provider in India. Airtel, Vodafone, and JIO provide services to the whole of India. There is no extra cost for roaming across India. You can use call, data and SMS services everywhere. India to India maximum call rate is ₹1 per minute. You can buy 1GB (2G, 3G or 4G) data for less than ₹20. You can use 4G and 4G VoLTE services everywhere. The Jio and Airtel 4G (LTE and VoLTE) networks cover 95% of the population of India. You can buy a keypad mobile for ₹500. Touch mobiles retail from ₹4,000. '''You need a validity recharge to use your data, calls and SMS'''. If you don't have any validity (or unlimited) plan, you cannot use data, text, or make calls. Airtel and Vodafone Idea (VI) gives one-month validity for ₹49. Calling overseas can cost quite a bit and will depend on the location you're calling to. In contrast, the other way round (calling to India from elsewhere) is cheap. ==== Unlimited Recharge ==== All operators provide unlimited calls in all India. With an unlimited pack, you can talk unlimitedly anywhere in India. Unlimited plans start at ₹129 for 28 days. All operators have almost the same plans for all users. ===By internet=== Wi-Fi hotspots in India are, for the most part, limited. All airports and railway stations do offer free high speed Wi-Fi. Delhi, Bangalore, Pune and Mumbai are the only cities with decent Wi-Fi coverage. Many free Wi-Fi services will require entering a One time password (OTP) sent to an Indian cell phone number. As restrictions on internet use increase in India, many vendors refuse to sell SIM cards to foreigners (or anyone without local ID) which was not always the case: you may find an Indian resident or hotel employee willing to buy one under their name if suitably motivated. This might be the best option. To get a SIM card alone as a foreigner, you are suggested to visit the telecom operator's exclusive store. * '''Mobile internet''' is very cheap to obtain, especially with the proliferation of low-cost operator Reliance Jio, which has forced the mainstream operators such as Airtel and Vodafone Idea to follow suit. It is not hard to find reasonable deals (like 1 GB per day for a month) for ₹200 ($3) or so. 4G connectivity is available in most places, with 3G in some remote locations. If you use the train, you may occasionally find pocket regions where the internet drops to 2G or goes away completely. * '''Internet cafes''' are common and they charge as little as ₹10-20 per hour. Many will ask for your passport or ID. Beware of using your credit cards online as there have been many cases of credit cards thefts using ''keyloggers''. * '''Public libraries''' have PCs with broadband for public use. Most libraries require a membership but government-operated libraries only require a quick registration with the verification of your ID. Internet censorship in India is considered “selective”. There are occasional random, inexplicable and arbitrary attempts by the government to block some sites it considers as carrying hateful propaganda, but enforcement is spotty and the decisions are often forgotten after a few month of being made. The site which are blocked by the courts remain strictly blocked and is different from the vague blocks by the government. You are unlikely to find any useful site blocked. ===By mail=== [[File:India - Varanasi post office - 1584.jpg|thumb|A post office in Varanasi]] Addressing mail with a properly-formatted address will expedite its journey with government owned [https://www.indiapost.gov.in/VAS/Pages/IndiaPosthome.aspx India Post]. The PIN code (postal index number) is important, and you can look up PIN codes and correct address formats on India Post's website. A 6-digit PIN code identifies the post office of a district; a 4-digit Post box number (recommended but optional) may narrow this to one business or an individual building. Addresses should be written in three to four lines with the name of recipient, house number and suite or apartment or building number, street name, city or town, state name, PIN code, e.g.: <blockquote>United Nations House<br/>55/73 Lodhi Estate<br/>New Delhi, Delhi-110003</blockquote> First class mail travels by air within India. International first class mail has a maximum limit of 20kg. Prices vary from country to country. A full list related to the pricing can be found in [https://www.indiapost.gov.in/MBE/pages/content/international-air-parcels.aspx India Post's website]. All locations with a PIN code are considered domestic. Military mail is operated by the Army Postal Service through its APOs and FPOs. Domestic post can be made at an affordable rate of ₹15 ($0.40) per 50 grams. Private international carriers like FedEx, DHL and UPS also operate though all major cities. ==Cope== For immediate emergency assistance, you can call '''112'''.<br> The Ministry of Tourism has a 24X7 helpline for tourists in need.

For participating in sports, see [[Sports]].'' '''Watching sports''' is a popular pastime around the world, whether at a major international event such as the [[Olympic Games]] or, for example, a minor league football game. In the 21st century, sports is a multi-billion-dollar industry and part of this revolves about travel. Many combine their love of sport and travel to watch events overseas or in another part of the country. ==Understand== Sport stadiums can be designated for one sport, or host several different events. Major stadiums can change their name with a sponsor deal; in some cases they even change name during a specific event. Be sure to find out which stadium you are going to. ==Articles about watching sports== <div style="{{column-width|25em}}"> * [[American football]] * [[Association football]] ** [[Association football in Europe]] * [[Australian rules football]] * [[Baseball in the United States]] * [[Basketball in North America]] * [[Boxing]] * [[Cricket]] * [[Field hockey]] * [[Formula One]] * [[Golf]] * [[Handball in Europe]] * [[Horse racing]] * [[Ice hockey in Europe]] * [[Ice hockey in North America]] * [[Martial arts]] * [[Motorcycle speedway]] * [[Olympic Games]] * [[Rugby football]] </div> ==Events with multiple sports== ===Asian Games=== * '''2022''': 10–25 September, [[Hangzhou]], [[China]] * '''2026''': 19 September–4 October, [[Nagoya]], [[Japan]] ===Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games=== ===Bolivarian Games=== * '''2024''': [[Ayacucho]], [[Peru]] ===Commonwealth Games=== * '''2022''': 27 July–7 August, [[Birmingham (England)|Birmingham]], [[England]] * '''2026''': [[Victoria (state)|Victoria]], [[Australia]] (spread among the cities of [[Melbourne]], [[Geelong]], [[Bendigo]], [[Ballarat]] and [[Gippsland]]]) ===European Games=== * '''2023''': Dates TBA, [[Kraków]], [[Poland]] ===Jeux de la Francophonie=== *'''2023''': [[Kinshasa]], [[Democratic Republic of the Congo]] <!-- ===Mediterranean Games=== --> ===Olympic Games=== * [[Paris 2024|'''2024''': Summer Olympics]], 2-18 Aug, [[Paris]], [[France]] * [[Milan–Cortina 2026|'''2026''': Winter Olympics]], dates TBA, [[Milan]] and [[Cortina d'Ampezzo|Cortina]], [[Italy]] * [[Los Angeles 2028|'''2028''': Summer Olympics]], 21 Jul - 6 Aug, [[Los Angeles]], [[United States of America|USA]] * [[Brisbane 2032|'''2032''': Summer Olympics]], 23 Jul - 8 Aug, [[Brisbane]], [[Australia]] <!-- ====Youth Olympic Games==== ===Pacific Games=== --> ===Pan American Games=== * '''2023''': 20 October – 5 November, [[Santiago de Chile|Santiago]], [[Chile]] ===Southeast Asian Games=== * '''2021''': 12—23 May 2022, [[Hanoi]], Vietnam (postponed to 2022 because of COVID) * '''2023''': 5—16 May, [[Phnom Penh]], Cambodia * '''2025''': 7-19 December, [[Bangkok]], Thailand <!-- ===Student Games=== --> ===World Games=== Held every four years in the year after the next summer Olympic Games.

Despite good attendance, the league did not return until the 2016 season, the first of what was meant to be a three-year deal to hold one game each season in that country. With both the 2016 and 2017 games selling out, the deal was extended through the 2021 season with an eye to possibly play more than one game per season in future years. All Mexico games thus far have been held in Estadio Azteca in [[Mexico City]], as will the 2022 game. The next Mexico City game will pit the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals on November 21. ======NFL games in Germany====== In February 2022, the NFL announced a four-year agreement to expand the NFL International Series in Germany.

The Division I women's tournament draws considerably less interest, but is still the biggest event in American women's college sports. The men's tournament begins on the Tuesday preceding the third Thursday in March (in terms of dates, no earlier than March 13 and no later than March 19) in [[Dayton|Dayton, Ohio]] with an eight-team round marketed as the First Four, featuring two games on Tuesday and two on Wednesday. The winners of these four games join the remaining 60 tournament teams for the first round, which starts on the third Thursday in March. The women's tournament expanded from 64 teams to 68 starting in 2022, with its own First Four; it starts the day after the men's tournament. The four-team final rounds of these tournaments are known as the Final Four.

The term "stock car" is a historic reference; when NASCAR first organized races in the years immediately after World War II, the cars were in fact "stock"—exactly as purchased from dealers, with minimal safety-related changes. Over time, the cars changed to the point that they are only vaguely similar in external appearance to current street vehicles, with much more powerful engines and far more safety equipment. NASCAR now operates three national touring series: * Cup Series, the top series * Xfinity Series, the second level * Camping World Truck Series, the third level, which races pickup trucks instead of cars; usually called simply the "Truck Series" Most races are held on oval tracks. For many years, no more than one or two Cup Series races were held on road courses, but since 2021 that number has gone up to six. Five Xfinity Series races and three Truck Series are also held on road courses. One of the two 2022 weekends at Bristol Motor Speedway in East Tennessee saw the paved oval covered by dirt, with all three series racing on that surface (the fall race weekend uses the normal paved track). Before COVID-19, the Truck Series held one race in Canada, but border restrictions have led to that date being transferred south of the border. The sport used to be centered in the Southeastern U.S., but beginning in the 1990s it expanded to become a national spectacle. A typical NASCAR event spans a long weekend, with two or even all three series holding races at one site. Unlike most sports, NASCAR's biggest event is the ''first'' race of the season: * '''Daytona 500''', held on the day before the Presidents Day holiday (which falls on the third Monday of February) at Daytona International Speedway in [[Daytona Beach]], [[Florida]] ====IndyCar==== A U.S.-based open-wheel racing series. It was established in its current form in 2008, when the IndyCar Series (launched in 1996) merged with the former Champcars series. The merger is a story in itself—as late as the early 1990s, open-wheel racing, governed by a body known as CART (which later became Champcars), was the most popular form of motorsport in the U.S. However, in 1994, the owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home to the series' marquee event, the Indianapolis 500, had a bitter falling-out with CART, leading to the creation of the competing IndyCar series (which took the Indy 500 with it). The feud led many former open-wheel fans to abandon the sport, often for NASCAR. By the time the feud ended, attendance and sponsorship money for the sport were a fraction of what they had been only 15 years earlier, and only in the late 2010s had it begun to recover some of its original prominence. All of the series' races are held in the U.S. except for one on a street course in [[Toronto]]. The tracks are a mixture of ovals, road courses, and street circuits. The series' marquee event, as mentioned above, is: * '''Indianapolis 500''', held the day before the U.S. holiday of Memorial Day (which falls on the last Monday of May) at the [[Indianapolis]] Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana (a community completely surrounded by the city of Indianapolis) ==== Motorcycle speedway ==== Motorcycle speedway is a sport where lightweight motorcycles race each other on an oval-shaped track. It is most popular in [[Poland]] but also has a major presence in [[Australia]], [[Britain]], and [[Sweden]]. ===== Important events ===== *'''Speedway Grand Prix''', held annually in the Northern Hemisphere's late spring, summer, and early fall. *'''Speedway of Nations''', held annually in the Northern Hemisphere's summer (usually June or July). ===Rugby=== ''see also'' [[Rugby football]] ====Rugby union==== * 2023 '''Six Nations Championship''', 4 February–18 March: ** [[Cardiff]], Principality Stadium (Millennium Stadium) ** [[Dublin]], Aviva Stadium ** [[Edinburgh]], BT Murrayfield ** [[London]], Twickenham Stadium ** [[Rome]], Stadio Olimpico ** [[Saint-Denis (Île-de-France)|Saint-Denis]] ([[Paris]]), Stade de France * 2022 '''Rugby Championship''', various locations in [[Argentina]], [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]], and [[South Africa]].

The '''World Rugby Women's Sevens Series''' is a series of eight tournaments. Events in both series will be listed here, with joint events indicated. ** '''USA Women's Sevens''' – The opener of the world sevens season; held in early October at Infinity Park in the [[Denver]] suburb of Glendale, Colorado. ** '''[[Dubai]] Sevens''' – Traditionally the men's season opener, and now the first of six combined men's and women's events. Held on the weekend including the first Saturday in December at a stadium known as The Sevens. ** '''South Africa Sevens''' – Held on the weekend after the Dubai Sevens at [[Cape Town]] Stadium. ** '''New Zealand Sevens''' – Held in the last weekend of January at FMG Stadium Waikato (Waikato Stadium) in [[Hamilton (New Zealand)|Hamilton]]. ** '''Australian Sevens''' – A joint event for the last several years, held in the first weekend of February (immediately following the New Zealand event) at Bankwest Stadium (Western [[Sydney]] Stadium) in [[Sydney/Parramatta|Parramatta]]. ** '''USA Sevens''' – A men-only event held in the weekend ending with the first Sunday of March at Dignity Health Sports Park in the [[Los Angeles]] suburb of [[Carson|Carson, California]]. ** '''Canada Sevens''' – A men-only event held on the weekend after the USA Sevens at BC Place in [[Vancouver/Yaletown-False Creek|downtown]] [[Vancouver]]. ** '''[[Hong Kong]] Sevens''' – The most famous men's event.

The top-level men's tour is the ATP Tour, with the WTA Tour as the women's counterpart. The men's and women's tours come together for the four '''Grand Slam''' events and a few other select tournaments throughout the year. The only players to have ever completed the grand slam are Don Budge (1938) and Rod Laver (1962 & 1969) in the men's event, and Maureen Connolly (1953), Margaret Court (1965) and Steffi Graf (1988) in the women's event. In addition to these, the '''Davis Cup''' (men) and '''Billie Jean King Cup''' (women) are the top events for national teams; these operate as multi-level leagues. The top levels (now known as the "Finals" in both events) were traditionally conducted as knockout tournaments, but now use a format similar to that of the FIFA World Cup, with all qualifying nations meeting at a single site for a group stage followed by a knockout stage. A player who wins all four grand slams and the Olympic gold medal in the same calendar year is said to have completed a '''golden slam''', and the only player to have done so to date was Germany's Steffi Graf in 1988. (The doubles partnership of American identical twins Bob and Mike Bryan, aka the Bryan Brothers, won all of the required events consecutively, but their streak started with the 2012 Olympics, thus spanning two calendar years.) ====Grand Slam events==== All four of these events are held over two weeks. They are considered to be the pinnacle of the sport of tennis, and are even more prestigious than the Olympics. * '''Australian Open''': Ends on the last Sunday in January at [[Melbourne]] Park just outside the city centre. Frequently suffers from hot and humid weather in the southern summer, although this has been alleviated by retractable roofs on the three main courts. The final is held in the Rod Laver Arena, which is named after Rod Laver, the only player to have completed a grand slam twice, and the last man to achieve the feat when he did so in 1969. * '''French Open''' (also known as ''Roland Garros''): Held in late May and early June at ''Stade Roland Garros'' in the Bois de Boulogne in the [[Paris/16th arrondissement|16th arondissement]] of [[Paris]]. Most notable as the only Grand Slam event still held on clay courts. * '''Wimbledon''': Begins on the first Monday in July and ends on the second Sunday following at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in the Wimbledon neighbourhood of southwest [[London]]. Notable for being the only Grand Slam event held on grass courts, requiring all players to dress only in white, and many other traditions. The most prestigious of the Grand Slams. * '''US Open''': Begins on the last Monday in August and ends on the Sunday after the US holiday of Labor Day, celebrated on the first Monday of September. Held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in the northern part of the [[New York City]] borough of [[Queens]]. ====Season-ending championships==== Both the ATP and WTA have season-ending events for the very top players, with eight players qualifying for the finals in singles and eight teams in doubles. The competitors are divided into two groups of four, each playing a round-robin within the group. The top two finishers in each group advance to the semifinals, with the winners of each semifinal contesting the final. * '''ATP Finals''': Mid-November at The O₂ Arena in London. * '''WTA Finals''': Late October–early November at the [[Shenzhen]] Bay Sports Center (aka the "Spring Cocoon") in the [[Shenzhen/Nanshan|Nanshan]] district of Shenzhen, China (bordering on Hong Kong). Unique to the WTA Tour is a second season-ending event for players immediately below those who qualify for the WTA Finals, featuring 12 players in singles and 12 doubles teams. In singles, the players are divided into groups of three, each playing a round-robin within the group; the winners of each group advance to the semifinals. In doubles, each group consists of six teams, also with round-robin play within the group, with the group winners advancing to the final. In terms of ranking points, this event falls in the middle of the WTA Premier hierarchy (see below). * '''WTA Elite Trophy''': Immediately before the WTA Finals in late October. ====Other top-tier events==== Both the ATP and WTA have a multi-level hierarchy of events, with the Grand Slam at the top, followed by the season-ending championships and then the events shown here (with other levels below these in both cases). The two tours have differing terminology for this level: * ATP: Nine events known as the "ATP Tour Masters 1000". All top players are required to enter these events (barring injury or other misfortune), with the exception of the Monte-Carlo Masters. * WTA: The "WTA 1000" was established in 2021 by the merger of the former "Premier Mandatory" and "Premier 5" events. However, the former split between those two categories is still maintained, with only the four former "Premier Mandatory" events requiring that top players enter. * Olympics: The tennis event at the Olympics is less prestigious than the Grand Slams, and many top players choose to skip it, while those who compete often do not take it seriously and lose to little-known lower-ranked opponents. That said, players who win all four Grand Slams and the Olympic gold medal in the same calendar year are said to have completed a golden slam, which is an extremely rare and difficult feat; only one player has managed to do so to date. With that in mind, here are the ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 events: * '''[[Qatar]] Ladies Open''': Mid-February at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex in [[Doha]]. ''Non-mandatory; alternates yearly with Dubai between WTA 1000 and lower-level WTA 500 status.'' * '''[[Dubai]] Tennis Championships''': Late February at the Aviation Club Tennis Centre. ''Non-mandatory; alternates yearly with Qatar between WTA 1000 and lower-level WTA 500 status.'' * '''Indian Wells Masters''' (men) and '''Indian Wells Open''' (women): Early March in [[Indian Wells]], California (near Palm Springs). ''ATP Masters 1000 and mandatory WTA 1000.'' * '''Miami Open''': Late March–early April at Hard Rock Stadium in [[Miami Gardens]], Florida (north of the city of Miami). ''ATP Masters 1000 and mandatory WTA 1000.'' * '''Monte-Carlo Masters''': Mid-April at Monte Carlo Country Club in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France, next to Monaco. ''ATP Masters 1000.'' * '''[[Madrid]] Open''': Mid-May at Caja Mágica in Madrid. ''ATP Masters 1000 and mandatory WTA 1000.'' * '''Italian Open''': Week following the Madrid Open at Foro Italico in Rome. ''ATP Masters 1000 and non-mandatory WTA 1000.'' * '''Canadian Open''': Early August at Stade IGA in Montreal and Aviva Centre in Toronto. In odd-numbered years, the men play in Montreal and the women in Toronto, and vice versa in even-numbered years. ''ATP Masters 1000 and non-mandatory WTA 1000.'' * '''Cincinnati Masters''' (men) and '''Cincinnati Open''' (women): Week after the Canadian Open at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in [[Mason (Ohio)|Mason, Ohio]], northeast of [[Cincinnati]]. ''ATP Masters 1000 and non-mandatory WTA 1000.'' * '''[[Wuhan]] Open''': Last week of September at Optics Valley International Tennis Center. ''Non-mandatory WTA 1000.'' * '''China Open''': Start of October, immediately following the Wuhan Open, at the National Tennis Center in [[Beijing]]. ''Mandatory WTA 1000.'' ** Note that the ATP Tour plays here at the same time, but the men's version of the China Open is a fourth-tier 500 Series event. * '''[[Shanghai]] Masters''': Week after the China Open at Qi Zhong Stadium in the southwest of the city. ''ATP Masters 1000.'' * '''[[Paris]] Masters''': Late October–early November at AccorHotels Arena in the [[Paris/12th arrondissement|12th arrondissement]]. ''ATP Masters 1000.'' ===Handball=== {{see also|Handball in Europe}} Olympic or team Handball is a fast paced team sport that is mostly played indoors and enjoys considerable popularity in most of continental Europe. The world cup as well as the European championship are major events, second only to soccer. The best national leagues (found in Germany, France and the Nordic countries) battle out a club champion every year. There is also the [http://www.ehfcl.com/ EHF Champions League] which battles out Europe's top club team every year. ===Cycling=== Road bicycle racing is broadly divided into two race types: * '''Single-day races''' — Exactly as the name implies, these races are held on a single day at around the same time each year. Some have fixed courses; more have fixed starting and end points with courses varying slightly from year to year. The most prestigious races of this type are often called "classics", but the term is poorly defined. * '''Stage races''' — Held over more than one day, with one race each day known as a "stage" (though some races, notably the Grand Tours, will include one or two rest days). While there is an award ceremony at the end of each stage, the overall winner is determined by "general classification"—the cumulative time for the entire race. The most famous road racing events for bicycles in Europe are the three stage races known as Grand Tours. They are raced in Italy, France, and Spain but commonly also include legs in other countries. These tours, each featuring 21 stages, involve only men's races, and are even more prestigious than the cycling events at the Olympics. * '''[https://www.giroditalia.it/ Giro d'Italia]''' - around Italy, usually takes place in May. * '''[https://www.letour.fr/en/ Tour de France]''' - around France, usually takes place in July. * '''[https://www.lavuelta.es/en Vuelta a España]''' - around Spain, usually takes place in August. While countless single-day races are run, both throughout Europe and worldwide, the most famous are the five races known as "Monuments", all of which were first held between 1890 and 1915. * '''[[Milan]]–[[Sanremo|San Remo]]''' (Italian: ''Milano–Sanremo'') – The first major classic of the year, usually on the third Saturday of March on a course between the two named locations. It's considered "the sprinters' classic" because its mostly flat course favors that type of rider. * '''Tour of [[Flanders]]''' (Dutch: ''Ronde van Vlaanderen'') – Held in early April through [[Belgium]]'s Flanders region between [[Antwerp]] and [[Oudenaarde]]. The first of the "cobbled classics", with many key sections (including several short but very steep hills) paved in cobblestones. * '''[[Paris]]–[[Roubaix]]''' – Probably ''the'' most famous single-day race, it's known as the "Queen of the Classics" and ''l'Enfer du Nord'' ("The Hell of the North [of France]"). Held one week after the Tour of Flanders, it features even longer stretches of cobblestone roads, making it arguably the hardest single-day race on riders. * '''[[Liège]]–[[Bastogne]]–Liège''' – Held in late April in Belgium, this race is nearly as hard on riders as Paris–Roubaix, but for different reasons, namely a long course with numerous short but steep hills in the [[Ardennes]] region, as well as an uphill finish in Liège. * '''Giro di [[Lombardy|Lombardia]]''' (officially ''Il Lombardia'') – The year's final Monument, held in October over a course that varies from year to year, with only a few fixed locations, most famously the arduous climb to the Madonna del Ghisallo church in Magreglio near Lake Como. The race ends in either [[Bergamo]] or [[Como]]. Known as "the climbers' classic" from its many significant climbs. Cycling is also featured at the Summer Olympics in 4 disciplines; track cycling, road cycling, mountain biking and BMX. With the exception of the men's road cycling discipline, these are generally considered to be the pinnacle of the sport of cycling. {{usabletopic}} {{PartOfTopic|Sports}} 47qeibxhb0h4t4la7rnf5s476qv62h0 4496002 4496000 2022-08-06T08:51:37Z Dale Arnett 737490 /* Women's */ Chevron Championship site now set. wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|MalmöFF Fans banner.jpg|caption=Fans of Malmö FF, a Swedish football team}} : ''This article is about watching sports.

'''Watching sports''' is a popular pastime around the world, whether at a major international event such as the [[Olympic Games]] or, for example, a minor league football game. In the 21st century, sports is a multi-billion-dollar industry and part of this revolves about travel. Many combine their love of sport and travel to watch events overseas or in another part of the country. ==Understand== Sport stadiums can be designated for one sport, or host several different events. Major stadiums can change their name with a sponsor deal; in some cases they even change name during a specific event.

Despite good attendance, the league did not return until the 2016 season, the first of what was meant to be a three-year deal to hold one game each season in that country. With both the 2016 and 2017 games selling out, the deal was extended through the 2021 season with an eye to possibly play more than one game per season in future years. All Mexico games thus far have been held in Estadio Azteca in [[Mexico City]], as will the 2022 game.

The men's tournament begins on the Tuesday preceding the third Thursday in March (in terms of dates, no earlier than March 13 and no later than March 19) in [[Dayton|Dayton, Ohio]] with an eight-team round marketed as the First Four, featuring two games on Tuesday and two on Wednesday. The winners of these four games join the remaining 60 tournament teams for the first round, which starts on the third Thursday in March.

The term "stock car" is a historic reference; when NASCAR first organized races in the years immediately after World War II, the cars were in fact "stock"—exactly as purchased from dealers, with minimal safety-related changes. Over time, the cars changed to the point that they are only vaguely similar in external appearance to current street vehicles, with much more powerful engines and far more safety equipment. NASCAR now operates three national touring series: * Cup Series, the top series * Xfinity Series, the second level * Camping World Truck Series, the third level, which races pickup trucks instead of cars; usually called simply the "Truck Series" Most races are held on oval tracks. For many years, no more than one or two Cup Series races were held on road courses, but since 2021 that number has gone up to six. Five Xfinity Series races and three Truck Series are also held on road courses. One of the two 2022 weekends at Bristol Motor Speedway in East Tennessee saw the paved oval covered by dirt, with all three series racing on that surface (the fall race weekend uses the normal paved track). Before COVID-19, the Truck Series held one race in Canada, but border restrictions have led to that date being transferred south of the border. The sport used to be centered in the Southeastern U.S., but beginning in the 1990s it expanded to become a national spectacle. A typical NASCAR event spans a long weekend, with two or even all three series holding races at one site. Unlike most sports, NASCAR's biggest event is the ''first'' race of the season: * '''Daytona 500''', held on the day before the Presidents Day holiday (which falls on the third Monday of February) at Daytona International Speedway in [[Daytona Beach]], [[Florida]] ====IndyCar==== A U.S.-based open-wheel racing series. It was established in its current form in 2008, when the IndyCar Series (launched in 1996) merged with the former Champcars series. The merger is a story in itself—as late as the early 1990s, open-wheel racing, governed by a body known as CART (which later became Champcars), was the most popular form of motorsport in the U.S. However, in 1994, the owner of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home to the series' marquee event, the Indianapolis 500, had a bitter falling-out with CART, leading to the creation of the competing IndyCar series (which took the Indy 500 with it). The feud led many former open-wheel fans to abandon the sport, often for NASCAR. By the time the feud ended, attendance and sponsorship money for the sport were a fraction of what they had been only 15 years earlier, and only in the late 2010s had it begun to recover some of its original prominence. All of the series' races are held in the U.S. except for one on a street course in [[Toronto]]. The tracks are a mixture of ovals, road courses, and street circuits. The series' marquee event, as mentioned above, is: * '''Indianapolis 500''', held the day before the U.S. holiday of Memorial Day (which falls on the last Monday of May) at the [[Indianapolis]] Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana (a community completely surrounded by the city of Indianapolis) ==== Motorcycle speedway ==== Motorcycle speedway is a sport where lightweight motorcycles race each other on an oval-shaped track. It is most popular in [[Poland]] but also has a major presence in [[Australia]], [[Britain]], and [[Sweden]]. ===== Important events ===== *'''Speedway Grand Prix''', held annually in the Northern Hemisphere's late spring, summer, and early fall. *'''Speedway of Nations''', held annually in the Northern Hemisphere's summer (usually June or July). ===Rugby=== ''see also'' [[Rugby football]] ====Rugby union==== * 2023 '''Six Nations Championship''', 4 February–18 March: ** [[Cardiff]], Principality Stadium (Millennium Stadium) ** [[Dublin]], Aviva Stadium ** [[Edinburgh]], BT Murrayfield ** [[London]], Twickenham Stadium ** [[Rome]], Stadio Olimpico ** [[Saint-Denis (Île-de-France)|Saint-Denis]] ([[Paris]]), Stade de France * 2022 '''Rugby Championship''', various locations in [[Argentina]], [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]], and [[South Africa]].

The top-level men's tour is the ATP Tour, with the WTA Tour as the women's counterpart. The men's and women's tours come together for the four '''Grand Slam''' events and a few other select tournaments throughout the year. The only players to have ever completed the grand slam are Don Budge (1938) and Rod Laver (1962 & 1969) in the men's event, and Maureen Connolly (1953), Margaret Court (1965) and Steffi Graf (1988) in the women's event. In addition to these, the '''Davis Cup''' (men) and '''Billie Jean King Cup''' (women) are the top events for national teams; these operate as multi-level leagues. The top levels (now known as the "Finals" in both events) were traditionally conducted as knockout tournaments, but now use a format similar to that of the FIFA World Cup, with all qualifying nations meeting at a single site for a group stage followed by a knockout stage. A player who wins all four grand slams and the Olympic gold medal in the same calendar year is said to have completed a '''golden slam''', and the only player to have done so to date was Germany's Steffi Graf in 1988. (The doubles partnership of American identical twins Bob and Mike Bryan, aka the Bryan Brothers, won all of the required events consecutively, but their streak started with the 2012 Olympics, thus spanning two calendar years.) ====Grand Slam events==== All four of these events are held over two weeks. They are considered to be the pinnacle of the sport of tennis, and are even more prestigious than the Olympics. * '''Australian Open''': Ends on the last Sunday in January at [[Melbourne]] Park just outside the city centre. Frequently suffers from hot and humid weather in the southern summer, although this has been alleviated by retractable roofs on the three main courts. The final is held in the Rod Laver Arena, which is named after Rod Laver, the only player to have completed a grand slam twice, and the last man to achieve the feat when he did so in 1969. * '''French Open''' (also known as ''Roland Garros''): Held in late May and early June at ''Stade Roland Garros'' in the Bois de Boulogne in the [[Paris/16th arrondissement|16th arondissement]] of [[Paris]]. Most notable as the only Grand Slam event still held on clay courts. * '''Wimbledon''': Begins on the first Monday in July and ends on the second Sunday following at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in the Wimbledon neighbourhood of southwest [[London]]. Notable for being the only Grand Slam event held on grass courts, requiring all players to dress only in white, and many other traditions. The most prestigious of the Grand Slams. * '''US Open''': Begins on the last Monday in August and ends on the Sunday after the US holiday of Labor Day, celebrated on the first Monday of September. Held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in the northern part of the [[New York City]] borough of [[Queens]]. ====Season-ending championships==== Both the ATP and WTA have season-ending events for the very top players, with eight players qualifying for the finals in singles and eight teams in doubles. The competitors are divided into two groups of four, each playing a round-robin within the group. The top two finishers in each group advance to the semifinals, with the winners of each semifinal contesting the final. * '''ATP Finals''': Mid-November at The O₂ Arena in London. * '''WTA Finals''': Late October–early November at the [[Shenzhen]] Bay Sports Center (aka the "Spring Cocoon") in the [[Shenzhen/Nanshan|Nanshan]] district of Shenzhen, China (bordering on Hong Kong). Unique to the WTA Tour is a second season-ending event for players immediately below those who qualify for the WTA Finals, featuring 12 players in singles and 12 doubles teams. In singles, the players are divided into groups of three, each playing a round-robin within the group; the winners of each group advance to the semifinals. In doubles, each group consists of six teams, also with round-robin play within the group, with the group winners advancing to the final. In terms of ranking points, this event falls in the middle of the WTA Premier hierarchy (see below). * '''WTA Elite Trophy''': Immediately before the WTA Finals in late October. ====Other top-tier events==== Both the ATP and WTA have a multi-level hierarchy of events, with the Grand Slam at the top, followed by the season-ending championships and then the events shown here (with other levels below these in both cases). The two tours have differing terminology for this level: * ATP: Nine events known as the "ATP Tour Masters 1000". All top players are required to enter these events (barring injury or other misfortune), with the exception of the Monte-Carlo Masters. * WTA: The "WTA 1000" was established in 2021 by the merger of the former "Premier Mandatory" and "Premier 5" events. However, the former split between those two categories is still maintained, with only the four former "Premier Mandatory" events requiring that top players enter. * Olympics: The tennis event at the Olympics is less prestigious than the Grand Slams, and many top players choose to skip it, while those who compete often do not take it seriously and lose to little-known lower-ranked opponents. That said, players who win all four Grand Slams and the Olympic gold medal in the same calendar year are said to have completed a golden slam, which is an extremely rare and difficult feat; only one player has managed to do so to date. With that in mind, here are the ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 events: * '''[[Qatar]] Ladies Open''': Mid-February at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex in [[Doha]]. ''Non-mandatory; alternates yearly with Dubai between WTA 1000 and lower-level WTA 500 status.'' * '''[[Dubai]] Tennis Championships''': Late February at the Aviation Club Tennis Centre. ''Non-mandatory; alternates yearly with Qatar between WTA 1000 and lower-level WTA 500 status.'' * '''Indian Wells Masters''' (men) and '''Indian Wells Open''' (women): Early March in [[Indian Wells]], California (near Palm Springs). ''ATP Masters 1000 and mandatory WTA 1000.'' * '''Miami Open''': Late March–early April at Hard Rock Stadium in [[Miami Gardens]], Florida (north of the city of Miami). ''ATP Masters 1000 and mandatory WTA 1000.'' * '''Monte-Carlo Masters''': Mid-April at Monte Carlo Country Club in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France, next to Monaco. ''ATP Masters 1000.'' * '''[[Madrid]] Open''': Mid-May at Caja Mágica in Madrid. ''ATP Masters 1000 and mandatory WTA 1000.'' * '''Italian Open''': Week following the Madrid Open at Foro Italico in Rome. ''ATP Masters 1000 and non-mandatory WTA 1000.'' * '''Canadian Open''': Early August at Stade IGA in Montreal and Aviva Centre in Toronto. In odd-numbered years, the men play in Montreal and the women in Toronto, and vice versa in even-numbered years. ''ATP Masters 1000 and non-mandatory WTA 1000.'' * '''Cincinnati Masters''' (men) and '''Cincinnati Open''' (women): Week after the Canadian Open at the Lindner Family Tennis Center in [[Mason (Ohio)|Mason, Ohio]], northeast of [[Cincinnati]]. ''ATP Masters 1000 and non-mandatory WTA 1000.'' * '''[[Wuhan]] Open''': Last week of September at Optics Valley International Tennis Center. ''Non-mandatory WTA 1000.'' * '''China Open''': Start of October, immediately following the Wuhan Open, at the National Tennis Center in [[Beijing]]. ''Mandatory WTA 1000.'' ** Note that the ATP Tour plays here at the same time, but the men's version of the China Open is a fourth-tier 500 Series event. * '''[[Shanghai]] Masters''': Week after the China Open at Qi Zhong Stadium in the southwest of the city. ''ATP Masters 1000.'' * '''[[Paris]] Masters''': Late October–early November at AccorHotels Arena in the [[Paris/12th arrondissement|12th arrondissement]]. ''ATP Masters 1000.'' ===Handball=== {{see also|Handball in Europe}} Olympic or team Handball is a fast paced team sport that is mostly played indoors and enjoys considerable popularity in most of continental Europe. The world cup as well as the European championship are major events, second only to soccer. The best national leagues (found in Germany, France and the Nordic countries) battle out a club champion every year. There is also the [http://www.ehfcl.com/ EHF Champions League] which battles out Europe's top club team every year. ===Cycling=== Road bicycle racing is broadly divided into two race types: * '''Single-day races''' — Exactly as the name implies, these races are held on a single day at around the same time each year. Some have fixed courses; more have fixed starting and end points with courses varying slightly from year to year. The most prestigious races of this type are often called "classics", but the term is poorly defined. * '''Stage races''' — Held over more than one day, with one race each day known as a "stage" (though some races, notably the Grand Tours, will include one or two rest days). While there is an award ceremony at the end of each stage, the overall winner is determined by "general classification"—the cumulative time for the entire race. The most famous road racing events for bicycles in Europe are the three stage races known as Grand Tours. They are raced in Italy, France, and Spain but commonly also include legs in other countries. These tours, each featuring 21 stages, involve only men's races, and are even more prestigious than the cycling events at the Olympics. * '''[https://www.giroditalia.it/ Giro d'Italia]''' - around Italy, usually takes place in May. * '''[https://www.letour.fr/en/ Tour de France]''' - around France, usually takes place in July. * '''[https://www.lavuelta.es/en Vuelta a España]''' - around Spain, usually takes place in August. While countless single-day races are run, both throughout Europe and worldwide, the most famous are the five races known as "Monuments", all of which were first held between 1890 and 1915. * '''[[Milan]]–[[Sanremo|San Remo]]''' (Italian: ''Milano–Sanremo'') – The first major classic of the year, usually on the third Saturday of March on a course between the two named locations. It's considered "the sprinters' classic" because its mostly flat course favors that type of rider. * '''Tour of [[Flanders]]''' (Dutch: ''Ronde van Vlaanderen'') – Held in early April through [[Belgium]]'s Flanders region between [[Antwerp]] and [[Oudenaarde]]. The first of the "cobbled classics", with many key sections (including several short but very steep hills) paved in cobblestones. * '''[[Paris]]–[[Roubaix]]''' – Probably ''the'' most famous single-day race, it's known as the "Queen of the Classics" and ''l'Enfer du Nord'' ("The Hell of the North [of France]"). Held one week after the Tour of Flanders, it features even longer stretches of cobblestone roads, making it arguably the hardest single-day race on riders. * '''[[Liège]]–[[Bastogne]]–Liège''' – Held in late April in Belgium, this race is nearly as hard on riders as Paris–Roubaix, but for different reasons, namely a long course with numerous short but steep hills in the [[Ardennes]] region, as well as an uphill finish in Liège. * '''Giro di [[Lombardy|Lombardia]]''' (officially ''Il Lombardia'') – The year's final Monument, held in October over a course that varies from year to year, with only a few fixed locations, most famously the arduous climb to the Madonna del Ghisallo church in Magreglio near Lake Como. The race ends in either [[Bergamo]] or [[Como]]. Known as "the climbers' classic" from its many significant climbs. Cycling is also featured at the Summer Olympics in 4 disciplines; track cycling, road cycling, mountain biking and BMX. With the exception of the men's road cycling discipline, these are generally considered to be the pinnacle of the sport of cycling. {{usabletopic}} {{PartOfTopic|Sports}} dm2epbzyq92l4o1oe0pif1ljd922spv 0 15886 4495876 4492724 2022-08-05T23:03:30Z Vidimian 1815 /* Orientation */ + galata pic wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Istanbul morning panorama banner.jpg|dotm=yes}} {{printDistricts}} [[File:İstanbul 4228.jpg|thumb|Ortaköy Mosque along the Bosphorus]] '''Istanbul''' ([[Turkish phrasebook|Turkish]]: ''İstanbul'') is a city of fantastic history, culture and beauty. Called '''Byzantium''' in ancient times, the city's name was changed to '''Constantinople''' in 324 CE when it was rebuilt by the first Christian Roman Emperor, Constantine. The name "Istanbul", which - perhaps surprisingly - comes from Greek and could be translated as a corruption of "to the city". While the term had been in widespread use for centuries, it only became the official name of the city upon the foundation of the Republic of Turkey in the 1920s. The most populous city in [[Europe]], Istanbul forms the financial and cultural center of [[Turkey]] and confidently straddles the borders between [[Asia]] and Europe as it has for millennia: this is the result when you mix ancient Christendom, a medieval metropolis and the modern Middle East. Situated on either side of the Bosphorus, Istanbul retains its metropolitan status: the city's population is more than 14 million people, making it one of the largest cities in the world. Lauded in antiquity as "the second Rome", this is a city where you most certainly should ''roam'' — culture and excitement lie around every corner and more than 2,000 years of history await you. == Districts == The system of districts and municipalities of Istanbul is quite sophisticated and was changed in 2009. Here is a simple division of the city into approximate regions: {{Mapframe|41.0618|28.9587|width=420|height=350|zoom=11|staticmap=Istanbul districts map.png|show=mask,go}} {{Mapshape|type=geoshape|stroke-opacity=0.1|wikidata=Q732923|fill=#baae4f|title=[[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Sultanahmet/Fatih]]}} {{Mapshape|type=geoshape|stroke-opacity=0.1|wikidata=Q217411|fill=#ee6cda|title=[[Istanbul/Galata|Galata]]}} {{Mapshape|type=geoshape|stroke-opacity=0.1|wikidata=Q390637,Q284489|fill=#c189de|title=[[Istanbul/New City|New City]]}} {{Mapshape|type=geoshape|stroke-opacity=0.1|wikidata=Q857107,Q459495|fill=#cf9383|title=[[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Bosphorus]]}} {{Mapshape|type=geoshape|stroke-opacity=0.1|wikidata=Q673073|fill=#8588e1|title=[[Istanbul/Golden Horn|Golden Horn]]}} {{Mapshape|type=geoshape|stroke-opacity=0.1|wikidata=Q1020668|fill=#68b867|title=[[Istanbul/Princes' Islands|Princes' Islands]]}} {{Mapshape|type=geoshape|stroke-opacity=0.1|wikidata=Q794351,Q122320,Q326339,Q334924,Q753882,Q932886,Q739547,Q639014,Q253182,Q857056,Q673890,Q938548|fill=#b7d486|title=[[Istanbul/Asian Side|Asian Side]]}} {{Mapshape|type=geoshape|stroke-opacity=0.1|wikidata=Q840258,Q691764,Q794356,Q340148,Q639240,Q752528,Q197095,Q791567,Q570826,Q268747,Q788634,Q932166,Q378714,Q746516,Q791607,Q268983|fill=#bbb68d|title=[[Istanbul/Western Suburbs|Western Suburbs]]}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} <!-- Istanbul Metro --> {{mapshapes|Q6088693}} <!-- Istanbul modern trams (T1, T4) --> {{Mapshape|title=Marmaray|wikidata=Q497844|type=geoline|stroke=#5a5f5c|stroke-width=4|stroke-opacity=1}} {{Regionlist | regionmap= | regionmaptext= | regionmapsize= | region1name=[[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Sultanahmet/Fatih]] (The Old City) | region1color=#baae4f | region1description=Essentially '''Constantinople''' of the Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans, this is the walled inner city, with most of the famous historical sights of Istanbul. | region2name=[[Istanbul/Galata|Galata]] | region2items=Galata, Beyoğlu | region2color=#ee6cda | region2description=Housing many of the nightlife venues of the city, this district which includes '''Galata''', '''Istiklal Street''', and '''Taksim Square''' has also its own share of sights and accommodation. | region3name=[[Istanbul/New City|New City]] | region3color=#c189de | region3description=The main business district of the city, also home to many modern shopping malls, and districts such as '''Elmadağ''', '''Nişantaşı''', '''Levent''', and '''Etiler'''. | region4name=[[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Bosphorus]] | region4color=#cf9383 | region4description=The European bank of the Bosphorus that is lined by numerous palaces, parks, water-front mansions, and bohemian neighborhoods. | region5name=[[Istanbul/Golden Horn|Golden Horn]] | region5color=#8588e1 | region5description=The banks of the Golden Horn, the estuary that separates the European side into distinctive areas.

Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople|author=Jimmy Kennedy, Istanbul (Not Constantinople), 1953}} ===History=== While relics of prehistoric human settlement were found in the Yarımburgaz Cave near the Küçükçekmece Lake and during the construction of a subway station in Yenikapı, [[Ancient Greece|Greek colonists]] from [[Attica|Megara]], directed by their legendary leader Byzas, have been traditionally accepted as the founders of Istanbul. Expanding the ancient Greek colony of '''Byzantium''' by the order of the [[Roman Empire|Roman]] Emperor Constantine the Great, the imperial city of '''Constantinople''' was for nearly a thousand years the heavily-fortified capital of the [[Byzantine Empire|Eastern Roman (later termed Byzantine) Empire]]. To this day, the Ecumenical Patriarch, head of the Eastern Orthodox Church continues to be the Archbishop of Constantinople, who is still based in Istanbul. It was finally conquered by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II on 29 May 1453, an event sometimes used to mark the end of the Middle Ages. It was the nerve centre for military campaigns that were to enlarge the [[Ottoman Empire]] dramatically. By the mid-1500s, Istanbul, with a population of almost half a million, was a major cultural, political, and commercial centre. Ottoman rule continued until it was defeated in the [[World War I|first World War]] and Istanbul was occupied by the allies. When the Republic of Turkey was born in 1923 after the War of Independence, Kemal Atatürk moved its capital to the city of [[Ankara]], strategically located in the centre of the new republic. However, Istanbul has continued to expand dramatically; today its population is approximately 14 million and increases at an estimated 400,000 immigrants per year. Industry has expanded even as tourism has grown. It continues to be a city that creates its own history at the intersection where both continents meet. ===Orientation=== [[File:2019-07-28_Galata_Bridge_3.jpg|thumb|350px|Galata as seen from Old Istanbul across the Golden Horn]] Istanbul is divided in three by the north-south '''Bosphorus Strait''' (''İstanbul Boğazı'', "the strait of Istanbul"), the dividing line between Europe and Asia, the estuary of the '''Golden Horn''' (''Haliç'') bisecting the western part and the '''Sea of Marmara''' (''Marmara Denizi'') forming a boundary to the south. Most sights are concentrated in the old city on the peninsula of '''Sultanahmet''', to the west of the Bosphorus between the Horn and the Sea. Across the Horn to the north are '''Galata''', '''Beyoğlu''' and '''Taksim''', the heart of modern Istanbul, while '''Kadıköy''' is the major district on the comparatively less-visited Anatolian side of the city. The Black Sea forms the relatively less developed northern boundary of Istanbul. ===Climate=== {{Climate | units = Metric | janhigh = 7.7 | febhigh = 8.2 | marhigh = 10.3 | aprhigh = 15.2 | mayhigh = 19.6 | junhigh = 24.2 | julhigh = 26.0 | aughigh = 26.1 | sephigh = 23.3 | octhigh = 19.0 | novhigh = 13.6 | dechigh = 9.4 | janlow = 1.7 | feblow = 1.1 | marlow = 2.6 | aprlow = 6.4 | maylow = 11.0 | junlow = 14.5 | jullow = 17.0 | auglow = 17.6 | seplow = 13.7 | octlow = 10.8 | novlow = 6.4 | declow = 3.7 | janprecip = 86.8 | febprecip = 70.5 | marprecip = 62.3 | aprprecip = 55.9 | mayprecip = 54.6 | junprecip = 48.5 | julprecip = 48.5 | augprecip = 54.1 | sepprecip = 51.9 | octprecip = 70.0 | novprecip = 86.1 | decprecip = 105.3 |jansnow =26.0|febsnow =24.7|marsnow =11.6|aprsnow =0|maysnow =0|junsnow =0|julsnow =0|augsnow =0|sepsnow =0|octsnow =0|novsnow =2.6| decsnow =22.1 | description = See the 4 day forecast for Istanbul at the [https://mgm.gov.tr/eng/forecast-cities.aspx?m=ISTANBUL Turkish State Meteorological Service] }} Despite what its stereotypes, artificially placed palm trees, or misleading tourism brochures may imply, Istanbul is not the sunny, warm year-round holiday destination some people might hope it is. In fact, Istanbul has way more in common with Southwestern France or the Pacific Northwest than with virtually all of the cities near the Mediterranean Sea, with an average temperature around 12-14°C, it is only 1°C warmer than New York, and around the same average temperature as Portland, Oregon or Bordeaux, France. [[File:Hagia Sophia in snow.JPG|thumb|Istanbul experiences frequent precipitation during the colder months of the year, some of which falls as snow.]] Simply put, Istanbul has an oceanic climate with some Mediterranean influences. This means very warm, mostly sunny summers, and cool to chilly, bleak winters, with very frequent rain and, on occasion, snow. Istanbul is a fairly cloudy city, especially for the Eastern Mediterranean, with around 1,700-2,300 hours of sunshine, which means the skies are overcast around half of the time. Overcast conditions can occur because of dense fog, which is common year-round, affecting certain inland parts of Istanbul for an impressive 200 days per year. However, because of the urbanization of Istanbul and the resulting 'urban heat island', fog has become increasingly rare in the densely inhabited coastal regions of Istanbul, making summers much sunnier than they once were. Another potentially surprising part of Istanbul's climate is its frequent rainfall, as even though rainfall varies a lot depending on where you are in the city, the city average is somewhere around 800mm over some 150 days of the year. This makes umbrellas useful, especially in summer and fall when rains tend to be heavier. Istanbul is wetter than most major European cities, such as London, Paris, or Berlin. However, a large part of Istanbul's rainfall happens in the colder months, leaving the warmest months to sunny, moderately dry weather. Before getting into more detailed information, it's important to understand that because of its huge size, topography, and maritime influences, Istanbul exhibits a multitude of distinct microclimates. Thus, different sections of Istanbul can experience different weather conditions at the same time. A good example of this would be the occasional summer showers in the city. These showers often affect the north of the city much more than the south, and the south would likely stay dry while the north gets soaked. ==== Summer ==== Summer (Jul-Aug) is generally quite warm, averaging around 26°C during the day and 17°C at night. The weather is often pleasant, and there is an almost constant northeasterly wind called Poyraz that prevents the city from experiencing temperatures higher than 32-33°C on most years. However, the same breezy conditions, also bring very humid air from the Black Sea, causing very muggy conditions, which raises the perceived temperature quite a bit. Summer is relatively dry, but generally not rainless, with around four to five rainy days a month. The rain that does fall during this time can get heavy however, and for a number of reasons Istanbul is known to be a severe weather hotspot, with, among other things, around 2-3 hailstorms per year, which is extremely high for a Mediterranean-influenced city. Light clothing is recommended during summer. A light jacket and/or light sweater if the summer evenings do become a little cooler than average could be useful. ==== Spring and Autumn ==== Spring (Apr-Jun) and fall (Sep-Nov) are both mild, with a good mix of rain and shine. Late spring (late May to early June) and early autumn (late September to early October) are quite pleasant and the best times to visit the city. During these periods temperatures are pleasantly warm, and the weather is less rainy than in winter; even though the nights can get a little chilly, and rain can definitely not be ruled out. ==== Winter ==== Winter (Dec-Mar) is generally chilly, averaging around 8°C during the day and 2°C at night, but the high relative humidity levels make the winter air quite a bit more miserable, and the wind chill can make the temperatures feel much colder. There can be mild and cold periods as well, these usually changing with the wind patterns. A southwesterly wind, called Lodos, can bring relatively comfortable but showery days with highs around 12-16°C, while northerly winds bring daytime temperatures at or slightly above freezing. This time of year is infamous for its rain. Rain generally falls as a light, intermittent and barely noticeable kind of drizzle, but it can go on for a week or more at a time, with almost three weeks of rain on average per month. This kind of rain can easily be managed without an umbrella (and indeed, most locals tend to prefer raincoats or warm clothing instead), however if you do want an umbrella when it's raining out, the streets of Istanbul are suddenly filled with umbrella sellers as soon as it starts raining. Although the umbrellas they provide are a little shoddy, the going rate is 5 TL per umbrella, and you can find much better umbrellas for that price at shops if you look around a bit. Snowfall is somewhat common between December and March, however this changes quite a bit from year to year. Mild winters can get only a trace of accumulation, while colder winters can bring up to three weeks of snow cover. One other thing to note here is how heavy the snow can get in Istanbul. This is because Istanbul's snowfall comes from an event called sea or lake effect snowfall, where bands of heavy snow showers lash the coasts of Istanbul, bringing waves of showery snow. These events generally don't go on for long, as when the colder weather leaves Istanbul, so does the snow. However, accumulations of up to 75 cm in a single day have been recorded, even in the warmer city center. Warm clothing is essential during winter even if temperature extremes aren't common, wind chill can make most people feel absolutely miserable otherwise. ==Get in== See [[Turkey#Get in]] for visa requirements. From 2020, most EU, UK, CIS and South American visitors do not need a visa.

It has many domestic flights, often by Anadolu Jet (the budget offshoot of Turkish Airlines). In addition, Pegasus and other carriers have extensive international flights all across Europe, the Middle East, Northern Africa and Western Asia, especially in summer when this is a low cost route to the Turkish beach resorts and Northern Cyprus. None of the airlines that use Sabiha Gökçen have announced plans to relocate to the new Istanbul Airport: it's big enough to take them, but not convenient for Istanbul's Asia side. Plan plenty of time when departing from SAW&mdash;if you have to drop off luggage or have not checked in online arriving 2 hr prior to scheduled time of departure is cutting it very close. It is a large airport, with the full range of passenger facilities ground-side and air-side. The ground-side departure hall is fairly comfortable. If you have a long stopover here, the LGM CIP Lounge is a good deal, with unlimited free beer, wine, soft drinks, light meals and snacks for €12 entry per person. Outbound, there's a security check just to enter the terminal (they will inspect but not confiscate liquids), then the usual check after bag-drop to get air-side. There is a hotel at the airport, some half-a-dozen at Kurtköy 2 km north, then another dozen at Pendik town (on the Marmara coast near the YHT station) 6 km south. Waiting times when connecting through SAW can be very long, sometimes 12 hr. This way they are collecting all the passengers for the continuing flights. However, there was no free Wi-Fi at the airport in 2019, so plan ahead how you are going to spend your time. But of course you can always go on a shopping spree, which is apparently the second reason why waiting time for connecting flights are sometimes so high. '''Getting there/away''': While it is planned to connect SAW to the metro eventually and there are even some maps that show the to be built connection, the metro stops well short of the airport and there's no good or reliable bus connection from the last metro stop to the airport * '''Train''' &ndash; Sabiha Gökçen Airport is 12 km from Pendik YHT railway station, take a taxi or bus 132H to catch fast trains east to Ankara and Konya. : The Metro does not yet reach the airport, but Line M4 has been extended to Tavşantepe near Pendik. * [https://hava.ist/ '''Havaist'''] – It works on both airports.

To these airports there are ultra low-cost flights from many European destinations. This is also an alternative if your final destination is in the far north west of Turkey. Alternative airports in Turkey are in [[Ankara]] and [[Izmir]]. [[Antalya]] has loads of flights from most of Europe during the summer season and a lesser but still impressive set of flights during the winter. === By train === [[File:Turkey.Istanbul.Sirkeci.RailwayStation.SirkeciGari2.JPG | thumb | The distinctly oriental Sirkeci Station, which has welcomed passengers from Europe to the city on the edge of Asia since 1890...]] [[File:İstanbul 5503.jpg | thumb | ...and the distinctly Teutonic Haydarpaşa Station, which provided the first sight of Europe for many passengers from faraway parts of Asia since 1908 ]] Since the heyday of the legendary [[Orient Express]], travelling by train has been the classic way of reaching Istanbul. It's still an interesting journey, but the trains no longer reach their classic termini. Those from Europe terminate at Halkali west of the city, where you change to the frequent cross-city Marmaray train to reach the centre. Those from the east terminate at Söğütlüçeşme in Kadıköy on the Asian side. This means that Istanbul has two large terminus stations that don't have any mainline trains. {{marker | type=go | lat=41.0152 | long=28.9767 | name=Sirkeci}} on the European side is on the Marmaray network, with cross-city and Metro trains deep underground but nothing at street-level. {{marker | type=go | name=Haydarpaşa | lat=40.9962 | long=29.0188}} in Asia has no trains at all. Both stations are worth a quick visit as monuments to a bygone age of rail travel. And both of them have ticket offices, though it's usually simpler to buy online from the website of Turkish Republic State Railways, [http://www.tcddtasimacilik.gov.tr/ '''TCDD''']. The disused railway into Sirkeci is intact, hugging the coast from Kazlicesme, and it's intended to reinstate it. Work might start in 2023 but don't hold your breath, given the usual scale of delays to Turkish rail projects. ==== Trains from the east ==== '''YHT high speed trains''' (''yüksek hızlı tren'') run to {{marker | type=go | name=Söğütlüçeşme | wikidata=Q7666457}} on the [[Istanbul/Asian Side | Asian side]], close to their future Haydarpaşa terminus. Two trains a day continue under the Bosphorus calling at Bakırköy in the western suburbs and terminating at Halkali. They don't stop anywhere in the Sultanahmet or Old City area, and they don't connect with the Europe trains; change to the frequent Marmaray trains for both purposes. There are frequent YHT services from [[Eskişehir]] (3 hours) and [[Ankara]] (4½ hours), and three per day from [[Konya]] (4½ hours). One per day runs from [[Karaman]] via Konya. YHT services are affordable and very popular, so book a few days ahead to guarantee a seat even though the price remains the same no matter when you book. In 2022 the single fare from Ankara is 168 TL economy, 252 TL business; from Konya it's 201 TL economy, 302 TL business. Change in Konya for Adana and in Ankara for Erzurum, Kars and Tatvan (which has connections to Tabriz and Tehran in Iran). A train from Ankara via Kars to Tbilisi and Baku might start in 2022. On the eastern edge of the city, YHT trains also call at Bostanci, Pendik and Gebze. {{marker | name=Pendik | type=go | lat=40.880 | long=29.230 }}, 25 km east of city centre, is a convenient stop for transfers from Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen airport (10 km, taxi or bus). Consider this route if you intend to fly into Istanbul and immediately head east. Pendik itself is a small township with hotels and cafes, with the bus station and taxi ranks north side of the YHT station. The ''Ankara Express'' is an [[Sleeper trains|overnight]] passenger service between Istanbul and [[Ankara]]. It leaves Istanbul Halkali nightly at 22:00, picking up at Söğütlüçeşme, Bostanci and Pendik plus nine other intermediate stations, reaching Ankara before 07:00. The return service has the same times, taking about nine hours, and there are seats and sleepers plus a dining car. ==== Trains from Europe and European Turkey ==== [[File:Train from Istanbul to Sofia 3.jpg | thumb | Berths in the Istanbul-Sofia train]] A sleeper train departs [[Sofia]] around 18:30 nightly, running via Plovdiv, Kapikule on the border, and [[Edirne]], to terminate at Halkalı at 05:40. From June to Sept another train (with couchettes but no sleeper berths), the ''Bosphor Express'', departs [[Bucharest]] at 12:40, running via Ruse to Kapikule. Here it's coupled to the train from Sofia, and all passengers have to get out for border procedures, before continuing to Halkalı. The westbound service leaves Halkalı at 21:40 to reach Sofia by 09:40 and Bucharest by 19:00 next day. From Oct to May, the through-train from Bucharest doesn't run, so you change at Ruse then again at Kapikule, with a similar timetable. Trains from Budapest to Bucharest, and from Belgrade to Sofia, don't connect with the onward trains to Turkey, so you need an overnight stay. TCDD quote fares for these trains in euros. In 2022 a basic single from Sofia is €31.68. Add €10 for a couchette, €15 for a bed in a shared 2-person cabin or €35 for the entire cabin. The Budapest-Belgrade line remains closed in 2022 for engineering works. Belgrade-Sofia trains ''may'' be running but are not confirmed, you might have to take local trains and change at Niš and Dmitrovgrad. Altogether it's better to reach Turkey via Bucharest. There's also a regional train once a day from Kapikule via Edirne to Halkalı, and another from Uzunköprü. Between Halkalı and downtown use the Marmaray cross-city suburban train, and allow an hour; trains run every 15 min and the fare is about 12 TL (and see "Get around"). {{marker | type=go | name=Halkalı station | lat=41.0188 | long=28.767 }} the terminus is 25 km west of central Istanbul. Few facilities here - in particular, nowhere to change currency until you get downtown, and the ticket machines only accept Turkish cash. For a luxurious stylish journey, once a year the [https://www.belmond.com/venice-simplon-orient-express Venice Simplon Orient Express] runs from Paris to Istanbul. You travel in lovely restored 1930s luxury coaches and enjoy first-rate cuisine. Tickets start at €13,500; sorry, your Eurail pass won't help here. ===By bus=== Turkey has an extensive system of intercity buses for travel around the country. The majority of intercity buses servicing both European and Asian parts of Turkey depart and terminate at the Esenler Bus Station. Many of the bus companies have offices around the city and free courtesy mini-buses known as a "servis," collect passengers from the city and take them to either the main bus stations or their own mini-terminals near the main motorways. For timetables consult the [https://www.obilet.com/ obilet] and/or [https://www.busbud.com/ busbud] website which list many of the bus companies. Some companies are listed on one and some on the other website. ====European side==== =====Alibeyköy===== The {{marker|type=go|lat=41.0876|long=28.9451|name=Alibeyköy bus station}} (''Alibeyköy Cep Otogarı'') is a secondary hub for the European side and is located at Güzeltepe near the outer beltway of Istanbul. Despite its orderly and cool steel-and-glass look, and much smaller size compared with Esenler, this is an unexpectedly chaotic bus station. Buses from Anatolia stop here en route to Esenler bus station, 20–25 min further. The T5 tram line connects this bus station to the M7 metro line, which can be used to get to Mecidiyeköy, a major hub for public transport and the business center of the city, the BRT ''Metrobüs'' line, and to Eminönü all the while providing the passengers a scenic ride along the Golden Horn. There are also somewhat infrequent shuttle services available although none heads for Sultanahmet, they are slower than the tram, and don't expect their drivers to speak much English. =====Esenler===== Often called simply 'the Otogar' (Bus Station) or occasionally 'Bayrampaşa Otogar', the colossal {{marker|type=go|lat=41.0403|long=28.8946|name=Esenler bus station}} (''Esenler Otogarı''), is located at Esenler (although officially within the Bayrampaşa district), about 10 km (6 miles) northwest of Sultanahmet. This is the city's main bus station ({{Phone|+90 212 658 0505}}) for intercity (including Gallipoli) and many international routes (such as Greece and Bulgaria). Despite having been renamed the 15 Temmuz Demokrasi Otogar (also called the 15 Temmuz Şehitler Otogar) in memory of those who died during the abortive coup attempt of 15 July 2016, most bus companies continue to use the Esenler Otogar name. With 168 ticket offices and gates, shops, restaurants, hotel, police station, clinic and mosque, the ''Büyük Otogar'' ("big bus station") is a town in itself, although it lacks a central information desk, so you will have to ask around the individual offices for prices and timetables for your destination. It is served by the Otogar metro station on the M1 metro line. Connections to major destinations within the city are as follows: * '''Sultanahment''': From the Otogar metro station you can take the metro to Aksaray or Zeytinburnu and then easily connect with a tram to Sultanahmet (about 30 minutes via Aksaray) or Kabataş/Taksim. If you travelling with a lot of luggage you may prefer to transfer between the tram to the Metro at Zeytinburnu as the stations are side by side, whereas at Yusufpaşa it is necessary to carry your luggage up and down the steps of an underpass to get to Aksaray Metro station. Going via Zeytinburnu will take longer. The journey will be cheaper if you purchase and recharge an İstanbulkart from the machines at the entrance to the metro station. The total fare between the bus station and Sultanahmet if you use a İstanbulkart 2.60 TL (initial) + 1.85 TL (transfer) = 4.5 TL (plus the initial purchase cost of the card) or two 5 TL Jeton tokens (one for the metro and the other for the tram). A taxi will cost approximately 55 TL to either Sultanahmet or Taksim. * '''Beyoğlu''': Take the M1 Metro line to Yenikapı, then change there for the M2 Metro line in the direction of Hacıosman, and get out at Sishane or Taksim. An alternative is to take [https://www.iett.istanbul/en IETT] bus 830 which departs from the bus station at 06:00. 07:00, 07:35, 09:00, 11:00, 13:15, 15:55, 17:15 and 18:35 M to Sa, and at 11:00, 13:00, 15:00 and 17:15 on Sundays. It takes approximately 60 minutes to reach Taksim Square. You'll need a Jeton or İstanbulkart to pay for your fare. * '''Bus connections''': The main lines from the centre include 28O from Beşiktaş, 75O from Mecidiyeköy, 91O from Eminönü, and 83O from Taksim. Refer to the [https://www.iett.istanbul/en IETT] website for timetables. Esenler is approximately 39 km from the new Istanbul airport. They are connected by the HVIST-5 airport bus service operated by [http://hava.ist/en/ Havaİst]. The journey takes 60 to 75 minutes. * '''Courtesy mini-buses''': Some bus companies such as [https://www.pamukkale.com.tr/servisler/ Pamukkale] operate ''servis'' between the bus station and various pickup and drop-off points around the city. =====Emniyet Terminali===== {{marker|type=go|lat=41.0067|long=28.9500|name=Emniyet Terminali}} (also known as the ''Emniyet Otogar'' or ''Laleli Uluslararası Yolcu Transfer Merkezi'') is the main bus station for international connections, on Küçük Langa Cd, south of Aksaray. It provides international services to the Balkans ([[Albania]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Greece]], [[Kosovo]], [[North Macedonia]], and [[Romania]]), the eastern half of Europe ([[Germany]], [[Hungary]], and [[Poland]]), the Caucasus ([[Armenia]], [[Azerbaijan]], and [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]]), and the Middle East ([[Iraq]], and [[Iran]]). Companies that operate from this station include Ast Turizm, Aybaki Tur, Golden Turizm, Mahmut Turizm, Mahmudoğlu Turizm, Metro Turizm, [http://www.ortadogutur.com.tr Ortadoğu Turizm], Nişikli Turizm, Nugo Turizm, Özlem Turizm, [https://oznuhoglu.com/ Öznuhoğlu], [http://www.perlatrans.com.ro Perla Trans], Star Turizm, Troy Turizm and [http://www.vardarturizm.com.tr/ Vardar Turizm]. It is less than 400 m from the Yenikapı station on the M1 and M2 metro lines and the Marmaray train line. It is also approximately 500 m from the Yusufpaşa station on the T1 tram line, which serves Sultanahmet. The HVIST-12 airport bus service operated by [http://hava.ist/en/ Havaİst] connects Aksaray with the new Istanbul airport. The closest stop to the bus station is 700 m away on Adnan Menderes Blvd. ====Asian side==== Buses travelling to and between Istanbul's Esenler bus station and Anatolian destinations stop on the Asian side of Istanbul to pick up and drop off passengers. If you are travelling between the European side of Istanbul and Anatolia it's worth considering getting on or off the bus on the Asian side as it takes anything between 1h 15min and 1h 45min hours off the total travel time. For many years the principal bus station on the Asian side of Istanbul has been at {{marker|type=go|lat=41.0099|long=29.0111|name=Harem}} (pronounced ''hah-REHM''; not to be confused with the ladies' quarter of the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Topkapı Palace]] with the same name) right on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus, south of Üsküdar and north of Haydarpaşa. From Harem, regular car ferries (which take walk-on passengers) cross the Bosphorus to Sirkeci (just east of Eminönü) on the European side (every 30 minutes M-Sa 05:30-23:00 Su 07:00-22:00). There are also regular passenger ferries from Kadıköy and Üsküdar south and north of Harem to Beşiktaş and Kabataş on the European side. ''Dolmuş''es and many bus lines make the quick run to Üsküdar, from where you can also connect to the M5 metro line, and Marmaray cross-city suburban train. Many of the bus companies (especially the larger ones offering a long list of destinations) have relocated to their own mini-terminals or hubs in the far-flung suburbs of Dudullu, Ferhatpaşa, and Samandıra, as these locations provide a more convenient access to the major motorways. While some of these hubs are relatively close to various stations of M5, none are directly on that metro line, so better catch the ''servis'' minibuses into various central areas, including Harem, Kadıköy and Üsküdar. Reserve a seat in advance as some buses arrive on the Asian side from Esenler with no empty seats. ===By boat=== [[File:Maidens Tower 2007.jpg|thumb|Maiden's Tower at the southern entrance to the Bosphorus]] There are [http://www.ukrferry.com Black Sea ferries] several times a week to Chornomorske, the main port for [[Odessa]] in Ukraine, taking 27 hours. They run all year and take vehicles; indeed trucking is an important part of their business, as so many travellers nowadays fly. The ferry terminal is at Haydarpaşa, by the old railway station. These ferries used to sail to other Black Sea ports but they no longer do. There are no other international ferries to Istanbul - see "Get around" for local ferries around the Sea of Marmara. Cruise ships usually dock on the European side, around Karaköy/Galataport, closer to the historic centre. These ships are on cruise itineraries, check with the operator whether a point-to-point journey ending in Istanbul is possible. ===By car=== Istanbul lies on the European highway '''E80''', and relatively short distance north of '''E90''', both stretching from [[Lisbon]] at the opposite end of the continent. As for the Asian highways, '''AH-1''' from [[Tokyo]], and '''AH-5''' from [[Shanghai]] pass through the city before terminating at the Turkish-Bulgarian border in the west, but they are not signposted in Turkey. Traffic in Istanbul can be manic; expect a stressful drive because you will be cut off and honked at constantly. It seems that half of the cars in Istanbul are parking while the other half is stuck in traffic. Even if you are on a one-way road, always expect someone coming towards you. The city hosts more than 1½ million cars and there is a strong demand for building of new or alternate highways which of course fill up with traffic as soon as they're built. If you've arrived in Istanbul by car, and you're not familiar with the streets, it's better to park your car in a safe place and take public transportation to get around. The parts of the city on either continent separated by the Bosphorus are connected by three bridges and a road tunnel. All require paying a toll to cross, and none accepts cash: payment must be made by using electronic stickers called ''HGS'', obtainable from postoffices. On weekdays, there are potentially hour-long traffic jams on the highways leading to bridges, especially those two closer to the city centre, and particularly heading west in the mornings and east in the evenings, since most people live on the Anatolian side but work on the European side. There is a great shortage of parking in Istanbul, and existing lots are quite expensive. You will see many cars parked on the sides of the road, in front of garage doors even. Street signs are rare. It is a common thing to pull over and ask for directions, something the natives and taxi drivers do quite often. ===By bicycle=== The [https://www.sultanstrail.net/en/ Sultan's Trail] (2,500 km) and the [https://sufitrail.com/ Sufi Trail] (800 km) are [[cycling]] and [[hiking]] trails approaching the city from the west and the east, specifically [[Vienna]] and [[Konya]] respectively. The former retraces the campaign of Suleiman the Magnificent onto the Habsburg capital, while the latter follows an Ottoman [[Hajj]] pilgrimage route. Otherwise, you will have to approach the city on D-100 from either direction, or on the northern (and relatively less busy) route D-020 from the west, and perhaps switch to the bike paths along the Marmara coast once the suburban development begins, as all other main routes leading into the city are classified as motorways, and thus the bikes are forbidden on them. ===By thumb=== Istanbul is huge, so you'll need public transport between your accommodation and your pick-up/drop-off point. Leaving the city, the best routes are: *'''West''' into Europe: you want to be on main highway E-80. First take bus 448 from Yenibosna metro station (southern line, near Ataturk Airport) north towards Mimarsinan. Get off after about 5 km when you cross the E-80. *'''East''' into Asia: again, you want to reach highway E-80. Probably the closest you can start thumbing is Pendik: reach it by metro as described for the YHT railway station. Then start hitching on D-100 which will join E-80. A local lift as far as Gebze or Izmit will also be close to that highway. ==Get around== [[File:Istanbul Rapid Transit Map with Metrobüs (schematic).png|thumb|upright=2.5|Rapid transit map of Istanbul (urban rail and ''metrobüs'' systems)]] Istanbul's public transit system can be difficult to figure out; the lines connect poorly, maps are rare and you often have to transfer, and pay another fare, to get where you are going. However, if you put some effort into it, you can avoid taxis and not walk too much. Unless you use the ''Istanbulkart'', each time you use a tram, metro, bus, or boat on the public transport system, you will need to use a ticket or pass. The single use tickets cost 5 TL (Jan 2017) and can be bought at various vending machines at bus, railway and metro stations or authorized ticket/Istanbulkart sellers (usually newspaper kiosks). Ticket fares across buses, trams and metros differ. Only cash in Turkish lira is accepted at ticket kiosks of public transport, no credit cards or foreign currency. The Istanbul subway system does not offer transfer tickets: each change to a new line requires a new fare. When travelling to Istanbul by air, it is much cheaper (and more fun) to use the bus (or metro system once it is extended) to get as close to your accommodation as possible before walking and/or taking a taxi to where you are staying. Although the public transport may be slightly confusing, taxis/charter buses from the airport are notoriously overpriced. If public transport is your choice of getting around, consider using smartphone public transportation applications so that you can easily see stops, stations and terminals nearby or see alternate routes for your planned destination. İETT has an official one called '''Mobiett''' which is available for [https://itunes.apple.com/tr/app/mobiett/id680243755?l=tr&mt=8 iOS], [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.verisun.mobiett Android] or [https://www.microsoft.com/tr-tr/store/p/mobiett/9nblggh0cgq0 Windows]. But also Google Maps is very reliable to guide your way using public transport. ===''Istanbulkart''=== [[File:Istanbulkart.JPG|thumb|Istanbulkart]] The [https://www.istanbulkart.istanbul/ İstanbulkart] is Istanbul's public transport smart card, which can be used as a ticket on buses, trams, suburban trains, metro, local ferries, etc. If you are in Istanbul for more than a day or two and intend to use public transport, it will pay for itself in a few trips. There is a one time unrefundable deposit of 6 TL for the card. Top up can only be bought using notes. Hence, you must purchase the card (10 TL) with 4 TL as its balance. Any credit left on the Istanbulkart is not refundable, so make sure it's empty when you return the card for deposit. It can be purchased at a number of small corner shops throughout the city. But there are recharge machines at most stations (though not necessarily at all entrances), only excepting notes. You touch the Istanbulkart to a reader when you get on the bus or enter the tram or metro platform. The great advantage for a group of travellers is that you can buy only one and touch it as many times as there are passengers (unlike London's ''Oyster'' card, there is no need to ''touch out'', except the BRT ''Metrobüs'' line). You can buy or refill them at designated booths located at any major bus, tram, or metro station, as well as some other places such as newspaper stands close to bus stops. There are refill machines located at most metro or tram stops and ferry terminals. An Istanbulkart provides significantly discounted rates (a bit over half price for unlinked trips and even cheaper for transfers) compared to regular single tickets, as well as discounts on transfers and short round trips (when used multiple times within a limited period, roughly 1½ hr since the last time you used it). For instance, a trip with Istanbulkart costs ~2.60 TL, while a single ticket is 5.20 TL. The round trip to the airport pays for more than half the cost of this card. Note, some connections charge 5.20 TL initially because their range is very large, e.g. the Marmaray train but even buses. However, there are '''refund machines''' at the exit of stations that serve these long distance connections. In case you only travel a short distance tap your card there, and you will be reimbursed some money. Either way, if you feel like you paid too much, tap or just always tap&mdash;you won't get charged twice. The Istanbulkart is relatively new, and replaces the older ''Akbil'' metal touch-token which is deprecated. Though some Kiosks still have ''Akbil'' signs rather than ''Istanbulkart'' signs - but you can usually buy or top up your Istanbulkart at any kiosk where the ''Akbil'' sign is displayed. There is also the so-called "mavi kart" or blue card which is a cheaper option for frequent users of public transport but has some restrictions, can be used by one person whose photo and name are printed on it, it gives 180 trips in bus/tram/metro that have to be used up within a maximum period of 30 days and costs about 200 TL + 10 TL for printing the card the first time. {{infobox|Disabled travellers|While constant constructions and reroutings in pedestrian areas make the city streets fairly hard to negotiate by wheelchair users, the public transportation administrations of the city have taken steps to accommodate them. Pavements along many major streets in the central areas, as well as pedestrian crossings, have tactile pavings installed. Many pedestrian traffic lights also alert by voice (only in Turkish, though). '''Buses''': The process of replacing old buses with newer ones accessible for people using a wheelchair is ongoing. Many buses on central lines have a low floor and a built-in ramp (consult the driver to lean the bus down nearer to the ground, to open the ramp, and to assist into the bus, though any of these might unfortunately be impossible during peak hours in interval stops. Think of a sardine-packed bus unloading all of its passengers to lean down). LCD screens show the stop names while approaching the stop and voice announcements are made. '''Trams''': They are accessible for people using a wheelchair from the station platforms which are low and equipped with gentle ramps right from the street (or sidewalk) level. All stations are announced both on a display and by voice in the trams. '''Metro''': Almost all stations of Istanbul's metro system are accessible for people using a wheelchair, with lifts/elevators down or up to the platforms from the street level available around the station entrances. All through the system, the trains are easily accessible from the station platforms. For assistance, look for the security guards in grey/black uniforms near the station entrances. All stations are announced by voice in the metro trains. In most lines it is also announced on a display, but not in the older trains of the M1A/M1B. Instead, you should look at the signs in the stations, which are big and common enough. Most metro stations have detectable surface indicators guiding the visually impaired from the street level right to the platform. }} ===By train=== The '''Marmaray cross-town train''', opened in March 2019, links Halkali mainline station in the west with Bakırköy, Zeytinburnu, Sirkeci and Üsküdar either side of the Bosphorus, and Bostancı, Kartal, Pendik and Gebze to the east; plus many small suburban stations. (Pendik and Gebze are on the YHT main line.) Trains run every 15 min 06:00-23:00 and between city centre and end of the line takes an hour, for a fare of about 4 TL. The central sections are shared with the metro. ===By metro=== The city '''[http://www.metro.istanbul/en Metro]''' has seven lines, of which only the first two are of much use to the visitor: * '''Line M1A''' connects the main coach station (''Otogar'') to Aksaray, from where you can catch tram T1 to the city centre, and onward to train hub Yenikapı for connections to M2 and Marmaray. There is also a branch line ('''M1B''') which serves the western suburb of Kirazlı. All trains serve the section between Yenikapı and the bus station. * '''Line M2''' starts from Yenikapı and crosses the Golden Horn, continuing via Şişhane and Taksim Square to Mecidiyeköy and Levent in the [[Istanbul/New City|business district]], and further north to Hacıosman (a major bus hub for suburbs on the north European side, eg Sarıyer). * '''Line M3''' continues northwest from M1B terminus Kirazlı. '''M9''' is an extension branching off this line. * '''Line M4''' on the Asian side goes from Kadıköy to the suburbs along the Marmara coast to Kartal and Pendik (but 1 km away from Pendik YHT station.) It's planned to extend to Sabiha Gökçen airport in the next few years. * '''Line M5''' on the Asian Side runs between Üsküdar on the Bosphorus and the outer suburb of Çekmeköy through Ümraniye. * '''Line M6''' (also called ''Mini Metro'') is a shuttle from the Levent station of M2, and serving the upscale district of Etiler and the main campus of Boğaziçi University in Hisarüstü. *'''Line M7''' mainly serves the densely populated residental areas in the north such as Bağcılar and Gaziosmanpaşa (also known as G.O.P.), connecting them to Mecidiyeköy, the business district and one of the major transport hubs. This line also connects to the metro lines M3 and M2 as well as the metrobüs and the tram lines T4 and T5. Much of the city is not yet served by the metro (it will be years before the new airport is connected), and the distance between stations is larger than in most European cities. But the metro is fast where it does go and meticulously clean and modern, with much of it dating to the 21st century. Most lines are deep underground and some have entrances amidst busy streets with pedestrian tunnels or bridges the only access, so be prepared to walk quite a bit when going to and from stations. Transfers virtually always require exiting and re-entering the system which means a new full fare (with single use tickets) or a reduced fare for the connection (with Istanbulkart). You do not have to swipe any card on exit for metro or tram routes but you do have to do so for Istanbulkart on Metrobus, else you'll be charged the maximum distance fare. Istanbul's first underground system dates to the 19th century, when the funicular subway "Tünel" was constructed to operate from [[Istanbul/Galata|Karaköy to Istiklal Street]] in 1875, travelling 573 m up a steep hill. It's still running and is handy for going from Galata Bridge (Beyoglu side) to the famous Istiklal Caddesi (main street). Heavy construction on extensions and new lines continues apace, with the gap between the M1 and the M2 plugged with Yenikapı station. You can connect M4 and M5 via Marmaray from Yenikapı station. Unfortunately most network maps already show the yet to be built extensions in a lighter shade which can be confusing for a casual glance and frustrating when contemplating where you might be able to go if only you visited Istanbul a year or two later. There is also a funicular system connecting Taksim to Kabataş where you can get on ferries and cross to the [[Istanbul/Asian Side|Anatolian side]], and also transfer to trams bound for the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|old city]]. The old plastic tokens are no longer valid: the only way to pay for metro is Istanbulkart or limited-pass cards. The metro stations do ''not'' have a staffed ticket booth, so you must obtain your tickets or top-up your Istanbulkart through ticket machines. To buy limited pass cards, insert coins or notes and then press the button marked ''onay/okay''. A single pass costs 4 TL on any urban rail in Istanbul though an Istanbulkart (see above) may be more cost effective during your trip. ===By tram=== [[File:Istanbul modern tramway (2831766741).jpg|thumb|The modern tramcars of Istanbul]] Much used by the travellers as it '''serves many popular sites''' and ferries, Istanbul's '''main tram line''' (T1) snakes its way along its almost 20-km route for much of the European side between Kabataş, its eastern terminus on the Bosphorus (connected to the M2 metro line by the two-stop F1 funicular) and its western terminus at Bağcılar (connected to the M1B and M3 metro lines), a suburb in the northwest. Among its '''major stops''', from east to west, are Karaköy and Eminönü respectively on the northern and southern banks of the Golden Horn (which is crossed by the Galata Bridge), Sirkeci, Gülhane, Sultanahmet (near most of the historic sites of the old city), Çemberlitaş, Beyazıt, Laleli, Aksaray (10 minutes' walk away from the Yenikapı station of Marmaray), Yusufpaşa (near the Aksaray station of the M1A and M1B metro lines), Topkapı (near the ancient city walls), and Zeytinburnu (another connection to the M1A). West from Topkapı, it reaches far out to the western suburbs, which are rarely, if ever, visited by the average traveller. The route of the T1 is served by two differently numbered lines: #38 runs along the entire length of the T1 between Kabataş and Bağcılar, while the significantly shorter #47 runs between the Eminönü and Cevizlibağ stations (the latter of which is abbreviated as C.bağ-A.Ö.Y. on the signage of tram cars). However, both lines call at stations that are of most interest to travellers through the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Old City]]. During morning and evening rush hours every alternate tram runs as #47, while during the rest of the day, most run as #38. Although you may use the same ''AKBİL/Istanbulkart'' on the metro and tram, you must pay another fare each time you change lines (on a progressively discounted rate if you use İstanbulkart). During morning and evening '''rush hours''' (roughly between 07:00-09:00 and 17:00-19:30 respectively), tram cars run jam-packed so if you intend to take it for a couple of stations down the way, don't even bother—walking instead is not only less tiresome than standing in what is essentially more crowded than a sardine can, it's also quicker as you will most likely be able to get in the second or even third tram calling at the station due to the crowd. '''T5''' provides an easy access to the southern bank of the [[Istanbul/Golden Horn|Golden Horn]], such areas as Balat and Fener, as well as the Alibeyköy bus station. Although the tram is a tad slow compared to T1, it gives you more time to appreciate the Golden Horn. Its eastern terminus is in Cibali, a 15-min walk short of the Eminönü station of T1, with an ongoing work to close this gap. This line also connects all of the ferry piers on the southern side of the Horn — in case you miss one of the hourly ferries, take the tram to catch it in the next pier. There are also '''another tram line''' linking the residential and industrial suburbs in the north with the city centre: T4 (which is more like ''metro-tram'' systems of northwestern Europe, as it lies underground for part of its route), which heads for Sultançiftliği, connecting to the Topkapı station of the T1 line. However, this line is of very little, if any, use to the average traveller. Other than the above modern trams, Istanbul has two short, separate '''heritage tram''' lines, which are more of attractions than practical transport options. Renovated trams dating back to the 1920s rattle along the [[Istanbul/Galata|İstiklal Street]] on the European side (T2 or NT), while on the [[Istanbul/Asian Side|Asian side]], a circular system between Kadıköy and the nearby Moda district is served by 1960s streetcars imported from Germany (T3). Tram lines are run by Metro Istanbul. ===By boat=== [[File:IstanbulFerry2009.jpg|thumb|Istanbul liner crossing the Bosphorus]] [[File:Larus in Turkey.jpg|thumb|Istanbul gull at [[Istanbul/Princes' Islands|the Princes' Islands]]. They can be commonly seen flying in droves alongside the local ferries, receiving treats such as ''simit'' from the passengers.]] Unique Istanbul liners (large conventional ferry boats), sea-buses (high speed catamarans), or mid-sized private ferries travel between the European and Asian sides of the city. The crossing takes about 20 minutes and costs 3 TL, and gives great views of the Bosphorus. ''Sometimes the ferry when arriving at a dock can bounce off the pier accidentally, even on calm days. This can cause people to fall over if they are standing up, so it is advisable to remain seated until the ferry has come to an absolute stop.'' In Istanbul, liners from any given pier generally take only a certain route, and these piers are signposted as according to the destination. For instance, [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] alone has more than 5 piers (including the ones used by ferries other than liners), so if you should head for, say, [[Istanbul/Asian Side|Üsküdar]], you should take the ferry which departs from ''Üsküdar İskelesi''. Replace 'Üsküdar' with the destination of your choice. [http://ido.com.tr Istanbul liners] travel on the following routes: * Karaköy–Haydarpaşa–Kadıköy * Kadıköy–Eminönü * Üsküdar–Eminönü * Üsküdar–Karaköy–Eminönü–Eyüpsultan (The Golden Horn Route) * Kadıköy–Besiktaş * Kabatas–Uskudar–Harem * Istinye–Emirgan–Kanlıca–Anadolu Hisarı–Kandilli–Bebek–Arnavutköy–Çengelköy (The Whole Bosphorus Route) * Anadolu Kavağı–Rumeli Kavağı–Sariyer * Eminönü–Kavaklar (Special Bosphorus Tour, Recommended For Tourists) * Sirkeci–Adalar–Yalova–Cınarcık (The Princes' Islands Route) Furthermore, the '''sea-buses''' (''deniz otobüsü'') follow the same (or more) routes, usually much faster than liners. Returning to Yenikapı from Kadıköy by '''sea-bus''' is a fast and convenient way to cross the Bosphorus; at Yenikapı you can change to numerous urban rail routes. Four main '''private ferry''' routes for travelling between Asia and Europe sides are: * Besiktaş–Üsküdar * Kabataş–Üsküdar ''(close to tram and funicular system in Kabataş)'' * Eminönü–Üsküdar ''(close to tram in Eminönü)'' * Eminönü–Kadıköy ''(close to tram in Eminönü)'' There is also a Golden Horn boat line, starting from Eyüpsultan and ending in the Asian Side, Üsküdar, passing through notable touristic places like Balat, Fener, Cibali and Karaköy. Although the trip takes around an hour to complete, the boat ride is quite enjoyable with beautiful scenery of the Golden Horn. The boats arrive in the stations only once every hour though, if you plan on taking this boat you should time it well. All of the ferries, including private ones, can be paid for using the ''AKBIL/Istanbulkart'' system. Very useful are the fast ferryboats (travelling at 55 km/h) running from several points, such as the Yenikapi–[[Yalova]] one, that allows you (with a connecting bus in Yalova) to be in [[Bursa]] centre in less than three hours. Prices are marginally higher and the gain in time is considerable, though the view is not as nice. There are also cheaper BUDO ferry lines from Eminönü to [[Mudanya]], the port for [[Bursa]]. From there you can take a bus to the Bursa city centre. ===By bus=== Public transportation buses are either run or inspected by [http://www.iett.istanbul/en İETT]. Public buses in Istanbul come in many colours and shapes, but the most important thing to keep in mind is that ticket sales on board have completely been phased out, so you will have to obtain one (or an '''İstanbulkart''', which is accepted on all public transport methods) prior to boarding the bus. Istanbul's heavily used BRT system, locally called ''Metrobüs'', are served by long hybrid buses running on their special lanes along the city's inner beltway, separated from all other traffic and thus saving lots of time in Istanbul's generally congested roads. While an extremely important transport option for the locals, the system covers areas not usually visited by the travellers, between Beylikdüzü in the far [[Istanbul/Western Suburbs|western suburbs]] of the city and Kadıköy on the [[Istanbul/Asian Side|Asian Side]] via Bakırköy, Cevizlibağ outside the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|old city walls]] near the Topkapı Gate, the business district in [[Istanbul/New City|Mecidiyeköy]], and the Bosphorus Bridge. Most bus lines operate roughly 06:00-23:59, usually with a reduced volume of services after 22:00. Some lines between major centres operate 24/7 though, as is the ''Metrobüs'', with about an hour intervals. After midnight, buses cost ''two'' tickets per person rather than the usual one. '''Night Time Bus Lines''': : A double check from İETT website is strongly recommended. *TH-1 Taksim - Atatürk Airport (does not operate between 01:00 - 04:00) *40 Taksim Square–Rumelifeneri/Garipçe *E10 Kadikoy–Sabiha Gokcen International Airport *15F Kadikoy–Beykoz *130 Kadikoy–Tuzla *34A Sogutlucesme(Kadikoy)–Edirnekapi (Metrobus) *34 Avcilar–Zincirlikuyu (Metrobus) As a tourist, you are most likely to use the tram and the metro in the Sultanahmet and Taksim area since there are no bus lines operating in the area anymore. Buses and streetcars tend to be very crowded during rush hours, especially on Mondays and Fridays. That can also create opportunities for pickpockets. ===By taxi=== Taxis are an easy and cheap way to get around. Start off rate is 4 TL and then 2.5 TL for each km afterwards (Feb 2019). Distances up to 2½ km are subject to a fixed price of 10 TL, after that distance the meters track at the above rates. A one-way travel from [https://taksiyle.com/en/istanbul-taksim-square-sultanahmet-T9TEMZ Taksim Square to Sultanahmet] {{dead link|December 2020}} costs approximately 20 TL. Tipping is generally unnecessary. Frequently, drivers will refuse to start the meter and try to negotiate a fixed price (e.g. 80 TL for a short trip from Yenikapı ferry terminal to Sultanahmet, to which should cost less than 20 TL). You should avoid these cabs and take another one as you will almost certainly end up paying too much. To be sure, before getting in, just ask "how much to go to ...?" (most of the drivers understand basic English) since the price they tell then is quite accurate. Tell them then to put the taximeter on. Drivers do normally work with the taximeter, so they will not be surprised at all when you ask them to put it on. The price at the end will be quite close to the one they tell you at the beginning. '''There is no extra fare at night.''' If you have internet connection on your laptop or mobile device, always use [https://taksiyle.com/en/istanbul Istanbul Taxi Fare Calculator] just before taking a taxi from airport, hotel or restaurant. It will help you to easily estimate taxi fare based on pick-up and drop-off locations anywhere in Istanbul, give an outline about the journey and avoid potential taxi scams. Even when agreeing to take you on the meter, taxis in Istanbul have several dodges to catch the unwary traveller. The meter is often situated right in front of the gear stick and drivers somehow manage to advance the meter while changing gear. Not putting the meter back to the starting rate, i.e. adding your fare to the previous one, is also common. Taxis that wait near a bus station or at Yenikapı ferry terminal are usually a tourist trap. They start the meter but charge you 20 TL at least. Emphasize to the driver that you will pay for the meter price before getting in. Do not buy their quick-sell tricks. Always try to stop a taxi that is passing by on the road or find a legitimate taxi stop. Insist on going to the destination that you want because some drivers are paid a commission each time they deliver someone to a certain hotel, restaurant, shop, etc. Istanbul taxis are colored yellow or maroon. The yellow taxis' license plates start with 34 T and maroon ones start with 34 M. Yellow taxis are more common, as the maroon ones work mainly around western suburbs. They can not pick travelers from yellow taxis' region and vice versa. Be careful of what notes you hand them for payment; some drivers have tried to pretend that the 50 TL note that was handed was just a 5 TL note. Occasionally taxi drivers may actually also rip notes you give them, and tell you it is no good, in order to make you hand them a 50 TL note. So, make sure the notes are not ripped, and is actually the right one before you hand them over. Also, if you are not familiar with the city the taxi driver may drive a detour in order to charge you more. The major '''ride-hailing''' companies are [https://www.uber.com/en-TR/cities/istanbul/ Uber], [http://www.bitaksi.com/en/ Bitaksi] (the cheapest so far), and [https://itaksi.com/en/ iTaksi] (the most expensive one, also a lot of people complain about its cheating drivers). You can only access Uber through a VPN on your phone as the app is banned in Turkey. A ride-hailing driver may ask you to cancel the ride and pay in cash instead. It's better to refuse, because even if you verbally agree on a price based on the app, the driver can pretend there was a miscommunication and argue for a higher price. Traffic can be very bad, it can take an hour for a few kilometers through the old city. You might be better off taking the metro out of the old city and then a taxi from there. Some important routes with distances and estimated taxi fares are: * Istanbul New Airport (IST) - Taxim Square ~ 44 km * Istanbul New Airport (IST) - Sultanahmet Square (Old City) ~ 47 km * Taxim Square - Sultanahmet (Old City) ~ 5.5 km * Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW) - Kadikoy (Chalcadonia) Ferry Terminal ~ 36 km * Esenler (Bus Terminal) - Topkapı Palace (Sultanahmet) ~ 10.5 km ===By shared taxi=== '''Dolmuş''' (Turkish: "full") is a shared taxi, travelling on a fixed route, which costs more than a city autobus but less than a normal taxi. They can carry up to 8 passengers and may only take cash. They carry a ''Dolmuş'' sign on top. They will only start driving when all eight seats are full, which is also where the name derives from. The main and most important routes for dolmuşes are : * Taksim–Eminönü (Taksim stop, near the Atatürk Cultural Centre, in Taksim square) * Taksim–Kadıköy * Taksim–Bostanci * Taksim–Aksaray (Taksim stop, Tarlabasi Avenue, close to Taksim square) * Kadıköy–Bostanci (Bostanci stop, in front of the Bostanci ferry port) * Taksim–Tesvikiye (Taksim stop, in front of Patisserie Gezi, in Taksim square) * Beşiktaş–Nisantasi (Beşiktaş stop, in front of the Beşiktaş - Üsküdar ferry port) * Kadıköy–Üsküdar (Üsküdar stop, Near the Üsküdar - Beşiktaş and Üsküdar - Kabataş ferry port) If you want the driver to make a stop, you can say ''İnecek var.'' (EE-neh-djek war! -- Someone's getting out.) or ''Müsait bir yerde.'' (mU-sa-EEt bir yer-deh. -- At a convenient spot.) ===By bicycle=== İsbike docked bikes are very cheap to rent. However, if the İsbike smartphone app, website and machines do not accept your foreign credit card you may not be able to rent the bikes without first obtaining the personalized mavi (blue) İstanbulkart described above. Alternatively if you have a Turkish friend they may be willing to accept the deposit on their card, as it is only 50TL blocked for a few days per bike as of 2019. Although the smartphone app is in English as well as Turkish it can sometimes be confusing for tourists. For example it only tells you the number of empty docking slots for each station: so presumably locals know the total number of slots and thus whether enough bikes are available before going to their starting docking station. ==See== [[File:Hagia Sophia Mars 2013.jpg|thumb|Hagia Sofia]] [[File:AhmetCamii Silhouette.JPG|thumb|Sultan Ahmet Mosque at dusk]] [[File:Turkey, istanbul, basilica cistern.jpg|thumb|Basilica cistern, built by the Romans]] ===Museum Pass=== The Turkish government offers a [https://muze.gen.tr/ museum pass] for many sights and museums, and key spots on Sultanahmet, for 325 TL. The pass can be bought at the entrance of every museum listed below or [https://muze.gen.tr/ online]. Check out what is included, and buy it if it makes sense for you. Numerous sights can still be seen for free and the biggest joy is probably just walking around and sucking in the atmosphere. The non-transferable pass allows one free entry to each of these museums: * Topkapı Palace and Harem * Hagia Irene * Istanbul Archaeological Museums * Istanbul Mosaic Museum * Museum for the History of Science and Technology in Islam * Museum of Turkey and Islamic Arts * Galata Mevlevi House Museum * Yildiz Palace * Rumeli Hisar Museum * Galata Tower (Galata Kulesi Museum) In addition to saving money when visiting these sites, the card allows you to skip the queue for tickets and go straight to the gates at some sites (Galata Tower is the notable exception). Most museums in Istanbul are ''closed on Mondays or Wednesdays'', so checking the website first or ringing is a sensible option before setting off. Alternatively, you can consider buying the much more expensive '''[https://www.istanbultouristpass.com/whats-included Istanbul Tourist Pass]''', 2-day pass costs €95, 3-day pass €115, 5-day pass €135, 7-day pass €145 (April 2019). It includes entrance to all of the above museums, a couple of boat tours, three days mobile internet, and even a one-way discounted Istanbul airport transfer (€20). However, it consistently receives negative reviews due to bad organisation and intermittent problems with accessing some of its included services. ===Sights=== With its long history at the centre of empires, Istanbul offers a wealth of historic and religious places to take in. The bulk of these ancient monuments, dating back to the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman periods, including the '''Hagia Sophia''', '''Topkapı Palace''', '''Sultanahmet Mosque''' (''Blue Mosque''), and the '''Basilica Cistern''' are around [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Sultanahmet Square]], while some others are dispersed throughout the peninsula of the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|old city]], such as the former '''Church of the Holy Saviour in Chora''' (''Kariye Camii''), the entire inside of which is covered by mindblowing frescoes and mosaics. An impressive section of the mostly intact '''[[Istanbul#Theodosian Walls Walk|Theodosian walls]]''', which mark the full length of the western boundary of the peninsula, is right next to this particular church. North of the old city, across the Golden Horn, is [[Istanbul/Galata|Galata]], crowned by the '''Galata Tower'''. '''Istanbul Modern''', with its exhibitions of contemporary Turkish art, is on the nearby waterfront of Karaköy. Another sight of the district, just north of the Tower, is the museum converted from the '''Dervish Hall''' of the Sufi ''Mevlevi'' order — those interested in the teachings of Rumi will particularly be entertained here. Further north is '''Istiklal Avenue''', Istanbul's prominent pedestrian street running from near the Galata Tower to Taksim Square, the central square of the city. Heading west from the old city brings you deeper into the banks of the [[Istanbul/Golden Horn|Golden Horn]] estuary. A neighbourhood perhaps well worth a visit here is Eyüpsultan, to visit the city’s '''holiest Islamic shrine''' and, with all the religious people wandering around the narrow cobblestone streets in their turbans and other traditional outfits, just to see what the '''daily life in Ottoman Istanbul''' might be like. On the opposite shores of the Horn, in Sütlüce is '''Miniaturk''', the first miniature park in the city, with models from around the former Ottoman Empire. North of Taksim Square is [[Istanbul/New City|New Istanbul]], the main business district of the city. If venturing out to this direction, it's worth checking out the '''Military Museum''', where Ottoman military music concerts (''Mehter'') are held every afternoon. Most of the '''skyscrapers''' of the city are located in the north of this district, around Levent and Maslak, with a totally different skyline from that of the old city. However the southern reaches of the very same district has some fine '''neo-classical''' and '''Art Nouveau buildings''' from the turn of the 20th century, around the neighbourhoods of Osmanbey, Kurtuluş, and Nişantaşı. Just east from here, slopping down to the shore, is the banks of the [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Bosphorus]], lined by pleasant neighbourhoods full of '''waterfront mansions''' (''yalı'') and a number of waterside '''palaces''' where you can admire what money could buy in times gone by. Across the Bosphorus to the east is the [[Istanbul/Asian Side|Asian Side]], centred around the historic districts of Kadıköy and Üsküdar, and perhaps best symbolized by the '''Maiden’s Tower''', at about the halfway between these districts, on an islet just offshore. The Bosphorus and Marmara coasts of this half of the city are characterized by quite '''picturesque neighbourhoods''', overlooked by '''Çamlıca Hill''', one of the highest hills of the city affording a large panorama, with a café and a pleasant park on its summit. Southeast of the city, off the southern coast of the Asian Side are the [[Istanbul/Princes' Islands|Princes' Islands]], an archipelago of nine car-free islands, characterized by stunning '''wooden mansions''' and '''pine groves'''. Beginning from the 2010s, many visitors to the city have wanted their trip to include, or have even devoted their whole trip to, the locations where their favourite '''Turkish drama series''' were shot. See [[Turkish TV series tourism]] for an in-depth discussion. ===Tulips=== [[File:Carpet of tulips.jpg|thumb|A carpet of tulips, purported to be the world's largest, blooms in late April in Sultanahmet]] '''Tulips''' were long ignored for their association with the 18th-century Tulip era, a period of ostentation and costly parties thrown by the Ottoman elite amidst large gardens full of tulips (and also when the first bulbs were introduced to the [[Netherlands]] from Istanbul), which was later seen as one of the reasons for the financial weakening and eventual dissolution of the empire. However, as the 21st century arrived, tulips have made a significant comeback, regaining much of their former popularity and now serve as a symbol for both Istanbul and Turkey. Depending on the cultivar, they bloom from late March to early May; pick April for the best views. While they can be seen at the sides or the central strip of many avenues of the city wherever there is enough space, for truly enjoying large patches of tulips with relatively exotic varieties, head to Sultanahmet Park and Gülhane Park in [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Sultanahmet]], Emirgan Park in the northern [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Bosphorus]] neighbourhood of Emirgan or Çamlıca Hill in the [[Istanbul/Asian Side|Asian Side]]. ==Do== * '''Hamam''' &ndash; [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City#Hamams|Sultanahmet]] has many historical hamams. Some are very extravagant and cater mainly to tourists. * '''Waterpipe''' &ndash; Most of the places where you can smoke a nargile are in Yeniçeriler Caddesi, near the Kapalı Çarşı (Grand Bazaar). Çorlulu Ali Paşa and Koca Sinan Paşa Türbesi are both in secluded internal courts, just around the corner from some tomb yards, while Rumeli Kahvesi is actually inside the cemetery of an old medrese, though it’s not as spooky as you might think. In the south of Sultanahmet, near the sea, is Yeni Marmara (Çayıroğlu Sokak), where you can also sit in the terrace and enjoy the view. In Beyoğlu, at the Ortakahve (Büyükparmakkapı), there’s even the choice of a wide range of flavors. Another area with few big good looking places is the Rıhtım Caddesi, between Galata bridge and Istanbul Modern Museum. ===Walking tours=== Museums and such: Haghia Sophia, then on to the Topkapı museum (these two should take at least three to five hours), preferably along the road in the back of the Haghia Sophia, where there are some nicely restored houses. Then on to the Blue Mosque and the square with the obelisks on it (At Meydani). Along its side is the very good Museum of Islam Art. Descend slightly and find the small Haghia Sophia with its nice garden (it was under restoration, but you probably can get in). Then uphill to the Sokollu Mehmet mosque complex, top notch tiles inside. Take a tram or walk to Eminönü (where the boats leave for trips to Asia or up the Bosphorus). Visit the New Mosque at the back, then the Egyptian Bazaar next to it, and going further in that direction, locate the Rüstem Pasha mosque with its excellent tiles. It's on a raised platform near an old clothes market, you may have to ask directions. Then take a cab or find a bus to Eyüpsultan mosque complex, a mile or three up the Golden Horn. Visit this Eyüpsultan complex at your leisure (the mosque is not particular, the court is, and the milling of believers, with many boys-to-be-circumcised among it; a Friday might be a good day to do this). Then, if you have the stamina, it might be nice to walk back too; maybe all the way (8 km or so), but taking a route along part of the city wall to first the famous Kariye Church with its mosaics, then on to Selimiye Mosque with its great view on the Golden Horn (and a fine mosque by itself), then the Fatih Mosque (passing through some very religious and lively neighborhoods), then on to the well-restored Sehzade mosque, and next to Süleymaniye (don't forget to enjoy the view from the Golden Horn side). If you have some energy left, you might go on to the University complex, and by then you are very close to the Beyazit mosque. A book market (it’s small) is behind this good, unexceptional (nice courtyard though) mosque. Once again go to Eminönü, but this time take the boat (those large ferries) to Üsküdar. You will arrive before a fine mosque in front, another one 400 m off to the right, slightly inland behind a traffic roundabout, and a third, very small, at the sea front. See the market stretching inland, walk about and don't forget to walk along the shore, maybe eating a fish meal in one of the bobbing boats along it. This is a good visit for late afternoon, early evening, fleeing the city. You will be joined by thousands of people going home from "town" but the way back will be on a near-empty ferry. The frequency of ferries will go down in the evening, so make sure there is a connection back. Go to the railroad station and find a Sirkeci-Halkali suburban train, and get out at (from memory, Yedikule station). You will be quite close to Yedikule, a nice fortress, and will have fine views of the city walls. The trains leave every 15 minutes or so, the ride is peculiar (the material is bad, but if you are in luck every second stop another salesman will enter and try selling his wares, it’s fun). The ride is takes anywhere from twenty minutes to half an hour. This is not a "must", but it can be great fun. You will have missed the covered bazaar in all this. That is because you will get there anyhow. If you go to Beyazit and the book market you are almost at two of its many entrances. Try and find the Nuruosmaniye Mosque and its complex at the other side, it’s worth it. And after having explored the covered part, take a relaxing walk downhill, into the general direction of Eminönü, where it is "uncovered bazaar" all the way. Cross the Galata bridge to see some things on the Northern side (for instance take the "tünel" teleferik ride up much of the hill (entrance close to the opposite side of Galata bridge, ask around)), then continue to Taksim. Shops are of the international variety. ====Theodosian Walls Walk==== [[File:Car bed kap deu2.jpg|thumb|A restored section of the city walls at the Belgradkapı gate, close to the Marmara coast]] From 408 CE the original walls of Constantine were replaced in the reign of Theodosius. These walls then became the critical point of defence of the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire and their Ottoman successors. They are still almost completely intact, marking the western border of [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|the peninsula of Old City]], with some sections suffering from somewhat unsightly restoration done in early 1990s. The section around the Topkapı Gate (not to be confused with Topkapı Palace which is located in an altogether different place) can be easily accessed from Pazartekke tram station, which lies about 300 m east of the walls. Some remoter sections may not be very safe and may require some caution. A 7-km walk along and on these remaining portions of the city wall offers a window into antiquity and puts emphasis on Turkey’s terrible historic monument legacy. Download and print a scholarly historical and technical description of the walls before you visit Istanbul; this will certainly add to the pleasure. From Eminönü, take the [[Istanbul/Golden Horn|Golden Horn]] ferry to Ayvansaray. This ferry terminal is separate from the [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Bosphorus]] terminals adjacent and east of the Galata Bridge. Walk west through the Galata bridge underpass, then through the bus station to a pedestrian lane way which leads to the small terminal building. The fare is 1.50 TL. Leave the ferry at Ayvansaray and cross the park to the wall on the other side of the main road. You have a choice of walking up the outer wall or the inner wall but access to the top of the battlements is usually on the inside naturally enough, so go up the small street across the road which then cuts back behind the wall and the towers. Here you can climb up onto this section of unrestored wall on crumbling brick and stone and continue on some hundreds of yards climbing as necessary. This path comes to an obvious end and one can short cut back to the street. Sometimes there are dwellings and commercial enterprises hard up against the wall, sometimes a bus depot, a rubbish dump or often just the road. These walls replaced the earlier walls of Constantine in 408 CE after which they went through constant upgrade and repairs to earthquake damage. The different work done over the centuries was all of varying style and quality. Quite surprisingly there are a number of small streets still using the narrow gates. At Hoca Çakır Cd one comes across a restored section of the wall where the heights are accessed by stairs (junction of Hoca Çakır Caddesi and Kariye Bostani Sokak), some along the top of the wall of the steeper variety. This restoration from the 1980s is in conflict with the original. The wall is then breached for the main road Fevzi Paşa Cd. Cross this and continue along the street at the back of the wall. Look for foot pads and breaks in the wall which allows access and a good look around. The wall is breached again for Adnan Menderes Blv (unofficially and widely known as ''Vatan Caddesi''). Past here one see here quite clearly the double line of defence with outer moat. The next breach is for Turgut Özal Cd (unofficially and widely known as ''Millet Caddesi'') which hosts the tram line heading back to Sultanahmet for those who have run out of steam. Walking now on the outside of the walls, various breaks in the outer wall allow access via broken stonework or later via modern sets of steps in disrepair. Between the walls is the disquieting evidence of the number of people sleeping rough in Istanbul. Persevere in staying between the walls because soon you will arrive at another impure restoration project at Mevlanakapı Cd gate. Entry to the gate towers has been closed at the gate, so entry is only from the walls. From here it is better to proceed on the outside of the walls because market gardens occupy the moat and the city side abuts buildings. These couple of kilometres will give a further perspective of the ravages of time and earthquake on the walls. Finally you will arrive at the Golden Gate and [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City#Yedikule Fortress|Yedikule Fortress]] which fronts the Marmara Sea and was Byzantium’s triumphal point of entry. This is in excellent condition not least because the Ottomans upgraded it and then used it right up to the 19th century. There is an entry fee and it has a toilet. The high walls and towers are all accessible, and one tower still has internal wooden floors. So you have now surveyed the protective land walls which kept Byzantium and the Eastern Roman Empire safe for all those years after the fall of Rome, breached only by the 4th Crusaders and the Ottomans. What of their future? Given that recent restoration work is fairly suspect scholars may think it is better to leave them be. Now return to the city either in the Eminönü Bus (#80) from the village square outside the main gate, just wait there, or walk down Yedikule Istasyonu Cd about 300 m to the railway line to Sirkeci, both heading for centres close to Sultanahmet. ===The classic Bosphorus cruise=== [[File:Istanbul at Night-2.jpg|thumb|Night View of the '''15 July Martyrs''' Bridge]] From the terminal at Eminou, the public ferry starts immediately east of the Galata Bridge starts the large public ferry cruising to Anadolu Kavagi at the northern entrance of [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Bosphorus]] to the [[Black Sea]] via various stops. The fare is 50 TL (round trip) on the public ferry, Sehir Hatlari. The departure time is early (around ~10:20am) and is very popular, so arrive early and queue for a ticket (the ferry does not wait for people late to arrive to buy tickets). Touts for private ferry operators often attempt to sell alternative ferry tickets. They will attempt various tactics to make you feel uncomfortable, such as shifting the public ferry ticket office line to be in the hot sun and telling you that full cruise will waste a day of your stay in Istanbul. This is generally a scam, they will charge an extortionate rate, or a cheaper rate followed by an extortionate return fee. Note that the public ferry offers no audio commentary at all, it is very barebones and on you to spot sights of significance. The public ferry does not offer toilet paper and the washroom is generally in a deplorable state; you will need to bring your own toilet paper if needed and potentially wait in line for a great deal of time if you plan to use the washroom. There are various other private ferry companies offering various cruises. Compared to the public ferry, they will typically charge significantly higher prices but may offer audio commentary via a loudspeaker, a washroom with toilet paper or have a shorter line. The private ferries almost exclusively offer the short Bosphorus tour. The open decks are hugely popular on the weekends, so unless you have an outside seat expect people to be standing all around you constricting the view. The ferry waits some hours in Anadolu Kavagi so as you alight you are confronted by a numerous restaurants and their spruikers. Firstly, if you are wearing shoes with good grip (i.e. not sandals or open toed shoes), take the walk to the Yoros Kalesi, a strategic castle overlooking and controlling the entry to the Black Sea. The area can genuinely be dangerous and hazardous without good shoes. This important fortification with a commanding view has been fought over for many years and was last in use in the 19th century. It has fallen into serious disrepair, but Christian engravings are still visible in the stonework. It has a spectacular view of the mouth of the Black Sea. There are restaurants actually in the castle surrounds, such as Yoros Cafe, and naturally have spectacular views but mediocre food and service. There is plenty of time left to wander back to the village for lunch. It is late afternoon before arrival back at Eminonu, but a day well spent. A cheaper and faster Bosphorus cruise alternative is a 24-TL trip on a shorter cruise. ===Association football=== Istanbul has five clubs playing in the Süper Lig, the top tier of Turkish association football: Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, Başakşehir and Kasımpaşa. The first three have always been in the top tier and have international reputations. Matches between these sides are played in front of fiercely partisan sell-out crowds; getting tickets requires booking way in advance. As the atmosphere is extremely hostile to the away teams, spectators should avoid wearing away team colours after the match, and avoid any signs of crowd trouble. Beşiktaş JK play at Vodafone Park, a 41,903-capacity stadium. It's on the European bank of the Bosphorus next to Dolmabahçe Palace, 1 km east of Taksim metro station. Fenerbahçe SK play at the 47,834-capacity Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium (also called ''Ülker Stadium''). It's on the Asian bank of the Bosphorus, 1 km east of Kadıköy metro station and ferry quay. Galatasaray SK play at the 52,332-capacity Türk Telekom Stadium on the north edge of European Istanbul, take metro to Seyrantepe. Başakşehir FK play at the 17,319-capacity Fatih Terim stadium. It's a long way out on the northwest edge of the city, 1 km north of Metrokent station on line M3. Kasımpaşa SK play at the 14,234-capacity Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium, in Beyoğlu district just north of the Golden Horn. It's named for the current Turkish President, who grew up nearby and played football in his youth. The Turkish national stadium is Atatürk Olympic Stadium (''Atatürk Olimpiyat Stadı''), a 76,000-capacity arena at the western edge of the city, use either Olimpiyat or Olimpiyat Parkı metro station. It doesn't have a resident team, but several clubs have had spells here when their own stadium was unavailable. There are plans to expand it to 92,000 capacity by removing the running track, but this would end its Olympic prospects. ==Learn== Many foreigners visiting or living in Istanbul decide to study Turkish formally in a language school. Some of the biggest and most respected Turkish language schools in Istanbul are: * [http://www.iti-istanbul.com/ '''ITI Istanbul'''] in 4.Levent. * [http://dilmer.com/ '''Dilmer'''] in Gümüşsuyu . * [http://iladil.com/ '''Iladil''' ] in Fatih. * [http://tomer.ankara.edu.tr/taksim-subesi/ '''Tömer'''], Ankara University affiliated. * [http://turkishcourses.com '''Concept Languages'''] in Etiler. * '''[http://boun.edu.tr/index_eng.html Boğaziçi University]'''. Runs a summer long intensive Turkish language course for all levels. Both Boğaziçi University and [http://bilgi.edu.tr/ Bilgi University] have well established '''Study Abroad''' programs in English for foreigners. '''TEFL:''' Many foreigners living in Istanbul support themselves by [[teaching English]]. Finding a good teaching job is usually easier with a well-recognized certificate like the ones listed below: * '''[http://www.iti-istanbul.com ITI Istanbul]''' in 4. Levent runs Cambridge University's CELTA and DELTA courses year-round ===Ottoman Turkish=== If you already speak Turkish, '''[[:wikipedia:Ottoman Turkish language|Ottoman Turkish]]''' may also be interesting to learn. Ottoman Turkish was the courtly form of Turkish spoken during the era of the Ottoman Empire, and is significantly different to the form of Turkish spoken today. Approximately 80% of Ottoman Turkish words were loanwords from other languages, mostly Arabic, Persian and French. After the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, language reforms were implemented, including the establishment of the ''Türk Dil Kurumu'' (Turkish Language Association), which is the official regulatory body of the Turkish language. This association, with a philosophy of linguistic purism, decided to cleanse the Turkish language of loanwords and replace them with more Turkic alternatives. As such, only about 14% of modern Turkish words are of foreign origin. Ottoman Turkish is the key to learning about Turkey's Ottoman past. With Ottoman Turkish, not only can you read historical archives, but you can also read Ottoman literature and letters dated back to the Ottoman period. In Istanbul, you can learn Ottoman Turkish from the following places: *'''İsmek''' [[Tel:+90 212 531 01 41|+90 212 531 01 41]] İskenderpaşa Mahallesi, Ahmediye Caddesi, Hacı Salih Efendi Sokak, 6 Fatih. *'''[http://tarihvakfi.org.tr/ Tarih Vakfı]''' [[Tel:+90 212 522 02 02|+90 212 522 02 02]] Zindankapı Değirmen Sokak, 15 Eminönü. ==Work== There is always a high demand for qualified - and, to a lesser extent, unqualified - ESOL/EFL teachers in Istanbul. Many teachers work with private instructional companies. Others contract out on a freelance basis. Istanbul is Turkey's financial capital. All big investment banks, commercial banks, large foreign retail and consumer companies have offices in Istanbul. The business district has been coming up with high-rise buildings and business centers in the last decade. ==Buy== [[File:Grand bazaar.jpg|thumb|The Grand Bazaar during Republic Day]] ===Money=== Euro and US dollar are accepted at places frequented by tourists. Although, certain tourist attractions such as the Hagia Sophia only accept liras. Currency exchanges (''döviz bürosu'') and banks are plentiful in Istanbul and offer extremely competitive exchange rates. If you are planning to visit Istanbul, bring hard foreign currency and exchange them after you arrive (not at the airport!), preferably at a bank or a currency exchange. Exchange rates at the airport are terrible, only in the city you well get excellent rates with a sell-buy-spread of about 1-2%. All major currencies are accepted as well, but rates are not that excellent. Exchange leftover lira directly before leaving, in many foreign countries it can be hard to get rid of them at a proper rate. ===Shopping=== Connecting east and west, the will to control the major trading routes was the reason why Istanbul was founded in the first place, so shopping should definitely not be overlooked in your Istanbul experience. Shops may be closed on Sundays. Most major shopping malls have security checkpoints you usually see in airports and museums prior to entry. ====What==== Here are some of what are popular to buy while in the city: * '''Turkish Delight''', or Lokum (as the locals call it) &ndash; A good buy since you're in Turkey. It is advisable to buy it fresh rather than in pre-packed boxes and to get a variety of flavours rather than the stereotypical rose-water or lemon flavors available abroad. Pistachio in particular is very good. The best place to buy lokum in Istanbul is from a store. Istiklal Caddesi in particular features a number of stores that sell Turkish sweets by the kilogram including lokum and helvah. There are quite a few shops selling Turkish Delight in the Grand Bazaar, although unless you are very good at haggling better prices can be found elsewhere. * '''Turkish Tea''' (çay, ''chai'') &ndash; The national drink of Turkey, brewed from leaves grown on the steep, verdant mountain slopes of Turkey's eastern Black Sea coast. Traditionally, Turkish tea is brewed samovar-style, with a small pot of very strong tea sitting on a larger vessel of boiling water. Pour a small amount of strong tea into a little tulip-shaped glass and cut it to the desired strength with hot water. Turks usually add cube sugar (never milk, although you can often get milk if you ask.) Having fresh, hot tea always available everywhere is one of life's splendid little luxuries in Turkey. Elma Çayı: apple tea, like hot apple juice (EHL-mah chah-yee) is the flavour of preference, although it's more for tourists; Turks prefer Siyah Çay (black tea). *'''Turkish Coffee''' Roasted and then finely ground coffee beans are boiled in a pot (cezve), usually with sugar, and served in a cup where the grounds are allowed to settle. A classic of Turkish culture. Some people use the remaining coffee grounds to tell their fortune. *'''Nargile''' (hookah) &ndash; It is a single or multi-stemmed instrument for smoking flavored tobacco called shisha in which the smoke is passed through a water basin (often glass based) before inhalation. Different sizes of nargile make it easier to carry one home with you. * '''Rugs and kilims''' &ndash; Can be a good buy while in the city. Most rug-specialized stores in the city, though, are aimed at tourist trade, so pick up basics of [[bargaining]] to avoid being ripped off at these stores. They are mostly located around [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Sultanahmet]]. * '''Chalcedony''' &ndash; A semi-precious gemstone named after the nearby town of Chalcedon, and is sold in many of Istanbul's multitude of jewellery shops. ====Where==== Istanbul's [https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2011/sep/06/istanbul Ottoman '''bazaars''']<!--If the link is against WV policies, please leave it hidden at least. So, editors can get an overview of the most important markets, and potentially create a more helpful overview for this chapter.--> with an oriental ambiance, once sitting firmly on the western terminii of the [[Silk Road]] and spice routes, are all located in the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City| peninsula of the Old City]]. Note, many are very touristy nowadays, and they are good for taking some nice pictures. But shopping should be only be done where the tourist-local ratio is very low, e.g. prices at the Spice Market (Eminönü) are twice or triple as high as in the rest of the city. On the other hand, '''modern shopping malls''' (''alışveriş merkezi'', usually shortened to ''AVM''), popping all around the city since the 1990s, are mostly to be found in [[Istanbul/New City|New Istanbul]] and the [[Istanbul/Western Suburbs|western suburbs]], though they are by no means exclusively located in these districts. If you are after top quality upmarket garments, then you may better head for [[Istanbul/New City|Nişantaşı]] in the European Side and [[Istanbul/Asian Side|Bağdat Avenue]] in the Asian Side. ==Eat== For individual restaurant listings, check [[Istanbul#Districts|district]] articles. ===Snacks=== [[File:Istanbul Fish Sandwiches.JPG|thumb|right|''Balık ekmek'' eatery on the waterfront of Eminönü]] * '''Meze''' Meze is basically Turkish version of tapas, served in small portions both hot&cold. Best place to eat meze would be "meyhane". * '''İskender''' Best version of Döner. It is basically döner served on a plate with a buttery tomato sauce on top and some plain yoghurt as a side. * '''Döner'''. Always a good option for having fast and cheap food. The entrance to Istiklal Street contains dozens of small doner restaurants and they serve almost around the clock; though for a better experience (and a better food quality) you may want to wander about in residential neighbourhoods, since anything near a commercial or tourist area can be highly overpriced and greatly reduced in quality. * '''Lahmacun''' It is "meat with dough", is a round, thin piece of dough topped with minced meat (most commonly beef and lamb) and minced vegetables and herbs including onions, tomatoes and parsley, then baked. Lahmacun is often served sprinkled with lemon juice and wrapped around vegetables, including pickles, tomatoes, peppers, onions, lettuce, and roasted eggplant; a typical variants may be found employing kebab meat or sauces. * ''' Dürüm''' a traditional Turkish wrap (which is made from lavash or yufka flatbread) that is filled with typical kebab or döner ingredients. * '''Balık-Ekmek'''. Balik-Ekmek (literally "fish and bread") is a fish sandwich served in small boats and little buffets in Eminönü. It is also increasingly popular in buffets in [[Istanbul/Asian Side|Kadıköy]] coast. A regular sandwich consists of one small fried fish, slices of tomatoes and onion. However, the taste is beyond expectations for such a basic menu. The price is around 8 TL. Again, it's a local favorite. * '''Hamsi'''. In Autumn and Winter the Black Sea Anchovy migrate through the Bosphorus, the local fishermen coming out in force to take advantage. All fish restaurants have them on the menu in season. It seems the classic serving is a handful of deep fried fish with raw onion and bread. Eat the fish whole, it's a winner. Look for the small restaurants behind the fish merchants on the Karakoy side of the Galata Bridge, western side. Expect to pay TL6. * '''Patso'''. Patso is a type of sandwich consisting of hot dog and French fries. It's usually served in small buffets along the Uskudar coast and a sandwich costs 2.50 TL. The cheap price can raise eyebrows but these buffets are open 24/7 and they serve around 1000 sandwiches per day. Even though the profit margin is low, they make a fortune, so they don't lower the quality too much (except hamburgers, don't touch those in Uskudar, but definitely try the spicy hamburgers in Taksim). * One thing not to be missed is the local '''ice cream''' sold at the street stands, called ''dondurma''. While flavors are relatively standard for the region, the ice cream usually incorporates orchid root extract, which gives it an incredibly chewy and stringy texture, also lending itself to be used for marketing and attracting attention while the sellers do tricks to try to sell the ice cream. Try it! *'''Kumpir''' is a snack which can easily be a full meal. It is originated from [[Albania]] but is quite unique to Istanbul in its present form. It consists of a baked potato with various fillings such as grated cheese, mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, sliced red cabbage, sweetcorn, sausage slices, carrots, mushrooms, and Russian salad among others, any of which can optionally be added to or omitted from the mix. While ''kumpir'' can be had at many cafes throughout the city, it is best had from one of the cafes in [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Ortaköy]], which have a long tradition of preparing ''kumpir'' and offer really filling and tasty ones. About 7-8 TL each. * '''Roasted chestnuts'''("kestane Kebap, as locals call it) are sold from carts around the city, and is a very nice snack to have when the weather is cold, as it keeps your hands warm. 20 TL for 100 g (as of June 2022). Eat in winter time. * '''Boiled and roasted corn on the cob''' is sold from carts around the city, and is a fantastic snack to walk around. Price varies from cart to cart and area of the city (1-1.5 TL). * Don't miss the''' "simit," '''a warm bread sold from carts around the city, and is a fantastic snack to walk around. The texture and taste is a bit like a sesame bagel. Price varies from cart to cart and area of the city (3-5 TL as of May 2022, with cream cheese being an extra 2-4 TL). Beware that not all simit vendors are honest and they will try and upcharge you (as high as 50-100TL). In this case, you should just walk away and find another vendor selling simit for less than 10 TL. * Also, be sure to try ''' ''Ayran,'' ''' a local drink based on yoghurt, although sour and much thinner. It isn't always on the menu or displayed, but it's there, so ask for it. * '''Freshly squeezed juice and juice blends''' are sold from stands and small shops all around the city, and are a refreshing treat (especially in the warmer months). The combinations range from a simple orange juice to the more rare options like pomegranate or kiwi. Price varies from shop to shop, area of the city and complexity of your order (2-4 TL). ==Drink== *'''[[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Bebek]]''' is a small town on the European Bosphorus, 10 km north of downtown, with fancy restaurants and bars. Great place to have a walk on the seaside after a nice dinner. *'''[[Istanbul/Asian Side |Bagdat Caddesi]]''' is a very long avenue full of good restaurants, boutiques and high-end stores on the south Anatolia side of Istanbul. *''' [[Karaköy]]''' is the rising star of the city, with its underground parties with views over the Marmara Sea. *'''[[Istanbul/Galata|Beyoğlu]]''' has lively night life, with cafes and bars with live music. *'''[[Istanbul/New City|Nişantaşı]]''' is the place for young entrepreneurs and artists, but prices are higher than in Taksim. *'''[[Istanbul/Asian Side|Kadıköy]]''' also has a nightlife scene, serving mostly locals of this part of the city. It's easy-going, with local pubs and wine houses and traditional meyhanes. * '''Nightclubs''' are found all over the city, but two of the hottest are in '''[[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Ortaköy]]'''. ==Sleep== In general, it is possible to find some kind of accommodation in any [[Istanbul#Districts|district]] of Istanbul. Here is a quick list of the districts where they are concentrated most: *'''[[Istanbul/New City|Harbiye]]''' is a popular place to stay, as in the main centre of the new city on the European side, and contains a variety of international standard apartments, hotels, and moderate hotels for budget travelers. Nişantaşı and Taksim are 5 minutes from Harbiye so you can stay in Harbiye and benefit from all activities in Nişantaşı and Taksim. *'''[[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]]''' is the main centre of the new city on the European side. Locals and tourists go to Taksim for shopping and entertainment, as well as moderate hotels for budget travelers. There are also two hostels in this area. *'''[[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Sultanahmet]]''' the main centre for the old city on the European side. It has a selection of quality, reasonably priced hotels, many with terraces overlooking the Golden Horn, or with views of the Marmara Sea and the Blue Mosque. Most hostel-type accommodation frequented by independent travellers are located in this district, although it is possible to find a few upmarket hotels. *Quite pricey hotels can be found in '''[[Istanbul/Western Suburbs|western suburbs]]''', especially around the airport, as well as on/overlooking the banks of '''[[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Bosphorus]]'''. *With the closure of relatively central Ataköy [[Car camping|caravan]] park, the place where you can tow your '''caravan''' nearest to the city is now located in Selimpaşa, a far outer [[Istanbul/Western Suburbs|western suburb]] of the city, though it is still a good 40&nbsp;km away from central parts of the city. ==Stay safe== * As with most European cities, but especially in crowded areas of Istanbul, watch your pockets and travel documents as '''pickpockets''' have devised all sorts of strategies to obtain them from you. Do not rely too much on the 'safe' feeling you get from the omnipresence of police. * If prices are not on display, always ask beforehand (even for a tea) instead of just ordering something like in Europe. This can be fatal in Istanbul because '''tourists are constantly overcharged'''. Unfortunately, often prices are not on display, like in sweet shops or even restaurants. Skip these places or ask for a price knowing what the approximate or fair price is. * Istanbul is home to three of the biggest clubs in Turkey and maybe European '''football''': Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe, and Galatasaray. It is advisable not to wear colours associating yourself with any of the clubs—black&white, navy&yellow, and red&yellow respectively, particularly on the days of matches between the sides due to the fearsome rivalry they share. * In Istanbul, most '''drivers''' won't abide any rules. Even if you have priority on a road junction, crosswalk, or even during green light, always be aware of your surroundings. Even if you are in a one way road, check both sides before crossing the road. It is common for Turkish drivers to use shortcuts. * A major '''earthquake''' with epicenter in the nearby Sea of Marmara is expected within the next few decades, so read the [[Earthquake safety|earthquake safety article here]] before you arrive. ===Scams=== '''Note''', most of the following summaries are already almost 10 years old. Turkey has changed a lot since then, due to modernization, political uproar, the war in Syria, and many other things. Nowadays, the situation is actually far less fierce as it may seem in these outlines. So, relax! Nevertheless, know and read about them, to be aware. The most important ones are the overpriced night clubs and bars, pickpocketing and overly friendly strangers. ====Blue Mosque scam "guides"==== When walking through the gates of the Blue Mosque, beware of smiling, friendly chaps who offer immediately to be your de-facto guide through the mosque and its surrounds; they'd be pretty informative on just about anything relating to the mosque; etiquette, history and Islamic practices. However, they eventually demand a price for their "services", a fee that can be as high as 50 TL. You would be better off booking a private tour online; or not at all, since the mosque is essentially free to all anyway. ====Restaurant scams==== A notable scam for convincing tourists to visit overpriced restaurants with mediocre food involves the following: While walking along, you are overtaken by a Turkish man who claims to recognize you from the hotel at which you are staying (e.g. he will tell you that he works there as a waiter or a receptionist). He will ask where you are going. If you are going out for food, he will recommend a restaurant, claiming that it is where he takes his family or friends when they eat out. He may give you some other advice (e.g. the best time to visit the Topkapi palace) to make the conversation feel genuine and friendly. The restaurant he recommends will almost certainly be mediocre or low quality, and the staff there will try to sell you expensive dishes without you realizing. For instance, they may promote dishes which are marked as 'MP' (market price) on the menu, such as 'salt fish' (fish baked in salt), which may cost over 100 TL. They may also serve you additional dishes which you haven't ordered and then add them to the bill for an additional 25-50 TL, together with extra charges for service and tax. One restaurant that seems to be using this scam to get customers is Haci Baba in Sultanahmet. ====Bar and club scams==== High-drink price [[scams]] encountered in so-called night-clubs mostly located in Aksaray, Beyazit and Taksim areas. These clubs usually charge overpriced bills, based on a replica of the original menu, or simply on the menu that had been standing upside down on the table. Two or three drinks can already produce a fantasy bill that easily exceeds 1,000 TL. Also be aware of friendly behaving groups of young men or male-female couples striking up a conversation in the street and inviting you to a "good nightclub they know". This has frequently been reported as a prelude to such a scam. The people in on the scam may offer to take you to dinner first, in order to lower your suspicions. Another way they will try to lure you in is by talking to you in Turkish, and when you mumble back in your language they will be surprised you're not Turkish and immediately will feel the urge to repay you for their accident with a beer. Another variant of this involves an invitation in Taksim to male tourists to buy them beer (as they were "guests"). At the club, attractive women, also with beers, join them. When the bill comes, the person inviting the tourists denies having said he would pay for the drinks, and a large bill is presented, e.g. for 1500 TL; when the tourists object, burly "security" personnel emerge to accompany the tourists to an ATM (presumably to clean out their bank account). Any bar that looks like it could be a strip club is more than likely a scam joint. In either of these scams, if you refuse to pay the high prices or try to call the police (dial #155) to file a complaint, the club managers may use physical intimidation to bring the impasse to a close. If you find yourself in such a situation for any reason, you should do whatever they want you to do, pay the bill, buy the things they are forcing you to buy, etc. Try to get out of the situation as soon as possible, go to a safe place and call the police. ====Metro Scams and Theft==== Each metro station has an insufficient amount of fare machines relative to their ridership, and only carry a handful of Istanbul cards. Scam artists camp out here (especially at Taksim Metro), offering to help you buy a ticket only to show you that the machine has run out of reusable metro cards. They will then ask you where you're from, and offer to sell you a card loaded with 100 TRY, for 100-125 TRY as a helpful gesture. When you commence your metro trip, you will learn that the card only contains half or a quarter of that amount. If the machine is not working, you should look for an authorized point of sale near the station, such as a shop or another machine, not the helpful stranger with a dozen cards for sale. These areas are also prone to pickpocketing because they are chaotic and frequented by tourists. The pickpocketing is generally unrelated to the scam artist operations. You should be especially careful to place your wallet in your front pocket here and to be mindful of your belongings. If someone touches you or places their hand on your shoulder at any point while in or near the Metro system, you are being pickpocketed and you should immediately turn in an unexpected direction, especially if you have belongings in your back pocket. To avoid these instances at the Taksim Metro where these issues are especially common, buy your tickets or Istanbul Card at the lone fare machine on the bus level. ====Water scams==== Also be wary of men in Taksim who splash water on the backs of your neck. When you turn around, they will try to start a fight with you as another man comes in and robs you. These men tend to carry knives and can be very dangerous. ====Lira/euro scams==== A frequent scam, often in smaller hotels (but it can also happen in a variety of other contexts), is to quote prices in lira and then later, when payment is due, claim the price was given in euros. Hotels which reject payment early in a stay and prefer you to "pay when you leave" should raise suspicions. Hotels which operate this scam often offer excellent service and accommodation at a reasonable price and know most guests will conclude as much and pay without complaint - thus this can be a sign of a good hotel. Another scam is coin-related and happens just as you're walking into the streets. A Turkish guy holds you and asks where you are from. If you mention a euro-country, the guy wants you to change a €50-note from you into €2-coins he is showing. He is holding the coins stack-wise in his hands. For the trouble, he says he will offer you '30 €2-coins, making €60 in total'. Do not agree with this exchange of money, as the first coin is indeed a €2-coin, but (many of) the rest of the coins will probably be 1-lira coins (looking very similar), but worth only 1/4 of the value of €2. Many bars in the Taksim area give you counterfeit bills. They are usually well-made and hard to identify as fakes in the dark. One way to verify a bill's authenticity is to check its size against another one. Another is to hold the bill up to a strong light, face side up, and check for an outline of the same face which is on the bill. The value of the bill (20, 50, etc.) should appear next to the outline, light and translucent. If either of these two security features are missing, try to have the bill changed or speak to the police. Some taxi drivers agree on a price only to tell you your lira bills are counterfeit, or invalid, or have a wrong serial number. This is a scam to have you paying in Euro or USD, usually for a much higher price since they'll claim they don't have change. ====Shoebrush==== Some men will walk around Taksim (or other tourist-frequented areas) with a shoeshine kit, and the brush will fall off. This is a scam to cause some Western tourist with a conscience to pick it up and return it to the owner, who will then express gratitude and offer to shine your shoes for free. While doing that, he will talk about how he is from another city and how he has a sick child. At the end, the shiner will demand a much higher price for the "free" services provided than is the actual market norm. A similar trick is to ask for a cigarette and proceed similarly. If you actively decide that you would like your shoes shined, then expect to pay not more than 5 TL for both. ====Taxi drivers==== Taxis are plentiful in Istanbul and inexpensive by Western European and American standards. They can be picked up at taxi hubs throughout the city or on the streets. Empty cabs on the streets will honk at pedestrians to see if they would like a ride, or cabs can be hailed by pedestrians by making eye contact with the driver and waving. Few taxi drivers speak languages other than Turkish, but do a fair job at deciphering mispronounced location names given by foreign riders. It is advisable to have the name of the destination written down and try to have a map beforehand to show the driver, to avoid any misunderstanding and also potential scams. Though taxis are plentiful, be aware that taxis are harder to find during peak traffic hours and traffic jams and when it is raining and snowing. They are also less frequent during nights, depending on the area and are hard to find after midnight. Try to avoid using taxis for short distances (5–10 minutes of walk) if possible. Some taxi drivers can be annoyed with this, especially if you called the cab from a taxi hub instead of hailing it from the street. If you want taxis for short distances, just hail them from the street, do not go to the taxi hub. Few taxis have seatbelts, and some drivers may seem to be reckless. If you wish for the driver to slow down, say "yavash lütfen" (slow please). Your request may or may not be honored. As in any major city, tourists are more vulnerable to taxi scams than locals. Be aware that taxi drivers use cars affiliated with a particular hub, and that the name and phone number of the hub, as well as the license plate number, are written on the side of each car. Noting or photographing this information may be useful if you run into problems. In general, riding in taxis affiliated with major hotels (Hilton, Marriot, Ritz, etc.) is safe, and it is not necessary to stay in these hotels to use a taxis leaving from their hubs. Others may take unnecessarily long routes to increase the amount due (although sometimes alternate routes are also taken to avoid Istanbul traffic, which can be very bad). Some scams involve the payment transaction; for example, if the rider pays 50 TL when only 20 TL are needed, the driver may quickly switch it with a 5 TL note and insist that the rest of the 20 TL is still due or may switch the real bill for a fake one and insist that different money be given. Methods to avoid taxi scams: 1. '''Sit in the front passenger seat'''. Watch the meter. Watch the driver's actions (beeping the horn, pumping the brakes, etc.) and note what the taximeter does. While it is rare, some drivers will wire parts of their controls to increase the fare upon activation. If you're with your significant other, '''do it anyway'''. Save the cuddling for after the ride. Check if the seal on the taximeter is broken. Use your phone for light. This will make the driver realize that you are cautious. For women it is better to sit in the back seat (where you can see the meter from the middle), as there are occasionally problems with taxi drivers getting overly friendly, and sitting in the front is a sign that a woman welcomes such behavior. 2. '''Ask "How much to go to...?" (basic English is understood), before getting in the taxi'''. Price will be quite accurate to the one in the taximeter at the end of the ride. If the price sounds ok for you, get in the cab and tell them to put the Taximeter on. The rate they are applying is same during night and day. 3. '''Know the route.''' If you have a chance, find a map and demand that the driver take your chosen route to the destination. Oftentimes they will drive the long way or pretend not to know where you're going in order to get more money out of you. If the driver claims not to know the route to a major landmark or gathering place, refuse his services as he is likely lying. 4. '''Choose an elderly driver.''' Elderly taxi drivers are less likely to cheat passengers. 5. Let taxi driver see money on your hands and show values and take commitment on it. This is 50 lira. OK? Take this 50 lira and give 30 lira back OK?. This guarantees your money value. Otherwise, your 50 lira can be 5 lira immediately on his hands. Try to have always 10 lira or 20 lira bills in your wallet. This makes money scams in general more difficult. If you realize that the driver tried to use the 50 lira to 5 lira trick on you, call the police (#155) immediately and write down the license plate. If a driver claims not to have change, you may want to consider sitting in the taxi and pointing to a nearby shop to have them break their bills there. This will usually cause them to magically find the necessary change, or frustrate them into accepting a lower fare. 6. Create a big scene if there is a problem. If you are absolutely positive you have been subject to a scam, threaten to or call the police and, if you feel it will help, start yelling. Taxi drivers will only rip off those they think will fall for it; creating a scene draws attention to them and will make it easier to pay the correct rate. ===Overpricing=== Watch the menu carefully in street cafes for signs that prices are not discriminatory — if prices are clearly over-inflated, simply leave. A good indication of over inflation is the circulation of two different types of menu — the "foreigner" menu is typically printed on a laminated card with menu prices written in laundry marker/texta, i.e., prices not be printed; in these cases, expect that prices for foreigners will be highly inflated (300% or higher). While this is not really a problem in [[Istanbul/Galata|Beyoğlu]] or [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Ortaköy]], avoiding the open air cafes toward the rear courtyard of the Spice Bazaar ([[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Sultanahmet]]) is wise. The area immediately north of the Spice Bazaar is also crawling with touts for these 'infamous' cafes. Having nargile (water pipe) is a famous activity in Istanbul,Tophane(top-hane)is a famous location for this activity where a huge number of nargile shops are available and can easily be reached by the tram, avoiding a place called "Ali Baba" in Tophane is wise, usually you will be served there with plates you did not ask for like a nuts plate, and expect to have a bill of around US$50 for your nargile! ===Stalking=== Men intent on stalking foreign women may be present in tourist locations. Such men may presume that foreigners have a lot of money or liberal values and may approach foreign women in a flirtatious or forward manner looking for sex or for money (either by theft or selling over-priced goods). If you are being harassed, use common sense and go to where other people are; often this is the nearest store. Creating a public scene will deter many stalkers, and these phrases may be useful in such cases: *''İmdat!'' &ndash; "Help!" *''Ayıp!'' &ndash; "Rude!" *''Bırak beni!'' &ndash; "Leave me alone!" *''Dur!'' &ndash; "Stop!" *''Gider misin?!'' &ndash; "Will you go?!" Or to really ruin him: *''Beni takip etme!'' &ndash; "Stop stalking me!" *''Polisi arıyorum'' &ndash; "I'm calling the cops!" Occasionally try not to use Turkish as the stalker will like it more, just scream and run and find a safer place with crowd and police. ===Tourism Police=== Istanbul PD has a "Tourism Police" department where travelers may report passport loss and theft or any other criminal activity by which they are victimized. They have an office in [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Sultanahmet]] and can reportedly speak English, German, French, and Arabic. * {{listing | name=Tourism Police | alt=Turizm Polisi | url= | email= | address=Yerebatan Caddesi 6, Sultanahmet | lat= | long= | directions=in the yellow wooden building between Hagia Sophia and the entrance of Basilica Cistern, few meters away from each | phone=+90 212 527 45 03 | tollfree= | fax=+90 212 512 76 76 | hours= | price= | content= }} ==Stay healthy== Tap water may not be safe depending on where you drink it. Although the tap water itself is clean, many local water tanks are not maintained properly, and one should try to avoid tap water if possible. Locals widely prefer bottled water and the same applies for the restaurants. Expect to pay for water in restaurants (around 3 TL as of May 2022). Food and drinks are mostly of international standards. Some Turkish foods are known to use a variety of spices which may affect international tourists who may not be accustomed to such ingredients, although most of it is edible for any tongue. Use common sense when buying certain foods, particularly from street vendors. Delicacies such as "Firin Sutlac" (a kind of rice pudding) can go bad rapidly on a hot day, as can the oysters occasionally for sale on the streets. ==Connect== ''For general information on SIM cards, Wi-Fi and Internet see the [[Turkey#Connect|country article]].'' ===Telephone codes=== Istanbul is the only city or province in Turkey that has more than one telephone code: '''212''' for European side, '''216''' for Asian side and Princes' Islands. When calling from one continent to the other, the usual dialing format used for intercity calls should be used, as if it’s an intercity call: ''0+area code (212 or 216)+7-digit telephone number''. It may appear as an intercity call, but it will be treated as a local call in respect to payment. When making an intercontinental call, if you forget to dial the code, your call will ''not'' be automatically routed to the other continent number, it is likely that you will be connected to the “wrong” number which is in the same continent with you, because much of the number sets are used on both continents (albeit with different codes of course). When dialing a number that is on the continent you are already standing on, only 7-digit number is enough. Don’t forget to dial the code first no matter which continent you are in if you are calling a landline number from a cell phone (even if it’s a number that is in the same continent with you), though. ===Mobile=== Istanbul has 4G from all Turkish carriers. 5G is expected to be rolled out in 2021. ==Cope== Istanbul's less-than-scrupulous hotel and restaurant owners are as market savvy as they come—they read the popular travel guides to Istanbul and when they get listed or favorably reviewed, they raise prices through the roof and skimp on costs. For mid-range and cheap hotels/restaurants, you may have a better time if you avoid places listed in the most popular guidebooks. Trust your nose. [[File:IstanbulPhoneCharging.jpg|thumb|Charging Station for mobile phones in Istanbul]] ===Consulates=== Many of the consulates in Istanbul are housed in elegant and imposing buildings dating back to the previous centuries, when they served as embassies to the Ottoman Empire, before its collapse and the move of the capital to Ankara by the then-newly established republic. An interesting fact about them is that they are all located in the Beyoğlu area with one exception, the [[Iran]]ian consulate, as the imperial authorities did not allow representatives from non-Muslim lands to be based within the official borders of the city at that time, which more or less equaled to the peninsula of the Old City. {| |- | style="vertical-align:top;width:50%;" | * {{flag|Argentina}} {{listing | name=Argentina | url= | email= | address=Tepecik Yolu 58, Etiler | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+90 212 257-70-50 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Australia}} {{listing | name=Australia | url= | email= | address=Asker Ocağı Caddesi 15, Elmadağ | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+90 212 243-13-33 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Austria}} {{listing | name=Austria | url=http://www.aussenministerium.at/istanbulgk | email= | address=Köybaşı Caddesi 46, Yeniköy | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+90 212 363-84-10 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Belgium}} {{listing | name=Belgium | url=http://diplomatie.be/istanbul/ | email= | address=Sıraselviler Caddesi 39, Taksim | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+90 212 243-33-00 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Brazil}} {{listing | name=Brazil | url=http://istambul.itamaraty.gov.br/pt-br/ | email=cg.istambul@itamaraty.gov.br | address=Askeroğacı Caddesi, 6 - Süzer Plaza 4th floor - Elmadağ, Şişli | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+90 212 252-00-13 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Bulgaria}} {{listing | name=Bulgaria | url=http://www.bulgarianconsulate-ist.org/ | email= | address=Ahmet Adnan Saygun Caddesi 44, Ulus-Levent | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+90 212 281-01-15 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Canada}} {{listing | name=Canada | url=http://turkey.gc.ca | email= | address=İstiklal Caddesi 189/5, Beyoğlu | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+90 212 251-98-38 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{flag|China}} {{listing | name=China | url=http://istanbul.china-consulate.org/ | email=chinaconsul_ist_tr@mfa.gov.cn | address=Ahi Çelebi Cd.

It has many historic towns with Byzantine and Ottoman heritage. * [[Edirne]], two hours to the northwest, is a beautiful historic city, and was the Ottoman capital before power moved to Istanbul. You need at least a day here. A slow scenic route winds north via [[Kıyıköy]], ancient Medea, a fisherman's village on the Black Sea with some traditional architecture, partially rebuilt ancient city walls and a nearby rock-cut monastery. The next town on that route is [[Vize]], an old town with a well preserved Byzantine cathedral. * Head into Western Europe either via [[Sofia]] in Bulgaria or [[Bucharest]] in Romania. * Or perhaps you can follow the ancient [[Via Egnatia]] all the way to the Adriatic and across to [[Rome]]. ===South=== * The [[Marmara Islands]] are across the sea, much further away and less urban than the Princes Islands just offshore of the city. * [[Bursa]] to the southeast is a former Ottoman capital with many historical sights plus [[Uludağ|Uludağ National Park]] just south. [[İznik]], rich in Byzantine, Seljuk, and early Ottoman heritage, is worth a detour on the way. * A scenic route towards [[Izmir]] is to head west then south into the [[Gallipoli]] peninsula, with its World War I sites, cross the Dardanelles to [[Çanakkale]], then past ancient [[Troy (Turkey)|Troy]] and [[Bergama|Pergamon (Bergama)]]. A short ferry-ride brings you to the charming island of [[Bozcaada]]. For more detailed descriptions, see [[Istanbul to Izmir]]. ===East=== In Istanbul you've only stepped on the threshold of Asian Turkey. Continue east across Anatolia for so much more: rejuvenated [[Ankara]], unworldly [[Cappadocia]], surreal [[Kahta|Mount Nemrut]], faraway [[Kars]]. And further still across the lands of the former Ottoman Empire: follow in the footsteps of [[Silk Road|ancient traders]], [[On the trail of Marco Polo|medieval travellers]], [[From Istanbul to Cairo|pilgrims]], and [[Istanbul to New Delhi over land|hippies]]. {{routebox | image1=E80-TR.png | imagesize1=40 | directionl1=W | majorl1=[[Edirne]] | minorl1=[[Corlu|Çorlu]] ← Junctions [[File:D567-TR.svg|35px]] ([[Çerkezköy|N]] / [[Marmara Ereğlisi|S]]), [[File:E84-TR.png|35px]] ([[Marmara Ereğlisi|W]]), [[File:O7-TR_sign.svg|30px]] ([[Istanbul Airport|E]]) | directionr1=E | majorr1=[[Ankara]] ([[File:E89-TR.png|35px]]) | minorr1=[[Gebze]] | image2=D020-TR.svg | imagesize2=40 | directionl2=W | majorl2=[[Edirne]] | minorl2=[[Istanbul Airport]] | directionr2=E | majorr2=Ends at [[File:E80-TR.png|35px]] in Adapazarı | minorr2=[[File:Noun Ocean 1639439 006699.svg|18px]] Bosphorus | image3=Yüksek Hızlı Tren logo.svg | imagesize3=40 | directionl3=W | majorl3=END | minorl3= | directionr3=E | majorr3=[[Ankara]] | minorr3=[[Gebze]] | link3=Turkey#By train 2 }} {{geo|41.013611|28.955000|zoom=13}} {{isPartOf|Marmara_(region)}} {{guidecity}} l674w443yym8u1vnvdiphw83nqcuaqy 0 15887 4495704 4440334 2022-08-05T13:23:04Z Vidimian 1815 /* Around Kadıköy */ + müze gazhane; geo order wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Bosphorus_strait_banner.jpg|caption=The Maiden's Tower, backed by the Asian Side (right), the Bosphorus Bridge (centre), and the European Side (left, hazy)|pgname=Asian Side, Istanbul}} The '''Asian Side''' ([[Turkish phrasebook|Turkish]]: ''Asya Yakası'') or the '''Anatolian Side''' (''Anadolu Yakası'', which is the more common designation for the area in Turkish) is the half of [[Istanbul]] that is on the [[Asia]]n mainland, east of the Bosphorus. ==Understand== {{infobox|"Land of the Blind"|Before setting sail to find a suitable place for a colony, Byzas, the legendary founder of Byzantium, was told by soothsayers that he should establish his colony across the water from the "land of the blind". His search led him to a beautiful, forested, and easily defended peninsula, with an excellent natural harbour on its north side, a deep, long, sheltered inlet. Here he encountered fishermen from Chalcedon on the other side of the Bosphorus, which had fewer natural endowments. Byzas reckoned these folk must be "the blind" of the prophecy, who'd failed to see the advantages of the site right in front of them, and who'd built their city in a poorer location. So Byzas laid the first stone of [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Byzantium]] on that peninsula: it grew to become Constantinople then Istanbul, flanked to the north by the inlet of the Golden Horn. And Chalcedon (today’s Kadıköy) was mocked as "The Land of the Blind".}} '''Kadıköy''' (ancient ''Chalcedon'') and '''Üsküdar''' (ancient ''Chrysopolis'' or ''Scutari'') form the historical cores of this area. Both started as independent ports - indeed Chalkedon was founded 30–40 years before the oldest parts of Istanbul - and were only incorporated into the city of Istanbul in the late 19th century. Regular steamer ferries began to ply the Bosphorus between them; it would be another 150 years before bridges and Metro tunnels created a land connection. Today Kadıköy and Üsküdar are the main areas of visitor interest on the Asian side. Inland are miles of bland suburbs, with high-rise apartment blocks and shopping malls, which sprang up when the first Bosphorus bridge made inter-continental commuting easier. The Asian Side houses about 5.6 million people (2021), a third of Istanbul's population, and more than 2 million of them commute daily to Europe. However there's a string of interesting places along the Bosphorus coast, with old palaces, mansions, and neighbourhoods with character, and stretches of parkland along the Marmara coast. In 2005 the city boundaries were extended to engulf the former "Istanbul Province" on both the Asian and European sides. So nowadays the city, and the scope of this page, goes all the way east to the boundary with Kocaeli Province, from just north of Gebze on the Marmara coast to Ağva Merkez on the Black Sea coast. These new areas of Istanbul are mostly rural, but suburban developers are eagerly marking out plots and cranking up their cement mixers. ==Get in== {{Mapframe|41.01517|29.25111|zoom=10|width=400|height=450}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q794351,Q122320,Q326339,Q334924,Q753882,Q932886,Q739547,Q639014,Q253182,Q857056,Q673890,Q938548}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} ===From beyond Istanbul=== And see main [[Istanbul]] page for details of these links.

[[File:Haydarpasa train station.jpg|thumb|270px|Haydarpaşa Railway Station]] '''By train:''' Istanbul's terminus for high speed trains from Ankara and other eastern cities is {{marker | type=go | name=Sogutlucesme | lat=40.992 | long=29.038 }}, near the disused historic terminus of Haydarpaşa. These trains also stop at {{marker | type=go | name=Bostanci | lat=40.955 | long=29.096 }} near the ferry pier, and {{marker | type=go | name=Pendik | lat=40.8801 | long=29.231 }}, which is convenient for reaching Sabiha Gökçen Airport. Bostanci and Pendik mainline railway stations are about 1 km south of the metro stations of the same name. '''By bus''', Harem is the main bus station, with buses arriving from all over Asian Turkey. It’s mid-way between Üsküdar and Kadıköy and has frequent ferry links with [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü/Sirkeci]]. There aren't many amenities, so bring a book or commune with your i-phone if you’re going to be there long. '''By boat:''' Fast ferries from towns along the southern coast of the Marmara Sea, such as [[Yalova]] or [[Bandırma]], land at the pier at '''Bostancı'''. Some are direct, while others transfer to a smaller ferry after arriving at Yenikapı pier on the European side. The fast catamarans offer a smooth and pleasant ride - a great option for reaching [[İznik]] or beyond. ===From European Istanbul=== '''Metro:''' the Marmaray line rushes between continents in a very few minutes. [[File:Istanbul 1180247.jpg|thumb|The ferry pier in Kadıköy at night]] '''By boat''' across the Bosphorus is the most pleasant method, and always quicker than trying to cross the congested bridges. The main ferry lines are: * Kadıköy - [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] * Kadıköy - [[Istanbul/Galata|Karaköy]] via Haydarpaşa * Kadıköy - [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] * Üsküdar - [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] * Üsküdar - [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] * Üsküdar - [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] and then on to Eyüp along the [[Istanbul/Golden Horn|Golden Horn]] Ferries from the western suburbs eg Bakırköy also run to Kadıköy and Bostancı, but they are much more expensive than local ferries. '''Buses''' across the bridges are slow at any time, and tediously slow in rush hour (07:00-10:00 going west into Europe, 18:00-20:00 coming east into Asia). Buses across the bridges require two tickets (or the equivalent cash) rather than one (one exception is #129L Levent-Kozyatağı which visitors are unlikely to use). The most useful inter-continental buses are: * 110 - [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]] and [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] to Kadıköy * 120 - [[Istanbul/New City|Mecidiyeköy]] to Kadıköy * 112 - [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]] and [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] to Bostancı * 128 - [[Istanbul/New City|Mecidiyeköy]] to Bostancı * 129T - [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]] and [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] to Bostancı, via the foot of Çamlıca Hill However the ''metrobüs'' (#34A) is quicker, as it has a dedicated bus lane, and only needs one ticket. It runs from Beylikdüzü out in the [[Istanbul/Western Suburbs|western suburbs]] via Edirnekapı just outside [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|the old city]] and Mecidiyeköy in the [[Istanbul/New City|business district]] to Söğütlüçeşme just east of downtown Kadıköy. ''Metrobüs'' stations are usually a little off the usual tourist trail, but easily reached by a variety of public transportation, including the metro from [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim Square]] for Mecidiyeköy station. {{infobox|Overland to Üsküdar|''Kéraban-le-têtu'' ("Keraban the Inflexible") is the stubborn title character of the 1883 novel by Jules Verne. Keraban Agha is a merchant who lives in Üsküdar, Asia side, but works in Galata, Europe side. He has two business visitors from Rotterdam, and wants to entertain them at home - but the government have imposed a new tax on crossing the Bosphorus. It's ten ''para'' - a para is 1/40th of a ''kuruş'', which is 1/100th of a Turkish lira, so it's an amount you could barely see with a microscope. But it's the principle! Damn this government! I'll show them! Kereban is as fixated on getting his guests to Üsküdar as he is on not paying the tax - so he leads them there ''the wrong way''. They go overland round the entire 4000 km coastline of the Black Sea via what is now Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Crimea, Northern Caucasus, Abkhazia, and north coast of Turkey. Apart from the prospect of dinner, there's also a race against time, involving a fair young woman and an inheritance, and dastardly villains out to thwart Kereban's progress. The trio arrive at his residence after a 45-day journey. In December 2008 a group of Turkish artists repeated the journey, under the name “In the Footsteps of Jules Verne.” They had to arch around Moldova to avoid the conflict zone of Transnistria, were unable to cross the Russia-Georgia border, and encountered many other hassles. They got around in 14 days, but declared that it was even harder to follow the same route after 125 years.}} '''Dolmuş''' routes run 24 hours a day between [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]]-Kadıköy, and Taksim-Bostancı. They depart from the street next to ''Atatürk Kültür Merkezi'' in Taksim Square (opposite edge of the square from Istiklal Street) and cost about 5.50 TL/person. Or '''go overland, the wrong way round''' just to prove you can: see the infobox. ===Around the district=== The main transport hubs here are Kadıköy and Üsküdar, with ''dolmuş'', bus and minibus routes across the district. Bostancı on the Marmara coast is a secondary hub. ''Dolmuş''es ply between Kadıköy-Üsküdar, Kadıköy-Bostancı and Bostancı-Kadıköy until late at night, and also run from Kadıköy to Acıbadem, Koşuyolu and various points. '''Marmaray''', the cross-city train line, picks up at Üsküdar (transfer to M5), Ayrılıkçeşme (transfer to M4; 1.6 km north of the Kadıköy waterfront), and Söğütlüçeşme (transfer to Metrobüs; 1.7 km east of the Kadıköy waterfront) and serves the neighbourhoods and suburbs on the Marmara coast, as far east as [[Gebze]]. '''Metro line''' M4 runs from Kadıköy eastwards as far as Kartal, Pendik and Tavşantepe. An extension is underway to Sabiha Gökçen Airport, due to open in 2022. '''Metro line''' M5 runs from Üsküdar eastwards to Çekmeköy. '''By car:''' the major roads on the Asian side mostly follow a west-east axis. These are the three major roads which connect '''Kadıköy''' to locations in the east (from south to north) * The '''causeway''' (''Sahil Yolu''), which follows the Marmara coast. * '''Bağdat Avenue''' (one-way, and that is ''east to west'' which means you ''cannot'' enter from Kadıköy). * the road colloquially known as '''Minibüs Yolu'''. From '''Üsküdar''', the major road colloquially known with its former European route number '''E-5''' stretches eastwards into [[Asia]], while another road also named ''Sahil Yolu'' (Causeway) connects the neighborhoods on the bank of Bosphorus in the north to Üsküdar. '''By bicycle:''' there are some 20 km of marked bicycle lanes along the park which follows the coast, starting from a few km east of Kadıköy, passing by Bostancı and eventually reaching the eastern edge of the city. The bike lane is well-maintained but watch out for pedestrians who haven't quite grasped the concept. '''Tram line''' T3 runs between Kadıköy and Moda, but it's more a nostalgia trip than practical transport. ==See== ===Around Kadıköy=== [[Image:Yeni Valide mosque, Üsküdar 2.JPG|thumb|Yeni Valide mosque]] [[Image:Anadoluhisarı 2.JPG|thumb|Anadoluhisarı]] * {{see | name=Haydarpaşa Station | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=40.996228 | long=29.018636 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M4 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Kadıköy 1.1 km, [[File:Snelwegveer.png|28px]] Kadıköy 900 m | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Haydarpaşa railway station | image=Haydarpasa train station.jpg | wikidata=Q800973 | lastedit=2018-07-24 | content=Istanbul's former Asia-side railway station nowadays has no trains, but is worth a look.

Story has it that a powerful emperor built the tower in the middle of the sea to protect his beloved daughter from death after hearing a prophecy told by a fortune-teller, but a snake had found its way to the tower (inside a basket of fruits) and, as you have already guessed, had bitten and killed the princess, although in reality it is far more likely it was built as a lighthouse to warn the ships entering the Bosphorus about the rocky islet the tower was built on. There is also a viewing area on the coast directly opposite the Tower where you can buy tea and sit down to enjoy the scenery while listening to traditional Turkish music&mdash;a much cheaper option than the Tower itself.

His search led him to a beautiful, forested, and easily defended peninsula, with an excellent natural harbour on its north side, a deep, long, sheltered inlet. Here he encountered fishermen from Chalcedon on the other side of the Bosphorus, which had fewer natural endowments. Byzas reckoned these folk must be "the blind" of the prophecy, who'd failed to see the advantages of the site right in front of them, and who'd built their city in a poorer location. So Byzas laid the first stone of [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Byzantium]] on that peninsula: it grew to become Constantinople then Istanbul, flanked to the north by the inlet of the Golden Horn. And Chalcedon (today’s Kadıköy) was mocked as "The Land of the Blind".}} '''Kadıköy''' (ancient ''Chalcedon'') and '''Üsküdar''' (ancient ''Chrysopolis'' or ''Scutari'') form the historical cores of this area. Both started as independent ports - indeed Chalkedon was founded 30–40 years before the oldest parts of Istanbul - and were only incorporated into the city of Istanbul in the late 19th century. Regular steamer ferries began to ply the Bosphorus between them; it would be another 150 years before bridges and Metro tunnels created a land connection. Today Kadıköy and Üsküdar are the main areas of visitor interest on the Asian side. Inland are miles of bland suburbs, with high-rise apartment blocks and shopping malls, which sprang up when the first Bosphorus bridge made inter-continental commuting easier. The Asian Side houses about 5.6 million people (2021), a third of Istanbul's population, and more than 2 million of them commute daily to Europe. However there's a string of interesting places along the Bosphorus coast, with old palaces, mansions, and neighbourhoods with character, and stretches of parkland along the Marmara coast. In 2005 the city boundaries were extended to engulf the former "Istanbul Province" on both the Asian and European sides. So nowadays the city, and the scope of this page, goes all the way east to the boundary with Kocaeli Province, from just north of Gebze on the Marmara coast to Ağva Merkez on the Black Sea coast. These new areas of Istanbul are mostly rural, but suburban developers are eagerly marking out plots and cranking up their cement mixers. ==Get in== {{Mapframe|41.01517|29.25111|zoom=10|width=400|height=450}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q794351,Q122320,Q326339,Q334924,Q753882,Q932886,Q739547,Q639014,Q253182,Q857056,Q673890,Q938548}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} ===From beyond Istanbul=== And see main [[Istanbul]] page for details of these links.

Bostanci and Pendik mainline railway stations are about 1 km south of the metro stations of the same name. '''By bus''', Harem is the main bus station, with buses arriving from all over Asian Turkey. It’s mid-way between Üsküdar and Kadıköy and has frequent ferry links with [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü/Sirkeci]]. There aren't many amenities, so bring a book or commune with your i-phone if you’re going to be there long. '''By boat:''' Fast ferries from towns along the southern coast of the Marmara Sea, such as [[Yalova]] or [[Bandırma]], land at the pier at '''Bostancı'''. Some are direct, while others transfer to a smaller ferry after arriving at Yenikapı pier on the European side. The fast catamarans offer a smooth and pleasant ride - a great option for reaching [[İznik]] or beyond. ===From European Istanbul=== '''Metro:''' the Marmaray line rushes between continents in a very few minutes. [[File:Istanbul 1180247.jpg|thumb|The ferry pier in Kadıköy at night]] '''By boat''' across the Bosphorus is the most pleasant method, and always quicker than trying to cross the congested bridges. The main ferry lines are: * Kadıköy - [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] * Kadıköy - [[Istanbul/Galata|Karaköy]] via Haydarpaşa * Kadıköy - [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] * Üsküdar - [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] * Üsküdar - [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] * Üsküdar - [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] and then on to Eyüp along the [[Istanbul/Golden Horn|Golden Horn]] Ferries from the western suburbs eg Bakırköy also run to Kadıköy and Bostancı, but they are much more expensive than local ferries. '''Buses''' across the bridges are slow at any time, and tediously slow in rush hour (07:00-10:00 going west into Europe, 18:00-20:00 coming east into Asia). Buses across the bridges require two tickets (or the equivalent cash) rather than one (one exception is #129L Levent-Kozyatağı which visitors are unlikely to use). The most useful inter-continental buses are: * 110 - [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]] and [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] to Kadıköy * 120 - [[Istanbul/New City|Mecidiyeköy]] to Kadıköy * 112 - [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]] and [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] to Bostancı * 128 - [[Istanbul/New City|Mecidiyeköy]] to Bostancı * 129T - [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]] and [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] to Bostancı, via the foot of Çamlıca Hill However the ''metrobüs'' (#34A) is quicker, as it has a dedicated bus lane, and only needs one ticket. It runs from Beylikdüzü out in the [[Istanbul/Western Suburbs|western suburbs]] via Edirnekapı just outside [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|the old city]] and Mecidiyeköy in the [[Istanbul/New City|business district]] to Söğütlüçeşme just east of downtown Kadıköy. ''Metrobüs'' stations are usually a little off the usual tourist trail, but easily reached by a variety of public transportation, including the metro from [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim Square]] for Mecidiyeköy station. {{infobox|Overland to Üsküdar|''Kéraban-le-têtu'' ("Keraban the Inflexible") is the stubborn title character of the 1883 novel by Jules Verne. Keraban Agha is a merchant who lives in Üsküdar, Asia side, but works in Galata, Europe side. He has two business visitors from Rotterdam, and wants to entertain them at home - but the government have imposed a new tax on crossing the Bosphorus. It's ten ''para'' - a para is 1/40th of a ''kuruş'', which is 1/100th of a Turkish lira, so it's an amount you could barely see with a microscope. But it's the principle! Damn this government! I'll show them! Kereban is as fixated on getting his guests to Üsküdar as he is on not paying the tax - so he leads them there ''the wrong way''. They go overland round the entire 4000 km coastline of the Black Sea via what is now Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Crimea, Northern Caucasus, Abkhazia, and north coast of Turkey. Apart from the prospect of dinner, there's also a race against time, involving a fair young woman and an inheritance, and dastardly villains out to thwart Kereban's progress. The trio arrive at his residence after a 45-day journey. In December 2008 a group of Turkish artists repeated the journey, under the name “In the Footsteps of Jules Verne.” They had to arch around Moldova to avoid the conflict zone of Transnistria, were unable to cross the Russia-Georgia border, and encountered many other hassles. They got around in 14 days, but declared that it was even harder to follow the same route after 125 years.}} '''Dolmuş''' routes run 24 hours a day between [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]]-Kadıköy, and Taksim-Bostancı. They depart from the street next to ''Atatürk Kültür Merkezi'' in Taksim Square (opposite edge of the square from Istiklal Street) and cost about 5.50 TL/person. Or '''go overland, the wrong way round''' just to prove you can: see the infobox. ===Around the district=== The main transport hubs here are Kadıköy and Üsküdar, with ''dolmuş'', bus and minibus routes across the district. Bostancı on the Marmara coast is a secondary hub. ''Dolmuş''es ply between Kadıköy-Üsküdar, Kadıköy-Bostancı and Bostancı-Kadıköy until late at night, and also run from Kadıköy to Acıbadem, Koşuyolu and various points. '''Marmaray''', the cross-city train line, picks up at Üsküdar (transfer to M5), Ayrılıkçeşme (transfer to M4; 1.6 km north of the Kadıköy waterfront), and Söğütlüçeşme (transfer to Metrobüs; 1.7 km east of the Kadıköy waterfront) and serves the neighbourhoods and suburbs on the Marmara coast, as far east as [[Gebze]]. '''Metro line''' M4 runs from Kadıköy eastwards as far as Kartal, Pendik and Tavşantepe. An extension is underway to Sabiha Gökçen Airport, due to open in 2022. '''Metro line''' M5 runs from Üsküdar eastwards to Çekmeköy. '''By car:''' the major roads on the Asian side mostly follow a west-east axis.

From '''Üsküdar''', the major road colloquially known with its former European route number '''E-5''' stretches eastwards into [[Asia]], while another road also named ''Sahil Yolu'' (Causeway) connects the neighborhoods on the bank of Bosphorus in the north to Üsküdar. '''By bicycle:''' there are some 20 km of marked bicycle lanes along the park which follows the coast, starting from a few km east of Kadıköy, passing by Bostancı and eventually reaching the eastern edge of the city. The bike lane is well-maintained but watch out for pedestrians who haven't quite grasped the concept.

Story has it that a powerful emperor built the tower in the middle of the sea to protect his beloved daughter from death after hearing a prophecy told by a fortune-teller, but a snake had found its way to the tower (inside a basket of fruits) and, as you have already guessed, had bitten and killed the princess, although in reality it is far more likely it was built as a lighthouse to warn the ships entering the Bosphorus about the rocky islet the tower was built on. There is also a viewing area on the coast directly opposite the Tower where you can buy tea and sit down to enjoy the scenery while listening to traditional Turkish music&mdash;a much cheaper option than the Tower itself.

From the quay where liners from [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] arrives (signed as ''Eminönü Karaköy İskelesi''), first cross the main street, then turn right, from the corner where Starbucks is located, turn left. You’ll come across two churches facing each other; turn right there. On that street and the upper one parallel to it, you’ll find lots of bars (some of which offer live music), pubs, and Turkish taverns. A few blocks uphill from there is the street colloquially known as ''Barlar Sokağı'' (Turkish for “Street of Bars”), where there are more places for a drink. If you can’t manage to find that street, ask young people for directions to ''Rexx Sineması'' (pronounced ''rex cinema-suh''). That cinema/movie theatre is very near that street, and is widely known. * {{drink | name=Karga | alt= | url=http://www.karga.com.tr/ | email=info@kargabar.org | address=Kadife Sokak 16, Kadıköy | lat= | long= | directions=on 'Barlar Sokağı' | phone=+90 216 449 1725 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price=7 TL for a pint (0.50 litre) of beer | content=A finely decorated bar situated in a three-storey old building with wooden ceilings and floors.

His search led him to a beautiful, forested, and easily defended peninsula, with an excellent natural harbour on its north side, a deep, long, sheltered inlet. Here he encountered fishermen from Chalcedon on the other side of the Bosphorus, which had fewer natural endowments. Byzas reckoned these folk must be "the blind" of the prophecy, who'd failed to see the advantages of the site right in front of them, and who'd built their city in a poorer location. So Byzas laid the first stone of [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Byzantium]] on that peninsula: it grew to become Constantinople then Istanbul, flanked to the north by the inlet of the Golden Horn. And Chalcedon (today’s Kadıköy) was mocked as "The Land of the Blind".}} '''Kadıköy''' (ancient ''Chalcedon'') and '''Üsküdar''' (ancient ''Chrysopolis'' or ''Scutari'') form the historical cores of this area. Both started as independent ports - indeed Chalkedon was founded 30–40 years before the oldest parts of Istanbul - and were only incorporated into the city of Istanbul in the late 19th century. Regular steamer ferries began to ply the Bosphorus between them; it would be another 150 years before bridges and Metro tunnels created a land connection. Today Kadıköy and Üsküdar are the main areas of visitor interest on the Asian side. Inland are miles of bland suburbs, with high-rise apartment blocks and shopping malls, which sprang up when the first Bosphorus bridge made inter-continental commuting easier. The Asian Side houses about 5.6 million people (2021), a third of Istanbul's population, and more than 2 million of them commute daily to Europe. However there's a string of interesting places along the Bosphorus coast, with old palaces, mansions, and neighbourhoods with character, and stretches of parkland along the Marmara coast. In 2005 the city boundaries were extended to engulf the former "Istanbul Province" on both the Asian and European sides. So nowadays the city, and the scope of this page, goes all the way east to the boundary with Kocaeli Province, from just north of Gebze on the Marmara coast to Ağva Merkez on the Black Sea coast. These new areas of Istanbul are mostly rural, but suburban developers are eagerly marking out plots and cranking up their cement mixers. ==Get in== {{Mapframe|41.01517|29.25111|zoom=10|width=400|height=450}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q794351,Q122320,Q326339,Q334924,Q753882,Q932886,Q739547,Q639014,Q253182,Q857056,Q673890,Q938548}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} ===From beyond Istanbul=== And see main [[Istanbul]] page for details of these links.

Buses are erratic, a taxi might be best. }} There's a hotel at the airport, some half a dozen (e.g. a Hilton) at Kurtköy 2 km north, then another dozen at Pendik town (on the Marmara coast near the YHT station) 6 km south. [[File:Haydarpasa train station.jpg|thumb|270px|Haydarpaşa Railway Station]] '''By train:''' Istanbul's terminus for high speed trains from Ankara and other eastern cities is {{marker | type=go | name=Sogutlucesme | lat=40.992 | long=29.038 }}, near the disused historic terminus of Haydarpaşa. These trains also stop at {{marker | type=go | name=Bostanci | lat=40.955 | long=29.096 }} near the ferry pier, and {{marker | type=go | name=Pendik | lat=40.8801 | long=29.231 }}, which is convenient for reaching Sabiha Gökçen Airport. Bostanci and Pendik mainline railway stations are about 1 km south of the metro stations of the same name. '''By bus''', Harem is the main bus station, with buses arriving from all over Asian Turkey. It’s mid-way between Üsküdar and Kadıköy and has frequent ferry links with [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü/Sirkeci]]. There aren't many amenities, so bring a book or commune with your i-phone if you’re going to be there long. '''By boat:''' Fast ferries from towns along the southern coast of the Marmara Sea, such as [[Yalova]] or [[Bandırma]], land at the pier at '''Bostancı'''. Some are direct, while others transfer to a smaller ferry after arriving at Yenikapı pier on the European side. The fast catamarans offer a smooth and pleasant ride - a great option for reaching [[İznik]] or beyond. ===From European Istanbul=== '''Metro:''' the Marmaray line rushes between continents in a very few minutes. [[File:Istanbul 1180247.jpg|thumb|The ferry pier in Kadıköy at night]] '''By boat''' across the Bosphorus is the most pleasant method, and always quicker than trying to cross the congested bridges. The main ferry lines are: * Kadıköy - [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] * Kadıköy - [[Istanbul/Galata|Karaköy]] via Haydarpaşa * Kadıköy - [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] * Üsküdar - [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] * Üsküdar - [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] * Üsküdar - [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] and then on to Eyüp along the [[Istanbul/Golden Horn|Golden Horn]] Ferries from the western suburbs eg Bakırköy also run to Kadıköy and Bostancı, but they are much more expensive than local ferries. '''Buses''' across the bridges are slow at any time, and tediously slow in rush hour (07:00-10:00 going west into Europe, 18:00-20:00 coming east into Asia). Buses across the bridges require two tickets (or the equivalent cash) rather than one (one exception is #129L Levent-Kozyatağı which visitors are unlikely to use). The most useful inter-continental buses are: * 110 - [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]] and [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] to Kadıköy * 120 - [[Istanbul/New City|Mecidiyeköy]] to Kadıköy * 112 - [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]] and [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] to Bostancı * 128 - [[Istanbul/New City|Mecidiyeköy]] to Bostancı * 129T - [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]] and [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] to Bostancı, via the foot of Çamlıca Hill However the ''metrobüs'' (#34A) is quicker, as it has a dedicated bus lane, and only needs one ticket. It runs from Beylikdüzü out in the [[Istanbul/Western Suburbs|western suburbs]] via Edirnekapı just outside [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|the old city]] and Mecidiyeköy in the [[Istanbul/New City|business district]] to Söğütlüçeşme just east of downtown Kadıköy. ''Metrobüs'' stations are usually a little off the usual tourist trail, but easily reached by a variety of public transportation, including the metro from [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim Square]] for Mecidiyeköy station. {{infobox|Overland to Üsküdar|''Kéraban-le-têtu'' ("Keraban the Inflexible") is the stubborn title character of the 1883 novel by Jules Verne. Keraban Agha is a merchant who lives in Üsküdar, Asia side, but works in Galata, Europe side. He has two business visitors from Rotterdam, and wants to entertain them at home - but the government have imposed a new tax on crossing the Bosphorus. It's ten ''para'' - a para is 1/40th of a ''kuruş'', which is 1/100th of a Turkish lira, so it's an amount you could barely see with a microscope. But it's the principle! Damn this government! I'll show them! Kereban is as fixated on getting his guests to Üsküdar as he is on not paying the tax - so he leads them there ''the wrong way''. They go overland round the entire 4000 km coastline of the Black Sea via what is now Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Crimea, Northern Caucasus, Abkhazia, and north coast of Turkey. Apart from the prospect of dinner, there's also a race against time, involving a fair young woman and an inheritance, and dastardly villains out to thwart Kereban's progress. The trio arrive at his residence after a 45-day journey. In December 2008 a group of Turkish artists repeated the journey, under the name “In the Footsteps of Jules Verne.” They had to arch around Moldova to avoid the conflict zone of Transnistria, were unable to cross the Russia-Georgia border, and encountered many other hassles. They got around in 14 days, but declared that it was even harder to follow the same route after 125 years.}} '''Dolmuş''' routes run 24 hours a day between [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]]-Kadıköy, and Taksim-Bostancı. They depart from the street next to ''Atatürk Kültür Merkezi'' in Taksim Square (opposite edge of the square from Istiklal Street) and cost about 5.50 TL/person. Or '''go overland, the wrong way round''' just to prove you can: see the infobox. ===Around the district=== The main transport hubs here are Kadıköy and Üsküdar, with ''dolmuş'', bus and minibus routes across the district. Bostancı on the Marmara coast is a secondary hub. ''Dolmuş''es ply between Kadıköy-Üsküdar, Kadıköy-Bostancı and Bostancı-Kadıköy until late at night, and also run from Kadıköy to Acıbadem, Koşuyolu and various points. '''Marmaray''', the cross-city train line, picks up at Üsküdar (transfer to M5), Ayrılıkçeşme (transfer to M4; 1.6 km north of the Kadıköy waterfront), and Söğütlüçeşme (transfer to Metrobüs; 1.7 km east of the Kadıköy waterfront) and serves the neighbourhoods and suburbs on the Marmara coast, as far east as [[Gebze]]. '''Metro line''' M4 runs from Kadıköy eastwards as far as Kartal, Pendik and Tavşantepe. An extension is underway to Sabiha Gökçen Airport, due to open in 2022. '''Metro line''' M5 runs from Üsküdar eastwards to Çekmeköy. '''By car:''' the major roads on the Asian side mostly follow a west-east axis. These are the three major roads which connect '''Kadıköy''' to locations in the east (from south to north) * The '''causeway''' (''Sahil Yolu''), which follows the Marmara coast. * '''Bağdat Avenue''' (one-way, and that is ''east to west'' which means you ''cannot'' enter from Kadıköy). * the road colloquially known as '''Minibüs Yolu'''. From '''Üsküdar''', the major road colloquially known with its former European route number '''E-5''' stretches eastwards into [[Asia]], while another road also named ''Sahil Yolu'' (Causeway) connects the neighborhoods on the bank of Bosphorus in the north to Üsküdar. '''By bicycle:''' there are some 20 km of marked bicycle lanes along the park which follows the coast, starting from a few km east of Kadıköy, passing by Bostancı and eventually reaching the eastern edge of the city. The bike lane is well-maintained but watch out for pedestrians who haven't quite grasped the concept. '''Tram line''' T3 runs between Kadıköy and Moda, but it's more a nostalgia trip than practical transport. ==See== ===Around Kadıköy=== [[Image:Yeni Valide mosque, Üsküdar 2.JPG|thumb|Yeni Valide mosque]] [[Image:Anadoluhisarı 2.JPG|thumb|Anadoluhisarı]] * {{see | name=Haydarpaşa Station | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=40.996228 | long=29.018636 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M4 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Kadıköy 1.1 km, [[File:Snelwegveer.png|28px]] Kadıköy 900 m | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Haydarpaşa railway station | image=Haydarpasa train station.jpg | wikidata=Q800973 | lastedit=2018-07-24 | content=Istanbul's former Asia-side railway station nowadays has no trains, but is worth a look.

The Tower is accessible by boats both from Salacak (very frequent intervals four seasons) or from Kabataş in the [[Istanbul/Galata|European Side]], on the Bosphorus waterfront at the end of the funicular line from Taksim Square (about once every two hours, summers only). Story has it that a powerful emperor built the tower in the middle of the sea to protect his beloved daughter from death after hearing a prophecy told by a fortune-teller, but a snake had found its way to the tower (inside a basket of fruits) and, as you have already guessed, had bitten and killed the princess, although in reality it is far more likely it was built as a lighthouse to warn the ships entering the Bosphorus about the rocky islet the tower was built on. There is also a viewing area on the coast directly opposite the Tower where you can buy tea and sit down to enjoy the scenery while listening to traditional Turkish music&mdash;a much cheaper option than the Tower itself. Try visiting right at the sunset, when the sun is reflecting off the water and the Tower's lights are turning on.

His search led him to a beautiful, forested, and easily defended peninsula, with an excellent natural harbour on its north side, a deep, long, sheltered inlet. Here he encountered fishermen from Chalcedon on the other side of the Bosphorus, which had fewer natural endowments. Byzas reckoned these folk must be "the blind" of the prophecy, who'd failed to see the advantages of the site right in front of them, and who'd built their city in a poorer location. So Byzas laid the first stone of [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Byzantium]] on that peninsula: it grew to become Constantinople then Istanbul, flanked to the north by the inlet of the Golden Horn. And Chalcedon (today’s Kadıköy) was mocked as "The Land of the Blind".}} '''Kadıköy''' (ancient ''Chalcedon'') and '''Üsküdar''' (ancient ''Chrysopolis'' or ''Scutari'') form the historical cores of this area. Both started as independent ports - indeed Chalkedon was founded 30–40 years before the oldest parts of Istanbul - and were only incorporated into the city of Istanbul in the late 19th century. Regular steamer ferries began to ply the Bosphorus between them; it would be another 150 years before bridges and Metro tunnels created a land connection. Today Kadıköy and Üsküdar are the main areas of visitor interest on the Asian side. Inland are miles of bland suburbs, with high-rise apartment blocks and shopping malls, which sprang up when the first Bosphorus bridge made inter-continental commuting easier. The Asian Side houses about 5.6 million people (2021), a third of Istanbul's population, and more than 2 million of them commute daily to Europe. However there's a string of interesting places along the Bosphorus coast, with old palaces, mansions, and neighbourhoods with character, and stretches of parkland along the Marmara coast. In 2005 the city boundaries were extended to engulf the former "Istanbul Province" on both the Asian and European sides. So nowadays the city, and the scope of this page, goes all the way east to the boundary with Kocaeli Province, from just north of Gebze on the Marmara coast to Ağva Merkez on the Black Sea coast. These new areas of Istanbul are mostly rural, but suburban developers are eagerly marking out plots and cranking up their cement mixers. ==Get in== {{Mapframe|41.01517|29.25111|zoom=10|width=400|height=450}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q794351,Q122320,Q326339,Q334924,Q753882,Q932886,Q739547,Q639014,Q253182,Q857056,Q673890,Q938548}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} ===From beyond Istanbul=== And see main [[Istanbul]] page for details of these links.

[[File:Haydarpasa train station.jpg|thumb|270px|Haydarpaşa Railway Station]] '''By train:''' Istanbul's terminus for high speed trains from Ankara and other eastern cities is {{marker | type=go | name=Sogutlucesme | lat=40.992 | long=29.038 }}, near the disused historic terminus of Haydarpaşa. These trains also stop at {{marker | type=go | name=Bostanci | lat=40.955 | long=29.096 }} near the ferry pier, and {{marker | type=go | name=Pendik | lat=40.8801 | long=29.231 }}, which is convenient for reaching Sabiha Gökçen Airport. Bostanci and Pendik mainline railway stations are about 1 km south of the metro stations of the same name. '''By bus''', Harem is the main bus station, with buses arriving from all over Asian Turkey. It’s mid-way between Üsküdar and Kadıköy and has frequent ferry links with [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü/Sirkeci]]. There aren't many amenities, so bring a book or commune with your i-phone if you’re going to be there long. '''By boat:''' Fast ferries from towns along the southern coast of the Marmara Sea, such as [[Yalova]] or [[Bandırma]], land at the pier at '''Bostancı'''. Some are direct, while others transfer to a smaller ferry after arriving at Yenikapı pier on the European side. The fast catamarans offer a smooth and pleasant ride - a great option for reaching [[İznik]] or beyond. ===From European Istanbul=== '''Metro:''' the Marmaray line rushes between continents in a very few minutes. [[File:Istanbul 1180247.jpg|thumb|The ferry pier in Kadıköy at night]] '''By boat''' across the Bosphorus is the most pleasant method, and always quicker than trying to cross the congested bridges. The main ferry lines are: * Kadıköy - [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] * Kadıköy - [[Istanbul/Galata|Karaköy]] via Haydarpaşa * Kadıköy - [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] * Üsküdar - [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] * Üsküdar - [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] * Üsküdar - [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] and then on to Eyüp along the [[Istanbul/Golden Horn|Golden Horn]] Ferries from the western suburbs eg Bakırköy also run to Kadıköy and Bostancı, but they are much more expensive than local ferries. '''Buses''' across the bridges are slow at any time, and tediously slow in rush hour (07:00-10:00 going west into Europe, 18:00-20:00 coming east into Asia). Buses across the bridges require two tickets (or the equivalent cash) rather than one (one exception is #129L Levent-Kozyatağı which visitors are unlikely to use). The most useful inter-continental buses are: * 110 - [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]] and [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] to Kadıköy * 120 - [[Istanbul/New City|Mecidiyeköy]] to Kadıköy * 112 - [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]] and [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] to Bostancı * 128 - [[Istanbul/New City|Mecidiyeköy]] to Bostancı * 129T - [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]] and [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] to Bostancı, via the foot of Çamlıca Hill However the ''metrobüs'' (#34A) is quicker, as it has a dedicated bus lane, and only needs one ticket. It runs from Beylikdüzü out in the [[Istanbul/Western Suburbs|western suburbs]] via Edirnekapı just outside [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|the old city]] and Mecidiyeköy in the [[Istanbul/New City|business district]] to Söğütlüçeşme just east of downtown Kadıköy. ''Metrobüs'' stations are usually a little off the usual tourist trail, but easily reached by a variety of public transportation, including the metro from [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim Square]] for Mecidiyeköy station. {{infobox|Overland to Üsküdar|''Kéraban-le-têtu'' ("Keraban the Inflexible") is the stubborn title character of the 1883 novel by Jules Verne. Keraban Agha is a merchant who lives in Üsküdar, Asia side, but works in Galata, Europe side. He has two business visitors from Rotterdam, and wants to entertain them at home - but the government have imposed a new tax on crossing the Bosphorus. It's ten ''para'' - a para is 1/40th of a ''kuruş'', which is 1/100th of a Turkish lira, so it's an amount you could barely see with a microscope. But it's the principle! Damn this government! I'll show them! Kereban is as fixated on getting his guests to Üsküdar as he is on not paying the tax - so he leads them there ''the wrong way''. They go overland round the entire 4000 km coastline of the Black Sea via what is now Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Crimea, Northern Caucasus, Abkhazia, and north coast of Turkey. Apart from the prospect of dinner, there's also a race against time, involving a fair young woman and an inheritance, and dastardly villains out to thwart Kereban's progress. The trio arrive at his residence after a 45-day journey. In December 2008 a group of Turkish artists repeated the journey, under the name “In the Footsteps of Jules Verne.” They had to arch around Moldova to avoid the conflict zone of Transnistria, were unable to cross the Russia-Georgia border, and encountered many other hassles. They got around in 14 days, but declared that it was even harder to follow the same route after 125 years.}} '''Dolmuş''' routes run 24 hours a day between [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]]-Kadıköy, and Taksim-Bostancı. They depart from the street next to ''Atatürk Kültür Merkezi'' in Taksim Square (opposite edge of the square from Istiklal Street) and cost about 5.50 TL/person. Or '''go overland, the wrong way round''' just to prove you can: see the infobox. ===Around the district=== The main transport hubs here are Kadıköy and Üsküdar, with ''dolmuş'', bus and minibus routes across the district. Bostancı on the Marmara coast is a secondary hub. ''Dolmuş''es ply between Kadıköy-Üsküdar, Kadıköy-Bostancı and Bostancı-Kadıköy until late at night, and also run from Kadıköy to Acıbadem, Koşuyolu and various points. '''Marmaray''', the cross-city train line, picks up at Üsküdar (transfer to M5), Ayrılıkçeşme (transfer to M4; 1.6 km north of the Kadıköy waterfront), and Söğütlüçeşme (transfer to Metrobüs; 1.7 km east of the Kadıköy waterfront) and serves the neighbourhoods and suburbs on the Marmara coast, as far east as [[Gebze]]. '''Metro line''' M4 runs from Kadıköy eastwards as far as Kartal, Pendik and Tavşantepe. An extension is underway to Sabiha Gökçen Airport, due to open in 2022. '''Metro line''' M5 runs from Üsküdar eastwards to Çekmeköy. '''By car:''' the major roads on the Asian side mostly follow a west-east axis. These are the three major roads which connect '''Kadıköy''' to locations in the east (from south to north) * The '''causeway''' (''Sahil Yolu''), which follows the Marmara coast. * '''Bağdat Avenue''' (one-way, and that is ''east to west'' which means you ''cannot'' enter from Kadıköy). * the road colloquially known as '''Minibüs Yolu'''. From '''Üsküdar''', the major road colloquially known with its former European route number '''E-5''' stretches eastwards into [[Asia]], while another road also named ''Sahil Yolu'' (Causeway) connects the neighborhoods on the bank of Bosphorus in the north to Üsküdar. '''By bicycle:''' there are some 20 km of marked bicycle lanes along the park which follows the coast, starting from a few km east of Kadıköy, passing by Bostancı and eventually reaching the eastern edge of the city. The bike lane is well-maintained but watch out for pedestrians who haven't quite grasped the concept. '''Tram line''' T3 runs between Kadıköy and Moda, but it's more a nostalgia trip than practical transport. ==See== ===Around Kadıköy=== [[Image:Yeni Valide mosque, Üsküdar 2.JPG|thumb|Yeni Valide mosque]] [[Image:Anadoluhisarı 2.JPG|thumb|Anadoluhisarı]] * {{see | name=Haydarpaşa Station | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=40.996228 | long=29.018636 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M4 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Kadıköy 1.1 km, [[File:Snelwegveer.png|28px]] Kadıköy 900 m | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Haydarpaşa railway station | image=Haydarpasa train station.jpg | wikidata=Q800973 | lastedit=2018-07-24 | content=Istanbul's former Asia-side railway station nowadays has no trains, but is worth a look.

The Tower is accessible by boats both from Salacak (very frequent intervals four seasons) or from Kabataş in the [[Istanbul/Galata|European Side]], on the Bosphorus waterfront at the end of the funicular line from Taksim Square (about once every two hours, summers only). Story has it that a powerful emperor built the tower in the middle of the sea to protect his beloved daughter from death after hearing a prophecy told by a fortune-teller, but a snake had found its way to the tower (inside a basket of fruits) and, as you have already guessed, had bitten and killed the princess, although in reality it is far more likely it was built as a lighthouse to warn the ships entering the Bosphorus about the rocky islet the tower was built on. There is also a viewing area on the coast directly opposite the Tower where you can buy tea and sit down to enjoy the scenery while listening to traditional Turkish music&mdash;a much cheaper option than the Tower itself.

His search led him to a beautiful, forested, and easily defended peninsula, with an excellent natural harbour on its north side, a deep, long, sheltered inlet. Here he encountered fishermen from Chalcedon on the other side of the Bosphorus, which had fewer natural endowments. Byzas reckoned these folk must be "the blind" of the prophecy, who'd failed to see the advantages of the site right in front of them, and who'd built their city in a poorer location. So Byzas laid the first stone of [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Byzantium]] on that peninsula: it grew to become Constantinople then Istanbul, flanked to the north by the inlet of the Golden Horn. And Chalcedon (today’s Kadıköy) was mocked as "The Land of the Blind".}} '''Kadıköy''' (ancient ''Chalcedon'') and '''Üsküdar''' (ancient ''Chrysopolis'' or ''Scutari'') form the historical cores of this area. Both started as independent ports — indeed Chalkedon was founded 30–40 years before the oldest parts of Istanbul — and were only incorporated into the city of Istanbul in the late 19th century. Regular steamer ferries began to ply the Bosphorus between them; it would be another 150 years before bridges and tunnels created a land connection. Today Kadıköy and Üsküdar are the main areas of visitor interest on the Asian side. Inland are miles of bland suburbs, with high-rise apartment blocks and shopping malls, which sprang up when the first Bosphorus bridge made inter-continental commuting easier. The Asian Side houses about 5.6 million people (2021), a third of Istanbul's population, and more than 2 million of them commute daily to Europe. However there's a string of interesting places along the Bosphorus coast, with old palaces, mansions, and neighbourhoods with character, and stretches of parkland along the Marmara coast. In 2005 the city boundaries were extended to engulf the former "Istanbul Province" on both the Asian and European sides. So nowadays the city, and the scope of this page, goes all the way east to the boundary with Kocaeli Province, from just north of Gebze on the Marmara coast to Ağva Merkez on the Black Sea coast. These new areas of Istanbul are mostly rural, but suburban developers are eagerly marking out plots and cranking up their cement mixers. ==Get in== {{Mapframe|41.01517|29.25111|zoom=10|width=400|height=450}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q794351,Q122320,Q326339,Q334924,Q753882,Q932886,Q739547,Q639014,Q253182,Q857056,Q673890,Q938548}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} ===From beyond Istanbul=== And see main [[Istanbul]] page for details of these links.

[[File:Haydarpasa train station.jpg|thumb|270px|Haydarpaşa Railway Station]] '''By train:''' Istanbul's terminus for high speed trains from Ankara and other eastern cities is {{marker | type=go | name=Sogutlucesme | lat=40.992 | long=29.038 }}, near the disused historic terminus of Haydarpaşa.

Bostanci and Pendik mainline railway stations are about 1 km south of the metro stations of the same name. '''By bus''', Harem is the main bus station, with buses arriving from all over Asian Turkey. It’s mid-way between Üsküdar and Kadıköy and has frequent ferry links with [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü/Sirkeci]]. There aren't many amenities, so bring a book or commune with your i-phone if you’re going to be there long. '''By boat:''' Fast ferries from towns along the southern coast of the Marmara Sea, such as [[Yalova]] or [[Bandırma]], land at the pier at '''Bostancı'''. Some are direct, while others transfer to a smaller ferry after arriving at Yenikapı pier on the European side. The fast catamarans offer a smooth and pleasant ride - a great option for reaching [[İznik]] or beyond. ===From European Istanbul=== '''Metro:''' the Marmaray line rushes between continents in a very few minutes. [[File:Istanbul 1180247.jpg|thumb|The ferry pier in Kadıköy at night]] '''By boat''' across the Bosphorus is the most pleasant method, and always quicker than trying to cross the congested bridges. The main ferry lines are: * Kadıköy - [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] * Kadıköy - [[Istanbul/Galata|Karaköy]] via Haydarpaşa * Kadıköy - [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] * Üsküdar - [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] * Üsküdar - [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] * Üsküdar - [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]] and then on to Eyüp along the [[Istanbul/Golden Horn|Golden Horn]] Ferries from the western suburbs eg Bakırköy also run to Kadıköy and Bostancı, but they are much more expensive than local ferries. '''Buses''' across the bridges are slow at any time, and tediously slow in rush hour (07:00-10:00 going west into Europe, 18:00-20:00 coming east into Asia). Buses across the bridges require two tickets (or the equivalent cash) rather than one (one exception is #129L Levent-Kozyatağı which visitors are unlikely to use). The most useful inter-continental buses are: * 110 - [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]] and [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] to Kadıköy * 120 - [[Istanbul/New City|Mecidiyeköy]] to Kadıköy * 112 - [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]] and [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] to Bostancı * 128 - [[Istanbul/New City|Mecidiyeköy]] to Bostancı * 129T - [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]] and [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Beşiktaş]] to Bostancı, via the foot of Çamlıca Hill However the ''metrobüs'' (#34A) is quicker, as it has a dedicated bus lane, and only needs one ticket. It runs from Beylikdüzü out in the [[Istanbul/Western Suburbs|western suburbs]] via Edirnekapı just outside [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|the old city]] and Mecidiyeköy in the [[Istanbul/New City|business district]] to Söğütlüçeşme just east of downtown Kadıköy. ''Metrobüs'' stations are usually a little off the usual tourist trail, but easily reached by a variety of public transportation, including the metro from [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim Square]] for Mecidiyeköy station. {{infobox|Overland to Üsküdar|''Kéraban-le-têtu'' ("Keraban the Inflexible") is the stubborn title character of the 1883 novel by Jules Verne. Keraban Agha is a merchant who lives in Üsküdar, Asia side, but works in Galata, Europe side. He has two business visitors from Rotterdam, and wants to entertain them at home - but the government have imposed a new tax on crossing the Bosphorus. It's ten ''para'' - a para is 1/40th of a ''kuruş'', which is 1/100th of a Turkish lira, so it's an amount you could barely see with a microscope. But it's the principle! Damn this government! I'll show them! Kereban is as fixated on getting his guests to Üsküdar as he is on not paying the tax - so he leads them there ''the wrong way''. They go overland round the entire 4000 km coastline of the Black Sea via what is now Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Crimea, Northern Caucasus, Abkhazia, and north coast of Turkey. Apart from the prospect of dinner, there's also a race against time, involving a fair young woman and an inheritance, and dastardly villains out to thwart Kereban's progress. The trio arrive at his residence after a 45-day journey. In December 2008 a group of Turkish artists repeated the journey, under the name “In the Footsteps of Jules Verne.” They had to arch around Moldova to avoid the conflict zone of Transnistria, were unable to cross the Russia-Georgia border, and encountered many other hassles. They got around in 14 days, but declared that it was even harder to follow the same route after 125 years.}} '''Dolmuş''' routes run 24 hours a day between [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]]-Kadıköy, and Taksim-Bostancı. They depart from the street next to ''Atatürk Kültür Merkezi'' in Taksim Square (opposite edge of the square from Istiklal Street) and cost about 5.50 TL/person. Or '''go overland, the wrong way round''' just to prove you can: see the infobox. ===Around the district=== The main transport hubs here are Kadıköy and Üsküdar, with ''dolmuş'', bus and minibus routes across the district. Bostancı on the Marmara coast is a secondary hub. ''Dolmuş''es ply between Kadıköy-Üsküdar, Kadıköy-Bostancı and Bostancı-Kadıköy until late at night, and also run from Kadıköy to Acıbadem, Koşuyolu and various points. '''Marmaray''', the cross-city train line, picks up at Üsküdar (transfer to M5), Ayrılıkçeşme (transfer to M4; 1.6 km north of the Kadıköy waterfront), and Söğütlüçeşme (transfer to Metrobüs; 1.7 km east of the Kadıköy waterfront) and serves the neighbourhoods and suburbs on the Marmara coast, as far east as [[Gebze]]. '''Metro line''' M4 runs from Kadıköy eastwards as far as Kartal, Pendik and Tavşantepe. An extension is underway to Sabiha Gökçen Airport, due to open in 2022. '''Metro line''' M5 runs from Üsküdar eastwards to Çekmeköy. '''By car:''' the major roads on the Asian side mostly follow a west-east axis. These are the three major roads which connect '''Kadıköy''' to locations in the east (from south to north) * The '''causeway''' (''Sahil Yolu''), which follows the Marmara coast. * '''Bağdat Avenue''' (one-way, and that is ''east to west'' which means you ''cannot'' enter from Kadıköy). * the road colloquially known as '''Minibüs Yolu'''. From '''Üsküdar''', the major road colloquially known with its former European route number '''E-5''' stretches eastwards into [[Asia]], while another road also named ''Sahil Yolu'' (Causeway) connects the neighborhoods on the bank of Bosphorus in the north to Üsküdar. '''By bicycle:''' there are some 20 km of marked bicycle lanes along the park which follows the coast, starting from a few km east of Kadıköy, passing by Bostancı and eventually reaching the eastern edge of the city.

Story has it that a powerful emperor built the tower in the middle of the sea to protect his beloved daughter from death after hearing a prophecy told by a fortune-teller, but a snake had found its way to the tower (inside a basket of fruits) and, as you have already guessed, had bitten and killed the princess, although in reality it is far more likely it was built as a lighthouse to warn the ships entering the Bosphorus about the rocky islet the tower was built on. There is also a viewing area on the coast directly opposite the Tower where you can buy tea and sit down to enjoy the scenery while listening to traditional Turkish music&mdash;a much cheaper option than the Tower itself. Try visiting right at the sunset, when the sun is reflecting off the water and the Tower's lights are turning on.

On that street and the upper one parallel to it, you’ll find lots of bars (some of which offer live music), pubs, and Turkish taverns. A few blocks uphill from there is the street colloquially known as ''Barlar Sokağı'' (Turkish for “Bars Street”), where there are more places for a drink.

Istanbul - panoramio.jpg|thumb|320px|İstiklal Avenue]] '''Galata''', and '''Beyoğlu''' further north with its main thoroughfare, the pedestrianized '''Istiklal Street''', and the adjoining '''Taksim Square''' is the district of [[Istanbul]] north of [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Sultanahmet/Old City]], across the Golden Horn. If anywhere can be regarded as the "downtown" of Istanbul, it is this district, more specifically the Taksim Square. Primarily visited for its nightlife, this district has also its own share of sights and accommodation. ==Understand== [[Image:TaksimSquare.jpg|thumb|Taksim Square]] Beginning as a village named Sykai ("the fig fields"), Galata (Turkish: ''Karaköy'') rose to prominence as a trade colony of the [[Genoa|Genoese]], also with a large population of the [[Venice|Venetians]], just north of the then-Byzantine [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Constantinople]]. After the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] captured Istanbul, the autonomous status of Galata was left largely untouched, except that its city walls were razed (all what remains of the once mighty Galata Castle are the Galata Tower, built as a tower of the castle, and a short wall section in ruins just below the metro bridge spanning over the Golden Horn). While there were a few countryside retreats of the rich and powerful as well as dervish lodges of those seeking seclusion among its wilderness at that time, the first time the '''Beyoğlu''' area ("son of the lord", probably after the certain son of a Genoese ruler of the area, who had a mansion there), formerly '''Pera''' (Greek for "the other side", as it literally is from the point of view of Constantinople), which lies north of Galata, was settled ''en masse'' is during the 1850s, when the '''Grande Rue de Péra''' ("the Great Road of Pera"), today’s '''Istiklal Street''' (''İstiklal Caddesi''), was opened. '''Taksim Square''' (''Taksim Meydanı'') is even younger; it was developed as a city square as late as the 1930s. Starting its life as a Western/Catholic (Genoese/Venetian) foothold beside the Eastern (Orthodox Byzantine/Muslim Ottoman) Constantinople, Galata has always represented the "West". This is quite easily visible from the neo-classical architecture of the most of the area, but there is more to that than what meets the eye: the first street lighting, the first underground railway (''Tünel'', built in 1875, also the oldest in continental Europe), and the first European-style theaters in Turkey had all come about in this district. During the last century of the Ottoman Empire, when the modernization and westernization efforts reached a climax, the decision of the Ottoman dynasty to abandon the centuries-old Topkapı Palace in the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|old city]] for the western-style [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Dolmabahçe Palace]] near Beyoğlu was a symbolic act that clearly manifested the direction that was decided for the country to take. The core of the district is pedestrianised '''İstiklal Caddesi''' (or Avenue, or Boulevard), thronged by people strolling and lined by restaurants and retail outlets. It's 2 km long and connects three squares: Taksim in the north is the biggest, Galatasaray Square in the middle is really just a widening of the street, and Tünel Square in the south. A vintage tram trundles along its length. This is the former diplomatic district from when Istanbul was the capital of the Ottoman Empire, so look for the various impressive embassy buildings, nowadays consulates since the capital moved to Ankara. The British consulate in Hamalbaşı Caddesi is worth a look. ==Get in== {{infobox|Vintage tram|The famous vintage tram of Istiklal Street is not as ancient as it may seem. Well, the tram ''cars'' are ancient (dating back to the 1920s) but its track is not. The tram service in the European Side of Istanbul came to a complete end in 1961, when they were replaced by buses and their tracks were removed. In 1992, the city council decided to pedestrianize Istiklal Street (after the opening of the paralleling, much wider Tarlabaşı Boulevard, which costed the city several hundred historic buildings). After the motorized vehicles were banned from the street, its surface got a facelift and new tracks for the ancient tram were laid down.}} {{Mapframe|41.03|28.98|zoom=15|width=520|height=560|layer=W|lang=en}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q217411}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} *'''Metro''' '''line''' M2 passes through Taksim Square from [[Istanbul/New_City|the northern districts]] and from as far south as Yenikapı * '''Airport shuttle buses''' run by Havaş connect Taksim Square with [https://hava.ist/en/ Istanbul International Airport] and with Asia-side [http://www.havabus.com Sabiha Gökçen Airport]. *Because of its very centrality to city life, it’s possible to find a direct bus from everywhere but the outermost suburbs in the city to Taksim Square.

Although the distance travelled is rather short between its two stations (a whopping 573 ''meters'', which perhaps make it also the title winner for being the shortest metro line of the planet), it beats the effort one has to make to climb up the steep slope between the aforementioned locations. For its lower station, look for the sign ''Tünel'' on the side of a building just over the Galata Bridge on the western side of the street.

However, the lodge was shut down in the early years of the republic (in 1925) along with all other 'reactionary' movements in Turkey, and the building has been serving as a museum dedicated to the Mevlevi order since 2010. Downstairs is a series of rooms dealing with the daily life of an average dervish, with informational signs in Turkish and English about the history of Islam and the Mevlevi order (also notice the original wooden pillars that support the building on this floor). On the upper floor is a dancing hall, a perfect example of 19th century Ottoman Baroque, where ''sema'' dervish ceremonies are held (every Saturday and Sunday at 17:00, an extra 90 TL—buy tickets in advance, as space is limited). On the third floor is a display of various traditional Turkish/Islamic arts, including paper marbling (''ebru''), and calligraphy. After exiting the building, check out the small graveyard (or the "silent house" as the sign at its entrance says) on one side of the building, shaded by a number of hackberry trees, which Ottomans favoured to plant in the yards of mosques and graves to sign holiness. Here, the carved fez, or the basket of flowers in case of women, perched upon the highly detailed marble gravestone indicates the occupant's rank in the dervish hierarchy. At one corner of the necropolis is the grave of '''İbrahim Müteferrika''', a converted Hungarian who was the first to start automated publishing in Ottoman Turkish in the 18th century, and served as the translator of Hungarian revolutionaries who sought asylum in Turkey, such as Kossuth, who stayed for a year in [[Kütahya]], or Ferenc Rakoczi, who lived his last years in [[Tekirdağ]]. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=Crimean Memorial Church | alt=Kırım Kilisesi, Christ Church | url=http://anglicansistanbul.blogspot.com | email= | address=Kumbaracıbaşı Yokuşu | lat=41.0277 | long=28.9771 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Şişhane 220 m, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Beyoğlu 300 m, [[File:Istanbul T2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Tünel Meydanı 300 m; on one of the downhill alleys to your left when near the lower end of Istiklal St, look for street sign | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price=Free but 10 TL donation is requested for maintenance of the church | wikipedia=Crimea Memorial Church | image=Crimea Memorial Church (Kırım Kilisesi) Beyoğlu, İstanbul - Mart 2013.JPG | wikidata=Q5185447 | lastedit=2019-01-31 | content=A neo-gothic Anglican cathedral which would not be out of place in northwestern Europe, Crimean Memorial Church was built for the protestant community of the city by [[United Kingdom|Britain]] in late 1800s.

In 1299, the Dominican Friar Guillaume Bernard de Sévérac bought a house near the church, where he established a monastery with 12 friars. A new, much larger church was built near or above the chapel of San Paolo in 1325. Thereafter the church was officially dedicated to San Domenico. After the Fall of Constantinople, according to the Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Genoa, the church, which by that time was known by the Turks under the name of Mesa Domenico, remained in Genoese hands, but between 1475 and 1478 it was transformed, with minor modifications, into a mosque by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II and became known as Galata Camii ("Galata Mosque") or Cami-i Kebir ("Great Mosque"). Towards the end of the century Sultan Bayezid II assigned the building to those Muslims of Spain (Andalusia) who had fled the Spanish Inquisition and migrated to Istanbul; hence the present name Arap Camii (Arab Mosque). Today, Arap Camii is the largest mosque on the Galata side of the Golden Horn. It is one of the most interesting mosques in the city due to its early Italian [[Gothic architecture|Gothic architectural style]] and church belfry, which has practically remained unaltered even after being converted into a minaret. }} ====Jewish Heritage==== Since 1492 the prosperity and creativity of the Ottoman Jews rivaled that of the Golden Age of Spain.

Melekler Kahvesi which is a backstreet cafe is in Taksim. It is a very popular place among young people. You can play games such as Scrabble and drink Turkish coffee (6 TL). After drinking Turkish coffee, fortunetellers will look at the coffee grounds and tell your future for free. Small streets south of Taksim Square offer a variety of cafes with more than reasonable prices. Tea can cost 1-1.50 TL instead of 5-6 TL in more touristy areas. A more authentic feel with locals spending their time there and also playing boardgames. ===Hooka=== In '''Tophane''' near the waterfront are a number of well-known hooka/hubble bubble (''nargile'') cafes all clustered together, though the national ban on smoking tobacco products indoors in public places led these cafes not to serve traditional hooka unless you are sitting on their outdoor patios. In reaction to the ban, they have "invented" some other kind of hooka which does not contain tobacco and touted as ''bitkisel'' ("herbal"), thus staying within the borders of legality for smoking inside, though those passionately in love with traditional hooka usually find it unpleasant. ==Sleep== Much accommodation is business-oriented, for people on expenses.

Some other parts of this district also have some '''crime''' issues. A rule of thumb to follow would be to look for young people around having fun, which suggests that you are more likely in an OK zone. Taksim Square and Istiklal Street there are always (7/24) police officers and security cameras. Do not be afraid. This is a safe area. This part of the city is where much of the '''bar scams''' take place. These scams are explained in [[Istanbul#Scams|dedicated section of main Istanbul article]] in detail. ==Connect== There are some '''internet cafes''' on the side alleys of Istiklal Avenue, especially on the ones nearer Taksim Square. Look for the signs when passing by, especially for those hanging from the second or third floors of the buildings. Most cost around 1.50 TL/hr. {{usabledistrict}} {{IsPartOf|Istanbul}} {{geo|41.031944|28.976111}} 01cpy408zetd2fe03036mf4i3e2y9zm 4495810 4495809 2022-08-05T17:49:50Z Vidimian 1815 move the taksim monument pic up, remove the other one from the square wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Istanbul (Turkey) banner Galata Tower.jpg|pgname=Galata, Istanbul}} [[Image:Istiklal str. Istanbul - panoramio.jpg|thumb|320px|İstiklal Avenue]] '''Galata''', and '''Beyoğlu''' further north with its main thoroughfare, the pedestrianized '''Istiklal Street''', and the adjoining '''Taksim Square''' is the district of [[Istanbul]] north of [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Sultanahmet/Old City]], across the Golden Horn. If anywhere can be regarded as the "downtown" of Istanbul, it is this district, more specifically the Taksim Square. Primarily visited for its nightlife, this district has also its own share of sights and accommodation. ==Understand== [[Image:Istanbul asv2021-10 img07 Taksim Monument.jpg|thumb|Monument at Taksim Square]] Beginning as a village named Sykai ("the fig fields"), Galata (Turkish: ''Karaköy'') rose to prominence as a trade colony of the [[Genoa|Genoese]], also with a large population of the [[Venice|Venetians]], just north of the then-Byzantine [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Constantinople]]. After the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] captured Istanbul, the autonomous status of Galata was left largely untouched, except that its city walls were razed (all what remains of the once mighty Galata Castle are the Galata Tower, built as a tower of the castle, and a short wall section in ruins just below the metro bridge spanning over the Golden Horn). While there were a few countryside retreats of the rich and powerful as well as dervish lodges of those seeking seclusion among its wilderness at that time, the first time the '''Beyoğlu''' area ("son of the lord", probably after the certain son of a Genoese ruler of the area, who had a mansion there), formerly '''Pera''' (Greek for "the other side", as it literally is from the point of view of Constantinople), which lies north of Galata, was settled ''en masse'' is during the 1850s, when the '''Grande Rue de Péra''' ("the Great Road of Pera"), today’s '''Istiklal Street''' (''İstiklal Caddesi''), was opened. '''Taksim Square''' (''Taksim Meydanı'') is even younger; it was developed as a city square as late as the 1930s. Starting its life as a Western/Catholic (Genoese/Venetian) foothold beside the Eastern (Orthodox Byzantine/Muslim Ottoman) Constantinople, Galata has always represented the "West". This is quite easily visible from the neo-classical architecture of the most of the area, but there is more to that than what meets the eye: the first street lighting, the first underground railway (''Tünel'', built in 1875, also the oldest in continental Europe), and the first European-style theaters in Turkey had all come about in this district. During the last century of the Ottoman Empire, when the modernization and westernization efforts reached a climax, the decision of the Ottoman dynasty to abandon the centuries-old Topkapı Palace in the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|old city]] for the western-style [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Dolmabahçe Palace]] near Beyoğlu was a symbolic act that clearly manifested the direction that was decided for the country to take. The core of the district is pedestrianised '''İstiklal Caddesi''' (or Avenue, or Boulevard), thronged by people strolling and lined by restaurants and retail outlets. It's 2 km long and connects three squares: Taksim in the north is the biggest, Galatasaray Square in the middle is really just a widening of the street, and Tünel Square in the south. A vintage tram trundles along its length. This is the former diplomatic district from when Istanbul was the capital of the Ottoman Empire, so look for the various impressive embassy buildings, nowadays consulates since the capital moved to Ankara. The British consulate in Hamalbaşı Caddesi is worth a look. ==Get in== {{infobox|Vintage tram|The famous vintage tram of Istiklal Street is not as ancient as it may seem. Well, the tram ''cars'' are ancient (dating back to the 1920s) but its track is not. The tram service in the European Side of Istanbul came to a complete end in 1961, when they were replaced by buses and their tracks were removed. In 1992, the city council decided to pedestrianize Istiklal Street (after the opening of the paralleling, much wider Tarlabaşı Boulevard, which costed the city several hundred historic buildings). After the motorized vehicles were banned from the street, its surface got a facelift and new tracks for the ancient tram were laid down.}} {{Mapframe|41.03|28.98|zoom=15|width=520|height=560|layer=W|lang=en}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q217411}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} *'''Metro''' '''line''' M2 passes through Taksim Square from [[Istanbul/New_City|the northern districts]] and from as far south as Yenikapı * '''Airport shuttle buses''' run by Havaş connect Taksim Square with [https://hava.ist/en/ Istanbul International Airport] and with Asia-side [http://www.havabus.com Sabiha Gökçen Airport]. *Because of its very centrality to city life, it’s possible to find a direct bus from everywhere but the outermost suburbs in the city to Taksim Square.

It's the second oldest urban underground railway in the world (after London’s Underground), dating back to 1875. Although the distance travelled is rather short between its two stations (a whopping 573 ''meters'', which perhaps make it also the title winner for being the shortest metro line of the planet), it beats the effort one has to make to climb up the steep slope between the aforementioned locations. For its lower station, look for the sign ''Tünel'' on the side of a building just over the Galata Bridge on the western side of the street.

However, the lodge was shut down in the early years of the republic (in 1925) along with all other 'reactionary' movements in Turkey, and the building has been serving as a museum dedicated to the Mevlevi order since 2010. Downstairs is a series of rooms dealing with the daily life of an average dervish, with informational signs in Turkish and English about the history of Islam and the Mevlevi order (also notice the original wooden pillars that support the building on this floor). On the upper floor is a dancing hall, a perfect example of 19th century Ottoman Baroque, where ''sema'' dervish ceremonies are held (every Saturday and Sunday at 17:00, an extra 90 TL—buy tickets in advance, as space is limited). On the third floor is a display of various traditional Turkish/Islamic arts, including paper marbling (''ebru''), and calligraphy.

In 1299, the Dominican Friar Guillaume Bernard de Sévérac bought a house near the church, where he established a monastery with 12 friars. A new, much larger church was built near or above the chapel of San Paolo in 1325. Thereafter the church was officially dedicated to San Domenico. After the Fall of Constantinople, according to the Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Genoa, the church, which by that time was known by the Turks under the name of Mesa Domenico, remained in Genoese hands, but between 1475 and 1478 it was transformed, with minor modifications, into a mosque by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II and became known as Galata Camii ("Galata Mosque") or Cami-i Kebir ("Great Mosque"). Towards the end of the century Sultan Bayezid II assigned the building to those Muslims of Spain (Andalusia) who had fled the Spanish Inquisition and migrated to Istanbul; hence the present name Arap Camii (Arab Mosque).

After drinking Turkish coffee, fortunetellers will look at the coffee grounds and tell your future for free. Small streets south of Taksim Square offer a variety of cafes with more than reasonable prices. Tea can cost 1-1.50 TL instead of 5-6 TL in more touristy areas. A more authentic feel with locals spending their time there and also playing boardgames. ===Hooka=== In '''Tophane''' near the waterfront are a number of well-known hooka/hubble bubble (''nargile'') cafes all clustered together, though the national ban on smoking tobacco products indoors in public places led these cafes not to serve traditional hooka unless you are sitting on their outdoor patios. In reaction to the ban, they have "invented" some other kind of hooka which does not contain tobacco and touted as ''bitkisel'' ("herbal"), thus staying within the borders of legality for smoking inside, though those passionately in love with traditional hooka usually find it unpleasant. ==Sleep== Much accommodation is business-oriented, for people on expenses.

Some other parts of this district also have some '''crime''' issues. A rule of thumb to follow would be to look for young people around having fun, which suggests that you are more likely in an OK zone. Taksim Square and Istiklal Street there are always (7/24) police officers and security cameras. Do not be afraid. This is a safe area. This part of the city is where much of the '''bar scams''' take place. These scams are explained in [[Istanbul#Scams|dedicated section of main Istanbul article]] in detail. ==Connect== There are some '''internet cafes''' on the side alleys of Istiklal Avenue, especially on the ones nearer Taksim Square. Look for the signs when passing by, especially for those hanging from the second or third floors of the buildings. Most cost around 1.50 TL/hr. {{usabledistrict}} {{IsPartOf|Istanbul}} {{geo|41.031944|28.976111}} aitotau8zkda9fkuc6q7n6ahxtbb1wv 4495811 4495810 2022-08-05T17:50:38Z Vidimian 1815 /* Around Galata Tower */ already at "understand" wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Istanbul (Turkey) banner Galata Tower.jpg|pgname=Galata, Istanbul}} [[Image:Istiklal str. Istanbul - panoramio.jpg|thumb|320px|İstiklal Avenue]] '''Galata''', and '''Beyoğlu''' further north with its main thoroughfare, the pedestrianized '''Istiklal Street''', and the adjoining '''Taksim Square''' is the district of [[Istanbul]] north of [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Sultanahmet/Old City]], across the Golden Horn. If anywhere can be regarded as the "downtown" of Istanbul, it is this district, more specifically the Taksim Square. Primarily visited for its nightlife, this district has also its own share of sights and accommodation. ==Understand== [[Image:Istanbul asv2021-10 img07 Taksim Monument.jpg|thumb|Monument at Taksim Square]] Beginning as a village named Sykai ("the fig fields"), Galata (Turkish: ''Karaköy'') rose to prominence as a trade colony of the [[Genoa|Genoese]], also with a large population of the [[Venice|Venetians]], just north of the then-Byzantine [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Constantinople]]. After the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] captured Istanbul, the autonomous status of Galata was left largely untouched, except that its city walls were razed (all what remains of the once mighty Galata Castle are the Galata Tower, built as a tower of the castle, and a short wall section in ruins just below the metro bridge spanning over the Golden Horn). While there were a few countryside retreats of the rich and powerful as well as dervish lodges of those seeking seclusion among its wilderness at that time, the first time the '''Beyoğlu''' area ("son of the lord", probably after the certain son of a Genoese ruler of the area, who had a mansion there), formerly '''Pera''' (Greek for "the other side", as it literally is from the point of view of Constantinople), which lies north of Galata, was settled ''en masse'' is during the 1850s, when the '''Grande Rue de Péra''' ("the Great Road of Pera"), today’s '''Istiklal Street''' (''İstiklal Caddesi''), was opened. '''Taksim Square''' (''Taksim Meydanı'') is even younger; it was developed as a city square as late as the 1930s. Starting its life as a Western/Catholic (Genoese/Venetian) foothold beside the Eastern (Orthodox Byzantine/Muslim Ottoman) Constantinople, Galata has always represented the "West". This is quite easily visible from the neo-classical architecture of the most of the area, but there is more to that than what meets the eye: the first street lighting, the first underground railway (''Tünel'', built in 1875, also the oldest in continental Europe), and the first European-style theaters in Turkey had all come about in this district. During the last century of the Ottoman Empire, when the modernization and westernization efforts reached a climax, the decision of the Ottoman dynasty to abandon the centuries-old Topkapı Palace in the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|old city]] for the western-style [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Dolmabahçe Palace]] near Beyoğlu was a symbolic act that clearly manifested the direction that was decided for the country to take. The core of the district is pedestrianised '''İstiklal Caddesi''' (or Avenue, or Boulevard), thronged by people strolling and lined by restaurants and retail outlets. It's 2 km long and connects three squares: Taksim in the north is the biggest, Galatasaray Square in the middle is really just a widening of the street, and Tünel Square in the south. A vintage tram trundles along its length. This is the former diplomatic district from when Istanbul was the capital of the Ottoman Empire, so look for the various impressive embassy buildings, nowadays consulates since the capital moved to Ankara. The British consulate in Hamalbaşı Caddesi is worth a look. ==Get in== {{infobox|Vintage tram|The famous vintage tram of Istiklal Street is not as ancient as it may seem. Well, the tram ''cars'' are ancient (dating back to the 1920s) but its track is not. The tram service in the European Side of Istanbul came to a complete end in 1961, when they were replaced by buses and their tracks were removed. In 1992, the city council decided to pedestrianize Istiklal Street (after the opening of the paralleling, much wider Tarlabaşı Boulevard, which costed the city several hundred historic buildings). After the motorized vehicles were banned from the street, its surface got a facelift and new tracks for the ancient tram were laid down.}} {{Mapframe|41.03|28.98|zoom=15|width=520|height=560|layer=W|lang=en}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q217411}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} *'''Metro''' '''line''' M2 passes through Taksim Square from [[Istanbul/New_City|the northern districts]] and from as far south as Yenikapı * '''Airport shuttle buses''' run by Havaş connect Taksim Square with [https://hava.ist/en/ Istanbul International Airport] and with Asia-side [http://www.havabus.com Sabiha Gökçen Airport]. *Because of its very centrality to city life, it’s possible to find a direct bus from everywhere but the outermost suburbs in the city to Taksim Square.

Although the distance travelled is rather short between its two stations (a whopping 573 ''meters'', which perhaps make it also the title winner for being the shortest metro line of the planet), it beats the effort one has to make to climb up the steep slope between the aforementioned locations. For its lower station, look for the sign ''Tünel'' on the side of a building just over the Galata Bridge on the western side of the street.

However, the lodge was shut down in the early years of the republic (in 1925) along with all other 'reactionary' movements in Turkey, and the building has been serving as a museum dedicated to the Mevlevi order since 2010.

In 1299, the Dominican Friar Guillaume Bernard de Sévérac bought a house near the church, where he established a monastery with 12 friars. A new, much larger church was built near or above the chapel of San Paolo in 1325. Thereafter the church was officially dedicated to San Domenico. After the Fall of Constantinople, according to the Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Genoa, the church, which by that time was known by the Turks under the name of Mesa Domenico, remained in Genoese hands, but between 1475 and 1478 it was transformed, with minor modifications, into a mosque by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II and became known as Galata Camii ("Galata Mosque") or Cami-i Kebir ("Great Mosque"). Towards the end of the century Sultan Bayezid II assigned the building to those Muslims of Spain (Andalusia) who had fled the Spanish Inquisition and migrated to Istanbul; hence the present name Arap Camii (Arab Mosque). Today, Arap Camii is the largest mosque on the Galata side of the Golden Horn. It is one of the most interesting mosques in the city due to its early Italian [[Gothic architecture|Gothic architectural style]] and church belfry, which has practically remained unaltered even after being converted into a minaret. }} ====Jewish Heritage==== Since 1492 the prosperity and creativity of the Ottoman Jews rivaled that of the Golden Age of Spain.

In reaction to the ban, they have "invented" some other kind of hooka which does not contain tobacco and touted as ''bitkisel'' ("herbal"), thus staying within the borders of legality for smoking inside, though those passionately in love with traditional hooka usually find it unpleasant. ==Sleep== Much accommodation is business-oriented, for people on expenses.

Some other parts of this district also have some '''crime''' issues. A rule of thumb to follow would be to look for young people around having fun, which suggests that you are more likely in an OK zone. Taksim Square and Istiklal Street there are always (7/24) police officers and security cameras. Do not be afraid. This is a safe area. This part of the city is where much of the '''bar scams''' take place. These scams are explained in [[Istanbul#Scams|dedicated section of main Istanbul article]] in detail. ==Connect== There are some '''internet cafes''' on the side alleys of Istiklal Avenue, especially on the ones nearer Taksim Square. Look for the signs when passing by, especially for those hanging from the second or third floors of the buildings. Most cost around 1.50 TL/hr. {{usabledistrict}} {{IsPartOf|Istanbul}} {{geo|41.031944|28.976111}} 19ydftfty28d70ql89rts5jp0fe0zmr 4495846 4495811 2022-08-05T20:45:17Z Vidimian 1815 ce wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Istanbul (Turkey) banner Galata Tower.jpg|pgname=Galata, Istanbul}} [[Image:Istiklal str. Istanbul - panoramio.jpg|thumb|320px|İstiklal Avenue]] '''Galata''' is just north, across the Golden Horn, from the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old City]] of [[Istanbul]]. Further north is '''Beyoğlu''': '''İstiklal Avenue''' is its thoroughfare, and adjoining '''Taksim Square''' is considered the heart of the city — if it were sensible to speak of "downtown Istanbul", that would most likely refer to this area. Besides the Sultanahmet/Old City area, this is where you will spend most time during your Istanbul trip — the district has its fair share of sights, dining, nightlife, and accommodation. ==Understand== [[Image:Istanbul asv2021-10 img07 Taksim Monument.jpg|thumb|Monument at Taksim Square]] Galata (Turkish: ''Karaköy'') has its beginnings in a village named Sykai ("fig fields"). It rose to prominence as a trade colony of the [[Genoa|Genoese]], also with a large population of the [[Venice|Venetians]], adjacent to then-Byzantine [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Constantinople]]. After the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] captured Istanbul, the previous arrangement was more or less left intact — Galata was still autonomus, but had its city walls razed (all that remains of the once mighty Galata Castle are the Galata Tower, and a short section of wall ruins below the Golden Horn metro bridge). To the north, there were only a few lodges of the dervishes seeking seclusion in wilderness as well as a few countryside mansions of the rich and powerful, including a son of a Genoese ruler of Galata. It was him whom the area is named after: '''Beyoğlu''', "son of the lord". Europeans knew this area after its Greek name, '''Pera''', "the other side", as per the point of view of Constantinople. Beyoğlu/Pera wasn't settled en masse until the 1850s, when the '''Grande Rue de Péra''' (Great Avenue of Pera) or present-day '''İstiklal Avenue''' (''İstiklal Caddesi'') was opened. Further north, '''Taksim Square''' (''Taksim Meydanı'') is even younger; it was developed as a city square as late as the 1930s. Ever since its cornerstone was laid as a Western/Catholic (Genoese/Venetian) foothold just beside the Eastern (Orthodox Byzantine/Muslim Ottoman) Constantinople, Galata has always been destined to represent the "West". This is quite easily visible from the area's dominating architectural styles — whichever was in vogue in Europe was instantly adopted here — but there is more than meets the eye: the first street lighting, the first underground railway (''Tünel'', built in 1875, also the oldest in continental Europe), and the first European-style theatres in Turkey had all come about in this district. During the last century of the Ottoman Empire, when the modernization and westernization efforts reached a climax, the decision of the Ottoman dynasty to abandon the Topkapı Palace, their centuries-old and distinctly Oriental seat in [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old Istanbul]], in favour of the western-style [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Dolmabahçe Palace]] near Beyoğlu was a symbolic act that clearly manifested the direction the country would get to take. The core of the district is pedestrianised İstiklal Avenue, thronged by people strolling and lined by restaurants and retail outlets. It's 2 km long and connects three squares: Taksim in the north is the biggest, Galatasaray Square in the middle is really just a widening of the street, and Tünel Square is at the southern end. A vintage tram trundles along its length. This was also the diplomatic district when Istanbul was the capital of the Ottoman Empire, so look for the various impressive embassy buildings, nowadays consulates since the capital was moved to Ankara. The British consulate in Hamalbaşı Caddesi is one of those worth a look. ==Get in== {{infobox|Vintage tram|The famous vintage tram of Istiklal Street is not as ancient as it may seem. Well, the tram ''cars'' are ancient (dating back to the 1920s) but its track is not. The tram service in the European Side of Istanbul came to a complete end in 1961, when they were replaced by buses and their tracks were removed. In 1992, the city council decided to pedestrianize Istiklal Street (after the opening of the paralleling, much wider Tarlabaşı Boulevard, which costed the city several hundred historic buildings). After the motorized vehicles were banned from the street, its surface got a facelift and new tracks for the ancient tram were laid down.}} {{Mapframe|41.03|28.98|zoom=15|width=520|height=560|layer=W|lang=en}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q217411}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} *'''Metro''' '''line''' M2 passes through Taksim Square from [[Istanbul/New_City|the northern districts]] and from as far south as Yenikapı * '''Airport shuttle buses''' run by Havaş connect Taksim Square with [https://hava.ist/en/ Istanbul International Airport] and with Asia-side [http://www.havabus.com Sabiha Gökçen Airport]. *Because of its very centrality to city life, it’s possible to find a direct bus from everywhere but the outermost suburbs in the city to Taksim Square.

Although the distance travelled is rather short between its two stations (a whopping 573 ''meters'', which perhaps make it also the title winner for being the shortest metro line of the planet), it beats the effort one has to make to climb up the steep slope between the aforementioned locations. For its lower station, look for the sign ''Tünel'' on the side of a building just over the Galata Bridge on the western side of the street.

Downstairs is a series of rooms dealing with the daily life of an average dervish, with informational signs in Turkish and English about the history of Islam and the Mevlevi order (also notice the original wooden pillars that support the building on this floor). On the upper floor is a dancing hall, a perfect example of 19th century Ottoman Baroque, where ''sema'' dervish ceremonies are held (every Saturday and Sunday at 17:00, an extra 90 TL—buy tickets in advance, as space is limited). On the third floor is a display of various traditional Turkish/Islamic arts, including paper marbling (''ebru''), and calligraphy. After exiting the building, check out the small graveyard (or the "silent house" as the sign at its entrance says) on one side of the building, shaded by a number of hackberry trees, which Ottomans favoured to plant in the yards of mosques and graves to sign holiness. Here, the carved fez, or the basket of flowers in case of women, perched upon the highly detailed marble gravestone indicates the occupant's rank in the dervish hierarchy. At one corner of the necropolis is the grave of '''İbrahim Müteferrika''', a converted Hungarian who was the first to start automated publishing in Ottoman Turkish in the 18th century, and served as the translator of Hungarian revolutionaries who sought asylum in Turkey, such as Kossuth, who stayed for a year in [[Kütahya]], or Ferenc Rakoczi, who lived his last years in [[Tekirdağ]]. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=Crimean Memorial Church | alt=Kırım Kilisesi, Christ Church | url=http://anglicansistanbul.blogspot.com | email= | address=Kumbaracıbaşı Yokuşu | lat=41.0277 | long=28.9771 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Şişhane 220 m, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Beyoğlu 300 m, [[File:Istanbul T2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Tünel Meydanı 300 m; on one of the downhill alleys to your left when near the lower end of Istiklal St, look for street sign | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price=Free but 10 TL donation is requested for maintenance of the church | wikipedia=Crimea Memorial Church | image=Crimea Memorial Church (Kırım Kilisesi) Beyoğlu, İstanbul - Mart 2013.JPG | wikidata=Q5185447 | lastedit=2019-01-31 | content=A neo-gothic Anglican cathedral which would not be out of place in northwestern Europe, Crimean Memorial Church was built for the protestant community of the city by [[United Kingdom|Britain]] in late 1800s.

In 1299, the Dominican Friar Guillaume Bernard de Sévérac bought a house near the church, where he established a monastery with 12 friars. A new, much larger church was built near or above the chapel of San Paolo in 1325. Thereafter the church was officially dedicated to San Domenico. After the Fall of Constantinople, according to the Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Genoa, the church, which by that time was known by the Turks under the name of Mesa Domenico, remained in Genoese hands, but between 1475 and 1478 it was transformed, with minor modifications, into a mosque by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II and became known as Galata Camii ("Galata Mosque") or Cami-i Kebir ("Great Mosque"). Towards the end of the century Sultan Bayezid II assigned the building to those Muslims of Spain (Andalusia) who had fled the Spanish Inquisition and migrated to Istanbul; hence the present name Arap Camii (Arab Mosque). Today, Arap Camii is the largest mosque on the Galata side of the Golden Horn. It is one of the most interesting mosques in the city due to its early Italian [[Gothic architecture|Gothic architectural style]] and church belfry, which has practically remained unaltered even after being converted into a minaret. }} ====Jewish Heritage==== Since 1492 the prosperity and creativity of the Ottoman Jews rivaled that of the Golden Age of Spain.

Some other parts of this district also have some '''crime''' issues. A rule of thumb to follow would be to look for young people around having fun, which suggests that you are more likely in an OK zone. Taksim Square and Istiklal Street there are always (7/24) police officers and security cameras. Do not be afraid. This is a safe area. This part of the city is where much of the '''bar scams''' take place. These scams are explained in [[Istanbul#Scams|dedicated section of main Istanbul article]] in detail. ==Connect== There are some '''internet cafes''' on the side alleys of Istiklal Avenue, especially on the ones nearer Taksim Square. Look for the signs when passing by, especially for those hanging from the second or third floors of the buildings. Most cost around 1.50 TL/hr. {{usabledistrict}} {{IsPartOf|Istanbul}} {{geo|41.031944|28.976111}} 05gri9cvjh19guia8bvsm26x6iz7t4o 4495850 4495846 2022-08-05T20:48:06Z Vidimian 1815 /* Understand */ sp wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Istanbul (Turkey) banner Galata Tower.jpg|pgname=Galata, Istanbul}} [[Image:Istiklal str. Istanbul - panoramio.jpg|thumb|320px|İstiklal Avenue]] '''Galata''' is just north, across the Golden Horn, from the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old City]] of [[Istanbul]]. Further north is '''Beyoğlu''': '''İstiklal Avenue''' is its thoroughfare, and adjoining '''Taksim Square''' is considered the heart of the city — if it were sensible to speak of "downtown Istanbul", that would most likely refer to this area. Besides the Sultanahmet/Old City area, this is where you will spend most time during your Istanbul trip — the district has its fair share of sights, dining, nightlife, and accommodation. ==Understand== [[Image:Istanbul asv2021-10 img07 Taksim Monument.jpg|thumb|Monument at Taksim Square]] Galata (Turkish: ''Karaköy'') has its beginnings in a village named Sykai ("fig fields"). It rose to prominence as a trade colony of the [[Genoa|Genoese]], also with a large population of the [[Venice|Venetians]], adjacent to then-Byzantine [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Constantinople]]. After the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] captured Istanbul, the previous arrangement was more or less left intact — Galata was still autonomous, but had its city walls razed (all that remains of the once mighty Galata Castle are the Galata Tower, and a short section of wall ruins below the Golden Horn metro bridge). To the north, there were only a few lodges of the dervishes seeking seclusion in wilderness as well as a few countryside mansions of the rich and powerful, including a son of a Genoese ruler of Galata. It was him whom the area is named after: '''Beyoğlu''', "son of the lord". Europeans knew this area after its Greek name, '''Pera''', "the other side", as per the point of view of Constantinople. Beyoğlu/Pera wasn't settled en masse until the 1850s, when the '''Grande Rue de Péra''' (Great Avenue of Pera) or present-day '''İstiklal Avenue''' (''İstiklal Caddesi'') was opened. Further north, '''Taksim Square''' (''Taksim Meydanı'') is even younger; it was developed as a city square as late as the 1930s. Ever since its cornerstone was laid as a Western/Catholic (Genoese/Venetian) foothold just beside the Eastern (Orthodox Byzantine/Muslim Ottoman) Constantinople, Galata has always been destined to represent the "West". This is quite easily visible from the area's dominating architectural styles — whichever was in vogue in Europe was instantly adopted here — but there is more than meets the eye: the first street lighting, the first underground railway (''Tünel'', built in 1875, also the oldest in continental Europe), and the first European-style theatres in Turkey had all come about in this district. During the last century of the Ottoman Empire, when the modernization and westernization efforts reached a climax, the decision of the Ottoman dynasty to abandon the Topkapı Palace, their centuries-old and distinctly Oriental seat in [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old Istanbul]], in favour of the western-style [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Dolmabahçe Palace]] near Beyoğlu was a symbolic act that clearly manifested the direction the country would get to take. The core of the district is pedestrianised İstiklal Avenue, thronged by people strolling and lined by restaurants and retail outlets. It's 2 km long and connects three squares: Taksim in the north is the biggest, Galatasaray Square in the middle is really just a widening of the street, and Tünel Square is at the southern end. A vintage tram trundles along its length. This was also the diplomatic district when Istanbul was the capital of the Ottoman Empire, so look for the various impressive embassy buildings, nowadays consulates since the capital was moved to Ankara. The British consulate in Hamalbaşı Caddesi is one of those worth a look. ==Get in== {{infobox|Vintage tram|The famous vintage tram of Istiklal Street is not as ancient as it may seem. Well, the tram ''cars'' are ancient (dating back to the 1920s) but its track is not. The tram service in the European Side of Istanbul came to a complete end in 1961, when they were replaced by buses and their tracks were removed. In 1992, the city council decided to pedestrianize Istiklal Street (after the opening of the paralleling, much wider Tarlabaşı Boulevard, which costed the city several hundred historic buildings). After the motorized vehicles were banned from the street, its surface got a facelift and new tracks for the ancient tram were laid down.}} {{Mapframe|41.03|28.98|zoom=15|width=520|height=560|layer=W|lang=en}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q217411}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} *'''Metro''' '''line''' M2 passes through Taksim Square from [[Istanbul/New_City|the northern districts]] and from as far south as Yenikapı * '''Airport shuttle buses''' run by Havaş connect Taksim Square with [https://hava.ist/en/ Istanbul International Airport] and with Asia-side [http://www.havabus.com Sabiha Gökçen Airport]. *Because of its very centrality to city life, it’s possible to find a direct bus from everywhere but the outermost suburbs in the city to Taksim Square.

Although the distance travelled is rather short between its two stations (a whopping 573 ''meters'', which perhaps make it also the title winner for being the shortest metro line of the planet), it beats the effort one has to make to climb up the steep slope between the aforementioned locations. For its lower station, look for the sign ''Tünel'' on the side of a building just over the Galata Bridge on the western side of the street.

The oldest Mevlevi lodge in Istanbul, the convent was started in 1491, when the surrounding area was, hard to believe today but, pure wilderness beyond the city walls of Galata, although the current building dates back to 1855, which took its shape after many repairs, rebuildings, and fires. However, the lodge was shut down in the early years of the republic (in 1925) along with all other 'reactionary' movements in Turkey, and the building has been serving as a museum dedicated to the Mevlevi order since 2010. Downstairs is a series of rooms dealing with the daily life of an average dervish, with informational signs in Turkish and English about the history of Islam and the Mevlevi order (also notice the original wooden pillars that support the building on this floor). On the upper floor is a dancing hall, a perfect example of 19th century Ottoman Baroque, where ''sema'' dervish ceremonies are held (every Saturday and Sunday at 17:00, an extra 90 TL—buy tickets in advance, as space is limited). On the third floor is a display of various traditional Turkish/Islamic arts, including paper marbling (''ebru''), and calligraphy. After exiting the building, check out the small graveyard (or the "silent house" as the sign at its entrance says) on one side of the building, shaded by a number of hackberry trees, which Ottomans favoured to plant in the yards of mosques and graves to sign holiness. Here, the carved fez, or the basket of flowers in case of women, perched upon the highly detailed marble gravestone indicates the occupant's rank in the dervish hierarchy. At one corner of the necropolis is the grave of '''İbrahim Müteferrika''', a converted Hungarian who was the first to start automated publishing in Ottoman Turkish in the 18th century, and served as the translator of Hungarian revolutionaries who sought asylum in Turkey, such as Kossuth, who stayed for a year in [[Kütahya]], or Ferenc Rakoczi, who lived his last years in [[Tekirdağ]]. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=Crimean Memorial Church | alt=Kırım Kilisesi, Christ Church | url=http://anglicansistanbul.blogspot.com | email= | address=Kumbaracıbaşı Yokuşu | lat=41.0277 | long=28.9771 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Şişhane 220 m, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Beyoğlu 300 m, [[File:Istanbul T2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Tünel Meydanı 300 m; on one of the downhill alleys to your left when near the lower end of Istiklal St, look for street sign | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price=Free but 10 TL donation is requested for maintenance of the church | wikipedia=Crimea Memorial Church | image=Crimea Memorial Church (Kırım Kilisesi) Beyoğlu, İstanbul - Mart 2013.JPG | wikidata=Q5185447 | lastedit=2019-01-31 | content=A neo-gothic Anglican cathedral which would not be out of place in northwestern Europe, Crimean Memorial Church was built for the protestant community of the city by [[United Kingdom|Britain]] in late 1800s.

In 1299, the Dominican Friar Guillaume Bernard de Sévérac bought a house near the church, where he established a monastery with 12 friars. A new, much larger church was built near or above the chapel of San Paolo in 1325. Thereafter the church was officially dedicated to San Domenico. After the Fall of Constantinople, according to the Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Genoa, the church, which by that time was known by the Turks under the name of Mesa Domenico, remained in Genoese hands, but between 1475 and 1478 it was transformed, with minor modifications, into a mosque by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II and became known as Galata Camii ("Galata Mosque") or Cami-i Kebir ("Great Mosque"). Towards the end of the century Sultan Bayezid II assigned the building to those Muslims of Spain (Andalusia) who had fled the Spanish Inquisition and migrated to Istanbul; hence the present name Arap Camii (Arab Mosque). Today, Arap Camii is the largest mosque on the Galata side of the Golden Horn. It is one of the most interesting mosques in the city due to its early Italian [[Gothic architecture|Gothic architectural style]] and church belfry, which has practically remained unaltered even after being converted into a minaret. }} ====Jewish Heritage==== Since 1492 the prosperity and creativity of the Ottoman Jews rivaled that of the Golden Age of Spain.

In reaction to the ban, they have "invented" some other kind of hooka which does not contain tobacco and touted as ''bitkisel'' ("herbal"), thus staying within the borders of legality for smoking inside, though those passionately in love with traditional hooka usually find it unpleasant. ==Sleep== Much accommodation is business-oriented, for people on expenses.

Some other parts of this district also have some '''crime''' issues. A rule of thumb to follow would be to look for young people around having fun, which suggests that you are more likely in an OK zone. Taksim Square and Istiklal Street there are always (7/24) police officers and security cameras. Do not be afraid. This is a safe area. This part of the city is where much of the '''bar scams''' take place. These scams are explained in [[Istanbul#Scams|dedicated section of main Istanbul article]] in detail. ==Connect== There are some '''internet cafes''' on the side alleys of Istiklal Avenue, especially on the ones nearer Taksim Square. Look for the signs when passing by, especially for those hanging from the second or third floors of the buildings. Most cost around 1.50 TL/hr. {{usabledistrict}} {{IsPartOf|Istanbul}} {{geo|41.031944|28.976111}} cenbevik37tuo1eb14kr563eigyx9jn 4495858 4495850 2022-08-05T21:16:51Z Vidimian 1815 /* Budget */ more on wet burger wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Istanbul (Turkey) banner Galata Tower.jpg|pgname=Galata, Istanbul}} [[Image:Istiklal str. Istanbul - panoramio.jpg|thumb|320px|İstiklal Avenue]] '''Galata''' is just north, across the Golden Horn, from the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old City]] of [[Istanbul]]. Further north is '''Beyoğlu''': '''İstiklal Avenue''' is its thoroughfare, and adjoining '''Taksim Square''' is considered the heart of the city — if it were sensible to speak of "downtown Istanbul", that would most likely refer to this area. Besides the Sultanahmet/Old City area, this is where you will spend most time during your Istanbul trip — the district has its fair share of sights, dining, nightlife, and accommodation. ==Understand== [[Image:Istanbul asv2021-10 img07 Taksim Monument.jpg|thumb|Monument at Taksim Square]] Galata (Turkish: ''Karaköy'') has its beginnings in a village named Sykai ("fig fields"). It rose to prominence as a trade colony of the [[Genoa|Genoese]], also with a large population of the [[Venice|Venetians]], adjacent to then-Byzantine [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Constantinople]]. After the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] captured Istanbul, the previous arrangement was more or less left intact — Galata was still autonomous, but had its city walls razed (all that remains of the once mighty Galata Castle are the Galata Tower, and a short section of wall ruins below the Golden Horn metro bridge). To the north, there were only a few lodges of the dervishes seeking seclusion in wilderness as well as a few countryside mansions of the rich and powerful, including a son of a Genoese ruler of Galata. It was him whom the area is named after: '''Beyoğlu''', "son of the lord". Europeans knew this area after its Greek name, '''Pera''', "the other side", as per the point of view of Constantinople. Beyoğlu/Pera wasn't settled en masse until the 1850s, when the '''Grande Rue de Péra''' (Great Avenue of Pera) or present-day '''İstiklal Avenue''' (''İstiklal Caddesi'') was opened. Further north, '''Taksim Square''' (''Taksim Meydanı'') is even younger; it was developed as a city square as late as the 1930s. Ever since its cornerstone was laid as a Western/Catholic (Genoese/Venetian) foothold just beside the Eastern (Orthodox Byzantine/Muslim Ottoman) Constantinople, Galata has always been destined to represent the "West". This is quite easily visible from the area's dominating architectural styles — whichever was in vogue in Europe was instantly adopted here — but there is more than meets the eye: the first street lighting, the first underground railway (''Tünel'', built in 1875, also the oldest in continental Europe), and the first European-style theatres in Turkey had all come about in this district. During the last century of the Ottoman Empire, when the modernization and westernization efforts reached a climax, the decision of the Ottoman dynasty to abandon the Topkapı Palace, their centuries-old and distinctly Oriental seat in [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old Istanbul]], in favour of the western-style [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Dolmabahçe Palace]] near Beyoğlu was a symbolic act that clearly manifested the direction the country would get to take. The core of the district is pedestrianised İstiklal Avenue, thronged by people strolling and lined by restaurants and retail outlets. It's 2 km long and connects three squares: Taksim in the north is the biggest, Galatasaray Square in the middle is really just a widening of the street, and Tünel Square is at the southern end. A vintage tram trundles along its length. This was also the diplomatic district when Istanbul was the capital of the Ottoman Empire, so look for the various impressive embassy buildings, nowadays consulates since the capital was moved to Ankara. The British consulate in Hamalbaşı Caddesi is one of those worth a look. ==Get in== {{infobox|Vintage tram|The famous vintage tram of Istiklal Street is not as ancient as it may seem. Well, the tram ''cars'' are ancient (dating back to the 1920s) but its track is not. The tram service in the European Side of Istanbul came to a complete end in 1961, when they were replaced by buses and their tracks were removed. In 1992, the city council decided to pedestrianize Istiklal Street (after the opening of the paralleling, much wider Tarlabaşı Boulevard, which costed the city several hundred historic buildings). After the motorized vehicles were banned from the street, its surface got a facelift and new tracks for the ancient tram were laid down.}} {{Mapframe|41.03|28.98|zoom=15|width=520|height=560|layer=W|lang=en}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q217411}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} *'''Metro''' '''line''' M2 passes through Taksim Square from [[Istanbul/New_City|the northern districts]] and from as far south as Yenikapı * '''Airport shuttle buses''' run by Havaş connect Taksim Square with [https://hava.ist/en/ Istanbul International Airport] and with Asia-side [http://www.havabus.com Sabiha Gökçen Airport]. *Because of its very centrality to city life, it’s possible to find a direct bus from everywhere but the outermost suburbs in the city to Taksim Square.

[[Image:InstanbulNostalgicTram.jpg|thumb|left|Tram at Istiklal Street]] *The '''Tünel funicular''' connects Istiklal Caddesi with Karaköy on the shore of Golden Horn. It's the second oldest urban underground railway in the world (after London’s Underground), dating back to 1875.

The oldest Mevlevi lodge in Istanbul, the convent was started in 1491, when the surrounding area was, hard to believe today but, pure wilderness beyond the city walls of Galata, although the current building dates back to 1855, which took its shape after many repairs, rebuildings, and fires. However, the lodge was shut down in the early years of the republic (in 1925) along with all other 'reactionary' movements in Turkey, and the building has been serving as a museum dedicated to the Mevlevi order since 2010. Downstairs is a series of rooms dealing with the daily life of an average dervish, with informational signs in Turkish and English about the history of Islam and the Mevlevi order (also notice the original wooden pillars that support the building on this floor). On the upper floor is a dancing hall, a perfect example of 19th century Ottoman Baroque, where ''sema'' dervish ceremonies are held (every Saturday and Sunday at 17:00, an extra 90 TL—buy tickets in advance, as space is limited). On the third floor is a display of various traditional Turkish/Islamic arts, including paper marbling (''ebru''), and calligraphy. After exiting the building, check out the small graveyard (or the "silent house" as the sign at its entrance says) on one side of the building, shaded by a number of hackberry trees, which Ottomans favoured to plant in the yards of mosques and graves to sign holiness. Here, the carved fez, or the basket of flowers in case of women, perched upon the highly detailed marble gravestone indicates the occupant's rank in the dervish hierarchy. At one corner of the necropolis is the grave of '''İbrahim Müteferrika''', a converted Hungarian who was the first to start automated publishing in Ottoman Turkish in the 18th century, and served as the translator of Hungarian revolutionaries who sought asylum in Turkey, such as Kossuth, who stayed for a year in [[Kütahya]], or Ferenc Rakoczi, who lived his last years in [[Tekirdağ]]. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=Crimean Memorial Church | alt=Kırım Kilisesi, Christ Church | url=http://anglicansistanbul.blogspot.com | email= | address=Kumbaracıbaşı Yokuşu | lat=41.0277 | long=28.9771 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Şişhane 220 m, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Beyoğlu 300 m, [[File:Istanbul T2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Tünel Meydanı 300 m; on one of the downhill alleys to your left when near the lower end of Istiklal St, look for street sign | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price=Free but 10 TL donation is requested for maintenance of the church | wikipedia=Crimea Memorial Church | image=Crimea Memorial Church (Kırım Kilisesi) Beyoğlu, İstanbul - Mart 2013.JPG | wikidata=Q5185447 | lastedit=2019-01-31 | content=A neo-gothic Anglican cathedral which would not be out of place in northwestern Europe, Crimean Memorial Church was built for the protestant community of the city by [[United Kingdom|Britain]] in late 1800s.

In 1299, the Dominican Friar Guillaume Bernard de Sévérac bought a house near the church, where he established a monastery with 12 friars. A new, much larger church was built near or above the chapel of San Paolo in 1325. Thereafter the church was officially dedicated to San Domenico. After the Fall of Constantinople, according to the Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Genoa, the church, which by that time was known by the Turks under the name of Mesa Domenico, remained in Genoese hands, but between 1475 and 1478 it was transformed, with minor modifications, into a mosque by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II and became known as Galata Camii ("Galata Mosque") or Cami-i Kebir ("Great Mosque"). Towards the end of the century Sultan Bayezid II assigned the building to those Muslims of Spain (Andalusia) who had fled the Spanish Inquisition and migrated to Istanbul; hence the present name Arap Camii (Arab Mosque). Today, Arap Camii is the largest mosque on the Galata side of the Golden Horn. It is one of the most interesting mosques in the city due to its early Italian [[Gothic architecture|Gothic architectural style]] and church belfry, which has practically remained unaltered even after being converted into a minaret. }} ====Jewish Heritage==== Since 1492 the prosperity and creativity of the Ottoman Jews rivaled that of the Golden Age of Spain.

However, after a game in which Galatasaray beats one of the big teams, it is almost certain that you will see bands of rowdy fans marching up and down Istiklal Street, celebrating their team's victory (overly) enthusiastically, and chanting rather loudly—and you will be glad to have had [[Istanbul#Stay_safe|left your favourite t-shirt with the colours of the away team]] at home.}} ==Buy== Checkout the [[Bosphorus#Buy|Beşiktaş Market]] right besides Galata on the way to Beşiktaş ferry terminal. ===Shops=== * {{listing | type=buy | name=ArkeoPera | alt= | url=http://arkeopera.com | email= | address=Yenicarsi Caddesi, 16/A Petek Han, Galatasaray | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+90 212 2930378 | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit=2019-11-17 | content=Best antiquarian bookshop in Turkey, owner knows every Turkish excavation site first hand. }} * {{listing | type=buy | name=Gonul Paksoy | alt= | url= | email= | address=6/A Atiye Sokak, Tesvikiye | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+90 212 2360209 | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit=2019-11-17 | content=Peerless one-of-a-kind dresses made for royalty from refined, antique Ottoman-era cloth. }} * {{listing | type=buy | name=Paristexas Concept Store | alt= | url= | email= | address=Buyukhendek Cad. 4/A Galata, Beyoglu | lat=41.0251108 | long=28.9721525 | directions=next to the Galata Square | phone=+90 212 252 6161 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-08-23 | content= Sertaç Haznedaroğlu, the fashion-forward owner, stocks quirky Japanese labels and rare collections created for an Eastern market by designers such as Marc Jacobs, Vivienne Westwood and Chloé.

After drinking Turkish coffee, fortunetellers will look at the coffee grounds and tell your future for free. Small streets south of Taksim Square offer a variety of cafes with more than reasonable prices. Tea can cost 1-1.50 TL instead of 5-6 TL in more touristy areas. A more authentic feel with locals spending their time there and also playing boardgames. ===Hooka=== In '''Tophane''' near the waterfront are a number of well-known hooka/hubble bubble (''nargile'') cafes all clustered together, though the national ban on smoking tobacco products indoors in public places led these cafes not to serve traditional hooka unless you are sitting on their outdoor patios. In reaction to the ban, they have "invented" some other kind of hooka which does not contain tobacco and touted as ''bitkisel'' ("herbal"), thus staying within the borders of legality for smoking inside, though those passionately in love with traditional hooka usually find it unpleasant. ==Sleep== Much accommodation is business-oriented, for people on expenses.

Some other parts of this district also have some '''crime''' issues. A rule of thumb to follow would be to look for young people around having fun, which suggests that you are more likely in an OK zone. Taksim Square and Istiklal Street there are always (7/24) police officers and security cameras. Do not be afraid. This is a safe area. This part of the city is where much of the '''bar scams''' take place. These scams are explained in [[Istanbul#Scams|dedicated section of main Istanbul article]] in detail. ==Connect== There are some '''internet cafes''' on the side alleys of Istiklal Avenue, especially on the ones nearer Taksim Square. Look for the signs when passing by, especially for those hanging from the second or third floors of the buildings. Most cost around 1.50 TL/hr. {{usabledistrict}} {{IsPartOf|Istanbul}} {{geo|41.031944|28.976111}} 02j8e4cyi7ztmh9f9l4mvm1u410xgqy 4495859 4495858 2022-08-05T21:23:59Z Vidimian 1815 /* Budget */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Istanbul (Turkey) banner Galata Tower.jpg|pgname=Galata, Istanbul}} [[Image:Istiklal str. Istanbul - panoramio.jpg|thumb|320px|İstiklal Avenue]] '''Galata''' is just north, across the Golden Horn, from the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old City]] of [[Istanbul]]. Further north is '''Beyoğlu''': '''İstiklal Avenue''' is its thoroughfare, and adjoining '''Taksim Square''' is considered the heart of the city — if it were sensible to speak of "downtown Istanbul", that would most likely refer to this area. Besides the Sultanahmet/Old City area, this is where you will spend most time during your Istanbul trip — the district has its fair share of sights, dining, nightlife, and accommodation. ==Understand== [[Image:Istanbul asv2021-10 img07 Taksim Monument.jpg|thumb|Monument at Taksim Square]] Galata (Turkish: ''Karaköy'') has its beginnings in a village named Sykai ("fig fields"). It rose to prominence as a trade colony of the [[Genoa|Genoese]], also with a large population of the [[Venice|Venetians]], adjacent to then-Byzantine [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Constantinople]]. After the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] captured Istanbul, the previous arrangement was more or less left intact — Galata was still autonomous, but had its city walls razed (all that remains of the once mighty Galata Castle are the Galata Tower, and a short section of wall ruins below the Golden Horn metro bridge). To the north, there were only a few lodges of the dervishes seeking seclusion in wilderness as well as a few countryside mansions of the rich and powerful, including a son of a Genoese ruler of Galata. It was him whom the area is named after: '''Beyoğlu''', "son of the lord". Europeans knew this area after its Greek name, '''Pera''', "the other side", as per the point of view of Constantinople. Beyoğlu/Pera wasn't settled en masse until the 1850s, when the '''Grande Rue de Péra''' (Great Avenue of Pera) or present-day '''İstiklal Avenue''' (''İstiklal Caddesi'') was opened. Further north, '''Taksim Square''' (''Taksim Meydanı'') is even younger; it was developed as a city square as late as the 1930s. Ever since its cornerstone was laid as a Western/Catholic (Genoese/Venetian) foothold just beside the Eastern (Orthodox Byzantine/Muslim Ottoman) Constantinople, Galata has always been destined to represent the "West". This is quite easily visible from the area's dominating architectural styles — whichever was in vogue in Europe was instantly adopted here — but there is more than meets the eye: the first street lighting, the first underground railway (''Tünel'', built in 1875, also the oldest in continental Europe), and the first European-style theatres in Turkey had all come about in this district. During the last century of the Ottoman Empire, when the modernization and westernization efforts reached a climax, the decision of the Ottoman dynasty to abandon the Topkapı Palace, their centuries-old and distinctly Oriental seat in [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old Istanbul]], in favour of the western-style [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Dolmabahçe Palace]] near Beyoğlu was a symbolic act that clearly manifested the direction the country would get to take. The core of the district is pedestrianised İstiklal Avenue, thronged by people strolling and lined by restaurants and retail outlets. It's 2 km long and connects three squares: Taksim in the north is the biggest, Galatasaray Square in the middle is really just a widening of the street, and Tünel Square is at the southern end. A vintage tram trundles along its length. This was also the diplomatic district when Istanbul was the capital of the Ottoman Empire, so look for the various impressive embassy buildings, nowadays consulates since the capital was moved to Ankara. The British consulate in Hamalbaşı Caddesi is one of those worth a look. ==Get in== {{infobox|Vintage tram|The famous vintage tram of Istiklal Street is not as ancient as it may seem. Well, the tram ''cars'' are ancient (dating back to the 1920s) but its track is not. The tram service in the European Side of Istanbul came to a complete end in 1961, when they were replaced by buses and their tracks were removed. In 1992, the city council decided to pedestrianize Istiklal Street (after the opening of the paralleling, much wider Tarlabaşı Boulevard, which costed the city several hundred historic buildings).

The oldest Mevlevi lodge in Istanbul, the convent was started in 1491, when the surrounding area was, hard to believe today but, pure wilderness beyond the city walls of Galata, although the current building dates back to 1855, which took its shape after many repairs, rebuildings, and fires. However, the lodge was shut down in the early years of the republic (in 1925) along with all other 'reactionary' movements in Turkey, and the building has been serving as a museum dedicated to the Mevlevi order since 2010. Downstairs is a series of rooms dealing with the daily life of an average dervish, with informational signs in Turkish and English about the history of Islam and the Mevlevi order (also notice the original wooden pillars that support the building on this floor). On the upper floor is a dancing hall, a perfect example of 19th century Ottoman Baroque, where ''sema'' dervish ceremonies are held (every Saturday and Sunday at 17:00, an extra 90 TL—buy tickets in advance, as space is limited). On the third floor is a display of various traditional Turkish/Islamic arts, including paper marbling (''ebru''), and calligraphy. After exiting the building, check out the small graveyard (or the "silent house" as the sign at its entrance says) on one side of the building, shaded by a number of hackberry trees, which Ottomans favoured to plant in the yards of mosques and graves to sign holiness. Here, the carved fez, or the basket of flowers in case of women, perched upon the highly detailed marble gravestone indicates the occupant's rank in the dervish hierarchy. At one corner of the necropolis is the grave of '''İbrahim Müteferrika''', a converted Hungarian who was the first to start automated publishing in Ottoman Turkish in the 18th century, and served as the translator of Hungarian revolutionaries who sought asylum in Turkey, such as Kossuth, who stayed for a year in [[Kütahya]], or Ferenc Rakoczi, who lived his last years in [[Tekirdağ]]. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=Crimean Memorial Church | alt=Kırım Kilisesi, Christ Church | url=http://anglicansistanbul.blogspot.com | email= | address=Kumbaracıbaşı Yokuşu | lat=41.0277 | long=28.9771 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Şişhane 220 m, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Beyoğlu 300 m, [[File:Istanbul T2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Tünel Meydanı 300 m; on one of the downhill alleys to your left when near the lower end of Istiklal St, look for street sign | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price=Free but 10 TL donation is requested for maintenance of the church | wikipedia=Crimea Memorial Church | image=Crimea Memorial Church (Kırım Kilisesi) Beyoğlu, İstanbul - Mart 2013.JPG | wikidata=Q5185447 | lastedit=2019-01-31 | content=A neo-gothic Anglican cathedral which would not be out of place in northwestern Europe, Crimean Memorial Church was built for the protestant community of the city by [[United Kingdom|Britain]] in late 1800s.

In 1299, the Dominican Friar Guillaume Bernard de Sévérac bought a house near the church, where he established a monastery with 12 friars. A new, much larger church was built near or above the chapel of San Paolo in 1325. Thereafter the church was officially dedicated to San Domenico. After the Fall of Constantinople, according to the Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Genoa, the church, which by that time was known by the Turks under the name of Mesa Domenico, remained in Genoese hands, but between 1475 and 1478 it was transformed, with minor modifications, into a mosque by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II and became known as Galata Camii ("Galata Mosque") or Cami-i Kebir ("Great Mosque"). Towards the end of the century Sultan Bayezid II assigned the building to those Muslims of Spain (Andalusia) who had fled the Spanish Inquisition and migrated to Istanbul; hence the present name Arap Camii (Arab Mosque). Today, Arap Camii is the largest mosque on the Galata side of the Golden Horn. It is one of the most interesting mosques in the city due to its early Italian [[Gothic architecture|Gothic architectural style]] and church belfry, which has practically remained unaltered even after being converted into a minaret. }} ====Jewish Heritage==== Since 1492 the prosperity and creativity of the Ottoman Jews rivaled that of the Golden Age of Spain.

[http://galatasaray.org Galatasaray SK], one of the most successful and well-known Turkish soccer teams in Europe, has its roots in this district. Don't get your eyes weary by looking for a stadium, though—after their original home stadium in Taksim Square was demolished, the games have been relocated to Ali Sami Yen Stadium in [[Istanbul/New City|Mecidiyeköy]], about 5 km north of this district, from the 1960s until 2011; and after that, to Türk Telekom Arena, further north in Maslak. However, after a game in which Galatasaray beats one of the big teams, it is almost certain that you will see bands of rowdy fans marching up and down Istiklal Street, celebrating their team's victory (overly) enthusiastically, and chanting rather loudly—and you will be glad to have had [[Istanbul#Stay_safe|left your favourite t-shirt with the colours of the away team]] at home.}} ==Buy== Checkout the [[Bosphorus#Buy|Beşiktaş Market]] right besides Galata on the way to Beşiktaş ferry terminal. ===Shops=== * {{listing | type=buy | name=ArkeoPera | alt= | url=http://arkeopera.com | email= | address=Yenicarsi Caddesi, 16/A Petek Han, Galatasaray | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+90 212 2930378 | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit=2019-11-17 | content=Best antiquarian bookshop in Turkey, owner knows every Turkish excavation site first hand. }} * {{listing | type=buy | name=Gonul Paksoy | alt= | url= | email= | address=6/A Atiye Sokak, Tesvikiye | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+90 212 2360209 | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit=2019-11-17 | content=Peerless one-of-a-kind dresses made for royalty from refined, antique Ottoman-era cloth. }} * {{listing | type=buy | name=Paristexas Concept Store | alt= | url= | email= | address=Buyukhendek Cad. 4/A Galata, Beyoglu | lat=41.0251108 | long=28.9721525 | directions=next to the Galata Square | phone=+90 212 252 6161 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-08-23 | content= Sertaç Haznedaroğlu, the fashion-forward owner, stocks quirky Japanese labels and rare collections created for an Eastern market by designers such as Marc Jacobs, Vivienne Westwood and Chloé.

After drinking Turkish coffee, fortunetellers will look at the coffee grounds and tell your future for free. Small streets south of Taksim Square offer a variety of cafes with more than reasonable prices. Tea can cost 1-1.50 TL instead of 5-6 TL in more touristy areas. A more authentic feel with locals spending their time there and also playing boardgames. ===Hooka=== In '''Tophane''' near the waterfront are a number of well-known hooka/hubble bubble (''nargile'') cafes all clustered together, though the national ban on smoking tobacco products indoors in public places led these cafes not to serve traditional hooka unless you are sitting on their outdoor patios. In reaction to the ban, they have "invented" some other kind of hooka which does not contain tobacco and touted as ''bitkisel'' ("herbal"), thus staying within the borders of legality for smoking inside, though those passionately in love with traditional hooka usually find it unpleasant. ==Sleep== Much accommodation is business-oriented, for people on expenses.

Some other parts of this district also have some '''crime''' issues. A rule of thumb to follow would be to look for young people around having fun, which suggests that you are more likely in an OK zone. Taksim Square and Istiklal Street there are always (7/24) police officers and security cameras. Do not be afraid. This is a safe area. This part of the city is where much of the '''bar scams''' take place. These scams are explained in [[Istanbul#Scams|dedicated section of main Istanbul article]] in detail. ==Connect== There are some '''internet cafes''' on the side alleys of Istiklal Avenue, especially on the ones nearer Taksim Square. Look for the signs when passing by, especially for those hanging from the second or third floors of the buildings. Most cost around 1.50 TL/hr. {{usabledistrict}} {{IsPartOf|Istanbul}} {{geo|41.031944|28.976111}} h3laaq3q6aw4wj0w4frqj744ny0u911 4495863 4495859 2022-08-05T21:35:54Z Vidimian 1815 /* Get in */ change tram pic, general copyedits wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Istanbul (Turkey) banner Galata Tower.jpg|pgname=Galata, Istanbul}} [[Image:Istiklal str. Istanbul - panoramio.jpg|thumb|320px|İstiklal Avenue]] '''Galata''' is just north, across the Golden Horn, from the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old City]] of [[Istanbul]]. Further north is '''Beyoğlu''': '''İstiklal Avenue''' is its thoroughfare, and adjoining '''Taksim Square''' is considered the heart of the city — if it were sensible to speak of "downtown Istanbul", that would most likely refer to this area. Besides the Sultanahmet/Old City area, this is where you will spend most time during your Istanbul trip — the district has its fair share of sights, dining, nightlife, and accommodation. ==Understand== [[Image:Istanbul asv2021-10 img07 Taksim Monument.jpg|thumb|Monument at Taksim Square]] Galata (Turkish: ''Karaköy'') has its beginnings in a village named Sykai ("fig fields"). It rose to prominence as a trade colony of the [[Genoa|Genoese]], also with a large population of the [[Venice|Venetians]], adjacent to then-Byzantine [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Constantinople]]. After the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] captured Istanbul, the previous arrangement was more or less left intact — Galata was still autonomous, but had its city walls razed (all that remains of the once mighty Galata Castle are the Galata Tower, and a short section of wall ruins below the Golden Horn metro bridge). To the north, there were only a few lodges of the dervishes seeking seclusion in wilderness as well as a few countryside mansions of the rich and powerful, including a son of a Genoese ruler of Galata. It was him whom the area is named after: '''Beyoğlu''', "son of the lord". Europeans knew this area after its Greek name, '''Pera''', "the other side", as per the point of view of Constantinople. Beyoğlu/Pera wasn't settled en masse until the 1850s, when the '''Grande Rue de Péra''' (Great Avenue of Pera) or present-day '''İstiklal Avenue''' (''İstiklal Caddesi'') was opened. Further north, '''Taksim Square''' (''Taksim Meydanı'') is even younger; it was developed as a city square as late as the 1930s. Ever since its cornerstone was laid as a Western/Catholic (Genoese/Venetian) foothold just beside the Eastern (Orthodox Byzantine/Muslim Ottoman) Constantinople, Galata has always been destined to represent the "West". This is quite easily visible from the area's dominating architectural styles — whichever was in vogue in Europe was instantly adopted here — but there is more than meets the eye: the first street lighting, the first underground railway (''Tünel'', built in 1875, also the oldest in continental Europe), and the first European-style theatres in Turkey had all come about in this district. During the last century of the Ottoman Empire, when the modernization and westernization efforts reached a climax, the decision of the Ottoman dynasty to abandon the Topkapı Palace, their centuries-old and distinctly Oriental seat in [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old Istanbul]], in favour of the western-style [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Dolmabahçe Palace]] near Beyoğlu was a symbolic act that clearly manifested the direction the country would get to take. The core of the district is pedestrianised İstiklal Avenue, thronged by people strolling and lined by restaurants and retail outlets. It's 2 km long and connects three squares: Taksim in the north is the biggest, Galatasaray Square in the middle is really just a widening of the street, and Tünel Square is at the southern end. A vintage tram trundles along its length.

The British consulate in Hamalbaşı Caddesi is one of those worth a look. ==Get in== {{infobox|Vintage tram|The famous vintage tram of Istiklal Street is not as ancient as it may seem. Well, the tram ''cars'' are ancient (dating back to the 1920s) but its track is not. The tram service in the European Side of Istanbul came to a complete end in 1961, when they were replaced by buses and their tracks were removed. In 1992, the city council decided to pedestrianize Istiklal Street (after the opening of the paralleling, much wider Tarlabaşı Boulevard, which costed the city several hundred historic buildings). After the motorized vehicles were banned from the street, its surface got a facelift and new tracks for the ancient tram were laid down.}} {{Mapframe|41.03|28.98|zoom=15|width=520|height=560|layer=W|lang=en}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q217411}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} *'''Metro line''' M2 passes through Taksim Square from [[Istanbul/New_City|the northern districts]] and from as far south as Yenikapı. * '''Airport shuttle buses''' run by Havaş connect Taksim Square with [https://hava.ist/en/ Istanbul International Airport] and with Asia-side [http://www.havabus.com Sabiha Gökçen Airport]. *Taksim Square is very central to the city life, so it’s possible to find a direct bus from everywhere but the outermost suburbs.

The oldest Mevlevi lodge in Istanbul, the convent was started in 1491, when the surrounding area was, hard to believe today but, pure wilderness beyond the city walls of Galata, although the current building dates back to 1855, which took its shape after many repairs, rebuildings, and fires. However, the lodge was shut down in the early years of the republic (in 1925) along with all other 'reactionary' movements in Turkey, and the building has been serving as a museum dedicated to the Mevlevi order since 2010. Downstairs is a series of rooms dealing with the daily life of an average dervish, with informational signs in Turkish and English about the history of Islam and the Mevlevi order (also notice the original wooden pillars that support the building on this floor). On the upper floor is a dancing hall, a perfect example of 19th century Ottoman Baroque, where ''sema'' dervish ceremonies are held (every Saturday and Sunday at 17:00, an extra 90 TL—buy tickets in advance, as space is limited). On the third floor is a display of various traditional Turkish/Islamic arts, including paper marbling (''ebru''), and calligraphy. After exiting the building, check out the small graveyard (or the "silent house" as the sign at its entrance says) on one side of the building, shaded by a number of hackberry trees, which Ottomans favoured to plant in the yards of mosques and graves to sign holiness. Here, the carved fez, or the basket of flowers in case of women, perched upon the highly detailed marble gravestone indicates the occupant's rank in the dervish hierarchy. At one corner of the necropolis is the grave of '''İbrahim Müteferrika''', a converted Hungarian who was the first to start automated publishing in Ottoman Turkish in the 18th century, and served as the translator of Hungarian revolutionaries who sought asylum in Turkey, such as Kossuth, who stayed for a year in [[Kütahya]], or Ferenc Rakoczi, who lived his last years in [[Tekirdağ]]. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=Crimean Memorial Church | alt=Kırım Kilisesi, Christ Church | url=http://anglicansistanbul.blogspot.com | email= | address=Kumbaracıbaşı Yokuşu | lat=41.0277 | long=28.9771 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Şişhane 220 m, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Beyoğlu 300 m, [[File:Istanbul T2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Tünel Meydanı 300 m; on one of the downhill alleys to your left when near the lower end of Istiklal St, look for street sign | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price=Free but 10 TL donation is requested for maintenance of the church | wikipedia=Crimea Memorial Church | image=Crimea Memorial Church (Kırım Kilisesi) Beyoğlu, İstanbul - Mart 2013.JPG | wikidata=Q5185447 | lastedit=2019-01-31 | content=A neo-gothic Anglican cathedral which would not be out of place in northwestern Europe, Crimean Memorial Church was built for the protestant community of the city by [[United Kingdom|Britain]] in late 1800s.

In 1299, the Dominican Friar Guillaume Bernard de Sévérac bought a house near the church, where he established a monastery with 12 friars. A new, much larger church was built near or above the chapel of San Paolo in 1325. Thereafter the church was officially dedicated to San Domenico. After the Fall of Constantinople, according to the Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Genoa, the church, which by that time was known by the Turks under the name of Mesa Domenico, remained in Genoese hands, but between 1475 and 1478 it was transformed, with minor modifications, into a mosque by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II and became known as Galata Camii ("Galata Mosque") or Cami-i Kebir ("Great Mosque"). Towards the end of the century Sultan Bayezid II assigned the building to those Muslims of Spain (Andalusia) who had fled the Spanish Inquisition and migrated to Istanbul; hence the present name Arap Camii (Arab Mosque). Today, Arap Camii is the largest mosque on the Galata side of the Golden Horn. It is one of the most interesting mosques in the city due to its early Italian [[Gothic architecture|Gothic architectural style]] and church belfry, which has practically remained unaltered even after being converted into a minaret. }} ====Jewish Heritage==== Since 1492 the prosperity and creativity of the Ottoman Jews rivaled that of the Golden Age of Spain.

In reaction to the ban, they have "invented" some other kind of hooka which does not contain tobacco and touted as ''bitkisel'' ("herbal"), thus staying within the borders of legality for smoking inside, though those passionately in love with traditional hooka usually find it unpleasant. ==Sleep== Much accommodation is business-oriented, for people on expenses.

Some other parts of this district also have some '''crime''' issues. A rule of thumb to follow would be to look for young people around having fun, which suggests that you are more likely in an OK zone. Taksim Square and Istiklal Street there are always (7/24) police officers and security cameras. Do not be afraid. This is a safe area. This part of the city is where much of the '''bar scams''' take place. These scams are explained in [[Istanbul#Scams|dedicated section of main Istanbul article]] in detail. ==Connect== There are some '''internet cafes''' on the side alleys of Istiklal Avenue, especially on the ones nearer Taksim Square. Look for the signs when passing by, especially for those hanging from the second or third floors of the buildings. Most cost around 1.50 TL/hr. {{usabledistrict}} {{IsPartOf|Istanbul}} {{geo|41.031944|28.976111}} mo0lpqf1sxpebdtygfdxms7qw3iaz09 4495866 4495863 2022-08-05T22:21:09Z Vidimian 1815 another pic of the tower - the former was thematically too close to the banner wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Istanbul (Turkey) banner Galata Tower.jpg|pgname=Galata, Istanbul}} [[Image:Istiklal str. Istanbul - panoramio.jpg|thumb|320px|İstiklal Avenue]] '''Galata''' is just north, across the Golden Horn, from the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old City]] of [[Istanbul]]. Further north is '''Beyoğlu''': '''İstiklal Avenue''' is its thoroughfare, and adjoining '''Taksim Square''' is considered the heart of the city — if it were sensible to speak of "downtown Istanbul", that would most likely refer to this area. Besides the Sultanahmet/Old City area, this is where you will spend most time during your Istanbul trip — the district has its fair share of sights, dining, nightlife, and accommodation. ==Understand== [[Image:Istanbul asv2021-10 img07 Taksim Monument.jpg|thumb|Monument at Taksim Square]] Galata (Turkish: ''Karaköy'') has its beginnings in a village named Sykai ("fig fields"). It rose to prominence as a trade colony of the [[Genoa|Genoese]], also with a large population of the [[Venice|Venetians]], adjacent to then-Byzantine [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Constantinople]]. After the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] captured Istanbul, the previous arrangement was more or less left intact — Galata was still autonomous, but had its city walls razed (all that remains of the once mighty Galata Castle are the Galata Tower, and a short section of wall ruins below the Golden Horn metro bridge). To the north, there were only a few lodges of the dervishes seeking seclusion in wilderness as well as a few countryside mansions of the rich and powerful, including a son of a Genoese ruler of Galata. It was him whom the area is named after: '''Beyoğlu''', "son of the lord". Europeans knew this area after its Greek name, '''Pera''', "the other side", as per the point of view of Constantinople. Beyoğlu/Pera wasn't settled en masse until the 1850s, when the '''Grande Rue de Péra''' (Great Avenue of Pera) or present-day '''İstiklal Avenue''' (''İstiklal Caddesi'') was opened. Further north, '''Taksim Square''' (''Taksim Meydanı'') is even younger; it was developed as a city square as late as the 1930s. Ever since its cornerstone was laid as a Western/Catholic (Genoese/Venetian) foothold just beside the Eastern (Orthodox Byzantine/Muslim Ottoman) Constantinople, Galata has always been destined to represent the "West". This is quite easily visible from the area's dominating architectural styles — whichever was in vogue in Europe was instantly adopted here — but there is more than meets the eye: the first street lighting, the first underground railway (''Tünel'', built in 1875, also the oldest in continental Europe), and the first European-style theatres in Turkey had all come about in this district. During the last century of the Ottoman Empire, when the modernization and westernization efforts reached a climax, the decision of the Ottoman dynasty to abandon the Topkapı Palace, their centuries-old and distinctly Oriental seat in [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old Istanbul]], in favour of the western-style [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Dolmabahçe Palace]] near Beyoğlu was a symbolic act that clearly manifested the direction the country would get to take. The core of the district is pedestrianised İstiklal Avenue, thronged by people strolling and lined by restaurants and retail outlets. It's 2 km long and connects three squares: Taksim in the north is the biggest, Galatasaray Square in the middle is really just a widening of the street, and Tünel Square is at the southern end. A vintage tram trundles along its length. This was also the diplomatic district when Istanbul was the capital of the Ottoman Empire, so look for the various impressive embassy buildings, nowadays consulates since the capital was moved to Ankara. The British consulate in Hamalbaşı Caddesi is one of those worth a look. ==Get in== {{infobox|Vintage tram|The famous vintage tram of Istiklal Street is not as ancient as it may seem. Well, the tram ''cars'' are ancient (dating back to the 1920s) but its track is not. The tram service in the European Side of Istanbul came to a complete end in 1961, when they were replaced by buses and their tracks were removed. In 1992, the city council decided to pedestrianize Istiklal Street (after the opening of the paralleling, much wider Tarlabaşı Boulevard, which costed the city several hundred historic buildings). After the motorized vehicles were banned from the street, its surface got a facelift and new tracks for the ancient tram were laid down.}} {{Mapframe|41.03|28.98|zoom=15|width=520|height=560|layer=W|lang=en}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q217411}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} *'''Metro line''' M2 passes through Taksim Square from [[Istanbul/New_City|the northern districts]] and from as far south as Yenikapı. * '''Airport shuttle buses''' run by Havaş connect Taksim Square with [https://hava.ist/en/ Istanbul International Airport] and with Asia-side [http://www.havabus.com Sabiha Gökçen Airport]. *Taksim Square is very central to the city life, so it’s possible to find a direct bus from everywhere but the outermost suburbs.

For its lower station, look for the sign ''Tünel'' on the side of a building just over the Galata Bridge on the western side of the street.

However, the lodge was shut down in the early years of the republic (in 1925) along with all other 'reactionary' movements in Turkey, and the building has been serving as a museum dedicated to the Mevlevi order since 2010. Downstairs is a series of rooms dealing with the daily life of an average dervish, with informational signs in Turkish and English about the history of Islam and the Mevlevi order (also notice the original wooden pillars that support the building on this floor). On the upper floor is a dancing hall, a perfect example of 19th century Ottoman Baroque, where ''sema'' dervish ceremonies are held (every Saturday and Sunday at 17:00, an extra 90 TL—buy tickets in advance, as space is limited). On the third floor is a display of various traditional Turkish/Islamic arts, including paper marbling (''ebru''), and calligraphy. After exiting the building, check out the small graveyard (or the "silent house" as the sign at its entrance says) on one side of the building, shaded by a number of hackberry trees, which Ottomans favoured to plant in the yards of mosques and graves to sign holiness. Here, the carved fez, or the basket of flowers in case of women, perched upon the highly detailed marble gravestone indicates the occupant's rank in the dervish hierarchy. At one corner of the necropolis is the grave of '''İbrahim Müteferrika''', a converted Hungarian who was the first to start automated publishing in Ottoman Turkish in the 18th century, and served as the translator of Hungarian revolutionaries who sought asylum in Turkey, such as Kossuth, who stayed for a year in [[Kütahya]], or Ferenc Rakoczi, who lived his last years in [[Tekirdağ]]. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=Crimean Memorial Church | alt=Kırım Kilisesi, Christ Church | url=http://anglicansistanbul.blogspot.com | email= | address=Kumbaracıbaşı Yokuşu | lat=41.0277 | long=28.9771 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Şişhane 220 m, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Beyoğlu 300 m, [[File:Istanbul T2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Tünel Meydanı 300 m; on one of the downhill alleys to your left when near the lower end of Istiklal St, look for street sign | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price=Free but 10 TL donation is requested for maintenance of the church | wikipedia=Crimea Memorial Church | image=Crimea Memorial Church (Kırım Kilisesi) Beyoğlu, İstanbul - Mart 2013.JPG | wikidata=Q5185447 | lastedit=2019-01-31 | content=A neo-gothic Anglican cathedral which would not be out of place in northwestern Europe, Crimean Memorial Church was built for the protestant community of the city by [[United Kingdom|Britain]] in late 1800s.

In 1299, the Dominican Friar Guillaume Bernard de Sévérac bought a house near the church, where he established a monastery with 12 friars. A new, much larger church was built near or above the chapel of San Paolo in 1325. Thereafter the church was officially dedicated to San Domenico. After the Fall of Constantinople, according to the Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Genoa, the church, which by that time was known by the Turks under the name of Mesa Domenico, remained in Genoese hands, but between 1475 and 1478 it was transformed, with minor modifications, into a mosque by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II and became known as Galata Camii ("Galata Mosque") or Cami-i Kebir ("Great Mosque"). Towards the end of the century Sultan Bayezid II assigned the building to those Muslims of Spain (Andalusia) who had fled the Spanish Inquisition and migrated to Istanbul; hence the present name Arap Camii (Arab Mosque). Today, Arap Camii is the largest mosque on the Galata side of the Golden Horn. It is one of the most interesting mosques in the city due to its early Italian [[Gothic architecture|Gothic architectural style]] and church belfry, which has practically remained unaltered even after being converted into a minaret. }} ====Jewish Heritage==== Since 1492 the prosperity and creativity of the Ottoman Jews rivaled that of the Golden Age of Spain.

The '''highly decorative and colourful interior''' includes several rooms of original furnitures fit for a sultan, some of which are covered with nacre, and walls embellished with Ottoman poems praising the palace and Selim III. Downstairs is a small museum dedicated to music, which exhibit some of the instruments (violins, ouds, and kamanchehs) and gramophone records owned by Fatma Gevheri Sultana (1904–1980), the granddaughter of Abdülaziz I (r. 1861–1876).

Some other parts of this district also have some '''crime''' issues. A rule of thumb to follow would be to look for young people around having fun, which suggests that you are more likely in an OK zone. Taksim Square and Istiklal Street there are always (7/24) police officers and security cameras. Do not be afraid. This is a safe area. This part of the city is where much of the '''bar scams''' take place.

Istanbul - panoramio.jpg|thumb|320px|İstiklal Avenue]] '''Galata''' is just north, across the Golden Horn, from the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old City]] of [[Istanbul]]. Further north is '''Beyoğlu''': '''İstiklal Avenue''' is its thoroughfare, and adjoining '''Taksim Square''' is considered the heart of the city — if it were sensible to speak of "downtown Istanbul", that would most likely refer to this area. Besides the Sultanahmet/Old City area, this is where you will spend most time during your Istanbul trip — the district has its fair share of sights, dining, nightlife, and accommodation. ==Understand== [[Image:Istanbul asv2021-10 img07 Taksim Monument.jpg|thumb|Monument at Taksim Square]] Galata (Turkish: ''Karaköy'') has its beginnings in a village named Sykai ("fig fields"). It rose to prominence as a trade colony of the [[Genoa|Genoese]], also with a large population of the [[Venice|Venetians]], adjacent to then-Byzantine [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Constantinople]]. After the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] captured Istanbul, the previous arrangement was more or less left intact — Galata was still autonomous, but had its city walls razed (all that remains of the once mighty Galata Castle are the Galata Tower, and a short section of wall ruins below the Golden Horn metro bridge). To the north, there were only a few lodges of the dervishes seeking seclusion in wilderness as well as a few countryside mansions of the rich and powerful, including a son of a Genoese ruler of Galata. It was him whom the area is named after: '''Beyoğlu''', "son of the lord". Europeans knew this area after its Greek name, '''Pera''', "the other side", as per the point of view of Constantinople. Beyoğlu/Pera wasn't settled en masse until the 1850s, when the '''Grande Rue de Péra''' (Great Avenue of Pera) or present-day '''İstiklal Avenue''' (''İstiklal Caddesi'') was opened. Further north, '''Taksim Square''' (''Taksim Meydanı'') is even younger; it was developed as a city square as late as the 1930s. Ever since its cornerstone was laid as a Western/Catholic (Genoese/Venetian) foothold just beside the Eastern (Orthodox Byzantine/Muslim Ottoman) Constantinople, Galata has always been destined to represent the "West". This is quite easily visible from the area's dominating architectural styles — whichever was in vogue in Europe was instantly adopted here — but there is more than meets the eye: the first street lighting, the first underground railway (''Tünel'', built in 1875, also the oldest in continental Europe), and the first European-style theatres in Turkey had all come about in this district. During the last century of the Ottoman Empire, when the modernization and westernization efforts reached a climax, the decision of the Ottoman dynasty to abandon the Topkapı Palace, their centuries-old and distinctly Oriental seat in [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old Istanbul]], in favour of the western-style [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Dolmabahçe Palace]] near Beyoğlu was a symbolic act that clearly manifested the direction the country would get to take. The core of the district is pedestrianised İstiklal Avenue, thronged by people strolling and lined by restaurants and retail outlets. It's 2 km long and connects three squares: Taksim in the north is the biggest, Galatasaray Square in the middle is really just a widening of the street, and Tünel Square is at the southern end. A vintage tram trundles along its length. This was also the diplomatic district when Istanbul was the capital of the Ottoman Empire, so look for the various impressive embassy buildings, nowadays consulates since the capital was moved to Ankara. The British consulate in Hamalbaşı Caddesi is one of those worth a look. ==Get in== {{infobox|Vintage tram|The famous vintage tram of Istiklal Street is not as ancient as it may seem. Well, the tram ''cars'' are ancient (dating back to the 1920s) but its track is not. The tram service in the European Side of Istanbul came to a complete end in 1961, when they were replaced by buses and their tracks were removed. In 1992, the city council decided to pedestrianize Istiklal Street (after the opening of the paralleling, much wider Tarlabaşı Boulevard, which costed the city several hundred historic buildings). After the motorized vehicles were banned from the street, its surface got a facelift and new tracks for the ancient tram were laid down.}} {{Mapframe|41.03|28.98|zoom=15|width=520|height=560|layer=W|lang=en}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q217411}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} *'''Metro line''' M2 passes through Taksim Square from [[Istanbul/New_City|the northern districts]] and from as far south as Yenikapı. * '''Airport shuttle buses''' run by Havaş connect Taksim Square with [https://hava.ist/en/ Istanbul International Airport] and with Asia-side [http://www.havabus.com Sabiha Gökçen Airport]. *Taksim Square is very central to the city life, so it’s possible to find a direct bus from everywhere but the outermost suburbs.

It's the second oldest urban underground railway in the world (after London’s Underground), dating back to 1875. Although the distance travelled is rather short between its two stations (a whopping 573 ''meters'', which perhaps make it also the title winner for being the shortest metro line of the planet), it beats the effort one has to make to climb up the steep slope between its stations. For its lower station, look for the sign ''Tünel'' on the side of a building just over the Galata Bridge on the western side of the street. It costs 2.50 TL/person one-way (Istanbulkart is accepted) and departs every 5 minutes M-Sa 07:00-22:30, Su 07:30-22:30. ==See== ===Around Galata Tower=== [[File:Galata Tower, turkey, Istanbul.jpg|thumb|A street leading to the Galata Tower]] The bankers’ town of Galata and the Tower: A cosmopolis and a finance center with bankers and stock exchange crowned by the Tower which was built by the Genoese in the 14th century, offering a great birds-eye view of the old city. * {{listing | type=see | name=Galata Tower | alt=Galata Kulesi | url=https://muze.gen.tr/muze-detay/galatakulesi | email=contact@muze.gen.tr | address= | lat=41.025556 | long=28.974167 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Şişhane 500 m, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Beyoğlu 400 m downhill, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Karaköy 400 m uphill, [[File:Istanbul T2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Tünel Meydanı 400 m; between Karaköy/Galata and the lower end of Istiklal St | phone=+90 212 293 81 80 | tollfree= | hours=Daily 09:00-20:30 | price=35 TL, Museum Pass is not valid | wikipedia=Galata Tower | image=Istanbul asv2020-02 img48 Galata Tower.jpg | wikidata=Q91274 | lastedit=2019-09-16 | date=2017-10-19 | content=It was built by the Genoese on the city walls of Galata.

The oldest Mevlevi lodge in Istanbul, the convent was started in 1491, when the surrounding area was, hard to believe today but, pure wilderness beyond the city walls of Galata, although the current building dates back to 1855, which took its shape after many repairs, rebuildings, and fires. However, the lodge was shut down in the early years of the republic (in 1925) along with all other 'reactionary' movements in Turkey, and the building has been serving as a museum dedicated to the Mevlevi order since 2010. Downstairs is a series of rooms dealing with the daily life of an average dervish, with informational signs in Turkish and English about the history of Islam and the Mevlevi order (also notice the original wooden pillars that support the building on this floor). On the upper floor is a dancing hall, a perfect example of 19th century Ottoman Baroque, where ''sema'' dervish ceremonies are held (every Saturday and Sunday at 17:00, an extra 90 TL—buy tickets in advance, as space is limited). On the third floor is a display of various traditional Turkish/Islamic arts, including paper marbling (''ebru''), and calligraphy. After exiting the building, check out the small graveyard (or the "silent house" as the sign at its entrance says) on one side of the building, shaded by a number of hackberry trees, which Ottomans favoured to plant in the yards of mosques and graves to sign holiness. Here, the carved fez, or the basket of flowers in case of women, perched upon the highly detailed marble gravestone indicates the occupant's rank in the dervish hierarchy. At one corner of the necropolis is the grave of '''İbrahim Müteferrika''', a converted Hungarian who was the first to start automated publishing in Ottoman Turkish in the 18th century, and served as the translator of Hungarian revolutionaries who sought asylum in Turkey, such as Kossuth, who stayed for a year in [[Kütahya]], or Ferenc Rakoczi, who lived his last years in [[Tekirdağ]]. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=Crimean Memorial Church | alt=Kırım Kilisesi, Christ Church | url=http://anglicansistanbul.blogspot.com | email= | address=Kumbaracıbaşı Yokuşu | lat=41.0277 | long=28.9771 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Şişhane 220 m, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Beyoğlu 300 m, [[File:Istanbul T2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Tünel Meydanı 300 m; on one of the downhill alleys to your left when near the lower end of Istiklal St, look for street sign | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price=Free but 10 TL donation is requested for maintenance of the church | wikipedia=Crimea Memorial Church | image=Crimea Memorial Church (Kırım Kilisesi) Beyoğlu, İstanbul - Mart 2013.JPG | wikidata=Q5185447 | lastedit=2019-01-31 | content=A neo-gothic Anglican cathedral which would not be out of place in northwestern Europe, Crimean Memorial Church was built for the protestant community of the city by [[United Kingdom|Britain]] in late 1800s.

In 1299, the Dominican Friar Guillaume Bernard de Sévérac bought a house near the church, where he established a monastery with 12 friars. A new, much larger church was built near or above the chapel of San Paolo in 1325. Thereafter the church was officially dedicated to San Domenico. After the Fall of Constantinople, according to the Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Genoa, the church, which by that time was known by the Turks under the name of Mesa Domenico, remained in Genoese hands, but between 1475 and 1478 it was transformed, with minor modifications, into a mosque by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II and became known as Galata Camii ("Galata Mosque") or Cami-i Kebir ("Great Mosque"). Towards the end of the century Sultan Bayezid II assigned the building to those Muslims of Spain (Andalusia) who had fled the Spanish Inquisition and migrated to Istanbul; hence the present name Arap Camii (Arab Mosque). Today, Arap Camii is the largest mosque on the Galata side of the Golden Horn. It is one of the most interesting mosques in the city due to its early Italian [[Gothic architecture|Gothic architectural style]] and church belfry, which has practically remained unaltered even after being converted into a minaret. }} ====Jewish Heritage==== Since 1492 the prosperity and creativity of the Ottoman Jews rivaled that of the Golden Age of Spain.

According to the local rumour, its name (which in Turkish means "mirrored poplar") derives from the now absent mirrors gifted by [[Venice]] to the palace that were presumably "as tall as the poplars" (''aynalar kavak''). The '''highly decorative and colourful interior''' includes several rooms of original furnitures fit for a sultan, some of which are covered with nacre, and walls embellished with Ottoman poems praising the palace and Selim III. Downstairs is a small museum dedicated to music, which exhibit some of the instruments (violins, ouds, and kamanchehs) and gramophone records owned by Fatma Gevheri Sultana (1904–1980), the granddaughter of Abdülaziz I (r. 1861–1876).

Some other parts of this district also have some '''crime''' issues. A rule of thumb to follow would be to look for young people around having fun, which suggests that you are more likely in an OK zone. Taksim Square and Istiklal Street there are always (7/24) police officers and security cameras. Do not be afraid. This is a safe area. This part of the city is where much of the '''bar scams''' take place. These scams are explained in [[Istanbul#Scams|dedicated section of main Istanbul article]] in detail. ==Connect== There are some '''internet cafes''' on the side alleys of Istiklal Avenue, especially on the ones nearer Taksim Square. Look for the signs when passing by, especially for those hanging from the second or third floors of the buildings. Most cost around 1.50 TL/hr. {{usabledistrict}} {{IsPartOf|Istanbul}} {{geo|41.031944|28.976111}} cbw9zn7sy4n4ig8ne2hp9c2gkep3rxj 4495869 4495868 2022-08-05T22:38:57Z Vidimian 1815 switch the order of imgs so two vertical pics similarly focused on towers aren't very close to each other wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Istanbul (Turkey) banner Galata Tower.jpg|pgname=Galata, Istanbul}} [[Image:Istiklal str. Istanbul - panoramio.jpg|thumb|320px|İstiklal Avenue]] '''Galata''' is just north, across the Golden Horn, from the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old City]] of [[Istanbul]]. Further north is '''Beyoğlu''': '''İstiklal Avenue''' is its thoroughfare, and adjoining '''Taksim Square''' is considered the heart of the city — if it were sensible to speak of "downtown Istanbul", that would most likely refer to this area. Besides the Sultanahmet/Old City area, this is where you will spend most time during your Istanbul trip — the district has its fair share of sights, dining, nightlife, and accommodation. ==Understand== [[Image:Istanbul asv2021-10 img07 Taksim Monument.jpg|thumb|Monument at Taksim Square]] Galata (Turkish: ''Karaköy'') has its beginnings in a village named Sykai ("fig fields"). It rose to prominence as a trade colony of the [[Genoa|Genoese]], also with a large population of the [[Venice|Venetians]], adjacent to then-Byzantine [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Constantinople]]. After the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] captured Istanbul, the previous arrangement was more or less left intact — Galata was still autonomous, but had its city walls razed (all that remains of the once mighty Galata Castle are the Galata Tower, and a short section of wall ruins below the Golden Horn metro bridge). To the north, there were only a few lodges of the dervishes seeking seclusion in wilderness as well as a few countryside mansions of the rich and powerful, including a son of a Genoese ruler of Galata. It was him whom the area is named after: '''Beyoğlu''', "son of the lord". Europeans knew this area after its Greek name, '''Pera''', "the other side", as per the point of view of Constantinople. Beyoğlu/Pera wasn't settled en masse until the 1850s, when the '''Grande Rue de Péra''' (Great Avenue of Pera) or present-day '''İstiklal Avenue''' (''İstiklal Caddesi'') was opened. Further north, '''Taksim Square''' (''Taksim Meydanı'') is even younger; it was developed as a city square as late as the 1930s. Ever since its cornerstone was laid as a Western/Catholic (Genoese/Venetian) foothold just beside the Eastern (Orthodox Byzantine/Muslim Ottoman) Constantinople, Galata has always been destined to represent the "West". This is quite easily visible from the area's dominating architectural styles — whichever was in vogue in Europe was instantly adopted here — but there is more than meets the eye: the first street lighting, the first underground railway (''Tünel'', built in 1875, also the oldest in continental Europe), and the first European-style theatres in Turkey had all come about in this district. During the last century of the Ottoman Empire, when the modernization and westernization efforts reached a climax, the decision of the Ottoman dynasty to abandon the Topkapı Palace, their centuries-old and distinctly Oriental seat in [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old Istanbul]], in favour of the western-style [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Dolmabahçe Palace]] near Beyoğlu was a symbolic act that clearly manifested the direction the country would get to take. The core of the district is pedestrianised İstiklal Avenue, thronged by people strolling and lined by restaurants and retail outlets. It's 2 km long and connects three squares: Taksim in the north is the biggest, Galatasaray Square in the middle is really just a widening of the street, and Tünel Square is at the southern end. A vintage tram trundles along its length. This was also the diplomatic district when Istanbul was the capital of the Ottoman Empire, so look for the various impressive embassy buildings, nowadays consulates since the capital was moved to Ankara. The British consulate in Hamalbaşı Caddesi is one of those worth a look. ==Get in== {{infobox|Vintage tram|The famous vintage tram of Istiklal Street is not as ancient as it may seem. Well, the tram ''cars'' are ancient (dating back to the 1920s) but its track is not. The tram service in the European Side of Istanbul came to a complete end in 1961, when they were replaced by buses and their tracks were removed. In 1992, the city council decided to pedestrianize Istiklal Street (after the opening of the paralleling, much wider Tarlabaşı Boulevard, which costed the city several hundred historic buildings). After the motorized vehicles were banned from the street, its surface got a facelift and new tracks for the ancient tram were laid down.}} {{Mapframe|41.03|28.98|zoom=15|width=520|height=560|layer=W|lang=en}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q217411}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} *'''Metro line''' M2 passes through Taksim Square from [[Istanbul/New_City|the northern districts]] and from as far south as Yenikapı. * '''Airport shuttle buses''' run by Havaş connect Taksim Square with [https://hava.ist/en/ Istanbul International Airport] and with Asia-side [http://www.havabus.com Sabiha Gökçen Airport]. *Taksim Square is very central to the city life, so it’s possible to find a direct bus from everywhere but the outermost suburbs.

It's the second oldest urban underground railway in the world (after London’s Underground), dating back to 1875. Although the distance travelled is rather short between its two stations (a whopping 573 ''meters'', which perhaps make it also the title winner for being the shortest metro line of the planet), it beats the effort one has to make to climb up the steep slope between its stations. For its lower station, look for the sign ''Tünel'' on the side of a building just over the Galata Bridge on the western side of the street. It costs 2.50 TL/person one-way (Istanbulkart is accepted) and departs every 5 minutes M-Sa 07:00-22:30, Su 07:30-22:30. ==See== ===Around Galata Tower=== [[File:2019-07-28 Galata Bridge 3.jpg|thumb|350px|Galata]] The bankers’ town of Galata and the Tower: A cosmopolis and a finance center with bankers and stock exchange crowned by the Tower which was built by the Genoese in the 14th century, offering a great birds-eye view of the old city. * {{listing | type=see | name=Galata Tower | alt=Galata Kulesi | url=https://muze.gen.tr/muze-detay/galatakulesi | email=contact@muze.gen.tr | address= | lat=41.025556 | long=28.974167 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Şişhane 500 m, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Beyoğlu 400 m downhill, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Karaköy 400 m uphill, [[File:Istanbul T2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Tünel Meydanı 400 m; between Karaköy/Galata and the lower end of Istiklal St | phone=+90 212 293 81 80 | tollfree= | hours=Daily 09:00-20:30 | price=35 TL, Museum Pass is not valid | wikipedia=Galata Tower | image=Istanbul asv2020-02 img48 Galata Tower.jpg | wikidata=Q91274 | lastedit=2019-09-16 | date=2017-10-19 | content=It was built by the Genoese on the city walls of Galata.

The oldest Mevlevi lodge in Istanbul, the convent was started in 1491, when the surrounding area was, hard to believe today but, pure wilderness beyond the city walls of Galata, although the current building dates back to 1855, which took its shape after many repairs, rebuildings, and fires. However, the lodge was shut down in the early years of the republic (in 1925) along with all other 'reactionary' movements in Turkey, and the building has been serving as a museum dedicated to the Mevlevi order since 2010. Downstairs is a series of rooms dealing with the daily life of an average dervish, with informational signs in Turkish and English about the history of Islam and the Mevlevi order (also notice the original wooden pillars that support the building on this floor). On the upper floor is a dancing hall, a perfect example of 19th century Ottoman Baroque, where ''sema'' dervish ceremonies are held (every Saturday and Sunday at 17:00, an extra 90 TL—buy tickets in advance, as space is limited). On the third floor is a display of various traditional Turkish/Islamic arts, including paper marbling (''ebru''), and calligraphy. After exiting the building, check out the small graveyard (or the "silent house" as the sign at its entrance says) on one side of the building, shaded by a number of hackberry trees, which Ottomans favoured to plant in the yards of mosques and graves to sign holiness. Here, the carved fez, or the basket of flowers in case of women, perched upon the highly detailed marble gravestone indicates the occupant's rank in the dervish hierarchy. At one corner of the necropolis is the grave of '''İbrahim Müteferrika''', a converted Hungarian who was the first to start automated publishing in Ottoman Turkish in the 18th century, and served as the translator of Hungarian revolutionaries who sought asylum in Turkey, such as Kossuth, who stayed for a year in [[Kütahya]], or Ferenc Rakoczi, who lived his last years in [[Tekirdağ]]. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=Crimean Memorial Church | alt=Kırım Kilisesi, Christ Church | url=http://anglicansistanbul.blogspot.com | email= | address=Kumbaracıbaşı Yokuşu | lat=41.0277 | long=28.9771 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Şişhane 220 m, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Beyoğlu 300 m, [[File:Istanbul T2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Tünel Meydanı 300 m; on one of the downhill alleys to your left when near the lower end of Istiklal St, look for street sign | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price=Free but 10 TL donation is requested for maintenance of the church | wikipedia=Crimea Memorial Church | image=Crimea Memorial Church (Kırım Kilisesi) Beyoğlu, İstanbul - Mart 2013.JPG | wikidata=Q5185447 | lastedit=2019-01-31 | content=A neo-gothic Anglican cathedral which would not be out of place in northwestern Europe, Crimean Memorial Church was built for the protestant community of the city by [[United Kingdom|Britain]] in late 1800s.

In 1299, the Dominican Friar Guillaume Bernard de Sévérac bought a house near the church, where he established a monastery with 12 friars. A new, much larger church was built near or above the chapel of San Paolo in 1325. Thereafter the church was officially dedicated to San Domenico. After the Fall of Constantinople, according to the Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Genoa, the church, which by that time was known by the Turks under the name of Mesa Domenico, remained in Genoese hands, but between 1475 and 1478 it was transformed, with minor modifications, into a mosque by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II and became known as Galata Camii ("Galata Mosque") or Cami-i Kebir ("Great Mosque"). Towards the end of the century Sultan Bayezid II assigned the building to those Muslims of Spain (Andalusia) who had fled the Spanish Inquisition and migrated to Istanbul; hence the present name Arap Camii (Arab Mosque). Today, Arap Camii is the largest mosque on the Galata side of the Golden Horn. It is one of the most interesting mosques in the city due to its early Italian [[Gothic architecture|Gothic architectural style]] and church belfry, which has practically remained unaltered even after being converted into a minaret. }} ====Jewish Heritage==== Since 1492 the prosperity and creativity of the Ottoman Jews rivaled that of the Golden Age of Spain.

Some other parts of this district also have some '''crime''' issues. A rule of thumb to follow would be to look for young people around having fun, which suggests that you are more likely in an OK zone. Taksim Square and Istiklal Street there are always (7/24) police officers and security cameras. Do not be afraid. This is a safe area. This part of the city is where much of the '''bar scams''' take place. These scams are explained in [[Istanbul#Scams|dedicated section of main Istanbul article]] in detail. ==Connect== There are some '''internet cafes''' on the side alleys of Istiklal Avenue, especially on the ones nearer Taksim Square. Look for the signs when passing by, especially for those hanging from the second or third floors of the buildings. Most cost around 1.50 TL/hr. {{usabledistrict}} {{IsPartOf|Istanbul}} {{geo|41.031944|28.976111}} oz12oixtm3nrw9qfysuxgw7jyku4zgh 4495870 4495869 2022-08-05T22:50:41Z Vidimian 1815 /* Elsewhere */ + aynalıkavak pic wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Istanbul (Turkey) banner Galata Tower.jpg|pgname=Galata, Istanbul}} [[Image:Istiklal str. Istanbul - panoramio.jpg|thumb|320px|İstiklal Avenue]] '''Galata''' is just north, across the Golden Horn, from the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old City]] of [[Istanbul]]. Further north is '''Beyoğlu''': '''İstiklal Avenue''' is its thoroughfare, and adjoining '''Taksim Square''' is considered the heart of the city — if it were sensible to speak of "downtown Istanbul", that would most likely refer to this area. Besides the Sultanahmet/Old City area, this is where you will spend most time during your Istanbul trip — the district has its fair share of sights, dining, nightlife, and accommodation. ==Understand== [[Image:Istanbul asv2021-10 img07 Taksim Monument.jpg|thumb|Monument at Taksim Square]] Galata (Turkish: ''Karaköy'') has its beginnings in a village named Sykai ("fig fields"). It rose to prominence as a trade colony of the [[Genoa|Genoese]], also with a large population of the [[Venice|Venetians]], adjacent to then-Byzantine [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Constantinople]]. After the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] captured Istanbul, the previous arrangement was more or less left intact — Galata was still autonomous, but had its city walls razed (all that remains of the once mighty Galata Castle are the Galata Tower, and a short section of wall ruins below the Golden Horn metro bridge). To the north, there were only a few lodges of the dervishes seeking seclusion in wilderness as well as a few countryside mansions of the rich and powerful, including a son of a Genoese ruler of Galata. It was him whom the area is named after: '''Beyoğlu''', "son of the lord". Europeans knew this area after its Greek name, '''Pera''', "the other side", as per the point of view of Constantinople. Beyoğlu/Pera wasn't settled en masse until the 1850s, when the '''Grande Rue de Péra''' (Great Avenue of Pera) or present-day '''İstiklal Avenue''' (''İstiklal Caddesi'') was opened. Further north, '''Taksim Square''' (''Taksim Meydanı'') is even younger; it was developed as a city square as late as the 1930s. Ever since its cornerstone was laid as a Western/Catholic (Genoese/Venetian) foothold just beside the Eastern (Orthodox Byzantine/Muslim Ottoman) Constantinople, Galata has always been destined to represent the "West". This is quite easily visible from the area's dominating architectural styles — whichever was in vogue in Europe was instantly adopted here — but there is more than meets the eye: the first street lighting, the first underground railway (''Tünel'', built in 1875, also the oldest in continental Europe), and the first European-style theatres in Turkey had all come about in this district. During the last century of the Ottoman Empire, when the modernization and westernization efforts reached a climax, the decision of the Ottoman dynasty to abandon the Topkapı Palace, their centuries-old and distinctly Oriental seat in [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old Istanbul]], in favour of the western-style [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Dolmabahçe Palace]] near Beyoğlu was a symbolic act that clearly manifested the direction the country would get to take. The core of the district is pedestrianised İstiklal Avenue, thronged by people strolling and lined by restaurants and retail outlets. It's 2 km long and connects three squares: Taksim in the north is the biggest, Galatasaray Square in the middle is really just a widening of the street, and Tünel Square is at the southern end. A vintage tram trundles along its length. This was also the diplomatic district when Istanbul was the capital of the Ottoman Empire, so look for the various impressive embassy buildings, nowadays consulates since the capital was moved to Ankara. The British consulate in Hamalbaşı Caddesi is one of those worth a look. ==Get in== {{infobox|Vintage tram|The famous vintage tram of Istiklal Street is not as ancient as it may seem. Well, the tram ''cars'' are ancient (dating back to the 1920s) but its track is not. The tram service in the European Side of Istanbul came to a complete end in 1961, when they were replaced by buses and their tracks were removed. In 1992, the city council decided to pedestrianize Istiklal Street (after the opening of the paralleling, much wider Tarlabaşı Boulevard, which costed the city several hundred historic buildings). After the motorized vehicles were banned from the street, its surface got a facelift and new tracks for the ancient tram were laid down.}} {{Mapframe|41.03|28.98|zoom=15|width=520|height=560|layer=W|lang=en}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q217411}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} *'''Metro line''' M2 passes through Taksim Square from [[Istanbul/New_City|the northern districts]] and from as far south as Yenikapı. * '''Airport shuttle buses''' run by Havaş connect Taksim Square with [https://hava.ist/en/ Istanbul International Airport] and with Asia-side [http://www.havabus.com Sabiha Gökçen Airport]. *Taksim Square is very central to the city life, so it’s possible to find a direct bus from everywhere but the outermost suburbs.

It's the second oldest urban underground railway in the world (after London’s Underground), dating back to 1875. Although the distance travelled is rather short between its two stations (a whopping 573 ''meters'', which perhaps make it also the title winner for being the shortest metro line of the planet), it beats the effort one has to make to climb up the steep slope between its stations. For its lower station, look for the sign ''Tünel'' on the side of a building just over the Galata Bridge on the western side of the street. It costs 2.50 TL/person one-way (Istanbulkart is accepted) and departs every 5 minutes M-Sa 07:00-22:30, Su 07:30-22:30. ==See== ===Around Galata Tower=== [[File:2019-07-28 Galata Bridge 3.jpg|thumb|350px|Galata]] The bankers’ town of Galata and the Tower: A cosmopolis and a finance center with bankers and stock exchange crowned by the Tower which was built by the Genoese in the 14th century, offering a great birds-eye view of the old city. * {{listing | type=see | name=Galata Tower | alt=Galata Kulesi | url=https://muze.gen.tr/muze-detay/galatakulesi | email=contact@muze.gen.tr | address= | lat=41.025556 | long=28.974167 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Şişhane 500 m, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Beyoğlu 400 m downhill, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Karaköy 400 m uphill, [[File:Istanbul T2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Tünel Meydanı 400 m; between Karaköy/Galata and the lower end of Istiklal St | phone=+90 212 293 81 80 | tollfree= | hours=Daily 09:00-20:30 | price=35 TL, Museum Pass is not valid | wikipedia=Galata Tower | image=Istanbul asv2020-02 img48 Galata Tower.jpg | wikidata=Q91274 | lastedit=2019-09-16 | date=2017-10-19 | content=It was built by the Genoese on the city walls of Galata.

The oldest Mevlevi lodge in Istanbul, the convent was started in 1491, when the surrounding area was, hard to believe today but, pure wilderness beyond the city walls of Galata, although the current building dates back to 1855, which took its shape after many repairs, rebuildings, and fires. However, the lodge was shut down in the early years of the republic (in 1925) along with all other 'reactionary' movements in Turkey, and the building has been serving as a museum dedicated to the Mevlevi order since 2010. Downstairs is a series of rooms dealing with the daily life of an average dervish, with informational signs in Turkish and English about the history of Islam and the Mevlevi order (also notice the original wooden pillars that support the building on this floor). On the upper floor is a dancing hall, a perfect example of 19th century Ottoman Baroque, where ''sema'' dervish ceremonies are held (every Saturday and Sunday at 17:00, an extra 90 TL—buy tickets in advance, as space is limited). On the third floor is a display of various traditional Turkish/Islamic arts, including paper marbling (''ebru''), and calligraphy. After exiting the building, check out the small graveyard (or the "silent house" as the sign at its entrance says) on one side of the building, shaded by a number of hackberry trees, which Ottomans favoured to plant in the yards of mosques and graves to sign holiness. Here, the carved fez, or the basket of flowers in case of women, perched upon the highly detailed marble gravestone indicates the occupant's rank in the dervish hierarchy. At one corner of the necropolis is the grave of '''İbrahim Müteferrika''', a converted Hungarian who was the first to start automated publishing in Ottoman Turkish in the 18th century, and served as the translator of Hungarian revolutionaries who sought asylum in Turkey, such as Kossuth, who stayed for a year in [[Kütahya]], or Ferenc Rakoczi, who lived his last years in [[Tekirdağ]]. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=Crimean Memorial Church | alt=Kırım Kilisesi, Christ Church | url=http://anglicansistanbul.blogspot.com | email= | address=Kumbaracıbaşı Yokuşu | lat=41.0277 | long=28.9771 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Şişhane 220 m, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Beyoğlu 300 m, [[File:Istanbul T2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Tünel Meydanı 300 m; on one of the downhill alleys to your left when near the lower end of Istiklal St, look for street sign | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price=Free but 10 TL donation is requested for maintenance of the church | wikipedia=Crimea Memorial Church | image=Crimea Memorial Church (Kırım Kilisesi) Beyoğlu, İstanbul - Mart 2013.JPG | wikidata=Q5185447 | lastedit=2019-01-31 | content=A neo-gothic Anglican cathedral which would not be out of place in northwestern Europe, Crimean Memorial Church was built for the protestant community of the city by [[United Kingdom|Britain]] in late 1800s.

In 1299, the Dominican Friar Guillaume Bernard de Sévérac bought a house near the church, where he established a monastery with 12 friars. A new, much larger church was built near or above the chapel of San Paolo in 1325. Thereafter the church was officially dedicated to San Domenico. After the Fall of Constantinople, according to the Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Genoa, the church, which by that time was known by the Turks under the name of Mesa Domenico, remained in Genoese hands, but between 1475 and 1478 it was transformed, with minor modifications, into a mosque by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II and became known as Galata Camii ("Galata Mosque") or Cami-i Kebir ("Great Mosque"). Towards the end of the century Sultan Bayezid II assigned the building to those Muslims of Spain (Andalusia) who had fled the Spanish Inquisition and migrated to Istanbul; hence the present name Arap Camii (Arab Mosque). Today, Arap Camii is the largest mosque on the Galata side of the Golden Horn. It is one of the most interesting mosques in the city due to its early Italian [[Gothic architecture|Gothic architectural style]] and church belfry, which has practically remained unaltered even after being converted into a minaret. }} ====Jewish Heritage==== Since 1492 the prosperity and creativity of the Ottoman Jews rivaled that of the Golden Age of Spain.

Some other parts of this district also have some '''crime''' issues. A rule of thumb to follow would be to look for young people around having fun, which suggests that you are more likely in an OK zone. Taksim Square and Istiklal Street there are always (7/24) police officers and security cameras. Do not be afraid. This is a safe area. This part of the city is where much of the '''bar scams''' take place. These scams are explained in [[Istanbul#Scams|dedicated section of main Istanbul article]] in detail. ==Connect== There are some '''internet cafes''' on the side alleys of Istiklal Avenue, especially on the ones nearer Taksim Square. Look for the signs when passing by, especially for those hanging from the second or third floors of the buildings. Most cost around 1.50 TL/hr. {{usabledistrict}} {{IsPartOf|Istanbul}} {{geo|41.031944|28.976111}} mfx1pgb3j85ekpfefs5gi8fza4hlx5r 4495875 4495870 2022-08-05T23:00:54Z Vidimian 1815 /* Around Galata Tower */ this one looks better now wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Istanbul (Turkey) banner Galata Tower.jpg|pgname=Galata, Istanbul}} [[Image:Istiklal str. Istanbul - panoramio.jpg|thumb|320px|İstiklal Avenue]] '''Galata''' is just north, across the Golden Horn, from the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old City]] of [[Istanbul]]. Further north is '''Beyoğlu''': '''İstiklal Avenue''' is its thoroughfare, and adjoining '''Taksim Square''' is considered the heart of the city — if it were sensible to speak of "downtown Istanbul", that would most likely refer to this area. Besides the Sultanahmet/Old City area, this is where you will spend most time during your Istanbul trip — the district has its fair share of sights, dining, nightlife, and accommodation. ==Understand== [[Image:Istanbul asv2021-10 img07 Taksim Monument.jpg|thumb|Monument at Taksim Square]] Galata (Turkish: ''Karaköy'') has its beginnings in a village named Sykai ("fig fields"). It rose to prominence as a trade colony of the [[Genoa|Genoese]], also with a large population of the [[Venice|Venetians]], adjacent to then-Byzantine [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Constantinople]]. After the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] captured Istanbul, the previous arrangement was more or less left intact — Galata was still autonomous, but had its city walls razed (all that remains of the once mighty Galata Castle are the Galata Tower, and a short section of wall ruins below the Golden Horn metro bridge). To the north, there were only a few lodges of the dervishes seeking seclusion in wilderness as well as a few countryside mansions of the rich and powerful, including a son of a Genoese ruler of Galata. It was him whom the area is named after: '''Beyoğlu''', "son of the lord". Europeans knew this area after its Greek name, '''Pera''', "the other side", as per the point of view of Constantinople. Beyoğlu/Pera wasn't settled en masse until the 1850s, when the '''Grande Rue de Péra''' (Great Avenue of Pera) or present-day '''İstiklal Avenue''' (''İstiklal Caddesi'') was opened. Further north, '''Taksim Square''' (''Taksim Meydanı'') is even younger; it was developed as a city square as late as the 1930s. Ever since its cornerstone was laid as a Western/Catholic (Genoese/Venetian) foothold just beside the Eastern (Orthodox Byzantine/Muslim Ottoman) Constantinople, Galata has always been destined to represent the "West". This is quite easily visible from the area's dominating architectural styles — whichever was in vogue in Europe was instantly adopted here — but there is more than meets the eye: the first street lighting, the first underground railway (''Tünel'', built in 1875, also the oldest in continental Europe), and the first European-style theatres in Turkey had all come about in this district. During the last century of the Ottoman Empire, when the modernization and westernization efforts reached a climax, the decision of the Ottoman dynasty to abandon the Topkapı Palace, their centuries-old and distinctly Oriental seat in [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old Istanbul]], in favour of the western-style [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Dolmabahçe Palace]] near Beyoğlu was a symbolic act that clearly manifested the direction the country would get to take. The core of the district is pedestrianised İstiklal Avenue, thronged by people strolling and lined by restaurants and retail outlets. It's 2 km long and connects three squares: Taksim in the north is the biggest, Galatasaray Square in the middle is really just a widening of the street, and Tünel Square is at the southern end. A vintage tram trundles along its length. This was also the diplomatic district when Istanbul was the capital of the Ottoman Empire, so look for the various impressive embassy buildings, nowadays consulates since the capital was moved to Ankara. The British consulate in Hamalbaşı Caddesi is one of those worth a look. ==Get in== {{infobox|Vintage tram|The famous vintage tram of Istiklal Street is not as ancient as it may seem. Well, the tram ''cars'' are ancient (dating back to the 1920s) but its track is not. The tram service in the European Side of Istanbul came to a complete end in 1961, when they were replaced by buses and their tracks were removed. In 1992, the city council decided to pedestrianize Istiklal Street (after the opening of the paralleling, much wider Tarlabaşı Boulevard, which costed the city several hundred historic buildings). After the motorized vehicles were banned from the street, its surface got a facelift and new tracks for the ancient tram were laid down.}} {{Mapframe|41.03|28.98|zoom=15|width=520|height=560|layer=W|lang=en}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q217411}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} *'''Metro line''' M2 passes through Taksim Square from [[Istanbul/New_City|the northern districts]] and from as far south as Yenikapı. * '''Airport shuttle buses''' run by Havaş connect Taksim Square with [https://hava.ist/en/ Istanbul International Airport] and with Asia-side [http://www.havabus.com Sabiha Gökçen Airport]. *Taksim Square is very central to the city life, so it’s possible to find a direct bus from everywhere but the outermost suburbs.

It's the second oldest urban underground railway in the world (after London’s Underground), dating back to 1875. Although the distance travelled is rather short between its two stations (a whopping 573 ''meters'', which perhaps make it also the title winner for being the shortest metro line of the planet), it beats the effort one has to make to climb up the steep slope between its stations. For its lower station, look for the sign ''Tünel'' on the side of a building just over the Galata Bridge on the western side of the street. It costs 2.50 TL/person one-way (Istanbulkart is accepted) and departs every 5 minutes M-Sa 07:00-22:30, Su 07:30-22:30. ==See== ===Around Galata Tower=== [[File:Istanbul asv2020-02 img47 Galata Tower.jpg|thumb|350px|Galata Tower]] The bankers’ town of Galata and the Tower: A cosmopolis and a finance center with bankers and stock exchange crowned by the Tower which was built by the Genoese in the 14th century, offering a great birds-eye view of the old city. * {{listing | type=see | name=Galata Tower | alt=Galata Kulesi | url=https://muze.gen.tr/muze-detay/galatakulesi | email=contact@muze.gen.tr | address= | lat=41.025556 | long=28.974167 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Şişhane 500 m, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Beyoğlu 400 m downhill, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Karaköy 400 m uphill, [[File:Istanbul T2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Tünel Meydanı 400 m; between Karaköy/Galata and the lower end of Istiklal St | phone=+90 212 293 81 80 | tollfree= | hours=Daily 09:00-20:30 | price=35 TL, Museum Pass is not valid | wikipedia=Galata Tower | image=Istanbul asv2020-02 img48 Galata Tower.jpg | wikidata=Q91274 | lastedit=2019-09-16 | date=2017-10-19 | content=It was built by the Genoese on the city walls of Galata.

The oldest Mevlevi lodge in Istanbul, the convent was started in 1491, when the surrounding area was, hard to believe today but, pure wilderness beyond the city walls of Galata, although the current building dates back to 1855, which took its shape after many repairs, rebuildings, and fires. However, the lodge was shut down in the early years of the republic (in 1925) along with all other 'reactionary' movements in Turkey, and the building has been serving as a museum dedicated to the Mevlevi order since 2010. Downstairs is a series of rooms dealing with the daily life of an average dervish, with informational signs in Turkish and English about the history of Islam and the Mevlevi order (also notice the original wooden pillars that support the building on this floor). On the upper floor is a dancing hall, a perfect example of 19th century Ottoman Baroque, where ''sema'' dervish ceremonies are held (every Saturday and Sunday at 17:00, an extra 90 TL—buy tickets in advance, as space is limited). On the third floor is a display of various traditional Turkish/Islamic arts, including paper marbling (''ebru''), and calligraphy. After exiting the building, check out the small graveyard (or the "silent house" as the sign at its entrance says) on one side of the building, shaded by a number of hackberry trees, which Ottomans favoured to plant in the yards of mosques and graves to sign holiness. Here, the carved fez, or the basket of flowers in case of women, perched upon the highly detailed marble gravestone indicates the occupant's rank in the dervish hierarchy. At one corner of the necropolis is the grave of '''İbrahim Müteferrika''', a converted Hungarian who was the first to start automated publishing in Ottoman Turkish in the 18th century, and served as the translator of Hungarian revolutionaries who sought asylum in Turkey, such as Kossuth, who stayed for a year in [[Kütahya]], or Ferenc Rakoczi, who lived his last years in [[Tekirdağ]]. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=Crimean Memorial Church | alt=Kırım Kilisesi, Christ Church | url=http://anglicansistanbul.blogspot.com | email= | address=Kumbaracıbaşı Yokuşu | lat=41.0277 | long=28.9771 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Şişhane 220 m, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Beyoğlu 300 m, [[File:Istanbul T2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Tünel Meydanı 300 m; on one of the downhill alleys to your left when near the lower end of Istiklal St, look for street sign | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price=Free but 10 TL donation is requested for maintenance of the church | wikipedia=Crimea Memorial Church | image=Crimea Memorial Church (Kırım Kilisesi) Beyoğlu, İstanbul - Mart 2013.JPG | wikidata=Q5185447 | lastedit=2019-01-31 | content=A neo-gothic Anglican cathedral which would not be out of place in northwestern Europe, Crimean Memorial Church was built for the protestant community of the city by [[United Kingdom|Britain]] in late 1800s.

In 1299, the Dominican Friar Guillaume Bernard de Sévérac bought a house near the church, where he established a monastery with 12 friars. A new, much larger church was built near or above the chapel of San Paolo in 1325. Thereafter the church was officially dedicated to San Domenico. After the Fall of Constantinople, according to the Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Genoa, the church, which by that time was known by the Turks under the name of Mesa Domenico, remained in Genoese hands, but between 1475 and 1478 it was transformed, with minor modifications, into a mosque by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II and became known as Galata Camii ("Galata Mosque") or Cami-i Kebir ("Great Mosque"). Towards the end of the century Sultan Bayezid II assigned the building to those Muslims of Spain (Andalusia) who had fled the Spanish Inquisition and migrated to Istanbul; hence the present name Arap Camii (Arab Mosque). Today, Arap Camii is the largest mosque on the Galata side of the Golden Horn. It is one of the most interesting mosques in the city due to its early Italian [[Gothic architecture|Gothic architectural style]] and church belfry, which has practically remained unaltered even after being converted into a minaret. }} ====Jewish Heritage==== Since 1492 the prosperity and creativity of the Ottoman Jews rivaled that of the Golden Age of Spain.

After drinking Turkish coffee, fortunetellers will look at the coffee grounds and tell your future for free. Small streets south of Taksim Square offer a variety of cafes with more than reasonable prices. Tea can cost 1-1.50 TL instead of 5-6 TL in more touristy areas. A more authentic feel with locals spending their time there and also playing boardgames. ===Hooka=== In '''Tophane''' near the waterfront are a number of well-known hooka/hubble bubble (''nargile'') cafes all clustered together, though the national ban on smoking tobacco products indoors in public places led these cafes not to serve traditional hooka unless you are sitting on their outdoor patios. In reaction to the ban, they have "invented" some other kind of hooka which does not contain tobacco and touted as ''bitkisel'' ("herbal"), thus staying within the borders of legality for smoking inside, though those passionately in love with traditional hooka usually find it unpleasant. ==Sleep== Much accommodation is business-oriented, for people on expenses.

Some other parts of this district also have some '''crime''' issues. A rule of thumb to follow would be to look for young people around having fun, which suggests that you are more likely in an OK zone. Taksim Square and Istiklal Street there are always (7/24) police officers and security cameras. Do not be afraid. This is a safe area. This part of the city is where much of the '''bar scams''' take place. These scams are explained in [[Istanbul#Scams|dedicated section of main Istanbul article]] in detail. ==Connect== There are some '''internet cafes''' on the side alleys of Istiklal Avenue, especially on the ones nearer Taksim Square. Look for the signs when passing by, especially for those hanging from the second or third floors of the buildings. Most cost around 1.50 TL/hr. {{usabledistrict}} {{IsPartOf|Istanbul}} {{geo|41.031944|28.976111}} o380b6ex5peg10vwnb25k4mx5crni4n 4495912 4495875 2022-08-06T00:53:53Z Vidimian 1815 /* Around Galata Tower */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Istanbul (Turkey) banner Galata Tower.jpg|pgname=Galata, Istanbul}} [[Image:Istiklal str. Istanbul - panoramio.jpg|thumb|320px|İstiklal Avenue]] '''Galata''' is just north, across the Golden Horn, from the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old City]] of [[Istanbul]]. Further north is '''Beyoğlu''': '''İstiklal Avenue''' is its thoroughfare, and adjoining '''Taksim Square''' is considered the heart of the city — if it were sensible to speak of "downtown Istanbul", that would most likely refer to this area. Besides the Sultanahmet/Old City area, this is where you will spend most time during your Istanbul trip — the district has its fair share of sights, dining, nightlife, and accommodation. ==Understand== [[Image:Istanbul asv2021-10 img07 Taksim Monument.jpg|thumb|Monument at Taksim Square]] Galata (Turkish: ''Karaköy'') has its beginnings in a village named Sykai ("fig fields"). It rose to prominence as a trade colony of the [[Genoa|Genoese]], also with a large population of the [[Venice|Venetians]], adjacent to then-Byzantine [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Constantinople]]. After the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] captured Istanbul, the previous arrangement was more or less left intact — Galata was still autonomous, but had its city walls razed (all that remains of the once mighty Galata Castle are the Galata Tower, and a short section of wall ruins below the Golden Horn metro bridge). To the north, there were only a few lodges of the dervishes seeking seclusion in wilderness as well as a few countryside mansions of the rich and powerful, including a son of a Genoese ruler of Galata. It was him whom the area is named after: '''Beyoğlu''', "son of the lord". Europeans knew this area after its Greek name, '''Pera''', "the other side", as per the point of view of Constantinople. Beyoğlu/Pera wasn't settled en masse until the 1850s, when the '''Grande Rue de Péra''' (Great Avenue of Pera) or present-day '''İstiklal Avenue''' (''İstiklal Caddesi'') was opened. Further north, '''Taksim Square''' (''Taksim Meydanı'') is even younger; it was developed as a city square as late as the 1930s. Ever since its cornerstone was laid as a Western/Catholic (Genoese/Venetian) foothold just beside the Eastern (Orthodox Byzantine/Muslim Ottoman) Constantinople, Galata has always been destined to represent the "West". This is quite easily visible from the area's dominating architectural styles — whichever was in vogue in Europe was instantly adopted here — but there is more than meets the eye: the first street lighting, the first underground railway (''Tünel'', built in 1875, also the oldest in continental Europe), and the first European-style theatres in Turkey had all come about in this district. During the last century of the Ottoman Empire, when the modernization and westernization efforts reached a climax, the decision of the Ottoman dynasty to abandon the Topkapı Palace, their centuries-old and distinctly Oriental seat in [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City|Old Istanbul]], in favour of the western-style [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Dolmabahçe Palace]] near Beyoğlu was a symbolic act that clearly manifested the direction the country would get to take. The core of the district is pedestrianised İstiklal Avenue, thronged by people strolling and lined by restaurants and retail outlets. It's 2 km long and connects three squares: Taksim in the north is the biggest, Galatasaray Square in the middle is really just a widening of the street, and Tünel Square is at the southern end. A vintage tram trundles along its length. This was also the diplomatic district when Istanbul was the capital of the Ottoman Empire, so look for the various impressive embassy buildings, nowadays consulates since the capital was moved to Ankara. The British consulate in Hamalbaşı Caddesi is one of those worth a look. ==Get in== {{infobox|Vintage tram|The famous vintage tram of Istiklal Street is not as ancient as it may seem. Well, the tram ''cars'' are ancient (dating back to the 1920s) but its track is not. The tram service in the European Side of Istanbul came to a complete end in 1961, when they were replaced by buses and their tracks were removed. In 1992, the city council decided to pedestrianize Istiklal Street (after the opening of the paralleling, much wider Tarlabaşı Boulevard, which costed the city several hundred historic buildings). After the motorized vehicles were banned from the street, its surface got a facelift and new tracks for the ancient tram were laid down.}} {{Mapframe|41.03|28.98|zoom=15|width=520|height=560|layer=W|lang=en}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q217411}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} *'''Metro line''' M2 passes through Taksim Square from [[Istanbul/New_City|the northern districts]] and from as far south as Yenikapı. * '''Airport shuttle buses''' run by Havaş connect Taksim Square with [https://hava.ist/en/ Istanbul International Airport] and with Asia-side [http://www.havabus.com Sabiha Gökçen Airport]. *Taksim Square is very central to the city life, so it’s possible to find a direct bus from everywhere but the outermost suburbs.

It's the second oldest urban underground railway in the world (after London’s Underground), dating back to 1875. Although the distance travelled is rather short between its two stations (a whopping 573 ''meters'', which perhaps make it also the title winner for being the shortest metro line of the planet), it beats the effort one has to make to climb up the steep slope between its stations. For its lower station, look for the sign ''Tünel'' on the side of a building just over the Galata Bridge on the western side of the street. It costs 2.50 TL/person one-way (Istanbulkart is accepted) and departs every 5 minutes M-Sa 07:00-22:30, Su 07:30-22:30. ==See== ===Around Galata Tower=== [[File:Istanbul asv2020-02 img47 Galata Tower.jpg|thumb|350px|Galata Tower]] The bankers’ town of Galata and the Tower: A cosmopolis and a finance center with bankers and stock exchange crowned by the Tower which was built by the Genoese in the 14th century, offering a great birds-eye view of the old city. * {{listing | type=see | name=Galata Tower | alt=Galata Kulesi | url=https://muze.gen.tr/muze-detay/galatakulesi | email=contact@muze.gen.tr | address= | lat=41.025556 | long=28.974167 | directions=[[File:Istanbul M2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Şişhane 500 m, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Beyoğlu 400 m downhill, [[File:Istanbul F2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Karaköy 400 m uphill, [[File:Istanbul T2 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Tünel Meydanı 400 m; between Karaköy/Galata and the lower end of Istiklal St | phone=+90 212 293 81 80 | tollfree= | hours=Daily 09:00-20:30 | price=35 TL, Museum Pass is not valid | wikipedia=Galata Tower | image=Istanbul asv2020-02 img48 Galata Tower.jpg | wikidata=Q91274 | lastedit=2019-09-16 | date=2017-10-19 | content=It was built by the Genoese on the city walls of Galata.

However, the lodge was shut down in the early years of the republic (in 1925) along with all other 'reactionary' movements in Turkey, and the building has been serving as a museum dedicated to the Mevlevi order since 2010. Downstairs is a series of rooms dealing with the daily life of an average dervish, with informational signs in Turkish and English about the history of Islam and the Mevlevi order (also notice the original wooden pillars that support the building on this floor). On the upper floor is a dancing hall, a perfect example of 19th century Ottoman Baroque, where ''sema'' dervish ceremonies are held (every Saturday and Sunday at 17:00, an extra 90 TL—buy tickets in advance, as space is limited). On the third floor is a display of various traditional Turkish/Islamic arts, including paper marbling (''ebru''), and calligraphy. After exiting the building, check out the small graveyard (or the "silent house" as the sign at its entrance says) on one side of the building, shaded by a number of hackberry trees, which Ottomans favoured to plant in the yards of mosques and graves to sign holiness. Here, the carved fez, or the basket of flowers in case of women, perched upon the highly detailed marble gravestone indicates the occupant's rank in the dervish hierarchy.

In 1299, the Dominican Friar Guillaume Bernard de Sévérac bought a house near the church, where he established a monastery with 12 friars. A new, much larger church was built near or above the chapel of San Paolo in 1325. Thereafter the church was officially dedicated to San Domenico. After the Fall of Constantinople, according to the Capitulations of the Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Genoa, the church, which by that time was known by the Turks under the name of Mesa Domenico, remained in Genoese hands, but between 1475 and 1478 it was transformed, with minor modifications, into a mosque by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II and became known as Galata Camii ("Galata Mosque") or Cami-i Kebir ("Great Mosque"). Towards the end of the century Sultan Bayezid II assigned the building to those Muslims of Spain (Andalusia) who had fled the Spanish Inquisition and migrated to Istanbul; hence the present name Arap Camii (Arab Mosque). Today, Arap Camii is the largest mosque on the Galata side of the Golden Horn. It is one of the most interesting mosques in the city due to its early Italian [[Gothic architecture|Gothic architectural style]] and church belfry, which has practically remained unaltered even after being converted into a minaret. }} ====Jewish Heritage==== Since 1492 the prosperity and creativity of the Ottoman Jews rivaled that of the Golden Age of Spain.

After drinking Turkish coffee, fortunetellers will look at the coffee grounds and tell your future for free. Small streets south of Taksim Square offer a variety of cafes with more than reasonable prices. Tea can cost 1-1.50 TL instead of 5-6 TL in more touristy areas. A more authentic feel with locals spending their time there and also playing boardgames. ===Hooka=== In '''Tophane''' near the waterfront are a number of well-known hooka/hubble bubble (''nargile'') cafes all clustered together, though the national ban on smoking tobacco products indoors in public places led these cafes not to serve traditional hooka unless you are sitting on their outdoor patios. In reaction to the ban, they have "invented" some other kind of hooka which does not contain tobacco and touted as ''bitkisel'' ("herbal"), thus staying within the borders of legality for smoking inside, though those passionately in love with traditional hooka usually find it unpleasant. ==Sleep== Much accommodation is business-oriented, for people on expenses.

Some other parts of this district also have some '''crime''' issues. A rule of thumb to follow would be to look for young people around having fun, which suggests that you are more likely in an OK zone. Taksim Square and Istiklal Street there are always (7/24) police officers and security cameras. Do not be afraid. This is a safe area. This part of the city is where much of the '''bar scams''' take place. These scams are explained in [[Istanbul#Scams|dedicated section of main Istanbul article]] in detail. ==Connect== There are some '''internet cafes''' on the side alleys of Istiklal Avenue, especially on the ones nearer Taksim Square. Look for the signs when passing by, especially for those hanging from the second or third floors of the buildings. Most cost around 1.50 TL/hr. {{usabledistrict}} {{IsPartOf|Istanbul}} {{geo|41.031944|28.976111}} ilyohhfab0kwi1bo13vv4spzl681aaf 0 15891 4495885 4425016 2022-08-05T23:19:49Z Vidimian 1815 /* See */ + pic wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Istanbul Golden Horn banner Sunset.jpg|caption=A winter sunset over the Golden Horn|pgname=Golden Horn, Istanbul}} The '''Golden Horn''' (Turkish: ''Haliç'') is the district of [[Istanbul]] surrounding the banks of the body of water of the same name, which is a bay of the Bosphorus along its western, European coast. This article focuses on the areas around the Golden Horn banks west of the city walls or the inner beltway (O-1). For the southeastern and the northern banks, often visited on a combined trip to the area, see the articles for the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Old City]] and [[Istanbul/Galata|Galata]] districts, respectively. ==Understand== [[Image:Goldenhorn.jpg|thumb|400px|Golden Horn as seen from Pierre Loti Cafe]] [[File:The Golden Horn, Istanbul, July 2018 - 3.jpg|thumb|The Golden Horn from Galata bridge]] The English name of the bay comes from its Greek counterpart, ''Hrison Keras'' (Χρυσόν Κέρας), which literally translates the "Golden Horn". The "horn" part perhaps comes from the deep curve the bay has towards its end in the northwest. The "golden" part is more obscure, but possibly it's a poetic referral to the reflections on the Horn's water during the beautiful sunsets. The [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] named the Horn as ''Haliç'', which in modern Turkish is a geographical term for an "estuary", although in its original Arabic, it simply means a "gulf". ===History=== The Golden Horn is the estuary of the Alibeyköy and Kağıthane Rivers (known collectively as the '''Sweet Waters of Europe''' by the early European travellers of the centuries past; joining each other northeast of Eyüp near Silahtar), formed when the waters of the Bosphorus flooded their common riverbed in prehistory. Always been the primary harbour of Istanbul, it can even be argued that Istanbul would never have existed in such a grand way if it weren't for this well sheltered, superb haven (and also the superb trading route through ''and'' across Bosphorus, by the way). In the 18th century, the banks of the Horn and the rivers that form it were adorned with palaces and mansions that were surrounded by large tulip gardens (most of which are now lost without a trace), where the Ottoman high society were enjoying themselves in ostentatious parties. The banks of the Kağıthane River was especially favoured, where the partying suburb of ''Sadabad'', "the happy city" was founded (the "''sweet'' waters" simply wasn't a metaphor for the then-azure rivers, but it more was a referral to all the ''dolce vita'' going on). This was the '''Tulip Era''' (''Lale Devri'', 1718-1730), or as some call it, the "Debauch Era" (''Sefahat Devri''), which was later accused as one of the reasons for the economical weakening, and the eventual dissolution of the empire. All this festive lifestyle abruptly came to an end with the Janisarry-led Patrona Halil Revolt of 1730, when some of the buildings in Sadabad was arsoned, and much later in the 19th century, with the inevitable arrival of the industrial revolution in Turkey, when the banks of the Golden Horn became one of the industrial powerhouses of the Turkish economy and remained as such until up to the 1980s. This had its heavy toll on what was once the "golden" Horn: the industrial effluents in addition to the untreated wastewater from the rapidly expanding city's sewers caused the Horn stinking to the high heaven, as much as that people were actually trying to avoid the avenues along its banks even if those routes meant a shortcut to where they are heading. Then in the late 1980s, the first attempts to bring the Horn to its former glory began. Today its water is much cleaner (although locals will surely advise against, it's borderline clean enough for a swim—the Epiphany celebrations of the local Greek community, in which several swimmers strive to grab the wooden cross thrown into the water by the Patriarch, have returned to the Horn after being relocated to the Bosphorus for decades), and its banks are surrounded by pleasant parks giving the city a new fresh breath, rising on what was once the lots of factories. Some of the neighbourhoods along its banks, Eyüp in special, put a special emphasis on celebrating the Ottoman roots of the area. ===Orientation=== According to the local convention, the Golden Horn has a southern coast, and a northern one, which are also the designations used in this guide. However, due to the almost meandering shape of the Horn, the "south" is sometimes more like west, and the "north" looks as if it's in the east. Simple rule of thumb: if you are standing on a contiguous piece of land with the Süleymaniye Mosque, the red brick & domed Phanar Greek College, or the Eyüp Mosque, then you are on the southern bank. Conversely, if you are seeing these landmarks on the opposite shore and are on the same land that the Galata Tower or the Kasımpaşa Shipyards stand, then you are on the northern coast. ==Get in== {{Mapframe|41.16313|28.87490|zoom=11|width=350|height=560|layer=M|lang=en}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q673073}} {{Mapshapes|Q498172}} * The M2 line of the '''Istanbul Metro''' crosses the Golden Horn on a bridge (the only above ground section of that line). Haliç station in mid-channel is connected to both sides with pedestrian bridges. However Şişhane, the next station north, is better placed for the north bank locations. *'''Tram line''' T5 runs along a north-south axis from Alibeyköy Cep Otogarı down to Cibali. An extension will eventually link it to [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Eminönü]]. * '''Buses''' run from Eminönü and [[Istanbul/Galata|Taksim]] up the length of the Horn and beyond. Eminönü is better linked to the southern coast and Taksim is better linked to the northern. * '''Boats'''. Ferries across the Bosphorus from [[Istanbul/Asian Side|Üsküdar]] to Eminönü also zigzag between quays either side of the Horn and go as far west as Eyüp. Smaller ferries also shuttle across the Horn. These ferries still burn fossil fuels. The electric gondolas from Eyüp for nearby destinations on the opposite bank are quieter, cleaner and maybe more romantic. They carry up to 4 people but the price is per boat and destination. * '''On foot''' the main consideration is where to cross the Horn. The main crossing near Eyüp is the '''Old Galata Bridge''' (''Eski Galata Köprüsü''), the old pontoon bridge renovated and towed to its present location after badly damaged by fire in 1992. It is sometimes opened so you'll need a work-around when it does. Other bridges down the estuary are the Unkapanı, Metro (also accessible on foot), and (new) Galata, all between the vicinity of Eminönü and [[Istanbul/Galata|Karaköy]]. * A '''chairlift''' runs between downtown Eyüp and Pierre Loti on a hill overlooking the Horn; see the "Do" and "Drink" sections below. ==See== [[File:Eyup Mosque 2410.jpg|thumb|350px|One of the entrances to the courtyard of the Eyüp Mosque]] * {{see | name=Eyüp Mosque Complex | alt=Eyüp Camii | url= | email= | address=Eyüp | lat=41.047947 | long=28.933786 | directions=[[File:Istanbul T5 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Eyüpsultan Teleferik 400 m, [[File:Snelwegveer.png|30px]] Eyüp 400 m | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price=Free | wikipedia=Eyüp Sultan Mosque | image=İstanbul 5999.jpg | wikidata=Q956677 | content=This is the main attraction around this part of the city.

The neighbourhood was named after him. Muslims flock here (in such huge numbers that sometimes you have to queue for a few minutes before entering the tomb) also to see a rather uninteresting plaque made of plastic, which is purported to be Mohammad's footprint. The interior of the tomb, covered with fine tiles/faience, is nonetheless well worth a look, however. It is also interesting to see the devout Muslims leaving the place by walking backwards through its exit hallway, as not to turn their backs to al-Ansari's catafalque, though obviously no one expects everyone to quit the place in the same manner. }} * Around the mosque complex are '''cemeteries''' and '''tombs''' from the Ottoman period, with their distinctively decorated marble headstones. Besides, there are a number of other '''mosques''', '''streets''', and '''stores''' surrounding the Eyüp Complex, all pleasantly preserved, and give the visitors an idea of how Ottoman Istanbul should be looking like. Here is where all of those "boys-to-be-circumsized photos" are taken, as it’s a tradition to take the boys in their special Ottoman prince outfits to this particular mosque before the event. In the adjoining streets, you can find shops offering interesting Ottoman-style stuff like wooden toys or traditional salty ring-shaped cookies (''halka'') not easily available elsewhere. * {{see | name=Feshane | alt= | url=https://m.facebook.com/feshane/ | email= | address=Eski Feshane Cd, Eyüp | lat=41.04405 | long=28.93754 | directions=[[File:Istanbul T5 Line Symbol.svg|20px]] Feshane 250 m, [[File:Snelwegveer.png|30px]] Eyüp 400 m; on the waterfront, just east of downtown Eyüp | phone=+90 212 501-73-26 | tollfree= | fax=+90 212 501-73-28 | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q6059242 | content=It began as a factory producing '''fezzes''' (''fes''), the Ottoman red hats made of felt, adopted in the early 19th century as a part of westernizing efforts in lieu of much more traditional turbans.

The island has 18 inhabitants, employed by the Norwegian Armed Forces or the Norwegian Institute of Meteorology. [[File:Beerenberg Jan Mayen.JPG|thumb|300px|View of Jan Mayen showing Beerenberg Volcano]] ==Understand== [[File:Wikivoyage Jan Mayen map.png|right|300px|thumb|Jan Mayen]] This desolate, mountainous volcanic island was named after a Dutch whaling captain who supposedly discovered it in 1614 (though earlier claims have been reported). It was visited only occasionally by seal hunters and trappers over the following centuries, and the island came under Norwegian sovereignty in 1929. The long dormant Haakon VII Toppen/Beerenberg [[Volcano]] (2,277 m) resumed activity in 1970; it is the northernmost active volcano on Earth. ===Climate=== Arctic maritime with frequent storms and persistent fog. ==Get in== Jan Mayen is a part of the [[Schengen Agreement|Schengen area]], but does not have any border control. As a result, it is not permitted go directly from a non-Schengen area and land on Jan Mayen, at least when citizens of non-Schengen countries are onboard. Instead, you must visit border control in Iceland, Norway or some other Schengen country before going to Jan Mayen. Additionally, special permission is needed to visit the island. ===By plane=== There is an 1600-m unpaved airstrip. No commercial flights. A NDB (JAN 362kHz) is available for air traffic. ===By boat=== There are no natural harbours. You must bring your own boat or follow a dedicated trip. The Kvalrossbukta and Båtvika bay are often used for getting on shore using rubber zodiacs. A Norwegian company called EcoExpeditions organises 15-day [https://ecoexpeditions.no/polar-regions/arktis/jan-mayen.html trips to Jan Mayen] from [[Tromsø]]. ===By cruise ship=== Some expedition cruise companies organise voyage stopping in Jan Mayen. Landing and a permit to visit the weather station may be granted from the Norwegian officials. ==See== The Beerenberg volcano is probably the main sight on Jan Mayen. ==Do== ===Hiking=== [[File:Jan mayen egg-oeja hg.jpg|thumb|A beach on Jan Mayen]] You are free to hike around the island, but not to camp. This means that the hiking range is limited. ===Climbing=== Climbing the Beerenberg is worth the journey; it has the highest sea view in the Nordic countries outside Greenland, if there is no fog, which there usually is. A climb is an expedition requiring experience and a high level of fitness. However, since camping is forbidden, it is virtually impossible to climb the mountain legally, as the climb takes a lot of time. Getting permission is unlikely, but if you want to try, read [http://www.jan-mayen.com jan-mayen.com]. The [[midnight sun]] during summer time makes night hiking possible. ==Buy== Whilst Jan Mayen is a Norwegian tax-free zone, there is no economic activity on Jan Mayen. ==Eat and drink== As there are no shops or restaurants on the island; you will have to bring any provisions you will need yourself. ==Sleep== There is no public accommodation on Jan Mayen. The only settlement, '''Olonkinbyen,''' houses Norwegian soldiers and meterologists only. In addition, there are 9 small cabins around the island but these are for the use of these soldiers and meterologists only. Camping is forbidden. ==Stay safe== The [[cold weather|harsh Arctic climate]] and occasional volcanic activity are the greatest hazards. In January 2021, soldiers died in an avalanche. {{geo|70.97|-8.46|zoom=9}} {{IsPartOf|Norway}} {{usableruralarea}} hc0sclngof1klhco0y82jer592jhpla 0 16291 4496007 4493021 2022-08-06T09:13:11Z Mx.

It is home to HMAS Creswell, the Australian Navy's officer training facility. Navy ships are frequent visitors to the bay with the area directly in front of Creswell off limits to the public. It is famous for its white sand beaches (reputedly the whitest in the whole world), safe swimming and snorkelling. ==Understand== The area is one of the most beautiful parts of the South Coast and is an extremely popular summer destination, making it very busy in peak periods. Accommodation may be fully booked out months in advance of the Christmas/New Year period. Opportunities exist to scuba dive, fish and engage in many other water sports, beach activities, walking, and hiking as well as appreciate the diverse flora and fauna. '''[http://www.visitnsw.com/destinations/south-coast/jervis-bay-and-shoalhaven/huskisson Huskisson]''' is the largest town in the Jervis Bay area. It's one of those towns that would be a sleepy little village if it weren't for the short term visitors who in summer comprise about two-thirds of the population. '''Vincentia''' is a small town in the region. It is the holiday-home capital of the South Coast, with rental cottages lining the beaches. In summer families, bikes, swimming and barbecues are the order of the day. If you expect to stay in Vincentia in the summer school holidays, it pays to be thinking about where you are going to stay the proceeding year. The best places are booked out by the same families year-on-year. {{infobox|Jervis Bay Territory|A curiosity is that '''Jervis Bay Village''', and the nearby beach area of Murrays Beach and parts of the surrounding bay are not part of New South Wales. They are part of a Commonwealth-administered territory known as Jervis Bay Territory. It was planned as a grand "Pacific City" and the port of the nation's capital. This vision was never realised. As of 2016, it had a standing population of only 390, and most of the territory is designated as a national park. This anomaly is usually noticed by travellers when they have to pay a separate entrance fee to the parks in Jervis Bay Territory. New South Wales parks passes aren't valid in Jervis Bay Territory.}} The area has significant cultural and historic interest to both the Commonwealth and Aboriginal people of Australia. In 1995 parts of the '''Jervis Bay National Park''' were granted to the Aboriginal peoples and this land was designated Booderee National Park and Booderee Botanic Gardens '''Jervis Bay Marine Park''' covers 100 km of coast and adjacent waters, from Kinghorn Point in the north to Sussex Inlet in the south which encompasses Jervis Bay, Crookhaven Bight to the north and Wreck Bay to the south. The waters in Jervis Bay from Captains Point to the northern tip of Bowen Island are part of Booderee National Park. Dolphins & seals are a regular sight in the bay, and it is also home to a colony of fairy penguins. '''[[Currarong]]''' is a small town but in the northern area's of Jervis Bay, 60km away from Husky by car. It's the surf capital of Jervis Bay. '''Beecroft Peninsula''' is a military range but open to the public. Home to Point Perpendicular with near perpendicular cliffs and some torpedos that were never used for WWII. ==Get in== {{Mapframe|-35.101|150.717|zoom=11}} ===By car=== You can visit the area by car on a day trip from Sydney, and it takes only about 2 hours on the road each way. [[Canberra]] is slightly closer at 0.5 hours distance. It is the perfect distance for a weekend away from these cities. Huskisson is about 10-15 minutes south of [[Nowra]] on the New South Wales south coast. The turnoff is well sign posted - on the left as you travel south on the A1 Princes Highway. If you are worried about being on the wrong road, look for an emu farm on the RHS about 3 minutes along this road. After about 5 km, you will see the sign for the next turnoff - it's on the left. That takes you straight into Huskisson. The Princes Highway is fully 4 lanes each way from Mascot to the Husky turnoff and a motorway grade route except a small section near Bomaderry, which is expected to open in 2022. ===By train=== {{marker|type=go|name=Bomaderry (Nowra) Station|lat=-34.854262|long=150.609602}} is the closest train station, and journeys take about 3 hours from Sydney Central Station. From there it is a further 30 minutes by car or taxi to Huskisson. Nowra coaches do operate a few services from station on weekdays, and a single service each way on weekends. ===By bus=== There is a limited bus service from the large town of Nowra to Huskisson, Vincentia and Hyams Beach. ===By plane=== {{marker|type=go|name=Jervis Bay Airport|lat=-35.147259|long=150.695159}} is in Jervis Bay Territory, but as of May 2021, it is not open for public use.

In Jervis Bay Territory/Booderee National Park, you distances are long, and you can not go through certain sections without a car. This is because there's some navy operations near here. ==See== Jervis Bay is renowned for its white sand beaches, most notably Hyams Beach which has an official entry in the Guinness Bay of Records for the whitest beach in the world. Whale watching is also popular in Jervis Bay, as humpback whales come into the bay to rest during both their northern and southern migration.

It is home to HMAS Creswell, the Australian Navy's officer training facility. Navy ships are frequent visitors to the bay with the area directly in front of Creswell off limits to the public. It is famous for its white sand beaches (reputedly the whitest in the whole world), safe swimming and snorkelling. ==Understand== The area is one of the most beautiful parts of the South Coast and is an extremely popular summer destination, making it very busy in peak periods. Accommodation may be fully booked out months in advance of the Christmas/New Year period. Opportunities exist to scuba dive, fish and engage in many other water sports, beach activities, walking, and hiking as well as appreciate the diverse flora and fauna. '''[http://www.visitnsw.com/destinations/south-coast/jervis-bay-and-shoalhaven/huskisson Huskisson]''' is the largest town in the Jervis Bay area. It's one of those towns that would be a sleepy little village if it weren't for the short term visitors who in summer comprise about two-thirds of the population. '''Vincentia''' is a small town in the region. It is the holiday-home capital of the South Coast, with rental cottages lining the beaches. In summer families, bikes, swimming and barbecues are the order of the day. If you expect to stay in Vincentia in the summer school holidays, it pays to be thinking about where you are going to stay the proceeding year. The best places are booked out by the same families year-on-year. {{infobox|Jervis Bay Territory|A curiosity is that '''Jervis Bay Village''', and the nearby beach area of Murrays Beach and parts of the surrounding bay are not part of New South Wales. They are part of a Commonwealth-administered territory known as Jervis Bay Territory. It was planned as a grand "Pacific City" and the port of the nation's capital. This vision was never realised. As of 2016, it had a standing population of only 390, and most of the territory is designated as a national park. This anomaly is usually noticed by travellers when they have to pay a separate entrance fee to the parks in Jervis Bay Territory. New South Wales parks passes aren't valid in Jervis Bay Territory.}} The area has significant cultural and historic interest to both the Commonwealth and Aboriginal people of Australia. In 1995 parts of the '''Jervis Bay National Park''' were granted to the Aboriginal peoples and this land was designated Booderee National Park and Booderee Botanic Gardens '''Jervis Bay Marine Park''' covers 100 km of coast and adjacent waters, from Kinghorn Point in the north to Sussex Inlet in the south which encompasses Jervis Bay, Crookhaven Bight to the north and Wreck Bay to the south. The waters in Jervis Bay from Captains Point to the northern tip of Bowen Island are part of Booderee National Park. Dolphins & seals are a regular sight in the bay, and it is also home to a colony of fairy penguins. '''[[Currarong]]''' is a small town but in the northern area's of Jervis Bay, 60km away from Husky by car. It's the surf capital of Jervis Bay. '''Beecroft Peninsula''' is a military range but open to the public. Home to Point Perpendicular with near perpendicular cliffs and some torpedos that were never used for WWII. ==Get in== {{Mapframe|-35.101|150.717|zoom=11}} ===By car=== You can visit the area by car on a day trip from Sydney, and it takes only about 2 hours on the road each way. [[Canberra]] is slightly closer at 0.5 hours distance. It is the perfect distance for a weekend away from these cities. Huskisson is about 10-15 minutes south of [[Nowra]] on the New South Wales south coast. The turnoff is well sign posted - on the left as you travel south on the A1 Princes Highway. If you are worried about being on the wrong road, look for an emu farm on the RHS about 3 minutes along this road. After about 5 km, you will see the sign for the next turnoff - it's on the left. That takes you straight into Huskisson. The Princes Highway is fully 4 lanes each way from Mascot to the Husky turnoff and a motorway grade route except a small section near Bomaderry, which is expected to open in 2022. ===By train=== {{marker|type=go|name=Bomaderry (Nowra) Station|lat=-34.854262|long=150.609602}} is the closest train station, and journeys take about 3 hours from Sydney Central Station. From there it is a further 30 minutes by car or taxi to Huskisson. Nowra coaches do operate a few services from station on weekdays, and a single service each way on weekends. ===By bus=== There is a limited bus service from the large town of Nowra to Huskisson, Vincentia and Hyams Beach. ===By plane=== The closest major airports are in [[Sydney Airport|Sydney]] and [[Canberra#By plane|Canberra]]. [[Moruya]] has a small regional airport with scheduled flights from Sydney. It is 2 hours drive south. The only airport in Jervis Bay Territory itself is for military use. ==Get around== Public transport is limited, and having a car is pretty much required. There are scheduled buses between the settlements. * {{listing | name=Husky Ferry | alt= | url=http://www.huskyferry.com/ | email= | address=A 10 minute ride between Myola and Huskisson centre | lat=-35.038183 | long=150.670897 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price=$15 adult return | lastedit=2016-04-02 | content= }} There is a off-road cycleway between Huskinsson and Vincentia. If you're staying along this coastal stretch, you can take the bikes and leave the car in the garage. In Jervis Bay Territory/Booderee National Park, you distances are long, and you can not go through certain sections without a car. This is because there's some navy operations near here. ==See== Jervis Bay is renowned for its white sand beaches, most notably Hyams Beach which has an official entry in the Guinness Bay of Records for the whitest beach in the world. Whale watching is also popular in Jervis Bay, as humpback whales come into the bay to rest during both their northern and southern migration.

It is home to HMAS Creswell, the Australian Navy's officer training facility. Navy ships are frequent visitors to the bay with the area directly in front of Creswell off limits to the public. It is famous for its white sand beaches (reputedly the whitest in the whole world), safe swimming and snorkelling. ==Understand== The area is one of the most beautiful parts of the South Coast and is an extremely popular summer destination, making it very busy in peak periods. Accommodation may be fully booked out months in advance of the Christmas/New Year period. Opportunities exist to scuba dive, fish and engage in many other water sports, beach activities, walking, and hiking as well as appreciate the diverse flora and fauna. '''[http://www.visitnsw.com/destinations/south-coast/jervis-bay-and-shoalhaven/huskisson Huskisson]''' is the largest town in the Jervis Bay area. It's one of those towns that would be a sleepy little village if it weren't for the short term visitors who in summer comprise about two-thirds of the population. '''Vincentia''' is a small town in the region. It is the holiday-home capital of the South Coast, with rental cottages lining the beaches. In summer families, bikes, swimming and barbecues are the order of the day. If you expect to stay in Vincentia in the summer school holidays, it pays to be thinking about where you are going to stay the proceeding year. The best places are booked out by the same families year-on-year. {{infobox|Jervis Bay Territory|A curiosity is that '''Jervis Bay Village''', and the nearby beach area of Murrays Beach and parts of the surrounding bay are not part of New South Wales. They are part of a Commonwealth-administered territory known as Jervis Bay Territory. It was planned as a grand "Pacific City" and the port of the nation's capital. This vision was never realised. As of 2016, it had a standing population of only 390, and most of the territory is designated as a national park. This anomaly is usually noticed by travellers when they have to pay a separate entrance fee to the parks in Jervis Bay Territory. New South Wales parks passes aren't valid in Jervis Bay Territory.}} The area has significant cultural and historic interest to both the Commonwealth and Aboriginal people of Australia. In 1995 parts of the '''Jervis Bay National Park''' were granted to the Aboriginal peoples and this land was designated Booderee National Park and Booderee Botanic Gardens '''Jervis Bay Marine Park''' covers 100 km of coast and adjacent waters, from Kinghorn Point in the north to Sussex Inlet in the south which encompasses Jervis Bay, Crookhaven Bight to the north and Wreck Bay to the south. The waters in Jervis Bay from Captains Point to the northern tip of Bowen Island are part of Booderee National Park. Dolphins & seals are a regular sight in the bay, and it is also home to a colony of fairy penguins. '''[[Currarong]]''' is a small town but in the northern area's of Jervis Bay, 60km away from Husky by car. It's the surf capital of Jervis Bay. '''Beecroft Peninsula''' is a military range but open to the public. Home to Point Perpendicular with near perpendicular cliffs and some torpedos that were never used for WWII. ==Get in== {{Mapframe|-35.101|150.717|zoom=11}} ===By car=== You can visit the area by car on a day trip from Sydney, and it takes only about 2 hours on the road each way. [[Canberra]] is slightly closer at 0.5 hours distance. It is the perfect distance for a weekend away from these cities. Huskisson is about 10-15 minutes south of [[Nowra]] on the New South Wales south coast. The turnoff is well sign posted - on the left as you travel south on the A1 Princes Highway. If you are worried about being on the wrong road, look for an emu farm on the RHS about 3 minutes along this road. After about 5 km, you will see the sign for the next turnoff - it's on the left. That takes you straight into Huskisson. The Princes Highway is fully 4 lanes each way from Mascot to the Husky turnoff and a motorway grade route except a small section near Bomaderry, which is expected to open in 2022. ===By train=== {{marker|type=go|name=Bomaderry (Nowra) Station|lat=-34.854262|long=150.609602}} is the closest train station, and journeys take about 3 hours from Sydney Central Station. From there it is a further 30 minutes by car or taxi to Huskisson. Nowra coaches do operate a few services from station on weekdays, and a single service each way on weekends. ===By bus=== There is a limited bus service from the large town of Nowra to Huskisson, Vincentia and Hyams Beach. ===By plane=== The closest major airports are in [[Sydney Airport|Sydney]] and [[Canberra#By plane|Canberra]]. [[Moruya]] has a small regional airport with scheduled flights from Sydney. It is 2 hours drive south.

During the USSR, Joseph Stalin established the province in an attempt to boost the overall population in the Far East, counter Zionism (as it was ideologically inconsistent with the political beliefs of the Soviets), and create a place where Jewish culture and the Yiddish language could grow and flourish. However, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast is a project that failed to ever really take off, and this can still be felt to this day. Many of the region's Jewish residents have since emigrated to other places (particularly [[Israel]]) in search of a better life. Despite this all, many of the region's residents and the Jewish community of Russia routinely oppose attempts to partition it and/or merge it with a neighboring region. ===Watch=== Potential visitors should definitely try to get a hold of the documentary film released in 2002, ''L'Chayim, Comrade Stalin'', about the history and modern times of the Jewish autonomous Oblast. ==Talk== The official languages of the region are [[Yiddish phrasebook|'''Yiddish''']] and [[Russian phrasebook|'''Russian''']]. Although Yiddish is taught widely, you're unlikely to encounter it unless you visit a synagogue, listen to Yiddish radio, read a Yiddish newspaper, or study in one of the region's schools/universities. The older generation is typically more proficient in Yiddish than their juniors. Ethnic Russians constitute 90% of the population, which means that Russian is more useful than Yiddish. As in the rest of Russia, English is not widely spoken, and you will most likely be spoken to in Russian and/or Yiddish. ==Get in== Most visitors experience Birobidzhan as a stop on the [[Trans-Siberian Railway]].

The isolated region bordering [[Kalimantan]], [[Indonesia]], is now very popular for jungle trekking and for those hoping to get away from it all. ==Understand== The Kelabit Highlands comprise a vast highland plateau in the interior of [[Sarawak]], near the border of [[Kalimantan]], [[Indonesia]]. The area is the headwaters of the mighty Baram, Limbang, Lawas Rivers. Administratively, it comes under the Miri and Limbang Divisions. ===History=== ===Landscape=== The Kelabit Highlands is a highland plateau of over 1,000m. It lies between the Tama Abu Range and Apo Duat Range on the [[Sarawak]]-[[Kalimantan]] border. The many valleys in the region are peppered with settlements of cottage-like homes and often surrounded by paddy fields. The area also boasts many high peaks including Sarawak's highest mountain, the 2,423m Gunung Murud. ===Flora and fauna=== ===Climate=== As most of the highlands is over 1,000m, the nights can get a little chilly. Daytimes are usually warm and humid, especially when struggling through thick forests while trekking. The rainy season is between October and February. ===People=== The area is named after one of Sarawak's ethnic groups, the Kelabits. They are mostly highland farmers and staunchly Christian, belonging to the Sidang Injil Borneo (Borneo Evangelical Assembly) church. They are also known to place a lot of importance in education and many hold professional jobs, including the managing director's post of Malaysia Airlines. Although the highlands are named after the Kelabits, it is actually home to many other groups such as the Penan and Lun Bawang. The Lun Bawang, who are the same group as the Lun Dayeh in Sabah, are the predominant people around Ba Kelalan in the northern part of the highlands. All of them are collectively known as the "Orang Ulu" or "People of the Highlands". ===Villages=== *'''Bario''' - The "capital" of the highlands and main entry point into the highlands *'''Ba Kelalan''' - The Lun Bawang village is the starting/ending point of popular two-day trek to/from Bario *'''Pa' Umor''' - a 50-minute walk from the airport of Bario centre. small but a good starting point for trekking or visiting cultural sites. Far more remote feeling than Bario with no power lines (which are inactive anyway). A church, longhouse, and a few private dwellings, there are a few guesthouses here and Gem's Lodge is on the edge. *'''Pa'Lungan''' - Tiny, remote village with 100 inhabitants and rather untouched by modern society (use of local produce, no internet). Only reachable by foot (3-4 gentle hour trek through jungle and rice fields) which can be done without a guide. The path from Bario airstrip is only partly marked so make sure you ask someone for directions (there are two or three forks). Ideal location of the beaten path to relax and start of jungle trekkings. ==Get in== ===By plane=== The most popular and simplest way of getting into the Kelabit Highlands is by plane. The highlands are dotted with little airfields, often just grass airstrips other than the main airport at Bario which is a modern tar-mac runway, these are linked by 16-seater Twin Otter planes operated by '''[http://www.maswings.com.my MASWings]'''. These are 18-seater flights and locals are given preference due to it being the main transport in and out of the highlands but you can book online at [http://www.maswings.com.my/ MASWings website]. There are sometimes problems with non-Malaysian credit cards booking on this site; best to contact your card issuer in case of problems. There are still some cancellations of flights due to bad weather but it is a fallacy that this is regular. The most popular entry points are '''Bario (BBN)''' and '''Ba Kelalan (BKM)'''. There are also air services to '''Long Akah (LKH), Long Banga (LBP), Long Lellang (LGL)''' and '''Long Seridan (ODN)''' although these other locations do not have any purpose-built infrastructure for travellers. The main coastal city that acts as the gateway to the highlands is '''[[Miri]]''' where most flights originate. However, there are also flights from '''[[Lawas]]''' and '''Marudi''' in the Lower Baram, which is connected to [[Miri]] by several flights daily as well as a combination of boat (between Marudi and Kuala Baram) and bus (between Kuala Baram and Miri). *'''To/from Bario:''' 2 daily flights to and from '''[[Miri]]''', except for Mondays when 1 flight only carries cargo. Flights are often marked as full though actually they leave half empty - the rest of the weight is taken up by pre booked cargo. You should book ahead; they are normally full about five days ahead of time. Flights back from Bario have no cargo, and so you shouldn't need to book too far ahead; you could even do this once you have arrived. If you have a pre booked flight you should reconfirm it when you arrive; there's a RM10 charge for this. Tickets cost RM91 before taxes and surcharges. Journey time is about 50 minutes. Six of these weekly flights (no flights on Thursday) are via '''Marudi'''. *'''To/from Ba Kelalan:''' Flights between '''[[Lawas]]''' and Ba Kelalan run on Monday and Saturday. RM46 one-way before taxes and surcharges. Flights take about 35 minutes. *'''To/from other villages:''' Flights operate between '''[[Miri]]''' and '''Marudi''' and the various "Longhouses" in the highlands once or twice a week. ===Over land=== Getting to the Highlands by land is hard work, especially when compared with flying. *'''To/from the Sarawak coast''' The easiest and fastest way is by four-wheel drive or trucks between '''[[Lawas]]''' and '''Ba Kelalan'''. The journey, which takes about four or five hours, is over old logging roads and you are virtually guaranteed a bumpy ride as well as the possibility of being bogged in mud during the rainy season. The labyrinth of trails fanning out from '''Bario''' and the nearby villages can possibly lead you to the lowlands. Besides walking, you may have to take boats to travel down river. The journey will take several days of tough walking. Guides will be necessary and costs may be high for boats. Not surprisingly, most, including the locals, turn to planes. *'''To/from Kalimantan, Indonesia''' It is possible to enter/leave Indonesia via the Kelabit Highlands. In fact, the trek between Bario and Ba Kelalan goes through Indonesian territory and the village of '''Long Bawan''' is within easy reach. There are immigration officers in Bario and Long Bawan. From Long Bawan, there are flights to other [[East Kalimantan]] cities. Long Bawan is not a visa-free or visa-on-arrival entry point (see [[Indonesia#Get in|Indonesia's '''Get in''']] section) and an Indonesian visa must be obtained before you cross the border. However, the visa requirement is waived if you are just trekking between Bario and Bakelalan. However, you must carry your passport. There is now a logging road from [[Miri]] to the Bario area which is mainly suitable for supplies and vehicles to be brought into Bario, but this is an option for travelling although you will need to know locals as this is privately used only. ==Fees and permits== Permits were once required but are now not necessary. But make sure to bring your passport if you intend to trek through Indonesian territory, such as on the trek from Bario to Ba Kelalan. ==Get around== ===On foot=== The usual way to get from one village or longhouse to another is on foot. Some of the usual walking trails linking the various settlements are now doubling up as hiking trails by visitors. See the "[[#Do|Do]]" section below for details on the more popular hiking trails. A few vehicles, mostly trucks and motorcycles have made their appearance in the highlands and you can try thumbing a lift from the friendly locals. These are generally used around the "urban centre" of Bario. ===By air=== If slogging through steep slopes between Bario and Bakelalan does not sound attractive to you, '''[http://www.maswings.com.my MASWings]''' flies between the two settlements on Thursdays (departing Bario at 09:55, returning from Bakelalan at 10:30). Journey time is about 20 minutes and the fare is RM23 before taxes and surcharges. Although several of the other settlements in the highlands have working airfields, there are no flights between them or with either Bario or Ba Kelalan. Flights are to [[Miri]] and Marudi. ==See== ==Do== ===Hiking=== [[File:Batu Lawi from Gunung Murud.jpg|thumb|Batu Lawi from Gunung Murud]] This is probably the main reason why travellers make their way to the highlands. The hikes range from lazy strolls which last a couple of hours to tough treks which require several days. ====Day treks==== The following list shows the more popular walks that you can complete within a day, and which do not usually require a guide, just a crude map when you set out. *'''Bario-Pa Umor:''' (Difficulty 1/10) Around 50 minutes at a fast pace but many people take this scenic walk to Gem's Lodge homestay and walk slowly with a camera in hand for the views, orchids and various flora and fauna along the way in which case this can be a relaxing 1-3 hr walk. *'''Pa' Umor - Pa' Umor Salt Spring:''' (Difficulty 4/10) About 50mins+ *'''Pa' Umor - Pa' Umor Monolith:''' *'''Bario-Pa Lungan:''' (Difficulty 1/10) 2-3 hours *'''Bario - Ulong Pallang:''' (Difficulty 1/10) Through the padi fields, past monoliths and the 2 schools, churches, the police station. A very nice, easy walk. ====Multi-day treks==== There are many tracks which criss-cross the highlands, and even the most well-trodden paths (for instance, the popular Bario Loop, also known as Kelapang Loop) require a guide. A good guide will talk to you about where you would like to go. Note that with a couple of day hike exceptions you cannot follow these trails on your own. The trails that you follow tend to connect different local villages, and there are many branches and tracks crossing, none of which are marked. Various stories abound, including a Swedish girl who had walked the trail 12 times with a guide, tried it alone the 13th time and mistakenly took the trail to Indonesia and got lost for four days. And the Belgian guy who at one of the branches took the wrong fork (the bigger path) and was found three days later suffering from dehydration. He had to be airlifted to hospital in Miri. Get a guide! There's a guide licensing system in Bario - the guides are licensed by the Sarawak Government as wildlife guides. The licensed ones we had dealings with seemed great and to know the surroundings very well. They also have insurance should anything untoward happen. The price for a guide (as of September 2010) is RM80 per guide per day for day treks, overnight camping will cost RM100 per night. A RM10 per day tip is appropriate if you feel the guide has done a good job. If you'd like them to provide food & cook for you, it's RM25 per person per day. This is highly recommended as is bringing provisions they will collect food from the jungle for you to eat in the evenings (mushrooms, sago palm hearts, etc.) These are fixed prices set by the guides' association. Attempts to bargain will not be appreciated! Expeditions to Gunung Murud and Butu Lawi require two guides for security reasons. A recommended guide is Irwan. He is very knowledgeable about the jungle, has a good knowledge of English and is a very entertaining person. Contact him at welliamirwanshah@gmail.com for bookings. There are then two types of guide you should avoid: *Unlicensed guides from Bario, who will probably not know the area well. They appear to cost the same as a licensed guide *Guides provided by travel agencies in [[Miri]]. These tend to be city guides who will not know the trails at all. While we were there some hunters met a city guide with tourist who had been lost for two days and had run out of food! They pointed them in the right direction and gave them some food. Licensed guides would both be able to feed you from the jungle and know the way home! It's recommended not to book through a travel agency in Miri - it will be much more expensive and you will not be able to ensure your guide is licensed. A popular multi day trek is: *'''Bario-Ba Kelalan:''' (Difficulty 3/10) 4 days hiking 3-8 hours per day. The trek from Bario will pass through Pa Lungan (4hrs), then you will head over to a Kalimantan village such as Long Medang or Tanjung Karya (~8-9 hr) and continue to Long Bawan (4-5 hr), before crossing the border to Ba'Kelalan (~6 hr walking or 1.5-hr motor bike (RM80)). The trek passes through a long stretch of primary forest but includes dirt tracks as well. People are very friendly (you will shake a lot of hands) but hardly speak English in Kalimantan, Malaysian ringgit are accepted. Accommodation will mostly likely be a homestay (RM50).

It has been organised on the last weekend of July every year since 2005, and is an annual highlight in the highland's festive calendar. At the festival, visitors can experience Kelabit food and cultural exhibitions. A huge portion of the Kelabit diet is greens and game plucked from the jungles. Grubs and river crabs, snakes and wild boar are also available for the tasting. For those with less appetite for meat, the green offerings are no less exotic - visitors can find greens that are not available in your regular supermarket, or any market for that matter. Beside the culinary treats, visitors are also treated to a wide medley of cultural shows, including traditional dances, handicraft demonstration and traditional games. Guests are encouraged to take part in all of the events. This event is community-run, and every village gets involved in preparing and putting together a good show. ==Buy== ==Eat== There are not many restaurants in the Kelabit Highlands since food is usually included in the price for accommodation. The food is very different from what you get in other parts of Malaysia. It's usually made of ingredients from the jungle plus a few locally farmed ingredients. Bario rice is different from other rice types for its shorter seeds. Outside of Bario it is quite expensive. Also famous are the pineapples you get here. You can find them in curries or desserts. Ingredients from the jungle include wild boar, deer or for vegetarians wild ginger flower, edible fern and many more. ==Drink== ==Sleep== * {{sleep | name=Jungle Blues Dream Homestay & Art Gallery | alt= | url=http://www.junglebluesdream.weebly.com | email=junglebluesdream@gmail.com | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+60 198849892 | tollfree= | fax= | checkin= | checkout= | price=RM75/night full board | lastedit=2016-07-04 | content=An artistic homestay lodge with a great sweeping view from the dining area as the building is on top of a small hill next to the main church.

It is believed to be the birthplace of Jaydev, 12th century Sanskrit poet, and has an old temple. Poet Jaydev is famous for lyrical composition ''Geeta Gobinda''. A fair is held during Makara Sankranti (mid January). It is located on the bank of the Ajay River. According to legend, Jaydev could not bathe in the river Ganges during Makar Sankranti and became very sad and disappointed. He dreamt that Goddess Ganges would change her course and flow by the side of his residence. He would find a lotus in the high tide and that would signify the flow of river Ganges. Next day, Jaydev saw a lotus floating on the river on the nearest ghat (the bathing place). Since then Kenduli became a popular place for annual fair, named after the poet. Certain places in the neighbouring state of Odisha also lay claim as the birth place of the poet Jaydev. ==Get in== * The nearest railway stations are at [[Durgapur]] (on the Howrah-Delhi track) and Dubrajpur on the Andal-Sainthia line. * It is located 7km off the Dubrajpur-Ilambazar Road. Ilambazar is on the Panagarh-[[Santiniketan]] highway. There also is a road from Shibpur Mor (Near Durgapur) with a fair weather bridge across the Ajay River. * Ideally one can hire a car/taxi at [[Durgapur]](30 km one way), [[Santiniketan]] or Bolpur (30 km one way) to visit this place. ==Get around== Walk or have you transport from nearby towns. ==See== * Temple with exquisite carvings. The temple named Radha Vinod temple was set up by Burdwan royal family in the year 1683. This is a navaratna temple with excellent terracotta artifact on its wall ==Do== * Makar Sankranti mela (mid January) is one of the major rural fairs in Birbhum. It is famous for the participation of 'bauls' (itinerant singers) from different places. ==Buy== There is a lot to buy in the fair, otherwise nothing. ==Eat== Normally only tea and snacks are available but during the fair many food stalls are set up. ==Drink== Hard drinks are not available. ==Sleep== No hotels.

A thriving town of individual shops, including many selling outdoor equipment, art galleries, delis, cafes, restaurants and pubs, Keswick is a great place to collapse at the end of a long walk and eat a hearty meal. It also has many attractions to occupy visitors on a rainy day when heading up into the hills is not the thing to do. Keswick sits under the shadow of England's fourth-highest mountain, Skiddaw, and it lies at the head of the Borrowdale valley with Derwentwater lake reaching the edge of town. ==Get in== Trains to Keswick were axed back in the 1970s so you either have to drive, cycle, walk or get a bus. You could walk part of the way along the former railway line from Penrith. There is a regular bus service from [[Penrith]] train station to Keswick. Driving is fast: Keswick is 17 miles (25 km) along the partially dualled A66 trunk road from the M6 motorway at Penrith. Parking space is at a premium on busy days. There are a couple of pay-and-display car parks in the town centre, and another close to the lakeside, with plenty of free on-street parking further from the centre. A free but time-limited disc-parking scheme is in operation on some roads, often allowing two hours' free parking. ==Get around== {{mapframe|54.6004|-3.1342|zoom=14}} Within town, distances are short so walking is easy. Buses run all over the Lake District from Keswick and these can make a good way to get out to or back from a day's walking destination. The '''[http://www.keswick-launch.co.uk/ Keswick Launch]''' water taxis run on Derwentwater with both clockwise and anticlockwise routes serving seven jetties around the lake.

Further above the tour stops for a break of 5-10 minutes. Here evidence of quarrying can be seen as well as associated shovelling equipment. The locomotive then brings passengers back to the starting point. Additionally, there is a small indoor museum with a wealth of information on local mining. }} ==Do== '''Walk... walk.. . walk...''' Hikers can walk onto the surrounding hills (known locally as '''fells''' - a word dating from Viking times) or into the nearby valleys straight from the town, with more options opening up if you use the Keswick Launch, a car, or the local buses. * The easiest walk locally is the ten-minute level stroll along the lakeshore to '''Friar's Crag''' viewpoint, looking down the lake deep into Borrowdale. Start at the end of Lake Road by the theatre. * '''A circuit of the lake''' can be done but involves a bit of road-walking. The ferries can be used to shorten the walk as necessary. * '''Skiddaw''' is Keswick's own mountain. The walking path leaves from the back of town and ascends this 3,000-foot hill, the fourth-highest in England. The walk is straightforward, just a little long for non-walkers. First you pass the smaller Latrigg, then along a well-worn path up the grassy slopes. The summit is a long undulating dome with four tops. * {{do | name=Catbells | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=54.56835 | long=-3.17066 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q5051616 | lastedit=2021-07-17 | content=is the most-climbed of the local fells. This is because it looks great from the lake shore in town, and looks close and easy. Many people take the ferry over to the jetty at Hawse End and take the pleasant walk through the woods then onto the hillside for the easy ascent. However, it is also the hill with the most injuries, because people tackle it in trainers or sandals, then have problems on a section of smooth-worn rock. For an alternative (quieter) route, when the path crossed the lane by the cattle grid, take the small lane to the right of the hill toward Skelgill Farm, and continue the gently ascending path into the Newlands Valley, then head left and uphill to reach the summit ridge after the summit of Catbells. You can then backtrack along the ridge to the summit. People most often descend from this dip on the ridge, down to the side of the lake, then either walk along the lakeshore or catch a ferry back to Keswick from the jetty at Brandlehow. }} *Take a '''scenic drive.''' If you can't walk then at least drive around from Borrowdale. A trip over the Honister Pass to [[Buttermere]] is well worth the effort returning over either Newlands Pass or Whinlatter Pass for spectacular views. *'''Keswick leisure pool''' is on the site of the old railway station. *'''[http://theatrebythelake.co.uk/ Theatre by the Lake]''' is an attractive theatre at the end of Lake Road by the Lakeside car park. It is open all the year round and is particularly popular in the summer months when it runs a series of plays in repertory. The main theatre puts on three productions during the summer which run on consecutive nights throughout the season. Similarly there is a small studio theatre which also runs a three production repertory system. It is professional theatre of a high standard and has Dame Judi Dench as one of its patrons.

It is the largest city in Eastern India. Kolkata is an 'in your face' city that shocks and charms the unsuspecting visitor. Long known as the cultural capital of India and home to the so-called Bengal Renaissance, 'The City of Joy' (the sobriquet became more famous after the publication of a novel of the same name) continues to spawn generations of poets, writers, film directors and Nobel Prize winners. If your trip only allows for a visit of one or two of India's metropolitan cities, then definitely consider placing Kolkata on your itinerary. Kolkata is arguably one of the most socially, culturally and politically progressive cities in India. Love it or hate it, you definitely won't forget the 'City of Joy'. ==Districts== {{Regionlist | regionmap=Kolkata Wikivoyage map PNG.png | regionmaptext=Districts of Kolkata | regionmapsize=300px | region1name=[[Kolkata/Esplanade|Esplanade]] | region1color=#4f93c0 | region1description=The colonial district is still the central business and administrative area and is considered the heart of Kolkata.

Job Charnock was widely known as the founder of Calcutta. There were 3 villages named Sutanuti, Gobindapur and Kalikata. Later the village Kalikata became the city Kolkata. But some Indian historians have disputed this claim, arguing that Kolkata developed naturally over a period, centred on the ancient Kali temple at Kalighat and the port at Kidderpore. Whatever its origins, Kolkata flowered as the capital of British India during the 19th century, the heyday of the Raj. The University of Calcutta, the first modern Indian university was founded here in 1857. Kolkata became the centre of Indian arts and literature, and the national movement for independence got its start here. However, with the transfer of the capital to Delhi in 1911, the pains of the partition of Bengal in 1947, a violent repressive and feudal state machinery operational for nearly the first two decades after independence, the ideologically motivated Maoist movement (the Naxalbari movement) in the 1970s, followed by the Marxist rule has shaped the city to its present form. ===Modern Kolkata=== Kolkata has become the main business, commercial and financial hub of eastern India. The city's economic fortunes grew as the economic liberalisation in India during the early 1990s reached Kolkata during late 1990s. Kolkata is a multicultural and cosmopolitan city, with diversity from all over India as well as Europeans (including Germans, Armenians, and others) and other Asians (including Chinese, Sinhalese, and Tibetans). Kolkata is also notable for being home to India's largest Chinatown, which continues to be home to many ethnic Chinese residents whose families have lived in India for several generations. In 1977, a "Left Front" coalition of the Communist and Marxist parties came to power and ruled the state for 34 years. This is reflected in street names and memorials in the city with names like Lenin Sarani and Ho Chi Minh Sarani. During this period, the various egalitarian approaches implemented at improving the living standards of the down-trodden has helped the city in bridging the wealth-gap and decreasing impoverishment. ===Economy=== [[File:Camac Street 'G K Tower'.jpg|thumb|GK Tower located in Camac Street]] [[File:SC Mall (1).JPG|thumb|The South City Mall in Jadavpur, is one of the largest shopping malls in Kolkata]] Kolkata is fast developing into a modern infotech city with various private sector companies setting up shops here. The landscape of the city is also fast changing with flyovers, gardens and several new commercial establishments. Kolkata city has expanded into its suburbs, with [[Greater Kolkata]] stretching from [[Kalyani]] (in Nadia district) in north to [[Jaynagar Majilpur]] in south (in South 24 Parganas district). The city's fortunes have looked up since the early 1990s, coinciding with the liberalisation of the Indian economy. Its economy has been amongst the fastest growing in the country. The New Metro city is characterised by popular spots such as multiplexes, theatres, clubs, pubs, coffee shops, and museums. Kolkata is home to many industrial units, of large Indian corporations, whose product range is varied and includes engineering products, electronics, electrical equipment, cables, steel, leather, textiles, jewellery, frigates, automobiles, railway coaches and wagons. Several industrial estates like Taratala, Uluberia, Dankuni, Kasba, and Howrah are spread throughout the urban agglomeration. A huge leather complex has come up at Bantala. An export processing zone has been set up in Falta. Specialised setups like the country's first Toy Park, and a Gem and Jewellery Park have also been established. Kolkata is also starting to become a major hub for the IT (Information Technology) industry. With the formation of New Town and extension of Salt Lake's Sector-V, Kolkata is rapidly turning into a pro-IT city. ===Film industry=== Kolkata is also famous for the film industry around Tollygunge, known as "Tollywood" (a blend of Tollygunge and Hollywood). From a beginning in the silent era in 1919 to the talking era in the 1930s and the golden days of the 1950s to the 70s has been a chequered history. It has seen renowned filmmakers like Satyajit Ray, Bimal Roy, Ritwik Ghatak and Mrinal Sen. ===Geography=== [[File:Eastern High - Rajarhat 2012-04-11 9384.JPG|thumb|Apartment buildings in New Town, Kolkata]] Kolkata is in the eastern part of India and is spread along the eastern banks of the Hooghly River. The city of Kolkata is ''huge'', stretching from the industrial suburbs in the north to the mushrooming area in the south, a distance of almost {{km|70}}. The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has an area of {{km2|185}}. The city can be roughly divided into two sections along Mother Teresa Sarani (which was known during the British rule as Park Street). North of Park Street is the more congested part of the city. South of Park Street is the slightly better planned section of the city. South Kolkata is better planned with wider roads and better equipped police force for keeping law & order. The better planning in South Kolkata is because it was built much later. The North is the real, old Kolkata and most of the oldest families and buildings are situated there. Over the past several years the city has expanded to the south and the east. The old Central Business District (CBD) is where the seat of the Government of West Bengal is located, along with many other government offices. Several banks have their corporate or regional headquarters around the B. B. D. Bagh area (named after the revolutionaries Benoy Basu, Badal Gupta and Dinesh Gupta who forced entry into the Writers' Building, the epicentre of the British Raj government in Bengal). Many of Kolkata's older business groups have their main offices here. The area is a mix of multi-storeyed office blocks and colonial buildings. The newer CBD is around the south of Park Street, Camac Street and Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Road. Several high-rise office blocks including some of Kolkata's tallest commercial buildings, like the Chatterjee International Centre, Tata Centre, Everest House, Industry House, CGO Building, are located here. An even-newer CBD is now being set up in the Rajarhat-New Town area, lying between Bidhannagar (Salt Lake) and the Airport. Maidan (meaning open field) is between the river Hooghly and J. L. Nehru Road (or Chowringhee Road). It is said to be the lungs of Kolkata. The lush green meadow also houses Victoria Memorial, Eden Gardens, and several sporting clubs. Kolkatans simply love to stroll in the Maidan. In an effort to relieve congestion in the main city, many government offices have shifted to high-rise office buildings lining Salt Lake City's Central Park. The residential buildings are mainly low-rise and comprise of older colonial buildings and numerous new four-storied apartment blocks. 10- to 12-storey apartment blocks have come up in large numbers in South Kolkata. The city has relaxed its rules on high-rise construction and 20-storey buildings are becoming more common. The tallest residential towers of eastern India, the four 35-storey towers of South City, are on Prince Anwar Shah Road. Heavy construction activity along the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass is changing the face of the city. Luxury hotels, a convention centre, speciality hospitals, condominium complexes, malls and multiplexes are coming up at a rapid pace. The city's expansion in the eastern side is spearheaded by the construction of a new satellite township called New Town adjacent to the well planned Salt Lake City. It is one of the largest planned urban developments in India. The neglected western side of the urban agglomeration has got a boost with the signing of an agreement with Ciputra, an Indonesian company to build the Kolkata West International City (KWIC). Another huge new township is in the proposal state in [[Dankuni]]. Slums and dilapidated structures exist in many pockets of the city proper and house over 25% of the city's population (2001 census). Slum redevelopment schemes have helped improve living conditions by a small extent but there is huge scope for improvement in this area. Efforts to shift slum dwellers to newer developments have often met with resistance and failure because many of the slums are in prime areas of the city and the slum dwellers who are integrated in the social structure of the neighbourhood do not want to shift. Many roads in Kolkata have two names in use: the old colonial name that is still commonly used by locals, and the official post-independence new name that you will see in maps and on road signs. ===Climate=== {{Climate| units = Metric | janhigh =24.6 | febhigh =29.7 | marhigh =34.0 | aprhigh =36.3 | mayhigh =36.0 | junhigh =34.1 | julhigh =32.2 | aughigh =32.0 | sephigh =32.2 | octhigh =31.9 | novhigh =29.8 | dechigh =27.0 | janlow =13.4 | feblow =16.9 | marlow =21.7 | aprlow =25.1 | maylow =26.4 | junlow =26.5 | jullow =26.1 | auglow =26.1 | seplow =25.8 | octlow =24.0 | novlow =19.6 | declow =14.5 | janprecip =16.9 | febprecip =22.9 | marprecip =32.8 | aprprecip =47.7 | mayprecip =101.7 | junprecip =259.9 | julprecip =331.8 | augprecip =328.8 | sepprecip =295.9 | octprecip =151.3 | novprecip =26 | decprecip =17.2 | description =Source: [http://www.imd.gov.in/section/climate/kolkata1.htm IMD] }} [[File:Nalban - Kolkata 2011-09-14 5167.JPG|thumb|Monsoon clouds over Kolkata.]] Kolkata has three main seasons: summer, monsoon, and winter.

On the Bangladesh side there are some bus stands just behind the border, or you can catch a flat-bed cycle-rickshaw for 5 Bangladeshi takas for the 2-km trip to the bus stand for onward travel, or you can walk, but expect the hopeful rickshaw-wallahs to follow you at least half way. '''From Eastern India via Bangladesh'''. Bus travel to some points in Eastern India is faster via Bangladesh (visas will be required for entry into Bangladesh as well as for re-entry into India). If you're heading to points in Eastern India (Tripura for example) beyond Bangladesh, then there is a regular bus service between [[Dhaka]] and [[Agartala]], the capital of India's [[Tripura]] state. Two BRTC buses leave daily from Dhaka and connect with the Tripura Road Transport Corporation vehicles, running six days a week with a roundtrip fare of 600 Bangladeshi takas. There is only one halt at '''Ashuganj''' in Bangladesh during the journey. Call {{phone|+880 2 8360241}} for schedule. Other entry points to North-Eastern India through Bangladesh are '''Hili''', Chilahati / '''Haldibari''' and '''Banglaband''' border posts through Northern Bangladesh and '''Tamabil/Dawki''' border post for a route between [[Shillong]] ([[Meghalaya]]) and [[Sylhet]] in North-Eastern Bangladesh, and some others with lesser-known routes from north-eastern Indian regions. Although scheduled bus services to Shillong from Kolkata through Dhaka may not be available, you can get to those points via land routes going through Sylhet and then on to Tamabil/Dawki border outposts. Enquire at the Bus Service Counters for details. * {{go | name=Esplanade Bus Terminus | alt= | url= | email= | address=Rashmoni Avenue | lat=22.56360 | long=88.3498 | directions=Next to Esplanade metro station | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | image=Esplanade Bus Station.jpg | lastedit=2018-11-17 | content= }} ==Get around== {{Mapframe|height=600}} {{mapshape|wikidata=Q4863174,Q4863170,Q7560812,Q7709441,Q4985012}} {{Mapshape|type=geoline|wikidata=Q1348}} {{mapshapes|Q1048849}} ===By taxi=== [[File:India - Kolkata rainy street - 3819.jpg|thumb|right|Kolkata's yellow Ambassador taxis]] Kolkata just wouldn't look the same without the plethora of yellow Ambassador taxis that ply on its roads. They're easily available, relatively cheap, and will use their meters, at least in theory. However, Kolkata taxis sometimes refuse to go to some distant remote locations (like Behala, Bansdroni, Howrah) where they wouldn't get any passenger while returning. If they agree, they will demand high pay; be ready for such a situation. New taxis have been introduced, which are called "No Refusal Taxis", but sadly, these taxis are also no different. Some of the new taxis are air-conditioned; usually, these will also have a "Same Fare" sign on them. There is a 25% extra charge if you want the air-conditioner to be turned on in such taxis. In Kolkata, it is a crime for taxis to refuse a request to go to certain destinations, and they can be fined, but if you threaten the driver with a complaint to the police, they will simply ask you to complain. Cars by app-based services such as Uber and Ola are easily available (round-the-clock), reasonably priced, comfortable and have been embraced by citizens. ===By metro=== [[File:Kolkata Metro.jpg|thumb|The Kolkata Metro is the oldest metro system in India.]] Kolkata's [http://www.kmrc.in/ '''Metro Rail'''] is the oldest underground and elevated railway system in India. It is the fastest, cleanest, most reliable, least crowded (though still rather crowded) and most efficient of all the transportation Kolkata has to offer. Trains run every 6-15 min. They run from 7AM-9:45PM from Monday to Saturday and 10AM-9:45PM. on Sunday. Line 1 connects the North and South of the city, from Dakshineswar to New Garia. Line 2 connects the city from Salt Lake Sector-V to Sealdah. New Tourist Smart Cards shall be introduced, Card-I. valid for one day unlimited ride, Card-II. for three days. For more about these, read the '''[http://www.mtp.indianrailways.gov.in/viewsection_opennew2.jsp?lang=0&id=0,2,396 conditions here].''' ===By tram=== Kolkata has the only tram service in all of India and the oldest surviving electric tram network in Asia. Though decommissioned in some parts of the city, electric trams are still one of the means of travelling between a few places within the city. Operated by WBTC since 2016, they move slowly on the laid tracks in traffic-jammed streets, but they are environment-friendly (no emissions on the street, only at the source of energy generation). The network includes '''[http://wbtc.co.in/ 25 Tram Routes]''' ===By train=== The electrified suburban rail network of SER and ER is extensive and includes the Circular Rail. Depending on the route, 'local' trains can be extremely crowded. It is less expensive to travel around by train as compared to private cabs or taxis. Men are advised not to sit in the ‘Ladies’ compartment. ===By bus=== The city has an extensive bus network (possibly the most exhaustive in the whole of India) and this is the cheapest, though not always the most comfortable means of transport. The routes are written all over the colourful buses in Bengali and also in English. The conductors call out their destinations to everyone he's passing and all you have to do is wave at the bus anywhere and it will stop, at times causing a small queue of other cars behind it. Esplanade is a major bus terminus in Kolkata. Karunamoyee in Salt Lake City is another major bus depot. Some buses operate from the Babughat area in Kolkata as well. Among the buses that ply the city streets, the deluxe buses run by JNNURM (Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission) and WBTC (West Bengal Transport Corporation) are probably the better option. Air-conditioned buses (Volvo) are also available to many destinations. ===By auto-rickshaw=== In Kolkata, there are shared auto-rickshaws, i.e. the auto-rickshaws don't ferry just a single person but four person at a time. The fare is not set by meters, as fares are fixed by the auto-rickshaw associations. Auto-rickshaws have a fixed route and a vehicle of that route travel in that particular route only. However unlike taxis, they don't refuse passengers. The fare of an auto-rickshaw is much less than that of a taxi (for example, ₹7-10). Be prepared to give the exact fare as they are very reluctant to give change. ===By rickshaw=== [[File:Manpowered rickshaw.JPG|thumb|A human-pulled rickshaw]] There are two types of rickshaws in Kolkata: human pulled rickshaws and cycle-rickshaws. However human-pulled rickshaws are confined to the Gariahat and Ballygunge region and take more fare than cycle-rickshaws. The cycle-rickshaw is the most convenient mean of transport in Kolkata. It is very cheap and can accommodate two adults. The fare is not determined by meter by the respective rickshaw association. Unlike auto-rickshaws, they go to any place in a particular region. However, after 10PM rickshaw drivers may demand an exorbitant fees, and the same goes for times during natural calamities such as heavy rainfall. ===By ferry=== The river offers a less crowded but slow traffic medium. There are several points (popularly called Ghats and jetties) on the bank of the river from where you can board several regular routes of ferry services. Ferries can be fairly large launches to small improvised motorized boats. Even if you don't get any exotic manual boat like you get in [[Varanasi]], the river transport of the city lets you go to several old spots near the bank in a hassle-free manner with an additional dash of the view of decadent river front of the city. ===By rental car=== Privately owned rental car places are available throughout the city. Rates depend on the make, model, size and comfort level of the car. Agreements are flexible, for example, cars can be rented even for couple of hours at an hourly rate. Most rental cars are accompanied with a driver from the rental agency. ===By foot=== Except in [[Kolkata/Maidan|Maidan]] and newly developed areas, much of Kolkata is not so pedestrian-friendly. In the more tourist oriented areas, you'll be constantly accosted by beggars and touts. Crossing roads often involves wading across multiple lanes of heavy traffic. Try your best to move in a predictable straight line, so vehicles can weave around you. Better yet, latch onto a group of locals and cross in their shadow. If you really want to walk around, these places would be good: * Walk along the Hooghly River. There is a good promenade near the Eden Gardens. * Walk along the Chowringhee Road, which sets the pace as you unravel the rare beauty of this city. Across the road sweeps a huge, lush green, open parkland called the '''[[Kolkata/Maidan|Maidan]]''', centering around '''Fort William''', the massive and impregnable British Citadel built in 1773. A rambling green ‘lung of Kolkata’, the area is a hub of diverse activities. ==Talk== Being in [[West Bengal]], the native language of the people of Kolkata is '''[[Bengali phrasebook|Bengali]]'''. However, most locals also speak English and some [[Hindi phrasebook|Hindi]]. Many shopkeepers and taxi drivers are able to communicate in broken English, and government offices will typically have English-speaking staff on duty. Although it is generally not a problem getting by with English, learning some Bengali will make your trip much smoother. == See == [[File:Indian Museum, Courtyard, Kolkata, India.jpg|thumb|Built in 1814, the Indian Museum is one of the oldest museums in India]] [[File:Kolkatatemple.jpg|thumb|Dakshineswar Kali Temple]] [[File:Science_City_Kolkata_4643.JPG|thumb|Science City]] Kolkata is known for its numerous attractions — palaces, parks and museums — built during and after the 190 years of [[British Raj|British rule in India]]. The most notable sites are the '''Victoria Memorial''' (a memorial hall dedicated to the memory of Queen Victoria), the '''Howrah Bridge''' (a cantilever bridge opened in 1943), '''Dakshineswar Kali Temple''' (a Hindu temple associated with Sri Ramakrishna), '''Science City''' (a massive science museum in [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]]) and the '''Indian Museum''' (one of the oldest museums in India). Detailed listings of all sights in Kolkata can be found in the district articles. ==Do== Take a '''tram ride''' in Kolkata. The city has the only active tram service in India and has become an icon of Kolkata. They move slow on the laid tracks in traffic-jammed streets. Several modern '''cinemas''' are dotted around the city, including [http://www.inoxmovies.com/ INOX] with several locations, [http://www.famecinemas.com/ Fame] at Metropolis Mall in Highland Park, and [http://www.adlabscinemas.com/ RDB Adlabs] at RDB Boulevard, Near Infinity Building in Salt Lake Sector-V, all showing Indian and American blockbusters. Unlike most of cricket-obsessed India, '''[[Association football|football (soccer)]]''' reigns supreme in Kolkata, with the local clubs [http://www.mohunbaganac.com Mohun Bagan Athletic Club] and [http://www.eastbengalfootballclub.com East Bengal Club] being the most successful in India. They contest the Kolkata Derby biannually, which is considered by many to be the oldest and most intense football rivalry in all of Asia. ===Events=== '''[http://www.iplt20.com/ Indian Premier League]''' (IPL) is the main club [[cricket]] league in India. It is one of the world's most widely attended sporting events, and if you are in Kolkata during the season (April–May), consider watching the home team (Kolkata Knight Riders) play at Eden Gardens. '''[http://www.kolkatabookfaironline.com Kolkata Book Fair]''' takes place from the last week of January to the first week of February. It is the largest book fair in Asia and is a significant event in the city. '''Durga Puja''', a festival honouring the Hindu goddess Durga, takes place in October. The biggest festival for Hindus in Bengal and Eastern India, Kolkata takes on an almost carnival-like ambience. Streets shut down for the construction of ''pandals'', large stands that depict events from the Ramayana and crowds flock to the biggest and best ones. Durga Puja in Kolkata has been listed as a [[UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage]] in 2022. A good time to visit, unless you have a fear of crowds. ==Learn== Kolkata is a key centre of learning in India. The most famous universities and colleges in Kolkata are the '''Medical College and Hospital''', '''Jadavpur University''', the '''University of Calcutta''', the '''Presidency University''' and '''Indian Institute of Management Calcutta'''. Apart from undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral courses, there are several training and diploma-level institutes and polytechnics that cater to the growing demand for skill-based and vocational education. ==Work== '''Volunteering''' is a real option here with several opportunities. * '''Brother Xavier's New Hope'''. Home for orphans of Kolkata's red light district. A much smaller mission than Mother Teresa's which one man built from the ground up. Brother Xavier and the children always need volunteers and funds. * '''Mother Teresa's Mission''' accepts volunteers to help in its multiple projects around the city. Enquire at the motherhouse. ==Buy== Traditionally Kolkata had certain shopping areas or districts. The New Market area was considered the core of fashionable marketing. That was the marketplace for the British and later patronised by the more sophisticated Indians. There were large markets in Burrabazar, Hatibagan-Shyambazar, Gariahat and Bhowanipore. There were several specialised markets: electrical goods at Chandni Chowk, jewellery at Bowbazar, books at College Street, fish at Maniktala, flowers at Jagannath Ghat, the Maidan market for sports goods and so on. The malls are a more recent addition. The South City Mall, one of the biggest in the city, is in its [[Kolkata/Southern fringes|southern fringes]]. The Quest Mall is another large shopping mall at Park Circus, an old neighbourhood in [[Kolkata/South|South Kolkata]].There are large number of malls in [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]] and new malls are being added. '''See district articles for specific listings.''' ==Eat== [[File:Rasgulla - Kolkata 2011-08-02 4547.JPG|thumb|''Roshogolla,'' sweet dumplings made out of ''Chenna'' (Indian cottage cheese) and semolina dough.]] Kolkata has old traditions about eating out. Wilson's Hotel (which later became the Great Eastern Hotel) is credited to have been the first western-style hotel/restaurant in Kolkata, serving what was then forbidden food for Indians, particularly Hindus. One could be treated as an out-caste if caught eating there, but the idea caught on and others followed. Many of the restaurants that line the streets in the Esplanade area have been around for more than a hundred years. The joy of food in Kolkata is in its Indian foods. Nizam's (at 23-24 Hogg Street), close to New Market, is credited with the invention of the famous Kati Kebab roll and still serves up the best of the best. For Mughlai dishes, there are several places to eat in the [[Kolkata/South|Park Circus]] area and there are others all over the city. Besides Bengali foods, Kolkata is also the home of Indian Chinese food. Chinese restaurants are everywhere so try the Indian variant of hot and sour soup and the famous Indian Chinese dish of chilli chicken. The best place to have Chinese is to visit Chinatown near Tangra, [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]]. It serves the best of the Chinese dishes and you will find plenty of large, small & medium restaurants. There are some restaurants serving Thai, Mediterranean or Italian food. Kolkata also has many excellent vegetarian restaurants ranging from budget to expensive ones. There are two types: those serving North Indian and those serving South Indian food. For those looking for vegetarian street foods, one can find ubiquitous ''jhal muri'' (somewhat similar to ''bhel puri'' of [[Mumbai]]) a concoction of puffed rice mixed with various spices, vegetables & other ingredients available at street vendors all over Kolkata. Street vendors selling egg rolls/chicken rolls abound and their freshly prepared kati rolls are safe to eat. Mughlai Paratha (earlier it was a paratha stuffed with minced meat, but now the minced meat has been replaced by cheaper but tasty alternatives) is a Kolkata speciality. ''Fuchka'', the Kolkata version of paani-puri, but very different from the ones found in Delhi, is available on the streets but be wary of the tamarind water. It never troubles the local people and outsiders can safely taste this delicacy as long as they don't take too much. Earlier, the restaurants were standalone entities. A cluster of restaurants in a single mall is a comparatively new idea and has become popular. (See district pages for restaurant listings.) ==Drink== {{movetodistrict}} There are plenty of places to buy alcohol around the city. Kolkata has many pubs and bars, which are frequented by youngsters as well as its older residents. Some pubs have live concerts or DJs. They include: *Someplace Else (The Park) * Roxy (The Park) * Aqua (The Park) * The Myx (Park Street) * Olypub (Park Street), famous for the beer and the beef steak * Mocha (AJC Bose Road) * Underground (HHI, AJC Bose Road) * Nocturne (Theatre Road) * Shisha Bar Stock Exchange, The Factory Outlet (22 Camac Street) * Chili's (Quest Mall, South City Mall, Acropolis Mall Kasba) * Cafe Mezzuna (Forum Mall Elgin Road, South City Mall) * Hoppipola (Acropolis Mall) * Afraa Lounge (City Centre Salt Lake) * Fairlawns (Sudder Street) * Big Ben (The Kenilworth, Little Russel Street) All pubs are supposed to shut shop by midnight or 1AM. So go early if you want to enjoy yourself in the club. ==Sleep== Kolkata has long had a concentration of budget backpacker hotels in the [[Kolkata/Esplanade#Sleep|Sudder Street]] area and many of these are colonial era gems, albeit decaying ones. Sudder Street is centrally located and is well connected by public transport. Both the major railway stations at [[Howrah]] and [[Kolkata/North#Sleep|Sealdah]] have many hotels around them. Most of them might be only licensed to accommodate Indian citizens. Be sure to not walk with a local "friend" or guide, unless you want to have higher prices. There are some hotels in [[Kolkata/South#Sleep|Gariahat]]. The growth of the IT Sector and hospital facilities in [[Kolkata/East#Sleep|East Kolkata]] has led to development of hotels in that area. British-era clubs such as Tollygunge Club, Calcutta Club (AJC Bose Rd), Saturday Club (Theatre Rd), and Bengal Club (Russel St) have lavish rooms for rent. However, they only accept bookings through members. (See district pages for hotel listings.) ==Stay safe== {{cautionbox | Recently, several roads and streets in Kolkata become one-way, permanently or temporarily, generally without notice. Unless you know where the streets in Kolkata become one-way, avoid using your car to drive in the city. Otherwise, you might face a hefty fine from traffic police. | lastedit=2022-08-05 }} [[File:India - Kolkata street beggar - 3246.jpg|thumb|A beggar in Kolkata]] Kolkata is one of the safest metropolitan areas in India, and the people are friendly and helpful, unlike in most of India's other large cities. One noted problem is the drug dealers around Sudder Street. However, as the dealers obviously do not want to draw undue attention to their activity, they are not persistent and rarely a threat. There have been rare incidents of chain, bag and mobile snatching in railway stations and empty roads. Visitors outside the city are often magnets for [[begging|beggars]], frauds and touts. In [[Kolkata/South|South Kolkata]], beggars often knock at the glass windows of cars. It does little good to get angry or to say "No" loudly. The best response is to look unconcerned and ignore the behaviour. The more attention you pay to a beggar or a tout, positive or negative, the longer they will follow you hoping for a donation. ===Kolkata Police=== The [http://www.kolkatapolice.gov.in/ Kolkata Police] is a police force serving the city. While most of the police officers are honest and helpful, you may find some officers who may be corrupt and unhelpful. '''For police assistance during an emergency dial 100.'''

Buses depart Tu Th Sa at 9PM, and the 18-hr journey costs ₹300. {{usablecity}} {{geo|22.5726723|88.3638815|zoom=13}} {{isPartOf|Greater Kolkata}} {{hasDocent|2006nishan178713}} iffb6apnm3wczccjscjqnxci3pb8alq 4495815 4495813 2022-08-05T18:07:19Z Sbb1413 2217354 /* Go next */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|BBDBag Pano-2.jpg}} {{printDistricts}} {{confused|[[Kozhikode]], formerly '''Calicut''', a city in southwestern India.}} '''Kolkata''' ([[Bengali phrasebook|Bengali]]: কলকাতা, [[Hindi phrasebook|Hindi]]: कोलकाता) (formerly '''Calcutta''') is the capital of [[West Bengal]] and one of the largest urban agglomerations in [[India]]. It is the largest city in Eastern India. Kolkata is an 'in your face' city that shocks and charms the unsuspecting visitor. Long known as the cultural capital of India and home to the so-called Bengal Renaissance, 'The City of Joy' (the sobriquet became more famous after the publication of a novel of the same name) continues to spawn generations of poets, writers, film directors and Nobel Prize winners. If your trip only allows for a visit of one or two of India's metropolitan cities, then definitely consider placing Kolkata on your itinerary. Kolkata is arguably one of the most socially, culturally and politically progressive cities in India. Love it or hate it, you definitely won't forget the 'City of Joy'. ==Districts== {{Regionlist | regionmap=Kolkata Wikivoyage map PNG.png | regionmaptext=Districts of Kolkata | regionmapsize=300px | region1name=[[Kolkata/Esplanade|Esplanade]] | region1color=#4f93c0 | region1description=The colonial district is still the central business and administrative area and is considered the heart of Kolkata.

Job Charnock was widely known as the founder of Calcutta. There were 3 villages named Sutanuti, Gobindapur and Kalikata. Later the village Kalikata became the city Kolkata. But some Indian historians have disputed this claim, arguing that Kolkata developed naturally over a period, centred on the ancient Kali temple at Kalighat and the port at Kidderpore. Whatever its origins, Kolkata flowered as the capital of British India during the 19th century, the heyday of the Raj. The University of Calcutta, the first modern Indian university was founded here in 1857. Kolkata became the centre of Indian arts and literature, and the national movement for independence got its start here. However, with the transfer of the capital to Delhi in 1911, the pains of the partition of Bengal in 1947, a violent repressive and feudal state machinery operational for nearly the first two decades after independence, the ideologically motivated Maoist movement (the Naxalbari movement) in the 1970s, followed by the Marxist rule has shaped the city to its present form. ===Modern Kolkata=== Kolkata has become the main business, commercial and financial hub of eastern India. The city's economic fortunes grew as the economic liberalisation in India during the early 1990s reached Kolkata during late 1990s. Kolkata is a multicultural and cosmopolitan city, with diversity from all over India as well as Europeans (including Germans, Armenians, and others) and other Asians (including Chinese, Sinhalese, and Tibetans). Kolkata is also notable for being home to India's largest Chinatown, which continues to be home to many ethnic Chinese residents whose families have lived in India for several generations. In 1977, a "Left Front" coalition of the Communist and Marxist parties came to power and ruled the state for 34 years. This is reflected in street names and memorials in the city with names like Lenin Sarani and Ho Chi Minh Sarani. During this period, the various egalitarian approaches implemented at improving the living standards of the down-trodden has helped the city in bridging the wealth-gap and decreasing impoverishment. ===Economy=== [[File:Camac Street 'G K Tower'.jpg|thumb|GK Tower located in Camac Street]] [[File:SC Mall (1).JPG|thumb|The South City Mall in Jadavpur, is one of the largest shopping malls in Kolkata]] Kolkata is fast developing into a modern infotech city with various private sector companies setting up shops here. The landscape of the city is also fast changing with flyovers, gardens and several new commercial establishments. Kolkata city has expanded into its suburbs, with [[Greater Kolkata]] stretching from [[Kalyani]] (in Nadia district) in north to [[Jaynagar Majilpur]] in south (in South 24 Parganas district). The city's fortunes have looked up since the early 1990s, coinciding with the liberalisation of the Indian economy. Its economy has been amongst the fastest growing in the country. The New Metro city is characterised by popular spots such as multiplexes, theatres, clubs, pubs, coffee shops, and museums. Kolkata is home to many industrial units, of large Indian corporations, whose product range is varied and includes engineering products, electronics, electrical equipment, cables, steel, leather, textiles, jewellery, frigates, automobiles, railway coaches and wagons. Several industrial estates like Taratala, Uluberia, Dankuni, Kasba, and Howrah are spread throughout the urban agglomeration. A huge leather complex has come up at Bantala. An export processing zone has been set up in Falta. Specialised setups like the country's first Toy Park, and a Gem and Jewellery Park have also been established. Kolkata is also starting to become a major hub for the IT (Information Technology) industry. With the formation of New Town and extension of Salt Lake's Sector-V, Kolkata is rapidly turning into a pro-IT city. ===Film industry=== Kolkata is also famous for the film industry around Tollygunge, known as "Tollywood" (a blend of Tollygunge and Hollywood). From a beginning in the silent era in 1919 to the talking era in the 1930s and the golden days of the 1950s to the 70s has been a chequered history. It has seen renowned filmmakers like Satyajit Ray, Bimal Roy, Ritwik Ghatak and Mrinal Sen. ===Geography=== [[File:Eastern High - Rajarhat 2012-04-11 9384.JPG|thumb|Apartment buildings in New Town, Kolkata]] Kolkata is in the eastern part of India and is spread along the eastern banks of the Hooghly River. The city of Kolkata is ''huge'', stretching from the industrial suburbs in the north to the mushrooming area in the south, a distance of almost {{km|70}}. The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has an area of {{km2|185}}. The city can be roughly divided into two sections along Mother Teresa Sarani (which was known during the British rule as Park Street). North of Park Street is the more congested part of the city. South of Park Street is the slightly better planned section of the city. South Kolkata is better planned with wider roads and better equipped police force for keeping law & order. The better planning in South Kolkata is because it was built much later. The North is the real, old Kolkata and most of the oldest families and buildings are situated there. Over the past several years the city has expanded to the south and the east. The old Central Business District (CBD) is where the seat of the Government of West Bengal is located, along with many other government offices. Several banks have their corporate or regional headquarters around the B. B. D. Bagh area (named after the revolutionaries Benoy Basu, Badal Gupta and Dinesh Gupta who forced entry into the Writers' Building, the epicentre of the British Raj government in Bengal). Many of Kolkata's older business groups have their main offices here. The area is a mix of multi-storeyed office blocks and colonial buildings. The newer CBD is around the south of Park Street, Camac Street and Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Road. Several high-rise office blocks including some of Kolkata's tallest commercial buildings, like the Chatterjee International Centre, Tata Centre, Everest House, Industry House, CGO Building, are located here. An even-newer CBD is now being set up in the Rajarhat-New Town area, lying between Bidhannagar (Salt Lake) and the Airport. Maidan (meaning open field) is between the river Hooghly and J. L. Nehru Road (or Chowringhee Road). It is said to be the lungs of Kolkata. The lush green meadow also houses Victoria Memorial, Eden Gardens, and several sporting clubs. Kolkatans simply love to stroll in the Maidan. In an effort to relieve congestion in the main city, many government offices have shifted to high-rise office buildings lining Salt Lake City's Central Park. The residential buildings are mainly low-rise and comprise of older colonial buildings and numerous new four-storied apartment blocks. 10- to 12-storey apartment blocks have come up in large numbers in South Kolkata. The city has relaxed its rules on high-rise construction and 20-storey buildings are becoming more common. The tallest residential towers of eastern India, the four 35-storey towers of South City, are on Prince Anwar Shah Road. Heavy construction activity along the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass is changing the face of the city. Luxury hotels, a convention centre, speciality hospitals, condominium complexes, malls and multiplexes are coming up at a rapid pace. The city's expansion in the eastern side is spearheaded by the construction of a new satellite township called New Town adjacent to the well planned Salt Lake City. It is one of the largest planned urban developments in India. The neglected western side of the urban agglomeration has got a boost with the signing of an agreement with Ciputra, an Indonesian company to build the Kolkata West International City (KWIC). Another huge new township is in the proposal state in [[Dankuni]]. Slums and dilapidated structures exist in many pockets of the city proper and house over 25% of the city's population (2001 census). Slum redevelopment schemes have helped improve living conditions by a small extent but there is huge scope for improvement in this area. Efforts to shift slum dwellers to newer developments have often met with resistance and failure because many of the slums are in prime areas of the city and the slum dwellers who are integrated in the social structure of the neighbourhood do not want to shift. Many roads in Kolkata have two names in use: the old colonial name that is still commonly used by locals, and the official post-independence new name that you will see in maps and on road signs. ===Climate=== {{Climate| units = Metric | janhigh =24.6 | febhigh =29.7 | marhigh =34.0 | aprhigh =36.3 | mayhigh =36.0 | junhigh =34.1 | julhigh =32.2 | aughigh =32.0 | sephigh =32.2 | octhigh =31.9 | novhigh =29.8 | dechigh =27.0 | janlow =13.4 | feblow =16.9 | marlow =21.7 | aprlow =25.1 | maylow =26.4 | junlow =26.5 | jullow =26.1 | auglow =26.1 | seplow =25.8 | octlow =24.0 | novlow =19.6 | declow =14.5 | janprecip =16.9 | febprecip =22.9 | marprecip =32.8 | aprprecip =47.7 | mayprecip =101.7 | junprecip =259.9 | julprecip =331.8 | augprecip =328.8 | sepprecip =295.9 | octprecip =151.3 | novprecip =26 | decprecip =17.2 | description =Source: [http://www.imd.gov.in/section/climate/kolkata1.htm IMD] }} [[File:Nalban - Kolkata 2011-09-14 5167.JPG|thumb|Monsoon clouds over Kolkata.]] Kolkata has three main seasons: summer, monsoon, and winter.

The most common way is the regular comfortable a/c buses from [[Dhaka]] to Kolkata via the [[Haridaspur]] / [[Benapole]] border post. Private bus companies '''[http://www.shohagh.com/group/ Shohagh]''', '''[http://www.greenlineparibahan.com/ Green Line]''','''[http://shyamolibusservice.com/ Shyamoli]''' and others operate daily bus services on this route. Govt. buses run under the label of the state govt. undertaken West Bengal Transport Corporation (WBTC) and the '''[http://www.brtc.gov.bd/ Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation]''' (BRTC). WBTC and BRTC operate buses from Kolkata every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 5:30AM and 8:30AM, and 12:30PM while from Dhaka they leave on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7AM and 7:30AM. The normal journey time is around 12 hr with a one-way fare of 550 or 600-800 [[Bangladesh#Money|Bangladeshi taka]]s. If you're only headed to [[Haridaspur]] the fare is ₹86 (2½ hours). The '''Shyamoli Paribahan''' ticket office is at 6/1 Marquis St (''parallel to and one block south of Sudder Street, and just west of Mirza Ghalib St, next door to DHL''), 2252 0693. Several travel agencies around this area also sell tickets for these buses, but at very inflated prices. At the border, it's best to change money on the Indian side, but count it carefully and double-check the maths on their calculator. On the Bangladesh side there are some bus stands just behind the border, or you can catch a flat-bed cycle-rickshaw for 5 Bangladeshi takas for the 2-km trip to the bus stand for onward travel, or you can walk, but expect the hopeful rickshaw-wallahs to follow you at least half way. '''From Eastern India via Bangladesh'''. Bus travel to some points in Eastern India is faster via Bangladesh (visas will be required for entry into Bangladesh as well as for re-entry into India). If you're heading to points in Eastern India (Tripura for example) beyond Bangladesh, then there is a regular bus service between [[Dhaka]] and [[Agartala]], the capital of India's [[Tripura]] state. Two BRTC buses leave daily from Dhaka and connect with the Tripura Road Transport Corporation vehicles, running six days a week with a roundtrip fare of 600 Bangladeshi takas. There is only one halt at '''Ashuganj''' in Bangladesh during the journey. Call {{phone|+880 2 8360241}} for schedule. Other entry points to North-Eastern India through Bangladesh are '''Hili''', Chilahati / '''Haldibari''' and '''Banglaband''' border posts through Northern Bangladesh and '''Tamabil/Dawki''' border post for a route between [[Shillong]] ([[Meghalaya]]) and [[Sylhet]] in North-Eastern Bangladesh, and some others with lesser-known routes from north-eastern Indian regions.

They're easily available, relatively cheap, and will use their meters, at least in theory. However, Kolkata taxis sometimes refuse to go to some distant remote locations (like Behala, Bansdroni, Howrah) where they wouldn't get any passenger while returning. If they agree, they will demand high pay; be ready for such a situation. New taxis have been introduced, which are called "No Refusal Taxis", but sadly, these taxis are also no different. Some of the new taxis are air-conditioned; usually, these will also have a "Same Fare" sign on them. There is a 25% extra charge if you want the air-conditioner to be turned on in such taxis. In Kolkata, it is a crime for taxis to refuse a request to go to certain destinations, and they can be fined, but if you threaten the driver with a complaint to the police, they will simply ask you to complain. Cars by app-based services such as Uber and Ola are easily available (round-the-clock), reasonably priced, comfortable and have been embraced by citizens. ===By metro=== [[File:Kolkata Metro.jpg|thumb|The Kolkata Metro is the oldest metro system in India.]] Kolkata's [http://www.kmrc.in/ '''Metro Rail'''] is the oldest underground and elevated railway system in India.

Though decommissioned in some parts of the city, electric trams are still one of the means of travelling between a few places within the city. Operated by WBTC since 2016, they move slowly on the laid tracks in traffic-jammed streets, but they are environment-friendly (no emissions on the street, only at the source of energy generation). The network includes '''[http://wbtc.co.in/ 25 Tram Routes]''' ===By train=== The electrified suburban rail network of SER and ER is extensive and includes the Circular Rail. Depending on the route, 'local' trains can be extremely crowded. It is less expensive to travel around by train as compared to private cabs or taxis. Men are advised not to sit in the ‘Ladies’ compartment. ===By bus=== The city has an extensive bus network (possibly the most exhaustive in the whole of India) and this is the cheapest, though not always the most comfortable means of transport. The routes are written all over the colourful buses in Bengali and also in English. The conductors call out their destinations to everyone he's passing and all you have to do is wave at the bus anywhere and it will stop, at times causing a small queue of other cars behind it. Esplanade is a major bus terminus in Kolkata. Karunamoyee in Salt Lake City is another major bus depot. Some buses operate from the Babughat area in Kolkata as well. Among the buses that ply the city streets, the deluxe buses run by JNNURM (Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission) and WBTC (West Bengal Transport Corporation) are probably the better option. Air-conditioned buses (Volvo) are also available to many destinations. ===By auto-rickshaw=== In Kolkata, there are shared auto-rickshaws, i.e. the auto-rickshaws don't ferry just a single person but four person at a time. The fare is not set by meters, as fares are fixed by the auto-rickshaw associations. Auto-rickshaws have a fixed route and a vehicle of that route travel in that particular route only. However unlike taxis, they don't refuse passengers. The fare of an auto-rickshaw is much less than that of a taxi (for example, ₹7-10). Be prepared to give the exact fare as they are very reluctant to give change. ===By rickshaw=== [[File:Manpowered rickshaw.JPG|thumb|A human-pulled rickshaw]] There are two types of rickshaws in Kolkata: human pulled rickshaws and cycle-rickshaws. However human-pulled rickshaws are confined to the Gariahat and Ballygunge region and take more fare than cycle-rickshaws. The cycle-rickshaw is the most convenient mean of transport in Kolkata. It is very cheap and can accommodate two adults. The fare is not determined by meter by the respective rickshaw association. Unlike auto-rickshaws, they go to any place in a particular region. However, after 10PM rickshaw drivers may demand an exorbitant fees, and the same goes for times during natural calamities such as heavy rainfall. ===By ferry=== The river offers a less crowded but slow traffic medium. There are several points (popularly called Ghats and jetties) on the bank of the river from where you can board several regular routes of ferry services. Ferries can be fairly large launches to small improvised motorized boats. Even if you don't get any exotic manual boat like you get in [[Varanasi]], the river transport of the city lets you go to several old spots near the bank in a hassle-free manner with an additional dash of the view of decadent river front of the city. ===By rental car=== Privately owned rental car places are available throughout the city. Rates depend on the make, model, size and comfort level of the car. Agreements are flexible, for example, cars can be rented even for couple of hours at an hourly rate. Most rental cars are accompanied with a driver from the rental agency. ===By foot=== Except in [[Kolkata/Maidan|Maidan]] and newly developed areas, much of Kolkata is not so pedestrian-friendly. In the more tourist oriented areas, you'll be constantly accosted by beggars and touts. Crossing roads often involves wading across multiple lanes of heavy traffic. Try your best to move in a predictable straight line, so vehicles can weave around you. Better yet, latch onto a group of locals and cross in their shadow. If you really want to walk around, these places would be good: * Walk along the Hooghly River. There is a good promenade near the Eden Gardens. * Walk along the Chowringhee Road, which sets the pace as you unravel the rare beauty of this city. Across the road sweeps a huge, lush green, open parkland called the '''[[Kolkata/Maidan|Maidan]]''', centering around '''Fort William''', the massive and impregnable British Citadel built in 1773. A rambling green ‘lung of Kolkata’, the area is a hub of diverse activities. ==Talk== Being in [[West Bengal]], the native language of the people of Kolkata is '''[[Bengali phrasebook|Bengali]]'''. However, most locals also speak English and some [[Hindi phrasebook|Hindi]]. Many shopkeepers and taxi drivers are able to communicate in broken English, and government offices will typically have English-speaking staff on duty. Although it is generally not a problem getting by with English, learning some Bengali will make your trip much smoother. == See == [[File:Indian Museum, Courtyard, Kolkata, India.jpg|thumb|Built in 1814, the Indian Museum is one of the oldest museums in India]] [[File:Kolkatatemple.jpg|thumb|Dakshineswar Kali Temple]] [[File:Science_City_Kolkata_4643.JPG|thumb|Science City]] Kolkata is known for its numerous attractions — palaces, parks and museums — built during and after the 190 years of [[British Raj|British rule in India]]. The most notable sites are the '''Victoria Memorial''' (a memorial hall dedicated to the memory of Queen Victoria), the '''Howrah Bridge''' (a cantilever bridge opened in 1943), '''Dakshineswar Kali Temple''' (a Hindu temple associated with Sri Ramakrishna), '''Science City''' (a massive science museum in [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]]) and the '''Indian Museum''' (one of the oldest museums in India). Detailed listings of all sights in Kolkata can be found in the district articles. ==Do== Take a '''tram ride''' in Kolkata. The city has the only active tram service in India and has become an icon of Kolkata. They move slow on the laid tracks in traffic-jammed streets. Several modern '''cinemas''' are dotted around the city, including [http://www.inoxmovies.com/ INOX] with several locations, [http://www.famecinemas.com/ Fame] at Metropolis Mall in Highland Park, and [http://www.adlabscinemas.com/ RDB Adlabs] at RDB Boulevard, Near Infinity Building in Salt Lake Sector-V, all showing Indian and American blockbusters. Unlike most of cricket-obsessed India, '''[[Association football|football (soccer)]]''' reigns supreme in Kolkata, with the local clubs [http://www.mohunbaganac.com Mohun Bagan Athletic Club] and [http://www.eastbengalfootballclub.com East Bengal Club] being the most successful in India. They contest the Kolkata Derby biannually, which is considered by many to be the oldest and most intense football rivalry in all of Asia. ===Events=== '''[http://www.iplt20.com/ Indian Premier League]''' (IPL) is the main club [[cricket]] league in India. It is one of the world's most widely attended sporting events, and if you are in Kolkata during the season (April–May), consider watching the home team (Kolkata Knight Riders) play at Eden Gardens. '''[http://www.kolkatabookfaironline.com Kolkata Book Fair]''' takes place from the last week of January to the first week of February. It is the largest book fair in Asia and is a significant event in the city. '''Durga Puja''', a festival honouring the Hindu goddess Durga, takes place in October. The biggest festival for Hindus in Bengal and Eastern India, Kolkata takes on an almost carnival-like ambience. Streets shut down for the construction of ''pandals'', large stands that depict events from the Ramayana and crowds flock to the biggest and best ones. Durga Puja in Kolkata has been listed as a [[UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage]] in 2022. A good time to visit, unless you have a fear of crowds. ==Learn== Kolkata is a key centre of learning in India. The most famous universities and colleges in Kolkata are the '''Medical College and Hospital''', '''Jadavpur University''', the '''University of Calcutta''', the '''Presidency University''' and '''Indian Institute of Management Calcutta'''. Apart from undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral courses, there are several training and diploma-level institutes and polytechnics that cater to the growing demand for skill-based and vocational education. ==Work== '''Volunteering''' is a real option here with several opportunities. * '''Brother Xavier's New Hope'''. Home for orphans of Kolkata's red light district. A much smaller mission than Mother Teresa's which one man built from the ground up. Brother Xavier and the children always need volunteers and funds. * '''Mother Teresa's Mission''' accepts volunteers to help in its multiple projects around the city. Enquire at the motherhouse. ==Buy== Traditionally Kolkata had certain shopping areas or districts. The New Market area was considered the core of fashionable marketing. That was the marketplace for the British and later patronised by the more sophisticated Indians. There were large markets in Burrabazar, Hatibagan-Shyambazar, Gariahat and Bhowanipore. There were several specialised markets: electrical goods at Chandni Chowk, jewellery at Bowbazar, books at College Street, fish at Maniktala, flowers at Jagannath Ghat, the Maidan market for sports goods and so on. The malls are a more recent addition. The South City Mall, one of the biggest in the city, is in its [[Kolkata/Southern fringes|southern fringes]]. The Quest Mall is another large shopping mall at Park Circus, an old neighbourhood in [[Kolkata/South|South Kolkata]].There are large number of malls in [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]] and new malls are being added. '''See district articles for specific listings.''' ==Eat== [[File:Rasgulla - Kolkata 2011-08-02 4547.JPG|thumb|''Roshogolla,'' sweet dumplings made out of ''Chenna'' (Indian cottage cheese) and semolina dough.]] Kolkata has old traditions about eating out. Wilson's Hotel (which later became the Great Eastern Hotel) is credited to have been the first western-style hotel/restaurant in Kolkata, serving what was then forbidden food for Indians, particularly Hindus. One could be treated as an out-caste if caught eating there, but the idea caught on and others followed. Many of the restaurants that line the streets in the Esplanade area have been around for more than a hundred years. The joy of food in Kolkata is in its Indian foods. Nizam's (at 23-24 Hogg Street), close to New Market, is credited with the invention of the famous Kati Kebab roll and still serves up the best of the best. For Mughlai dishes, there are several places to eat in the [[Kolkata/South|Park Circus]] area and there are others all over the city. Besides Bengali foods, Kolkata is also the home of Indian Chinese food. Chinese restaurants are everywhere so try the Indian variant of hot and sour soup and the famous Indian Chinese dish of chilli chicken. The best place to have Chinese is to visit Chinatown near Tangra, [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]]. It serves the best of the Chinese dishes and you will find plenty of large, small & medium restaurants. There are some restaurants serving Thai, Mediterranean or Italian food. Kolkata also has many excellent vegetarian restaurants ranging from budget to expensive ones. There are two types: those serving North Indian and those serving South Indian food. For those looking for vegetarian street foods, one can find ubiquitous ''jhal muri'' (somewhat similar to ''bhel puri'' of [[Mumbai]]) a concoction of puffed rice mixed with various spices, vegetables & other ingredients available at street vendors all over Kolkata. Street vendors selling egg rolls/chicken rolls abound and their freshly prepared kati rolls are safe to eat. Mughlai Paratha (earlier it was a paratha stuffed with minced meat, but now the minced meat has been replaced by cheaper but tasty alternatives) is a Kolkata speciality. ''Fuchka'', the Kolkata version of paani-puri, but very different from the ones found in Delhi, is available on the streets but be wary of the tamarind water. It never troubles the local people and outsiders can safely taste this delicacy as long as they don't take too much. Earlier, the restaurants were standalone entities. A cluster of restaurants in a single mall is a comparatively new idea and has become popular. (See district pages for restaurant listings.) ==Drink== {{movetodistrict}} There are plenty of places to buy alcohol around the city. Kolkata has many pubs and bars, which are frequented by youngsters as well as its older residents. Some pubs have live concerts or DJs. They include: *Someplace Else (The Park) * Roxy (The Park) * Aqua (The Park) * The Myx (Park Street) * Olypub (Park Street), famous for the beer and the beef steak * Mocha (AJC Bose Road) * Underground (HHI, AJC Bose Road) * Nocturne (Theatre Road) * Shisha Bar Stock Exchange, The Factory Outlet (22 Camac Street) * Chili's (Quest Mall, South City Mall, Acropolis Mall Kasba) * Cafe Mezzuna (Forum Mall Elgin Road, South City Mall) * Hoppipola (Acropolis Mall) * Afraa Lounge (City Centre Salt Lake) * Fairlawns (Sudder Street) * Big Ben (The Kenilworth, Little Russel Street) All pubs are supposed to shut shop by midnight or 1AM. So go early if you want to enjoy yourself in the club. ==Sleep== Kolkata has long had a concentration of budget backpacker hotels in the [[Kolkata/Esplanade#Sleep|Sudder Street]] area and many of these are colonial era gems, albeit decaying ones. Sudder Street is centrally located and is well connected by public transport. Both the major railway stations at [[Howrah]] and [[Kolkata/North#Sleep|Sealdah]] have many hotels around them. Most of them might be only licensed to accommodate Indian citizens. Be sure to not walk with a local "friend" or guide, unless you want to have higher prices. There are some hotels in [[Kolkata/South#Sleep|Gariahat]]. The growth of the IT Sector and hospital facilities in [[Kolkata/East#Sleep|East Kolkata]] has led to development of hotels in that area. British-era clubs such as Tollygunge Club, Calcutta Club (AJC Bose Rd), Saturday Club (Theatre Rd), and Bengal Club (Russel St) have lavish rooms for rent. However, they only accept bookings through members. (See district pages for hotel listings.) ==Stay safe== {{cautionbox | Recently, several roads and streets in Kolkata become one-way, permanently or temporarily, generally without notice. Unless you know where the streets in Kolkata become one-way, avoid using your car to drive in the city. Otherwise, you might face a hefty fine from traffic police. | lastedit=2022-08-05 }} [[File:India - Kolkata street beggar - 3246.jpg|thumb|A beggar in Kolkata]] Kolkata is one of the safest metropolitan areas in India, and the people are friendly and helpful, unlike in most of India's other large cities. One noted problem is the drug dealers around Sudder Street. However, as the dealers obviously do not want to draw undue attention to their activity, they are not persistent and rarely a threat. There have been rare incidents of chain, bag and mobile snatching in railway stations and empty roads. Visitors outside the city are often magnets for [[begging|beggars]], frauds and touts. In [[Kolkata/South|South Kolkata]], beggars often knock at the glass windows of cars. It does little good to get angry or to say "No" loudly. The best response is to look unconcerned and ignore the behaviour. The more attention you pay to a beggar or a tout, positive or negative, the longer they will follow you hoping for a donation. ===Kolkata Police=== The [http://www.kolkatapolice.gov.in/ Kolkata Police] is a police force serving the city. While most of the police officers are honest and helpful, you may find some officers who may be corrupt and unhelpful. '''For police assistance during an emergency dial 100.'''

It is the largest city in Eastern India. Kolkata is an 'in your face' city that shocks and charms the unsuspecting visitor. Long known as the cultural capital of India and home to the so-called Bengal Renaissance, 'The City of Joy' (the sobriquet became more famous after the publication of a novel of the same name) continues to spawn generations of poets, writers, film directors and Nobel Prize winners. If your trip only allows for a visit of one or two of India's metropolitan cities, then definitely consider placing Kolkata on your itinerary.

Job Charnock was widely known as the founder of Calcutta. There were 3 villages named Sutanuti, Gobindapur and Kalikata. Later the village Kalikata became the city Kolkata. But some Indian historians have disputed this claim, arguing that Kolkata developed naturally over a period, centred on the ancient Kali temple at Kalighat and the port at Kidderpore. Whatever its origins, Kolkata flowered as the capital of British India during the 19th century, the heyday of the Raj. The University of Calcutta, the first modern Indian university was founded here in 1857. Kolkata became the centre of Indian arts and literature, and the national movement for independence got its start here. However, with the transfer of the capital to Delhi in 1911, the pains of the partition of Bengal in 1947, a violent repressive and feudal state machinery operational for nearly the first two decades after independence, the ideologically motivated Maoist movement (the Naxalbari movement) in the 1970s, followed by the Marxist rule has shaped the city to its present form. ===Modern Kolkata=== Kolkata has become the main business, commercial and financial hub of eastern India. The city's economic fortunes grew as the economic liberalisation in India during the early 1990s reached Kolkata during late 1990s. Kolkata is a multicultural and cosmopolitan city, with diversity from all over India as well as Europeans (including Germans, Armenians, and others) and other Asians (including Chinese, Sinhalese, and Tibetans). Kolkata is also notable for being home to India's largest Chinatown, which continues to be home to many ethnic Chinese residents whose families have lived in India for several generations. In 1977, a "Left Front" coalition of the Communist and Marxist parties came to power and ruled the state for 34 years. This is reflected in street names and memorials in the city with names like Lenin Sarani and Ho Chi Minh Sarani. During this period, the various egalitarian approaches implemented at improving the living standards of the down-trodden has helped the city in bridging the wealth-gap and decreasing impoverishment. ===Economy=== [[File:Camac Street 'G K Tower'.jpg|thumb|GK Tower located in Camac Street]] [[File:SC Mall (1).JPG|thumb|The South City Mall in Jadavpur, is one of the largest shopping malls in Kolkata]] Kolkata is fast developing into a modern infotech city with various private sector companies setting up shops here. The landscape of the city is also fast changing with flyovers, gardens and several new commercial establishments. Kolkata city has expanded into its suburbs, with [[Greater Kolkata]] stretching from [[Kalyani]] (in Nadia district) in north to [[Jaynagar Majilpur]] in south (in South 24 Parganas district). The city's fortunes have looked up since the early 1990s, coinciding with the liberalisation of the Indian economy. Its economy has been amongst the fastest growing in the country. The New Metro city is characterised by popular spots such as multiplexes, theatres, clubs, pubs, coffee shops, and museums. Kolkata is home to many industrial units, of large Indian corporations, whose product range is varied and includes engineering products, electronics, electrical equipment, cables, steel, leather, textiles, jewellery, frigates, automobiles, railway coaches and wagons. Several industrial estates like Taratala, Uluberia, Dankuni, Kasba, and Howrah are spread throughout the urban agglomeration. A huge leather complex has come up at Bantala. An export processing zone has been set up in Falta. Specialised setups like the country's first Toy Park, and a Gem and Jewellery Park have also been established. Kolkata is also starting to become a major hub for the IT (Information Technology) industry. With the formation of New Town and extension of Salt Lake's Sector-V, Kolkata is rapidly turning into a pro-IT city. ===Film industry=== Kolkata is also famous for the film industry around Tollygunge, known as "Tollywood" (a blend of Tollygunge and Hollywood). From a beginning in the silent era in 1919 to the talking era in the 1930s and the golden days of the 1950s to the 70s has been a chequered history. It has seen renowned filmmakers like Satyajit Ray, Bimal Roy, Ritwik Ghatak and Mrinal Sen. ===Geography=== [[File:Eastern High - Rajarhat 2012-04-11 9384.JPG|thumb|Apartment buildings in New Town, Kolkata]] Kolkata is in the eastern part of India and is spread along the eastern banks of the Hooghly River. The city of Kolkata is ''huge'', stretching from the industrial suburbs in the north to the mushrooming area in the south, a distance of almost {{km|70}}. The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has an area of {{km2|185}}. The city can be roughly divided into two sections along Mother Teresa Sarani (which was known during the British rule as Park Street). North of Park Street is the more congested part of the city. South of Park Street is the slightly better planned section of the city. South Kolkata is better planned with wider roads and better equipped police force for keeping law & order. The better planning in South Kolkata is because it was built much later. The North is the real, old Kolkata and most of the oldest families and buildings are situated there. Over the past several years the city has expanded to the south and the east. The old Central Business District (CBD) is where the seat of the Government of West Bengal is located, along with many other government offices. Several banks have their corporate or regional headquarters around the B. B. D. Bagh area (named after the revolutionaries Benoy Basu, Badal Gupta and Dinesh Gupta who forced entry into the Writers' Building, the epicentre of the British Raj government in Bengal). Many of Kolkata's older business groups have their main offices here. The area is a mix of multi-storeyed office blocks and colonial buildings. The newer CBD is around the south of Park Street, Camac Street and Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Road. Several high-rise office blocks including some of Kolkata's tallest commercial buildings, like the Chatterjee International Centre, Tata Centre, Everest House, Industry House, CGO Building, are located here. An even-newer CBD is now being set up in the Rajarhat-New Town area, lying between Bidhannagar (Salt Lake) and the Airport. Maidan (meaning open field) is between the river Hooghly and J. L. Nehru Road (or Chowringhee Road). It is said to be the lungs of Kolkata. The lush green meadow also houses Victoria Memorial, Eden Gardens, and several sporting clubs. Kolkatans simply love to stroll in the Maidan. In an effort to relieve congestion in the main city, many government offices have shifted to high-rise office buildings lining Salt Lake City's Central Park. The residential buildings are mainly low-rise and comprise of older colonial buildings and numerous new four-storied apartment blocks. 10- to 12-storey apartment blocks have come up in large numbers in South Kolkata. The city has relaxed its rules on high-rise construction and 20-storey buildings are becoming more common. The tallest residential towers of eastern India, the four 35-storey towers of South City, are on Prince Anwar Shah Road. Heavy construction activity along the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass is changing the face of the city. Luxury hotels, a convention centre, speciality hospitals, condominium complexes, malls and multiplexes are coming up at a rapid pace. The city's expansion in the eastern side is spearheaded by the construction of a new satellite township called New Town adjacent to the well planned Salt Lake City. It is one of the largest planned urban developments in India. The neglected western side of the urban agglomeration has got a boost with the signing of an agreement with Ciputra, an Indonesian company to build the Kolkata West International City (KWIC). Another huge new township is in the proposal state in [[Dankuni]]. Slums and dilapidated structures exist in many pockets of the city proper and house over 25% of the city's population (2001 census). Slum redevelopment schemes have helped improve living conditions by a small extent but there is huge scope for improvement in this area. Efforts to shift slum dwellers to newer developments have often met with resistance and failure because many of the slums are in prime areas of the city and the slum dwellers who are integrated in the social structure of the neighbourhood do not want to shift. Many roads in Kolkata have two names in use: the old colonial name that is still commonly used by locals, and the official post-independence new name that you will see in maps and on road signs. ===Climate=== {{Climate| units = Metric | janhigh =24.6 | febhigh =29.7 | marhigh =34.0 | aprhigh =36.3 | mayhigh =36.0 | junhigh =34.1 | julhigh =32.2 | aughigh =32.0 | sephigh =32.2 | octhigh =31.9 | novhigh =29.8 | dechigh =27.0 | janlow =13.4 | feblow =16.9 | marlow =21.7 | aprlow =25.1 | maylow =26.4 | junlow =26.5 | jullow =26.1 | auglow =26.1 | seplow =25.8 | octlow =24.0 | novlow =19.6 | declow =14.5 | janprecip =16.9 | febprecip =22.9 | marprecip =32.8 | aprprecip =47.7 | mayprecip =101.7 | junprecip =259.9 | julprecip =331.8 | augprecip =328.8 | sepprecip =295.9 | octprecip =151.3 | novprecip =26 | decprecip =17.2 | description =Source: [http://www.imd.gov.in/section/climate/kolkata1.htm IMD] }} [[File:Nalban - Kolkata 2011-09-14 5167.JPG|thumb|Monsoon clouds over Kolkata.]] Kolkata has three main seasons: summer, monsoon, and winter.

The most common way is the regular comfortable a/c buses from [[Dhaka]] to Kolkata via the [[Haridaspur]] / [[Benapole]] border post. Private bus companies '''[http://www.shohagh.com/group/ Shohagh]''', '''[http://www.greenlineparibahan.com/ Green Line]''','''[http://shyamolibusservice.com/ Shyamoli]''' and others operate daily bus services on this route. Govt. buses run under the label of the state govt. undertaken West Bengal Transport Corporation (WBTC) and the '''[http://www.brtc.gov.bd/ Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation]''' (BRTC). WBTC and BRTC operate buses from Kolkata every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 5:30AM and 8:30AM, and 12:30PM while from Dhaka they leave on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7AM and 7:30AM. The normal journey time is around 12 hr with a one-way fare of 550 or 600-800 [[Bangladesh#Money|Bangladeshi taka]]s. If you're only headed to [[Haridaspur]] the fare is ₹86 (2½ hours). The '''Shyamoli Paribahan''' ticket office is at 6/1 Marquis St (''parallel to and one block south of Sudder Street, and just west of Mirza Ghalib St, next door to DHL''), 2252 0693. Several travel agencies around this area also sell tickets for these buses, but at very inflated prices. At the border, it's best to change money on the Indian side, but count it carefully and double-check the maths on their calculator. On the Bangladesh side there are some bus stands just behind the border, or you can catch a flat-bed cycle-rickshaw for 5 Bangladeshi takas for the 2-km trip to the bus stand for onward travel, or you can walk, but expect the hopeful rickshaw-wallahs to follow you at least half way. '''From Eastern India via Bangladesh'''. Bus travel to some points in Eastern India is faster via Bangladesh (visas will be required for entry into Bangladesh as well as for re-entry into India). If you're heading to points in Eastern India (Tripura for example) beyond Bangladesh, then there is a regular bus service between [[Dhaka]] and [[Agartala]], the capital of India's [[Tripura]] state. Two BRTC buses leave daily from Dhaka and connect with the Tripura Road Transport Corporation vehicles, running six days a week with a roundtrip fare of 600 Bangladeshi takas. There is only one halt at '''Ashuganj''' in Bangladesh during the journey. Call {{phone|+880 2 8360241}} for schedule. Other entry points to North-Eastern India through Bangladesh are '''Hili''', Chilahati / '''Haldibari''' and '''Banglaband''' border posts through Northern Bangladesh and '''Tamabil/Dawki''' border post for a route between [[Shillong]] ([[Meghalaya]]) and [[Sylhet]] in North-Eastern Bangladesh, and some others with lesser-known routes from north-eastern Indian regions. Although scheduled bus services to Shillong from Kolkata through Dhaka may not be available, you can get to those points via land routes going through Sylhet and then on to Tamabil/Dawki border outposts.

They're easily available, relatively cheap, and will use their meters, at least in theory. However, Kolkata taxis sometimes refuse to go to some distant remote locations (like Behala, Bansdroni, Howrah) where they wouldn't get any passenger while returning. If they agree, they will demand high pay; be ready for such a situation. New taxis have been introduced, which are called "No Refusal Taxis", but sadly, these taxis are also no different. Some of the new taxis are air-conditioned; usually, these will also have a "Same Fare" sign on them. There is a 25% extra charge if you want the air-conditioner to be turned on in such taxis. In Kolkata, it is a crime for taxis to refuse a request to go to certain destinations, and they can be fined, but if you threaten the driver with a complaint to the police, they will simply ask you to complain. Cars by app-based services such as Uber and Ola are easily available (round-the-clock), reasonably priced, comfortable and have been embraced by citizens. ===By metro=== [[File:Kolkata Metro.jpg|thumb|The Kolkata Metro is the oldest metro system in India.]] Kolkata's [http://www.kmrc.in/ '''Metro Rail'''] is the oldest underground and elevated railway system in India. It is the fastest, cleanest, most reliable, least crowded (though still rather crowded) and most efficient of all the transportation Kolkata has to offer. Trains run every 6-15 min. They run from 7AM-9:45PM from Monday to Saturday and 10AM-9:45PM. on Sunday. Line 1 connects the North and South of the city, from Dakshineswar to New Garia. Line 2 connects the city from Salt Lake Sector-V to Sealdah. New Tourist Smart Cards shall be introduced, Card-I. valid for one day unlimited ride, Card-II. for three days. For more about these, read the '''[http://www.mtp.indianrailways.gov.in/viewsection_opennew2.jsp?lang=0&id=0,2,396 conditions here].''' ===By tram=== Kolkata has the only tram service in all of India and the oldest surviving electric tram network in Asia. Though decommissioned in some parts of the city, electric trams are still one of the means of travelling between a few places within the city. Operated by WBTC since 2016, they move slowly on the laid tracks in traffic-jammed streets, but they are environment-friendly (no emissions on the street, only at the source of energy generation). The network includes '''[http://wbtc.co.in/ 25 Tram Routes]''' ===By train=== The electrified suburban rail network of SER and ER is extensive and includes the Circular Rail. Depending on the route, 'local' trains can be extremely crowded. It is less expensive to travel around by train as compared to private cabs or taxis. Men are advised not to sit in the ‘Ladies’ compartment. ===By bus=== The city has an extensive bus network (possibly the most exhaustive in the whole of India) and this is the cheapest, though not always the most comfortable means of transport. The routes are written all over the colourful buses in Bengali and also in English. The conductors call out their destinations to everyone he's passing and all you have to do is wave at the bus anywhere and it will stop, at times causing a small queue of other cars behind it. Esplanade is a major bus terminus in Kolkata. Karunamoyee in Salt Lake City is another major bus depot. Some buses operate from the Babughat area in Kolkata as well. Among the buses that ply the city streets, the deluxe buses run by JNNURM (Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission) and WBTC (West Bengal Transport Corporation) are probably the better option. Air-conditioned buses (Volvo) are also available to many destinations. ===By auto-rickshaw=== In Kolkata, there are shared auto-rickshaws, i.e. the auto-rickshaws don't ferry just a single person but four person at a time. The fare is not set by meters, as fares are fixed by the auto-rickshaw associations. Auto-rickshaws have a fixed route and a vehicle of that route travel in that particular route only. However unlike taxis, they don't refuse passengers. The fare of an auto-rickshaw is much less than that of a taxi (for example, ₹7-10). Be prepared to give the exact fare as they are very reluctant to give change. ===By rickshaw=== [[File:Manpowered rickshaw.JPG|thumb|A human-pulled rickshaw]] There are two types of rickshaws in Kolkata: human pulled rickshaws and cycle-rickshaws. However human-pulled rickshaws are confined to the Gariahat and Ballygunge region and take more fare than cycle-rickshaws. The cycle-rickshaw is the most convenient mean of transport in Kolkata. It is very cheap and can accommodate two adults. The fare is not determined by meter by the respective rickshaw association. Unlike auto-rickshaws, they go to any place in a particular region. However, after 10PM rickshaw drivers may demand an exorbitant fees, and the same goes for times during natural calamities such as heavy rainfall. ===By ferry=== The river offers a less crowded but slow traffic medium. There are several points (popularly called Ghats and jetties) on the bank of the river from where you can board several regular routes of ferry services. Ferries can be fairly large launches to small improvised motorized boats. Even if you don't get any exotic manual boat like you get in [[Varanasi]], the river transport of the city lets you go to several old spots near the bank in a hassle-free manner with an additional dash of the view of decadent river front of the city. ===By rental car=== Privately owned rental car places are available throughout the city. Rates depend on the make, model, size and comfort level of the car. Agreements are flexible, for example, cars can be rented even for couple of hours at an hourly rate. Most rental cars are accompanied with a driver from the rental agency. ===By foot=== Except in [[Kolkata/Maidan|Maidan]] and newly developed areas, much of Kolkata is not so pedestrian-friendly. In the more tourist oriented areas, you'll be constantly accosted by beggars and touts. Crossing roads often involves wading across multiple lanes of heavy traffic. Try your best to move in a predictable straight line, so vehicles can weave around you. Better yet, latch onto a group of locals and cross in their shadow. If you really want to walk around, these places would be good: * Walk along the Hooghly River. There is a good promenade near the Eden Gardens. * Walk along the Chowringhee Road, which sets the pace as you unravel the rare beauty of this city. Across the road sweeps a huge, lush green, open parkland called the '''[[Kolkata/Maidan|Maidan]]''', centering around '''Fort William''', the massive and impregnable British Citadel built in 1773. A rambling green ‘lung of Kolkata’, the area is a hub of diverse activities. ==Talk== Being in [[West Bengal]], the native language of the people of Kolkata is '''[[Bengali phrasebook|Bengali]]'''. However, most locals also speak English and some [[Hindi phrasebook|Hindi]]. Many shopkeepers and taxi drivers are able to communicate in broken English, and government offices will typically have English-speaking staff on duty. Although it is generally not a problem getting by with English, learning some Bengali will make your trip much smoother. == See == [[File:Indian Museum, Courtyard, Kolkata, India.jpg|thumb|Built in 1814, the Indian Museum is one of the oldest museums in India]] [[File:Kolkatatemple.jpg|thumb|Dakshineswar Kali Temple]] [[File:Science_City_Kolkata_4643.JPG|thumb|Science City]] Kolkata is known for its numerous attractions — palaces, parks and museums — built during and after the 190 years of [[British Raj|British rule in India]]. The most notable sites are the '''Victoria Memorial''' (a memorial hall dedicated to the memory of Queen Victoria), the '''Howrah Bridge''' (a cantilever bridge opened in 1943), '''Dakshineswar Kali Temple''' (a Hindu temple associated with Sri Ramakrishna), '''Science City''' (a massive science museum in [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]]) and the '''Indian Museum''' (one of the oldest museums in India). Detailed listings of all sights in Kolkata can be found in the district articles. ==Do== Take a '''tram ride''' in Kolkata.

Several modern '''cinemas''' are dotted around the city, including [http://www.inoxmovies.com/ INOX] with several locations, [http://www.famecinemas.com/ Fame] at Metropolis Mall in Highland Park, and [http://www.adlabscinemas.com/ RDB Adlabs] at RDB Boulevard, Near Infinity Building in Salt Lake Sector-V, all showing Indian and American blockbusters. Unlike most of cricket-obsessed India, '''[[Association football|football (soccer)]]''' reigns supreme in Kolkata, with the local clubs [http://www.mohunbaganac.com Mohun Bagan Athletic Club] and [http://www.eastbengalfootballclub.com East Bengal Club] being the most successful in India. They contest the Kolkata Derby biannually, which is considered by many to be the oldest and most intense football rivalry in all of Asia. ===Events=== '''[http://www.iplt20.com/ Indian Premier League]''' (IPL) is the main club [[cricket]] league in India. It is one of the world's most widely attended sporting events, and if you are in Kolkata during the season (April–May), consider watching the home team (Kolkata Knight Riders) play at Eden Gardens. '''[http://www.kolkatabookfaironline.com Kolkata Book Fair]''' takes place from the last week of January to the first week of February. It is the largest book fair in Asia and is a significant event in the city. '''Durga Puja''', a festival honouring the Hindu goddess Durga, takes place in October. The biggest festival for Hindus in Bengal and Eastern India, Kolkata takes on an almost carnival-like ambience. Streets shut down for the construction of ''pandals'', large stands that depict events from the Ramayana and crowds flock to the biggest and best ones. Durga Puja in Kolkata has been listed as a [[UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage]] in 2022. A good time to visit, unless you have a fear of crowds. ==Learn== Kolkata is a key centre of learning in India. The most famous universities and colleges in Kolkata are the '''Medical College and Hospital''', '''Jadavpur University''', the '''University of Calcutta''', the '''Presidency University''' and '''Indian Institute of Management Calcutta'''. Apart from undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral courses, there are several training and diploma-level institutes and polytechnics that cater to the growing demand for skill-based and vocational education. ==Work== '''Volunteering''' is a real option here with several opportunities. * '''Brother Xavier's New Hope'''. Home for orphans of Kolkata's red light district. A much smaller mission than Mother Teresa's which one man built from the ground up. Brother Xavier and the children always need volunteers and funds. * '''Mother Teresa's Mission''' accepts volunteers to help in its multiple projects around the city. Enquire at the motherhouse. ==Buy== Traditionally Kolkata had certain shopping areas or districts. The New Market area was considered the core of fashionable marketing. That was the marketplace for the British and later patronised by the more sophisticated Indians. There were large markets in Burrabazar, Hatibagan-Shyambazar, Gariahat and Bhowanipore. There were several specialised markets: electrical goods at Chandni Chowk, jewellery at Bowbazar, books at College Street, fish at Maniktala, flowers at Jagannath Ghat, the Maidan market for sports goods and so on. The malls are a more recent addition. The South City Mall, one of the biggest in the city, is in its [[Kolkata/Southern fringes|southern fringes]]. The Quest Mall is another large shopping mall at Park Circus, an old neighbourhood in [[Kolkata/South|South Kolkata]].There are large number of malls in [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]] and new malls are being added. '''See district articles for specific listings.''' ==Eat== [[File:Rasgulla - Kolkata 2011-08-02 4547.JPG|thumb|''Roshogolla,'' sweet dumplings made out of ''Chenna'' (Indian cottage cheese) and semolina dough.]] Kolkata has old traditions about eating out. Wilson's Hotel (which later became the Great Eastern Hotel) is credited to have been the first western-style hotel/restaurant in Kolkata, serving what was then forbidden food for Indians, particularly Hindus. One could be treated as an out-caste if caught eating there, but the idea caught on and others followed. Many of the restaurants that line the streets in the Esplanade area have been around for more than a hundred years. The joy of food in Kolkata is in its Indian foods. Nizam's (at 23-24 Hogg Street), close to New Market, is credited with the invention of the famous Kati Kebab roll and still serves up the best of the best. For Mughlai dishes, there are several places to eat in the [[Kolkata/South|Park Circus]] area and there are others all over the city. Besides Bengali foods, Kolkata is also the home of Indian Chinese food. Chinese restaurants are everywhere so try the Indian variant of hot and sour soup and the famous Indian Chinese dish of chilli chicken. The best place to have Chinese is to visit Chinatown near Tangra, [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]]. It serves the best of the Chinese dishes and you will find plenty of large, small & medium restaurants. There are some restaurants serving Thai, Mediterranean or Italian food. Kolkata also has many excellent vegetarian restaurants ranging from budget to expensive ones. There are two types: those serving North Indian and those serving South Indian food. For those looking for vegetarian street foods, one can find ubiquitous ''jhal muri'' (somewhat similar to ''bhel puri'' of [[Mumbai]]) a concoction of puffed rice mixed with various spices, vegetables & other ingredients available at street vendors all over Kolkata. Street vendors selling egg rolls/chicken rolls abound and their freshly prepared kati rolls are safe to eat. Mughlai Paratha (earlier it was a paratha stuffed with minced meat, but now the minced meat has been replaced by cheaper but tasty alternatives) is a Kolkata speciality. ''Fuchka'', the Kolkata version of paani-puri, but very different from the ones found in Delhi, is available on the streets but be wary of the tamarind water. It never troubles the local people and outsiders can safely taste this delicacy as long as they don't take too much. Earlier, the restaurants were standalone entities. A cluster of restaurants in a single mall is a comparatively new idea and has become popular. (See district pages for restaurant listings.) ==Drink== {{movetodistrict}} There are plenty of places to buy alcohol around the city. Kolkata has many pubs and bars, which are frequented by youngsters as well as its older residents. Some pubs have live concerts or DJs. They include: *Someplace Else (The Park) * Roxy (The Park) * Aqua (The Park) * The Myx (Park Street) * Olypub (Park Street), famous for the beer and the beef steak * Mocha (AJC Bose Road) * Underground (HHI, AJC Bose Road) * Nocturne (Theatre Road) * Shisha Bar Stock Exchange, The Factory Outlet (22 Camac Street) * Chili's (Quest Mall, South City Mall, Acropolis Mall Kasba) * Cafe Mezzuna (Forum Mall Elgin Road, South City Mall) * Hoppipola (Acropolis Mall) * Afraa Lounge (City Centre Salt Lake) * Fairlawns (Sudder Street) * Big Ben (The Kenilworth, Little Russel Street) All pubs are supposed to shut shop by midnight or 1AM. So go early if you want to enjoy yourself in the club. ==Sleep== Kolkata has long had a concentration of budget backpacker hotels in the [[Kolkata/Esplanade#Sleep|Sudder Street]] area and many of these are colonial era gems, albeit decaying ones. Sudder Street is centrally located and is well connected by public transport. Both the major railway stations at [[Howrah]] and [[Kolkata/North#Sleep|Sealdah]] have many hotels around them. Most of them might be only licensed to accommodate Indian citizens. Be sure to not walk with a local "friend" or guide, unless you want to have higher prices. There are some hotels in [[Kolkata/South#Sleep|Gariahat]]. The growth of the IT Sector and hospital facilities in [[Kolkata/East#Sleep|East Kolkata]] has led to development of hotels in that area. British-era clubs such as Tollygunge Club, Calcutta Club (AJC Bose Rd), Saturday Club (Theatre Rd), and Bengal Club (Russel St) have lavish rooms for rent. However, they only accept bookings through members. (See district pages for hotel listings.) ==Stay safe== {{cautionbox | Recently, several roads and streets in Kolkata become one-way, permanently or temporarily, generally without notice. Unless you know where the streets in Kolkata become one-way, avoid using your car to drive in the city. Otherwise, you might face a hefty fine from traffic police. | lastedit=2022-08-05 }} [[File:India - Kolkata street beggar - 3246.jpg|thumb|A beggar in Kolkata]] Kolkata is one of the safest metropolitan areas in India, and the people are friendly and helpful, unlike in most of India's other large cities. One noted problem is the drug dealers around Sudder Street. However, as the dealers obviously do not want to draw undue attention to their activity, they are not persistent and rarely a threat. There have been rare incidents of chain, bag and mobile snatching in railway stations and empty roads. Visitors outside the city are often magnets for [[begging|beggars]], frauds and touts. In [[Kolkata/South|South Kolkata]], beggars often knock at the glass windows of cars. It does little good to get angry or to say "No" loudly. The best response is to look unconcerned and ignore the behaviour. The more attention you pay to a beggar or a tout, positive or negative, the longer they will follow you hoping for a donation. ===Kolkata Police=== The [http://www.kolkatapolice.gov.in/ Kolkata Police] is a police force serving the city. While most of the police officers are honest and helpful, you may find some officers who may be corrupt and unhelpful. '''For police assistance during an emergency dial 100.'''

It is the largest city in Eastern India. Kolkata is an 'in your face' city that shocks and charms the unsuspecting visitor. Long known as the cultural capital of India and home to the so-called Bengal Renaissance, 'The City of Joy' (the sobriquet became more famous after the publication of a novel of the same name) continues to spawn generations of poets, writers, film directors and Nobel Prize winners. If your trip only allows for a visit of one or two of India's metropolitan cities, then definitely consider placing Kolkata on your itinerary. Kolkata is arguably one of the most socially, culturally and politically progressive cities in India.

Job Charnock was widely known as the founder of Calcutta. There were 3 villages named Sutanuti, Gobindapur and Kalikata. Later the village Kalikata became the city Kolkata. But some Indian historians have disputed this claim, arguing that Kolkata developed naturally over a period, centred on the ancient Kali temple at Kalighat and the port at Kidderpore. Whatever its origins, Kolkata flowered as the capital of British India during the 19th century, the heyday of the Raj. The University of Calcutta, the first modern Indian university was founded here in 1857. Kolkata became the centre of Indian arts and literature, and the national movement for independence got its start here. However, with the transfer of the capital to Delhi in 1911, the pains of the partition of Bengal in 1947, a violent repressive and feudal state machinery operational for nearly the first two decades after independence, the ideologically motivated Maoist movement (the Naxalbari movement) in the 1970s, followed by the Marxist rule has shaped the city to its present form. ===Modern Kolkata=== Kolkata has become the main business, commercial and financial hub of eastern India. The city's economic fortunes grew as the economic liberalisation in India during the early 1990s reached Kolkata during late 1990s. Kolkata is a multicultural and cosmopolitan city, with diversity from all over India as well as Europeans (including Germans, Armenians, and others) and other Asians (including Chinese, Sinhalese, and Tibetans). Kolkata is also notable for being home to India's largest Chinatown, which continues to be home to many ethnic Chinese residents whose families have lived in India for several generations. In 1977, a "Left Front" coalition of the Communist and Marxist parties came to power and ruled the state for 34 years. This is reflected in street names and memorials in the city with names like Lenin Sarani and Ho Chi Minh Sarani. During this period, the various egalitarian approaches implemented at improving the living standards of the down-trodden has helped the city in bridging the wealth-gap and decreasing impoverishment. ===Economy=== [[File:Camac Street 'G K Tower'.jpg|thumb|GK Tower located in Camac Street]] [[File:SC Mall (1).JPG|thumb|The South City Mall in Jadavpur, is one of the largest shopping malls in Kolkata]] Kolkata is fast developing into a modern infotech city with various private sector companies setting up shops here. The landscape of the city is also fast changing with flyovers, gardens and several new commercial establishments. Kolkata city has expanded into its suburbs, with [[Greater Kolkata]] stretching from [[Kalyani]] (in Nadia district) in north to [[Jaynagar Majilpur]] in south (in South 24 Parganas district). The city's fortunes have looked up since the early 1990s, coinciding with the liberalisation of the Indian economy. Its economy has been amongst the fastest growing in the country. The New Metro city is characterised by popular spots such as multiplexes, theatres, clubs, pubs, coffee shops, and museums. Kolkata is home to many industrial units, of large Indian corporations, whose product range is varied and includes engineering products, electronics, electrical equipment, cables, steel, leather, textiles, jewellery, frigates, automobiles, railway coaches and wagons. Several industrial estates like Taratala, Uluberia, Dankuni, Kasba, and Howrah are spread throughout the urban agglomeration. A huge leather complex has come up at Bantala. An export processing zone has been set up in Falta. Specialised setups like the country's first Toy Park, and a Gem and Jewellery Park have also been established. Kolkata is also starting to become a major hub for the IT (Information Technology) industry. With the formation of New Town and extension of Salt Lake's Sector-V, Kolkata is rapidly turning into a pro-IT city. ===Film industry=== Kolkata is also famous for the film industry around Tollygunge, known as "Tollywood" (a blend of Tollygunge and Hollywood). From a beginning in the silent era in 1919 to the talking era in the 1930s and the golden days of the 1950s to the 70s has been a chequered history. It has seen renowned filmmakers like Satyajit Ray, Bimal Roy, Ritwik Ghatak and Mrinal Sen. ===Geography=== [[File:Eastern High - Rajarhat 2012-04-11 9384.JPG|thumb|Apartment buildings in New Town, Kolkata]] Kolkata is in the eastern part of India and is spread along the eastern banks of the Hooghly River. The city of Kolkata is ''huge'', stretching from the industrial suburbs in the north to the mushrooming area in the south, a distance of almost {{km|70}}. The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has an area of {{km2|185}}. The city can be roughly divided into two sections along Mother Teresa Sarani (which was known during the British rule as Park Street). North of Park Street is the more congested part of the city. South of Park Street is the slightly better planned section of the city. South Kolkata is better planned with wider roads and better equipped police force for keeping law & order. The better planning in South Kolkata is because it was built much later. The North is the real, old Kolkata and most of the oldest families and buildings are situated there. Over the past several years the city has expanded to the south and the east. The old Central Business District (CBD) is where the seat of the Government of West Bengal is located, along with many other government offices. Several banks have their corporate or regional headquarters around the B. B. D. Bagh area (named after the revolutionaries Benoy Basu, Badal Gupta and Dinesh Gupta who forced entry into the Writers' Building, the epicentre of the British Raj government in Bengal). Many of Kolkata's older business groups have their main offices here. The area is a mix of multi-storeyed office blocks and colonial buildings. The newer CBD is around the south of Park Street, Camac Street and Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Road. Several high-rise office blocks including some of Kolkata's tallest commercial buildings, like the Chatterjee International Centre, Tata Centre, Everest House, Industry House, CGO Building, are located here. An even-newer CBD is now being set up in the Rajarhat-New Town area, lying between Bidhannagar (Salt Lake) and the Airport. Maidan (meaning open field) is between the river Hooghly and J. L. Nehru Road (or Chowringhee Road). It is said to be the lungs of Kolkata. The lush green meadow also houses Victoria Memorial, Eden Gardens, and several sporting clubs. Kolkatans simply love to stroll in the Maidan. In an effort to relieve congestion in the main city, many government offices have shifted to high-rise office buildings lining Salt Lake City's Central Park. The residential buildings are mainly low-rise and comprise of older colonial buildings and numerous new four-storied apartment blocks. 10- to 12-storey apartment blocks have come up in large numbers in South Kolkata. The city has relaxed its rules on high-rise construction and 20-storey buildings are becoming more common. The tallest residential towers of eastern India, the four 35-storey towers of South City, are on Prince Anwar Shah Road. Heavy construction activity along the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass is changing the face of the city. Luxury hotels, a convention centre, speciality hospitals, condominium complexes, malls and multiplexes are coming up at a rapid pace. The city's expansion in the eastern side is spearheaded by the construction of a new satellite township called New Town adjacent to the well planned Salt Lake City. It is one of the largest planned urban developments in India. The neglected western side of the urban agglomeration has got a boost with the signing of an agreement with Ciputra, an Indonesian company to build the Kolkata West International City (KWIC). Another huge new township is in the proposal state in [[Dankuni]]. Slums and dilapidated structures exist in many pockets of the city proper and house over 25% of the city's population (2001 census). Slum redevelopment schemes have helped improve living conditions by a small extent but there is huge scope for improvement in this area. Efforts to shift slum dwellers to newer developments have often met with resistance and failure because many of the slums are in prime areas of the city and the slum dwellers who are integrated in the social structure of the neighbourhood do not want to shift. Many roads in Kolkata have two names in use: the old colonial name that is still commonly used by locals, and the official post-independence new name that you will see in maps and on road signs. ===Climate=== {{Climate| units = Metric | janhigh =24.6 | febhigh =29.7 | marhigh =34.0 | aprhigh =36.3 | mayhigh =36.0 | junhigh =34.1 | julhigh =32.2 | aughigh =32.0 | sephigh =32.2 | octhigh =31.9 | novhigh =29.8 | dechigh =27.0 | janlow =13.4 | feblow =16.9 | marlow =21.7 | aprlow =25.1 | maylow =26.4 | junlow =26.5 | jullow =26.1 | auglow =26.1 | seplow =25.8 | octlow =24.0 | novlow =19.6 | declow =14.5 | janprecip =16.9 | febprecip =22.9 | marprecip =32.8 | aprprecip =47.7 | mayprecip =101.7 | junprecip =259.9 | julprecip =331.8 | augprecip =328.8 | sepprecip =295.9 | octprecip =151.3 | novprecip =26 | decprecip =17.2 | description =Source: [http://www.imd.gov.in/section/climate/kolkata1.htm IMD] }} [[File:Nalban - Kolkata 2011-09-14 5167.JPG|thumb|Monsoon clouds over Kolkata.]] Kolkata has three main seasons: summer, monsoon, and winter. Summer, from March–May, is hot and humid with temperatures touching 38-42°C. Monsoon starts in June and lasts till September or October. This is the time when heavy showers sometimes lead to waterlogging in a few areas. Winter is from November to February.

The most common way is the regular comfortable a/c buses from [[Dhaka]] to Kolkata via the [[Haridaspur]] / [[Benapole]] border post. Private bus companies '''[http://www.shohagh.com/group/ Shohagh]''', '''[http://www.greenlineparibahan.com/ Green Line]''','''[http://shyamolibusservice.com/ Shyamoli]''' and others operate daily bus services on this route. Govt. buses run under the label of the state govt. undertaken West Bengal Transport Corporation (WBTC) and the '''[http://www.brtc.gov.bd/ Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation]''' (BRTC). WBTC and BRTC operate buses from Kolkata every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 5:30AM and 8:30AM, and 12:30PM while from Dhaka they leave on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7AM and 7:30AM. The normal journey time is around 12 hr with a one-way fare of 550 or 600-800 [[Bangladesh#Money|Bangladeshi taka]]s. If you're only headed to [[Haridaspur]] the fare is ₹86 (2½ hours). The '''Shyamoli Paribahan''' ticket office is at 6/1 Marquis St (''parallel to and one block south of Sudder Street, and just west of Mirza Ghalib St, next door to DHL''), 2252 0693. Several travel agencies around this area also sell tickets for these buses, but at very inflated prices. At the border, it's best to change money on the Indian side, but count it carefully and double-check the maths on their calculator. On the Bangladesh side there are some bus stands just behind the border, or you can catch a flat-bed cycle-rickshaw for 5 Bangladeshi takas for the 2-km trip to the bus stand for onward travel, or you can walk, but expect the hopeful rickshaw-wallahs to follow you at least half way. '''From Eastern India via Bangladesh'''. Bus travel to some points in Eastern India is faster via Bangladesh (visas will be required for entry into Bangladesh as well as for re-entry into India). If you're heading to points in Eastern India (Tripura for example) beyond Bangladesh, then there is a regular bus service between [[Dhaka]] and [[Agartala]], the capital of India's [[Tripura]] state. Two BRTC buses leave daily from Dhaka and connect with the Tripura Road Transport Corporation vehicles, running six days a week with a roundtrip fare of 600 Bangladeshi takas. There is only one halt at '''Ashuganj''' in Bangladesh during the journey. Call {{phone|+880 2 8360241}} for schedule. Other entry points to North-Eastern India through Bangladesh are '''Hili''', Chilahati / '''Haldibari''' and '''Banglaband''' border posts through Northern Bangladesh and '''Tamabil/Dawki''' border post for a route between [[Shillong]] ([[Meghalaya]]) and [[Sylhet]] in North-Eastern Bangladesh, and some others with lesser-known routes from north-eastern Indian regions. Although scheduled bus services to Shillong from Kolkata through Dhaka may not be available, you can get to those points via land routes going through Sylhet and then on to Tamabil/Dawki border outposts.

They're easily available, relatively cheap, and will use their meters, at least in theory. However, Kolkata taxis sometimes refuse to go to some distant remote locations (like Behala, Bansdroni, Howrah) where they wouldn't get any passenger while returning. If they agree, they will demand high pay; be ready for such a situation. New taxis have been introduced, which are called "No Refusal Taxis", but sadly, these taxis are also no different. Some of the new taxis are air-conditioned; usually, these will also have a "Same Fare" sign on them. There is a 25% extra charge if you want the air-conditioner to be turned on in such taxis. In Kolkata, it is a crime for taxis to refuse a request to go to certain destinations, and they can be fined, but if you threaten the driver with a complaint to the police, they will simply ask you to complain. Cars by app-based services such as Uber and Ola are easily available (round-the-clock), reasonably priced, comfortable and have been embraced by citizens. ===By metro=== [[File:Kolkata Metro.jpg|thumb|The Kolkata Metro is the oldest metro system in India.]] Kolkata's [http://www.kmrc.in/ '''Metro Rail'''] is the oldest underground and elevated railway system in India. It is the fastest, cleanest, most reliable, least crowded (though still rather crowded) and most efficient of all the transportation Kolkata has to offer. Trains run every 6-15 min. They run from 7AM-9:45PM from Monday to Saturday and 10AM-9:45PM. on Sunday. Line 1 connects the North and South of the city, from Dakshineswar to New Garia. Line 2 connects the city from Salt Lake Sector-V to Sealdah. New Tourist Smart Cards shall be introduced, Card-I. valid for one day unlimited ride, Card-II. for three days. For more about these, read the '''[http://www.mtp.indianrailways.gov.in/viewsection_opennew2.jsp?lang=0&id=0,2,396 conditions here].''' ===By tram=== Kolkata has the only tram service in all of India and the oldest surviving electric tram network in Asia. Though decommissioned in some parts of the city, electric trams are still one of the means of travelling between a few places within the city. Operated by WBTC since 2016, they move slowly on the laid tracks in traffic-jammed streets, but they are environment-friendly (no emissions on the street, only at the source of energy generation). The network includes '''[http://wbtc.co.in/ 25 Tram Routes]''' ===By train=== The electrified suburban rail network of SER and ER is extensive and includes the Circular Rail. Depending on the route, 'local' trains can be extremely crowded. It is less expensive to travel around by train as compared to private cabs or taxis. Men are advised not to sit in the ‘Ladies’ compartment. ===By bus=== The city has an extensive bus network (possibly the most exhaustive in the whole of India) and this is the cheapest, though not always the most comfortable means of transport. The routes are written all over the colourful buses in Bengali and also in English. The conductors call out their destinations to everyone he's passing and all you have to do is wave at the bus anywhere and it will stop, at times causing a small queue of other cars behind it. Esplanade is a major bus terminus in Kolkata. Karunamoyee in Salt Lake City is another major bus depot. Some buses operate from the Babughat area in Kolkata as well. Among the buses that ply the city streets, the deluxe buses run by JNNURM (Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission) and WBTC (West Bengal Transport Corporation) are probably the better option. Air-conditioned buses (Volvo) are also available to many destinations. ===By auto-rickshaw=== In Kolkata, there are shared auto-rickshaws, i.e. the auto-rickshaws don't ferry just a single person but four person at a time. The fare is not set by meters, as fares are fixed by the auto-rickshaw associations. Auto-rickshaws have a fixed route and a vehicle of that route travel in that particular route only. However unlike taxis, they don't refuse passengers. The fare of an auto-rickshaw is much less than that of a taxi (for example, ₹7-10). Be prepared to give the exact fare as they are very reluctant to give change. ===By rickshaw=== [[File:Manpowered rickshaw.JPG|thumb|A human-pulled rickshaw]] There are two types of rickshaws in Kolkata: human pulled rickshaws and cycle-rickshaws. However human-pulled rickshaws are confined to the Gariahat and Ballygunge region and take more fare than cycle-rickshaws. The cycle-rickshaw is the most convenient mean of transport in Kolkata. It is very cheap and can accommodate two adults. The fare is not determined by meter by the respective rickshaw association. Unlike auto-rickshaws, they go to any place in a particular region. However, after 10PM rickshaw drivers may demand an exorbitant fees, and the same goes for times during natural calamities such as heavy rainfall. ===By ferry=== The river offers a less crowded but slow traffic medium. There are several points (popularly called Ghats and jetties) on the bank of the river from where you can board several regular routes of ferry services. Ferries can be fairly large launches to small improvised motorized boats. Even if you don't get any exotic manual boat like you get in [[Varanasi]], the river transport of the city lets you go to several old spots near the bank in a hassle-free manner with an additional dash of the view of decadent river front of the city. ===By rental car=== Privately owned rental car places are available throughout the city. Rates depend on the make, model, size and comfort level of the car. Agreements are flexible, for example, cars can be rented even for couple of hours at an hourly rate. Most rental cars are accompanied with a driver from the rental agency. ===By foot=== Except in [[Kolkata/Maidan|Maidan]] and newly developed areas, much of Kolkata is not so pedestrian-friendly. In the more tourist oriented areas, you'll be constantly accosted by beggars and touts. Crossing roads often involves wading across multiple lanes of heavy traffic. Try your best to move in a predictable straight line, so vehicles can weave around you. Better yet, latch onto a group of locals and cross in their shadow. If you really want to walk around, these places would be good: * Walk along the Hooghly River. There is a good promenade near the Eden Gardens. * Walk along the Chowringhee Road, which sets the pace as you unravel the rare beauty of this city. Across the road sweeps a huge, lush green, open parkland called the '''[[Kolkata/Maidan|Maidan]]''', centering around '''Fort William''', the massive and impregnable British Citadel built in 1773. A rambling green ‘lung of Kolkata’, the area is a hub of diverse activities. ==Talk== Being in [[West Bengal]], the native language of the people of Kolkata is '''[[Bengali phrasebook|Bengali]]'''. However, most locals also speak English and some [[Hindi phrasebook|Hindi]]. Many shopkeepers and taxi drivers are able to communicate in broken English, and government offices will typically have English-speaking staff on duty. Although it is generally not a problem getting by with English, learning some Bengali will make your trip much smoother. == See == [[File:Indian Museum, Courtyard, Kolkata, India.jpg|thumb|Built in 1814, the Indian Museum is one of the oldest museums in India]] [[File:Kolkatatemple.jpg|thumb|Dakshineswar Kali Temple]] [[File:Science_City_Kolkata_4643.JPG|thumb|Science City]] Kolkata is known for its numerous attractions — palaces, parks and museums — built during and after the 190 years of [[British Raj|British rule in India]]. The most notable sites are the '''Victoria Memorial''' (a memorial hall dedicated to the memory of Queen Victoria), the '''Howrah Bridge''' (a cantilever bridge opened in 1943), '''Dakshineswar Kali Temple''' (a Hindu temple associated with Sri Ramakrishna), '''Science City''' (a massive science museum in [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]]) and the '''Indian Museum''' (one of the oldest museums in India). Detailed listings of all sights in Kolkata can be found in the district articles. ==Do== Take a '''tram ride''' in Kolkata. The city has the only active tram service in India and has become an icon of Kolkata. They move slow on the laid tracks in traffic-jammed streets. Several modern '''cinemas''' are dotted around the city, including [http://www.inoxmovies.com/ INOX] with several locations, [http://www.famecinemas.com/ Fame] at Metropolis Mall in Highland Park, and [http://www.adlabscinemas.com/ RDB Adlabs] at RDB Boulevard, Near Infinity Building in Salt Lake Sector-V, all showing Indian and American blockbusters. Unlike most of cricket-obsessed India, '''[[Association football|football (soccer)]]''' reigns supreme in Kolkata, with the local clubs [http://www.mohunbaganac.com Mohun Bagan Athletic Club] and [http://www.eastbengalfootballclub.com East Bengal Club] being the most successful in India. They contest the Kolkata Derby biannually, which is considered by many to be the oldest and most intense football rivalry in all of Asia. ===Events=== '''[http://www.iplt20.com/ Indian Premier League]''' (IPL) is the main club [[cricket]] league in India. It is one of the world's most widely attended sporting events, and if you are in Kolkata during the season (April–May), consider watching the home team (Kolkata Knight Riders) play at Eden Gardens. '''[http://www.kolkatabookfaironline.com Kolkata Book Fair]''' takes place from the last week of January to the first week of February. It is the largest book fair in Asia and is a significant event in the city. '''Durga Puja''', a festival honouring the Hindu goddess Durga, takes place in October. The biggest festival for Hindus in Bengal and Eastern India, Kolkata takes on an almost carnival-like ambience. Streets shut down for the construction of ''pandals'', large stands that depict events from the Ramayana and crowds flock to the biggest and best ones. Durga Puja in Kolkata has been listed as a [[UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage]] in 2022. A good time to visit, unless you have a fear of crowds. ==Learn== Kolkata is a key centre of learning in India. The most famous universities and colleges in Kolkata are the '''Medical College and Hospital''', '''Jadavpur University''', the '''University of Calcutta''', the '''Presidency University''' and '''Indian Institute of Management Calcutta'''. Apart from undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral courses, there are several training and diploma-level institutes and polytechnics that cater to the growing demand for skill-based and vocational education. ==Work== '''Volunteering''' is a real option here with several opportunities. * '''Brother Xavier's New Hope'''. Home for orphans of Kolkata's red light district. A much smaller mission than Mother Teresa's which one man built from the ground up. Brother Xavier and the children always need volunteers and funds. * '''Mother Teresa's Mission''' accepts volunteers to help in its multiple projects around the city. Enquire at the motherhouse. ==Buy== Traditionally Kolkata had certain shopping areas or districts. The New Market area was considered the core of fashionable marketing. That was the marketplace for the British and later patronised by the more sophisticated Indians. There were large markets in Burrabazar, Hatibagan-Shyambazar, Gariahat and Bhowanipore. There were several specialised markets: electrical goods at Chandni Chowk, jewellery at Bowbazar, books at College Street, fish at Maniktala, flowers at Jagannath Ghat, the Maidan market for sports goods and so on. The malls are a more recent addition. The South City Mall, one of the biggest in the city, is in its [[Kolkata/Southern fringes|southern fringes]]. The Quest Mall is another large shopping mall at Park Circus, an old neighbourhood in [[Kolkata/South|South Kolkata]].There are large number of malls in [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]] and new malls are being added. '''See district articles for specific listings.''' ==Eat== [[File:Rasgulla - Kolkata 2011-08-02 4547.JPG|thumb|''Roshogolla,'' sweet dumplings made out of ''Chenna'' (Indian cottage cheese) and semolina dough.]] Kolkata has old traditions about eating out. Wilson's Hotel (which later became the Great Eastern Hotel) is credited to have been the first western-style hotel/restaurant in Kolkata, serving what was then forbidden food for Indians, particularly Hindus. One could be treated as an out-caste if caught eating there, but the idea caught on and others followed. Many of the restaurants that line the streets in the Esplanade area have been around for more than a hundred years. The joy of food in Kolkata is in its Indian foods. Nizam's (at 23-24 Hogg Street), close to New Market, is credited with the invention of the famous Kati Kebab roll and still serves up the best of the best. For Mughlai dishes, there are several places to eat in the [[Kolkata/South|Park Circus]] area and there are others all over the city. Besides Bengali foods, Kolkata is also the home of Indian Chinese food. Chinese restaurants are everywhere so try the Indian variant of hot and sour soup and the famous Indian Chinese dish of chilli chicken. The best place to have Chinese is to visit Chinatown near Tangra, [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]]. It serves the best of the Chinese dishes and you will find plenty of large, small & medium restaurants. There are some restaurants serving Thai, Mediterranean or Italian food. Kolkata also has many excellent vegetarian restaurants ranging from budget to expensive ones. There are two types: those serving North Indian and those serving South Indian food. For those looking for vegetarian street foods, one can find ubiquitous ''jhal muri'' (somewhat similar to ''bhel puri'' of [[Mumbai]]) a concoction of puffed rice mixed with various spices, vegetables & other ingredients available at street vendors all over Kolkata. Street vendors selling egg rolls/chicken rolls abound and their freshly prepared kati rolls are safe to eat. Mughlai Paratha (earlier it was a paratha stuffed with minced meat, but now the minced meat has been replaced by cheaper but tasty alternatives) is a Kolkata speciality. ''Fuchka'', the Kolkata version of paani-puri, but very different from the ones found in Delhi, is available on the streets but be wary of the tamarind water. It never troubles the local people and outsiders can safely taste this delicacy as long as they don't take too much. Earlier, the restaurants were standalone entities. A cluster of restaurants in a single mall is a comparatively new idea and has become popular. (See district pages for restaurant listings.) ==Drink== {{movetodistrict}} There are plenty of places to buy alcohol around the city. Kolkata has many pubs and bars, which are frequented by youngsters as well as its older residents. Some pubs have live concerts or DJs. They include: *Someplace Else (The Park) * Roxy (The Park) * Aqua (The Park) * The Myx (Park Street) * Olypub (Park Street), famous for the beer and the beef steak * Mocha (AJC Bose Road) * Underground (HHI, AJC Bose Road) * Nocturne (Theatre Road) * Shisha Bar Stock Exchange, The Factory Outlet (22 Camac Street) * Chili's (Quest Mall, South City Mall, Acropolis Mall Kasba) * Cafe Mezzuna (Forum Mall Elgin Road, South City Mall) * Hoppipola (Acropolis Mall) * Afraa Lounge (City Centre Salt Lake) * Fairlawns (Sudder Street) * Big Ben (The Kenilworth, Little Russel Street) All pubs are supposed to shut shop by midnight or 1AM. So go early if you want to enjoy yourself in the club. ==Sleep== Kolkata has long had a concentration of budget backpacker hotels in the [[Kolkata/Esplanade#Sleep|Sudder Street]] area and many of these are colonial era gems, albeit decaying ones. Sudder Street is centrally located and is well connected by public transport. Both the major railway stations at [[Howrah]] and [[Kolkata/North#Sleep|Sealdah]] have many hotels around them. Most of them might be only licensed to accommodate Indian citizens. Be sure to not walk with a local "friend" or guide, unless you want to have higher prices. There are some hotels in [[Kolkata/South#Sleep|Gariahat]]. The growth of the IT Sector and hospital facilities in [[Kolkata/East#Sleep|East Kolkata]] has led to development of hotels in that area. British-era clubs such as Tollygunge Club, Calcutta Club (AJC Bose Rd), Saturday Club (Theatre Rd), and Bengal Club (Russel St) have lavish rooms for rent. However, they only accept bookings through members. (See district pages for hotel listings.) ==Stay safe== {{cautionbox | Recently, several roads and streets in Kolkata become one-way, permanently or temporarily, generally without notice. Unless you know where the streets in Kolkata become one-way, avoid using your car to drive in the city. Otherwise, you might face a hefty fine from traffic police. | lastedit=2022-08-05 }} [[File:India - Kolkata street beggar - 3246.jpg|thumb|A beggar in Kolkata]] Kolkata is one of the safest metropolitan areas in India, and the people are friendly and helpful, unlike in most of India's other large cities. One noted problem is the drug dealers around Sudder Street. However, as the dealers obviously do not want to draw undue attention to their activity, they are not persistent and rarely a threat. There have been rare incidents of chain, bag and mobile snatching in railway stations and empty roads. Visitors outside the city are often magnets for [[begging|beggars]], frauds and touts. In [[Kolkata/South|South Kolkata]], beggars often knock at the glass windows of cars. It does little good to get angry or to say "No" loudly. The best response is to look unconcerned and ignore the behaviour.

It is the largest city in Eastern India. Kolkata is an 'in your face' city that shocks and charms the unsuspecting visitor. Long known as the cultural capital of India and home to the so-called Bengal Renaissance, 'The City of Joy' (the sobriquet became more famous after the publication of a novel of the same name) continues to spawn generations of poets, writers, film directors and Nobel Prize winners. If your trip only allows for a visit of one or two of India's metropolitan cities, then definitely consider placing Kolkata on your itinerary. Kolkata is arguably one of the most socially, culturally and politically progressive cities in India.

Job Charnock was widely known as the founder of Calcutta. There were 3 villages named Sutanuti, Gobindapur and Kalikata. Later the village Kalikata became the city Kolkata. But some Indian historians have disputed this claim, arguing that Kolkata developed naturally over a period, centred on the ancient Kali temple at Kalighat and the port at Kidderpore. Whatever its origins, Kolkata flowered as the capital of British India during the 19th century, the heyday of the Raj. The University of Calcutta, the first modern Indian university was founded here in 1857. Kolkata became the centre of Indian arts and literature, and the national movement for independence got its start here. However, with the transfer of the capital to Delhi in 1911, the pains of the partition of Bengal in 1947, a violent repressive and feudal state machinery operational for nearly the first two decades after independence, the ideologically motivated Maoist movement (the Naxalbari movement) in the 1970s, followed by the Marxist rule has shaped the city to its present form. ===Modern Kolkata=== Kolkata has become the main business, commercial and financial hub of eastern India. The city's economic fortunes grew as the economic liberalisation in India during the early 1990s reached Kolkata during late 1990s. Kolkata is a multicultural and cosmopolitan city, with diversity from all over India as well as Europeans (including Germans, Armenians, and others) and other Asians (including Chinese, Sinhalese, and Tibetans). Kolkata is also notable for being home to India's largest Chinatown, which continues to be home to many ethnic Chinese residents whose families have lived in India for several generations. In 1977, a "Left Front" coalition of the Communist and Marxist parties came to power and ruled the state for 34 years. This is reflected in street names and memorials in the city with names like Lenin Sarani and Ho Chi Minh Sarani. During this period, the various egalitarian approaches implemented at improving the living standards of the down-trodden has helped the city in bridging the wealth-gap and decreasing impoverishment. ===Economy=== [[File:Camac Street 'G K Tower'.jpg|thumb|GK Tower located in Camac Street]] [[File:SC Mall (1).JPG|thumb|The South City Mall in Jadavpur, is one of the largest shopping malls in Kolkata]] Kolkata is fast developing into a modern infotech city with various private sector companies setting up shops here. The landscape of the city is also fast changing with flyovers, gardens and several new commercial establishments. Kolkata city has expanded into its suburbs, with [[Greater Kolkata]] stretching from [[Kalyani]] (in Nadia district) in north to [[Jaynagar Majilpur]] in south (in South 24 Parganas district). The city's fortunes have looked up since the early 1990s, coinciding with the liberalisation of the Indian economy. Its economy has been amongst the fastest growing in the country. The New Metro city is characterised by popular spots such as multiplexes, theatres, clubs, pubs, coffee shops, and museums. Kolkata is home to many industrial units, of large Indian corporations, whose product range is varied and includes engineering products, electronics, electrical equipment, cables, steel, leather, textiles, jewellery, frigates, automobiles, railway coaches and wagons. Several industrial estates like Taratala, Uluberia, Dankuni, Kasba, and Howrah are spread throughout the urban agglomeration. A huge leather complex has come up at Bantala. An export processing zone has been set up in Falta. Specialised setups like the country's first Toy Park, and a Gem and Jewellery Park have also been established. Kolkata is also starting to become a major hub for the IT (Information Technology) industry. With the formation of New Town and extension of Salt Lake's Sector-V, Kolkata is rapidly turning into a pro-IT city. ===Film industry=== Kolkata is also famous for the film industry around Tollygunge, known as "Tollywood" (a blend of Tollygunge and Hollywood). From a beginning in the silent era in 1919 to the talking era in the 1930s and the golden days of the 1950s to the 70s has been a chequered history. It has seen renowned filmmakers like Satyajit Ray, Bimal Roy, Ritwik Ghatak and Mrinal Sen. ===Geography=== [[File:Eastern High - Rajarhat 2012-04-11 9384.JPG|thumb|Apartment buildings in New Town, Kolkata]] Kolkata is in the eastern part of India and is spread along the eastern banks of the Hooghly River. The city of Kolkata is ''huge'', stretching from the industrial suburbs in the north to the mushrooming area in the south, a distance of almost {{km|70}}. The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has an area of {{km2|185}}. The city can be roughly divided into two sections along Mother Teresa Sarani (which was known during the British rule as Park Street). North of Park Street is the more congested part of the city. South of Park Street is the slightly better planned section of the city. South Kolkata is better planned with wider roads and better equipped police force for keeping law & order. The better planning in South Kolkata is because it was built much later. The North is the real, old Kolkata and most of the oldest families and buildings are situated there. Over the past several years the city has expanded to the south and the east. The old Central Business District (CBD) is where the seat of the Government of West Bengal is located, along with many other government offices. Several banks have their corporate or regional headquarters around the B. B. D. Bagh area (named after the revolutionaries Benoy Basu, Badal Gupta and Dinesh Gupta who forced entry into the Writers' Building, the epicentre of the British Raj government in Bengal). Many of Kolkata's older business groups have their main offices here. The area is a mix of multi-storeyed office blocks and colonial buildings. The newer CBD is around the south of Park Street, Camac Street and Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Road. Several high-rise office blocks including some of Kolkata's tallest commercial buildings, like the Chatterjee International Centre, Tata Centre, Everest House, Industry House, CGO Building, are located here. An even-newer CBD is now being set up in the Rajarhat-New Town area, lying between Bidhannagar (Salt Lake) and the Airport. Maidan (meaning open field) is between the river Hooghly and J. L. Nehru Road (or Chowringhee Road). It is said to be the lungs of Kolkata. The lush green meadow also houses Victoria Memorial, Eden Gardens, and several sporting clubs. Kolkatans simply love to stroll in the Maidan. In an effort to relieve congestion in the main city, many government offices have shifted to high-rise office buildings lining Salt Lake City's Central Park. The residential buildings are mainly low-rise and comprise of older colonial buildings and numerous new four-storied apartment blocks. 10- to 12-storey apartment blocks have come up in large numbers in South Kolkata. The city has relaxed its rules on high-rise construction and 20-storey buildings are becoming more common. The tallest residential towers of eastern India, the four 35-storey towers of South City, are on Prince Anwar Shah Road. Heavy construction activity along the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass is changing the face of the city. Luxury hotels, a convention centre, speciality hospitals, condominium complexes, malls and multiplexes are coming up at a rapid pace. The city's expansion in the eastern side is spearheaded by the construction of a new satellite township called New Town adjacent to the well planned Salt Lake City. It is one of the largest planned urban developments in India. The neglected western side of the urban agglomeration has got a boost with the signing of an agreement with Ciputra, an Indonesian company to build the Kolkata West International City (KWIC). Another huge new township is in the proposal state in [[Dankuni]]. Slums and dilapidated structures exist in many pockets of the city proper and house over 25% of the city's population (2001 census). Slum redevelopment schemes have helped improve living conditions by a small extent but there is huge scope for improvement in this area. Efforts to shift slum dwellers to newer developments have often met with resistance and failure because many of the slums are in prime areas of the city and the slum dwellers who are integrated in the social structure of the neighbourhood do not want to shift. Many roads in Kolkata have two names in use: the old colonial name that is still commonly used by locals, and the official post-independence new name that you will see in maps and on road signs. ===Climate=== {{Climate| units = Metric | janhigh =24.6 | febhigh =29.7 | marhigh =34.0 | aprhigh =36.3 | mayhigh =36.0 | junhigh =34.1 | julhigh =32.2 | aughigh =32.0 | sephigh =32.2 | octhigh =31.9 | novhigh =29.8 | dechigh =27.0 | janlow =13.4 | feblow =16.9 | marlow =21.7 | aprlow =25.1 | maylow =26.4 | junlow =26.5 | jullow =26.1 | auglow =26.1 | seplow =25.8 | octlow =24.0 | novlow =19.6 | declow =14.5 | janprecip =16.9 | febprecip =22.9 | marprecip =32.8 | aprprecip =47.7 | mayprecip =101.7 | junprecip =259.9 | julprecip =331.8 | augprecip =328.8 | sepprecip =295.9 | octprecip =151.3 | novprecip =26 | decprecip =17.2 | description =Source: [http://www.imd.gov.in/section/climate/kolkata1.htm IMD] }} [[File:Nalban - Kolkata 2011-09-14 5167.JPG|thumb|Monsoon clouds over Kolkata.]] Kolkata has three main seasons: summer, monsoon, and winter.

The most common way is the regular comfortable a/c buses from [[Dhaka]] to Kolkata via the [[Haridaspur]] / [[Benapole]] border post. Private bus companies '''[http://www.shohagh.com/group/ Shohagh]''', '''[http://www.greenlineparibahan.com/ Green Line]''','''[http://shyamolibusservice.com/ Shyamoli]''' and others operate daily bus services on this route. Govt. buses run under the label of the state govt. undertaken West Bengal Transport Corporation (WBTC) and the '''[http://www.brtc.gov.bd/ Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation]''' (BRTC). WBTC and BRTC operate buses from Kolkata every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 5:30AM and 8:30AM, and 12:30PM while from Dhaka they leave on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7AM and 7:30AM. The normal journey time is around 12 hr with a one-way fare of 550 or 600-800 [[Bangladesh#Money|Bangladeshi taka]]s. If you're only headed to [[Haridaspur]] the fare is ₹86 (2½ hours). The '''Shyamoli Paribahan''' ticket office is at 6/1 Marquis St (''parallel to and one block south of Sudder Street, and just west of Mirza Ghalib St, next door to DHL''), 2252 0693. Several travel agencies around this area also sell tickets for these buses, but at very inflated prices. At the border, it's best to change money on the Indian side, but count it carefully and double-check the maths on their calculator. On the Bangladesh side there are some bus stands just behind the border, or you can catch a flat-bed cycle-rickshaw for 5 Bangladeshi takas for the 2-km trip to the bus stand for onward travel, or you can walk, but expect the hopeful rickshaw-wallahs to follow you at least half way. '''From Eastern India via Bangladesh'''. Bus travel to some points in Eastern India is faster via Bangladesh (visas will be required for entry into Bangladesh as well as for re-entry into India). If you're heading to points in Eastern India (Tripura for example) beyond Bangladesh, then there is a regular bus service between [[Dhaka]] and [[Agartala]], the capital of India's [[Tripura]] state. Two BRTC buses leave daily from Dhaka and connect with the Tripura Road Transport Corporation vehicles, running six days a week with a roundtrip fare of 600 Bangladeshi takas. There is only one halt at '''Ashuganj''' in Bangladesh during the journey. Call {{phone|+880 2 8360241}} for schedule. Other entry points to North-Eastern India through Bangladesh are '''Hili''', Chilahati / '''Haldibari''' and '''Banglaband''' border posts through Northern Bangladesh and '''Tamabil/Dawki''' border post for a route between [[Shillong]] ([[Meghalaya]]) and [[Sylhet]] in North-Eastern Bangladesh, and some others with lesser-known routes from north-eastern Indian regions. Although scheduled bus services to Shillong from Kolkata through Dhaka may not be available, you can get to those points via land routes going through Sylhet and then on to Tamabil/Dawki border outposts. Enquire at the Bus Service Counters for details. * {{go | name=Esplanade Bus Terminus | alt= | url= | email= | address=Rashmoni Avenue | lat=22.56360 | long=88.3498 | directions=Next to Esplanade metro station | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | image=Esplanade Bus Station.jpg | lastedit=2018-11-17 | content= }} ==Get around== {{Mapframe|height=600}} {{mapshape|wikidata=Q4863174,Q4863170,Q7560812,Q7709441,Q4985012}} {{Mapshape|type=geoline|wikidata=Q1348}} {{mapshapes|Q1048849}} ===By taxi=== [[File:India - Kolkata rainy street - 3819.jpg|thumb|right|Kolkata's yellow Ambassador taxis]] Kolkata just wouldn't look the same without the plethora of yellow Ambassador taxis that ply on its roads. They're easily available, relatively cheap, and will use their meters, at least in theory. However, Kolkata taxis sometimes refuse to go to some distant remote locations (like Behala, Bansdroni, Howrah) where they wouldn't get any passenger while returning. If they agree, they will demand high pay; be ready for such a situation. New taxis have been introduced, which are called "No Refusal Taxis", but sadly, these taxis are also no different. Some of the new taxis are air-conditioned; usually, these will also have a "Same Fare" sign on them. There is a 25% extra charge if you want the air-conditioner to be turned on in such taxis. In Kolkata, it is a crime for taxis to refuse a request to go to certain destinations, and they can be fined, but if you threaten the driver with a complaint to the police, they will simply ask you to complain. Cars by app-based services such as Uber and Ola are easily available (round-the-clock), reasonably priced, comfortable and have been embraced by citizens. ===By metro=== [[File:Kolkata Metro.jpg|thumb|The Kolkata Metro is the oldest metro system in India.]] Kolkata's [http://www.kmrc.in/ '''Metro Rail'''] is the oldest underground and elevated railway system in India. It is the fastest, cleanest, most reliable, least crowded (though still rather crowded) and most efficient of all the transportation Kolkata has to offer. Trains run every 6-15 min. They run from 7AM-9:45PM from Monday to Saturday and 10AM-9:45PM. on Sunday. Line 1 connects the North and South of the city, from Dakshineswar to New Garia. Line 2 connects the city from Salt Lake Sector-V to Sealdah. New Tourist Smart Cards shall be introduced, Card-I. valid for one day unlimited ride, Card-II. for three days. For more about these, read the '''[http://www.mtp.indianrailways.gov.in/viewsection_opennew2.jsp?lang=0&id=0,2,396 conditions here].''' ===By tram=== Kolkata has the only tram service in all of India and the oldest surviving electric tram network in Asia. Though decommissioned in some parts of the city, electric trams are still one of the means of travelling between a few places within the city. Operated by WBTC since 2016, they move slowly on the laid tracks in traffic-jammed streets, but they are environment-friendly (no emissions on the street, only at the source of energy generation). The network includes '''[http://wbtc.co.in/ 25 Tram Routes]''' ===By train=== The electrified suburban rail network of SER and ER is extensive and includes the Circular Rail. Depending on the route, 'local' trains can be extremely crowded. It is less expensive to travel around by train as compared to private cabs or taxis. Men are advised not to sit in the ‘Ladies’ compartment. ===By bus=== The city has an extensive bus network (possibly the most exhaustive in the whole of India) and this is the cheapest, though not always the most comfortable means of transport. The routes are written all over the colourful buses in Bengali and also in English. The conductors call out their destinations to everyone he's passing and all you have to do is wave at the bus anywhere and it will stop, at times causing a small queue of other cars behind it. Esplanade is a major bus terminus in Kolkata. Karunamoyee in Salt Lake City is another major bus depot. Some buses operate from the Babughat area in Kolkata as well. Among the buses that ply the city streets, the deluxe buses run by JNNURM (Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission) and WBTC (West Bengal Transport Corporation) are probably the better option. Air-conditioned buses (Volvo) are also available to many destinations. ===By auto-rickshaw=== In Kolkata, there are shared auto-rickshaws, i.e. the auto-rickshaws don't ferry just a single person but four person at a time. The fare is not set by meters, as fares are fixed by the auto-rickshaw associations. Auto-rickshaws have a fixed route and a vehicle of that route travel in that particular route only. However unlike taxis, they don't refuse passengers. The fare of an auto-rickshaw is much less than that of a taxi (for example, ₹7-10). Be prepared to give the exact fare as they are very reluctant to give change. ===By rickshaw=== [[File:Manpowered rickshaw.JPG|thumb|A human-pulled rickshaw]] There are two types of rickshaws in Kolkata: human pulled rickshaws and cycle-rickshaws. However human-pulled rickshaws are confined to the Gariahat and Ballygunge region and take more fare than cycle-rickshaws. The cycle-rickshaw is the most convenient mean of transport in Kolkata. It is very cheap and can accommodate two adults. The fare is not determined by meter by the respective rickshaw association. Unlike auto-rickshaws, they go to any place in a particular region. However, after 10PM rickshaw drivers may demand an exorbitant fees, and the same goes for times during natural calamities such as heavy rainfall. ===By ferry=== The river offers a less crowded but slow traffic medium. There are several points (popularly called Ghats and jetties) on the bank of the river from where you can board several regular routes of ferry services. Ferries can be fairly large launches to small improvised motorized boats. Even if you don't get any exotic manual boat like you get in [[Varanasi]], the river transport of the city lets you go to several old spots near the bank in a hassle-free manner with an additional dash of the view of decadent river front of the city. ===By rental car=== Privately owned rental car places are available throughout the city. Rates depend on the make, model, size and comfort level of the car. Agreements are flexible, for example, cars can be rented even for couple of hours at an hourly rate. Most rental cars are accompanied with a driver from the rental agency. ===By foot=== Except in [[Kolkata/Maidan|Maidan]] and newly developed areas, much of Kolkata is not so pedestrian-friendly. In the more tourist oriented areas, you'll be constantly accosted by beggars and touts. Crossing roads often involves wading across multiple lanes of heavy traffic. Try your best to move in a predictable straight line, so vehicles can weave around you. Better yet, latch onto a group of locals and cross in their shadow. If you really want to walk around, these places would be good: * Walk along the Hooghly River. There is a good promenade near the Eden Gardens. * Walk along the Chowringhee Road, which sets the pace as you unravel the rare beauty of this city. Across the road sweeps a huge, lush green, open parkland called the '''[[Kolkata/Maidan|Maidan]]''', centering around '''Fort William''', the massive and impregnable British Citadel built in 1773. A rambling green ‘lung of Kolkata’, the area is a hub of diverse activities. ==Talk== Being in [[West Bengal]], the native language of the people of Kolkata is '''[[Bengali phrasebook|Bengali]]'''. However, most locals also speak English and some [[Hindi phrasebook|Hindi]]. Many shopkeepers and taxi drivers are able to communicate in broken English, and government offices will typically have English-speaking staff on duty. Although it is generally not a problem getting by with English, learning some Bengali will make your trip much smoother. == See == [[File:Indian Museum, Courtyard, Kolkata, India.jpg|thumb|Built in 1814, the Indian Museum is one of the oldest museums in India]] [[File:Kolkatatemple.jpg|thumb|Dakshineswar Kali Temple]] [[File:Science_City_Kolkata_4643.JPG|thumb|Science City]] Kolkata is known for its numerous attractions — palaces, parks and museums — built during and after the 190 years of [[British Raj|British rule in India]]. The most notable sites are the '''Victoria Memorial''' (a memorial hall dedicated to the memory of Queen Victoria), the '''Howrah Bridge''' (a cantilever bridge opened in 1943), '''Dakshineswar Kali Temple''' (a Hindu temple associated with Sri Ramakrishna), '''Science City''' (a massive science museum in [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]]) and the '''Indian Museum''' (one of the oldest museums in India). Detailed listings of all sights in Kolkata can be found in the district articles. ==Do== Take a '''tram ride''' in Kolkata. The city has the only active tram service in India and has become an icon of Kolkata. They move slow on the laid tracks in traffic-jammed streets. Several modern '''cinemas''' are dotted around the city, including [http://www.inoxmovies.com/ INOX] with several locations, [http://www.famecinemas.com/ Fame] at Metropolis Mall in Highland Park, and [http://www.adlabscinemas.com/ RDB Adlabs] at RDB Boulevard, Near Infinity Building in Salt Lake Sector-V, all showing Indian and American blockbusters. Unlike most of cricket-obsessed India, '''[[Association football|football (soccer)]]''' reigns supreme in Kolkata, with the local clubs [http://www.mohunbaganac.com Mohun Bagan Athletic Club] and [http://www.eastbengalfootballclub.com East Bengal Club] being the most successful in India. They contest the Kolkata Derby biannually, which is considered by many to be the oldest and most intense football rivalry in all of Asia. ===Events=== '''[http://www.iplt20.com/ Indian Premier League]''' (IPL) is the main club [[cricket]] league in India. It is one of the world's most widely attended sporting events, and if you are in Kolkata during the season (April–May), consider watching the home team (Kolkata Knight Riders) play at Eden Gardens. '''[http://www.kolkatabookfaironline.com Kolkata Book Fair]''' takes place from the last week of January to the first week of February. It is the largest book fair in Asia and is a significant event in the city. '''Durga Puja''', a festival honouring the Hindu goddess Durga, takes place in October. The biggest festival for Hindus in Bengal and Eastern India, Kolkata takes on an almost carnival-like ambience. Streets shut down for the construction of ''pandals'', large stands that depict events from the Ramayana and crowds flock to the biggest and best ones. Durga Puja in Kolkata has been listed as a [[UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage]] in 2022. A good time to visit, unless you have a fear of crowds. ==Learn== Kolkata is a key centre of learning in India. The most famous universities and colleges in Kolkata are the '''Medical College and Hospital''', '''Jadavpur University''', the '''University of Calcutta''', the '''Presidency University''' and '''Indian Institute of Management Calcutta'''. Apart from undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral courses, there are several training and diploma-level institutes and polytechnics that cater to the growing demand for skill-based and vocational education. ==Work== '''Volunteering''' is a real option here with several opportunities. * '''Brother Xavier's New Hope'''. Home for orphans of Kolkata's red light district. A much smaller mission than Mother Teresa's which one man built from the ground up. Brother Xavier and the children always need volunteers and funds. * '''Mother Teresa's Mission''' accepts volunteers to help in its multiple projects around the city. Enquire at the motherhouse. ==Buy== Traditionally Kolkata had certain shopping areas or districts. The New Market area was considered the core of fashionable marketing. That was the marketplace for the British and later patronised by the more sophisticated Indians. There were large markets in Burrabazar, Hatibagan-Shyambazar, Gariahat and Bhowanipore. There were several specialised markets: electrical goods at Chandni Chowk, jewellery at Bowbazar, books at College Street, fish at Maniktala, flowers at Jagannath Ghat, the Maidan market for sports goods and so on. The malls are a more recent addition. The South City Mall, one of the biggest in the city, is in its [[Kolkata/Southern fringes|southern fringes]]. The Quest Mall is another large shopping mall at Park Circus, an old neighbourhood in [[Kolkata/South|South Kolkata]].There are large number of malls in [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]] and new malls are being added. '''See district articles for specific listings.''' ==Eat== [[File:Rasgulla - Kolkata 2011-08-02 4547.JPG|thumb|''Roshogolla,'' sweet dumplings made out of ''Chenna'' (Indian cottage cheese) and semolina dough.]] Kolkata has old traditions about eating out. Wilson's Hotel (which later became the Great Eastern Hotel) is credited to have been the first western-style hotel/restaurant in Kolkata, serving what was then forbidden food for Indians, particularly Hindus. One could be treated as an out-caste if caught eating there, but the idea caught on and others followed. Many of the restaurants that line the streets in the Esplanade area have been around for more than a hundred years. The joy of food in Kolkata is in its Indian foods. Nizam's (at 23-24 Hogg Street), close to New Market, is credited with the invention of the famous Kati Kebab roll and still serves up the best of the best. For Mughlai dishes, there are several places to eat in the [[Kolkata/South|Park Circus]] area and there are others all over the city. Besides Bengali foods, Kolkata is also the home of Indian Chinese food. Chinese restaurants are everywhere so try the Indian variant of hot and sour soup and the famous Indian Chinese dish of chilli chicken. The best place to have Chinese is to visit Chinatown near Tangra, [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]]. It serves the best of the Chinese dishes and you will find plenty of large, small & medium restaurants. There are some restaurants serving Thai, Mediterranean or Italian food. Kolkata also has many excellent vegetarian restaurants ranging from budget to expensive ones. There are two types: those serving North Indian and those serving South Indian food. For those looking for vegetarian street foods, one can find ubiquitous ''jhal muri'' (somewhat similar to ''bhel puri'' of [[Mumbai]]) a concoction of puffed rice mixed with various spices, vegetables & other ingredients available at street vendors all over Kolkata. Street vendors selling egg rolls/chicken rolls abound and their freshly prepared kati rolls are safe to eat. Mughlai Paratha (earlier it was a paratha stuffed with minced meat, but now the minced meat has been replaced by cheaper but tasty alternatives) is a Kolkata speciality. ''Fuchka'', the Kolkata version of paani-puri, but very different from the ones found in Delhi, is available on the streets but be wary of the tamarind water. It never troubles the local people and outsiders can safely taste this delicacy as long as they don't take too much. Earlier, the restaurants were standalone entities. A cluster of restaurants in a single mall is a comparatively new idea and has become popular. (See district pages for restaurant listings.) ==Drink== {{movetodistrict}} There are plenty of places to buy alcohol around the city. Kolkata has many pubs and bars, which are frequented by youngsters as well as its older residents. Some pubs have live concerts or DJs. They include: *Someplace Else (The Park) * Roxy (The Park) * Aqua (The Park) * The Myx (Park Street) * Olypub (Park Street), famous for the beer and the beef steak * Mocha (AJC Bose Road) * Underground (HHI, AJC Bose Road) * Nocturne (Theatre Road) * Shisha Bar Stock Exchange, The Factory Outlet (22 Camac Street) * Chili's (Quest Mall, South City Mall, Acropolis Mall Kasba) * Cafe Mezzuna (Forum Mall Elgin Road, South City Mall) * Hoppipola (Acropolis Mall) * Afraa Lounge (City Centre Salt Lake) * Fairlawns (Sudder Street) * Big Ben (The Kenilworth, Little Russel Street) All pubs are supposed to shut shop by midnight or 1AM. So go early if you want to enjoy yourself in the club. ==Sleep== Kolkata has long had a concentration of budget backpacker hotels in the [[Kolkata/Esplanade#Sleep|Sudder Street]] area and many of these are colonial era gems, albeit decaying ones. Sudder Street is centrally located and is well connected by public transport. Both the major railway stations at [[Howrah]] and [[Kolkata/North#Sleep|Sealdah]] have many hotels around them. Most of them might be only licensed to accommodate Indian citizens. Be sure to not walk with a local "friend" or guide, unless you want to have higher prices. There are some hotels in [[Kolkata/South#Sleep|Gariahat]]. The growth of the IT Sector and hospital facilities in [[Kolkata/East#Sleep|East Kolkata]] has led to development of hotels in that area. British-era clubs such as Tollygunge Club, Calcutta Club (AJC Bose Rd), Saturday Club (Theatre Rd), and Bengal Club (Russel St) have lavish rooms for rent. However, they only accept bookings through members. (See district pages for hotel listings.) ==Stay safe== {{cautionbox | Recently, several roads and streets in Kolkata become one-way, permanently or temporarily, generally without notice. Unless you know when the streets in Kolkata become one-way, avoid using your car to drive in the city. Otherwise, you might face a hefty fine from traffic police. | lastedit=2022-08-05 }} [[File:India - Kolkata street beggar - 3246.jpg|thumb|A beggar in Kolkata]] Kolkata is one of the safest metropolitan areas in India, and the people are friendly and helpful, unlike in most of India's other large cities. One noted problem is the drug dealers around Sudder Street. However, as the dealers obviously do not want to draw undue attention to their activity, they are not persistent and rarely a threat. There have been rare incidents of chain, bag and mobile snatching in railway stations and empty roads. Visitors outside the city are often magnets for [[begging|beggars]], frauds and touts. In [[Kolkata/South|South Kolkata]], beggars often knock at the glass windows of cars. It does little good to get angry or to say "No" loudly. The best response is to look unconcerned and ignore the behaviour. The more attention you pay to a beggar or a tout, positive or negative, the longer they will follow you hoping for a donation. ===Kolkata Police=== The [http://www.kolkatapolice.gov.in/ Kolkata Police] is a police force serving the city.

It is the largest city in Eastern India. Kolkata is an 'in your face' city that shocks and charms the unsuspecting visitor. Long known as the cultural capital of India and home to the so-called Bengal Renaissance, 'The City of Joy' (the sobriquet became more famous after the publication of a novel of the same name) continues to spawn generations of poets, writers, film directors and Nobel Prize winners. If your trip only allows for a visit of one or two of India's metropolitan cities, then definitely consider placing Kolkata on your itinerary. Kolkata is arguably one of the most socially, culturally and politically progressive cities in India. Love it or hate it, you definitely won't forget the 'City of Joy'. ==Districts== {{Regionlist | regionmap=Kolkata Wikivoyage map PNG.png | regionmaptext=Districts of Kolkata | regionmapsize=300px | region1name=[[Kolkata/Esplanade|Esplanade]] | region1color=#4f93c0 | region1description=The colonial district is still the central business and administrative area and is considered the heart of Kolkata.

Job Charnock was widely known as the founder of Calcutta. There were 3 villages named Sutanuti, Gobindapur and Kalikata. Later the village Kalikata became the city Kolkata. But some Indian historians have disputed this claim, arguing that Kolkata developed naturally over a period, centred on the ancient Kali temple at Kalighat and the port at Kidderpore. Whatever its origins, Kolkata flowered as the capital of British India during the 19th century, the heyday of the Raj. The University of Calcutta, the first modern Indian university was founded here in 1857. Kolkata became the centre of Indian arts and literature, and the national movement for independence got its start here. However, with the transfer of the capital to Delhi in 1911, the pains of the partition of Bengal in 1947, a violent repressive and feudal state machinery operational for nearly the first two decades after independence, the ideologically motivated Maoist movement (the Naxalbari movement) in the 1970s, followed by the Marxist rule has shaped the city to its present form. ===Modern Kolkata=== Kolkata has become the main business, commercial and financial hub of eastern India. The city's economic fortunes grew as the economic liberalisation in India during the early 1990s reached Kolkata during late 1990s. Kolkata is a multicultural and cosmopolitan city, with diversity from all over India as well as Europeans (including Germans, Armenians, and others) and other Asians (including Chinese, Sinhalese, and Tibetans). Kolkata is also notable for being home to India's largest Chinatown, which continues to be home to many ethnic Chinese residents whose families have lived in India for several generations. In 1977, a "Left Front" coalition of the Communist and Marxist parties came to power and ruled the state for 34 years. This is reflected in street names and memorials in the city with names like Lenin Sarani and Ho Chi Minh Sarani. During this period, the various egalitarian approaches implemented at improving the living standards of the down-trodden has helped the city in bridging the wealth-gap and decreasing impoverishment. ===Economy=== [[File:Camac Street 'G K Tower'.jpg|thumb|GK Tower located in Camac Street]] [[File:SC Mall (1).JPG|thumb|The South City Mall in Jadavpur, is one of the largest shopping malls in Kolkata]] Kolkata is fast developing into a modern infotech city with various private sector companies setting up shops here. The landscape of the city is also fast changing with flyovers, gardens and several new commercial establishments. Kolkata city has expanded into its suburbs, with [[Greater Kolkata]] stretching from [[Kalyani]] (in Nadia district) in north to [[Jaynagar Majilpur]] in south (in South 24 Parganas district). The city's fortunes have looked up since the early 1990s, coinciding with the liberalisation of the Indian economy. Its economy has been amongst the fastest growing in the country. The New Metro city is characterised by popular spots such as multiplexes, theatres, clubs, pubs, coffee shops, and museums. Kolkata is home to many industrial units, of large Indian corporations, whose product range is varied and includes engineering products, electronics, electrical equipment, cables, steel, leather, textiles, jewellery, frigates, automobiles, railway coaches and wagons. Several industrial estates like Taratala, Uluberia, Dankuni, Kasba, and Howrah are spread throughout the urban agglomeration. A huge leather complex has come up at Bantala. An export processing zone has been set up in Falta. Specialised setups like the country's first Toy Park, and a Gem and Jewellery Park have also been established. Kolkata is also starting to become a major hub for the IT (Information Technology) industry. With the formation of New Town and extension of Salt Lake's Sector-V, Kolkata is rapidly turning into a pro-IT city. ===Film industry=== Kolkata is also famous for the film industry around Tollygunge, known as "Tollywood" (a blend of Tollygunge and Hollywood). From a beginning in the silent era in 1919 to the talking era in the 1930s and the golden days of the 1950s to the 70s has been a chequered history. It has seen renowned filmmakers like Satyajit Ray, Bimal Roy, Ritwik Ghatak and Mrinal Sen. ===Geography=== [[File:Eastern High - Rajarhat 2012-04-11 9384.JPG|thumb|Apartment buildings in New Town, Kolkata]] Kolkata is in the eastern part of India and is spread along the eastern banks of the Hooghly River. The city of Kolkata is ''huge'', stretching from the industrial suburbs in the north to the mushrooming area in the south, a distance of almost {{km|70}}. The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has an area of {{km2|185}}. The city can be roughly divided into two sections along Mother Teresa Sarani (which was known during the British rule as Park Street). North of Park Street is the more congested part of the city. South of Park Street is the slightly better planned section of the city. South Kolkata is better planned with wider roads and better equipped police force for keeping law & order. The better planning in South Kolkata is because it was built much later. The North is the real, old Kolkata and most of the oldest families and buildings are situated there. Over the past several years the city has expanded to the south and the east. The old Central Business District (CBD) is where the seat of the Government of West Bengal is located, along with many other government offices. Several banks have their corporate or regional headquarters around the B. B. D. Bagh area (named after the revolutionaries Benoy Basu, Badal Gupta and Dinesh Gupta who forced entry into the Writers' Building, the epicentre of the British Raj government in Bengal). Many of Kolkata's older business groups have their main offices here. The area is a mix of multi-storeyed office blocks and colonial buildings. The newer CBD is around the south of Park Street, Camac Street and Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Road. Several high-rise office blocks including some of Kolkata's tallest commercial buildings, like the Chatterjee International Centre, Tata Centre, Everest House, Industry House, CGO Building, are located here. An even-newer CBD is now being set up in the Rajarhat-New Town area, lying between Bidhannagar (Salt Lake) and the Airport. Maidan (meaning open field) is between the river Hooghly and J. L. Nehru Road (or Chowringhee Road). It is said to be the lungs of Kolkata. The lush green meadow also houses Victoria Memorial, Eden Gardens, and several sporting clubs. Kolkatans simply love to stroll in the Maidan. In an effort to relieve congestion in the main city, many government offices have shifted to high-rise office buildings lining Salt Lake City's Central Park. The residential buildings are mainly low-rise and comprise of older colonial buildings and numerous new four-storied apartment blocks. 10- to 12-storey apartment blocks have come up in large numbers in South Kolkata. The city has relaxed its rules on high-rise construction and 20-storey buildings are becoming more common. The tallest residential towers of eastern India, the four 35-storey towers of South City, are on Prince Anwar Shah Road. Heavy construction activity along the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass is changing the face of the city. Luxury hotels, a convention centre, speciality hospitals, condominium complexes, malls and multiplexes are coming up at a rapid pace. The city's expansion in the eastern side is spearheaded by the construction of a new satellite township called New Town adjacent to the well planned Salt Lake City. It is one of the largest planned urban developments in India. The neglected western side of the urban agglomeration has got a boost with the signing of an agreement with Ciputra, an Indonesian company to build the Kolkata West International City (KWIC). Another huge new township is in the proposal state in [[Dankuni]]. Slums and dilapidated structures exist in many pockets of the city proper and house over 25% of the city's population (2001 census). Slum redevelopment schemes have helped improve living conditions by a small extent but there is huge scope for improvement in this area. Efforts to shift slum dwellers to newer developments have often met with resistance and failure because many of the slums are in prime areas of the city and the slum dwellers who are integrated in the social structure of the neighbourhood do not want to shift. Many roads in Kolkata have two names in use: the old colonial name that is still commonly used by locals, and the official post-independence new name that you will see in maps and on road signs. ===Climate=== {{Climate| units = Metric | janhigh =24.6 | febhigh =29.7 | marhigh =34.0 | aprhigh =36.3 | mayhigh =36.0 | junhigh =34.1 | julhigh =32.2 | aughigh =32.0 | sephigh =32.2 | octhigh =31.9 | novhigh =29.8 | dechigh =27.0 | janlow =13.4 | feblow =16.9 | marlow =21.7 | aprlow =25.1 | maylow =26.4 | junlow =26.5 | jullow =26.1 | auglow =26.1 | seplow =25.8 | octlow =24.0 | novlow =19.6 | declow =14.5 | janprecip =16.9 | febprecip =22.9 | marprecip =32.8 | aprprecip =47.7 | mayprecip =101.7 | junprecip =259.9 | julprecip =331.8 | augprecip =328.8 | sepprecip =295.9 | octprecip =151.3 | novprecip =26 | decprecip =17.2 | description =Source: [http://www.imd.gov.in/section/climate/kolkata1.htm IMD] }} [[File:Nalban - Kolkata 2011-09-14 5167.JPG|thumb|Monsoon clouds over Kolkata.]] Kolkata has three main seasons: summer, monsoon, and winter.

The most common way is the regular comfortable a/c buses from [[Dhaka]] to Kolkata via the [[Haridaspur]] / [[Benapole]] border post. Private bus companies '''[http://www.shohagh.com/group/ Shohagh]''', '''[http://www.greenlineparibahan.com/ Green Line]''','''[http://shyamolibusservice.com/ Shyamoli]''' and others operate daily bus services on this route. Govt. buses run under the label of the state govt. undertaken West Bengal Transport Corporation (WBTC) and the '''[http://www.brtc.gov.bd/ Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation]''' (BRTC). WBTC and BRTC operate buses from Kolkata every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 5:30AM and 8:30AM, and 12:30PM while from Dhaka they leave on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7AM and 7:30AM. The normal journey time is around 12 hr with a one-way fare of 550 or 600-800 [[Bangladesh#Money|Bangladeshi taka]]s. If you're only headed to [[Haridaspur]] the fare is ₹86 (2½ hours). The '''Shyamoli Paribahan''' ticket office is at 6/1 Marquis St (''parallel to and one block south of Sudder Street, and just west of Mirza Ghalib St, next door to DHL''), 2252 0693. Several travel agencies around this area also sell tickets for these buses, but at very inflated prices. At the border, it's best to change money on the Indian side, but count it carefully and double-check the maths on their calculator. On the Bangladesh side there are some bus stands just behind the border, or you can catch a flat-bed cycle-rickshaw for 5 Bangladeshi takas for the 2-km trip to the bus stand for onward travel, or you can walk, but expect the hopeful rickshaw-wallahs to follow you at least half way. '''From Eastern India via Bangladesh'''. Bus travel to some points in Eastern India is faster via Bangladesh (visas will be required for entry into Bangladesh as well as for re-entry into India). If you're heading to points in Eastern India (Tripura for example) beyond Bangladesh, then there is a regular bus service between [[Dhaka]] and [[Agartala]], the capital of India's [[Tripura]] state. Two BRTC buses leave daily from Dhaka and connect with the Tripura Road Transport Corporation vehicles, running six days a week with a roundtrip fare of 600 Bangladeshi takas. There is only one halt at '''Ashuganj''' in Bangladesh during the journey. Call {{phone|+880 2 8360241}} for schedule. Other entry points to North-Eastern India through Bangladesh are '''Hili''', Chilahati / '''Haldibari''' and '''Banglaband''' border posts through Northern Bangladesh and '''Tamabil/Dawki''' border post for a route between [[Shillong]] ([[Meghalaya]]) and [[Sylhet]] in North-Eastern Bangladesh, and some others with lesser-known routes from north-eastern Indian regions. Although scheduled bus services to Shillong from Kolkata through Dhaka may not be available, you can get to those points via land routes going through Sylhet and then on to Tamabil/Dawki border outposts. Enquire at the Bus Service Counters for details. * {{go | name=Esplanade Bus Terminus | alt= | url= | email= | address=Rashmoni Avenue | lat=22.56360 | long=88.3498 | directions=Next to Esplanade metro station | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | image=Esplanade Bus Station.jpg | lastedit=2018-11-17 | content= }} ==Get around== {{Mapframe|height=600}} {{mapshape|wikidata=Q4863174,Q4863170,Q7560812,Q7709441,Q4985012}} {{Mapshape|type=geoline|wikidata=Q1348}} {{mapshapes|Q1048849}} ===By taxi=== [[File:India - Kolkata rainy street - 3819.jpg|thumb|right|Kolkata's yellow Ambassador taxis]] Kolkata just wouldn't look the same without the plethora of yellow Ambassador taxis that ply on its roads. They're easily available, relatively cheap, and will use their meters, at least in theory. However, Kolkata taxis sometimes refuse to go to some distant remote locations (like Behala, Bansdroni, Howrah) where they wouldn't get any passenger while returning. If they agree, they will demand high pay; be ready for such a situation. New taxis have been introduced, which are called "No Refusal Taxis", but sadly, these taxis are also no different. Some of the new taxis are air-conditioned; usually, these will also have a "Same Fare" sign on them. There is a 25% extra charge if you want the air-conditioner to be turned on in such taxis. In Kolkata, it is a crime for taxis to refuse a request to go to certain destinations, and they can be fined, but if you threaten the driver with a complaint to the police, they will simply ask you to complain. Cars by app-based services such as Uber and Ola are easily available (round-the-clock), reasonably priced, comfortable and have been embraced by citizens. ===By metro=== [[File:Kolkata Metro.jpg|thumb|The Kolkata Metro is the oldest metro system in India.]] Kolkata's [http://www.kmrc.in/ '''Metro Rail'''] is the oldest underground and elevated railway system in India. It is the fastest, cleanest, most reliable, least crowded (though still rather crowded) and most efficient of all the transportation Kolkata has to offer. Trains run every 6-15 min. They run from 7AM-9:45PM from Monday to Saturday and 10AM-9:45PM. on Sunday. Line 1 connects the North and South of the city, from Dakshineswar to New Garia. Line 2 connects the city from Salt Lake Sector-V to Sealdah. New Tourist Smart Cards shall be introduced, Card-I. valid for one day unlimited ride, Card-II. for three days. For more about these, read the '''[http://www.mtp.indianrailways.gov.in/viewsection_opennew2.jsp?lang=0&id=0,2,396 conditions here].''' ===By tram=== Kolkata has the only tram service in all of India and the oldest surviving electric tram network in Asia. Though decommissioned in some parts of the city, electric trams are still one of the means of travelling between a few places within the city. Operated by WBTC since 2016, they move slowly on the laid tracks in traffic-jammed streets, but they are environment-friendly (no emissions on the street, only at the source of energy generation). The network includes '''[http://wbtc.co.in/ 25 Tram Routes]''' ===By train=== The electrified suburban rail network of SER and ER is extensive and includes the Circular Rail. Depending on the route, 'local' trains can be extremely crowded. It is less expensive to travel around by train as compared to private cabs or taxis. Men are advised not to sit in the ‘Ladies’ compartment. ===By bus=== The city has an extensive bus network (possibly the most exhaustive in the whole of India) and this is the cheapest, though not always the most comfortable means of transport. The routes are written all over the colourful buses in Bengali and also in English. The conductors call out their destinations to everyone he's passing and all you have to do is wave at the bus anywhere and it will stop, at times causing a small queue of other cars behind it. Esplanade is a major bus terminus in Kolkata. Karunamoyee in Salt Lake City is another major bus depot. Some buses operate from the Babughat area in Kolkata as well. Among the buses that ply the city streets, the deluxe buses run by JNNURM (Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission) and WBTC (West Bengal Transport Corporation) are probably the better option. Air-conditioned buses (Volvo) are also available to many destinations. ===By auto-rickshaw=== In Kolkata, there are shared auto-rickshaws, i.e. the auto-rickshaws don't ferry just a single person but four person at a time. The fare is not set by meters, as fares are fixed by the auto-rickshaw associations. Auto-rickshaws have a fixed route and a vehicle of that route travel in that particular route only. However unlike taxis, they don't refuse passengers. The fare of an auto-rickshaw is much less than that of a taxi (for example, ₹7-10). Be prepared to give the exact fare as they are very reluctant to give change. ===By rickshaw=== [[File:Manpowered rickshaw.JPG|thumb|A human-pulled rickshaw]] There are two types of rickshaws in Kolkata: human pulled rickshaws and cycle-rickshaws. However human-pulled rickshaws are confined to the Gariahat and Ballygunge region and take more fare than cycle-rickshaws. The cycle-rickshaw is the most convenient mean of transport in Kolkata. It is very cheap and can accommodate two adults. The fare is not determined by meter by the respective rickshaw association. Unlike auto-rickshaws, they go to any place in a particular region. However, after 10PM rickshaw drivers may demand an exorbitant fees, and the same goes for times during natural calamities such as heavy rainfall. ===By ferry=== The river offers a less crowded but slow traffic medium. There are several points (popularly called Ghats and jetties) on the bank of the river from where you can board several regular routes of ferry services. Ferries can be fairly large launches to small improvised motorized boats. Even if you don't get any exotic manual boat like you get in [[Varanasi]], the river transport of the city lets you go to several old spots near the bank in a hassle-free manner with an additional dash of the view of decadent river front of the city. ===By rental car=== Privately owned rental car places are available throughout the city. Rates depend on the make, model, size and comfort level of the car. Agreements are flexible, for example, cars can be rented even for couple of hours at an hourly rate. Most rental cars are accompanied with a driver from the rental agency. ===By foot=== Except in [[Kolkata/Maidan|Maidan]] and newly developed areas, much of Kolkata is not so pedestrian-friendly. In the more tourist oriented areas, you'll be constantly accosted by beggars and touts. Crossing roads often involves wading across multiple lanes of heavy traffic. Try your best to move in a predictable straight line, so vehicles can weave around you. Better yet, latch onto a group of locals and cross in their shadow. If you really want to walk around, these places would be good: * Walk along the Hooghly River. There is a good promenade near the Eden Gardens. * Walk along the Chowringhee Road, which sets the pace as you unravel the rare beauty of this city. Across the road sweeps a huge, lush green, open parkland called the '''[[Kolkata/Maidan|Maidan]]''', centering around '''Fort William''', the massive and impregnable British Citadel built in 1773. A rambling green ‘lung of Kolkata’, the area is a hub of diverse activities. ==Talk== Being in [[West Bengal]], the native language of the people of Kolkata is '''[[Bengali phrasebook|Bengali]]'''. However, most locals also speak English and some [[Hindi phrasebook|Hindi]]. Many shopkeepers and taxi drivers are able to communicate in broken English, and government offices will typically have English-speaking staff on duty. Although it is generally not a problem getting by with English, learning some Bengali will make your trip much smoother. == See == [[File:Indian Museum, Courtyard, Kolkata, India.jpg|thumb|Built in 1814, the Indian Museum is one of the oldest museums in India]] [[File:Kolkatatemple.jpg|thumb|Dakshineswar Kali Temple]] [[File:Science_City_Kolkata_4643.JPG|thumb|Science City]] Kolkata is known for its numerous attractions — palaces, parks and museums — built during and after the 190 years of [[British Raj|British rule in India]]. The most notable sites are the '''Victoria Memorial''' (a memorial hall dedicated to the memory of Queen Victoria), the '''Howrah Bridge''' (a cantilever bridge opened in 1943), '''Dakshineswar Kali Temple''' (a Hindu temple associated with Sri Ramakrishna), '''Science City''' (a massive science museum in [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]]) and the '''Indian Museum''' (one of the oldest museums in India). Detailed listings of all sights in Kolkata can be found in the district articles. ==Do== Take a '''tram ride''' in Kolkata. The city has the only active tram service in India and has become an icon of Kolkata. They move slow on the laid tracks in traffic-jammed streets. Several modern '''cinemas''' are dotted around the city, including [http://www.inoxmovies.com/ INOX] with several locations, [http://www.famecinemas.com/ Fame] at Metropolis Mall in Highland Park, and [http://www.adlabscinemas.com/ RDB Adlabs] at RDB Boulevard, Near Infinity Building in Salt Lake Sector-V, all showing Indian and American blockbusters. Unlike most of cricket-obsessed India, '''[[Association football|football (soccer)]]''' reigns supreme in Kolkata, with the local clubs [http://www.mohunbaganac.com Mohun Bagan Athletic Club] and [http://www.eastbengalfootballclub.com East Bengal Club] being the most successful in India. They contest the Kolkata Derby biannually, which is considered by many to be the oldest and most intense football rivalry in all of Asia. ===Events=== '''[http://www.iplt20.com/ Indian Premier League]''' (IPL) is the main club [[cricket]] league in India. It is one of the world's most widely attended sporting events, and if you are in Kolkata during the season (April–May), consider watching the home team (Kolkata Knight Riders) play at Eden Gardens. '''[http://www.kolkatabookfaironline.com Kolkata Book Fair]''' takes place from the last week of January to the first week of February. It is the largest book fair in Asia and is a significant event in the city. '''Durga Puja''', a festival honouring the Hindu goddess Durga, takes place in October. The biggest festival for Hindus in Bengal and Eastern India, Kolkata takes on an almost carnival-like ambience. Streets shut down for the construction of ''pandals'', large stands that depict events from the Ramayana and crowds flock to the biggest and best ones. Durga Puja in Kolkata has been listed as a [[UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage]] in 2022. A good time to visit, unless you have a fear of crowds. ==Learn== Kolkata is a key centre of learning in India. The most famous universities and colleges in Kolkata are the '''Medical College and Hospital''', '''Jadavpur University''', the '''University of Calcutta''', the '''Presidency University''' and '''Indian Institute of Management Calcutta'''. Apart from undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral courses, there are several training and diploma-level institutes and polytechnics that cater to the growing demand for skill-based and vocational education. ==Work== '''Volunteering''' is a real option here with several opportunities. * '''Brother Xavier's New Hope'''. Home for orphans of Kolkata's red light district. A much smaller mission than Mother Teresa's which one man built from the ground up. Brother Xavier and the children always need volunteers and funds. * '''Mother Teresa's Mission''' accepts volunteers to help in its multiple projects around the city. Enquire at the motherhouse. ==Buy== Traditionally Kolkata had certain shopping areas or districts. The New Market area was considered the core of fashionable marketing. That was the marketplace for the British and later patronised by the more sophisticated Indians. There were large markets in Burrabazar, Hatibagan-Shyambazar, Gariahat and Bhowanipore. There were several specialised markets: electrical goods at Chandni Chowk, jewellery at Bowbazar, books at College Street, fish at Maniktala, flowers at Jagannath Ghat, the Maidan market for sports goods and so on. The malls are a more recent addition. The South City Mall, one of the biggest in the city, is in its [[Kolkata/Southern fringes|southern fringes]]. The Quest Mall is another large shopping mall at Park Circus, an old neighbourhood in [[Kolkata/South|South Kolkata]].There are large number of malls in [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]] and new malls are being added. '''See district articles for specific listings.''' ==Eat== [[File:Rasgulla - Kolkata 2011-08-02 4547.JPG|thumb|''Roshogolla,'' sweet dumplings made out of ''Chenna'' (Indian cottage cheese) and semolina dough.]] Kolkata has old traditions about eating out. Wilson's Hotel (which later became the Great Eastern Hotel) is credited to have been the first western-style hotel/restaurant in Kolkata, serving what was then forbidden food for Indians, particularly Hindus. One could be treated as an out-caste if caught eating there, but the idea caught on and others followed. Many of the restaurants that line the streets in the Esplanade area have been around for more than a hundred years. The joy of food in Kolkata is in its Indian foods. Nizam's (at 23-24 Hogg Street), close to New Market, is credited with the invention of the famous Kati Kebab roll and still serves up the best of the best. For Mughlai dishes, there are several places to eat in the [[Kolkata/South|Park Circus]] area and there are others all over the city. Besides Bengali foods, Kolkata is also the home of Indian Chinese food. Chinese restaurants are everywhere so try the Indian variant of hot and sour soup and the famous Indian Chinese dish of chilli chicken. The best place to have Chinese is to visit Chinatown near Tangra, [[Kolkata/East|East Kolkata]]. It serves the best of the Chinese dishes and you will find plenty of large, small & medium restaurants. There are some restaurants serving Thai, Mediterranean or Italian food. Kolkata also has many excellent vegetarian restaurants ranging from budget to expensive ones. There are two types: those serving North Indian and those serving South Indian food. For those looking for vegetarian street foods, one can find ubiquitous ''jhal muri'' (somewhat similar to ''bhel puri'' of [[Mumbai]]) a concoction of puffed rice mixed with various spices, vegetables & other ingredients available at street vendors all over Kolkata. Street vendors selling egg rolls/chicken rolls abound and their freshly prepared kati rolls are safe to eat. Mughlai Paratha (earlier it was a paratha stuffed with minced meat, but now the minced meat has been replaced by cheaper but tasty alternatives) is a Kolkata speciality. ''Fuchka'', the Kolkata version of paani-puri, but very different from the ones found in Delhi, is available on the streets but be wary of the tamarind water. It never troubles the local people and outsiders can safely taste this delicacy as long as they don't take too much. Earlier, the restaurants were standalone entities. A cluster of restaurants in a single mall is a comparatively new idea and has become popular. (See district pages for restaurant listings.) ==Drink== {{movetodistrict}} There are plenty of places to buy alcohol around the city. Kolkata has many pubs and bars, which are frequented by youngsters as well as its older residents. Some pubs have live concerts or DJs. They include: *Someplace Else (The Park) * Roxy (The Park) * Aqua (The Park) * The Myx (Park Street) * Olypub (Park Street), famous for the beer and the beef steak * Mocha (AJC Bose Road) * Underground (HHI, AJC Bose Road) * Nocturne (Theatre Road) * Shisha Bar Stock Exchange, The Factory Outlet (22 Camac Street) * Chili's (Quest Mall, South City Mall, Acropolis Mall Kasba) * Cafe Mezzuna (Forum Mall Elgin Road, South City Mall) * Hoppipola (Acropolis Mall) * Afraa Lounge (City Centre Salt Lake) * Fairlawns (Sudder Street) * Big Ben (The Kenilworth, Little Russel Street) All pubs are supposed to shut shop by midnight or 1AM. So go early if you want to enjoy yourself in the club. ==Sleep== Kolkata has long had a concentration of budget backpacker hotels in the [[Kolkata/Esplanade#Sleep|Sudder Street]] area and many of these are colonial era gems, albeit decaying ones. Sudder Street is centrally located and is well connected by public transport. Both the major railway stations at [[Howrah]] and [[Kolkata/North#Sleep|Sealdah]] have many hotels around them. Most of them might be only licensed to accommodate Indian citizens. Be sure to not walk with a local "friend" or guide, unless you want to have higher prices. There are some hotels in [[Kolkata/South#Sleep|Gariahat]]. The growth of the IT Sector and hospital facilities in [[Kolkata/East#Sleep|East Kolkata]] has led to development of hotels in that area. British-era clubs such as Tollygunge Club, Calcutta Club (AJC Bose Rd), Saturday Club (Theatre Rd), and Bengal Club (Russel St) have lavish rooms for rent. However, they only accept bookings through members. (See district pages for hotel listings.) ==Stay safe== {{cautionbox | Recently, several roads and streets in Kolkata became one-way, permanently or temporarily, generally without notice. Unless you know where the streets in Kolkata become one-way, avoid using your car to drive in the city. Otherwise, you might face a hefty fine from traffic police. | lastedit=2022-08-05 }} [[File:India - Kolkata street beggar - 3246.jpg|thumb|A beggar in Kolkata]] Kolkata is one of the safest metropolitan areas in India, and the people are friendly and helpful, unlike in most of India's other large cities. One noted problem is the drug dealers around Sudder Street. However, as the dealers obviously do not want to draw undue attention to their activity, they are not persistent and rarely a threat. There have been rare incidents of chain, bag and mobile snatching in railway stations and empty roads. Visitors outside the city are often magnets for [[begging|beggars]], frauds and touts. In [[Kolkata/South|South Kolkata]], beggars often knock at the glass windows of cars. It does little good to get angry or to say "No" loudly. The best response is to look unconcerned and ignore the behaviour. The more attention you pay to a beggar or a tout, positive or negative, the longer they will follow you hoping for a donation. ===Kolkata Police=== The [http://www.kolkatapolice.gov.in/ Kolkata Police] is a police force serving the city. While most of the police officers are honest and helpful, you may find some officers who may be corrupt and unhelpful. '''For police assistance during an emergency dial 100.'''

The fare is ₹86 to the Haridaspur border post (about 2½ hr). All the way to Dhaka (with a bus change at the border) will cost ₹550 (about 12 hr). Beware that several travel agencies around this area also sell tickets for these buses, but at very inflated prices. At the border, it's best to change money on the Indian side, but count it carefully and double-check the maths on their calculator. On the Bangladesh side, there are some bus stands just behind the border, or you can catch a flat-bed cycle-rickshaw for Tk5 for the 2&nbsp;km trip to the bus stand for onward travel, or you can walk, but expect the hopeful rickshaw-wallahs to follow you at least halfway. *'''[[Bhutan]]''' — Tucked away in the corner of the bus station is a small Bhutan Government kiosk selling tickets for buses running to the Bhutanese border town of [[Phuentsholing]]. Buses depart Tu Th Sa at 9PM, and the 18-hr journey costs ₹300. {{usablecity}} {{geo|22.5726723|88.3638815|zoom=13}} {{isPartOf|Greater Kolkata}} {{hasDocent|2006nishan178713}} fbaybw6lo7yno0qike1297steewws4m 0 18003 4495823 4183500 2022-08-05T18:17:09Z 156.0.214.43 wikitext text/x-wiki 4495825 4495823 2022-08-05T18:28:04Z Antandrus 219504 Reverted edits by [[Special:Contributions/156.0.214.43|156.0.214.43]] ([[User talk:156.0.214.43|talk]]) to last version by [[User:Lazarus1255|Lazarus1255]] wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Pagebanner default.jpg|unesco=yes|caption=The Manpupuner rock formations, one of the Seven Wonders of Russia}} '''Komi Republic''' is a region in [[Northwestern Russia]], which borders [[Kirov Oblast]] to the southwest, [[Arkhangelsk Oblast]] to the west, [[Nenetsia]] to the north, [[Yamalia]] to the northeast, [[Khantia-Mansia]] to the east, [[Sverdlovsk Oblast]] to the southeast, and [[Perm Krai]] to the south. ==Cities== {{mapframe}} {{mapshape}} * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Syktyvkar]]|wikidata=Q2143}} &mdash; the capital and the only city in the region that qualifies as a tourist destination for its own sake * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Inta]]|wikidata=Q142996}} &mdash; a small city which housed one of the region's many gulags * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Izhma]]|wikidata=Q2478355}} — an old Komi village on the Izhma river, with wooden architecture and rich folk traditions * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Mikun]]|wikidata=Q158864}} * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Pechora]]|wikidata=Q179387}} &mdash; a small city on the Pechora river; likely your base for exploring Yugyd Va * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Sosnogorsk]]|wikidata=Q196415}} * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Ukhta]]|wikidata=Q197018}} &mdash; a big industrial city centered around the nearby oilfields * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Usinsk]]|wikidata=Q196904}} &mdash; another oil city * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Ust-Tsilma]]|wikidata=Q2573267}} — an ancient village on the Pechora River, populated mainly by Russian Old Believers with numerous well-preserved examples of wooden architecture and rich folk traditions * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Vorkuta]]|wikidata=Q133529}} &mdash; a coal mining city in the tundra, which hosted one of the USSR's most notorious Stalin-era gulags, and has one of the closest airports to the beautiful but inhospitable polar Ural mountains * {{marker|type=city|name=[[Yb]]|wikidata=Q15263380}} — an old Komi village near Syktyvkar comprising of seven small villages on seven hills along 15 km of the Sysola River.

It is part of a contiguous settlement that includes [[Tabatinga]] in [[Brazil]]. On a nearby island in the river is [[Santa Rosa (Peru)|Santa Rosa]], which is part of [[Peru]]. [[File:Leticia port in dry season.JPG|thumb|Port of Leticia in dry season]] [[File:Leticia port in wet season.JPG|thumb|Port of Leticia in wet season]] ==Understand== Leticia is a small town of over 42,000 inhabitants (2018) on the north bank of the Amazon River. It is the capital of the state of Amazonas, Colombia's southernmost town (4.09° south 69.57° west), and its only major port on the river. It has an elevation of 96 meters above the sea-level and an average temperature of 27&nbsp;°C (80.6&nbsp;°F). As the largest town and the only one with a hospital, secondary schools, an airport, 24/7 electricity (blackouts occur but do not last long) and telephone/internet facilities (very slow!) it serves as the main hub for the whole area. Regulations '''require a [[yellow fever]] vaccination''' for entering the area and most neighboring countries may demand one from people coming from that area. Though not everyone is checked, having the proof of vaccination is not only good for stress- and bribe-free travels but actually recommended for health reasons. Vaccination must be done at least 10 days before entering the area; in Colombia it is free for people who travel to high risk areas like Leticia (only WHO-approved places may do this, search the internet for "vacuna fiebre amarilla" and the name of the city you are in for places). Many people arrive at Leticia and continue to one of the Jungle lodges in the area, where they stay several days. It's also quite possible to go explore the Amazon with day tours (Section "Do"). ==Get in== As this city is nestled in a dense tropical rainforest and there are no highways, it is only possible to enter this spectacular, tropical and adventurous city from Colombia by plane or boat. ===Immigration=== Movement between the three countries' border towns is unrestricted; but of course, make sure you're stamped into the correct country if leaving the border area. Try to minimize the number of times you go through immigration: i.e. if entering the region from one country and leaving from another, just get one exit and one entry stamp - even if you visit all three towns in this area. Anything more seems to annoy the immigration officers. There's a Colombian immigration office at the airport, so if you're flying in and moving on to a different country you may as well get an exit stamp when you land. Don't wait several days between getting your exit stamp and the next entry stamp; however leaving it one day doesn't cause any problems. There is another immigration office in the port, as you get off the boat from Santa Rosa. As of June 2021 it's closed and going to reopen in one of the upcoming months. The Brazilian immigration office is at [[Tabatinga]]'s main avenue, Avenida da Amizade. You need to get exit and entry stamps at the national police station, which closes at noon. The Peruvian immigration office in [[Santa Rosa (Peru)|Santa Rosa]] is fairly central and easy to find, just ask someone (roughly: From the boats, follow the path into town, turn right on the main street, after about 100 m it is a building on your left.) ===By plane=== * {{go | name=Alfredo Vásquez Cobo International Airport | alt={{IATA|LET}} | url= | email= | address= | lat=-4.19738 | long=-69.94143 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Alfredo Vásquez Cobo International Airport | wikidata=Q432334 | content=}} Leticia has direct connections from [[Bogota]] and one-stop connections from other Colombian cities. Between Bogota and Leticia there are two daily flights with Avianca (arriving 2:11PM, departing 2:41PM) and [https://www.latam.com/ LATAM] (11:39AM/12:25PM). On arrival to Leticia's airport, non-Colombian tourists are not separated, however they are directed to a desk in the arrivals hall by an official at the exit and have to pay an entrance fee (Impuesto al turismo). None of the officials may be able to speak English. Entrance fee was COP$35,000 in November 2019 and it's valid for one year. It is only possible to pay in cash and there is no ATM at the airport so make sure you bring enough. Taxis to the city center are COP$6,000-8,000. The airport of neighboring town [[Tabatinga]] has flights to [[Manaus]]. ===By boat=== From [[Iquitos]] to [[Santa Rosa (Peru)|Santa Rosa]], across the river in [[Peru]], you can take a fast boat (10 hr, US$75 or [[Peru#Money|S/]]200) or slow boat (2–3 days, ~US$20–25, bring a hammock, plate and spoon - food is provided). If taking the slow boat buy yourself some fresh water, and treats for the trip. You must bring yourself a hammock and rope to tie it up. Try get on the boat early and secure a spot on the top deck. Also see [[Voyaging along the Amazon River]] for more tips on the trip by boat. Remember to get an exit stamp at the immigration office at Santa Rosa.

You can either walk over the little hill or take a small boat to the new departure gate (for boats to Puerto Narino, Benjamin Constant, etc.) ==Get around== Mototaxis are abound. In June 2021 it was COP2,000 between the frontier and Parque Santander and between Parque Santander and the port. You can recognize mototaxis by the second helmet they carry. Only some of the drivers wear a t-shirt stating "mototaxi". There are also motocarros (tuk-tuks), covered tricycle-type vehicles in which you're more protected from the elements. You can rent a bicycle; or a motorcycle in various points around town (COP$50,000 per day, COP$30,000 per day if renting for a week, COP$25,000 for longer rentals - haggle!) ==See== {{mapframe|lat|long|zoom=|height=|width=|layer=|staticmap=|align=|name=}} The most common day tour sold by tour agencies all over the town (approx.

The building has WiFi, air-conditioning, and clean washrooms with toilet paper. *''' Puerto Nariño & Tarapoto Lake''' 3 public boats per day do the route Leticia-Puerto Narino, 8AM, 10AM, 2PM; last return boat is at 3:30PM (not at 4PM as mentioned in several sources); reserve your return ticket in advance or you get stranded in Puerto Narino. Be sure to confirm the times. Once in Puerto Narino, it's easy to hire a boat with guide to continue to Tarapoto Lake. *''' Micos Monkey Island''' A nature reserve that allows you to feed the monkeys. With the scheduled speed boat it's COP$19.000 there and COP$32.000 back (COP$51,000 altogether, June 2021). An employee of the speed boat company said in June 2021 that the reserve is closed, so check whether it reopened. *''' Bicycle trip to Tabatinga (Brazil)''' *''' Nighttime Safari''' *''' Bird Watching''' At sunset, thousands of small parrots fly to Parque Santader to spend the night in the park's trees. If you ask nicely at the church next to the park, they will let you see this spectacle from the church's bell tower. A small donation is required (COP$2,500).

The cultural and medicinal tour offer plenty of opportunities to sit down, the cultural tour allows to try blowtubes and bow and arrow. Buses go there every 30 minutes or so, just tell the bus driver that you want to get off the bus there since it is not a default bus stop. It is probably the most children friendly thing one can do to spark some interest in the ecological aspects of the Amazon, and definitely, since it is a curated garden, one of the safest ways for learning about the ecosystem. There is a small kiosk nearby, but bringing drinks and food is a good idea since the nearby restaurants are only open on Sundays during off-season. *''' Acuarios Etuena''' The first aquarium to display a wide range of native species from the rainforest.

[[Puerto Nariño]] is 1:30h by boat and has hostels. There is a small Peruvian village called [[Caballo Cocha]], two hours' by boat from Leticia. Ask in the local tourist agency if they can organize a trip there. Slow (60 hr) and fast (13 hr) boats leave from [[Santa Rosa (Peru)]] to [[Iquitos]]. The fast boat (el rapido) leaves around 3 in the morning and the slow boat (la lancha) at 6 or 8 in the evening. Make sure to get your exit stamp at the DAS office in the airport, and your Peruvian entrance stamp at the office in Santa Rosa. There is a fast boat to [[Benjamin Constant]] that leaves around every half hour, or whenever it's full, from the port in Tabatinga, and it costs COP$15,000. ====Northwards:==== There are direct flights to Bogota every day. And you find one-stop flights to other Colombian destinations, some of them for the same price as to Bogota. Plane tickets can be booked directly at the airport (CC accepted). There are irregular flights to other destinations as well, but in very small planes (about a dozen passengers) and one has to be very persistent to get a seat there since they are usually not offered to tourists. ====Eastwards:==== Go to the port in [[Tabatinga]] for travel towards [[Manaus]] and [[Belém]]. Don't forget to get your exit stamp at the airport's immigration office and your entry stamp at Tabatinga's Policia Federal (best done en route, as it's in town and not really near the port). {{isPartOf|Amazonia (Colombia)}} {{usablecity}} {{geo|-4.2917|-69.844}} 7i9yke7h4pdaxzksygo9c5ar3qhhdry 4495841 4495839 2022-08-05T20:30:33Z Chewvoy 2274298 /* Do */ putting in correct format wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|S-amer africa default banner.jpg}} '''Leticia''' is a city in the [[Amazonas (Colombia)|Amazonas]] department of [[Colombia]]. It is part of a contiguous settlement that includes [[Tabatinga]] in [[Brazil]]. On a nearby island in the river is [[Santa Rosa (Peru)|Santa Rosa]], which is part of [[Peru]]. [[File:Leticia port in dry season.JPG|thumb|Port of Leticia in dry season]] [[File:Leticia port in wet season.JPG|thumb|Port of Leticia in wet season]] ==Understand== Leticia is a small town of over 42,000 inhabitants (2018) on the north bank of the Amazon River. It is the capital of the state of Amazonas, Colombia's southernmost town (4.09° south 69.57° west), and its only major port on the river. It has an elevation of 96 meters above the sea-level and an average temperature of 27&nbsp;°C (80.6&nbsp;°F). As the largest town and the only one with a hospital, secondary schools, an airport, 24/7 electricity (blackouts occur but do not last long) and telephone/internet facilities (very slow!) it serves as the main hub for the whole area. Regulations '''require a [[yellow fever]] vaccination''' for entering the area and most neighboring countries may demand one from people coming from that area. Though not everyone is checked, having the proof of vaccination is not only good for stress- and bribe-free travels but actually recommended for health reasons. Vaccination must be done at least 10 days before entering the area; in Colombia it is free for people who travel to high risk areas like Leticia (only WHO-approved places may do this, search the internet for "vacuna fiebre amarilla" and the name of the city you are in for places). Many people arrive at Leticia and continue to one of the Jungle lodges in the area, where they stay several days. It's also quite possible to go explore the Amazon with day tours (Section "Do"). ==Get in== As this city is nestled in a dense tropical rainforest and there are no highways, it is only possible to enter this spectacular, tropical and adventurous city from Colombia by plane or boat. ===Immigration=== Movement between the three countries' border towns is unrestricted; but of course, make sure you're stamped into the correct country if leaving the border area. Try to minimize the number of times you go through immigration: i.e. if entering the region from one country and leaving from another, just get one exit and one entry stamp - even if you visit all three towns in this area. Anything more seems to annoy the immigration officers. There's a Colombian immigration office at the airport, so if you're flying in and moving on to a different country you may as well get an exit stamp when you land. Don't wait several days between getting your exit stamp and the next entry stamp; however leaving it one day doesn't cause any problems. There is another immigration office in the port, as you get off the boat from Santa Rosa. As of June 2021 it's closed and going to reopen in one of the upcoming months. The Brazilian immigration office is at [[Tabatinga]]'s main avenue, Avenida da Amizade. You need to get exit and entry stamps at the national police station, which closes at noon. The Peruvian immigration office in [[Santa Rosa (Peru)|Santa Rosa]] is fairly central and easy to find, just ask someone (roughly: From the boats, follow the path into town, turn right on the main street, after about 100 m it is a building on your left.) ===By plane=== * {{go | name=Alfredo Vásquez Cobo International Airport | alt={{IATA|LET}} | url= | email= | address= | lat=-4.19738 | long=-69.94143 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Alfredo Vásquez Cobo International Airport | wikidata=Q432334 | content=}} Leticia has direct connections from [[Bogota]] and one-stop connections from other Colombian cities. Between Bogota and Leticia there are two daily flights with Avianca (arriving 2:11PM, departing 2:41PM) and [https://www.latam.com/ LATAM] (11:39AM/12:25PM). On arrival to Leticia's airport, non-Colombian tourists are not separated, however they are directed to a desk in the arrivals hall by an official at the exit and have to pay an entrance fee (Impuesto al turismo). None of the officials may be able to speak English. Entrance fee was COP$35,000 in November 2019 and it's valid for one year. It is only possible to pay in cash and there is no ATM at the airport so make sure you bring enough. Taxis to the city center are COP$6,000-8,000. The airport of neighboring town [[Tabatinga]] has flights to [[Manaus]]. ===By boat=== From [[Iquitos]] to [[Santa Rosa (Peru)|Santa Rosa]], across the river in [[Peru]], you can take a fast boat (10 hr, US$75 or [[Peru#Money|S/]]200) or slow boat (2–3 days, ~US$20–25, bring a hammock, plate and spoon - food is provided). If taking the slow boat buy yourself some fresh water, and treats for the trip. You must bring yourself a hammock and rope to tie it up. Try get on the boat early and secure a spot on the top deck.

In June 2021 it was COP2,000 between the frontier and Parque Santander and between Parque Santander and the port. You can recognize mototaxis by the second helmet they carry. Only some of the drivers wear a t-shirt stating "mototaxi". There are also motocarros (tuk-tuks), covered tricycle-type vehicles in which you're more protected from the elements. You can rent a bicycle; or a motorcycle in various points around town (COP$50,000 per day, COP$30,000 per day if renting for a week, COP$25,000 for longer rentals - haggle!) ==See== {{mapframe|lat|long|zoom=|height=|width=|layer=|staticmap=|align=|name=}} The most common day tour sold by tour agencies all over the town (approx.

Be sure to confirm the times. Once in Puerto Narino, it's easy to hire a boat with guide to continue to Tarapoto Lake. *''' Micos Monkey Island''' A nature reserve that allows you to feed the monkeys. With the scheduled speed boat it's COP$19.000 there and COP$32.000 back (COP$51,000 altogether, June 2021). An employee of the speed boat company said in June 2021 that the reserve is closed, so check whether it reopened. *''' Bicycle trip to Tabatinga (Brazil)''' *''' Nighttime Safari''' *''' Bird Watching''' At sunset, thousands of small parrots fly to Parque Santader to spend the night in the park's trees.

The cultural and medicinal tour offer plenty of opportunities to sit down, the cultural tour allows to try blowtubes and bow and arrow. Buses go there every 30 minutes or so, just tell the bus driver that you want to get off the bus there since it is not a default bus stop. It is probably the most children friendly thing one can do to spark some interest in the ecological aspects of the Amazon, and definitely, since it is a curated garden, one of the safest ways for learning about the ecosystem. There is a small kiosk nearby, but bringing drinks and food is a good idea since the nearby restaurants are only open on Sundays during off-season. *''' Acuarios Etuena''' The first aquarium to display a wide range of native species from the rainforest.

[[Puerto Nariño]] is 1:30h by boat and has hostels. There is a small Peruvian village called [[Caballo Cocha]], two hours' by boat from Leticia. Ask in the local tourist agency if they can organize a trip there. Slow (60 hr) and fast (13 hr) boats leave from [[Santa Rosa (Peru)]] to [[Iquitos]]. The fast boat (el rapido) leaves around 3 in the morning and the slow boat (la lancha) at 6 or 8 in the evening. Make sure to get your exit stamp at the DAS office in the airport, and your Peruvian entrance stamp at the office in Santa Rosa. There is a fast boat to [[Benjamin Constant]] that leaves around every half hour, or whenever it's full, from the port in Tabatinga, and it costs COP$15,000. ====Northwards:==== There are direct flights to Bogota every day. And you find one-stop flights to other Colombian destinations, some of them for the same price as to Bogota. Plane tickets can be booked directly at the airport (CC accepted). There are irregular flights to other destinations as well, but in very small planes (about a dozen passengers) and one has to be very persistent to get a seat there since they are usually not offered to tourists. ====Eastwards:==== Go to the port in [[Tabatinga]] for travel towards [[Manaus]] and [[Belém]]. Don't forget to get your exit stamp at the airport's immigration office and your entry stamp at Tabatinga's Policia Federal (best done en route, as it's in town and not really near the port). {{isPartOf|Amazonia (Colombia)}} {{usablecity}} {{geo|-4.2917|-69.844}} 4a1bmlip2cdc2ka3vpz0pqb9pk9r00p 0 19835 4495814 4462663 2022-08-05T18:06:39Z Alstein Einbert 2274294 Fixed typo, grammatical error, duplicate/extraneous word wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Phrasebooks Banner.jpg}} '''Phrasebooks''' are works compiling a list of useful words and phrases in a foreign language alongside their translation, used mainly by people travelling abroad. They also provide useful information about the language and culture of the destination area, in order to allow the reader to get by easier in situations that could arise in the destination. Wikivoyage has dozens of digital phrasebooks that you can use on the internet, download to your favourite device for offline use, or print onto paper. == Understand == [[File:Phrase book.jpg|thumb|A French-Russian paper phrasebook.]] Learning a language can take months or years, but real-world travel plans for leisure or [[Business travel|business]] often don't allow you the necessary time. That's where a phrasebook becomes useful. Phrasebooks are not grammar guides, dictionaries nor language courses. Rather, they are an aid to help you understand and say specific words and phrases, with a focus on everyday conversation and on scenarios that typically occur during a temporary stay in another country or region. They are usually divided into thematic chapters according to the purpose of communication, such as how to greet someone, how to ask for food, how to buy something, and how to ask for help. Sometimes they can be accompanied by a digital support with audio files to practise pronunciation and ease listening comprehension. Most phrasebooks include an explanatory guide to the language's writing system, phonology and pronunciation. Some also touch on aspects of the native culture, or include an elementary grammar guide or reference index. A good phrasebook will thus allow you to deal with most common situations that arise during temporary travel, without needing to have an interpreter escort you. Electronic phrasebooks have the additional virtue of being as light and easy to carry as your device. But if your [[reasons to travel|reason for travelling]] is for longer-term purposes such as [[studying abroad|studying]], [[working abroad|working]] or [[retiring abroad]], your phrasebook will only get you so far. In these situations, it is best to properly learn the local language. == Prepare == === Choosing a suitable phrasebook === [[File:World regional languages map.svg|right|thumb |500x500px|Although it's impossible to learn every language, getting a handle on important phrases from about a dozen will take you most places in the world.]] First, you have to determine '''which language''' you'll be focusing on for your trip; check out the 'Talk' section of the article for your destination country or region. Most likely, the language you'll want a phrasebook for will be the local language (or a variety of that language) spoken in the destination. However, some places have a dominant language that may be non-native or with colonial origins that a large percentage of the local population understands as a second language. Examples of these include Hindi in India, or French in parts of Africa. Such languages are often easier to find complete and useful phrasebooks for, whereas the true native language may be considered "obscure" in your home country. Yet, for a more authentic travel experience, to truly understand the local culture, or if you simply want to leave your comfort zone, it may be better to choose a phrasebook for the local language. Once you’ve chosen a language, you have to find the most suitable storage format for your phrasebook, according to your trip and destination. If the place you’re visiting is somewhere a high-speed internet connection is practically taken for granted, it is a good idea to choose the '''digital format'''. As long as you have internet, you can access an unlimited number of phrasebooks you want through the device and keep them updated. By contrast, paper books are static and can only become outdated. Digital phrasebooks can even include audio files to practise your listening and speaking skills. When travelling in countries where the connection is poor, you can still use your device, although it's advisable to download an '''offline copy''' of the target phrasebook beforehand. The [[Wikivoyage:Kiwix|Kiwix project]], a static version of Wikivoyage that can be used offline, is one option. In very remote destinations without reliable access to power sockets, it is better to bring a phrasebook in '''paperback format''' or to '''print out''' your digital phrasebook ahead of time. === Practice makes perfect === Before you even leave home, it’s a great idea to read through the phrasebook of your target language. This will allow you to become familiar with its contents and layout, to memorise the most important phrases and to start practising and assimilating the pronunciation, if possible with the help of an audiobook. You’ll also get advance warning of what useful words and phrases are ''not'' in the phrasebook, while you still have the opportunity to source additional material. The earlier you start, the more time you’ll have to learn at an effective pace. It’s much easier to memorise five new words a day for a month than it is to learn a whole phrasebook while sitting in departures. The more prepared you are before you arrive in your destination, the lower the chances you’ll find yourself desperately rummaging through your phrasebook while a local impatiently waits for you to say something intelligible. == Language phrasebooks == The following sections list the foreign language phrasebooks that are available on Wikivoyage.

They also provide useful information about the language and culture of the destination area, in order to allow the reader to get by easier in situations that could arise in the destination. Wikivoyage has dozens of digital phrasebooks that can be used on the internet, downloaded to a device for later offline use, or printed onto paper. == Understand == [[File:Phrase book.jpg|thumb|A French-Russian paper phrasebook.]] Learning a language can take months or years, but real-world travel plans for leisure or [[Business travel|business]] often don't allow you the necessary time. That's where a phrasebook becomes useful. Phrasebooks are not grammar guides, dictionaries nor language courses. Rather, they are an aid to help you understand and say specific words and phrases, with a focus on everyday conversation and on scenarios that typically occur during a temporary stay in another country or region. They are usually divided into thematic chapters according to the purpose of communication, such as how to greet someone, how to ask for food, how to buy something, and how to ask for help. Sometimes they can be accompanied by a digital support with audio files to practise pronunciation and ease listening comprehension. Most phrasebooks include an explanatory guide to the language's writing system, phonology and pronunciation. Some also touch on aspects of the native culture, or include an elementary grammar guide or reference index. A good phrasebook will thus allow you to deal with most common situations that arise during temporary travel, without needing to have an interpreter escort you. Electronic phrasebooks have the additional virtue of being as light and easy to carry as your device. But if your [[reasons to travel|reason for travelling]] is for longer-term purposes such as [[studying abroad|studying]], [[working abroad|working]] or [[retiring abroad]], your phrasebook will only get you so far. In these situations, it is best to properly learn the local language. == Prepare == === Choosing a suitable phrasebook === [[File:World regional languages map.svg|right|thumb |500x500px|Although it's impossible to learn every language, getting a handle on important phrases from about a dozen will take you most places in the world.]] First, you have to determine '''which language''' you'll be focusing on for your trip; check out the 'Talk' section of the article for your destination country or region. Most likely, the language you'll want a phrasebook for will be the local language (or a variety of that language) spoken in the destination. However, some places have a dominant language that may be non-native or with colonial origins that a large percentage of the local population understands as a second language. Examples of these include Hindi in India, or French in parts of Africa. Such languages are often easier to find complete and useful phrasebooks for, whereas the true native language may be considered "obscure" in your home country. Yet, for a more authentic travel experience, to truly understand the local culture, or if you simply want to leave your comfort zone, it may be better to choose a phrasebook for the local language. Once you’ve chosen a language, you have to find the most suitable storage format for your phrasebook, according to your trip and destination. If the place you’re visiting is somewhere a high-speed internet connection is practically taken for granted, it is a good idea to choose the '''digital format'''. As long as you have internet, you can access an unlimited number of phrasebooks you want through the device and keep them updated. By contrast, paper books are static and can only become outdated. Digital phrasebooks can even include audio files to practise your listening and speaking skills. When travelling in countries where the connection is poor, you can still use your device, although it's advisable to download an '''offline copy''' of the target phrasebook beforehand. The [[Wikivoyage:Kiwix|Kiwix project]], a static version of Wikivoyage that can be used offline, is one option. In very remote destinations without reliable access to power sockets, it is better to bring a phrasebook in '''paperback format''' or to '''print out''' your digital phrasebook ahead of time. === Practice makes perfect === Before you even leave home, it’s a great idea to read through the phrasebook of your target language.

They also provide useful information about the language and culture of the destination area, in order to allow the reader to get by easier in situations that could arise in the destination. Wikivoyage has dozens of digital phrasebooks that can be used on the internet, downloaded to a device for later offline use, or printed. == Understand == [[File:Phrase book.jpg|thumb|A French-Russian paper phrasebook.]] Learning a language can take months or years, but real-world travel plans for leisure or [[Business travel|business]] often don't allow you the necessary time. That's where a phrasebook becomes useful. Phrasebooks are not grammar guides, dictionaries nor language courses. Rather, they are an aid to help you understand and say specific words and phrases, with a focus on everyday conversation and on scenarios that typically occur during a temporary stay in another country or region. They are usually divided into thematic chapters according to the purpose of communication, such as how to greet someone, how to ask for food, how to buy something, and how to ask for help. Sometimes they can be accompanied by a digital support with audio files to practise pronunciation and ease listening comprehension. Most phrasebooks include an explanatory guide to the language's writing system, phonology and pronunciation. Some also touch on aspects of the native culture, or include an elementary grammar guide or reference index. A good phrasebook will thus allow you to deal with most common situations that arise during temporary travel, without needing to have an interpreter escort you. Electronic phrasebooks have the additional virtue of being as light and easy to carry as your device. But if your [[reasons to travel|reason for travelling]] is for longer-term purposes such as [[studying abroad|studying]], [[working abroad|working]] or [[retiring abroad]], your phrasebook will only get you so far. In these situations, it is best to properly learn the local language. == Prepare == === Choosing a suitable phrasebook === [[File:World regional languages map.svg|right|thumb |500x500px|Although it's impossible to learn every language, getting a handle on important phrases from about a dozen will take you most places in the world.]] First, you have to determine '''which language''' you'll be focusing on for your trip; check out the 'Talk' section of the article for your destination country or region. Most likely, the language you'll want a phrasebook for will be the local language (or a variety of that language) spoken in the destination. However, some places have a dominant language that may be non-native or with colonial origins that a large percentage of the local population understands as a second language. Examples of these include Hindi in India, or French in parts of Africa. Such languages are often easier to find complete and useful phrasebooks for, whereas the true native language may be considered "obscure" in your home country. Yet, for a more authentic travel experience, to truly understand the local culture, or if you simply want to leave your comfort zone, it may be better to choose a phrasebook for the local language. Once you’ve chosen a language, you have to find the most suitable storage format for your phrasebook, according to your trip and destination. If the place you’re visiting is somewhere a high-speed internet connection is practically taken for granted, it is a good idea to choose the '''digital format'''. As long as you have internet, you can access an unlimited number of phrasebooks you want through the device and keep them updated. By contrast, paper books are static and can only become outdated. Digital phrasebooks can even include audio files to practise your listening and speaking skills. When travelling in countries where the connection is poor, you can still use your device, although it's advisable to download an '''offline copy''' of the target phrasebook beforehand. The [[Wikivoyage:Kiwix|Kiwix project]], a static version of Wikivoyage that can be used offline, is one option. In very remote destinations without reliable access to power sockets, it is better to bring a phrasebook in '''paperback format''' or to '''print out''' your digital phrasebook ahead of time. === Practice makes perfect === Before you even leave home, it’s a great idea to read through the phrasebook of your target language. This will allow you to become familiar with its contents and layout, to memorise the most important phrases and to start practising and assimilating the pronunciation, if possible with the help of an audiobook. You’ll also get advance warning of what useful words and phrases are ''not'' in the phrasebook, while you still have the opportunity to source additional material. The earlier you start, the more time you’ll have to learn at an effective pace. It’s much easier to memorise five new words a day for a month than it is to learn a whole phrasebook while sitting in departures. The more prepared you are before you arrive in your destination, the lower the chances you’ll find yourself desperately rummaging through your phrasebook while a local impatiently waits for you to say something intelligible. == Language phrasebooks == The following sections list the foreign language phrasebooks that are available on Wikivoyage. For more general information on language and travel, including tips for where few locals speak your language, see [[Talk]]. A few languages are very widely used throughout the world and are listed first. All other languages are listed under the continent where they are most closely identified. If you are not sure which languages are spoken in the country you plan to visit, see the "Talk" section of the article for that country.

They also provide useful information about the language and culture of the destination area, in order to allow the reader to get by easier in situations that could arise in the destination. Wikivoyage has dozens of digital phrasebooks that you can use on the internet, download to your favourite device for offline use, or print onto paper. == Understand == [[File:Phrase book.jpg|thumb|A French-Russian paper phrasebook.]] Learning a language can take months or years, but real-world travel plans for leisure or [[Business travel|business]] often don't allow you the necessary time. That's where a phrasebook becomes useful. Phrasebooks are not grammar guides, dictionaries nor language courses. Rather, they are an aid to help you understand and say specific words and phrases, with a focus on everyday conversation and on scenarios that typically occur during a temporary stay in another country or region. They are usually divided into thematic chapters according to the purpose of communication, such as how to greet someone, how to ask for food, how to buy something, and how to ask for help. Sometimes they can be accompanied by a digital support with audio files to practise pronunciation and ease listening comprehension. Most phrasebooks include an explanatory guide to the language's writing system, phonology and pronunciation. Some also touch on aspects of the native culture, or include an elementary grammar guide or reference index. A good phrasebook will thus allow you to deal with most common situations that arise during temporary travel, without needing to have an interpreter escort you. Electronic phrasebooks have the additional virtue of being as light and easy to carry as your device. But if your [[reasons to travel|reason for travelling]] is for longer-term purposes such as [[studying abroad|studying]], [[working abroad|working]] or [[retiring abroad]], your phrasebook will only get you so far. In these situations, it is best to properly learn the local language. == Prepare == === Choosing a suitable phrasebook === [[File:World regional languages map.svg|right|thumb |500x500px|Although it's impossible to learn every language, getting a handle on important phrases from about a dozen will take you most places in the world.]] First, you have to determine '''which language''' you'll be focusing on for your trip; check out the 'Talk' section of the article for your destination country or region. Most likely, the language you'll want a phrasebook for will be the local language (or a variety of that language) spoken in the destination. However, some places have a dominant language that may be non-native or with colonial origins that a large percentage of the local population understands as a second language. Examples of these include Hindi in India, or French in parts of Africa. Such languages are often easier to find complete and useful phrasebooks for, whereas the true native language may be considered "obscure" in your home country. Yet, for a more authentic travel experience, to truly understand the local culture, or if you simply want to leave your comfort zone, it may be better to choose a phrasebook for the local language. Once you’ve chosen a language, you have to find the most suitable storage format for your phrasebook, according to your trip and destination. If the place you’re visiting is somewhere a high-speed internet connection is practically taken for granted, it is a good idea to choose the '''digital format'''. As long as you have internet, you can access an unlimited number of phrasebooks you want through the device and keep them updated. By contrast, paper books are static and can only become outdated. Digital phrasebooks can even include audio files to practise your listening and speaking skills. When travelling in countries where the connection is poor, you can still use your device, although it's advisable to download an '''offline copy''' of the target phrasebook beforehand. The [[Wikivoyage:Kiwix|Kiwix project]], a static version of Wikivoyage that can be used offline, is one option. In very remote destinations without reliable access to power sockets, it is better to bring a phrasebook in '''paperback format''' or to '''print out''' your digital phrasebook ahead of time. === Practice makes perfect === Before you even leave home, it’s a great idea to read through the phrasebook of your target language. This will allow you to become familiar with its contents and layout, to memorise the most important phrases and to start practising and assimilating the pronunciation, if possible with the help of an audiobook. You’ll also get advance warning of what useful words and phrases are ''not'' in the phrasebook, while you still have the opportunity to source additional material. The earlier you start, the more time you’ll have to learn at an effective pace. It’s much easier to memorise five new words a day for a month than it is to learn a whole phrasebook while sitting in departures. The more prepared you are before you arrive in your destination, the lower the chances you’ll find yourself desperately rummaging through your phrasebook while a local impatiently waits for you to say something intelligible. == Language phrasebooks == The following sections list the foreign language phrasebooks that are available on Wikivoyage. For more general information on language and travel, including tips for where few locals speak your language, see [[Talk]]. A few languages are very widely used throughout the world and are listed first. All other languages are listed under the continent where they are most closely identified. If you are not sure which languages are spoken in the country you plan to visit, see the "Talk" section of the article for that country.

Golden-roofed wats (temples), decorated with mosaics and murals of the life of Buddha, sit under the gaze of wrap-around teak balconies and 19th-century shuttered windows. All of this is set against a backdrop of verdant greenery and rugged mountains. Luang Prabang is a relatively small city with an atmospheric and charming personality. With UNESCO so closely involved and a largely responsible group of local business owners, the pressures of mass tourism have been held at bay, but for how much longer remains to be seen. Restaurants in the main street cater for luxury tourists. More typical Lao venues can still be found along the Mekong. ===History=== Luang Prabang rose to prominence as the capital of the first Lao kingdom (''Lan Xang'', land of the million elephants) from 1353. The city owes its present name to the ''Pha Bang'', a revered Buddha image (now in the Royal Palace Museum) which was brought to the city by King Visoun during the golden age of ''Lan Xang'' in the early 1500s. The fragmentation of the Lao kingdom at the end of the 16th century left Luang Prabang a militarily weak independent city state paying tribute to surrounding kingdoms. The 1887 sacking of the city by the Chinese Haw led the Luang Prabang monarchy to accept the protection of the French, whose influence led to the construction of the many fine colonial villas that sit harmoniously alongside traditional Lao architecture. The city fell into decline in the latter half of the 20th century following the reluctant withdrawal of the French, and the 1975 revolution which brought an end to the Luang Prabang monarchy. The relative poverty of newly-independent Laos perhaps helped save Luang Prabang from the ravages of 20th-century city planning. The reopening of Laos to tourism in 1989 resulted in a remarkable turnaround in the city's fortunes, as crumbling timber houses and colonial mansions were sensitively restored and transformed into immaculate guesthouses and boutique hotels. In 1995 the city was placed on the [[UNESCO World Heritage List]]. == Get in == ===By plane === * {{listing | type=go | name=Luang Prabang International Airport | alt={{IATA|LPQ}} | url=http://www.luangprabangairport.com/ | email= | address= | lat=19.898612 | long=102.1625 | directions=4 km north of town | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Luang Prabang International Airport | image=LuangPrabangAirportAirside.jpg | wikidata=Q1077327 | content=Laos's second largest airport, was growing fast before COVID but as of 2022 offers only services to [[Bangkok]] and [[Vientiane]]. }} Visa-on-Arrival is available at the airport, costing USD $40 (as of 2022) for most eligible countries, and $20 for citizens of China or Vietnam, plus an extra $1 service fee. You need a passport photo to obtain a visa. If you don't have one, they'll scan your picture from your passport and charge you an additional US dollar. [[ASEAN]] nationals do not need a visa to enter Laos for stays not exceeding 30 days. Visa extensions are possible at the immigration office opposite the Rama Hotel. The cost is USD2/day plus a USD2 form fee. The process is very easy. Turn up in the morning with your passport and one photo. Fill in a form (in Luang Prabang they do this for you) and come back in the afternoon for your extension. A tuk-tuk costs 80-100,000 kip (Mar 2020). There is a taxi counter just outside the arrival hall. If you're traveling light, a walk from the airport to the town center takes about 1h. ===By bus === There are three bus stations, each a little bit out of the city, which serve different directions. Tuk-tuk drivers know which bus station to go to for which destination. Ask around for bus schedules. Tickets can be bought at every travel agent in the city, which makes more sense than buying them at the bus station as there is only a difference of roughly 20,000 kip, which pays for the tuk-tuk from your accommodation to the bus station. Pick those agencies which absorb the shuttle ride from the fare quote as others do not. Compare quotes before booking. Book tickets in advance, particularly for VIP buses as they have reserved seats. You don't want to end up sitting next to the toilet. * [[Chiang Mai]] - this bus direct to Chiang Mai costs 1,500 [[Thailand#Money|baht]] one-way. Total journey time is 18 hours. The bus will uses the new Thai-Lao Friendship Bridge from Huay Xai to Chiang Kong. * [[Vang Vieng]] - the air conditioned VIP bus costs approximately 150,000 kip, the same price as the Vientiane bus. Minibuses leave from Vang Vieng at 09:00 and cost 100,000 kip. The minibus station is just north of the city. The trip takes 6-7 hours (not the 5 that travel agents advertise). Rte 13, along which the bus travels, passes through the mountains and twists and turns uncomfortably for most of the journey. This is not a trip to make on a full stomach or if you are feeling queasy. * [[Vientiane]] - air-con VIP with reclining seats costs 150,000 kip while an air-con VIP sleeper bus costs 165,000 kip if booked through an agent. Express buses (no air-con) bought at the station are 110,000 kip. Tickets purchased in Vientiane to Luang Prabang are more expensive than those purchased in Luang Prabang. A 12-hr trip, not 9 hr as they claim, a total of 13 hours including the 1-hr meal time. :The bus follows Rte 13 south, which has been upgraded and is now pretty comfortable. Comparing pluses and minuses for VIP sleeper/VIP seats to Express for night trips, not much difference. If taking the trip at night, there is no need for air-con. Those prone to motion sickness should know that this trip travels a winding, mountainous road. :For seats-only buses, there is no toilet and you should relieve youself before departing because the stopover at the restaurant is 4 hours away, and the last is at the destination station. Check though, because not all tour companies offer free pick-up from a passenger's residence in the quoted price. Bus Station (southern) is about 3.2 km away by walking from the tourist area and a tuk tuk-costs about 20,000 kip (Feb 2012). Same thing with the Northern Bus Station, it's a more than 5-km walk. * [[Muang Xay]] - takes about 5 hours. Costs 40,000 kip and points onward, such as [[Luang Namtha]], are travelled by public minibus only. Big backpacks are carried on the roof. Reservations are usually not necessary. Go early in order to secure a good seat. * [[Luang Namtha]] - takes 8-9 hours and costs 90,000 kip. Parts of the road leading from Oudomxay (intermediate stop between Luang Prabang and Luang Namtha) are still under construction and are quite bumpy. Direct local bus via [[Muang Xay]] at 09:00. Otherwise take a bus to [[Muang Xay]] and switch there. * [[Nong Khiaw]] - 3 hours away by public bus from the Northern Bus Station or 8-10 hr by boat for about 110,000 kip. From there boats connect to scenic [[Muang Ngoi Neua]]. * [[Huay Xai]] - up to 15 hours away. Public buses leave at 09:00 (arriving at 24:00) or 17:00 (arriving at 08:00. A normal sleeping bus, not a sleeper). Costs 135,000 kip. VIP buses leave on alternating days, tickets purchased at the Northern Bus Station will cost 35,000 kip, less than if purchased at an agent in town. * [[Phonsavan]] - bus takes about 8 hours and costs 95,000 kip (Mar 2020). Leaves Southern Bus Station at 08:30. There is only one stop: 30 min for lunch. Minibus takes around 6 hours and leaves at 09:00 (120,000 kip). You should be able to buy your ticket at your guesthouse and arrange to be picked up and taken to the minibus station. You can stay on the minibus until it unloads the local people in the centre of Luang Prabang though tuk-tuk drivers may try to make you get off earlier at the bus station. *[[Hanoi]] by long distance bus (make sure you have the Vietnamese visa beforehand), 360,000 kip, 24 hours direct bus. If you require a Vietnamese visa, there is a Vietnamese Consulate in town that can issue visas (next day USD70). If heading to Hanoi, you can buy a ticket from a tour agent, or walk to the Southern Bus Station (30-min walk) and buy it yourself cheaper. You shouldn't buy the ticket at the station itself, but opposite the station you'll see some buses waiting and there will be an office of the Naluang Travel Company. They are the ones who operate the buses, so if you buy anywhere else the ticket will be more expensive. They claim to sell a ticket to Hanoi at the Northern Bus Station and for only 150,000 kip, but this will take you only to the border and then you'll be left at the mercy of the local drivers who can charge you any amount, since you're in the middle of nowhere. Don't mistake the Northern bus station with the Southern. *[[Loei]] - This connection goes once a day to the province capital Loei in Thailand. Buses leave Loei at 08:00 an the return journey from Luang Prabang leaves at 07:00. The fare is 700 baht one way and journey time is approximately 10 hours. From Loei there are 4 overnight buses and one day bus to Bangkok. For those going directly from Luang Prabang to Bangkok this allows to bypass Vientiane.

Hwy 13 is sealed and in relatively good shape during dry season all the way to Vientiane. Simply put, it is a long, bumpy and winding road trip. The road smacks of a lunar landscape and there are countless potholes due to poor quality surface, the top layer eroded to reveal the gravelly underlayer, which means a really bumpy ride. Although there have been incidents of violence along this stretch of road, it is now safe. ===By boat=== Boats ply the Mekong to and from [[Huay Xai]] at the Thai border, stopping in [[Pakbeng]] where you can catch overland connections towards the northeast and the border with [[China]]. The trip takes 2 days (each day about 9 hours) by slow boat, or 6 bone-rattling hours by speedboat. There are also operators offering 2-day "luxury" cruises. Expect to spend the night in Pakbeng if you're taking a slow boat (the safest option), or to arrive in Luang Prabang deaf, shaken and either exhausted or exhilarated from six hours in a speedboat. There is also a twice-weekly "one day comfortable boat" between Luang Prabang and Huay Xai, but the cost is significantly higher. '''Slow boats''' leave every day, the last one at 11:00. The trip from Luang Prabang to Huay Xai costs at least 220,000 kip (Mar 2014), the trip to Luang Prabang from Huay Xai costs 900 baht (Sep 2011). The slow boat leaves Luang Prabang at about 08:30, from a pier that is 10 km away from the town centre (a tuk-tuk costs 50-60 baht per person) and arrives around 18:00 at Pakbeng. It is common to have to switch to a different boat in Pakbeng, so you may end up in a boat of higher or lower quality for the second half of the journey. Two day boats have comfortable (car) seats and it is no longer necessary to purchase any cushions. Arriving in Huay Xai, it's best to take a quick tuk-tuk from the border crossing to the city centre for 50 baht. The slow boat is generally packed, so much so that there may not enough seats to go round. Arriving early will mean a longer day, but most likely a better seat, towards the front and away from the engine. The slow boat trip proceeds in a pleasant 20-30 km/hr and offers nice views of nature and village life on the banks of the Mekong. Most of the passengers are foreign tourists. Occasional locals take the boat only for short hops between the riverside villages, but prefer to take the bus for the full distance from Huay Xai to Luang Prabang. So you won't be able to observe any local boat travellers, as the boat ride offers just the usual sight of tourists drinking Beerlao for 20,000 kip. If you choose to travel on the '''speedboat''' (a light canoe with a very powerful engine), a crash helmet and life-jacket should be provided. It is not recommended you travel in a speedboat without this essential safety equipment. It is also recommended that you make your bags as waterproof or water-resistant as possible and wear a rain jacket. The boat can generate quite a bit of spray, plus any showers you might encounter along the way will sting like needles against any exposed skin. On sunny days, sunscreen is invaluable as there is no roof or shade on these speed machines. The journey to Huay Xai can be reduced to as few as 4 hours in the wet season, with a lunch stop at Pak Beng. However, some consider this means of transportation less safe, especially in the dry season. Earplugs are strongly recommended. Those who are concerned about creating as little environmental impact as possible may want avoid speedboats, as they are heavier polluters than the slower options. Travel agents in LP will sell the tickets for 320,000-370,000 kip. You will need a minivan to take you the 10 km north to the fast boat pier. The third option is to take a luxury cruise. The major operators are [http://www.luangsay.com Luang Say], [http://nagiofmekong.com/ Nagi of Mekong], and Shompoo. As of 2009, all operate two-day cruises to Hauy Xai that stop in Pakbeng for the night. Although the journey takes as long as taking the slow boat, these operators offer vastly superior facilities and equipment than public slow boats, and you should be prepared to pay a premium for it. Tickets for all operators can be bought at most travel agents in town. Prices are approximately 220,000 kip for a slowboat, 280,000 kip for a speedboat. 3,000 kip for Luang Say, 1,200 kip for Nagi of Mekong and (both including a night in a hotel) and 640 kip for Shompoo (Nov 2011). There are some reports that prices of Luang Say and Nagi of Mekong can be bargained down. There is no public boat service to Vientiane, but it may be possible to do the trip by private tourist boat when the water levels are high enough.

The morning train continues via [[Muang Xay]] and [[Luang Namtha]] to Boten on the border with China, returning south shortly after midday. Because of Covid, as of Dec 2021 no trains cross the border: the nearby road crossing remains open but there are onerous restrictions on travellers, especially non-citizens. The high speed line continues north to [[Kunming]] but the timetable has not been published. Trains leave Vientiane at 7:50 and 16:05 daily, arriving in Luang Prabang at 9:48 and 18:00 respectively.

Ask your guesthouse host to assist you the day before in preparing if you'd like to get up and give alms in the morning. The alms giving ceremony is one which, while picturesque, is not without its detractors. Unscrupulous local merchants have used the eagerness of tourists to participate in this tradition as a means of making easy money. They sometimes sell unsuitable, stale and even unsafe food, resulting in monks falling ill after having consumed the offerings, Hence the growing resistance to continuing the tradition. The government, however, has made it clear that the monks must continue the custom or be replaced by lay persons clothed in saffron robes in order to keep up appearances, thereby maintaining tourist revenue. If you wish to participate in this ceremony, prepare the food or fruit yourself. Avoid giving food of dodgy quality. Another problem is the rampant photography: while a photo might look nice in your collection, think about how it must feel for the monks to have hundreds of tourists photographing them every day. Some lowlifes even stand next to the monks, blinding them with flashbulbs. Consider watching this old tradition from a distance instead of degrading it. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=Royal Palace | alt=Haw Kham;ຫໍຄຳ | url= | email= | address= | lat=19.8921 | long=102.1356 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours=08:00-11:30 and 13:30-16:00 | price=30,000 kip | wikidata=Q3361219 | content=The former royal palace, now a national museum.

You can also rent a motorbike to transport yourself there. There are food and tourist stalls outside the waterfalls. It is worth putting a whole day aside (or more) for seeing these because they are a great place to relax and meet other travellers. There are multiple pools at different levels, all of which are reportedly safe to bathe in, and are extremely picturesque. Shared tuk-tuks charge about 30,000-50,000 kip (cheapest seems to be near slow boat pier, though you can get them for 40,000 kip near Joma Bakery). You may have to wait until the tuk-tuk fills up. Tuk-tuks are legally only allowed to take six people, and there is a checkpoint at the falls, so some drivers may try to get a 7th person in the front seat. Private tuk-tuk will cost you at least 150,000 kip, but you will need to bargain for some time; don't hesitate to start from 100,000 kip if the driver tells you 150,000 kip. Drivers may try to show you documents that quote 200,000 kip or more depending on driver. Just ignore this and insist. Try to go with 5 people and insist on 30,000 kip each. The driver should wait for 3-4 hours at the waterfall gate area. Make sure your 150,000 kip includes there and back. Bargain, bargain, bargain. Just remember that there are dozens of tuk-tuks around, so you have the advantage. If you lack companions, offer 30,000 kip and wait until he finds more passengers. A seat in a minibus costs 40,000 kip, more if booked through a travel agent. }} [[Image:Kuang Xi Falls.jpg|thumb|300px|Kuang Si Falls, Luang Prabang]] * {{see | name=Pak Ou Caves | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=20.0487 | long=102.2105 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price=20,000 kip | wikipedia=Pak Ou Caves | image=Pak ou caves.JPG | wikidata=Q2671098 | content=The famous "Buddha caves" are north of the city on the Mekong and can be reached by road (approximately 1 hr) or river boat (around 1.5 hr).

There are some ATMs that accept Visa, MasterCard, Maestro and Eurocards. These ATMs are mostly on Sisavangvong Rd near the end of the Night Market. The ATMs dispense currency in Lao kip, and generally allow a maximum withdrawal of 1,000,000 kip with a charge of 20,000 kip. '''Banque Franco-Lao''' allows a maximum withdrawal of 2,000,000 kip with a charge of 40,000 kip. Multiple withdrawals are allowed to a daily maximum of 5,000,000 kip. If you arrive by plane, there is an ATM and a money changer at the airport which is only open for a few hours of the day. Also, their rates are significantly worse than the banks in town. '''Money changers/exchange''' For Malaysians, it is best to change [[Malaysia#Money|ringgit]] to [[Thailand#Money|baht]], then change the baht to kip in Laos. This is because they give not so good rates in Laos for Malaysian ringgit. There are a number of money changers who generally do not offer good rates, and are either on Sisavangvong Rd or in the permanent markets further east. One is next to the ATM near the Night Markets, another is about 50 m further north along the street, in front of one of the first restaurants (looks like a little tollbooth/shack). The rates offered may vary, so shop around before you change. Better maybe to use official money changing services at a bank which are easily found. There are reports of scam by using money changers to take cash advance. They will charge you more in USD with a different exchange rate than posted. Even after complaining it's not possible to cancel the transaction. The '''Night Market''' (on Sisavangvong Road) caters to tourists with every kind of souvenir you could want and closes at about 22:00. Particularly good are the duvet covers, cushion covers, and pillow sets. They can even make one up to your dimensions by the next day. It is well worth a look and the hawkers are very pleasant to deal with and amazingly non-pushy by the standard elsewhere in Asia. Traders range from young children to the elderly who usually make crafts, art, and goods by themselves. Good-natured bargaining is advisable, but don't obsess over this and ruin your experience as well as giving the trader a bad day. The quality and design of goods is lower in the market than in the legions of increasingly chic stores in the city. There may be some souvenirs available made from endangered animals. Avoid buying rare pets, leather, ivory, talons, dried sea creatures (starfish, etc.), fur, feathers, teeth and other animal products.

To spend time comfortably while waiting for the sun to mellow at around 15:30, hang around at the public library across from the National Museum about 4 or 5 buildings down from the US-sponsored reading room. There are old English language newspapers still in circulation. Or better still, surf the net for free from the six Internet stations. == Eat == [[File:DKoehl street market food stall luang prabang.jpg|thumb|300px|Street market noodle food stall at the market in luang prabang]] There are no multi-national fast food outlets in Luang Prabang or Laos, for that matter. Restaurants line Sisavangvong Rd and the roads along the Mekong and Nam Khan. Food runs the gamut from standard SE Asian backpacker fare to more traditional Lao dishes, including buffalo sausage right up to very high quality French cuisine. There are also numerous market stalls for cheaper food, including baguettes, crepes, and pancakes. Stalls along an alleyway between the night market end of Sisavangvong Rd and the Mekong offers superb Lao street food at bargain prices. Grilled salted catfish is available for 15,000 kip per fish, other types of fish for 20,000. For a somewhat spicy salad for about 10,000 kip, look for vendors with containers filled with cucumber, lime, tomato and sliced green papaya, where they will mix it on the spot with mortar and pestle. If you order BBQ meat from one of the vendors opposite the tables, they will heat it up for you over the charcoal, and you can grab a seat at one of the tables to eat. The tables are quite crowded; it is easier to get a seat later in the evening, after 20:30 or so. The entry to the alley is by the vegan restaurant near the food stall end of the night market, near the traffic circle where the tuk-tuk touts hang out. Typical prices for Beerlao is 12,000 kip for a large bottle and 8,000 kip for a small, which generally are standard throughout the country. Most riverside places offer the same prices for beer and similar food, although prices for food can vary wildly. Shop around and don't be shy about asking prices if anything is unclear. Probably the most recommended food is the Lao version of fried spring roll, vegetable at 3,000 kip or pork at 5,000 kip per piece. Be careful of buying the bundles of dried seafood snack if you have the knack for it, the texture is like chewing salty paper. '''Local specialities''' include: *French baguettes and other bakery items. Generally very good. *Local watercress which is very peppery. *Fried dried seaweed with sesame seeds dipped in a chili sauce. *Buffalo steaks and sausages. *Luang Prabang Khao Soi: spicy clear mince and noodle soup which is very different from the Chiang Mai version ===Cafes and restaurants=== * {{eat | name=Bamboo Garden Restaurant | url= | email= | address= | lat=19.88665 | long=102.13869 | directions=opposite Wat Visoun | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= 08:00-23:00 | price= 15-30,000 kip | content=Cheap Lao food.

The liveliest and busiest bars are in a small cluster between Mt Phousi and the Nam Khong. Luang Prabang's status means that curfews are strictly enforced here. Bars start winding down at 23:00 and close at 23:30 sharp. The only late-night options permitted are outside the main part of town, a discothèque patronised mostly by locals and bizarrely, a ten pin bowling alley. If you do plan on staying out after hours, check the arrangements with your guesthouse first to avoid being locked out. If you're simply looking to relax and enjoy the river views, most riverside restaurants have tables outside where you can sit back with a beer or two. * {{drink | name=Books and Tea L'Etranger | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=Downstairs is a book shop/swap and upstairs is a bar selling drinks and cake in a room covered in cushions for lazing around and reading.

There is everything from tent sites under a roof for 20,000 kip per night up to super luxury at USD1,500 per night. Don't expect though that the whole kit and caboodle that you can find in Vietnam or Cambodia, air-con, cable TV, Internet, can be found in LP for USD12. While the big chains have yet to make an appearance, there's plenty of "boutique" accommodation, although this heavily overused word runs the gamut from quirky to luxury. Most of the lanes and alleys all through Luang Prabang have places to stay, with a large selection also found in the lanes south of the Post Office. Free Wi-Fi is quite common in budget guesthouses. ===Budget=== * {{sleep | name=Chitlathda Guesthouse | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | fax= | hours= | price=From 40,000 kip | content=Has two wings with decent clean doubles 40,000 kip.

Lucknow thrives along the banks of Gomti river. The city along with the rest of Awadh fell to the British during the colonial era. Today, Lucknow is dotted with remnants of its rich cultural past. Lucknow is known for its elaborate cuisine and ''chikankaari'' or exquisite shadow-work embroidery on fine muslin cloth. ==Understand== {{Climate| |janhigh = 22.5 |janlow = 7.5 |janprecip = 20.2 |febhigh = 25.8 |feblow = 9.8 |febprecip = 16 |marhigh = 32 |marlow = 14.5 |marprecip = 10 |aprhigh = 38 |aprlow = 20.5 |aprprecip = 5 |mayhigh = 40 |maylow = 24.6 |mayprecip = 100.6 |junhigh = 38.4 |junlow = 26.7 |junprecip = 122.9 |julhigh = 33.9 |jullow = 26 |julprecip = 511.2 |aughigh = 33.2 |auglow = 25.6 |augprecip = 320.5 |sephigh = 33.1 |seplow = 24.1 |sepprecip = 211.5 |octhigh = 32.8 |octlow = 19.1 |octprecip = 105.9 |novhigh = 29.2 |novlow = 12.8 |novprecip = 7.4 |dechigh = 24.6 |declow = 8.4 |decprecip = 12.6 |description=Source: [[w:Lucknow#Climate|Wikipedia]] }} Lucknow is a historically important city and for many centuries was at the heart of North Indian culture. In particular, the city was famous for its ''adab'' and ''tehzeeb'' (manners and etiquette), intricate embroidery, beautiful gardens and dance forms such as ''kathak''. It was also one of the sites of the 1857 Indian Mutiny (or First War of Indian Independence). The Hindi spoken in Lucknow is considered the most beautiful and gentle in the country. The city has a population of around 3.4 million. Lucknow is the heart of the art, cuisine, dance, culture and music of Northern India. It was the cradle of the Hindu-Muslim-symbiosis that was the epitome of India for hundreds of years. it brought in the best of various cultures and accepted Western institutions like La Martiniere College in her womb. It was made famous by the soft-spoken, and sweet tongued, Awadh-Lucknowai culture that was based on ''civilised behaviour'' toward fellow human beings. Lucknow is the home of [[Urdu phrasebook|Urdu]], Hindustani and [[Hindi phrasebook|Hindi]] languages. The city became known as a centre for Urdu poetry and courtly presence and diction, being the birthplace and city of residence for many poets. The Mushaira, an event of poetry recitation forms the heart of Lucknow's nightlife where Mushairas go on into the wee hours of the night. Lucknow's only rival in Northern India was [[Delhi]], though Lucknowies were always embroiled in a healthy rivalry with Delhi, home of the famous poet Ghalib and others. Lucknow is also famous for its sweetmeat, the sweet shops in the old city dates to 1850s. Awadhi and Mughlai food is the delight of the visitors to Lucknow. Another thing that may surprise visitors are the ubiquitous posters, billboards and signs boasting of great progress and bearing the picture of Mayawati. She is the former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh state and is quite controversial. Labeled by some as the "Dalit Queen," she has received criticism for misuse of public funds and abuse of power. She has spent millions of rupees on massive public works projects such as the Ambedkar Memorial (see below) which opposition leaders see as a waste. No matter who you speak to in Lucknow, everyone will have an opinion about her, and it's an excellent conversation starter. ==Get in== [[File:CCS_International_Airport.jpg|thumb|Chaudhary Charan Singh Airport]] ===By plane=== * {{listing | type=go | name=Chaudhary Charan Singh Airport | alt={{IATA|LKO}}, formerly Amausi Airport | url=https://www.aai.aero/en/airports/lucknow | email=fapdlko@aai.aero | address= | lat=26.761944 | long=80.883333 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Chaudhary Charan Singh Airport | image=CCS International Airport.jpg | wikidata=Q2672666 | content=The airport has daily flights from [[Delhi]], [[Mumbai]], [[Kolkata]] and [[Patna]], as well as direct flights to [[Bangalore]], [[Sharjah]], [[Jeddah]], [[Muscat]], [[Dehradun]], [[Indore]], [[Pune]], [[Goa]] and [[Varanasi]].

Although very little remains to be seen on the surface, Memphis features a great sculpture museum, in the Mit Rahina village some {{km|24}} south of the modern Egyptian capital of [[Cairo]]. It allows an evocative insight into both ancient greatness (its transitory nature!) and modern Egyptian rural life. ==Understand== The ancient Egyptian capital of Memphis (Men-Nefer, ''enduring and beautiful'') was first established towards the end of the 4th millennium BC by the Pharaoh Narmer, at the time of his Unification of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. The boundary between the Two Lands was exactly here in ancient times, and its foundation was therefore imbued with a great amount of political symbolism. Memphis remained the capital of Egypt during the Old Kingdom period, at the time when [[Giza|the great Pyramids]] were being built. Central power shifted to the south by the Middle Kingdom times, but returned to the city when the New Kingdom pharaohs made it once again Egypt's northern and main administrative capital, alongside the religious and ceremonial capital at [[Luxor]] in the south. Memphis was the chief cult city of the Egyptian god of wisdom and craftsmanship, Ptah, whose great temple, Het-ka-Ptah (meaning "Enclosure of the ka of Ptah"), was one of the most prominent structures in the city. Its name, rendered in Greek as Aί γυ πτoς (Ai-gy-ptos) by the historian Manetho, is believed to be the etymological origin of the modern English name Egypt. Although little remains of this temple today, having been ravaged by the depredations of time, the flood plain environment and the cannibalism of its stone for the building of medieval Cairo, the pharaohs and priests of Ptah once endowed the city with vast temple complexes and built their cemeteries on the desert hills adjoining it to the east and (especially!) to the west. Today "Memphis and its Necropolis" are inscribed on the [[UNESCO World Heritage List]]. ==Get in== {{mapframe|zoom=13|layer=W}} ===By taxi / cab=== By far the easiest way of visiting the Memphis open-air museum is to hire a taxi for the day - a visit to the city can best be combined with visits to [[Saqqara]] and other nearby sites. A taxi from downtown Cairo to take you to Memphis, wait an hour, and return to Cairo will be around 200 LE. Tickets to get into the museum cost 35 LE. ==See== * {{see | name=Colossus of Ramses II | url= | email= | address= | lat=29.8446781 | long=31.25059 | directions=inside the Memphis open-air museum | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= |wikidata= | content=A pair of {{m|10}}-tall statues of Ramses II were discovered in 1820 by Giovanni Caviglia, at the southern end of the temple of Ptah. One of the statues is now lying down under a small roof inside the museum, near where they were discovered. Its twin is now at the Grand Egyptian Museum of Giza, set to open by late 2020. }} ==Get around== On foot, the museum is tiny. ==Buy== Prices here are about the triple of the same products at the Khan-el-Kalili. ==Eat, Drink, Sleep== There's a small rest-house across the road from the museum - beware the notoriously inflated prices. Best to bring drinks and snacks with you from your accommodation base.

Before the introduction of the metric system, there was no worldwide standard in measurements, and every geographic region or country used their own system. Some of these historic measurement systems are still in use, for example variations of the old '''English system''' (or its descendants '''U.S. customary''' and the '''imperial system''') of weights and measures survive in various forms in the [[United States]], [[United Kingdom]], [[Bahamas]], [[Ireland]], [[Canada]] and [[Liberia]], while [[Myanmar]] still plows its own furrow. In all these countries except for the U.S., the metric system is widely understood. In the U.S., you'll find the metric system only used in scientific, military, and most medical contexts, while in the UK and Canada, usage is more mixed. In scientific usage, the metric system is used exclusively in all countries of the world. Some countries that are officially metric use non-standard units in everyday speech. While most of them are "metricated" (e.g. a German ''Pfund'' ("pound") being exactly 500 grams or a Dutch ''ons'' ("ounce") being exactly 100 grams), some are not, and the vague definitions of what exactly is meant by a "pound" or a ''vara'' ("rod", a Latin American unit of distance, somewhere between 0.8 and 1.1 m) give you a sense of the confusion that led to the introduction of the metric system in the first place. Canada is also officially fully metricated, though imperial units continue to be widely used by Anglophone Canadians in daily conversation. Ireland switched to metric beginning in the 1970s and is now fully metric in daily use, though the imperial system still survives to varying extents in colloquial usage. In the rest of the Anglosphere ([[Australia]], [[Guyana]], [[New Zealand]] or [[South Africa]]), imperial units won't get you anywhere. Some special uses still apply non-metric units almost globally (such as ''inches'' for bicycles and television sets, ''feet'' in aviation, and ''knots'' and ''nautical miles'' in maritime contexts and aviation), although few are of interest to the average traveller. Since use of the metric system is taught in schools in science classes, younger generations in most of the world exclusively know metric units, and historic units gradually die out. When traveling in [[the Netherlands]] for example, the elderly may still use ''ons'' (ounce) in spoken language meaning 100 grams, but teenagers won't have any idea what they are talking about. The most notable exception to this rule is the United States, where metric units are virtually unknown to the average person in the street, and would likely only be understood if you are lucky enough to meet a doctor or scientist. Exceptions exist in fields where particular units are well established. Jewelers typically measure the weight of diamonds in ''carat'' (which is 0.2 g), so entering a shop and asking for a diamond ring of 2.4 g will definitely raise some eyebrows. Seafarers and aviators use nautical miles and knots. An example from everyday life is the energy contained in food, which is traditionally measured in ''calories''. Food items will often list the value in ''kcal'' (kilocalories) and metric unit kJ (kilojoules) side by side. There are so many historic units that listing them all on this page would be nearly impossible, and of limited use to the traveler. The goal here is to list the most commonly used historic units and their conversions to metric equivalents to give the traveler a rough idea of quantity. Not all the conversions below are exact, even though the "=" is used. ==Temperature== {{infobox|A Celsius poem|Zero is freezing<br> 10 is not<br> 20 is warm<br> and 30 is hot}} {| style="text-align:right; border:solid gray 1px; margin-bottom:3em; margin:1em auto; padding:3px;" ! °C !! °F !! |- | 40 || 104 | style="text-align:center; border-left:solid red 5px" | sweltering |- | 35 || 95 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid orange 5px" | very hot |- | 30 || 86 |- | 28 || 83 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid yellow 5px" | hot |- | 25 || 77 |- | 23 || 73 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid yellowgreen 5px" | warm |- | 20 || 68 |- | 18 || 64 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid lightgreen 5px" | mild |- | 15 || 59 |- | 10 || 50 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid lightblue 5px" | cool |- | 5 || 41 |- | '''0''' || '''32''' | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:dotted blue 5px" | cold |- | −5 || 23 |- | −10 || 14 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid blue 5px" | very cold |- | '''−18''' || '''0''' |- | −25 || −13 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid grey 5px" | frigid |- | −40 || −40 |} Temperature is among the most relevant of quantities for travellers. Thirty degrees in one scale (i.e. Fahrenheit) is really cold whereas in another scale (i.e Celsius or Centigrade), it can be very hot. Therefore, it is pretty useful to know the equivalents between the two scales, especially if you're from the US or one of the few other countries to use Fahrenheit. For everyday applications (e.g. weather), you can approximate with very simple math. To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, double the number and add 30. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 30 and divide in half. The exact formulas are similar, but are harder to calculate in your head: :<math>Fahrenheit = {(} Celsius \times {1.8} {)} + {32}</math> or :<math>Fahrenheit = {(} Celsius \times {9 \over 5} {)} + {32}</math> And to go the other direction: :<math>Celsius = { {(} Fahrenheit - {32} {)} \over {1.8} }</math> or :<math>Celsius = { {(} Fahrenheit - {32} {)} } \times { 5 \over {9} }</math> <br clear=all> <!--Is the scientific conversion really within the scope of a travel guide?--> ===Comparisons=== {| class="wikitable" |- !

Americans mostly know that a meter is "about a yard", and that yards are used in some sports. * 1 mile (1 mi) = 1,760 yards = 1.6&nbsp;km, or 1&nbsp;km = 0.6 miles ** For mental arithmetic, this gives several useful conversions that are fairly accurate: *** 3 miles = 5&nbsp;km (off by 5%) *** 5 miles = 8&nbsp;km *** 6 miles = 10&nbsp;km (off by 5%) *** 10 miles = 16&nbsp;km * 1 nautical mile = 1.852 km (not used in normal conversation, but standard in air and sea navigation; the "knot", used for speeds in those contexts, is 1 nautical mile per hour). Rounding the nautical mile to 2 km is surprisingly accurate (off by 7.4%). * 1 furlong = 1/8 miles = 220 yards = 201.168&nbsp;m (rarely used in daily life outside of [[Myanmar]], but often used in [[horse racing]]) * There are also other miles, such as the Scandinavian "mil", which is 10 km. German explorers deliberately misleading local leaders on Prussian miles versus English miles (with the former being much larger and unknown to the locals) also played some role in the early colonial history of [[Namibia]] === Comparisons === [[File:Kilometre definition.svg|thumb|The kilometre was originally defined as 1/10,000 of the distance between the North Pole and the Equator measured along the Paris meridian.]] * A credit card is about 0.75 mm thick * 1&nbsp;cm (centimeter) is the width of an average fingernail. * 1 foot is, unsurprisingly, the length of an average man's foot ''in shoes''. 1 foot is slightly more than the long side of a sheet of paper (U.S. letter or A4). * Most adults are between 1.5 and 2 meters tall. * The average person walks 5&nbsp;km/h or 3 miles/hour (without heavy luggage). At that speed, 1&nbsp;km takes 12-15 minutes, and 1 mile takes 20 minutes. * Ten yards are a little less than a yard shy of ten meters. An [[American Football|American football]] field is exactly 100 yards from end zone to end zone, with each end zone being 10 yards deep. In Canadian football, the field is exactly 110 yards between end zones, and the end zones are 20 yards deep. * [[Denver]] (Colorado), [[Johannesburg]] (South Africa) and Volcán Concepción on [[Ometepe]] are roughly at one mile (5280&nbsp;ft or 1600&nbsp;m) altitude. [[Chamonix]] town and [[Katoomba]] are both about a kilometer (3300&nbsp;ft or 1000&nbsp;m) above sea level. Everest is about 8,848&nbsp;m (29,031&nbsp;ft) above sea level while most long-haul passenger airliners fly at an altitude of 9,000&nbsp;m (30,000&nbsp;ft) to 10,500&nbsp;m (35,000&nbsp;ft) above sea level. * Human heights in the U.S., UK, Canada, and Ireland are commonly given in feet and inches, stylized as 6'3" (pronounced as "six three", or "six foot three" when the context is unclear), which would be 190.5 centimeters. The same height could also be stylized "6 ft 3 in". * A marathon is run over 42.195&nbsp;kilometers, or 26&nbsp;miles and 385&nbsp;yards. * The maximum speed limit for legacy rail lines in Germany that the signaling technology allows is 160 km/h or roughly 100 mph * 100 km/h is around 60 mph — in many parts of the world this is the speed limit on highways * Despite what you may have heard, the average length of a step is ''not'' a meter or a yard, an error that likely originates from counting both feet. Step lengths of adults usually fall in the range of 60 to 80 centimeters - on the parade ground, a soldier's pace is 75 cm (30 in). When running, the step grows to be above a meter. ===Driving speed=== [[File:Flickr - Nicholas T - Enduring.jpg|thumb|upright|This speedometer displays mph on the outer circle, and km/h on the inner circle.]] The speed limits in most countries are quoted in kilometres per hour (km/h). The principal exceptions are the United States, Liberia, the United Kingdom and many Caribbean countries, which all use miles per hour (mph). Americans who take their cars to Canada or Mexico and Britons who take their cars to Ireland or the European continent often need to convert between mph and km/h while driving. The symbol for "kilometres per hour" is "km/h", used in most countries regardless of how it is written in full in the local language – for example the Italians use "km/h" even though the Italian for "kilometres per hour" is "chilometri all'ora". The few exceptions are in places such as Malaysia which use "km/j" (with the j that stands for ''jam'', the Malay word for hour) although it is unlikely to cause much confusion. Many (but not all) modern cars in these countries have both mph and km/h scales on their speedometers. Some cars that use an LED display for a speedometer can change between mph and km/h by changing a setting. If not, an easy conversion is to remember the sequence. <gallery heights="50" widths="50"> File:Vienna_Convention_road_sign_C14-V1-20.svg File:Vienna_Convention_road_sign_C14-V1-30.svg File:Vienna_Convention_road_sign_C14-V1-50.svg File:Vienna_Convention_road_sign_C14-V1-80.svg File:Vienna_Convention_road_sign_C14-V1-130.svg </gallery> This sequence means that *20 mph ≈ 30 km/h *30 mph ≈ 50 km/h *50 mph ≈ 80 km/h *80 mph ≈ 130 km/h ==Weight== [[File:Tomatos Price Per Pound.jpg|thumb|USA tomatoes: $2.49 per pound (≈ $5.49 per kilogram)]] * 1&nbsp;kilogram (1 kg) ≈ 2.2 pounds * 1 ounce (1 oz) ≈ 28.35 grams * 1 pound (1 lb) = 16 ounces ≈ 454 grams * 1 stone (1 st) = 14 pounds ≈ 6.35 kg (used in the UK and Ireland) Some food in some countries is sold per 100 g (hectogram), i.e. about ¼ lb or 4 oz. A ''Troy ounce'', customarily used only for precious metals and gemstones, is approximately 31.1 grams. The ''jin'' (斤) or catty, a Chinese unit of weight, was traditionally approximately 600 grams, though in mainland [[China]] it is now exactly 500 grams. The jin was traditionally divided into 16 ''liang'' (兩) or taels, though in modern China it is now 10 liang. In [[Germany]] and [[France]] the pound (''Pfund'' or ''livre'') likewise nowadays refers to a weight of exactly 500 g. Both the U.S. and the UK have their own version of the hundredweight (cwt) and the ton (t). The imperial hundredweight is 8 stone (112 pounds), while the U.S. hundredweight is 100 pounds, and a ton is 20 hundredweights in both systems. This means that the U.S. ton is 2000 pounds (about 907.18 kg), while the imperial ton is 160 stone (2240 pounds, about 1016.05 kg). The metric ton (UK: "tonne") is 1000 kg. ==Surface area== * 1 square inch (in²) ≈ 6.5 square centimeters (cm²). * 1 square meter (m²) ≈ 11 square feet * 1 hectare (ha) = 10,000&nbsp;m² ≈ 2.5 acres * 1 square kilometer (km²) = 100 ha ≈ 0.4 square miles. In [[Greece]], 1000m² is called ''stremma''. ===Comparisons=== * An association football (soccer) pitch is roughly one hectare in area. * In the U.S., two of that country's states are often used for nation-sized objects, depending on the area being compared: ** [[Rhode Island]], the smallest state by area, has a surface area of 1,214 square miles or 3,140 square kilometers. ** [[Texas]], the largest by area of the contiguous states, has a surface area of 268,601 square miles or 695,670 square kilometers. * [[Wales]], commonly used for such comparisons in the UK, has an area of 8,023 square miles or 20,779 km². ==Volume== [[File:Volles Pint-Glas.jpg|thumb|upright|A full pint glass]] The standard metric unit of volume is the liter (spelled as "litre" in all of the English-speaking world except for the U.S.). Many things, however, are measured in mL (milliliters) or equivalently in cc (cubic centimeters). Roughly, a teaspoon is 5mL and a fluid ounce (depending on the system) is a little under 30mL. In both the U.S. and imperial systems, 4 quarts = 1 gallon and 2 pints = 1 quart '''but''' the U.S. pint is divided into 16 fluid ounces while the imperial pint is divided into 20 fluid ounces. An imperial gallon is 4.55&nbsp;litres and a U.S. gallon is 3.79&nbsp;liters while an imperial fluid ounce is 28.125&nbsp;mL and a U.S. fluid ounce is 29.5&nbsp;mL. For car and motorcycle engines, displacement is usually given in cc or in liters. American cars used to have their displacement measured in cubic inches, but car manufacturers switched to liters in the early 1980s. 1000cc or one liter is 61 cubic inches. Large amounts of liquids are sometimes measured in hectoliters equivalent to hundred liters or in cubic meters equivalent to a thousand liters. A small brewery might e.g. state their beer production to be below 100 hectoliters while a municipal water service will likely bill you in cubic meters. For very large volumes, the U.S. also uses acre-feet. ===Comparisons=== * 1 L of water weighs 1 kg at 4°C. Since many liquids (milk, orange juice) are sold in liter containers, it is easy to judge 1 L or 1 kg. * 1 L is equivalent to a cube 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm. * One U.S. pint of water weighs one pound * One Imperial gallon of water weighs ten pounds * One fluid ounce of water weighs one ounce * 1 cubic meter (1 m³) = 1000 liters. 1 m³ of water weighs 1,000 kg = 1 tonne. * In Europe and many parts of Canada, wine is usually sold in 750 mL (0.75 L) bottles (occasionally 700 mL or 1 L). * 12 fl. oz. (common size for beer bottles in the Americas) is roughly equivalent to 355 milliliters, more or less the same as a "small" European beer at 333 mL (a third of a liter) * One imperial pint (a common serving size for draught beer in the UK, Ireland and Canada) is 568.26125 milliliters (exactly) or roughly 10% more than a big (or regular depending on whom you ask) "continental" European beer at 500 mL. * The fuel tank on a small family car (e.g. Volkswagen Golf or Toyota Corolla) typically has a capacity of 50 L or 13 US gallons. * One acre-foot (in the U.S. commonly cited as a rough estimate for a family's yearly water needs) is equivalent to roughly 1233 m³ ==Wind speed== Wind speed is usually given in m/s, knots, km/h or mph, depending on country and context. 1 m/s = 2 knots (exactly in this context). 1 knot is 1 nautical mile per hour, which is about 1.15 mph. For km/h: divide by two to get knots (actually 1.852) or mph (actually 1.609), by four (3.6) to get m/s. The Beaufort scale was in wide use before, and winds are still often classified according to it.

The SI unit for energy is joule (J), where 1 J = 1 W · 1 s. The alternative units are horsepower (hp) and calories (cal), both still used in some contexts even in countries where metric units dominate. Often thousands of watts, joules and calories are used; particularly in a dietary context, "calories" is often used for what scientists would call "kilocalories". Electrical energy usage is sometimes measured in kilowatt-hours, where 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ. Horsepower is an approximation of what power a horse can deliver on average in long-time work, such as pumping water out of a mine, as measured by James Watt. The horsepower has several definitions (depending on what units they are based on), the main ones being the mechanical or imperial horsepower (about 0.746 kW) and the metric horsepower (about 0.735 kW). For engines the figures vary also depending on what power is measured: to what extent friction in the motor and transmission as well as other factors are included. One calorie is defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. A human needs about 2,000 or 2,600 kcal i.e. 8,400 or 10,900 kJ a day (woman/man), with everyday activities and walking 2–5 km (1.5–3 mi). The figures vary significantly with age, weight and activity. * 1 hp = 0.735 kW ≈ 3/4 kW (2% off) *: or 0.746 kW ≈ 3/4 kW (0.5% off) * 1 kW = 1.360 hp (metric) *: or 1.341 hp (imperial) * 1 kcal ≈ 4.2 kJ ≈ 4 kJ (<5% off) * 1 kJ ≈ 0.24 kcal ≈ 1/4 kcal ==Metric units== The metric system uses prefixes to indicate a multiple or fraction of a base unit (i.e. metre, gram, litre, etc.). The most common prefixes are listed below. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Prefix !! Multiplier |- | tera- (T) || 1,000,000,000,000 (trillion) |- | giga- (G) || 1,000,000,000 (billion) |- | mega- (M) || 1,000,000 (million) |- | kilo- (k) || 1,000 (thousand) |- | hecto- (h) || 100 (hundred) |- | deca- (da) || 10 (ten) |- | deci- (d) || 0.1 (tenth) |- | centi- (c) || 0.01 (hundredth) |- | milli- (m) || 0.001 (thousandth) |- | micro- (μ) || 0.000001 (millionth) |- | nano- (n) || 0.000000001 (billionth) |} == Miscellaneous == If you prefer not to do any maths at all, there are websites and apps that may be of use. For instance, major weather websites and apps have an option to allow you to display the relevant measures (e.g. temperature, wind speeds) in metric or imperial units. Smartphones have internal apps that help you convert between metric and imperial measurements. == See also == * [[Clothing sizes]] {{PartOfTopic|Concerns}} {{guidetopic}} diw3yjhcs8r0iyfmdkzueei4657tdrl 4496055 4496053 2022-08-06T11:42:27Z Martinvl 212484 /* Volume */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|WV banner Imperial units.jpg|ftt=yes}} Almost all countries in the world use the '''metric system''', officially known as the '''International System of Units (SI)'''. Before the introduction of the metric system, there was no worldwide standard in measurements, and every geographic region or country used their own system. Some of these historic measurement systems are still in use, for example variations of the old '''English system''' (or its descendants '''U.S. customary''' and the '''imperial system''') of weights and measures survive in various forms in the [[United States]], [[United Kingdom]], [[Bahamas]], [[Ireland]], [[Canada]] and [[Liberia]], while [[Myanmar]] still plows its own furrow. In all these countries except for the U.S., the metric system is widely understood. In the U.S., you'll find the metric system only used in scientific, military, and most medical contexts, while in the UK and Canada, usage is more mixed. In scientific usage, the metric system is used exclusively in all countries of the world. Some countries that are officially metric use non-standard units in everyday speech. While most of them are "metricated" (e.g. a German ''Pfund'' ("pound") being exactly 500 grams or a Dutch ''ons'' ("ounce") being exactly 100 grams), some are not, and the vague definitions of what exactly is meant by a "pound" or a ''vara'' ("rod", a Latin American unit of distance, somewhere between 0.8 and 1.1 m) give you a sense of the confusion that led to the introduction of the metric system in the first place. Canada is also officially fully metricated, though imperial units continue to be widely used by Anglophone Canadians in daily conversation. Ireland switched to metric beginning in the 1970s and is now fully metric in daily use, though the imperial system still survives to varying extents in colloquial usage. In the rest of the Anglosphere ([[Australia]], [[Guyana]], [[New Zealand]] or [[South Africa]]), imperial units won't get you anywhere. Some special uses still apply non-metric units almost globally (such as ''inches'' for bicycles and television sets, ''feet'' in aviation, and ''knots'' and ''nautical miles'' in maritime contexts and aviation), although few are of interest to the average traveller. Since use of the metric system is taught in schools in science classes, younger generations in most of the world exclusively know metric units, and historic units gradually die out. When traveling in [[the Netherlands]] for example, the elderly may still use ''ons'' (ounce) in spoken language meaning 100 grams, but teenagers won't have any idea what they are talking about. The most notable exception to this rule is the United States, where metric units are virtually unknown to the average person in the street, and would likely only be understood if you are lucky enough to meet a doctor or scientist. Exceptions exist in fields where particular units are well established. Jewelers typically measure the weight of diamonds in ''carat'' (which is 0.2 g), so entering a shop and asking for a diamond ring of 2.4 g will definitely raise some eyebrows. Seafarers and aviators use nautical miles and knots. An example from everyday life is the energy contained in food, which is traditionally measured in ''calories''. Food items will often list the value in ''kcal'' (kilocalories) and metric unit kJ (kilojoules) side by side. There are so many historic units that listing them all on this page would be nearly impossible, and of limited use to the traveler. The goal here is to list the most commonly used historic units and their conversions to metric equivalents to give the traveler a rough idea of quantity. Not all the conversions below are exact, even though the "=" is used. ==Temperature== {{infobox|A Celsius poem|Zero is freezing<br> 10 is not<br> 20 is warm<br> and 30 is hot}} {| style="text-align:right; border:solid gray 1px; margin-bottom:3em; margin:1em auto; padding:3px;" ! °C !! °F !! |- | 40 || 104 | style="text-align:center; border-left:solid red 5px" | sweltering |- | 35 || 95 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid orange 5px" | very hot |- | 30 || 86 |- | 28 || 83 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid yellow 5px" | hot |- | 25 || 77 |- | 23 || 73 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid yellowgreen 5px" | warm |- | 20 || 68 |- | 18 || 64 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid lightgreen 5px" | mild |- | 15 || 59 |- | 10 || 50 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid lightblue 5px" | cool |- | 5 || 41 |- | '''0''' || '''32''' | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:dotted blue 5px" | cold |- | −5 || 23 |- | −10 || 14 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid blue 5px" | very cold |- | '''−18''' || '''0''' |- | −25 || −13 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid grey 5px" | frigid |- | −40 || −40 |} Temperature is among the most relevant of quantities for travellers. Thirty degrees in one scale (i.e. Fahrenheit) is really cold whereas in another scale (i.e Celsius or Centigrade), it can be very hot. Therefore, it is pretty useful to know the equivalents between the two scales, especially if you're from the US or one of the few other countries to use Fahrenheit. For everyday applications (e.g. weather), you can approximate with very simple math. To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, double the number and add 30. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 30 and divide in half. The exact formulas are similar, but are harder to calculate in your head: :<math>Fahrenheit = {(} Celsius \times {1.8} {)} + {32}</math> or :<math>Fahrenheit = {(} Celsius \times {9 \over 5} {)} + {32}</math> And to go the other direction: :<math>Celsius = { {(} Fahrenheit - {32} {)} \over {1.8} }</math> or :<math>Celsius = { {(} Fahrenheit - {32} {)} } \times { 5 \over {9} }</math> <br clear=all> <!--Is the scientific conversion really within the scope of a travel guide?--> ===Comparisons=== {| class="wikitable" |- !

Americans mostly know that a meter is "about a yard", and that yards are used in some sports. * 1 mile (1 mi) = 1,760 yards = 1.6&nbsp;km, or 1&nbsp;km = 0.6 miles ** For mental arithmetic, this gives several useful conversions that are fairly accurate: *** 3 miles = 5&nbsp;km (off by 5%) *** 5 miles = 8&nbsp;km *** 6 miles = 10&nbsp;km (off by 5%) *** 10 miles = 16&nbsp;km * 1 nautical mile = 1.852 km (not used in normal conversation, but standard in air and sea navigation; the "knot", used for speeds in those contexts, is 1 nautical mile per hour). Rounding the nautical mile to 2 km is surprisingly accurate (off by 7.4%). * 1 furlong = 1/8 miles = 220 yards = 201.168&nbsp;m (rarely used in daily life outside of [[Myanmar]], but often used in [[horse racing]]) * There are also other miles, such as the Scandinavian "mil", which is 10 km. German explorers deliberately misleading local leaders on Prussian miles versus English miles (with the former being much larger and unknown to the locals) also played some role in the early colonial history of [[Namibia]] === Comparisons === [[File:Kilometre definition.svg|thumb|The kilometre was originally defined as 1/10,000 of the distance between the North Pole and the Equator measured along the Paris meridian.]] * A credit card is about 0.75 mm thick * 1&nbsp;cm (centimeter) is the width of an average fingernail. * 1 foot is, unsurprisingly, the length of an average man's foot ''in shoes''. 1 foot is slightly more than the long side of a sheet of paper (U.S. letter or A4). * Most adults are between 1.5 and 2 meters tall. * The average person walks 5&nbsp;km/h or 3 miles/hour (without heavy luggage). At that speed, 1&nbsp;km takes 12-15 minutes, and 1 mile takes 20 minutes. * Ten yards are a little less than a yard shy of ten meters. An [[American Football|American football]] field is exactly 100 yards from end zone to end zone, with each end zone being 10 yards deep. In Canadian football, the field is exactly 110 yards between end zones, and the end zones are 20 yards deep. * [[Denver]] (Colorado), [[Johannesburg]] (South Africa) and Volcán Concepción on [[Ometepe]] are roughly at one mile (5280&nbsp;ft or 1600&nbsp;m) altitude. [[Chamonix]] town and [[Katoomba]] are both about a kilometer (3300&nbsp;ft or 1000&nbsp;m) above sea level. Everest is about 8,848&nbsp;m (29,031&nbsp;ft) above sea level while most long-haul passenger airliners fly at an altitude of 9,000&nbsp;m (30,000&nbsp;ft) to 10,500&nbsp;m (35,000&nbsp;ft) above sea level. * Human heights in the U.S., UK, Canada, and Ireland are commonly given in feet and inches, stylized as 6'3" (pronounced as "six three", or "six foot three" when the context is unclear), which would be 190.5 centimeters. The same height could also be stylized "6 ft 3 in". * A marathon is run over 42.195&nbsp;kilometers, or 26&nbsp;miles and 385&nbsp;yards. * The maximum speed limit for legacy rail lines in Germany that the signaling technology allows is 160 km/h or roughly 100 mph * 100 km/h is around 60 mph — in many parts of the world this is the speed limit on highways * Despite what you may have heard, the average length of a step is ''not'' a meter or a yard, an error that likely originates from counting both feet. Step lengths of adults usually fall in the range of 60 to 80 centimeters - on the parade ground, a soldier's pace is 75 cm (30 in). When running, the step grows to be above a meter. ===Driving speed=== [[File:Flickr - Nicholas T - Enduring.jpg|thumb|upright|This speedometer displays mph on the outer circle, and km/h on the inner circle.]] The speed limits in most countries are quoted in kilometres per hour (km/h). The principal exceptions are the United States, Liberia, the United Kingdom and many Caribbean countries, which all use miles per hour (mph). Americans who take their cars to Canada or Mexico and Britons who take their cars to Ireland or the European continent often need to convert between mph and km/h while driving. The symbol for "kilometres per hour" is "km/h", used in most countries regardless of how it is written in full in the local language – for example the Italians use "km/h" even though the Italian for "kilometres per hour" is "chilometri all'ora". The few exceptions are in places such as Malaysia which use "km/j" (with the j that stands for ''jam'', the Malay word for hour) although it is unlikely to cause much confusion. Many (but not all) modern cars in these countries have both mph and km/h scales on their speedometers. Some cars that use an LED display for a speedometer can change between mph and km/h by changing a setting. If not, an easy conversion is to remember the sequence. <gallery heights="50" widths="50"> File:Vienna_Convention_road_sign_C14-V1-20.svg File:Vienna_Convention_road_sign_C14-V1-30.svg File:Vienna_Convention_road_sign_C14-V1-50.svg File:Vienna_Convention_road_sign_C14-V1-80.svg File:Vienna_Convention_road_sign_C14-V1-130.svg </gallery> This sequence means that *20 mph ≈ 30 km/h *30 mph ≈ 50 km/h *50 mph ≈ 80 km/h *80 mph ≈ 130 km/h ==Weight== [[File:Tomatos Price Per Pound.jpg|thumb|USA tomatoes: $2.49 per pound (≈ $5.49 per kilogram)]] * 1&nbsp;kilogram (1 kg) ≈ 2.2 pounds * 1 ounce (1 oz) ≈ 28.35 grams * 1 pound (1 lb) = 16 ounces ≈ 454 grams * 1 stone (1 st) = 14 pounds ≈ 6.35 kg (used in the UK and Ireland) Some food in some countries is sold per 100 g (hectogram), i.e. about ¼ lb or 4 oz. A ''Troy ounce'', customarily used only for precious metals and gemstones, is approximately 31.1 grams. The ''jin'' (斤) or catty, a Chinese unit of weight, was traditionally approximately 600 grams, though in mainland [[China]] it is now exactly 500 grams. The jin was traditionally divided into 16 ''liang'' (兩) or taels, though in modern China it is now 10 liang. In [[Germany]] and [[France]] the pound (''Pfund'' or ''livre'') likewise nowadays refers to a weight of exactly 500 g. Both the U.S. and the UK have their own version of the hundredweight (cwt) and the ton (t). The imperial hundredweight is 8 stone (112 pounds), while the U.S. hundredweight is 100 pounds, and a ton is 20 hundredweights in both systems. This means that the U.S. ton is 2000 pounds (about 907.18 kg), while the imperial ton is 160 stone (2240 pounds, about 1016.05 kg). The metric ton (UK: "tonne") is 1000 kg. ==Surface area== * 1 square inch (in²) ≈ 6.5 square centimeters (cm²). * 1 square meter (m²) ≈ 11 square feet * 1 hectare (ha) = 10,000&nbsp;m² ≈ 2.5 acres * 1 square kilometer (km²) = 100 ha ≈ 0.4 square miles. In [[Greece]], 1000m² is called ''stremma''. ===Comparisons=== * An association football (soccer) pitch is roughly one hectare in area. * In the U.S., two of that country's states are often used for nation-sized objects, depending on the area being compared: ** [[Rhode Island]], the smallest state by area, has a surface area of 1,214 square miles or 3,140 square kilometers. ** [[Texas]], the largest by area of the contiguous states, has a surface area of 268,601 square miles or 695,670 square kilometers. * [[Wales]], commonly used for such comparisons in the UK, has an area of 8,023 square miles or 20,779 km². ==Volume== [[File:Volles Pint-Glas.jpg|thumb|upright|A full pint glass]] The standard metric unit of volume is the liter (spelled as "litre" in all of the English-speaking world except for the U.S.). Many things, however, are measured in mL (milliliters) or equivalently in cc (cubic centimeters). Roughly, a teaspoon is 5mL and a fluid ounce (depending on the system) is a little under 30mL. In both the U.S. and imperial systems, 4 quarts = 1 gallon and 2 pints = 1 quart '''but''' the U.S. pint is divided into 16 fluid ounces while the imperial pint is divided into 20 fluid ounces. An imperial gallon is 4.55&nbsp;litres and a U.S. gallon is 3.79&nbsp;liters while an imperial fluid ounce is 28.125&nbsp;mL and a U.S. fluid ounce is 29.5&nbsp;mL. For car and motorcycle engines, displacement is usually given in cc or in liters. American cars used to have their displacement measured in cubic inches, but car manufacturers switched to liters in the early 1980s. 1000cc or one liter is 61 cubic inches. Large amounts of liquids are sometimes measured in hectoliters equivalent to hundred liters or in cubic meters equivalent to a thousand liters. A small brewery might e.g. state their beer production to be below 100 hectoliters while a municipal water service will likely bill you in cubic meters. For very large volumes, the U.S. also uses acre-feet (approx 1233&nbsp;m³). ===Comparisons=== * 1 L of water weighs 1 kg at 4°C. Since many liquids (milk, orange juice) are sold in liter containers, it is easy to judge 1 L or 1 kg. * 1 L is equivalent to a cube 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm. * One U.S. pint of water weighs one pound * One Imperial gallon of water weighs ten pounds * One fluid ounce of water weighs one ounce * 1 cubic meter (1 m³) = 1000 liters. 1 m³ of water weighs 1,000 kg = 1 tonne. * In Europe and many parts of Canada, wine is usually sold in 750 mL (0.75 L) bottles (occasionally 700 mL or 1 L). * 12 fl. oz. (common size for beer bottles in the Americas) is roughly equivalent to 355 milliliters, more or less the same as a "small" European beer at 333 mL (a third of a liter) * One imperial pint (a common serving size for draught beer in the UK, Ireland and Canada) is 568.26125 milliliters (exactly) or roughly 10% more than a big (or regular depending on whom you ask) "continental" European beer at 500 mL. * The fuel tank on a small family car (e.g. Volkswagen Golf or Toyota Corolla) typically has a capacity of 50 L or 13 US gallons. * One acre-foot (in the U.S. commonly cited as a rough estimate for a family's yearly water needs) is equivalent to roughly 1233 m³ ==Wind speed== Wind speed is usually given in m/s, knots, km/h or mph, depending on country and context. 1 m/s = 2 knots (exactly in this context). 1 knot is 1 nautical mile per hour, which is about 1.15 mph. For km/h: divide by two to get knots (actually 1.852) or mph (actually 1.609), by four (3.6) to get m/s. The Beaufort scale was in wide use before, and winds are still often classified according to it.

The SI unit for energy is joule (J), where 1 J = 1 W · 1 s. The alternative units are horsepower (hp) and calories (cal), both still used in some contexts even in countries where metric units dominate. Often thousands of watts, joules and calories are used; particularly in a dietary context, "calories" is often used for what scientists would call "kilocalories". Electrical energy usage is sometimes measured in kilowatt-hours, where 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ. Horsepower is an approximation of what power a horse can deliver on average in long-time work, such as pumping water out of a mine, as measured by James Watt. The horsepower has several definitions (depending on what units they are based on), the main ones being the mechanical or imperial horsepower (about 0.746 kW) and the metric horsepower (about 0.735 kW). For engines the figures vary also depending on what power is measured: to what extent friction in the motor and transmission as well as other factors are included. One calorie is defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. A human needs about 2,000 or 2,600 kcal i.e. 8,400 or 10,900 kJ a day (woman/man), with everyday activities and walking 2–5 km (1.5–3 mi). The figures vary significantly with age, weight and activity. * 1 hp = 0.735 kW ≈ 3/4 kW (2% off) *: or 0.746 kW ≈ 3/4 kW (0.5% off) * 1 kW = 1.360 hp (metric) *: or 1.341 hp (imperial) * 1 kcal ≈ 4.2 kJ ≈ 4 kJ (<5% off) * 1 kJ ≈ 0.24 kcal ≈ 1/4 kcal ==Metric units== The metric system uses prefixes to indicate a multiple or fraction of a base unit (i.e. metre, gram, litre, etc.). The most common prefixes are listed below. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Prefix !!

Before the introduction of the metric system, there was no worldwide standard in measurements, and every geographic region or country used their own system. Some of these historic measurement systems are still in use, for example variations of the old '''English system''' (or its descendants '''U.S. customary''' and the '''imperial system''') of weights and measures survive in various forms in the [[United States]], [[United Kingdom]], [[Bahamas]], [[Ireland]], [[Canada]] and [[Liberia]], while [[Myanmar]] still plows its own furrow. In all these countries except for the U.S., the metric system is widely understood. In the U.S., you'll find the metric system only used in scientific, military, and most medical contexts, while in the UK and Canada, usage is more mixed. In scientific usage, the metric system is used exclusively in all countries of the world. Some countries that are officially metric use non-standard units in everyday speech. While most of them are "metricated" (e.g. a German ''Pfund'' ("pound") being exactly 500 grams or a Dutch ''ons'' ("ounce") being exactly 100 grams), some are not, and the vague definitions of what exactly is meant by a "pound" or a ''vara'' ("rod", a Latin American unit of distance, somewhere between 0.8 and 1.1 m) give you a sense of the confusion that led to the introduction of the metric system in the first place. Canada is also officially fully metricated, though imperial units continue to be widely used by Anglophone Canadians in daily conversation. Ireland switched to metric beginning in the 1970s and is now fully metric in daily use, though the imperial system still survives to varying extents in colloquial usage. In the rest of the Anglosphere ([[Australia]], [[Guyana]], [[New Zealand]] or [[South Africa]]), imperial units won't get you anywhere. Some special uses still apply non-metric units almost globally (such as ''inches'' for bicycles and television sets, ''feet'' in aviation, and ''knots'' and ''nautical miles'' in maritime contexts and aviation), although few are of interest to the average traveller. Since use of the metric system is taught in schools in science classes, younger generations in most of the world exclusively know metric units, and historic units gradually die out. When traveling in [[the Netherlands]] for example, the elderly may still use ''ons'' (ounce) in spoken language meaning 100 grams, but teenagers won't have any idea what they are talking about. The most notable exception to this rule is the United States, where metric units are virtually unknown to the average person in the street, and would likely only be understood if you are lucky enough to meet a doctor or scientist. Exceptions exist in fields where particular units are well established. Jewelers typically measure the weight of diamonds in ''carat'' (which is 0.2 g), so entering a shop and asking for a diamond ring of 2.4 g will definitely raise some eyebrows. Seafarers and aviators use nautical miles and knots. An example from everyday life is the energy contained in food, which is traditionally measured in ''calories''. Food items will often list the value in ''kcal'' (kilocalories) and metric unit kJ (kilojoules) side by side. There are so many historic units that listing them all on this page would be nearly impossible, and of limited use to the traveler. The goal here is to list the most commonly used historic units and their conversions to metric equivalents to give the traveler a rough idea of quantity. Not all the conversions below are exact, even though the "=" is used. ==Temperature== {{infobox|A Celsius poem|Zero is freezing<br> 10 is not<br> 20 is warm<br> and 30 is hot}} {| style="text-align:right; border:solid gray 1px; margin-bottom:3em; margin:1em auto; padding:3px;" ! °C !! °F !! |- | 40 || 104 | style="text-align:center; border-left:solid red 5px" | sweltering |- | 35 || 95 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid orange 5px" | very hot |- | 30 || 86 |- | 28 || 83 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid yellow 5px" | hot |- | 25 || 77 |- | 23 || 73 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid yellowgreen 5px" | warm |- | 20 || 68 |- | 18 || 64 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid lightgreen 5px" | mild |- | 15 || 59 |- | 10 || 50 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid lightblue 5px" | cool |- | 5 || 41 |- | '''0''' || '''32''' | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:dotted blue 5px" | cold |- | −5 || 23 |- | −10 || 14 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid blue 5px" | very cold |- | '''−18''' || '''0''' |- | −25 || −13 | rowspan="2" style="text-align:center; border-left:solid grey 5px" | frigid |- | −40 || −40 |} Temperature is among the most relevant of quantities for travellers. Thirty degrees in one scale (i.e. Fahrenheit) is really cold whereas in another scale (i.e Celsius or Centigrade), it can be very hot. Therefore, it is pretty useful to know the equivalents between the two scales, especially if you're from the US or one of the few other countries to use Fahrenheit. For everyday applications (e.g. weather), you can approximate with very simple math. To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, double the number and add 30. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 30 and divide in half. The exact formulas are similar, but are harder to calculate in your head: :<math>Fahrenheit = {(} Celsius \times {1.8} {)} + {32}</math> or :<math>Fahrenheit = {(} Celsius \times {9 \over 5} {)} + {32}</math> And to go the other direction: :<math>Celsius = { {(} Fahrenheit - {32} {)} \over {1.8} }</math> or :<math>Celsius = { {(} Fahrenheit - {32} {)} } \times { 5 \over {9} }</math> <br clear=all> <!--Is the scientific conversion really within the scope of a travel guide?--> ===Comparisons=== {| class="wikitable" |- !

[[File:US National Length Meter.JPG|thumb|A closeup of the National Prototype Meter Bar No. 27, given to the U.S. by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in 1889]] <!--- need table of millimeter to inches equivalences appropriate for monthly rainfall amounts here --> * 1 inch (1" (U.S.), 1" or 1 in (UK and Ireland)) = 2.54&nbsp;cm (exact) * 1 foot (1' (U.S.), 1' or 1 ft (UK and Ireland)) = 12 inches = 30&nbsp;cm * 1 yard (1 yd) = 3 feet = 90&nbsp;cm ** Yards are not used as frequently as miles, feet, and inches in the U.S., though they are regularly seen on road signs in the UK. Americans mostly know that a meter is "about a yard", and that yards are used in some sports. * 1 mile (1 mi) = 1,760 yards = 1.6&nbsp;km, or 1&nbsp;km = 0.6 miles ** For mental arithmetic, this gives several useful conversions that are fairly accurate: *** 3 miles = 5&nbsp;km (off by 5%) *** 5 miles = 8&nbsp;km *** 6 miles = 10&nbsp;km (off by 5%) *** 10 miles = 16&nbsp;km * 1 nautical mile = 1.852 km (not used in normal conversation, but standard in air and sea navigation; the "knot", used for speeds in those contexts, is 1 nautical mile per hour). Rounding the nautical mile to 2 km is surprisingly accurate (off by 7.4%). * 1 furlong = 1/8 miles = 220 yards = 201.168&nbsp;m (rarely used in daily life outside of [[Myanmar]], but often used in [[horse racing]]) * There are also other miles, such as the Scandinavian "mil", which is 10 km. German explorers deliberately misleading local leaders on Prussian miles versus English miles (with the former being much larger and unknown to the locals) also played some role in the early colonial history of [[Namibia]] === Comparisons === [[File:Kilometre definition.svg|thumb|The kilometre was originally defined as 1/10,000 of the distance between the North Pole and the Equator measured along the Paris meridian.]] * A credit card is about 0.75 mm thick * 1&nbsp;cm (centimeter) is the width of an average fingernail. * 1 foot is, unsurprisingly, the length of an average man's foot ''in shoes''. 1 foot is slightly more than the long side of a sheet of paper (U.S. letter or A4). * Most adults are between 1.5 and 2 meters tall. * The average person walks 5&nbsp;km/h or 3 miles/hour (without heavy luggage). At that speed, 1&nbsp;km takes 12-15 minutes, and 1 mile takes 20 minutes. * Ten yards are a little less than a yard shy of ten meters. An [[American Football|American football]] field is exactly 100 yards from end zone to end zone, with each end zone being 10 yards deep. In Canadian football, the field is exactly 110 yards between end zones, and the end zones are 20 yards deep. * [[Denver]] (Colorado), [[Johannesburg]] (South Africa) and Volcán Concepción on [[Ometepe]] are roughly at one mile (5280&nbsp;ft or 1600&nbsp;m) altitude. [[Chamonix]] town and [[Katoomba]] are both about a kilometer (3300&nbsp;ft or 1000&nbsp;m) above sea level. Everest is about 8,848&nbsp;m (29,031&nbsp;ft) above sea level while most long-haul passenger airliners fly at an altitude of 9,000&nbsp;m (30,000&nbsp;ft) to 10,500&nbsp;m (35,000&nbsp;ft) above sea level. * Human heights in the U.S., UK, Canada, and Ireland are commonly given in feet and inches, stylized as 6'3" (pronounced as "six three", or "six foot three" when the context is unclear), which would be 190.5 centimeters. The same height could also be stylized "6 ft 3 in". * A marathon is run over 42.195&nbsp;kilometers, or 26&nbsp;miles and 385&nbsp;yards. * The maximum speed limit for legacy rail lines in Germany that the signaling technology allows is 160 km/h or roughly 100 mph * 100 km/h is around 60 mph — in many parts of the world this is the speed limit on highways * Despite what you may have heard, the average length of a step is ''not'' a meter or a yard, an error that likely originates from counting both feet. Step lengths of adults usually fall in the range of 60 to 80 centimeters - on the parade ground, a soldier's pace is 75 cm (30 in). When running, the step grows to be above a meter. ===Driving speed=== [[File:Flickr - Nicholas T - Enduring.jpg|thumb|upright|This speedometer displays mph on the outer circle, and km/h on the inner circle.]] The speed limits in most countries are quoted in kilometres per hour (km/h). The principal exceptions are the United States, Liberia, the United Kingdom and many Caribbean countries, which all use miles per hour (mph). Americans who take their cars to Canada or Mexico and Britons who take their cars to Ireland or the European continent often need to convert between mph and km/h while driving. The symbol for "kilometres per hour" is "km/h", used in most countries regardless of how it is written in full in the local language – for example the Italians use "km/h" even though the Italian for "kilometres per hour" is "chilometri all'ora". The few exceptions are in places such as Malaysia which use "km/j" (with the j that stands for ''jam'', the Malay word for hour) although it is unlikely to cause much confusion. Many (but not all) modern cars in these countries have both mph and km/h scales on their speedometers. Some cars that use an LED display for a speedometer can change between mph and km/h by changing a setting. If not, an easy conversion is to remember the sequence. <gallery heights="50" widths="50"> File:Vienna_Convention_road_sign_C14-V1-20.svg File:Vienna_Convention_road_sign_C14-V1-30.svg File:Vienna_Convention_road_sign_C14-V1-50.svg File:Vienna_Convention_road_sign_C14-V1-80.svg File:Vienna_Convention_road_sign_C14-V1-130.svg </gallery> This sequence means that *20 mph ≈ 30 km/h *30 mph ≈ 50 km/h *50 mph ≈ 80 km/h *80 mph ≈ 130 km/h ==Weight== [[File:Tomatos Price Per Pound.jpg|thumb|USA tomatoes: $2.49 per pound (≈ $5.49 per kilogram)]] * 1&nbsp;kilogram (1 kg) ≈ 2.2 pounds * 1 ounce (1 oz) ≈ 28.35 grams * 1 pound (1 lb) = 16 ounces ≈ 454 grams * 1 stone (1 st) = 14 pounds ≈ 6.35 kg (used in the UK and Ireland) Some food in some countries is sold per 100 g (hectogram), i.e. about ¼ lb or 4 oz. A ''Troy ounce'', customarily used only for precious metals and gemstones, is approximately 31.1 grams. The ''jin'' (斤) or catty, a Chinese unit of weight, was traditionally approximately 600 grams, though in mainland [[China]] it is now exactly 500 grams. The jin was traditionally divided into 16 ''liang'' (兩) or taels, though in modern China it is now 10 liang. In [[Germany]] and [[France]] the pound (''Pfund'' or ''livre'') likewise nowadays refers to a weight of exactly 500 g. Both the U.S. and the UK have their own version of the hundredweight (cwt) and the ton (t). The imperial hundredweight is 8 stone (112 pounds), while the U.S. hundredweight is 100 pounds, and a ton is 20 hundredweights in both systems. This means that the U.S. ton is 2000 pounds (about 907.18 kg), while the imperial ton is 160 stone (2240 pounds, about 1016.05 kg). The metric ton (UK: "tonne") is 1000 kg. ==Surface area== * 1 square inch (in²) ≈ 6.5 square centimeters (cm²). * 1 square meter (m²) ≈ 11 square feet * 1 hectare (ha) = 10,000&nbsp;m² ≈ 2.5 acres * 1 square kilometer (km²) = 100 ha ≈ 0.4 square miles. In [[Greece]], 1000m² is called ''stremma''. ===Comparisons=== * An association football (soccer) pitch is roughly one hectare in area. * In the U.S., two of that country's states are often used for nation-sized objects, depending on the area being compared: ** [[Rhode Island]], the smallest state by area, has a surface area of 1,214 square miles or 3,140 square kilometers. ** [[Texas]], the largest by area of the contiguous states, has a surface area of 268,601 square miles or 695,670 square kilometers. * [[Wales]], commonly used for such comparisons in the UK, has an area of 8,023 square miles or 20,779 km². ==Volume== [[File:Volles Pint-Glas.jpg|thumb|upright|A full pint glass (568 mL)]] The standard metric unit of volume is the liter (spelled as "litre" in all of the English-speaking world except for the U.S.). Many things, however, are measured in mL (milliliters) or equivalently in cc (cubic centimeters). Roughly, a teaspoon is 5mL and a fluid ounce (depending on the system) is a little under 30mL. In both the U.S. and imperial systems, 4 quarts = 1 gallon and 2 pints = 1 quart '''but''' the U.S. pint is divided into 16 fluid ounces while the imperial pint is divided into 20 fluid ounces. An imperial gallon is 4.55&nbsp;litres and a U.S. gallon is 3.79&nbsp;liters while an imperial fluid ounce is 28.125&nbsp;mL and a U.S. fluid ounce is 29.5&nbsp;mL. For car and motorcycle engines, displacement is usually given in cc or in liters. American cars used to have their displacement measured in cubic inches, but car manufacturers switched to liters in the early 1980s. 1000cc or one liter is 61 cubic inches. Large amounts of liquids are sometimes measured in hectoliters equivalent to hundred liters or in cubic meters equivalent to a thousand liters. A small brewery might e.g. state their beer production to be below 100 hectoliters while a municipal water service will likely bill you in cubic meters. For very large volumes, the U.S. also uses acre-feet (approx 1233&nbsp;m³). ===Comparisons=== * 1 L of water weighs 1 kg at 4°C. Since many liquids (milk, orange juice) are sold in liter containers, it is easy to judge 1 L or 1 kg. * 1 L is equivalent to a cube 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm. * One U.S. pint of water weighs one pound * One Imperial gallon of water weighs ten pounds * One fluid ounce of water weighs one ounce * 1 cubic meter (1 m³) = 1000 liters. 1 m³ of water weighs 1,000 kg = 1 tonne. * In Europe and many parts of Canada, wine is usually sold in 750 mL (0.75 L) bottles (occasionally 700 mL or 1 L). * 12 fl. oz. (common size for beer bottles in the Americas) is roughly equivalent to 355 milliliters, more or less the same as a "small" European beer at 333 mL (a third of a liter) * One imperial pint (a common serving size for draught beer in the UK, Ireland and Canada) is 568.26125 milliliters (exactly) or roughly 10% more than a big (or regular depending on whom you ask) "continental" European beer at 500 mL. * The fuel tank on a small family car (e.g. Volkswagen Golf or Toyota Corolla) typically has a capacity of 50 L or 13 US gallons. * One acre-foot (in the U.S. commonly cited as a rough estimate for a family's yearly water needs) is equivalent to roughly 1233 m³ ==Wind speed== Wind speed is usually given in m/s, knots, km/h or mph, depending on country and context. 1 m/s = 2 knots (exactly in this context). 1 knot is 1 nautical mile per hour, which is about 1.15 mph. For km/h: divide by two to get knots (actually 1.852) or mph (actually 1.609), by four (3.6) to get m/s. The Beaufort scale was in wide use before, and winds are still often classified according to it.

The SI unit for energy is joule (J), where 1 J = 1 W · 1 s. The alternative units are horsepower (hp) and calories (cal), both still used in some contexts even in countries where metric units dominate. Often thousands of watts, joules and calories are used; particularly in a dietary context, "calories" is often used for what scientists would call "kilocalories". Electrical energy usage is sometimes measured in kilowatt-hours, where 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ. Horsepower is an approximation of what power a horse can deliver on average in long-time work, such as pumping water out of a mine, as measured by James Watt. The horsepower has several definitions (depending on what units they are based on), the main ones being the mechanical or imperial horsepower (about 0.746 kW) and the metric horsepower (about 0.735 kW). For engines the figures vary also depending on what power is measured: to what extent friction in the motor and transmission as well as other factors are included. One calorie is defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. A human needs about 2,000 or 2,600 kcal i.e. 8,400 or 10,900 kJ a day (woman/man), with everyday activities and walking 2–5 km (1.5–3 mi). The figures vary significantly with age, weight and activity. * 1 hp = 0.735 kW ≈ 3/4 kW (2% off) *: or 0.746 kW ≈ 3/4 kW (0.5% off) * 1 kW = 1.360 hp (metric) *: or 1.341 hp (imperial) * 1 kcal ≈ 4.2 kJ ≈ 4 kJ (<5% off) * 1 kJ ≈ 0.24 kcal ≈ 1/4 kcal ==Metric units== The metric system uses prefixes to indicate a multiple or fraction of a base unit (i.e. metre, gram, litre, etc.).

For several centuries, the country was under Ottoman influence but that all changed during the 1800s when the Russians took control of it. In the years to follow, Moldova became a part of the Russian Empire and later on, the [[Soviet Union]], before declaring independence in the 1990s. Its fertile soils led to Moldova being dubbed "the garden" of the Soviet Union. Since independence, Moldova has faced numerous difficulties, especially inter-ethnic conflict. Inter-ethnic tensions led to the creation of the proclaimed [[Transnistria]] Republic in eastern Moldova, which has its own government and currency but is not recognised by any UN member country. Economic links have been re-established between these two parts of Moldova despite the failure in political negotiations. Similar to [[Switzerland]], Moldova is committed to neutrality, and has decent relations with virtually every country in the world. Despite Moldova's vast political and economic problems, Moldovans try to be happy and make the most of their situation. ===Climate=== Continental cold and snowy winters, mild springs and autumns, and warm to hot summers. ===Terrain=== Landlocked. Rolling steppe, gradual slope south towards the Black Sea. Well endowed with various sedimentary rocks and minerals including sand, gravel, gypsum, and limestone. ''Natural hazards'': experiences landslides (57 cases in 1998) due to extensive soil erosion from poor farming methods The lowest point is the Dniester River at 2&nbsp;m and the highest point is Dealul Balanesti at 430&nbsp;m. ===History=== {{quickbar|location=LocationMoldova.png}} It was a principality under the suzerainty (protection) of the Ottoman Empire, then part of the Russian Empire after 1811, then part of Romania after World War I. Moldova was forcefully incorporated into the Soviet Union during World War II. * '''Independence''' - 27 August 1991 (from Soviet Union) * '''National holiday''' - Independence Day, 27 August (1991) * '''Constitution''' - new constitution adopted 28 July 1994; replaces old Soviet constitution of 1979 Although independent from the Soviet Union since 1991, Russian forces have remained on Moldovan territory east of the Dniester River supporting the Slavic population, mostly Ukrainians and Russians, who have proclaimed the breakaway republic of Transnistria. The poorest nation in Europe, Moldova became the first former Soviet state to elect a communist government and president in 2001. Despite subsequent losses, the Communist Party remains powerful in local politics. ===Culture=== Geographically located at the crossroads of Latin, Slavic and other cultures, Moldova has enriched its own culture by adopting and maintaining some of the traditions of its neighbours and of other influences. Moldova has a distinct culture, but has heavy influences from Russia, Romania and Ukraine. These influences are most visible in the cuisine in Moldova. While Moldova has its own culinary style, including Mamaliga, Zeama, Placinta and other traditional dishes, a lot of the food eaten or sold here originated from Russia or Romania. Moldovan music has a distinctive flair, but is what you might expect in eastern Europe. There are a lot of accordions and the traditional costumes and dances are similar to Russian traditional ones - which is unsurprising considering Moldova was a part of the USSR for more than 40 years. ===Maps=== Moldova is one of the least visited countries in Europe, so tourist information desks are still very rare. You can't depend only on the usual online maps, especially if you need to find an address in a rural area. Probably the best online map of Moldova is found at [http://www.map.md map.md] In some kiosks you can buy a two-sided map called "Republic of Moldova: Topographical map, 1:200 000" (Республика Молдова: Топографическая карта, 1:200 000, {{ISBN|9789664970621}} which is based on older Soviet military maps. You can download these in advance and print them, or you can browse them in many apps. ==Get in== [[File:Visa policy of Moldova.svg|thumb|375px|A map showing the visa requirements of Moldova, with countries in blue having visa-free access]] ===Entry requirements=== Citizens of Canada, CIS countries, the EU, Japan, Norway, Switzerland, UK and the US do not need a visa to enter Moldova and can stay in the country for up to 90 days within a six-month period [http://www.mfa.gov.md/entry-visas-moldova/ without registration]. Citizens of other countries must either obtain a visa in the nearest Moldovan embassy or alternatively could obtain a visa on arrival in Chişinău airport and on some land border crossings provided that an officially endorsed invitation letter from Moldova is obtained beforehand. By entering into Moldova via [[Ukraine]], you may be crossing [[Transnistria]]. Some buses from [[Odessa]] go through [[Tiraspol]], while others go around, exchanging the two border crossings with more time on the road. Transnistria is an unrecognised state in the east of Moldova bordering Ukraine, which broke off from the country after a war in 1992. There are generally few issues for Westerners in crossing Transnistrian borders by bus, although foreign travellers have experienced problems in the past. There is, however, a small chance that foreign tourists may be asked to pay bribes, although the buses which travel between Ukraine, Transnistria and the rest of Moldova usually handle negotiations at the border well, collecting passports and negotiating with Transnistrian authorities. Also, there is no Moldovan border check between Transnistria and the rest of Moldova as Moldova does not recognise Transnistria as a state, so you might have some explaining to do when you try to leave Moldova without an entrance stamp. ===By plane=== {{cautionbox|As a result of the war in Ukraine, flights to Moldova may be suspended, particularly if conflict erupts in Transnistria or neighboring areas of Ukraine. Flights to Russia and Ukraine remain suspended. |lastedit=17 April 2022}} [[File:19-01-19-Chișinău RRK0221.jpg|thumb|300px|Chisinau airport]] The main international airport is {{marker|type=go|name=Chișinău International Airport|wikidata=Q844951}} ({{IATA|KIV}}). The busiest air connections are from [[Bucharest]], [[Budapest]], [[Istanbul]], [[Moscow]], [[Munich Airport]], [[Timisoara]] and [[Vienna Airport]]. Prices are relatively high. The cheapest tickets are from [[Bucharest]], [[Istanbul]], [[Kyiv]], [[Bergamo]] and [[Moscow]]. Moldova has three airlines. ===By train=== [[File:Moldova trein.jpg|thumb|300px|Train from Moscow to Chisinau travelling through Moldovan countryside]] Possibly the cheapest way to get into the country is to take the overnight train. There are daily trains from Romania, Ukraine and Russia via Ukraine. The train from Bucharest leaves at 19:15 and arrives at about 09:00. A ticket in a 2nd class, 4-berth sleeper is 593 [[Moldova#Money|Moldovan lei]] (~€28), or 685 Moldovan lei in a 1st class, 2-berth sleeper (2018). Since flights into Bucharest cost ~US$200 less than those into Moldova, this is the best option if you have the time. It is now possible to [http://tracer.railway.md:10000/?lang=ro '''buy tickets online'''] up to two weeks before departure (website in Romanian/Russian only). Just show your printout to the conductor when boarding. At the border crossing the carriages are lifted individually onto larger gauge wheels to fit Moldovan tracks. Crossing the border from Ukraine is smoother, as both countries use the same track gauge. ===By car=== When coming by car, be sure to use a border crossing with a (non-stop) visa issuing office. You will have to pay a small road tax at the border. A person driving a car which is not registered in their own name must carry a letter of authority from the registered owner of the vehicle. ===By bus=== There are [http://www.autogara.md/ regular buses] connecting [[Chişinău]] with Bucharest, Kyiv and most major Romanian and Ukrainian cities. There are 5-6 buses per day to and from Bucharest. Due to a longer stay at the border the trip takes around 10&nbsp;hours. There is a basic toilet at the border, however most coaches do not make any other stops. You will also be able to travel to most European cities by bus with Moldovan bus companies. When coming by bus one should be sure to use a frontier with a (non-stop) visa issuing office. *[[Kyiv]], 2 daily, 250 lei, 12&nbsp;hours *[[Moscow]], 4 daily, 700 lei, 30&nbsp;hours *[[Odessa]], 20 daily, 90 lei, 5&nbsp;hours *[[Sevastopol]], daily, 430 lei, 18&nbsp;hours *[[Brasov]], 5 daily, 200 lei, 12&nbsp;hours ===By boat=== Although the country is landlocked, there is a ferry service between [[Giurgiulesti]] in Moldova and [[Istanbul]], [[Turkey]], plying the river Danube to reach the Black Sea. They leave Giurgiulesti every Monday and arrive at Istanbul the following Wednesday. It's not certain if this ferry service is only limited to the high season. ==Get around== [[File:Kišiněv, letiště, AKSM-321 (2019-03-17; 02).jpg|thumb|300px|Trolleybus in Chisinau]] Moldova is a small country and you can easily reach major cities within an hour. Although highly impractical, a long walk to [[Chisinau]] from [[Bolhrad]] will take 34 hours. The most reliable way of getting around the country is by bus. Buses can get you to most parts of the country. Chişinău is the main transportation hub for the country. The three bus stations serve every city and town in Moldova. The fastest form of transport are small minibuses which seat around 15 people. Larger buses are also used and are marginally safer, because they travel at slower speeds. In Chișinău there is a state run trolleybus system which includes many new vehicles. Fare is 2 lei; a conductor collects fares and issues tickets. There is also a 'bus service which operates with fewer routes. Minibuses (''rutierele'' in Moldovan Romanian; ''marshrutki'' in Russian) are available in most cities. They are privately operated and are called by requesting the vehicle to stop, however can often be very crowded. Drivers should be paid on boarding (3 lei in Chișinău), however some insist on sitting down first and passing the money to the person in front of them to pass to the driver, so don't be alarmed if random people behind you start handing you money. [[File:Moldova road sign 5.1.svg|thumb|Speed limits in Moldova]] ==Talk== {{seealso|Romanian phrasebook}} The official language of Moldova is [[Romanian phrasebook|Romanian]], ''limba română'', which is a member of the Romance language family. This means that Romanian is related to languages such as Italian, Latin, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. '''[[Russian phrasebook|Russian]]''' is widely spoken in the country, both as a first and second language. If you don't know any Romanian, communicating in Russian should be no problem. '''[[Gagauz phrasebook|Gagauz]]''', a Turkic language, is the main language of [[Gagauzia]]. It is closely related to Azerbaijani, Turkish, and Turkmen. If you know either of those three languages, you shouldn't have a problem picking up Gagauz. '''[[Ukrainian phrasebook|Ukrainian]]''' is spoken by the Ukrainian minority and in parts of [[Transnistria]]. '''English''' has been taught in Moldova since the 1990s, but few people speak it well enough to have a full conversation. Therefore, a solid knowledge of Romanian and/or Russian is essential to get around the country independently. Language can be a sensitive issue in this country, and the name of the native language is a source of endless political controversy. Some refer to Romanian as Romanian (''limba română''), while some refer to the same language as Moldovan (''limba moldovenească''), and others prefer to speak Russian. ==See== [[File:The Soroca fortress.jpg|thumb|300px|Soroca fortress]] [[File:Caves Milestii Mici Moldavie.jpg|thumb|300px|Milestii Mici]] ===Museums=== There are several museums in central [[Chişinău]], including the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography, the Museum of Natural History and the National Museum of Fine Arts. ===Wine=== Moldova is famous for its wines, and high-quality wines at inexpensive prices are Moldova’s main tourist attraction. * {{marker|type=see|name=Milestii Mici|wikidata=Q15625039}} - With over 200&nbsp;kilometres (125&nbsp;miles) of underground roadways, Milestii Mici is registered in the Guinness World Records as the biggest wine collection in the world.

The cost to enter the complex is 20 lei or 15 if you are a student - but none of the locals seem to bother to stop to pay. Six marshrutka services run between Chişinău central bus station and the tourist complex every day. In the vicinity are huge cliffs that contain another six complexes of interlocking caves. It is strongly advised to explore them with an experienced guide. The remains of a Turkish bath house is also just off the river. * {{marker|type=see|name=Capriana Monastery|wikidata=Q1692322}} - One of Moldova’s most prominent monasteries only 40&nbsp;km (25&nbsp;miles) from Chişinău.

Like the Romanian leu, the Moldovan leu is subdivided into 100 bani (singular: ban). The name of the currency originates in Romania and means "lion". While in Moldova make sure to visit at least one piața and check out the Soviet memorabilia, but be careful as sellers may charge foreigners much higher prices than locals. Banknotes are in 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 lei denominations. ===Shopping=== Local wine is of superb quality and cheap in comparison to other countries, but for political reasons is mostly unknown in Western Europe. === Tipping === Moldovians are not accustomed to tipping. ==Eat== Chişinău is a good place for gourmands. There are a lot of good places to eat all over Chişinău. Cheap, tasty food that is very popular with the locals is served in most places. For better service and more diverse food, there are a lot of small restaurants and cafés. Good restaurants have prices comparable to those elsewhere in Europe. For a quick lunch, fast food and pizza shops are recommended; these can be found at nearly every corner. For groceries, there are small shops all over. Some are even in front of apartment blocks just a few steps away from the entrances. For harder-to-find items, go to the supermarkets. For fresh fruits and vegetables, markets are a great place to shop. Most of the products are local, but there are a lot of sellers who to sell imported stuff, mostly oranges, bananas and other tropical fruits and vegetables. Meat and meat products are best purchased from supermarkets or shops. The quality is much better than from the market, and the prices aren't much higher. While in Moldova, make sure you try at least some of the traditional dishes: Mamaliga, placinta and sarmale are essential for a complete experience during your visit to Moldova. For the full experience these should be accompanied by homemade wine. ==Drink== [[File:Mileștii Mici Wine Fountain.jpg|thumb|300px|Wine fountain at Milestii Mici]] Moldova has a long tradition of local [[wine]]. The reds are especially popular throughout the country. Most Moldovan villagers grow their own grapes and press their own wine, and many standard rural households will press thousands of litres per year. The nightlife of Chişinău is also quite spectacular compared to what could be expected. It is the host of many clubs and bars that are equal in every aspect to many other places throughout Eastern Europe. ==Sleep== Accommodation in Chişinău is surprisingly expensive and there is no shortage of €100 a night options. Most hotel prices are listed in euros but some are listed in US dollars. Many smaller towns will have a Soviet relic hotel complete with service with a frown. Rates will be high for what you're getting. In many places it's possible to pay about €10 to stay in a local's house. This is an informal arrangement and can only be organized by talking to people upon arrival but it is well worth considering if you want to get out into the countryside. '''Hostels'''. Hostelling is still in its infancy in Moldova, but there are a few nice hostels to be found in Chişinău. Amongst others Chişinău Hostel and Central Youth Hostel. Prices range from US$10–20. '''Apartments'''. Many people in Chişinău rent out apartments. The location and quality can vary. Many are also not very modern. You may want to use a booking company as it may be hard to find people who speak English. Price €20–50. ==Learn== While none are internationally accredited, there are universities in Chisinau, Balti and Cahul. ==Stay safe== [[File:Mounted Moldavian police in a park.jpg|thumb|300px|Mounted police in Chisinau]] Visitors to Moldova for business or romance should be aware of the potential risk of scams, particularly if first contact was made on the Internet. See [http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/financial_scams/financial_scams_3155.html International financial scams] and [http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_2088.html Russian Internet dating schemes]. Corrupt police and border guards may try to extort bribe money but 'normal' crime rates are low. Locals are generally very friendly and will go to great lengths to provide hospitality to foreigners. You can expect a lengthy, and inevitably boozy, meal to be offered to you just in your honour. Conservative dress must be worn at religious sites. Shorts are forbidden and women must cover their heads inside monasteries and churches. While bribery and police corruption are still problems in Moldova, the situation is improving. It is still advised that tourists have the number of their embassy and the contact information of where they are staying. Foreigners are also required to have their passports on them at all times. There is however usually no one checking this in any normal setting. Alcohol consumption can also be a problem. Running into drunks especially at night is common. Most are friendly; they often come off as aggressive and will invade your personal space. This can be scary the first couple of times. Politely walking away normally works. People coming from a country where less alcohol is consumed can find themselves becoming the drunks. ==Stay healthy== Very few healthcare facilities are on par with Western standards, and accessibility may be hindered if you're not proficient in Romanian and/or Russian. In the event of a serious medical emergency, it is strongly recommended that you make every effort to seek medical care elsewhere. Neighbouring [[Romania]] may have better healthcare facilities than neighbouring [[Ukraine]]. The US Embassy in Moldova maintains a list of facilities that provide services in English. Refer to [https://md.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/doctors/] for more information. The heavy use of agricultural chemicals, including banned pesticides such as DDT, has contaminated soil and groundwater. If you are concerned, '''[[water]]''' for drinking, cooking and oral hygiene should be taken from a known safe source, as ordinary water treatment, including boiling, does not remove such chemical contamination. ==Respect== As one of the least visited countries on the planet, you are likely to attract a lot of stares from the locals. Do not be alarmed or surprised; this doesn't indicate hostility, but rather, curiosity. Since Moldova's tourist industry is barely developed and that it is one of the poorest countries in Europe, some Moldovans may treat you as a "walking wallet" or someone who is "wealthy". If you feel like you are about to be scammed by someone, simply ignore them and say something along the lines of "not interested" ([[Romanian]]: ''Nu mă interesează'') or you can simply say "go away" ([[Romanian]]: ''Pleacă'') === Women === Women are widely respected in Moldovan society, perhaps more so than any other country in [[Europe]]. There are many female mayors in Moldova and there are many women who have high positions in the government. Women are traditionally treated with chivalry. Female travellers should not be surprised or alarmed if their male Moldovan friends take the initiative to pay the bills at a restaurant, open every door in front of them, and/or help them carry items or objects. Male travellers should understand that these nuances will be expected by Moldovan women, even if they're not in a romantic relationship with one. In rural areas, it is a social taboo for women to smoke or drink alcohol. Although you may get away with it as a foreigner, it's best to follow suit so as to not stand out like a sore thumb. Foreign women may often attract the attention of Moldovan men and are sometimes seen as "easy". You should especially be careful when making direct eye contact with Moldovan men; it can get a Moldovan man to think you are "into" him. === Sensitive issues === Be careful when discussing the possible '''unification of Moldova and Romania'''. Although it's not a hugely sensitive issue, many Moldovans are opposed to Moldova joining Romania, even though support for it has been gradually rising lately. Always study your hosts. Some identify as "Moldovan", others identify as "Romanian", while others are ethnically Russian or Ukrainian. This also applies to language as well; even though Romanian is the official language of Moldova, as described above, some refer to it as "Moldovan" in Moldova. ==Connect== {{isPartOf|Balkans}} {{outlinecountry}} {{geo|47|28|zoom=7}} 9eaov53ogktbijojh0oye5hyt6cs8ic 0 23539 4495754 4494799 2022-08-05T15:00:20Z Sbb1413 2217354 wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Panoramic View of Hazarduari Complex.jpg}} '''Murshidabad''' is a historic town [[West Bengal]], India. It was once the capital of [[Bengal]], [[Bihar]] and [[Odisha]]. The last capital city of independent Bengal was named after Nawab Murshid Quli Khan, the Diwan of Bengal, Bihar and Odisha. It is situated on the banks of the Bhagirathi River. A city of splendors and famous for its silk, it was made capital of Bengal in 1717. The British East India Company starts its journey from the place. The British shifted the capital to Kolkata in 1773. ==Understand== [[File:Hazarduari1 debaditya chatterjee.jpg|thumb|350px|The clock tower with the Hazar Duari palace in the background]] [[File:Katra Masjid panoramic view.jpg|thumb|350 px|Panoramic view of Katra Masjid]] Murshidabad became the capital of Bengal under Murshid Quli Khan in 1727. He was the first independent ruler of the region, which consisted of present day [[Bangladesh]] and the Indian states of [[West Bengal]], [[Bihar]], [[Jharkhand]] and [[Odisha]]. Murshidabad was a flourishing trade and commerce centre and historical records even suggested that Murshidabad contributed about 20% of the Indian economy and a staggering 5% of the world GDP. After the Battle of Plassey in 1757, Murshidabad was considered as prosperous as London. Sadly, Murshidabad has long lost its former glory and only traces of its glorious past survives to this day. Whatever has survived is still enough to turn Murshidabad into a leading tourism destination, but sadly the place lacks proper tourist infrastructure. Still, Murshidabad along with [[Bishnupur (West Bengal)|Bishnupur]] and [[Gour-Pandua]] are the three important historic tourist destination of [[West Bengal]]. ==Get in== Murshidabad is well connected from [[Kolkata]] by both rail and road. ===By train=== Local and express trains are available from Sealdah, Howrah and Kolkata stations.

The Baluchari sarees have large floral motifs interspersed with flowering shrubs.

Otherwise, you may feel cheated after the lunch is over. ==Drink== '''The ground water here is contaminated with arsenic''', so you are better off drinking from the municipal supply of surface water or bottled drinking water of reputed companies, not of ordinary companies, here and there in Murshidabad district, even if those are cheaper by ₹2 per litre. ==Sleep== [[File:Bari Kothi 1.jpg|thumb|200 px|Bari Kothi, Azimganj]] * {{listing | type=sleep | name=Hotel Manjusha | alt= | url= | email= | address=Lalbag | lat=24.1886 | long=88.2671 | directions= | phone=+91 3482 270321 | tollfree= | checkin= | checkout= | price=₹350-₹500 | content=On the bank of Bhagirathi and very close to Hazarduari. }} * {{sleep | name=Hotel Indrajit | alt= | url=http://hotelindrajit.in/ | email= | address= | lat=24.1763 | long=88.2806 | directions=Two minutes walking distance from Murshidabad railway station | phone=+91 9836381994 | tollfree= | fax= | checkin= | checkout= | price=₹550-₹1150 | content=AC Non AC Rooms * Bar Cum Restaurant }} * {{listing | type=sleep | name=Netaji Abas | alt= | url= | email= | address=Lalbag | lat=24.1784542 | long=88.267308 | directions= | phone=+91 3482 70033 | tollfree= | checkin= | checkout= | price= | content= }} * {{listing | type=sleep | name=Lalbagh Youth Hostel | alt= | url=https://youthhostelbooking.wb.gov.in/pages/SearchAvailability.aspx | email= | address= | lat=24.1897 | long=88.2694 | directions= | phone=+91 33 22480626, +91 22109206, +91 22106767 | tollfree= | checkin= | checkout= | price= | content=50 seats in dormitory. }} * {{listing | type=sleep | name=Hotel Anurag | alt= | url= | email= | address=Lalbag | lat=24.1877087 | long=88.2680279 | directions= | phone=+91 3482 70629 | tollfree= | checkin= | checkout= | price= | content= }} * {{listing | type=sleep | name=Hotel Sagnik | alt= | url=http://www.hotelsagnik.com/index.php | email= | address=77 Omrahaganj, Lalbag | lat=24.1777129 | long=88.2697086 | directions= | phone=+91 3482-270051, +91 3482 271492, +91 9434021911 | tollfree= | checkin= | checkout= | price=₹450-₹1500 | content= }} * {{listing | type=sleep | name=Bari Kothi | alt= | url=https://barikothi.com/index.php | email=info@barikothi.com | address=Jain Patty, Azimganj | lat=24.241414 | long=88.253579 | directions= | phone=+91 9051200800 | tollfree= | checkin= | checkout= | price=Price On request | lastedit=2019-10-25 | content=A 300-year-old heritage mansion converted into a boutique heritage hotel. }} * {{sleep | name= Hotel Anwesha | alt= | url= http://www.hotelanwesha.com/ | email= | address= Lalbag| lat= 24.1893| long= 88.2671| directions= near Hazarduari | phone= +91 9434115470 | tollfree= | fax= | price= | checkin= | checkout= | content= }} * {{sleep | name=Motijhil Tourist Cottage | alt= | url= | email= | address=Motijhil | lat=24.1575 | long=88.28184 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | checkin= | checkout= | price= | lastedit=2022-08-03 | content= }} ==Go next== *'''[[Baharampur]]''' (Berhampore) — About 24 km from Murshidabad. * [[Bethuadahari]] * '''[[Gour-Pandua]]''' — Twin historical and heritage sites. * [[Krishnanagar]] * [[Raiganj]] *'''[[Tarapith]]''' — A Hindu pilgrimage site.

The major airport was built here instead of the capital [[Suva]] because of its relatively drier climate. However, there are still enough points of interest and things to do to spend a few days here before you get on board the ferries or helicopters to the smaller islands or head back home. The main street of Nadi is Queens Road. It is where all the hustle and bustle is and connects the town with the rest of Viti Levu. As you walk around the town, shopkeepers will occasionally approach you and do their best to make you enter their shop. However, the sales staff are not very persistent nor threatening, so don't worry too much about it. Often when there is traffic or road work going on at Queens Road, the best road to travel across the town is Nadi Back Road. You may encounter an underlying air of ethnic tension between the Indian and native Fijian populations, but this rarely comes out in the open. ==Get in== ===By plane=== * {{go | name=Nadi International Airport | alt={{IATA|NAN}} | url=http://www.airportsfiji.com | email= | address= | lat=-17.755278 | long=177.443333 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Nadi International Airport | image=Nadi Airport - International Departures.jpg | wikidata=Q1150557 | content=It is the gateway to Fiji and handles almost all of the country's international passenger traffic.

Buses stop at {{marker|type=go|name=Nadi Bus Station|lat=-17.803529|long=177.418121}}. ==Get around== {{Mapframe|-17.77|177.43|zoom=12}} Nadi has reliable local buses that let you explore the town and beyond. Just wave to the driver and you will be able to hop on from anywhere along the route. The comfortable, airy buses cost a fraction of that of a rental car. The bus clearly states where it is travelling from and to but you can also confirm with the driver. To get off, just ring the bell and the driver will stop anywhere along the route even if there is no official bus stop nearby. *Taxis are a convenient way of getting around with reasonable fares. Remember to haggle with the driver before getting in. It is a good idea to ask your tour guide or hotel on the typical prices between two locations. Alternatively, if you are patient and experienced with bargaining, ask multiple taxi drivers what they charge for key locations and haggle down the price. *There are hire cars available within the airport as well as in town. The internationally recognisable brands including Hertz, Thrifty, Avis, Europcar, and Budget are easy to find. There are local brands too though not all of them are reliable. In order to hire a car, you need to possess a valid driver's licence and, either be over 21 or 25 years of age (the precise age will depend on the rental service you use). ==See== [[File:Hindu Temple in Nadi, Fiji.jpg|thumb|The Sri Siva Subramaniya temple]] * {{see | name=Wailoaloa Beach | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=-17.7655 | long=177.4262 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2017-05-13 | content=North of Nadi town, the beach is 3 km long.

Crime is on the decline however, and whatever crime exists is mostly petty. There is a police station in the centre of Queens Road if you have any problems. Although Nadi is on the drier, western side of Viti Levu, the climate is still very warm and humid. If you are walking around for a long time during the day in unshaded areas, it is likely that you will sweat profusely. As such it is important to stay hydrated and take regular breaks in shaded areas. Most of Nadi's roads are well developed and maintained but you should be wary of a few big potholes on the smaller roads around the outskirts of town. ==Go next== * Hop on a local bus for $2 to [[Lautoka]] and visit a Fijian city away from the tourist eye. The bus terminates at the local markets, where you can buy tonnes of fresh produce. * Head down south to [[Sigatoka]] and begin your journey along Viti Levu's famed [[Coral Coast]]. * Air conditioned buses go from Nadi International Airport to the capital Suva two times a day (at 7:30AM and 4PM). You can request the bus to stop at any points of interest along the route. * Many ferries suitable for days trip leave daily from Port Denarau just west of Nadi to the outer island groups such as the [[Mamanuca Islands|Mamanucas]] and [[Yasawa Islands|Yasawas]]. The ferries start from 9AM to 4PM daily. * Venture east into the sparsely populated [[Nausori Highlands]].

Incidents have occurred, and when they do then due process is hard to come by. The most likely consequence of any [[authority trouble|trouble with the authorities]] is a period of detention before deportation.

Comb-pattern pottery culture peaked around 3500-2000&nbsp;BC. Legend has it that Korea began with the founding of Gojoseon (also called ''Ancient Chosun'') by the legendary Dangun in 2333&nbsp;BC. Archeological and contemporaneous written records of Gojoseon as a kingdom date back to around 7th-4th century BC. Gojoseon was eventually defeated by the Chinese Han Dynasty in 108 BC and its territories were governed by four Chinese commanderies, but this did not last long. Natives of the peninsula and Manchuria soon reclaimed the territory, namely the Three Kingdoms of Korea, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje. The '''Goguryeo Kingdom''' (or Koguryo) ruled the entire area of modern North Korea, as well as parts of Manchuria and the northern parts of modern South Korea. Buddhist and Confucian teachings were prominent in the Goguryeo Kingdom, which adopted Buddhism as the state religion in 372. Despite repeated attempts by China, namely the Sui Dynasty and later the Tang Dynasty, to conquer the Korean Peninsula, northern-based Goguryeo managed to repel them. Eventually, Goguryeo fell to a Silla-Tang alliance, which had earlier defeated Baekje. This unified Korea under the Silla dynasty. Even though Tang later invaded, Silla forces managed to drive them out, thus maintaining Korea's independence. Unified Silla was replaced by the Goryeo (also called ''Koryo'') dynasty, from which the modern name "Korea" derives. One highlight of the Goryeo dynasty was that in 1234 the world's first metal movable type was invented by a Korean named Choe Yun-ui (200 years before Gutenberg's printing press). Buddhist learning spread during this time and the former Baekje and Goguryeo leaders were treated well. The kingdom saw relative peace until the 8th and 9th centuries when clan leaders led uprisings and toppled the Silla, establishing the Goryeo Dynasty from which the name "Korea" was derived by Westerners. During this period, the nation suffered Mongol invasions, which led to unrest and the eventual establishment of the Joseon Dynasty in 1392. {{quickbar|location=LocationNorthKorea.png}} ====Joseon Dynasty==== The Joseon Dynasty was one of the longest-running dynasties in the world (512 years), ruling from 1392 until 1910. '''King Sejong the Great''''s rule was especially celebrated, as he helped create the Korean script, ''choson'gul'', which allowed even the commoners to become literate. He also expanded the nation's military power to drive out Japanese pirates and northern nomads and regain territories that had been lost. The Japanese invaded Korea under the leadership of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, though the Joseon Dynasty managed to drive them out with the support of China's Ming Dynasty, albeit with heavy losses in the Korean peninsula. In spite of its losses, the nation experienced about 200 years of peace, and its isolationist policies allowed it to further develop a uniquely Korean culture and identity. Rapid modernisation stirred by the Second Industrial Revolution created tension between China and Japan as they felt the pressures of Western expansionism, each wanting to extend their influence over Korea. Ensuing wars between Japan, China and Russia led to increasing Japanese influence over the peninsula, resulting in Korea's status as a vassal state of Imperial China ending in 1895, and Japan annexing Korea outright in 1910, marking the end of the Joseon dynasty and Korean independence. ====Japanese occupation and a divided Korea==== {{seealso|Korean War}} Japan ruled the Korea as a colony until its defeat in [[Pacific War|World War II]] in 1945. During that period, the Japanese committed numerous atrocities including massacres, and forced many Korean women to become "comfort women"; sex slaves in Japanese military brothels. Moreover, Japan instituted a cultural assimilation policy, forcing the Koreans to adopt Japanese names, and forbidding them from speaking the Korean language. Japan was forced to give up control of all its colonies after is defeat in World War II in 1945, and the Allied Powers divided Korea along the 38th Parallel, with the Soviet Union occupying the northern half and the United States occupying the southern half. The divide was supposed to be temporary; however, the political power struggle between the two nations to gain influence over the unified Korea led each to establish governments within their newly created territories. North Korea was established as its own nation in 1948 with the support of the Soviet Union, following the Soviet Communist model, with Kim Il-Sung as its leader, while at about the same time, Syngman Rhee established a capitalist regime with the support of the United States in the south. Agitation between the North and South came to a head in 1950 when the North started the '''Korean War''' by attempting to reunify the country under its terms by launching an invasion. The Soviet Union and China fought alongside the North against the South, who were in turn backed by the United Nations (UN) forces led by the [[United States]]. The UN forces drove the North Korean forces all the way up to the Chinese border, whereupon Chinese reinforcements forced the UN forces to be driven back south. The war finally resulted in the signing of an armistice in 1953, largely maintaining the original borders set prior to the war. Because no peace treaty has been signed since the armistice, the nations of [[South Korea]] and North Korea are officially still at war. ====Modern North Korea==== [[File:Party Foundation Monument (10875731074).jpg|thumb|The symbols of the Korean Workers' Party: the hammer for the worker, the sickle for the peasant, and the brush for the intellectual]] [[File:Laika ac Pyongyang (7968448156).jpg|thumbnail|Communist propaganda in Pyongyang]] With the nation in shambles after the war, Kim Il-Sung launched a campaign to unite the people by defaming the [[United States]] with Soviet support and purging the nation of dissidents and anyone thought to oppose him. He sided with China during the Sino-Soviet Split on Communist philosophy because he disliked Krushchev's reforms but began to praise the Soviet Union once again when China underwent its Cultural Revolution, straining relations with both neighbors. Consequently, he developed his own ideology, '''''Juche''''' ("self-reliance"), to create the sort of Communism he wanted for his nation. Throughout his life, Kim Il-Sung added to and clarified the Juche ideology in order to justify his governing decisions. The Korean War not only divided the people, but it also divided the labor force. When the peninsula was united, North Korea had most of the nation's industries while South Korea was the agricultural center. This divide allowed North Korea to initially bounce back faster than the South in the rebuilding process. The Soviet Union then funded agricultural efforts in the North, in accordance with the Communist model. This system began to unravel in the late 1970s and 1980s as the Soviet system began to falter. With the end of Soviet aid following its dissolution in 1991, there was no way to continue to support the agricultural systems' needs for fuel, fertilizer and equipment. After so many years of government mismanagement, and the bad timing of severe flooding, the North's agricultural system collapsed in the mid-1990s, leading to widespread famine and death for countless North Koreans. The death of Kim Il-Sung in 1994 took place while the nation tried to deal with the crisis, slowing government response as the new leader, Kim Jong-Il, took his father's position. The North finally allowed international relief agencies to assist, and the worst aspects of the famine were contained. However, the DPRK continues to rely heavily on international food aid to feed its population while at the same time continuing to expend resources on its ''songun'', or "military first", policy, which Kim Jong-Il introduced and used in conjunction with his father's ''Juche'' ideology (which he "interpreted"). Today the DPRK maintains an army of about 1 million infantrymen, most stationed close to the DMZ which divides the two Koreas. North Korea's long-range missile development and research into nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and massive conventional armed forces are of major concern to the international community. In December 2002, Kim Jong-Il reneged on a 1994 "Agreed Framework" signed by his father which required the shut down of its nuclear reactors, expelling UN monitors and further raising fears that the nation would produce nuclear weapons. Missile testing was conducted in 1998, 2006 and April 2009. In October 2006 North Korea announced that it had conducted its first nuclear test. These actions have led to UN and other international sanctions. Current negotiations, most notably the "Six-Party Talks" involving China, Russia, Japan, North Korea, South Korea and the United States, are aimed at bringing about an end to the DPRK nuclear weapons program, in hopes that a peace treaty to officially end the Korean War may finally be agreed upon, paving the way for the opening of diplomatic ties between North Korea and the United States. Unfortunately, in March 2010, a South Korean ship was sunk near the 38th parallel, increasing tensions between North and South Korea. Although North Korea claims not to have attacked the ship, the blame has largely been placed on North Korea. The death of Kim Jong-Il in late 2011 created a measure of uncertainty during the transfer of power to his son Kim Jong-Un; though the country has appeared to have stabilized since, considerable tensions have occurred intermittently. ===Government and politics=== North Korea is a totalitarian dictatorship. The government is led by the State Affairs Commission (SAC), which sets national policy and is directly responsible for the military. The supreme leader (Kim Jong-un) is chairman of the SAC, as well as head of the Workers' Party of Korea and several other positions. Atop the administrative branch of the government is the cabinet, which is headed by the premier (like a prime minister). The cabinet is appointed by the unicameral Supreme People's Assembly (SPA) which heads the legislative branch, although bills are drafted by the Party and the almost 700-person SPA almost always passes them without debate or modification. Moreover, it's in recess all but a few days a year, leaving most authority in the hands of the 15-person Presidium. The judiciary is headed by the Supreme Court, whose three justices are elected, partisan, and accountable to the SPA. The judiciary is not independent and does not have the power to overrule the legislative or executive branches of government, and interference from security forces is a widespread problem. ===People=== North Korea may be the most ethnically homogeneous nation on earth, with everyone being Korean save for a few hundred foreigners. These foreigners are mostly diplomatic or aid agency workers, along with a small population of Japanese who have Korean ancestry. Almost no South Koreans live in North Korea. North Korean society is strongly divided and organised along a caste system known as ''Songun''. Membership of one of three main groups is determined not only by an individual's political, social and economic background, but also that of their family for the previous three generations. Education and professional opportunities are effectively defined by an individual's class. ===Climate=== [[File:Pyongyang.jpg|thumb|Pyongyang seen in the morning]] The climate is generally classed as continental, with rainfall concentrated in summer. Summer months are warm, but winter temperatures can fall as low as -30°C. Late spring droughts are often followed by severe flooding. There are occasional typhoons during the early autumn. ===Terrain=== Mostly hills and mountains separated by deep, narrow valleys; coastal plains are wide in the west and discontinuous in the east. The mountainous interior is both isolated and sparsely populated. ===Read=== ''The Accusation'', by Bandi. A collection of short stories, published abroad by a pseudonymous North Korean writer, that are highly critical of the Kim regime and full of piercing insight into its contradictions and cruelties. Uniquely among North Korean dissident literature, they were published with their author still living in the country. ''Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea'', Barbara Demick. An excellent book recounting the lives of six North Koreans who managed to defect and find their way to South Korea. Provides a compelling picture of the miseries and occasional beauty in the lives of ordinary North Koreans during the famine of the 1990s. {{ISBN|0385523912}} ''Eyes of the Tailless Animals: Prison Memoirs of a North Korean Woman'', by Soon Ok Lee. First-hand accounts of the prison system within North Korea ''Escape from Camp 14: One Man's Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West'', by Blaine Harden. The riveting story of Shin Dong-hyuk, one of the only known surviving escapees of a North Korean prison camp, and his perilous journey out of the country. ''Without You There Is No Us'', by Suki Kim. A fascinating piece of investigative journalism about teaching English as a foreigner in Pyongyang. ==Get in== {{VisaRestriction|The US State Department issued a travel ban prohibiting travel to North Korea on a United States passport. Very limited exceptions may be granted, mostly for journalists and aid workers; [https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/requirements/passport-for-travel-to-north-korea.html details here]. People who have visited North Korea are not allowed to enter the U.S. under the visa-waiver program, and must apply for a U.S. visa instead. <small>[https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/north-korea-travel-advisory.html Travel Warning]</small>}} {{COVID-19 box|North Korea has '''shut down''' its border to foreign tourists.|lastedit=2021-11-27}} Visiting North Korea can be challenging and you will not have the freedom to explore the country without a North Korean escort, either as part of a group or individual tour. Entry conditions change frequently and without notice depending on the geopolitical situation. For example, North Korea was virtually closed to tourism between October 2014 and March 2015 due to an Ebola scare, despite there being no cases of the disease in or anywhere near the country. ===Visas=== [[File:Visa policy of North Korea (DPR Korea).png|thumbnail|Visa policy of North Korea]] [[File:DPRK tourist card.jpg|thumbnail|Tourist card]] In accordance with North Korean law, '''everyone needs a visa''' to visit North Korea. Tourists typically arrange a tourist visa through booking a tour with a travel agency that organises such tours. The travel agencies will usually deal with the visa on their behalf, although in some cases tourists are required to have a short telephone interview with the North Korean embassy in order to verify their identity and their job. In most cases the interview is conducted in a friendly manner so it is nothing to be worried about. Visas are often only confirmed on the day before the tour, but rarely will a tourist ever be rejected unless you show that you are of political status or a journalist. North Korean tourists visas are often issued on a tourist card. If joining a tour group, group visas are often issued on separate sheets of papers containing all the members of the group, attached with a tourist card that bear the name of the tour leader. This visa itself is never held by the tourists, although tourists can ask to take a photo of their visa. In any case no stamp will be placed in the passport. The only way where a visa and entrance stamp will be stamped on the passport is when the visa is issued within a North Korean embassy in Europe. ====Additional restrictions==== '''Journalists''' or those suspected of being journalists require special permission, which is quite difficult to obtain. The North Koreans do not allow journalists to visit the country on tourist visas. Citizens of '''Malaysia''' were being prevented from leaving North Korea after the March 2017 assassination of Kim Jong-Nam, where Malaysia wanted several North Korean diplomats and nationals for questioning. While restrictions for Malaysians leaving North Korea have now been lifted, the era of visa-free travel between these once relatively 'friendly' countries is over. Citizens of '''South Korea''' are not permitted to enter North Korea unless they have permission from the governments of both the North, for entry, and the South from the Ministry of Unification (통일부). South Korean citizens may face a lengthy prison sentence under the National Security Act (국가보안법) on their return if they do not obtain permission beforehand. South Korean citizens travelling to North Korea on a passport from a different country still risk prosecution. Contrary to rumour, '''Israelis and Jewish citizens''' of other countries do not face any additional restrictions. ===Tours=== [[Image:NorthKorea KijongDong.JPG|thumb|Kijong-dong village, in the DMZ near [[Panmunjeom|Panmunjom]]]] North Korea can only be visited by an organised tour, but this can be a large group or a party of one. Prices start from around {{USD|1,000}}/{{€|700}}/{{GBP|580}} for a 5-day group tour including accommodation, meals and transport from Beijing, but can go up considerably if you want to travel around the country or "independently" (as your own one-person escorted group). Tour operators/travel agencies that organise their own tours to North Korea include: {{infobox|United States citizens|After the death in June 2017 of an American tourist who had been detained in North Korea, many tour groups will no longer accept U.S. citizens on their tours.}} <!-- alphabetical order, absolutely no resellers or other links elsewhere --> * [http://chosonexchange.org/ Choson Exchange] - Singapore, UK & USA.

The average number of tourists per group each company takes will vary considerably so you may want to ask about this before booking a trip. Most people travelling to North Korea will travel through [[Beijing]] and you will probably pick up your visa from there, although some agents arrange their visas elsewhere beforehand though. The North Korean consulate building is separate from the main embassy building at Ritan Lu, and is round the corner at Fangcaodi Xijie. It's open M, W, F 09:30-11:30 & 14:00-17:30; and Tu, Th, Sa 09:30-11:30. Bring your travel permission, US$45 and two passport photos. Your guides will take your passport and keep it during your stay in North Korea, or at least for the first couple of days of your tour, for "security reasons", or simply because your entry and exit dates must be registered, as noted by the black stamps on the back of your visa or passport. Make sure your passport looks decent and doesn't differ from the most common passports from your country. '''Volunteer''' Groups such as Choson Exchange bring volunteers (or tourists) to participate in teaching workshops on business and entrepreneurship to businesswomen, young entrepreneurs and researchers, after which volunteers tour relevant sites in North Korea.

This is the jointly controlled truce village in the [[DMZ (Korea)|Korean Demilitarized Zone]] (DMZ) dividing the two Koreas. It has regular one-day bus tours from Seoul. Restrictions apply to specific nationalities. Group bus tours to [[Kaesong]] and [[Kumgangsan]] in North Korea from the South are no longer available. ===By plane=== All international flights go through Pyongyang's '''Sunan International Airport''' ({{IATA|FNJ}}). No other North Korean airport handles international flights. Only two commercial airlines fly to Sunan: Air Koryo, the national North Korean airline, and Air China. As of August 2013 neither Aeroflot nor China Southern Airlines fly to North Korea. ====Air Koryo==== [[File:Air Koryo TU-204 Pyongyang (10043349944).jpg|thumb|One of Air Koryo's Tupolev Tu-204 at Pyongyang's Airport]] North Korea's sole airline, '''[http://www.airkoryo.com.kp Air Koryo]''', has scheduled flights from Beijing, which depart at 11:30 every Tuesday and Saturday, and return from Pyongyang at 09:00 on the same days. Air Koryo also flies to and from [[Shenyang]] every Wednesday and Saturday, and to [[Vladivostok]] every Tuesday morning. They also fly to [[Macau]]. Air Koryo was the only 1-star (worst) airline on Skytrax's list, a distinction it held for many years. It had been banned in the EU due to concerns over safety. Although Air Koryo last experienced a fatal accident back in 1983, the airline only operates a handful of flights with its fleet of 10 aircraft. The main reason for flying Air Koryo is the experience: otherwise, it's probably better to fly Air China. The Air Koryo fleet consists entirely of Soviet or Russian-made aircraft, with the pride of their fleet being two Tupolev Tu-204s, which now usually handle the core Beijing–Pyongyang route as well as the Pyongyang-Shenyang route. Otherwise, you'll most likely end up on one of their Ilyushin IL-62-Ms (1979-1988 vintage), Tupolev Tu-154s or Tupolev Tu-134s. ====Air China==== '''[http://www.airchina.com/ Air China]''', a member of the Star Alliance, flies three times weekly from Beijing to Pyongyang using Boeing 737s. Air China is preferred by most to Air Koryo due to its far more modern fleet. ===By train=== Train K27/K28 connects Pyongyang to Beijing in China via [[Tianjin]], [[Tangshan]], Beidaihe, [[Shanhaiguan]], [[Jinzhou]], Shenyang, [[Benxi]], Fenghuangcheng, [[Dandong]] and [[Sinuiju]] four times a week. There is only one class on the international train between Beijing and Pyongyang: soft sleeper. It can be booked at the station in Beijing, but reservations must be made several days in advance. Your tour agency will usually do this for you, unless you are travelling on work purposes. It has been increasingly difficult to book space on the Beijing–Pyongyang route, so confirm your tickets well in advance. Once a week train K27/K28 also conveys direct sleeping cars from [[Moscow]] via China to [[Pyongyang]] and vice versa. The route is [[Moscow]] - [[Novosibirsk]] - [[Irkutsk]] - [[Chita]] - [[Harbin]] - [[Shenyang]] - [[Dandong]] - [[Shinuiju]] - [[Pyongyang]]. Departure from Moscow is every Friday evening, arrival at Pyongyang is one week later on Friday evening. Departure from Pyongyang is Saturday morning, arrival in Moscow is Friday afternoon. Some agents (eg Lupine Travel) prefer to cross the border from Dandong in China to Sinuiju by minibus and then board a domestic North Korean train to Pyongyang. Usually you will be seated in a hard seat carriage with KPA soldiers and party workers travelling with their families. There is access to a restaurant car which stocks imported beers (Heineken) and soft drinks as well as some local beers and spirits. This train supposedly takes only 4 hours to Pyongyang but has been known to take 14. If travelling in winter be prepared for temperatures inside the carriages as low as -10°C. There is also a direct rail link from Russia into North Korea. This route is the ''Rossiya'' Trans-Siberian train between Moscow and Vladivostock, with the Korea coaches detached at Ussuriysk. From there it's six hours to the border at Tumangan, with a five hour wait, then a 24-hour haul to Pyongyang. It runs weekly, but as a through-train only twice monthly (11th and 25th from Moscow), arriving Pyongyang 9 days later. This route used to be closed to westerners, but as of 2018 it's available, providing you've the correct visa and other paperwork. ===By boat=== There was an unscheduled cargo-passenger ship between Wonsan and [[Niigata]], Japan. Only available for use by some Japanese and North Korean nationals, the boat service has been suspended indefinitely due to North Korea's reported nuclear testing; Japan has banned all North Korean ships from entering Japanese ports, and has banned North Koreans from entering the country. Be careful about getting too close to the North Korean border in a boat; many South Korean fishermen are still waiting to leave North Korea. Besides the unscheduled ferry there is also a cruise ship that operates between the coast of Northeastern China, and Mt Kumgang. Jointly operated by China and North Korea, the cruise line uses a 40-year-old ship. The cruise trip is 22&nbsp;hr long at each leg, and is 44&nbsp;hr long in total but non-Chinese citizens are not permitted on the cruise to Mount Kumgang. ===By bus=== A bus is available from Dandong, China, across the Yalu River to [[Sinuiju]]. It's run by the "Dandong China Travel Company" but is only open to Chinese citizens. The bus drive from Dandong over the Sino-Korea Friendship Bridge (the same bridge over the Yalu river that the trains take). ==Get around== [[File:Hero Youth Highway in DPRK.jpg|thumb|A typical highway scene in North Korea. Tidy strands of trees with a large and empty road in between]] All your transport needs will be dealt with by your tour company. Most of the time this means buses, although tour groups visiting remote sites (e.g. [[Paekdusan]], Mount Chilbo) occasionally use chartered flights by Air Koryo. Wandering around on your own is not allowed, and you are required to have a guide to escort you at all times. A carefully stage-managed one-station ride on the Pyongyang metro is included on the itinerary of most trips to Pyongyang, but use of any other form of local public transport is generally impossible. Some tours also include a train ride from Pyongyang to the border city of Sinuiju, in which you can stop over in Sinuiju for a 1-day tour, though this option is not available to US citizens. If travelling in a small enough group it is also possible to organise a walk through some areas of Pyongyang with some travel agents (Koryo). ==Talk== [[Image:Sign Hangul.JPG|thumb|240px|Handwritten ''hangul'' in an advertisement]] {{seealso|Korean phrasebook}} The official language is '''[[Korean phrasebook|Korean]]'''. North Koreans are quite picky about referring to Korean as '''''chosŏn-mal''''' (조선말), not ''hangugeo''. The language is rather drastically different from any Western language in its grammar, and pronunciation is rather difficult for the English speaker to get right (though not tonal). It has various dialects; standard North Korean (문화어 ''munhwaŏ'') is ostensibly based on the Pyong'an dialect spoken in Pyongyang, but in reality is still deeply rooted in the [[Seoul]] dialect which was the standard before Korea was split. {{infobox|Differences between North and South Korean|Despite 60 years of separation, the Korean language in both North Korea and South Korea is fundamentally the same. The main differences are around the large amount of English nouns that South Korean has borrowed, whereas North Korean uses indigenous or Russian derived words instead. Descriptions of political and social structures are also completely different as a direct result of the different ideological directions of both countries; the most significant example is that words referring to the ruling Kim family are always '''bolded''' in North Korea.}} The Korean writing system is deceptively simple. Although it looks at first glance to be as complex as Chinese or Japanese, it is a unique and simple alphabetic writing system called '''''chosŏn'gŭl''''' by North Koreans, and hangul (한글 ''hangeul'') by the rest of the world, where letters are stacked up into blocks that represent syllables. It was designed by a committee and looks like simple lines, boxes and little circles, but it is remarkably consistent, logical and quick to pick up. A document from 1446 describing hangul said that '''"A wise man can acquaint himself with them before the morning is over; a stupid man can learn them in the space of ten days."''' Essentially all sources for learning Korean abroad will teach South Korean, which does have slightly different usage: some letters have different names, the sorting order is different, and there are some minor differences in pronunciation and spelling. Unlike South Korea, North Korea has abolished Chinese ''hanja'' characters and uses hangul characters exclusively. North Korea uses its own unique system for romanization of Korean, which is mostly similar to the older McCune–Reischauer system. In South Korea and the rest of the world, Revised Romanization is more common. Most guides will speak fairly decent '''English''' (some better than others) and will translate for you. Some guides can also speak Mandarin, German, Russian, Japanese and Spanish. There is no law preventing citizens of the DPRK from interacting with tourists, although locals are often discouraged from speaking with foreigners and language can prove to be an additional barrier. A visit to the DPRK around their holidays may give you more of a chance to interact with the locals. North Korea has its own sign language, which is not mutually intelligible with Korean Sign Language as used in South Korea; it's unclear if it's related to any other sign languages, or how widespread it is. ==See== [[File:Arirang Mass Games 2013 (10161718564).jpg|thumb|A revolutionary scene from the Arirang Mass Games]] All tours are accompanied by a government minder, who will decide what you can and cannot see. From the moment you leave your hotel, expect to be accompanied by one or more minders. Besides ensuring that tourists do not stray outside of the designated tourist areas, their jobs include inspecting any photographs which they think do not portray North Korea or its government in a good light, and ordering photographers to delete them. It is generally advisable to listen to what your minder is saying, and agree with it. Asking awkward socio-political questions will result in vague, evasive replies at best, and several hours of interrogation at worst. It is always recommended that if you are uncertain about taking pictures anywhere, ask your guide, though allowances seem to vary wildly. You may get a guide that is relatively relaxed and will allow you to take pictures from a bus or within a city. On the other hand, you may get one that will strictly adhere to controlling where you take pictures restricting anything taken from a tour bus or of certain areas, like Pyongyang's city streets, in general. There is simply no way to tell until you are actually on a tour. If you think a particular photograph might be embarrassing to the DPRK in general, ask or simply don't risk taking it at all. Photography of military personnel is also generally prohibited. Again, if in doubt, ask your guide. However, there are instances where it is impossible not to photograph certain sites without including a few military personnel within the picture such as at Mansudae (the monument site for the statues of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il) or at a local funfair. Reactions seem to vary between being ignored to curiosity, although you will be told where taking pictures is strictly prohibited (such as at certain areas of the DMZ), and the guards/soldiers there will react unfavourably to being photographed in general. Other areas where photographs are prohibited include the interior of the Friendship Exhibition, which displays gifts from around the world to Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, and within the Kumsusan Memorial Palace. If you leave the country via train (to [[Beijing]]) your camera will likely be checked for unfavorable photos by the guards. The majority of sightseeing consists of visits to various war memorials, monuments to the Great Leader and the Workers Party of Korea, and numerous museums (mostly war-related, like the statues and monuments). The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a popular destination for most tour groups in North Korea. Whilst you are in North Korea, the prevailing viewpoint places blame on the Americans for starting the Korean War; disagreeing with this position is likely to cause problems for both you and your guide, particularly as the two Koreas are still legally at war with only a cease-fire between them. Despite its misleading name, the DMZ is heavily guarded and dotted with minefields and other booby-traps. Under no circumstances should you stray from your group, or take any photographs of military installations. However, the "peace village" [[Panmunjom]] may be photographed, and boasts the world's third tallest flagpole. Whilst on these guided tours, especially to the state museums and monuments, you will undoubtedly endure an ongoing barrage of propaganda, consisting largely of anecdotes about things that Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il did for their country. Some of these claims may seem bizarre and even amusing to the outsider; however, a straight face is generally advisable. It is generally safest to at least appear to take everything they say seriously, even if it contradicts everything you were ever taught in history class or defies even the most basic human reasoning. ===Sights=== [[File:Landscape with Mountains in North Korea.JPG|thumb|Mountainous landscapes near Kaesong]] So, with all this practical information being said, what are the places to go? A good part of the important attractions you'll be shown are in '''[[Pyongyang]]'''. There's the large '''Kim Il-sung Square''', where the famously grand military parades take place. Even without the parades, though, it's an impressive square, and on it is the '''Grand People’s Study House'''. This gigantic library and learning centre is home to over 30 million books and a modern system of conveyor belts to get you the one you need. Also on the square are two museums, of which — the '''Korean National Art Gallery''' — is the more interesting one. The other great landmark of the nation's capital is its '''Triumphal Arch'''. Slightly bigger than its Parisian counterpart, it is in fact the largest arch of its kind in the world. Another landmark you'll be proudly shown are the large bronze '''statues of the Great Leader and Kim Jong-il'''. Respectfully join the locals in their serious undertakings to honour the statues, which are a key element of the devotion cult around the national leaders. For a better chance of some casual conversations with locals, try the pleasant Pyongyang '''zoo'''. Take a daytrip to the birthplace of the Great Leader in Mangyongdae and of course, visit the '''Kumsusan Palace of the Sun''' where both the previous Kim's embalmed bodies are on display. No trip to North Korea is complete without an extensive glance at the uneasy and heavily fortified border stand-off at '''[[Panmunjeom]]''', or the Joint Security Area. Not far from here is the town of '''[[Kaesong]]''', with a lovely old town and the [[UNESCO]]-listed '''tomb of King Kongmin'''. For stunning natural sights, try reaching '''[[Kumgangsan]]''', or the ''Diamond Mountains'', where you'll find beautiful vistas, waterfalls, lakes and ancient '''Buddhist temples'''. ==Do== [[File:Statues at the Tomb of King Wanggon (10104313105).jpg|thumb|Statues at the tomb of King Wanggon, the founder of the Goryeo Dynasty, in [[Kaesong]]]] As mentioned above, there is very little to do beyond the watchful eye of your designated minders, with most recreational activity taking place within the confines of the tourist resorts. Bowling and karaoke are among the latest additions to its surprising plethora of recreational activities. The karaoke videos are often accompanied by dramatic historical footage of the Korean War, or goose-stepping People's Army soldiers. North Korea has three amusement parks, two of which are abandoned due to mutual lack of interest and electricity. The Kaeson Youth Fair has now closed, taking the infamous "Roller Coaster of Death" along with it. Still visible are the shooting-galleries with backdrops of snarling American and Japanese soldiers; however, it is unlikely that your guide will let you venture into any abandoned areas. The one remaining amusement park contains some rides which are actually quite modern and non-lethal, at least by North Korean standards, and is about as worthy of a visit as everything else you'll see whilst in North Korea. The nightlife in [[Pyongyang]] is remarkably safe and non-violent, compared to the capitals of other nations (except maybe [[Reykjavík]] in [[Iceland]]); in general, the civilians are not a threat. The plain-clothes secret police, however, may or may not be a threat, depending on what you say or do. Popular music in North Korea consists largely of 1980s hits from anglophone countries and traditional Korean folk songs You will not find newspapers or magazines from outside North Korea (since media from outside the country is generally banned for ordinary North Koreans). Foreign broadcasts are jammed and the only radio and television allowed is government propaganda, although several international news outlets (including BBC World News and NHK World) are available in tourist hotels. Fortunately, alcohol is cheap and plentiful, although it is not advisable to become intoxicated and make a scene of oneself. Furthermore, both the trafficking and consumption of narcotics are punished ''very'' severely by authorities; traffickers can expect to face the death penalty if caught. Finally, power cuts may hit without warning in the middle of any activity. Whilst you might welcome this if the jukebox is starting to get to you, this is not a desirable outcome if you are in the middle of an amusement-park ride, particularly as these blackouts can last for hours at a time. The '''Masikryong ski resort,''' North Korea's only ski resort, opened in winter 2013. Located near the western city of Wonsan, a visit to the resort may be included as part of a wider DPRK tour. ==Buy== ===Money=== {{infobox|Currency in North Korea|Most short-term tourists in North Korea will not encounter the local currency at all, as the restaurants and souvenir shops geared towards tourists will deal exclusively in hard currency — U.S. dollars, euros, or Chinese yuan. Prices in these stores are listed roughly in U.S. cents. Vendors will rarely have change available, and having small bills to make change yourself will be very helpful in not being over-charged for purchases. Longer term visitors to Pyongyang should consider getting a debit card (labeled 전자결제카드, ''jeonjagyeoljekadeu'') to make getting change easier. These can usually be bought at the Pyongyang store in the diplomatic compound for US$5, and can be used and recharged at most foreigner-targeted stores around the city. Markets, road-side stands, and stores targeting locals will deal in North Korean won. There are several booths around the city which are able to convert foreign currency into won. The largest note is ₩5000, roughly the cost of a Coke. The smallest is ₩5, which is used for the metro. Notes under ₩500 are generally not used. If you want smaller notes, ask to convert 1 or 5 Chinese yuan at a currency exchange booth. You may get a strange look, but likely will be given some of the harder to find ₩5 and ₩10 notes.}} The currency is the North Korean '''won''', denoted by the symbol '''₩''' (ISO code: '''KPW''') and not typically available to foreigners, except some old North Korean won sold for souvenir. Black market exchange rates (especially in far northern Korea, near the Chinese border) may easily be 20 times the official rate, but importing or exporting Korean won is strictly forbidden. North Korean won is practically worthless outside the country but can make unique souvenirs. Foreigners are expected to use euros or as an alternative Chinese renminbi, US dollars or Japanese yen. Currency handling is often bizarre, with a frequent lack of change and a number of rule-of-thumb conversions leading to highly unorthodox transactions, so be sure to bring lots of small change. On a typical tour most expenses such as hotel, transportation, and meals will have been paid in advance, and therefore your only expenses may be bottled water, souvenirs, snacks, drinks at the bars, laundry at the hotel and tips for your guides. In any case, the only shops you will be likely allowed to visit are the state-run souvenir shops at your hotel and at the various tourist attractions. It is generally not possible to visit a real local shop which serves the local population, though you might get lucky asking your guide if he/she trusts you enough. Some tours include a visit to a department store. ===Souvenirs=== [[File:Pyongyang store3.JPG|thumb|A special store for foreigners in Pyongyang, with most merchandise imported from China]] {{cautionbox|Planning to enter [[South Korea]] after your visit to North Korea? The South has very strict laws, including the National Security Act, on the import and possession of North Korean propaganda. Do not attempt to bring anything into South Korea that could be construed as North Korean propaganda, including images of North Korean leaders such as stamps or postcards. North Korean biographies and books are also illegal.}} There are numerous hard-currency only souvenir shops at tourist sites. Interesting souvenirs include propaganda books and videos, postcards and postage stamps. At some tourist sites (such as King Kongmin's tomb), you can purchase freshly finished paintings with your name and the artist's name at the bottom. You can buy [[postal service|postcards]] and send them to people in any country except South Korea which apparently will not deliver them. Some excellent paintings on silk or linen have been available in Kaesong directly from the artist. Haggling for better prices is not permitted but the prices are very low. ===Costs=== Most costs are included as part of your tour. Most sights have a shop associated with them where you can buy bottled water, souvenirs and snacks. These are reasonably priced. In September 2017, large bottles of local beer cost US$2 at the hotel bars in Pyongyang. €200 for one week should be enough to cover your costs of water, drinks at the bars, souvenirs and tips for the guides. ==Eat== [[File:Hibachi restaurant at Haedanghwa Health Complex - North Korea (10392326233).jpg|thumb|The ''Hibachi'' restaurant in the Haedanghwa Health Complex in Pyongyang]] {{see also|Korean cuisine}} As with most other aspects of visiting North Korea, catering is usually organized in advance as part of your tour. Vegetarians and people with food allergies or dislikes of common foods such as seafood or eggs will need to make arrangements in advance. A visit to a "real" local restaurant may be possible; enquire with your guide. Shortages of supplies, combined with the typical use of Korean cooking styles, mean that there is a relatively limited variety of food — and this can get wearying on tours of more than a few days. There are a few Western food options now in Pyongyang and these restaurants can usually be visited if arranged with the guides in advance. They will usually require additional payment though, unless you have discussed this already with your tour operator, as the costs are not included in the ''per diem'' fee charged by the Korean Travel Company. There are two Italian restaurants (one on Kwangbok Street which is near the Korean circus where the pizza is great, and they have imported a pizza oven and all the ingredients so the quality is very high; and one near the USS ''Pueblo'') and two burger restaurants (the more accessible is in the Youth Hotel). Both are inexpensive and do inject some flavor onto a generally lackluster eating scene, especially on long tours. Visit the Vienna coffee house, which is on the river side of Kim Jong Il square, for a good coffee similar to those common in Europe. ==Drink== The local speciality is '''''insam-ju''''', Korean vodka infused with ginseng roots. Locally made Taedonggang beer is very good. The brewery was purchased from Ushers in the UK and physically moved to Pyongyang, and some of the ''soju'' are not bad either. Local alcohol is inexpensive; a 650&nbsp;ml bottle of beer is €0.50. Imported beers, such as Heineken, are also available at similar prices. However do not get drunk and cause trouble. Toe the line and show respect, or you and your guide will face serious penalties. It is advisable to stick to bottled water for drinking as the tap water is not always properly treated. [[Image:Ryugyong Hotel - August 27, 2011 (Cropped).jpg|thumb|The still unfinished Ryugyong Hotel in [[Pyongyang|P'y&#335;ngyang]]]] ==Sleep== This is likely to be your principal expense while in North Korea. You may only stay at "designated tourist hotels", for which you will need to pay in hard currency. There may be discounts if you ask for lower class accommodation, if you are travelling as part of a group, or if it is low season (November – March). Costs for your tour, which will include accommodation, all sightseeing activities and meals, will range from US$70 to US$200 a day, depending on these factors. Usually you pay for all your meals, hotel and Beijing–Pyongyang journey to your tour operator before you leave. One week in high season at a four-star hotel will then cost something between €1,300 and €1,600, depending on your tour operator, but might get as low as €800 for one week. ==Learn== [[File:North Korea-Pyongyang-Kim Il-sung University-01.jpg|thumbnail|Kim Il Sung University]] It can be difficult for foreigners to become students in North Korea, although university exchange programmes may be possible. The [http://www.pyongyangproject.org/ Pyongyang Project] arranges tours of North Korea with an academic focus, with the aim of participants learning about the country rather than just sightseeing. [http://www.ybu.edu.cn/ Yanbian University], in the [[Yanbian]] Korean Autonomous Prefecture in north eastern [[China]] is closely affiliated with other universities in North Korea and can offer relevant courses for learning about North Korea. ==Work== If you are interested in teaching in North Korea, you may find success by contacting the North Korean UN Mission in New York, or contacting a North Korean university directly. Your odds of success are, however, quite low: there is only a small team of 4 English Language Instructors dealing with teaching and teacher training, with a Project Manager leading the team of three, placed in Kim Il Sung University, Pyongyang University of Foreign Studies and Kim Hyung Jik University of Education. There is an opportunity to teach in [http://www.the-psi.org/ the Pyongyang Summer Institute] during summer time when it is opened to foreigners. It's voluntary, unpaid work, though. ==Stay safe== {{warningbox|'''Do not''' criticise or show any kind of disrespect to the '''Kim dynasty''', the '''North Korean government''', '''North Korean citizens''', the '''Juche ideology''', the '''Songun (military first) policy''', or the '''country in general'''. Simply avoid these topics if you can, even if you're in a room with no North Koreans present (the government has been known to plant recording devices). Anyone you speak to is likely to be affiliated with the North Korean government, and you should always respond accordingly should sensitive topics arise. You and your guide could potentially face serious trouble if you answer incorrectly, although your guide will probably bear the worst of it. North Korea is known for extremely harsh punishments which range from lengthy prison sentences to a lifetime of severe mistreatment and torture.|lastedit=}} Crime levels are practically zero, at least to tourists on a strictly controlled tour. However, pickpockets are the least of your worries. North Korea is an '''authoritarian dictatorship''' and is generally considered to have the '''worst human rights record in the world'''. The authorities are very touchy, and you need to watch what you say and how you say it. Just do what the guides do, praise every stop on your tour, and remember the rule, "If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all." The official policy is that '''you are not to wander around on your own'''. You are expected to get permission and/or have a guide accompany you if you are leaving your hotel on your own. This will vary depending on what hotel you are in. The Yanggakdo Hotel is on an island in the middle of the Taedong River in Pyongyang. Therefore you can walk around the area a little more freely than if you are at the Koryo Hotel right in the centre of town. You should always be friendly and courteous to your guides and driver who will normally reciprocate by trusting you more and giving you more freedom. When taking '''photographs''', exercise restraint, caution and common sense. If you appear to be looking for negative images of North Korea, the guides will not be happy and will tell you to delete any questionable images. In particular, you are not to take photos of anything military, including personnel, or anything showing the DPRK in a bad light. Your photographic freedom can largely depend on the type of guides that you are assigned and the rapport that you have with them. In a best case scenario, you can often take pictures without feeling as if you're trying to sneak them by anyone and without pressure capturing some truly unique images. If you are in an area that prohibits picture taking, you will also be informed of this and it is best to simply follow your guide's direction. When in doubt, always ask. Your guide might even want to try out your camera and take a picture of you for your collection. In a worst-case scenario, you can be expected to raise your camera at a reasonable speed, compose and take the picture, and lower the camera at a reasonable speed. Don't try to take pictures of anything that you have been told not to, such as military personnel or certain locales. This may call attention to yourself and the image you are trying to take and can result, whether justified or not, in your being told to delete the image. Digital cameras are commonly inspected when leaving the country by train. A simple workaround is to leave a memory card with innocuous snaps in the camera and file away any cards with ideologically dubious content. '''Visitors of Korean descent should never reveal this fact.''' North Koreans have a very strong sense of ethnic belonging and this will inevitably draw unwanted attention to you. Furthermore, if you run into trouble then holding a foreign passport will not count for much if you are considered a Korean by the authorities. Visitors have also been targeted for '''political''' reasons; in 2013, an 85-year-old American citizen was arrested, briefly incarcerated and expelled by the DPRK because of his military service during the Korean War. '''Drug trafficking''' and the consumption of '''narcotics''' can be '''punishable by death''' in North Korea. '''Marijuana''', however, is legal and often found growing freely alongside the road in North Korea. It is strongly recommended that you '''avoid bringing religious texts or performing any religious activity'''. In 2012, [[w:Kenneth Bae|Kenneth Bae]], an American Christian missionary, was arrested for his religious activities in North Korea, and was sentenced to 15 years of hard labour (however, he was released nine months later). Another American, [[w:Jeffrey Fowle|Jeffrey Fowle]], was arrested for leaving a Bible at a North Korean nightclub, and spent six months in a North Korean jail. ===Emergency numbers=== * From a fixed-line phone: '''119''' * From a mobile phone: '''112''' For medical emergencies in Pyongyang, dial 02 382-7688 locally. ==Stay healthy== '''[[Drinking water]]''' in North Korea is apparently untreated and there are reports of foreigners being hospitalized in the DPRK after drinking the water; therefore, sticking to bottled water is highly recommended. Medical facilities are clean although very outdated. If you fall ill then you might be better off going to China for medical treatment. Contact your embassy or consulate in North Korea (if your country has one) for assistance. ==Respect== [[File:Mansudae Grand Monument (10104320806).jpg|thumb|The first two generations of the Kim dynasty together]] Despite the sharp political differences, North and South Koreans share a common culture; the various respect tips in the [[South_Korea#Respect|South Korea]] article apply here. === Tour conduct === The best way to stay out of trouble is to obey and respect your guide(s). If a guide asks you to obey the tour rules, '''do it'''. Any time you engage in unbecoming conduct, your guide will be blamed for being unable to control you, and they will be penalised for your misbehaviour. Always think before you act, and think before you speak; your actions can and will be reflected upon others, no matter how big or small, and tourists could face restrictions on what they can do in the country because of your behaviour. Whenever you feel tempted to do something, ask yourself, "How will my actions negatively impact myself and other people?" Make that a rule during your stay and keep that in mind at all times. As aforementioned, if you're not prepared to accept severe limitations on your behaviour and movement, you should not travel to North Korea. North Korea isn't for everyone, even for the most seasoned of travellers. Consider giving small gifts like cigarettes, skin cream, and so on to your guides. This will garner respect from the guides, and depending on how well you conduct yourself, they may even take you places and events in North Korea that they wouldn't normally go to. Although there are many great photo opportunities in North Korea, '''the DPRK has very strict photography laws'''. This largely depends on what guide you've been assigned. If you're in doubt, just ask. There's no harm in asking the guide(s) at all. Never, ever, take photographs of anything of strategic importance (i.e. places with soldiers/policemen, etc.) and/or things you've been told not to photograph. Also, '''don't take photographs of things that can negatively portray North Korea'''. The North Korean authorities take this rule very seriously. === Sensitive issues === It is important to emphasize that the government of the DPRK — in particular the leaders Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il and Kim Jong-un — are, at least publicly, very highly revered in North Korean culture. While slavish devotion is not expected from tourists, '''criticism of the Kim dynasty, the Workers Party of Korea, and/or Juche is unwise'''; it can get you into serious trouble. Similarly, '''don't even think about''' asking a North Korean about what they think about their country's political situation. It is advisable to refer to North Korea as the DPRK instead when discussing it with your guides. DPRK stands for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and is the official name for the country reflecting their belief that the south (not capitalized) is occupied territory. You will also notice this referenced in their literature in the same way (i.e. as "south Korea"). When speaking Korean, South Korea should be referred as "South Chosun" (남조선/南朝鮮) instead of "Hanguk" (한국/韓國). Most, if not all, tour groups to the DPRK are asked to solemnly bow and lay flowers on one or two occasions in front of statues of Kim Il Sung when visiting monuments of national importance. '''If you're not prepared to do this, do not even try to enter North Korea.''' Just be sure you always act in a respectful manner around images of the two leaders. This includes taking respectful photos of any image of them. When photographing statues, especially Mansudae, be sure to get the entire statue in the photo. Formal dress is also expected at important monuments such as Mansudae or in visiting the Kumsusang Memorial Palace. ===Religion=== North Korea is officially atheist. The regime promotes a national philosophy of self-reliance called ''Juche'' (주체) which some would categorize as a political religion that pervades all aspects of life in the country. As a tourist, you will not be expected to observe this, although you must always be respectful towards symbols of ''Juche'' which are often the images of past and present leaders Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il and Kim Jong-un. Other religions such as Christianity and Buddhism are vigorously suppressed in practice with severe punishment being given to followers. You should refrain from any religious discussions during your time in North Korea, and be aware that any form of religious proselytizing is dealt with very seriously by the regime, with foreign missionaries having previously been sentenced to life imprisonment in labor camps. With this in mind, be careful of performing even personal religious rituals or bringing religious items into the country and preferably do not do so at all. ==Connect== ===By phone=== For international calls to North Korea, the country code is '''+850'''. Some phone numbers (mostly faxes) can be called directly from abroad; most other calls will need to go through the international operator service on +850-2-18111. International calling is generally possible via landlines in hotels, though it is expensive (€2 per minute as of Feb 2012) and all calls are likely recorded and monitored. Local calls need elusive 10&nbsp;chon coins when calling from call boxes, but can also be made from hotels and post offices. Additionally, your phone calls may be heavily monitored, so you should be careful of what you talk about in phone calls that you make in North Korea. ====Mobile phones==== As of January 2013, you are allowed to carry a [[Mobile phones|mobile phone]] from outside the country into North Korea. You will not be able to use your current SIM card in North Korea, however. The only network you are allowed to connect to is the local network, Koryolink, via one of their SIM cards. Your phone must be a 3G WCDMA phone which can connect to the 2100MHz 3G frequency band. A 3G mobile phone network (Koryolink) was introduced in Pyongyang in 2008 and now covers the 42 largest cities. It is widely used by locals who can afford it and by long-staying foreigners who file an application. SIM cards and phones can be purchased at the International Communication Center, No.2 Pothonggang-dong in Pothonggang District, opposite the Pyongyang Indoor Stadium, as well as at Pyongyang airport and some hotels. As of 25 Feb 2013, 3G mobile internet via Koryolink is available to foreigners, although pricing is unknown. Bear in mind that these SIM cards will only let you call internationally and to a very small number of internationally-enabled phones in North Korea. There are three plans you can choose from for your SIM card: #Purchase a prepaid SIM card for €50. This gives you the SIM card to keep indefinitely for return visits, and includes a small amount (less than €30) of calling credit. #Rent a prepaid SIM card for two weeks for €50. This includes €30 of calling credit. #Rent a prepaid SIM card for one month for €75. This includes €55 of calling credit. Calling rates are as follows: *China and South-East Asia: €1.43 per minute. *Russia: €0.68 per minute. *France and Switzerland: €0.38 per minute. *U.K. and Germany: €1.58 per minute. ===By Internet=== Internet facilities are limited to a very few North Koreans with appropriate privileges to use it. For foreigners, most of the larger hotels have Internet access available, but this needs to be applied for some days in advance. Advise your tour operator or inviting party of your requirements well ahead of time so that access permission can be arranged. There are no public internet cafés or business centres with web access in the hotels. Mobile internet is available via Koryolink's 3G network (see above) using a local SIM card, but details about this are scarce. Also, even if you have Internet access, your traffic will probably be monitored. There is very little Internet connectivity in North Korea; the little that exists is routed through mainland China and risks heavy censorship by that country's Golden Shield Project, the "[[China#Internet censorship|Great Firewall of China]]". ==Cope== There is a growing diplomatic presence of [[Pyongyang#Embassies|foreign embassies in Pyongyang]]. Find out beforehand which country can assist you in case of an emergency, such as a medical condition or a police incident. Sweden serves as the protecting power for American, Australian, and Canadian travellers in North Korea, so these visitors may be able to obtain limited consular services from the Swedish embassy in Pyongyang. American nationals are not allowed by the U.S. Department of State to visit North Korea, although if you must then it is still recommended to notify (by email) the Swedish embassy of your visit to North Korea, as well as to inform the U.S. embassy in Beijing, China, particularly if your trip to North Korea entails passing through China. The British embassy offers consular services to Commonwealth citizens who do not have representation through other countries, except for Singaporeans and Tanzanians, whose governments have opted out of this arrangement. {{isPartOf|East Asia}} {{usablecountry}} {{geo|40.4|127|zoom=7}} 1l0virro6l069bkwmcx74ieg5ciza1f 4496041 4496040 2022-08-06T11:04:00Z The History Wizard of Cambridge 2274323 Questionable sources wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|NK_Banner.jpg}} {{warningbox|The United States forbids travel to North Korea on U.S. passports without special permission, and such travel is a crime punishable under U.S. law.

It's located in [[East Asia]] on the [[Korean Peninsula]], which has been divided between North and [[South Korea]] since the 1950s. Travel provides the opportunity to see the last frontier of the [[Cold War]], where a society still runs under a strict Stalinist governance with an emphasis on the military, and economic development lags visibly behind the other nations in the region. Tourists may only travel to North Korea as part of a guided tour and independent travel is not permitted. Visitors are constantly monitored in order to ensure their interactions with local people are managed, so as to prevent activities such as taking "unsuitable" photos, criticism of North Korea, disrespect towards the Great Leader, or talking to locals without permission. About 1,500 Western tourists visit North Korea every year. Most complete the journey without incident, as long as they follow their ever-present guides. Incidents have occurred, and when they do then due process is hard to come by. The most likely consequence of any [[authority trouble|trouble with the authorities]] is a period of detention before deportation. You should not travel to North Korea if you are not prepared to accept severe limitations on your movement and behavior, or the risk of arbitrary, indefinite detention. ==Regions== {{Regionlist | regionmap=North_Korea_Regions_Map.png | regionmapsize=430px | region1name=[[Donghae Coast]] | region1color=#86B9DB | region1items=[[Chongjin]], [[Hamhung]], [[Rason]], North Hamgyong, South Hamgyong, Kangwon, K&#365;mgang-san | region1description= | region2name=[[Baekdu Mountains]] | region2color=#B383B3 | region2items=Ryanggang, Chagang | region2description= | region3name=[[Pyongan]] | region3color=#6DA0A6 | region3items=North P'yongan, South P'yongan, [[Kaechon]], [[Nampho]], [[Pyongyang]], [[Shinuiju]] | region3description= | region4name=[[Hwanghae]] | region4color=#D5A664 | region4items=North Hwanghae, South Hwanghae, [[Kaesong]] | region4description= }} ==Cities== <!--Cities and Other destinations lists are limited to 9 items.

Comb-pattern pottery culture peaked around 3500-2000&nbsp;BC. Legend has it that Korea began with the founding of Gojoseon (also called ''Ancient Chosun'') by the legendary Dangun in 2333&nbsp;BC. Archeological and contemporaneous written records of Gojoseon as a kingdom date back to around 7th-4th century BC. Gojoseon was eventually defeated by the Chinese Han Dynasty in 108 BC and its territories were governed by four Chinese commanderies, but this did not last long. Natives of the peninsula and Manchuria soon reclaimed the territory, namely the Three Kingdoms of Korea, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje. The '''Goguryeo Kingdom''' (or Koguryo) ruled the entire area of modern North Korea, as well as parts of Manchuria and the northern parts of modern South Korea. Buddhist and Confucian teachings were prominent in the Goguryeo Kingdom, which adopted Buddhism as the state religion in 372. Despite repeated attempts by China, namely the Sui Dynasty and later the Tang Dynasty, to conquer the Korean Peninsula, northern-based Goguryeo managed to repel them. Eventually, Goguryeo fell to a Silla-Tang alliance, which had earlier defeated Baekje. This unified Korea under the Silla dynasty. Even though Tang later invaded, Silla forces managed to drive them out, thus maintaining Korea's independence. Unified Silla was replaced by the Goryeo (also called ''Koryo'') dynasty, from which the modern name "Korea" derives. One highlight of the Goryeo dynasty was that in 1234 the world's first metal movable type was invented by a Korean named Choe Yun-ui (200 years before Gutenberg's printing press). Buddhist learning spread during this time and the former Baekje and Goguryeo leaders were treated well. The kingdom saw relative peace until the 8th and 9th centuries when clan leaders led uprisings and toppled the Silla, establishing the Goryeo Dynasty from which the name "Korea" was derived by Westerners. During this period, the nation suffered Mongol invasions, which led to unrest and the eventual establishment of the Joseon Dynasty in 1392. {{quickbar|location=LocationNorthKorea.png}} ====Joseon Dynasty==== The Joseon Dynasty was one of the longest-running dynasties in the world (512 years), ruling from 1392 until 1910. '''King Sejong the Great''''s rule was especially celebrated, as he helped create the Korean script, ''choson'gul'', which allowed even the commoners to become literate. He also expanded the nation's military power to drive out Japanese pirates and northern nomads and regain territories that had been lost. The Japanese invaded Korea under the leadership of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, though the Joseon Dynasty managed to drive them out with the support of China's Ming Dynasty, albeit with heavy losses in the Korean peninsula. In spite of its losses, the nation experienced about 200 years of peace, and its isolationist policies allowed it to further develop a uniquely Korean culture and identity. Rapid modernisation stirred by the Second Industrial Revolution created tension between China and Japan as they felt the pressures of Western expansionism, each wanting to extend their influence over Korea. Ensuing wars between Japan, China and Russia led to increasing Japanese influence over the peninsula, resulting in Korea's status as a vassal state of Imperial China ending in 1895, and Japan annexing Korea outright in 1910, marking the end of the Joseon dynasty and Korean independence. ====Japanese occupation and a divided Korea==== {{seealso|Korean War}} Japan ruled the Korea as a colony until its defeat in [[Pacific War|World War II]] in 1945. During that period, the Japanese committed numerous atrocities including massacres, and forced many Korean women to become "comfort women"; sex slaves in Japanese military brothels. Moreover, Japan instituted a cultural assimilation policy, forcing the Koreans to adopt Japanese names, and forbidding them from speaking the Korean language. Japan was forced to give up control of all its colonies after is defeat in World War II in 1945, and the Allied Powers divided Korea along the 38th Parallel, with the Soviet Union occupying the northern half and the United States occupying the southern half. The divide was supposed to be temporary; however, the political power struggle between the two nations to gain influence over the unified Korea led each to establish governments within their newly created territories. North Korea was established as its own nation in 1948 with the support of the Soviet Union, following the Soviet Communist model, with Kim Il-Sung as its leader, while at about the same time, Syngman Rhee established a capitalist regime with the support of the United States in the south. Agitation between the North and South came to a head in 1950 when the North started the '''Korean War''' by attempting to reunify the country under its terms by launching an invasion. The Soviet Union and China fought alongside the North against the South, who were in turn backed by the United Nations (UN) forces led by the [[United States]]. The UN forces drove the North Korean forces all the way up to the Chinese border, whereupon Chinese reinforcements forced the UN forces to be driven back south. The war finally resulted in the signing of an armistice in 1953, largely maintaining the original borders set prior to the war. Because no peace treaty has been signed since the armistice, the nations of [[South Korea]] and North Korea are officially still at war. ====Modern North Korea==== [[File:Party Foundation Monument (10875731074).jpg|thumb|The symbols of the Korean Workers' Party: the hammer for the worker, the sickle for the peasant, and the brush for the intellectual]] [[File:Laika ac Pyongyang (7968448156).jpg|thumbnail|Communist propaganda in Pyongyang]] With the nation in shambles after the war, Kim Il-Sung launched a campaign to unite the people by defaming the [[United States]] with Soviet support and purging the nation of dissidents and anyone thought to oppose him. He sided with China during the Sino-Soviet Split on Communist philosophy because he disliked Krushchev's reforms but began to praise the Soviet Union once again when China underwent its Cultural Revolution, straining relations with both neighbors. Consequently, he developed his own ideology, '''''Juche''''' ("self-reliance"), to create the sort of Communism he wanted for his nation. Throughout his life, Kim Il-Sung added to and clarified the Juche ideology in order to justify his governing decisions. The Korean War not only divided the people, but it also divided the labor force. When the peninsula was united, North Korea had most of the nation's industries while South Korea was the agricultural center. This divide allowed North Korea to initially bounce back faster than the South in the rebuilding process. The Soviet Union then funded agricultural efforts in the North, in accordance with the Communist model. This system began to unravel in the late 1970s and 1980s as the Soviet system began to falter. With the end of Soviet aid following its dissolution in 1991, there was no way to continue to support the agricultural systems' needs for fuel, fertilizer and equipment. After so many years of government mismanagement, and the bad timing of severe flooding, the North's agricultural system collapsed in the mid-1990s, leading to widespread famine and death for countless North Koreans. The death of Kim Il-Sung in 1994 took place while the nation tried to deal with the crisis, slowing government response as the new leader, Kim Jong-Il, took his father's position. The North finally allowed international relief agencies to assist, and the worst aspects of the famine were contained. However, the DPRK continues to rely heavily on international food aid to feed its population while at the same time continuing to expend resources on its ''songun'', or "military first", policy, which Kim Jong-Il introduced and used in conjunction with his father's ''Juche'' ideology (which he "interpreted"). Today the DPRK maintains an army of about 1 million infantrymen, most stationed close to the DMZ which divides the two Koreas. North Korea's long-range missile development and research into nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and massive conventional armed forces are of major concern to the international community. In December 2002, Kim Jong-Il reneged on a 1994 "Agreed Framework" signed by his father which required the shut down of its nuclear reactors, expelling UN monitors and further raising fears that the nation would produce nuclear weapons. Missile testing was conducted in 1998, 2006 and April 2009. In October 2006 North Korea announced that it had conducted its first nuclear test. These actions have led to UN and other international sanctions. Current negotiations, most notably the "Six-Party Talks" involving China, Russia, Japan, North Korea, South Korea and the United States, are aimed at bringing about an end to the DPRK nuclear weapons program, in hopes that a peace treaty to officially end the Korean War may finally be agreed upon, paving the way for the opening of diplomatic ties between North Korea and the United States. Unfortunately, in March 2010, a South Korean ship was sunk near the 38th parallel, increasing tensions between North and South Korea. Although North Korea claims not to have attacked the ship, the blame has largely been placed on North Korea. The death of Kim Jong-Il in late 2011 created a measure of uncertainty during the transfer of power to his son Kim Jong-Un; though the country has appeared to have stabilized since, considerable tensions have occurred intermittently. ===Government and politics=== North Korea is a totalitarian dictatorship. The government is led by the State Affairs Commission (SAC), which sets national policy and is directly responsible for the military. The supreme leader (Kim Jong-un) is chairman of the SAC, as well as head of the Workers' Party of Korea and several other positions. Atop the administrative branch of the government is the cabinet, which is headed by the premier (like a prime minister). The cabinet is appointed by the unicameral Supreme People's Assembly (SPA) which heads the legislative branch, although bills are drafted by the Party and the almost 700-person SPA almost always passes them without debate or modification. Moreover, it's in recess all but a few days a year, leaving most authority in the hands of the 15-person Presidium. The judiciary is headed by the Supreme Court, whose three justices are elected, partisan, and accountable to the SPA. The judiciary is not independent and does not have the power to overrule the legislative or executive branches of government, and interference from security forces is a widespread problem. ===People=== North Korea may be the most ethnically homogeneous nation on earth, with everyone being Korean save for a few hundred foreigners. These foreigners are mostly diplomatic or aid agency workers, along with a small population of Japanese who have Korean ancestry. Almost no South Koreans live in North Korea. North Korean society is strongly divided and organised along a caste system known as ''Songun''. Membership of one of three main groups is determined not only by an individual's political, social and economic background, but also that of their family for the previous three generations. Education and professional opportunities are effectively defined by an individual's class. ===Climate=== [[File:Pyongyang.jpg|thumb|Pyongyang seen in the morning]] The climate is generally classed as continental, with rainfall concentrated in summer. Summer months are warm, but winter temperatures can fall as low as -30°C. Late spring droughts are often followed by severe flooding. There are occasional typhoons during the early autumn. ===Terrain=== Mostly hills and mountains separated by deep, narrow valleys; coastal plains are wide in the west and discontinuous in the east. The mountainous interior is both isolated and sparsely populated. ===Read=== ''The Accusation'', by Bandi. A collection of short stories, published abroad by a pseudonymous North Korean writer, that are highly critical of the Kim regime and full of piercing insight into its contradictions and cruelties. Uniquely among North Korean dissident literature, they were published with their author still living in the country. ''Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea'', Barbara Demick. An excellent book recounting the lives of six North Koreans who managed to defect and find their way to South Korea. Provides a compelling picture of the miseries and occasional beauty in the lives of ordinary North Koreans during the famine of the 1990s. {{ISBN|0385523912}} ''Eyes of the Tailless Animals: Prison Memoirs of a North Korean Woman'', by Soon Ok Lee. First-hand accounts of the prison system within North Korea ''Escape from Camp 14: One Man's Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West'', by Blaine Harden. The riveting story of Shin Dong-hyuk, one of the only known surviving escapees of a North Korean prison camp, and his perilous journey out of the country. ''Without You There Is No Us'', by Suki Kim. A fascinating piece of investigative journalism about teaching English as a foreigner in Pyongyang. ==Get in== {{VisaRestriction|The US State Department issued a travel ban prohibiting travel to North Korea on a United States passport. Very limited exceptions may be granted, mostly for journalists and aid workers; [https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/requirements/passport-for-travel-to-north-korea.html details here]. People who have visited North Korea are not allowed to enter the U.S. under the visa-waiver program, and must apply for a U.S. visa instead. <small>[https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/north-korea-travel-advisory.html Travel Warning]</small>}} {{COVID-19 box|North Korea has '''shut down''' its border to foreign tourists.|lastedit=2021-11-27}} Visiting North Korea can be challenging and you will not have the freedom to explore the country without a North Korean escort, either as part of a group or individual tour. Entry conditions change frequently and without notice depending on the geopolitical situation. For example, North Korea was virtually closed to tourism between October 2014 and March 2015 due to an Ebola scare, despite there being no cases of the disease in or anywhere near the country. ===Visas=== [[File:Visa policy of North Korea (DPR Korea).png|thumbnail|Visa policy of North Korea]] [[File:DPRK tourist card.jpg|thumbnail|Tourist card]] In accordance with North Korean law, '''everyone needs a visa''' to visit North Korea. Tourists typically arrange a tourist visa through booking a tour with a travel agency that organises such tours. The travel agencies will usually deal with the visa on their behalf, although in some cases tourists are required to have a short telephone interview with the North Korean embassy in order to verify their identity and their job. In most cases the interview is conducted in a friendly manner so it is nothing to be worried about. Visas are often only confirmed on the day before the tour, but rarely will a tourist ever be rejected unless you show that you are of political status or a journalist. North Korean tourists visas are often issued on a tourist card. If joining a tour group, group visas are often issued on separate sheets of papers containing all the members of the group, attached with a tourist card that bear the name of the tour leader. This visa itself is never held by the tourists, although tourists can ask to take a photo of their visa. In any case no stamp will be placed in the passport. The only way where a visa and entrance stamp will be stamped on the passport is when the visa is issued within a North Korean embassy in Europe. ====Additional restrictions==== '''Journalists''' or those suspected of being journalists require special permission, which is quite difficult to obtain. The North Koreans do not allow journalists to visit the country on tourist visas. Citizens of '''Malaysia''' were being prevented from leaving North Korea after the March 2017 assassination of Kim Jong-Nam, where Malaysia wanted several North Korean diplomats and nationals for questioning. While restrictions for Malaysians leaving North Korea have now been lifted, the era of visa-free travel between these once relatively 'friendly' countries is over. Citizens of '''South Korea''' are not permitted to enter North Korea unless they have permission from the governments of both the North, for entry, and the South from the Ministry of Unification (통일부). South Korean citizens may face a lengthy prison sentence under the National Security Act (국가보안법) on their return if they do not obtain permission beforehand. South Korean citizens travelling to North Korea on a passport from a different country still risk prosecution. Contrary to rumour, '''Israelis and Jewish citizens''' of other countries do not face any additional restrictions. ===Tours=== [[Image:NorthKorea KijongDong.JPG|thumb|Kijong-dong village, in the DMZ near [[Panmunjeom|Panmunjom]]]] North Korea can only be visited by an organised tour, but this can be a large group or a party of one. Prices start from around {{USD|1,000}}/{{€|700}}/{{GBP|580}} for a 5-day group tour including accommodation, meals and transport from Beijing, but can go up considerably if you want to travel around the country or "independently" (as your own one-person escorted group). Tour operators/travel agencies that organise their own tours to North Korea include: {{infobox|United States citizens|After the death in June 2017 of an American tourist who had been detained in North Korea, many tour groups will no longer accept U.S. citizens on their tours.}} <!-- alphabetical order, absolutely no resellers or other links elsewhere --> * [http://chosonexchange.org/ Choson Exchange] - Singapore, UK & USA.

The average number of tourists per group each company takes will vary considerably so you may want to ask about this before booking a trip. Most people travelling to North Korea will travel through [[Beijing]] and you will probably pick up your visa from there, although some agents arrange their visas elsewhere beforehand though. The North Korean consulate building is separate from the main embassy building at Ritan Lu, and is round the corner at Fangcaodi Xijie. It's open M, W, F 09:30-11:30 & 14:00-17:30; and Tu, Th, Sa 09:30-11:30. Bring your travel permission, US$45 and two passport photos. Your guides will take your passport and keep it during your stay in North Korea, or at least for the first couple of days of your tour, for "security reasons", or simply because your entry and exit dates must be registered, as noted by the black stamps on the back of your visa or passport. Make sure your passport looks decent and doesn't differ from the most common passports from your country. '''Volunteer''' Groups such as Choson Exchange bring volunteers (or tourists) to participate in teaching workshops on business and entrepreneurship to businesswomen, young entrepreneurs and researchers, after which volunteers tour relevant sites in North Korea.

This is the jointly controlled truce village in the [[DMZ (Korea)|Korean Demilitarized Zone]] (DMZ) dividing the two Koreas. It has regular one-day bus tours from Seoul. Restrictions apply to specific nationalities. Group bus tours to [[Kaesong]] and [[Kumgangsan]] in North Korea from the South are no longer available. ===By plane=== All international flights go through Pyongyang's '''Sunan International Airport''' ({{IATA|FNJ}}). No other North Korean airport handles international flights. Only two commercial airlines fly to Sunan: Air Koryo, the national North Korean airline, and Air China. As of August 2013 neither Aeroflot nor China Southern Airlines fly to North Korea. ====Air Koryo==== [[File:Air Koryo TU-204 Pyongyang (10043349944).jpg|thumb|One of Air Koryo's Tupolev Tu-204 at Pyongyang's Airport]] North Korea's sole airline, '''[http://www.airkoryo.com.kp Air Koryo]''', has scheduled flights from Beijing, which depart at 11:30 every Tuesday and Saturday, and return from Pyongyang at 09:00 on the same days. Air Koryo also flies to and from [[Shenyang]] every Wednesday and Saturday, and to [[Vladivostok]] every Tuesday morning. They also fly to [[Macau]]. Air Koryo was the only 1-star (worst) airline on Skytrax's list, a distinction it held for many years. It had been banned in the EU due to concerns over safety. Although Air Koryo last experienced a fatal accident back in 1983, the airline only operates a handful of flights with its fleet of 10 aircraft. The main reason for flying Air Koryo is the experience: otherwise, it's probably better to fly Air China. The Air Koryo fleet consists entirely of Soviet or Russian-made aircraft, with the pride of their fleet being two Tupolev Tu-204s, which now usually handle the core Beijing–Pyongyang route as well as the Pyongyang-Shenyang route. Otherwise, you'll most likely end up on one of their Ilyushin IL-62-Ms (1979-1988 vintage), Tupolev Tu-154s or Tupolev Tu-134s. ====Air China==== '''[http://www.airchina.com/ Air China]''', a member of the Star Alliance, flies three times weekly from Beijing to Pyongyang using Boeing 737s. Air China is preferred by most to Air Koryo due to its far more modern fleet. ===By train=== Train K27/K28 connects Pyongyang to Beijing in China via [[Tianjin]], [[Tangshan]], Beidaihe, [[Shanhaiguan]], [[Jinzhou]], Shenyang, [[Benxi]], Fenghuangcheng, [[Dandong]] and [[Sinuiju]] four times a week. There is only one class on the international train between Beijing and Pyongyang: soft sleeper. It can be booked at the station in Beijing, but reservations must be made several days in advance. Your tour agency will usually do this for you, unless you are travelling on work purposes. It has been increasingly difficult to book space on the Beijing–Pyongyang route, so confirm your tickets well in advance. Once a week train K27/K28 also conveys direct sleeping cars from [[Moscow]] via China to [[Pyongyang]] and vice versa. The route is [[Moscow]] - [[Novosibirsk]] - [[Irkutsk]] - [[Chita]] - [[Harbin]] - [[Shenyang]] - [[Dandong]] - [[Shinuiju]] - [[Pyongyang]]. Departure from Moscow is every Friday evening, arrival at Pyongyang is one week later on Friday evening. Departure from Pyongyang is Saturday morning, arrival in Moscow is Friday afternoon. Some agents (eg Lupine Travel) prefer to cross the border from Dandong in China to Sinuiju by minibus and then board a domestic North Korean train to Pyongyang. Usually you will be seated in a hard seat carriage with KPA soldiers and party workers travelling with their families. There is access to a restaurant car which stocks imported beers (Heineken) and soft drinks as well as some local beers and spirits. This train supposedly takes only 4 hours to Pyongyang but has been known to take 14. If travelling in winter be prepared for temperatures inside the carriages as low as -10°C. There is also a direct rail link from Russia into North Korea. This route is the ''Rossiya'' Trans-Siberian train between Moscow and Vladivostock, with the Korea coaches detached at Ussuriysk. From there it's six hours to the border at Tumangan, with a five hour wait, then a 24-hour haul to Pyongyang. It runs weekly, but as a through-train only twice monthly (11th and 25th from Moscow), arriving Pyongyang 9 days later. This route used to be closed to westerners, but as of 2018 it's available, providing you've the correct visa and other paperwork. ===By boat=== There was an unscheduled cargo-passenger ship between Wonsan and [[Niigata]], Japan. Only available for use by some Japanese and North Korean nationals, the boat service has been suspended indefinitely due to North Korea's reported nuclear testing; Japan has banned all North Korean ships from entering Japanese ports, and has banned North Koreans from entering the country. Be careful about getting too close to the North Korean border in a boat; many South Korean fishermen are still waiting to leave North Korea. Besides the unscheduled ferry there is also a cruise ship that operates between the coast of Northeastern China, and Mt Kumgang. Jointly operated by China and North Korea, the cruise line uses a 40-year-old ship. The cruise trip is 22&nbsp;hr long at each leg, and is 44&nbsp;hr long in total but non-Chinese citizens are not permitted on the cruise to Mount Kumgang. ===By bus=== A bus is available from Dandong, China, across the Yalu River to [[Sinuiju]]. It's run by the "Dandong China Travel Company" but is only open to Chinese citizens. The bus drive from Dandong over the Sino-Korea Friendship Bridge (the same bridge over the Yalu river that the trains take). ==Get around== [[File:Hero Youth Highway in DPRK.jpg|thumb|A typical highway scene in North Korea. Tidy strands of trees with a large and empty road in between]] All your transport needs will be dealt with by your tour company. Most of the time this means buses, although tour groups visiting remote sites (e.g. [[Paekdusan]], Mount Chilbo) occasionally use chartered flights by Air Koryo. Wandering around on your own is not allowed, and you are required to have a guide to escort you at all times. A carefully stage-managed one-station ride on the Pyongyang metro is included on the itinerary of most trips to Pyongyang, but use of any other form of local public transport is generally impossible. Some tours also include a train ride from Pyongyang to the border city of Sinuiju, in which you can stop over in Sinuiju for a 1-day tour, though this option is not available to US citizens. If travelling in a small enough group it is also possible to organise a walk through some areas of Pyongyang with some travel agents (Koryo). ==Talk== [[Image:Sign Hangul.JPG|thumb|240px|Handwritten ''hangul'' in an advertisement]] {{seealso|Korean phrasebook}} The official language is '''[[Korean phrasebook|Korean]]'''. North Koreans are quite picky about referring to Korean as '''''chosŏn-mal''''' (조선말), not ''hangugeo''. The language is rather drastically different from any Western language in its grammar, and pronunciation is rather difficult for the English speaker to get right (though not tonal). It has various dialects; standard North Korean (문화어 ''munhwaŏ'') is ostensibly based on the Pyong'an dialect spoken in Pyongyang, but in reality is still deeply rooted in the [[Seoul]] dialect which was the standard before Korea was split. {{infobox|Differences between North and South Korean|Despite 60 years of separation, the Korean language in both North Korea and South Korea is fundamentally the same. The main differences are around the large amount of English nouns that South Korean has borrowed, whereas North Korean uses indigenous or Russian derived words instead. Descriptions of political and social structures are also completely different as a direct result of the different ideological directions of both countries; the most significant example is that words referring to the ruling Kim family are always '''bolded''' in North Korea.}} The Korean writing system is deceptively simple. Although it looks at first glance to be as complex as Chinese or Japanese, it is a unique and simple alphabetic writing system called '''''chosŏn'gŭl''''' by North Koreans, and hangul (한글 ''hangeul'') by the rest of the world, where letters are stacked up into blocks that represent syllables. It was designed by a committee and looks like simple lines, boxes and little circles, but it is remarkably consistent, logical and quick to pick up. A document from 1446 describing hangul said that '''"A wise man can acquaint himself with them before the morning is over; a stupid man can learn them in the space of ten days."''' Essentially all sources for learning Korean abroad will teach South Korean, which does have slightly different usage: some letters have different names, the sorting order is different, and there are some minor differences in pronunciation and spelling. Unlike South Korea, North Korea has abolished Chinese ''hanja'' characters and uses hangul characters exclusively. North Korea uses its own unique system for romanization of Korean, which is mostly similar to the older McCune–Reischauer system. In South Korea and the rest of the world, Revised Romanization is more common. Most guides will speak fairly decent '''English''' (some better than others) and will translate for you. Some guides can also speak Mandarin, German, Russian, Japanese and Spanish. There is no law preventing citizens of the DPRK from interacting with tourists, although locals are often discouraged from speaking with foreigners and language can prove to be an additional barrier. A visit to the DPRK around their holidays may give you more of a chance to interact with the locals. North Korea has its own sign language, which is not mutually intelligible with Korean Sign Language as used in South Korea; it's unclear if it's related to any other sign languages, or how widespread it is. ==See== [[File:Arirang Mass Games 2013 (10161718564).jpg|thumb|A revolutionary scene from the Arirang Mass Games]] All tours are accompanied by a government minder, who will decide what you can and cannot see. From the moment you leave your hotel, expect to be accompanied by one or more minders. Besides ensuring that tourists do not stray outside of the designated tourist areas, their jobs include inspecting any photographs which they think do not portray North Korea or its government in a good light, and ordering photographers to delete them. It is generally advisable to listen to what your minder is saying, and agree with it. Asking awkward socio-political questions will result in vague, evasive replies at best, and several hours of interrogation at worst. It is always recommended that if you are uncertain about taking pictures anywhere, ask your guide, though allowances seem to vary wildly. You may get a guide that is relatively relaxed and will allow you to take pictures from a bus or within a city. On the other hand, you may get one that will strictly adhere to controlling where you take pictures restricting anything taken from a tour bus or of certain areas, like Pyongyang's city streets, in general. There is simply no way to tell until you are actually on a tour. If you think a particular photograph might be embarrassing to the DPRK in general, ask or simply don't risk taking it at all. Photography of military personnel is also generally prohibited. Again, if in doubt, ask your guide. However, there are instances where it is impossible not to photograph certain sites without including a few military personnel within the picture such as at Mansudae (the monument site for the statues of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il) or at a local funfair. Reactions seem to vary between being ignored to curiosity, although you will be told where taking pictures is strictly prohibited (such as at certain areas of the DMZ), and the guards/soldiers there will react unfavourably to being photographed in general. Other areas where photographs are prohibited include the interior of the Friendship Exhibition, which displays gifts from around the world to Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, and within the Kumsusan Memorial Palace. If you leave the country via train (to [[Beijing]]) your camera will likely be checked for unfavorable photos by the guards. The majority of sightseeing consists of visits to various war memorials, monuments to the Great Leader and the Workers Party of Korea, and numerous museums (mostly war-related, like the statues and monuments). The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a popular destination for most tour groups in North Korea. Whilst you are in North Korea, the prevailing viewpoint places blame on the Americans for starting the Korean War; disagreeing with this position is likely to cause problems for both you and your guide, particularly as the two Koreas are still legally at war with only a cease-fire between them. Despite its misleading name, the DMZ is heavily guarded and dotted with minefields and other booby-traps. Under no circumstances should you stray from your group, or take any photographs of military installations. However, the "peace village" [[Panmunjom]] may be photographed, and boasts the world's third tallest flagpole. Whilst on these guided tours, especially to the state museums and monuments, you will undoubtedly endure an ongoing barrage of propaganda, consisting largely of anecdotes about things that Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il did for their country. Some of these claims may seem bizarre and even amusing to the outsider; however, a straight face is generally advisable. It is generally safest to at least appear to take everything they say seriously, even if it contradicts everything you were ever taught in history class or defies even the most basic human reasoning. ===Sights=== [[File:Landscape with Mountains in North Korea.JPG|thumb|Mountainous landscapes near Kaesong]] So, with all this practical information being said, what are the places to go? A good part of the important attractions you'll be shown are in '''[[Pyongyang]]'''. There's the large '''Kim Il-sung Square''', where the famously grand military parades take place. Even without the parades, though, it's an impressive square, and on it is the '''Grand People’s Study House'''. This gigantic library and learning centre is home to over 30 million books and a modern system of conveyor belts to get you the one you need. Also on the square are two museums, of which — the '''Korean National Art Gallery''' — is the more interesting one. The other great landmark of the nation's capital is its '''Triumphal Arch'''. Slightly bigger than its Parisian counterpart, it is in fact the largest arch of its kind in the world. Another landmark you'll be proudly shown are the large bronze '''statues of the Great Leader and Kim Jong-il'''. Respectfully join the locals in their serious undertakings to honour the statues, which are a key element of the devotion cult around the national leaders. For a better chance of some casual conversations with locals, try the pleasant Pyongyang '''zoo'''. Take a daytrip to the birthplace of the Great Leader in Mangyongdae and of course, visit the '''Kumsusan Palace of the Sun''' where both the previous Kim's embalmed bodies are on display. No trip to North Korea is complete without an extensive glance at the uneasy and heavily fortified border stand-off at '''[[Panmunjeom]]''', or the Joint Security Area. Not far from here is the town of '''[[Kaesong]]''', with a lovely old town and the [[UNESCO]]-listed '''tomb of King Kongmin'''. For stunning natural sights, try reaching '''[[Kumgangsan]]''', or the ''Diamond Mountains'', where you'll find beautiful vistas, waterfalls, lakes and ancient '''Buddhist temples'''. ==Do== [[File:Statues at the Tomb of King Wanggon (10104313105).jpg|thumb|Statues at the tomb of King Wanggon, the founder of the Goryeo Dynasty, in [[Kaesong]]]] As mentioned above, there is very little to do beyond the watchful eye of your designated minders, with most recreational activity taking place within the confines of the tourist resorts. Bowling and karaoke are among the latest additions to its surprising plethora of recreational activities. The karaoke videos are often accompanied by dramatic historical footage of the Korean War, or goose-stepping People's Army soldiers. North Korea has three amusement parks, two of which are abandoned due to mutual lack of interest and electricity. The Kaeson Youth Fair has now closed, taking the infamous "Roller Coaster of Death" along with it. Still visible are the shooting-galleries with backdrops of snarling American and Japanese soldiers; however, it is unlikely that your guide will let you venture into any abandoned areas. The one remaining amusement park contains some rides which are actually quite modern and non-lethal, at least by North Korean standards, and is about as worthy of a visit as everything else you'll see whilst in North Korea. The nightlife in [[Pyongyang]] is remarkably safe and non-violent, compared to the capitals of other nations (except maybe [[Reykjavík]] in [[Iceland]]); in general, the civilians are not a threat. The plain-clothes secret police, however, may or may not be a threat, depending on what you say or do. Popular music in North Korea consists largely of 1980s hits from anglophone countries and traditional Korean folk songs You will not find newspapers or magazines from outside North Korea (since media from outside the country is generally banned for ordinary North Koreans). Foreign broadcasts are jammed and the only radio and television allowed is government propaganda, although several international news outlets (including BBC World News and NHK World) are available in tourist hotels. Fortunately, alcohol is cheap and plentiful, although it is not advisable to become intoxicated and make a scene of oneself. Furthermore, both the trafficking and consumption of narcotics are punished ''very'' severely by authorities; traffickers can expect to face the death penalty if caught. Finally, power cuts may hit without warning in the middle of any activity. Whilst you might welcome this if the jukebox is starting to get to you, this is not a desirable outcome if you are in the middle of an amusement-park ride, particularly as these blackouts can last for hours at a time. The '''Masikryong ski resort,''' North Korea's only ski resort, opened in winter 2013. Located near the western city of Wonsan, a visit to the resort may be included as part of a wider DPRK tour. ==Buy== ===Money=== {{infobox|Currency in North Korea|Most short-term tourists in North Korea will not encounter the local currency at all, as the restaurants and souvenir shops geared towards tourists will deal exclusively in hard currency — U.S. dollars, euros, or Chinese yuan. Prices in these stores are listed roughly in U.S. cents. Vendors will rarely have change available, and having small bills to make change yourself will be very helpful in not being over-charged for purchases. Longer term visitors to Pyongyang should consider getting a debit card (labeled 전자결제카드, ''jeonjagyeoljekadeu'') to make getting change easier. These can usually be bought at the Pyongyang store in the diplomatic compound for US$5, and can be used and recharged at most foreigner-targeted stores around the city. Markets, road-side stands, and stores targeting locals will deal in North Korean won. There are several booths around the city which are able to convert foreign currency into won. The largest note is ₩5000, roughly the cost of a Coke. The smallest is ₩5, which is used for the metro. Notes under ₩500 are generally not used. If you want smaller notes, ask to convert 1 or 5 Chinese yuan at a currency exchange booth. You may get a strange look, but likely will be given some of the harder to find ₩5 and ₩10 notes.}} The currency is the North Korean '''won''', denoted by the symbol '''₩''' (ISO code: '''KPW''') and not typically available to foreigners, except some old North Korean won sold for souvenir. Black market exchange rates (especially in far northern Korea, near the Chinese border) may easily be 20 times the official rate, but importing or exporting Korean won is strictly forbidden. North Korean won is practically worthless outside the country but can make unique souvenirs. Foreigners are expected to use euros or as an alternative Chinese renminbi, US dollars or Japanese yen. Currency handling is often bizarre, with a frequent lack of change and a number of rule-of-thumb conversions leading to highly unorthodox transactions, so be sure to bring lots of small change. On a typical tour most expenses such as hotel, transportation, and meals will have been paid in advance, and therefore your only expenses may be bottled water, souvenirs, snacks, drinks at the bars, laundry at the hotel and tips for your guides. In any case, the only shops you will be likely allowed to visit are the state-run souvenir shops at your hotel and at the various tourist attractions. It is generally not possible to visit a real local shop which serves the local population, though you might get lucky asking your guide if he/she trusts you enough. Some tours include a visit to a department store. ===Souvenirs=== [[File:Pyongyang store3.JPG|thumb|A special store for foreigners in Pyongyang, with most merchandise imported from China]] {{cautionbox|Planning to enter [[South Korea]] after your visit to North Korea? The South has very strict laws, including the National Security Act, on the import and possession of North Korean propaganda. Do not attempt to bring anything into South Korea that could be construed as North Korean propaganda, including images of North Korean leaders such as stamps or postcards. North Korean biographies and books are also illegal.}} There are numerous hard-currency only souvenir shops at tourist sites. Interesting souvenirs include propaganda books and videos, postcards and postage stamps. At some tourist sites (such as King Kongmin's tomb), you can purchase freshly finished paintings with your name and the artist's name at the bottom. You can buy [[postal service|postcards]] and send them to people in any country except South Korea which apparently will not deliver them. Some excellent paintings on silk or linen have been available in Kaesong directly from the artist. Haggling for better prices is not permitted but the prices are very low. ===Costs=== Most costs are included as part of your tour. Most sights have a shop associated with them where you can buy bottled water, souvenirs and snacks. These are reasonably priced. In September 2017, large bottles of local beer cost US$2 at the hotel bars in Pyongyang. €200 for one week should be enough to cover your costs of water, drinks at the bars, souvenirs and tips for the guides. ==Eat== [[File:Hibachi restaurant at Haedanghwa Health Complex - North Korea (10392326233).jpg|thumb|The ''Hibachi'' restaurant in the Haedanghwa Health Complex in Pyongyang]] {{see also|Korean cuisine}} As with most other aspects of visiting North Korea, catering is usually organized in advance as part of your tour. Vegetarians and people with food allergies or dislikes of common foods such as seafood or eggs will need to make arrangements in advance. A visit to a "real" local restaurant may be possible; enquire with your guide. Shortages of supplies, combined with the typical use of Korean cooking styles, mean that there is a relatively limited variety of food — and this can get wearying on tours of more than a few days. There are a few Western food options now in Pyongyang and these restaurants can usually be visited if arranged with the guides in advance. They will usually require additional payment though, unless you have discussed this already with your tour operator, as the costs are not included in the ''per diem'' fee charged by the Korean Travel Company. There are two Italian restaurants (one on Kwangbok Street which is near the Korean circus where the pizza is great, and they have imported a pizza oven and all the ingredients so the quality is very high; and one near the USS ''Pueblo'') and two burger restaurants (the more accessible is in the Youth Hotel). Both are inexpensive and do inject some flavor onto a generally lackluster eating scene, especially on long tours. Visit the Vienna coffee house, which is on the river side of Kim Jong Il square, for a good coffee similar to those common in Europe. ==Drink== The local speciality is '''''insam-ju''''', Korean vodka infused with ginseng roots. Locally made Taedonggang beer is very good. The brewery was purchased from Ushers in the UK and physically moved to Pyongyang, and some of the ''soju'' are not bad either. Local alcohol is inexpensive; a 650&nbsp;ml bottle of beer is €0.50. Imported beers, such as Heineken, are also available at similar prices. However do not get drunk and cause trouble. Toe the line and show respect, or you and your guide will face serious penalties. It is advisable to stick to bottled water for drinking as the tap water is not always properly treated. [[Image:Ryugyong Hotel - August 27, 2011 (Cropped).jpg|thumb|The still unfinished Ryugyong Hotel in [[Pyongyang|P'y&#335;ngyang]]]] ==Sleep== This is likely to be your principal expense while in North Korea. You may only stay at "designated tourist hotels", for which you will need to pay in hard currency. There may be discounts if you ask for lower class accommodation, if you are travelling as part of a group, or if it is low season (November – March). Costs for your tour, which will include accommodation, all sightseeing activities and meals, will range from US$70 to US$200 a day, depending on these factors. Usually you pay for all your meals, hotel and Beijing–Pyongyang journey to your tour operator before you leave. One week in high season at a four-star hotel will then cost something between €1,300 and €1,600, depending on your tour operator, but might get as low as €800 for one week. ==Learn== [[File:North Korea-Pyongyang-Kim Il-sung University-01.jpg|thumbnail|Kim Il Sung University]] It can be difficult for foreigners to become students in North Korea, although university exchange programmes may be possible. The [http://www.pyongyangproject.org/ Pyongyang Project] arranges tours of North Korea with an academic focus, with the aim of participants learning about the country rather than just sightseeing. [http://www.ybu.edu.cn/ Yanbian University], in the [[Yanbian]] Korean Autonomous Prefecture in north eastern [[China]] is closely affiliated with other universities in North Korea and can offer relevant courses for learning about North Korea. ==Work== If you are interested in teaching in North Korea, you may find success by contacting the North Korean UN Mission in New York, or contacting a North Korean university directly. Your odds of success are, however, quite low: there is only a small team of 4 English Language Instructors dealing with teaching and teacher training, with a Project Manager leading the team of three, placed in Kim Il Sung University, Pyongyang University of Foreign Studies and Kim Hyung Jik University of Education. There is an opportunity to teach in [http://www.the-psi.org/ the Pyongyang Summer Institute] during summer time when it is opened to foreigners. It's voluntary, unpaid work, though. ==Stay safe== {{warningbox|'''Do not''' criticise or show any kind of disrespect to the '''Kim dynasty''', the '''North Korean government''', '''North Korean citizens''', the '''Juche ideology''', the '''Songun (military first) policy''', or the '''country in general'''. Simply avoid these topics if you can, even if you're in a room with no North Koreans present (the government has been known to plant recording devices). Anyone you speak to is likely to be affiliated with the North Korean government, and you should always respond accordingly should sensitive topics arise. You and your guide could potentially face serious trouble if you answer incorrectly, although your guide will probably bear the worst of it. North Korea is known for extremely harsh punishments which range from lengthy prison sentences to a lifetime of severe mistreatment and torture.|lastedit=}} Crime levels are practically zero, at least to tourists on a strictly controlled tour. However, pickpockets are the least of your worries. North Korea is an '''authoritarian dictatorship''' and is generally considered to have the '''worst human rights record in the world'''. The authorities are very touchy, and you need to watch what you say and how you say it. Just do what the guides do, praise every stop on your tour, and remember the rule, "If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all." The official policy is that '''you are not to wander around on your own'''. You are expected to get permission and/or have a guide accompany you if you are leaving your hotel on your own. This will vary depending on what hotel you are in. The Yanggakdo Hotel is on an island in the middle of the Taedong River in Pyongyang. Therefore you can walk around the area a little more freely than if you are at the Koryo Hotel right in the centre of town. You should always be friendly and courteous to your guides and driver who will normally reciprocate by trusting you more and giving you more freedom. When taking '''photographs''', exercise restraint, caution and common sense. If you appear to be looking for negative images of North Korea, the guides will not be happy and will tell you to delete any questionable images. In particular, you are not to take photos of anything military, including personnel, or anything showing the DPRK in a bad light. Your photographic freedom can largely depend on the type of guides that you are assigned and the rapport that you have with them. In a best case scenario, you can often take pictures without feeling as if you're trying to sneak them by anyone and without pressure capturing some truly unique images. If you are in an area that prohibits picture taking, you will also be informed of this and it is best to simply follow your guide's direction. When in doubt, always ask. Your guide might even want to try out your camera and take a picture of you for your collection. In a worst-case scenario, you can be expected to raise your camera at a reasonable speed, compose and take the picture, and lower the camera at a reasonable speed. Don't try to take pictures of anything that you have been told not to, such as military personnel or certain locales. This may call attention to yourself and the image you are trying to take and can result, whether justified or not, in your being told to delete the image. Digital cameras are commonly inspected when leaving the country by train. A simple workaround is to leave a memory card with innocuous snaps in the camera and file away any cards with ideologically dubious content. '''Visitors of Korean descent should never reveal this fact.''' North Koreans have a very strong sense of ethnic belonging and this will inevitably draw unwanted attention to you. Furthermore, if you run into trouble then holding a foreign passport will not count for much if you are considered a Korean by the authorities. Visitors have also been targeted for '''political''' reasons; in 2013, an 85-year-old American citizen was arrested, briefly incarcerated and expelled by the DPRK because of his military service during the Korean War. '''Drug trafficking''' and the consumption of '''narcotics''' can be '''punishable by death''' in North Korea. '''Marijuana''', however, is legal and often found growing freely alongside the road in North Korea. ===Emergency numbers=== * From a fixed-line phone: '''119''' * From a mobile phone: '''112''' For medical emergencies in Pyongyang, dial 02 382-7688 locally. ==Stay healthy== '''[[Drinking water]]''' in North Korea is apparently untreated and there are reports of foreigners being hospitalized in the DPRK after drinking the water; therefore, sticking to bottled water is highly recommended. Medical facilities are clean although very outdated. If you fall ill then you might be better off going to China for medical treatment. Contact your embassy or consulate in North Korea (if your country has one) for assistance. ==Respect== [[File:Mansudae Grand Monument (10104320806).jpg|thumb|The first two generations of the Kim dynasty together]] Despite the sharp political differences, North and South Koreans share a common culture; the various respect tips in the [[South_Korea#Respect|South Korea]] article apply here. === Tour conduct === The best way to stay out of trouble is to obey and respect your guide(s). If a guide asks you to obey the tour rules, '''do it'''. Any time you engage in unbecoming conduct, your guide will be blamed for being unable to control you, and they will be penalised for your misbehaviour. Always think before you act, and think before you speak; your actions can and will be reflected upon others, no matter how big or small, and tourists could face restrictions on what they can do in the country because of your behaviour. Whenever you feel tempted to do something, ask yourself, "How will my actions negatively impact myself and other people?" Make that a rule during your stay and keep that in mind at all times. As aforementioned, if you're not prepared to accept severe limitations on your behaviour and movement, you should not travel to North Korea. North Korea isn't for everyone, even for the most seasoned of travellers. Consider giving small gifts like cigarettes, skin cream, and so on to your guides. This will garner respect from the guides, and depending on how well you conduct yourself, they may even take you places and events in North Korea that they wouldn't normally go to. Although there are many great photo opportunities in North Korea, '''the DPRK has very strict photography laws'''. This largely depends on what guide you've been assigned. If you're in doubt, just ask. There's no harm in asking the guide(s) at all. Never, ever, take photographs of anything of strategic importance (i.e. places with soldiers/policemen, etc.) and/or things you've been told not to photograph. Also, '''don't take photographs of things that can negatively portray North Korea'''. The North Korean authorities take this rule very seriously. === Sensitive issues === It is important to emphasize that the government of the DPRK — in particular the leaders Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il and Kim Jong-un — are, at least publicly, very highly revered in North Korean culture. While slavish devotion is not expected from tourists, '''criticism of the Kim dynasty, the Workers Party of Korea, and/or Juche is unwise'''; it can get you into serious trouble. Similarly, '''don't even think about''' asking a North Korean about what they think about their country's political situation. It is advisable to refer to North Korea as the DPRK instead when discussing it with your guides. DPRK stands for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and is the official name for the country reflecting their belief that the south (not capitalized) is occupied territory. You will also notice this referenced in their literature in the same way (i.e. as "south Korea"). When speaking Korean, South Korea should be referred as "South Chosun" (남조선/南朝鮮) instead of "Hanguk" (한국/韓國). Most, if not all, tour groups to the DPRK are asked to solemnly bow and lay flowers on one or two occasions in front of statues of Kim Il Sung when visiting monuments of national importance. '''If you're not prepared to do this, do not even try to enter North Korea.''' Just be sure you always act in a respectful manner around images of the two leaders. This includes taking respectful photos of any image of them. When photographing statues, especially Mansudae, be sure to get the entire statue in the photo. Formal dress is also expected at important monuments such as Mansudae or in visiting the Kumsusang Memorial Palace. ===Religion=== North Korea is officially atheist. The regime promotes a national philosophy of self-reliance called ''Juche'' (주체) which some would categorize as a political religion that pervades all aspects of life in the country. As a tourist, you will not be expected to observe this, although you must always be respectful towards symbols of ''Juche'' which are often the images of past and present leaders Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il and Kim Jong-un. Other religions such as Christianity and Buddhism are vigorously suppressed in practice with severe punishment being given to followers. You should refrain from any religious discussions during your time in North Korea, and be aware that any form of religious proselytizing is dealt with very seriously by the regime, with foreign missionaries having previously been sentenced to life imprisonment in labor camps. With this in mind, be careful of performing even personal religious rituals or bringing religious items into the country and preferably do not do so at all. ==Connect== ===By phone=== For international calls to North Korea, the country code is '''+850'''. Some phone numbers (mostly faxes) can be called directly from abroad; most other calls will need to go through the international operator service on +850-2-18111. International calling is generally possible via landlines in hotels, though it is expensive (€2 per minute as of Feb 2012) and all calls are likely recorded and monitored. Local calls need elusive 10&nbsp;chon coins when calling from call boxes, but can also be made from hotels and post offices. Additionally, your phone calls may be heavily monitored, so you should be careful of what you talk about in phone calls that you make in North Korea. ====Mobile phones==== As of January 2013, you are allowed to carry a [[Mobile phones|mobile phone]] from outside the country into North Korea. You will not be able to use your current SIM card in North Korea, however. The only network you are allowed to connect to is the local network, Koryolink, via one of their SIM cards. Your phone must be a 3G WCDMA phone which can connect to the 2100MHz 3G frequency band. A 3G mobile phone network (Koryolink) was introduced in Pyongyang in 2008 and now covers the 42 largest cities. It is widely used by locals who can afford it and by long-staying foreigners who file an application. SIM cards and phones can be purchased at the International Communication Center, No.2 Pothonggang-dong in Pothonggang District, opposite the Pyongyang Indoor Stadium, as well as at Pyongyang airport and some hotels. As of 25 Feb 2013, 3G mobile internet via Koryolink is available to foreigners, although pricing is unknown. Bear in mind that these SIM cards will only let you call internationally and to a very small number of internationally-enabled phones in North Korea. There are three plans you can choose from for your SIM card: #Purchase a prepaid SIM card for €50. This gives you the SIM card to keep indefinitely for return visits, and includes a small amount (less than €30) of calling credit. #Rent a prepaid SIM card for two weeks for €50. This includes €30 of calling credit. #Rent a prepaid SIM card for one month for €75. This includes €55 of calling credit. Calling rates are as follows: *China and South-East Asia: €1.43 per minute. *Russia: €0.68 per minute. *France and Switzerland: €0.38 per minute. *U.K. and Germany: €1.58 per minute. ===By Internet=== Internet facilities are limited to a very few North Koreans with appropriate privileges to use it. For foreigners, most of the larger hotels have Internet access available, but this needs to be applied for some days in advance. Advise your tour operator or inviting party of your requirements well ahead of time so that access permission can be arranged. There are no public internet cafés or business centres with web access in the hotels. Mobile internet is available via Koryolink's 3G network (see above) using a local SIM card, but details about this are scarce. Also, even if you have Internet access, your traffic will probably be monitored. There is very little Internet connectivity in North Korea; the little that exists is routed through mainland China and risks heavy censorship by that country's Golden Shield Project, the "[[China#Internet censorship|Great Firewall of China]]". ==Cope== There is a growing diplomatic presence of [[Pyongyang#Embassies|foreign embassies in Pyongyang]]. Find out beforehand which country can assist you in case of an emergency, such as a medical condition or a police incident. Sweden serves as the protecting power for American, Australian, and Canadian travellers in North Korea, so these visitors may be able to obtain limited consular services from the Swedish embassy in Pyongyang. American nationals are not allowed by the U.S. Department of State to visit North Korea, although if you must then it is still recommended to notify (by email) the Swedish embassy of your visit to North Korea, as well as to inform the U.S. embassy in Beijing, China, particularly if your trip to North Korea entails passing through China. The British embassy offers consular services to Commonwealth citizens who do not have representation through other countries, except for Singaporeans and Tanzanians, whose governments have opted out of this arrangement. {{isPartOf|East Asia}} {{usablecountry}} {{geo|40.4|127|zoom=7}} 2nt3kbpqt45qzdxoy0p66ctas0u4u67 4496042 4496041 2022-08-06T11:05:09Z The History Wizard of Cambridge 2274323 false information wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|NK_Banner.jpg}} {{warningbox|The United States forbids travel to North Korea on U.S. passports without special permission, and such travel is a crime punishable under U.S. law.

It's located in [[East Asia]] on the [[Korean Peninsula]], which has been divided between North and [[South Korea]] since the 1950s. Travel provides the opportunity to see the last frontier of the [[Cold War]], where a society still runs under a strict Stalinist governance with an emphasis on the military, and economic development lags visibly behind the other nations in the region. Tourists may only travel to North Korea as part of a guided tour and independent travel is not permitted. Visitors are constantly monitored in order to ensure their interactions with local people are managed, so as to prevent activities such as taking "unsuitable" photos, criticism of North Korea, disrespect towards the Great Leader, or talking to locals without permission. About 1,500 Western tourists visit North Korea every year. Most complete the journey without incident, as long as they follow their ever-present guides. Incidents have occurred, and when they do then due process is hard to come by. The most likely consequence of any [[authority trouble|trouble with the authorities]] is a period of detention before deportation. You should not travel to North Korea if you are not prepared to accept severe limitations on your movement and behavior, or the risk of arbitrary, indefinite detention. ==Regions== {{Regionlist | regionmap=North_Korea_Regions_Map.png | regionmapsize=430px | region1name=[[Donghae Coast]] | region1color=#86B9DB | region1items=[[Chongjin]], [[Hamhung]], [[Rason]], North Hamgyong, South Hamgyong, Kangwon, K&#365;mgang-san | region1description= | region2name=[[Baekdu Mountains]] | region2color=#B383B3 | region2items=Ryanggang, Chagang | region2description= | region3name=[[Pyongan]] | region3color=#6DA0A6 | region3items=North P'yongan, South P'yongan, [[Kaechon]], [[Nampho]], [[Pyongyang]], [[Shinuiju]] | region3description= | region4name=[[Hwanghae]] | region4color=#D5A664 | region4items=North Hwanghae, South Hwanghae, [[Kaesong]] | region4description= }} ==Cities== <!--Cities and Other destinations lists are limited to 9 items.

Comb-pattern pottery culture peaked around 3500-2000&nbsp;BC. Legend has it that Korea began with the founding of Gojoseon (also called ''Ancient Chosun'') by the legendary Dangun in 2333&nbsp;BC. Archeological and contemporaneous written records of Gojoseon as a kingdom date back to around 7th-4th century BC. Gojoseon was eventually defeated by the Chinese Han Dynasty in 108 BC and its territories were governed by four Chinese commanderies, but this did not last long. Natives of the peninsula and Manchuria soon reclaimed the territory, namely the Three Kingdoms of Korea, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje. The '''Goguryeo Kingdom''' (or Koguryo) ruled the entire area of modern North Korea, as well as parts of Manchuria and the northern parts of modern South Korea. Buddhist and Confucian teachings were prominent in the Goguryeo Kingdom, which adopted Buddhism as the state religion in 372. Despite repeated attempts by China, namely the Sui Dynasty and later the Tang Dynasty, to conquer the Korean Peninsula, northern-based Goguryeo managed to repel them. Eventually, Goguryeo fell to a Silla-Tang alliance, which had earlier defeated Baekje. This unified Korea under the Silla dynasty. Even though Tang later invaded, Silla forces managed to drive them out, thus maintaining Korea's independence. Unified Silla was replaced by the Goryeo (also called ''Koryo'') dynasty, from which the modern name "Korea" derives. One highlight of the Goryeo dynasty was that in 1234 the world's first metal movable type was invented by a Korean named Choe Yun-ui (200 years before Gutenberg's printing press). Buddhist learning spread during this time and the former Baekje and Goguryeo leaders were treated well. The kingdom saw relative peace until the 8th and 9th centuries when clan leaders led uprisings and toppled the Silla, establishing the Goryeo Dynasty from which the name "Korea" was derived by Westerners. During this period, the nation suffered Mongol invasions, which led to unrest and the eventual establishment of the Joseon Dynasty in 1392. {{quickbar|location=LocationNorthKorea.png}} ====Joseon Dynasty==== The Joseon Dynasty was one of the longest-running dynasties in the world (512 years), ruling from 1392 until 1910. '''King Sejong the Great''''s rule was especially celebrated, as he helped create the Korean script, ''choson'gul'', which allowed even the commoners to become literate. He also expanded the nation's military power to drive out Japanese pirates and northern nomads and regain territories that had been lost. The Japanese invaded Korea under the leadership of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, though the Joseon Dynasty managed to drive them out with the support of China's Ming Dynasty, albeit with heavy losses in the Korean peninsula. In spite of its losses, the nation experienced about 200 years of peace, and its isolationist policies allowed it to further develop a uniquely Korean culture and identity. Rapid modernisation stirred by the Second Industrial Revolution created tension between China and Japan as they felt the pressures of Western expansionism, each wanting to extend their influence over Korea. Ensuing wars between Japan, China and Russia led to increasing Japanese influence over the peninsula, resulting in Korea's status as a vassal state of Imperial China ending in 1895, and Japan annexing Korea outright in 1910, marking the end of the Joseon dynasty and Korean independence. ====Japanese occupation and a divided Korea==== {{seealso|Korean War}} Japan ruled the Korea as a colony until its defeat in [[Pacific War|World War II]] in 1945. During that period, the Japanese committed numerous atrocities including massacres, and forced many Korean women to become "comfort women"; sex slaves in Japanese military brothels. Moreover, Japan instituted a cultural assimilation policy, forcing the Koreans to adopt Japanese names, and forbidding them from speaking the Korean language. Japan was forced to give up control of all its colonies after is defeat in World War II in 1945, and the Allied Powers divided Korea along the 38th Parallel, with the Soviet Union occupying the northern half and the United States occupying the southern half. The divide was supposed to be temporary; however, the political power struggle between the two nations to gain influence over the unified Korea led each to establish governments within their newly created territories. North Korea was established as its own nation in 1948 with the support of the Soviet Union, following the Soviet Communist model, with Kim Il-Sung as its leader, while at about the same time, Syngman Rhee established a capitalist regime with the support of the United States in the south. Agitation between the North and South came to a head in 1950 when the North started the '''Korean War''' by attempting to reunify the country under its terms by launching an invasion. The Soviet Union and China fought alongside the North against the South, who were in turn backed by the United Nations (UN) forces led by the [[United States]]. The UN forces drove the North Korean forces all the way up to the Chinese border, whereupon Chinese reinforcements forced the UN forces to be driven back south. The war finally resulted in the signing of an armistice in 1953, largely maintaining the original borders set prior to the war. Because no peace treaty has been signed since the armistice, the nations of [[South Korea]] and North Korea are officially still at war. ====Modern North Korea==== [[File:Party Foundation Monument (10875731074).jpg|thumb|The symbols of the Korean Workers' Party: the hammer for the worker, the sickle for the peasant, and the brush for the intellectual]] [[File:Laika ac Pyongyang (7968448156).jpg|thumbnail|Communist propaganda in Pyongyang]] With the nation in shambles after the war, Kim Il-Sung launched a campaign to unite the people by defaming the [[United States]] with Soviet support and purging the nation of dissidents and anyone thought to oppose him. He sided with China during the Sino-Soviet Split on Communist philosophy because he disliked Krushchev's reforms but began to praise the Soviet Union once again when China underwent its Cultural Revolution, straining relations with both neighbors. Consequently, he developed his own ideology, '''''Juche''''' ("self-reliance"), to create the sort of Communism he wanted for his nation. Throughout his life, Kim Il-Sung added to and clarified the Juche ideology in order to justify his governing decisions. The Korean War not only divided the people, but it also divided the labor force. When the peninsula was united, North Korea had most of the nation's industries while South Korea was the agricultural center. This divide allowed North Korea to initially bounce back faster than the South in the rebuilding process. The Soviet Union then funded agricultural efforts in the North, in accordance with the Communist model. This system began to unravel in the late 1970s and 1980s as the Soviet system began to falter. With the end of Soviet aid following its dissolution in 1991, there was no way to continue to support the agricultural systems' needs for fuel, fertilizer and equipment. After so many years of government mismanagement, and the bad timing of severe flooding, the North's agricultural system collapsed in the mid-1990s, leading to widespread famine and death for countless North Koreans. The death of Kim Il-Sung in 1994 took place while the nation tried to deal with the crisis, slowing government response as the new leader, Kim Jong-Il, took his father's position. The North finally allowed international relief agencies to assist, and the worst aspects of the famine were contained. However, the DPRK continues to rely heavily on international food aid to feed its population while at the same time continuing to expend resources on its ''songun'', or "military first", policy, which Kim Jong-Il introduced and used in conjunction with his father's ''Juche'' ideology (which he "interpreted"). Today the DPRK maintains an army of about 1 million infantrymen, most stationed close to the DMZ which divides the two Koreas. North Korea's long-range missile development and research into nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and massive conventional armed forces are of major concern to the international community. In December 2002, Kim Jong-Il reneged on a 1994 "Agreed Framework" signed by his father which required the shut down of its nuclear reactors, expelling UN monitors and further raising fears that the nation would produce nuclear weapons. Missile testing was conducted in 1998, 2006 and April 2009. In October 2006 North Korea announced that it had conducted its first nuclear test. These actions have led to UN and other international sanctions. Current negotiations, most notably the "Six-Party Talks" involving China, Russia, Japan, North Korea, South Korea and the United States, are aimed at bringing about an end to the DPRK nuclear weapons program, in hopes that a peace treaty to officially end the Korean War may finally be agreed upon, paving the way for the opening of diplomatic ties between North Korea and the United States. Unfortunately, in March 2010, a South Korean ship was sunk near the 38th parallel, increasing tensions between North and South Korea. Although North Korea claims not to have attacked the ship, the blame has largely been placed on North Korea. The death of Kim Jong-Il in late 2011 created a measure of uncertainty during the transfer of power to his son Kim Jong-Un; though the country has appeared to have stabilized since, considerable tensions have occurred intermittently. ===Government and politics=== North Korea is a totalitarian dictatorship. The government is led by the State Affairs Commission (SAC), which sets national policy and is directly responsible for the military. The supreme leader (Kim Jong-un) is chairman of the SAC, as well as head of the Workers' Party of Korea and several other positions. Atop the administrative branch of the government is the cabinet, which is headed by the premier (like a prime minister). The cabinet is appointed by the unicameral Supreme People's Assembly (SPA) which heads the legislative branch, although bills are drafted by the Party and the almost 700-person SPA almost always passes them without debate or modification. Moreover, it's in recess all but a few days a year, leaving most authority in the hands of the 15-person Presidium. The judiciary is headed by the Supreme Court, whose three justices are elected, partisan, and accountable to the SPA. The judiciary is not independent and does not have the power to overrule the legislative or executive branches of government, and interference from security forces is a widespread problem. ===People=== North Korea may be the most ethnically homogeneous nation on earth, with everyone being Korean save for a few hundred foreigners. These foreigners are mostly diplomatic or aid agency workers, along with a small population of Japanese who have Korean ancestry. Almost no South Koreans live in North Korea. North Korean society is strongly divided and organised along a caste system known as ''Songun''. Membership of one of three main groups is determined not only by an individual's political, social and economic background, but also that of their family for the previous three generations. Education and professional opportunities are effectively defined by an individual's class. ===Climate=== [[File:Pyongyang.jpg|thumb|Pyongyang seen in the morning]] The climate is generally classed as continental, with rainfall concentrated in summer. Summer months are warm, but winter temperatures can fall as low as -30°C. Late spring droughts are often followed by severe flooding. There are occasional typhoons during the early autumn. ===Terrain=== Mostly hills and mountains separated by deep, narrow valleys; coastal plains are wide in the west and discontinuous in the east. The mountainous interior is both isolated and sparsely populated. ===Read=== ''The Accusation'', by Bandi. A collection of short stories, published abroad by a pseudonymous North Korean writer, that are highly critical of the Kim regime and full of piercing insight into its contradictions and cruelties. Uniquely among North Korean dissident literature, they were published with their author still living in the country. ''Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea'', Barbara Demick. An excellent book recounting the lives of six North Koreans who managed to defect and find their way to South Korea. Provides a compelling picture of the miseries and occasional beauty in the lives of ordinary North Koreans during the famine of the 1990s. {{ISBN|0385523912}} ''Eyes of the Tailless Animals: Prison Memoirs of a North Korean Woman'', by Soon Ok Lee. First-hand accounts of the prison system within North Korea ''Escape from Camp 14: One Man's Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West'', by Blaine Harden. The riveting story of Shin Dong-hyuk, one of the only known surviving escapees of a North Korean prison camp, and his perilous journey out of the country. ''Without You There Is No Us'', by Suki Kim. A fascinating piece of investigative journalism about teaching English as a foreigner in Pyongyang. ==Get in== {{VisaRestriction|The US State Department issued a travel ban prohibiting travel to North Korea on a United States passport. Very limited exceptions may be granted, mostly for journalists and aid workers; [https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/requirements/passport-for-travel-to-north-korea.html details here]. People who have visited North Korea are not allowed to enter the U.S. under the visa-waiver program, and must apply for a U.S. visa instead. <small>[https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/north-korea-travel-advisory.html Travel Warning]</small>}} {{COVID-19 box|North Korea has '''shut down''' its border to foreign tourists.|lastedit=2021-11-27}} Visiting North Korea can be challenging and you will not have the freedom to explore the country without a North Korean escort, either as part of a group or individual tour. Entry conditions change frequently and without notice depending on the geopolitical situation. For example, North Korea was virtually closed to tourism between October 2014 and March 2015 due to an Ebola scare, despite there being no cases of the disease in or anywhere near the country. ===Visas=== [[File:Visa policy of North Korea (DPR Korea).png|thumbnail|Visa policy of North Korea]] [[File:DPRK tourist card.jpg|thumbnail|Tourist card]] In accordance with North Korean law, '''everyone needs a visa''' to visit North Korea. Tourists typically arrange a tourist visa through booking a tour with a travel agency that organises such tours. The travel agencies will usually deal with the visa on their behalf, although in some cases tourists are required to have a short telephone interview with the North Korean embassy in order to verify their identity and their job. In most cases the interview is conducted in a friendly manner so it is nothing to be worried about. Visas are often only confirmed on the day before the tour, but rarely will a tourist ever be rejected unless you show that you are of political status or a journalist. North Korean tourists visas are often issued on a tourist card. If joining a tour group, group visas are often issued on separate sheets of papers containing all the members of the group, attached with a tourist card that bear the name of the tour leader. This visa itself is never held by the tourists, although tourists can ask to take a photo of their visa. In any case no stamp will be placed in the passport. The only way where a visa and entrance stamp will be stamped on the passport is when the visa is issued within a North Korean embassy in Europe. ====Additional restrictions==== '''Journalists''' or those suspected of being journalists require special permission, which is quite difficult to obtain. The North Koreans do not allow journalists to visit the country on tourist visas. Citizens of '''Malaysia''' were being prevented from leaving North Korea after the March 2017 assassination of Kim Jong-Nam, where Malaysia wanted several North Korean diplomats and nationals for questioning. While restrictions for Malaysians leaving North Korea have now been lifted, the era of visa-free travel between these once relatively 'friendly' countries is over. Citizens of '''South Korea''' are not permitted to enter North Korea unless they have permission from the governments of both the North, for entry, and the South from the Ministry of Unification (통일부). South Korean citizens may face a lengthy prison sentence under the National Security Act (국가보안법) on their return if they do not obtain permission beforehand. South Korean citizens travelling to North Korea on a passport from a different country still risk prosecution. Contrary to rumour, '''Israelis and Jewish citizens''' of other countries do not face any additional restrictions. ===Tours=== [[Image:NorthKorea KijongDong.JPG|thumb|Kijong-dong village, in the DMZ near [[Panmunjeom|Panmunjom]]]] North Korea can only be visited by an organised tour, but this can be a large group or a party of one. Prices start from around {{USD|1,000}}/{{€|700}}/{{GBP|580}} for a 5-day group tour including accommodation, meals and transport from Beijing, but can go up considerably if you want to travel around the country or "independently" (as your own one-person escorted group).

The average number of tourists per group each company takes will vary considerably so you may want to ask about this before booking a trip. Most people travelling to North Korea will travel through [[Beijing]] and you will probably pick up your visa from there, although some agents arrange their visas elsewhere beforehand though. The North Korean consulate building is separate from the main embassy building at Ritan Lu, and is round the corner at Fangcaodi Xijie. It's open M, W, F 09:30-11:30 & 14:00-17:30; and Tu, Th, Sa 09:30-11:30. Bring your travel permission, US$45 and two passport photos. Your guides will take your passport and keep it during your stay in North Korea, or at least for the first couple of days of your tour, for "security reasons", or simply because your entry and exit dates must be registered, as noted by the black stamps on the back of your visa or passport. Make sure your passport looks decent and doesn't differ from the most common passports from your country. '''Volunteer''' Groups such as Choson Exchange bring volunteers (or tourists) to participate in teaching workshops on business and entrepreneurship to businesswomen, young entrepreneurs and researchers, after which volunteers tour relevant sites in North Korea.

This is the jointly controlled truce village in the [[DMZ (Korea)|Korean Demilitarized Zone]] (DMZ) dividing the two Koreas. It has regular one-day bus tours from Seoul. Restrictions apply to specific nationalities. Group bus tours to [[Kaesong]] and [[Kumgangsan]] in North Korea from the South are no longer available. ===By plane=== All international flights go through Pyongyang's '''Sunan International Airport''' ({{IATA|FNJ}}). No other North Korean airport handles international flights. Only two commercial airlines fly to Sunan: Air Koryo, the national North Korean airline, and Air China. As of August 2013 neither Aeroflot nor China Southern Airlines fly to North Korea. ====Air Koryo==== [[File:Air Koryo TU-204 Pyongyang (10043349944).jpg|thumb|One of Air Koryo's Tupolev Tu-204 at Pyongyang's Airport]] North Korea's sole airline, '''[http://www.airkoryo.com.kp Air Koryo]''', has scheduled flights from Beijing, which depart at 11:30 every Tuesday and Saturday, and return from Pyongyang at 09:00 on the same days. Air Koryo also flies to and from [[Shenyang]] every Wednesday and Saturday, and to [[Vladivostok]] every Tuesday morning. They also fly to [[Macau]]. Air Koryo was the only 1-star (worst) airline on Skytrax's list, a distinction it held for many years. It had been banned in the EU due to concerns over safety. Although Air Koryo last experienced a fatal accident back in 1983, the airline only operates a handful of flights with its fleet of 10 aircraft. The main reason for flying Air Koryo is the experience: otherwise, it's probably better to fly Air China. The Air Koryo fleet consists entirely of Soviet or Russian-made aircraft, with the pride of their fleet being two Tupolev Tu-204s, which now usually handle the core Beijing–Pyongyang route as well as the Pyongyang-Shenyang route. Otherwise, you'll most likely end up on one of their Ilyushin IL-62-Ms (1979-1988 vintage), Tupolev Tu-154s or Tupolev Tu-134s. ====Air China==== '''[http://www.airchina.com/ Air China]''', a member of the Star Alliance, flies three times weekly from Beijing to Pyongyang using Boeing 737s. Air China is preferred by most to Air Koryo due to its far more modern fleet. ===By train=== Train K27/K28 connects Pyongyang to Beijing in China via [[Tianjin]], [[Tangshan]], Beidaihe, [[Shanhaiguan]], [[Jinzhou]], Shenyang, [[Benxi]], Fenghuangcheng, [[Dandong]] and [[Sinuiju]] four times a week. There is only one class on the international train between Beijing and Pyongyang: soft sleeper. It can be booked at the station in Beijing, but reservations must be made several days in advance. Your tour agency will usually do this for you, unless you are travelling on work purposes. It has been increasingly difficult to book space on the Beijing–Pyongyang route, so confirm your tickets well in advance. Once a week train K27/K28 also conveys direct sleeping cars from [[Moscow]] via China to [[Pyongyang]] and vice versa. The route is [[Moscow]] - [[Novosibirsk]] - [[Irkutsk]] - [[Chita]] - [[Harbin]] - [[Shenyang]] - [[Dandong]] - [[Shinuiju]] - [[Pyongyang]]. Departure from Moscow is every Friday evening, arrival at Pyongyang is one week later on Friday evening. Departure from Pyongyang is Saturday morning, arrival in Moscow is Friday afternoon. Some agents (eg Lupine Travel) prefer to cross the border from Dandong in China to Sinuiju by minibus and then board a domestic North Korean train to Pyongyang. Usually you will be seated in a hard seat carriage with KPA soldiers and party workers travelling with their families. There is access to a restaurant car which stocks imported beers (Heineken) and soft drinks as well as some local beers and spirits. This train supposedly takes only 4 hours to Pyongyang but has been known to take 14. If travelling in winter be prepared for temperatures inside the carriages as low as -10°C. There is also a direct rail link from Russia into North Korea. This route is the ''Rossiya'' Trans-Siberian train between Moscow and Vladivostock, with the Korea coaches detached at Ussuriysk. From there it's six hours to the border at Tumangan, with a five hour wait, then a 24-hour haul to Pyongyang. It runs weekly, but as a through-train only twice monthly (11th and 25th from Moscow), arriving Pyongyang 9 days later. This route used to be closed to westerners, but as of 2018 it's available, providing you've the correct visa and other paperwork. ===By boat=== There was an unscheduled cargo-passenger ship between Wonsan and [[Niigata]], Japan. Only available for use by some Japanese and North Korean nationals, the boat service has been suspended indefinitely due to North Korea's reported nuclear testing; Japan has banned all North Korean ships from entering Japanese ports, and has banned North Koreans from entering the country. Be careful about getting too close to the North Korean border in a boat; many South Korean fishermen are still waiting to leave North Korea. Besides the unscheduled ferry there is also a cruise ship that operates between the coast of Northeastern China, and Mt Kumgang. Jointly operated by China and North Korea, the cruise line uses a 40-year-old ship. The cruise trip is 22&nbsp;hr long at each leg, and is 44&nbsp;hr long in total but non-Chinese citizens are not permitted on the cruise to Mount Kumgang. ===By bus=== A bus is available from Dandong, China, across the Yalu River to [[Sinuiju]]. It's run by the "Dandong China Travel Company" but is only open to Chinese citizens. The bus drive from Dandong over the Sino-Korea Friendship Bridge (the same bridge over the Yalu river that the trains take). ==Get around== [[File:Hero Youth Highway in DPRK.jpg|thumb|A typical highway scene in North Korea. Tidy strands of trees with a large and empty road in between]] All your transport needs will be dealt with by your tour company. Most of the time this means buses, although tour groups visiting remote sites (e.g. [[Paekdusan]], Mount Chilbo) occasionally use chartered flights by Air Koryo. Wandering around on your own is not allowed, and you are required to have a guide to escort you at all times. A carefully stage-managed one-station ride on the Pyongyang metro is included on the itinerary of most trips to Pyongyang, but use of any other form of local public transport is generally impossible. Some tours also include a train ride from Pyongyang to the border city of Sinuiju, in which you can stop over in Sinuiju for a 1-day tour, though this option is not available to US citizens. If travelling in a small enough group it is also possible to organise a walk through some areas of Pyongyang with some travel agents (Koryo). ==Talk== [[Image:Sign Hangul.JPG|thumb|240px|Handwritten ''hangul'' in an advertisement]] {{seealso|Korean phrasebook}} The official language is '''[[Korean phrasebook|Korean]]'''. North Koreans are quite picky about referring to Korean as '''''chosŏn-mal''''' (조선말), not ''hangugeo''. The language is rather drastically different from any Western language in its grammar, and pronunciation is rather difficult for the English speaker to get right (though not tonal). It has various dialects; standard North Korean (문화어 ''munhwaŏ'') is ostensibly based on the Pyong'an dialect spoken in Pyongyang, but in reality is still deeply rooted in the [[Seoul]] dialect which was the standard before Korea was split. {{infobox|Differences between North and South Korean|Despite 60 years of separation, the Korean language in both North Korea and South Korea is fundamentally the same. The main differences are around the large amount of English nouns that South Korean has borrowed, whereas North Korean uses indigenous or Russian derived words instead. Descriptions of political and social structures are also completely different as a direct result of the different ideological directions of both countries; the most significant example is that words referring to the ruling Kim family are always '''bolded''' in North Korea.}} The Korean writing system is deceptively simple. Although it looks at first glance to be as complex as Chinese or Japanese, it is a unique and simple alphabetic writing system called '''''chosŏn'gŭl''''' by North Koreans, and hangul (한글 ''hangeul'') by the rest of the world, where letters are stacked up into blocks that represent syllables. It was designed by a committee and looks like simple lines, boxes and little circles, but it is remarkably consistent, logical and quick to pick up. A document from 1446 describing hangul said that '''"A wise man can acquaint himself with them before the morning is over; a stupid man can learn them in the space of ten days."''' Essentially all sources for learning Korean abroad will teach South Korean, which does have slightly different usage: some letters have different names, the sorting order is different, and there are some minor differences in pronunciation and spelling. Unlike South Korea, North Korea has abolished Chinese ''hanja'' characters and uses hangul characters exclusively. North Korea uses its own unique system for romanization of Korean, which is mostly similar to the older McCune–Reischauer system. In South Korea and the rest of the world, Revised Romanization is more common. Most guides will speak fairly decent '''English''' (some better than others) and will translate for you. Some guides can also speak Mandarin, German, Russian, Japanese and Spanish. There is no law preventing citizens of the DPRK from interacting with tourists, although locals are often discouraged from speaking with foreigners and language can prove to be an additional barrier. A visit to the DPRK around their holidays may give you more of a chance to interact with the locals. North Korea has its own sign language, which is not mutually intelligible with Korean Sign Language as used in South Korea; it's unclear if it's related to any other sign languages, or how widespread it is. ==See== [[File:Arirang Mass Games 2013 (10161718564).jpg|thumb|A revolutionary scene from the Arirang Mass Games]] All tours are accompanied by a government minder, who will decide what you can and cannot see. From the moment you leave your hotel, expect to be accompanied by one or more minders. Besides ensuring that tourists do not stray outside of the designated tourist areas, their jobs include inspecting any photographs which they think do not portray North Korea or its government in a good light, and ordering photographers to delete them. It is generally advisable to listen to what your minder is saying, and agree with it. Asking awkward socio-political questions will result in vague, evasive replies at best, and several hours of interrogation at worst. It is always recommended that if you are uncertain about taking pictures anywhere, ask your guide, though allowances seem to vary wildly. You may get a guide that is relatively relaxed and will allow you to take pictures from a bus or within a city. On the other hand, you may get one that will strictly adhere to controlling where you take pictures restricting anything taken from a tour bus or of certain areas, like Pyongyang's city streets, in general. There is simply no way to tell until you are actually on a tour. If you think a particular photograph might be embarrassing to the DPRK in general, ask or simply don't risk taking it at all. Photography of military personnel is also generally prohibited. Again, if in doubt, ask your guide. However, there are instances where it is impossible not to photograph certain sites without including a few military personnel within the picture such as at Mansudae (the monument site for the statues of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il) or at a local funfair. Reactions seem to vary between being ignored to curiosity, although you will be told where taking pictures is strictly prohibited (such as at certain areas of the DMZ), and the guards/soldiers there will react unfavourably to being photographed in general. Other areas where photographs are prohibited include the interior of the Friendship Exhibition, which displays gifts from around the world to Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, and within the Kumsusan Memorial Palace. If you leave the country via train (to [[Beijing]]) your camera will likely be checked for unfavorable photos by the guards. The majority of sightseeing consists of visits to various war memorials, monuments to the Great Leader and the Workers Party of Korea, and numerous museums (mostly war-related, like the statues and monuments). The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a popular destination for most tour groups in North Korea. Whilst you are in North Korea, the prevailing viewpoint places blame on the Americans for starting the Korean War; disagreeing with this position is likely to cause problems for both you and your guide, particularly as the two Koreas are still legally at war with only a cease-fire between them. Despite its misleading name, the DMZ is heavily guarded and dotted with minefields and other booby-traps. Under no circumstances should you stray from your group, or take any photographs of military installations. However, the "peace village" [[Panmunjom]] may be photographed, and boasts the world's third tallest flagpole. Whilst on these guided tours, especially to the state museums and monuments, you will undoubtedly endure an ongoing barrage of propaganda, consisting largely of anecdotes about things that Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il did for their country. Some of these claims may seem bizarre and even amusing to the outsider; however, a straight face is generally advisable. It is generally safest to at least appear to take everything they say seriously, even if it contradicts everything you were ever taught in history class or defies even the most basic human reasoning. ===Sights=== [[File:Landscape with Mountains in North Korea.JPG|thumb|Mountainous landscapes near Kaesong]] So, with all this practical information being said, what are the places to go? A good part of the important attractions you'll be shown are in '''[[Pyongyang]]'''. There's the large '''Kim Il-sung Square''', where the famously grand military parades take place. Even without the parades, though, it's an impressive square, and on it is the '''Grand People’s Study House'''. This gigantic library and learning centre is home to over 30 million books and a modern system of conveyor belts to get you the one you need. Also on the square are two museums, of which — the '''Korean National Art Gallery''' — is the more interesting one. The other great landmark of the nation's capital is its '''Triumphal Arch'''. Slightly bigger than its Parisian counterpart, it is in fact the largest arch of its kind in the world. Another landmark you'll be proudly shown are the large bronze '''statues of the Great Leader and Kim Jong-il'''. Respectfully join the locals in their serious undertakings to honour the statues, which are a key element of the devotion cult around the national leaders. For a better chance of some casual conversations with locals, try the pleasant Pyongyang '''zoo'''. Take a daytrip to the birthplace of the Great Leader in Mangyongdae and of course, visit the '''Kumsusan Palace of the Sun''' where both the previous Kim's embalmed bodies are on display. No trip to North Korea is complete without an extensive glance at the uneasy and heavily fortified border stand-off at '''[[Panmunjeom]]''', or the Joint Security Area. Not far from here is the town of '''[[Kaesong]]''', with a lovely old town and the [[UNESCO]]-listed '''tomb of King Kongmin'''. For stunning natural sights, try reaching '''[[Kumgangsan]]''', or the ''Diamond Mountains'', where you'll find beautiful vistas, waterfalls, lakes and ancient '''Buddhist temples'''. ==Do== [[File:Statues at the Tomb of King Wanggon (10104313105).jpg|thumb|Statues at the tomb of King Wanggon, the founder of the Goryeo Dynasty, in [[Kaesong]]]] As mentioned above, there is very little to do beyond the watchful eye of your designated minders, with most recreational activity taking place within the confines of the tourist resorts. Bowling and karaoke are among the latest additions to its surprising plethora of recreational activities. The karaoke videos are often accompanied by dramatic historical footage of the Korean War, or goose-stepping People's Army soldiers. North Korea has three amusement parks, two of which are abandoned due to mutual lack of interest and electricity. The Kaeson Youth Fair has now closed, taking the infamous "Roller Coaster of Death" along with it. Still visible are the shooting-galleries with backdrops of snarling American and Japanese soldiers; however, it is unlikely that your guide will let you venture into any abandoned areas. The one remaining amusement park contains some rides which are actually quite modern and non-lethal, at least by North Korean standards, and is about as worthy of a visit as everything else you'll see whilst in North Korea. The nightlife in [[Pyongyang]] is remarkably safe and non-violent, compared to the capitals of other nations (except maybe [[Reykjavík]] in [[Iceland]]); in general, the civilians are not a threat. The plain-clothes secret police, however, may or may not be a threat, depending on what you say or do. Popular music in North Korea consists largely of 1980s hits from anglophone countries and traditional Korean folk songs You will not find newspapers or magazines from outside North Korea (since media from outside the country is generally banned for ordinary North Koreans). Foreign broadcasts are jammed and the only radio and television allowed is government propaganda, although several international news outlets (including BBC World News and NHK World) are available in tourist hotels. Fortunately, alcohol is cheap and plentiful, although it is not advisable to become intoxicated and make a scene of oneself. Furthermore, both the trafficking and consumption of narcotics are punished ''very'' severely by authorities; traffickers can expect to face the death penalty if caught. Finally, power cuts may hit without warning in the middle of any activity. Whilst you might welcome this if the jukebox is starting to get to you, this is not a desirable outcome if you are in the middle of an amusement-park ride, particularly as these blackouts can last for hours at a time. The '''Masikryong ski resort,''' North Korea's only ski resort, opened in winter 2013. Located near the western city of Wonsan, a visit to the resort may be included as part of a wider DPRK tour. ==Buy== ===Money=== {{infobox|Currency in North Korea|Most short-term tourists in North Korea will not encounter the local currency at all, as the restaurants and souvenir shops geared towards tourists will deal exclusively in hard currency — U.S. dollars, euros, or Chinese yuan. Prices in these stores are listed roughly in U.S. cents. Vendors will rarely have change available, and having small bills to make change yourself will be very helpful in not being over-charged for purchases. Longer term visitors to Pyongyang should consider getting a debit card (labeled 전자결제카드, ''jeonjagyeoljekadeu'') to make getting change easier. These can usually be bought at the Pyongyang store in the diplomatic compound for US$5, and can be used and recharged at most foreigner-targeted stores around the city. Markets, road-side stands, and stores targeting locals will deal in North Korean won. There are several booths around the city which are able to convert foreign currency into won. The largest note is ₩5000, roughly the cost of a Coke. The smallest is ₩5, which is used for the metro. Notes under ₩500 are generally not used. If you want smaller notes, ask to convert 1 or 5 Chinese yuan at a currency exchange booth. You may get a strange look, but likely will be given some of the harder to find ₩5 and ₩10 notes.}} The currency is the North Korean '''won''', denoted by the symbol '''₩''' (ISO code: '''KPW''') and not typically available to foreigners, except some old North Korean won sold for souvenir. Black market exchange rates (especially in far northern Korea, near the Chinese border) may easily be 20 times the official rate, but importing or exporting Korean won is strictly forbidden. North Korean won is practically worthless outside the country but can make unique souvenirs. Foreigners are expected to use euros or as an alternative Chinese renminbi, US dollars or Japanese yen. Currency handling is often bizarre, with a frequent lack of change and a number of rule-of-thumb conversions leading to highly unorthodox transactions, so be sure to bring lots of small change. On a typical tour most expenses such as hotel, transportation, and meals will have been paid in advance, and therefore your only expenses may be bottled water, souvenirs, snacks, drinks at the bars, laundry at the hotel and tips for your guides. In any case, the only shops you will be likely allowed to visit are the state-run souvenir shops at your hotel and at the various tourist attractions. It is generally not possible to visit a real local shop which serves the local population, though you might get lucky asking your guide if he/she trusts you enough. Some tours include a visit to a department store. ===Souvenirs=== [[File:Pyongyang store3.JPG|thumb|A special store for foreigners in Pyongyang, with most merchandise imported from China]] {{cautionbox|Planning to enter [[South Korea]] after your visit to North Korea? The South has very strict laws, including the National Security Act, on the import and possession of North Korean propaganda. Do not attempt to bring anything into South Korea that could be construed as North Korean propaganda, including images of North Korean leaders such as stamps or postcards. North Korean biographies and books are also illegal.}} There are numerous hard-currency only souvenir shops at tourist sites. Interesting souvenirs include propaganda books and videos, postcards and postage stamps. At some tourist sites (such as King Kongmin's tomb), you can purchase freshly finished paintings with your name and the artist's name at the bottom. You can buy [[postal service|postcards]] and send them to people in any country except South Korea which apparently will not deliver them. Some excellent paintings on silk or linen have been available in Kaesong directly from the artist. Haggling for better prices is not permitted but the prices are very low. ===Costs=== Most costs are included as part of your tour. Most sights have a shop associated with them where you can buy bottled water, souvenirs and snacks. These are reasonably priced. In September 2017, large bottles of local beer cost US$2 at the hotel bars in Pyongyang. €200 for one week should be enough to cover your costs of water, drinks at the bars, souvenirs and tips for the guides. ==Eat== [[File:Hibachi restaurant at Haedanghwa Health Complex - North Korea (10392326233).jpg|thumb|The ''Hibachi'' restaurant in the Haedanghwa Health Complex in Pyongyang]] {{see also|Korean cuisine}} As with most other aspects of visiting North Korea, catering is usually organized in advance as part of your tour. Vegetarians and people with food allergies or dislikes of common foods such as seafood or eggs will need to make arrangements in advance. A visit to a "real" local restaurant may be possible; enquire with your guide. Shortages of supplies, combined with the typical use of Korean cooking styles, mean that there is a relatively limited variety of food — and this can get wearying on tours of more than a few days. There are a few Western food options now in Pyongyang and these restaurants can usually be visited if arranged with the guides in advance. They will usually require additional payment though, unless you have discussed this already with your tour operator, as the costs are not included in the ''per diem'' fee charged by the Korean Travel Company. There are two Italian restaurants (one on Kwangbok Street which is near the Korean circus where the pizza is great, and they have imported a pizza oven and all the ingredients so the quality is very high; and one near the USS ''Pueblo'') and two burger restaurants (the more accessible is in the Youth Hotel). Both are inexpensive and do inject some flavor onto a generally lackluster eating scene, especially on long tours. Visit the Vienna coffee house, which is on the river side of Kim Jong Il square, for a good coffee similar to those common in Europe. ==Drink== The local speciality is '''''insam-ju''''', Korean vodka infused with ginseng roots. Locally made Taedonggang beer is very good. The brewery was purchased from Ushers in the UK and physically moved to Pyongyang, and some of the ''soju'' are not bad either. Local alcohol is inexpensive; a 650&nbsp;ml bottle of beer is €0.50. Imported beers, such as Heineken, are also available at similar prices. However do not get drunk and cause trouble. Toe the line and show respect, or you and your guide will face serious penalties. It is advisable to stick to bottled water for drinking as the tap water is not always properly treated. [[Image:Ryugyong Hotel - August 27, 2011 (Cropped).jpg|thumb|The still unfinished Ryugyong Hotel in [[Pyongyang|P'y&#335;ngyang]]]] ==Sleep== This is likely to be your principal expense while in North Korea. You may only stay at "designated tourist hotels", for which you will need to pay in hard currency. There may be discounts if you ask for lower class accommodation, if you are travelling as part of a group, or if it is low season (November – March). Costs for your tour, which will include accommodation, all sightseeing activities and meals, will range from US$70 to US$200 a day, depending on these factors. Usually you pay for all your meals, hotel and Beijing–Pyongyang journey to your tour operator before you leave. One week in high season at a four-star hotel will then cost something between €1,300 and €1,600, depending on your tour operator, but might get as low as €800 for one week. ==Learn== [[File:North Korea-Pyongyang-Kim Il-sung University-01.jpg|thumbnail|Kim Il Sung University]] It can be difficult for foreigners to become students in North Korea, although university exchange programmes may be possible. The [http://www.pyongyangproject.org/ Pyongyang Project] arranges tours of North Korea with an academic focus, with the aim of participants learning about the country rather than just sightseeing. [http://www.ybu.edu.cn/ Yanbian University], in the [[Yanbian]] Korean Autonomous Prefecture in north eastern [[China]] is closely affiliated with other universities in North Korea and can offer relevant courses for learning about North Korea. ==Work== If you are interested in teaching in North Korea, you may find success by contacting the North Korean UN Mission in New York, or contacting a North Korean university directly. Your odds of success are, however, quite low: there is only a small team of 4 English Language Instructors dealing with teaching and teacher training, with a Project Manager leading the team of three, placed in Kim Il Sung University, Pyongyang University of Foreign Studies and Kim Hyung Jik University of Education. There is an opportunity to teach in [http://www.the-psi.org/ the Pyongyang Summer Institute] during summer time when it is opened to foreigners. It's voluntary, unpaid work, though. ==Stay safe== {{warningbox|'''Do not''' criticise or show any kind of disrespect to the '''Kim dynasty''', the '''North Korean government''', '''North Korean citizens''', the '''Juche ideology''', the '''Songun (military first) policy''', or the '''country in general'''. Simply avoid these topics if you can, even if you're in a room with no North Koreans present (the government has been known to plant recording devices). Anyone you speak to is likely to be affiliated with the North Korean government, and you should always respond accordingly should sensitive topics arise. You and your guide could potentially face serious trouble if you answer incorrectly, although your guide will probably bear the worst of it. North Korea is known for extremely harsh punishments which range from lengthy prison sentences to a lifetime of severe mistreatment and torture.|lastedit=}} Crime levels are practically zero, at least to tourists on a strictly controlled tour. However, pickpockets are the least of your worries. North Korea is an '''authoritarian dictatorship''' and is generally considered to have the '''worst human rights record in the world'''. The authorities are very touchy, and you need to watch what you say and how you say it. Just do what the guides do, praise every stop on your tour, and remember the rule, "If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all." The official policy is that '''you are not to wander around on your own'''. You are expected to get permission and/or have a guide accompany you if you are leaving your hotel on your own. This will vary depending on what hotel you are in. The Yanggakdo Hotel is on an island in the middle of the Taedong River in Pyongyang. Therefore you can walk around the area a little more freely than if you are at the Koryo Hotel right in the centre of town. You should always be friendly and courteous to your guides and driver who will normally reciprocate by trusting you more and giving you more freedom. When taking '''photographs''', exercise restraint, caution and common sense. If you appear to be looking for negative images of North Korea, the guides will not be happy and will tell you to delete any questionable images. In particular, you are not to take photos of anything military, including personnel, or anything showing the DPRK in a bad light. Your photographic freedom can largely depend on the type of guides that you are assigned and the rapport that you have with them. In a best case scenario, you can often take pictures without feeling as if you're trying to sneak them by anyone and without pressure capturing some truly unique images. If you are in an area that prohibits picture taking, you will also be informed of this and it is best to simply follow your guide's direction. When in doubt, always ask. Your guide might even want to try out your camera and take a picture of you for your collection. In a worst-case scenario, you can be expected to raise your camera at a reasonable speed, compose and take the picture, and lower the camera at a reasonable speed. Don't try to take pictures of anything that you have been told not to, such as military personnel or certain locales. This may call attention to yourself and the image you are trying to take and can result, whether justified or not, in your being told to delete the image. Digital cameras are commonly inspected when leaving the country by train. A simple workaround is to leave a memory card with innocuous snaps in the camera and file away any cards with ideologically dubious content. '''Visitors of Korean descent should never reveal this fact.''' North Koreans have a very strong sense of ethnic belonging and this will inevitably draw unwanted attention to you. Furthermore, if you run into trouble then holding a foreign passport will not count for much if you are considered a Korean by the authorities. Visitors have also been targeted for '''political''' reasons; in 2013, an 85-year-old American citizen was arrested, briefly incarcerated and expelled by the DPRK because of his military service during the Korean War. '''Drug trafficking''' and the consumption of '''narcotics''' can be '''punishable by death''' in North Korea. '''Marijuana''', however, is legal and often found growing freely alongside the road in North Korea. ===Emergency numbers=== * From a fixed-line phone: '''119''' * From a mobile phone: '''112''' For medical emergencies in Pyongyang, dial 02 382-7688 locally. ==Stay healthy== '''[[Drinking water]]''' in North Korea is apparently untreated and there are reports of foreigners being hospitalized in the DPRK after drinking the water; therefore, sticking to bottled water is highly recommended. Medical facilities are clean although very outdated. If you fall ill then you might be better off going to China for medical treatment. Contact your embassy or consulate in North Korea (if your country has one) for assistance. ==Respect== [[File:Mansudae Grand Monument (10104320806).jpg|thumb|The first two generations of the Kim dynasty together]] Despite the sharp political differences, North and South Koreans share a common culture; the various respect tips in the [[South_Korea#Respect|South Korea]] article apply here. === Tour conduct === The best way to stay out of trouble is to obey and respect your guide(s). If a guide asks you to obey the tour rules, '''do it'''. Any time you engage in unbecoming conduct, your guide will be blamed for being unable to control you, and they will be penalised for your misbehaviour. Always think before you act, and think before you speak; your actions can and will be reflected upon others, no matter how big or small, and tourists could face restrictions on what they can do in the country because of your behaviour. Whenever you feel tempted to do something, ask yourself, "How will my actions negatively impact myself and other people?" Make that a rule during your stay and keep that in mind at all times. As aforementioned, if you're not prepared to accept severe limitations on your behaviour and movement, you should not travel to North Korea. North Korea isn't for everyone, even for the most seasoned of travellers. Consider giving small gifts like cigarettes, skin cream, and so on to your guides. This will garner respect from the guides, and depending on how well you conduct yourself, they may even take you places and events in North Korea that they wouldn't normally go to. Although there are many great photo opportunities in North Korea, '''the DPRK has very strict photography laws'''. This largely depends on what guide you've been assigned. If you're in doubt, just ask. There's no harm in asking the guide(s) at all. Never, ever, take photographs of anything of strategic importance (i.e. places with soldiers/policemen, etc.) and/or things you've been told not to photograph. Also, '''don't take photographs of things that can negatively portray North Korea'''. The North Korean authorities take this rule very seriously. === Sensitive issues === It is important to emphasize that the government of the DPRK — in particular the leaders Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il and Kim Jong-un — are, at least publicly, very highly revered in North Korean culture. While slavish devotion is not expected from tourists, '''criticism of the Kim dynasty, the Workers Party of Korea, and/or Juche is unwise'''; it can get you into serious trouble. Similarly, '''don't even think about''' asking a North Korean about what they think about their country's political situation. It is advisable to refer to North Korea as the DPRK instead when discussing it with your guides. DPRK stands for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and is the official name for the country reflecting their belief that the south (not capitalized) is occupied territory. You will also notice this referenced in their literature in the same way (i.e. as "south Korea"). When speaking Korean, South Korea should be referred as "South Chosun" (남조선/南朝鮮) instead of "Hanguk" (한국/韓國). Most, if not all, tour groups to the DPRK are asked to solemnly bow and lay flowers on one or two occasions in front of statues of Kim Il Sung when visiting monuments of national importance. '''If you're not prepared to do this, do not even try to enter North Korea.''' Just be sure you always act in a respectful manner around images of the two leaders. This includes taking respectful photos of any image of them. When photographing statues, especially Mansudae, be sure to get the entire statue in the photo. Formal dress is also expected at important monuments such as Mansudae or in visiting the Kumsusang Memorial Palace. ===Religion=== North Korea is officially atheist. The regime promotes a national philosophy of self-reliance called ''Juche'' (주체) which some would categorize as a political religion that pervades all aspects of life in the country. As a tourist, you will not be expected to observe this, although you must always be respectful towards symbols of ''Juche'' which are often the images of past and present leaders Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il and Kim Jong-un. ==Connect== ===By phone=== For international calls to North Korea, the country code is '''+850'''. Some phone numbers (mostly faxes) can be called directly from abroad; most other calls will need to go through the international operator service on +850-2-18111. International calling is generally possible via landlines in hotels, though it is expensive (€2 per minute as of Feb 2012) and all calls are likely recorded and monitored. Local calls need elusive 10&nbsp;chon coins when calling from call boxes, but can also be made from hotels and post offices. Additionally, your phone calls may be heavily monitored, so you should be careful of what you talk about in phone calls that you make in North Korea. ====Mobile phones==== As of January 2013, you are allowed to carry a [[Mobile phones|mobile phone]] from outside the country into North Korea. You will not be able to use your current SIM card in North Korea, however. The only network you are allowed to connect to is the local network, Koryolink, via one of their SIM cards. Your phone must be a 3G WCDMA phone which can connect to the 2100MHz 3G frequency band. A 3G mobile phone network (Koryolink) was introduced in Pyongyang in 2008 and now covers the 42 largest cities. It is widely used by locals who can afford it and by long-staying foreigners who file an application. SIM cards and phones can be purchased at the International Communication Center, No.2 Pothonggang-dong in Pothonggang District, opposite the Pyongyang Indoor Stadium, as well as at Pyongyang airport and some hotels. As of 25 Feb 2013, 3G mobile internet via Koryolink is available to foreigners, although pricing is unknown. Bear in mind that these SIM cards will only let you call internationally and to a very small number of internationally-enabled phones in North Korea. There are three plans you can choose from for your SIM card: #Purchase a prepaid SIM card for €50. This gives you the SIM card to keep indefinitely for return visits, and includes a small amount (less than €30) of calling credit. #Rent a prepaid SIM card for two weeks for €50. This includes €30 of calling credit. #Rent a prepaid SIM card for one month for €75. This includes €55 of calling credit.

For foreigners, most of the larger hotels have Internet access available, but this needs to be applied for some days in advance. Advise your tour operator or inviting party of your requirements well ahead of time so that access permission can be arranged. There are no public internet cafés or business centres with web access in the hotels. Mobile internet is available via Koryolink's 3G network (see above) using a local SIM card, but details about this are scarce. Also, even if you have Internet access, your traffic will probably be monitored. There is very little Internet connectivity in North Korea; the little that exists is routed through mainland China and risks heavy censorship by that country's Golden Shield Project, the "[[China#Internet censorship|Great Firewall of China]]". ==Cope== There is a growing diplomatic presence of [[Pyongyang#Embassies|foreign embassies in Pyongyang]]. Find out beforehand which country can assist you in case of an emergency, such as a medical condition or a police incident. Sweden serves as the protecting power for American, Australian, and Canadian travellers in North Korea, so these visitors may be able to obtain limited consular services from the Swedish embassy in Pyongyang. American nationals are not allowed by the U.S. Department of State to visit North Korea, although if you must then it is still recommended to notify (by email) the Swedish embassy of your visit to North Korea, as well as to inform the U.S. embassy in Beijing, China, particularly if your trip to North Korea entails passing through China. The British embassy offers consular services to Commonwealth citizens who do not have representation through other countries, except for Singaporeans and Tanzanians, whose governments have opted out of this arrangement. {{isPartOf|East Asia}} {{usablecountry}} {{geo|40.4|127|zoom=7}} lcykwrkbm74re6g63kvanaqzqk5hbxe 4496044 4496042 2022-08-06T11:07:56Z SHB2000 2248002 Reverted edits by [[Special:Contributions/The History Wizard of Cambridge|The History Wizard of Cambridge]] ([[User talk:The History Wizard of Cambridge|talk]]) to last version by [[User:ThunderingTyphoons!|ThunderingTyphoons!]] wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|NK_Banner.jpg}} {{warningbox|The United States forbids travel to North Korea on U.S. passports without special permission, and such travel is a crime punishable under U.S. law.

It's located in [[East Asia]] on the [[Korean Peninsula]], which has been divided between North and [[South Korea]] since the 1950s. Travel provides the opportunity to see the last frontier of the [[Cold War]], where a society still runs under a strict Stalinist governance with an emphasis on the military, and economic development lags visibly behind the other nations in the region. Tourists may only travel to North Korea as part of a guided tour and independent travel is not permitted. Visitors are constantly monitored in order to ensure their interactions with local people are managed, so as to prevent activities such as taking "unsuitable" photos, criticism of North Korea, disrespect towards the Great Leader, or talking to locals without permission. About 1,500 Western tourists visit North Korea every year. Most complete the journey without incident, as long as they follow their ever-present guides. Incidents have occurred, and when they do then due process is hard to come by. The most likely consequence of any [[authority trouble|trouble with the authorities]] is a period of detention before deportation. You should not travel to North Korea if you are not prepared to accept severe limitations on your movement and behavior, or the risk of arbitrary, indefinite detention. ==Regions== {{Regionlist | regionmap=North_Korea_Regions_Map.png | regionmapsize=430px | region1name=[[Donghae Coast]] | region1color=#86B9DB | region1items=[[Chongjin]], [[Hamhung]], [[Rason]], North Hamgyong, South Hamgyong, Kangwon, K&#365;mgang-san | region1description= | region2name=[[Baekdu Mountains]] | region2color=#B383B3 | region2items=Ryanggang, Chagang | region2description= | region3name=[[Pyongan]] | region3color=#6DA0A6 | region3items=North P'yongan, South P'yongan, [[Kaechon]], [[Nampho]], [[Pyongyang]], [[Shinuiju]] | region3description= | region4name=[[Hwanghae]] | region4color=#D5A664 | region4items=North Hwanghae, South Hwanghae, [[Kaesong]] | region4description= }} ==Cities== <!--Cities and Other destinations lists are limited to 9 items.

Comb-pattern pottery culture peaked around 3500-2000&nbsp;BC. Legend has it that Korea began with the founding of Gojoseon (also called ''Ancient Chosun'') by the legendary Dangun in 2333&nbsp;BC. Archeological and contemporaneous written records of Gojoseon as a kingdom date back to around 7th-4th century BC. Gojoseon was eventually defeated by the Chinese Han Dynasty in 108 BC and its territories were governed by four Chinese commanderies, but this did not last long. Natives of the peninsula and Manchuria soon reclaimed the territory, namely the Three Kingdoms of Korea, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje. The '''Goguryeo Kingdom''' (or Koguryo) ruled the entire area of modern North Korea, as well as parts of Manchuria and the northern parts of modern South Korea. Buddhist and Confucian teachings were prominent in the Goguryeo Kingdom, which adopted Buddhism as the state religion in 372. Despite repeated attempts by China, namely the Sui Dynasty and later the Tang Dynasty, to conquer the Korean Peninsula, northern-based Goguryeo managed to repel them. Eventually, Goguryeo fell to a Silla-Tang alliance, which had earlier defeated Baekje. This unified Korea under the Silla dynasty. Even though Tang later invaded, Silla forces managed to drive them out, thus maintaining Korea's independence. Unified Silla was replaced by the Goryeo (also called ''Koryo'') dynasty, from which the modern name "Korea" derives. One highlight of the Goryeo dynasty was that in 1234 the world's first metal movable type was invented by a Korean named Choe Yun-ui (200 years before Gutenberg's printing press). Buddhist learning spread during this time and the former Baekje and Goguryeo leaders were treated well. The kingdom saw relative peace until the 8th and 9th centuries when clan leaders led uprisings and toppled the Silla, establishing the Goryeo Dynasty from which the name "Korea" was derived by Westerners. During this period, the nation suffered Mongol invasions, which led to unrest and the eventual establishment of the Joseon Dynasty in 1392. {{quickbar|location=LocationNorthKorea.png}} ====Joseon Dynasty==== The Joseon Dynasty was one of the longest-running dynasties in the world (512 years), ruling from 1392 until 1910. '''King Sejong the Great''''s rule was especially celebrated, as he helped create the Korean script, ''choson'gul'', which allowed even the commoners to become literate. He also expanded the nation's military power to drive out Japanese pirates and northern nomads and regain territories that had been lost. The Japanese invaded Korea under the leadership of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, though the Joseon Dynasty managed to drive them out with the support of China's Ming Dynasty, albeit with heavy losses in the Korean peninsula. In spite of its losses, the nation experienced about 200 years of peace, and its isolationist policies allowed it to further develop a uniquely Korean culture and identity. Rapid modernisation stirred by the Second Industrial Revolution created tension between China and Japan as they felt the pressures of Western expansionism, each wanting to extend their influence over Korea. Ensuing wars between Japan, China and Russia led to increasing Japanese influence over the peninsula, resulting in Korea's status as a vassal state of Imperial China ending in 1895, and Japan annexing Korea outright in 1910, marking the end of the Joseon dynasty and Korean independence. ====Japanese occupation and a divided Korea==== {{seealso|Korean War}} Japan ruled the Korea as a colony until its defeat in [[Pacific War|World War II]] in 1945. During that period, the Japanese committed numerous atrocities including massacres, and forced many Korean women to become "comfort women"; sex slaves in Japanese military brothels. Moreover, Japan instituted a cultural assimilation policy, forcing the Koreans to adopt Japanese names, and forbidding them from speaking the Korean language. Japan was forced to give up control of all its colonies after is defeat in World War II in 1945, and the Allied Powers divided Korea along the 38th Parallel, with the Soviet Union occupying the northern half and the United States occupying the southern half. The divide was supposed to be temporary; however, the political power struggle between the two nations to gain influence over the unified Korea led each to establish governments within their newly created territories. North Korea was established as its own nation in 1948 with the support of the Soviet Union, following the Soviet Communist model, with Kim Il-Sung as its leader, while at about the same time, Syngman Rhee established a capitalist regime with the support of the United States in the south. Agitation between the North and South came to a head in 1950 when the North started the '''Korean War''' by attempting to reunify the country under its terms by launching an invasion. The Soviet Union and China fought alongside the North against the South, who were in turn backed by the United Nations (UN) forces led by the [[United States]]. The UN forces drove the North Korean forces all the way up to the Chinese border, whereupon Chinese reinforcements forced the UN forces to be driven back south. The war finally resulted in the signing of an armistice in 1953, largely maintaining the original borders set prior to the war. Because no peace treaty has been signed since the armistice, the nations of [[South Korea]] and North Korea are officially still at war. ====Modern North Korea==== [[File:Party Foundation Monument (10875731074).jpg|thumb|The symbols of the Korean Workers' Party: the hammer for the worker, the sickle for the peasant, and the brush for the intellectual]] [[File:Laika ac Pyongyang (7968448156).jpg|thumbnail|Communist propaganda in Pyongyang]] With the nation in shambles after the war, Kim Il-Sung launched a campaign to unite the people by defaming the [[United States]] with Soviet support and purging the nation of dissidents and anyone thought to oppose him. He sided with China during the Sino-Soviet Split on Communist philosophy because he disliked Krushchev's reforms but began to praise the Soviet Union once again when China underwent its Cultural Revolution, straining relations with both neighbors. Consequently, he developed his own ideology, '''''Juche''''' ("self-reliance"), to create the sort of Communism he wanted for his nation. Throughout his life, Kim Il-Sung added to and clarified the Juche ideology in order to justify his governing decisions. The Korean War not only divided the people, but it also divided the labor force. When the peninsula was united, North Korea had most of the nation's industries while South Korea was the agricultural center. This divide allowed North Korea to initially bounce back faster than the South in the rebuilding process. The Soviet Union then funded agricultural efforts in the North, in accordance with the Communist model. This system began to unravel in the late 1970s and 1980s as the Soviet system began to falter. With the end of Soviet aid following its dissolution in 1991, there was no way to continue to support the agricultural systems' needs for fuel, fertilizer and equipment. After so many years of government mismanagement, and the bad timing of severe flooding, the North's agricultural system collapsed in the mid-1990s, leading to widespread famine and death for countless North Koreans. The death of Kim Il-Sung in 1994 took place while the nation tried to deal with the crisis, slowing government response as the new leader, Kim Jong-Il, took his father's position. The North finally allowed international relief agencies to assist, and the worst aspects of the famine were contained. However, the DPRK continues to rely heavily on international food aid to feed its population while at the same time continuing to expend resources on its ''songun'', or "military first", policy, which Kim Jong-Il introduced and used in conjunction with his father's ''Juche'' ideology (which he "interpreted"). Today the DPRK maintains an army of about 1 million infantrymen, most stationed close to the DMZ which divides the two Koreas. North Korea's long-range missile development and research into nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and massive conventional armed forces are of major concern to the international community. In December 2002, Kim Jong-Il reneged on a 1994 "Agreed Framework" signed by his father which required the shut down of its nuclear reactors, expelling UN monitors and further raising fears that the nation would produce nuclear weapons. Missile testing was conducted in 1998, 2006 and April 2009. In October 2006 North Korea announced that it had conducted its first nuclear test. These actions have led to UN and other international sanctions. Current negotiations, most notably the "Six-Party Talks" involving China, Russia, Japan, North Korea, South Korea and the United States, are aimed at bringing about an end to the DPRK nuclear weapons program, in hopes that a peace treaty to officially end the Korean War may finally be agreed upon, paving the way for the opening of diplomatic ties between North Korea and the United States. Unfortunately, in March 2010, a South Korean ship was sunk near the 38th parallel, increasing tensions between North and South Korea. Although North Korea claims not to have attacked the ship, the blame has largely been placed on North Korea. The death of Kim Jong-Il in late 2011 created a measure of uncertainty during the transfer of power to his son Kim Jong-Un; though the country has appeared to have stabilized since, considerable tensions have occurred intermittently. ===Government and politics=== North Korea is a totalitarian dictatorship. The government is led by the State Affairs Commission (SAC), which sets national policy and is directly responsible for the military. The supreme leader (Kim Jong-un) is chairman of the SAC, as well as head of the Workers' Party of Korea and several other positions. Atop the administrative branch of the government is the cabinet, which is headed by the premier (like a prime minister). The cabinet is appointed by the unicameral Supreme People's Assembly (SPA) which heads the legislative branch, although bills are drafted by the Party and the almost 700-person SPA almost always passes them without debate or modification. Moreover, it's in recess all but a few days a year, leaving most authority in the hands of the 15-person Presidium. The judiciary is headed by the Supreme Court, whose three justices are elected, partisan, and accountable to the SPA. The judiciary is not independent and does not have the power to overrule the legislative or executive branches of government, and interference from security forces is a widespread problem. ===People=== North Korea may be the most ethnically homogeneous nation on earth, with everyone being Korean save for a few hundred foreigners. These foreigners are mostly diplomatic or aid agency workers, along with a small population of Japanese who have Korean ancestry. Almost no South Koreans live in North Korea. North Korean society is strongly divided and organised along a caste system known as ''Songun''. Membership of one of three main groups is determined not only by an individual's political, social and economic background, but also that of their family for the previous three generations. Education and professional opportunities are effectively defined by an individual's class. ===Climate=== [[File:Pyongyang.jpg|thumb|Pyongyang seen in the morning]] The climate is generally classed as continental, with rainfall concentrated in summer. Summer months are warm, but winter temperatures can fall as low as -30°C. Late spring droughts are often followed by severe flooding. There are occasional typhoons during the early autumn. ===Terrain=== Mostly hills and mountains separated by deep, narrow valleys; coastal plains are wide in the west and discontinuous in the east. The mountainous interior is both isolated and sparsely populated. ===Read=== ''The Accusation'', by Bandi. A collection of short stories, published abroad by a pseudonymous North Korean writer, that are highly critical of the Kim regime and full of piercing insight into its contradictions and cruelties. Uniquely among North Korean dissident literature, they were published with their author still living in the country. ''Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea'', Barbara Demick. An excellent book recounting the lives of six North Koreans who managed to defect and find their way to South Korea. Provides a compelling picture of the miseries and occasional beauty in the lives of ordinary North Koreans during the famine of the 1990s. {{ISBN|0385523912}} ''Eyes of the Tailless Animals: Prison Memoirs of a North Korean Woman'', by Soon Ok Lee. First-hand accounts of the prison system within North Korea ''Escape from Camp 14: One Man's Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West'', by Blaine Harden. The riveting story of Shin Dong-hyuk, one of the only known surviving escapees of a North Korean prison camp, and his perilous journey out of the country. ''Without You There Is No Us'', by Suki Kim. A fascinating piece of investigative journalism about teaching English as a foreigner in Pyongyang. ==Get in== {{VisaRestriction|The US State Department issued a travel ban prohibiting travel to North Korea on a United States passport. Very limited exceptions may be granted, mostly for journalists and aid workers; [https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/requirements/passport-for-travel-to-north-korea.html details here]. People who have visited North Korea are not allowed to enter the U.S. under the visa-waiver program, and must apply for a U.S. visa instead. <small>[https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/north-korea-travel-advisory.html Travel Warning]</small>}} {{COVID-19 box|North Korea has '''shut down''' its border to foreign tourists.|lastedit=2021-11-27}} Visiting North Korea can be challenging and you will not have the freedom to explore the country without a North Korean escort, either as part of a group or individual tour. Entry conditions change frequently and without notice depending on the geopolitical situation. For example, North Korea was virtually closed to tourism between October 2014 and March 2015 due to an Ebola scare, despite there being no cases of the disease in or anywhere near the country. ===Visas=== [[File:Visa policy of North Korea (DPR Korea).png|thumbnail|Visa policy of North Korea]] [[File:DPRK tourist card.jpg|thumbnail|Tourist card]] In accordance with North Korean law, '''everyone needs a visa''' to visit North Korea. Tourists typically arrange a tourist visa through booking a tour with a travel agency that organises such tours. The travel agencies will usually deal with the visa on their behalf, although in some cases tourists are required to have a short telephone interview with the North Korean embassy in order to verify their identity and their job. In most cases the interview is conducted in a friendly manner so it is nothing to be worried about. Visas are often only confirmed on the day before the tour, but rarely will a tourist ever be rejected unless you show that you are of political status or a journalist. North Korean tourists visas are often issued on a tourist card. If joining a tour group, group visas are often issued on separate sheets of papers containing all the members of the group, attached with a tourist card that bear the name of the tour leader. This visa itself is never held by the tourists, although tourists can ask to take a photo of their visa. In any case no stamp will be placed in the passport. The only way where a visa and entrance stamp will be stamped on the passport is when the visa is issued within a North Korean embassy in Europe. ====Additional restrictions==== '''Journalists''' or those suspected of being journalists require special permission, which is quite difficult to obtain. The North Koreans do not allow journalists to visit the country on tourist visas. Citizens of '''Malaysia''' were being prevented from leaving North Korea after the March 2017 assassination of Kim Jong-Nam, where Malaysia wanted several North Korean diplomats and nationals for questioning. While restrictions for Malaysians leaving North Korea have now been lifted, the era of visa-free travel between these once relatively 'friendly' countries is over. Citizens of '''South Korea''' are not permitted to enter North Korea unless they have permission from the governments of both the North, for entry, and the South from the Ministry of Unification (통일부). South Korean citizens may face a lengthy prison sentence under the National Security Act (국가보안법) on their return if they do not obtain permission beforehand. South Korean citizens travelling to North Korea on a passport from a different country still risk prosecution. Contrary to rumour, '''Israelis and Jewish citizens''' of other countries do not face any additional restrictions. ===Tours=== [[Image:NorthKorea KijongDong.JPG|thumb|Kijong-dong village, in the DMZ near [[Panmunjeom|Panmunjom]]]] North Korea can only be visited by an organised tour, but this can be a large group or a party of one. Prices start from around {{USD|1,000}}/{{€|700}}/{{GBP|580}} for a 5-day group tour including accommodation, meals and transport from Beijing, but can go up considerably if you want to travel around the country or "independently" (as your own one-person escorted group).

The average number of tourists per group each company takes will vary considerably so you may want to ask about this before booking a trip. Most people travelling to North Korea will travel through [[Beijing]] and you will probably pick up your visa from there, although some agents arrange their visas elsewhere beforehand though. The North Korean consulate building is separate from the main embassy building at Ritan Lu, and is round the corner at Fangcaodi Xijie. It's open M, W, F 09:30-11:30 & 14:00-17:30; and Tu, Th, Sa 09:30-11:30. Bring your travel permission, US$45 and two passport photos. Your guides will take your passport and keep it during your stay in North Korea, or at least for the first couple of days of your tour, for "security reasons", or simply because your entry and exit dates must be registered, as noted by the black stamps on the back of your visa or passport. Make sure your passport looks decent and doesn't differ from the most common passports from your country. '''Volunteer''' Groups such as Choson Exchange bring volunteers (or tourists) to participate in teaching workshops on business and entrepreneurship to businesswomen, young entrepreneurs and researchers, after which volunteers tour relevant sites in North Korea.

This is the jointly controlled truce village in the [[DMZ (Korea)|Korean Demilitarized Zone]] (DMZ) dividing the two Koreas. It has regular one-day bus tours from Seoul. Restrictions apply to specific nationalities. Group bus tours to [[Kaesong]] and [[Kumgangsan]] in North Korea from the South are no longer available. ===By plane=== All international flights go through Pyongyang's '''Sunan International Airport''' ({{IATA|FNJ}}). No other North Korean airport handles international flights. Only two commercial airlines fly to Sunan: Air Koryo, the national North Korean airline, and Air China. As of August 2013 neither Aeroflot nor China Southern Airlines fly to North Korea. ====Air Koryo==== [[File:Air Koryo TU-204 Pyongyang (10043349944).jpg|thumb|One of Air Koryo's Tupolev Tu-204 at Pyongyang's Airport]] North Korea's sole airline, '''[http://www.airkoryo.com.kp Air Koryo]''', has scheduled flights from Beijing, which depart at 11:30 every Tuesday and Saturday, and return from Pyongyang at 09:00 on the same days. Air Koryo also flies to and from [[Shenyang]] every Wednesday and Saturday, and to [[Vladivostok]] every Tuesday morning. They also fly to [[Macau]]. Air Koryo was the only 1-star (worst) airline on Skytrax's list, a distinction it held for many years. It had been banned in the EU due to concerns over safety. Although Air Koryo last experienced a fatal accident back in 1983, the airline only operates a handful of flights with its fleet of 10 aircraft. The main reason for flying Air Koryo is the experience: otherwise, it's probably better to fly Air China. The Air Koryo fleet consists entirely of Soviet or Russian-made aircraft, with the pride of their fleet being two Tupolev Tu-204s, which now usually handle the core Beijing–Pyongyang route as well as the Pyongyang-Shenyang route. Otherwise, you'll most likely end up on one of their Ilyushin IL-62-Ms (1979-1988 vintage), Tupolev Tu-154s or Tupolev Tu-134s. ====Air China==== '''[http://www.airchina.com/ Air China]''', a member of the Star Alliance, flies three times weekly from Beijing to Pyongyang using Boeing 737s. Air China is preferred by most to Air Koryo due to its far more modern fleet. ===By train=== Train K27/K28 connects Pyongyang to Beijing in China via [[Tianjin]], [[Tangshan]], Beidaihe, [[Shanhaiguan]], [[Jinzhou]], Shenyang, [[Benxi]], Fenghuangcheng, [[Dandong]] and [[Sinuiju]] four times a week. There is only one class on the international train between Beijing and Pyongyang: soft sleeper. It can be booked at the station in Beijing, but reservations must be made several days in advance. Your tour agency will usually do this for you, unless you are travelling on work purposes. It has been increasingly difficult to book space on the Beijing–Pyongyang route, so confirm your tickets well in advance. Once a week train K27/K28 also conveys direct sleeping cars from [[Moscow]] via China to [[Pyongyang]] and vice versa. The route is [[Moscow]] - [[Novosibirsk]] - [[Irkutsk]] - [[Chita]] - [[Harbin]] - [[Shenyang]] - [[Dandong]] - [[Shinuiju]] - [[Pyongyang]]. Departure from Moscow is every Friday evening, arrival at Pyongyang is one week later on Friday evening. Departure from Pyongyang is Saturday morning, arrival in Moscow is Friday afternoon. Some agents (eg Lupine Travel) prefer to cross the border from Dandong in China to Sinuiju by minibus and then board a domestic North Korean train to Pyongyang. Usually you will be seated in a hard seat carriage with KPA soldiers and party workers travelling with their families. There is access to a restaurant car which stocks imported beers (Heineken) and soft drinks as well as some local beers and spirits. This train supposedly takes only 4 hours to Pyongyang but has been known to take 14. If travelling in winter be prepared for temperatures inside the carriages as low as -10°C. There is also a direct rail link from Russia into North Korea. This route is the ''Rossiya'' Trans-Siberian train between Moscow and Vladivostock, with the Korea coaches detached at Ussuriysk. From there it's six hours to the border at Tumangan, with a five hour wait, then a 24-hour haul to Pyongyang. It runs weekly, but as a through-train only twice monthly (11th and 25th from Moscow), arriving Pyongyang 9 days later. This route used to be closed to westerners, but as of 2018 it's available, providing you've the correct visa and other paperwork. ===By boat=== There was an unscheduled cargo-passenger ship between Wonsan and [[Niigata]], Japan. Only available for use by some Japanese and North Korean nationals, the boat service has been suspended indefinitely due to North Korea's reported nuclear testing; Japan has banned all North Korean ships from entering Japanese ports, and has banned North Koreans from entering the country. Be careful about getting too close to the North Korean border in a boat; many South Korean fishermen are still waiting to leave North Korea. Besides the unscheduled ferry there is also a cruise ship that operates between the coast of Northeastern China, and Mt Kumgang. Jointly operated by China and North Korea, the cruise line uses a 40-year-old ship. The cruise trip is 22&nbsp;hr long at each leg, and is 44&nbsp;hr long in total but non-Chinese citizens are not permitted on the cruise to Mount Kumgang. ===By bus=== A bus is available from Dandong, China, across the Yalu River to [[Sinuiju]]. It's run by the "Dandong China Travel Company" but is only open to Chinese citizens. The bus drive from Dandong over the Sino-Korea Friendship Bridge (the same bridge over the Yalu river that the trains take). ==Get around== [[File:Hero Youth Highway in DPRK.jpg|thumb|A typical highway scene in North Korea. Tidy strands of trees with a large and empty road in between]] All your transport needs will be dealt with by your tour company. Most of the time this means buses, although tour groups visiting remote sites (e.g. [[Paekdusan]], Mount Chilbo) occasionally use chartered flights by Air Koryo. Wandering around on your own is not allowed, and you are required to have a guide to escort you at all times. A carefully stage-managed one-station ride on the Pyongyang metro is included on the itinerary of most trips to Pyongyang, but use of any other form of local public transport is generally impossible. Some tours also include a train ride from Pyongyang to the border city of Sinuiju, in which you can stop over in Sinuiju for a 1-day tour, though this option is not available to US citizens. If travelling in a small enough group it is also possible to organise a walk through some areas of Pyongyang with some travel agents (Koryo). ==Talk== [[Image:Sign Hangul.JPG|thumb|240px|Handwritten ''hangul'' in an advertisement]] {{seealso|Korean phrasebook}} The official language is '''[[Korean phrasebook|Korean]]'''. North Koreans are quite picky about referring to Korean as '''''chosŏn-mal''''' (조선말), not ''hangugeo''. The language is rather drastically different from any Western language in its grammar, and pronunciation is rather difficult for the English speaker to get right (though not tonal). It has various dialects; standard North Korean (문화어 ''munhwaŏ'') is ostensibly based on the Pyong'an dialect spoken in Pyongyang, but in reality is still deeply rooted in the [[Seoul]] dialect which was the standard before Korea was split. {{infobox|Differences between North and South Korean|Despite 60 years of separation, the Korean language in both North Korea and South Korea is fundamentally the same. The main differences are around the large amount of English nouns that South Korean has borrowed, whereas North Korean uses indigenous or Russian derived words instead. Descriptions of political and social structures are also completely different as a direct result of the different ideological directions of both countries; the most significant example is that words referring to the ruling Kim family are always '''bolded''' in North Korea.}} The Korean writing system is deceptively simple. Although it looks at first glance to be as complex as Chinese or Japanese, it is a unique and simple alphabetic writing system called '''''chosŏn'gŭl''''' by North Koreans, and hangul (한글 ''hangeul'') by the rest of the world, where letters are stacked up into blocks that represent syllables. It was designed by a committee and looks like simple lines, boxes and little circles, but it is remarkably consistent, logical and quick to pick up. A document from 1446 describing hangul said that '''"A wise man can acquaint himself with them before the morning is over; a stupid man can learn them in the space of ten days."''' Essentially all sources for learning Korean abroad will teach South Korean, which does have slightly different usage: some letters have different names, the sorting order is different, and there are some minor differences in pronunciation and spelling. Unlike South Korea, North Korea has abolished Chinese ''hanja'' characters and uses hangul characters exclusively. North Korea uses its own unique system for romanization of Korean, which is mostly similar to the older McCune–Reischauer system. In South Korea and the rest of the world, Revised Romanization is more common. Most guides will speak fairly decent '''English''' (some better than others) and will translate for you. Some guides can also speak Mandarin, German, Russian, Japanese and Spanish. There is no law preventing citizens of the DPRK from interacting with tourists, although locals are often discouraged from speaking with foreigners and language can prove to be an additional barrier. A visit to the DPRK around their holidays may give you more of a chance to interact with the locals. North Korea has its own sign language, which is not mutually intelligible with Korean Sign Language as used in South Korea; it's unclear if it's related to any other sign languages, or how widespread it is. ==See== [[File:Arirang Mass Games 2013 (10161718564).jpg|thumb|A revolutionary scene from the Arirang Mass Games]] All tours are accompanied by a government minder, who will decide what you can and cannot see. From the moment you leave your hotel, expect to be accompanied by one or more minders. Besides ensuring that tourists do not stray outside of the designated tourist areas, their jobs include inspecting any photographs which they think do not portray North Korea or its government in a good light, and ordering photographers to delete them. It is generally advisable to listen to what your minder is saying, and agree with it. Asking awkward socio-political questions will result in vague, evasive replies at best, and several hours of interrogation at worst. It is always recommended that if you are uncertain about taking pictures anywhere, ask your guide, though allowances seem to vary wildly. You may get a guide that is relatively relaxed and will allow you to take pictures from a bus or within a city. On the other hand, you may get one that will strictly adhere to controlling where you take pictures restricting anything taken from a tour bus or of certain areas, like Pyongyang's city streets, in general. There is simply no way to tell until you are actually on a tour. If you think a particular photograph might be embarrassing to the DPRK in general, ask or simply don't risk taking it at all. Photography of military personnel is also generally prohibited. Again, if in doubt, ask your guide. However, there are instances where it is impossible not to photograph certain sites without including a few military personnel within the picture such as at Mansudae (the monument site for the statues of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il) or at a local funfair. Reactions seem to vary between being ignored to curiosity, although you will be told where taking pictures is strictly prohibited (such as at certain areas of the DMZ), and the guards/soldiers there will react unfavourably to being photographed in general. Other areas where photographs are prohibited include the interior of the Friendship Exhibition, which displays gifts from around the world to Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, and within the Kumsusan Memorial Palace. If you leave the country via train (to [[Beijing]]) your camera will likely be checked for unfavorable photos by the guards. The majority of sightseeing consists of visits to various war memorials, monuments to the Great Leader and the Workers Party of Korea, and numerous museums (mostly war-related, like the statues and monuments). The Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a popular destination for most tour groups in North Korea. Whilst you are in North Korea, the prevailing viewpoint places blame on the Americans for starting the Korean War; disagreeing with this position is likely to cause problems for both you and your guide, particularly as the two Koreas are still legally at war with only a cease-fire between them. Despite its misleading name, the DMZ is heavily guarded and dotted with minefields and other booby-traps. Under no circumstances should you stray from your group, or take any photographs of military installations. However, the "peace village" [[Panmunjom]] may be photographed, and boasts the world's third tallest flagpole. Whilst on these guided tours, especially to the state museums and monuments, you will undoubtedly endure an ongoing barrage of propaganda, consisting largely of anecdotes about things that Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il did for their country. Some of these claims may seem bizarre and even amusing to the outsider; however, a straight face is generally advisable. It is generally safest to at least appear to take everything they say seriously, even if it contradicts everything you were ever taught in history class or defies even the most basic human reasoning. ===Sights=== [[File:Landscape with Mountains in North Korea.JPG|thumb|Mountainous landscapes near Kaesong]] So, with all this practical information being said, what are the places to go? A good part of the important attractions you'll be shown are in '''[[Pyongyang]]'''. There's the large '''Kim Il-sung Square''', where the famously grand military parades take place. Even without the parades, though, it's an impressive square, and on it is the '''Grand People’s Study House'''. This gigantic library and learning centre is home to over 30 million books and a modern system of conveyor belts to get you the one you need. Also on the square are two museums, of which — the '''Korean National Art Gallery''' — is the more interesting one. The other great landmark of the nation's capital is its '''Triumphal Arch'''. Slightly bigger than its Parisian counterpart, it is in fact the largest arch of its kind in the world. Another landmark you'll be proudly shown are the large bronze '''statues of the Great Leader and Kim Jong-il'''. Respectfully join the locals in their serious undertakings to honour the statues, which are a key element of the devotion cult around the national leaders. For a better chance of some casual conversations with locals, try the pleasant Pyongyang '''zoo'''. Take a daytrip to the birthplace of the Great Leader in Mangyongdae and of course, visit the '''Kumsusan Palace of the Sun''' where both the previous Kim's embalmed bodies are on display. No trip to North Korea is complete without an extensive glance at the uneasy and heavily fortified border stand-off at '''[[Panmunjeom]]''', or the Joint Security Area. Not far from here is the town of '''[[Kaesong]]''', with a lovely old town and the [[UNESCO]]-listed '''tomb of King Kongmin'''. For stunning natural sights, try reaching '''[[Kumgangsan]]''', or the ''Diamond Mountains'', where you'll find beautiful vistas, waterfalls, lakes and ancient '''Buddhist temples'''. ==Do== [[File:Statues at the Tomb of King Wanggon (10104313105).jpg|thumb|Statues at the tomb of King Wanggon, the founder of the Goryeo Dynasty, in [[Kaesong]]]] As mentioned above, there is very little to do beyond the watchful eye of your designated minders, with most recreational activity taking place within the confines of the tourist resorts. Bowling and karaoke are among the latest additions to its surprising plethora of recreational activities. The karaoke videos are often accompanied by dramatic historical footage of the Korean War, or goose-stepping People's Army soldiers. North Korea has three amusement parks, two of which are abandoned due to mutual lack of interest and electricity. The Kaeson Youth Fair has now closed, taking the infamous "Roller Coaster of Death" along with it. Still visible are the shooting-galleries with backdrops of snarling American and Japanese soldiers; however, it is unlikely that your guide will let you venture into any abandoned areas. The one remaining amusement park contains some rides which are actually quite modern and non-lethal, at least by North Korean standards, and is about as worthy of a visit as everything else you'll see whilst in North Korea. The nightlife in [[Pyongyang]] is remarkably safe and non-violent, compared to the capitals of other nations (except maybe [[Reykjavík]] in [[Iceland]]); in general, the civilians are not a threat. The plain-clothes secret police, however, may or may not be a threat, depending on what you say or do. The North Korean definition of popular music is at least two decades behind the rest of the world; expect an onslaught of 1980s hits from the West (some obviously are unauthorized copies, to judge by the quality), punctuated by the eerie caterwauling of Korean folk songs, and at least try to look enthusiastic about the whole scene. You will not find newspapers or magazines from outside North Korea (since media from outside the country is generally banned for ordinary North Koreans). Foreign broadcasts are jammed and the only radio and television allowed is government propaganda, although several international news outlets (including BBC World News and NHK World) are available in tourist hotels. Fortunately, alcohol is cheap and plentiful, although it is not advisable to become intoxicated and make a scene of oneself. Furthermore, both the trafficking and consumption of narcotics are punished ''very'' severely by authorities; traffickers can expect to face the death penalty if caught. Finally, power cuts may hit without warning in the middle of any activity. Whilst you might welcome this if the jukebox is starting to get to you, this is not a desirable outcome if you are in the middle of an amusement-park ride, particularly as these blackouts can last for hours at a time. The '''Masikryong ski resort,''' North Korea's only ski resort, opened in winter 2013. Located near the western city of Wonsan, a visit to the resort may be included as part of a wider DPRK tour. ==Buy== ===Money=== {{infobox|Currency in North Korea|Most short-term tourists in North Korea will not encounter the local currency at all, as the restaurants and souvenir shops geared towards tourists will deal exclusively in hard currency — U.S. dollars, euros, or Chinese yuan. Prices in these stores are listed roughly in U.S. cents. Vendors will rarely have change available, and having small bills to make change yourself will be very helpful in not being over-charged for purchases. Longer term visitors to Pyongyang should consider getting a debit card (labeled 전자결제카드, ''jeonjagyeoljekadeu'') to make getting change easier. These can usually be bought at the Pyongyang store in the diplomatic compound for US$5, and can be used and recharged at most foreigner-targeted stores around the city. Markets, road-side stands, and stores targeting locals will deal in North Korean won. There are several booths around the city which are able to convert foreign currency into won. The largest note is ₩5000, roughly the cost of a Coke. The smallest is ₩5, which is used for the metro. Notes under ₩500 are generally not used. If you want smaller notes, ask to convert 1 or 5 Chinese yuan at a currency exchange booth. You may get a strange look, but likely will be given some of the harder to find ₩5 and ₩10 notes.}} The currency is the North Korean '''won''', denoted by the symbol '''₩''' (ISO code: '''KPW''') and not typically available to foreigners, except some old North Korean won sold for souvenir. Black market exchange rates (especially in far northern Korea, near the Chinese border) may easily be 20 times the official rate, but importing or exporting Korean won is strictly forbidden. North Korean won is practically worthless outside the country but can make unique souvenirs. Foreigners are expected to use euros or as an alternative Chinese renminbi, US dollars or Japanese yen. Currency handling is often bizarre, with a frequent lack of change and a number of rule-of-thumb conversions leading to highly unorthodox transactions, so be sure to bring lots of small change. On a typical tour most expenses such as hotel, transportation, and meals will have been paid in advance, and therefore your only expenses may be bottled water, souvenirs, snacks, drinks at the bars, laundry at the hotel and tips for your guides. In any case, the only shops you will be likely allowed to visit are the state-run souvenir shops at your hotel and at the various tourist attractions. It is generally not possible to visit a real local shop which serves the local population, though you might get lucky asking your guide if he/she trusts you enough. Some tours include a visit to a department store. ===Souvenirs=== [[File:Pyongyang store3.JPG|thumb|A special store for foreigners in Pyongyang, with most merchandise imported from China]] {{cautionbox|Planning to enter [[South Korea]] after your visit to North Korea? The South has very strict laws, including the National Security Act, on the import and possession of North Korean propaganda. Do not attempt to bring anything into South Korea that could be construed as North Korean propaganda, including images of North Korean leaders such as stamps or postcards. North Korean biographies and books are also illegal.}} There are numerous hard-currency only souvenir shops at tourist sites. Interesting souvenirs include propaganda books and videos, postcards and postage stamps. At some tourist sites (such as King Kongmin's tomb), you can purchase freshly finished paintings with your name and the artist's name at the bottom. You can buy [[postal service|postcards]] and send them to people in any country except South Korea which apparently will not deliver them. Some excellent paintings on silk or linen have been available in Kaesong directly from the artist. Haggling for better prices is not permitted but the prices are very low. ===Costs=== Most costs are included as part of your tour. Most sights have a shop associated with them where you can buy bottled water, souvenirs and snacks. These are reasonably priced. In September 2017, large bottles of local beer cost US$2 at the hotel bars in Pyongyang. €200 for one week should be enough to cover your costs of water, drinks at the bars, souvenirs and tips for the guides. ==Eat== [[File:Hibachi restaurant at Haedanghwa Health Complex - North Korea (10392326233).jpg|thumb|The ''Hibachi'' restaurant in the Haedanghwa Health Complex in Pyongyang]] {{see also|Korean cuisine}} As with most other aspects of visiting North Korea, catering is usually organized in advance as part of your tour. Vegetarians and people with food allergies or dislikes of common foods such as seafood or eggs will need to make arrangements in advance. A visit to a "real" local restaurant may be possible; enquire with your guide. Shortages of supplies, combined with the typical use of Korean cooking styles, mean that there is a relatively limited variety of food — and this can get wearying on tours of more than a few days. There are a few Western food options now in Pyongyang and these restaurants can usually be visited if arranged with the guides in advance. They will usually require additional payment though, unless you have discussed this already with your tour operator, as the costs are not included in the ''per diem'' fee charged by the Korean Travel Company. There are two Italian restaurants (one on Kwangbok Street which is near the Korean circus where the pizza is great, and they have imported a pizza oven and all the ingredients so the quality is very high; and one near the USS ''Pueblo'') and two burger restaurants (the more accessible is in the Youth Hotel). Both are inexpensive and do inject some flavor onto a generally lackluster eating scene, especially on long tours. Visit the Vienna coffee house, which is on the river side of Kim Jong Il square, for a good coffee similar to those common in Europe. ==Drink== The local speciality is '''''insam-ju''''', Korean vodka infused with ginseng roots. Locally made Taedonggang beer is very good. The brewery was purchased from Ushers in the UK and physically moved to Pyongyang, and some of the ''soju'' are not bad either. Local alcohol is inexpensive; a 650&nbsp;ml bottle of beer is €0.50. Imported beers, such as Heineken, are also available at similar prices. However do not get drunk and cause trouble. Toe the line and show respect, or you and your guide will face serious penalties. It is advisable to stick to bottled water for drinking as the tap water is not always properly treated. [[Image:Ryugyong Hotel - August 27, 2011 (Cropped).jpg|thumb|The still unfinished Ryugyong Hotel in [[Pyongyang|P'y&#335;ngyang]]]] ==Sleep== This is likely to be your principal expense while in North Korea. You may only stay at "designated tourist hotels", for which you will need to pay in hard currency. There may be discounts if you ask for lower class accommodation, if you are travelling as part of a group, or if it is low season (November – March). Costs for your tour, which will include accommodation, all sightseeing activities and meals, will range from US$70 to US$200 a day, depending on these factors. Usually you pay for all your meals, hotel and Beijing–Pyongyang journey to your tour operator before you leave. One week in high season at a four-star hotel will then cost something between €1,300 and €1,600, depending on your tour operator, but might get as low as €800 for one week. ==Learn== [[File:North Korea-Pyongyang-Kim Il-sung University-01.jpg|thumbnail|Kim Il Sung University]] It can be difficult for foreigners to become students in North Korea, although university exchange programmes may be possible. The [http://www.pyongyangproject.org/ Pyongyang Project] arranges tours of North Korea with an academic focus, with the aim of participants learning about the country rather than just sightseeing. [http://www.ybu.edu.cn/ Yanbian University], in the [[Yanbian]] Korean Autonomous Prefecture in north eastern [[China]] is closely affiliated with other universities in North Korea and can offer relevant courses for learning about North Korea. ==Work== If you are interested in teaching in North Korea, you may find success by contacting the North Korean UN Mission in New York, or contacting a North Korean university directly. Your odds of success are, however, quite low: there is only a small team of 4 English Language Instructors dealing with teaching and teacher training, with a Project Manager leading the team of three, placed in Kim Il Sung University, Pyongyang University of Foreign Studies and Kim Hyung Jik University of Education. There is an opportunity to teach in [http://www.the-psi.org/ the Pyongyang Summer Institute] during summer time when it is opened to foreigners. It's voluntary, unpaid work, though. ==Stay safe== {{warningbox|'''Do not''' criticise or show any kind of disrespect to the '''Kim dynasty''', the '''North Korean government''', '''North Korean citizens''', the '''Juche ideology''', the '''Songun (military first) policy''', or the '''country in general'''. Simply avoid these topics if you can, even if you're in a room with no North Koreans present (the government has been known to plant recording devices). Anyone you speak to is likely to be affiliated with the North Korean government, and you should always respond accordingly should sensitive topics arise. You and your guide could potentially face serious trouble if you answer incorrectly, although your guide will probably bear the worst of it. North Korea is known for extremely harsh punishments which range from lengthy prison sentences to a lifetime of severe mistreatment and torture.|lastedit=}} Crime levels are practically zero, at least to tourists on a strictly controlled tour. However, pickpockets are the least of your worries. North Korea is an '''authoritarian dictatorship''' and is generally considered to have the '''worst human rights record in the world'''. The authorities are very touchy, and you need to watch what you say and how you say it. Just do what the guides do, praise every stop on your tour, and remember the rule, "If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all." The official policy is that '''you are not to wander around on your own'''. You are expected to get permission and/or have a guide accompany you if you are leaving your hotel on your own. This will vary depending on what hotel you are in. The Yanggakdo Hotel is on an island in the middle of the Taedong River in Pyongyang. Therefore you can walk around the area a little more freely than if you are at the Koryo Hotel right in the centre of town. You should always be friendly and courteous to your guides and driver who will normally reciprocate by trusting you more and giving you more freedom. When taking '''photographs''', exercise restraint, caution and common sense. If you appear to be looking for negative images of North Korea, the guides will not be happy and will tell you to delete any questionable images. In particular, you are not to take photos of anything military, including personnel, or anything showing the DPRK in a bad light. Your photographic freedom can largely depend on the type of guides that you are assigned and the rapport that you have with them. In a best case scenario, you can often take pictures without feeling as if you're trying to sneak them by anyone and without pressure capturing some truly unique images. If you are in an area that prohibits picture taking, you will also be informed of this and it is best to simply follow your guide's direction. When in doubt, always ask. Your guide might even want to try out your camera and take a picture of you for your collection. In a worst-case scenario, you can be expected to raise your camera at a reasonable speed, compose and take the picture, and lower the camera at a reasonable speed. Don't try to take pictures of anything that you have been told not to, such as military personnel or certain locales. This may call attention to yourself and the image you are trying to take and can result, whether justified or not, in your being told to delete the image. Digital cameras are commonly inspected when leaving the country by train. A simple workaround is to leave a memory card with innocuous snaps in the camera and file away any cards with ideologically dubious content. '''Visitors of Korean descent should never reveal this fact.''' North Koreans have a very strong sense of ethnic belonging and this will inevitably draw unwanted attention to you. Furthermore, if you run into trouble then holding a foreign passport will not count for much if you are considered a Korean by the authorities. Visitors have also been targeted for '''political''' reasons; in 2013, an 85-year-old American citizen was arrested, briefly incarcerated and expelled by the DPRK because of his military service during the Korean War. '''Drug trafficking''' and the consumption of '''narcotics''' can be '''punishable by death''' in North Korea. '''Marijuana''', however, is legal and often found growing freely alongside the road in North Korea. It is strongly recommended that you '''avoid bringing religious texts or performing any religious activity'''. In 2012, [[w:Kenneth Bae|Kenneth Bae]], an American Christian missionary, was arrested for his religious activities in North Korea, and was sentenced to 15 years of hard labour (however, he was released nine months later). Another American, [[w:Jeffrey Fowle|Jeffrey Fowle]], was arrested for leaving a Bible at a North Korean nightclub, and spent six months in a North Korean jail. ===Emergency numbers=== * From a fixed-line phone: '''119''' * From a mobile phone: '''112''' For medical emergencies in Pyongyang, dial 02 382-7688 locally. ==Stay healthy== '''[[Drinking water]]''' in North Korea is apparently untreated and there are reports of foreigners being hospitalized in the DPRK after drinking the water; therefore, sticking to bottled water is highly recommended. Medical facilities are clean although very outdated. If you fall ill then you might be better off going to China for medical treatment. Contact your embassy or consulate in North Korea (if your country has one) for assistance. ==Respect== [[File:Mansudae Grand Monument (10104320806).jpg|thumb|The first two generations of the Kim dynasty together]] Despite the sharp political differences, North and South Koreans share a common culture; the various respect tips in the [[South_Korea#Respect|South Korea]] article apply here. === Tour conduct === The best way to stay out of trouble is to obey and respect your guide(s). If a guide asks you to obey the tour rules, '''do it'''. Any time you engage in unbecoming conduct, your guide will be blamed for being unable to control you, and they will be penalised for your misbehaviour. Always think before you act, and think before you speak; your actions can and will be reflected upon others, no matter how big or small, and tourists could face restrictions on what they can do in the country because of your behaviour. Whenever you feel tempted to do something, ask yourself, "How will my actions negatively impact myself and other people?" Make that a rule during your stay and keep that in mind at all times. As aforementioned, if you're not prepared to accept severe limitations on your behaviour and movement, you should not travel to North Korea. North Korea isn't for everyone, even for the most seasoned of travellers. Consider giving small gifts like cigarettes, skin cream, and so on to your guides. This will garner respect from the guides, and depending on how well you conduct yourself, they may even take you places and events in North Korea that they wouldn't normally go to. Although there are many great photo opportunities in North Korea, '''the DPRK has very strict photography laws'''. This largely depends on what guide you've been assigned. If you're in doubt, just ask. There's no harm in asking the guide(s) at all. Never, ever, take photographs of anything of strategic importance (i.e. places with soldiers/policemen, etc.) and/or things you've been told not to photograph. Also, '''don't take photographs of things that can negatively portray North Korea'''. The North Korean authorities take this rule very seriously. === Sensitive issues === It is important to emphasize that the government of the DPRK — in particular the leaders Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il and Kim Jong-un — are, at least publicly, very highly revered in North Korean culture. While slavish devotion is not expected from tourists, '''criticism of the Kim dynasty, the Workers Party of Korea, and/or Juche is unwise'''; it can get you into serious trouble. Similarly, '''don't even think about''' asking a North Korean about what they think about their country's political situation. It is advisable to refer to North Korea as the DPRK instead when discussing it with your guides. DPRK stands for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and is the official name for the country reflecting their belief that the south (not capitalized) is occupied territory. You will also notice this referenced in their literature in the same way (i.e. as "south Korea"). When speaking Korean, South Korea should be referred as "South Chosun" (남조선/南朝鮮) instead of "Hanguk" (한국/韓國). Most, if not all, tour groups to the DPRK are asked to solemnly bow and lay flowers on one or two occasions in front of statues of Kim Il Sung when visiting monuments of national importance. '''If you're not prepared to do this, do not even try to enter North Korea.''' Just be sure you always act in a respectful manner around images of the two leaders. This includes taking respectful photos of any image of them. When photographing statues, especially Mansudae, be sure to get the entire statue in the photo. Formal dress is also expected at important monuments such as Mansudae or in visiting the Kumsusang Memorial Palace. ===Religion=== North Korea is officially atheist. The regime promotes a national philosophy of self-reliance called ''Juche'' (주체) which some would categorize as a political religion that pervades all aspects of life in the country. As a tourist, you will not be expected to observe this, although you must always be respectful towards symbols of ''Juche'' which are often the images of past and present leaders Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il and Kim Jong-un. Other religions such as Christianity and Buddhism are vigorously suppressed in practice with severe punishment being given to followers. You should refrain from any religious discussions during your time in North Korea, and be aware that any form of religious proselytizing is dealt with very seriously by the regime, with foreign missionaries having previously been sentenced to life imprisonment in labor camps. With this in mind, be careful of performing even personal religious rituals or bringing religious items into the country and preferably do not do so at all. ==Connect== ===By phone=== For international calls to North Korea, the country code is '''+850'''. Some phone numbers (mostly faxes) can be called directly from abroad; most other calls will need to go through the international operator service on +850-2-18111. International calling is generally possible via landlines in hotels, though it is expensive (€2 per minute as of Feb 2012) and all calls are likely recorded and monitored. Local calls need elusive 10&nbsp;chon coins when calling from call boxes, but can also be made from hotels and post offices. Additionally, your phone calls may be heavily monitored, so you should be careful of what you talk about in phone calls that you make in North Korea. ====Mobile phones==== As of January 2013, you are allowed to carry a [[Mobile phones|mobile phone]] from outside the country into North Korea. You will not be able to use your current SIM card in North Korea, however. The only network you are allowed to connect to is the local network, Koryolink, via one of their SIM cards. Your phone must be a 3G WCDMA phone which can connect to the 2100MHz 3G frequency band. A 3G mobile phone network (Koryolink) was introduced in Pyongyang in 2008 and now covers the 42 largest cities. It is widely used by locals who can afford it and by long-staying foreigners who file an application. SIM cards and phones can be purchased at the International Communication Center, No.2 Pothonggang-dong in Pothonggang District, opposite the Pyongyang Indoor Stadium, as well as at Pyongyang airport and some hotels. As of 25 Feb 2013, 3G mobile internet via Koryolink is available to foreigners, although pricing is unknown. Bear in mind that these SIM cards will only let you call internationally and to a very small number of internationally-enabled phones in North Korea. There are three plans you can choose from for your SIM card: #Purchase a prepaid SIM card for €50. This gives you the SIM card to keep indefinitely for return visits, and includes a small amount (less than €30) of calling credit. #Rent a prepaid SIM card for two weeks for €50. This includes €30 of calling credit. #Rent a prepaid SIM card for one month for €75. This includes €55 of calling credit. Calling rates are as follows: *China and South-East Asia: €1.43 per minute. *Russia: €0.68 per minute. *France and Switzerland: €0.38 per minute. *U.K. and Germany: €1.58 per minute. ===By Internet=== Internet facilities are limited to a very few North Koreans with appropriate privileges to use it. For foreigners, most of the larger hotels have Internet access available, but this needs to be applied for some days in advance. Advise your tour operator or inviting party of your requirements well ahead of time so that access permission can be arranged. There are no public internet cafés or business centres with web access in the hotels. Mobile internet is available via Koryolink's 3G network (see above) using a local SIM card, but details about this are scarce. Also, even if you have Internet access, your traffic will probably be monitored. There is very little Internet connectivity in North Korea; the little that exists is routed through mainland China and risks heavy censorship by that country's Golden Shield Project, the "[[China#Internet censorship|Great Firewall of China]]". ==Cope== There is a growing diplomatic presence of [[Pyongyang#Embassies|foreign embassies in Pyongyang]]. Find out beforehand which country can assist you in case of an emergency, such as a medical condition or a police incident. Sweden serves as the protecting power for American, Australian, and Canadian travellers in North Korea, so these visitors may be able to obtain limited consular services from the Swedish embassy in Pyongyang. American nationals are not allowed by the U.S. Department of State to visit North Korea, although if you must then it is still recommended to notify (by email) the Swedish embassy of your visit to North Korea, as well as to inform the U.S. embassy in Beijing, China, particularly if your trip to North Korea entails passing through China. The British embassy offers consular services to Commonwealth citizens who do not have representation through other countries, except for Singaporeans and Tanzanians, whose governments have opted out of this arrangement. {{isPartOf|East Asia}} {{usablecountry}} {{geo|40.4|127|zoom=7}} b8q2bdvcx6ictho5zej64sali81ogoe 0 25468 4495951 4437366 2022-08-06T04:38:35Z Veracious 1298114 /* See */ convert listing type wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Mena-asia_default_banner.jpg}} '''Nunukan''' is a busy town on an island of the same name in [[East Kalimantan]], bordering [[Tawau]] in [[Sabah]], [[Malaysia]].

Both the Taiwan and Chinese governments agree that it forms one of the counties of Taiwan (while disagreeing on whether Taiwan as a whole is a separate country from Mainland China). As a strategic location gateway to the main island of Taiwan, it has historically been the site of various battles, and is still today home to several military bases. Tourism is mostly oriented around coastal scenery, seafood, beaches, and watersports. ==Understand== [[File:Penghu administration.svg|thumb|346x346px|Penghu administration]] The Penghu (pronounced "pung hoo") is an archipelago, not a single island. The sea around Penghu is a saturated turquoise and the sand coral, so pack beach footwear if you have it (some beaches though have very soft sand). Formed by ancient volcanic activity, the low-lying islands are famous in Taiwan for their volcanic basalt stone, which forms spectacular columns at many sites along the coast. The wind-scoured landscape is drier than most of Taiwan, with limited farmable land and lots of agave plants and prickly-pear cactuses. Hardy evergreen trees have been planted in many places as windbreaks. Located to the west of the main island of Taiwan, is composed of 90 islets; most are uninhabited. There are 7 administrative districts, 1 city and 6 townships. The city is Magong (馬公) and the townships are Huxi (湖西), Baisha (白沙), Xiyu (西嶼), Qimei (七美), Wang'an (望安). Magong City, Huxi, Baishia and Xiyu are on Penghu's main islands; Qimei and Wang'an both are isolated islets in the southern sea. ===Weather=== As a rule of thumb, the summer months (April to September) are very hot and humid, usually over 30 degrees, and constitute the high season. The winter months (October to February) are very windy. March and April might be the best reason to visit. The island is much more quiet in winter time (low season), but often at the price of an extremely heavy wind. When the winds come, boats to other islands such as Qi-Mei are often cancelled. === History === Recorded history of Penghu dates back earlier than that of the main island of Taiwan. According to the documents, some '''Han Chinese''' from Southeastern '''[[Fujian]] (福建)''' sailed to Penghu and established the fishing communities in Song Dynasty (around 9th or 10th century). During the age of '''[[Mongol Empire]] (蒙古帝國)''', based on more and more people gathering, the ruler began to set an official military unit (巡檢司) in Penghu, Penghu formally became an area of Fujian Province in Mongol Empire. The next Empire Ming (Ming Dynasty, 1368-1624) ruled Penghu by convention. In the middle of Ming Dynasty, around the 15th Century, the South China Sea became the stage of International commerce among Chinese pirates, Japanese Ronin and European naval fleets. Penghu and Formosa also got involved in the keen competitions. According to the European documents, Penghu was called '''Pescadores''' then, meaning "The Island of Fisherman" in Portuguese. [[File:澎湖天后宮｜沈有容諭退紅毛番.jpg|thumb|"Shang Zhouzuo expelled Wijbrant and his people"]] 1604, also the age of Discovery, Europeans had many conflicts in Asian area. The '''VOC''' (Dutch East India Company/Vereenigde Oostindische Compagie) planned to establish a trading point nearby China/Ming Empire. The Dutch tried to occupy [[Macau]], but were defeated by the Portuguese. The VOC commander '''Wijbrand van Warwijck (韋麻郎)''' withdrew to Pescadores for settling down then sent a messenger to the Ming Empire to ask for permission to trade, but their request was refused. Moreover, the Ming Empire sent General '''Shang Zhouzuo''' (沈有容, 1557-1628) to expel the VOC fleets from Pescadores. This event was recorded in a '''stone tablet''' : 「沈有容諭退紅毛番韋麻郎等」 (It means "Shang Zhouzuo expelled Wijbrant and his people"); you still can see the stone tablet at '''Tian-hou Temple (天后宮)''' in the present Magong City. Another story happened in 1622. That moment, there were many conflicts on Southeastern Sea of Asia for commercial reasons within Europeans. So they would envy Portugal took Macau of China successfully. Coen, the officer of VOC, he heard another competitor Spanish would take over Formosa soon, so he gave '''Cornelis Reijersen''' an order : trying to establish a trading point in Pescadores or Formosa if he couldn't take Macau by Force. After lost the battle of Macau, Reijersen turned to stay in Penghu/Pescadores and began to build a fort in the present Fengguei/Fengkuei (風櫃), Magong City. Now the place is a famous scenic spot- '''Snake Head Hill (蛇頭山)'''. 2 years later (1624), Ming Empire changed a chief administrator of Fujian Province (named 南居益). He thought Penghu belonged to Ming Empire, he didn't allow the foreigner to occupy their territory, so Ming Empire expelled the Dutch fleets from Penghu by force again. Experienced 8 months surrounding war in '''Fort Fengguei''', Reijersen reached agreement with Ming Empire, he was allowed to exploit​ '''Formosa''' (Still no man's land in 17th) but had to destroy their Fort Fengguei in Penghu. Therefore, all the building materials in there were moved to Formosa for building '''Fort Zeelandia (安平古堡).''' ==Regions== {{Mapframe|group=map1|name=Map of Penghu}} {{Mapshape|type=geoshape|wikidata=Q709939,Q701428|group=map1|fill={{StdColor|T1}}|title=Main Island}} {{Mapshape|type=geoshape|wikidata=Q712753,Q709034|group=map1|fill={{StdColor|T2}}|title=North Penghu}} {{Mapshape|type=geoshape|wikidata=Q706727,Q706494|group=map1|fill={{StdColor|T3}}|title=South Penghu}} {{Regionlist | regionmap = | regionmapsize = | regionmaptext = | region1name=North Penghu | region1color={{StdColor|T2}} | region1items=Baisha, Xiyu | region1description=The largest of the northern islands of Penghu are connected to the main island by bridges, while the smaller ones, known locally as the "North Sea" area, are only accessible by boat. | region2name=Main island | region2color={{StdColor|T1}} | region2items=Magong City, Huxi, | region2description=Penghu’s main island includes the administrative divisions of Magong City and Huxi. | region3name=South Penghu ("South Sea" area) | region3color={{StdColor|T3}} | region3items=Wang'an, Qi-mei | region3description=The smaller islands to the south of the main island group which feature many natural scenic attractions. }} ===Cities=== * {{listing | name=[[Magong]] | alt=馬公市 | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Magong | wikidata=Q701428 | lastedit=2020-04-17 | content=Penghu's capital (formerly spelled "Makung"). }} ===Islands=== * {{listing | name=[[Baisha]] | alt=白沙鄉 | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata=Q712753 | lastedit=2020-04-17 | content=It is located to the north of Penghu Main Island and linked to Xiyu Island by the Penghu Trans-Oceanic Bridge. }} * {{listing | name=[[Huxi]] | alt=湖西鄉 | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata=Q709939 | lastedit=2020-04-17 | content=It is located on the western part of the Penghu Main Island and is the largest township in Penghu County. }} * {{listing | name=[[Jibei]] | alt=吉貝嶼 | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Jibei Island | wikidata=Q6192029 | lastedit=2020-04-17 | content=Small northern island known for watersports.

The island is walkable if you have a lot of time and energy, but most people rent a scooter.

These courtyard houses are believed to be some of the oldest (possibly even the oldest) such ruins in Taiwan. These houses are now overgrown with trees. Hopefully someone will soon recognise their local, national and international architectural, cultural and historical significance and begin restoring them as they would then be an even better tourist attraction particularly as Tea Houses and B & Bs. It is best to rent a motorbike from nearby the Wangan Island ferry terminal which in high Summer should cost between NT$350 and NT$400, but this price is very likely to be cheaper at other times of the year when discounts are likely to be offered. }} * {{listing | name=[[Xiyu]] | alt=西嶼鄉 | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata=Q709034 | lastedit=2020-04-17 | content=The major scenic spots include some forts, a lighthouse, coastal villages, and beaches.

Just turn left on the road outside the airport and walk down the road for 5 minutes. Aimen Village is walking distance to beautiful Aimen Beach. Just turn right and walk down the little lane as you enter Aimen Village. This lane is easy to locate as it is signposted and is also lined with coral fences. There are a few B & Bs in Aimen Village which are an easy walk to the beach. Xiyu Island also has several villages such as Erkan Village that are not only worth visiting but also a good place to stay if you are looking for an island get-a-way holiday. There are hundreds of B & Bs scattered across Penghu both in the Magong city area and dotted across all the inhabited islands of the archipelago. * {{marker|type=vicinity|name=[[South Penghu Marine National Park]]|wikidata=Q15941118}} – one of two marine national parks in Taiwan, best known for its charming Blue Cave. You'll need to join a boat tour or hire a charter to get here. ==Talk== The common languages are '''[[Chinese phrasebook|Mandarin Chinese]]''' and the Penghu accent of '''[[Minnan phrasebook|Taiwanese]]'''. It is not rare to find people, especially young people, who also speak English and Japanese, but you are definitely best off being prepared to speak some Mandarin or Taiwanese in Penghu. ==Get in== Penghu's main islands are accessible by boat or plane from [[Taiwan]] main island, and also by plane from the [[Kinmen]] island (just off the coast from [[Xiamen]], China). ===By plane=== The main entry point of Penghu is the domestic Magong airport which is located in the middle of the main island, which is not walking distance to Magong city as it is a 20-minute drive from the city of Magong. Magong Airport, Penghu from at least 6 domestic Taiwanese airports including [[Taipei]] (Songshan), [[Taichung]], [[Jiayi]], [[Tainan]], [[Kaohsiung]] and [[Kinmen|Jinmen Island]]. Uni Air and Mandarin Airlines each provide frequent and convenient flights to Penghu. Both have English booking websites. A few regional international flights are expected to commence in the next few years. Magong Airport is clean and modern, with cafés and free Wi-Fi. However, very few electric or USB appliances are available in the terminal. A taxi ride from the airport to the city of Magong should not cost more than NT$300. However, if you are able to telephone and book a taxi ahead of your arrival in Mandarin Chinese the cost drops down to $20). Some taxi numbers: 0937713723; 0931873045. Taxi drivers do not speak English. Also, taxis do not use meters in Penghu, so make sure to ask the cost to your destination before you set off. Many Penghu B & Bs and Hotels offer (often free) pick-up and drop-off to and from Magong Airport and the Harbour Ferry Terminal. There are also some flights from Taiwan directly to Qimei Island in southern Penghu (a very small island, with public ferries to other parts of Penghu only once a day - only fly here if you've booked accomodations on the island or have planned the boat schedule very carefully). ===By ferry=== There is ferry all year round from Kaohsiung which takes 5 hours and 5 minutes, and arrives at a downtown Magong pier from where you can easily walk along the main street and around the downtown area. However, it is much more frequent in summer than in winter; also expect cancellations due to typhoons (summer) or strong wind (winter). From Kaohsiung to Magong costs NT$860-1700 one way in Summer 2011 (see full details [http://www.tnc-kao.com.tw/Shipdate_2.aspx online]). Magong to Kaohsiung is slightly cheaper costing from $819-1619. This service may not be available every day and sailing times are subject to change according to the season. There may sometimes also be a ferry directly from Kaohsiung to Qimei Island in southern Penghu. A smaller ferry sails between Magong Harbour and Putai (Budai) in Taiwan's Chiayi county, only in summer (until mid-October). This journey takes about 90 minutes. The main disadvantage is the Budai terminal is difficult to access by public transportation from other parts of Taiwan. ==Get around== Distances are generally too far to walk, unless you plan to stay in a certain area the whole time. Only those who hold either a current Taiwanese driving license or a current IDP (International Driving Permit - Taiwan is listed inside the front cover of this document as accepting the International Driving Permit) may rent vehicles. However, make sure your IDP includes a Chinese translation inside it. The airport is a 15-20 min drive from Magong city's main street, Zhong-Zheng Rd. There are plenty of gas stations in [[Magong]], but much fewer elsewhere. In addition, many of these close at 5pm (not in Magong though), so make sure you have enough gas when you leave for a trip throughout the main islands. If you turn right as you walk outside the airport building you will find the public bus stop located on the corner of the airport building. The bus stop is clearly marked and also has a timetable and price list. This is by far the cheapest option. There are public buses that travel all around the main bridge linked islands as far as Waian Village (Wai-an) which is located nearby the far end of Xiyu Island. The main bus terminal building is a large building about two streets over from Jhongjheng Rd walking away from and across the road from McDonald's. ==See== [[File:馬公風櫃尾荷蘭城堡 peiiunwu.jpg|thumb|250x250px|Snake Head Hill (蛇頭山), Fengguei, Magong]] In the main city of Magong major sights include the Tianhou Temple where sailors and fishermen have prayed to the sea goddess Mazu for safe seafaring for centuries. Nearby is the 400-year-old Four Eyes Well a single fresh water well with four holes so it can be used by many people at once. It is on a picturesque old street that has been tastefully restored to its former glory. Hou Hsiao-Hsien's film ''[[w:The Boys from Fengkuei|The Boys from Fengkuei]]'' (風櫃來的人, 1983) was shot in Fengkuei, on the main island. ===Itineraries=== One night in Magong, then catch a boat to Qi-mei Island and stay in one of several B & Bs for the night. On returning to Magong spend another night in one of the many B & Bs in one of the villages that are scattered about the islands where you can view the ruins of and some restored traditional courtyard houses, particularly in Erkan Village, Xiyu, that are made from coral and local stones ==Do== === Scooter and cycling around the island === Ride a bicycle from Magong's Rainbow Bridge along the bicycle path beside the seashore is highly recommended. From here you get excellent views across the water to Xiyu Island. === Beaches === Tourists can take a walk along Shan-shui or Ai-men Beach, (each a NT$200 taxi ride away). Most tourists also like to take a boat ride to see some of the many other islands. * '''Magong City:''' **Shan-shui (山水): Something of a "sleepy beach town". If you just want to chill out, you can have a self-contained vacation confined mostly to this town. The beach is pretty nice, with soft, golden-brown sand and clear water. A good place to swim if you're a competent swimmer, but other visitors should be warned that the bottom drops off and becomes deep fairly fast (many Taiwanese tourists don't know how to tread water, even if they've had swimming lessons). Many accommodations are within walking distance of the beach, and there are a few decent and reasonably-priced restaurants around the beach area. The beach is separated from the main street by a high dyke, so there's no beach view from the restaurants. The place tends to clear out at night as tourists go back to Magong city, which is a shame, because there a few nice chill-out bars near the beach. **Shi-li (嵵裡) **713 walking trail * '''Huxi Township:''' Lin-tou Park (林投), Ai-men (隘門), Long-Men Rubbish Beach (龍門後灣) * '''Baisha Township:''' Hou-liao (後寮) * '''Xiyu Township:''' Hou-lo (后螺), Nei-an (內垵), Xiao-Chi-Jiao (小池角) === Southern Sea sailing === Take a boat trip to Seven Beauty Island (in Chinese it is called Qi-mei although it is more often Romanised as Ci-mei or Chi-mei) an island to the south, is also highly recommended. The boat trip from the Magong harbourside South Sea Tourist Centre takes about 90 minutes and you get to see several other islands along the way. Qi-mei Island is a great place to stay in a B & B for one night. The island is small but hilly with cliffs falling into the sea on the southern side. Goats may be seen grazing across the island and another interesting feature is the dry stone and/or coral fences. The best way to travel around is on bikes and this should come as part of the B & B package. However, you will need a Taiwanese licence. Perhaps best to travel with some Taiwanese friends as almost no one speaks English here. === Northern Sea sailing === Ji-bei Island, is a short boat trip to the north and has some of the best beaches. === Snorkeling and Watersports === Watersports are popular in Penghu, with Jibei island in the north being the islands' mecca of high-energy water fun, though many options are available on the main island too. Stand-up paddleboard (SUP) is particularly popular right now (as of 2022). Taiwanese tourists almost always do watersports as a part of guided group excursions. These tend to be "try something new" experiences for total beginners, so if you're an experienced sportsperson or explorer, be warned that you may find many of the tours very underwhelming. Snorkeling tours are no exception - don't count on them to lead you to the best spots. If you have your own equipment and are an experienced snorkeler though, there are many good places to jump in the water and look around, often with good varieties of tropical fish and decent coral cover. Hangwan cove (杭灣) east of Shanshui is a popular place for snorkel tours that show tourists a few fish in the deep middle of the bay, but experienced snorkelers can find much better spots closer to the sides if they look around on their own. Another popular and relatively safe spot for independent snorkeling (many locals go here to hunt for sea urchins to eat) is the Humuhu (虎目滬) area in Xiyu, a shallow bay with small coral heads and lots of sealife that you can access either from the heart-shaped stone weir that tourists take photos on or from the sandy beach halfway around the cove. The best snorkeling in Penghu is said to be in the Four Southern Islands Marine National Park, which you'll need a tour or private charter boat to get to. You're also free to explore and find your own spots around the islands - just be very careful of currents and surge, just like you would be anywhere in the world (snorkel at your own risk). === Birdwatching === Penghu is one of the best places in Taiwan to seabirds in the tern family, mainly in the summer, when various species nest on the outlying islets. Skilled birders will be able to find most species just by walking coastal roads, but for the real experience you need to take a tour or charter boat to the isolated rocky nesting colonies, such as Dinggouyu (釘鉤嶼) in the northeast and Maoyu (貓嶼) in the southwest, or Pengpeng Sandbar (澎澎灘) in the north. Each has different combinations of species nesting there. Penghu can also be good for shorebirds any time of year, and for all kinds of interesting and rare birds during spring migration, since it sits in the middle of the East Asian Flyway and offers a tempting place to rest for birds flying long distances over the ocean. Resident birdlife is limited, but there are some specialties like Eurasian Skylark (the official county bird) and Zitting Cisticola, which both can also be found on the main island of Taiwan, but are especially common here. === Old Magong Castle walking tour === English guide, introduction of Mazu Temple, Central old street or any other else if you mail to greatload@gmail.com (Roxie). == Eat == Penghu is known for seafood, as well as drinks and deserts made from the red-purple fruit of the local prickly-pear cactus. Many restaurants offer top-notch fresh seafood, including local delicacies like turban snails, "sea mushrooms" (actually a kind of sea slug), and pufferfish skin, although this tends to be quite expensive. One of the more affordable local seafood specialties is a kind of small squid called xiaoguan (小管), which is added to soups and noodles and can also be fried or barbecued (but shouldn't be mistaken with the larger xiaojuan (小卷) squid-on-a-stick, which are also tasty but mostly imported from Argentina). The best place for western style bread, cake, coffee and tea is Donutes which is on a main road corner down the hill from McDonald's. Brown Sugar Cake (黑糖糕) can be ordered from several shops along the alley way down from the old well where you can also find Grass Jelly (仙草凍刨冰) and Pink Cactus Fruit Sorbet Ice Cream (仙人掌冰) which is widely available in Magong or on Wangan Island. Spicy Red Oil Wontons (四川紅油抄手) can be found at 四川席炒手馬公市仁愛路25號 in Magong City Tel +886-6-9272899 Western food in Penghu is not only limited to McDonald's. The 5-star Pescadores Hotel offers western style food as does the "He-tian" M Hotel which is at No. 2, MínQuán Rd, Magong, Tel +886 6 926 3936 which is an easy walk from the main street. ==Drink== There are a few bars scattered around Magong mostly near the centre of the city. There are also a few cute outdoor bars in the Shanshui beach area. ==Buy== There are a lot of ATMs in [[Magong]], but fewer elsewhere. Most shops only accept cash. You might search for ATMs by Bank of Taiwan (臺灣銀行) or Bank of Yushan (玉山銀行) in downtown for withdrawing cash. ==Connect== Most hotels have free Wi-Fi. The 4G is available virtually everywhere on the main islands of the archipelago. ==Stay safe== As everywhere (or even more than elsewhere) in Taiwan, Penghu is very safe: virtually no thefts, and a population always willing to help. Typhoons are common in this part of the world during the summer months so remember to keep an eye on weather forecasts as flights may be delayed or cancelled when there is a typhoon. In winter, Penghu is also well known for very strong winds, so if you drive a motorbike, make sure to drive carefully. Frequent "strong wind" road signs will remind you anyway. Be careful swimming at beaches, especially if you're not an experienced swimmer. The gaps between the islands can sometimes have tidal currents, and the water at most beaches isn't shallow enough to wade far out from land (but tend to be safe places for competent swimmers to go swimming). ==Go next== * [[Kinmen]] island {{IsPartOf|Taiwan}} {{outlineregion}} {{geo|23.583333|119.583333|zoom=7}} npig81mzb9e0dlfj4g50ud168gbu1ls 0 28152 4495844 4342301 2022-08-05T20:42:34Z Aundys 2274300 wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Pagebanner default.jpg}} '''Porterville''' is a city in [[Tulare County]] in [[California|California's]] [[San Joaquin Valley]]. ==Get in== {{mapframe|36.068611|-119.027500|zoom=13}} Porterville is located 19 miles (30 km) east of California SR-99 via Ave 44 (CA SR-190). ==Get around== Cars are by far the best way to get around.

While it's maybe not comparable to a western metropolis, with a population of only about 130,000 (2010 census), one in four Cape Verdeans call the city home and the city is an important thoroughfare for international visitors to the archipelagic country. == Understand == [[File:CV-praia-kueste.jpg|thumb|300px|View from the Diogo Gomez memorial]] Praia and its suburbs is by far the largest urban area in Cape Verde. The center of the city lies on a plateau ([[Portuguese|port.]] ''Platô'') overlooking the bay to the southeast and the airport lies a few kilometers to the northeast. The port is important for the export of agricultural products and [[seafood]], which besides tourism is the most important industry in the country. Praia is located in the southern end of Santiago Island and has year round good weather. The city is divided into various small unofficial districts, the most important ones being, Platô (city center), Achada Santo Antonio, Palmarejo, Fazenda, Achada Grande, Varzea, Safende, Sucupira (bazaar area), Calbeciera, Terra Branca, Vila Nova, Achadinha, Bairro, Prainha, Monte Vermelho, Achada Mato, Achada Sao Felipe, and other smaller ones. Most part of the city are residential areas, so probably not worth visiting in itself, but worth a half-day exploration if you are passing through to another destination. The [[Cape Verde#Buy|Cape Verdean escudo]] is denoted "[[File:Cifrão symbol.svg|15px]]", the same sign that is used by dollars and pesos around the world. In this article, prices after the "$" signs are in escudos, unless otherwise stated. ===History=== Settlement in Praia started in 1615. Back then the beach was known as Praia de Gamboa and the village below Santa Maria. Its natural harbour was a popular alternative to the one in [[Cidade Velha]] (then known as Ribeira Grande) with its high harbour fees. Santa Maria became the capital of the region in 1770, and with this started the growth of the city. Much of the historical old town dates from this time. The plateau was the focus for development and services at this time. After independence from Portugal in 1975 the city has rapidly grown in all directions, and the population has quadrupled. ===Climate=== {{Climate| units = Metric | janhigh =25.0 | febhigh =25.0 | marhigh =25.6 | aprhigh =26.1 | mayhigh =27.2 | junhigh =27.8 | julhigh =28.3 | aughigh =28.9 | sephigh =28.9 | octhigh =29.4 | novhigh =27.8 | dechigh =26.1 | janlow =20.0 | feblow =19.4 | marlow =20.0 | aprlow =20.6 | maylow =21.1 | junlow =21.1 | jullow =23.9 | auglow =24.4 | seplow =25.0 | octlow =24.4 | novlow =23.3 | declow =21.7 | janprecip =2.5 | febprecip =1.3 | marprecip =1 | aprprecip =2.3 | mayprecip =0 | junprecip =1 | julprecip =13.2 | augprecip =99.3 | sepprecip =29 | octprecip =47.5 | novprecip =7.9 | decprecip =4.6 | description =Source:[[:w:Praia#Climate]] }} The weather is warm and pleasant around the year. The climate is classified as mild desert, and daytime highs are above +25°C throughout the year. Some rain occurs from August to October, but much less than what's experienced in places with tropical monsoon climate. The rainiest month, August, averages eight rainy days and just under 100 mm of rain. ==Get in== [[File:Praia International Airport.jpg|thumb|Nelson Mandela International Airport]] ===By plane=== Praia is served by {{listing | type=go | name=Nelson Mandela International Airport | alt={{IATA|RAI}} | url=http://www.asa.cv/aeroportos/aeroporto-da-praia/ | email= | address= | lat=14.941111 | long=-23.484722 | directions=around 3 km northeast of downtown | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q1191196 | content=[https://flytacv.com/?lang=en TACV] (the national flag carrier) and some European and African airlines fly to various destinations in Europe, Africa, South America and United States. There are also domestic flights to Cape Verde's largest airport in [[Sal]] (45 min) and to other airports in the country. Flights to [[Boa Vista (Cape Verde)|Boa Vista]] take half an hour. }} Taxis from the airport to Plateau cost 500$. After 18:00 the cost is 800$. There is one bus line that serves the airport but it’s better to just take a taxi since there is actually only one or two buses that serves this line. ===By boat=== You can also enter the city through the port. There are ferry boats that have irregular service to and from the islands of Maio, Boavista, Sal and Sao Nicolau, and more regular and scheduled service to and from Sao Vicente and Fogo. Boat passengers arrive in {{Marker|type=go|lat=14.9112 | long=-23.4990|name=Porto de Praia}}. As of 2014, there were regular ferries from [[Fogo]] (4 hours) and [[Brava]] (just 40 min from Fogo). However, the sea is often rough and will probably make you seasick; flying is much more comfortable. Porto de Praia is also where you will land if you're a cruise passenger. ==Get around== {{mapframe|14.9179|-23.5088}} The city has countless bus stops, and taxis are everywhere waiting for customers. ===By bus=== There are two main bus companies that serve the city, Moura Company and Sol Atlantico. Each route has their own numbers. The main lines are from Safende to Achada Santo Antonio, Vila Nova to Achada Santo Antonio, Calbeceira to Palmarejo, Pensamento to Terra Branca, Achada Grande to Achada Santo Antonio, Sao Felipe to Plateau, Ponta D'Agua to Plateau,Achada Mato to Palmarejo. Most of these lines pass by Plateau (city center), Varzea and Terra Branca, the bus fare is 41$ (as of February 2022). ===By taxi=== When it comes to taxis you should be careful with illegal taxis that sometimes roam around and might rip you off. The normal taxi fare between two furthest points of the city, for example Pensamento to Palmarejo, or Palmarejo to Achada Mato, shouldn’t be more than 1500$ during the day or 1800$ at night. Taxi drivers usually expect to get a tip, give around 50-100$. Just be careful and always use taxis that have a taximeter, so that they don’t overcharge you. ===By foot=== The lack of an official map makes the city a little hard to navigate, especially since large parts still lack proper street names and house numbers. Fortunately, most streets in the city center and in the more important parts of the city do have names and numbers and most people are friendly and will give you directions. Walking between the different districts is not recommended, especially since most of the city's sidewalks are made out of loose cobblestone that make it difficult to walk. Also keep in mind that this town is full of hills that can be tiring to walk. However, if you want to have a good cardio-workout, try it. A bike can be a good way of getting around both Praia and the island itself. The problem is that bike rentals are sparse, so if you're looking forward to a bike vacation, you may need to bring your own. === By rental car === Rental cars can be found mainly at the airport, but with the boom of tourism some downtown locations have opened as well. Rates are around 4500$ per day including tax and insurance. Usually the first 100km are included in the price too, after this it's 0.10$ for each additional kilometer. * {{listing | name=Alucar | alt= | url= | email=alucarst@mail.cvtelecom.cv | address=Av.

The largest of them is the '''carnival''', taking place in the beginning of the year as elsewhere in the Catholic world. With its procession and dances it is not too dissimilar to the Brazilian version, but here the processions aren't strictly arranged by samba schools but rather a spontaneous and informal event where everyone can partake. Other religious festivals (for example honoring a saint) are also reminiscent of the carnival, starting with a mass and continuing as a street festival. === Activities === Reportedly having some of the best waves in the world, Praia is a good destination for '''surfing''' and '''water skiing'''. If you are a beginner, hotels often have courses in these activities. If you want to relax instead, head to some of the '''beaches''' in and around Praia. {{Marker|type=do|lat=14.9043 | long=-23.5166|name=Praia de Quebra Canela}} is probably the most popular among locals and visitors alike.

Most crimes involve petty thievery and these are mostly focused on residents and not on tourists, although there have been a few cases which have involved tourists. So though Praia in general is still a very safe city, be careful not to flaunt any expensive jewelry or gadgets like iPhones and such. Cape Verde in the past few years has seen an increase of petty crimes which are done mostly by groups of young people, so avoid groups of young men especially at night. Praia is also badly lit at night, so be careful in places that might not have street lights and are somewhat isolated, and always travel in pairs or larger groups for safety. However, if anything does occur there are police stations in various parts of the city and a general hospital in the city center. === Emergency numbers === * '''Hospital''' - 130 * '''Fire brigade''' – 131 * '''Police''' – 132 * '''Polícia Judiciária''' – 800 11 34 ==Stay healthy== [[File:Praia-Hospital Agostinho Neto (1).jpg|thumb|Hospital Agostinho Neto]] There's one hospital in the city: * {{listing | name=Hospital Agostinho Neto | alt= | url= | email= | address=Rua Borjona de Freitas | lat=14.9201 | long=-23.5055 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-16 | content= }} There are also five community health centers. ==Cope== ===Embassies and consulates=== * {{flag|Angola}}{{listing | name=Angola | alt= | url= | email=embang@cvtelecom.cv | address=Achada Santo António | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+238 262 32 35, +238 262 32 36, +238 261 82 90 | tollfree= | fax=+238 262 32 34 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Belgium}}{{listing | name=Belgium | alt= | url= | email=humberto.bettencourt@cvt.cv | address=Rua Tenente Valadim | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+238 2 61 23 33 | tollfree= | fax=+238 261 23 33 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Brazil}}{{listing | name=Brazil | alt= | url= | email=emb.brasil@cvtelecom.cv | address=Avenida da Prainha, Chã D’Areia nº 2 | lat=14.91041 | long=-23.51208 | directions= | phone=+238 2 61 56 07,+238 2 61 56 08 | tollfree= | fax=+238 261 56 09 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|China}}{{listing | name=China | alt= | url= | email=embch@cvtelecom.cv | address=Achada Santo António | lat=14.90559 | long=-23.51426 | directions= | phone=+238 2 62 30 29,+238 262 30 28,+238 262 55 30 (/ 34 43) | tollfree= | fax=+238 261 40 34 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Cuba}}{{listing | name=Cuba | alt= | url= | email=ecubacpv@cvtelecom.cv | address=Prainha | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+238 2 61 94 08,+238 2 61 46 44 (/ 27 06 / 46 00 / 22 58) | tollfree= | fax=+238 261 75 27 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Ecuador}}{{listing | name=Ecuador | alt= | url= | email=n.cabral180@hotmail.com | address=Rua da Babilónia, Prainha | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|France}}{{listing | name=France | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=14.90738 | long=-23.51203 | directions= | phone=+238 2 61 55 89, +238 261 55 91 | tollfree= | fax=+238 261 55 90 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Greece}} {{listing | name=Greece | url= | email=annarigacv@gmail.com | address=C.P. 578, Plateau, Praia, Cape Verde | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+238 261-5980 | tollfree= | fax=+238-261-5981 | hours= | price= | content= }} *{{flag|Guinea-Bissau}} {{listing | name=Guinea-Bissau | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=14.90971 | long=-23.52969 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Italy}}{{listing | name=Italy | alt= | url= | email=italpraia@katamil.com | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+238 261 93 43, +238 261 91 71 | tollfree= | fax=+238 261 93 43 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Netherlands}}{{listing | name=Netherlands | alt= | url= | email= | address=Rua Tenente Valadim | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+238 2 61 23 33 | tollfree= | fax=+238 261 99 35 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Norway}}{{listing | name=Norway | alt= | url= | email=carlosveiga@yahoo.com | address=Tira-chapéu | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+238 261 54 08, +238 262 75 55 , +238 232 27 18, +238 232 34 64 | tollfree= | fax=+238 262 78 74, +238 231 89 19 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Pakistan}}{{listing | name=Pakistan | alt= | url= | email=fmoeda@bca.cv | address=Av.

Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário is the oldest colonial church in the world. * The '''National Botanical Garden''' in [[São Jorge dos Órgãos]], Ribeirão Galinha district.

It features a diverse flora and fauna and a characteristic climate. * '''[[Tarrafal]]''' - A village with one of the nicest sand beaches in the country.

While it's maybe not comparable to a western metropolis, with a population of only about 130,000 (2010 census), one in four Cape Verdeans call the city home and the city is an important thoroughfare for international visitors to the archipelagic country. == Understand == [[File:CV-praia-kueste.jpg|thumb|300px|View from the Diogo Gomez memorial]] Praia and its suburbs is by far the largest urban area in Cape Verde. The center of the city lies on a plateau ([[Portuguese|port.]] ''Platô'') overlooking the bay to the southeast and the airport lies a few kilometers to the northeast. The port is important for the export of agricultural products and [[seafood]], which besides tourism is the most important industry in the country. Praia is located in the southern end of Santiago Island and has year round good weather. The city is divided into various small unofficial districts, the most important ones being, Platô (city center), Achada Santo Antonio, Palmarejo, Fazenda, Achada Grande, Varzea, Safende, Sucupira (bazaar area), Calbeciera, Terra Branca, Vila Nova, Achadinha, Bairro, Prainha, Monte Vermelho, Achada Mato, Achada Sao Felipe, and other smaller ones. Most part of the city are residential areas, so probably not worth visiting in itself, but worth a half-day exploration if you are passing through to another destination. The [[Cape Verde#Buy|Cape Verdean escudo]] is denoted "[[File:Cifrão symbol.svg|15px]]", the same sign that is used by dollars and pesos around the world. In this article, prices after the "$" signs are in escudos, unless otherwise stated. ===History=== Settlement in Praia started in 1615. Back then the beach was known as Praia de Gamboa and the village below Santa Maria. Its natural harbour was a popular alternative to the one in [[Cidade Velha]] (then known as Ribeira Grande) with its high harbour fees. Santa Maria became the capital of the region in 1770, and with this started the growth of the city. Much of the historical old town dates from this time. The plateau was the focus for development and services at this time. After independence from Portugal in 1975 the city has rapidly grown in all directions, and the population has quadrupled. ===Climate=== {{Climate| units = Metric | janhigh =25.0 | febhigh =25.0 | marhigh =25.6 | aprhigh =26.1 | mayhigh =27.2 | junhigh =27.8 | julhigh =28.3 | aughigh =28.9 | sephigh =28.9 | octhigh =29.4 | novhigh =27.8 | dechigh =26.1 | janlow =20.0 | feblow =19.4 | marlow =20.0 | aprlow =20.6 | maylow =21.1 | junlow =21.1 | jullow =23.9 | auglow =24.4 | seplow =25.0 | octlow =24.4 | novlow =23.3 | declow =21.7 | janprecip =2.5 | febprecip =1.3 | marprecip =1 | aprprecip =2.3 | mayprecip =0 | junprecip =1 | julprecip =13.2 | augprecip =99.3 | sepprecip =29 | octprecip =47.5 | novprecip =7.9 | decprecip =4.6 | description =Source:[[:w:Praia#Climate]] }} The weather is warm and pleasant around the year. The climate is classified as mild desert, and daytime highs are above +25°C throughout the year. Some rain occurs from August to October, but much less than what's experienced in places with tropical monsoon climate. The rainiest month, August, averages eight rainy days and just under 100 mm of rain. ==Get in== [[File:Praia International Airport.jpg|thumb|Nelson Mandela International Airport]] ===By plane=== Praia is served by {{listing | type=go | name=Nelson Mandela International Airport | alt={{IATA|RAI}} | url=http://www.asa.cv/aeroportos/aeroporto-da-praia/ | email= | address= | lat=14.941111 | long=-23.484722 | directions=around 3 km northeast of downtown | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q1191196 | content=[https://flytacv.com/?lang=en TACV] (the national flag carrier) and some European and African airlines fly to various destinations in Europe, Africa, South America and United States. There are also domestic flights to Cape Verde's largest airport in [[Sal]] (45 min) and to other airports in the country. Flights to [[Boa Vista (Cape Verde)|Boa Vista]] take half an hour. }} Taxis from the airport to Plateau cost 500$. After 18:00 the cost is 800$. There is one bus line that serves the airport but it’s better to just take a taxi since there is actually only one or two buses that serves this line. ===By boat=== You can also enter the city through the port. There are ferry boats that have irregular service to and from the islands of Maio, Boavista, Sal and Sao Nicolau, and more regular and scheduled service to and from Sao Vicente and Fogo. Boat passengers arrive in {{Marker|type=go|lat=14.9112 | long=-23.4990|name=Porto de Praia}}. As of 2014, there were regular ferries from [[Fogo]] (4 hours) and [[Brava]] (just 40 min from Fogo). However, the sea is often rough and will probably make you seasick; flying is much more comfortable. Porto de Praia is also where you will land if you're a cruise passenger. ==Get around== {{mapframe|14.9179|-23.5088}} The city has countless bus stops, and taxis are everywhere waiting for customers. ===By bus=== There are two main bus companies that serve the city, Moura Company and Sol Atlantico. Each route has their own numbers. The main lines are from Safende to Achada Santo Antonio, Vila Nova to Achada Santo Antonio, Calbeceira to Palmarejo, Pensamento to Terra Branca, Achada Grande to Achada Santo Antonio, Sao Felipe to Plateau, Ponta D'Agua to Plateau,Achada Mato to Palmarejo. Most of these lines pass by Plateau (city center), Varzea and Terra Branca, the bus fare is 41$ (as of February 2022). ===By taxi=== When it comes to taxis you should be careful with illegal taxis that sometimes roam around and might rip you off. The normal taxi fare between two furthest points of the city, for example Pensamento to Palmarejo, or Palmarejo to Achada Mato, shouldn’t be more than 1500$ during the day or 1800$ at night. Taxi drivers usually expect to get a tip, give around 50-100$. Just be careful and always use taxis that have a taximeter, so that they don’t overcharge you. ===By foot=== The lack of an official map makes the city a little hard to navigate, especially since large parts still lack proper street names and house numbers. Fortunately, most streets in the city center and in the more important parts of the city do have names and numbers and most people are friendly and will give you directions. Walking between the different districts is not recommended, especially since most of the city's sidewalks are made out of loose cobblestone that make it difficult to walk. Also keep in mind that this town is full of hills that can be tiring to walk. However, if you want to have a good cardio-workout, try it. A bike can be a good way of getting around both Praia and the island itself. The problem is that bike rentals are sparse, so if you're looking forward to a bike vacation, you may need to bring your own. === By rental car === Rental cars can be found mainly at the airport, but with the boom of tourism some downtown locations have opened as well. Rates are around 4500$ per day including tax and insurance. Usually the first 100km are included in the price too, after this it's 0.10$ for each additional kilometer. * {{listing | name=Alucar | alt= | url= | email=alucarst@mail.cvtelecom.cv | address=Av.

The largest of them is the '''carnival''', taking place in the beginning of the year as elsewhere in the Catholic world. With its procession and dances it is not too dissimilar to the Brazilian version, but here the processions aren't strictly arranged by samba schools but rather a spontaneous and informal event where everyone can partake. Other religious festivals (for example honoring a saint) are also reminiscent of the carnival, starting with a mass and continuing as a street festival. === Activities === Reportedly having some of the best waves in the world, Praia is a good destination for '''surfing''' and '''water skiing'''. If you are a beginner, hotels often have courses in these activities. If you want to relax instead, head to some of the '''beaches''' in and around Praia. {{Marker|type=do|lat=14.9043 | long=-23.5166|name=Praia de Quebra Canela}} is probably the most popular among locals and visitors alike.

Most crimes involve petty thievery and these are mostly focused on residents and not on tourists, although there have been a few cases which have involved tourists. So though Praia in general is still a very safe city, be careful not to flaunt any expensive jewelry or gadgets like iPhones and such. Cape Verde in the past few years has seen an increase of petty crimes which are done mostly by groups of young people, so avoid groups of young men especially at night. Praia is also badly lit at night, so be careful in places that might not have street lights and are somewhat isolated, and always travel in pairs or larger groups for safety. However, if anything does occur there are police stations in various parts of the city and a general hospital in the city center. === Emergency numbers === * '''Hospital''' - 130 * '''Fire brigade''' – 131 * '''Police''' – 132 * '''Polícia Judiciária''' – 800 11 34 ==Stay healthy== [[File:Praia-Hospital Agostinho Neto (1).jpg|thumb|Hospital Agostinho Neto]] There's one hospital in the city: * {{listing | name=Hospital Agostinho Neto | alt= | url= | email= | address=Rua Borjona de Freitas | lat=14.9201 | long=-23.5055 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-16 | content= }} There are also five community health centers. ==Cope== ===Embassies and consulates=== * {{flag|Angola}}{{listing | name=Angola | alt= | url= | email=embang@cvtelecom.cv | address=Achada Santo António | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+238 262 32 35, +238 262 32 36, +238 261 82 90 | tollfree= | fax=+238 262 32 34 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Belgium}}{{listing | name=Belgium | alt= | url= | email=humberto.bettencourt@cvt.cv | address=Rua Tenente Valadim | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+238 2 61 23 33 | tollfree= | fax=+238 261 23 33 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Brazil}}{{listing | name=Brazil | alt= | url= | email=emb.brasil@cvtelecom.cv | address=Avenida da Prainha, Chã D’Areia nº 2 | lat=14.91041 | long=-23.51208 | directions= | phone=+238 2 61 56 07,+238 2 61 56 08 | tollfree= | fax=+238 261 56 09 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|China}}{{listing | name=China | alt= | url= | email=embch@cvtelecom.cv | address=Achada Santo António | lat=14.90559 | long=-23.51426 | directions= | phone=+238 2 62 30 29,+238 262 30 28,+238 262 55 30 (/ 34 43) | tollfree= | fax=+238 261 40 34 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Cuba}}{{listing | name=Cuba | alt= | url= | email=ecubacpv@cvtelecom.cv | address=Prainha | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+238 2 61 94 08,+238 2 61 46 44 (/ 27 06 / 46 00 / 22 58) | tollfree= | fax=+238 261 75 27 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Ecuador}}{{listing | name=Ecuador | alt= | url= | email=n.cabral180@hotmail.com | address=Rua da Babilónia, Prainha | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|France}}{{listing | name=France | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=14.90738 | long=-23.51203 | directions= | phone=+238 2 61 55 89, +238 261 55 91 | tollfree= | fax=+238 261 55 90 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Greece}} {{listing | name=Greece | url= | email=annarigacv@gmail.com | address=C.P. 578, Plateau, Praia, Cape Verde | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+238 261-5980 | tollfree= | fax=+238-261-5981 | hours= | price= | content= }} *{{flag|Guinea-Bissau}} {{listing | name=Guinea-Bissau | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=14.90971 | long=-23.52969 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Italy}}{{listing | name=Italy | alt= | url= | email=italpraia@katamil.com | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+238 261 93 43, +238 261 91 71 | tollfree= | fax=+238 261 93 43 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Netherlands}}{{listing | name=Netherlands | alt= | url= | email= | address=Rua Tenente Valadim | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+238 2 61 23 33 | tollfree= | fax=+238 261 99 35 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Norway}}{{listing | name=Norway | alt= | url= | email=carlosveiga@yahoo.com | address=Tira-chapéu | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+238 261 54 08, +238 262 75 55 , +238 232 27 18, +238 232 34 64 | tollfree= | fax=+238 262 78 74, +238 231 89 19 | hours= | price= | lastedit=2015-05-17 | content= }} * {{flag|Pakistan}}{{listing | name=Pakistan | alt= | url= | email=fmoeda@bca.cv | address=Av.

It's the famed city of the [[Roman Empire]], the Seven Hills, ''La Dolce Vita'', the [[Rome/Vatican|Vatican City]] and ''Three Coins in the Fountain''. Rome, as a millennia-long centre of power, culture and religion, was the centre of one of the greatest civilisations ever, and has exerted a huge influence over the world in its circa 2500 years of existence. The historic centre of the city is a [[UNESCO World Heritage List|UNESCO World Heritage Site]]. With wonderful palaces, thousand-year-old churches and basilicas, grand romantic ruins, opulent monuments, ornate statues and graceful fountains, Rome has an immensely rich historical heritage and cosmopolitan atmosphere, making it one of Europe's and the world's most visited, famous, influential and beautiful capitals. Today, Rome has a growing nightlife scene and is also seen as a shopping heaven, being regarded as one of the fashion capitals of the world; some of Italy's oldest jewellery and clothing establishments were founded in the city. With so many sights and things to do, Rome can truly be classified a "global city". ==Districts== ===Central Rome=== Rome can be divided into several districts. The so-called historical centre (''centro storico'') is quite small, being only around 4% of the city's area. This mainly consists of the area inside the Aurelian walls, and is protected by UNESCO. Districts are explained below: {{Regionlist | regionmap=Rome districts map.png | regionmaptext=Rome's central districts | regionmapsize=400px | region1name=[[Rome/Modern Centre|Modern Centre]] | region1color=#9a8be5 | region1items= | region1description=Where many of the hotels are, as well as shopping and dining galore along the Via Veneto; home to the Quirinale, Trevi fountain, Barberini, Castro Pretorio, and Repubblica areas. | region2name=[[Rome/Old Rome|Old Rome]] | region2color=#e57373 | region2items= | region2description=The centre of the Roman medieval and Renaissance periods, with beautiful plazas, cathedrals, the Pantheon, and plenty of laid-back dining; includes the Navona, Campo de' Fiori, and the Jewish Ghetto neighbourhoods. | region3name=[[Rome/Vatican|Vatican]] | region3color=#9a4de5 | region3items= | region3description=The Papal City State and its endless treasure troves of sights, relics, and museums, as well as the surrounding Italian neighbourhood. | region4name=[[Rome/Colosseo|Colosseo]] | region4color=#4de5e5 | region4items= | region4description=The heart of ancient Rome, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Forum of Augustus, the Forum and Markets of Trajan, the Capitoline and its museums. | region5name=[[Rome/North Centre|North Centre]] | region5color=#4de54d | region5items= | region5description=Situated in the north part of Rome, home to the Villa Borghese, the Spanish Steps, and the elegant neighbourhoods of Parioli and Salario. | region6name=[[Rome/Trastevere|Trastevere]] | region6color=#e5e571 | region6items= | region6description=The land to the south of the Vatican, on the west bank of the Tiber River, full of narrow cobbled streets and lonely plazas that served as the inspiration for artists such as Giorgio de Chirico.

Today it remains the seat of the Italian government and home to numerous ministerial offices. Rome has 2.7 million inhabitants while the metropolitan area is home to around 4.5 million. Architecturally and culturally, Rome has some contrasts - you have areas with pompously huge majestic palaces, avenues and basilicas, which are then surrounded by tiny alleyways, little churches and old houses. The centre of Rome is mainly ancient, and modern buildings are usually concentrated in the suburbs, unlike [[Milan]] (where new and old architecture is combined both in the centre and the outskirts). You may also find yourself walking from a grand palace and tree-lined elegant boulevard, into a small and cramped Medieval-like street. The abbreviation "S.P.Q.R" is ubiquitous in Rome, short for the old democratic motto "Senatus Populusque Romanus" (Latin), i.e. "The Roman Senate and People". For two weeks in August, many of Rome's inhabitants shut up shop (literally) and go on their own vacations; many stores, restaurants and other amenities will be '''closed''' during this time. The temperature in the city centre at this time of year is not particularly pleasant. If you do travel to Rome at this time, be prepared to see '''Chiuso per ferie''' (Closed for holidays) signs on many establishments. Even in these weeks the city is very beautiful and if you are looking for a less overcrowded vacation in Rome, this is not a bad time. You will always be able to find somewhere to eat. ===History=== [[Image:Roman Forum.JPG|thumb|right|250px|Roman Forum]] [[Image:Piazza Navona 1.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The artsy Piazza Navona.]] [[Image:Altar della Patria September 2015-1.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The Vittorio Emanuele monument, considered a symbol of modern post-Risorgimento Rome.]] [[Image:Quirinale palazzo e obelico con dioscuri Roma.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The Quirinal Palace, the official residence of the President of Italy.]] {{see also|Roman Empire|Medieval and Renaissance Italy}} Rome's history spans over two and half thousand years, which have seen its transformation from a small Latin village to the centre of a vast empire, through the founding of Catholicism, and into the capital of today's Italy. Rome's history is long and complex. What follows is merely a quick summary. Rome is traditionally thought to have been founded by the mythical twins Romulus and Remus, who were abandoned as infants in the Tiber River and raised by a mother wolf before being found by a shepherd who raised them as his own sons. Rome was founded as a small village sometime in the 8th century BC surrounding the Palatine Hill, including the area where the Roman Forum is found. Due to the village's position at a ford on the Tiber River, Rome became a crossroads of traffic and trade. The settlement developed into the capital of the Roman Kingdom, led by a series of Etruscan kings, before becoming the seat of the Roman Republic at around 500 BC, and then the centre of the [[Roman Empire]] from 27 BC on. For almost a thousand years, Rome was the largest, wealthiest, most powerful city in the Western World, with dominance over most of Europe and the Mediterranean Sea. Even after the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century AD, Rome maintained considerable importance and wealth. Beginning with the reign of Constantine I, the Bishop of Rome (later known as the Pope) gained political and religious importance, establishing Rome as the centre of the Catholic Church. During the Early Middle Ages, the city declined in population but gained a new importance as the capital of the newly formed Papal States. Throughout the Middle Ages, Rome was a major pilgrimage site and the focus of struggles between the Holy Roman Empire and the Papacy. [[Image:Santa Maria in Trastevere front.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The Santa Maria in Trastevere church, a symbol of early medieval Rome.]] With the [[Medieval and Renaissance Italy|Italian Renaissance]] fully under way in the 15th century, Rome changed dramatically. Extravagant churches, bridges, and public spaces, including a new Saint Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, were constructed by the Papacy so that Rome would equal the grandeur of other Italian cities of the period. As the [[Grand Tour]] became customary for young European gentlemen in the 17th century, Rome became an important tourist destination, and remains as such until today. In the 19th century, Rome again became the focus of a power struggle with the rise of the Kingdom of Italy, which wished to see a reunification of Italy. The Papal States remained in control of Rome under French protection, but with the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, French troops were forced to abandon Rome, leaving it clear for the Kingdom of Italy to capture. Rome became the capital of Italy, and has remained such ever since. Rome today is a contemporary metropolis that reflects the many periods of its long history - Ancient times, Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Modern Era. With the rise of Italian Fascism following World War I, Rome's population grew. This trend was stopped by World War II, which dealt relatively minor damage to Rome. With the dismantlement of the monarchy and the creation of the Italian Republic following WWII, Rome again began to grow in population and became a modern city. The city stands today as the capital of Italy and one of the world's major tourist destinations. ===Climate=== {{Climate | units = Metric | janhigh = 13 | febhigh = 14 | marhigh = 18 | aprhigh = 22 | mayhigh = 25 | junhigh = 30 | julhigh = 33 | aughigh = 33 | sephigh = 28 | octhigh = 23 | novhigh = 18 | dechigh = 15 | janlow = 3 | feblow = 4 | marlow = 7 | aprlow = 11 | maylow = 14 | junlow = 17 | jullow = 19 | auglow = 20 | seplow = 16 | octlow = 12 | novlow = 8 | declow = 5 | janprecip = 70 | febprecip = 73 | marprecip = 58 | aprprecip = 66 | mayprecip = 34 | junprecip = 13 | julprecip = 5 | augprecip = 14 | sepprecip = 47 | octprecip = 68 | novprecip = 89 | decprecip = 89 }} Rome has a Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters. The winter months usually present pleasant daytime temperatures and the weather is variable. Nights can be chilly, but the temperature rarely drops to actual cold levels. Snow is rare, and only occurs every few decades or so. Summer presents a pronounced aridity in which hot, sunny conditions prevail. The heat obstacles certain sightseeing activities which involve too much walking during the day, but early mornings and late nights can be wonderful. Autumn and spring are characterised by very pleasant weather accompanied by mild to warm temperatures. ===Background reading=== At last count there were close to 1700 novels set in Rome in days gone by. Most easily available in bookshops are those by Lindsey Davis and Steven Saylor. Both are good storytellers and excellent at portraying life in Ancient Rome. Particularly interesting if you are visiting Rome may be Saylor's ''Roma: The Novel of Ancient Rome'', which traces the first thousand years or so of Rome's history by following the fictional fortunes of two families. Each chapter begins with a map showing the state of Rome's development at the time of the chapter. The classic work on Ancient Rome remains Edward Gibbon's ''History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire''. This was written in 1782 but is still being reprinted. A marvelous book that covers Rome's fortunes from Romulus and Remus to the 1970s is ''Rome: The Biography of a City'' by Christopher Hibbert (Penguin). An excellent guide book, too, although perhaps a bit too heavy to carry around. ''Rome'' by Robert Hughes (Orion Books) concentrates on the city's art history and provides fascinating insights into the things you will see while walking around. ''SPQR'', written by Cambridge University professor and British TV personality Mary Beard, and published in 2015, offers a detailed analysis of Rome's first 1000 years and attempts to answer why Rome expanded from a small village on the Tiber to the centre of a major empire. English-language bookshops in Rome are: *The Lion Bookshop, Via dei Greci, 36, close to [[Rome/North Center|Piazza di Spagna]]. Lots of books and a small cafe. *Anglo-American Bookstore, Via delle Vite, 102, also close to Piazza di Spagna. A large store, with specialist sections. Strong on non-fiction. *The Almost Corner Bookshop, Via del Moro 45, [[Rome/Trastevere|Trastevere]]. Small but very well-stocked store on the other side of the river. Some Italian bookstores also have English-language sections. Try the large selection of English books (but also French, Spanish and more) at Feltrinelli International in via Vittorio Emanuele Orlando - or the smaller selection at its store in [[Rome/Old Rome|Largo Argentina]]. ==Get in== {{quote|A thousand roads lead men forever to Rome.|author=Alaine de Lille|source=''Liber Parabolarum''}} ===By plane=== Rome ({{IATA|ROM}}) has two main international airports: {{listing | type=go | name=Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport | alt={{IATA|FCO}} | url= | email= | address= | lat=41.7935 | long=12.2518 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= | }} {{main|Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport}} This is Rome's main airport. It is modern, large, rather efficient, and well connected to the centre of the city. You have the choice between a dedicated express train or private coaches that both stop at or next to Roma Termini, the main train station in the centre. Regular trains do not go directly to Roma Termini, but might be an option if you stay in other parts of the city, or want to change to other trains or the metro. Late-night arrivals may limit your public transport choice to an irregular bus into town. Taxis operate on a fixed fare to the centre (any point within the city's ancient Aurelian Walls). See the main airport article for more details. {{listing | type=go | name=Ciampino International Airport | alt=Rome Ciampino, {{IATA|CIA}} | url=http://www.adr.it/web/aeroporti-di-roma-en-/pax-cia-ciampino | email= | address= | lat=41.7996 | long=12.5902 | directions=Located to the southeast of the capital | phone=+39 0794941 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Ciampino–G.

Pastine International Airport | image=Roma Ciampino.jpg | wikidata=Q1132616 | content=This small airport is closer to the city centre than Fiumicino and has no direct train connection. }} If the flight connections to Rome don't suit you, you can check flights to other airports around like [[Naples]], [[Perugia]], [[Pescara]], [[Florence]], [[Bologna]], [[Pisa]] or [[Milan]]. From there you can take a (high speed) train or intercity bus to Rome. ====About Ciampino airport ==== '''Cash machines''' are available only in the departures area. This is a relatively small airport and it closes overnight. You will be locked out of the airport until it opens again for the first check-in around 04:30 or 05:00. Flying into Ciampino try to sit on the right of the plane, which will fly just to the east of the centre of the city. Reaching Rome you first see the River Tiber and then the Olympic Stadium, Castel Sant' Angelo, St Peter's and the Vatican and the Colosseum. Before touchdown you fly parallel with the old Appian Way, the tree-lined road on a slight incline about {{km|1}} to the right of the flightpath. There are a few '''direct coach''' services from Ciampino, all of which go to the Termini in downtown Rome: * '''[http://www.sitbusshuttle.com/en/ SITBusShuttle]''' runs a line that costs €4 one-way to the centre (€6 one-way from the centre) or €8 with return (approx. 40 min, with about 25 services a day). * '''[http://www.terravision.eu/rome_ciampino.html Terravision]'''. This is a dedicated airport-city transfer only for the major low cost airlines. The price is €5 (from the airport to Rome Termini)/ €5.80 (from Rome Termini to Ciampino Airport) one-way or €9 return when booked online (approx. 40 min, with a service every 30 min). Passengers on the return trip from Termini are advised to board the bus 3 hours before their flight's departure time. It is not necessary to print out the tickets (mobile tickets are accepted). (updated Oct 2018) * '''[http://www.romeairportbus.com/ RomeAirportBus]''' (by Schiaffini) offers buses from the airport to Termini (at Via Giovanni Giolitti) in the city centre. Ticket prices depend on the direction of travel. Tickets from the airport to the city cost €4.90 single and €7.90 return. Tickets from the city to the airport cost €3.90 single and €7.90 return. * '''[http://www.cotralspa.it/lang/ COTRAL's]''' direct line costs €5 one-way (approx. 40 min), but has far fewer departures than Terravision. This bus may be useful if you arrive at a time when the Metro is closed. There are two '''indirect public transport services''' from Ciampino airport involving a local ATRAL bus, plus a metro or train. These local ATRAL buses operate roughly every hour or 30 minutes during the Italian work day (8-12 and 16-20), and you should count on at least 45 minutes travel time for either route. Timetable booklets are available in some information booths and on the ATRAL website. Bus tickets cost €1.20 and can be bought from the driver: * You can take the '''[http://www.atral-lazio.com/en/ciampino/anagnina local ATRAL bus]''' from the stop located outside the terminal building to the metro station {{marker|type=go|name={{station|Anagnina|A}}|lat=41.84265|long=12.58608}}. A metro ticket to central Rome costs another €1.50. The metro can get very crowded. The bus takes about 20min and the metro another 30min to the main train station (Termini) in Rome. Going towards the airport, the bus departs from platform 1. * There is also a '''[http://www.atral-lazio.com/en/ciampino/fsciampino local ATRAL bus]''' to Ciampino local train station; from there, there are infrequent trains to Rome Termini station (ticket: €2). The '''cheapest''' way from the airport is to take [http://www.atac.roma.it/index.asp?lingua=ENG ATAC urban bus line 720] to {{marker|type=go|name={{station|Laurentina|B}}|lat=41.82707|long=12.48129}}, or [http://www.atac.roma.it/index.asp?lingua=ENG Line 520] to {{marker|type=go|name={{station|Cinecittà|A}}|lat=41.84931|long=12.57435}}. Since all these routes are operated by ATAC, you only need one ticket which costs €1.50 and is valid for 100 min. You cannot buy tickets on the bus, but there are ATAC vending machines shortly before you leave the airport. A shared '''airport shuttle''' can be hired for around €15 per person to take you from Ciampino airport. However, since the shuttle is shared, it may take longer to reach your destination if other customers are dropped off before you are. At Ciampino there is supposed to be an organised '''taxi''' queue but the drivers will often negotiate among themselves if you are going somewhere the cab at the front doesn't want to go to. There are reports that late at night licensed cab drivers in the rank at Ciampino are asking €100 to take you into town, so try to avoid late flights or take the bus that connects with the flight. The fixed price to the city centre (within the Aurelian Walls) is €30 and includes luggage and up to four people. If you have to take a cab just pay the legal fare at your destination. If you have no stomach for the resulting argument then you can phone a cab from one of the numbers listed under ''Get Around''. '''Rental cars''' are available from all major companies. Providers can be reached easily in the arrivals halls. Another option, is to book a '''licensed limousine''' or '''minicab''' in advance online. For example, a sedan, usually a Mercedes E-class, from Fiumicino Airport to Rome Centre and hotels can be booked for €45 or a minivan for €55. The same prices also apply from Ciampino Airport. From Fiumicino Airport to Civitavecchia Port the fare is €100. ===By train=== Rome's main railway station is {{marker|type=go|name={{station|Termini Station|A|B}}|url=http://www.romatermini.com/en/|lat=41.9010|long=12.5020}} which is locked between 00:30 and 04:30. Most long-distance trains passing through Rome between these times will stop at Tiburtina station instead. See also "By boat" below. Other main stations include Ostiense, Trastevere, Tuscolana, Tiburtina. When traveling between major cities or to/from another country, trains will be designed for passengers and luggage. Most others (e.g., between nearby towns and cities) are often designed to serve commuters. * For enroute stations, they stop for only 1–2 minutes. * Most cars have a middle platform close to the station's boarding level, but with a significant gap. Seating areas may be at levels different from the middle platform, with narrow/clumsy steps for moving large luggage and little space to store them. Large pieces must often be left on the middle platform, with someone to guard them. ===By car=== Driving to Rome is quite easy; as they say, all roads lead to Rome. The city is ringed by a motorway, the Grande Raccordo Anulare or GRA. If you are going to the very centre of the city any road leading off the GRA will get you there. If you are going anywhere else, however, a GPS or a good map is essential. Signs on the GRA indicate the name of the road leading to the centre (e.g. Via Appia Nuova, Via Aurelia, Via Tiburtina) but this is useful only for Romans who know where these roads pass. ===By boat=== Most [[cruise ships]] dock in [[Civitavecchia]], to afford their passengers opportunity to visit the area and/or Rome. Many ships arrange shuttle buses to and from the pedestrian port entrance. From there you can walk 10–15 minutes along the shore to the Civitavecchia train station. Purchase of a B.I.R.G. round trip train ticket for Rome costs €9 (as of Fall 2009), and also entitles you to unlimited use of Rome's Metro/underground and city bus lines. Trains for commuters leave every hour or so, more often during rush hours, and take about 80 minutes. You can get off near St. Peters (Trastevere station), or continue to the Termini station right downtown, where countless buses and the Metro await. If you're carrying luggage, see "About luggage" in "By train" above. At some ten times the cost, cruise ships often offer bus transport to Rome as well, taking 2 hours or so to reach some location downtown depending on traffic. It is now possible for modest- to large-sized yachts to dock in the new Porto di Roma, [[Ostia]] marina, located 20 km from Rome and linked by train and metro. Their stations are not within practical walking distance of the marina or riverside boat facilities. ====Ferry services==== In Civitavecchia: * '''[http://www.grimaldi-ferries.com Grimaldi Lines]'''. Provides ferry service to/from [[Barcelona]], [[Tunis]], [[Toulon]] (France), [[Porto-Vecchio]] ([[Corsica]]). * '''[http://www.moby.it/ Moby]'''. Provides service to/from [[Olbia]], [[Sardinia]]. ==Get around== {{Mapframe|41.9|12.4833333|zoom=11|name=Rome's transport|show=go,mask}} {{Mapshapes|Q237480}} [[File:The Capitoline Wolf, Musei Capitolini, Rome (13840968834).jpg|thumb|Statue of the Capitoline She-Wolf nursing Romulus and Remus, in the Musei Capitolini)]] ===By car=== '''In a nutshell: Don't do it.''' Well, some people actually enjoy it as a master class in defensive driving. Roman traffic is chaotic (and has been since the first century BC), but it is possible to drive there. However, the roads are not logical, the signs are few and the condition of the roads gets worse daily. It will take a few weeks to understand where to drive, to get where you want to go. When driving in Rome it is important to accept that Italians drive in a very pragmatic way. Taking turns and letting people go in front of you is rare, but pedestrians are usually grudgingly yielded to. Motorbikes and scooters are driven fearlessly, darting in and out of traffic and splitting lanes. There is little patience so if the light is green when you go into the intersection and you are too slow they will let you know. A green light turning to amber is a reason to accelerate, not brake, in part because the lights usually stay amber for several seconds. If you brake immediately when the light changes you are likely to get rear-ended. '''Parking is so scarce, that in some areas you may have to leave your car kilometers away from your destination.''' Rome is plagued with people who demand money to direct you to a space, even on the rare occasions when there are many places available, however the locals can make anywhere a parking space by flashing their hazard-lights, even if it looks like they are getting away with it, do not try this. While in Rome, it is far better to travel by bus or metro, or (''in extremis'') take a taxi. In the centre, many areas are limited to drivers with special electronic passes. If you go into these areas (which are camera controlled and marked with the sign ''ZTL'') you will end up with a large fine, particularly if your car has Italian plates. ===By taxi=== {{infobox|Fake taxis|Some private citizens dress up their cars to look like cabs. These people strategically locate themselves at airports and railway stations waiting for travellers. Beware of operators who don't display a licensed meter and ID. Use only authorised taxis (white vehicles with a taximeter) that are available in the arrivals areas of the terminals. Also, some airport employees may direct you to a 'Taxi' driver if you ask where you find them when you are inside the airport terminal. The 'Taxi' could end up being a Mercedes limo, costing you double the fare of a real taxi, and a tricky situation to get out of as your luggage is locked away in the limo's trunk.}} Taxis are the most expensive way to get around Rome, but when weighed against convenience and speed, they are often worth it. Roman taxis run on meters, and you should always make sure the driver starts the meter. Taxis will typically pick you up only at a taxi stand, which you will find at all but the smallest piazzas, as well as at the main train station or when called by phone. Flagging down a taxi is possible but quite rare as the taxi drivers prefer to use the stands. When you get in the cab, there will be a fixed starting charge, which will be more for late nights, Sundays and holidays. Supplements will be requested for bags that the driver has to handle, typically €1 per bag. So, if you have a limited amount of luggage that wouldn't need to go in the trunk, you may decline when the driver offers to put your bags in the trunk. Drivers may not use the shortest route, so try to follow the route with a map and discuss if you feel you're being tricked. When you phone for a taxi, the cab's meter starts running when it is summoned, not when it arrives to pick you up, so by the time a cab arrives at your location, there may already be a substantial amount on the meter. A major problem is that taxi drivers often leave the previous fare running on the meter. So you may find the cab arriving with €15 or even more on the meter. If you are not in a hurry you should tell him (there are very few female cab drivers in Rome) to get lost, but if you are desperate to get to the airport it's a different matter. You can get a taxi pretty easily at any piazza though, so calling ahead is really not required. A trip completely across the city (within the walls) will cost about €11 if starting at a cab rank, a little more if there is heavy traffic at night or on a Sunday. Taxi drivers can often try to trick customers by switching a €50 note for a €10 note during payment, leading you to believe that you handed them only €10 when you have already given them €50. The main taxi companies may be called at '''060609''', '''063570''', '''065551''', '''064994''', '''066645''' and '''0688177'''. '''Taxi-hailing apps''' like "Free Now" and "itTaxi" are convenient, allow payment by credit card in the app, and reduce your risk of being scammed. '''Uber Black''' is available, providing high-end vehicles that cost more per trip than taxis. ===On foot=== [[Image:Directions Rome.JPG|thumb|250px|right|Directions for pedestrians on a wall near Piazza Navona]] Once you're in the centre, you are best off on foot. What could be more romantic than strolling through Rome on foot holding hands? That is hard to beat! Crossing a street in Rome can be a bit challenging. There are crosswalks, but they are rarely located at signalled intersections. Traffic can be intimidating, but if you are at a crosswalk just start walking and cars will let you cross the street. While crossing watch out for the thousands of mopeds. As in many European cities, even if the cars and trucks are stationary due to a jam or for another legal reason, mopeds and bikes will be trying to squeeze through the gaps and may be ignoring the reason why everyone else has stopped. This means that even if the traffic seems stationary you need to pause and look around into the gaps. ===By public transport (ATAC)=== [https://www.atac.roma.it/en/home ATAC] operates the public transit network. There are three ways of buying public transport tickets in Rome: app, credit/debit card, or the traditional paper tickets. The paper tickets offer the most types of tickets but the other options may be more convenient for you. The nugo app offers single and 24/48/72 hour tickets on their [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nugo.android Android] or [https://apps.apple.com/it/app/nugo/id1313956275 iOS] app. As noted below, the daily tickets is quite expensive and it may be more beneficial to just buy single tickets. If you start your journey on the metro, you can touch in using your contactless credit/debit card. You may continue your journey on a bus or tram without further validation within the 100 minute limit. You are charged €1.50 per touch in, and this is capped to a maximum of €7/day. Bus or trams don't have card readers so you can't start your journey there. Paper tickets must be bought (from a 'Tabacchi' - look for the big 'T' sign, these shops are plentiful, or from a kiosk selling newspapers) before you board the bus, Metro, or tram. Metro stations have automated ticket kiosks, and major Metro stations have clerked ticket windows. Some of the rare trams have single ticket machines as well. Tickets for regular ATAC buses, Metro, and trams are the same fares and are compatible with each other. Ticket options are as follows (Oct 2019): * a single ticket ride ('Biglietto Integrato a Tempo' or BIT) - €1.50 - you can change buses or into and out of the metro on one journey (valid for 100 minutes) * 24 hours Ticket ('Biglietto 24 ore') - €7 (Valid for 24 hours). * 48 hours Ticket ('Biglietto 48 ore') - €12.50 (Valid for 48 hours). * 72 hours Ticket ('Biglietto 72 ore') - €18 (Valid for 72 hours). * Integrated Weekly Ticket ('Carta Integrata Settimanale') - €24 (Valid for 7 days). * Monthly Pass ('Abbonamento Mensile') - €35 * Annual Pass ('Abbonamento Annuale') - €250 When you board the bus or metro you have to '''validate the ticket''' ('convalidare') in the little yellow machine. The last four types of ticket on the list above must be validated the first time you use them only. On the whole, the integrated passes are not economical. Unless you take many rides spread all over the day, the single ticket ride option is preferable. Calculating if a pass is worth it is easy since a single ticket ride costs €1.50. For example, for a daily ticket (€7) to be worth it, you would have to make 5 or more trips at intervals greater than 100 minutes apart on a single day. Many visitors just walk through the city in one direction and take a single ride back. [http://atac.roma.it/index.asp?lingua=ENG ATAC] polices the buses, Metro, and trams for people riding without tickets. Inspectors can be rare on some buses, although they tend to increase their presence in the summer. Inspectors are present on the Metro as well, and you should keep your validated ticket throughout your journey as proof-of-payment. If you don't have sufficient money on you to pay the fine, they will actually escort you to an ATM to pay the fee. If you don't have an ATM card to withdraw money, you will be asked to pay by mail, and the fee goes up to €140. Inspectors can also fine you for getting in and out of the wrong door, even if the bus is empty! The entrances are the front and rear doors and the exit in the middle. Many Romans ignore this distinction. The '''Roma Pass''' includes full access to the public transport system. There is also an alternative pass called '''OMNIA Vatican and Rome''' which includes the services provided by Roma Pass. Read the ''[[Rome#Roma Pass|See section]]'' for details. ====Journey planner==== You can find real-time information about bus waiting times, as well as a journey planner, at [https://muoversiaroma.it Muoversi a Roma] or [http://muovi.roma.it its lighter version] (perhaps an older one). Transit maps and directions area also available on Apple Maps (requires an internet connection), and Google Maps (can be downloaded for offline use). ====Bus==== Roman buses are reliable but crowded. They are the best way to get around the city (except walking). Free maps of the bus system are available. Others can be purchased (€3.5 at Termini). Signs at the bus stop list the stops for each route. Ask for assistance. In Rome, there is always somebody nearby who speaks English. Some bus lines have arrivals every ten minutes or so. Less popular routes may arrive every half hour or less. If heading outside the centre beware that bus schedules can be seriously disrupted by heavy traffic. Quite often trips just get cancelled. Do not rely on counting the number of stops to the destination. The signs on the stops mention only the major streets where the bus stops, but there may be 3 or 5 stops for each one. Instead, ask the driver or consult with your GPS. Useful bus lines are: * '''23''' San Paolo - Ostiense - Piazza Risorgimento (St. Peter and Vatican Museums). * '''40''' Stazione Termini - St. Peter. The 40 arches from the Termini station through the historic centre and then up to the Castel Sant'Angelo, near the Vatican. It is considered an express route, so its stops are spaced about 800 m (1/2 mile) apart; but it is also very frequent, very convenient for most places that the Metro does not go to, and very fast, especially compared to other routes. * '''64''' Stazione Termini - Corso Vittorio Emanuele II - St. Peter. The 64 also goes from Termini to the Vatican. It is a favourite with pickpockets. * '''75''' Stazione Termini - Forum Romanum - Colosseum - Testaccio - Trastevere. * '''81''' San Giovanni in Laterano - Colosseum - Piazza Venezia - Piazza Risorgimento (St. Peter and Vatican Museums). * '''115''' Largo Fiorentini (near Vittorio Emanuele bridge) - Gianicolo - Trastevere. * '''116''' Via Veneto - Campo de Fiori - Piazza Navona - Terminal Gianicolo (St. Peter). * '''117''' San Giovanni in Laterano - Colosseum - Piazza di Spagna - Piazza del Popolo. The 116 and 117 are little electric buses which wind through the Centro Storico; 117 does not work on holidays. * '''Night buses''' could be useful due to the closing of the Metro stations at 23:30 and the stopping of regular lines of buses and trams at midnight. During the summer (until 23 September) and on Fridays and Saturdays, the frequency of the rides is halved, which can vary among 10, 15, 30 and 35 minutes depending on the line. In any case they are much more punctual than during the day, as traffic is much less jammed. This makes the drivers drive at high speeds, allowing passengers to experience a strange mixture of adrenaline and (the city's) classical views. Hubs of the night buses are Termini and Piazza Venezia. All the bus lines have the prefix "N"; N1 and N2 routes are similar to metro line A and B respectively, N28 for line C. ====Tram==== [[Image:Roma - mappa metropolitana (schematica).png|thumb|300px|Rome metro network]] The Tram routes mostly skirt the historic centre, but there are stops convenient for the Vatican, the Colosseum, and the Trastevere area. The number 8 does run into the centre to Largo Argentina, not far from the Pantheon, and terminate at Piazza Venezia. If you want to catch a soccer game at one of the stadiums in the north of the city, catch the tram (2) just north of the Piazza del Popolo. Number 19 links the Vatican with Villa Borghese. ====Metro==== There are two lines that cross at Termini station: line {{rint|rome|A}} runs northwest past the Vatican and southeast, and line {{rint|rome|B}} runs southwest past the Colosseum and northeast in one direction, but also splits at the "Bologna" station to go due north until Jonio. Line {{rint|rome|C}} runs from San Giovanni station to the eastern suburbs. All lines open at 05:30 and stop running at 23:30, except Fridays and Saturdays, when the last trains leave from the stations at 01:30. The Metro is the most punctual form of public transportation in Rome, but it can get extremely crowded during rush hour. See safety warning in the [[#Stay safe|Stay Safe section]]. ===By commuter rail=== There is a network of suburban rail lines that mostly connect to smaller towns and conurbations of Rome. Tourists are unlikely to use these, except when arriving from Fiumicino, but they can be very convenient if you fancy a day-trip out of Rome (see [[Rome#Go next|Go next]]). ===By moped=== There is the possibility to hire motor bikes or scooters. Many Romans prefer this way of transportation, even in winter you can see them driving scooters equipped with raincoats, blankets, and rain boots. Motorbikes are not particularly safe in Rome and most accidents seem to involve one (or two!). Nevertheless, Roman traffic is chaotic and a scooter provides excellent mobility within the city. Scooter rental costs between €30 and €70 per day depending on scooter size and rental company. The traffic can be intimidating and the experience exciting but a bit insane. Some of the main rental shops: * {{listing | name=Scoot A Long noleggio scooter | alt= | url= | email= | address=via Cavour 302 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 06 6780206 | tollfree= | fax= | content= }} * {{listing | name=Centro Moto Coloseo | alt= | url= | email= | address=strada statale Quattro, 46 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 06 70451069 | tollfree= | fax= | content= }} * {{listing | name=Eco Move Rent | alt= | url= | email= | address=Via Varese 48/50 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 06 44704518 | tollfree= | fax= | content= }} * {{listing | name=Rent & Rent | alt= | url= | email= | address=v.

Some shops are even specialised only on high quality ones while street stands will hire you cheaper and heavy ones. Bicycling alone can be stressful because of the traffic. The best way is to discover first how to move around and avoid traffic and stress with a guide thanks to one of the tours offered by almost all rental shops. There are different itineraries offered from the basic city centre, panoramic Rome tour to the Ancient Parks (from €29 for 4h). The experience is well worth it and you would reduce also your impact on the city environment and on the traffic. [[Image:Woman with bicycle in Piazza del Campidoglio, Rome - 2526.jpg|thumb|300px|Rome with a bike]] Even moderately experienced cyclists, however, may find that cycling through Rome's streets offers an unparalleled way to learn the city intimately and get around very cheaply and efficiently. While the Roman traffic is certainly chaotic to someone from a country with more regimented and enforced rules of the road, Roman drivers are, generally speaking, used to seeing bicycles, as well as scooters and motorcycles, and one may move throughout the city relatively easily. If you are in a car's way, they will generally let you know with a quick beep of the horn and wait for you to move. A particularly spectacular, and relaxing, cycle trip is to pedal out along ''la Via Appia Antica'', the original Appian Way that linked much of Italy to Rome. Some of the original cobblestones, now worn by over 2 millennia of traffic, are still in place. With exceptionally light traffic in most sections, you can casually meander your bike over kilometres of incredible scenery and pass ancient relics and active archaeological sites throughout the journey.

It is a fast and convenient way to get around in the city centre. In Rome, a person on a Segway is considered a pedestrian, not a motorist, so Segways are only allowed on the sidewalks, not in the streets with vehicles. Segway rental costs between €25 and €50 per hour, or between €70 and €100 for an accompanied tour of 2–4 hours. Some of the main rental shops: * Rome on Segway, via Labicana 94, tel: 06 97602723, 39 3486121355 * Rex-Tours and Rent, Via dei Balestrari 33, tel: 06 87690040 * Ecogo Segway, Piazzale Ammiraglio Bergamini 10, tel: 39 3409345441 Moreover, it is possible to book online several Segway Tour in Rome, focused on certain attractions or itineraries. Some of the main rental websites are: * [http://www.romebysegway.com/site/ Rome by Segway] * [http://www.italysegwaytours.com/default.asp?lang=en Italy by Segway] * [http://italyxp.com/en/experiences/rome-tour-segway-discover-imperial-rome ItalyXP] ==See== [[File:Piazza del Campidoglio, Rome - 2498.jpg|thumb|300px|Campidoglio Rome]] Italians are very fond of their landmarks; in order to make them accessible to everyone one week a year there is no charge for admittance to all publicly owned landmarks and historical sites. This week, known as "''La settimana dei beni culturali''", typically occurs in mid-May and for those 7 to 10 days every landmark, archaeological site and museum belonging to government agencies (including the Quirinale presidential palace and gardens, the Colosseum and all of the ancient Forum) is accessible and free of charge. Government-owned museums and historical sites have '''free admission''' on the first Sunday of every month. [[File:0 Castel et pont Sant'Angelo (2).JPG|thumb|Castel Sant'Angelo and angel figure]] ===Roma Pass=== If you'll be staying in Rome for at least 3 days, consider purchasing the '''[http://www.romapass.it/?l=en Roma Pass]'''. It is valid for 3 days and costs €52 (Dec 2021). It entitles holders to free admission to the first two museums and/or archaeological sites visited, full access to the public transport system, and discounts for the other museums, tourist sites, exhibitions, music events, theatrical and dance performances. This pass gets you in to the Colosseum (Colosseo), Palatine Hill (Palatino Hill), the Baths of Caracalla (Terme di Caracalla), and the catacombs as well as the Terme di Diocleziano, Palazza Massimo alle Terme, Crypta Balbi, Palazzo Altemps, Villa dei Quintili, and the Tomb of Cecilia Metella. A ''Roma Pass 48-hours'' is also offered for €32 (Dec 2021) and is valid for 2 days. For this pass only the first museum and/or archaeological sites visited is free. Check the expiration date at the back of the Roma Pass card. If the card's validity has expired it does not work in the metro's ticket gate. Be sure to buy the passes at official tourist offices. There are also small booths on the streets that sell tickets, but they could charge you a higher price. Another advantage of the Roma Pass is that you can often skip the waiting queues if it's one of your first two free entrances. This way you can avoid, for example, a 1+ hour waiting time at the Colosseum. There's an alternative pass called '''[http://www.romeandvaticanpass.com/what-you-get/ OMNIA Vatican and Rome]''' that includes the services provided by Roma Pass, free entry to Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel, fast track entry to St Peter's Basilica and hop-on-hop-off bus tour for 3 days. It costs €113 for 3 days ===Ancient Rome=== [[Image:Pantheon, Rome 2.jpg|thumb|right|Coffers and Oculus of the Pantheon]] The main area for exploring the ruins of ancient Rome is in [[Rome/Colosseo]] either side of Via dei Fori Imperiali, which connects the Colosseum and Piazza Venezia. Constructed between 1931 and 1933, at the time of Mussolini, this road destroyed a large area of Renaissance and medieval buildings constructed on top of ruins of the ancient forums and ended forever plans for an archaeological park stretching all the way to the Appian Way. Heading towards the Colosseum from Piazza Venezia, you see the Roman Forum on your right and Trajan's Forum and Market on the left. To the right of the Colosseum is the Arch of Constantine and the beginning of the Palatine Hill, which will eventually lead you to ruins of the Flavian Palace and a view of the Circus Maximus (see [[Rome/Aventino-Testaccio]]). To the left, after the Colosseum is a wide, tree-lined path that climbs through the Colle Oppio park. Underneath this park is the Golden House of Nero (Domus Aurea), an enormous and spectacular underground complex restored and then closed again due to damage caused by heavy rain. Further to the left on the Esquiline Hill are ruins of Trajan's baths. In [[Rome/Old Rome|Old Rome]] you must see the Pantheon, which is amazingly well preserved considering it dates back to 125 AD. There is a hole constructed in the ceiling so it is an interesting experience to be there when it is raining. If you are heading to the Pantheon from Piazza Venezia you first reach Largo di Torre Argentina on your left. Until 1926 this was covered in narrow streets and small houses, which were razed to the ground when ruins of Roman temples were discovered. Moving along Corso Vittorio Emmanuelle and crossing the Tiber river into [[Rome/Vatican|the Vatican area]] you see the imposing Castel Sant' Angelo, built as a Mausoleum for the Emperor Hadrian. This is connected by a covered fortified corridor to the Vatican and served as a refuge for Popes in times of trouble. South of the Colosseum are the Baths of Caracalla ([[Rome/Aventino-Testaccio|Aventino-Testaccio]]). You can then head South-East on the old Appian Way, passing through a stretch of very well-preserved city wall. For the adventurous, continuing along the Appian Way ([[Rome/South]]) will bring you to a whole host of Roman ruins, including the Circus of Maxentius, the tomb of Cecilia Metella, the Villa dei Quintili and, nearby, several long stretches of Roman aqueduct. Returning to the [[Rome/Modern Center|Modern Centre]], the Baths of Diocletian are opposite the entrance to the main railway station, Termini. The National Museum of Rome stands in the South-West corner of the Baths complex and has an enormous collection of Roman sculptures and other artefacts. But this is just one of numerous museums devoted to ancient Rome, including those of the Capitoline Hill. It is really amazing how much there is. === Catholic Rome === [[Image:Saint Peter's Basilica facade, Rome, Italy.jpg|thumb|right|300px|The Renaissance/Baroque opulent exterior of St. Peter's Basilica]] There are more than 900 churches in Rome; probably one third would be well worth a visit! In Catholic tradition, St. Peter is said to have founded the church in Rome together with St. Paul. The first churches of Rome originated in places where early Christians met, usually in the homes of private citizens. By the IVth Century, however, there were already four major churches, or basilicas. Rome had 28 cardinals who took it in turns to give mass once a week in one of the basilicas. In one form or another the four basilicas are with us today and constitute the major churches of Rome. They are [[Rome/Vatican|St Peter's]], [[Rome/South|St Paul's Outside the Walls]], [[Rome/Esquilino-San Giovanni|Santa Maria Maggiore]] and [[Rome/Esquilino-San Giovanni|San Giovanni]]. All pilgrims to Rome are expected to visit these four basilicas, together with [[Rome/Nomentano|San Lorenzo fuori le mura]], [[Rome/Esquilino-San Giovanni|Santa Croce in Gerusalemme]], and [[Rome/South|the Sanctuary of Divino Amore]]. The latter was inserted as one of the seven at the time of the Great Jubilee in 2000, replacing [[Rome/South|San Sebastiano outside the walls]]. Take a look inside a few churches. You'll find the richness and range of decor astonishing, from fine classical art to tacky electric candles. Starting with several good examples of early Christian churches, including [[Rome/Colosseo|San Clemente]] and [[Rome/Nomentano|Santa Costanza]], there are churches built over a period of 1700 years or so, including modern churches constructed to serve Rome's new suburbs. Some churches in Rome deny admission to people who are dressed inappropriately. You will find "fashion police" at the most visited churches. ("Knees and shoulders" are the main problem - especially female ones.) Bare shoulders, short skirts, and shorts are officially not allowed, but long shorts and skirts reaching just above the knee should generally be no problem. However, it's always safer to wear longer pants or skirts that go below the knee; St. Peter's in particular is known for rejecting tourists for uncovered knees, shoulders, midriffs, etc. (You also generally won't be told until right before you enter the church, so you will have made the trek to the Vatican and stood in a long security line for nothing.) The stricter churches usually have vendors just outside selling inexpensive scarves and sometimes plastic pants. But relatively few churches enforce dress codes and you can wander into most wearing shorts, sleeveless shirts, or pretty much anything without problems. It is, however, good to keep one's dress tasteful, as these are still churches and houses of prayer for many people. (Older Romans might comment on your attire and perhaps harass you if it is particularly revealing.) ===The Seven Hills of Rome=== [[Image:Seven Hills of Rome.svg|thumb|right|300px|The original seven hills and the Servian wall]] To the modern visitor, the Seven Hills of Rome can be rather difficult to identify. In the first place generations of buildings constructed on top of each other and the construction of tall buildings in the valleys have tended to make the hills less pronounced than they originally were. Secondly, there are clearly more than seven hills. In Roman days many of these were outside the city boundaries. The seven hills were first occupied by small settlements and not recognised as a city for some time. Rome came into being as these settlements acted together to drain the marshy valleys between them and turn them into markets and fora. The [[Rome/Colosseo|Roman Forum]] used to be a swamp. The Palatine Hill looms over [[Rome/Aventino-Testaccio|Circus Maximus]] and is accessed near the [[Rome/Colosseo|Colosseum]] . Legend has it that this was occupied by Romulus when he fell out with his brother, Remus, who occupied the [[Rome/Aventino-Testaccio|Aventine Hill]] on the other side of the Circus. Also clearly recognisable as hills are the [[Rome/Aventino-Testaccio|Caelian]], to the southeast of Circus Maximus and the [[Rome/Old Rome|Capitoline]], which overlooks the Forum and now hosts the Municipality of Rome. East and northeast of the Roman Forum are the [[Rome/Esquilino|Esquiline]], [[Rome/Modern Center|Viminal, and Quirinal hills]]. These are less easy to distinguish as separate hills these days and from a distance look like one. [[Image:Servian at Termini.JPG|thumb|250px|right|The Servian Wall outside Termini Station]] The red line on the map indicates the Servian Wall, its construction is credited to the Roman King Servius Tullius in the Sixth Century BC, but archaeological evidence places its construction during the Fourth Century BC. Small bits of this wall can still be seen, particularly close to Termini railway station and on the [[Rome/Aventino-Testaccio|Aventine hill]]. As Rome expanded new walls were required to protect the larger area. These were built in the Third Century AD by the Emperor Aurelian. Lengthy sections of this wall remain all around the outskirts of Rome's centre. Much is in very good condition. Among other hills of Rome, not included in the seven, are that overlooking the [[Rome/Vatican|Vatican]]; the Janiculum overlooking [[Rome/Trastevere|Trastevere]], which provides excellent views of Rome; the Pincio on the edge of the [[Rome/North Center|Borghese Gardens]], which gives good views of the Vatican, and the Monte Mario to the north. ===Museums=== If you are in Rome for the '''Arts''' there are several world-class museums in the city. The natural starting point is a visit to the area of '''Villa Borghese''' in [[Rome/North Center]], where there is a cluster of art museums in and around the Borghese Gardens. '''Galleria Borghese''' houses a previously private art collection of the Borghese family, '''Museo Nazionale di Villa Giulia''' is home of the world's largest Etruscan art collection, and '''Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna''' houses many Italian masterpieces as well as a few pieces by artists such as Cézanne, Degas, Monet and Van Gogh. The '''Capitoline Museums''' in the [[Rome/Colosseo#Museums and galleries|Colosseo district]] opens their doors to the city's most important collection of antique Roman and Greek art and sculptures. Visit the '''Galleria d'Arte Antica''', housed in the Barberini palace in the [[Rome/Modern Center#Palazzo Barberini|Modern centre]], for Italian Renaissance and Baroque art. A visit to Rome is not complete without a trip to the [[Rome/Vatican|Vatican Museum]]. You need to go to the museum if you want to see the Sistine Chapel, but there is an enormous collection. You cannot miss part of this, such as tapestries, maps and the rooms painted by Rafael, as they are en route to the Sistine Chapel, but there is much, much more to explore, including a stunning Egyptian collection, and the Pinacoteca, which includes a Portrait of St. Jerome by Leonardo da Vinci and paintings by Giotto, Perugino, Raphael, Veronese, Caravaggio, and others. Rome's '''National Museum at the Baths of Diocletian''' in the [[Rome/Modern Center|Modern Centre]] has a vast archaeological collection as does the national museum at '''Palazzo Altemps''', close to [[Rome/Modern Center|Piazza Navona]]. Further afield, the '''Museo di Civilta Romana''' (Museum of Rome's Civilization), in [[Rome/South|EUR]] is most famous for an enormous model of Imperial Rome, but also has an extensive display of plaster casts, models and reconstructions of statues and Roman stonework. If you have plenty of time there is absolutely no shortage of other museums covering a wide variety of interests. Examples include the '''Museum of the Walls''' (see [[Rome/South]]), the '''Musical Instrument Museum''' and a museum devoted to the liberation of Rome from German occupation in the Second World War ([[Rome/Esquilino-San Giovanni]]). Check museum opening hours before heading there. Government museums are invariably closed on Mondays, so that is a good day for other activities. The Rome municipality itself operates some 17 museums and attractions. Info at [http://en.museiincomuneroma.it/ Musei In Comune Roma]. These are free to European Union citizens under 18 and over 65. Websites for other museums are listed on the relevant District pages. ===Just walking around=== [[Image:Piazza della Repubblica (Roma).jpg|thumb|right|220px|The lovely Piazza della Repubblica.]] Much of the attraction of Rome is in just wandering around the old city. You can quickly escape from the major tourist routes and feel as if you are in a small medieval village, not a capital city. If you can do so while watching for uneven cobblestones, keep looking upwards. There are some amazing roof gardens and all sorts of sculptures, paintings and religious icons attached to exterior walls. Look through 2nd and 3rd floor windows to see some oak-beamed ceilings in the old houses. Look through the archway entrances of larger Palazzos to see incredible courtyards, complete with sculptures, fountains and gardens. Take a stroll in the area between '''Piazza Navona''' and the '''Tiber''' river in [[Rome/Old Rome|Old Rome]] where artisans continue to ply their trade from small shops. Also in [[Rome/Old Rome|Old Rome]], take a {{km|1}} stroll down '''Via Giulia''', which is lined with many old palaces. Film enthusiasts will want to visit '''Via Veneto''' (Via Vittorio Veneto) in the [[Rome/Modern Center|Modern Centre]], scene for much of Fellini's ''La Dolce Vita''. ===The Piazzas=== The narrow streets frequently broaden out into small or large squares (piazzas), which usually have one or more churches and a fountain or two. Apart from '''Piazza Navona''' and '''Piazza della Rotonda''' (in front of the Pantheon), take in the nearby '''Piazza della Minerva''', with its unique elephant statue by Bernini and '''Piazza Colonna''' with the column of Marcus Aurelius and Palazzo Chigi, meeting place of the Italian Government. On the other side of Corso Vittorio Emanuele are '''Piazza Farnese''' with the Palazzo of the same name (now the French Embassy) and two interesting fountains and the flower sellers at '''Campo dei Fiori''', scene of Rome's executions in the old days. All of these squares are a short distance from each other in [[Rome/Old Rome|Old Rome]]. The enormous '''Piazza del Popolo''' in the [[Rome/North Center|North Centre]], which provided an imposing entrance to the city when it represented the northern boundary of Rome, is well worth a visit. A short walk back towards the centre brings you to '''Piazza di Spagna''' at the foot of the Spanish Steps. Yet another fascinating fountain here. The area was much used as backdrop for the 1953 film '''Roman Holiday''' with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. [[Image:Piazza Navona1.JPG|thumb|right|220px|Piazza Navona]] On the other side of the river is, of course, the magnificent square of '''St Peter's''' at the [[Rome/Vatican|Vatican]]. Further south, in [[Rome/Trastevere|Trastevere]] is '''Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere''', a great place to watch the world go by, either from one of the restaurants or bars that line two sides of the square or, if that is too expensive, from the steps of the central fountain. The square attracts many street entertainers. Moving back to the [[Rome/Modern Center|Modern Centre]] you have to see the '''Trevi Fountain''', surely a part of everyone's Roman holiday. Visitors are always amazed that such a big and famous fountain is tucked away in a small piazza in the middle of side streets. Take extra-special care of your possessions here. Further up the Via del Tritone you will come to '''Piazza Barberini''', now full of traffic but the lovely Bernini fountain is not to be missed. === Overlooked Places === [[Rome/South|EUR]] provides a selection of Fascist Architecture, including the '''Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana''', often referred to "the Square Colosseum." It was designed to honour the historic Colosseum. This would be an interesting place to visit after seeing the Colosseum to compare their differences and similarities. ===Viewpoints=== [[Image:Popolo.jpg|thumb|right|220px|On the Pincio above Piazza del Popolo is a good viewpoint.]] With no tall buildings in Rome, views of the city come from climbing the many hills, either the original seven hills of Rome or others that surround them. The two most popular views of Rome are from the '''Janiculum''' hill overlooking [[Rome/Trastevere|Trastevere]] and the '''Pincio''' at the edge of the [[Rome/North Center|Borghese Gardens]]. The former, best reached by car, has sweeping views of the centre of Rome, as long as the authorities remember to prune the trees on the hillside in front of the viewpoint. Cross over the piazza for an excellent view of the dome of '''St Peter's'''. The [[Rome/Vatican|Vatican]] is the main sight from the Pincio (metro Line A, Piazza del Popolo, and then a good climb). Less popular, but just as nice, is the orange grove at Parco Savello on the [[Rome/Aventino-Testaccio|Aventine Hill]]. Even less popular among tourists, as it is better accessed by car or moped, it the small square in front of the Zodiaco Restaurant in Monte Mario, a very popular spot for young Roman couples. ===Rome for kids=== If you are planning some serious sightseeing then leave the kids with their grandparents! They don't take kindly to being dragged from ruin to ruin and church to church. A common sight in Rome is miserable looking kids traipsing after their parents. Also, push chairs/buggies are difficult to use because of the cobbled streets. If you are a family, do not try to do too much. It will be a big strain on kids and in the end everyone will be tired. Apart from the major attractions Rome has relatively little to entertain kids. If you noticed a big Ferris wheel on your way in from Fiumicino Airport, think again. Lunapark at [[Rome/South|EUR]] was closed down in 2008. A few of the other ways to bribe your kids, however, are: *'''[https://www.mdbr.it/en Children's Museum]'''. Via Flaminia 82. Just north of Piazza del Popolo. Controlled entrance at 10.00, 12,00, 15.00 and 17.00 for visits lasting 1 hour 45 minutes. Closed Mondays and for much of August. Best to check the web site for up-to-date info and to book in advance. Hands-on science, mainly for pre-teens, housed in a former tram-car depot. *'''Bioparco'''. The renamed Rome Zoo. On the edge of the Borghese Gardens ([[Rome/North Center|North Centre]]). *'''[http://timeelevator.it/ The Time Elevator]'''. Via dei Santi Apostoli, 20 on a side street between Piazza Venezia and the Trevi Fountain. Daily 10.30 to 19.30. "Five-dimensional" shows on the Origins of Life and on the History of Rome, plus "The House of Horrors". Not for the faint-hearted: your seats move all over the place. Kids love it. *'''Rome's Wax Museum'''. 67 Piazza di Santi Apostoli, next to Piazza Venezia. Few good reports about this museum. Comments invited. *'''Planetarium'''. This also has an excellent astronomy museum and is conveniently next to the Museum of Rome's Civilization ([[Rome/South|EUR]]). *'''The Vatican''' is, by and large, not a great idea for kids although they often enjoy the Sistine Chapel and are impressed by the beauty and the fact that it was all done in just four years. However, the Sistine Chapel is very crowded and getting there through the corridors of the Vatican Museum is even worse. It is easy for families to get separated so determine a meeting point. The best part of St. Peter's Basilica is that kids can go to the top of the dome. It is 500 steps but you can take the elevator up to the third floor. From there there are another 323 exhausting steps. So it is fun for older kids who can both climb up all the stairs and walk down as there is a huge line for the elevator ([[Rome/Vatican|Vatican]]). *'''[http://zoomarine.it/ Zoomarine] {{dead link|December 2020}}'''. Dolphins, sea lions, exotic birds, splashy rides and swimming pools, some {{km|20}} south of Rome near Pomezia. A good day out, but is this really why you came to Rome? Free transport from EUR and Pomezia railway station. Check web site for details. ==Do== *Take in a show. There are lots of theatres, but you will need to know Italian to enjoy them. The main concert venue is the '''Auditorium''' in Viale Pietro de Coubertin [[Rome/North Center|to the north of Rome]]. The Auditorium at Parco della Musica is a large complex composed of three separate halls whose shapes are inspired by musical instruments. These are positioned around an open-air amphitheatre, that is used nearly every night in the summer for concerts. The Parco della Musica hosts a constant stream of classical, popular, and jazz music, featuring national as well as international musicians and groups. Really big names perform outdoors in the summer; usually in either the [[Rome/North|Olympic Stadium]] or in Stadio Flaminio, which is next door to the Parco della Musica. In winter the Palalotto in [[Rome/South|EUR]] is an important pop concert venue. : To get full details of what is on, buy a copy of the ''La Repubblica'' newspaper on Thursdays, when it has an insert called ''TrovaRoma''. There are a couple of pages in English but even with no Italian you should be able to decipher the main listings. This is not published in late July and August, when half of Rome heads to the beach. Both ''La Repubblica'' and ''Il Messaggero'' have daily listings. * Walk and feel the energy of Rome; sights are everywhere waiting to be discovered. * Walk or cycle along the banks of the Tiber. There are steps down to the river from close to most of the bridges. A few have special runners for cycle wheels. This gets you away from the traffic fumes and gives a different perspective of Rome. Not usually possible in winter when water levels can be very high. * Explore the Trastevere neighbourhood for some great cafes and trattorie, and a glimpse at a hip Roman neighbourhood. * '''Watch football''' ie soccer. The city has two teams playing in Serie A, the top tier of Italian football, AS Roma and SS Lazio. They share the Stadio Olimpico, capacity 70,000, in the north of the city. Matches between the two teams are known as the ''Derby della Capitale'', and are extremely charged affairs, with crowd violence being a regular occurrence, sometimes even resulting in fatal stabbings. ===Events=== * {{listing | type=do | name=Estate Romana Festival | alt=Roman Summer Festival | url=http://www.estateromana.comune.roma.it/ | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q3733371 | content=From late June through early September offers various musical events of jazz, rock, and classical music, and film, sport, theater and children’s fun. }} * {{do | name=White Night (Notte Bianca) | alt= | url=http://lanottebianca.it/?pagina=homepage_en&Nascosto=&IdLingua=2 | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=In early to mid-September, various events until dawn, plus shops and restaurants, museums stay open while the Roman Notte Bianca stages music, dance and theater events.

The event includes live music, cultural and literary meetings. }} ==Learn== Rome is replete with foreign language and cultural institutions. Of course, learning Italian is a worthwhile activity if you plan to stay for any length of time. If you plan to combine a stay in Rome with academic study, there are several English-language universities. * The regional government and two historical societies are offering '''[mailto:ilregnodicamelot@libero.it free Latin classes]''' to tourists. * The Historical Group of Rome runs a '''[http://gsr-roma.com/english/gladiatori/ gladiator school]'''. 18 Via Appia Antica. ==Work== If you want to work ask around at the hostels, hotels and restaurants. There are differing views on how easy it is to get a job in Rome, however. There is high unemployment and most jobs seem to go on a family - friends - other Romans - other Italians - white EU - other foreigners pecking order. Knowing Italian helps. And be wary about making any financial commitments before you've actually been paid -- late and non-payment is common here, and you may find as a non-Roman you are more likely to be seen as an easy target for this. You will also need a permesso di soggiorno, whether or not you are an EU resident. Legally, you are required to have a working visa, although it is very easy to work and live without one. There are numerous schools to teach the English language in Rome and if you are a mother-tongue this may be the best opportunity of picking up part-time work. ==Talk== In Rome, obviously, the population speaks '''[[Italian]]'''. The road signs are mostly in Italian (except for "STOP"). If you are staying in the city there are plenty of English alternatives to be found. Seeing as Rome is a popular place to visit there are maps and information in many languages available. Police officers and transit drivers are more than willing to help you get around and usually provide easier ways to get around. Some residents still speak the ancient local dialect, ''Romanesco''; nowadays, however, Italian is the more common mother tongue. '''English''' is widely spoken in Rome by the younger generations and by people working in the tourist industry. Since many people have a limited knowledge of English, it is wise to speak slowly and simply. Among 40+s the chance is a lot less, and with 60+s as good as zero. '''Romance languages''' other than Italian, especially Spanish, Portuguese and French, are also fairly widely understood due to their similarity to Italian, although not necessarily spoken. ==Buy== [[Image:Mercato di Campo di Fiori Open Market, Rome - 1851.jpg|thumb|250px|Snapshot of a Roman market]] Rome has excellent shopping opportunities of all kinds - from clothing and jewellery to art and antiques. You also get some big department stores, outlets and shopping centres, notably in the suburbs and outskirts. Main '''shopping areas''' include Via del Corso, Via Condotti, and the surrounding streets. The finest designer stores are around Via Condotti, whilst Via del Corso has more affordable clothing, and Via Cola di Rienzo, and the surroundings of Via del Tritone, Campo de'Fiori, and Pantheon are the places to go for cheaper items. Upim is a good shop for cheap clothing of workable quality. Some brands (like Miss Sixty and Furla) are excellent, some are not as good - be sure to feel garments and try them on. There are also great quality shoes and leather bags at prices that compare well with the UK and US. Clothes in sizes bigger than a UK size 16/US 12 aren't always easy to find. Children's clothing can be expensive with basic vests (tank tops) costing as much as €21 in non-designer shops. If you really need to buy clothiers for kids try the ''Oviesse'' chain. Summer sales in many stores begin around July 15 and Rome also has New Year sales. As mentioned above, Via Condotti is Rome's top haute couture fashion street (equivalent of Fifth Avenue in New York City, Via Montenapoleone in Milan, or Bond Street in London). Here, you can find big brand names such as Gucci, Armani, Dior, Valentino and Hermès, and several other high-class shops. However, the streets around the Via Condotti, such as Via Frattina, Via del Babuino, Via Borgognona and the Piazza di Spagna also offer some excellent high fashion boutiques, including Roberto Cavalli, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Prada and Givenchy (and several others). So once in the city, the big boutique names aren't absent. In these luxurious streets, however, you needn't only do clothing shopping - there are some really good and funky jewellery (e.g. Bulgari, Cartier, Tiffany's & Co.), pen and accessory (i.e. Mont Blanc) and artsy stores peppered here and there in these streets. For department stores, Milan-based luxury department store chain '''[https://www.rinascente.it/en/ La Rinascente]''' has two flagship branches in Rome; one along Via de Tritone, near the Trevi Fountain, in which you can see the Roman aqueduct carrying water to the Trevi Fountain in the basement, and the other one on Piazza Fiume. If you want to spend a day in a '''large shopping mall''', there's the Euroma2 with about 230 shops (mainly clothes and accessories) and restaurants, to be found near the EUR district. Take Metro B line from Termini to EUR Palasport station, cross the road and take the frequent free bus (ride takes 5–15 minutes) to the mall. In addition to many shops and food, the conditioned air and free toilets may be a welcome relief if you are in Rome during mid-summer. There are lots of fake plastic 'Louis Vuitton' bags being sold at the side of the road. Be aware, that buying of fake products is illegal in Italy. Fines up to €1000 have been reported. If you are happy to take the risk, make sure you haggle; unsuspecting tourists pay up to €60 for them. If you want to buy souvenirs or gifts, a museum would be the worst choice since there are many stalls along the streets of touristic areas that offer reasonable prices. It is likely that the same item in the gift shop of any museum will cost much more. ====Factory outlets==== * {{buy | name=Castel Romano | alt= | url=https://www.mcarthurglen.com/it/castel-romano-designer-outlet/en/ | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=Near Rome, along the Via Pontina highway.

Valmontone itself is a delightful little town - 30 mins by train. }} ==Eat== {{SeeDistricts}} Rome is full of good restaurants, many in attractive settings, particularly when you sit outside in the evening. No one location can be recommended to search for a good restaurant: some of the best places to eat are in the most unpromising locations while well-situated restaurants can often live on their reputation rather than the quality of their food. Restaurants in guidebooks can be good but prices can be inflated because it is more than likely a "tourist trap". To find an authentic restaurant that won't break the bank, try to find a place in a more residential area or somewhere that isn't in the middle of the tourist locations. {{infobox|Eat like a Roman|In Rome you can ask for: *'''Carciofi alla romana''' - Artichokes, Roman style *'''Carciofi alla giudia''' - Artichokes, Jewish style *'''Puntarelle''' - Chicory salad *'''Bucatini all'amatriciana''' - A pasta dish made with guanciale (cured pork cheeks), pecorino romano and tomatoes *'''Spaghetti''' ''(or Rigatoni)'' '''alla carbonara''' - A sauce made with egg and pancetta (bacon) *'''Abbacchio a "scottadito"''' - Lamb chops *'''Scaloppine alla romana''' - Veal sautéed with fresh baby artichokes *'''Coda alla vaccinara''' - Oxtail stew *'''Cornetto & cappuccino''' - Sweet pastry and coffee *'''Pizza a taglio''' - Pizza by the slice *'''Panino''' - Italian sandwich *'''Trippa alla romana''' - Tripe in a sauce based on tomatoes, onions, garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, wine or vinegar, etc. *'''Fiori di zucca fritti''' - Deep-fried zucchini flowers }} Many of the good restaurants in Rome are hard to find, but a good tip is to go where Italians live and eat. The downside is that waitstaff at these restaurants usually do not speak English, so be prepared to have to speak some Italian. On the top of the green, old mountain (Monte Verde Vecchio) there are some trattorias with authentic Italian cuisine at an affordable price. Rome also has many beautiful spots to eat, so buying some delicacies to make up a picnic can be a great experience. In Via Marmorata you find Volpetti's which is known for its amazing selection of cheese, prosciutto and delicious pastries (and also for its prices!). A more affordable choice is to go to a local supermarket which will also have good fresh foods for lunch. === Pizza === Most pizza restaurants serve it only in the evening. Try some of the fried things like baccala (battered salt cod) for a starter, followed by a pizza for a really Roman meal. Roman pizzas tend to be very thin crusted. Avoid the tourist areas where you'll often pay double the going rate just to get a badly reheated frozen pizza. Your best bet is to cross the river and find a restaurant in Trastevere--the food is authentic and a lot cheaper than in the rest of downtown Rome. Make sure you eat it with a fork and knife; Romans don't eat this kind of pizza with their hands. Pizza al Taglio is pizza with a thicker crust, cooked in a large pan. This is served by the piece, usually to take away, and is a good cheap way to get something to fill you up. Point to the one you want, indicate if you want more or less than your server is indicating with the knife. It's sold by weight (the listed price is usually per 100 g, known as an ''etto'', short for ''ettogrammo'', i.e. hectogram). This kind of pizza is eaten with the slices stacked on top of each other like a sandwich. === Ice cream === Look for a ''gelateria''. Remember that it usually costs extra to sit inside. You pay for your ice cream first...take your receipt and go fight your way through the throng to choose your flavors (Italians don't believe in lines). You will be asked "''Panna?''" when it's almost made - this is the offer of whipped cream on top. If you've already paid, this is free. There are a few signs to keep in mind: "''Produzione Propria''" (homemade - our own production), "''Nostra Produzione''" (our production), "''Produzione Artigianale''" (production by craftsmen). If the colours seem dull and almost ugly it is probably natural, the bright colours being just a mix. Keep in mind, Italians usually won't queue, but if they are in line for gelato, get in line yourself: you may have hit the jackpot. Producers to try include [http://ilgelatodisancrispino.it Gelato di San Crispino]; [http://www.giolitti.it Giolitti]; and [http://palazzodelfreddo.it Fassi]. ===Vegetarians=== Vegetarians should have an easy time. Buffets in many restaurants usually have a good range of delicious vegetarian stuff - e.g. gratinated roast peppers/aubergines, etc. '''Vegans''' should do all right too; pizzas don't always have cheese - a Marinara for example, is just tomato, garlic and oregano. ===Kosher dining=== While there is not much choice, at least Rome's Kosher cooking is truly excellent. Try ''La Taverna del Ghetto'' in the heart of the Jewish Quarter. More places can be found near the synagogue in via Padova, close to the "La Sapienza" university and the Bologna underground station. ===Pricing=== <!--This section aims to implement the same structure as an introduction of [[London#Eat]]. Please review that before significantly changing structure of the below text. --> You can get cheap food in Rome, the problem is that if you don't know the city well or are forced to eat out in the centre, the prices go up. * '''€3.50''' - You buy the pizza and eat it walking around, since it's a bread shop with no sitting area. You can choose how much you want to eat, but you'll be spending about €2 per slice + about €1.50 for a can of soda or €1 for water. * '''€15-20''' - At lunchtime if you go to a restaurant you'll be spending between €15 for a set menu (not always good, try to go where you see Italian office people having their lunch as your best bet) and €20. For this you should get a pasta dish and a second course (meat) ending with coffee. Obviously if you have special wine the price will increase. * '''€20''' - At night you can spend about €20 at a pizza restaurant or if you have only one main course. Again, if you have special wine it will cost more. The cheapest food you can get at a decent restaurant is a pizza marinara (that is, without cheese) for about €6. The price goes up from there depending on the toppings. * '''€20+''' - For a sit down lunch or dinner in a restaurant €20 is cheap and if you want you can go up to €200 a head. Chinese restaurants are still quite cheap but other ethnic restaurants (Thai, Indian) are generally expensive (think €30 upwards per person). Sushi is very expensive (€40 minimum per person). Waiters have been known to take advantage of patrons by bringing more expensive items than what was ordered or asking for a tip although it's not mandatory and should be included in the price by law. ==Drink== {{SeeDistricts}} === Coffee === Starbucks has so far avoided Rome. And no wonder: Italian coffee is great so our friends from Seattle would face a lot of competition. A ''latte'' in Italian is just a glass of milk. If you're expecting coffee in that glass, you should ask for a ''caffe latte''. A ''latte macchiato'' (meaning "marked") is steamed milk stained with a smaller shot of espresso. "Espresso" or "normale" is just that, but more commonly just referred to as ''caffe''. ''Espresso doppio'' means a double shot of espresso, while ''espresso macchiato'' is espresso 'marked' with a dab of steamed milk. ''Americano'' — the one to order if you like filter coffee — is espresso diluted with hot water and not drunk much by Italians. ''Cappuccino'' is well known outside of Italy, but be warned: it is considered very un-classy, and somewhat childish, to order one after 11AM (and certainly after a meal). ''Decaffeinato'' is self-explanatory, but often referred to by the common brand-name ''Caffe Hag''. ===Wine and water=== '''House wines''' are almost always drinkable and inexpensive (unlike, say, in the UK). You are better off ordering a bottle rather than house wine in most establishments in Rome due to some places watering down their wines. You may often find a bottle of wine on the table for you. Believe it or not: this bottle will be less expensive than a glass would be in the US or UK, possibly only €4 or €5. This does not always apply to those places that look really tourist-trap-like! Slightly better quality wines are usually sold at a relatively small mark-up on shop prices. Most Romans drink water with their meals. In restaurants it normally comes in 1 litre bottles and can be had ''normale'' (still water) or ''gassata'' (carbonated water). Water is free at designated '''water fountains''', called "nasone" (big nose). Some of these date back to ancient times, and the water is still very good. It's fresh spring water coming from the famous underground springs of Rome and is safe to drink. If you carry an empty bottle, fill it up for the rest of the day. Look for the drinking fountain with constant running water, plug the bottom hole, and cool water will shoot up from a smaller hole on top of the tap. Don't put your lips round the hole at the bottom, as stray dogs tend to like to get a drink. ===Before dinner=== Pre-dinner drinks (''aperitivi'') accompanied with small hors d'oeuvres (antipasti) are very popular with Romans: 1) chic yuppies in their 20s-30s crowd the area around '''Piazza delle Coppelle''' (behind the Parliament) and '''Piazza di Pietra''' (near the Chamber of Commerce); 2) younger generations sprawl around the square and streets of '''Campo de' Fiori'''; 3) everyone sits to drink in the narrow streets behind the Pantheon ('''Piazza Pasquino''' and '''Via del Governo Vecchio'''). ===Clubbing & Night Life=== [[Image:Campo del fiori.jpg|thumb|250px|''Campo de' Fiori'' is a popular drinking spot]] Given a heart for exploration, '''Testaccio''' is the place to wander for after-dinner partying on the weekends. Head down there around 23:00 (take metro Line B and get off at ''Piramide'' station) and listen for music. There are usually loads of people simply walking through the streets or looking for parking. Be brave, walk in, meet some wonderful Romans. This area is best in the winter. In the summer, the dancing moves to Ostia and Fregene, 45 minutes by car from Rome, at the seaside. Many clubs in Rome close in the summer months. Many visitors like to go on Roman pub crawls. The [http://colosseumteam.com/ Colosseum Pub Crawl] for example, has been throwing parties since 1999. To the east of '''Termini Station''', and near the first University of Rome "La Sapienza", is the '''San Lorenzo''' district, where you will find many pubs and clubs where university students and young Romans in their twenties spend their nights. On Saturday night the streets are crowded with people moving from one pub to another. On the city side of the railway, near Santa Maria Maggiore Cathedral, are some great Irish pubs, i.e. the [http://thefiddlerselbow.com/ Fiddler's Elbow], the oldest in Rome, where many English-speaking residents and Italian customers like to sip their pints. It's a good place to meet Romans who speak English. Also nearby are the [http://druidspubrome.com/ Druid's Den and the Druid's Rock] . On '''Via Nazionale''' there's a huge and beautiful pub called The ''[http://flannobrien.it/ Flann o'Brien]'', one of the biggest in Rome. On the same street near '''Piazza Venezia''' there is another cluster of pubs including ''The [http://nagshead.it/ Nag's Head Scottish Pub]''. After 22.00 it's very expensive as it becomes more like a disco. Entrance with first drink costs €13 and drinks cost €8. Before midnight they sometimes host live music concerts. In the same area, at the beginning of Via Vittorio Emanuele II you can find ''[http://scholarsloungerome.com/ The Scholar's Lounge Irish pub]'' with nice music. This is definitely worth a look but there is no room to dance. During winter American colleges students residents in Rome end up their highly alcoholic nights here. Also nearby there's the ''[http://trinity-rome.com/ Trinity College Irish Pub]''. Drinks are quite expensive there. Also on Via Vittorio Emanuele, near '''Piazza Navona''', there's the ''Bulldog's Inn English pub''. DJs play very good music there and there's room to dance, although few do. Nearby in ''Campo dei fiori'' there are several crowded pubs. Beware, there have been huge and serious fights there. In the narrow streets behind Piazza Navona there are also many places to go. Try ''Jonathan's Angels'' in Via del Fico. Also the ''[http://abbey-rome.com/ Abbey Theatre Irish pub]'' is a good place in Via del Governo Vecchio. On the other side of the River Tiber (Tevere) is '''Trastevere''' district where there are many places to eat and drink. This is also a good place where to enjoy a walk in crowded streets at night. In summer time on ''Isola Tiberina'', the island in the Tiber, temporary bar are built and there are all sorts of things to do. '''Far from the centre''' there are some other good places. The ''Palacavicchi'' in a small suburban town called Ciampino is a multi-dance room area where they play different kinds of music, mostly Latin American. You definitely need to get a cab to get there and it won't cost less than €20. South of Ciampino Airport there is ''[http://iceclubroma.it/ The Ice Club]'' for ice skating, and the ''[http://kirbysgarden.it/ Kirby's]'' and the ''Geronimo'' pubs. All of them are nice places. At the ''[http://geronimospub.com/ Geronimo]'' pub before midnight there usually are live music concerts with many bands covering different genres. On Friday and Saturday nights after the concert they play disco music. Entrance is free and you may drink and eat as you feel. Very cool place and for every budget. Unfortunately you need a cab to get there. Those Romans who speak fluent English usually have a great deal of confidence with tourists, so just offer them a beer and they will be glad to share with you their tip & tricks about night life in Rome. Discos: There are many beautiful discos. Unfortunately the city is huge and it's not very easy to find them, unless you have a very good guide. The best way to start is from the most established ones: Piper, Gilda, Alien, all of them run by the [http://midra.it/ Midra Srl]. Their website is nothing to write home about but can be used to discover telephone numbers and addresses. ''Gilda'' is near the Spanish Steps, and the others not too far from Termini station. During summer they close to move to the seaside of Fregene (north of Fiumicino and Ostia) where ''Gilda on the Beach'' can be found. A pint of beer in pubs usually costs around €6, entrance in discos around €20 with first drink included. Drinks in discos cost around €10. ===Gay travellers=== One of the places to be on Friday nights is '''Giardino delle Rose''' in via Casilina Vecchia 1 (rather central but reachable only by taxi): a luxurious garden with open-air bars and tables. Two large discos are '''Mucca Assassina''' in via del Gazometro and '''Classico''' in via Ostiense. During the week the main meeting place after dinner is '''Coming Out''' (a bar right in front of the Colosseum) where crowds of gay Romans and tourists gather in and outside, all year round but overwhelmingly crowded during the summer or late-night clubs such as '''Hangar''' in Via in Selci (Metro Line A, get off at ''Manzoni'' station). The best sauna (open 24 hours during week ends) is Europa Multiclub in via Aureliana (behind Piazza Esedra, Metro Line A ''Repubblica'' station). A meeting spot for gays day and (especially) night is '''Monte Caprino''', the park on the Palatine hill behind the City Hall (Piazza Venezia) with spectacular views over the temples and ruins of ancient Rome. ==Sleep== {{SeeDistricts}} [[Image:Saint Peter's Basilica, Sant'Angelo bridge, by night, Rome, Italy.jpg|thumb|318px|Rome by night]] The area to the southwest of Termini railway station has numerous large hotels; these are used in particular by groups and coach parties. On the other side of the station are many smaller, fairly inexpensive, hotels that are popular with individual travellers. Perhaps the best choice for a first-time visitor is to stay right downtown, (such as [[Rome/Old Rome|near the Pantheon]]). Most attractions are walking distance from there, and you will save much transportation time and leave more for enjoying the city. Hotels in the downtown area are costly, but a good apartment is a decent alternative, especially for couples and if you don't mind cooking yourself from time to time: it will save even more of your budget. Offering of short term apartment rentals is enormous. Many apartments can be booked directly through the owner, but most owners make arrangements via rental agencies, both large and small. When looking for a hotel or an apartment in Rome, take note that the price of accommodations varies significantly from month to month, depending on the typical number of tourists. Always check prices at your accommodation for your specific dates. Being as it is one of the world's most popular tourist destinations, there are many choices as to where to stay, and you will have the choice of whatever type of accommodation you wish. {{infobox|Warning! Rome hotel touts|This Rome guide is heavily frequented by business owners keen on adding their own hotel or rental agency. While the worst of them are removed on a regular basis, you should always check other reviews before committing. Many unscrupulous hotel owners are also busy creating false reviews of their accommodation on sites like Tripadvisor and Hotels.com - so tread carefully!}} Rome's city council levies an accommodation tax. This is €2 per night per person for campsites up to three-star hotels and €6 a night for four- and five-star hotels. This fee can only be paid in cash, and is supposed to be for the restoration of Rome's crumbling ruins.

As for most every place in Italy, just be polite and you won't have much trouble. If you hit someone with your luggage or shoulder while walking on a street, say "sorry" (''Mi scusi''): despite being very busy, Rome is not London or New York and going ahead is considered bad behaviour, while a little apology will be satisfactory. In buses or trains, let older people have your seat if there's no space available. The gesture will be appreciated. Romans, and Italians as well, are very chaotic while in a queue, and often "clump" without any particular order: It's considered unpolite, but they do it anyway. Be careful while driving, as Romans often drive frantically and bend the rules to cope with the heavy traffic. ==Stay safe== [[File:An Italian Carabiniere in Monte Gianicolo, Rome - 3448.jpg|thumb|right|An Italian Carabiniere at guard duty in Monte Gianicolo]] Rome is generally a safe place, even for women traveling alone. However, there have been rape cases around the Roma Termini train station, so be careful especially at night time. There is very little violent crime, but plenty of scams and pickpocketing that target tourists. As in any other big city, it is better if you '''don't look like a tourist''': don't exhibit your camera to all and sundry, and keep your money in a safe place. Consciousness and vigilance are your best insurances for avoiding becoming a victim of a crime in Rome. Remember, if you are pickpocketed or victim of another scam, don't be afraid to shout, "Aiuto, al ladro!" (''Help, Thief!'') Romans will not be nice to the thief. Members of the Italian public are likely to be sympathetic if you are a crime victim. Police are also generally friendly if not always helpful. Carabinieri (black uniform, red striped trousers) are military police, and Polizia (blue and grey uniform) are civilians, but they both do essentially the same thing and are equally good, or bad. If you are robbed, try to find a police station and report it. This is essential to establishing a secure insurance claim and to replace documents: the chances of it resulting in the return of your possessions are, however, fairly remote. Rome is home to two rival Serie A '''football''' (soccer) clubs, A.S. Roma and S.S. Lazio, and there is a history of conflict, and even rioting, between the two. Never wear anything that shows that you support either of them, especially during the Rome Derby (when the two clubs play each other, known in Italian as the ''Derby della Capitale''): avoid even wandering into groups of supporters of the other club, or you may be subject to heckling or even confrontation. Play it safe and refrain from openly supporting either club unless you are very familiar with the rivalry. If you are a fan of a foreign team that is playing in Rome, '''be very careful''' as a number of supporters have been stabbed over the past few years. Rome has its fair share of odd people: talkative panhandlers, crazy taxi drivers, lonely people wanting to just have a chat with strangers, people trying to sell you things, and so on. If you don't want to acknowledge anyone, do what most Italian people do: completely ignore them, shoo them off, or simply say you don't have anything to give to them or you are not interested. ===Pickpocketing=== Since Rome is incredibly popular as a tourist destination, a great deal of pickpocketing and bag or purse snatching takes place, especially in crowded locations, and pickpocketers in Rome can get pretty crafty. A 2010 study found that Rome was second only to [[Barcelona]] for pickpocketing of tourists. As a rule, you should pretty much '''never carry anything very valuable in any outside pocket''', especially the front pocket of your pants is one of the easiest and most common targets. Keeping your wallet in your front pocket or in your bag is far from safe. You should consider using a money belt and carry only the cash for the day in your pocket. Pickpocketing on the Metro is rife in the form of gangs of young girls (8 to 12 years old) who jump on the trains just as they are about to leave. They buffet you and have bags to hide where their hands are. You have been warned! Also, beware of thieves—one popular technique that they use is to ride by you on a moped, slice the strap of a handbag with a knife, and ride off. They might also try to cut the bottom of your bag open and pick your wallet from the ground. Others will use the old trick of one person trying to distract you (asking for a cigarette or doing a strange dance) while another thief picks your pockets from behind. Bands of beggar kids will sometimes crowd you and reach for your pockets under the cover of newspapers or cardboard sheets. It is generally a good idea to be extremely wary of any strange person who gets too close to you, even in a crowd. If someone is in your personal space, shove the person away. As one frequent traveller put it, "Don't be afraid to be a dick in Rome." It is better to be rude than to be stolen from. Termini (the main railway station), Esquilino, bus line 64 (Termini to San Pietro), and the Trevi fountain are well known for pickpockets, so take extra care in these areas. On the Metro especially, pickpockets are extremely skilled. Remember that hotel rooms are ''not'' safe places for valuables; if your room has no safe, give your valuables to the hotel staff for safekeeping. Even if it does have a safe, hotels normally warn that they have no liability unless items are deposited in the main safe. Be wary while boarding or getting off the metro/train, especially if doors are about to close/closing. Thieves pretend to be helpful by pressing the 'door open' button for you, and while you gratefully squeeze into the train and catch your breath, they'll sidle up to you and pick your pocket or dip into your handbag or purse. Be aware of the danger and take the usual precautions and you should be all right. ===Tourist scams=== Being one of the most visited cities in the world, '''[[common scams|tourist scams]]''' are rampant in Rome. Many of the more well-aware Italians are quite ashamed of this. As obvious as it may sound, do not acknowledge people you don't know, and more importantly, do not tell them about who you are; you don't know what they're capable of doing. A particular scam is when some plainclothes police will approach you, asking to look for "drug money," or ask to see your passport. This is a scam to take your money. You can scare them by asking for their ID. Guardia di Finanza (the grey uniformed ones) do customs work. Another scam involves men working near the Spanish Steps, around Piazza Navona, and outside of the Colosseum. They approach you, asking where you are from, and begin to tie bracelets around your wrists. When they are done they will try to charge you upwards of €20 for each bracelet. If anyone makes any attempt to reach for your hand, retract quickly. If you get trapped, you can refuse to pay, but this may not be wise if there are not many people around. Carry small bills or just change, in your wallet, so if you find yourself in cornered to pay for the bracelet, you can convince them that €1 or €2 is all you have. When taking a '''taxi''', be sure to remember license number written on the card door. In seconds, people have had a taxi bill risen by €10 or even more. When giving money to taxi driver, be careful. Be careful of '''con-men''' who may approach you at tourist sights such as the Colosseum or Circus Maximus. A car may pull up next to you, and the driver asks you for directions to the Vatican. He will strike up a conversation with you while he sits in his car and tell you he is a sales representative for a large French fashion house. He will then tell that you he likes you and he would like to give you a gift of a coat worth several thousand euros. As you reach inside his car to take the bag the coat is in, he will ask you for €200 for gas, as his car is nearly empty. Around tourist sites like the Trevi Fountain, Colosseum and the Spanish Steps there are groups mostly of men trying to sell cheap souvenirs. They may also carry roses and say they are giving you a gift because they like you, but the minute you take their 'gift' they demand money. They are often very insistent and often the only way to get rid of them is to be plain rude. Do the best you can to not take their "gifts" as they will follow you around asking for money. Simply saying "no" or "go away" will get them off your back until the next vendor comes up to you. Be wary of '''ticket touts''' outside popular tourist attractions such as the Colosseum. A large bulk of ticket touts hail from [[South Asia]] and some of them even claim to be working as "staff members". A genuine staff member at an attraction you are visiting '''will never''' ask you to pay heaps of money just to skip the crowd, tell you inaccurate information about the place you are visiting, and so on. These touts are simply looking for ways to waste your time and fleece your money. Be warned that some of them can be quite pushy, so don't feel the need to be polite if you are being pestered by a tout. As a general rule, only buy tickets from official venues and always check the website (if they have one) of the place you intend to visit. As a tourist, you can do your part in making Rome an even better place by reporting these touts to the right authorities. Be careful and wary of people who sell you '''fake products''' on the streets. Quite ever so often you may run into people (usually recent immigrants from [[South Asia]] and [[Africa]]) selling fake products (purses, toys, and the like) on the streets. Under Italian law, it is '''illegal''' to purchase counterfeit goods and you can incur heavy fines for doing so. The people who sell you these fake products know it is illegal to sell fake products, but they do it anyways to make a living. Only buy from reputed stores. Be wary of places to change currency. Read ALL signs before changing money. Oftentimes places set up just for currency exchange will add as much as a 20% service fee on all money being traded. The shops near the Vatican have especially high service fees, whereas places near the Trevi Fountain will be more reasonable. The best bet is to change enough money before you leave your home country. There are few places around the city that are under the table and are just interested in American money. These places charge no service fee. ===Emergencies=== In an emergency, call 112 (Carabinieri), 113 (Police), 118 (medical first aid) or 115 (firemen). Carry the address of your embassy or consulate. On anything else you may need for your Rome holiday, you can contact the official help line of the Minister of Tourism 039.039.039. From Monday to Sunday, from 9.00 to 22.00, in seven languages seven days a week. ==Cope== * '''Police'''. To report [[theft]] you should generally go to the Carabinieri station nearest where the theft occurred. Ask people at the scene of the crime where to go. * '''Left Luggage Termini'''. You can leave luggage at Termini but they have a lot of security and only one X-ray machine so there can be a +100 people queue. It costs about €4 per bag (of any size) for the first 5 hours, €0.80 per bag for each hour thereafter. There's a sign limiting bags to 20&nbsp;kg each, but no facility for weighing them, so it's probably not enforced. * '''Splashnet laundry, internet, left luggage''', Via Varesi 33, 100 m west of Termini. €2 per luggage left (and 15 min of internet included). ===Embassies=== * {{flag|Afghanistan}} {{listing | name=Afghanistan | url=http://www.afghanistanembassyitaly.com/ | email= | address=Via Nomentana 120 phone= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax=+39 06 86322939 | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Australia}} {{listing | name=Australia | url=http://italy.embassy.gov.au/ | email= | address=Via Antonio Bosio 5 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 06 85 2721 | tollfree= | fax=+39 06 85 272 300 | hours=M-F 08:30-16:00 | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Austria}} {{listing | name=Austria | url=http://austria.it/ | email= | address=Via Pergolesi 3 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 068440141 | tollfree= | fax=+39 06 85 43286 | hours=M-F 09:00-12:00 | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Azerbaijan}} {{listing | name=Azerbaijan | url= http://rome.mfa.gov.az | email= rome@mission.mfa.gov.az | address=Viale Regina Margherita 1, 2 piano, 00198 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 06 85 30 55 57 | tollfree= | fax=+39 06 85 83 14 48 | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Brazil}} {{listing | name=Brazil | url=http://www.ambasciatadelbrasile.it/ | email=consulado@brasilroma.it.com | address=Piazza Navona, 14 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 06 683-981 | tollfree= | fax=+39 06 6880 2883 | hours=M-F 09:00-17:00 | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Bulgaria}} {{listing | name=Bulgaria | url=http://bulemb.it/ | email=embassy@bulemb.it | address=Via Pietro Polo Rubens 21 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 06 322 46 40, +39 06 322 46 43 | tollfree= | fax=+39 06 322 61 22 | hours=M-F 09:00-17:00 | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Canada}} {{listing | name=Canada | alt= | url=http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/italy-italie/index.aspx?lang=eng | email= | address=Via Zara 30 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 06 44598 1 | tollfree= | fax=+39 06 44598 2905 | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{flag|China}} {{listing | name=China | url=http://it.chineseembassy.org | email= | address=Via Bruxelles 56 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 06 8413458 | tollfree= | fax=+39 06 85352891 | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Croatia}} {{listing | name=Croatia | url=http://it.mvp.hr/ | email=vrhrim@mvpei.hr | address=Via Luigi Bodio 74/76 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 06 363 07650 | tollfree= | fax=+39 06 3630 3405 | hours=M-F 09:30-12:30 | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Denmark}} {{listing | name=Denmark | alt= | url=http://italien.um.dk/ | email=romamb@um.dk | address=Via dei Monti Parioli 50 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 06 9774 831 | tollfree= | fax=+39 06 9774 8399 | hours=M-F 08:00-17:30 | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Egypt}} {{listing | name=Egypt | url=http://www.mfa.gov.eg/english/embassies/Egyptian_Embassy_Rome/Pages/default.aspx | email=ambegitto@yahoo.com | address=Via Salaria 267 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 06 8440-1976 | tollfree= | fax=+39 06 855-4424 | hours=M-F 09:00-17:00 | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Estonia}} {{listing | name=Estonia | alt= | url=https://rome.mfa.ee/ | email=embassy.rome@mfa.ee | address=Via Clitunno 34-36 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 06 844 075 10 | tollfree= | fax=+39 06 844 075 19 | hours=M-F 09:00-12:00 | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Finland}} {{listing | name=Finland | url=http://finland.it | email=sanomat.roo@formin.fi | address=Ambasciata di Finlandia, Via Lisbona 3 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 06 852 231 | tollfree= | fax=+39 06 854 0362 | hours=M-F 08:00-17:30 | price= | content= }} * {{flag|France}} {{listing | name=France | url=http://ambafrance-it.org/ | email= | address=Piazza Farnese 67 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 066 86011 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Germany}} {{listing | name=Germany | url=http://rom.diplo.de/ | email=info@rom.diplo.de | address=Ambasciata di Germania, Via San Martino della Battaglia 4 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 06 49 213-1 | tollfree= | fax=+39 06 445 26 72 | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{flag|Greece}} {{listing | name=Greece | alt= | url=https://www.mfa.gr/italy/it/the-embassy/ | email=gremroma@tin.it | address=Viale G.

This town has been a popular destination for centuries away from the hustle and bustle of the capital, and this is still true today. Famous worldwide for its white wine, Frascati is a relaxed hill town with a slower pace of life. Just {{km|21}} from Rome, Frascati is accessible by bus or train. Trains run from Roma Termini approximately every hour, take about 30 minutes, and cost around €2. Also in the Castelli is [[Castel Gandolfo]], the summer residence of the Pope. The town overlooks Lake Albano, a popular weekend trip for Romans in the summer. Also accessible by bus and train but there are several interesting towns and villages in the Castelli so hiring a car for the day would be well-rewarded. ** Head to [[Ostia|Ostia Antica]], the ancient harbor and military colony of Rome. It is accessible by Metro every 30 minutes from Stazione Piramide (near the Pyramid). It is a monumental area a bit like the Colosseum district, but in Ostia Antica you can get an impression how a Roman city really looked. ** Consider a day trip to [[Tivoli]] to see the Villa d'Este with its famous and glorious fountains. Check out the Emperor Hadrian's Villa while you are out there. Hourly trains from Tiburtina; fewer on Sundays. ** Understand the Second World War in Italy by visiting the [[Anzio]] beachhead area, the landing museum at Anzio and [[Monte Cassino]]. ** [[Canterano]], a picturesque village with strange legends just a few km away. ** [[Civitavecchia]], the port of Rome, is the point of arrival and departure of hundreds of ships, cruises, and ferries travelling all around the Mediterranean. From here it is possible to reach [[Sardinia]], [[Corsica]], [[Sicily]], [[Spain]], [[France]], some other small islands, and even north [[Africa]]. A good transportation system links the port to the Eternal City, e.g., see "Get in" "By train" above. * [[Viterbo (province)]] is the northern part of Lazio. ** Explore the Etruscan sites of [[Tarquinia]] and [[Vulci]]. ** Discover the papal city of [[Viterbo]], well-known medieval and thermal destination (about 1 and half hours from Rome) * '''Palestrina''' is a centre {{km|40}} from Rome, rich in archaeological remains from the Roman time. Among the things to see: the '''Pagan Temple of the Goddess " Fortuna "''', the '''National Archaeological Museum''' (housed in the Renaissance Palazzo Barberini), the '''Roman Forum''' and the '''Nilotic Mosaic'''. * [[Campania]] is the coastal region south of Lazio. ** Visit [[Naples]] and the famed islands in its gulf, [[Capri]], [[Ischia]] and [[Procida]]. Naples is 1 hour away by high speed train. ** Especially if you have a rail pass, making [[Pompeii]] a day trip, while it is a very full day, is very doable. To reach Pompeii from Rome will take about 3 hours. ===By air=== Rome has ultra-low-cost flights to destinations in Italy, to several European countries and to [[Egypt]], [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], [[Israel]], [[Armenia]], [[Jordan]] and [[Morocco]].

Before planning a visit, look up the current details.|lastedit=2021-11-28}} Vatican is a district of Rome measuring 225.2 hectares, it encompasses the 49 hectares '''[http://www.vaticanstate.va/ Vatican City State]''' (Italian: ''Stato della Città del Vaticano''; Latin: ''Status Civitatis Vaticanae''), as well as the surrounding Roman neighbourhoods of '''Borgo''' (48.77 hectares) and '''Prati''' (127.43 hectares). St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel are all in Vatican City. This tiny country completely within [[Rome]] is packed with more history and artwork than most cities in the world, and indeed many countries. == Understand == The '''Vatican City''' is the temporal seat of the Pope, head of the worldwide Catholic Church. Situated ''within'' the city of [[Rome]], the Vatican is the world's smallest sovereign state. You may also hear the term '''Holy See''' (Italian: ''Santa Sede''; Latin: ''Sancta Sedes''), which is used to refer to the Diocese of Rome—that is, the ecclesiastical and administrative authority of the Pope, rather than the sovereign governmental entity that is the Vatican City State. === History === Vatican City is all that remains of the Papal States, the former temporal land holdings of the Pope. Over the years, this territory varied considerably in extent, and may be traced back to AD 756 with the "Donation of Pepin". However, the popes had been the de facto rulers of Rome and the surrounding province since the fall of the [[Roman Empire]] and the retreat of Byzantine power in Italy. Popes in their secular role ruled portions of the Italian peninsula for more than a thousand years until the mid 19th century, when many of the Papal States were seized by the newly united Kingdom of Italy. In 1870, the pope's holdings were further circumscribed when Rome was annexed. Disputes between a series of "prisoner" popes and Italy were resolved in 1929 by three Lateran Treaties, which established the independent state of Vatican City, granted Roman Catholicism special status in Italy, recognised the full sovereignty of the Vatican and established its territorial extent. In 1984, the agreement was revised to eliminate Catholicism's position as the only state religion of Italy, but the essential features of the agreement remain in force today. ==== Diplomacy ==== The Holy See — the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church which is housed in Vatican City — has diplomatic recognition from the overwhelming majority of countries in the world and has permanent observer status in numerous international organisations, including the United Nations General Assembly. Although there are Papal nuncios (equivalent to ambassadors) in many foreign capitals, due to its limited size the Vatican does not house any diplomatic missions; instead, foreign embassies to the Holy See are based in other parts of Rome. This means that Italy hosts its own Embassy of Italy to the Holy See. According to an agreement between the Holy See and Italy, foreign missions to Italy are not allowed to double as missions to the Holy See. Therefore, many countries have two embassies in Rome: one to Italy and another to the Holy See. Other countries that maintain diplomatic relations with the Holy See but don't have a second embassy in Rome have their missions in another country (usually in [[Bern]], [[Switzerland]]) double as representatives to the Holy See. === Terrain === The Vatican is between 19 m (62 ft) and 75 m (246 ft) above sea level. With a perimeter of only 3.2&nbsp;km (2 mi), the Vatican City is not just the smallest country in the world, it's smaller than some shopping malls! Most of the area consists of the [[#Do|Vatican Gardens]]. === Population === Although 1,000 people live within Vatican City, many dignitaries, priests, nuns, guards, and 3,000 lay workers live outside the Vatican. It has about 800 citizens, making it the smallest nation by population on the globe. The Vatican fields a soccer team composed of members of the Swiss Guard, who hold dual citizenship. === Read === * ''Inside the Vatican'' by Bart McDowell. A light run-through of the history of the Vatican, with a particular focus on some of the recent popes. It is illustrated with extensive photographs of the going-ons in this tiny country. == Get in == [[Image:Vatican-map.png|thumb|600px|Map of the Vatican District]] Although the Vatican City is an independent country, it '''does not''' issue visas or residency permits to visitors and it has open borders with [[Italy]]. Since [[Italy]] is a part of the [[Schengen area]], you must have a Schengen visa (if you are required to get one, that is) to enter Italy. If you are able to access the Schengen area visa-free, all the more merrier. === By taxi or foot === It's easy to get to the Vatican by taxi or foot from Rome. There are 3 road entrances to Vatican City: from Via della Stazione Vaticana, Via Paolo VI and Borgo Pio. The entrance from Borgo Pio leads to the Vatican Museum, and the other two entrances lead to St. Peter's Basilica. === By bus === There are several bus stations beside Vatican City. For the St. Peter's Basilica and Square, the #64 bus goes from central Rome right to the southern end of the Vatican, but it is filled with pickpockets so guard your valuables! From western Rome, the #46 bus also goes to St. Peter's Basilica and Square. For the Vatican Museums, the #49 bus goes from western Rome to the northern end of Vatican City. The gate to the Vatican Museums is carved on the wall right beside the bus station. === By metro === Take the metro to {{marker|type=go|name={{station|Cipro|A}}|lat=41.9075|long=12.4476}} for the museums, and {{marker|type=go|name={{station|Ottaviano|A}}|lat=41.90944|long=12.45826}} for St. Peter's. To go from Cipro to the museums, go east through Via Candia and then turn right at Via Santamaura. To go from Ottaviano to St. Peter's, go south through Via Ottaviano. A fun trip is to take the tram to ''Piazza del Risorgimento''. === By train === It's a little-known fact that the Vatican has its own train station. Historically, it has been used by the Pope for special travel on Italian rail or to send off papal remains. There are no regular scheduled passenger services on this line, but the public Roma San Pietro station is just south of the Vatican's borders. <!--Not shown on Website in December 2021, the train has either stopped running or is suspended due to Covid. Since 2014, there has been a [http://www.museivaticani.va/content/museivaticani/en/visita-i-musei/scegli-la-visita/musei-e-collezioni/vaticano-in-treno.html weekly tour package] {{dead link|December 2020}} each Saturday departing from the Vatican City railway station, spending the day at the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, Vatican Gardens and the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo, then returning to the Roma San Pietro station. In 2019, a full ticket of the tour cost €42. --> === By plane === Vatican City does not have an airport, but there is a heliport that is only used by the Pope. The closest airport is the [[Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport]] in Rome. == Get around == {{Mapframe|41.9054|12.4576|zoom=14}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q1666696,Q893556,Q237}} {{mapshapes|Q237480}} === By foot === With an area of {{ha|49}} and a population of about 1,000 residents, the Vatican is small enough to be explored by foot. You can easily cover the Vatican in 30-60 minutes this way. === By car === It's a little-known fact that the Vatican issues vehicle registration plates. Visitors (including Italian citizens) are '''not allowed to drive around the Vatican without permission''' from the Vatican authorities. Unless you're here for something incredibly important (e.g. the Pope wants to meet you personally, you are here on diplomatic business, you're an Italian policeman and you've been asked to patrol St. Peter's Basilica) it's ''highly unlikely'' that you'll be given permission to drive around. In any case, you don't need to drive around to fully take in the beauty of the Vatican; the country's road network is small and limited. In Borgo some streets have one way traffic and in Prati most streets have one way traffic. Parking in the streets is available but it will be difficult to find a free place. Big parkings are located SE of St. Peter's Square and under Piazza Cavour. == Talk == {{Seealso|Italian phrasebook}} The official languages of the Vatican are '''[[Italian]]''' and '''Latin'''. If you know some Latin or if you are a Latin enthusiast, rejoice! This is the only country in the world where Latin is an official language. Most members of the clergy (not everyone, however) know Latin, and the Catholic Church routinely uses the language for official documents. If you don't know any Latin, do not despair, [[Italian]] is the more useful of the two official languages. Since the Vatican is home to and visited by people from all over the world, you can get far with English. == See == There is a lot of artwork to see in Vatican City. === St. Peter's Basilica === [[File:Basilica Vaticana (planimetria con numeri).png|thumb|300px|Map of St. Peter's Basilica]] [[File:St. Peter's.JPG|thumb|Baldacchino and Dome, St. Peter's Basilica]] {{see | name=St. Peter's Basilica | alt=Basilica di San Pietro | url=http://www.vatican.va/various/basiliche/san_pietro/index_it.htm | email= | address= | lat=41.902222 | long=12.453333 | directions= | phone=+39 06 6982 | tollfree= | fax= | hours=The basilica is open Apr-Sep: daily 07:00-19:00 and Oct-Mar: daily 07:00-18:00.

This place is huge, but everything is in such proportion that the scale escapes you. Construction of the basilica began in 1506 and it was not completed until the end of 1626. Thus it spans two architectural periods. The overall design by Bramante and Michelangelo is Late Renaissance but the façade designed by Maderno and the interior, which owes much to Bernini, are both Baroque in style. The interior is lavishly decorated and contains a large number of tombs of popes and others. There are also several sculptures in side chapels, including Michelangelo's Pietà.</p><p>To get in, you will first go through a metal detector (after all, this is an important building). Don't be put off if there is a long line in front of the detectors; the whole thing moves quickly. The line is usually shorter in the morning and during mid-week. A strict dress code is enforced, so have shoulders covered, wear trousers or a not-too-short dress, and take your hats off. Women must wear scarves or something to cover their heads. You might be required to check your bags at the entrance. Photos are allowed to be taken inside, but not with a flash. Visits to the basilica are still possible while Mass is in progress.</p>}} * The '''dome''', which dominates Vatican City, has a total height of 136.57 meters (448 ft) from the floor of the basilica to the top of the external cross. It is the tallest dome in the world. Its internal diameter is 41.47 meters (136 ft), slightly smaller than the [[Rome/Old Rome|Pantheon]] and the cathedral at [[Florence]]. Most of the final design was by Michelangelo, building on earlier designs by Bramante and Sangallo and taking much of his inspiration from the cathedral of Florence. After Michelangelo's death in 1564, the work was completed by Giacomo della Porta. You can take an elevator up to the roof and then make a long climb up 323 steps to the '''top of the dome''' for a spectacular view. Taking the elevator costs €10 (€8 to climb the stairs) and you should allow an hour to go up and down. During the climb and before reaching the very top, you will find yourself standing on the inside of the dome, looking down into the basilica itself. Be warned that there are a lot of stairs so it is not for the faint at heart (literally or figuratively) nor those suffering from claustrophobia as the very last section of the ascent is through little more than a shoulder-width spiral staircase. The dome opens one hour after the basilica and closes one hour before the basilica. * In the first chapel on the right (nr. 9 on the map) as one enters the basilica is a '''Pietà''', the first of four works on the same theme by Michelangelo depicting the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion. The sculpture, in Carrara marble, was made for the funeral monument of the French Cardinal Jean de Billheres and was moved to its current location in the eighteenth century. It is the only piece Michelangelo ever signed. In 1972 the Pietà was attacked by a mentally disturbed person using a geologist's hammer, which is why it now appears behind a bullet-proof glass wall. Reconstruction was not helped by the fact that some onlookers helped themselves to fragments after the attack. * Underneath the altar in the second chapel on the right (nr. 13 on the map) are the remains of '''Pope John Paul II'''. * The first chapel in the south aisle, on the left as you enter, is the '''baptistry''' (nr. 93 on the map). The font is a fourth-century sarcophagus but its lid comes from another sarcophagus, which held the remains of Emperor Hadrian. This lid was dropped by workmen, broke into ten pieces, and was subject to expert restoration, with the gilt-bronze figure of the "Lamb of God" being added at that time. The tomb of '''Pope Alexander VII''', towards the end of the aisle (nr. 47 on the map), is by Bernini and is considered a masterpiece of Baroque art. The tomb is supported by four female figures. The two at the front represent Charity and Truth. The foot of Truth rests upon a globe of the world, her toe being pierced by the thorn of Protestant England. The Baroque period coincided with the Reformation and St. Peter's was seen as an affirmation of Catholicism. * The central internal feature is the Bernini-designed '''baldachin''', or canopy (nr. 64 on the map), built over the Papal Altar underneath the dome. The baldachin had to be enormous to avoid being overwhelmed by the size of the basilica. To obtain the quantity of bronze required, Bernini was given permission by Pope Urban VIII to strip it from the portico of the [[Rome/Old Rome|Pantheon]]. It is considered to be one of the great works of the Baroque period and remains the largest bronze sculpture in the world. * Against the northeast wall of the dome is a '''statue of St. Peter''' (nr. 71 on the map). One foot of the statue has been largely worn away by pilgrims kissing it over the centuries. Set in niches under the dome are four statues associated with holy relics held in the basilica including one of St. Longinus holding the spear that pierced the side of Jesus, by Bernini. * In the apse, at the far end of the basilica, is a large bronze throne (nr. 39 on the map), also by Bernini. Known as the "Cathedra Petri" or '''throne of St. Peter''' the throne houses a chair which was claimed to have been used by Saint Peter, but is more likely to date from the twelfth century.

The pope arrives in the popemobile at 10:30 to bless crowds from a balcony or platform, except in winter, when he speaks in the Aula Paolo VI Auditorium next to the square.

There is a small, almost rectangular section immediately in front of the St Peter's and an opening to the Via della Conciliazione opposite the basilica. There are two stones (one on each side of the square) between the obelisk and the fountains. If you stand by either of these stones, the four columns on the colonnades merge into one. In total there are 284 columns. When Bernini came to design the piazza he had to incorporate the obelisk and a fountain designed by Maderno, both of which were already there. The symmetry of the square was enhanced by the addition of another fountain, designed by Bernini.</p><br /><br />The '''obelisk''' in the middle of the square was transported from Egypt to Rome in 37 AD by Emperor Gaius Caligula to mark the spine of a circus eventually completed by Emperor Nero. The so-called Circus of Nero was parallel to and to the south of the east-west axis of the current Basilica. It was here that Saint Peter was killed in the first official persecutions of Christians undertaken by Nero beginning in 64 AD, and continuing until his death in 67 AD. The original location of the obelisk is marked with a plaque located near the sacristy on the south side of the basilica, where it remained until it was moved in 1586 AD by Pope Sixtus V to its present location.</p><br /><br />During the Middle Ages, the bronze ball on top of the obelisk was believed to contain the ashes of Julius Caesar. When it was relocated it was opened and found to be empty. The present reliquary, the Chigi Star in honor of Pope Alexander VII, was added containing pieces of the "True Cross". This is the only Egyptian obelisk in Rome that has never toppled since being erected in Ancient Rome and is the second largest Egyptian obelisk after the [[Rome/Esquilino-San Giovanni|Lateran obelisk]]. The obelisk nearly shattered while it was being moved. Upon orders of the pope, no one was to speak a word while it was being moved otherwise they would be excommunicated. However, a sailor shouted to water the ropes to prevent them from burning. He was forgiven and in gratitude for saving the day, the palms for Palm Sunday still come from the sailor's home town of Bordighera in Portugal. The moving of this obelisk was celebrated in engravings during its time to commemorate the Renaissance's recovery and mastery of ancient knowledge.</p><br /><br />Until the Fascist era visitors approached St. Peter's Square from the Tiber River by two narrow parallel streets that did not provide the same views as seen today. Mussolini dictated that a warren of poor houses be knocked down to make way for the '''Via della Conciliazione''' and the new buildings alongside it. The name of the street commemorates the Lateran Treaty of 1929, under which the Vatican was recognised as an independent state by the Italian government.</p><br /><br />The square is generally very crowded, even on weekdays, even during rain. Many times during the year, it will be full of barricades, tents or other objects. Do not have high hopes of getting a good picture of yourself in the St. Peters square without the crowd or other obstructions</p>. }} === The Vatican Museum === [[Image:Vatican Museum.JPG|thumb|Double Spiral Staircase, exit of Vatican Museum]] {{see | name=The Vatican Museum | alt= | url=http://www.museivaticani.va | email=info.mv@scv.va | address=Viale Vaticano | lat=41.90655 | long=12.45363 | directions=Main (outside) entrance at Viale Vaticano e Via Tunisi | phone=+39 06 69884676 | tollfree= | fax= | hours=M-Sa 09:00-18:00 (ticket office closes at 16:00), Su closed (except last Sunday of the month, when it is free, crowded, and open 09:00-14:00 with the last admission at 12:30).

There is no exterior entrance, it being approached from within the Vatican buildings. Inside, the walls are divided into three levels. The lower is decorated with frescoed wall hangings. The middle of the walls has two cycles of paintings, "The Life of Moses" and "The Life of Christ", painted by Ghirlandaio, Botticelli, Signorelli, Pinturicchio and Perugino, among others. The upper tier contains a Gallery of Popes. Around the tops of the windows are the "Ancestors of Christ", painted by Michelangelo as part of the ceiling. The ceiling proper contains nine paintings inspired by the Old Testament, showing God's Creation of the World, God's Relationship with Mankind, and Mankind's Fall from God's Grace. Michelangelo was reluctant to work on the ceiling but was unable to refuse an instruction by a pope, Julius II. He worked on it between May 1508 and October 1512, which included a one-year period when he did little work. Given that most of the painting was done by Michelangelo himself, rather than his pupils, completing it in such a short period was an amazing achievement. The ceiling had to be worked on piece by piece as frescoes require painting when the plaster is still damp and most of the time Michelangelo was lying on his back in considerable discomfort. : '''You are not allowed to take photos, record videos, or talk loudly''' in the Sistine Chapel. It is considered a sacred place and the security guards will regularly remind you of this. Although it is very common to spot tourists who flagrantly violate the rules, your visit would be much more pleasant if you obey the authority of the guards. * '''[http://mv.vatican.va/3_EN/pages/SDR/SDR_00_Main.html Raphael's papal apartments]''' (''Stanze'') were begun in 1508 when the painter was summoned to Rome by Pope Julius II. The first room on which he worked was the ''Stanza della Segnatura'', the pope's library and office. The four walls have the themes of Theology, Poetry, Jurisprudence and Philosophy. The ''Poetry'' wall contains portraits of Greek and Ancient Roman poets, as well as of contemporaries of Raphael, such as Dante. The most impressive of the four walls is ''The School of Athens'', representing philosophy. Well-known Greek philosophers are represented, often with the faces of famous Italians of the time. Plato, for example, is believed based on Leonardo da Vinci; Euclid appears to be like Bramante, the first architect for the rebuilt St. Peter's. In the ''Stanza d'Eliodoro'' one of the characters bears a likeness to Raphael himself. Pope Julius II is also introduced into the scenes. * It would be a big mistake to just visit Raphael's rooms and the Sistine Chapel and then leave the museum. The '''Pinacoteca''' should not be missed. Among other works of art, it contains one of the relatively few paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, the unfinished ''St. Jerome in the Wilderness'', three paintings by Raphael, a triptych by Giotto, Caravaggio's ''Entombment'' and works by Perugino and Filippo Lippi. === Swiss Guard === [[Image:Swiss Papal Guards.JPG|thumb|Swiss Papal Guards]] * {{see | name=Swiss Papal Guards | alt=Corpo della Guardia Svizzera | url=https://schweizergarde.ch/ | email= | address= | lat=NA | long=NA | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Pontifical Swiss Guard | image=Guardie svizzere (3496750292).jpg | wikidata=Q171504 | content=They are posted at entrances to the Vatican City to provide security and protect the Pope.

You should not assume that the Vatican only attracts the honest. Keep an eye on your belongings at all times. The Vatican City has its own laws and the Vatican legal system is based on '''canon law''', which means you can expect to be treated with a degree of leniency in the unlikely event you are arrested. In October 2012, the Pope's former butler was arrested and sentenced to 18 months imprisonment, but was pardoned by the pope two months later. Do not let the highly forgiving nature of Vatican law fool you; Vatican authorities regularly collaborate with Italian authorities and you can also expect to be prosecuted under Italian laws. The Vatican can get overcrowded at times. If you're travelling with family members or with a friend, stick together. Supervise your children (if you have any) closely to make sure they are close to you and are not lost among the crowd. As is the case throughout Europe, the local emergency number here is '''112'''. All Vatican law enforcement officials (known as the Gendarmerie) are male and are between the ages of 21 and 25 (as required by Vatican law). They are generally courteous, professional, and helpful. Don't be afraid of asking them for any help. == Stay healthy == Medical care is virtually non-existent in the Vatican. If you require urgent medical attention or health services of any kind, it is strongly recommended that you go to a hospital or a clinic in [[Rome]]. * {{listing | name=Vatican Pharmacy | alt= | url=https://www.farmaciavaticana.va/ | email=spedizioni.farmacia@scv.va | address=Via della Posta, 00120 Città del Vaticano, Vatican City | lat=41.904789 | long=12.456194 | directions= | phone=+39 06 6988 9806 | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q1073751 | lastedit=2022-07-17 | content=Said to be the "busiest pharmacy" in the world, the pharmacy receives thousands of visitors every day.

ITU-T has assigned country code +379 to Vatican City, but this is not in use. Vatican telephone numbers are in the form of "+39 06 698xxxxx", "+39" being the country code for Italy and "06" the area code for Rome (the city surrounding Vatican City). Dialling the country code for calls within Vatican City or between Italy and Vatican City is not required, but the area code must always be dialed, as for any other call within Italy, since Italy is under a closed telephone dialing plan. The telecommunications provider of Vatican City is the Vatican Telephone Service (part of the Governorate's Department of Telecommunications since 2002). == Cope == === Media === It is a little-known fact that the Vatican has a few media outlets. Exposing yourself to Vatican media is a good way to better understand the Catholic Church, how it is actively involved in global affairs, and understand how things work in the world's smallest country.

Respect for the Catholic Church and its practices and doctrine is encouraged. You don't have to praise the Pope or the Catholic Church; just be polite where necessary, refrain from bringing up and discussing controversial subjects (e.g. birth control and contraceptives), and there will be no problems. When visiting the Vatican, it is advised that you dress modestly — no sleeveless shirts, no shorts, no flip-flops, no trainers, and no skirts. If you don't dress modestly, you will be refused entry to various places around the Vatican. Make your first impression a good one. The Vatican is a holy place for millions of Christians around the world. Be open to new experiences, and don't feel afraid of communicating with anyone. Photography and filming in the Vatican are permitted, but you are not allowed to bring selfie sticks, professional photography equipment, and tripods. Flash photography is also disallowed. There's some disagreement on whether or not people should take photographs inside the Sistine Chapel. Remember that it is considered a sacred place and you should not take pictures or record videos when you are inside. As is the case anywhere, if guards tell you to not do something, do it. When visiting places of worship (St. Peter's Basilica being one of them), don't conduct yourself in a way that would be perceived as disruptive or annoying to others. You may take photographs of Swiss guards and they will happily oblige as long as you ask respectfully. Also, refrain from making jokes about the uniforms of Swiss guards; some people could be offended by such jokes. == Go next == Right outside the borders, the amazing attractions of the global city of [[Rome]] await you. If you're up for some more historic sightseeing, visit the beautiful piazzas and palazzos of '''[[Rome/Old_Rome|Old Rome]]''' or head to the ancient Roman ruins in the '''[[Rome/Colosseo|Colosseo]]''' district. If not, the hustle and bustle of the '''[[Rome/Modern_Centre|Modern Centre]]''' with all its shopping opportunities and colourful nightlife might be just what you are looking for. If you can't get enough of the papal atmosphere, head to the '''[[Rome/Esquilino-San Giovanni|San Giovanni]]''' neighbourhood to visit San Giovanni in Laterano, the Pope's cathedral in his role as Bishop of Rome. The small city of '''[[Viterbo]]''' also makes a good next stop. This is where popes took refuge when they were driven out of Rome and where six of the 13th-century popes had their seat. {{routebox | image1=Metropolitana di Roma A.svg | imagesize1=33 | caption1=Rome Metro Line A | directionl1=W | majorl1=END | minorl1=[[Rome/North|North]] | directionr1=E | majorr1=[[Rome/Modern Centre|Modern Centre]] | minorr1=[[Rome/North Centre|North Centre]] }} {{Guidecity}} {{IsPartOf|Rome}} {{Geo|41.904|12.453}} {{Related|UNESCO_World_Heritage_List}} 3ye6fj22ghavz3mz51c8sy4wlguooyr 4495959 4495958 2022-08-06T05:01:14Z Veracious 1298114 /* By phone */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{Pagebanner|Vatican Banner.jpg|pgname=The Vatican|caption=The Creation of Adam in the Sistine Chapel|unesco=yes}} {{Quickbar|location=LocationVaticanCity.png}} {{featurenomination|dotm}} {{COVID-19 box|The Vatican has reopened to visitors, but with restrictions due to [[COVID-19]]. Before planning a visit, look up the current details.|lastedit=2021-11-28}} Vatican is a district of Rome measuring 225.2 hectares, it encompasses the 49 hectares '''[http://www.vaticanstate.va/ Vatican City State]''' (Italian: ''Stato della Città del Vaticano''; Latin: ''Status Civitatis Vaticanae''), as well as the surrounding Roman neighbourhoods of '''Borgo''' (48.77 hectares) and '''Prati''' (127.43 hectares). St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel are all in Vatican City. This tiny country completely within [[Rome]] is packed with more history and artwork than most cities in the world, and indeed many countries. == Understand == The '''Vatican City''' is the temporal seat of the Pope, head of the worldwide Catholic Church. Situated ''within'' the city of [[Rome]], the Vatican is the world's smallest sovereign state. You may also hear the term '''Holy See''' (Italian: ''Santa Sede''; Latin: ''Sancta Sedes''), which is used to refer to the Diocese of Rome—that is, the ecclesiastical and administrative authority of the Pope, rather than the sovereign governmental entity that is the Vatican City State. === History === Vatican City is all that remains of the Papal States, the former temporal land holdings of the Pope. Over the years, this territory varied considerably in extent, and may be traced back to AD 756 with the "Donation of Pepin". However, the popes had been the de facto rulers of Rome and the surrounding province since the fall of the [[Roman Empire]] and the retreat of Byzantine power in Italy. Popes in their secular role ruled portions of the Italian peninsula for more than a thousand years until the mid 19th century, when many of the Papal States were seized by the newly united Kingdom of Italy. In 1870, the pope's holdings were further circumscribed when Rome was annexed. Disputes between a series of "prisoner" popes and Italy were resolved in 1929 by three Lateran Treaties, which established the independent state of Vatican City, granted Roman Catholicism special status in Italy, recognised the full sovereignty of the Vatican and established its territorial extent. In 1984, the agreement was revised to eliminate Catholicism's position as the only state religion of Italy, but the essential features of the agreement remain in force today. ==== Diplomacy ==== The Holy See — the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church which is housed in Vatican City — has diplomatic recognition from the overwhelming majority of countries in the world and has permanent observer status in numerous international organisations, including the United Nations General Assembly. Although there are Papal nuncios (equivalent to ambassadors) in many foreign capitals, due to its limited size the Vatican does not house any diplomatic missions; instead, foreign embassies to the Holy See are based in other parts of Rome. This means that Italy hosts its own Embassy of Italy to the Holy See. According to an agreement between the Holy See and Italy, foreign missions to Italy are not allowed to double as missions to the Holy See. Therefore, many countries have two embassies in Rome: one to Italy and another to the Holy See. Other countries that maintain diplomatic relations with the Holy See but don't have a second embassy in Rome have their missions in another country (usually in [[Bern]], [[Switzerland]]) double as representatives to the Holy See. === Terrain === The Vatican is between 19 m (62 ft) and 75 m (246 ft) above sea level. With a perimeter of only 3.2&nbsp;km (2 mi), the Vatican City is not just the smallest country in the world, it's smaller than some shopping malls! Most of the area consists of the [[#Do|Vatican Gardens]]. === Population === Although 1,000 people live within Vatican City, many dignitaries, priests, nuns, guards, and 3,000 lay workers live outside the Vatican. It has about 800 citizens, making it the smallest nation by population on the globe. The Vatican fields a soccer team composed of members of the Swiss Guard, who hold dual citizenship. === Read === * ''Inside the Vatican'' by Bart McDowell. A light run-through of the history of the Vatican, with a particular focus on some of the recent popes. It is illustrated with extensive photographs of the going-ons in this tiny country. == Get in == [[Image:Vatican-map.png|thumb|600px|Map of the Vatican District]] Although the Vatican City is an independent country, it '''does not''' issue visas or residency permits to visitors and it has open borders with [[Italy]]. Since [[Italy]] is a part of the [[Schengen area]], you must have a Schengen visa (if you are required to get one, that is) to enter Italy. If you are able to access the Schengen area visa-free, all the more merrier. === By taxi or foot === It's easy to get to the Vatican by taxi or foot from Rome. There are 3 road entrances to Vatican City: from Via della Stazione Vaticana, Via Paolo VI and Borgo Pio. The entrance from Borgo Pio leads to the Vatican Museum, and the other two entrances lead to St. Peter's Basilica. === By bus === There are several bus stations beside Vatican City. For the St. Peter's Basilica and Square, the #64 bus goes from central Rome right to the southern end of the Vatican, but it is filled with pickpockets so guard your valuables! From western Rome, the #46 bus also goes to St. Peter's Basilica and Square. For the Vatican Museums, the #49 bus goes from western Rome to the northern end of Vatican City. The gate to the Vatican Museums is carved on the wall right beside the bus station. === By metro === Take the metro to {{marker|type=go|name={{station|Cipro|A}}|lat=41.9075|long=12.4476}} for the museums, and {{marker|type=go|name={{station|Ottaviano|A}}|lat=41.90944|long=12.45826}} for St. Peter's. To go from Cipro to the museums, go east through Via Candia and then turn right at Via Santamaura. To go from Ottaviano to St. Peter's, go south through Via Ottaviano. A fun trip is to take the tram to ''Piazza del Risorgimento''. === By train === It's a little-known fact that the Vatican has its own train station. Historically, it has been used by the Pope for special travel on Italian rail or to send off papal remains. There are no regular scheduled passenger services on this line, but the public Roma San Pietro station is just south of the Vatican's borders. <!--Not shown on Website in December 2021, the train has either stopped running or is suspended due to Covid. Since 2014, there has been a [http://www.museivaticani.va/content/museivaticani/en/visita-i-musei/scegli-la-visita/musei-e-collezioni/vaticano-in-treno.html weekly tour package] {{dead link|December 2020}} each Saturday departing from the Vatican City railway station, spending the day at the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, Vatican Gardens and the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo, then returning to the Roma San Pietro station. In 2019, a full ticket of the tour cost €42. --> === By plane === Vatican City does not have an airport, but there is a heliport that is only used by the Pope. The closest airport is the [[Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport]] in Rome. == Get around == {{Mapframe|41.9054|12.4576|zoom=14}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q1666696,Q893556,Q237}} {{mapshapes|Q237480}} === By foot === With an area of {{ha|49}} and a population of about 1,000 residents, the Vatican is small enough to be explored by foot. You can easily cover the Vatican in 30-60 minutes this way. === By car === It's a little-known fact that the Vatican issues vehicle registration plates. Visitors (including Italian citizens) are '''not allowed to drive around the Vatican without permission''' from the Vatican authorities. Unless you're here for something incredibly important (e.g. the Pope wants to meet you personally, you are here on diplomatic business, you're an Italian policeman and you've been asked to patrol St. Peter's Basilica) it's ''highly unlikely'' that you'll be given permission to drive around. In any case, you don't need to drive around to fully take in the beauty of the Vatican; the country's road network is small and limited. In Borgo some streets have one way traffic and in Prati most streets have one way traffic. Parking in the streets is available but it will be difficult to find a free place. Big parkings are located SE of St. Peter's Square and under Piazza Cavour. == Talk == {{Seealso|Italian phrasebook}} The official languages of the Vatican are '''[[Italian]]''' and '''Latin'''. If you know some Latin or if you are a Latin enthusiast, rejoice! This is the only country in the world where Latin is an official language. Most members of the clergy (not everyone, however) know Latin, and the Catholic Church routinely uses the language for official documents. If you don't know any Latin, do not despair, [[Italian]] is the more useful of the two official languages. Since the Vatican is home to and visited by people from all over the world, you can get far with English. == See == There is a lot of artwork to see in Vatican City. === St. Peter's Basilica === [[File:Basilica Vaticana (planimetria con numeri).png|thumb|300px|Map of St. Peter's Basilica]] [[File:St. Peter's.JPG|thumb|Baldacchino and Dome, St. Peter's Basilica]] {{see | name=St. Peter's Basilica | alt=Basilica di San Pietro | url=http://www.vatican.va/various/basiliche/san_pietro/index_it.htm | email= | address= | lat=41.902222 | long=12.453333 | directions= | phone=+39 06 6982 | tollfree= | fax= | hours=The basilica is open Apr-Sep: daily 07:00-19:00 and Oct-Mar: daily 07:00-18:00.

This place is huge, but everything is in such proportion that the scale escapes you. Construction of the basilica began in 1506 and it was not completed until the end of 1626. Thus it spans two architectural periods. The overall design by Bramante and Michelangelo is Late Renaissance but the façade designed by Maderno and the interior, which owes much to Bernini, are both Baroque in style. The interior is lavishly decorated and contains a large number of tombs of popes and others. There are also several sculptures in side chapels, including Michelangelo's Pietà.</p><p>To get in, you will first go through a metal detector (after all, this is an important building). Don't be put off if there is a long line in front of the detectors; the whole thing moves quickly. The line is usually shorter in the morning and during mid-week. A strict dress code is enforced, so have shoulders covered, wear trousers or a not-too-short dress, and take your hats off. Women must wear scarves or something to cover their heads. You might be required to check your bags at the entrance. Photos are allowed to be taken inside, but not with a flash. Visits to the basilica are still possible while Mass is in progress.</p>}} * The '''dome''', which dominates Vatican City, has a total height of 136.57 meters (448 ft) from the floor of the basilica to the top of the external cross. It is the tallest dome in the world. Its internal diameter is 41.47 meters (136 ft), slightly smaller than the [[Rome/Old Rome|Pantheon]] and the cathedral at [[Florence]]. Most of the final design was by Michelangelo, building on earlier designs by Bramante and Sangallo and taking much of his inspiration from the cathedral of Florence. After Michelangelo's death in 1564, the work was completed by Giacomo della Porta. You can take an elevator up to the roof and then make a long climb up 323 steps to the '''top of the dome''' for a spectacular view. Taking the elevator costs €10 (€8 to climb the stairs) and you should allow an hour to go up and down. During the climb and before reaching the very top, you will find yourself standing on the inside of the dome, looking down into the basilica itself. Be warned that there are a lot of stairs so it is not for the faint at heart (literally or figuratively) nor those suffering from claustrophobia as the very last section of the ascent is through little more than a shoulder-width spiral staircase. The dome opens one hour after the basilica and closes one hour before the basilica. * In the first chapel on the right (nr. 9 on the map) as one enters the basilica is a '''Pietà''', the first of four works on the same theme by Michelangelo depicting the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion. The sculpture, in Carrara marble, was made for the funeral monument of the French Cardinal Jean de Billheres and was moved to its current location in the eighteenth century. It is the only piece Michelangelo ever signed. In 1972 the Pietà was attacked by a mentally disturbed person using a geologist's hammer, which is why it now appears behind a bullet-proof glass wall. Reconstruction was not helped by the fact that some onlookers helped themselves to fragments after the attack. * Underneath the altar in the second chapel on the right (nr. 13 on the map) are the remains of '''Pope John Paul II'''. * The first chapel in the south aisle, on the left as you enter, is the '''baptistry''' (nr. 93 on the map). The font is a fourth-century sarcophagus but its lid comes from another sarcophagus, which held the remains of Emperor Hadrian. This lid was dropped by workmen, broke into ten pieces, and was subject to expert restoration, with the gilt-bronze figure of the "Lamb of God" being added at that time. The tomb of '''Pope Alexander VII''', towards the end of the aisle (nr. 47 on the map), is by Bernini and is considered a masterpiece of Baroque art. The tomb is supported by four female figures. The two at the front represent Charity and Truth. The foot of Truth rests upon a globe of the world, her toe being pierced by the thorn of Protestant England. The Baroque period coincided with the Reformation and St. Peter's was seen as an affirmation of Catholicism. * The central internal feature is the Bernini-designed '''baldachin''', or canopy (nr. 64 on the map), built over the Papal Altar underneath the dome. The baldachin had to be enormous to avoid being overwhelmed by the size of the basilica. To obtain the quantity of bronze required, Bernini was given permission by Pope Urban VIII to strip it from the portico of the [[Rome/Old Rome|Pantheon]]. It is considered to be one of the great works of the Baroque period and remains the largest bronze sculpture in the world. * Against the northeast wall of the dome is a '''statue of St. Peter''' (nr. 71 on the map). One foot of the statue has been largely worn away by pilgrims kissing it over the centuries. Set in niches under the dome are four statues associated with holy relics held in the basilica including one of St. Longinus holding the spear that pierced the side of Jesus, by Bernini. * In the apse, at the far end of the basilica, is a large bronze throne (nr. 39 on the map), also by Bernini. Known as the "Cathedra Petri" or '''throne of St. Peter''' the throne houses a chair which was claimed to have been used by Saint Peter, but is more likely to date from the twelfth century.

The pope arrives in the popemobile at 10:30 to bless crowds from a balcony or platform, except in winter, when he speaks in the Aula Paolo VI Auditorium next to the square. You can easily watch from a distance, or get a free ticket, which you must get on the Tuesday before.

There is a small, almost rectangular section immediately in front of the St Peter's and an opening to the Via della Conciliazione opposite the basilica. There are two stones (one on each side of the square) between the obelisk and the fountains. If you stand by either of these stones, the four columns on the colonnades merge into one. In total there are 284 columns. When Bernini came to design the piazza he had to incorporate the obelisk and a fountain designed by Maderno, both of which were already there. The symmetry of the square was enhanced by the addition of another fountain, designed by Bernini.</p><br /><br />The '''obelisk''' in the middle of the square was transported from Egypt to Rome in 37 AD by Emperor Gaius Caligula to mark the spine of a circus eventually completed by Emperor Nero. The so-called Circus of Nero was parallel to and to the south of the east-west axis of the current Basilica. It was here that Saint Peter was killed in the first official persecutions of Christians undertaken by Nero beginning in 64 AD, and continuing until his death in 67 AD. The original location of the obelisk is marked with a plaque located near the sacristy on the south side of the basilica, where it remained until it was moved in 1586 AD by Pope Sixtus V to its present location.</p><br /><br />During the Middle Ages, the bronze ball on top of the obelisk was believed to contain the ashes of Julius Caesar. When it was relocated it was opened and found to be empty. The present reliquary, the Chigi Star in honor of Pope Alexander VII, was added containing pieces of the "True Cross". This is the only Egyptian obelisk in Rome that has never toppled since being erected in Ancient Rome and is the second largest Egyptian obelisk after the [[Rome/Esquilino-San Giovanni|Lateran obelisk]]. The obelisk nearly shattered while it was being moved. Upon orders of the pope, no one was to speak a word while it was being moved otherwise they would be excommunicated. However, a sailor shouted to water the ropes to prevent them from burning. He was forgiven and in gratitude for saving the day, the palms for Palm Sunday still come from the sailor's home town of Bordighera in Portugal. The moving of this obelisk was celebrated in engravings during its time to commemorate the Renaissance's recovery and mastery of ancient knowledge.</p><br /><br />Until the Fascist era visitors approached St. Peter's Square from the Tiber River by two narrow parallel streets that did not provide the same views as seen today. Mussolini dictated that a warren of poor houses be knocked down to make way for the '''Via della Conciliazione''' and the new buildings alongside it. The name of the street commemorates the Lateran Treaty of 1929, under which the Vatican was recognised as an independent state by the Italian government.</p><br /><br />The square is generally very crowded, even on weekdays, even during rain. Many times during the year, it will be full of barricades, tents or other objects. Do not have high hopes of getting a good picture of yourself in the St. Peters square without the crowd or other obstructions</p>. }} === The Vatican Museum === [[Image:Vatican Museum.JPG|thumb|Double Spiral Staircase, exit of Vatican Museum]] {{see | name=The Vatican Museum | alt= | url=http://www.museivaticani.va | email=info.mv@scv.va | address=Viale Vaticano | lat=41.90655 | long=12.45363 | directions=Main (outside) entrance at Viale Vaticano e Via Tunisi | phone=+39 06 69884676 | tollfree= | fax= | hours=M-Sa 09:00-18:00 (ticket office closes at 16:00), Su closed (except last Sunday of the month, when it is free, crowded, and open 09:00-14:00 with the last admission at 12:30).

There is no exterior entrance, it being approached from within the Vatican buildings. Inside, the walls are divided into three levels. The lower is decorated with frescoed wall hangings. The middle of the walls has two cycles of paintings, "The Life of Moses" and "The Life of Christ", painted by Ghirlandaio, Botticelli, Signorelli, Pinturicchio and Perugino, among others. The upper tier contains a Gallery of Popes. Around the tops of the windows are the "Ancestors of Christ", painted by Michelangelo as part of the ceiling. The ceiling proper contains nine paintings inspired by the Old Testament, showing God's Creation of the World, God's Relationship with Mankind, and Mankind's Fall from God's Grace. Michelangelo was reluctant to work on the ceiling but was unable to refuse an instruction by a pope, Julius II. He worked on it between May 1508 and October 1512, which included a one-year period when he did little work. Given that most of the painting was done by Michelangelo himself, rather than his pupils, completing it in such a short period was an amazing achievement. The ceiling had to be worked on piece by piece as frescoes require painting when the plaster is still damp and most of the time Michelangelo was lying on his back in considerable discomfort. : '''You are not allowed to take photos, record videos, or talk loudly''' in the Sistine Chapel. It is considered a sacred place and the security guards will regularly remind you of this. Although it is very common to spot tourists who flagrantly violate the rules, your visit would be much more pleasant if you obey the authority of the guards. * '''[http://mv.vatican.va/3_EN/pages/SDR/SDR_00_Main.html Raphael's papal apartments]''' (''Stanze'') were begun in 1508 when the painter was summoned to Rome by Pope Julius II. The first room on which he worked was the ''Stanza della Segnatura'', the pope's library and office. The four walls have the themes of Theology, Poetry, Jurisprudence and Philosophy. The ''Poetry'' wall contains portraits of Greek and Ancient Roman poets, as well as of contemporaries of Raphael, such as Dante. The most impressive of the four walls is ''The School of Athens'', representing philosophy. Well-known Greek philosophers are represented, often with the faces of famous Italians of the time. Plato, for example, is believed based on Leonardo da Vinci; Euclid appears to be like Bramante, the first architect for the rebuilt St. Peter's. In the ''Stanza d'Eliodoro'' one of the characters bears a likeness to Raphael himself. Pope Julius II is also introduced into the scenes. * It would be a big mistake to just visit Raphael's rooms and the Sistine Chapel and then leave the museum. The '''Pinacoteca''' should not be missed. Among other works of art, it contains one of the relatively few paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, the unfinished ''St. Jerome in the Wilderness'', three paintings by Raphael, a triptych by Giotto, Caravaggio's ''Entombment'' and works by Perugino and Filippo Lippi. === Swiss Guard === [[Image:Swiss Papal Guards.JPG|thumb|Swiss Papal Guards]] * {{see | name=Swiss Papal Guards | alt=Corpo della Guardia Svizzera | url=https://schweizergarde.ch/ | email= | address= | lat=NA | long=NA | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Pontifical Swiss Guard | image=Guardie svizzere (3496750292).jpg | wikidata=Q171504 | content=They are posted at entrances to the Vatican City to provide security and protect the Pope.

You should not assume that the Vatican only attracts the honest. Keep an eye on your belongings at all times. The Vatican City has its own laws and the Vatican legal system is based on '''canon law''', which means you can expect to be treated with a degree of leniency in the unlikely event you are arrested. In October 2012, the Pope's former butler was arrested and sentenced to 18 months imprisonment, but was pardoned by the pope two months later. Do not let the highly forgiving nature of Vatican law fool you; Vatican authorities regularly collaborate with Italian authorities and you can also expect to be prosecuted under Italian laws. The Vatican can get overcrowded at times. If you're travelling with family members or with a friend, stick together. Supervise your children (if you have any) closely to make sure they are close to you and are not lost among the crowd. As is the case throughout Europe, the local emergency number here is '''112'''. All Vatican law enforcement officials (known as the Gendarmerie) are male and are between the ages of 21 and 25 (as required by Vatican law). They are generally courteous, professional, and helpful. Don't be afraid of asking them for any help. == Stay healthy == Medical care is virtually non-existent in the Vatican. If you require urgent medical attention or health services of any kind, it is strongly recommended that you go to a hospital or a clinic in [[Rome]]. * {{listing | name=Vatican Pharmacy | alt= | url=https://www.farmaciavaticana.va/ | email=spedizioni.farmacia@scv.va | address=Via della Posta, 00120 Città del Vaticano, Vatican City | lat=41.904789 | long=12.456194 | directions= | phone=+39 06 6988 9806 | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q1073751 | lastedit=2022-07-17 | content=Said to be the "busiest pharmacy" in the world, the pharmacy receives thousands of visitors every day.

ITU-T has assigned country code +379 to Vatican City, but this is not in use. Vatican telephone numbers are in the form of "+39 06 698xxxxx", "+39" being the country code for Italy and "06" the area code for Rome (the city surrounding Vatican City). Dialling the country code for calls within Vatican City or between Italy and Vatican City is not required, but the area code must always be dialed, as for any other call within Italy, since Italy is under a closed telephone dialing plan. The telecommunications provider of Vatican City is the Vatican Telephone Service (part of the Governorate's Department of Telecommunications since 2002). == Cope == === Media === It is a little-known fact that the Vatican has a few media outlets. Exposing yourself to Vatican media is a good way to better understand the Catholic Church, how it is actively involved in global affairs, and understand how things work in the world's smallest country.

Respect for the Catholic Church and its practices and doctrine is encouraged. You don't have to praise the Pope or the Catholic Church; just be polite where necessary, refrain from bringing up and discussing controversial subjects (e.g. birth control and contraceptives), and there will be no problems. When visiting the Vatican, it is advised that you dress modestly — no sleeveless shirts, no shorts, no flip-flops, no trainers, and no skirts. If you don't dress modestly, you will be refused entry to various places around the Vatican. Make your first impression a good one. The Vatican is a holy place for millions of Christians around the world. Be open to new experiences, and don't feel afraid of communicating with anyone. Photography and filming in the Vatican are permitted, but you are not allowed to bring selfie sticks, professional photography equipment, and tripods. Flash photography is also disallowed. There's some disagreement on whether or not people should take photographs inside the Sistine Chapel. Remember that it is considered a sacred place and you should not take pictures or record videos when you are inside. As is the case anywhere, if guards tell you to not do something, do it. When visiting places of worship (St. Peter's Basilica being one of them), don't conduct yourself in a way that would be perceived as disruptive or annoying to others. You may take photographs of Swiss guards and they will happily oblige as long as you ask respectfully. Also, refrain from making jokes about the uniforms of Swiss guards; some people could be offended by such jokes. == Go next == Right outside the borders, the amazing attractions of the global city of [[Rome]] await you. If you're up for some more historic sightseeing, visit the beautiful piazzas and palazzos of '''[[Rome/Old_Rome|Old Rome]]''' or head to the ancient Roman ruins in the '''[[Rome/Colosseo|Colosseo]]''' district. If not, the hustle and bustle of the '''[[Rome/Modern_Centre|Modern Centre]]''' with all its shopping opportunities and colourful nightlife might be just what you are looking for. If you can't get enough of the papal atmosphere, head to the '''[[Rome/Esquilino-San Giovanni|San Giovanni]]''' neighbourhood to visit San Giovanni in Laterano, the Pope's cathedral in his role as Bishop of Rome. The small city of '''[[Viterbo]]''' also makes a good next stop. This is where popes took refuge when they were driven out of Rome and where six of the 13th-century popes had their seat. {{routebox | image1=Metropolitana di Roma A.svg | imagesize1=33 | caption1=Rome Metro Line A | directionl1=W | majorl1=END | minorl1=[[Rome/North|North]] | directionr1=E | majorr1=[[Rome/Modern Centre|Modern Centre]] | minorr1=[[Rome/North Centre|North Centre]] }} {{Guidecity}} {{IsPartOf|Rome}} {{Geo|41.904|12.453}} {{Related|UNESCO_World_Heritage_List}} 38eewwjambuthxcjbx2t52ipkfwuaig 4495973 4495959 2022-08-06T06:10:15Z Veracious 1298114 /* Mid-range */ Updated listing for Atlante Star Hotel - wikidata linking wikitext text/x-wiki {{Pagebanner|Vatican Banner.jpg|pgname=The Vatican|caption=The Creation of Adam in the Sistine Chapel|unesco=yes}} {{Quickbar|location=LocationVaticanCity.png}} {{featurenomination|dotm}} {{COVID-19 box|The Vatican has reopened to visitors, but with restrictions due to [[COVID-19]]. Before planning a visit, look up the current details.|lastedit=2021-11-28}} Vatican is a district of Rome measuring 225.2 hectares, it encompasses the 49 hectares '''[http://www.vaticanstate.va/ Vatican City State]''' (Italian: ''Stato della Città del Vaticano''; Latin: ''Status Civitatis Vaticanae''), as well as the surrounding Roman neighbourhoods of '''Borgo''' (48.77 hectares) and '''Prati''' (127.43 hectares). St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel are all in Vatican City. This tiny country completely within [[Rome]] is packed with more history and artwork than most cities in the world, and indeed many countries. == Understand == The '''Vatican City''' is the temporal seat of the Pope, head of the worldwide Catholic Church. Situated ''within'' the city of [[Rome]], the Vatican is the world's smallest sovereign state. You may also hear the term '''Holy See''' (Italian: ''Santa Sede''; Latin: ''Sancta Sedes''), which is used to refer to the Diocese of Rome—that is, the ecclesiastical and administrative authority of the Pope, rather than the sovereign governmental entity that is the Vatican City State. === History === Vatican City is all that remains of the Papal States, the former temporal land holdings of the Pope. Over the years, this territory varied considerably in extent, and may be traced back to AD 756 with the "Donation of Pepin". However, the popes had been the de facto rulers of Rome and the surrounding province since the fall of the [[Roman Empire]] and the retreat of Byzantine power in Italy. Popes in their secular role ruled portions of the Italian peninsula for more than a thousand years until the mid 19th century, when many of the Papal States were seized by the newly united Kingdom of Italy. In 1870, the pope's holdings were further circumscribed when Rome was annexed. Disputes between a series of "prisoner" popes and Italy were resolved in 1929 by three Lateran Treaties, which established the independent state of Vatican City, granted Roman Catholicism special status in Italy, recognised the full sovereignty of the Vatican and established its territorial extent. In 1984, the agreement was revised to eliminate Catholicism's position as the only state religion of Italy, but the essential features of the agreement remain in force today. ==== Diplomacy ==== The Holy See — the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church which is housed in Vatican City — has diplomatic recognition from the overwhelming majority of countries in the world and has permanent observer status in numerous international organisations, including the United Nations General Assembly. Although there are Papal nuncios (equivalent to ambassadors) in many foreign capitals, due to its limited size the Vatican does not house any diplomatic missions; instead, foreign embassies to the Holy See are based in other parts of Rome. This means that Italy hosts its own Embassy of Italy to the Holy See. According to an agreement between the Holy See and Italy, foreign missions to Italy are not allowed to double as missions to the Holy See. Therefore, many countries have two embassies in Rome: one to Italy and another to the Holy See. Other countries that maintain diplomatic relations with the Holy See but don't have a second embassy in Rome have their missions in another country (usually in [[Bern]], [[Switzerland]]) double as representatives to the Holy See. === Terrain === The Vatican is between 19 m (62 ft) and 75 m (246 ft) above sea level. With a perimeter of only 3.2&nbsp;km (2 mi), the Vatican City is not just the smallest country in the world, it's smaller than some shopping malls! Most of the area consists of the [[#Do|Vatican Gardens]]. === Population === Although 1,000 people live within Vatican City, many dignitaries, priests, nuns, guards, and 3,000 lay workers live outside the Vatican. It has about 800 citizens, making it the smallest nation by population on the globe. The Vatican fields a soccer team composed of members of the Swiss Guard, who hold dual citizenship. === Read === * ''Inside the Vatican'' by Bart McDowell. A light run-through of the history of the Vatican, with a particular focus on some of the recent popes. It is illustrated with extensive photographs of the going-ons in this tiny country. == Get in == [[Image:Vatican-map.png|thumb|600px|Map of the Vatican District]] Although the Vatican City is an independent country, it '''does not''' issue visas or residency permits to visitors and it has open borders with [[Italy]]. Since [[Italy]] is a part of the [[Schengen area]], you must have a Schengen visa (if you are required to get one, that is) to enter Italy. If you are able to access the Schengen area visa-free, all the more merrier. === By taxi or foot === It's easy to get to the Vatican by taxi or foot from Rome. There are 3 road entrances to Vatican City: from Via della Stazione Vaticana, Via Paolo VI and Borgo Pio. The entrance from Borgo Pio leads to the Vatican Museum, and the other two entrances lead to St. Peter's Basilica. === By bus === There are several bus stations beside Vatican City. For the St. Peter's Basilica and Square, the #64 bus goes from central Rome right to the southern end of the Vatican, but it is filled with pickpockets so guard your valuables! From western Rome, the #46 bus also goes to St. Peter's Basilica and Square. For the Vatican Museums, the #49 bus goes from western Rome to the northern end of Vatican City. The gate to the Vatican Museums is carved on the wall right beside the bus station. === By metro === Take the metro to {{marker|type=go|name={{station|Cipro|A}}|lat=41.9075|long=12.4476}} for the museums, and {{marker|type=go|name={{station|Ottaviano|A}}|lat=41.90944|long=12.45826}} for St. Peter's. To go from Cipro to the museums, go east through Via Candia and then turn right at Via Santamaura. To go from Ottaviano to St. Peter's, go south through Via Ottaviano. A fun trip is to take the tram to ''Piazza del Risorgimento''. === By train === It's a little-known fact that the Vatican has its own train station. Historically, it has been used by the Pope for special travel on Italian rail or to send off papal remains. There are no regular scheduled passenger services on this line, but the public Roma San Pietro station is just south of the Vatican's borders. <!--Not shown on Website in December 2021, the train has either stopped running or is suspended due to Covid. Since 2014, there has been a [http://www.museivaticani.va/content/museivaticani/en/visita-i-musei/scegli-la-visita/musei-e-collezioni/vaticano-in-treno.html weekly tour package] {{dead link|December 2020}} each Saturday departing from the Vatican City railway station, spending the day at the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, Vatican Gardens and the Pontifical Villas of Castel Gandolfo, then returning to the Roma San Pietro station. In 2019, a full ticket of the tour cost €42. --> === By plane === Vatican City does not have an airport, but there is a heliport that is only used by the Pope. The closest airport is the [[Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport]] in Rome. == Get around == {{Mapframe|41.9054|12.4576|zoom=14}} {{Mapshape|wikidata=Q1666696,Q893556,Q237}} {{mapshapes|Q237480}} === By foot === With an area of {{ha|49}} and a population of about 1,000 residents, the Vatican is small enough to be explored by foot. You can easily cover the Vatican in 30-60 minutes this way. === By car === It's a little-known fact that the Vatican issues vehicle registration plates. Visitors (including Italian citizens) are '''not allowed to drive around the Vatican without permission''' from the Vatican authorities. Unless you're here for something incredibly important (e.g. the Pope wants to meet you personally, you are here on diplomatic business, you're an Italian policeman and you've been asked to patrol St. Peter's Basilica) it's ''highly unlikely'' that you'll be given permission to drive around. In any case, you don't need to drive around to fully take in the beauty of the Vatican; the country's road network is small and limited. In Borgo some streets have one way traffic and in Prati most streets have one way traffic. Parking in the streets is available but it will be difficult to find a free place. Big parkings are located SE of St. Peter's Square and under Piazza Cavour. == Talk == {{Seealso|Italian phrasebook}} The official languages of the Vatican are '''[[Italian]]''' and '''Latin'''. If you know some Latin or if you are a Latin enthusiast, rejoice! This is the only country in the world where Latin is an official language. Most members of the clergy (not everyone, however) know Latin, and the Catholic Church routinely uses the language for official documents. If you don't know any Latin, do not despair, [[Italian]] is the more useful of the two official languages. Since the Vatican is home to and visited by people from all over the world, you can get far with English. == See == There is a lot of artwork to see in Vatican City. === St. Peter's Basilica === [[File:Basilica Vaticana (planimetria con numeri).png|thumb|300px|Map of St. Peter's Basilica]] [[File:St. Peter's.JPG|thumb|Baldacchino and Dome, St. Peter's Basilica]] {{see | name=St. Peter's Basilica | alt=Basilica di San Pietro | url=http://www.vatican.va/various/basiliche/san_pietro/index_it.htm | email= | address= | lat=41.902222 | long=12.453333 | directions= | phone=+39 06 6982 | tollfree= | fax= | hours=The basilica is open Apr-Sep: daily 07:00-19:00 and Oct-Mar: daily 07:00-18:00.

This place is huge, but everything is in such proportion that the scale escapes you. Construction of the basilica began in 1506 and it was not completed until the end of 1626. Thus it spans two architectural periods. The overall design by Bramante and Michelangelo is Late Renaissance but the façade designed by Maderno and the interior, which owes much to Bernini, are both Baroque in style. The interior is lavishly decorated and contains a large number of tombs of popes and others. There are also several sculptures in side chapels, including Michelangelo's Pietà.</p><p>To get in, you will first go through a metal detector (after all, this is an important building). Don't be put off if there is a long line in front of the detectors; the whole thing moves quickly. The line is usually shorter in the morning and during mid-week. A strict dress code is enforced, so have shoulders covered, wear trousers or a not-too-short dress, and take your hats off. Women must wear scarves or something to cover their heads. You might be required to check your bags at the entrance. Photos are allowed to be taken inside, but not with a flash. Visits to the basilica are still possible while Mass is in progress.</p>}} * The '''dome''', which dominates Vatican City, has a total height of 136.57 meters (448 ft) from the floor of the basilica to the top of the external cross. It is the tallest dome in the world. Its internal diameter is 41.47 meters (136 ft), slightly smaller than the [[Rome/Old Rome|Pantheon]] and the cathedral at [[Florence]]. Most of the final design was by Michelangelo, building on earlier designs by Bramante and Sangallo and taking much of his inspiration from the cathedral of Florence. After Michelangelo's death in 1564, the work was completed by Giacomo della Porta. You can take an elevator up to the roof and then make a long climb up 323 steps to the '''top of the dome''' for a spectacular view. Taking the elevator costs €10 (€8 to climb the stairs) and you should allow an hour to go up and down. During the climb and before reaching the very top, you will find yourself standing on the inside of the dome, looking down into the basilica itself. Be warned that there are a lot of stairs so it is not for the faint at heart (literally or figuratively) nor those suffering from claustrophobia as the very last section of the ascent is through little more than a shoulder-width spiral staircase. The dome opens one hour after the basilica and closes one hour before the basilica. * In the first chapel on the right (nr. 9 on the map) as one enters the basilica is a '''Pietà''', the first of four works on the same theme by Michelangelo depicting the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion. The sculpture, in Carrara marble, was made for the funeral monument of the French Cardinal Jean de Billheres and was moved to its current location in the eighteenth century. It is the only piece Michelangelo ever signed. In 1972 the Pietà was attacked by a mentally disturbed person using a geologist's hammer, which is why it now appears behind a bullet-proof glass wall. Reconstruction was not helped by the fact that some onlookers helped themselves to fragments after the attack. * Underneath the altar in the second chapel on the right (nr. 13 on the map) are the remains of '''Pope John Paul II'''. * The first chapel in the south aisle, on the left as you enter, is the '''baptistry''' (nr. 93 on the map). The font is a fourth-century sarcophagus but its lid comes from another sarcophagus, which held the remains of Emperor Hadrian. This lid was dropped by workmen, broke into ten pieces, and was subject to expert restoration, with the gilt-bronze figure of the "Lamb of God" being added at that time. The tomb of '''Pope Alexander VII''', towards the end of the aisle (nr. 47 on the map), is by Bernini and is considered a masterpiece of Baroque art. The tomb is supported by four female figures. The two at the front represent Charity and Truth. The foot of Truth rests upon a globe of the world, her toe being pierced by the thorn of Protestant England. The Baroque period coincided with the Reformation and St. Peter's was seen as an affirmation of Catholicism. * The central internal feature is the Bernini-designed '''baldachin''', or canopy (nr. 64 on the map), built over the Papal Altar underneath the dome. The baldachin had to be enormous to avoid being overwhelmed by the size of the basilica. To obtain the quantity of bronze required, Bernini was given permission by Pope Urban VIII to strip it from the portico of the [[Rome/Old Rome|Pantheon]]. It is considered to be one of the great works of the Baroque period and remains the largest bronze sculpture in the world. * Against the northeast wall of the dome is a '''statue of St. Peter''' (nr. 71 on the map). One foot of the statue has been largely worn away by pilgrims kissing it over the centuries. Set in niches under the dome are four statues associated with holy relics held in the basilica including one of St. Longinus holding the spear that pierced the side of Jesus, by Bernini. * In the apse, at the far end of the basilica, is a large bronze throne (nr. 39 on the map), also by Bernini. Known as the "Cathedra Petri" or '''throne of St. Peter''' the throne houses a chair which was claimed to have been used by Saint Peter, but is more likely to date from the twelfth century.

The pope arrives in the popemobile at 10:30 to bless crowds from a balcony or platform, except in winter, when he speaks in the Aula Paolo VI Auditorium next to the square. You can easily watch from a distance, or get a free ticket, which you must get on the Tuesday before.

There is a small, almost rectangular section immediately in front of the St Peter's and an opening to the Via della Conciliazione opposite the basilica. There are two stones (one on each side of the square) between the obelisk and the fountains. If you stand by either of these stones, the four columns on the colonnades merge into one. In total there are 284 columns. When Bernini came to design the piazza he had to incorporate the obelisk and a fountain designed by Maderno, both of which were already there. The symmetry of the square was enhanced by the addition of another fountain, designed by Bernini.</p><br /><br />The '''obelisk''' in the middle of the square was transported from Egypt to Rome in 37 AD by Emperor Gaius Caligula to mark the spine of a circus eventually completed by Emperor Nero. The so-called Circus of Nero was parallel to and to the south of the east-west axis of the current Basilica. It was here that Saint Peter was killed in the first official persecutions of Christians undertaken by Nero beginning in 64 AD, and continuing until his death in 67 AD. The original location of the obelisk is marked with a plaque located near the sacristy on the south side of the basilica, where it remained until it was moved in 1586 AD by Pope Sixtus V to its present location.</p><br /><br />During the Middle Ages, the bronze ball on top of the obelisk was believed to contain the ashes of Julius Caesar. When it was relocated it was opened and found to be empty. The present reliquary, the Chigi Star in honor of Pope Alexander VII, was added containing pieces of the "True Cross". This is the only Egyptian obelisk in Rome that has never toppled since being erected in Ancient Rome and is the second largest Egyptian obelisk after the [[Rome/Esquilino-San Giovanni|Lateran obelisk]]. The obelisk nearly shattered while it was being moved. Upon orders of the pope, no one was to speak a word while it was being moved otherwise they would be excommunicated. However, a sailor shouted to water the ropes to prevent them from burning. He was forgiven and in gratitude for saving the day, the palms for Palm Sunday still come from the sailor's home town of Bordighera in Portugal. The moving of this obelisk was celebrated in engravings during its time to commemorate the Renaissance's recovery and mastery of ancient knowledge.</p><br /><br />Until the Fascist era visitors approached St. Peter's Square from the Tiber River by two narrow parallel streets that did not provide the same views as seen today. Mussolini dictated that a warren of poor houses be knocked down to make way for the '''Via della Conciliazione''' and the new buildings alongside it. The name of the street commemorates the Lateran Treaty of 1929, under which the Vatican was recognised as an independent state by the Italian government.</p><br /><br />The square is generally very crowded, even on weekdays, even during rain. Many times during the year, it will be full of barricades, tents or other objects. Do not have high hopes of getting a good picture of yourself in the St. Peters square without the crowd or other obstructions</p>. }} === The Vatican Museum === [[Image:Vatican Museum.JPG|thumb|Double Spiral Staircase, exit of Vatican Museum]] {{see | name=The Vatican Museum | alt= | url=http://www.museivaticani.va | email=info.mv@scv.va | address=Viale Vaticano | lat=41.90655 | long=12.45363 | directions=Main (outside) entrance at Viale Vaticano e Via Tunisi | phone=+39 06 69884676 | tollfree= | fax= | hours=M-Sa 09:00-18:00 (ticket office closes at 16:00), Su closed (except last Sunday of the month, when it is free, crowded, and open 09:00-14:00 with the last admission at 12:30).

There is no exterior entrance, it being approached from within the Vatican buildings. Inside, the walls are divided into three levels. The lower is decorated with frescoed wall hangings. The middle of the walls has two cycles of paintings, "The Life of Moses" and "The Life of Christ", painted by Ghirlandaio, Botticelli, Signorelli, Pinturicchio and Perugino, among others. The upper tier contains a Gallery of Popes. Around the tops of the windows are the "Ancestors of Christ", painted by Michelangelo as part of the ceiling. The ceiling proper contains nine paintings inspired by the Old Testament, showing God's Creation of the World, God's Relationship with Mankind, and Mankind's Fall from God's Grace. Michelangelo was reluctant to work on the ceiling but was unable to refuse an instruction by a pope, Julius II. He worked on it between May 1508 and October 1512, which included a one-year period when he did little work. Given that most of the painting was done by Michelangelo himself, rather than his pupils, completing it in such a short period was an amazing achievement. The ceiling had to be worked on piece by piece as frescoes require painting when the plaster is still damp and most of the time Michelangelo was lying on his back in considerable discomfort. : '''You are not allowed to take photos, record videos, or talk loudly''' in the Sistine Chapel. It is considered a sacred place and the security guards will regularly remind you of this. Although it is very common to spot tourists who flagrantly violate the rules, your visit would be much more pleasant if you obey the authority of the guards. * '''[http://mv.vatican.va/3_EN/pages/SDR/SDR_00_Main.html Raphael's papal apartments]''' (''Stanze'') were begun in 1508 when the painter was summoned to Rome by Pope Julius II. The first room on which he worked was the ''Stanza della Segnatura'', the pope's library and office. The four walls have the themes of Theology, Poetry, Jurisprudence and Philosophy. The ''Poetry'' wall contains portraits of Greek and Ancient Roman poets, as well as of contemporaries of Raphael, such as Dante. The most impressive of the four walls is ''The School of Athens'', representing philosophy. Well-known Greek philosophers are represented, often with the faces of famous Italians of the time. Plato, for example, is believed based on Leonardo da Vinci; Euclid appears to be like Bramante, the first architect for the rebuilt St. Peter's. In the ''Stanza d'Eliodoro'' one of the characters bears a likeness to Raphael himself. Pope Julius II is also introduced into the scenes. * It would be a big mistake to just visit Raphael's rooms and the Sistine Chapel and then leave the museum. The '''Pinacoteca''' should not be missed. Among other works of art, it contains one of the relatively few paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, the unfinished ''St. Jerome in the Wilderness'', three paintings by Raphael, a triptych by Giotto, Caravaggio's ''Entombment'' and works by Perugino and Filippo Lippi. === Swiss Guard === [[Image:Swiss Papal Guards.JPG|thumb|Swiss Papal Guards]] * {{see | name=Swiss Papal Guards | alt=Corpo della Guardia Svizzera | url=https://schweizergarde.ch/ | email= | address= | lat=NA | long=NA | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Pontifical Swiss Guard | image=Guardie svizzere (3496750292).jpg | wikidata=Q171504 | content=They are posted at entrances to the Vatican City to provide security and protect the Pope.

Despite this, later settlement of the building led to the need for restoration work in 1970 and it is said to be still sinking.

All four have Mass daily, some hourly during daylight hours (generally 07:00–15:00).

As obvious as it may sound, a lot of jobs in the Vatican require you to be Catholic. This is not a place you can just move to for work; the hiring process is informal, which means that someone from the Vatican has to recommend you for a position. Male citizens of [[Switzerland]] may serve as Pontifical Swiss Guards if they have completed their mandatory military service, are Catholic, have formal education, and stand at least 174cm tall. Once you manage to get a job at the Vatican, you will immediately become a citizen of the Vatican. Vatican citizenship is unique in the sense that it is based on ''jus officii'', i.e. holding a position in the Catholic Church. As stated in the Lateran treaty, if you lose Vatican citizenship, you will immediately become an Italian citizen, provided that you do not hold other citizenships. == Eat and drink == [[File:Food in the Vatican Museums.jpg|thumb|Food available inside the Vatican Museums]] The Vatican Museums have a reasonable cafeteria-style restaurant, a bar, and a pizzeria, all of which are open during museum opening hours, and until about one hour after closing.

You should not assume that the Vatican only attracts the honest. Keep an eye on your belongings at all times. The Vatican City has its own laws and the Vatican legal system is based on '''canon law''', which means you can expect to be treated with a degree of leniency in the unlikely event you are arrested. In October 2012, the Pope's former butler was arrested and sentenced to 18 months imprisonment, but was pardoned by the pope two months later. Do not let the highly forgiving nature of Vatican law fool you; Vatican authorities regularly collaborate with Italian authorities and you can also expect to be prosecuted under Italian laws. The Vatican can get overcrowded at times. If you're travelling with family members or with a friend, stick together. Supervise your children (if you have any) closely to make sure they are close to you and are not lost among the crowd. As is the case throughout Europe, the local emergency number here is '''112'''. All Vatican law enforcement officials (known as the Gendarmerie) are male and are between the ages of 21 and 25 (as required by Vatican law). They are generally courteous, professional, and helpful. Don't be afraid of asking them for any help. == Stay healthy == Medical care is virtually non-existent in the Vatican. If you require urgent medical attention or health services of any kind, it is strongly recommended that you go to a hospital or a clinic in [[Rome]]. * {{listing | name=Vatican Pharmacy | alt= | url=https://www.farmaciavaticana.va/ | email=spedizioni.farmacia@scv.va | address=Via della Posta, 00120 Città del Vaticano, Vatican City | lat=41.904789 | long=12.456194 | directions= | phone=+39 06 6988 9806 | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q1073751 | lastedit=2022-07-17 | content=Said to be the "busiest pharmacy" in the world, the pharmacy receives thousands of visitors every day.

ITU-T has assigned country code +379 to Vatican City, but this is not in use. Vatican telephone numbers are in the form of "+39 06 698xxxxx", "+39" being the country code for Italy and "06" the area code for Rome (the city surrounding Vatican City). Dialling the country code for calls within Vatican City or between Italy and Vatican City is not required, but the area code must always be dialed, as for any other call within Italy, since Italy is under a closed telephone dialing plan. The telecommunications provider of Vatican City is the Vatican Telephone Service (part of the Governorate's Department of Telecommunications since 2002). == Cope == === Media === It is a little-known fact that the Vatican has a few media outlets. Exposing yourself to Vatican media is a good way to better understand the Catholic Church, how it is actively involved in global affairs, and understand how things work in the world's smallest country.

Respect for the Catholic Church and its practices and doctrine is encouraged. You don't have to praise the Pope or the Catholic Church; just be polite where necessary, refrain from bringing up and discussing controversial subjects (e.g. birth control and contraceptives), and there will be no problems. When visiting the Vatican, it is advised that you dress modestly — no sleeveless shirts, no shorts, no flip-flops, no trainers, and no skirts. If you don't dress modestly, you will be refused entry to various places around the Vatican. Make your first impression a good one. The Vatican is a holy place for millions of Christians around the world. Be open to new experiences, and don't feel afraid of communicating with anyone. Photography and filming in the Vatican are permitted, but you are not allowed to bring selfie sticks, professional photography equipment, and tripods. Flash photography is also disallowed. There's some disagreement on whether or not people should take photographs inside the Sistine Chapel. Remember that it is considered a sacred place and you should not take pictures or record videos when you are inside. As is the case anywhere, if guards tell you to not do something, do it. When visiting places of worship (St. Peter's Basilica being one of them), don't conduct yourself in a way that would be perceived as disruptive or annoying to others. You may take photographs of Swiss guards and they will happily oblige as long as you ask respectfully. Also, refrain from making jokes about the uniforms of Swiss guards; some people could be offended by such jokes. == Go next == Right outside the borders, the amazing attractions of the global city of [[Rome]] await you. If you're up for some more historic sightseeing, visit the beautiful piazzas and palazzos of '''[[Rome/Old_Rome|Old Rome]]''' or head to the ancient Roman ruins in the '''[[Rome/Colosseo|Colosseo]]''' district. If not, the hustle and bustle of the '''[[Rome/Modern_Centre|Modern Centre]]''' with all its shopping opportunities and colourful nightlife might be just what you are looking for. If you can't get enough of the papal atmosphere, head to the '''[[Rome/Esquilino-San Giovanni|San Giovanni]]''' neighbourhood to visit San Giovanni in Laterano, the Pope's cathedral in his role as Bishop of Rome. The small city of '''[[Viterbo]]''' also makes a good next stop. This is where popes took refuge when they were driven out of Rome and where six of the 13th-century popes had their seat. {{routebox | image1=Metropolitana di Roma A.svg | imagesize1=33 | caption1=Rome Metro Line A | directionl1=W | majorl1=END | minorl1=[[Rome/North|North]] | directionr1=E | majorr1=[[Rome/Modern Centre|Modern Centre]] | minorr1=[[Rome/North Centre|North Centre]] }} {{Guidecity}} {{IsPartOf|Rome}} {{Geo|41.904|12.453}} {{Related|UNESCO_World_Heritage_List}} nnxstt2jmza1c7b2g520mamalgjja66 0 30719 4495687 4495620 2022-08-05T12:32:20Z LPfi 79572 /* Eat */ "sauna oven" is not an oven, → on the stove wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Pagebanner default.jpg}} [[File:Salamajärvi national park 2.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5]] '''[http://www.nationalparks.fi/salamajarvinp Salamajärvi National Park]''' is in a rugged watershed region of Suomenselkä in [[Central Finland]]. The '''Salamanperä Strict Nature Reserve''' borders the park. ==Understand== ===History=== The park was founded in 1982. ===Landscape=== The park is in the Suomenselkä water shed area, and features rocky soil, open and wooded mires, lakes, ponds and forests. Hight differences are small. ===Flora and fauna=== The park features Southern Finland’s largest mire wilderness. It also features old-growth forest, especially along Koirajoki and in the Salamanperä Strict Nature Reserve. Most forest in the park had been in commercial use until the park was established, and restoration work has been carried out. The mires were mostly in natural state, and those few dried are also being restored. The park emblem features the wild Finnish forest reindeer (''Rangifer tarandus fennicus'') and three of the trails are named after it: ''peura'' is its Finnish name, the male is ''hirvas'' and the female ''vaadin''. The forest reindeer was the most important game in northern Europe until nearly extinct in the 19th century, surviving only in Russia. Migrating reindeer formed a Finnish population along the border, from which two males and eight females where brought to Koirajärvi (by Koirasalmi) in 1979–1980. Now the Suomenselkä population is about a thousand heads. In addition to the Finnish populations, mostly here and along the border, there are still populations in Russia, which although quite large may be threatened by poaching. Paw-prints of wolves and wolverine can be seen if you are lucky. The elk is still the easiest to spot large animal. The mires have a population of waders, ducks, gulls, whooper swan and grouse. ===Climate=== ==Get in== The main visitor centre is the Koirajärvi information hut in the park. Car is the main option to get to the park unless you like walking (or take a taxi ride). From Möttönen or Kivijärvi the distance is 10 km along a numbered road and another 10 km on gravel. Some visitors have had difficulties finding the way, so be careful with your map or navigator. Koirasalmi, Huttukangas and Erijärvi parking areas are open also in winter. There are coach and bus connections some distance from the park, but sparsely enough that you should check them before deciding on visit dates. Note that there are several Perhontie, Kivijärventie etc., as more than one road towards a settlement is named after it, often so that the name changes at the municipal border, to point at the settlement in the other end. For {{marker|type=go |name=Perho centre |lat=63.215|long=24.416}} or {{marker|type=go |name=Möttönen |lat=63.180|long=24.510}} (not all services) there are coaches from [[Karleby]] (1 hr 20 min–2 hr) along national road 13 via [[Kaustinen]], mostly continuing via [[Kyyjärvi]] and [[Saarijärvi]] to [[Jyväskylä]], some all the way to [[Helsinki]]. In weekdays there should be a bus connection to Salamajärvi. Also Kinnula and Kivijärvi on national road 58 should be reachable by coach. * Take a coach to the village Möttönen in Perho. Continue by taxi from the TB petrol station to the park ({{marker|type=listing |name=Sysilampi |lat=63.2770|long=24.6759}}, {{marker|type=go |name=Huttukangas |lat=63.2428|long=24.7612}} or {{marker|type=listing |name=Koirasalmi |lat=63.237|long=24.821}}, 16–20 km). By car, follow Kivijärventie (road 6520) from Möttönen for some 10 km, turn left to Koirasalmentie, there should be signs. If coming from the east, use Perhontie (the same road) from {{marker|type=go |name=Kivijärvi |lat=63.12 | long=25.07}}, turn right to the other end of Koirasalmentie after some 10 km. There might be school buses or similar along road 6520. * From Möttönen there is some 7 km to the {{marker|type=listing |name=Joutenhovi |lat=63.2117|long=24.6258}} entrance board and parking (likewise along road 6520). Close by is the ''Joutenhovi Nature Tourism Centre of Perho''. From the trailhead it is 10 km to the park proper, by the Peuranpolku trail, 1 km more to Sysilampi. * Peuranpolku, part of the international [[E6 hiking trail]], leads through the park. To get to the park from the north you can take a bus from Perho or {{marker|type=go |name=Kinnula |lat=63.37|long=24.96}} and get off 3 km after respectively before the {{marker|type=go |name=Salamajärvi |lat=63.324|long=24.598}} village (in the school year, weekdays only – and check whether you have to walk from the village). The trail, here also called Hirvaan kierros, crosses the road near the bus stop ({{marker|type=go |name=Erijärvi |lat=63.3312|long=24.6471}}). There is a parking area nearby. Walk 1.5 km by the trail (close to the Salamajärvi lake shore) to get to the park; 7 km to Sysilampi and 13 km from Erijärvi to Koirasalmi. * {{marker|type=go |name=Koirajokivarsi/Saaresmaankoski |lat=63.3148 | long=24.7916}}, also on the Salamajärventie/Mökäläntie/Perhontie (road 7520) between Kinnula and Perho, 13 km from Kinnula, is at the border of the park on the Hirvaan kierros trail, 10 km from Koirasalmi. * Also along the Kivijärventie/Perhontie (road 6520) is the {{marker|type=go |name=Risuperä |lat=63.1902|long=24.7622}} parking area, from where a 7 km trail goes through the Salamanperä Strict Nature Reserve to Koirasalmi. ===Reservations and information=== * {{listing | name=Koirasalmi Nature Information Hut | alt= | url=https://koirasalmi.com | email=luonnollisestimm@suomi24.fi | address=Koirasalmentie 1220 (not recognized by many navigators) | lat= | long= <!-- marker in Get in, coordination needed if added here --> | directions=at Koirasalmi | phone=+358 40-939-8147 | tollfree= | hours=May and September Sa–Su 10:00–16:00; Jun–Aug daily 10:00–16:00, also in some autumn and winter holidays Sa–Su or daily | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit= | content=Guiding, hut reservations, equipment rental (boats, canoes, forest skis, snowshoes, kicksleds etc.), meal services, guided tours etc. The information hut is accessible by wheelchair, as is a toilet, a fireplace, a 2×300 m trail and a fishing spot. }} * {{listing | name=Metsähallitus | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+358 20-639-5270 | tollfree= | hours=Tu–F 10:00–14:00 | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit= | content=Information on the national park. }} ==Fees and permits== There are no fees for visiting the park or for hiking. Also parking is free. Deviating from trails is allowed in much of the park, and everywhere except 1 March–15 July. Following trails most of the time is still recommended, to minimize tear. In the nature reserve, picking berries etc. may be forbidden. If you intend to do anything that affects the environment there, check its regulations. There are rental huts, cabins and saunas and some other non-free accommodation options. There is a fee at the caravan area at Koirasalmi, which has electricity. Equipment, such as rowing boats, canoes, kayaks, backpacks, snow shoes and child carrier backpacks can be rented at Koirasalmi. Checking availability is recommended. A fishing permit is needed for fishing in lake Koirajärvi. You might also want a general fishing permit. ==Get around== [[File:Salamajärvi national park.jpg|thumb|upright|Duckboards over a forested bog.]] There are 60 km marked trails in the park. In the central part of the park, and in the Salamanperä Strict Nature Reserve by the park, trails have to be followed in the nesting season 1.3–15.7. Duckboards can be flooded in the spring. Some terrain is rocky, meaning sturdy footwear supporting also the ankles is recommended, unless you know you can cope. Some of the trails can be used for cross-country skiing in the winter. There are no maintained tracks and markings can be hidden by snow and frost, so some careful use of the map is needed. You can also choose your own routes; skiing on the open mires gives peace to the mind, but keep out of restricted areas in the spring. Canoeing and rowing is possible, except in the restricted areas. ==See== * Bogs and mires; there is a bird watching tower at Heikinjärvenneva. * Old-growth forests, especially along Koirajoki and in the nature reserve. * Peaceful forest lakes * Remains of old tar pits (by lake Koirajärvi and elsewhere) * Old floating dam and remains of old logger’s cabin (Pyydyskoski) There are two nature trails presenting the nature of the area, both starting by Sysilampi Open Wilderness Hut: * Lasten luontopolku (“Kids’ Nature Trail”), 1.5 km * Pakosuon kierros (“Pakosuo Mire Loop”), 4.5 km ==Do== * Rent a sauna for €9/night (no person limit!) with its own pond/lake. * Fishing. Angling and ice fishing is allowed as elsewhere, except in Koirajärvi (permit needed) and in the restricted areas (1.3–15.7). The peak season for fishing is from mid June until mid August, the most popular sites being the lakes Heikinlampi, Koirajärvet, Ahvenlampi and Kaunislampi. * Berry picking: cloudberry (''Rubus chamaemorus'') and cranberry (''Vaccinium oxycoccos'') on the open fens and blueberry (''Vaccinium myrtillus'') and lingonberries (''Vaccinium vitis-idaea'') in the forest. Mind the restricted areas. * Swimming is allowed except in the restricted areas. There is a sandy shore at Koirasalmi, by the campfire shelter. There are swimming platforms at the cabins of Koiralampi and Sysilampi. * Walk along the educational swamp walk (4 km long) * Cross-country skiing * Hiking trips ==Buy== Nature stuff at the national park's offices. ==Eat== Sausage fried over a fire (or even better on the stove of a sauna). There are many designated fire and cooking places, both standalone and at huts and shelters. Campfires are not allowed elsewhere. Open fires are not allowed anywhere when there is a forest fire warning in effect. There are also several businesses that might serve meals in the terrain on advance request. There is a café at the Koirasalmi information hut. ==Drink== * There is a well at the open wilderness hut at Lake Sysilampi. * There is a tap at the wall of the Koirasalmi nature information hut. ==Sleep== ===Lodging=== * Rent a sauna and cottage/cabin (mökki): {{marker|type=sleep| name=Ahvenlampi |lat=63.261|long=24.877}} (22 persons), Kaunislampi (6 persons), Koirasalmi (2+4 persons) * Rental hut at Sysilampi (2 persons) * Open wilderness huts: Sysilampi (4 persons) and {{marker|type=sleep| name=Pitkälahti |lat=63.317|long=24.662}} (2 persons) * Lean-to shelter at the lake {{marker|type=sleep| name=Heikinjärvi |lat=63.253|long=24.767}} and several along the trails to the park, the closest being {{marker|type=sleep| name=Pikku-Syrjä |lat=63.2445|long=24.6510}} and {{marker|type=sleep| name=Nielujärvi |lat=63.3257|long=24.8161}}. There are also several "lap huts", mostly used as rest and cooking shelters. ===Camping=== * Caravan area at Koirasalmi information hut. Electricity, waste collection station, rental sauna, fireplace, etc. Non-free. * Camping is allowed at Koirasalmi, {{marker|type=sleep| name=Pyydyskoski |lat=63.266|long=24.805}}, Sysilampi and Pitkälahti, and in the vicinity of campfire sites and shelters (most of which are in stony terrain). Camping at Koirasalmi is not free, camping elsewhere is. ===Backcountry=== Camping is allowed outside the park and the nature reserve, according to the [[right to access]]. Most of the land around the park and along Peuranpolku and Hirvaan kierros is owned by Metsähallitus, and as long as you are considerate, using the right should be unproblematic.

The '''Salamanperä Strict Nature Reserve''' borders the park. ==Understand== ===History=== The park was founded in 1982. ===Landscape=== The park is in the Suomenselkä water shed area, and features rocky soil, open and wooded mires, lakes, ponds and forests. Hight differences are small. ===Flora and fauna=== The park features Southern Finland’s largest mire wilderness. It also features old-growth forest, especially along Koirajoki and in the Salamanperä Strict Nature Reserve. Most forest in the park had been in commercial use until the park was established, and restoration work has been carried out. The mires were mostly in natural state, and those few dried are also being restored. The park emblem features the wild Finnish forest reindeer (''Rangifer tarandus fennicus'') and three of the trails are named after it: ''peura'' is its Finnish name, the male is ''hirvas'' and the female ''vaadin''. The forest reindeer was the most important game in northern Europe until nearly extinct in the 19th century, surviving only in Russia. Migrating reindeer formed a Finnish population along the border, from which two males and eight females where brought to Koirajärvi (by Koirasalmi) in 1979–1980. Now the Suomenselkä population is about a thousand heads. In addition to the Finnish populations, mostly here and along the border, there are still populations in Russia, which although quite large may be threatened by poaching. Paw-prints of wolves and wolverine can be seen if you are lucky. The elk is still the easiest to spot large animal. The mires have a population of waders, ducks, gulls, whooper swan and grouse. ===Climate=== ==Get in== The main visitor centre is the Koirajärvi information hut in the park. Car is the main option to get to the park unless you like walking (or take a taxi ride). From Möttönen or Kivijärvi the distance is 10 km along a numbered road and another 10 km on gravel. Some visitors have had difficulties finding the way, so be careful with your map or navigator. Koirasalmi, Huttukangas and Erijärvi parking areas are open also in winter. There are coach and bus connections some distance from the park, but sparsely enough that you should check them before deciding on visit dates. Note that there are several Perhontie, Kivijärventie etc., as more than one road towards a settlement is named after it, often so that the name changes at the municipal border, to point at the settlement in the other end. For {{marker|type=go |name=Perho centre |lat=63.215|long=24.416}} or {{marker|type=go |name=Möttönen |lat=63.180|long=24.510}} (not all services) there are coaches from [[Karleby]] (1 hr 20 min–2 hr) along national road 13 via [[Kaustinen]], mostly continuing via [[Kyyjärvi]] and [[Saarijärvi]] to [[Jyväskylä]], some all the way to [[Helsinki]]. In weekdays there should be a bus connection to Salamajärvi. Also Kinnula and Kivijärvi on national road 58 should be reachable by coach. * Take a coach to the village Möttönen in Perho. Continue by taxi from the TB petrol station to the park ({{marker|type=listing |name=Sysilampi |lat=63.2770|long=24.6759}}, {{marker|type=go |name=Huttukangas |lat=63.2428|long=24.7612}} or {{marker|type=listing |name=Koirasalmi |lat=63.237|long=24.821}}, 16–20 km). By car, follow Kivijärventie (road 6520) from Möttönen for some 10 km, turn left to Koirasalmentie, there should be signs. If coming from the east, use Perhontie (the same road) from {{marker|type=go |name=Kivijärvi |lat=63.12 | long=25.07}}, turn right to the other end of Koirasalmentie after some 10 km. There might be school buses or similar along road 6520. * From Möttönen there is some 7 km to the {{marker|type=listing |name=Joutenhovi |lat=63.2117|long=24.6258}} entrance board and parking (likewise along road 6520). Close by is the ''Joutenhovi Nature Tourism Centre of Perho''. From the trailhead it is 10 km to the park proper, by the Peuranpolku trail, 1 km more to Sysilampi. * Peuranpolku, part of the international [[E6 hiking trail]], leads through the park. To get to the park from the north you can take a bus from Perho or {{marker|type=go |name=Kinnula |lat=63.37|long=24.96}} and get off 3 km after respectively before the {{marker|type=go |name=Salamajärvi |lat=63.324|long=24.598}} village (in the school year, weekdays only – and check whether you have to walk from the village). The trail, here also called Hirvaan kierros, crosses the road near the bus stop ({{marker|type=go |name=Erijärvi |lat=63.3312|long=24.6471}}). There is a parking area nearby. Walk 1.5 km by the trail (close to the Salamajärvi lake shore) to get to the park; 7 km to Sysilampi and 13 km from Erijärvi to Koirasalmi. * {{marker|type=go |name=Koirajokivarsi/Saaresmaankoski |lat=63.3148 | long=24.7916}}, also on the Salamajärventie/Mökäläntie/Perhontie (road 7520) between Kinnula and Perho, 13 km from Kinnula, is at the border of the park on the Hirvaan kierros trail, 10 km from Koirasalmi. * Also along the Kivijärventie/Perhontie (road 6520) is the {{marker|type=go |name=Risuperä |lat=63.1902|long=24.7622}} parking area, from where a 7 km trail goes through the Salamanperä Strict Nature Reserve to Koirasalmi. ===Reservations and information=== * {{listing | name=Koirasalmi Nature Information Hut | alt= | url=https://koirasalmi.com | email=luonnollisestimm@suomi24.fi | address=Koirasalmentie 1220 (not recognized by many navigators) | lat= | long= <!-- marker in Get in, coordination needed if added here --> | directions=at Koirasalmi | phone=+358 40-939-8147 | tollfree= | hours=May and September Sa–Su 10:00–16:00; Jun–Aug daily 10:00–16:00, also in some autumn and winter holidays Sa–Su or daily | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit= | content=Guiding, hut reservations, equipment rental (boats, canoes, forest skis, snowshoes, kicksleds etc.), meal services, guided tours etc. The information hut is accessible by wheelchair, as is a toilet, a fireplace, a 2×300 m trail and a fishing spot. }} * {{listing | name=Metsähallitus | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+358 20-639-5270 | tollfree= | hours=Tu–F 10:00–14:00 | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit= | content=Information on the national park. }} ==Fees and permits== There are no fees for visiting the park or for hiking. Also parking is free. Deviating from trails is allowed in much of the park, and everywhere except 1 March–15 July. Following trails most of the time is still recommended, to minimize tear. In the nature reserve, picking berries etc. may be forbidden. If you intend to do anything that affects the environment there, check its regulations. There are rental huts, cabins and saunas and some other non-free accommodation options. There is a fee at the caravan area at Koirasalmi, which has electricity. Equipment, such as rowing boats, canoes, kayaks, backpacks, snow shoes and child carrier backpacks can be rented at Koirasalmi. Checking availability is recommended. A specific fishing permit is needed for fishing in lake Koirajärvi. You might also want the general fishing permit (which is needed anywhere if you have a reel, unless you are a child or elderly). ==Get around== [[File:Salamajärvi national park.jpg|thumb|upright|Duckboards over a forested bog.]] There are 60 km marked trails in the park. In the central part of the park, and in the Salamanperä Strict Nature Reserve by the park, trails have to be followed in the nesting season 1.3–15.7. Duckboards can be flooded in the spring. Some terrain is rocky, meaning sturdy footwear supporting also the ankles is recommended, unless you know you can cope. Some of the trails can be used for cross-country skiing in the winter. There are no maintained tracks and markings can be hidden by snow and frost, so some careful use of the map is needed. You can also choose your own routes; skiing on the open mires gives peace to the mind, but keep out of restricted areas in the spring. Canoeing and rowing is possible, except in the restricted areas. ==See== * Bogs and mires; there is a bird watching tower at Heikinjärvenneva. * Old-growth forests, especially along Koirajoki and in the nature reserve. * Peaceful forest lakes * Remains of old tar pits (by lake Koirajärvi and elsewhere) * Old floating dam and remains of old logger’s cabin (Pyydyskoski) There are two nature trails presenting the nature of the area, both starting by Sysilampi Open Wilderness Hut: * Lasten luontopolku (“Kids’ Nature Trail”), 1.5 km * Pakosuon kierros (“Pakosuo Mire Loop”), 4.5 km ==Do== * Rent a sauna for €9/night (no person limit!) with its own pond/lake. * Fishing. Angling and ice fishing is allowed as elsewhere, except in Koirajärvi (permit needed) and in the restricted areas (1.3–15.7). The peak season for fishing is from mid June until mid August, the most popular sites being the lakes Heikinlampi, Koirajärvet, Ahvenlampi and Kaunislampi. * Berry picking: cloudberry (''Rubus chamaemorus'') and cranberry (''Vaccinium oxycoccos'') on the open fens and blueberry (''Vaccinium myrtillus'') and lingonberries (''Vaccinium vitis-idaea'') in the forest. Mind the restricted areas. * Swimming is allowed except in the restricted areas. There is a sandy shore at Koirasalmi, by the campfire shelter. There are swimming platforms at the cabins of Koiralampi and Sysilampi. * Walk along the educational swamp walk (4 km long) * Cross-country skiing * Hiking trips ==Buy== Nature stuff at the national park's offices. ==Eat== Sausage fried over a fire (or even better on the stove of a sauna). There are many designated fire and cooking places, both standalone and at huts and shelters. Campfires are not allowed elsewhere. Open fires are not allowed anywhere when there is a forest fire warning in effect. There are also several businesses that might serve meals in the terrain on advance request. There is a café at the Koirasalmi information hut. ==Drink== * There is a well at the open wilderness hut at Lake Sysilampi. * There is a tap at the wall of the Koirasalmi nature information hut. ==Sleep== ===Lodging=== * Rent a sauna and cottage/cabin (mökki): {{marker|type=sleep| name=Ahvenlampi |lat=63.261|long=24.877}} (22 persons), Kaunislampi (6 persons), Koirasalmi (2+4 persons) * Rental hut at Sysilampi (2 persons) * Open wilderness huts: Sysilampi (4 persons) and {{marker|type=sleep| name=Pitkälahti |lat=63.317|long=24.662}} (2 persons) * Lean-to shelter at the lake {{marker|type=sleep| name=Heikinjärvi |lat=63.253|long=24.767}} and several along the trails to the park, the closest being {{marker|type=sleep| name=Pikku-Syrjä |lat=63.2445|long=24.6510}} and {{marker|type=sleep| name=Nielujärvi |lat=63.3257|long=24.8161}}. There are also several "lap huts", mostly used as rest and cooking shelters. ===Camping=== * Caravan area at Koirasalmi information hut. Electricity, waste collection station, rental sauna, fireplace, etc. Non-free. * Camping is allowed at Koirasalmi, {{marker|type=sleep| name=Pyydyskoski |lat=63.266|long=24.805}}, Sysilampi and Pitkälahti, and in the vicinity of campfire sites and shelters (most of which are in stony terrain). Camping at Koirasalmi is not free, camping elsewhere is. ===Backcountry=== Camping is allowed outside the park and the nature reserve, according to the [[right to access]]. Most of the land around the park and along Peuranpolku and Hirvaan kierros is owned by Metsähallitus, and as long as you are considerate, using the right should be unproblematic. Where the trails go on private land, being considerate is especially important, as the trails depend on cooperation with land owners. ==Stay safe== There are areas in the park without mobile phone coverage or with interference. Try a more open or higher place.

With a temperate climate and lush natural environs, the "Riviera of the West" is a pleasant day or weekend trip from L.A. Its wide beaches, highly rated wineries, and a large variety of shopping and dining choices enable the town of just 90,000 residents to enjoy the sort of cultural and social amenities which are usually found only in much larger cities. ==Understand== Although the common perception of Santa Barbara is as a playground for the rich and famous, the reality is that the average income within city limits is only slightly higher than California as a whole. Notable for its California Mission-style architecture (a long-standing local ordinance ensures that all commercial construction follows the Mission theme, which results in a plethora of red-tiled roofs and ''faux'' adobe supermarkets), local residents are intensely proud of their city's roots and traditions, and a number of hugely popular festivals throughout the year celebrate the many cultures found in the city. In addition, the city's large Latino population, concentrated in the east side of the city around Milpas Street, means there are a great many tacquerias and Mexican restaurants to be found. Santa Barbara has also been influenced by Los Angeles' food-truck scene. ===Orientation=== [[File:Santa Barbara Airport 5173.jpg|thumb|Santa Barbara Airport]] The city of Santa Barbara is part of what's known as the South Coast, so named because the coastline between Point Conception and the city of [[Ventura]] faces more south than west. The road that serves as the city's nexus is '''State Street''', which runs northwest-southeast in and near downtown and east-west in the uptown area. It continues west as Hollister Avenue through [[Goleta]]. The area immediately to the east of lower State Street, between the waterfront and Highway 101, is known as the '''Funk Zone''' and has become one of the premier tourist areas of Santa Barbara, and is home to wineries, breweries, art galleries and restaurants, as well as a more youthful and trendier atmosphere. Just a few blocks above the Funk Zone, State Street becomes pedestrian only for eight blocks before opening up to traffic again. The eight blocks closed to cars, called the '''State Street Promenade''' are the core of Santa Barbara's downtown. The Latino part of town is on the east side of the city and has its own main street, '''Milpas Street''', which is almost a mile away from, but parallel to, State Street in and near downtown. Upper State Street connects to Highway 154, a state highway that connects Santa Barbara with Los Olivos and wine country. The orientation can be confusing to visitors, especially since locals often give directions as though the mountains were east, rather than north, and the ocean west, rather than south. "Go north on the 101" means literally "go west"; and if someone says "south of town" they don't mean in the ocean, but down the coast in the direction of Carpinteria and Ventura. Santa Barbara's downtown neighborhoods are generally working, middle- and upper-middle-class areas, while [[Montecito]] to the east of the city and Hope Ranch to the west are two of the city's wealthy enclaves, known as part-time hideouts for [[Hollywood]] celebrities and rich retirees. {{listing | name=Santa Barbara Visitors Center | url=http://www.santabarbaraca.com/visitor-info/visitors-center/ | email= | address=1 Garden Street, downtown | lat=34.414259 | long=-119.68714 | directions= | phone=+1 805-965-3021 | tollfree= | fax= | hours=9AM (10AM on Su) - 5PM (4PM Nov-Jan) | price= | content=Has information about Santa Barbara, including maps, pricing and hours of attractions, restaurant guides, bus and waterfront shuttle schedules. }} ===Climate=== Santa Barbara has slightly different climate than the rest of the area. It maintains idyllic temperatures for most of the year and it is rare to go a week during any season without at least one day reaching {{F|70}}. There are occasional temperature extremes: heat waves are common in the late summer and early fall, and night time temperatures can reach down into the thirties during the winter. The best times to travel are not always what travelers expect. Spring and early summer are cool and cloudy through the mornings and often into the afternoons, with temperatures in the 60s and low 70s in what the locals call "May Gray" and "June Gloom". During August and early September temperatures get into the 80s and cloudy days are rare. In mid to late September and October daytime temperatures stay mostly in the 70s. The rainy season typically lasts from November through March, but even during the rainy season more days are sunny than not. {{climate | units = imperial | align = none | janhigh = 65 | febhigh = 65 | marhigh = 66 | aprhigh = 69 | mayhigh = 70 | junhigh = 71 | julhigh = 75 | aughigh = 76 | sephigh = 75 | octhigh = 73 | novhigh = 69 | dechigh = 65 | janlow = 46 | feblow = 48 | marlow = 50 | aprlow = 52 | maylow = 55 | junlow = 58 | jullow = 60 | auglow = 60 | seplow = 60 | octlow = 56 | novlow = 50 | declow = 47 | janprecip = 4.4 | febprecip = 4.6 | marprecip = 2.9 | aprprecip = 1.2 | mayprecip = 0.3 | junprecip = 0.1 | julprecip = 0.0 | augprecip = 0.1 | sepprecip = 0.1 | octprecip = 0.9 | novprecip = 1.8 | decprecip = 3.0 | description = {{ForecastNOAA|Santa Barbara|34.4167|-119.6844}} &#160;&#160; Data from [http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datatools/normals NOAA (1981-2010)] }} ==Get in== {{mapframe|34.42|-119.71|zoom=12}} {{mapshape}} ===By plane=== * {{listing | type=go | name=Santa Barbara Municipal Airport | alt={{IATA|SBA}} | url=http://www.flysba.com/ | email= | address= | lat=34.426111 | long=-119.840278 | directions=near the neighboring town of [[Goleta]] | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Santa Barbara Municipal Airport | image=Santa Barbara Airport Terminal.jpg | wikidata=Q515748 |lastedit=2020-04-17| content=The local airport for the area, 7 miles west of downtown.

Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District's Route 11 bus links the airport with downtown Santa Barbara. }} The airport can be pricey, and flight schedules limited; flying to [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles (LAX)]] or [[Burbank#By plane|Burbank (BUR)]] and driving or taking public transportation to Santa Barbara may come out ahead on price, time, or both. Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner (see below) stops at Burbank airport 5 times a day on its way to Santa Barbara. From LAX, take the Santa Barbara Airbus for a direct ride or the FlyAway to Union Station and Amtrak to Santa Barbara. Los Angeles is known for its wildly unpredictable traffic, and even the train sometimes experiences delays, so allow yourself extra time if you go this route. ===By train=== {{seealso|Rail travel in the United States}} [[Image:Santa_Barbara_station_2022.jpg|260px|right|thumb|Santa Barbara railway station.]] '''[http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak]''' provides service to Santa Barbara on the ''Pacific Surfliner'' ([[San Luis Obispo]] to [[San Diego]]) and ''Coast Starlight'' ([[Seattle]] to [[Los Angeles]]) trains. The ride is beautiful on its legs that are near the coast, but delays do occur, especially on the Coast Starlight. The {{marker|type=go|name=Santa Barbara station|lat=34.413636|long=-119.692895}} is housed in a historical landmark, built in 1902 and located at 209 State St, an easy walk from the beaches and the commercial areas of State St. ===By bus=== The '''[http://www.greyhound.com/en/locations/terminal.aspx?city=893420 Greyhound]''' station is downtown, at 224 Chapala, next to the Amtrak station. The [http://www.sbairbus.com/ Santa Barbara Airbus] operates eight times per day between Goleta, Santa Barbara, Carpinteria and LAX. Central Coast Shuttle also operates an airport shuttle between Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and LAX. Flixbus serves Santa Barbara on its way to San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles. VISTA Transit runs regional service from Ventura and Oxnard. Santa Barbara MTD, the city bus, runs service from Goleta and Carpinteria if you're already in the metro area. ===By car=== There is only one major highway in and out of Santa Barbara: US 101, which is coterminous with [[Pacific Coast Highway|Highway 1]] for over 30 miles (48 km) both north and south (well, east, but down the coast) of the city. From the 101, coming from the south, downtown Santa Barbara can be accessed via the Garden St. exit, while the beaches can be found off the Cabrillo Blvd. off ramp. From the north, get off the 101 at either the Mission or Carrillo St. off ramps. Traffic patterns are the opposite from the famous Los Angeles grid lock, as the southbound 101 can come to a grinding halt on Sunday afternoons. State Route 154 is a secondary road that leads over the mountains to the Santa Ynez Valley, and to towns like [[Los Olivos]] and [[Solvang]]; it is accurately [http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LandArch/16_livability/scenic_highways/scenic_hwy.htm designated a "Scenic Highway" by the California Department of Transportation]. However, it's probably less of a way to get into town and more of a road to take on a day trip from Santa Barbara. ==Get around== ===By bus=== The [http://www.sbmtd.gov Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District (SBMTD)] runs buses all over Santa Barbara proper, and neighboring Goleta, Montecito and Carpinteria. Routes and fares are on their website. It's a cheap and fairly comprehensive way to get around town, but not particularly fast. The SBMTD also runs shuttle bus services along State St between downtown Sola St and the waterfront, and along the waterfront between the Zoo and the Harbor, leaving every 15 or 30 minutes between 9AM and 6PM (till 10PM F-Sa in summer). Fare is 25 to 50 cents; get a free shuttle transfer to switch between the two shuttles. [http://www.bills-bus.com/ Bill's Bus] specializes in transporting the student party crowd safely Downtown from Isla Vista and back again on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. $10 round trip, $7 one way. ===By car=== Santa Barbara is fairly easy to drive around, and in most areas parking is rarely difficult to find, either in a municipal garage or on the street. One confusing wrinkle is the presence of 3 similarly named major streets, Carrillo St, Castillo St, and Cabrillo Blvd. Don't mix them up. As anywhere, you shouldn't drive under the influence of alcohol, but be aware that Santa Barbara police are particularly merciless about catching and prosecuting drunk drivers. Budget and Hertz car rental outlets are present at the airport terminal, and several other rental agencies are located in Santa Barbara. === By foot === With a mild climate, walking is a great way to get around town, but might be inconvenient outside of downtown and the funk zone. === By taxi === Taxis are plentiful but expensive, but given the relatively compact size of downtown Santa Barbara, they're viable if you don't need to go out too far into the suburbs. === By bike or inline skate === Along the waterfront, many businesses offer bicycle or inline skate rentals for exploring the beach areas, and "rickshaw" taxis are also common. ==See== * {{see | name=Santa Barbara County Courthouse | alt= | url=https://santabarbaraca.com/businesses/santa-barbara-county-courthouse/ | email= | address=1100 Anacapa St | lat=34.42435 | long=-119.702461 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours=M-F 8AM-5PM, Sa Su 10AM-4:30PM, Guided tours, M-Sa 2PM and M, Tu, F 10:30AM | price=Free, but donation suggested | wikipedia=Santa Barbara County Courthouse | image=Santa Barbara County Courthouse.jpg | wikidata=Q2704990 | content=Built in 1929 and the grandest building in the town.

The tenth [[El Camino Real|California Mission]] to be constructed, it was consecrated in 1786 as the first of Father Lasuen's nine missions. Today, Mission Santa Barbara is both a scenic wonder and a fine anthropological study of original native culture in the surrounding area. Santa Barbara is the only California mission with twin bell towers, owing to its status as a cathedral in the early days of California statehood. It also has had a longer continuous association with the Franciscans than any other mission, and a longer continuous history of choral music than any other mission. The headquarters of the mission system in the 1830s and 40s, it is where many of the archives of the California missions are held. Note the adjacent pottery kiln and tanning vat ruins. The mission also features a small but well-regarded rose garden. The mission continues to be used as an active church, with regular masses on Wednesdays, Sundays, and holy days. Admission to masses is free, but a small donation is customary. }} * {{see | name=Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History | alt= | url=http://www.sbnature.org | email= | address=2559 Puesta Del Sol | lat=34.4411 | long=-119.7146 | directions=follow signs from nearby Santa Barbara Mission | phone=+1 805 682-4711 | tollfree= | fax= | hours=Daily 10AM-5PM | price=$12 for adults; $8 for seniors and 13-17 years; $7 for 2-12 years; free on the last Sunday of every month except September | wikipedia=Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History | image=Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History - exterior.JPG | wikidata=Q4306264 | lastedit=2018-01-05 | content=This large, well-presented museum is - literally - a hidden treasure.

State Street alone offers more than a mile stretch of everything from trendy boutiques to popular chain stores like Restoration Hardware. '''El Paseo''' (812 State St., downtown) is an upscale mall that bills itself as "California's First Shopping Center," while lushly themed and nearby '''Paseo Nuevo''' (651 Paseo Nuevo) offers Nordstrom's and more than 50 specialty shops. Whatever you're looking for, you'll likely find it on State Street. There is plenty of parking downtown with the first 75 minutes free in most lots (except at the beach).

Locally sourced food is a point of pride for many chefs, who are able to draw from the bounty of fresh produce grown within a few hundred miles of the city, as well as the fresh seafood that's pulled in from the ocean daily. The town's elevated cultural status attracts high-powered chefs from all over the world, and the selection and sheer variety of local fare is quite astonishing for a community of 90,000. In addition, Santa Barbara's Mexican food ranks with any other town in California and the food truck scene born in L.A. has emerged in the city as well. Here are just a few of Santa Barbara's culinary choices: * {{eat | name=East Beach Tacos | alt= | url= | email= | address=226 S Milpas St Santa Barbara, CA 93103 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours=11:00-6:00 | price=10-20$ | lastedit=2022-08-01 | content=Innovative taco spot with great tacos, good prices and a weird location attached to batting cages.

[[Image:Wine Tasting 133.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Santa Barbara Wine Country]] *'''[[Cachuma Lake Recreation Area]]''' - This rural county park in the hills, about 18 miles up Route 154, makes for a pleasant day trip for kayaking or hiking, or you can arrange to camp there. * '''[[Channel Islands National Park]]''' - Channel Islands National Park is a series of islands that are home to incredible marine life, beautiful and remote scenery, and the wily Channel Islands fox. While most trips to the Channel Islands depart from [[Ventura]], Truth Aquatics runs trips from Santa Barbara. * '''[[Goleta]]''' - Neighboring Santa Barbara to the west, Goleta offers similar beaches and resorts to its more famous neighbor. It is also home to a grove of trees that is an overwintering area for monarch butterflies, with the insects gathering in huge numbers each year from mid-November until mid-February. *'''[[Los Olivos]]''' - About 50 miles north of Santa Barbara on Highway 154. This is a cute little one-horse town with about 20 local winery tasting rooms lined up on Grand St. A great place to go wine tasting without having to drive a zillion miles from winery to winery. * '''[[Montecito]]''' - This affluent town is located just east of Santa Barbara along the coast and is home to many rich and famous, including Oprah Winfrey. Montecito Village is home to some interesting shops and markets, while upscale resorts can be found on the coast. * '''[[Solvang]]''' - Located approximately 40 miles north of Santa Barbara in the Santa Ynez Valley, Solvang is a gingerbread town. What must have started several decade back as a small "Little Denmark" tourist trap has grown into an entire town and surrounding community obsessed with its own overwhelming Danishness. Every sign, roof, light post and pothole is Danish-themed here, and reports of wandering bands of drunken men in plastic Viking helmets are firmly founded in reality. Take Highway 101 north/west to Buellton (the home of the original Pea Soup Anderson's), exit at the Highway 246 offramp and follow the destination signs to Solvang. If you're up for a twisty drive, take Highway 154 (also known as the San Marcos Pass) back to Santa Barbara at sunset and enjoy an unforgettable view. * '''[[Santa Ynez]]''' - 31 miles northwest of Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez sits at the heart of the rural Santa Ynez valley, an area that attracts travelers to its many wineries. The valley was the setting for the 2004 film ''Sideways'', and fans of the film are known to make pilgrimages to the inns and restaurants from the movie. *'''Wine Country'''. North on US 101 or Highway 154; pretty much all of the county north of the mountains. *'''[[Los Angeles]]''' is about 90 miles down the coast, but whether you take the 101 or the Pacific Coast Highway (Route 1), be prepared for a major tie-up somewhere along the route in the best of times. With no traffic, the trip could take you 90 minutes, but actual driving time is often easily twice that and can be more. Both routes have their appeal, though, as after they diverge in Ventura, Route 1 goes past beautiful coastline and the Malibu Cliffs, whereas the 101 climbs over the Conejo Grade into [[Thousand Oaks]] and then the [[San Fernando Valley]]. Also accessible by Amtrak, Flixbus, or Greyhound. Contrary to popular belief, Los Angeles does have decent public transportation and a car-free weekend can be had at places like Hollywood or Santa Monica. {{routebox | image1=US 101.svg | imagesize1=22 | image1a=California 1.svg | imagesize1a=22 | directionl1=N | majorl1=[[San Luis Obispo]] | minorl1=[[Goleta]] | directionr1=S | majorr1=[[Los Angeles]] [[Image:US 101.svg|18px]] / [[Long Beach]] [[Image:California 1.svg|18px]] | minorr1=[[Montecito]] | image2=California 154.svg | imagesize2=22 | directionl2=W | majorl2=[[Los Olivos]] | minorl2=[[Santa Ynez]] | directionr2=E | majorr2=END | minorr2= | image3=Amtrak Pacific Surfliner Icon.png | imagesize3=100 | directionl3=N | majorl3=[[San Luis Obispo]] | minorl3=[[Goleta]] | directionr3=S | majorr3=[[Los Angeles]] | minorr3=[[Carpinteria]] }} {{isPartOf|Santa Barbara County}} {{usablecity}} {{geo|34.42|-119.71|zoom=13}} 1yep8e88bnoina0cr1rjnngmih4de5y 0 31500 4495759 4472085 2022-08-05T15:04:08Z Sbb1413 2217354 wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Santiniketan Wikivoyage Banner.jpg}} '''Santiniketan''' is a city in [[Birbhum|Birbhum district]] of [[West Bengal]]. It forms one urban agglomeration with Bolpur. ==Understand== The town is home to '''Visva Bharati''', founded by Rabindranath Tagore in 1921. Visva Bharati was declared a central university in 1951. It has produced such diverse personalities as Indira Gandhi and Amartya Sen and has been home to great artists and musicians. Around 1.2 million visitors visit Santiniketan annually. ==Get in== ===By plane=== The nearest airport from Santiniketan is the Andal (Durgapur) airport. But a few flights are present in this airport. Netaji Subhas Airport (Kolkata) is the nearest airport to get in Santiniketan smoothly. Taxis are available from the airport to Santiniketan (approx 169 km). You can also use trains from Sealdah and Howrah stations. ===By train=== Bolpur is the railway station for Santiniketan. It is two to three hours by train from [[Kolkata]]. Convenient connections are 13017/13018 ''Gana Devta Express'' departing Howrah at 06:05, 3015/3016 ''Shantiniketan Express'' departing Howrah at 10:05AM (this is the only train which originates/terminates in Howrah and Bolpur, so one has a better chance of finding seats on this train rather than the other trains if one buys unreserved tickets. If you are buying reserved tickets, then it won't make a difference), 2347/2348 ''Sahid Rampurhat Express'' departing Howrah at noon (and taking only 2 hr 20 min - the shortest time), 3011/3012 ''Malda Inter-city Express'' departing Howrah at 3:25PM, 5657/5658 ''Kanchenjunga Express'' departing Sealdah at 6:45AM, 2345/2346 ''Saraighat Express'', 215/216 ''Visvabharati Fast Passenger'', 3071/3072 ''Jamalpur Express'', 209/210 ''Darbhanga Passenger'' are other good trains. For schedules check with [http://www.indianrail.gov.in/ Indian Railways]. If you are female and taking the train, look for designated "Ladies Cars" to enjoy a more comfortable and hopefully less crowded ride. If you are travelling with a lot of baggage, you may struggle for space even in reserved cars, and hiring a car may be a better alternative to reach Santiniketan. * {{listing | type=go | name=Bolpur Shantiniketan railway station | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=23.658297 | long=87.698499 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Bolpur Shantiniketan railway station | wikidata=Q25549462 | lastedit=2020-05-03 | content= }} ===By bus=== Santiniketan is well connected by buses from all around. From Kolkata, if you want to go by bus, then you have to take Kolkata-Asansol bus or Kolkata-Suri bus. For Asansol bound bus you have to get down near Panagarh and for Suri bound bus you have to get down near Ilambazar and for both cases you have to catch another bus for Santiniketan. ===By car=== Santiniketan is connected with Kolkata by an excellent 4-lane freeway. From Kolkata travel to Dankuni and take the Durgapur Expressway. It is now part of NH 19. It will bypass Saktigarh, Bardhaman and Panagarh. At Panagarh (Darjeeling Mor) turn right. After the highway crosses the Ajay river take the road to the right at Ilambazar and proceed towards Bolpur. At the Santiniketan-Sriniketan junction (also called Surul Mor) take the road to the left. Santiniketan is 212 km from Kolkata by road. Good drivers can cover the distance in about 3 hours. Coming from the direction of Kolkata, one can also take the NH-2B route via Talit-Guskara-Bhedia-Surul Mor by taking a right turn from the Durgapur Expressway just after crossing Burdwan Town on the right (where the Renaissance Township is on the left) and taking this route via Nababhat Mor. It saves time and the distance is less from the above route by about 50 km. ==Get around== {{mapframe|zoom=12|layer=W}} Totos are the most convenient and cheap means of transportation these days. The older Cyclerickshaws are still available and can be availed, though it would cost more. Hired cars and taxis are not always readily available. If you are a tourist, don't get on the cycle rickshaws in front of the museum that are manned by the persistent teenagers as they will take you on a farcical circulatory routes to make you spend more. Choose the older guys. Or just walk round the town. See [http://www.visvabharati.ac.in/CampusMap.html the map of Visva Bharati complex] online. If you are planning an extended stay, it may be worth your while to purchase a bicycle from one of the many local cycle shops. A brand new bicycle costs ₹3,200-3,600. ===Landmarks=== * {{listing|type=go | name= Bolpur Bus Station | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= 23.6658| long= 87.6813| directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{listing|type=go | name=Surul Morh | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=23.6637 | long=87.6652 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=Those coming by road from Darjeeling Morh, Panagarh (on NH 19/ Grand Trunk Road) have to turn left here for Santiniketan.

St Helens is a growing town, which takes most of its influences from the nearby city of [[Liverpool]]. ==Understand== The town was established from the unity of local townships '''Sutton''', '''Parr''', '''Windle''', and '''Eccleston'''. A town hall was only constructed in 1839, and St Helens became a parish of its own right in 1852. Originally an industrial district providing success in coal mining and glass manufacturing, St Helens is now a [http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/data_rate_page.jsp?u_id=10102753&c_id=10001043&data_theme=T_REL&id=1 young and populous town]. St Helens is one of the most ethnically and culturally homogeneous places in Britain with over 98.8% of the population identifying themselves as White. As a former industrial town, St Helens has a serious male unemployment problem with 9% of men being unemployed, rising to 19.6% in the Parr and Hardshaw area. ==Get in== St Helens sits at the heart of the region's motorway network (M6, M62, M57, M58) and midway between the urban and cultural hubs of Liverpool (13 miles) & Manchester (22 miles) plus their respective airports - Liverpool John Lennon (14 miles), and [[Manchester Airport]] (28 miles). === By train === Trains from [[Liverpool]] Lime Street run every 30 min via Edge Hill, Eccleston Park and Thatto Park, taking 30 min to St Helens Central. They continue to [[Wigan]] North Western, and some go on to Preston and Blackpool. {{marker | name=St Helens Central | type=go | lat=53.4528 | long=-2.7303 }} has a staffed ticket office and machines, and toilets but no waiting room. There is step-free access to both platforms. Plusbus tickets are available. Trains from [[Manchester]] Piccadilly and Victoria run hourly via [[Newton-le-Willows]] towards Liverpool Lime Street, and stop at St Helens Junction and Lea Green at the south edge of town. {{marker | name=St Helens Junction | type=go | lat=53.4339 | long=-2.7003 }} has a staffed ticket office and machines but no toilets. For step-free access to the Liverpool-bound platform you need to call ahead, no barriers Manchester-bound. Plusbus is available, and you'll want the bus to reach town centre. ===By bus=== [http://www.nationalexpress.com National Express], the UK's largest scheduled coach company has just one route serving St Helens, the London service, taking over 4 hours. However many more coach services call at Liverpool which is a short train ride away. St Helens bus station is a few minutes walk from St Helens Central train station, which has service from to Warrington, Liverpool, Wigan and Leigh. ==Get around== {{mapframe}} Most of St Helens attractions are a short walk away, but bus travel is still a handy and quick way of navigating the town. The best place to start is by visiting the main bus station, which isn't easily missed, and is 200 yards from St Helens Central rail station, and next to the town hall, public library, theatre and shopping arcade. The main bus station has a tourist travel information centre which are open during typical office working hours, and can help with information on getting anywhere within Merseyside. Bus stops are frequent and plentiful throughout the town. For safety, the buses are best not used after 7PM. They are not necessarily dangerous, but can often make a person feel hostile and not a pleasant way to travel late at night. To be safe, get a taxi. There are plenty of taxi ranks and cab services throughout the town, all of which are easy to find, and usually situated near popular night time venues. Everyone knows at least one taxi number, so it might be worth asking a local for a contact. ==See== St Helens is not renowned for its architecture, but does provide varied places to see. * {{see | name=Carr Mill Dam | alt= | url= | email= | address=Old Garswood Road | lat=53.477 | long=-2.715 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q5045976| wikipedia=Carr Mill Dam | lastedit= | content=Picturesque lakeside trails and walks as well as national competitive powerboating and angling events. }} * {{see | name=Colliers Moss Common | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit= | content=It was created on the waste from a power station and is a diverse landscape with water features (including lagoons, streams, wetland areas and a fishery), focal points, artworks, seating areas and an amphitheatre all serve to make the whole site a beautiful and peaceful place to explore as well as important habitat for wildlife.

Monday and Tuesday nights don't provide much excitement, while Friday and Saturday are the busiest nights out. There are enough bars and pubs in town centre to stop you getting bored, so it's often good to try the different spots and see what suits your taste most for your night out. There's a good mix of age, so don't feel like you'll be surrounded by students. There are few youth-only bars so people don't typically feel out of place. There is no dress code for a night out but don't expect to be refused entry if you haven't at least made the effort. Jeans are ok for most places, but trainers/sneakers aren't usually allowed for popular nights when the bar is already populated. Jogging pants, shorts, tracksuits will never get you accepted into any of the bars no matter what night. 'Casual smart' is the typical unspoken dress code. Be warned, like most towns and cities, certain bars and pubs may make you feel hostile because of the way you are dressed or the way you act. Make sure to check the ''[[#Be safe|Be safe]]'' section when in town at nighttime. With Bar Diva and Flex 2 and an increased police presence, there appears to be a slowly improving acceptance of gays and lesbians in many of the pubs around the town, including The Counting House. * {{drink | name=The Counting House | alt= | url= | email= | address=16 Hardshaw Street, WA10 1RE | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=A popular club for all ages.

The town centre is usually reasonably safe but avoid groups of young people, particularly if you are gay, non-white or if you dress unconventionally. Particular caution should be taken in the deprived Parr and Hardshaw areas to the northeast of the town centre, but St Helens is demographically very mixed and there are housing estates and areas across the borough that it would be wise to avoid unless escorted by a local. Areas which are experiencing rising crime rates in the town and borough include Clock Face, Rainhill, Sutton and Thatto Heath and therefore non-locals should exercise caution in these districts. In the winter, when the sun sets earlier, the centre of town can be less friendly. There is a small gap between shops closing and bars becoming populated where the town is overrun with disrespectful youths or beggars. Nighttime is fairly safe as long as you take care of yourself and those you're out with. Police are often patrolling or monitoring the streets but are enormously overstretched and often very slow to respond to calls for help. Fights are usually alcohol-fuelled and around pub closing time but can be avoided with a little tact or swift feet. Taxi ranks, take-aways, bus stops and Bridge Street are best avoided after the pubs close. It is very difficult to get a taxi home at the end of a night, so it is a good idea to book a minicab in advance or start making your way home ahead of the crowd. ==Go next== While you're in the North West, why not travel locally outside St Helens and see a few places. * [[Liverpool]] - via train, go to ''St Helens Central'' station, and catch the train to ''Liverpool Lime Street''. 12 miles. * [[Formby]] - fantastic beach, sand dunes and pine woods :Catch the train to Liverpool, and take the Formby train from Liverpool Central station. 19 miles from St Helens. * [[Blackpool]] - home to [http://www.blackpoolpleasurebeach.com/ Pleasure Beach] theme park, Blackpool tower, and a fantastic light display for half the year, Blackpool is a great beside-the-sea city. :Catch the train from St Helens Central to Blackpool North. 45 miles. {{routebox | image1=UK-Motorway-M62.svg | imagesize1=50 | directionl1=W | majorl1=[[Liverpool]] | minorl1= | directionr1=E | minorr1=[[Warrington]] | majorr1=[[Manchester]] | image2=UK road A57.svg | imagesize2=40 | directionl2=W | majorl2=[[Liverpool]] | minorl2= | directionr2=SE | minorr2=[[Widnes]] | majorr2=[[Warrington]] | image3=UK road A58.svg | imagesize3=40 | directionl3=SW | majorl3=merges with [[Image:UK-Motorway-M57.svg|40px]] and [[Image:UK road A57.svg|30px]] | minorl3= | directionr3=NE | minorr3=[[Wigan]] | majorr3=[[Bolton]] }} {{geo|53.4541|-2.7461}} {{IsPartOf|Merseyside}} {{usablecity}} 7tnrou2052vmf5pd0hexnstxgwxtro4 4496039 4495857 2022-08-06T10:58:27Z Grahamsands 2164467 /* Get in */ bus wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|St Helens (England) banner MTT Open Day.jpg|pgname=St Helens|caption=North West Museum of Road Transport}} '''St Helens''' is a town in the conurbation of [[Merseyside]], [[England]], and is traditionally part of the historic county of [[Lancashire]]. St Helens is a growing town, which takes most of its influences from the nearby city of [[Liverpool]]. ==Understand== The town was established from the unity of local townships '''Sutton''', '''Parr''', '''Windle''', and '''Eccleston'''. A town hall was only constructed in 1839, and St Helens became a parish of its own right in 1852. Originally an industrial district providing success in coal mining and glass manufacturing, St Helens is now a [http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/data_rate_page.jsp?u_id=10102753&c_id=10001043&data_theme=T_REL&id=1 young and populous town]. St Helens is one of the most ethnically and culturally homogeneous places in Britain with over 98.8% of the population identifying themselves as White. As a former industrial town, St Helens has a serious male unemployment problem with 9% of men being unemployed, rising to 19.6% in the Parr and Hardshaw area. == Get in == St Helens sits at the heart of the region's motorway network (M6, M62, M57, M58) and midway between the urban and cultural hubs of Liverpool (13 miles) & Manchester (22 miles) plus their respective airports - Liverpool John Lennon (14 miles), and [[Manchester Airport]] (28 miles). === By train === Trains from [[Liverpool]] Lime Street run every 30 min via Edge Hill, Eccleston Park and Thatto Park, taking 30 min to St Helens Central. They continue to [[Wigan]] North Western, and some go on to Preston and Blackpool. From London Euston change at Liverpool or Wigan, either will take 2 hr 45 min. {{marker | name=St Helens Central | type=go | lat=53.4528 | long=-2.7303 }} has a staffed ticket office and machines, and toilets but no waiting room. There is step-free access to both platforms. Plusbus tickets are available. Trains from [[Manchester]] Piccadilly and Victoria run hourly via [[Newton-le-Willows]] towards Liverpool Lime Street, and stop at St Helens Junction and Lea Green at the south edge of town. {{marker | name=St Helens Junction | type=go | lat=53.4339 | long=-2.7003 }} has a staffed ticket office and machines but no toilets. For step-free access to the Liverpool-bound platform you need to call ahead, no barriers Manchester-bound. Plusbus is available, and you'll want the bus to reach town centre. === By bus === The major national bus lines no longer have regular routes to St Helens. Arriva Bus 10 / 10A runs every 20 min from Liverpool Queen St, taking 70 min. Don't take the 10B, which branches off to Huyton. Bus 329 runs every 40 min from Warrington, taking 35 min. Bus 352 runs every 20 min from Wigan, taking 45 min. St Helens bus station is 100 yards west of Central railway station. ==Get around== {{mapframe}} Most of St Helens attractions are a short walk away, but bus travel is still a handy and quick way of navigating the town. The best place to start is by visiting the main bus station, which isn't easily missed, and is 200 yards from St Helens Central rail station, and next to the town hall, public library, theatre and shopping arcade. The main bus station has a tourist travel information centre which are open during typical office working hours, and can help with information on getting anywhere within Merseyside. Bus stops are frequent and plentiful throughout the town. For safety, the buses are best not used after 7PM.

There are plenty of taxi ranks and cab services throughout the town, all of which are easy to find, and usually situated near popular night time venues. Everyone knows at least one taxi number, so it might be worth asking a local for a contact. ==See== St Helens is not renowned for its architecture, but does provide varied places to see. * {{see | name=Carr Mill Dam | alt= | url= | email= | address=Old Garswood Road | lat=53.477 | long=-2.715 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q5045976| wikipedia=Carr Mill Dam | lastedit= | content=Picturesque lakeside trails and walks as well as national competitive powerboating and angling events. }} * {{see | name=Colliers Moss Common | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit= | content=It was created on the waste from a power station and is a diverse landscape with water features (including lagoons, streams, wetland areas and a fishery), focal points, artworks, seating areas and an amphitheatre all serve to make the whole site a beautiful and peaceful place to explore as well as important habitat for wildlife.

Excellent food, with the banquets being very good value. }} ==Drink== St Helens has an exciting and extensive list of bars and pubs, catering for all tastes. Monday and Tuesday nights don't provide much excitement, while Friday and Saturday are the busiest nights out. There are enough bars and pubs in town centre to stop you getting bored, so it's often good to try the different spots and see what suits your taste most for your night out. There's a good mix of age, so don't feel like you'll be surrounded by students. There are few youth-only bars so people don't typically feel out of place. There is no dress code for a night out but don't expect to be refused entry if you haven't at least made the effort. Jeans are ok for most places, but trainers/sneakers aren't usually allowed for popular nights when the bar is already populated. Jogging pants, shorts, tracksuits will never get you accepted into any of the bars no matter what night. 'Casual smart' is the typical unspoken dress code. Be warned, like most towns and cities, certain bars and pubs may make you feel hostile because of the way you are dressed or the way you act. Make sure to check the ''[[#Be safe|Be safe]]'' section when in town at nighttime. With Bar Diva and Flex 2 and an increased police presence, there appears to be a slowly improving acceptance of gays and lesbians in many of the pubs around the town, including The Counting House. * {{drink | name=The Counting House | alt= | url= | email= | address=16 Hardshaw Street, WA10 1RE | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=A popular club for all ages.

The town centre is usually reasonably safe but avoid groups of young people, particularly if you are gay, non-white or if you dress unconventionally. Particular caution should be taken in the deprived Parr and Hardshaw areas to the northeast of the town centre, but St Helens is demographically very mixed and there are housing estates and areas across the borough that it would be wise to avoid unless escorted by a local. Areas which are experiencing rising crime rates in the town and borough include Clock Face, Rainhill, Sutton and Thatto Heath and therefore non-locals should exercise caution in these districts. In the winter, when the sun sets earlier, the centre of town can be less friendly. There is a small gap between shops closing and bars becoming populated where the town is overrun with disrespectful youths or beggars. Nighttime is fairly safe as long as you take care of yourself and those you're out with. Police are often patrolling or monitoring the streets but are enormously overstretched and often very slow to respond to calls for help. Fights are usually alcohol-fuelled and around pub closing time but can be avoided with a little tact or swift feet. Taxi ranks, take-aways, bus stops and Bridge Street are best avoided after the pubs close. It is very difficult to get a taxi home at the end of a night, so it is a good idea to book a minicab in advance or start making your way home ahead of the crowd. ==Go next== While you're in the North West, why not travel locally outside St Helens and see a few places. * [[Liverpool]] - via train, go to ''St Helens Central'' station, and catch the train to ''Liverpool Lime Street''. 12 miles. * [[Formby]] - fantastic beach, sand dunes and pine woods :Catch the train to Liverpool, and take the Formby train from Liverpool Central station. 19 miles from St Helens. * [[Blackpool]] - home to [http://www.blackpoolpleasurebeach.com/ Pleasure Beach] theme park, Blackpool tower, and a fantastic light display for half the year, Blackpool is a great beside-the-sea city. :Catch the train from St Helens Central to Blackpool North. 45 miles. {{routebox | image1=UK-Motorway-M62.svg | imagesize1=50 | directionl1=W | majorl1=[[Liverpool]] | minorl1= | directionr1=E | minorr1=[[Warrington]] | majorr1=[[Manchester]] | image2=UK road A57.svg | imagesize2=40 | directionl2=W | majorl2=[[Liverpool]] | minorl2= | directionr2=SE | minorr2=[[Widnes]] | majorr2=[[Warrington]] | image3=UK road A58.svg | imagesize3=40 | directionl3=SW | majorl3=merges with [[Image:UK-Motorway-M57.svg|40px]] and [[Image:UK road A57.svg|30px]] | minorl3= | directionr3=NE | minorr3=[[Wigan]] | majorr3=[[Bolton]] }} {{geo|53.4541|-2.7461}} {{IsPartOf|Merseyside}} {{usablecity}} lbcsr523krwhk0uyncago7lk0ep0psy 0 34430 4495838 4486355 2022-08-05T20:16:14Z Grahamsands 2164467 /* Sleep */ Burleigh Court wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Stroud_Banner.jpg}} ''For the town in [[Oklahoma]] [[Frontier Country]] see [[Stroud (Oklahoma)]].''

It's a fairly "alternative" place with organic/biodynamic food and a long history of campaigning to save local facilities and landmarks. For many years, local people opposed letting McDonald’s build a restaurant.

The island is also a center of Chinese-language pop culture with a substantial entertainment industry. Japanese and an increasing number of mainland Chinese enjoy taking short trips to Taiwan and enjoy its neighborly hospitality. Taiwan is home to some well-known international companies such as Acer, MSI, Asus, HTC, and Giant Bicycles, whose technologies are some of the most advanced in the world. === History === {{seealso|Imperial China|Chinese Revolutions|Japanese colonial empire|Pacific War}} Taiwan was first populated 30,000 years ago by an Australo-Melanesian group known as the Negrito. The Negrito were eventually assimilated and displaced 5,000 years ago by Proto-Austronesians who arrived from the east coast of mainland China, predominantly from what is now Fujian province. Due to linguistic diversity on Taiwan, these people have been suggested to be the ancestors of [[Austronesian]] speakers across Southeast Asia, the Pacific and even Madagascar. Recorded history began with the partial colonization of Taiwan by the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] and then the Portuguese in the early 17th century. (The old name of Taiwan, ''Formosa'', comes from the Portuguese ''Ilha Formosa'' for "beautiful island".) Han Chinese immigrants arrived in significant numbers with the onset of European trade. The Ming loyalist Koxinga defeated the Dutch garrisons and set up Taiwan as a rump Ming Empire with the hope of reconquering Qing China. His grandson surrendered to the Qing in the late 1600s. Although contact between China and Taiwan dates back thousands of years, it was not until larger numbers of ethnic Han residents arrived during the Qing dynasty that Taiwan was formally integrated into China as part of Hokkien (Fujian) province. It became a separate province in 1887. The years of Han Chinese settlement during the Qing Dynasty were marred by conflict between the Han settlers and the Aboriginal people, between the Minnan and Hakka speakers among the Han settlers, and between the [[Quanzhou]] and [[Zhangzhou]] immigrants among the Minnan speakers. All these resulted in Minnan speakers largely occupying the fertile lowlands along the coast, the Hakkas being forced to occupy the middle elevations in the mountains, and the Aboriginal people being forced to higher elevations in the mountains and the more typhoon-prone east coast. Defeated by the Japanese, the Qing Empire ceded Taiwan to [[Japan]] under the terms of the treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895. Japan ruled the island until the end of World War II in 1945, and exerted profound influences on its development. The island's entertainment and pop culture was and still is heavily influenced by that of Japan. Much of the infrastructure built by the Japanese can still be seen on the island, and has been in fact continuously used up to the present day (e.g. railroad crossing gates, administrative buildings, and the old port at Kaohsiung). During [[Pacific War|World War II]], many Taiwanese, both Aboriginal and Han Chinese, served in the Imperial Japanese Army, many of whom have been enshrined in the controversial [[Tokyo/Chiyoda#Yasukini Shrine|Yasukuni Shrine]] in [[Tokyo]]. Like their counterparts in [[Korea]] and other occupied territories, many Taiwanese women were forced to serve as "comfort women" (i.e. sex slaves) in Japanese military brothels. Upon the resumption of Chinese rule, the ''Kuomintang'' (KMT, 國民黨) under Chiang Kai-shek, also known as the Nationalists, was suspicious of many of the locals in Taiwan, due to the fact that many Taiwanese had served in the Japanese military and civil service during World War II. Moreover, as the Japanese had sought to turn Taiwan into a model colony, despite having been discriminated against, many locals had seen their standards of living improve under Japanese rule, and were disillusioned by the corruption and incompetence that plagued the Kuomintang at that time. Tensions between the new Kuomintang government and the locals culminated in the '''228 incident''' on 28th February 1947, when many locals revolted against Chinese rule, and the Kuomintang responded with a brutal crackdown, resulting in thousands of people being killed, and purging many of the Japanese-educated intellectuals in the process. Taiwan would also be placed under martial law following the incident, which would only be lifted in 1987. Discussion of the incident was banned under the years of martial law, but was brought back to the fore once again following democratization in the 1990s, and the incident remains a key impetus behind the Taiwan independence movement to this day. [[File:Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in 2002.jpg|thumb|350px|National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall]] In the early 20th century, the Nationalists and Communists fought a major bloody civil war in mainland China. Although the two sides were briefly united against Japan during World War II, they quickly began fighting again after the war was over. Eventually, the Communists were victorious in 1949. The Nationalist government, remnants of their army, and hundreds of thousands of supporters then fled to Taiwan, though they would also retain control of several offshore islands of Fujian. From Taipei, they continued to assert their right as the sole legitimate government of all China. Initially very repressive, the government began to loosen control in its fourth decade under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek's son, Chiang Ching-kuo. Taiwan also experienced rapid economic growth and modernisation under the leadership of Chiang Ching-kuo, becoming one of the world's richest and most modern economies and earning it a place as one of the East Asian Tigers. Today, Taiwan is generally regarded as a modern, developed economy, and still remains a leader in consumer electronics that is home to well-known computer brands such as Acer, Asus, Garmin, Gigabyte and HTC. Democratization began in earnest through the 1980s and 1990s, culminating with the first direct presidential elections in 1996, and the first peaceful transition of power between two political parties in 2000. Taiwanese politics remain dominated by the issue of relations between Taiwan and the [[China|People's Republic of China]], which still claims Taiwan as a "renegade province" and regularly threatens military action if Taiwan attempts to break away from the awkward '''One China''' status quo, whereby both sides agree that there is only one Chinese nation, but disagree on whether that one nation should be governed by the PRC or the ROC. To summarize a ''very'' complex situation, the '''Pan-Blue''' (泛藍) group spearheaded by the KMT supports eventual unification with the mainland when the political climate is right, while the '''Pan-Green''' (泛綠) group led by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) supports eventual formal independence under the name "Republic of Taiwan". The split extends down to trivial issues like Chinese romanization &mdash; the KMT prefers the mainland's ''Hanyu pinyin'', the DPP prefers a Taiwan-made variant called ''Tongyong pinyin'' &mdash; and political demonstrations and rallies, always turbulent, on occasion even turn violent. In 2014, the '''Sunflower Movement''' was formed in opposition to deepening trade relations between Taiwan and mainland China that was being pursued by the then-KMT government. Although mainland China has been Taiwan's most important trading partner since 2008, many Taiwanese were fearful that deepening economic ties would lead to the Chinese Communist Party using this economic dependence to coerce democratic Taiwan into unifying with mainland China under communist rule. Things came to a head when student protesters stormed the Legislative Yuan on 18 March 2014, forcing the government to abandon ratification of a recently-signed trade deal with mainland China, marking the first time the Taiwanese legislature had been successfully occupied by civilian protesters. The movement is today considered a watershed moment in Taiwanese political history, as it led to the political awakening of much of the formerly apolitical younger generation, galvanized a distinct Taiwanese identity, and united most of the younger generation behind the pro-independence camp. === Government and politics === Taiwan is a presidential republic modelled after the American system of government. The President is popularly elected every four years for up to two terms, and is the head of state. The President has the sole authority to appoint members the executive branch, known as the '''Executive Yuan''', whose leader, known as the Premier, serves as the head of government. The legislative branch is known as the '''Legislative Yuan''', often referred to as the "Parliament", which is elected by the people every four years in parallel with the presidential elections. Taiwan is a vibrant democracy known for its exceptionally dramatic parliamentary sessions, with physical fights between legislators on the floor being a regular occurrence. The other branches of government are the '''Judicial Yuan''', which tops the judiciary branch, the '''Examination Yuan''', which administers civil service examinations, and the '''Control Yuan''', which is responsible for auditing the government's finances. The two main parties in Taiwanese politics are the '''Kuomintang''' (KMT) and the '''Democratic Progressive Party''' (DPP). Generally speaking, the KMT is more socially conservative, and favors friendlier ties with China, while the DPP is more socially liberal, and favors closer ties with Japan and the United States, as well as taking a tougher stance against China. While the older generation is politically split, the younger generation is overwhelmingly pro-DPP. === People === Taiwan was originally populated by indigenous peoples that spoke various Austronesian languages, which are related to Malay, Tagalog and Indonesian. Today the remaining indigenous peoples make up only about 2% of the population, while the other 98% are considered ethnically Han Chinese. The ethnically Han Chinese are further split into Taiwanese, who make up about 84% of the population and whose ancestors migrated to Taiwan during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and mainlanders, who make up about 14% of the population and whose families fled to Taiwan from the mainland after the communist takeover of China in 1949. Among the Taiwanese group, Hoklo (Minnan) speakers form the majority, which is about 70% of the population, while the remaining 14% are largely Hakka speakers. In modern times, Taiwan is also home to immigrants from elsewhere, especially other Asian countries such as Malaysia (most of whom are ethnically Chinese), Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia. The post-1949 Chinese immigrants come from every province and include many non-Han residents. === Culture === Taiwanese culture is largely based on traditional Chinese culture, particularly that of [[Fujian]] province, because most Taiwanese are Han Chinese whose ancestors migrated to Taiwan from that region. However, in the 20th century, Taiwanese culture diverged from that of mainland China. Substantial Japanese influences can be seen in modern Taiwanese culture because of 50 years of Japanese rule, and this can be seen in its cuisine and in its pop culture. In addition, the Japanese introduced baseball and hot-spring bathing to Taiwan, and these remain popular pastimes for the Taiwanese to this day. As Taiwan was spared from the Cultural Revolution, the Taiwanese have also retained some elements of traditional Chinese culture that have been lost in mainland China. Indigenous Austronesian or "Formosan" culture has greatly suffered under multiple different waves of colonial rule. It is having a resurgence today but many aspects of it have been lost forever which is evident in how the majority of the Formosan languages are extinct or moribund. However, efforts are being made to revive the culture through the introduction of the Aboriginal languages into the school curriculum. Numerous indigenous Taiwanese have had successful careers in the entertainment industry, perhaps the most famous example being the singer Kulilay Amit, better known by her Chinese name Chang Huei-mei, who is of Puyuma ethnicity. === Climate === [[File:Footbridge, Taroko 01.jpg|thumb|240px|Taroko Gorge suspension bridge]] Lowland Taiwan has a marine tropical climate during the summer, with sweltering, humid weather (above 30&nbsp;°C, 86&nbsp;°F) from Jun-Sep. In the winter the weather is influenced by the nearby continent, and in the northern areas the temperature can go as low as 8&nbsp;°C at night. The best time of year to visit is from Oct-Dec, although even then occasional typhoons can spoil the fun. Spring is also nice, although it rains more than during autumn. During the typhoon season, the east coast bears the brunt of the damage as it is facing the Pacific Ocean. In the mountainous regions you will encounter more temperate conditions. Rapid weather change can endanger unprepared visitors, so advice on proper preparation should be obtained before visiting those areas. In fact, it snows every year on Taiwan's highest mountains and occasionally even on mountains like Alishan. === Taiwanese calendar === The ''Minguo'' (民國, ROC) calendar, counting years from the establishment of the ROC (1911), is commonly used in Taiwan. To convert a ''Minguo'' date to A.D., just add 1911. {{CURRENTYEAR}} is Minguo {{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}−1911}}. Months and days are according to the standard Gregorian calendar for almost everything except traditional holidays and religious matters, which use the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. === Festivals === {{CNYdates}} As Taiwan is majority Han Chinese, traditional Chinese festivals are celebrated in Taiwan. Among the most notable are: *'''Chinese New Year''' (春節). This is the most important festival for the Taiwanese and many shops and restaurants close on the first three days so it is not an ideal time to visit. However, the days leading up to the festival and the fourth to fifteenth days are ideal for soaking up the atmosphere and listening to Chinese New Year songs. *'''Tomb Sweeping Day''' (Ching Ming Festival, 清明節). This is when many Taiwanese pay respects at their ancestors' graves. *'''Dragon Boat Festival''' (端午節). This festival honors Qu Yuan, a patriotic official from the state of Chu during the Warring States period of Chinese history who committed suicide by jumping into a river when Chu was conquered by Qin. To prevent the fishes from eating his body, villagers threw rice dumplings into the river to feed the fishes and rowed dragon boats with drums being beaten on them to scare away the fishes. Since then, dragon boat racing has been carried out on this day and rice dumplings are also eaten. *'''Hungry Ghost Festival''' (Ghost Month, 中元節). This festival runs throughout the seventh month of the Chinese calendar. It is believed that the gates of hell open during this period and hungry ghosts are allowed to roam freely into our world. In order to appease the ghosts and prevent misfortune, many Taiwanese offer food and burn joss paper for them. In addition, traditional Chinese performances such as Chinese opera and puppet shows are held to appease these wandering spirits. *'''Mid-Autumn Festival''' (Moon Festival, 中秋節). Legend has it that on this day, a woman known as Chang E swallowed some divine pills to prevent her power hungry husband from becoming immortal. Afraid of being killed by her husband, she fled to the moon and it is believed that the moon shines brightest on this day. This is when many lanterns are put up for decoration in various parks and shops, which is quite a beautiful sight. Mooncakes are also eaten on this day so it would be an ideal time to try some. Many Taiwanese have barbecue with family or friends as part of the celebration. === Terrain === [[File:Jiuwanshibaguai.JPG|thumb|Cliffs meet the eastern coast of Taiwan, Hualien County]] Taiwan is largely mountainous with a chain of mountains running from north to south at the centre of the island. The west coast is largely plains and unsurprisingly is where most of the population is concentrated, and is where all the larger cities like [[Taichung]] and [[Kaohsiung]] are located. The east coast also has some plains but they are more sparsely populated due to the higher typhoon risk, but is also home to the cities of [[Hualien]] and [[Taitung]] with significant populations. === Sports === Baseball was brought to Taiwan by the Japanese during the colonial period. Its popularity rose greatly when the Taiwanese baseball team finished second in the Japanese national championships. Today, baseball retains a strong following and remains by far the most popular spectator sport in Taiwan. Several Taiwanese players have also gone on to successful careers in the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) and Japanese Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), and the Taiwanese national team is considered to be one of the strongest in the world. Besides baseball, basketball also has a sizeable following in Taiwan and is quite popular among teenagers. When classes are over, the basketball courts inside schools are not only open to students but also the public. Billiards<!--WHICH VARIANT(S)--> is another popular sport in Taiwan. It's easy to find billiard rooms throughout the country and there are also many championship-winning players in Taiwan, most of whom started training when they were still teens. Other sports which are popular include Taekwondo, table tennis and golf. In international sporting competitions, such as the Olympic Games, Taiwan is called "Chinese Taipei" for political reasons. == Talk == {{infobox|You say Zhongshan, I say Chungshan...|The romanization of Chinese used in Taiwan is not standardized. Most older place names and personal names are derived from a simplified version of Wade-Giles. The government established Hanyu Pinyin (the same system used in the mainland and the international standard) as the official system in 2009, but most local governments that did not already use the system have not switched over, and highway signs are only being gradually changed from the Tongyong Pinyin system, leading to much inconsistency. Some local governments, such as that of Taipei and Taichung, have already converted their street signs to Hanyu Pinyin and New Taipei is implementing the switch to Hanyu Pinyin. However, there are still street signs posted by city governments next to signs installed by the national government having different romanization conventions, as is the case for Kaohsiung, where Tongyong Pinyin, not Hanyu Pinyin, is the local standard. For example, Zhongshan, Chungshan, Jungshan and Jhongshan can easily refer to the same Chinese name. This article attempts to use the romanizations most commonly used ''in'' Taiwan (on street signs, buses, tourist maps, etc.) People know romanisation as 'Roma-Pinyin' (Luoma-Pinyin).}} Taiwan's official languages are four varieties of Chinese — '''[[Chinese phrasebook - Traditional|Mandarin]]''', '''[[Minnan phrasebook|Taiwanese]]''' (a dialect of Minnan), '''[[Hakka phrasebook|Hakka]]''', and '''[[Fuzhou dialect phrasebook|Matsu dialect]]''' — as well as the '''Aboriginal Austronesian languages''' and '''Taiwan Sign Language'''. Mandarin is the ''lingua franca'', but Taiwanese is the mother tongue of about 70% of the population. In the North where there is a large concentration of so-called "mainlanders" (those whose families came to Taiwan from mainland China in the 1940s as refugees of the Chinese Civil War), most people speak Mandarin as their primary language (although Taiwanese is spoken in abundance), but in the South of the island, Taiwanese is far more common. Hakka is the main language at the middle elevations of the mountainous parts of Taoyuan, Hsinchu and Miaoli. Mandarin, Taiwanese and Hakka are all tonal languages, and are difficult for most foreigners to master. Aboriginal languages can mostly be heard on the East Coast and its offshore islands, as well as at higher elevations in the mountains. The Matsu dialect is a variant of the Fuzhou dialect (also known as ''Hokchiu'' or ''Foochow''), and is almost exclusively concentrated in the [[Matsu]] islands located close to [[Fuzhou]] in mainland China. Chinese is written using '''Chinese characters''' (漢字, ''hànzì'', lit. "Han characters"). Unlike an alphabet that represents individual sounds without any inherent meaning, each Chinese character represents a meaningful syllable: a specific word or part of a word. Although they look impenetrable at first, there is some method to the madness: most characters are composed from base components combined with other characters (often giving clues to both pronunciation and general meaning). The same characters are used in Japan and Korea with usually similar meanings, albeit different pronunciations. Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and many overseas Chinese still use the '''traditional characters''', whereas since the 1950s mainland China has used simplified characters, such as <span lang="zh-Hans">龟</span> instead of <span lang="zh-Hant">龜</span>. Cursive forms of Chinese characters, often used for effect in logos, range from "looks familiar if you squint" to "impenetrable scribbles". There are multiple ways of romanizing Mandarin Chinese, but '''pinyin''' (漢語拼音 ''hànyǔ pīnyīn'') is the most useful for a visitor to learn. It's a fairly logical system, although it has a few idiosyncrasies, including using some letters in ways that are different from English (such as ''q'' which is similar to English "ch" and ''x'' which is like English "sh"). (However, people in Taiwan are more familiar with a phonetic alphabet called Zhuyin (注音 ''zhùyīn'', written using Zhuyin as ㄓㄨˋ　ㄧㄣ), commonly known in English as '''bopomofo''' (named after the first four letters, ㄅㄆㄇㄈ), which is used for language education and typing.) All dialects of Chinese are also '''tonal''', meaning each syllable has to be pronounced with the correct tone &mdash; high, rising, falling-rising, falling, or neutral &mdash; to be understood; Mandarin tones are marked in pinyin using diacritics that graphically mimic the tones patterns (as in ''mā'', ''má'', ''mǎ'', ''mà'', and ''ma''). With just a few hours of practice, you can learn to pronounce Mandarin words accurately using pinyin. However, as Chinese has many homophones, pinyin is useful for pronunciation but not practical for communicating meaning; for something like a street address, you need to use Chinese characters. Although Chinese is ''written'' nearly the same across the world, '''spoken Chinese''' has a huge array of '''dialects'''. Verbally, Chinese dialects are as different from each other as English and Dutch, or French and Italian &mdash; related, but not mutually intelligible. Two people who speak different Chinese dialects would read and write the same, but they would pronounce the written text differently, and couldn't carry on a spoken conversation with each other. Although standard Mandarin in Taiwan is nearly identical to standard Mandarin in mainland China (with differences mostly in technical and translated terms invented post-1949), most people in practice speak a distinctly accented version known as Taiwanese Mandarin. For example, Taiwanese Mandarin tends to not differentiate between the "S" and "Sh" or the "f" and "h" sounds in Mandarin. All people schooled after 1945 are generally fluent in Mandarin, though older people from rural areas often have a very thick accent. Mandarin is fairly popular with young people. Some elderly people do not speak Mandarin as they were schooled in Japanese or not at all. Most Taiwanese are very accepting of foreigners and react with curiosity and admiration for trying the local tongue. Generally, most people in Taiwan converse using a combination of Mandarin and Taiwanese by code-switching. The Taiwanese dialect is a variant of Minnan which is similar to the dialect spoken across the Taiwan Strait in [[South Fujian]]. Unlike in South Fujian, Taiwanese Minnan has some loan words from Japanese as a result of 50 years of Japanese colonization. Taiwanese Minnan and [[Xiamen]] Minnan are both mixtures of the [[Zhangzhou]] and [[Quanzhou]] accents, so as a result, Taiwanese Minnan sounds very similar to Xiamen Minnan. There is also dialectal variation in Taiwanese between different parts of the island; the [[Tainan]] dialect is generally considered to be the prestige dialect. All public announcements in the transportation system are made in Mandarin, Taiwanese and Hakka, with the exception of the [[Matsu]] islands, where announcements are made in Mandarin and the local Matsu dialect. Especially in Taipei, younger people generally speak a basic conversational level of '''English'''. The children often understand more English than their parents, especially with the emphasis on English language education today, and English being a compulsory subject in Taiwanese schools. However, attempts to speak Mandarin or Taiwanese will be met with beaming smiles and encouragement, by and large. Quite a few people, especially in Taipei, are proficient in '''[[Japanese phrasebook|Japanese]]''' due to the high number of Japanese visitors. Staff for tourist attractions such as the Taipei 101, museums, hotels, popular restaurants and airport shops speak Japanese in addition to English, Mandarin and other local languages. In fact, if you are a visitor of East Asian descent who cannot understand Chinese, when a worker realizes this he or she may try speaking to you in Japanese before trying English. There has been an increasing usage of '''[[Korean phrasebook|Korean]]''' by tourism boards due to the large number of Korean people visiting Taiwan. Thus, there are many signs across Taiwan written in Korean. An enthusiasm for Korean-language education due to the influence of Korean pop culture is also gaining momentum. Due to the increasing number of Southeast Asian tourists visiting Taiwan, '''[[Thai phrasebook|Thai]]''', '''[[Vietnamese phrasebook|Vietnamese]]''' and '''[[Indonesian phrasebook|Indonesian]]''' are spoken by some tourist personnel. '''Taiwan Sign Language''' is the language of the deaf community. It has partial mutual intelligibility with Japanese Sign Language and Korean Sign Language, but not with Chinese Sign Language or Hong Kong Sign Language. == Get in == {{COVID-19 box|Taiwan has tightened entry restrictions in response to the spread of COVID-19, in particular the Delta variant of the virus.

Now there also is one weekly ferry from Dongdu Harbor (東渡碼頭) in [[Xiamen]] to Keelung, that leaves on Thursdays at 18:00 starting at less than RMB500, and one to Taichung leaving on Tuesdays. Call 0592-2393128 for information or 0592-6011758 for bookings from China. You can also check [http://www.seat61.com/Taiwan.htm#Ferries_to_Taiwan here] for news. There is apparently no ferry from Kinmen to the main island of Taiwan at this time, though flights may be reasonably priced. ====China to Taiwan direct==== The ''Cosco Star'' runs overnight between [[Keelung]] in northern Taiwan and [[Xiamen]] on the mainland, between Keelung and Daimaiyu Port near [[Taizhou]] on the mainland, and between [[Taichung]] in west-central Taiwan and Xiamen. Each leg of each route only runs on one day of the week (see [http://www.coscotw.com.tw/cht/asp/star-sch.asp here] for departure times of each route and [http://www.cosco.url.tw/hot.html here] for the latest calendar of operations). "Standard" one-way fares start at NT$3,500, but "basic" fares may be available for NT$2,490 ([http://www.coscotw.com.tw/cht/asp/star-tick.asp fare table]). On top of the fare there is an additional NT$300-550 in fuel and port surcharges, which varies depending on the route. There are substantial discounts for seniors (65+) and children (12 and under). The service's Taiwan-facing website is [http://www.coscotw.com.tw/cht/asp/star-main.asp here]. [http://www.taiwancsf.com/default.aspx CSF] operates fast ferries (about 3 hours) from [[Pingtan]] in mainland China to [[Taipei]] and [[Taichung]] in Taiwan. As of February 2019, the Taipei-Pingtan-Taipei route runs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and the Pingtan-Taichung-Pingtan route runs on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays ([http://www.taiwancsf.com/Content.aspx?sn=7 full schedule]). Adult fares for non-Taiwan citizens start at NT$3,500 one-way, $6,350 round-trip if purchased in advance ([http://www.taiwancsf.com/Content.aspx?sn=7 fare table]), a couple hundred more if purchased at the pier ([http://www.taiwancsf.com/content.aspx?sn=149 fare table]). Fares are cheaper for Taiwan/ROC citizens ([http://www.taiwancsf.com/content.aspx?sn=158 advance]/[http://www.taiwancsf.com/content.aspx?sn=159 pier]. == Get around == ===''IC Cards''=== [[Taipei]]'s '''[http://www.easycard.com.tw/ EasyCard]''' (悠遊卡 Yōuyóukǎ) and [[Kaohsiung]]'s '''[https://www.i-pass.com.tw/EN/ iPass]''' (一卡通) are the main public transportation smart and electronic payment cards, and replace the need to buy separate tickets for most national, regional and city buses, metro (MRT), as well as train services (TRA) all over Taiwan, and they can be used at retail establishments that display the respective sign, like convenient stores (7eleven, Family Mart), parking lots and some restaurants and shops. Though originally accepted only in their respective cities, the two cards can now be used interchangeably at most (but not all) locations. Besides saving you the hassle of having proper change ready for your ticket, it mostly always gives discount on the chosen journeys. For instance, the price for any train (TRA) is calculated based on the price of a local train and a 10% discount. Thus, you can even take the faster trains with it (but not THSR) like the Tzu-Chiang limited express. The only disadvantage is that you will not have a reserved seat, which however is not an issue except on Saturday morning/noon and Sunday afternoon. The EasyCard also provides discounts on [[Taipei#Get around|Taipei's public transportation network]], and likewise with the iPass on Kaohsiung's network. The EasyCard can be bought at the airport, in any of stations of Taipei MRT and most convenient stores. As of Dec 2019 the price was NT$500, consisting of a non-refundable deposit of NT$100 and NT$400 in electronic cash. If you want to add money onto the card, you can do so in MRT stations (including Kaohsiung MRT), TRA stations, and the common convenient stores. The card can hold amounts up to NT$5,000. Student IC cards with even deeper discounts are also available for purchase, but only upon request at a desk and a recognised student ID like ISIC. Whether the card needs to be tapped only once or twice on city buses (on entry or on exit, see [[#By bus|below]]) depends on which city you are in and sometimes how far you travel. Do not forget to tap twice (on entry '''and''' exit) where it is necessary, especially on regional and national buses outside of cities (and some unstaffed railway stations). Otherwise, your card will be blocked with "incomplete journey" (for all bus companies), and you will have to settle this issue with the responsible bus company. This can be a problem, because bus companies only serve certain regions. When leaving that region, e.g. by train, which is still possible with a (bus) locked card, no-one will be willing to unlock your card, even though also other bus companies are able to do so. Be insistent and with the help of the tourist information centre tell them that you cannot go back to fix the problem, or that you tried and they did not solve the issue even though they told you so. Make sure that it is really unlocked (with a different bus company) and do not just trust them &ndash; it seems some cannot operate their machines properly. If you forget to tap the second time, you will only be charged a small initial fee instead of the whole journey, but unless you are at the end of your vacation to Taiwan or possess a second card, you should avoid having your card blocked. That said, most bus drivers and railway staff pay close attention to the tapping, so it is hard to miss. It costs NT$14 to get in and out of the same railway station within an hour, in case you instead decide to take the bus. At the end of your travel, do not put too much money onto your card, because it can only be given back and cashed-out at certain locations, like some THSR stations. In addition to the NT$100 purchase fee, there is a NT$20 fee for returning the card within 3 months. === By train === [[File:THSR 700T train at Taoyuan Station 20070728.jpg|thumb|Taiwan High Speed train]] [[File:TaiwanHighSpeedRail Route en.gif|thumb|Map of Taiwan High Speed Rail; all stations shown are operational]] Taiwan's train system is excellent, with stops in all major cities. Train stations are often in the centers of most cities and towns and serve as a convenient hub for most types of transportation. In addition, the train system allows you to bypass the highways, which can become extremely crowded on weekends and national holidays. The main downside is the lack of cross-island routes between the East Coast and West Coast; for instance, there is no rail line from Taichung to Hualien, so you will have to either drive, fly, or take a major detour via Taipei or Kaohsiung. ====THSR==== The new train backbone is [http://www.thsrc.com.tw/en/?lc=en '''Taiwan High Speed Rail'''] (HSR, 高鐵 ''gāotiě'') , a [[high speed train]] based on Japanese ''Shinkansen'' technology that covers the {{km|345}} route on the West Coast from [[Taipei]] to Zuoying ([[Kaohsiung]]) in 90 min. Other stops on the route are [[Banqiao]], [[Taoyuan]], [[Hsinchu]], [[Taichung]], [[Chiayi]] and [[Tainan]], but many THSR stations have been built a fair distance from the cities they serve (e.g. a taxi from downtown Tainan costs up to NT$400, but there's a free shuttle bus). Taipei, Banciao, Taoyuan, Taichung and Kaohsiung (Zuoying) stations are connected with metro. Taichung station is built next to a railway station, convenient to transfer to the city center. Hsinchu and Tainan stations are connected to the city center with branch railway lines. Other stations can only be reached by bus. A one way ticket from Taipei to Kaohsiung costs NT$1,630 in economy or NT$2,140 in business class, but economy seats have plush seats and ample legroom, so there's little reason to pay extra, though business class passengers are offered a complementary drink and snack. All signage and announcements are in English as well, making navigation a snap. Bookings are accepted online and via phone up to two weeks in advance at +886-2-6626-8000 (English spoken), with payment required only when you pick up the tickets. Credit cards are accepted. Bookings can be easily made by internet, and you can pay online or pay and pick up your tickets at almost every FamilyMart and 7-Eleven. You can also avoid the queues for long distance tickets at major stations by buying your tickets from the automated ticket machines. The English prompts on the automated machines are hard to spot but they are present,usually in the top left corner of the screen. The stations and platforms are wheelchair-friendly and all trains include a wheelchair-accessible car (wider doors, ample space, accessible bathroom). The Official English guide for online reservations distinguishes between "senior or disabled tickets" and "handicap-friendly seats"; while it's possible to buy a ticket for the former online ("correct passenger ID" required), a ticket for the latter has to be reserved by calling the ticketing office on the phone. Early Bird tickets are sold from 28 days before the day, and the discount to is up to 35% off. All high-speed trains consist of two seating classes; '''economy class''' and '''business class'''. Although economy class is already clean and comfortable by international standards, paying extra for business class snags you a slightly wider seat, as well as a complimentary drink and snack. All train announcements are made in Mandarin, Taiwanese, Hakka and English. =====Passes===== The Taiwan High Speed Rail issues a '''[https://pass.thsrc.com.tw/oatsb2c/home.do?G=3 THSR Pass]''' for use on the high speed rail trains. These cost NT$2,400 for a regular 3-day pass, or NT$3,200 for a flexible 3-day pass. While a regular 3-day pass must be used in 3 consecutive days, the 3 days in a flexible 3-day pass may be spread out over any 7-day period. The 5-day joint passes allow for unlimited rides on the high speed rail for 2 days within a 5 day period, and unlimited rides on TRA lines within the same 5-day period. These cost NT$2,800 for a standard pass, which does not allow you to ride on Tzu-Chiang trains, and NT$3,600 for an express pass, which allows you to ride on all TRA lines. The THSR passes may only be used by foreigners who are in Taiwan on tourist visas (or visa exemptions), and must be purchased from travel agents overseas ''before'' you arrive in Taiwan. ====TRA==== Mainline trains are run by the separate [http://www.railway.gov.tw/en/index/index.aspx '''Taiwan Railway Administration'''] (TRA, 台鐵) , whose services are generally efficient and reliable. Reserving tickets well in advance is recommended when traveling with the train on weekends, especially for long distance travel. Slower (but more frequent) commuter trains without reserved seating are also available. Train timetables and [http://railway.hinet.net/net_eng.htm online booking] (up to 2 weeks in advance) are available on the TRA website for 24 hours. Booking and payment can be made online. You can also pay for the tickets you reserved at your local train station or post office to actually receive it. You can also buy the tickets of TRA in convenient stores now (you can reserve first and take the tickets in convenient stores). The way to buy tickets is same to high speed rail's. Children under 115&nbsp;cm (45&nbsp;in) height go free, and taller kids shorter than 150&nbsp;cm (59&nbsp;in) and under 12 years of age get half-price tickets. If you get return tickets there is a small discount depending upon travel distance. There are also vending machines at the larger stations. The fastest train is Tzu-Chiang (limited express), and the slowest is Pingkuai (Ordinary/Express). There is often little to choose between prices and destination times for adjacent train classes, but the gap can be quite large between the fastest and the slowest. * '''Tze-Chiang''' (自強 ''zìqiáng''): The fastest (and most expensive). Assigned seating. Non-reserved (standing) tickets are supposedly sold at full price, but the boarding is possible with an Easycard for local train prices. There are '''Taroko Express''' (太魯閣號 ''Tàilǔgé Hào'') and '''Puyuma''' (普悠瑪號 ''Pǔyōumǎ Hào'') runnning from Taipei to Hualien, which only sell reserved tickets. * '''Chu-Kuang''' (莒光 ''júguāng''): Second fastest. Assigned seating. In western Taiwan, it is as slow as a local train; in eastern Taiwan, it is still a fast, convenient train. * '''local train''' (區間 ''qūjiān'') : Short to medium distance commuter train, stops at all stations. No assigned seating. There are a few local-fast train, which don't stop at every station. * '''Express / Ordinary''' (普通 ''pǔtōng''): Stops at all stations, no air conditioning, most inexpensive. No assigned seating. Some Express trains (the light blue ones running on West Trunk Line) are air-conditioned while others (dark blue ones) are not equipped with air conditioners. Only on Saturday morning/noon and Sunday afternoon faster trains are packed, and it might make sense to buy a more expensive reserve-seat ticket, if you do not want to stand for 3 hr, depending on your destination. Otherwise, you can freely use the EasyCard for fast connections without worrying (except for THSR). For travel to nearby cities, you can travel on local commuter trains. These arrive very frequently (about once every ten to fifteen minutes). In addition, "standing tickets" may be purchased on trains with assigned seating that have no available seats. Standing tickets are 80% the original ticket price and may be useful for last-minute travellers. However, you will be required to stand for the duration of your trip if there are no free seats. Station announcements are made in Mandarin, Taiwanese, Hakka, and English. A popular holdover from the Japanese colonial era is the '''railway bento''' tradition, known in Taiwan as the '''TR Bento''' (臺鐵便當 ''tái tiě biàn dàng''). These are sold at most major TRA stations, and on board most long distance TRA trains. Both meat and vegetarian options are available, with the pork chop bento being particularly famous and iconic. =====Passes===== Similar to Japan and South Korea, Taiwan also offers several rail passes to foreign tourists for unlimited train travel within a stipulated period. The '''[https://tip.railway.gov.tw/tra-tip-web/tip/tip003/tip311/view10 TR Pass]''' can be used by foreigners for unlimited travel on TRA lines for a stipulated period of time. The TR Pass can be bought at railway stations in Taiwan. The TR pass also allows you to reserve seats for free on trains that have assigned seating. '''The TR pass is not valid on the Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR)''' as those trains are not run by the TRA. {| class="wikitable" |+Ticket types/prices (NT$) |- |colspan="3" style="text-align: center" | '''3 Days''' |colspan="3" style="text-align: center" | '''5 Days''' |- | full price || reduced price || 4-person-group || full price || reduced price || 4-person-group |- | 1800 || 900 || 4200 || 2500 || 1250 || 7000 |} : :Note: The 4-person-group ticket must be used by four people simultaneously. You '''cannot''' take the high-speed rail, since it is not operated by the TRA. Validity has to be for consecutive days. Reduced price applies to children (age 7-12), senior citizens (age 65+) and disabled people. * TR Pass Student: The student version of the TR Pass is significantly cheaper than the general version, though unlike the general version, it is ''not'' valid for use on Tzu-Chiang limited express trains, and also cannot be used to ride in train cars with reserved seating. In order to qualify for this pass, you will need to show your passport and a valid International Student Identity Card (ISIC) Ticket types and prices: * 5-day ticket: NT$599 * 7-day ticket: NT$799 * 10-day ticket: NT$1,098 ===By bus=== Taiwan has an extensive bus network, run mostly by private bus companies. Travelling by bus is generally cheaper than by train, especially for long-distance trips. However, on holidays, travel time may be much longer and tickets are more likely to be sold out. There are two categories: intercity buses (客運) and local buses (公車). Taiwan Tourist Shuttle is a set of distinctly branded bus routes (some intercity, some local) that serve tourist sites, and are generally easier to use than regular routes. The official website offers route maps, timetables and recommended itineraries, but is somewhat confusing to navigate. There is, however, a toll-free number for inquiries. There are also information desks at major transport hubs. [[File:Taipei Bus 1073 stop board.jpg|thumb|Bus stop in Taipei]] Many cities have local buses. They are managed by local governments, therefore information can generally be found on the websites of the respective transportation bureaus. Drivers are usually happy to help, but may not speak English. Route maps at bus stops are mostly in Chinese. For visitors, it may be helpful to have your hotel or accommodation host suggest some routes for you and circle your destination on a map, then show it to the bus driver to make sure you're on the right bus. Announcements are in English, but hopefully the driver will remember to tell you when to get off in case you miss it. Most buses accept either cash (no change) or IC cards (like the EasyCard). Minor cities and towns do not have local buses, but have intercity routes that make frequent stops. These can be found using the method in the previous paragraph. Occasionally a bus driver might stop a bus away from the curb at a bus stop. Sometimes it is due to a vehicle illegally parked at a bus stop. (Taiwanese traffic law and regulation prohibit vehicles from stopping or parking within 10&nbsp;m (33&nbsp;ft) of a bus stop.) However, a bus driver might stop a bus away from the curb just because he or she does not want to wait for overtaking traffic while leaving a bus stop. Therefore, be ''much more careful'' when getting on or off a bus stopped away from a curb, as many motorcycles, motor scooters, and bicycles will definitely be tempted to overtake on the right side of the stopped bus where people get on and off! (As traffic drives on the right side of the road in Taiwan, buses have doors on the right side.) In Taiwan you need to hail the bus you are taking as you see it coming—much like hailing a taxi. The terminal stop of the route is listed on the front of the bus in Chinese and sometimes English, so it is important to make sure the bus you get on is going the right direction. For city buses, sometimes you pay when boarding, sometimes when alighting, sometimes both (whether with cash or an IC card). As you get on the bus there will be an LED sign indicating that, opposite the entrance. Sometimes it's only in Chinese: 上 means on boarding, 下 means on alighting (or just watch other people). In some cities such as Kaohsiung and Taichung, failing to swipe your card correctly will result in a locked card. ====Navigation==== Google Maps is a quick way to find a route to your destination, but is not always reliable, especially for trips with changes and for longer distance (like in the south and southwest). Often it will highly overstate bus travel times, because it will consider each stop while the bus might only stop at every third or fourth. Hence, a trip from Kaohsiung or Pingtung to Kenting will be stated with 3-4 hr, even though it will just take 1 hr. Therefore, it will also often suggesting the wrong connections and transfers. However, it gives a very good indication on the possible route, vehicle number(s), frequency, availability and price of buses and trains. Besides, the ''Bus+'' app (Android/iOS) is quite reliable with schedules. You can find bus numbers on it, and it will list its (live) route. This is much easier than reading the Chinese bus stop signs. In combination with Google Maps route search it is quite handy. Furthermore, http://taiwanbus.tw/ has a likewise good overview, in case the Bus+ app is not that helpful. === By metro === [[File:VAL256 on Taipei MRT Muzha Line 20050320.jpg|thumb|Taipei MRT]] The following areas are served by metro, also known as MRT: * [[Taipei]] and [[New Taipei]] by Taipei Metro * Linkou Plateau, western Taipei and northeastern [[Taoyuan]] City by Taoyuan Metro *[[Taichung]] by Taichung MRT * [[Kaohsiung]] by Kaohsiung MRT It is prohibited to eat, drink or smoke in all metro systems past the fare gates. If multiple journeys are to be made, one can purchase a rechargeable IC card. There are 4 cards: EasyCard (悠遊卡), iPASS (一卡通), icash and HappyCash. For basic MRT transport purposes there is little difference between them. All metro systems are reliable, safe, clean and accessible. Disruptions are rare. The Taipei Metro in particular is widely lauded as one of the world's most reliable and efficient, and is often held up as a gold standard for other Metro systems around the world to emulate. Nearly all stations have toilets, elevators and info desks. There are also special waiting areas that is monitored by security camera for those who are concerned about security late at night. === By taxi === {{infobox|Betel nut beauties (檳榔西施) |The highways of Taiwan are lined with brightly lit booths staffed by attractive, skimpily dressed young women, but they're not plying the world's oldest trade; instead, they're betel nut beauties, who compete for the attention of customers to sell the mildly addictive stimulant '''betel''' (檳榔 ''bīnláng''), consisting of areca nuts and slaked lime wrapped in a betel leaf, not themselves. Betel itself is worth a try and there is a chance you will be offered it in the company of farmers or working-class Taiwanese. Be warned, it stains your teeth blood red. To consume it, bite and spit off the cap at the top of the nut, then chew the rest of the bundle. Only the first mouthful of saliva must be spit and afterwards one can either choose to spit or swallow and enjoy the buzz. One sampling on your trip shouldn't be a problem, but do keep in mind that this little treat is habit-forming and cancer-causing for long-term users. Due to the known health risks, consumption of betel nuts is declining, and betel but beauties are becoming increasingly few and far between.}} Taxis are very common in major Taiwanese cities. You do not need to look for a taxi, they'll be looking for you. The standard yellow taxis scour roads looking for potential riders such as lost foreigners. It is possible but generally unnecessary to phone for a taxi. To hail one, simply place your hand in front of you parallel to the ground. But they'll often stop for you even if you're just waiting to cross the street or for a bus. In less heavily trafficked areas further out from the transit hubs, taxis are always available by calling taxi dispatch centers or using mobile apps. Drivers generally cannot converse in English or read Westernized addresses (except for special Taoyuan airport taxis). Get the hotel staff or a Taiwanese friend write out your destination in Chinese, and also take a business card from the hotel. Show the driver the Chinese writing of where you are going. Taxis are visibly metered (starting point priced at NT$70), and taxi drivers are strictly forbidden from taking tips. A maximum of four people can ride in one cab, and for the price of one. Compared to European or American taxis, those in Taiwan are inexpensive. Although taxi drivers in Taiwan tend to be more honest than in many other countries, not all are trustworthy. An indirect trip might cost you half again as much. A cab driver using night-time rates during the daytime will cost you 30% more (make sure he presses the large button on the left on his meter before 23:00). Avoid the especially overzealous drivers who congregate at the exits of train stations. Also, stand your ground and insist on paying meter price only if any driving on mountain roads is involved. Some drivers like to tack on surcharges or use night-time rates if driving to places like [[Wenshan]] (文山) or [[Wulai]] (烏來). Such attempts to cheat are against the law. From Taoyuan Airport (TPE), buses are a much more economical option but if you want a direct route Taoyuan airport drivers are the best choice. They're quite comfortable and get you to your destination as quick as possible. All the TPE taxi drivers are interlinked by radio so they could be forewarned if there are police. Sometimes, if there are traffic jams and no police around, the driver will drive in the emergency lane. Taxis from TPE to destinations in Tao Yuan, parts of Taipei county and some other destinations are 'allowed' to add an additional 50% to the meter fare. The badge and taxi driver identification are displayed inside and the license number marked on the outside. You must also be wary that the driver turns on his meter, otherwise he might rip you off. In such a case, you aren't obliged to pay; but make sure you can find a police officer to settle the matter. If there are stories of passengers boarding fake taxis and being attacked by the driver, it is best not to be paranoid about it. Drivers may be more worried about passengers attacking them! If you do call a taxi dispatch center, you will be given a taxi number to identify the vehicle when it arrives. Generally, dispatch is extremely rapid and efficient, as the taxis are constantly monitoring dispatch calls from the headquarters using radio while they are on the move. This is also the safest way to take a taxi, especially for women. Taxis are also a flexible although relatively expensive way to travel to nearby cities. They have the advantage over the electric trains in that they run very late at night. Drivers are required to provide a receipt if asked, though you might find them unwilling to do so. Taxi drivers, as elsewhere in Asia, are not keen on exchanging large notes. Try to keep some smaller denomination notes on hand to avoid the hassle of fighting with the driver for change. Taxi drivers are known for their strong political opinions. Many are supporters of the pan-green coalition and Taiwanese independence, spending all day listening to Taiwanese political talk radio. Drivers also have negative connotations as being former prisoners. Be careful about your opinions on sensitive political subjects (including, but not necessarily limited to cross-strait relations); also be careful of describing your destination which may be perceived politically (such as the President's Office or Chiang-Kai-Shek Memorial Hall). Also watch out for drivers who discriminate against other cultures such as taping "No Korean passengers" on their cars. This is sometimes unavoidable as some drivers provoke such discussion. In addition, if you see what looks like blood spewing from the driver's mouth, or him spitting blood onto the street—not to fret–it's merely him chewing betel nut (see box). Keep in mind, however, that betel nuts are a stimulant. Taxi drivers are generally friendly towards foreigners, and a few of them take the opportunity to try their limited English skills. They are most likely to ask you about yourself, and are a patient audience to your attempts at speaking Mandarin. If you are traveling with small children, don't be surprised if they are given candy when you disembark. Women are sometimes warned not to take taxis alone at night. This is not an extreme risk, although there have been incidents where women have been attacked. To be more safe, women can have the hotel or restaurant phone a cab for them (ensuring a licensed driver), have a companion write down the license number of the driver (clearly displayed on the dashboard), or keep a cell phone handy. Do not get in if the driver doesn't have a license with picture clearly displayed in the cab. === By scooter or motorcycle === Scooters with an engine size of 50cc require a license to drive, and should be insured and registered in the owner's name. Foreign nationals with stay less than 30 days do not have an easy way to get a scooter license. Until 2003 it wasn't possible to get a scooter above 150cc. Many of the scooters within cities are only 50cc and incapable of going faster than 80&nbsp;km/h (50&nbsp;mph). The more powerful versions known as ''zhongxing'' (重型, heavy format) scooters are now quite common and can be rented for short-term use, or found for sale used at [http://www.englishintaiwan.com English In Taiwan] if you're going to need it for a while. They are '''not''' allowed on freeways even if they are capable of going faster than 100&nbsp;km/h (62&nbsp;mph) unless used for certain police purposes, but that just means you have to take the scenic route. If you're just learning to drive a scooter on the streets of Taiwan, it would be a good idea to practice a bit on a back road or alley until you have a feel for the scooter. Attempting to do so in the busier cities could easily be fatal. Certainly, things can get pretty hairy on Taiwanese roads and Taipei in particular has narrower more congested roads than many other cities. However if you know what you're doing, it's the perfect way to get around in a city. It should be possible to rent a scooter by the day, week or month, depending on the city in which you're staying. One Taipei motorcycle and scooter rental service with English language service is [http://www.bikefarm.net Bikefarm], which is run by a very friendly and helpful English guy called Jeremy. In Taichung, Foreigner Assistance Services In Taiwan '''[http://www.englishintaiwan.com/foreignerservices/fast.php F.A.S.T]''' offers a rental service for foreign visitors. Otherwise, scooters are generally easy to rent in most major cities, with many such places being near railway or bus stations. Most usually require some form of identification even if, in some cases, it consists of your expired Blockbuster video card! The average price you may expect is NT$400 for 24 hours, this includes one or two helmets. Another option is to rent a motorcycle. Many foreigners swear by their 125cc Wild Wolf (野狼) motorcycles, and a trip around the island on a motorcycle can be a great way to see the island up close. It is to be mentioned that since 2007, scooters and motorcycle over 550cc are allowed to go on expressway providing that they have a red license plate. They are however to be considered as cars, and as such cannot be parked in scooter parking spaces. === By car === [[File:Traffic restored on the 133K~135K section of Provincial Highway 21.jpg|thumb|View of Yushan Scenic Highway]] An international driving license is required for driving in Taiwan and may be used for up to 30 days, after which you'll need to apply for a local permit. Some municipalities may impose additional restrictions, so check ahead with the rental shop. [http://www.vipcar.com.tw/ VIP Rentals] in [[Taipei]] is quite happy to rent cars to foreigners, and will even deliver the car to a given destination. A deposit is often required, and the last day of rental is not pro-rated, but calculated on a per-hour basis at a separate (higher) rate. The numbered highway system is very good in Taiwan. Most traffic signs are in international symbols, but many signs show names of places and streets in Chinese only. All road directional signs are written in both Chinese and English, though the non-standardized Romanization means that English names can vary between road signs, making it rather confusing. The highways are in excellent shape with toll stations around every 30&nbsp;km (19&nbsp;mi). Toll is charged electronically and you pay the rental company when you return the car. Traffic moves on the right in Taiwan. Parking in cities is generally charged. A attendant will put a payment slip under your windscreen wiper, you can pay at convenience stores. While driving may be the best way to get around the countryside, in larger cities like Taipei and Kaohsiung, traffic jams are a problem as is the difficulty of finding a good parking space, especially during the rush hour and traffic tends to get chaotic so you might be better off relying on public transport instead. === By thumb === While Taiwanese themselves don't generally [[Hitchhiking|hitchhike]], foreigners will have it very easy to find a hitch. However, in rural areas people may not recognize the thumb in the air symbol, and you may try pointing your hand to the ground and waving towards you. It is very easy to flag down a car in rural and mountain regions. So, instead of waiting for that one bus a day that goes by, just hitch a ride. Flagging down a car might work on a country lane with little or no public transportation, but doing so on a major road might lead to confusion, with the driver assuming that you are in trouble. A sign, especially one in Chinese, would therefore be of great help. The East coast around Hualien and Taitung enjoys a reputation for being especially good for getting rides. Taiwanese people are very friendly and helpful, so striking up a conversation with someone at a transport café or freeway service station may well see you on your way. === By bicycle === Although Taiwan is known for being a major player in the [[cycling|bicycle]] industry (through companies such as Giant and Merida), bicycles used to be considered an unwanted reminder of less prosperous times. This has changed, and bicycling is again on the rise, both as a tool for commuting and recreation, and support infrastructure is slowly being put into place. Several bike paths have been built, and recreational cycling has become quite popular amongst locals, especially on weekends. However, you should also be aware that local drivers have a well deserved reputation for recklessness. As such, you should exercise extreme caution when cycling outside of designated bicycle lanes and trails. The government has been promoting bicycling as a method of clean recreation. Several designated bicycle paths have been built throughout Taiwan (especially along riverside parks). Additionally, [http://www.formosanfattire.com/trails/ long distance rides], including through the Central Mountain Range, and along the coastline around the main island have become popular. For long distance trips, bicycles can be shipped as is using standard freight service from the Taiwan Railway Administration between larger stations. Non-folding bicycles may also be transported aboard the Taipei and Kaohsiung rapid transit systems if loaded at specific stations, during off peak hours (usually 10:00-16:00 on weekdays, check with your local station personnel to confirm). * [https://www.metro.taipei/cp.aspx?n=F299BF5B3142389A Taipei MRT Route Map], bicycles may be loaded at designated stations * [http://www.krtco.com.tw/en/guide_StipulationsforPassengerswithBicycles.aspx Kaohsiung MRT Bicycle Information] (passengers traveling with non-folding bicycles are assessed a flat rate NT$60 fare irrespective of distance) Giant Bicycles Corporation operates a large network of bicycle retail stores that offer '''rentals''' for as little as NT$100 per day, if requested one week in advance. Generally, the day rate is around NT$300 for a modern bicycle. Also, rented bicycles can be picked up at one station and given back another station. This can be convenient if you want to go down the quiet east coast with a bicycle and back up the busy west coast with the train/bus. A one week finesse bike including bags costs as little as €100. Public shared bicycles are also available for rent at automated kiosks in most Taiwanese cities. Rental fees are usually paid using the rapid transit EasyCard or iPass system. There is YouBike in Taipei, which are available all over the city and even 30&nbsp;km out &ndash; see [[Taipei]] for more details. Additionally, many local police stations provide basic support services for cyclists, such as air pumps, and as a rest stop. === By plane === [[File:UNI Air MD-90-30 (B-17918) at Kaohsiung International Airport.jpg|thumb|Domestic plane, Taiwan]] Domestic air travel in Taiwan is primarily for outlying islands, as Taiwan is fairly compact with a modern and efficient rail network. There are also routes that connect the east and west coasts, since there is a geographical barrier between the two. There are no longer any west coast only routes as [[high speed rail]] has made them redundant. The main carriers are '''[http://www.mandarin-airlines.com/ Mandarin Airlines]''', a subsidiary of China Airlines; and '''[http://www.uniair.com.tw/ UNI Air]''', owned by EVA. There is also Daily Air and Far Eastern Air Transport. Flights are frequent, and it is usually unnecessary to book flights in advance, except during holidays. Fares for domestic flights are not too expensive, and local planes are very good. The domestic airport in Taipei is [http://www.tsa.gov.tw/tsa/en/home.aspx Songshan Airport], which is in the north of the Taipei and easily reached by MRT or taxi. Other domestic airports include those in [[Taitung]], [[Hualien]], [[Makung]] (Penghu/Pescadores), [[Kinmen]], [[Taichung]], [[Nangan]] and [[Beigan]]. Travellers heading to [[Kenting]] can use the direct and frequent bus service from Kaohsiung airport that connect with flights arriving from Taipei. If you want to visit Taiwan's smaller islands, the plane is still the best option, and is the only practical option for travelling to [[Kinmen]] and the easiest method of reaching [[Penghu]] and [[Matsu]]. For travel to Green Island and [[Orchid Island]], the plane from Taitung saves several hours over taking the ferry which is notorious among Taiwanese for its rough ride. ===On foot and navigation=== Taiwan is an excellent place for hiking and trekking, providing many interesting and picturesque trails in its mountainous centre, or just north-east of Taipei. For reliable maps and comprehensive trails and map information, consult [https://www.openstreetmap.org/ OpenStreetMap], which is also used by this travel guide, and by many mobile Apps like [http://osmand.net/ OsmAnd] (complex with many add-ons) and [https://maps.me/ MAPS.ME] (easy but limited). == See == Perhaps due to its political ambiguity and lack of global presence, Taiwan has never been a significant destination for Westerners. Nevertheless tourists from [[Japan]] and [[Hong Kong]] have been visiting Taiwan in droves for a long time, and they are being joined by an increasing number of Koreans, Southeast Asians and Westerners. The island is home to many cultural attractions, with an excellent selection right in the capital. Taipei is a bustling and modern metropolis, with ancient yet lively streets, and world-famous landmarks like '''Taipei 101'''. However, it's also home to the '''National Palace Museum''', '''Zhongshan Hall''', '''Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall''' and the beautifully restored '''Bao'an Temple'''. Bao'an is just one of many striking temple complexes worth a visit. For more, try the '''Zushi Temple''' in [[Sanxia]] or the '''Mazu temple''' in [[Makung]]. The large '''Longshan Temple''' in [[Lukang]] and the '''Confucian Temples''' of [[Changhua]] and [[Tainan]] are fine choices too. Tainan is the oldest city in Taiwan and therefore full of historic sites, especially colonial buildings, and including the Anping "Tree House" that's being slowly reclaimed by banyan trees. If you're looking for some deeper insights in Taiwan's history and culture, there's a wide range of '''museums''' to be explored, pretty much wherever your go. Taiwan retains its place as a major center of Chinese pop culture. In addition, this state is home to bustling cities with modern, high-tech infrastructure, and good transportation infrastructure means that getting around is easy. For those who have grown weary of the hustle and bustle of cities, Taiwan also offers some very impressive scenery and charming historical villages in its rural areas. === Nature === [[File:Taiwan 2009 HuaLien Taroko Gorge Narrow Gap and Road PB140025.jpg|thumb|200px|Taroko Gorge, Taroko National Park]] Some people think of Taiwan as a grimy, densely populated industrial island full of hard disk factories, and you may well maintain this perception if you only stick to the densely populated West Coast. However, for those who take time to venture to the more sparsely populated East Coast will quickly find that Taiwan is actually home to some stunning landscapes. The [[Taroko Gorge]] (太魯閣) near [[Hualien]] in particular is very impressive, and should not be missed, with a side trip to the rugged shores at ''Shihtiping'' (石梯坪) as a worthwhile detour. '''Hehuan Mountain''' and '''[[Sun Moon Lake]]''' are beautiful natural attractions near [[Nantou]], while the huge and ancient trees in '''[[Lalashan]]''' make for great hikes near [[Taoyuan]]. In fact, most of Taiwan is covered with mountains which offer breathtaking views, so hiking opportunities are very diverse. == Do == * '''Hot Springs''' (溫泉) – Taiwan's geographical location between an oceanic trench and volcanic system makes it an ideal hot springs vacation spot. There are several hot springs destinations throughout the country, including [[Beitou]] (北投), [[Wulai]] (烏來) and [[Yangmingshan]] (陽明山). The culture of bathing in hot springs was introduced by the Japanese during the colonial period, and remains firmly entrenched in the local culture to this day. At traditional establishments segregated by sex, you may be expected to bathe nude. However, many other places, particular those geared for foreigners, are unisex and require a bathing suit. ===Hiking=== Taiwan is an island of huge mountains (more than two hundred peaks over 3,000m) and there are many hiking opportunities. [[Taroko Gorge]] is popular for its incredible scenery, and serious hikers can trek [[Yushan]] or Wuling Sixiu, among many others. Even in [[Taipei]] and [[New Taipei]] there are a variety of trails to suit hikers of any level. Serious trekking is rather complicated due to an advance booking requirement (usually 7 days) and lodging lottery&mdash;see http://np.cpami.gov.tw/. Permits are required for many trails, especially remote or multi-day hikes and some (though not all!) in national parks. Nevertheless, there are also many trails available that do not need an application. They are mostly day hikes, but you can always put together your trip sections as preferred&mdash;consult apps that use [http://www.openstreetmap.org OpenStreetMap], like [http://osmand.net/ OsmAnd] and [https://maps.me/ MAPS.ME]. They have comprehensive and reliable tracks available. ===Shrimping=== Popular locally, and gaining traction with foreign tourists due to YouTube and travel bloggers, is the pastime of indoor shrimp fishing. For an hourly rate (around NT$300/hr), you will be provided with a fishing rod and a seat at an indoor shrimp pool that is regularly stocked with large live Thai prawns. While drinking beer and enjoying the laid back environment, you will be afforded an opportunity to catch dinner with locals. Almost all locales have a few indoor shrimp fishing pools to seek out. Almost all double as restaurants with tables and ovens available for use, allowing you to cook your catch on-site and order additional dishes as needed. ===Events=== * '''[http://www.springscream.com/ Spring Scream]''' (春天吶喊) – A three day outdoor rock concert in [[Kenting]], held every year. In 2011, it will take place on 1–4 April. Tickets are NT$1,400 for all days, all venues; NT$650 for one day, one venue. Kenting's entire area gets swarmed by young people coming to party for 3 days, and Taiwanese TV heavily reports on the latest bikini fashions seen on the spot. Be aware, though, that police presence will be strong, as the festival has a reputation for being rife with illegal drugs. * '''Buddha's Birthday''' (佛祖誕辰) – Colorful but simple ceremonies are held at Buddhist monasteries that generally consist of washing a statue of the Buddha and a vegetarian feast. It is appropriate to make offerings to the monks and nuns at this time, though it is not mandatory. Lunar Calendar 8th day of 4th month. * '''Dragon Boat Festival''' (龍舟賽) – A festival to commemorate the death of the Chinese patriotic poet Qu Yuan (born 340 BC), who drowned himself in a river out of despair that his beloved country, Chu, was being plundered by a neighboring country as a result of betrayal by his own people. The festival falls on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month (25 June 2020), and is marked by races of colorful dragon boats at various locations throughout the island. * '''Cherry Blossom Season''' (櫻花季) – Every spring, in [[Yangmingshan]] (陽明山). * '''Mazu Festival''' (媽祖生) – Festival commemorating the traditional birthday of Mazu, a traditional Chinese goddess who is popularly worshipped in Taiwan. The biggest celebration is an eight-day long "inspection tour" of a Mazu statue from the Zhenlan Temple in [[Taichung]] to the Chaotian Temple in [[Southern Taiwan|Beigang]] and back, though many other temples throughout Taiwan's main island and the outlying islands also conduct their own festivities. Lunar Calendar 23rd day of 3rd month. === Traditional pastimes === Generally speaking, traditional Chinese games such as [[Go]] (圍棋 ''wéiqí'') and [[Xiangqi|Chinese chess]] (象棋 ''xiàngqí'') are popular in Taiwan too. Both games are played at the professional level in Taiwan, and there are numerous tournaments that visitors may watch. While gambling is illegal in Taiwan, '''mahjong''' (Mandarin: 麻將 ''májiàng''; Taiwanese: 麻雀 ''moâ-chhiok'') remains popular. The Taiwanese version of the game derives from the Fujianese form, which differs significantly from the better known Cantonese and Japanese versions, most notably because a hand consists of 17 tiles instead of the 14 used in other versions. Mahjong in Taiwan is mostly a family and friends affair, and is usually played at social gatherings in people's houses. Mahjong clubs generally cater to groups of friends or family members looking to play together, though they can often assist in helping you find other players if you show up alone. While playing for money is not allowed at mahjong clubs due to Taiwan's anti-gambling laws, they will often allow you to exchange the points you win for various prizes. === Performing Arts === '''Glove puppet shows''' (布袋戲) originated in Fujian province on mainland China, and were brought to Taiwan by the first Han Chinese immigrants. Nevertheless, they have since been somewhat modernised and taken on some uniquely Taiwanese characteristics. Another traditional Taiwanese type of performance is '''Taiwanese opera''' (歌仔戲), which originated in [[Yilan]] based on traditional Chinese opera styles. == Buy == ===Money=== {{exchange rates | currency=New Taiwan dollars | currencyCode=NT$ | date=January 2022 | CNY=4.3 | EUR=31 | GBP=37 | JPY=24 | USD=28 | source=[http://www.xe.com/currency/twd-taiwan-new-dollar XE.com]}}The currency of Taiwan is the '''New Taiwan dollar''', denoted by the symbol "'''NT$'''" (新臺幣 or 臺幣, ISO code: '''NTD''', but also referred to as TWD). The NT dollar is known locally as NT, ''yuán'' (元 or more formally 圓) when written in Chinese or colloquially in Mandarin as the ''kuài'' (塊). One unit is known colloquially as the ''kho&#x358;'' (箍) in the Taiwanese dialect. One dollar is divided into 100 cents, known as a 分 (''fēn'') in Chinese. 10 cents is formally known as a 角 (''jiǎo''), and colloquially as a 毛 (''máo'') in Chinese. Any '''$''' sign you see in Taiwan or this travel guide for Taiwan generally refers to NTD unless it includes other initials (e.g. US$ for U.S. dollars). Banknotes come in denominations of NT$100, NT$200, NT$500, NT$1,000 and NT$2,000, while coins come in denominations of NT$½, NT$1, NT$5, NT$10, NT$20 and NT$50. The NT$½ coin is rarely seen or accepted because of its low value, and the price of raw materials used to make the coin is more than the face value of the coin. Taiwanese currency is fully convertible and there are no restrictions on taking currency into or out of the island. Currency exchange is possible internationally, although you will get a much better rate if you wait until you arrive at the airport to exchange currency at the 24-hour window. Most banks in Taipei and Kaohsiung will also exchange money or offer cash advances on credit or debit cards. Should you bring American currency, bring newer bills as the banks and exchange-centers (such as in department stores) will only accept the newer notes (notes from 1996 and 2003 are not accepted at most places, due to a high proportion of forgeries bearing these years). Notes which are torn or damaged will probably not be changed, and old-style small-bust notes are not accepted, including the US$2 bill no matter when it was printed. Taiwan National Bank will take older bank notes and bank notes that are wrinkled or torn for exchange. Department stores will not exchange notes older than 1997. Don't forget to show your passport! ====ATMs==== Taiwan has abundant ATMs to withdraw cash from using the Plus or Cirrus systems. Certain banks' ATMs will even tell you your available balance in your own currency or in NT$. There is a per transaction limit of NT$20,000 for ATM cash withdrawals (HSBC Global Access customers may withdraw NT$30,000 from HSBC ATMs). Post office ATMs will ''not'' accept cards without an EMV chip. However, ATMs are sometimes out of cash, especially in remote (mountain) regions. So, make sure you stock up on cash early enough. 7-Eleven ATMs charge NT$100 per transaction, whilst those in Family Marts do not charge a fee. ====Credit cards==== Most hotels and department stores accept credit cards, generally Visa, MasterCard, and JCB. Diners Club, Discover and American Express cards are seldom accepted. Most restaurants and small stores do not accept cards, and cash is the main form of payment. Because street crime is rare, it is common for people in Taiwan to carry large amounts of cash with them. ===== Mobile Wallets ===== Unlike mainland China, QR code based mobile wallet payments are not quite ubiquitous or essential to the point that a visitor would have a hard time without one. In addition, Taiwan's mobile wallet apps generally require foreigners to register with an ARC, limiting the ability of visitors to use it. However, LINE Pay, one of the most popular, is cross-compatible with its counterparts in Thailand, Japan, and South Korea, meaning that if you already have a LINE Pay account from one of those countries, it can be used with any linked credit or debit card to make payments at stores in Taiwan that take LINE Pay. Your card will be directly charged in NT$; LINE Pay does not automatically convert to your account currency. This can reduce the amount of cash you need to carry around as some shops that otherwise do not take card payments will take LINE Pay and other mobile wallets. ====Banks==== If you are planning on staying in Taiwan for a longer time, you should consider opening a Taiwanese bank account. While many of the large foreign banks such as Citibank and HSBC have branches in Taiwan, they often require huge deposits in order for you to open an account, so you might wish to consider one of the major local banks such as the Bank of Taiwan instead. You will need to bring your passport and UI number in order to open an account. The UI number is the number on the Alien Residence Card for those on long-term visas. For short-term tourists, they can obtain an "UI No. Basic Information Form" for free from the local Immigration Agency office, but this is not accepted by all banks. The larger banks will often have English-speaking staff available to assist foreigners. === Costs === Costs in Taiwan are generally lower than in Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong, but higher than in Southeast Asia and mainland China. For a budget traveller on a bare-bones budget, NT$1,000 will get you by for a day, but you'll probably want to double that for comfort. A meal at a street stall may cost NT$50 or less, a meal at a Western fast food restaurant will run you about NT$150 and at the fanciest restaurants, you can expect a bill in excess of NT$1,000. On the high end of the spectrum, hotel rooms at a swanky hotel might cost NT$5,000 or more. Costs diminish significantly the further you go out of the big cities. Taxis are quite reasonable and often have a set fare for common destinations, so ask in advance and haggle if you disagree. === Tipping === Tipping is generally '''not''' practiced in Taiwan. Bellhops in high end hotels and porters at airports are an exception and should be given NT$50 per bag. Also, tipping to show appreciation for exceptional service is not uncommon. Tipping is also not expected in taxis and drivers would usually return your change to the last dollar. In place of tips is a 10% service charge when dining at most full-service restaurants which is automatically added to the bill. ===Shopping=== [[File:Linjiang Street Night Market 20040610.jpg|thumb|A typical night market in Taiwan may sell anything from food to clothing to fortune telling services]] As in many Asian countries, night markets are a staple of Taiwanese entertainment, shopping and eating. Night markets are open-air markets, usually on a street or alleyway, with vendors selling all sorts of wares on every side. In the larger cities you will have a night market every night and in the same place. In smaller cities, they are only open certain nights of the week, and may move to different streets depending on the day of the week. Every city has at least one night market; larger cities like [[Taipei]] may have a dozen or more. Night markets are crowded, so remember to watch out for your wallet! Shops selling the same items tend to congregate in the same part of the city. If you want to buy something, ask someone to take you to one shop and there will probably be shops selling similar things nearby. There are many shopping centres in Taipei where prices are usually fixed and goods are genuine. Otherwise, shopping streets in larger cities like [[Kaohsiung]] and [[Taichung]] can also easily get you what you want. And of course, there is the trendy Ximending (西門町) in Taipei, where you can pretty much find anything associated with the youths, also at fixed prices. Computer chain shops and department stores normally have fixed prices, but at least in department stores you may get a "registered member discount" if you're shopping a lot. Prices at smaller stores and even some hostels are normally cash prices. If you like to use a credit card, the seller normally wants to add anything up to 8% to the price as a "card fee" etc. The fee consists actually of the credit company's commission and also the local sales tax/VAT. If you pay cash, you might not get an official receipt, as then the seller would have to report and pay their taxes in full. If you ask for a receipt or "fa piao" (發票), you will get it but you may need to pay 3-5% more. ===Bargaining=== Whilst [[bargaining]] was OK in the past and expected in night markets as well as smaller stores, nowadays most prices are fixed. Taiwan has become a sophisticated and wealthy country where most Taiwanese, especially from the cities, generally do not request discounts and any such are likely to receive a friendly ''No''. Nevertheless, you will encounter different prices, e.g. cut fruits will cost NT$30 at the Night Market, but NT$80 in tourist areas. However, it is possible to get a discount of NT$20-100 when renting a motorbike/bicycle, searching for accommodation or such, depending on the circumstances and time of day. While you might miss a general bargaining culture and be bewildered by the general bargain inflexibility of Taiwanese, it can on the other hand be calming to know that no one will try to rip you off as it is common in other less-developed Southeast Asian countries. === What to buy === Popular things to buy include: * '''Jade'''. Although it can be hard to know for sure if the item you're buying is real jade or not, some beautiful objects are sold. Most cities have a specific jade market dealing in jade and other precious stones. * '''Computers'''. Taiwan designs and produces a lot of desktops, laptops, and PC peripherals. Travellers might be interested in visiting the large Information Technology Market at Taiwan for the best prices. Desktop computers and components tend to be the same price in Taiwan as in other areas of the world, though peripherals such as cables and adapters tend to be noticeably cheaper. If you're buying domestic, it's best to go to tourist hangouts to buy your stuff as you might be saddled with Chinese documentation otherwise. Also, notebooks are typically only available with a Chinese Bopomofo and English keyboard. * '''Lingzhi''' (靈芝). A type of bracket fungus that is often used as a Chinese herb. It supposedly has many health benefits with an apparent absence of side effects, earning it a high reputation in East Asian countries and making it rather expensive. Taiwanese lingzhi is particularly famous for being of the highest quality. * '''[[Tea]]'''. Taiwan is particularly famous for its oolong tea (烏龍茶) due to the island's predominant Fujianese culture; it is available at many tea shops. Tea tasting in Chinese culture is akin to wine tasting in Western culture and you will find many grades of this same type of tea, with different methods of treating the tea leaves. * '''[[w:Iron egg|Iron eggs]]''' (鐵蛋) irresistible delicacy In order to protect the environment, a government policy rules that plastic bags cannot be given freely at stores in Taiwan, but have to be bought (at a flat rate of NT$1)—bakeries being an exception as the items need to be hygienically wrapped. Re-usable canvas and nylon bags are sold at most supermarkets. == Eat == {{seealso|Chinese cuisine}} {{infobox|Stinky tofu|Undoubtedly the most infamous Taiwanese delicacy, stinky tofu (臭豆腐 ''chòudòufu'') is fermented tofu with a strong odor often likened to rotting garbage. It's usually sold only by outdoor stalls, as the smell would overwhelm most restaurants, but if you can hold your nose long enough to eat it, the taste is quite mild &mdash; but with distinct earthy overtones that many visitors find off-putting. It's most commonly eaten fried, but for extra Fear Factor points, find some ''mala'' hotpot (麻辣鍋) with stinky tofu and gelatinized duck blood.}} [[File:Food_BeefNoodleSoup.JPG|thumb|Taiwanese beef noodle soup]] [[File:Food_AiyuLemonJelly.JPG|thumb|Lemon ''aiyu'' jelly]] Taiwan is a food lover's paradise, and a popular culinary tourism destination for East and Southeast Asian tourists. While not as highly regarded as the food from Hong Kong due to the traditionally high status Cantonese cuisine holds in Chinese culture, Taiwanese food has become more respected. Generally speaking, the foods of Taiwan are derived from '''mainland Chinese cuisines'''. Because most Taiwanese trace their ancestry to [[Fujian]], it comes as no surprise that much of Taiwanese cuisine was derived from the cuisine of Fujian. It is also possible to find [[Szechuan]] (四川) food, [[Hunan]] (湖南) food, [[Dongbei]] (東北) food, [[Guangdong|Cantonese]] (廣東) food and almost every other Chinese cuisine on the island, because many famous chefs from the mainland fled to Taiwan after the communist victory in 1949, and many Nationalist soldiers brought their family recipes with them when retreating from the mainland. That being said, Taiwanese cuisine has absorbed substantial local influences, and significant Japanese influences because of 50 years of Japanese colonial rule, giving it a unique character that distinguishes it from its mainland Chinese counterparts. The Taiwanese are also passionately in love with eggs and seafood. Fruits are another famous part of Taiwanese food. A wide range of fruits can be found at local fruit shops and stations. The subtropical climate allows different fruits to grow nicely. Taiwan also has many of its own '''local specialties'''. A few found island wide include: * '''[[w:Beef noodles|Beef Noodles]]''' (牛肉麵 ''niúròu miàn'') – Noodle soup with chunks of meltingly soft stewed beef and a dash of pickles derived from the cuisines of Sichuan. * '''[[w:Oyster omelette|Oyster omelette]]''' (蚵仔煎 ''ó āh jiān'' – This is the Taiwanese name, as its Chinese name only exists in characters, but not in oral Mandarin), a dish made from eggs, oysters, sweet potato flour and the leaves of a local chrysanthemum, topped with sweet red sauce. The local version in [[Kinmen]] differs quite considerably from the version on the main island, and is closer to the versions served in mainland China's Fujian province. * '''[[w:Aiyu jelly|Aiyu jelly]]''' (愛玉 ''àiyù'') – Made from the seeds of a local fig and usually served on ice &mdash; sweet, cool and refreshing on a hot day * '''Taiwan Sausage''' (香腸 ''xiāngcháng'') – Usually made from pork, it is a modified version of the Cantonese ''laap cheong'' (臘腸) which has been emulsified and is much sweeter in taste. Unlike ''laap cheong'', which is almost always eaten with rice, Taiwanese ''xiangchang'' is usually eaten on its own with some garlic. * '''Taiwanese Orange''' (柳丁 ''liŭdīng'') – A type of citrus fruit which is similar to usual oranges, except that the skin and flesh tend to look more yellowish like lemon. Unlike lemon, it is usually quite sweet. * '''Taiwanese Porridge''' (粥 ''zhōu'' in Mandarin, 糜 ''beh'' in Taiwanese) — Rice porridge cooked with sweet potato eaten all across China but most commonly in Fujian. It is usually eaten with several different dishes or eaten by people with illnesses. * '''[[w:Braised pork rice|Braised pork rice]]''' (滷肉飯 ''lǔ ròu fàn'') – Rice topped with pork belly that has been stewed in dark soy sauce and other spices and chopped into tiny pieces. A classic Taiwanese comfort dish. For a less fatty version, ask for 肉燥飯 (''ròu zào fàn''), which uses minced pork instead. * '''[[w:Taiwan Railway Bento|Railway Bento]]''' (臺鐵便當 ''Tái tiě biàndang'') - A national culinary icon and Taiwanese train tradition, this takeaway dish is a holdover of the Japanese era, and celebrated in Taiwan. The most popular bento is the braised pork cutlet bento. You can find this dish at train stations in Taiwan (though locals compare the quality of railway bento on a station-by-station basis), but adaptations are sold by various restaurants across Taiwan. Most cities and towns in Taiwan are famous for special foods because of the Taiwanese passion for food and influences from many different countries. For example, Ilan (宜蘭) is famous for its mochi (麻吉), a sticky rice snack often flavored with sesame, peanuts or other flavorings. [[Yungho|Yonghe]] (永和), a suburb of Taipei, is famous for its freshly made soy milk (豆漿) and breakfast foods. [[Taichung]] is famous for its sun cakes (太陽餅 ''tàiyáng bǐng''), a kind of sweet stuffed pastry. In [[Chiayi]], it's square cookies, also called cubic pastry (方塊酥), crispy layered cookies cut into squares and sprinkled liberally with sesame seeds. [[Tainan]] is particularly famous among the Taiwanese for its abundance of good food and should be a stop for all gourmands. The most famous dish is arguably the ''coffin bread'' (棺材板). Virtually every city has its own famous specialties; many Taiwanese tourists will visit other cities on the island simply to try the local foods and then return home. Taiwan also has remarkably good '''bakery items'''. Most specialize in sweet Chinese pastries or Western pastries adjusted to local tastes, but look out for ''We Care'' bakeries which also offer Western options such as whole wheat loaves, sour breads and ciabatta. Vegetarians are better catered for in restaurants and variety than in most other countries. Michelin publishes a [https://guide.michelin.com/tw/en/taipei-region/taipei guide] to restaurants in Taipei. That said, it does not cover the whole of Taiwan, and most locals only take the Michelin guide with a pinch of salt. === Places to eat === If you're on a budget, the cheapest food can be found in back-alley noodle shops and night market stalls, where you can get a filling bowl of noodles for around NT$35-70. The Taiwanese love to snack and even many restaurants advertise ''xiaochi'' (小吃), literally "small eats", the Taiwanese equivalent of Cantonese ''dim sum''. There are also the standard '''fast food''' places such as McDonalds (a standard Big Mac Meal costs NT$115), KFC and MOS Burger. In addition there are large numbers of convenience stores (such as 7-Eleven and Family Mart) that sell things like tea eggs, sandwiches, bento boxes (便當盒) and drinks. Night markets are also a good place to try some delicious local Taiwanese fare at attractive prices. Examples would be the Shilin Night Market (士林夜市) in [[Taipei]] and the Ruifeng Night Market (瑞豐夜市) in [[Kaohsiung]], each of which has its own special dishes not to be missed. === Etiquette === As with Chinese cuisine elsewhere, food in Taiwan is generally eaten with chopsticks and served on large plates placed at the center of the table and shared among multiple people. Oftentimes, a serving spoon or pair of chopsticks (公筷 ''gōngkuài'') accompanies the dishes and guests do not use their own chopsticks to transfer food to their plates. The usual traditional Chinese taboos when eating with chopsticks apply in Taiwan as well. For instance, do not stick your chopsticks straight up or into your bowl of rice. This is reminiscent of incense sticks at a temple, and has connotations of wishing death upon those around you. When putting down chopsticks, either place them on the provided porcelain chopstick rest (at fancier restaurants) or rest the chopsticks across the top of your bowl. Also, do not use your chopsticks to spear your food or move bowls and plates. See [[Chinese cuisine#Etiquette|Chinese table etiquette]] for more details. Although there are minor differences between Taiwanese and mainland Chinese etiquette, much of traditional Chinese table manners apply to Taiwan too. === Dietary restrictions === ====Vegetarians==== [[File:Sush Manji.JPG|thumb|The characters 素食 signal the availability of vegetarian food]] All Mahayana Buddhists, which account for the majority of adherents in Taiwan, aspire to be pure '''vegetarian''' in deference to the Buddha's teaching of non-violence and compassion. So, vegetarian restaurants (called ''su-shi'' 素食 ''tsan-ting'' 餐廳 in Mandarin, and often identified with the 卍 symbol) can be found in abundance all over the island, and they run from cheap buffet style to gourmet and organic. Buffet styled restaurants (called 自助餐, which means "Serve Yourself Restaurant") are common in almost every neighborhood in large cities, and unlike the 'all-you-can-eat' buffets (which charge a set price, usually ranging from NT$250-350 including dessert and coffee/tea), the cost is estimated by the weight of the food on your plate. Rice (there is usually a choice of brown or white) is charged separately, but soup or cold tea is free and you can refill as many times as you like. NT$90-120 will buy you a good sized, nutritious meal. However, if you cannot find a veggie restaurant, don't fret. Taiwanese people are very flexible and most restaurants will be happy to cook you up something to suit your requirements. The following sentences in Mandarin might be helpful: 我吃素 (''Wǒ chī sù'') - I'm vegetarian, 我不吃肉 (''Wǒ bù chī ròu'') - I don't eat meat. However, as Mandarin is a tonal language, you might need to say both, plus practice your acting skills to get yourself understood. Good luck! NB: If a restaurant refuses your order, don't push the issue. The reason will not be an unwillingness to accommodate your request, but because the basic ingredients of their dishes may include chicken broth or pork fat. Taiwanese vegetarianism (素食) isn't simply vegetarianism, for there is a notion of "plainness" to it. In most cases it excludes items such onion, ginger, and garlic. Buddhists and Taoists consider these items "un-plain" because they potentially cause physical excitement, which could hinder the meditative process. Thus, when offering food to a strict vegetarian, be aware that they may not eat food containing onion, ginger, and garlic. Although vegetarian restaurants in Taiwan do not aspire to '''vegan''' principles, almost all non-dessert dishes at Chinese style veggie restaurants will actually be vegan because Taiwanese do not have a tradition of eating dairy products. Ensure that your dish does not contain eggs, however. ====Allergies==== Awareness of '''food allergies''' is limited in Taiwan. If you can speak Chinese, you can ask restaurant staff about whether the food contains common allergens like peanuts or shellfish, and depending on the chef, they may be able to make some adjustments to accommodate you. Don't expect that level of accommodation from night markets stalls though. A serious '''soy''' allergy is basically incompatible with Taiwanese cuisine due to the prevalence of soy sauce as an ingredient, and '''gluten-free''' diets are very difficult to come by due to the very low incidence of celiac disease in Taiwan. '''Dairy''' is not commonly used in traditional Taiwanese cuisine, so avoiding it should be straightforward for lactose-intolerant people. ====Religious diets==== People on religious diets will have a ''hard time'' in Taiwan, and you will need to do some planning in advance. [[Islam|Muslims]] should contact the [http://www.cmainroc.org.tw Chinese Muslim Association] for advice on where to find ''halal'' food, while [[Judaism|Jews]] should contact the [https://www.jewish.tw/ Chabad Taiwan] for information on where to find ''kosher'' food. == Drink == [[File:HeySong beverage vending machine 20120917.jpg|thumb|Drinks vending machine in Taiwan]] As Taiwan is a subtropical island with the south part in the tropics, it cannot hurt to drink a lot, especially during summertime. Drink vending machines can be found virtually everywhere and are filled with all kinds of juices, tea and coffee drinks, soy milk and mineral water. === Alcohol === Taiwan's legal age to consume alcohol is 18 years of age. Minors caught drinking can face fines ranging from NT$10,000-50,000. Traditional alcoholic drinks in Taiwan are very strong. '''Kaoliang''' (高粱酒) from [[Kinmen]] is the most famous alcoholic drink. A distilled grain liquor, it is extremely strong, usually 140 proof or more, and often drunk straight. Taiwan also produces many types of '''Shaoxing''' (紹興酒), rice wine, which are considered by many as being some of the best in the world. While a relatively newcomer to the scene, Taiwanese '''[[whisky]]''' (威士忌) has been making waves in the 21st century, with local whiskey brand [http://www.kavalanwhisky.com/ Kavalan] having emerged from obscurity to win numerous prestigious international awards. Taiwanese people enjoy beer on ice. A wide variety of imported beers are available, but the standard is '''Taiwan Beer''' (台灣啤酒), produced by a former government monopoly. It is brewed with fragrant penglai rice in addition to barley giving it a distinctive flavor. The beer is served cold and recognized as an especially suitable complement to Taiwanese and Japanese cuisine, especially seafood dishes such as sushi and sashimi. Taiwan Beer has won international awards, including the International Monde Selection in 1977 and the Brewing Industry International Awards in 2002. Beer on tap is uncommon in Taiwan, and most places serve beer in bottles. For a special and rare treat, ask for the Taiwan Draft Beer (台灣生啤酒), which comes in a plain green bottle. This has a 2-week expiration, so it can only be found at the breweries (there are a few scattered around Taiwan) or at select stores and restaurants in the vicinity. === Tea and coffee === [[File:TimeForTea BubbleTea.JPG|thumb|Pearl milk tea and pudding milk tea, [[Chiayi]]]] Taiwan's specialty teas are '''High Mountain Oolong''' (高山烏龍, ''Gao-shan wulong''), a fragrant light tea, and '''Tie Guan-yin''' (鐵觀音), a dark, rich brew. Enjoying this tea, served in the traditional way using a very small teapot and tiny cups, is an experience you should not miss. This way of taking tea is called ''lao ren cha'' (老人茶), 'old people's tea', and the name is derived from the fact that only the elderly traditionally had the luxury of time to relax and enjoy tea in this way. Check the small print when visiting a traditional tea house though: in addition to the tea itself, you may be charged a cover (茶水費, literally "tea-water fee") for the elaborate process of preparing it and for any nibbles served on the side. One should also try '''Lei cha''' (擂茶; léi chá) a tasty and nourishing Hakka Chinese tea-based dish consisting of a mix ground tea leaves and rice. Some stores specialize in this product and allows one to grind their own lei cha. As with Chinese teas elsewhere, Chinese teas in Taiwan are always drunk neat, with the use of milk or sugar unknown. However, Taiwan is also the birthplace of pearl milk tea, which uses sugar and milk. '''Pearl milk tea''' (珍珠奶茶 ''zhēnzhū nǎichá''), aka "bubble tea" or "boba tea", is milky tea with chewy balls of tapioca added, drunk through an over-sized straw. Invented in Taiwan in the early 1980s and a huge Asia-wide craze in the 1990s, it's not quite as popular as it once was but can still be found at nearly every coffee or tea shop. Look for a shop where it is freshly made. There are two cafes that maintain rival claims to having invented the drink: '''[https://chunshuitang.com.tw/ Chun Shui Tang]''' (春水堂) in [[Taichung]] and '''[http://www.hanlin-tea.com.tw/ Hanlin Tea Room]''' (翰林茶館) in [[Tainan]]. The '''cafe culture''' has hit Taiwan in a big way, and in addition to an abundance of privately owned cafes, all the major chains, such as Starbucks, have a multitude of branches throughout major towns and cities. === Soft drinks === Taiwan is a great place for fruit drinks. Small fruit-juice bars make them fresh on the spot and are experts at creating fruit-juice cocktails (non-alcoholic, of course). ''zong-he'' (mixed) is usually a sweet and sour combination and ''mu-gwa niou-nai'' (木瓜牛奶) is iced papaya milk. If you don't want ice (though it is safe in Taiwan, even at road side vendors) say, ''chu bing'' (去冰) and no sugar (''wu tang'' (無糖)). '''Soy milk''', or ''doujiang'' (豆漿), is a great treat. Try it hot or cold. Savory soy milk is a traditional Taiwanese breakfast dish. It is somewhat of an acquired taste as vinegar is added to curdle the milk. Both sweet and savory soy milk are often ordered with you-tiao (油條), or deep fried dough crullers. There are a lot of pseudo health drinks in Taiwanese supermarkets and convenience stores. Look out for asparagus juice and lavender milk tea for example. == Sleep == [[File:GrandHotel Fountain.JPG|thumb|250px|The Grand Hotel, Taipei]] ===Types=== * For the budget-minded, there are '''hostels''' in Taipei and most other sizable cities. Some hostels are under table which mean they don't have valid license. * '''Motels''' (汽車旅館) can be easily found in suburbs of major cities. Despite the name, these have little if anything to do with the cheap functional hotels that use the name elsewhere; in Taiwan, motels are intended for '''romantic trysts''' and can be quite extravagant in decor and facilities. Many feature enormous baths with massage jets, separate massage showers, marble tiles, and so forth. Suites come with flat screen TVs and centrally controlled sound systems. During the daytime, most offer "rests" (休息) of a few hours, and indeed check-in times for overnight stays (住宿) can be as late at 22:00. [[Taichung]] is considered the motel-capital of Taiwan. * Taiwanese '''hotels''' range in quality from seedy to very luxurious. Despite the complexities of doing business with both mainland China and Taiwan, most Western hotel chains operate in Taiwan such as Sheraton, Westin and Hyatt. Also, there are plenty of five-star hotels around. Keep in mind, however, that many of the international hotels tend to be outrageously expensive, while comparable and much cheaper accommodation is usually available in the same vicinity. For example, the airport hotel at CKS International charges about three or four times as much as a hotel in Taoyuan which is a half hour cab ride away. Taxi drivers and tourist offices are invaluable resources for finding cheaper hotels. * A uniquely Taiwanese form of accommodation is known as the '''''minsu''''' (民宿), which is similar to Bed and Breakfast accommodation that you usually find in the UK. Although typically cheaper than hotels, the facilities can often be as good as those of some higher end hotels, and many are designed around a specific theme (like fairy tale castle, nature lodge) Accommodation at a minsu typically includes breakfast the next morning, and higher end ones sometimes also give you the option of having a home-cooked style dinner. The downside is that most minsu are either in residential suburbs or in the countryside, meaning that transportation is typically less convenient that at centrally located hotels, and the availability of wi-fi can be a hit or miss. In addition, most minsu advertise in Chinese only. * '''Camping''' does not seem to be an issue in Taiwan and is available in many areas, even in national parks like [[Kenting National Park]]. Although, in [[Taroko Gorge|Taroko Gorge (National Park)]] you will have to pay for the camp ground. In general, a small fees may apply at official camp grounds. Inquire with the local tourist information centre where it is possible to camp and where not. Also, be aware there are "poisonous snakes and wasps" signs all over the country. So, make sure you know where you are camping, and how to keep out "unwanted guests". Consult a map like [http://openpoimap.org/?map=hotels&zoom=14&lat=21.93964&lon=120.72386&layers=B00FFTFFFFFFFF OpenStreetMap], which many mobile Apps like [http://osmand.net/ OsmAnd], and [https://maps.me/ MAPS.ME], use, to find existing camp grounds or good locations. ===Remarks=== Nowadays, '''walk-ins''' are often more expensive that online bookings, especially with bigger hotels. It often seems, they cannot even beat their own online prices and you might need to book online instead of paying in cash on-sight&mdash;they will even courteously offer their WiFi for you to do that. Either way, it is advisable that you know what is the actual price online, which gives you a good bargaining ground. Sometimes they will quote a higher price, sometimes they will give you NT$50 less, but often it is just the online price. If you are still in need of a discount, send the ho(s)tel an email or WeChat/Line message quoting the online price. Some will give you 10 % discount on the online price this way, especially for same day short notice bookings. Generally, short notice bookings will give you a better price, since hotels are trying to sell their stock at a bargain price last-minute. However, do not try this for Saturday/Sunday or Holiday/Holiday bookings, this will leave you with bad or no options. Many hotels in Taiwan have both Chinese and Western names, which can differ radically. Find out and bring along the Chinese name (in Chinese characters), as locals will usually not be able to identify the English ones. Hotel beds in Taiwan are generally much harder than in the West because of the old Asian tradition to sleep on a wood board. Modern mattresses can be found in most hotels, but only in the most upscale Western style hotels will you find beds in a real western style. Many accommodations are not staffed 24/7, but they will leave a contact at their door. Often this will be a '''WeChat''' or '''Line''' contact, which are like WhatsApp. Thus, it makes sense to get these apps while travelling in Taiwan. Agoda seems to list more accommodation options than Booking for Taiwan. However, Agoda's way of claiming additional fees and stating dorm bed availability is a little dodgy. It often says "1 person in a dorm" but then "Occupancy: 2 adults". So, better to book each person separately just in case. Also, never choose the option to get charged in you credit card's home currency (€, US$, or so). This will give you a very bad exchange rate. Always select "TWD" as charged currency&mdash;in this case your home bank is indeed your friend. '''Or''' just get the displayed address/GPS, which is always fully displayed, and walk into the hotel. == Learn == Taiwan is home to several good universities, many of which have exchange agreements with various foreign universities, and these are a good way to experience life in Taiwan. The most prestigious university in Taiwan is the '''[https://www.ntu.edu.tw/english/ National Taiwan University]''' (國立臺灣大學). === Mandarin Chinese === Some universities in Taiwan have Chinese Promoting Programs (華語文推廣中心) that offers Chinese lessons to foreigners who wish to live in Taiwan or to learn Mandarin Chinese as their second or foreign language. The romanisation system taught here nowadays is Hanyu Pinyin (漢語拼音), whereas in the past they taught Zhuyin (注音), or BoPoMoFo (ㄅㄆㄇㄈ). The writing system taught is Traditional Chinese and the form of Mandarin is based on the Beijing dialect but the Taiwanese accent is quite noticeable. === [[Martial arts]] === There are many styles of '''kung fu''' (功夫) taught in Taiwan, largely by masters who came here with the Kuomintang in the late 1940s. Styles include Ba Gua (八卦), Tai Chi (太極), Wing Chun (詠春), Praying Mantis (螳螂), Shway (水) Shiao and various weapons systems. Many of the students are westerners in these classes, which has led to the rise of several [http://www.theallegra.com/ NHB Allegra] schools, and Brazilian Ju Jitsu, Russian Sambo, Japanese Aikido. Some of the more famous teachers will provide you with the paperwork needed to extend a student visa twice. Taekwondo is also extremely popular and is often a mandatory part of school children's physical education. == Work == [[File:Kaohsiung birdseyeview.jpg|thumb|Kaohsiung skyline]] The majority of travelers who work in Taiwan pick up temporary jobs [[teaching English]]. Jobs teaching other languages (mainly European or Japanese) do exist but have a much smaller proportion of the market. '''Job requirements''': In finding employment with a language school, experience, teaching qualifications and references are not required but obviously help. On paper, a big issue is also made about accents, with the North American English accent being heavily favored over British, Australian and South African accents in many language schools' sales marketing. However, in practice, many schools that advertise 'American English' and claim that their teachers are all from Canada or the USA, actually employ teachers from anywhere. Age is a factor, with applicants in their 20s seemingly being preferred. More than anything, appearance is probably the major factor in finding employment with most schools—Do you 'look Western'?—and reliability and turning up on time for work is then the major factor for keeping your job. Therefore, if you look the part, it is very easy to find a school willing to take you on for at least a few days. This 'look Western' point has quite a bearing. Unfortunately, Taiwan is hardly a great promoter of '''equal opportunities'''. In many schools there is a prejudice against teachers applying for jobs who are not of white appearance, seen as the typical Western appearance in Asian countries. This is independent of whether or not the teacher has relevant teaching ability and citizenship of one of the permitted ARC countries. Many parents who send their children to schools to be taught English expect the teacher to look like they are from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Australia, and so on, and so the decision on the part of the school managers is mainly about economics. For those affected by this, it's a sad fact of Taiwan that is unlikely to change in the near future. Good employers without such prejudiced requirements do exist, but greater perseverance is needed when looking for them. It is illegal to work without a '''work permit''' and an ARC (or Alien Residency Permit), and legal work requires a university degree and usually a long (over two month) application process. Alternatively, if you have a lot of money, you can obtain an '''investor visa''' by investing a large sum of money in a local business, which allows you to work for that company in a management capacity. However, illegal employment is easy to find with many school managers being willing to pay under the table for short durations. If caught or reported, you risk criminal charges and could be deported. The government tends to waver from being very lax on this issue under one administration to suddenly taking action under the next; but it only takes one disgruntled student to report you and have you fined and deported. Consider your options carefully! The '''rules for getting an ARC''' do change often and each administrative part of Taiwan has its own ways of handling them, so it is best to check the pages of the [http://www.forumosa.com/taiwan/index.php website Forumosa] and find out what the experiences of others are in your area. Keep in mind, that you can only get an ARC for English teaching if you are a 'citizen of a native English speaking country'. Taiwan's government defines these countries to be only the U.S., Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and South Africa. Almost all teachers apply for an ARC through their employers only after starting work and it is tied to their ongoing employment with that school. Therefore, if the teacher wishes to leave their employment, they will have to quickly find an alternative employer or lose their ARC and hence be required to leave Taiwan. Also, very few schools will arrange an ARC without at least a year-long contract being signed. Frankly, with all this inflexibility, it's no wonder so many teachers opt for the non-legal route. That and tax evasion. Citizens of Germany, Australia, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Ireland and Canada aged 18–30 can apply for a '''working holiday visa'''. For more information, visit the [http://www.boca.gov.tw/lp.asp?ctNode=783&CtUnit=80&BaseDSD=7&mp=2 Bureau of Consular Affairs website]. After living in Taiwan continuously for 5 years, you may apply for '''permanent residency'''. If granted, it allows you to live and work in Taiwan indefinitely without restrictions. A lot of the illegal teaching work that the majority of English teachers partake in is simply through '''private student''' tuition with payment being cash-in-hand. You can find a lot of private students around universities that have a Chinese-teaching department—look for the areas where all the foreign students are and check the noticeboards. Because the majority of adult private students want to practice English conversation, you won't need to have any Chinese ability. However, it is definitely a selling point and, if you do have Chinese-speaking ability, it's worthwhile mentioning that in any advertising of your services. Also, once you have some regular students, remember that in Taiwan, as in most Asian countries, 'connections' or 'guanxi' are very important. If your students like you, they will in all likelihood recommend you to their family and friends. Teaching English in Taiwan can be lucrative, as the '''salaries''' are very high compared to the cost of living, typically ranging NT$500-650 per hour before deductions in most language schools, with anything between NT$500-1,000 per hour being negotiable for private students. In the past few years, the flow of would-be teachers into Taiwan has increased dramatically, resulting in stiffer competition for jobs and a general drop in wages, and this trend may continue. Employers of English teachers are notorious for racial discrimination. White people are much more likely to get better offers than those of other races, regardless of ability. Aside from English-teaching, '''other common kinds of employment''' available for mainly native English-speaking travellers include such tid-bits as small acting parts for TV and film, voice talent (video games, dubbing tracks, etc.), editing and even writing educational materials. Many of these jobs are advertised on billboards in Chinese language-teaching institutes and universities, where there are likely to be many foreign students. If after travelling and living there, you find you are '''serious about working in Taiwan''', the most lucrative employment to be had is if you are employed by a multinational company, perhaps in a high-paying country like the UK, U.S. or Australia, and you are sent across to their office in Taiwan. Many foreigners end up doing the same job as their colleagues who were employed in the Taiwan office, but for perhaps 3 or 4 times their pay. == Stay safe == {{warningbox|'''Taiwan treats drug offenses ''extremely'' severely.''' The '''death penalty is mandatory''' for those convicted of trafficking, manufacturing, importing or exporting more than 15 g of heroin, 30 g of morphine, 30 g of cocaine, 500 g of cannabis, 200 g of cannabis resin and 1.2 kg of opium, and possession of these quantities is all that is needed for you to be convicted. Unauthorized consumption can result in up to 10 years' jail, or a heavy fine, or both. You can be charged for unauthorized consumption as long as traces of illicit drugs are found in your system, even if you can prove that they were consumed outside the country and you can be charged for trafficking as long as drugs are found in bags that are in your possession or in your room, even if they aren't yours and regardless of whether you're aware of them. Therefore, be vigilant of your possessions.}} === Crime === [[File:CKS Airport drugs sign.JPG|thumb|A sign at the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport warns arriving travellers that drug trafficking is a capital offense in the country.]] Taiwan is very safe for tourists, even for women walking down the street alone at night. This is not to say, however, that there is no crime, and you should always exercise caution. In crowded areas such as night markets or festivals, for example, [[pickpockets]] are a known problem. However, it is fair to say that the streets of Taiwan are generally very safe and that violent crime and muggings are very rare. In addition, it is also very unusual to see drunks on the street, day or night. Like anywhere else in the world, women should be cautious when taking taxis alone late at night. Although they are generally safe, it's a good idea to arrange to have a friend call you when you get home and to be seen making the arrangements for this by the cab driver. It also helps if a friend sees you being picked up as taxis have visible license numbers. As an additional safety precaution, tell taxi drivers just the street name and section instead of your exact address. [[File:RPO First Police Section Taoyaun Police Station in Taoyuan Station.jpg|thumb|A police station in Taiwan]] Police departments in most jurisdictions have a Foreign Affairs Police unit staffed by English-speaking officers. When reporting a major crime, it is advisable to contact the Foreign Affairs unit in addition to officers at the local precinct. Police stations are marked with a red light above the door and display a sign with the word "Police" clearly printed in English. For more information see the [http://www.npa.gov.tw National Police Agency website ]. Foreign victims of a major crime in Taiwan are also advised to report the matter to their government's representative office in Taipei. Also, remember that you call 110 for police in Taiwan, and 119 for fire department or medical help. Most of the public telephone booths allow you to call 110 or 119 for free. See "Emergency Phone Numbers" section below. Taiwan is home to many triads (Chinese organized crime syndicates), although they almost never target the average person in the street, and most tourists will not encounter them. Many operate human trafficking rings involving the sale of poor women from Southeast Asia into sex slavery that the government has struggled to tackle. They are also often involved in illegal betting and loansharking, so it is best to be prudent and avoid these. ===Military exercises=== [[File:20160225 台東縣政新聞 萬安39號演習25日下午實施 9ebfd80f-d8a3-4444-8eca-58d3473dff15.jpg|thumb|Evacuated streets during Wan-an Exercise.]] The Taiwanese military organizes regular civil-defense exercise, known as Wan-an Exercise (萬安演習). Air raid sirens are activated for 30 minutes during the exercise, and you are required to follow any evacuation orders made by the military and police. *If you are in a building, you should close all windows and doors and turn off lights. *If you are driving, you must '''pull over your vehicle and make a complete stop'''. Vehicles must not enter any motorways, but must leave the motorway and pull over your vehicle in exits. Traffic police will give proper instructions to drivers and regulate traffic flow. *If you are taking a train/metro, you must not enter the train or leave the station, and should follow evacuation orders given by railway staff, the military and the police. Failure to comply with instructions can result in a heavy fine. === Emergency phone numbers === * '''Police''': 110 *'''Fire/Ambulance''': 119 The police and fire/ambulance offer service in English. For those who need Taiwanese governmental assistance in English, [https://www.immigration.gov.tw/5475/5478/6928/6940/ this website] has a 24-hour toll-free foreigner service hotline at 0800-024-111, which you may call for assistance. === Natural hazards === Taiwan often experiences '''[[Cyclones|typhoons]]''' (颱風) during the summer months and early fall, especially on the East Coast. Heavy monsoon rainfall also occurs during the summer. Hikers and mountaineers should be sure to consult weather reports before heading into the mountains. A major hazard following heavy rainfall in the mountains is falling rocks (土石流) caused by the softening of the earth and there are occasional reports of people being killed or injured by these. Taiwan is also on the Pacific Ring of Fire, which means that '''[[earthquakes]]''' are a common occurrence. Most earthquakes are barely noticeable, though the effect may be slightly amplified for those in higher buildings. While the local building codes are extremely strict, general precautions should still be observed during an earthquake, including opening the door to prevent it from being jammed, taking cover and checking for gas leaks afterwards. While most newer buildings have been built according to strict codes that enable them to withstand major earthquakes, some of the older buildings were not constructed to such high standards and therefore are vulnerable to serious damage or collapse in the case of a strong tremor. Taiwan's wild areas are home to a variety of '''poisonous snakes''', including the bamboo viper, Russel's viper, banded krait, coral snake, Chinese cobra, Taiwan habu, and the so-called "hundred pacer" (百步蛇). Precautions against snake bites include making plenty of noise as you hike, wearing long trousers and avoiding overgrown trails. Most snakes are scared of humans, so if you make noise you will give them time to get away. Walking quietly means that you may suddenly startle them around a corner when you appear, and trigger an attack. The Russel's viper, one of the most dangerous snakes in Taiwan, is an exception: it generally prefers to take a stand against threats. === Traffic === Local drivers have a well-deserved reputation for seeming reckless and downright immoral. It is possible (even normal) to obtain a driving license in Taiwan without ever having driven on the roads, and this may be a reason (along with the overcrowded roads) why courteous or defensive driving is definitely not the norm. The guiding principles seem to be that the right of way belongs to the larger vehicle, i.e. trucks have the right-of-way over cars, cars over motorcycles, motorcycles over people, etc. Despite traffic's chaotic appearance, it is viscerally intuitive to yield the right-of-way to a much larger vehicle barreling towards you. It is advisable to use slow and smooth movements over quick or sudden ones. Local drivers regularly cut in front of moving traffic into spaces that seem too small, try to change lanes regardless of the fact their destination is already full, etc. Be aware that during busy traffic (i.e., nearly always) two-lane roads will spontaneously become three-lane, an orange light will be interpreted as 'speed up', and the smallest moment's pause in oncoming traffic will result in ''everybody'' that's waiting trying to turn across it. Drivers routinely enter a junction when their exit is blocked, and are therefore frequently still there long after the lights change, blocking traffic traveling in other directions. Many motorcycle riders also have a tendency to zip through any space, no matter how tiny. Also be aware that motorcycles often travel through areas typically considered pedestrian-only spaces, like the night-markets. If you drive a car or a motorcycle, the obvious rule is that if someone turns in front of you, you should be the one to adapt. To avoid collisions, drivers need to be extremely vigilant for other vehicles creating hazards and always be willing to adjust speed or direction to accommodate. Do not expect drivers to yield way, or respect traffic lights in many areas, especially in central and southern Taiwan. Sounding the horn is the usual way a Taiwanese driver indicates that they do not intend to accommodate a driver trying to encroach on their lane, etc., and does not necessarily imply the anger or criticism, as it does in other countries. One bright side of Taiwan's chaotic traffic is that drivers tend to have an exceptional awareness of the spatial extents of their vehicle and maneuver well, so that even though it continuously looks like somebody is about to drive straight into you, it's relatively rare that they actually do so. Be extra careful when crossing the road, even to the extent of looking both ways on a one-way street. When crossing at a pedestrian crossing at a T-junction or crossroads, be aware that when the little green man lights up and you start crossing, motorists will still try to turn right, with or without a green feeder light. Even on roads where traffic is infrequent and the green light is in your favor, bike riders are still strongly advised to check the opposite lane. ===Homosexuality=== Taiwan is generally a safe destination for gay and lesbian travellers. There are no laws against homosexuality in Taiwan and unprovoked violence against gays and lesbians is almost unheard of. Same-sex marriage was legalised in Taiwan on 24 May 2019, making it the first Asian country to do so. Taiwan is also the first East Asian country to have enacted anti-discrimination laws on the basis of sexual orientation in the areas of education and employment. There is an annual gay pride event called Taiwan Pride. Taipei is home to a vibrant gay scene, and there are also gay bars in some of Taiwan's other cities like Taichung and Kaohsiung. Acceptance among the Taiwanese public tends to be measured, and homosexuality is still considered to be somewhat of a social taboo, particularly by the older generation. Openly displaying your sexual orientation in public is likely to draw stares and whispers from some people. Nevertheless, attitudes are changing and homosexuality tends to be more accepted by the younger people. ===Dogs=== They can be a problem in remote and rural regions, although they are far less numerous than in Thailand and Myanmar. If they get too close to you, picking up a stone or having a big stick is usually a sufficient deterrent. Taiwanese Aboriginals hold dogs in higher regard than Han Chinese do. Many Aboriginal communities have dogs freely running around their communities. == Stay healthy == ===Pollution=== Air pollution can be significant with the highest ratio of scooters per person in the world and a high west coast urban density. You can check air quality real time monitoring [https://airtw.epa.gov.tw/ENG/default.aspx on this page]. For reference the USA standard for fine particles (PM2.5) over 24 hours should be below 35&nbsp;µg/m³. It is a good idea to use a mask that can filter fine particles ([http://aqicn.org/mask/ how to choose a mask]), especially when traveling with the elderly or children. === Water === '''[[Water]]''' quality in Taiwan varies depending on location and time. According to the sole water company of Taiwan, tap water is in general safe to drink. However, it is advised that drinking water be boiled in order to eliminate residual chlorine and bacteria. Taiwan is prone to typhoons and earthquakes, which adversely affects water quality. Some buildings, particularly older ones, may have poorly maintained water towers and/or pipes, resulting in poor quality that is beyond the control of the water company. Depending on the severity, one might either filter the water in addition to boiling or avoid the taps altogether. Alternative options include buying bottled water or going to a "water station" where water is sold through a metered tap. Water from these sources is licensed to be safe for drinking. Bottled water can be bought in 24 hour convenience stores. Water quality in Kaohsiung used to be very poor. As a result, most people today use alternative sources. However, there is little evidence that this is necessary today as the quality has improved drastically. In addition, the mentioned alternative sources today are mostly filtered tap water and do not circumvent the historical source of contamination. === Healthcare === Medicines are available for minor ailments at drug stores. You may also find common drugs requiring a prescription in the west (like asthma inhalers and birth control pills) cheaply available from drug stores without a prescription. Taiwan has both Chinese physicians and Western doctors, both of which are taken equally seriously. However, as a foreigner, the assumption would generally be to direct you to a Western doctor. The quality of the hospitals in Taiwan is excellent and on par with, if not better than those found in the West. Taiwan's healthcare system is considered to be one of the best in the world. Legal residents with a National Health Card can avail themselves of the very convenient and efficient national health service, which covers treatment and medication using both Western and traditional Chinese medicine. However, this service is not available to short term visitors on tourist visas; nor does it cover major hospitalization expenses. Still, hospital visits and medicine in Taiwan tends to be far less expensive than in Western countries. Most Taiwanese doctors are able to communicate in at least basic English, and in fact, many of the top ones have obtained their medical qualifications in the US and are able to speak English fluently. However, you may find the nurses to be more of a challenge. === Hiking === Watch out for mosquito bites when hiking in the mountains. Especially in the summer, the humid and hot weather makes mosquitos very active. Most mosquito bites only cause skin irritation and itching, but in some areas of Taiwan it's possible to contract [[dengue fever]] or Japanese Encephalitis (though they are both rare in Taiwan). Mosquito/insect repellent spray can be found at convenience stores (such as 7-Eleven and FamilyMart) and local pharmacies. If you are bitten by mosquitos, apply a small amount of ointment for irritation relief. == Respect == The Taiwanese are generally a warm and polite people, having been strongly influenced by Confucianism. As Taiwanese culture places a strong emphasis on respect for elders, elderly visitors will find most Taiwanese to be very helpful and accommodating. Naming customs and modes of address are generally the same as in mainland China. See the [[China#Respect|Respect]] section of that article for details. === Culture === [[File:Pagode Kaohsiung amk.jpg|thumb|Pagoda in Kaohsiung]] Taiwan shares several cultural taboos/guidelines with other East Asian nations: * When giving and receiving business cards, always do it using ''both hands'' and with a slight bow of the head. Giving or receiving a business card with only one hand is very disrespectful. * Some Taiwanese are superstitious about anything connected with dying &ndash; unlucky things should never be mentioned. The number 4 (four, pronounced 'si') sounds like the word for death in Mandarin. * Do not write people's names in red. This again has connotations of death. When writing someone's English name, this is not a problem, but avoid writing Chinese names in red. * Do not whistle or ring a bell at night. This is an "invitation to ghosts". * Do not point at cemeteries or graves. This is disrespectful to the dead. * There are numerous taboos dictating that certain objects shouldn't be given to others, often because the word for that object sounds like another unfortunate word: ** Clocks. The phrase "to give a clock" ("song zhong"), in Mandarin, has the same sound as the word "to perform last rites." If you do give someone a clock, the recipient may give you a coin in return to dispel the curse. ** Shoes. Never ever offer shoes as a gift to old people, as it signifies sending them on their way to heaven. This is acceptable only if by mutual arrangement it is nominally sold, where the receiving party gives a small payment of about NT$10. ** Knives or sharp objects, as they are made for or could be used to hurt the person. ** Umbrellas, which in Mandarin sound the same as the word for "break up". Friends should therefore never give friends umbrellas. Instead, friends will euphemistically "rent" each other umbrellas for a tiny amount (NT$1, for example). * The Taiwanese are certainly not puritanical and enjoy a drink, especially the locally brewed Taiwan Beer and Kaoliang. However, Taiwan does not have a culture of heavy drinking like in Northern China and it is rare to see anyone drunk on the streets. While over indulging in alcohol is not a social taboo as such (and some people do so at weddings), it is considered a sign of lack of self-confidence and immaturity, and doing so certainly won't gain you any respect among Taiwanese friends. * You are expected to remove your shoes before entering a house. You will find some slippers to be worn by visitors next to the entrance door. It is likely to be the same ritual for bathrooms and balconies where you will be expected to remove your slippers to wear a pair of plastic sandals (though it is less shocking not to use the sandals by then). * As you will get along with Taiwanese people, you are very likely to receive small presents of any sort, such as drinks, food or little objects. These are a very convenient way to lubricate social relations for Taiwanese people, and are especially common between friends in their 20s. You should reciprocate any such presents with something similar, but it does not need to be immediate or specially tailored to that person (i.e., keep it simple). As a teacher you are not expected to offer anything in return, as long as the relationship stays formal. However, beware of the sometimes overly generous parents who can go as far as offering presents running in the thousands of NT$ and who will then expect you to take special care of their child (understand that their expectations will be considered fair in Taiwanese culture). * You are not expected to tip in hotels, restaurants and taxis, though bellhops may still expect NT$50 or so for carrying your luggage. * Much like the mainland Chinese, "saving face" is also a major value in Taiwanese culture. In general, you should avoid pointing out other people's mistakes in order to avoid causing major embarrassment and if you really have to, call the person to one side and do it in private, and try to do it in a polished manner. * If you should need to use a temple's washroom, bow to any statues of deities you see on the way whether or not you believe in them. While most people will not mind you using the temple's washroom, they expect you to treat their place of worship with respect. If you plan to offer gifts (such as simple fruits) to the statues of deities in the temple, it is expected that you wash the fruits and your hands prior to offering. In addition, upon entering and leaving a temple, do take and avoid stepping directly on the raised threshold: always try to step over it. You should also never point to the status of deities with your index finger; use your thumb or an up-facing open palm instead. * You will often see '''priority seats''' (博愛座) on public transportation in Taiwan. These are reserved for the elderly, disabled people, pregnant women and women carrying young children; do not sit in them unless one of those situations applies to you. * '''Cultural identity''' is a complex and sensitive issue in Taiwan. While most Taiwanese people are ethnically Chinese, many people, especially the youth, seek to distance themselves from China with a distinct Taiwanese identity, and will often emphasize their Japanese colonial heritage instead. === Religion === Most Taiwanese people follow a mix of traditional Chinese folk religions and Buddhism, and it is common to visit temples to offer prayers during important festivals or life events. That said, contemporary Taiwanese society is largely secular in daily life, and religion in general does not play a significant role in people's work or political affiliations. Nevertheless, you are still expected to dress and behave respectfully when visiting temples. As in other Asian countries, swastikas are commonly seen in Buddhist temples as a religious symbol. They emphatically do ''not'' represent Nazism or anti-Semitism. When visiting temples, be sure to enter using the right gate and exit using the left gate (facing inwards). The larger middle gate is traditionally reserved for deities and the Emperor of China. Also be sure to avoid pointing at the statues of deities with your index figure, as it is considered to be very disrespectful. Use your thumb or an up-facing open palm instead. The most popular traditional Chinese deity in Taiwan is Mazu, a Fujianese shamaness who is believed to have ascended to godhood and now protects sailors, as the Fujianese were largely a seafaring people. [[Christianity]] is the dominant religion among the Aboriginal people, with Presbyterianism and Roman Catholicism being the main denominations. There is also a significant Christian minority among the ethnic Chinese. Taiwanese people are generally tolerant of different religions, and people of all faiths can usually practice their religion without any major problems. The Falun Gong religion which is banned in mainland China is allowed in Taiwan, though attitudes towards them from the local Taiwanese people tend to be very mixed. === Politics === Taiwanese society is rather polarized by allegiance between supporters of the two major political blocs informally known as "Pan-Blue Coalition" and "Pan-Green Coalition", although there are large numbers of people who are either centrist or who don't care. To simplify a very complex situation, pan-blue supporters tend to be more favorable toward the idea of reunification or maintaining the status quo with China and pan-green supporters tend to be more favorable toward the idea of establishing a formally independent Taiwan state, among other differences. Although there are some correlations, it is highly unwise to assume anything about a particular person's political beliefs based on what you think you know about their background. Also, this very brief sketch of Taiwanese politics obscures a large amount of complexity. Traditionally, mainlanders, Aboriginal people, Hakka people and people from Kinmen and Matsu tended to be strongly pan-blue, while Taiwanese speakers from Central and Southern Taiwan tended to be strongly pan-green, though this distinction has largely disappeared among the younger generation, who are now overwhelmingly pro-independence. Unless you know your listener well, it is unwise to say anything (either positive or negative) about the current government, about historical figures in Taiwanese history, about Taiwan's international relations, or about relations with mainland China. Some political figures such as Sun Yat-sen (who is also popular in the PRC and with the Chinese government) and Chiang Ching-kuo are generally seen positively, but others (Chiang Kai-shek, Lee Teng-hui and Chen Shui-bian in particular) arouse very polarized feelings. Some Taiwanese will get very offended if you imply that Taiwan is part of China. Others will get very offended if you imply that Taiwan is not part of China. Referring to the PRC as "mainland China" (中國大陸 ''zhōngguó dàlù'') rather than simply China will tend not to offend anyone, as the term is generally used to exclude Hong Kong and Macau as well, making it less subjective. Referring to the Republic of China as a whole as "Taiwan Province" will draw a negative reaction from most Taiwanese. "Greater China" may be used in certain business contexts. Keep in mind, however, that there are so many subtleties and complexities here that if you are talking about these things, you've already wandered into a minefield. However, simply referring to the island as "Taiwan" is fine, as that is the name used by the locals, regardless of their political persuasion. Titles such as "Republic of China" are reserved for official matters only. People from Kinmen and Matsu do not identify as Taiwanese and instead identify as Kinmenese/Matsunese or simply Chinese. '''Relations with mainland China''', as well as the '''Hong Kong protests''', are sensitive issues; tread carefully on these topics. Despite the deep mistrust many Taiwanese have of the communist Chinese government, most locals bear little to no animosity towards individual mainland Chinese visitors. As long as you avoid political discussions and behave yourself properly, you should not run into any problems. ===Japanese occupation=== In contrast to other Asian countries, Taiwanese feelings towards the Japanese occupation (1895-1945) are generally positive, though there are exceptions. Some of the older people who lived through the period of Japanese rule often bear a certain degree of nostalgia for that time, although there was strong resistance, and massacres of both Chinese and Aboriginal people were carried out throughout the occupation. Nevertheless, many Taiwanese bear a sense of gratitude towards the Japanese for modernizing Taiwan, and many people who lived through both periods regard Japanese rule more favorably than the subsequent Kuomintang rule under Chiang Kai-shek. Japanese visitors can expect a particularly warm welcome as most Taiwanese admire Japanese culture, and modern Taiwanese culture continues to be heavily influenced by that of Japan. In particular, many shops and tourist attractions are based on a theme of colonial nostalgia. == Connect == ===Internet=== ====''iTaiwan''==== Introduced in the mid-2010s, this is Taiwan's free, convenient and widespread WiFi, and answer to today's mobile-dependent population. ''iTaiwan'' is available all over Taiwan, (according to marketing) in all the 7 biggest cities, but at least all over Taipei, Tainan and Taitung, at all railway/MRT stations (even at the smallest) and most bus stations all over the country, as well as in most tourist information centres. Where it is not available, there exist related WiFis that offer an ''iTaiwan'' login option, or there are other independent but free options like ''.1.Free Wi-Fi'' that require clicking an advertisement to get online. As a foreigner, you have to apply for access at a tourist information centre using your passport. The login is the passport number and the password is your birthday in ''YYYYMMDD'' form. At some free WiFi spots, like in railway stations, there is a power and USB plug to charge your electronic devices. ====SIM cards==== If you want an Internet connection to your smartphone, you can purchase a prepaid 4G unlimited data sim card from Chunghwa Telecom at a cost of NT$300 for 3 days, or NT$500 for 7 days (other periods are available as well). Just walk into any official Chunghwa Telecom shop to apply (also at all international airports). They need your passport and identification documents of your country of origin, driving license or identification card. Other providers in the market are Taiwan Mobile, FarEasTone, T-Star, and GT. Their pricing is largely the same for visitor plans as Chunghwa Telecom, however they do offer special promotions on their standard prepaid plans from time to time, and for travelers continuing elsewhere after Taiwan, FarEasTone and GT offer a lineup of reasonably priced "travel SIMs" for travel around Asia, Europe, and North America, while Taiwan Mobile offers flat-rate international data roaming on its standard prepaid SIMs. Importantly, if continuing on to mainland China later, these travel SIMs or Taiwan Mobile's roaming plans do not censor data there as a local SIM would. ====Restaurants, cafés, etc.==== Most in-house eateries, shopping centres, libraries and such have free WiFi for their customers available. ====Gaming cafés==== Not that relevant and widespread anymore, Internet cafés aka gaming cafés. These are often found on the first or second floor of buildings and equipped with very comfortable chairs and large screens. Although people do surf the Internet, most people primarily go there for a smooth experience of online gaming. Each hour of Internet access/game play is cheap, coming in at around NT$20. Some machines in the Internet cafés are coin operated. === Telephone === [[File:Payphones of Taiwan Fixed Network at THSR Taichung Station 20070105.jpg|thumb|Payphones in [[Taichung]]]] The standard prefix for international calls from Taiwan is 002, though some other companies may use alternative prefixes at lower rates. Check with your telecom operator for more details. Calls to mainland China, Hong Kong or Macau require international dialling. The country code for calls to Taiwan is +886. Most payphones work with telephone cards (電話卡) which are available at all convenience stores. Numbers Starting With 0800 are commercial toll-free numbers, just like the 1-800 numbers in North America. '''Mobile phone''' coverage is generally excellent in Taiwan, with the exception of some remote mountainous areas. Among the major providers are Chunghwa Telecom (中華電信), Taiwan Mobile (台灣大哥大), Far EasTone (遠傳電信) and Taiwan Star Telecom (台灣之星). Taiwan has both 3G (UMTS/W-CDMA 2100) and 4G (LTE) networks and inbound roaming agreements are in place between most international providers and at least one of these four (but check with your operator before departure). The last 2G networks were shut down in July 2017. The internationally popular messaging app Whatsapp is not popular in Taiwan. Most Taiwanese use the Japanese messaging app '''[https://line.me/en/ LINE]''' instead. === Media === Taiwan has a very free and liberal press. Taiwan's main newspapers are the Chinese-language ''[https://www.ltn.com.tw/ Liberty Times]'' (自由時報), ''[https://tw.appledaily.com/ Apple Daily]'' (蘋果日報), ''[https://www.chinatimes.com/ China Times]'' (中國時報) and ''[http://udn.com/ United Daily News]'' (聯合報). The ''[https://money.udn.com Economic Daily News]'' (經濟日報) and ''[https://ctee.com.tw/ Commercial Times]'' (工商時報) focus on financial and business news. The main English-language newspapers are ''[http://chinapost.nownews.com The China Post]'' and ''[http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/ Taipei Times]''. A third newspaper in English, ''[http://etaiwannews.com/ Taiwan News]'' (formerly ''China News''), is no longer available in print but continues to exist online.

Radio: * [http://www.icrt.com.tw ICRT] (short for "International Community Radio Taipei") is an English-language radio station available island-wide on FM 100. The programming consists mostly of popular music. There are news bulletins every hour on the hour 07:00–20:00 M–F and 10:00–18:00 on Sa. ===Printing=== Every 7-Eleven and Familymart has cloud printers available for printing documents and even pictures. But for the latter you might be better off with a professional shop. The instructions are in Chinese or English. Costs: NT$1 per document page, plus NT$1 processing fee. == Cope == ===Electricity=== For electrical sockets, Taiwan uses the same Type A two-pin and Type B three-pin electrical sockets as the United States. Electricity is supplied at 110 V at 60 Hz. === Embassies and foreign missions === ''See [[Taipei#Cope|Cope section]] in [[Taipei]] guide'' {{usablecountry}} {{isPartOf|East Asia}} {{geo|23.76|120.97|zoom=7}} sgqimkgc7fdad3ckg0jx2o82e8814ou 4495864 4495854 2022-08-05T21:55:55Z The dog2 35982 I think we should mention this, since you won't be able to get in or out by sea either. wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner | Formasa Station Banner.jpg}} {{COVID-19 box|Restrictions have been implemented throughout Taiwan due to a surge in COVID cases.

The island is officially known as and governed by the '''Republic of China''' (中華民國 ''Zhōnghuá Mínguó'') or '''ROC'''. Shaped roughly like a sweet potato, the nation is home to more than 23 million people and is one of the most densely populated places in the world. Besides its crowded cities, Taiwan is also known for steep mountains and lush forests. Although most of the population is ethnically Chinese, the legacy of Japanese colonial rule still pervades much of Taiwanese life, and there is also indigenous Austronesian culture to explore for the truly intrepid traveler. {{disclaimerbox|While the political status of Taiwan is a controversial and sensitive issue, from a traveler's point of view, Taiwan is under the ''de facto'' control of a different government from mainland China, and in practice operates as a separate country.

The island is also a center of Chinese-language pop culture with a substantial entertainment industry. Japanese and an increasing number of mainland Chinese enjoy taking short trips to Taiwan and enjoy its neighborly hospitality. Taiwan is home to some well-known international companies such as Acer, MSI, Asus, HTC, and Giant Bicycles, whose technologies are some of the most advanced in the world. === History === {{seealso|Imperial China|Chinese Revolutions|Japanese colonial empire|Pacific War}} Taiwan was first populated 30,000 years ago by an Australo-Melanesian group known as the Negrito. The Negrito were eventually assimilated and displaced 5,000 years ago by Proto-Austronesians who arrived from the east coast of mainland China, predominantly from what is now Fujian province. Due to linguistic diversity on Taiwan, these people have been suggested to be the ancestors of [[Austronesian]] speakers across Southeast Asia, the Pacific and even Madagascar. Recorded history began with the partial colonization of Taiwan by the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] and then the Portuguese in the early 17th century. (The old name of Taiwan, ''Formosa'', comes from the Portuguese ''Ilha Formosa'' for "beautiful island".) Han Chinese immigrants arrived in significant numbers with the onset of European trade. The Ming loyalist Koxinga defeated the Dutch garrisons and set up Taiwan as a rump Ming Empire with the hope of reconquering Qing China. His grandson surrendered to the Qing in the late 1600s. Although contact between China and Taiwan dates back thousands of years, it was not until larger numbers of ethnic Han residents arrived during the Qing dynasty that Taiwan was formally integrated into China as part of Hokkien (Fujian) province. It became a separate province in 1887. The years of Han Chinese settlement during the Qing Dynasty were marred by conflict between the Han settlers and the Aboriginal people, between the Minnan and Hakka speakers among the Han settlers, and between the [[Quanzhou]] and [[Zhangzhou]] immigrants among the Minnan speakers. All these resulted in Minnan speakers largely occupying the fertile lowlands along the coast, the Hakkas being forced to occupy the middle elevations in the mountains, and the Aboriginal people being forced to higher elevations in the mountains and the more typhoon-prone east coast. Defeated by the Japanese, the Qing Empire ceded Taiwan to [[Japan]] under the terms of the treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895. Japan ruled the island until the end of World War II in 1945, and exerted profound influences on its development. The island's entertainment and pop culture was and still is heavily influenced by that of Japan. Much of the infrastructure built by the Japanese can still be seen on the island, and has been in fact continuously used up to the present day (e.g. railroad crossing gates, administrative buildings, and the old port at Kaohsiung). During [[Pacific War|World War II]], many Taiwanese, both Aboriginal and Han Chinese, served in the Imperial Japanese Army, many of whom have been enshrined in the controversial [[Tokyo/Chiyoda#Yasukini Shrine|Yasukuni Shrine]] in [[Tokyo]]. Like their counterparts in [[Korea]] and other occupied territories, many Taiwanese women were forced to serve as "comfort women" (i.e. sex slaves) in Japanese military brothels. Upon the resumption of Chinese rule, the ''Kuomintang'' (KMT, 國民黨) under Chiang Kai-shek, also known as the Nationalists, was suspicious of many of the locals in Taiwan, due to the fact that many Taiwanese had served in the Japanese military and civil service during World War II. Moreover, as the Japanese had sought to turn Taiwan into a model colony, despite having been discriminated against, many locals had seen their standards of living improve under Japanese rule, and were disillusioned by the corruption and incompetence that plagued the Kuomintang at that time. Tensions between the new Kuomintang government and the locals culminated in the '''228 incident''' on 28th February 1947, when many locals revolted against Chinese rule, and the Kuomintang responded with a brutal crackdown, resulting in thousands of people being killed, and purging many of the Japanese-educated intellectuals in the process. Taiwan would also be placed under martial law following the incident, which would only be lifted in 1987. Discussion of the incident was banned under the years of martial law, but was brought back to the fore once again following democratization in the 1990s, and the incident remains a key impetus behind the Taiwan independence movement to this day. [[File:Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in 2002.jpg|thumb|350px|National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall]] In the early 20th century, the Nationalists and Communists fought a major bloody civil war in mainland China. Although the two sides were briefly united against Japan during World War II, they quickly began fighting again after the war was over. Eventually, the Communists were victorious in 1949. The Nationalist government, remnants of their army, and hundreds of thousands of supporters then fled to Taiwan, though they would also retain control of several offshore islands of Fujian. From Taipei, they continued to assert their right as the sole legitimate government of all China. Initially very repressive, the government began to loosen control in its fourth decade under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek's son, Chiang Ching-kuo. Taiwan also experienced rapid economic growth and modernisation under the leadership of Chiang Ching-kuo, becoming one of the world's richest and most modern economies and earning it a place as one of the East Asian Tigers. Today, Taiwan is generally regarded as a modern, developed economy, and still remains a leader in consumer electronics that is home to well-known computer brands such as Acer, Asus, Garmin, Gigabyte and HTC. Democratization began in earnest through the 1980s and 1990s, culminating with the first direct presidential elections in 1996, and the first peaceful transition of power between two political parties in 2000. Taiwanese politics remain dominated by the issue of relations between Taiwan and the [[China|People's Republic of China]], which still claims Taiwan as a "renegade province" and regularly threatens military action if Taiwan attempts to break away from the awkward '''One China''' status quo, whereby both sides agree that there is only one Chinese nation, but disagree on whether that one nation should be governed by the PRC or the ROC. To summarize a ''very'' complex situation, the '''Pan-Blue''' (泛藍) group spearheaded by the KMT supports eventual unification with the mainland when the political climate is right, while the '''Pan-Green''' (泛綠) group led by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) supports eventual formal independence under the name "Republic of Taiwan". The split extends down to trivial issues like Chinese romanization &mdash; the KMT prefers the mainland's ''Hanyu pinyin'', the DPP prefers a Taiwan-made variant called ''Tongyong pinyin'' &mdash; and political demonstrations and rallies, always turbulent, on occasion even turn violent. In 2014, the '''Sunflower Movement''' was formed in opposition to deepening trade relations between Taiwan and mainland China that was being pursued by the then-KMT government. Although mainland China has been Taiwan's most important trading partner since 2008, many Taiwanese were fearful that deepening economic ties would lead to the Chinese Communist Party using this economic dependence to coerce democratic Taiwan into unifying with mainland China under communist rule. Things came to a head when student protesters stormed the Legislative Yuan on 18 March 2014, forcing the government to abandon ratification of a recently-signed trade deal with mainland China, marking the first time the Taiwanese legislature had been successfully occupied by civilian protesters. The movement is today considered a watershed moment in Taiwanese political history, as it led to the political awakening of much of the formerly apolitical younger generation, galvanized a distinct Taiwanese identity, and united most of the younger generation behind the pro-independence camp. === Government and politics === Taiwan is a presidential republic modelled after the American system of government. The President is popularly elected every four years for up to two terms, and is the head of state. The President has the sole authority to appoint members the executive branch, known as the '''Executive Yuan''', whose leader, known as the Premier, serves as the head of government. The legislative branch is known as the '''Legislative Yuan''', often referred to as the "Parliament", which is elected by the people every four years in parallel with the presidential elections. Taiwan is a vibrant democracy known for its exceptionally dramatic parliamentary sessions, with physical fights between legislators on the floor being a regular occurrence. The other branches of government are the '''Judicial Yuan''', which tops the judiciary branch, the '''Examination Yuan''', which administers civil service examinations, and the '''Control Yuan''', which is responsible for auditing the government's finances. The two main parties in Taiwanese politics are the '''Kuomintang''' (KMT) and the '''Democratic Progressive Party''' (DPP). Generally speaking, the KMT is more socially conservative, and favors friendlier ties with China, while the DPP is more socially liberal, and favors closer ties with Japan and the United States, as well as taking a tougher stance against China. While the older generation is politically split, the younger generation is overwhelmingly pro-DPP. === People === Taiwan was originally populated by indigenous peoples that spoke various Austronesian languages, which are related to Malay, Tagalog and Indonesian. Today the remaining indigenous peoples make up only about 2% of the population, while the other 98% are considered ethnically Han Chinese. The ethnically Han Chinese are further split into Taiwanese, who make up about 84% of the population and whose ancestors migrated to Taiwan during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and mainlanders, who make up about 14% of the population and whose families fled to Taiwan from the mainland after the communist takeover of China in 1949. Among the Taiwanese group, Hoklo (Minnan) speakers form the majority, which is about 70% of the population, while the remaining 14% are largely Hakka speakers. In modern times, Taiwan is also home to immigrants from elsewhere, especially other Asian countries such as Malaysia (most of whom are ethnically Chinese), Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia. The post-1949 Chinese immigrants come from every province and include many non-Han residents. === Culture === Taiwanese culture is largely based on traditional Chinese culture, particularly that of [[Fujian]] province, because most Taiwanese are Han Chinese whose ancestors migrated to Taiwan from that region. However, in the 20th century, Taiwanese culture diverged from that of mainland China. Substantial Japanese influences can be seen in modern Taiwanese culture because of 50 years of Japanese rule, and this can be seen in its cuisine and in its pop culture. In addition, the Japanese introduced baseball and hot-spring bathing to Taiwan, and these remain popular pastimes for the Taiwanese to this day. As Taiwan was spared from the Cultural Revolution, the Taiwanese have also retained some elements of traditional Chinese culture that have been lost in mainland China. Indigenous Austronesian or "Formosan" culture has greatly suffered under multiple different waves of colonial rule. It is having a resurgence today but many aspects of it have been lost forever which is evident in how the majority of the Formosan languages are extinct or moribund. However, efforts are being made to revive the culture through the introduction of the Aboriginal languages into the school curriculum. Numerous indigenous Taiwanese have had successful careers in the entertainment industry, perhaps the most famous example being the singer Kulilay Amit, better known by her Chinese name Chang Huei-mei, who is of Puyuma ethnicity. === Climate === [[File:Footbridge, Taroko 01.jpg|thumb|240px|Taroko Gorge suspension bridge]] Lowland Taiwan has a marine tropical climate during the summer, with sweltering, humid weather (above 30&nbsp;°C, 86&nbsp;°F) from Jun-Sep. In the winter the weather is influenced by the nearby continent, and in the northern areas the temperature can go as low as 8&nbsp;°C at night. The best time of year to visit is from Oct-Dec, although even then occasional typhoons can spoil the fun. Spring is also nice, although it rains more than during autumn. During the typhoon season, the east coast bears the brunt of the damage as it is facing the Pacific Ocean. In the mountainous regions you will encounter more temperate conditions. Rapid weather change can endanger unprepared visitors, so advice on proper preparation should be obtained before visiting those areas. In fact, it snows every year on Taiwan's highest mountains and occasionally even on mountains like Alishan. === Taiwanese calendar === The ''Minguo'' (民國, ROC) calendar, counting years from the establishment of the ROC (1911), is commonly used in Taiwan. To convert a ''Minguo'' date to A.D., just add 1911. {{CURRENTYEAR}} is Minguo {{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}−1911}}. Months and days are according to the standard Gregorian calendar for almost everything except traditional holidays and religious matters, which use the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. === Festivals === {{CNYdates}} As Taiwan is majority Han Chinese, traditional Chinese festivals are celebrated in Taiwan. Among the most notable are: *'''Chinese New Year''' (春節). This is the most important festival for the Taiwanese and many shops and restaurants close on the first three days so it is not an ideal time to visit. However, the days leading up to the festival and the fourth to fifteenth days are ideal for soaking up the atmosphere and listening to Chinese New Year songs. *'''Tomb Sweeping Day''' (Ching Ming Festival, 清明節). This is when many Taiwanese pay respects at their ancestors' graves. *'''Dragon Boat Festival''' (端午節). This festival honors Qu Yuan, a patriotic official from the state of Chu during the Warring States period of Chinese history who committed suicide by jumping into a river when Chu was conquered by Qin. To prevent the fishes from eating his body, villagers threw rice dumplings into the river to feed the fishes and rowed dragon boats with drums being beaten on them to scare away the fishes. Since then, dragon boat racing has been carried out on this day and rice dumplings are also eaten. *'''Hungry Ghost Festival''' (Ghost Month, 中元節). This festival runs throughout the seventh month of the Chinese calendar. It is believed that the gates of hell open during this period and hungry ghosts are allowed to roam freely into our world. In order to appease the ghosts and prevent misfortune, many Taiwanese offer food and burn joss paper for them. In addition, traditional Chinese performances such as Chinese opera and puppet shows are held to appease these wandering spirits. *'''Mid-Autumn Festival''' (Moon Festival, 中秋節). Legend has it that on this day, a woman known as Chang E swallowed some divine pills to prevent her power hungry husband from becoming immortal. Afraid of being killed by her husband, she fled to the moon and it is believed that the moon shines brightest on this day. This is when many lanterns are put up for decoration in various parks and shops, which is quite a beautiful sight. Mooncakes are also eaten on this day so it would be an ideal time to try some. Many Taiwanese have barbecue with family or friends as part of the celebration. === Terrain === [[File:Jiuwanshibaguai.JPG|thumb|Cliffs meet the eastern coast of Taiwan, Hualien County]] Taiwan is largely mountainous with a chain of mountains running from north to south at the centre of the island. The west coast is largely plains and unsurprisingly is where most of the population is concentrated, and is where all the larger cities like [[Taichung]] and [[Kaohsiung]] are located. The east coast also has some plains but they are more sparsely populated due to the higher typhoon risk, but is also home to the cities of [[Hualien]] and [[Taitung]] with significant populations. === Sports === Baseball was brought to Taiwan by the Japanese during the colonial period. Its popularity rose greatly when the Taiwanese baseball team finished second in the Japanese national championships. Today, baseball retains a strong following and remains by far the most popular spectator sport in Taiwan. Several Taiwanese players have also gone on to successful careers in the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) and Japanese Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), and the Taiwanese national team is considered to be one of the strongest in the world. Besides baseball, basketball also has a sizeable following in Taiwan and is quite popular among teenagers. When classes are over, the basketball courts inside schools are not only open to students but also the public. Billiards<!--WHICH VARIANT(S)--> is another popular sport in Taiwan. It's easy to find billiard rooms throughout the country and there are also many championship-winning players in Taiwan, most of whom started training when they were still teens. Other sports which are popular include Taekwondo, table tennis and golf. In international sporting competitions, such as the Olympic Games, Taiwan is called "Chinese Taipei" for political reasons. == Talk == {{infobox|You say Zhongshan, I say Chungshan...|The romanization of Chinese used in Taiwan is not standardized. Most older place names and personal names are derived from a simplified version of Wade-Giles. The government established Hanyu Pinyin (the same system used in the mainland and the international standard) as the official system in 2009, but most local governments that did not already use the system have not switched over, and highway signs are only being gradually changed from the Tongyong Pinyin system, leading to much inconsistency. Some local governments, such as that of Taipei and Taichung, have already converted their street signs to Hanyu Pinyin and New Taipei is implementing the switch to Hanyu Pinyin. However, there are still street signs posted by city governments next to signs installed by the national government having different romanization conventions, as is the case for Kaohsiung, where Tongyong Pinyin, not Hanyu Pinyin, is the local standard. For example, Zhongshan, Chungshan, Jungshan and Jhongshan can easily refer to the same Chinese name. This article attempts to use the romanizations most commonly used ''in'' Taiwan (on street signs, buses, tourist maps, etc.) People know romanisation as 'Roma-Pinyin' (Luoma-Pinyin).}} Taiwan's official languages are four varieties of Chinese — '''[[Chinese phrasebook - Traditional|Mandarin]]''', '''[[Minnan phrasebook|Taiwanese]]''' (a dialect of Minnan), '''[[Hakka phrasebook|Hakka]]''', and '''[[Fuzhou dialect phrasebook|Matsu dialect]]''' — as well as the '''Aboriginal Austronesian languages''' and '''Taiwan Sign Language'''. Mandarin is the ''lingua franca'', but Taiwanese is the mother tongue of about 70% of the population. In the North where there is a large concentration of so-called "mainlanders" (those whose families came to Taiwan from mainland China in the 1940s as refugees of the Chinese Civil War), most people speak Mandarin as their primary language (although Taiwanese is spoken in abundance), but in the South of the island, Taiwanese is far more common. Hakka is the main language at the middle elevations of the mountainous parts of Taoyuan, Hsinchu and Miaoli. Mandarin, Taiwanese and Hakka are all tonal languages, and are difficult for most foreigners to master. Aboriginal languages can mostly be heard on the East Coast and its offshore islands, as well as at higher elevations in the mountains. The Matsu dialect is a variant of the Fuzhou dialect (also known as ''Hokchiu'' or ''Foochow''), and is almost exclusively concentrated in the [[Matsu]] islands located close to [[Fuzhou]] in mainland China. Chinese is written using '''Chinese characters''' (漢字, ''hànzì'', lit. "Han characters"). Unlike an alphabet that represents individual sounds without any inherent meaning, each Chinese character represents a meaningful syllable: a specific word or part of a word. Although they look impenetrable at first, there is some method to the madness: most characters are composed from base components combined with other characters (often giving clues to both pronunciation and general meaning). The same characters are used in Japan and Korea with usually similar meanings, albeit different pronunciations. Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and many overseas Chinese still use the '''traditional characters''', whereas since the 1950s mainland China has used simplified characters, such as <span lang="zh-Hans">龟</span> instead of <span lang="zh-Hant">龜</span>. Cursive forms of Chinese characters, often used for effect in logos, range from "looks familiar if you squint" to "impenetrable scribbles". There are multiple ways of romanizing Mandarin Chinese, but '''pinyin''' (漢語拼音 ''hànyǔ pīnyīn'') is the most useful for a visitor to learn. It's a fairly logical system, although it has a few idiosyncrasies, including using some letters in ways that are different from English (such as ''q'' which is similar to English "ch" and ''x'' which is like English "sh"). (However, people in Taiwan are more familiar with a phonetic alphabet called Zhuyin (注音 ''zhùyīn'', written using Zhuyin as ㄓㄨˋ　ㄧㄣ), commonly known in English as '''bopomofo''' (named after the first four letters, ㄅㄆㄇㄈ), which is used for language education and typing.) All dialects of Chinese are also '''tonal''', meaning each syllable has to be pronounced with the correct tone &mdash; high, rising, falling-rising, falling, or neutral &mdash; to be understood; Mandarin tones are marked in pinyin using diacritics that graphically mimic the tones patterns (as in ''mā'', ''má'', ''mǎ'', ''mà'', and ''ma''). With just a few hours of practice, you can learn to pronounce Mandarin words accurately using pinyin. However, as Chinese has many homophones, pinyin is useful for pronunciation but not practical for communicating meaning; for something like a street address, you need to use Chinese characters. Although Chinese is ''written'' nearly the same across the world, '''spoken Chinese''' has a huge array of '''dialects'''. Verbally, Chinese dialects are as different from each other as English and Dutch, or French and Italian &mdash; related, but not mutually intelligible. Two people who speak different Chinese dialects would read and write the same, but they would pronounce the written text differently, and couldn't carry on a spoken conversation with each other. Although standard Mandarin in Taiwan is nearly identical to standard Mandarin in mainland China (with differences mostly in technical and translated terms invented post-1949), most people in practice speak a distinctly accented version known as Taiwanese Mandarin. For example, Taiwanese Mandarin tends to not differentiate between the "S" and "Sh" or the "f" and "h" sounds in Mandarin. All people schooled after 1945 are generally fluent in Mandarin, though older people from rural areas often have a very thick accent. Mandarin is fairly popular with young people. Some elderly people do not speak Mandarin as they were schooled in Japanese or not at all. Most Taiwanese are very accepting of foreigners and react with curiosity and admiration for trying the local tongue. Generally, most people in Taiwan converse using a combination of Mandarin and Taiwanese by code-switching. The Taiwanese dialect is a variant of Minnan which is similar to the dialect spoken across the Taiwan Strait in [[South Fujian]]. Unlike in South Fujian, Taiwanese Minnan has some loan words from Japanese as a result of 50 years of Japanese colonization. Taiwanese Minnan and [[Xiamen]] Minnan are both mixtures of the [[Zhangzhou]] and [[Quanzhou]] accents, so as a result, Taiwanese Minnan sounds very similar to Xiamen Minnan. There is also dialectal variation in Taiwanese between different parts of the island; the [[Tainan]] dialect is generally considered to be the prestige dialect. All public announcements in the transportation system are made in Mandarin, Taiwanese and Hakka, with the exception of the [[Matsu]] islands, where announcements are made in Mandarin and the local Matsu dialect. Especially in Taipei, younger people generally speak a basic conversational level of '''English'''. The children often understand more English than their parents, especially with the emphasis on English language education today, and English being a compulsory subject in Taiwanese schools. However, attempts to speak Mandarin or Taiwanese will be met with beaming smiles and encouragement, by and large. Quite a few people, especially in Taipei, are proficient in '''[[Japanese phrasebook|Japanese]]''' due to the high number of Japanese visitors. Staff for tourist attractions such as the Taipei 101, museums, hotels, popular restaurants and airport shops speak Japanese in addition to English, Mandarin and other local languages. In fact, if you are a visitor of East Asian descent who cannot understand Chinese, when a worker realizes this he or she may try speaking to you in Japanese before trying English. There has been an increasing usage of '''[[Korean phrasebook|Korean]]''' by tourism boards due to the large number of Korean people visiting Taiwan. Thus, there are many signs across Taiwan written in Korean. An enthusiasm for Korean-language education due to the influence of Korean pop culture is also gaining momentum. Due to the increasing number of Southeast Asian tourists visiting Taiwan, '''[[Thai phrasebook|Thai]]''', '''[[Vietnamese phrasebook|Vietnamese]]''' and '''[[Indonesian phrasebook|Indonesian]]''' are spoken by some tourist personnel. '''Taiwan Sign Language''' is the language of the deaf community. It has partial mutual intelligibility with Japanese Sign Language and Korean Sign Language, but not with Chinese Sign Language or Hong Kong Sign Language. == Get in == {{COVID-19 box|Taiwan has tightened entry restrictions in response to the spread of COVID-19, in particular the Delta variant of the virus.

Fares are cheaper for Taiwan/ROC citizens ([http://www.taiwancsf.com/content.aspx?sn=158 advance]/[http://www.taiwancsf.com/content.aspx?sn=159 pier]. == Get around == ===''IC Cards''=== [[Taipei]]'s '''[http://www.easycard.com.tw/ EasyCard]''' (悠遊卡 Yōuyóukǎ) and [[Kaohsiung]]'s '''[https://www.i-pass.com.tw/EN/ iPass]''' (一卡通) are the main public transportation smart and electronic payment cards, and replace the need to buy separate tickets for most national, regional and city buses, metro (MRT), as well as train services (TRA) all over Taiwan, and they can be used at retail establishments that display the respective sign, like convenient stores (7eleven, Family Mart), parking lots and some restaurants and shops. Though originally accepted only in their respective cities, the two cards can now be used interchangeably at most (but not all) locations. Besides saving you the hassle of having proper change ready for your ticket, it mostly always gives discount on the chosen journeys. For instance, the price for any train (TRA) is calculated based on the price of a local train and a 10% discount. Thus, you can even take the faster trains with it (but not THSR) like the Tzu-Chiang limited express. The only disadvantage is that you will not have a reserved seat, which however is not an issue except on Saturday morning/noon and Sunday afternoon. The EasyCard also provides discounts on [[Taipei#Get around|Taipei's public transportation network]], and likewise with the iPass on Kaohsiung's network. The EasyCard can be bought at the airport, in any of stations of Taipei MRT and most convenient stores. As of Dec 2019 the price was NT$500, consisting of a non-refundable deposit of NT$100 and NT$400 in electronic cash. If you want to add money onto the card, you can do so in MRT stations (including Kaohsiung MRT), TRA stations, and the common convenient stores. The card can hold amounts up to NT$5,000. Student IC cards with even deeper discounts are also available for purchase, but only upon request at a desk and a recognised student ID like ISIC. Whether the card needs to be tapped only once or twice on city buses (on entry or on exit, see [[#By bus|below]]) depends on which city you are in and sometimes how far you travel. Do not forget to tap twice (on entry '''and''' exit) where it is necessary, especially on regional and national buses outside of cities (and some unstaffed railway stations). Otherwise, your card will be blocked with "incomplete journey" (for all bus companies), and you will have to settle this issue with the responsible bus company. This can be a problem, because bus companies only serve certain regions. When leaving that region, e.g. by train, which is still possible with a (bus) locked card, no-one will be willing to unlock your card, even though also other bus companies are able to do so. Be insistent and with the help of the tourist information centre tell them that you cannot go back to fix the problem, or that you tried and they did not solve the issue even though they told you so. Make sure that it is really unlocked (with a different bus company) and do not just trust them &ndash; it seems some cannot operate their machines properly. If you forget to tap the second time, you will only be charged a small initial fee instead of the whole journey, but unless you are at the end of your vacation to Taiwan or possess a second card, you should avoid having your card blocked. That said, most bus drivers and railway staff pay close attention to the tapping, so it is hard to miss. It costs NT$14 to get in and out of the same railway station within an hour, in case you instead decide to take the bus. At the end of your travel, do not put too much money onto your card, because it can only be given back and cashed-out at certain locations, like some THSR stations. In addition to the NT$100 purchase fee, there is a NT$20 fee for returning the card within 3 months. === By train === [[File:THSR 700T train at Taoyuan Station 20070728.jpg|thumb|Taiwan High Speed train]] [[File:TaiwanHighSpeedRail Route en.gif|thumb|Map of Taiwan High Speed Rail; all stations shown are operational]] Taiwan's train system is excellent, with stops in all major cities. Train stations are often in the centers of most cities and towns and serve as a convenient hub for most types of transportation. In addition, the train system allows you to bypass the highways, which can become extremely crowded on weekends and national holidays. The main downside is the lack of cross-island routes between the East Coast and West Coast; for instance, there is no rail line from Taichung to Hualien, so you will have to either drive, fly, or take a major detour via Taipei or Kaohsiung. ====THSR==== The new train backbone is [http://www.thsrc.com.tw/en/?lc=en '''Taiwan High Speed Rail'''] (HSR, 高鐵 ''gāotiě'') , a [[high speed train]] based on Japanese ''Shinkansen'' technology that covers the {{km|345}} route on the West Coast from [[Taipei]] to Zuoying ([[Kaohsiung]]) in 90 min. Other stops on the route are [[Banqiao]], [[Taoyuan]], [[Hsinchu]], [[Taichung]], [[Chiayi]] and [[Tainan]], but many THSR stations have been built a fair distance from the cities they serve (e.g. a taxi from downtown Tainan costs up to NT$400, but there's a free shuttle bus). Taipei, Banciao, Taoyuan, Taichung and Kaohsiung (Zuoying) stations are connected with metro. Taichung station is built next to a railway station, convenient to transfer to the city center. Hsinchu and Tainan stations are connected to the city center with branch railway lines. Other stations can only be reached by bus. A one way ticket from Taipei to Kaohsiung costs NT$1,630 in economy or NT$2,140 in business class, but economy seats have plush seats and ample legroom, so there's little reason to pay extra, though business class passengers are offered a complementary drink and snack. All signage and announcements are in English as well, making navigation a snap. Bookings are accepted online and via phone up to two weeks in advance at +886-2-6626-8000 (English spoken), with payment required only when you pick up the tickets. Credit cards are accepted. Bookings can be easily made by internet, and you can pay online or pay and pick up your tickets at almost every FamilyMart and 7-Eleven. You can also avoid the queues for long distance tickets at major stations by buying your tickets from the automated ticket machines. The English prompts on the automated machines are hard to spot but they are present,usually in the top left corner of the screen. The stations and platforms are wheelchair-friendly and all trains include a wheelchair-accessible car (wider doors, ample space, accessible bathroom). The Official English guide for online reservations distinguishes between "senior or disabled tickets" and "handicap-friendly seats"; while it's possible to buy a ticket for the former online ("correct passenger ID" required), a ticket for the latter has to be reserved by calling the ticketing office on the phone. Early Bird tickets are sold from 28 days before the day, and the discount to is up to 35% off. All high-speed trains consist of two seating classes; '''economy class''' and '''business class'''. Although economy class is already clean and comfortable by international standards, paying extra for business class snags you a slightly wider seat, as well as a complimentary drink and snack. All train announcements are made in Mandarin, Taiwanese, Hakka and English. =====Passes===== The Taiwan High Speed Rail issues a '''[https://pass.thsrc.com.tw/oatsb2c/home.do?G=3 THSR Pass]''' for use on the high speed rail trains. These cost NT$2,400 for a regular 3-day pass, or NT$3,200 for a flexible 3-day pass. While a regular 3-day pass must be used in 3 consecutive days, the 3 days in a flexible 3-day pass may be spread out over any 7-day period. The 5-day joint passes allow for unlimited rides on the high speed rail for 2 days within a 5 day period, and unlimited rides on TRA lines within the same 5-day period. These cost NT$2,800 for a standard pass, which does not allow you to ride on Tzu-Chiang trains, and NT$3,600 for an express pass, which allows you to ride on all TRA lines. The THSR passes may only be used by foreigners who are in Taiwan on tourist visas (or visa exemptions), and must be purchased from travel agents overseas ''before'' you arrive in Taiwan. ====TRA==== Mainline trains are run by the separate [http://www.railway.gov.tw/en/index/index.aspx '''Taiwan Railway Administration'''] (TRA, 台鐵) , whose services are generally efficient and reliable. Reserving tickets well in advance is recommended when traveling with the train on weekends, especially for long distance travel. Slower (but more frequent) commuter trains without reserved seating are also available. Train timetables and [http://railway.hinet.net/net_eng.htm online booking] (up to 2 weeks in advance) are available on the TRA website for 24 hours. Booking and payment can be made online. You can also pay for the tickets you reserved at your local train station or post office to actually receive it. You can also buy the tickets of TRA in convenient stores now (you can reserve first and take the tickets in convenient stores). The way to buy tickets is same to high speed rail's. Children under 115&nbsp;cm (45&nbsp;in) height go free, and taller kids shorter than 150&nbsp;cm (59&nbsp;in) and under 12 years of age get half-price tickets. If you get return tickets there is a small discount depending upon travel distance. There are also vending machines at the larger stations. The fastest train is Tzu-Chiang (limited express), and the slowest is Pingkuai (Ordinary/Express). There is often little to choose between prices and destination times for adjacent train classes, but the gap can be quite large between the fastest and the slowest. * '''Tze-Chiang''' (自強 ''zìqiáng''): The fastest (and most expensive). Assigned seating. Non-reserved (standing) tickets are supposedly sold at full price, but the boarding is possible with an Easycard for local train prices. There are '''Taroko Express''' (太魯閣號 ''Tàilǔgé Hào'') and '''Puyuma''' (普悠瑪號 ''Pǔyōumǎ Hào'') runnning from Taipei to Hualien, which only sell reserved tickets. * '''Chu-Kuang''' (莒光 ''júguāng''): Second fastest. Assigned seating. In western Taiwan, it is as slow as a local train; in eastern Taiwan, it is still a fast, convenient train. * '''local train''' (區間 ''qūjiān'') : Short to medium distance commuter train, stops at all stations. No assigned seating. There are a few local-fast train, which don't stop at every station. * '''Express / Ordinary''' (普通 ''pǔtōng''): Stops at all stations, no air conditioning, most inexpensive. No assigned seating. Some Express trains (the light blue ones running on West Trunk Line) are air-conditioned while others (dark blue ones) are not equipped with air conditioners. Only on Saturday morning/noon and Sunday afternoon faster trains are packed, and it might make sense to buy a more expensive reserve-seat ticket, if you do not want to stand for 3 hr, depending on your destination. Otherwise, you can freely use the EasyCard for fast connections without worrying (except for THSR). For travel to nearby cities, you can travel on local commuter trains. These arrive very frequently (about once every ten to fifteen minutes). In addition, "standing tickets" may be purchased on trains with assigned seating that have no available seats. Standing tickets are 80% the original ticket price and may be useful for last-minute travellers. However, you will be required to stand for the duration of your trip if there are no free seats. Station announcements are made in Mandarin, Taiwanese, Hakka, and English. A popular holdover from the Japanese colonial era is the '''railway bento''' tradition, known in Taiwan as the '''TR Bento''' (臺鐵便當 ''tái tiě biàn dàng''). These are sold at most major TRA stations, and on board most long distance TRA trains. Both meat and vegetarian options are available, with the pork chop bento being particularly famous and iconic. =====Passes===== Similar to Japan and South Korea, Taiwan also offers several rail passes to foreign tourists for unlimited train travel within a stipulated period. The '''[https://tip.railway.gov.tw/tra-tip-web/tip/tip003/tip311/view10 TR Pass]''' can be used by foreigners for unlimited travel on TRA lines for a stipulated period of time. The TR Pass can be bought at railway stations in Taiwan. The TR pass also allows you to reserve seats for free on trains that have assigned seating. '''The TR pass is not valid on the Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR)''' as those trains are not run by the TRA. {| class="wikitable" |+Ticket types/prices (NT$) |- |colspan="3" style="text-align: center" | '''3 Days''' |colspan="3" style="text-align: center" | '''5 Days''' |- | full price || reduced price || 4-person-group || full price || reduced price || 4-person-group |- | 1800 || 900 || 4200 || 2500 || 1250 || 7000 |} : :Note: The 4-person-group ticket must be used by four people simultaneously. You '''cannot''' take the high-speed rail, since it is not operated by the TRA. Validity has to be for consecutive days. Reduced price applies to children (age 7-12), senior citizens (age 65+) and disabled people. * TR Pass Student: The student version of the TR Pass is significantly cheaper than the general version, though unlike the general version, it is ''not'' valid for use on Tzu-Chiang limited express trains, and also cannot be used to ride in train cars with reserved seating. In order to qualify for this pass, you will need to show your passport and a valid International Student Identity Card (ISIC) Ticket types and prices: * 5-day ticket: NT$599 * 7-day ticket: NT$799 * 10-day ticket: NT$1,098 ===By bus=== Taiwan has an extensive bus network, run mostly by private bus companies. Travelling by bus is generally cheaper than by train, especially for long-distance trips. However, on holidays, travel time may be much longer and tickets are more likely to be sold out. There are two categories: intercity buses (客運) and local buses (公車). Taiwan Tourist Shuttle is a set of distinctly branded bus routes (some intercity, some local) that serve tourist sites, and are generally easier to use than regular routes. The official website offers route maps, timetables and recommended itineraries, but is somewhat confusing to navigate. There is, however, a toll-free number for inquiries. There are also information desks at major transport hubs. [[File:Taipei Bus 1073 stop board.jpg|thumb|Bus stop in Taipei]] Many cities have local buses. They are managed by local governments, therefore information can generally be found on the websites of the respective transportation bureaus. Drivers are usually happy to help, but may not speak English. Route maps at bus stops are mostly in Chinese. For visitors, it may be helpful to have your hotel or accommodation host suggest some routes for you and circle your destination on a map, then show it to the bus driver to make sure you're on the right bus. Announcements are in English, but hopefully the driver will remember to tell you when to get off in case you miss it. Most buses accept either cash (no change) or IC cards (like the EasyCard). Minor cities and towns do not have local buses, but have intercity routes that make frequent stops. These can be found using the method in the previous paragraph. Occasionally a bus driver might stop a bus away from the curb at a bus stop. Sometimes it is due to a vehicle illegally parked at a bus stop. (Taiwanese traffic law and regulation prohibit vehicles from stopping or parking within 10&nbsp;m (33&nbsp;ft) of a bus stop.) However, a bus driver might stop a bus away from the curb just because he or she does not want to wait for overtaking traffic while leaving a bus stop. Therefore, be ''much more careful'' when getting on or off a bus stopped away from a curb, as many motorcycles, motor scooters, and bicycles will definitely be tempted to overtake on the right side of the stopped bus where people get on and off! (As traffic drives on the right side of the road in Taiwan, buses have doors on the right side.) In Taiwan you need to hail the bus you are taking as you see it coming—much like hailing a taxi. The terminal stop of the route is listed on the front of the bus in Chinese and sometimes English, so it is important to make sure the bus you get on is going the right direction. For city buses, sometimes you pay when boarding, sometimes when alighting, sometimes both (whether with cash or an IC card). As you get on the bus there will be an LED sign indicating that, opposite the entrance. Sometimes it's only in Chinese: 上 means on boarding, 下 means on alighting (or just watch other people). In some cities such as Kaohsiung and Taichung, failing to swipe your card correctly will result in a locked card. ====Navigation==== Google Maps is a quick way to find a route to your destination, but is not always reliable, especially for trips with changes and for longer distance (like in the south and southwest). Often it will highly overstate bus travel times, because it will consider each stop while the bus might only stop at every third or fourth. Hence, a trip from Kaohsiung or Pingtung to Kenting will be stated with 3-4 hr, even though it will just take 1 hr. Therefore, it will also often suggesting the wrong connections and transfers. However, it gives a very good indication on the possible route, vehicle number(s), frequency, availability and price of buses and trains. Besides, the ''Bus+'' app (Android/iOS) is quite reliable with schedules. You can find bus numbers on it, and it will list its (live) route. This is much easier than reading the Chinese bus stop signs. In combination with Google Maps route search it is quite handy. Furthermore, http://taiwanbus.tw/ has a likewise good overview, in case the Bus+ app is not that helpful. === By metro === [[File:VAL256 on Taipei MRT Muzha Line 20050320.jpg|thumb|Taipei MRT]] The following areas are served by metro, also known as MRT: * [[Taipei]] and [[New Taipei]] by Taipei Metro * Linkou Plateau, western Taipei and northeastern [[Taoyuan]] City by Taoyuan Metro *[[Taichung]] by Taichung MRT * [[Kaohsiung]] by Kaohsiung MRT It is prohibited to eat, drink or smoke in all metro systems past the fare gates. If multiple journeys are to be made, one can purchase a rechargeable IC card. There are 4 cards: EasyCard (悠遊卡), iPASS (一卡通), icash and HappyCash. For basic MRT transport purposes there is little difference between them. All metro systems are reliable, safe, clean and accessible. Disruptions are rare. The Taipei Metro in particular is widely lauded as one of the world's most reliable and efficient, and is often held up as a gold standard for other Metro systems around the world to emulate. Nearly all stations have toilets, elevators and info desks. There are also special waiting areas that is monitored by security camera for those who are concerned about security late at night. === By taxi === {{infobox|Betel nut beauties (檳榔西施) |The highways of Taiwan are lined with brightly lit booths staffed by attractive, skimpily dressed young women, but they're not plying the world's oldest trade; instead, they're betel nut beauties, who compete for the attention of customers to sell the mildly addictive stimulant '''betel''' (檳榔 ''bīnláng''), consisting of areca nuts and slaked lime wrapped in a betel leaf, not themselves. Betel itself is worth a try and there is a chance you will be offered it in the company of farmers or working-class Taiwanese. Be warned, it stains your teeth blood red. To consume it, bite and spit off the cap at the top of the nut, then chew the rest of the bundle. Only the first mouthful of saliva must be spit and afterwards one can either choose to spit or swallow and enjoy the buzz. One sampling on your trip shouldn't be a problem, but do keep in mind that this little treat is habit-forming and cancer-causing for long-term users. Due to the known health risks, consumption of betel nuts is declining, and betel but beauties are becoming increasingly few and far between.}} Taxis are very common in major Taiwanese cities. You do not need to look for a taxi, they'll be looking for you. The standard yellow taxis scour roads looking for potential riders such as lost foreigners. It is possible but generally unnecessary to phone for a taxi. To hail one, simply place your hand in front of you parallel to the ground. But they'll often stop for you even if you're just waiting to cross the street or for a bus. In less heavily trafficked areas further out from the transit hubs, taxis are always available by calling taxi dispatch centers or using mobile apps. Drivers generally cannot converse in English or read Westernized addresses (except for special Taoyuan airport taxis). Get the hotel staff or a Taiwanese friend write out your destination in Chinese, and also take a business card from the hotel. Show the driver the Chinese writing of where you are going. Taxis are visibly metered (starting point priced at NT$70), and taxi drivers are strictly forbidden from taking tips. A maximum of four people can ride in one cab, and for the price of one. Compared to European or American taxis, those in Taiwan are inexpensive. Although taxi drivers in Taiwan tend to be more honest than in many other countries, not all are trustworthy. An indirect trip might cost you half again as much. A cab driver using night-time rates during the daytime will cost you 30% more (make sure he presses the large button on the left on his meter before 23:00). Avoid the especially overzealous drivers who congregate at the exits of train stations. Also, stand your ground and insist on paying meter price only if any driving on mountain roads is involved. Some drivers like to tack on surcharges or use night-time rates if driving to places like [[Wenshan]] (文山) or [[Wulai]] (烏來). Such attempts to cheat are against the law. From Taoyuan Airport (TPE), buses are a much more economical option but if you want a direct route Taoyuan airport drivers are the best choice. They're quite comfortable and get you to your destination as quick as possible. All the TPE taxi drivers are interlinked by radio so they could be forewarned if there are police. Sometimes, if there are traffic jams and no police around, the driver will drive in the emergency lane. Taxis from TPE to destinations in Tao Yuan, parts of Taipei county and some other destinations are 'allowed' to add an additional 50% to the meter fare. The badge and taxi driver identification are displayed inside and the license number marked on the outside. You must also be wary that the driver turns on his meter, otherwise he might rip you off. In such a case, you aren't obliged to pay; but make sure you can find a police officer to settle the matter. If there are stories of passengers boarding fake taxis and being attacked by the driver, it is best not to be paranoid about it. Drivers may be more worried about passengers attacking them! If you do call a taxi dispatch center, you will be given a taxi number to identify the vehicle when it arrives. Generally, dispatch is extremely rapid and efficient, as the taxis are constantly monitoring dispatch calls from the headquarters using radio while they are on the move. This is also the safest way to take a taxi, especially for women. Taxis are also a flexible although relatively expensive way to travel to nearby cities. They have the advantage over the electric trains in that they run very late at night. Drivers are required to provide a receipt if asked, though you might find them unwilling to do so. Taxi drivers, as elsewhere in Asia, are not keen on exchanging large notes. Try to keep some smaller denomination notes on hand to avoid the hassle of fighting with the driver for change. Taxi drivers are known for their strong political opinions. Many are supporters of the pan-green coalition and Taiwanese independence, spending all day listening to Taiwanese political talk radio. Drivers also have negative connotations as being former prisoners. Be careful about your opinions on sensitive political subjects (including, but not necessarily limited to cross-strait relations); also be careful of describing your destination which may be perceived politically (such as the President's Office or Chiang-Kai-Shek Memorial Hall). Also watch out for drivers who discriminate against other cultures such as taping "No Korean passengers" on their cars. This is sometimes unavoidable as some drivers provoke such discussion. In addition, if you see what looks like blood spewing from the driver's mouth, or him spitting blood onto the street—not to fret–it's merely him chewing betel nut (see box). Keep in mind, however, that betel nuts are a stimulant. Taxi drivers are generally friendly towards foreigners, and a few of them take the opportunity to try their limited English skills. They are most likely to ask you about yourself, and are a patient audience to your attempts at speaking Mandarin. If you are traveling with small children, don't be surprised if they are given candy when you disembark. Women are sometimes warned not to take taxis alone at night. This is not an extreme risk, although there have been incidents where women have been attacked. To be more safe, women can have the hotel or restaurant phone a cab for them (ensuring a licensed driver), have a companion write down the license number of the driver (clearly displayed on the dashboard), or keep a cell phone handy. Do not get in if the driver doesn't have a license with picture clearly displayed in the cab. === By scooter or motorcycle === Scooters with an engine size of 50cc require a license to drive, and should be insured and registered in the owner's name. Foreign nationals with stay less than 30 days do not have an easy way to get a scooter license. Until 2003 it wasn't possible to get a scooter above 150cc. Many of the scooters within cities are only 50cc and incapable of going faster than 80&nbsp;km/h (50&nbsp;mph). The more powerful versions known as ''zhongxing'' (重型, heavy format) scooters are now quite common and can be rented for short-term use, or found for sale used at [http://www.englishintaiwan.com English In Taiwan] if you're going to need it for a while. They are '''not''' allowed on freeways even if they are capable of going faster than 100&nbsp;km/h (62&nbsp;mph) unless used for certain police purposes, but that just means you have to take the scenic route. If you're just learning to drive a scooter on the streets of Taiwan, it would be a good idea to practice a bit on a back road or alley until you have a feel for the scooter. Attempting to do so in the busier cities could easily be fatal. Certainly, things can get pretty hairy on Taiwanese roads and Taipei in particular has narrower more congested roads than many other cities. However if you know what you're doing, it's the perfect way to get around in a city. It should be possible to rent a scooter by the day, week or month, depending on the city in which you're staying. One Taipei motorcycle and scooter rental service with English language service is [http://www.bikefarm.net Bikefarm], which is run by a very friendly and helpful English guy called Jeremy. In Taichung, Foreigner Assistance Services In Taiwan '''[http://www.englishintaiwan.com/foreignerservices/fast.php F.A.S.T]''' offers a rental service for foreign visitors. Otherwise, scooters are generally easy to rent in most major cities, with many such places being near railway or bus stations. Most usually require some form of identification even if, in some cases, it consists of your expired Blockbuster video card! The average price you may expect is NT$400 for 24 hours, this includes one or two helmets. Another option is to rent a motorcycle. Many foreigners swear by their 125cc Wild Wolf (野狼) motorcycles, and a trip around the island on a motorcycle can be a great way to see the island up close. It is to be mentioned that since 2007, scooters and motorcycle over 550cc are allowed to go on expressway providing that they have a red license plate. They are however to be considered as cars, and as such cannot be parked in scooter parking spaces. === By car === [[File:Traffic restored on the 133K~135K section of Provincial Highway 21.jpg|thumb|View of Yushan Scenic Highway]] An international driving license is required for driving in Taiwan and may be used for up to 30 days, after which you'll need to apply for a local permit. Some municipalities may impose additional restrictions, so check ahead with the rental shop. [http://www.vipcar.com.tw/ VIP Rentals] in [[Taipei]] is quite happy to rent cars to foreigners, and will even deliver the car to a given destination. A deposit is often required, and the last day of rental is not pro-rated, but calculated on a per-hour basis at a separate (higher) rate. The numbered highway system is very good in Taiwan. Most traffic signs are in international symbols, but many signs show names of places and streets in Chinese only. All road directional signs are written in both Chinese and English, though the non-standardized Romanization means that English names can vary between road signs, making it rather confusing. The highways are in excellent shape with toll stations around every 30&nbsp;km (19&nbsp;mi). Toll is charged electronically and you pay the rental company when you return the car. Traffic moves on the right in Taiwan. Parking in cities is generally charged. A attendant will put a payment slip under your windscreen wiper, you can pay at convenience stores. While driving may be the best way to get around the countryside, in larger cities like Taipei and Kaohsiung, traffic jams are a problem as is the difficulty of finding a good parking space, especially during the rush hour and traffic tends to get chaotic so you might be better off relying on public transport instead. === By thumb === While Taiwanese themselves don't generally [[Hitchhiking|hitchhike]], foreigners will have it very easy to find a hitch. However, in rural areas people may not recognize the thumb in the air symbol, and you may try pointing your hand to the ground and waving towards you. It is very easy to flag down a car in rural and mountain regions. So, instead of waiting for that one bus a day that goes by, just hitch a ride. Flagging down a car might work on a country lane with little or no public transportation, but doing so on a major road might lead to confusion, with the driver assuming that you are in trouble. A sign, especially one in Chinese, would therefore be of great help. The East coast around Hualien and Taitung enjoys a reputation for being especially good for getting rides. Taiwanese people are very friendly and helpful, so striking up a conversation with someone at a transport café or freeway service station may well see you on your way. === By bicycle === Although Taiwan is known for being a major player in the [[cycling|bicycle]] industry (through companies such as Giant and Merida), bicycles used to be considered an unwanted reminder of less prosperous times. This has changed, and bicycling is again on the rise, both as a tool for commuting and recreation, and support infrastructure is slowly being put into place. Several bike paths have been built, and recreational cycling has become quite popular amongst locals, especially on weekends. However, you should also be aware that local drivers have a well deserved reputation for recklessness. As such, you should exercise extreme caution when cycling outside of designated bicycle lanes and trails. The government has been promoting bicycling as a method of clean recreation. Several designated bicycle paths have been built throughout Taiwan (especially along riverside parks). Additionally, [http://www.formosanfattire.com/trails/ long distance rides], including through the Central Mountain Range, and along the coastline around the main island have become popular. For long distance trips, bicycles can be shipped as is using standard freight service from the Taiwan Railway Administration between larger stations. Non-folding bicycles may also be transported aboard the Taipei and Kaohsiung rapid transit systems if loaded at specific stations, during off peak hours (usually 10:00-16:00 on weekdays, check with your local station personnel to confirm). * [https://www.metro.taipei/cp.aspx?n=F299BF5B3142389A Taipei MRT Route Map], bicycles may be loaded at designated stations * [http://www.krtco.com.tw/en/guide_StipulationsforPassengerswithBicycles.aspx Kaohsiung MRT Bicycle Information] (passengers traveling with non-folding bicycles are assessed a flat rate NT$60 fare irrespective of distance) Giant Bicycles Corporation operates a large network of bicycle retail stores that offer '''rentals''' for as little as NT$100 per day, if requested one week in advance. Generally, the day rate is around NT$300 for a modern bicycle. Also, rented bicycles can be picked up at one station and given back another station. This can be convenient if you want to go down the quiet east coast with a bicycle and back up the busy west coast with the train/bus. A one week finesse bike including bags costs as little as €100. Public shared bicycles are also available for rent at automated kiosks in most Taiwanese cities. Rental fees are usually paid using the rapid transit EasyCard or iPass system. There is YouBike in Taipei, which are available all over the city and even 30&nbsp;km out &ndash; see [[Taipei]] for more details. Additionally, many local police stations provide basic support services for cyclists, such as air pumps, and as a rest stop. === By plane === [[File:UNI Air MD-90-30 (B-17918) at Kaohsiung International Airport.jpg|thumb|Domestic plane, Taiwan]] Domestic air travel in Taiwan is primarily for outlying islands, as Taiwan is fairly compact with a modern and efficient rail network. There are also routes that connect the east and west coasts, since there is a geographical barrier between the two. There are no longer any west coast only routes as [[high speed rail]] has made them redundant. The main carriers are '''[http://www.mandarin-airlines.com/ Mandarin Airlines]''', a subsidiary of China Airlines; and '''[http://www.uniair.com.tw/ UNI Air]''', owned by EVA. There is also Daily Air and Far Eastern Air Transport. Flights are frequent, and it is usually unnecessary to book flights in advance, except during holidays. Fares for domestic flights are not too expensive, and local planes are very good. The domestic airport in Taipei is [http://www.tsa.gov.tw/tsa/en/home.aspx Songshan Airport], which is in the north of the Taipei and easily reached by MRT or taxi. Other domestic airports include those in [[Taitung]], [[Hualien]], [[Makung]] (Penghu/Pescadores), [[Kinmen]], [[Taichung]], [[Nangan]] and [[Beigan]]. Travellers heading to [[Kenting]] can use the direct and frequent bus service from Kaohsiung airport that connect with flights arriving from Taipei. If you want to visit Taiwan's smaller islands, the plane is still the best option, and is the only practical option for travelling to [[Kinmen]] and the easiest method of reaching [[Penghu]] and [[Matsu]]. For travel to Green Island and [[Orchid Island]], the plane from Taitung saves several hours over taking the ferry which is notorious among Taiwanese for its rough ride. ===On foot and navigation=== Taiwan is an excellent place for hiking and trekking, providing many interesting and picturesque trails in its mountainous centre, or just north-east of Taipei. For reliable maps and comprehensive trails and map information, consult [https://www.openstreetmap.org/ OpenStreetMap], which is also used by this travel guide, and by many mobile Apps like [http://osmand.net/ OsmAnd] (complex with many add-ons) and [https://maps.me/ MAPS.ME] (easy but limited). == See == Perhaps due to its political ambiguity and lack of global presence, Taiwan has never been a significant destination for Westerners. Nevertheless tourists from [[Japan]] and [[Hong Kong]] have been visiting Taiwan in droves for a long time, and they are being joined by an increasing number of Koreans, Southeast Asians and Westerners. The island is home to many cultural attractions, with an excellent selection right in the capital. Taipei is a bustling and modern metropolis, with ancient yet lively streets, and world-famous landmarks like '''Taipei 101'''. However, it's also home to the '''National Palace Museum''', '''Zhongshan Hall''', '''Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall''' and the beautifully restored '''Bao'an Temple'''. Bao'an is just one of many striking temple complexes worth a visit. For more, try the '''Zushi Temple''' in [[Sanxia]] or the '''Mazu temple''' in [[Makung]]. The large '''Longshan Temple''' in [[Lukang]] and the '''Confucian Temples''' of [[Changhua]] and [[Tainan]] are fine choices too. Tainan is the oldest city in Taiwan and therefore full of historic sites, especially colonial buildings, and including the Anping "Tree House" that's being slowly reclaimed by banyan trees. If you're looking for some deeper insights in Taiwan's history and culture, there's a wide range of '''museums''' to be explored, pretty much wherever your go. Taiwan retains its place as a major center of Chinese pop culture. In addition, this state is home to bustling cities with modern, high-tech infrastructure, and good transportation infrastructure means that getting around is easy. For those who have grown weary of the hustle and bustle of cities, Taiwan also offers some very impressive scenery and charming historical villages in its rural areas. === Nature === [[File:Taiwan 2009 HuaLien Taroko Gorge Narrow Gap and Road PB140025.jpg|thumb|200px|Taroko Gorge, Taroko National Park]] Some people think of Taiwan as a grimy, densely populated industrial island full of hard disk factories, and you may well maintain this perception if you only stick to the densely populated West Coast. However, for those who take time to venture to the more sparsely populated East Coast will quickly find that Taiwan is actually home to some stunning landscapes. The [[Taroko Gorge]] (太魯閣) near [[Hualien]] in particular is very impressive, and should not be missed, with a side trip to the rugged shores at ''Shihtiping'' (石梯坪) as a worthwhile detour. '''Hehuan Mountain''' and '''[[Sun Moon Lake]]''' are beautiful natural attractions near [[Nantou]], while the huge and ancient trees in '''[[Lalashan]]''' make for great hikes near [[Taoyuan]]. In fact, most of Taiwan is covered with mountains which offer breathtaking views, so hiking opportunities are very diverse. == Do == * '''Hot Springs''' (溫泉) – Taiwan's geographical location between an oceanic trench and volcanic system makes it an ideal hot springs vacation spot. There are several hot springs destinations throughout the country, including [[Beitou]] (北投), [[Wulai]] (烏來) and [[Yangmingshan]] (陽明山). The culture of bathing in hot springs was introduced by the Japanese during the colonial period, and remains firmly entrenched in the local culture to this day. At traditional establishments segregated by sex, you may be expected to bathe nude. However, many other places, particular those geared for foreigners, are unisex and require a bathing suit. ===Hiking=== Taiwan is an island of huge mountains (more than two hundred peaks over 3,000m) and there are many hiking opportunities. [[Taroko Gorge]] is popular for its incredible scenery, and serious hikers can trek [[Yushan]] or Wuling Sixiu, among many others. Even in [[Taipei]] and [[New Taipei]] there are a variety of trails to suit hikers of any level. Serious trekking is rather complicated due to an advance booking requirement (usually 7 days) and lodging lottery&mdash;see http://np.cpami.gov.tw/. Permits are required for many trails, especially remote or multi-day hikes and some (though not all!) in national parks. Nevertheless, there are also many trails available that do not need an application. They are mostly day hikes, but you can always put together your trip sections as preferred&mdash;consult apps that use [http://www.openstreetmap.org OpenStreetMap], like [http://osmand.net/ OsmAnd] and [https://maps.me/ MAPS.ME]. They have comprehensive and reliable tracks available. ===Shrimping=== Popular locally, and gaining traction with foreign tourists due to YouTube and travel bloggers, is the pastime of indoor shrimp fishing. For an hourly rate (around NT$300/hr), you will be provided with a fishing rod and a seat at an indoor shrimp pool that is regularly stocked with large live Thai prawns. While drinking beer and enjoying the laid back environment, you will be afforded an opportunity to catch dinner with locals. Almost all locales have a few indoor shrimp fishing pools to seek out. Almost all double as restaurants with tables and ovens available for use, allowing you to cook your catch on-site and order additional dishes as needed. ===Events=== * '''[http://www.springscream.com/ Spring Scream]''' (春天吶喊) – A three day outdoor rock concert in [[Kenting]], held every year. In 2011, it will take place on 1–4 April. Tickets are NT$1,400 for all days, all venues; NT$650 for one day, one venue. Kenting's entire area gets swarmed by young people coming to party for 3 days, and Taiwanese TV heavily reports on the latest bikini fashions seen on the spot. Be aware, though, that police presence will be strong, as the festival has a reputation for being rife with illegal drugs. * '''Buddha's Birthday''' (佛祖誕辰) – Colorful but simple ceremonies are held at Buddhist monasteries that generally consist of washing a statue of the Buddha and a vegetarian feast. It is appropriate to make offerings to the monks and nuns at this time, though it is not mandatory. Lunar Calendar 8th day of 4th month. * '''Dragon Boat Festival''' (龍舟賽) – A festival to commemorate the death of the Chinese patriotic poet Qu Yuan (born 340 BC), who drowned himself in a river out of despair that his beloved country, Chu, was being plundered by a neighboring country as a result of betrayal by his own people. The festival falls on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month (25 June 2020), and is marked by races of colorful dragon boats at various locations throughout the island. * '''Cherry Blossom Season''' (櫻花季) – Every spring, in [[Yangmingshan]] (陽明山). * '''Mazu Festival''' (媽祖生) – Festival commemorating the traditional birthday of Mazu, a traditional Chinese goddess who is popularly worshipped in Taiwan. The biggest celebration is an eight-day long "inspection tour" of a Mazu statue from the Zhenlan Temple in [[Taichung]] to the Chaotian Temple in [[Southern Taiwan|Beigang]] and back, though many other temples throughout Taiwan's main island and the outlying islands also conduct their own festivities. Lunar Calendar 23rd day of 3rd month. === Traditional pastimes === Generally speaking, traditional Chinese games such as [[Go]] (圍棋 ''wéiqí'') and [[Xiangqi|Chinese chess]] (象棋 ''xiàngqí'') are popular in Taiwan too. Both games are played at the professional level in Taiwan, and there are numerous tournaments that visitors may watch. While gambling is illegal in Taiwan, '''mahjong''' (Mandarin: 麻將 ''májiàng''; Taiwanese: 麻雀 ''moâ-chhiok'') remains popular. The Taiwanese version of the game derives from the Fujianese form, which differs significantly from the better known Cantonese and Japanese versions, most notably because a hand consists of 17 tiles instead of the 14 used in other versions. Mahjong in Taiwan is mostly a family and friends affair, and is usually played at social gatherings in people's houses. Mahjong clubs generally cater to groups of friends or family members looking to play together, though they can often assist in helping you find other players if you show up alone. While playing for money is not allowed at mahjong clubs due to Taiwan's anti-gambling laws, they will often allow you to exchange the points you win for various prizes. === Performing Arts === '''Glove puppet shows''' (布袋戲) originated in Fujian province on mainland China, and were brought to Taiwan by the first Han Chinese immigrants. Nevertheless, they have since been somewhat modernised and taken on some uniquely Taiwanese characteristics. Another traditional Taiwanese type of performance is '''Taiwanese opera''' (歌仔戲), which originated in [[Yilan]] based on traditional Chinese opera styles. == Buy == ===Money=== {{exchange rates | currency=New Taiwan dollars | currencyCode=NT$ | date=January 2022 | CNY=4.3 | EUR=31 | GBP=37 | JPY=24 | USD=28 | source=[http://www.xe.com/currency/twd-taiwan-new-dollar XE.com]}}The currency of Taiwan is the '''New Taiwan dollar''', denoted by the symbol "'''NT$'''" (新臺幣 or 臺幣, ISO code: '''NTD''', but also referred to as TWD). The NT dollar is known locally as NT, ''yuán'' (元 or more formally 圓) when written in Chinese or colloquially in Mandarin as the ''kuài'' (塊). One unit is known colloquially as the ''kho&#x358;'' (箍) in the Taiwanese dialect. One dollar is divided into 100 cents, known as a 分 (''fēn'') in Chinese. 10 cents is formally known as a 角 (''jiǎo''), and colloquially as a 毛 (''máo'') in Chinese. Any '''$''' sign you see in Taiwan or this travel guide for Taiwan generally refers to NTD unless it includes other initials (e.g. US$ for U.S. dollars). Banknotes come in denominations of NT$100, NT$200, NT$500, NT$1,000 and NT$2,000, while coins come in denominations of NT$½, NT$1, NT$5, NT$10, NT$20 and NT$50. The NT$½ coin is rarely seen or accepted because of its low value, and the price of raw materials used to make the coin is more than the face value of the coin. Taiwanese currency is fully convertible and there are no restrictions on taking currency into or out of the island. Currency exchange is possible internationally, although you will get a much better rate if you wait until you arrive at the airport to exchange currency at the 24-hour window. Most banks in Taipei and Kaohsiung will also exchange money or offer cash advances on credit or debit cards. Should you bring American currency, bring newer bills as the banks and exchange-centers (such as in department stores) will only accept the newer notes (notes from 1996 and 2003 are not accepted at most places, due to a high proportion of forgeries bearing these years). Notes which are torn or damaged will probably not be changed, and old-style small-bust notes are not accepted, including the US$2 bill no matter when it was printed. Taiwan National Bank will take older bank notes and bank notes that are wrinkled or torn for exchange. Department stores will not exchange notes older than 1997. Don't forget to show your passport! ====ATMs==== Taiwan has abundant ATMs to withdraw cash from using the Plus or Cirrus systems. Certain banks' ATMs will even tell you your available balance in your own currency or in NT$. There is a per transaction limit of NT$20,000 for ATM cash withdrawals (HSBC Global Access customers may withdraw NT$30,000 from HSBC ATMs). Post office ATMs will ''not'' accept cards without an EMV chip. However, ATMs are sometimes out of cash, especially in remote (mountain) regions. So, make sure you stock up on cash early enough. 7-Eleven ATMs charge NT$100 per transaction, whilst those in Family Marts do not charge a fee. ====Credit cards==== Most hotels and department stores accept credit cards, generally Visa, MasterCard, and JCB. Diners Club, Discover and American Express cards are seldom accepted. Most restaurants and small stores do not accept cards, and cash is the main form of payment. Because street crime is rare, it is common for people in Taiwan to carry large amounts of cash with them. ===== Mobile Wallets ===== Unlike mainland China, QR code based mobile wallet payments are not quite ubiquitous or essential to the point that a visitor would have a hard time without one. In addition, Taiwan's mobile wallet apps generally require foreigners to register with an ARC, limiting the ability of visitors to use it. However, LINE Pay, one of the most popular, is cross-compatible with its counterparts in Thailand, Japan, and South Korea, meaning that if you already have a LINE Pay account from one of those countries, it can be used with any linked credit or debit card to make payments at stores in Taiwan that take LINE Pay. Your card will be directly charged in NT$; LINE Pay does not automatically convert to your account currency. This can reduce the amount of cash you need to carry around as some shops that otherwise do not take card payments will take LINE Pay and other mobile wallets. ====Banks==== If you are planning on staying in Taiwan for a longer time, you should consider opening a Taiwanese bank account. While many of the large foreign banks such as Citibank and HSBC have branches in Taiwan, they often require huge deposits in order for you to open an account, so you might wish to consider one of the major local banks such as the Bank of Taiwan instead. You will need to bring your passport and UI number in order to open an account. The UI number is the number on the Alien Residence Card for those on long-term visas. For short-term tourists, they can obtain an "UI No. Basic Information Form" for free from the local Immigration Agency office, but this is not accepted by all banks. The larger banks will often have English-speaking staff available to assist foreigners. === Costs === Costs in Taiwan are generally lower than in Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong, but higher than in Southeast Asia and mainland China. For a budget traveller on a bare-bones budget, NT$1,000 will get you by for a day, but you'll probably want to double that for comfort. A meal at a street stall may cost NT$50 or less, a meal at a Western fast food restaurant will run you about NT$150 and at the fanciest restaurants, you can expect a bill in excess of NT$1,000. On the high end of the spectrum, hotel rooms at a swanky hotel might cost NT$5,000 or more. Costs diminish significantly the further you go out of the big cities. Taxis are quite reasonable and often have a set fare for common destinations, so ask in advance and haggle if you disagree. === Tipping === Tipping is generally '''not''' practiced in Taiwan. Bellhops in high end hotels and porters at airports are an exception and should be given NT$50 per bag. Also, tipping to show appreciation for exceptional service is not uncommon. Tipping is also not expected in taxis and drivers would usually return your change to the last dollar. In place of tips is a 10% service charge when dining at most full-service restaurants which is automatically added to the bill. ===Shopping=== [[File:Linjiang Street Night Market 20040610.jpg|thumb|A typical night market in Taiwan may sell anything from food to clothing to fortune telling services]] As in many Asian countries, night markets are a staple of Taiwanese entertainment, shopping and eating. Night markets are open-air markets, usually on a street or alleyway, with vendors selling all sorts of wares on every side. In the larger cities you will have a night market every night and in the same place. In smaller cities, they are only open certain nights of the week, and may move to different streets depending on the day of the week. Every city has at least one night market; larger cities like [[Taipei]] may have a dozen or more. Night markets are crowded, so remember to watch out for your wallet! Shops selling the same items tend to congregate in the same part of the city. If you want to buy something, ask someone to take you to one shop and there will probably be shops selling similar things nearby. There are many shopping centres in Taipei where prices are usually fixed and goods are genuine. Otherwise, shopping streets in larger cities like [[Kaohsiung]] and [[Taichung]] can also easily get you what you want. And of course, there is the trendy Ximending (西門町) in Taipei, where you can pretty much find anything associated with the youths, also at fixed prices. Computer chain shops and department stores normally have fixed prices, but at least in department stores you may get a "registered member discount" if you're shopping a lot. Prices at smaller stores and even some hostels are normally cash prices. If you like to use a credit card, the seller normally wants to add anything up to 8% to the price as a "card fee" etc. The fee consists actually of the credit company's commission and also the local sales tax/VAT. If you pay cash, you might not get an official receipt, as then the seller would have to report and pay their taxes in full. If you ask for a receipt or "fa piao" (發票), you will get it but you may need to pay 3-5% more. ===Bargaining=== Whilst [[bargaining]] was OK in the past and expected in night markets as well as smaller stores, nowadays most prices are fixed. Taiwan has become a sophisticated and wealthy country where most Taiwanese, especially from the cities, generally do not request discounts and any such are likely to receive a friendly ''No''. Nevertheless, you will encounter different prices, e.g. cut fruits will cost NT$30 at the Night Market, but NT$80 in tourist areas. However, it is possible to get a discount of NT$20-100 when renting a motorbike/bicycle, searching for accommodation or such, depending on the circumstances and time of day. While you might miss a general bargaining culture and be bewildered by the general bargain inflexibility of Taiwanese, it can on the other hand be calming to know that no one will try to rip you off as it is common in other less-developed Southeast Asian countries. === What to buy === Popular things to buy include: * '''Jade'''. Although it can be hard to know for sure if the item you're buying is real jade or not, some beautiful objects are sold. Most cities have a specific jade market dealing in jade and other precious stones. * '''Computers'''. Taiwan designs and produces a lot of desktops, laptops, and PC peripherals. Travellers might be interested in visiting the large Information Technology Market at Taiwan for the best prices. Desktop computers and components tend to be the same price in Taiwan as in other areas of the world, though peripherals such as cables and adapters tend to be noticeably cheaper. If you're buying domestic, it's best to go to tourist hangouts to buy your stuff as you might be saddled with Chinese documentation otherwise. Also, notebooks are typically only available with a Chinese Bopomofo and English keyboard. * '''Lingzhi''' (靈芝). A type of bracket fungus that is often used as a Chinese herb. It supposedly has many health benefits with an apparent absence of side effects, earning it a high reputation in East Asian countries and making it rather expensive. Taiwanese lingzhi is particularly famous for being of the highest quality. * '''[[Tea]]'''. Taiwan is particularly famous for its oolong tea (烏龍茶) due to the island's predominant Fujianese culture; it is available at many tea shops. Tea tasting in Chinese culture is akin to wine tasting in Western culture and you will find many grades of this same type of tea, with different methods of treating the tea leaves. * '''[[w:Iron egg|Iron eggs]]''' (鐵蛋) irresistible delicacy In order to protect the environment, a government policy rules that plastic bags cannot be given freely at stores in Taiwan, but have to be bought (at a flat rate of NT$1)—bakeries being an exception as the items need to be hygienically wrapped. Re-usable canvas and nylon bags are sold at most supermarkets. == Eat == {{seealso|Chinese cuisine}} {{infobox|Stinky tofu|Undoubtedly the most infamous Taiwanese delicacy, stinky tofu (臭豆腐 ''chòudòufu'') is fermented tofu with a strong odor often likened to rotting garbage. It's usually sold only by outdoor stalls, as the smell would overwhelm most restaurants, but if you can hold your nose long enough to eat it, the taste is quite mild &mdash; but with distinct earthy overtones that many visitors find off-putting. It's most commonly eaten fried, but for extra Fear Factor points, find some ''mala'' hotpot (麻辣鍋) with stinky tofu and gelatinized duck blood.}} [[File:Food_BeefNoodleSoup.JPG|thumb|Taiwanese beef noodle soup]] [[File:Food_AiyuLemonJelly.JPG|thumb|Lemon ''aiyu'' jelly]] Taiwan is a food lover's paradise, and a popular culinary tourism destination for East and Southeast Asian tourists. While not as highly regarded as the food from Hong Kong due to the traditionally high status Cantonese cuisine holds in Chinese culture, Taiwanese food has become more respected. Generally speaking, the foods of Taiwan are derived from '''mainland Chinese cuisines'''. Because most Taiwanese trace their ancestry to [[Fujian]], it comes as no surprise that much of Taiwanese cuisine was derived from the cuisine of Fujian. It is also possible to find [[Szechuan]] (四川) food, [[Hunan]] (湖南) food, [[Dongbei]] (東北) food, [[Guangdong|Cantonese]] (廣東) food and almost every other Chinese cuisine on the island, because many famous chefs from the mainland fled to Taiwan after the communist victory in 1949, and many Nationalist soldiers brought their family recipes with them when retreating from the mainland. That being said, Taiwanese cuisine has absorbed substantial local influences, and significant Japanese influences because of 50 years of Japanese colonial rule, giving it a unique character that distinguishes it from its mainland Chinese counterparts. The Taiwanese are also passionately in love with eggs and seafood. Fruits are another famous part of Taiwanese food. A wide range of fruits can be found at local fruit shops and stations. The subtropical climate allows different fruits to grow nicely. Taiwan also has many of its own '''local specialties'''. A few found island wide include: * '''[[w:Beef noodles|Beef Noodles]]''' (牛肉麵 ''niúròu miàn'') – Noodle soup with chunks of meltingly soft stewed beef and a dash of pickles derived from the cuisines of Sichuan. * '''[[w:Oyster omelette|Oyster omelette]]''' (蚵仔煎 ''ó āh jiān'' – This is the Taiwanese name, as its Chinese name only exists in characters, but not in oral Mandarin), a dish made from eggs, oysters, sweet potato flour and the leaves of a local chrysanthemum, topped with sweet red sauce. The local version in [[Kinmen]] differs quite considerably from the version on the main island, and is closer to the versions served in mainland China's Fujian province. * '''[[w:Aiyu jelly|Aiyu jelly]]''' (愛玉 ''àiyù'') – Made from the seeds of a local fig and usually served on ice &mdash; sweet, cool and refreshing on a hot day * '''Taiwan Sausage''' (香腸 ''xiāngcháng'') – Usually made from pork, it is a modified version of the Cantonese ''laap cheong'' (臘腸) which has been emulsified and is much sweeter in taste. Unlike ''laap cheong'', which is almost always eaten with rice, Taiwanese ''xiangchang'' is usually eaten on its own with some garlic. * '''Taiwanese Orange''' (柳丁 ''liŭdīng'') – A type of citrus fruit which is similar to usual oranges, except that the skin and flesh tend to look more yellowish like lemon. Unlike lemon, it is usually quite sweet. * '''Taiwanese Porridge''' (粥 ''zhōu'' in Mandarin, 糜 ''beh'' in Taiwanese) — Rice porridge cooked with sweet potato eaten all across China but most commonly in Fujian. It is usually eaten with several different dishes or eaten by people with illnesses. * '''[[w:Braised pork rice|Braised pork rice]]''' (滷肉飯 ''lǔ ròu fàn'') – Rice topped with pork belly that has been stewed in dark soy sauce and other spices and chopped into tiny pieces. A classic Taiwanese comfort dish. For a less fatty version, ask for 肉燥飯 (''ròu zào fàn''), which uses minced pork instead. * '''[[w:Taiwan Railway Bento|Railway Bento]]''' (臺鐵便當 ''Tái tiě biàndang'') - A national culinary icon and Taiwanese train tradition, this takeaway dish is a holdover of the Japanese era, and celebrated in Taiwan. The most popular bento is the braised pork cutlet bento. You can find this dish at train stations in Taiwan (though locals compare the quality of railway bento on a station-by-station basis), but adaptations are sold by various restaurants across Taiwan. Most cities and towns in Taiwan are famous for special foods because of the Taiwanese passion for food and influences from many different countries. For example, Ilan (宜蘭) is famous for its mochi (麻吉), a sticky rice snack often flavored with sesame, peanuts or other flavorings. [[Yungho|Yonghe]] (永和), a suburb of Taipei, is famous for its freshly made soy milk (豆漿) and breakfast foods. [[Taichung]] is famous for its sun cakes (太陽餅 ''tàiyáng bǐng''), a kind of sweet stuffed pastry. In [[Chiayi]], it's square cookies, also called cubic pastry (方塊酥), crispy layered cookies cut into squares and sprinkled liberally with sesame seeds. [[Tainan]] is particularly famous among the Taiwanese for its abundance of good food and should be a stop for all gourmands. The most famous dish is arguably the ''coffin bread'' (棺材板). Virtually every city has its own famous specialties; many Taiwanese tourists will visit other cities on the island simply to try the local foods and then return home. Taiwan also has remarkably good '''bakery items'''. Most specialize in sweet Chinese pastries or Western pastries adjusted to local tastes, but look out for ''We Care'' bakeries which also offer Western options such as whole wheat loaves, sour breads and ciabatta. Vegetarians are better catered for in restaurants and variety than in most other countries. Michelin publishes a [https://guide.michelin.com/tw/en/taipei-region/taipei guide] to restaurants in Taipei. That said, it does not cover the whole of Taiwan, and most locals only take the Michelin guide with a pinch of salt. === Places to eat === If you're on a budget, the cheapest food can be found in back-alley noodle shops and night market stalls, where you can get a filling bowl of noodles for around NT$35-70. The Taiwanese love to snack and even many restaurants advertise ''xiaochi'' (小吃), literally "small eats", the Taiwanese equivalent of Cantonese ''dim sum''. There are also the standard '''fast food''' places such as McDonalds (a standard Big Mac Meal costs NT$115), KFC and MOS Burger. In addition there are large numbers of convenience stores (such as 7-Eleven and Family Mart) that sell things like tea eggs, sandwiches, bento boxes (便當盒) and drinks. Night markets are also a good place to try some delicious local Taiwanese fare at attractive prices. Examples would be the Shilin Night Market (士林夜市) in [[Taipei]] and the Ruifeng Night Market (瑞豐夜市) in [[Kaohsiung]], each of which has its own special dishes not to be missed. === Etiquette === As with Chinese cuisine elsewhere, food in Taiwan is generally eaten with chopsticks and served on large plates placed at the center of the table and shared among multiple people. Oftentimes, a serving spoon or pair of chopsticks (公筷 ''gōngkuài'') accompanies the dishes and guests do not use their own chopsticks to transfer food to their plates. The usual traditional Chinese taboos when eating with chopsticks apply in Taiwan as well. For instance, do not stick your chopsticks straight up or into your bowl of rice. This is reminiscent of incense sticks at a temple, and has connotations of wishing death upon those around you. When putting down chopsticks, either place them on the provided porcelain chopstick rest (at fancier restaurants) or rest the chopsticks across the top of your bowl. Also, do not use your chopsticks to spear your food or move bowls and plates. See [[Chinese cuisine#Etiquette|Chinese table etiquette]] for more details. Although there are minor differences between Taiwanese and mainland Chinese etiquette, much of traditional Chinese table manners apply to Taiwan too. === Dietary restrictions === ====Vegetarians==== [[File:Sush Manji.JPG|thumb|The characters 素食 signal the availability of vegetarian food]] All Mahayana Buddhists, which account for the majority of adherents in Taiwan, aspire to be pure '''vegetarian''' in deference to the Buddha's teaching of non-violence and compassion. So, vegetarian restaurants (called ''su-shi'' 素食 ''tsan-ting'' 餐廳 in Mandarin, and often identified with the 卍 symbol) can be found in abundance all over the island, and they run from cheap buffet style to gourmet and organic. Buffet styled restaurants (called 自助餐, which means "Serve Yourself Restaurant") are common in almost every neighborhood in large cities, and unlike the 'all-you-can-eat' buffets (which charge a set price, usually ranging from NT$250-350 including dessert and coffee/tea), the cost is estimated by the weight of the food on your plate. Rice (there is usually a choice of brown or white) is charged separately, but soup or cold tea is free and you can refill as many times as you like. NT$90-120 will buy you a good sized, nutritious meal. However, if you cannot find a veggie restaurant, don't fret. Taiwanese people are very flexible and most restaurants will be happy to cook you up something to suit your requirements. The following sentences in Mandarin might be helpful: 我吃素 (''Wǒ chī sù'') - I'm vegetarian, 我不吃肉 (''Wǒ bù chī ròu'') - I don't eat meat. However, as Mandarin is a tonal language, you might need to say both, plus practice your acting skills to get yourself understood. Good luck! NB: If a restaurant refuses your order, don't push the issue. The reason will not be an unwillingness to accommodate your request, but because the basic ingredients of their dishes may include chicken broth or pork fat. Taiwanese vegetarianism (素食) isn't simply vegetarianism, for there is a notion of "plainness" to it. In most cases it excludes items such onion, ginger, and garlic. Buddhists and Taoists consider these items "un-plain" because they potentially cause physical excitement, which could hinder the meditative process. Thus, when offering food to a strict vegetarian, be aware that they may not eat food containing onion, ginger, and garlic. Although vegetarian restaurants in Taiwan do not aspire to '''vegan''' principles, almost all non-dessert dishes at Chinese style veggie restaurants will actually be vegan because Taiwanese do not have a tradition of eating dairy products. Ensure that your dish does not contain eggs, however. ====Allergies==== Awareness of '''food allergies''' is limited in Taiwan. If you can speak Chinese, you can ask restaurant staff about whether the food contains common allergens like peanuts or shellfish, and depending on the chef, they may be able to make some adjustments to accommodate you. Don't expect that level of accommodation from night markets stalls though. A serious '''soy''' allergy is basically incompatible with Taiwanese cuisine due to the prevalence of soy sauce as an ingredient, and '''gluten-free''' diets are very difficult to come by due to the very low incidence of celiac disease in Taiwan. '''Dairy''' is not commonly used in traditional Taiwanese cuisine, so avoiding it should be straightforward for lactose-intolerant people. ====Religious diets==== People on religious diets will have a ''hard time'' in Taiwan, and you will need to do some planning in advance. [[Islam|Muslims]] should contact the [http://www.cmainroc.org.tw Chinese Muslim Association] for advice on where to find ''halal'' food, while [[Judaism|Jews]] should contact the [https://www.jewish.tw/ Chabad Taiwan] for information on where to find ''kosher'' food. == Drink == [[File:HeySong beverage vending machine 20120917.jpg|thumb|Drinks vending machine in Taiwan]] As Taiwan is a subtropical island with the south part in the tropics, it cannot hurt to drink a lot, especially during summertime. Drink vending machines can be found virtually everywhere and are filled with all kinds of juices, tea and coffee drinks, soy milk and mineral water. === Alcohol === Taiwan's legal age to consume alcohol is 18 years of age. Minors caught drinking can face fines ranging from NT$10,000-50,000. Traditional alcoholic drinks in Taiwan are very strong. '''Kaoliang''' (高粱酒) from [[Kinmen]] is the most famous alcoholic drink. A distilled grain liquor, it is extremely strong, usually 140 proof or more, and often drunk straight. Taiwan also produces many types of '''Shaoxing''' (紹興酒), rice wine, which are considered by many as being some of the best in the world. While a relatively newcomer to the scene, Taiwanese '''[[whisky]]''' (威士忌) has been making waves in the 21st century, with local whiskey brand [http://www.kavalanwhisky.com/ Kavalan] having emerged from obscurity to win numerous prestigious international awards. Taiwanese people enjoy beer on ice. A wide variety of imported beers are available, but the standard is '''Taiwan Beer''' (台灣啤酒), produced by a former government monopoly. It is brewed with fragrant penglai rice in addition to barley giving it a distinctive flavor. The beer is served cold and recognized as an especially suitable complement to Taiwanese and Japanese cuisine, especially seafood dishes such as sushi and sashimi. Taiwan Beer has won international awards, including the International Monde Selection in 1977 and the Brewing Industry International Awards in 2002. Beer on tap is uncommon in Taiwan, and most places serve beer in bottles. For a special and rare treat, ask for the Taiwan Draft Beer (台灣生啤酒), which comes in a plain green bottle. This has a 2-week expiration, so it can only be found at the breweries (there are a few scattered around Taiwan) or at select stores and restaurants in the vicinity. === Tea and coffee === [[File:TimeForTea BubbleTea.JPG|thumb|Pearl milk tea and pudding milk tea, [[Chiayi]]]] Taiwan's specialty teas are '''High Mountain Oolong''' (高山烏龍, ''Gao-shan wulong''), a fragrant light tea, and '''Tie Guan-yin''' (鐵觀音), a dark, rich brew. Enjoying this tea, served in the traditional way using a very small teapot and tiny cups, is an experience you should not miss. This way of taking tea is called ''lao ren cha'' (老人茶), 'old people's tea', and the name is derived from the fact that only the elderly traditionally had the luxury of time to relax and enjoy tea in this way. Check the small print when visiting a traditional tea house though: in addition to the tea itself, you may be charged a cover (茶水費, literally "tea-water fee") for the elaborate process of preparing it and for any nibbles served on the side. One should also try '''Lei cha''' (擂茶; léi chá) a tasty and nourishing Hakka Chinese tea-based dish consisting of a mix ground tea leaves and rice. Some stores specialize in this product and allows one to grind their own lei cha. As with Chinese teas elsewhere, Chinese teas in Taiwan are always drunk neat, with the use of milk or sugar unknown. However, Taiwan is also the birthplace of pearl milk tea, which uses sugar and milk. '''Pearl milk tea''' (珍珠奶茶 ''zhēnzhū nǎichá''), aka "bubble tea" or "boba tea", is milky tea with chewy balls of tapioca added, drunk through an over-sized straw. Invented in Taiwan in the early 1980s and a huge Asia-wide craze in the 1990s, it's not quite as popular as it once was but can still be found at nearly every coffee or tea shop. Look for a shop where it is freshly made. There are two cafes that maintain rival claims to having invented the drink: '''[https://chunshuitang.com.tw/ Chun Shui Tang]''' (春水堂) in [[Taichung]] and '''[http://www.hanlin-tea.com.tw/ Hanlin Tea Room]''' (翰林茶館) in [[Tainan]]. The '''cafe culture''' has hit Taiwan in a big way, and in addition to an abundance of privately owned cafes, all the major chains, such as Starbucks, have a multitude of branches throughout major towns and cities. === Soft drinks === Taiwan is a great place for fruit drinks. Small fruit-juice bars make them fresh on the spot and are experts at creating fruit-juice cocktails (non-alcoholic, of course). ''zong-he'' (mixed) is usually a sweet and sour combination and ''mu-gwa niou-nai'' (木瓜牛奶) is iced papaya milk. If you don't want ice (though it is safe in Taiwan, even at road side vendors) say, ''chu bing'' (去冰) and no sugar (''wu tang'' (無糖)). '''Soy milk''', or ''doujiang'' (豆漿), is a great treat. Try it hot or cold. Savory soy milk is a traditional Taiwanese breakfast dish. It is somewhat of an acquired taste as vinegar is added to curdle the milk. Both sweet and savory soy milk are often ordered with you-tiao (油條), or deep fried dough crullers. There are a lot of pseudo health drinks in Taiwanese supermarkets and convenience stores. Look out for asparagus juice and lavender milk tea for example. == Sleep == [[File:GrandHotel Fountain.JPG|thumb|250px|The Grand Hotel, Taipei]] ===Types=== * For the budget-minded, there are '''hostels''' in Taipei and most other sizable cities. Some hostels are under table which mean they don't have valid license. * '''Motels''' (汽車旅館) can be easily found in suburbs of major cities. Despite the name, these have little if anything to do with the cheap functional hotels that use the name elsewhere; in Taiwan, motels are intended for '''romantic trysts''' and can be quite extravagant in decor and facilities. Many feature enormous baths with massage jets, separate massage showers, marble tiles, and so forth. Suites come with flat screen TVs and centrally controlled sound systems. During the daytime, most offer "rests" (休息) of a few hours, and indeed check-in times for overnight stays (住宿) can be as late at 22:00. [[Taichung]] is considered the motel-capital of Taiwan. * Taiwanese '''hotels''' range in quality from seedy to very luxurious. Despite the complexities of doing business with both mainland China and Taiwan, most Western hotel chains operate in Taiwan such as Sheraton, Westin and Hyatt. Also, there are plenty of five-star hotels around. Keep in mind, however, that many of the international hotels tend to be outrageously expensive, while comparable and much cheaper accommodation is usually available in the same vicinity. For example, the airport hotel at CKS International charges about three or four times as much as a hotel in Taoyuan which is a half hour cab ride away. Taxi drivers and tourist offices are invaluable resources for finding cheaper hotels. * A uniquely Taiwanese form of accommodation is known as the '''''minsu''''' (民宿), which is similar to Bed and Breakfast accommodation that you usually find in the UK. Although typically cheaper than hotels, the facilities can often be as good as those of some higher end hotels, and many are designed around a specific theme (like fairy tale castle, nature lodge) Accommodation at a minsu typically includes breakfast the next morning, and higher end ones sometimes also give you the option of having a home-cooked style dinner. The downside is that most minsu are either in residential suburbs or in the countryside, meaning that transportation is typically less convenient that at centrally located hotels, and the availability of wi-fi can be a hit or miss. In addition, most minsu advertise in Chinese only. * '''Camping''' does not seem to be an issue in Taiwan and is available in many areas, even in national parks like [[Kenting National Park]]. Although, in [[Taroko Gorge|Taroko Gorge (National Park)]] you will have to pay for the camp ground. In general, a small fees may apply at official camp grounds. Inquire with the local tourist information centre where it is possible to camp and where not. Also, be aware there are "poisonous snakes and wasps" signs all over the country. So, make sure you know where you are camping, and how to keep out "unwanted guests". Consult a map like [http://openpoimap.org/?map=hotels&zoom=14&lat=21.93964&lon=120.72386&layers=B00FFTFFFFFFFF OpenStreetMap], which many mobile Apps like [http://osmand.net/ OsmAnd], and [https://maps.me/ MAPS.ME], use, to find existing camp grounds or good locations. ===Remarks=== Nowadays, '''walk-ins''' are often more expensive that online bookings, especially with bigger hotels. It often seems, they cannot even beat their own online prices and you might need to book online instead of paying in cash on-sight&mdash;they will even courteously offer their WiFi for you to do that. Either way, it is advisable that you know what is the actual price online, which gives you a good bargaining ground. Sometimes they will quote a higher price, sometimes they will give you NT$50 less, but often it is just the online price. If you are still in need of a discount, send the ho(s)tel an email or WeChat/Line message quoting the online price. Some will give you 10 % discount on the online price this way, especially for same day short notice bookings. Generally, short notice bookings will give you a better price, since hotels are trying to sell their stock at a bargain price last-minute. However, do not try this for Saturday/Sunday or Holiday/Holiday bookings, this will leave you with bad or no options. Many hotels in Taiwan have both Chinese and Western names, which can differ radically. Find out and bring along the Chinese name (in Chinese characters), as locals will usually not be able to identify the English ones. Hotel beds in Taiwan are generally much harder than in the West because of the old Asian tradition to sleep on a wood board. Modern mattresses can be found in most hotels, but only in the most upscale Western style hotels will you find beds in a real western style. Many accommodations are not staffed 24/7, but they will leave a contact at their door. Often this will be a '''WeChat''' or '''Line''' contact, which are like WhatsApp. Thus, it makes sense to get these apps while travelling in Taiwan. Agoda seems to list more accommodation options than Booking for Taiwan. However, Agoda's way of claiming additional fees and stating dorm bed availability is a little dodgy. It often says "1 person in a dorm" but then "Occupancy: 2 adults". So, better to book each person separately just in case. Also, never choose the option to get charged in you credit card's home currency (€, US$, or so). This will give you a very bad exchange rate. Always select "TWD" as charged currency&mdash;in this case your home bank is indeed your friend. '''Or''' just get the displayed address/GPS, which is always fully displayed, and walk into the hotel. == Learn == Taiwan is home to several good universities, many of which have exchange agreements with various foreign universities, and these are a good way to experience life in Taiwan. The most prestigious university in Taiwan is the '''[https://www.ntu.edu.tw/english/ National Taiwan University]''' (國立臺灣大學). === Mandarin Chinese === Some universities in Taiwan have Chinese Promoting Programs (華語文推廣中心) that offers Chinese lessons to foreigners who wish to live in Taiwan or to learn Mandarin Chinese as their second or foreign language. The romanisation system taught here nowadays is Hanyu Pinyin (漢語拼音), whereas in the past they taught Zhuyin (注音), or BoPoMoFo (ㄅㄆㄇㄈ). The writing system taught is Traditional Chinese and the form of Mandarin is based on the Beijing dialect but the Taiwanese accent is quite noticeable. === [[Martial arts]] === There are many styles of '''kung fu''' (功夫) taught in Taiwan, largely by masters who came here with the Kuomintang in the late 1940s. Styles include Ba Gua (八卦), Tai Chi (太極), Wing Chun (詠春), Praying Mantis (螳螂), Shway (水) Shiao and various weapons systems. Many of the students are westerners in these classes, which has led to the rise of several [http://www.theallegra.com/ NHB Allegra] schools, and Brazilian Ju Jitsu, Russian Sambo, Japanese Aikido. Some of the more famous teachers will provide you with the paperwork needed to extend a student visa twice. Taekwondo is also extremely popular and is often a mandatory part of school children's physical education. == Work == [[File:Kaohsiung birdseyeview.jpg|thumb|Kaohsiung skyline]] The majority of travelers who work in Taiwan pick up temporary jobs [[teaching English]]. Jobs teaching other languages (mainly European or Japanese) do exist but have a much smaller proportion of the market. '''Job requirements''': In finding employment with a language school, experience, teaching qualifications and references are not required but obviously help. On paper, a big issue is also made about accents, with the North American English accent being heavily favored over British, Australian and South African accents in many language schools' sales marketing. However, in practice, many schools that advertise 'American English' and claim that their teachers are all from Canada or the USA, actually employ teachers from anywhere. Age is a factor, with applicants in their 20s seemingly being preferred. More than anything, appearance is probably the major factor in finding employment with most schools—Do you 'look Western'?—and reliability and turning up on time for work is then the major factor for keeping your job. Therefore, if you look the part, it is very easy to find a school willing to take you on for at least a few days. This 'look Western' point has quite a bearing. Unfortunately, Taiwan is hardly a great promoter of '''equal opportunities'''. In many schools there is a prejudice against teachers applying for jobs who are not of white appearance, seen as the typical Western appearance in Asian countries. This is independent of whether or not the teacher has relevant teaching ability and citizenship of one of the permitted ARC countries. Many parents who send their children to schools to be taught English expect the teacher to look like they are from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Australia, and so on, and so the decision on the part of the school managers is mainly about economics. For those affected by this, it's a sad fact of Taiwan that is unlikely to change in the near future. Good employers without such prejudiced requirements do exist, but greater perseverance is needed when looking for them. It is illegal to work without a '''work permit''' and an ARC (or Alien Residency Permit), and legal work requires a university degree and usually a long (over two month) application process. Alternatively, if you have a lot of money, you can obtain an '''investor visa''' by investing a large sum of money in a local business, which allows you to work for that company in a management capacity. However, illegal employment is easy to find with many school managers being willing to pay under the table for short durations. If caught or reported, you risk criminal charges and could be deported. The government tends to waver from being very lax on this issue under one administration to suddenly taking action under the next; but it only takes one disgruntled student to report you and have you fined and deported. Consider your options carefully! The '''rules for getting an ARC''' do change often and each administrative part of Taiwan has its own ways of handling them, so it is best to check the pages of the [http://www.forumosa.com/taiwan/index.php website Forumosa] and find out what the experiences of others are in your area. Keep in mind, that you can only get an ARC for English teaching if you are a 'citizen of a native English speaking country'. Taiwan's government defines these countries to be only the U.S., Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and South Africa. Almost all teachers apply for an ARC through their employers only after starting work and it is tied to their ongoing employment with that school. Therefore, if the teacher wishes to leave their employment, they will have to quickly find an alternative employer or lose their ARC and hence be required to leave Taiwan. Also, very few schools will arrange an ARC without at least a year-long contract being signed. Frankly, with all this inflexibility, it's no wonder so many teachers opt for the non-legal route. That and tax evasion. Citizens of Germany, Australia, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Ireland and Canada aged 18–30 can apply for a '''working holiday visa'''. For more information, visit the [http://www.boca.gov.tw/lp.asp?ctNode=783&CtUnit=80&BaseDSD=7&mp=2 Bureau of Consular Affairs website]. After living in Taiwan continuously for 5 years, you may apply for '''permanent residency'''. If granted, it allows you to live and work in Taiwan indefinitely without restrictions. A lot of the illegal teaching work that the majority of English teachers partake in is simply through '''private student''' tuition with payment being cash-in-hand. You can find a lot of private students around universities that have a Chinese-teaching department—look for the areas where all the foreign students are and check the noticeboards. Because the majority of adult private students want to practice English conversation, you won't need to have any Chinese ability. However, it is definitely a selling point and, if you do have Chinese-speaking ability, it's worthwhile mentioning that in any advertising of your services. Also, once you have some regular students, remember that in Taiwan, as in most Asian countries, 'connections' or 'guanxi' are very important. If your students like you, they will in all likelihood recommend you to their family and friends. Teaching English in Taiwan can be lucrative, as the '''salaries''' are very high compared to the cost of living, typically ranging NT$500-650 per hour before deductions in most language schools, with anything between NT$500-1,000 per hour being negotiable for private students. In the past few years, the flow of would-be teachers into Taiwan has increased dramatically, resulting in stiffer competition for jobs and a general drop in wages, and this trend may continue. Employers of English teachers are notorious for racial discrimination. White people are much more likely to get better offers than those of other races, regardless of ability. Aside from English-teaching, '''other common kinds of employment''' available for mainly native English-speaking travellers include such tid-bits as small acting parts for TV and film, voice talent (video games, dubbing tracks, etc.), editing and even writing educational materials. Many of these jobs are advertised on billboards in Chinese language-teaching institutes and universities, where there are likely to be many foreign students. If after travelling and living there, you find you are '''serious about working in Taiwan''', the most lucrative employment to be had is if you are employed by a multinational company, perhaps in a high-paying country like the UK, U.S. or Australia, and you are sent across to their office in Taiwan. Many foreigners end up doing the same job as their colleagues who were employed in the Taiwan office, but for perhaps 3 or 4 times their pay. == Stay safe == {{warningbox|'''Taiwan treats drug offenses ''extremely'' severely.''' The '''death penalty is mandatory''' for those convicted of trafficking, manufacturing, importing or exporting more than 15 g of heroin, 30 g of morphine, 30 g of cocaine, 500 g of cannabis, 200 g of cannabis resin and 1.2 kg of opium, and possession of these quantities is all that is needed for you to be convicted. Unauthorized consumption can result in up to 10 years' jail, or a heavy fine, or both. You can be charged for unauthorized consumption as long as traces of illicit drugs are found in your system, even if you can prove that they were consumed outside the country and you can be charged for trafficking as long as drugs are found in bags that are in your possession or in your room, even if they aren't yours and regardless of whether you're aware of them. Therefore, be vigilant of your possessions.}} === Crime === [[File:CKS Airport drugs sign.JPG|thumb|A sign at the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport warns arriving travellers that drug trafficking is a capital offense in the country.]] Taiwan is very safe for tourists, even for women walking down the street alone at night. This is not to say, however, that there is no crime, and you should always exercise caution. In crowded areas such as night markets or festivals, for example, [[pickpockets]] are a known problem. However, it is fair to say that the streets of Taiwan are generally very safe and that violent crime and muggings are very rare. In addition, it is also very unusual to see drunks on the street, day or night. Like anywhere else in the world, women should be cautious when taking taxis alone late at night. Although they are generally safe, it's a good idea to arrange to have a friend call you when you get home and to be seen making the arrangements for this by the cab driver. It also helps if a friend sees you being picked up as taxis have visible license numbers. As an additional safety precaution, tell taxi drivers just the street name and section instead of your exact address. [[File:RPO First Police Section Taoyaun Police Station in Taoyuan Station.jpg|thumb|A police station in Taiwan]] Police departments in most jurisdictions have a Foreign Affairs Police unit staffed by English-speaking officers. When reporting a major crime, it is advisable to contact the Foreign Affairs unit in addition to officers at the local precinct. Police stations are marked with a red light above the door and display a sign with the word "Police" clearly printed in English. For more information see the [http://www.npa.gov.tw National Police Agency website ]. Foreign victims of a major crime in Taiwan are also advised to report the matter to their government's representative office in Taipei. Also, remember that you call 110 for police in Taiwan, and 119 for fire department or medical help. Most of the public telephone booths allow you to call 110 or 119 for free. See "Emergency Phone Numbers" section below. Taiwan is home to many triads (Chinese organized crime syndicates), although they almost never target the average person in the street, and most tourists will not encounter them. Many operate human trafficking rings involving the sale of poor women from Southeast Asia into sex slavery that the government has struggled to tackle. They are also often involved in illegal betting and loansharking, so it is best to be prudent and avoid these. ===Military exercises=== [[File:20160225 台東縣政新聞 萬安39號演習25日下午實施 9ebfd80f-d8a3-4444-8eca-58d3473dff15.jpg|thumb|Evacuated streets during Wan-an Exercise.]] The Taiwanese military organizes regular civil-defense exercise, known as Wan-an Exercise (萬安演習). Air raid sirens are activated for 30 minutes during the exercise, and you are required to follow any evacuation orders made by the military and police. *If you are in a building, you should close all windows and doors and turn off lights. *If you are driving, you must '''pull over your vehicle and make a complete stop'''. Vehicles must not enter any motorways, but must leave the motorway and pull over your vehicle in exits. Traffic police will give proper instructions to drivers and regulate traffic flow. *If you are taking a train/metro, you must not enter the train or leave the station, and should follow evacuation orders given by railway staff, the military and the police. Failure to comply with instructions can result in a heavy fine. === Emergency phone numbers === * '''Police''': 110 *'''Fire/Ambulance''': 119 The police and fire/ambulance offer service in English. For those who need Taiwanese governmental assistance in English, [https://www.immigration.gov.tw/5475/5478/6928/6940/ this website] has a 24-hour toll-free foreigner service hotline at 0800-024-111, which you may call for assistance. === Natural hazards === Taiwan often experiences '''[[Cyclones|typhoons]]''' (颱風) during the summer months and early fall, especially on the East Coast. Heavy monsoon rainfall also occurs during the summer. Hikers and mountaineers should be sure to consult weather reports before heading into the mountains. A major hazard following heavy rainfall in the mountains is falling rocks (土石流) caused by the softening of the earth and there are occasional reports of people being killed or injured by these. Taiwan is also on the Pacific Ring of Fire, which means that '''[[earthquakes]]''' are a common occurrence. Most earthquakes are barely noticeable, though the effect may be slightly amplified for those in higher buildings. While the local building codes are extremely strict, general precautions should still be observed during an earthquake, including opening the door to prevent it from being jammed, taking cover and checking for gas leaks afterwards. While most newer buildings have been built according to strict codes that enable them to withstand major earthquakes, some of the older buildings were not constructed to such high standards and therefore are vulnerable to serious damage or collapse in the case of a strong tremor. Taiwan's wild areas are home to a variety of '''poisonous snakes''', including the bamboo viper, Russel's viper, banded krait, coral snake, Chinese cobra, Taiwan habu, and the so-called "hundred pacer" (百步蛇). Precautions against snake bites include making plenty of noise as you hike, wearing long trousers and avoiding overgrown trails. Most snakes are scared of humans, so if you make noise you will give them time to get away. Walking quietly means that you may suddenly startle them around a corner when you appear, and trigger an attack. The Russel's viper, one of the most dangerous snakes in Taiwan, is an exception: it generally prefers to take a stand against threats. === Traffic === Local drivers have a well-deserved reputation for seeming reckless and downright immoral. It is possible (even normal) to obtain a driving license in Taiwan without ever having driven on the roads, and this may be a reason (along with the overcrowded roads) why courteous or defensive driving is definitely not the norm. The guiding principles seem to be that the right of way belongs to the larger vehicle, i.e. trucks have the right-of-way over cars, cars over motorcycles, motorcycles over people, etc. Despite traffic's chaotic appearance, it is viscerally intuitive to yield the right-of-way to a much larger vehicle barreling towards you. It is advisable to use slow and smooth movements over quick or sudden ones. Local drivers regularly cut in front of moving traffic into spaces that seem too small, try to change lanes regardless of the fact their destination is already full, etc. Be aware that during busy traffic (i.e., nearly always) two-lane roads will spontaneously become three-lane, an orange light will be interpreted as 'speed up', and the smallest moment's pause in oncoming traffic will result in ''everybody'' that's waiting trying to turn across it. Drivers routinely enter a junction when their exit is blocked, and are therefore frequently still there long after the lights change, blocking traffic traveling in other directions. Many motorcycle riders also have a tendency to zip through any space, no matter how tiny. Also be aware that motorcycles often travel through areas typically considered pedestrian-only spaces, like the night-markets. If you drive a car or a motorcycle, the obvious rule is that if someone turns in front of you, you should be the one to adapt. To avoid collisions, drivers need to be extremely vigilant for other vehicles creating hazards and always be willing to adjust speed or direction to accommodate. Do not expect drivers to yield way, or respect traffic lights in many areas, especially in central and southern Taiwan. Sounding the horn is the usual way a Taiwanese driver indicates that they do not intend to accommodate a driver trying to encroach on their lane, etc., and does not necessarily imply the anger or criticism, as it does in other countries. One bright side of Taiwan's chaotic traffic is that drivers tend to have an exceptional awareness of the spatial extents of their vehicle and maneuver well, so that even though it continuously looks like somebody is about to drive straight into you, it's relatively rare that they actually do so. Be extra careful when crossing the road, even to the extent of looking both ways on a one-way street. When crossing at a pedestrian crossing at a T-junction or crossroads, be aware that when the little green man lights up and you start crossing, motorists will still try to turn right, with or without a green feeder light. Even on roads where traffic is infrequent and the green light is in your favor, bike riders are still strongly advised to check the opposite lane. ===Homosexuality=== Taiwan is generally a safe destination for gay and lesbian travellers. There are no laws against homosexuality in Taiwan and unprovoked violence against gays and lesbians is almost unheard of. Same-sex marriage was legalised in Taiwan on 24 May 2019, making it the first Asian country to do so. Taiwan is also the first East Asian country to have enacted anti-discrimination laws on the basis of sexual orientation in the areas of education and employment. There is an annual gay pride event called Taiwan Pride. Taipei is home to a vibrant gay scene, and there are also gay bars in some of Taiwan's other cities like Taichung and Kaohsiung. Acceptance among the Taiwanese public tends to be measured, and homosexuality is still considered to be somewhat of a social taboo, particularly by the older generation. Openly displaying your sexual orientation in public is likely to draw stares and whispers from some people. Nevertheless, attitudes are changing and homosexuality tends to be more accepted by the younger people. ===Dogs=== They can be a problem in remote and rural regions, although they are far less numerous than in Thailand and Myanmar. If they get too close to you, picking up a stone or having a big stick is usually a sufficient deterrent. Taiwanese Aboriginals hold dogs in higher regard than Han Chinese do. Many Aboriginal communities have dogs freely running around their communities. == Stay healthy == ===Pollution=== Air pollution can be significant with the highest ratio of scooters per person in the world and a high west coast urban density. You can check air quality real time monitoring [https://airtw.epa.gov.tw/ENG/default.aspx on this page]. For reference the USA standard for fine particles (PM2.5) over 24 hours should be below 35&nbsp;µg/m³. It is a good idea to use a mask that can filter fine particles ([http://aqicn.org/mask/ how to choose a mask]), especially when traveling with the elderly or children. === Water === '''[[Water]]''' quality in Taiwan varies depending on location and time. According to the sole water company of Taiwan, tap water is in general safe to drink. However, it is advised that drinking water be boiled in order to eliminate residual chlorine and bacteria. Taiwan is prone to typhoons and earthquakes, which adversely affects water quality. Some buildings, particularly older ones, may have poorly maintained water towers and/or pipes, resulting in poor quality that is beyond the control of the water company. Depending on the severity, one might either filter the water in addition to boiling or avoid the taps altogether. Alternative options include buying bottled water or going to a "water station" where water is sold through a metered tap. Water from these sources is licensed to be safe for drinking. Bottled water can be bought in 24 hour convenience stores. Water quality in Kaohsiung used to be very poor. As a result, most people today use alternative sources. However, there is little evidence that this is necessary today as the quality has improved drastically. In addition, the mentioned alternative sources today are mostly filtered tap water and do not circumvent the historical source of contamination. === Healthcare === Medicines are available for minor ailments at drug stores. You may also find common drugs requiring a prescription in the west (like asthma inhalers and birth control pills) cheaply available from drug stores without a prescription. Taiwan has both Chinese physicians and Western doctors, both of which are taken equally seriously. However, as a foreigner, the assumption would generally be to direct you to a Western doctor. The quality of the hospitals in Taiwan is excellent and on par with, if not better than those found in the West. Taiwan's healthcare system is considered to be one of the best in the world. Legal residents with a National Health Card can avail themselves of the very convenient and efficient national health service, which covers treatment and medication using both Western and traditional Chinese medicine. However, this service is not available to short term visitors on tourist visas; nor does it cover major hospitalization expenses. Still, hospital visits and medicine in Taiwan tends to be far less expensive than in Western countries. Most Taiwanese doctors are able to communicate in at least basic English, and in fact, many of the top ones have obtained their medical qualifications in the US and are able to speak English fluently. However, you may find the nurses to be more of a challenge. === Hiking === Watch out for mosquito bites when hiking in the mountains. Especially in the summer, the humid and hot weather makes mosquitos very active. Most mosquito bites only cause skin irritation and itching, but in some areas of Taiwan it's possible to contract [[dengue fever]] or Japanese Encephalitis (though they are both rare in Taiwan). Mosquito/insect repellent spray can be found at convenience stores (such as 7-Eleven and FamilyMart) and local pharmacies. If you are bitten by mosquitos, apply a small amount of ointment for irritation relief. == Respect == The Taiwanese are generally a warm and polite people, having been strongly influenced by Confucianism. As Taiwanese culture places a strong emphasis on respect for elders, elderly visitors will find most Taiwanese to be very helpful and accommodating. Naming customs and modes of address are generally the same as in mainland China. See the [[China#Respect|Respect]] section of that article for details. === Culture === [[File:Pagode Kaohsiung amk.jpg|thumb|Pagoda in Kaohsiung]] Taiwan shares several cultural taboos/guidelines with other East Asian nations: * When giving and receiving business cards, always do it using ''both hands'' and with a slight bow of the head. Giving or receiving a business card with only one hand is very disrespectful. * Some Taiwanese are superstitious about anything connected with dying &ndash; unlucky things should never be mentioned. The number 4 (four, pronounced 'si') sounds like the word for death in Mandarin. * Do not write people's names in red. This again has connotations of death. When writing someone's English name, this is not a problem, but avoid writing Chinese names in red. * Do not whistle or ring a bell at night. This is an "invitation to ghosts". * Do not point at cemeteries or graves. This is disrespectful to the dead. * There are numerous taboos dictating that certain objects shouldn't be given to others, often because the word for that object sounds like another unfortunate word: ** Clocks. The phrase "to give a clock" ("song zhong"), in Mandarin, has the same sound as the word "to perform last rites." If you do give someone a clock, the recipient may give you a coin in return to dispel the curse. ** Shoes. Never ever offer shoes as a gift to old people, as it signifies sending them on their way to heaven. This is acceptable only if by mutual arrangement it is nominally sold, where the receiving party gives a small payment of about NT$10. ** Knives or sharp objects, as they are made for or could be used to hurt the person. ** Umbrellas, which in Mandarin sound the same as the word for "break up". Friends should therefore never give friends umbrellas. Instead, friends will euphemistically "rent" each other umbrellas for a tiny amount (NT$1, for example). * The Taiwanese are certainly not puritanical and enjoy a drink, especially the locally brewed Taiwan Beer and Kaoliang. However, Taiwan does not have a culture of heavy drinking like in Northern China and it is rare to see anyone drunk on the streets. While over indulging in alcohol is not a social taboo as such (and some people do so at weddings), it is considered a sign of lack of self-confidence and immaturity, and doing so certainly won't gain you any respect among Taiwanese friends. * You are expected to remove your shoes before entering a house. You will find some slippers to be worn by visitors next to the entrance door. It is likely to be the same ritual for bathrooms and balconies where you will be expected to remove your slippers to wear a pair of plastic sandals (though it is less shocking not to use the sandals by then). * As you will get along with Taiwanese people, you are very likely to receive small presents of any sort, such as drinks, food or little objects. These are a very convenient way to lubricate social relations for Taiwanese people, and are especially common between friends in their 20s. You should reciprocate any such presents with something similar, but it does not need to be immediate or specially tailored to that person (i.e., keep it simple). As a teacher you are not expected to offer anything in return, as long as the relationship stays formal. However, beware of the sometimes overly generous parents who can go as far as offering presents running in the thousands of NT$ and who will then expect you to take special care of their child (understand that their expectations will be considered fair in Taiwanese culture). * You are not expected to tip in hotels, restaurants and taxis, though bellhops may still expect NT$50 or so for carrying your luggage. * Much like the mainland Chinese, "saving face" is also a major value in Taiwanese culture. In general, you should avoid pointing out other people's mistakes in order to avoid causing major embarrassment and if you really have to, call the person to one side and do it in private, and try to do it in a polished manner. * If you should need to use a temple's washroom, bow to any statues of deities you see on the way whether or not you believe in them. While most people will not mind you using the temple's washroom, they expect you to treat their place of worship with respect. If you plan to offer gifts (such as simple fruits) to the statues of deities in the temple, it is expected that you wash the fruits and your hands prior to offering. In addition, upon entering and leaving a temple, do take and avoid stepping directly on the raised threshold: always try to step over it. You should also never point to the status of deities with your index finger; use your thumb or an up-facing open palm instead. * You will often see '''priority seats''' (博愛座) on public transportation in Taiwan. These are reserved for the elderly, disabled people, pregnant women and women carrying young children; do not sit in them unless one of those situations applies to you. * '''Cultural identity''' is a complex and sensitive issue in Taiwan. While most Taiwanese people are ethnically Chinese, many people, especially the youth, seek to distance themselves from China with a distinct Taiwanese identity, and will often emphasize their Japanese colonial heritage instead. === Religion === Most Taiwanese people follow a mix of traditional Chinese folk religions and Buddhism, and it is common to visit temples to offer prayers during important festivals or life events. That said, contemporary Taiwanese society is largely secular in daily life, and religion in general does not play a significant role in people's work or political affiliations. Nevertheless, you are still expected to dress and behave respectfully when visiting temples. As in other Asian countries, swastikas are commonly seen in Buddhist temples as a religious symbol. They emphatically do ''not'' represent Nazism or anti-Semitism. When visiting temples, be sure to enter using the right gate and exit using the left gate (facing inwards). The larger middle gate is traditionally reserved for deities and the Emperor of China. Also be sure to avoid pointing at the statues of deities with your index figure, as it is considered to be very disrespectful. Use your thumb or an up-facing open palm instead. The most popular traditional Chinese deity in Taiwan is Mazu, a Fujianese shamaness who is believed to have ascended to godhood and now protects sailors, as the Fujianese were largely a seafaring people. [[Christianity]] is the dominant religion among the Aboriginal people, with Presbyterianism and Roman Catholicism being the main denominations. There is also a significant Christian minority among the ethnic Chinese. Taiwanese people are generally tolerant of different religions, and people of all faiths can usually practice their religion without any major problems. The Falun Gong religion which is banned in mainland China is allowed in Taiwan, though attitudes towards them from the local Taiwanese people tend to be very mixed. === Politics === Taiwanese society is rather polarized by allegiance between supporters of the two major political blocs informally known as "Pan-Blue Coalition" and "Pan-Green Coalition", although there are large numbers of people who are either centrist or who don't care. To simplify a very complex situation, pan-blue supporters tend to be more favorable toward the idea of reunification or maintaining the status quo with China and pan-green supporters tend to be more favorable toward the idea of establishing a formally independent Taiwan state, among other differences. Although there are some correlations, it is highly unwise to assume anything about a particular person's political beliefs based on what you think you know about their background. Also, this very brief sketch of Taiwanese politics obscures a large amount of complexity. Traditionally, mainlanders, Aboriginal people, Hakka people and people from Kinmen and Matsu tended to be strongly pan-blue, while Taiwanese speakers from Central and Southern Taiwan tended to be strongly pan-green, though this distinction has largely disappeared among the younger generation, who are now overwhelmingly pro-independence. Unless you know your listener well, it is unwise to say anything (either positive or negative) about the current government, about historical figures in Taiwanese history, about Taiwan's international relations, or about relations with mainland China. Some political figures such as Sun Yat-sen (who is also popular in the PRC and with the Chinese government) and Chiang Ching-kuo are generally seen positively, but others (Chiang Kai-shek, Lee Teng-hui and Chen Shui-bian in particular) arouse very polarized feelings. Some Taiwanese will get very offended if you imply that Taiwan is part of China. Others will get very offended if you imply that Taiwan is not part of China. Referring to the PRC as "mainland China" (中國大陸 ''zhōngguó dàlù'') rather than simply China will tend not to offend anyone, as the term is generally used to exclude Hong Kong and Macau as well, making it less subjective. Referring to the Republic of China as a whole as "Taiwan Province" will draw a negative reaction from most Taiwanese. "Greater China" may be used in certain business contexts. Keep in mind, however, that there are so many subtleties and complexities here that if you are talking about these things, you've already wandered into a minefield. However, simply referring to the island as "Taiwan" is fine, as that is the name used by the locals, regardless of their political persuasion. Titles such as "Republic of China" are reserved for official matters only. People from Kinmen and Matsu do not identify as Taiwanese and instead identify as Kinmenese/Matsunese or simply Chinese. '''Relations with mainland China''', as well as the '''Hong Kong protests''', are sensitive issues; tread carefully on these topics. Despite the deep mistrust many Taiwanese have of the communist Chinese government, most locals bear little to no animosity towards individual mainland Chinese visitors. As long as you avoid political discussions and behave yourself properly, you should not run into any problems. ===Japanese occupation=== In contrast to other Asian countries, Taiwanese feelings towards the Japanese occupation (1895-1945) are generally positive, though there are exceptions. Some of the older people who lived through the period of Japanese rule often bear a certain degree of nostalgia for that time, although there was strong resistance, and massacres of both Chinese and Aboriginal people were carried out throughout the occupation. Nevertheless, many Taiwanese bear a sense of gratitude towards the Japanese for modernizing Taiwan, and many people who lived through both periods regard Japanese rule more favorably than the subsequent Kuomintang rule under Chiang Kai-shek. Japanese visitors can expect a particularly warm welcome as most Taiwanese admire Japanese culture, and modern Taiwanese culture continues to be heavily influenced by that of Japan. In particular, many shops and tourist attractions are based on a theme of colonial nostalgia. == Connect == ===Internet=== ====''iTaiwan''==== Introduced in the mid-2010s, this is Taiwan's free, convenient and widespread WiFi, and answer to today's mobile-dependent population. ''iTaiwan'' is available all over Taiwan, (according to marketing) in all the 7 biggest cities, but at least all over Taipei, Tainan and Taitung, at all railway/MRT stations (even at the smallest) and most bus stations all over the country, as well as in most tourist information centres. Where it is not available, there exist related WiFis that offer an ''iTaiwan'' login option, or there are other independent but free options like ''.1.Free Wi-Fi'' that require clicking an advertisement to get online. As a foreigner, you have to apply for access at a tourist information centre using your passport. The login is the passport number and the password is your birthday in ''YYYYMMDD'' form. At some free WiFi spots, like in railway stations, there is a power and USB plug to charge your electronic devices. ====SIM cards==== If you want an Internet connection to your smartphone, you can purchase a prepaid 4G unlimited data sim card from Chunghwa Telecom at a cost of NT$300 for 3 days, or NT$500 for 7 days (other periods are available as well). Just walk into any official Chunghwa Telecom shop to apply (also at all international airports). They need your passport and identification documents of your country of origin, driving license or identification card. Other providers in the market are Taiwan Mobile, FarEasTone, T-Star, and GT. Their pricing is largely the same for visitor plans as Chunghwa Telecom, however they do offer special promotions on their standard prepaid plans from time to time, and for travelers continuing elsewhere after Taiwan, FarEasTone and GT offer a lineup of reasonably priced "travel SIMs" for travel around Asia, Europe, and North America, while Taiwan Mobile offers flat-rate international data roaming on its standard prepaid SIMs. Importantly, if continuing on to mainland China later, these travel SIMs or Taiwan Mobile's roaming plans do not censor data there as a local SIM would. ====Restaurants, cafés, etc.==== Most in-house eateries, shopping centres, libraries and such have free WiFi for their customers available. ====Gaming cafés==== Not that relevant and widespread anymore, Internet cafés aka gaming cafés. These are often found on the first or second floor of buildings and equipped with very comfortable chairs and large screens. Although people do surf the Internet, most people primarily go there for a smooth experience of online gaming. Each hour of Internet access/game play is cheap, coming in at around NT$20. Some machines in the Internet cafés are coin operated. === Telephone === [[File:Payphones of Taiwan Fixed Network at THSR Taichung Station 20070105.jpg|thumb|Payphones in [[Taichung]]]] The standard prefix for international calls from Taiwan is 002, though some other companies may use alternative prefixes at lower rates. Check with your telecom operator for more details. Calls to mainland China, Hong Kong or Macau require international dialling. The country code for calls to Taiwan is +886. Most payphones work with telephone cards (電話卡) which are available at all convenience stores. Numbers Starting With 0800 are commercial toll-free numbers, just like the 1-800 numbers in North America. '''Mobile phone''' coverage is generally excellent in Taiwan, with the exception of some remote mountainous areas. Among the major providers are Chunghwa Telecom (中華電信), Taiwan Mobile (台灣大哥大), Far EasTone (遠傳電信) and Taiwan Star Telecom (台灣之星). Taiwan has both 3G (UMTS/W-CDMA 2100) and 4G (LTE) networks and inbound roaming agreements are in place between most international providers and at least one of these four (but check with your operator before departure). The last 2G networks were shut down in July 2017. The internationally popular messaging app Whatsapp is not popular in Taiwan. Most Taiwanese use the Japanese messaging app '''[https://line.me/en/ LINE]''' instead. === Media === Taiwan has a very free and liberal press. Taiwan's main newspapers are the Chinese-language ''[https://www.ltn.com.tw/ Liberty Times]'' (自由時報), ''[https://tw.appledaily.com/ Apple Daily]'' (蘋果日報), ''[https://www.chinatimes.com/ China Times]'' (中國時報) and ''[http://udn.com/ United Daily News]'' (聯合報). The ''[https://money.udn.com Economic Daily News]'' (經濟日報) and ''[https://ctee.com.tw/ Commercial Times]'' (工商時報) focus on financial and business news. The main English-language newspapers are ''[http://chinapost.nownews.com The China Post]'' and ''[http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/ Taipei Times]''. A third newspaper in English, ''[http://etaiwannews.com/ Taiwan News]'' (formerly ''China News''), is no longer available in print but continues to exist online.

The programming consists mostly of popular music. There are news bulletins every hour on the hour 07:00–20:00 M–F and 10:00–18:00 on Sa. ===Printing=== Every 7-Eleven and Familymart has cloud printers available for printing documents and even pictures. But for the latter you might be better off with a professional shop. The instructions are in Chinese or English. Costs: NT$1 per document page, plus NT$1 processing fee. == Cope == ===Electricity=== For electrical sockets, Taiwan uses the same Type A two-pin and Type B three-pin electrical sockets as the United States. Electricity is supplied at 110 V at 60 Hz. === Embassies and foreign missions === ''See [[Taipei#Cope|Cope section]] in [[Taipei]] guide'' {{usablecountry}} {{isPartOf|East Asia}} {{geo|23.76|120.97|zoom=7}} spgbeqqcux0h0iq3f7uin0y7fmb3vdu 4495993 4495864 2022-08-06T08:27:23Z SHB2000 2248002 Taiwan uses American English wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner | Formasa Station Banner.jpg}} {{COVID-19 box|Restrictions have been implemented throughout Taiwan due to a surge in COVID cases.

The island is officially known as and governed by the '''Republic of China''' (中華民國 ''Zhōnghuá Mínguó'') or '''ROC'''. Shaped roughly like a sweet potato, the nation is home to more than 23 million people and is one of the most densely populated places in the world. Besides its crowded cities, Taiwan is also known for steep mountains and lush forests. Although most of the population is ethnically Chinese, the legacy of Japanese colonial rule still pervades much of Taiwanese life, and there is also indigenous Austronesian culture to explore for the truly intrepid traveler. {{disclaimerbox|While the political status of Taiwan is a controversial and sensitive issue, from a traveler's point of view, Taiwan is under the ''de facto'' control of a different government from mainland China, and in practice operates as a separate country.

Lala. == Understand == {{quickbar|location=LocationROC.png}} Taiwan is home to a large number of impressive scenic sites, and Taipei is a cultural center of entertainment and leisure activities. The island is also a center of Chinese-language pop culture with a substantial entertainment industry. Japanese and an increasing number of mainland Chinese enjoy taking short trips to Taiwan and enjoy its neighborly hospitality. Taiwan is home to some well-known international companies such as Acer, MSI, Asus, HTC, and Giant Bicycles, whose technologies are some of the most advanced in the world. === History === {{seealso|Imperial China|Chinese Revolutions|Japanese colonial empire|Pacific War}} Taiwan was first populated 30,000 years ago by an Australo-Melanesian group known as the Negrito. The Negrito were eventually assimilated and displaced 5,000 years ago by Proto-Austronesians who arrived from the east coast of mainland China, predominantly from what is now Fujian province. Due to linguistic diversity on Taiwan, these people have been suggested to be the ancestors of [[Austronesian]] speakers across Southeast Asia, the Pacific and even Madagascar. Recorded history began with the partial colonization of Taiwan by the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] and then the Portuguese in the early 17th century. (The old name of Taiwan, ''Formosa'', comes from the Portuguese ''Ilha Formosa'' for "beautiful island".) Han Chinese immigrants arrived in significant numbers with the onset of European trade. The Ming loyalist Koxinga defeated the Dutch garrisons and set up Taiwan as a rump Ming Empire with the hope of reconquering Qing China. His grandson surrendered to the Qing in the late 1600s. Although contact between China and Taiwan dates back thousands of years, it was not until larger numbers of ethnic Han residents arrived during the Qing dynasty that Taiwan was formally integrated into China as part of Hokkien (Fujian) province. It became a separate province in 1887. The years of Han Chinese settlement during the Qing Dynasty were marred by conflict between the Han settlers and the Aboriginal people, between the Minnan and Hakka speakers among the Han settlers, and between the [[Quanzhou]] and [[Zhangzhou]] immigrants among the Minnan speakers. All these resulted in Minnan speakers largely occupying the fertile lowlands along the coast, the Hakkas being forced to occupy the middle elevations in the mountains, and the Aboriginal people being forced to higher elevations in the mountains and the more typhoon-prone east coast. Defeated by the Japanese, the Qing Empire ceded Taiwan to [[Japan]] under the terms of the treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895. Japan ruled the island until the end of World War II in 1945, and exerted profound influences on its development. The island's entertainment and pop culture was and still is heavily influenced by that of Japan. Much of the infrastructure built by the Japanese can still be seen on the island, and has been in fact continuously used up to the present day (e.g. railroad crossing gates, administrative buildings, and the old port at Kaohsiung). During [[Pacific War|World War II]], many Taiwanese, both Aboriginal and Han Chinese, served in the Imperial Japanese Army, many of whom have been enshrined in the controversial [[Tokyo/Chiyoda#Yasukini Shrine|Yasukuni Shrine]] in [[Tokyo]]. Like their counterparts in [[Korea]] and other occupied territories, many Taiwanese women were forced to serve as "comfort women" (i.e. sex slaves) in Japanese military brothels. Upon the resumption of Chinese rule, the ''Kuomintang'' (KMT, 國民黨) under Chiang Kai-shek, also known as the Nationalists, was suspicious of many of the locals in Taiwan, due to the fact that many Taiwanese had served in the Japanese military and civil service during World War II. Moreover, as the Japanese had sought to turn Taiwan into a model colony, despite having been discriminated against, many locals had seen their standards of living improve under Japanese rule, and were disillusioned by the corruption and incompetence that plagued the Kuomintang at that time. Tensions between the new Kuomintang government and the locals culminated in the '''228 incident''' on 28th February 1947, when many locals revolted against Chinese rule, and the Kuomintang responded with a brutal crackdown, resulting in thousands of people being killed, and purging many of the Japanese-educated intellectuals in the process. Taiwan would also be placed under martial law following the incident, which would only be lifted in 1987. Discussion of the incident was banned under the years of martial law, but was brought back to the fore once again following democratization in the 1990s, and the incident remains a key impetus behind the Taiwan independence movement to this day. [[File:Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in 2002.jpg|thumb|350px|National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall]] In the early 20th century, the Nationalists and Communists fought a major bloody civil war in mainland China. Although the two sides were briefly united against Japan during World War II, they quickly began fighting again after the war was over. Eventually, the Communists were victorious in 1949. The Nationalist government, remnants of their army, and hundreds of thousands of supporters then fled to Taiwan, though they would also retain control of several offshore islands of Fujian. From Taipei, they continued to assert their right as the sole legitimate government of all China. Initially very repressive, the government began to loosen control in its fourth decade under the leadership of Chiang Kai-shek's son, Chiang Ching-kuo. Taiwan also experienced rapid economic growth and modernisation under the leadership of Chiang Ching-kuo, becoming one of the world's richest and most modern economies and earning it a place as one of the East Asian Tigers. Today, Taiwan is generally regarded as a modern, developed economy, and still remains a leader in consumer electronics that is home to well-known computer brands such as Acer, Asus, Garmin, Gigabyte and HTC. Democratization began in earnest through the 1980s and 1990s, culminating with the first direct presidential elections in 1996, and the first peaceful transition of power between two political parties in 2000. Taiwanese politics remain dominated by the issue of relations between Taiwan and the [[China|People's Republic of China]], which still claims Taiwan as a "renegade province" and regularly threatens military action if Taiwan attempts to break away from the awkward '''One China''' status quo, whereby both sides agree that there is only one Chinese nation, but disagree on whether that one nation should be governed by the PRC or the ROC. To summarize a ''very'' complex situation, the '''Pan-Blue''' (泛藍) group spearheaded by the KMT supports eventual unification with the mainland when the political climate is right, while the '''Pan-Green''' (泛綠) group led by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) supports eventual formal independence under the name "Republic of Taiwan". The split extends down to trivial issues like Chinese romanization &mdash; the KMT prefers the mainland's ''Hanyu pinyin'', the DPP prefers a Taiwan-made variant called ''Tongyong pinyin'' &mdash; and political demonstrations and rallies, always turbulent, on occasion even turn violent. In 2014, the '''Sunflower Movement''' was formed in opposition to deepening trade relations between Taiwan and mainland China that was being pursued by the then-KMT government. Although mainland China has been Taiwan's most important trading partner since 2008, many Taiwanese were fearful that deepening economic ties would lead to the Chinese Communist Party using this economic dependence to coerce democratic Taiwan into unifying with mainland China under communist rule. Things came to a head when student protesters stormed the Legislative Yuan on 18 March 2014, forcing the government to abandon ratification of a recently-signed trade deal with mainland China, marking the first time the Taiwanese legislature had been successfully occupied by civilian protesters. The movement is today considered a watershed moment in Taiwanese political history, as it led to the political awakening of much of the formerly apolitical younger generation, galvanized a distinct Taiwanese identity, and united most of the younger generation behind the pro-independence camp. === Government and politics === Taiwan is a presidential republic modelled after the American system of government. The President is popularly elected every four years for up to two terms, and is the head of state. The President has the sole authority to appoint members the executive branch, known as the '''Executive Yuan''', whose leader, known as the Premier, serves as the head of government. The legislative branch is known as the '''Legislative Yuan''', often referred to as the "Parliament", which is elected by the people every four years in parallel with the presidential elections. Taiwan is a vibrant democracy known for its exceptionally dramatic parliamentary sessions, with physical fights between legislators on the floor being a regular occurrence. The other branches of government are the '''Judicial Yuan''', which tops the judiciary branch, the '''Examination Yuan''', which administers civil service examinations, and the '''Control Yuan''', which is responsible for auditing the government's finances. The two main parties in Taiwanese politics are the '''Kuomintang''' (KMT) and the '''Democratic Progressive Party''' (DPP). Generally speaking, the KMT is more socially conservative, and favors friendlier ties with China, while the DPP is more socially liberal, and favors closer ties with Japan and the United States, as well as taking a tougher stance against China. While the older generation is politically split, the younger generation is overwhelmingly pro-DPP. === People === Taiwan was originally populated by indigenous peoples that spoke various Austronesian languages, which are related to Malay, Tagalog and Indonesian. Today the remaining indigenous peoples make up only about 2% of the population, while the other 98% are considered ethnically Han Chinese. The ethnically Han Chinese are further split into Taiwanese, who make up about 84% of the population and whose ancestors migrated to Taiwan during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and mainlanders, who make up about 14% of the population and whose families fled to Taiwan from the mainland after the communist takeover of China in 1949. Among the Taiwanese group, Hoklo (Minnan) speakers form the majority, which is about 70% of the population, while the remaining 14% are largely Hakka speakers. In modern times, Taiwan is also home to immigrants from elsewhere, especially other Asian countries such as Malaysia (most of whom are ethnically Chinese), Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia. The post-1949 Chinese immigrants come from every province and include many non-Han residents. === Culture === Taiwanese culture is largely based on traditional Chinese culture, particularly that of [[Fujian]] province, because most Taiwanese are Han Chinese whose ancestors migrated to Taiwan from that region. However, in the 20th century, Taiwanese culture diverged from that of mainland China. Substantial Japanese influences can be seen in modern Taiwanese culture because of 50 years of Japanese rule, and this can be seen in its cuisine and in its pop culture. In addition, the Japanese introduced baseball and hot-spring bathing to Taiwan, and these remain popular pastimes for the Taiwanese to this day. As Taiwan was spared from the Cultural Revolution, the Taiwanese have also retained some elements of traditional Chinese culture that have been lost in mainland China. Indigenous Austronesian or "Formosan" culture has greatly suffered under multiple different waves of colonial rule. It is having a resurgence today but many aspects of it have been lost forever which is evident in how the majority of the Formosan languages are extinct or moribund. However, efforts are being made to revive the culture through the introduction of the Aboriginal languages into the school curriculum. Numerous indigenous Taiwanese have had successful careers in the entertainment industry, perhaps the most famous example being the singer Kulilay Amit, better known by her Chinese name Chang Huei-mei, who is of Puyuma ethnicity. === Climate === [[File:Footbridge, Taroko 01.jpg|thumb|240px|Taroko Gorge suspension bridge]] Lowland Taiwan has a marine tropical climate during the summer, with sweltering, humid weather (above 30&nbsp;°C, 86&nbsp;°F) from Jun-Sep. In the winter the weather is influenced by the nearby continent, and in the northern areas the temperature can go as low as 8&nbsp;°C at night. The best time of year to visit is from Oct-Dec, although even then occasional typhoons can spoil the fun. Spring is also nice, although it rains more than during autumn. During the typhoon season, the east coast bears the brunt of the damage as it is facing the Pacific Ocean. In the mountainous regions you will encounter more temperate conditions. Rapid weather change can endanger unprepared visitors, so advice on proper preparation should be obtained before visiting those areas. In fact, it snows every year on Taiwan's highest mountains and occasionally even on mountains like Alishan. === Taiwanese calendar === The ''Minguo'' (民國, ROC) calendar, counting years from the establishment of the ROC (1911), is commonly used in Taiwan. To convert a ''Minguo'' date to A.D., just add 1911. {{CURRENTYEAR}} is Minguo {{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}−1911}}. Months and days are according to the standard Gregorian calendar for almost everything except traditional holidays and religious matters, which use the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. === Festivals === {{CNYdates}} As Taiwan is majority Han Chinese, traditional Chinese festivals are celebrated in Taiwan. Among the most notable are: *'''Chinese New Year''' (春節). This is the most important festival for the Taiwanese and many shops and restaurants close on the first three days so it is not an ideal time to visit. However, the days leading up to the festival and the fourth to fifteenth days are ideal for soaking up the atmosphere and listening to Chinese New Year songs. *'''Tomb Sweeping Day''' (Ching Ming Festival, 清明節). This is when many Taiwanese pay respects at their ancestors' graves. *'''Dragon Boat Festival''' (端午節). This festival honors Qu Yuan, a patriotic official from the state of Chu during the Warring States period of Chinese history who committed suicide by jumping into a river when Chu was conquered by Qin. To prevent the fishes from eating his body, villagers threw rice dumplings into the river to feed the fishes and rowed dragon boats with drums being beaten on them to scare away the fishes. Since then, dragon boat racing has been carried out on this day and rice dumplings are also eaten. *'''Hungry Ghost Festival''' (Ghost Month, 中元節). This festival runs throughout the seventh month of the Chinese calendar. It is believed that the gates of hell open during this period and hungry ghosts are allowed to roam freely into our world. In order to appease the ghosts and prevent misfortune, many Taiwanese offer food and burn joss paper for them. In addition, traditional Chinese performances such as Chinese opera and puppet shows are held to appease these wandering spirits. *'''Mid-Autumn Festival''' (Moon Festival, 中秋節). Legend has it that on this day, a woman known as Chang E swallowed some divine pills to prevent her power hungry husband from becoming immortal. Afraid of being killed by her husband, she fled to the moon and it is believed that the moon shines brightest on this day. This is when many lanterns are put up for decoration in various parks and shops, which is quite a beautiful sight. Mooncakes are also eaten on this day so it would be an ideal time to try some. Many Taiwanese have barbecue with family or friends as part of the celebration. === Terrain === [[File:Jiuwanshibaguai.JPG|thumb|Cliffs meet the eastern coast of Taiwan, Hualien County]] Taiwan is largely mountainous with a chain of mountains running from north to south at the center of the island. The west coast is largely plains and unsurprisingly is where most of the population is concentrated, and is where all the larger cities like [[Taichung]] and [[Kaohsiung]] are located. The east coast also has some plains but they are more sparsely populated due to the higher typhoon risk, but is also home to the cities of [[Hualien]] and [[Taitung]] with significant populations. === Sports === Baseball was brought to Taiwan by the Japanese during the colonial period. Its popularity rose greatly when the Taiwanese baseball team finished second in the Japanese national championships. Today, baseball retains a strong following and remains by far the most popular spectator sport in Taiwan. Several Taiwanese players have also gone on to successful careers in the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) and Japanese Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), and the Taiwanese national team is considered to be one of the strongest in the world. Besides baseball, basketball also has a sizeable following in Taiwan and is quite popular among teenagers. When classes are over, the basketball courts inside schools are not only open to students but also the public. Billiards<!--WHICH VARIANT(S)--> is another popular sport in Taiwan. It's easy to find billiard rooms throughout the country and there are also many championship-winning players in Taiwan, most of whom started training when they were still teens. Other sports which are popular include Taekwondo, table tennis and golf. In international sporting competitions, such as the Olympic Games, Taiwan is called "Chinese Taipei" for political reasons. == Talk == {{infobox|You say Zhongshan, I say Chungshan...|The romanization of Chinese used in Taiwan is not standardized. Most older place names and personal names are derived from a simplified version of Wade-Giles. The government established Hanyu Pinyin (the same system used in the mainland and the international standard) as the official system in 2009, but most local governments that did not already use the system have not switched over, and highway signs are only being gradually changed from the Tongyong Pinyin system, leading to much inconsistency. Some local governments, such as that of Taipei and Taichung, have already converted their street signs to Hanyu Pinyin and New Taipei is implementing the switch to Hanyu Pinyin. However, there are still street signs posted by city governments next to signs installed by the national government having different romanization conventions, as is the case for Kaohsiung, where Tongyong Pinyin, not Hanyu Pinyin, is the local standard. For example, Zhongshan, Chungshan, Jungshan and Jhongshan can easily refer to the same Chinese name. This article attempts to use the romanizations most commonly used ''in'' Taiwan (on street signs, buses, tourist maps, etc.) People know romanisation as 'Roma-Pinyin' (Luoma-Pinyin).}} Taiwan's official languages are four varieties of Chinese — '''[[Chinese phrasebook - Traditional|Mandarin]]''', '''[[Minnan phrasebook|Taiwanese]]''' (a dialect of Minnan), '''[[Hakka phrasebook|Hakka]]''', and '''[[Fuzhou dialect phrasebook|Matsu dialect]]''' — as well as the '''Aboriginal Austronesian languages''' and '''Taiwan Sign Language'''. Mandarin is the ''lingua franca'', but Taiwanese is the mother tongue of about 70% of the population. In the North where there is a large concentration of so-called "mainlanders" (those whose families came to Taiwan from mainland China in the 1940s as refugees of the Chinese Civil War), most people speak Mandarin as their primary language (although Taiwanese is spoken in abundance), but in the South of the island, Taiwanese is far more common. Hakka is the main language at the middle elevations of the mountainous parts of Taoyuan, Hsinchu and Miaoli. Mandarin, Taiwanese and Hakka are all tonal languages, and are difficult for most foreigners to master. Aboriginal languages can mostly be heard on the East Coast and its offshore islands, as well as at higher elevations in the mountains. The Matsu dialect is a variant of the Fuzhou dialect (also known as ''Hokchiu'' or ''Foochow''), and is almost exclusively concentrated in the [[Matsu]] islands located close to [[Fuzhou]] in mainland China. Chinese is written using '''Chinese characters''' (漢字, ''hànzì'', lit. "Han characters"). Unlike an alphabet that represents individual sounds without any inherent meaning, each Chinese character represents a meaningful syllable: a specific word or part of a word. Although they look impenetrable at first, there is some method to the madness: most characters are composed from base components combined with other characters (often giving clues to both pronunciation and general meaning). The same characters are used in Japan and Korea with usually similar meanings, albeit different pronunciations. Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and many overseas Chinese still use the '''traditional characters''', whereas since the 1950s mainland China has used simplified characters, such as <span lang="zh-Hans">龟</span> instead of <span lang="zh-Hant">龜</span>. Cursive forms of Chinese characters, often used for effect in logos, range from "looks familiar if you squint" to "impenetrable scribbles". There are multiple ways of romanizing Mandarin Chinese, but '''pinyin''' (漢語拼音 ''hànyǔ pīnyīn'') is the most useful for a visitor to learn. It's a fairly logical system, although it has a few idiosyncrasies, including using some letters in ways that are different from English (such as ''q'' which is similar to English "ch" and ''x'' which is like English "sh"). (However, people in Taiwan are more familiar with a phonetic alphabet called Zhuyin (注音 ''zhùyīn'', written using Zhuyin as ㄓㄨˋ　ㄧㄣ), commonly known in English as '''bopomofo''' (named after the first four letters, ㄅㄆㄇㄈ), which is used for language education and typing.) All dialects of Chinese are also '''tonal''', meaning each syllable has to be pronounced with the correct tone &mdash; high, rising, falling-rising, falling, or neutral &mdash; to be understood; Mandarin tones are marked in pinyin using diacritics that graphically mimic the tones patterns (as in ''mā'', ''má'', ''mǎ'', ''mà'', and ''ma''). With just a few hours of practice, you can learn to pronounce Mandarin words accurately using pinyin. However, as Chinese has many homophones, pinyin is useful for pronunciation but not practical for communicating meaning; for something like a street address, you need to use Chinese characters. Although Chinese is ''written'' nearly the same across the world, '''spoken Chinese''' has a huge array of '''dialects'''. Verbally, Chinese dialects are as different from each other as English and Dutch, or French and Italian &mdash; related, but not mutually intelligible. Two people who speak different Chinese dialects would read and write the same, but they would pronounce the written text differently, and couldn't carry on a spoken conversation with each other. Although standard Mandarin in Taiwan is nearly identical to standard Mandarin in mainland China (with differences mostly in technical and translated terms invented post-1949), most people in practice speak a distinctly accented version known as Taiwanese Mandarin. For example, Taiwanese Mandarin tends to not differentiate between the "S" and "Sh" or the "f" and "h" sounds in Mandarin. All people schooled after 1945 are generally fluent in Mandarin, though older people from rural areas often have a very thick accent. Mandarin is fairly popular with young people. Some elderly people do not speak Mandarin as they were schooled in Japanese or not at all. Most Taiwanese are very accepting of foreigners and react with curiosity and admiration for trying the local tongue. Generally, most people in Taiwan converse using a combination of Mandarin and Taiwanese by code-switching. The Taiwanese dialect is a variant of Minnan which is similar to the dialect spoken across the Taiwan Strait in [[South Fujian]]. Unlike in South Fujian, Taiwanese Minnan has some loan words from Japanese as a result of 50 years of Japanese colonization. Taiwanese Minnan and [[Xiamen]] Minnan are both mixtures of the [[Zhangzhou]] and [[Quanzhou]] accents, so as a result, Taiwanese Minnan sounds very similar to Xiamen Minnan. There is also dialectal variation in Taiwanese between different parts of the island; the [[Tainan]] dialect is generally considered to be the prestige dialect. All public announcements in the transportation system are made in Mandarin, Taiwanese and Hakka, with the exception of the [[Matsu]] islands, where announcements are made in Mandarin and the local Matsu dialect. Especially in Taipei, younger people generally speak a basic conversational level of '''English'''. The children often understand more English than their parents, especially with the emphasis on English language education today, and English being a compulsory subject in Taiwanese schools. However, attempts to speak Mandarin or Taiwanese will be met with beaming smiles and encouragement, by and large. Quite a few people, especially in Taipei, are proficient in '''[[Japanese phrasebook|Japanese]]''' due to the high number of Japanese visitors. Staff for tourist attractions such as the Taipei 101, museums, hotels, popular restaurants and airport shops speak Japanese in addition to English, Mandarin and other local languages. In fact, if you are a visitor of East Asian descent who cannot understand Chinese, when a worker realizes this he or she may try speaking to you in Japanese before trying English. There has been an increasing usage of '''[[Korean phrasebook|Korean]]''' by tourism boards due to the large number of Korean people visiting Taiwan. Thus, there are many signs across Taiwan written in Korean. An enthusiasm for Korean-language education due to the influence of Korean pop culture is also gaining momentum. Due to the increasing number of Southeast Asian tourists visiting Taiwan, '''[[Thai phrasebook|Thai]]''', '''[[Vietnamese phrasebook|Vietnamese]]''' and '''[[Indonesian phrasebook|Indonesian]]''' are spoken by some tourist personnel. '''Taiwan Sign Language''' is the language of the deaf community. It has partial mutual intelligibility with Japanese Sign Language and Korean Sign Language, but not with Chinese Sign Language or Hong Kong Sign Language. == Get in == {{COVID-19 box|Taiwan has tightened entry restrictions in response to the spread of COVID-19, in particular the Delta variant of the virus.

Though originally accepted only in their respective cities, the two cards can now be used interchangeably at most (but not all) locations. Besides saving you the hassle of having proper change ready for your ticket, it mostly always gives discount on the chosen journeys. For instance, the price for any train (TRA) is calculated based on the price of a local train and a 10% discount. Thus, you can even take the faster trains with it (but not THSR) like the Tzu-Chiang limited express. The only disadvantage is that you will not have a reserved seat, which however is not an issue except on Saturday morning/noon and Sunday afternoon. The EasyCard also provides discounts on [[Taipei#Get around|Taipei's public transportation network]], and likewise with the iPass on Kaohsiung's network. The EasyCard can be bought at the airport, in any of stations of Taipei MRT and most convenient stores. As of Dec 2019 the price was NT$500, consisting of a non-refundable deposit of NT$100 and NT$400 in electronic cash. If you want to add money onto the card, you can do so in MRT stations (including Kaohsiung MRT), TRA stations, and the common convenient stores. The card can hold amounts up to NT$5,000. Student IC cards with even deeper discounts are also available for purchase, but only upon request at a desk and a recognised student ID like ISIC. Whether the card needs to be tapped only once or twice on city buses (on entry or on exit, see [[#By bus|below]]) depends on which city you are in and sometimes how far you travel. Do not forget to tap twice (on entry '''and''' exit) where it is necessary, especially on regional and national buses outside of cities (and some unstaffed railway stations). Otherwise, your card will be blocked with "incomplete journey" (for all bus companies), and you will have to settle this issue with the responsible bus company. This can be a problem, because bus companies only serve certain regions. When leaving that region, e.g. by train, which is still possible with a (bus) locked card, no-one will be willing to unlock your card, even though also other bus companies are able to do so. Be insistent and with the help of the tourist information center tell them that you cannot go back to fix the problem, or that you tried and they did not solve the issue even though they told you so. Make sure that it is really unlocked (with a different bus company) and do not just trust them &ndash; it seems some cannot operate their machines properly. If you forget to tap the second time, you will only be charged a small initial fee instead of the whole journey, but unless you are at the end of your vacation to Taiwan or possess a second card, you should avoid having your card blocked. That said, most bus drivers and railway staff pay close attention to the tapping, so it is hard to miss. It costs NT$14 to get in and out of the same railway station within an hour, in case you instead decide to take the bus. At the end of your travel, do not put too much money onto your card, because it can only be given back and cashed-out at certain locations, like some THSR stations. In addition to the NT$100 purchase fee, there is a NT$20 fee for returning the card within 3 months. === By train === [[File:THSR 700T train at Taoyuan Station 20070728.jpg|thumb|Taiwan High Speed train]] [[File:TaiwanHighSpeedRail Route en.gif|thumb|Map of Taiwan High Speed Rail; all stations shown are operational]] Taiwan's train system is excellent, with stops in all major cities. Train stations are often in the centers of most cities and towns and serve as a convenient hub for most types of transportation. In addition, the train system allows you to bypass the highways, which can become extremely crowded on weekends and national holidays. The main downside is the lack of cross-island routes between the East Coast and West Coast; for instance, there is no rail line from Taichung to Hualien, so you will have to either drive, fly, or take a major detour via Taipei or Kaohsiung. ====THSR==== The new train backbone is [http://www.thsrc.com.tw/en/?lc=en '''Taiwan High Speed Rail'''] (HSR, 高鐵 ''gāotiě'') , a [[high speed train]] based on Japanese ''Shinkansen'' technology that covers the {{km|345}} route on the West Coast from [[Taipei]] to Zuoying ([[Kaohsiung]]) in 90 min. Other stops on the route are [[Banqiao]], [[Taoyuan]], [[Hsinchu]], [[Taichung]], [[Chiayi]] and [[Tainan]], but many THSR stations have been built a fair distance from the cities they serve (e.g. a taxi from downtown Tainan costs up to NT$400, but there's a free shuttle bus). Taipei, Banciao, Taoyuan, Taichung and Kaohsiung (Zuoying) stations are connected with metro. Taichung station is built next to a railway station, convenient to transfer to the city center. Hsinchu and Tainan stations are connected to the city center with branch railway lines. Other stations can only be reached by bus. A one way ticket from Taipei to Kaohsiung costs NT$1,630 in economy or NT$2,140 in business class, but economy seats have plush seats and ample legroom, so there's little reason to pay extra, though business class passengers are offered a complementary drink and snack. All signage and announcements are in English as well, making navigation a snap. Bookings are accepted online and via phone up to two weeks in advance at +886-2-6626-8000 (English spoken), with payment required only when you pick up the tickets. Credit cards are accepted. Bookings can be easily made by internet, and you can pay online or pay and pick up your tickets at almost every FamilyMart and 7-Eleven. You can also avoid the queues for long distance tickets at major stations by buying your tickets from the automated ticket machines. The English prompts on the automated machines are hard to spot but they are present,usually in the top left corner of the screen. The stations and platforms are wheelchair-friendly and all trains include a wheelchair-accessible car (wider doors, ample space, accessible bathroom). The Official English guide for online reservations distinguishes between "senior or disabled tickets" and "handicap-friendly seats"; while it's possible to buy a ticket for the former online ("correct passenger ID" required), a ticket for the latter has to be reserved by calling the ticketing office on the phone. Early Bird tickets are sold from 28 days before the day, and the discount to is up to 35% off. All high-speed trains consist of two seating classes; '''economy class''' and '''business class'''. Although economy class is already clean and comfortable by international standards, paying extra for business class snags you a slightly wider seat, as well as a complimentary drink and snack. All train announcements are made in Mandarin, Taiwanese, Hakka and English. =====Passes===== The Taiwan High Speed Rail issues a '''[https://pass.thsrc.com.tw/oatsb2c/home.do?G=3 THSR Pass]''' for use on the high speed rail trains. These cost NT$2,400 for a regular 3-day pass, or NT$3,200 for a flexible 3-day pass. While a regular 3-day pass must be used in 3 consecutive days, the 3 days in a flexible 3-day pass may be spread out over any 7-day period. The 5-day joint passes allow for unlimited rides on the high speed rail for 2 days within a 5 day period, and unlimited rides on TRA lines within the same 5-day period. These cost NT$2,800 for a standard pass, which does not allow you to ride on Tzu-Chiang trains, and NT$3,600 for an express pass, which allows you to ride on all TRA lines. The THSR passes may only be used by foreigners who are in Taiwan on tourist visas (or visa exemptions), and must be purchased from travel agents overseas ''before'' you arrive in Taiwan. ====TRA==== Mainline trains are run by the separate [http://www.railway.gov.tw/en/index/index.aspx '''Taiwan Railway Administration'''] (TRA, 台鐵) , whose services are generally efficient and reliable. Reserving tickets well in advance is recommended when traveling with the train on weekends, especially for long distance travel. Slower (but more frequent) commuter trains without reserved seating are also available. Train timetables and [http://railway.hinet.net/net_eng.htm online booking] (up to 2 weeks in advance) are available on the TRA website for 24 hours. Booking and payment can be made online. You can also pay for the tickets you reserved at your local train station or post office to actually receive it. You can also buy the tickets of TRA in convenient stores now (you can reserve first and take the tickets in convenient stores). The way to buy tickets is same to high speed rail's. Children under 115&nbsp;cm (45&nbsp;in) height go free, and taller kids shorter than 150&nbsp;cm (59&nbsp;in) and under 12 years of age get half-price tickets. If you get return tickets there is a small discount depending upon travel distance. There are also vending machines at the larger stations. The fastest train is Tzu-Chiang (limited express), and the slowest is Pingkuai (Ordinary/Express). There is often little to choose between prices and destination times for adjacent train classes, but the gap can be quite large between the fastest and the slowest. * '''Tze-Chiang''' (自強 ''zìqiáng''): The fastest (and most expensive). Assigned seating. Non-reserved (standing) tickets are supposedly sold at full price, but the boarding is possible with an Easycard for local train prices. There are '''Taroko Express''' (太魯閣號 ''Tàilǔgé Hào'') and '''Puyuma''' (普悠瑪號 ''Pǔyōumǎ Hào'') runnning from Taipei to Hualien, which only sell reserved tickets. * '''Chu-Kuang''' (莒光 ''júguāng''): Second fastest. Assigned seating. In western Taiwan, it is as slow as a local train; in eastern Taiwan, it is still a fast, convenient train. * '''local train''' (區間 ''qūjiān'') : Short to medium distance commuter train, stops at all stations. No assigned seating. There are a few local-fast train, which don't stop at every station. * '''Express / Ordinary''' (普通 ''pǔtōng''): Stops at all stations, no air conditioning, most inexpensive. No assigned seating. Some Express trains (the light blue ones running on West Trunk Line) are air-conditioned while others (dark blue ones) are not equipped with air conditioners. Only on Saturday morning/noon and Sunday afternoon faster trains are packed, and it might make sense to buy a more expensive reserve-seat ticket, if you do not want to stand for 3 hr, depending on your destination. Otherwise, you can freely use the EasyCard for fast connections without worrying (except for THSR). For travel to nearby cities, you can travel on local commuter trains. These arrive very frequently (about once every ten to fifteen minutes). In addition, "standing tickets" may be purchased on trains with assigned seating that have no available seats. Standing tickets are 80% the original ticket price and may be useful for last-minute travelers. However, you will be required to stand for the duration of your trip if there are no free seats. Station announcements are made in Mandarin, Taiwanese, Hakka, and English. A popular holdover from the Japanese colonial era is the '''railway bento''' tradition, known in Taiwan as the '''TR Bento''' (臺鐵便當 ''tái tiě biàn dàng''). These are sold at most major TRA stations, and on board most long distance TRA trains. Both meat and vegetarian options are available, with the pork chop bento being particularly famous and iconic. =====Passes===== Similar to Japan and South Korea, Taiwan also offers several rail passes to foreign tourists for unlimited train travel within a stipulated period. The '''[https://tip.railway.gov.tw/tra-tip-web/tip/tip003/tip311/view10 TR Pass]''' can be used by foreigners for unlimited travel on TRA lines for a stipulated period of time. The TR Pass can be bought at railway stations in Taiwan. The TR pass also allows you to reserve seats for free on trains that have assigned seating. '''The TR pass is not valid on the Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR)''' as those trains are not run by the TRA. {| class="wikitable" |+Ticket types/prices (NT$) |- |colspan="3" style="text-align: center" | '''3 Days''' |colspan="3" style="text-align: center" | '''5 Days''' |- | full price || reduced price || 4-person-group || full price || reduced price || 4-person-group |- | 1800 || 900 || 4200 || 2500 || 1250 || 7000 |} : :Note: The 4-person-group ticket must be used by four people simultaneously. You '''cannot''' take the high-speed rail, since it is not operated by the TRA. Validity has to be for consecutive days. Reduced price applies to children (age 7-12), senior citizens (age 65+) and disabled people. * TR Pass Student: The student version of the TR Pass is significantly cheaper than the general version, though unlike the general version, it is ''not'' valid for use on Tzu-Chiang limited express trains, and also cannot be used to ride in train cars with reserved seating. In order to qualify for this pass, you will need to show your passport and a valid International Student Identity Card (ISIC) Ticket types and prices: * 5-day ticket: NT$599 * 7-day ticket: NT$799 * 10-day ticket: NT$1,098 ===By bus=== Taiwan has an extensive bus network, run mostly by private bus companies. Traveling by bus is generally cheaper than by train, especially for long-distance trips. However, on holidays, travel time may be much longer and tickets are more likely to be sold out. There are two categories: intercity buses (客運) and local buses (公車). Taiwan Tourist Shuttle is a set of distinctly branded bus routes (some intercity, some local) that serve tourist sites, and are generally easier to use than regular routes. The official website offers route maps, timetables and recommended itineraries, but is somewhat confusing to navigate. There is, however, a toll-free number for inquiries. There are also information desks at major transport hubs. [[File:Taipei Bus 1073 stop board.jpg|thumb|Bus stop in Taipei]] Many cities have local buses. They are managed by local governments, therefore information can generally be found on the websites of the respective transportation bureaus. Drivers are usually happy to help, but may not speak English. Route maps at bus stops are mostly in Chinese. For visitors, it may be helpful to have your hotel or accommodation host suggest some routes for you and circle your destination on a map, then show it to the bus driver to make sure you're on the right bus. Announcements are in English, but hopefully the driver will remember to tell you when to get off in case you miss it. Most buses accept either cash (no change) or IC cards (like the EasyCard). Minor cities and towns do not have local buses, but have intercity routes that make frequent stops. These can be found using the method in the previous paragraph. Occasionally a bus driver might stop a bus away from the curb at a bus stop. Sometimes it is due to a vehicle illegally parked at a bus stop. (Taiwanese traffic law and regulation prohibit vehicles from stopping or parking within 10&nbsp;m (33&nbsp;ft) of a bus stop.) However, a bus driver might stop a bus away from the curb just because he or she does not want to wait for overtaking traffic while leaving a bus stop. Therefore, be ''much more careful'' when getting on or off a bus stopped away from a curb, as many motorcycles, motor scooters, and bicycles will definitely be tempted to overtake on the right side of the stopped bus where people get on and off! (As traffic drives on the right side of the road in Taiwan, buses have doors on the right side.) In Taiwan you need to hail the bus you are taking as you see it coming—much like hailing a taxi. The terminal stop of the route is listed on the front of the bus in Chinese and sometimes English, so it is important to make sure the bus you get on is going the right direction. For city buses, sometimes you pay when boarding, sometimes when alighting, sometimes both (whether with cash or an IC card). As you get on the bus there will be an LED sign indicating that, opposite the entrance. Sometimes it's only in Chinese: 上 means on boarding, 下 means on alighting (or just watch other people). In some cities such as Kaohsiung and Taichung, failing to swipe your card correctly will result in a locked card. ====Navigation==== Google Maps is a quick way to find a route to your destination, but is not always reliable, especially for trips with changes and for longer distance (like in the south and southwest). Often it will highly overstate bus travel times, because it will consider each stop while the bus might only stop at every third or fourth. Hence, a trip from Kaohsiung or Pingtung to Kenting will be stated with 3-4 hr, even though it will just take 1 hr. Therefore, it will also often suggesting the wrong connections and transfers. However, it gives a very good indication on the possible route, vehicle number(s), frequency, availability and price of buses and trains. Besides, the ''Bus+'' app (Android/iOS) is quite reliable with schedules. You can find bus numbers on it, and it will list its (live) route. This is much easier than reading the Chinese bus stop signs. In combination with Google Maps route search it is quite handy. Furthermore, http://taiwanbus.tw/ has a likewise good overview, in case the Bus+ app is not that helpful. === By metro === [[File:VAL256 on Taipei MRT Muzha Line 20050320.jpg|thumb|Taipei MRT]] The following areas are served by metro, also known as MRT: * [[Taipei]] and [[New Taipei]] by Taipei Metro * Linkou Plateau, western Taipei and northeastern [[Taoyuan]] City by Taoyuan Metro *[[Taichung]] by Taichung MRT * [[Kaohsiung]] by Kaohsiung MRT It is prohibited to eat, drink or smoke in all metro systems past the fare gates. If multiple journeys are to be made, one can purchase a rechargeable IC card. There are 4 cards: EasyCard (悠遊卡), iPASS (一卡通), icash and HappyCash. For basic MRT transport purposes there is little difference between them. All metro systems are reliable, safe, clean and accessible. Disruptions are rare. The Taipei Metro in particular is widely lauded as one of the world's most reliable and efficient, and is often held up as a gold standard for other Metro systems around the world to emulate. Nearly all stations have toilets, elevators and info desks. There are also special waiting areas that is monitored by security camera for those who are concerned about security late at night. === By taxi === {{infobox|Betel nut beauties (檳榔西施) |The highways of Taiwan are lined with brightly lit booths staffed by attractive, skimpily dressed young women, but they're not plying the world's oldest trade; instead, they're betel nut beauties, who compete for the attention of customers to sell the mildly addictive stimulant '''betel''' (檳榔 ''bīnláng''), consisting of areca nuts and slaked lime wrapped in a betel leaf, not themselves. Betel itself is worth a try and there is a chance you will be offered it in the company of farmers or working-class Taiwanese. Be warned, it stains your teeth blood red. To consume it, bite and spit off the cap at the top of the nut, then chew the rest of the bundle. Only the first mouthful of saliva must be spit and afterwards one can either choose to spit or swallow and enjoy the buzz. One sampling on your trip shouldn't be a problem, but do keep in mind that this little treat is habit-forming and cancer-causing for long-term users. Due to the known health risks, consumption of betel nuts is declining, and betel but beauties are becoming increasingly few and far between.}} Taxis are very common in major Taiwanese cities. You do not need to look for a taxi, they'll be looking for you. The standard yellow taxis scour roads looking for potential riders such as lost foreigners. It is possible but generally unnecessary to phone for a taxi. To hail one, simply place your hand in front of you parallel to the ground. But they'll often stop for you even if you're just waiting to cross the street or for a bus. In less heavily trafficked areas further out from the transit hubs, taxis are always available by calling taxi dispatch centers or using mobile apps. Drivers generally cannot converse in English or read Westernized addresses (except for special Taoyuan airport taxis). Get the hotel staff or a Taiwanese friend write out your destination in Chinese, and also take a business card from the hotel. Show the driver the Chinese writing of where you are going. Taxis are visibly metered (starting point priced at NT$70), and taxi drivers are strictly forbidden from taking tips. A maximum of four people can ride in one cab, and for the price of one. Compared to European or American taxis, those in Taiwan are inexpensive. Although taxi drivers in Taiwan tend to be more honest than in many other countries, not all are trustworthy. An indirect trip might cost you half again as much. A cab driver using night-time rates during the daytime will cost you 30% more (make sure he presses the large button on the left on his meter before 23:00). Avoid the especially overzealous drivers who congregate at the exits of train stations. Also, stand your ground and insist on paying meter price only if any driving on mountain roads is involved. Some drivers like to tack on surcharges or use night-time rates if driving to places like [[Wenshan]] (文山) or [[Wulai]] (烏來). Such attempts to cheat are against the law. From Taoyuan Airport (TPE), buses are a much more economical option but if you want a direct route Taoyuan airport drivers are the best choice. They're quite comfortable and get you to your destination as quick as possible. All the TPE taxi drivers are interlinked by radio so they could be forewarned if there are police. Sometimes, if there are traffic jams and no police around, the driver will drive in the emergency lane. Taxis from TPE to destinations in Tao Yuan, parts of Taipei county and some other destinations are 'allowed' to add an additional 50% to the meter fare. The badge and taxi driver identification are displayed inside and the license number marked on the outside. You must also be wary that the driver turns on his meter, otherwise he might rip you off. In such a case, you aren't obliged to pay; but make sure you can find a police officer to settle the matter. If there are stories of passengers boarding fake taxis and being attacked by the driver, it is best not to be paranoid about it. Drivers may be more worried about passengers attacking them! If you do call a taxi dispatch center, you will be given a taxi number to identify the vehicle when it arrives. Generally, dispatch is extremely rapid and efficient, as the taxis are constantly monitoring dispatch calls from the headquarters using radio while they are on the move. This is also the safest way to take a taxi, especially for women. Taxis are also a flexible although relatively expensive way to travel to nearby cities. They have the advantage over the electric trains in that they run very late at night. Drivers are required to provide a receipt if asked, though you might find them unwilling to do so. Taxi drivers, as elsewhere in Asia, are not keen on exchanging large notes. Try to keep some smaller denomination notes on hand to avoid the hassle of fighting with the driver for change. Taxi drivers are known for their strong political opinions. Many are supporters of the pan-green coalition and Taiwanese independence, spending all day listening to Taiwanese political talk radio. Drivers also have negative connotations as being former prisoners. Be careful about your opinions on sensitive political subjects (including, but not necessarily limited to cross-strait relations); also be careful of describing your destination which may be perceived politically (such as the President's Office or Chiang-Kai-Shek Memorial Hall). Also watch out for drivers who discriminate against other cultures such as taping "No Korean passengers" on their cars. This is sometimes unavoidable as some drivers provoke such discussion. In addition, if you see what looks like blood spewing from the driver's mouth, or him spitting blood onto the street—not to fret–it's merely him chewing betel nut (see box). Keep in mind, however, that betel nuts are a stimulant. Taxi drivers are generally friendly towards foreigners, and a few of them take the opportunity to try their limited English skills. They are most likely to ask you about yourself, and are a patient audience to your attempts at speaking Mandarin. If you are traveling with small children, don't be surprised if they are given candy when you disembark. Women are sometimes warned not to take taxis alone at night. This is not an extreme risk, although there have been incidents where women have been attacked. To be more safe, women can have the hotel or restaurant phone a cab for them (ensuring a licensed driver), have a companion write down the license number of the driver (clearly displayed on the dashboard), or keep a cell phone handy. Do not get in if the driver doesn't have a license with picture clearly displayed in the cab. === By scooter or motorcycle === Scooters with an engine size of 50cc require a license to drive, and should be insured and registered in the owner's name. Foreign nationals with stay less than 30 days do not have an easy way to get a scooter license. Until 2003 it wasn't possible to get a scooter above 150cc. Many of the scooters within cities are only 50cc and incapable of going faster than 80&nbsp;km/h (50&nbsp;mph). The more powerful versions known as ''zhongxing'' (重型, heavy format) scooters are now quite common and can be rented for short-term use, or found for sale used at [http://www.englishintaiwan.com English In Taiwan] if you're going to need it for a while. They are '''not''' allowed on freeways even if they are capable of going faster than 100&nbsp;km/h (62&nbsp;mph) unless used for certain police purposes, but that just means you have to take the scenic route. If you're just learning to drive a scooter on the streets of Taiwan, it would be a good idea to practice a bit on a back road or alley until you have a feel for the scooter. Attempting to do so in the busier cities could easily be fatal. Certainly, things can get pretty hairy on Taiwanese roads and Taipei in particular has narrower more congested roads than many other cities. However if you know what you're doing, it's the perfect way to get around in a city. It should be possible to rent a scooter by the day, week or month, depending on the city in which you're staying. One Taipei motorcycle and scooter rental service with English language service is [http://www.bikefarm.net Bikefarm], which is run by a very friendly and helpful English guy called Jeremy. In Taichung, Foreigner Assistance Services In Taiwan '''[http://www.englishintaiwan.com/foreignerservices/fast.php F.A.S.T]''' offers a rental service for foreign visitors. Otherwise, scooters are generally easy to rent in most major cities, with many such places being near railway or bus stations. Most usually require some form of identification even if, in some cases, it consists of your expired Blockbuster video card! The average price you may expect is NT$400 for 24 hours, this includes one or two helmets. Another option is to rent a motorcycle. Many foreigners swear by their 125cc Wild Wolf (野狼) motorcycles, and a trip around the island on a motorcycle can be a great way to see the island up close. It is to be mentioned that since 2007, scooters and motorcycle over 550cc are allowed to go on expressway providing that they have a red license plate. They are however to be considered as cars, and as such cannot be parked in scooter parking spaces. === By car === [[File:Traffic restored on the 133K~135K section of Provincial Highway 21.jpg|thumb|View of Yushan Scenic Highway]] An international driving license is required for driving in Taiwan and may be used for up to 30 days, after which you'll need to apply for a local permit. Some municipalities may impose additional restrictions, so check ahead with the rental shop. [http://www.vipcar.com.tw/ VIP Rentals] in [[Taipei]] is quite happy to rent cars to foreigners, and will even deliver the car to a given destination. A deposit is often required, and the last day of rental is not pro-rated, but calculated on a per-hour basis at a separate (higher) rate. The numbered highway system is very good in Taiwan. Most traffic signs are in international symbols, but many signs show names of places and streets in Chinese only. All road directional signs are written in both Chinese and English, though the non-standardized Romanization means that English names can vary between road signs, making it rather confusing. The highways are in excellent shape with toll stations around every 30&nbsp;km (19&nbsp;mi). Toll is charged electronically and you pay the rental company when you return the car. Traffic moves on the right in Taiwan. Parking in cities is generally charged. A attendant will put a payment slip under your windscreen wiper, you can pay at convenience stores. While driving may be the best way to get around the countryside, in larger cities like Taipei and Kaohsiung, traffic jams are a problem as is the difficulty of finding a good parking space, especially during the rush hour and traffic tends to get chaotic so you might be better off relying on public transport instead. === By thumb === While Taiwanese themselves don't generally [[Hitchhiking|hitchhike]], foreigners will have it very easy to find a hitch. However, in rural areas people may not recognize the thumb in the air symbol, and you may try pointing your hand to the ground and waving towards you. It is very easy to flag down a car in rural and mountain regions. So, instead of waiting for that one bus a day that goes by, just hitch a ride. Flagging down a car might work on a country lane with little or no public transportation, but doing so on a major road might lead to confusion, with the driver assuming that you are in trouble. A sign, especially one in Chinese, would therefore be of great help. The East coast around Hualien and Taitung enjoys a reputation for being especially good for getting rides. Taiwanese people are very friendly and helpful, so striking up a conversation with someone at a transport café or freeway service station may well see you on your way. === By bicycle === Although Taiwan is known for being a major player in the [[cycling|bicycle]] industry (through companies such as Giant and Merida), bicycles used to be considered an unwanted reminder of less prosperous times. This has changed, and bicycling is again on the rise, both as a tool for commuting and recreation, and support infrastructure is slowly being put into place. Several bike paths have been built, and recreational cycling has become quite popular amongst locals, especially on weekends. However, you should also be aware that local drivers have a well deserved reputation for recklessness. As such, you should exercise extreme caution when cycling outside of designated bicycle lanes and trails. The government has been promoting bicycling as a method of clean recreation. Several designated bicycle paths have been built throughout Taiwan (especially along riverside parks). Additionally, [http://www.formosanfattire.com/trails/ long distance rides], including through the Central Mountain Range, and along the coastline around the main island have become popular. For long distance trips, bicycles can be shipped as is using standard freight service from the Taiwan Railway Administration between larger stations. Non-folding bicycles may also be transported aboard the Taipei and Kaohsiung rapid transit systems if loaded at specific stations, during off peak hours (usually 10:00-16:00 on weekdays, check with your local station personnel to confirm). * [https://www.metro.taipei/cp.aspx?n=F299BF5B3142389A Taipei MRT Route Map], bicycles may be loaded at designated stations * [http://www.krtco.com.tw/en/guide_StipulationsforPassengerswithBicycles.aspx Kaohsiung MRT Bicycle Information] (passengers traveling with non-folding bicycles are assessed a flat rate NT$60 fare irrespective of distance) Giant Bicycles Corporation operates a large network of bicycle retail stores that offer '''rentals''' for as little as NT$100 per day, if requested one week in advance. Generally, the day rate is around NT$300 for a modern bicycle. Also, rented bicycles can be picked up at one station and given back another station. This can be convenient if you want to go down the quiet east coast with a bicycle and back up the busy west coast with the train/bus. A one week finesse bike including bags costs as little as €100. Public shared bicycles are also available for rent at automated kiosks in most Taiwanese cities. Rental fees are usually paid using the rapid transit EasyCard or iPass system. There is YouBike in Taipei, which are available all over the city and even 30&nbsp;km out &ndash; see [[Taipei]] for more details. Additionally, many local police stations provide basic support services for cyclists, such as air pumps, and as a rest stop. === By plane === [[File:UNI Air MD-90-30 (B-17918) at Kaohsiung International Airport.jpg|thumb|Domestic plane, Taiwan]] Domestic air travel in Taiwan is primarily for outlying islands, as Taiwan is fairly compact with a modern and efficient rail network. There are also routes that connect the east and west coasts, since there is a geographical barrier between the two. There are no longer any west coast only routes as [[high speed rail]] has made them redundant. The main carriers are '''[http://www.mandarin-airlines.com/ Mandarin Airlines]''', a subsidiary of China Airlines; and '''[http://www.uniair.com.tw/ UNI Air]''', owned by EVA. There is also Daily Air and Far Eastern Air Transport. Flights are frequent, and it is usually unnecessary to book flights in advance, except during holidays. Fares for domestic flights are not too expensive, and local planes are very good. The domestic airport in Taipei is [http://www.tsa.gov.tw/tsa/en/home.aspx Songshan Airport], which is in the north of the Taipei and easily reached by MRT or taxi. Other domestic airports include those in [[Taitung]], [[Hualien]], [[Makung]] (Penghu/Pescadores), [[Kinmen]], [[Taichung]], [[Nangan]] and [[Beigan]]. Travelers heading to [[Kenting]] can use the direct and frequent bus service from Kaohsiung airport that connect with flights arriving from Taipei. If you want to visit Taiwan's smaller islands, the plane is still the best option, and is the only practical option for traveling to [[Kinmen]] and the easiest method of reaching [[Penghu]] and [[Matsu]]. For travel to Green Island and [[Orchid Island]], the plane from Taitung saves several hours over taking the ferry which is notorious among Taiwanese for its rough ride. ===On foot and navigation=== Taiwan is an excellent place for hiking and trekking, providing many interesting and picturesque trails in its mountainous center, or just northeast of Taipei. For reliable maps and comprehensive trails and map information, consult [https://www.openstreetmap.org/ OpenStreetMap], which is also used by this travel guide, and by many mobile Apps like [http://osmand.net/ OsmAnd] (complex with many add-ons) and [https://maps.me/ MAPS.ME] (easy but limited). == See == Perhaps due to its political ambiguity and lack of global presence, Taiwan has never been a significant destination for Westerners. Nevertheless tourists from [[Japan]] and [[Hong Kong]] have been visiting Taiwan in droves for a long time, and they are being joined by an increasing number of Koreans, Southeast Asians and Westerners. The island is home to many cultural attractions, with an excellent selection right in the capital. Taipei is a bustling and modern metropolis, with ancient yet lively streets, and world-famous landmarks like '''Taipei 101'''. However, it's also home to the '''National Palace Museum''', '''Zhongshan Hall''', '''Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall''' and the beautifully restored '''Bao'an Temple'''. Bao'an is just one of many striking temple complexes worth a visit. For more, try the '''Zushi Temple''' in [[Sanxia]] or the '''Mazu temple''' in [[Makung]]. The large '''Longshan Temple''' in [[Lukang]] and the '''Confucian Temples''' of [[Changhua]] and [[Tainan]] are fine choices too. Tainan is the oldest city in Taiwan and therefore full of historic sites, especially colonial buildings, and including the Anping "Tree House" that's being slowly reclaimed by banyan trees. If you're looking for some deeper insights in Taiwan's history and culture, there's a wide range of '''museums''' to be explored, pretty much wherever your go. Taiwan retains its place as a major center of Chinese pop culture. In addition, this state is home to bustling cities with modern, high-tech infrastructure, and good transportation infrastructure means that getting around is easy. For those who have grown weary of the hustle and bustle of cities, Taiwan also offers some very impressive scenery and charming historical villages in its rural areas. === Nature === [[File:Taiwan 2009 HuaLien Taroko Gorge Narrow Gap and Road PB140025.jpg|thumb|200px|Taroko Gorge, Taroko National Park]] Some people think of Taiwan as a grimy, densely populated industrial island full of hard disk factories, and you may well maintain this perception if you only stick to the densely populated West Coast. However, for those who take time to venture to the more sparsely populated East Coast will quickly find that Taiwan is actually home to some stunning landscapes. The [[Taroko Gorge]] (太魯閣) near [[Hualien]] in particular is very impressive, and should not be missed, with a side trip to the rugged shores at ''Shihtiping'' (石梯坪) as a worthwhile detour. '''Hehuan Mountain''' and '''[[Sun Moon Lake]]''' are beautiful natural attractions near [[Nantou]], while the huge and ancient trees in '''[[Lalashan]]''' make for great hikes near [[Taoyuan]]. In fact, most of Taiwan is covered with mountains which offer breathtaking views, so hiking opportunities are very diverse. == Do == * '''Hot Springs''' (溫泉) – Taiwan's geographical location between an oceanic trench and volcanic system makes it an ideal hot springs vacation spot. There are several hot springs destinations throughout the country, including [[Beitou]] (北投), [[Wulai]] (烏來) and [[Yangmingshan]] (陽明山). The culture of bathing in hot springs was introduced by the Japanese during the colonial period, and remains firmly entrenched in the local culture to this day. At traditional establishments segregated by sex, you may be expected to bathe nude. However, many other places, particular those geared for foreigners, are unisex and require a bathing suit. ===Hiking=== Taiwan is an island of huge mountains (more than two hundred peaks over 3,000m) and there are many hiking opportunities. [[Taroko Gorge]] is popular for its incredible scenery, and serious hikers can trek [[Yushan]] or Wuling Sixiu, among many others. Even in [[Taipei]] and [[New Taipei]] there are a variety of trails to suit hikers of any level. Serious trekking is rather complicated due to an advance booking requirement (usually 7 days) and lodging lottery&mdash;see http://np.cpami.gov.tw/. Permits are required for many trails, especially remote or multi-day hikes and some (though not all!) in national parks. Nevertheless, there are also many trails available that do not need an application. They are mostly day hikes, but you can always put together your trip sections as preferred&mdash;consult apps that use [http://www.openstreetmap.org OpenStreetMap], like [http://osmand.net/ OsmAnd] and [https://maps.me/ MAPS.ME]. They have comprehensive and reliable tracks available. ===Shrimping=== Popular locally, and gaining traction with foreign tourists due to YouTube and travel bloggers, is the pastime of indoor shrimp fishing. For an hourly rate (around NT$300/hr), you will be provided with a fishing rod and a seat at an indoor shrimp pool that is regularly stocked with large live Thai prawns. While drinking beer and enjoying the laid back environment, you will be afforded an opportunity to catch dinner with locals. Almost all locales have a few indoor shrimp fishing pools to seek out. Almost all double as restaurants with tables and ovens available for use, allowing you to cook your catch on-site and order additional dishes as needed. ===Events=== * '''[http://www.springscream.com/ Spring Scream]''' (春天吶喊) – A three day outdoor rock concert in [[Kenting]], held every year. In 2011, it will take place on 1–4 April. Tickets are NT$1,400 for all days, all venues; NT$650 for one day, one venue. Kenting's entire area gets swarmed by young people coming to party for 3 days, and Taiwanese TV heavily reports on the latest bikini fashions seen on the spot. Be aware, though, that police presence will be strong, as the festival has a reputation for being rife with illegal drugs. * '''Buddha's Birthday''' (佛祖誕辰) – Colorful but simple ceremonies are held at Buddhist monasteries that generally consist of washing a statue of the Buddha and a vegetarian feast. It is appropriate to make offerings to the monks and nuns at this time, though it is not mandatory. Lunar Calendar 8th day of 4th month. * '''Dragon Boat Festival''' (龍舟賽) – A festival to commemorate the death of the Chinese patriotic poet Qu Yuan (born 340 BC), who drowned himself in a river out of despair that his beloved country, Chu, was being plundered by a neighboring country as a result of betrayal by his own people. The festival falls on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month (25 June 2020), and is marked by races of colorful dragon boats at various locations throughout the island. * '''Cherry Blossom Season''' (櫻花季) – Every spring, in [[Yangmingshan]] (陽明山). * '''Mazu Festival''' (媽祖生) – Festival commemorating the traditional birthday of Mazu, a traditional Chinese goddess who is popularly worshipped in Taiwan. The biggest celebration is an eight-day long "inspection tour" of a Mazu statue from the Zhenlan Temple in [[Taichung]] to the Chaotian Temple in [[Southern Taiwan|Beigang]] and back, though many other temples throughout Taiwan's main island and the outlying islands also conduct their own festivities. Lunar Calendar 23rd day of 3rd month. === Traditional pastimes === Generally speaking, traditional Chinese games such as [[Go]] (圍棋 ''wéiqí'') and [[Xiangqi|Chinese chess]] (象棋 ''xiàngqí'') are popular in Taiwan too. Both games are played at the professional level in Taiwan, and there are numerous tournaments that visitors may watch. While gambling is illegal in Taiwan, '''mahjong''' (Mandarin: 麻將 ''májiàng''; Taiwanese: 麻雀 ''moâ-chhiok'') remains popular. The Taiwanese version of the game derives from the Fujianese form, which differs significantly from the better known Cantonese and Japanese versions, most notably because a hand consists of 17 tiles instead of the 14 used in other versions. Mahjong in Taiwan is mostly a family and friends affair, and is usually played at social gatherings in people's houses. Mahjong clubs generally cater to groups of friends or family members looking to play together, though they can often assist in helping you find other players if you show up alone. While playing for money is not allowed at mahjong clubs due to Taiwan's anti-gambling laws, they will often allow you to exchange the points you win for various prizes. === Performing Arts === '''Glove puppet shows''' (布袋戲) originated in Fujian province on mainland China, and were brought to Taiwan by the first Han Chinese immigrants. Nevertheless, they have since been somewhat modernised and taken on some uniquely Taiwanese characteristics. Another traditional Taiwanese type of performance is '''Taiwanese opera''' (歌仔戲), which originated in [[Yilan]] based on traditional Chinese opera styles. == Buy == ===Money=== {{exchange rates | currency=New Taiwan dollars | currencyCode=NT$ | date=January 2022 | CNY=4.3 | EUR=31 | GBP=37 | JPY=24 | USD=28 | source=[http://www.xe.com/currency/twd-taiwan-new-dollar XE.com]}}The currency of Taiwan is the '''New Taiwan dollar''', denoted by the symbol "'''NT$'''" (新臺幣 or 臺幣, ISO code: '''NTD''', but also referred to as TWD). The NT dollar is known locally as NT, ''yuán'' (元 or more formally 圓) when written in Chinese or colloquially in Mandarin as the ''kuài'' (塊). One unit is known colloquially as the ''kho&#x358;'' (箍) in the Taiwanese dialect. One dollar is divided into 100 cents, known as a 分 (''fēn'') in Chinese. 10 cents is formally known as a 角 (''jiǎo''), and colloquially as a 毛 (''máo'') in Chinese. Any '''$''' sign you see in Taiwan or this travel guide for Taiwan generally refers to NTD unless it includes other initials (e.g. US$ for U.S. dollars). Banknotes come in denominations of NT$100, NT$200, NT$500, NT$1,000 and NT$2,000, while coins come in denominations of NT$½, NT$1, NT$5, NT$10, NT$20 and NT$50. The NT$½ coin is rarely seen or accepted because of its low value, and the price of raw materials used to make the coin is more than the face value of the coin. Taiwanese currency is fully convertible and there are no restrictions on taking currency into or out of the island. Currency exchange is possible internationally, although you will get a much better rate if you wait until you arrive at the airport to exchange currency at the 24-hour window. Most banks in Taipei and Kaohsiung will also exchange money or offer cash advances on credit or debit cards. Should you bring American currency, bring newer bills as the banks and exchange-centers (such as in department stores) will only accept the newer notes (notes from 1996 and 2003 are not accepted at most places, due to a high proportion of forgeries bearing these years). Notes which are torn or damaged will probably not be changed, and old-style small-bust notes are not accepted, including the US$2 bill no matter when it was printed. Taiwan National Bank will take older bank notes and bank notes that are wrinkled or torn for exchange. Department stores will not exchange notes older than 1997. Don't forget to show your passport! ====ATMs==== Taiwan has abundant ATMs to withdraw cash from using the Plus or Cirrus systems. Certain banks' ATMs will even tell you your available balance in your own currency or in NT$. There is a per transaction limit of NT$20,000 for ATM cash withdrawals (HSBC Global Access customers may withdraw NT$30,000 from HSBC ATMs). Post office ATMs will ''not'' accept cards without an EMV chip. However, ATMs are sometimes out of cash, especially in remote (mountain) regions. So, make sure you stock up on cash early enough. 7-Eleven ATMs charge NT$100 per transaction, whilst those in Family Marts do not charge a fee. ====Credit cards==== Most hotels and department stores accept credit cards, generally Visa, MasterCard, and JCB. Diners Club, Discover and American Express cards are seldom accepted. Most restaurants and small stores do not accept cards, and cash is the main form of payment. Because street crime is rare, it is common for people in Taiwan to carry large amounts of cash with them. ===== Mobile Wallets ===== Unlike mainland China, QR code based mobile wallet payments are not quite ubiquitous or essential to the point that a visitor would have a hard time without one. In addition, Taiwan's mobile wallet apps generally require foreigners to register with an ARC, limiting the ability of visitors to use it. However, LINE Pay, one of the most popular, is cross-compatible with its counterparts in Thailand, Japan, and South Korea, meaning that if you already have a LINE Pay account from one of those countries, it can be used with any linked credit or debit card to make payments at stores in Taiwan that take LINE Pay. Your card will be directly charged in NT$; LINE Pay does not automatically convert to your account currency. This can reduce the amount of cash you need to carry around as some shops that otherwise do not take card payments will take LINE Pay and other mobile wallets. ====Banks==== If you are planning on staying in Taiwan for a longer time, you should consider opening a Taiwanese bank account. While many of the large foreign banks such as Citibank and HSBC have branches in Taiwan, they often require huge deposits in order for you to open an account, so you might wish to consider one of the major local banks such as the Bank of Taiwan instead. You will need to bring your passport and UI number in order to open an account. The UI number is the number on the Alien Residence Card for those on long-term visas. For short-term tourists, they can obtain an "UI No. Basic Information Form" for free from the local Immigration Agency office, but this is not accepted by all banks. The larger banks will often have English-speaking staff available to assist foreigners. === Costs === Costs in Taiwan are generally lower than in Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong, but higher than in Southeast Asia and mainland China. For a budget traveler on a bare-bones budget, NT$1,000 will get you by for a day, but you'll probably want to double that for comfort. A meal at a street stall may cost NT$50 or less, a meal at a Western fast food restaurant will run you about NT$150 and at the fanciest restaurants, you can expect a bill in excess of NT$1,000. On the high end of the spectrum, hotel rooms at a swanky hotel might cost NT$5,000 or more. Costs diminish significantly the further you go out of the big cities. Taxis are quite reasonable and often have a set fare for common destinations, so ask in advance and haggle if you disagree. === Tipping === Tipping is generally '''not''' practiced in Taiwan. Bellhops in high end hotels and porters at airports are an exception and should be given NT$50 per bag. Also, tipping to show appreciation for exceptional service is not uncommon. Tipping is also not expected in taxis and drivers would usually return your change to the last dollar. In place of tips is a 10% service charge when dining at most full-service restaurants which is automatically added to the bill. ===Shopping=== [[File:Linjiang Street Night Market 20040610.jpg|thumb|A typical night market in Taiwan may sell anything from food to clothing to fortune telling services]] As in many Asian countries, night markets are a staple of Taiwanese entertainment, shopping and eating. Night markets are open-air markets, usually on a street or alleyway, with vendors selling all sorts of wares on every side. In the larger cities you will have a night market every night and in the same place. In smaller cities, they are only open certain nights of the week, and may move to different streets depending on the day of the week. Every city has at least one night market; larger cities like [[Taipei]] may have a dozen or more. Night markets are crowded, so remember to watch out for your wallet! Shops selling the same items tend to congregate in the same part of the city. If you want to buy something, ask someone to take you to one shop and there will probably be shops selling similar things nearby. There are many shopping centers in Taipei where prices are usually fixed and goods are genuine. Otherwise, shopping streets in larger cities like [[Kaohsiung]] and [[Taichung]] can also easily get you what you want. And of course, there is the trendy Ximending (西門町) in Taipei, where you can pretty much find anything associated with the youths, also at fixed prices. Computer chain shops and department stores normally have fixed prices, but at least in department stores you may get a "registered member discount" if you're shopping a lot. Prices at smaller stores and even some hostels are normally cash prices. If you like to use a credit card, the seller normally wants to add anything up to 8% to the price as a "card fee" etc. The fee consists actually of the credit company's commission and also the local sales tax/VAT. If you pay cash, you might not get an official receipt, as then the seller would have to report and pay their taxes in full. If you ask for a receipt or "fa piao" (發票), you will get it but you may need to pay 3-5% more. ===Bargaining=== Whilst [[bargaining]] was OK in the past and expected in night markets as well as smaller stores, nowadays most prices are fixed. Taiwan has become a sophisticated and wealthy country where most Taiwanese, especially from the cities, generally do not request discounts and any such are likely to receive a friendly ''No''. Nevertheless, you will encounter different prices, e.g. cut fruits will cost NT$30 at the Night Market, but NT$80 in tourist areas. However, it is possible to get a discount of NT$20-100 when renting a motorbike/bicycle, searching for accommodation or such, depending on the circumstances and time of day. While you might miss a general bargaining culture and be bewildered by the general bargain inflexibility of Taiwanese, it can on the other hand be calming to know that no one will try to rip you off as it is common in other less-developed Southeast Asian countries. === What to buy === Popular things to buy include: * '''Jade'''. Although it can be hard to know for sure if the item you're buying is real jade or not, some beautiful objects are sold. Most cities have a specific jade market dealing in jade and other precious stones. * '''Computers'''. Taiwan designs and produces a lot of desktops, laptops, and PC peripherals. Travelers might be interested in visiting the large Information Technology Market at Taiwan for the best prices. Desktop computers and components tend to be the same price in Taiwan as in other areas of the world, though peripherals such as cables and adapters tend to be noticeably cheaper. If you're buying domestic, it's best to go to tourist hangouts to buy your stuff as you might be saddled with Chinese documentation otherwise. Also, notebooks are typically only available with a Chinese Bopomofo and English keyboard. * '''Lingzhi''' (靈芝). A type of bracket fungus that is often used as a Chinese herb. It supposedly has many health benefits with an apparent absence of side effects, earning it a high reputation in East Asian countries and making it rather expensive. Taiwanese lingzhi is particularly famous for being of the highest quality. * '''[[Tea]]'''. Taiwan is particularly famous for its oolong tea (烏龍茶) due to the island's predominant Fujianese culture; it is available at many tea shops. Tea tasting in Chinese culture is akin to wine tasting in Western culture and you will find many grades of this same type of tea, with different methods of treating the tea leaves. * '''[[w:Iron egg|Iron eggs]]''' (鐵蛋) irresistible delicacy In order to protect the environment, a government policy rules that plastic bags cannot be given freely at stores in Taiwan, but have to be bought (at a flat rate of NT$1)—bakeries being an exception as the items need to be hygienically wrapped. Re-usable canvas and nylon bags are sold at most supermarkets. == Eat == {{seealso|Chinese cuisine}} {{infobox|Stinky tofu|Undoubtedly the most infamous Taiwanese delicacy, stinky tofu (臭豆腐 ''chòudòufu'') is fermented tofu with a strong odor often likened to rotting garbage. It's usually sold only by outdoor stalls, as the smell would overwhelm most restaurants, but if you can hold your nose long enough to eat it, the taste is quite mild &mdash; but with distinct earthy overtones that many visitors find off-putting. It's most commonly eaten fried, but for extra Fear Factor points, find some ''mala'' hotpot (麻辣鍋) with stinky tofu and gelatinized duck blood.}} [[File:Food_BeefNoodleSoup.JPG|thumb|Taiwanese beef noodle soup]] [[File:Food_AiyuLemonJelly.JPG|thumb|Lemon ''aiyu'' jelly]] Taiwan is a food lover's paradise, and a popular culinary tourism destination for East and Southeast Asian tourists. While not as highly regarded as the food from Hong Kong due to the traditionally high status Cantonese cuisine holds in Chinese culture, Taiwanese food has become more respected. Generally speaking, the foods of Taiwan are derived from '''mainland Chinese cuisines'''. Because most Taiwanese trace their ancestry to [[Fujian]], it comes as no surprise that much of Taiwanese cuisine was derived from the cuisine of Fujian. It is also possible to find [[Szechuan]] (四川) food, [[Hunan]] (湖南) food, [[Dongbei]] (東北) food, [[Guangdong|Cantonese]] (廣東) food and almost every other Chinese cuisine on the island, because many famous chefs from the mainland fled to Taiwan after the communist victory in 1949, and many Nationalist soldiers brought their family recipes with them when retreating from the mainland. That being said, Taiwanese cuisine has absorbed substantial local influences, and significant Japanese influences because of 50 years of Japanese colonial rule, giving it a unique character that distinguishes it from its mainland Chinese counterparts. The Taiwanese are also passionately in love with eggs and seafood. Fruits are another famous part of Taiwanese food. A wide range of fruits can be found at local fruit shops and stations. The subtropical climate allows different fruits to grow nicely. Taiwan also has many of its own '''local specialties'''. A few found island wide include: * '''[[w:Beef noodles|Beef Noodles]]''' (牛肉麵 ''niúròu miàn'') – Noodle soup with chunks of meltingly soft stewed beef and a dash of pickles derived from the cuisines of Sichuan. * '''[[w:Oyster omelette|Oyster omelette]]''' (蚵仔煎 ''ó āh jiān'' – This is the Taiwanese name, as its Chinese name only exists in characters, but not in oral Mandarin), a dish made from eggs, oysters, sweet potato flour and the leaves of a local chrysanthemum, topped with sweet red sauce. The local version in [[Kinmen]] differs quite considerably from the version on the main island, and is closer to the versions served in mainland China's Fujian province. * '''[[w:Aiyu jelly|Aiyu jelly]]''' (愛玉 ''àiyù'') – Made from the seeds of a local fig and usually served on ice &mdash; sweet, cool and refreshing on a hot day * '''Taiwan Sausage''' (香腸 ''xiāngcháng'') – Usually made from pork, it is a modified version of the Cantonese ''laap cheong'' (臘腸) which has been emulsified and is much sweeter in taste. Unlike ''laap cheong'', which is almost always eaten with rice, Taiwanese ''xiangchang'' is usually eaten on its own with some garlic. * '''Taiwanese Orange''' (柳丁 ''liŭdīng'') – A type of citrus fruit which is similar to usual oranges, except that the skin and flesh tend to look more yellowish like lemon. Unlike lemon, it is usually quite sweet. * '''Taiwanese Porridge''' (粥 ''zhōu'' in Mandarin, 糜 ''beh'' in Taiwanese) — Rice porridge cooked with sweet potato eaten all across China but most commonly in Fujian. It is usually eaten with several different dishes or eaten by people with illnesses. * '''[[w:Braised pork rice|Braised pork rice]]''' (滷肉飯 ''lǔ ròu fàn'') – Rice topped with pork belly that has been stewed in dark soy sauce and other spices and chopped into tiny pieces. A classic Taiwanese comfort dish. For a less fatty version, ask for 肉燥飯 (''ròu zào fàn''), which uses minced pork instead. * '''[[w:Taiwan Railway Bento|Railway Bento]]''' (臺鐵便當 ''Tái tiě biàndang'') - A national culinary icon and Taiwanese train tradition, this takeaway dish is a holdover of the Japanese era, and celebrated in Taiwan. The most popular bento is the braised pork cutlet bento. You can find this dish at train stations in Taiwan (though locals compare the quality of railway bento on a station-by-station basis), but adaptations are sold by various restaurants across Taiwan. Most cities and towns in Taiwan are famous for special foods because of the Taiwanese passion for food and influences from many different countries. For example, Ilan (宜蘭) is famous for its mochi (麻吉), a sticky rice snack often flavored with sesame, peanuts or other flavorings. [[Yungho|Yonghe]] (永和), a suburb of Taipei, is famous for its freshly made soy milk (豆漿) and breakfast foods. [[Taichung]] is famous for its sun cakes (太陽餅 ''tàiyáng bǐng''), a kind of sweet stuffed pastry. In [[Chiayi]], it's square cookies, also called cubic pastry (方塊酥), crispy layered cookies cut into squares and sprinkled liberally with sesame seeds. [[Tainan]] is particularly famous among the Taiwanese for its abundance of good food and should be a stop for all gourmands. The most famous dish is arguably the ''coffin bread'' (棺材板). Virtually every city has its own famous specialties; many Taiwanese tourists will visit other cities on the island simply to try the local foods and then return home. Taiwan also has remarkably good '''bakery items'''. Most specialize in sweet Chinese pastries or Western pastries adjusted to local tastes, but look out for ''We Care'' bakeries which also offer Western options such as whole wheat loaves, sour breads and ciabatta. Vegetarians are better catered for in restaurants and variety than in most other countries. Michelin publishes a [https://guide.michelin.com/tw/en/taipei-region/taipei guide] to restaurants in Taipei. That said, it does not cover the whole of Taiwan, and most locals only take the Michelin guide with a pinch of salt. === Places to eat === If you're on a budget, the cheapest food can be found in back-alley noodle shops and night market stalls, where you can get a filling bowl of noodles for around NT$35-70. The Taiwanese love to snack and even many restaurants advertise ''xiaochi'' (小吃), literally "small eats", the Taiwanese equivalent of Cantonese ''dim sum''. There are also the standard '''fast food''' places such as McDonalds (a standard Big Mac Meal costs NT$115), KFC and MOS Burger. In addition there are large numbers of convenience stores (such as 7-Eleven and Family Mart) that sell things like tea eggs, sandwiches, bento boxes (便當盒) and drinks. Night markets are also a good place to try some delicious local Taiwanese fare at attractive prices. Examples would be the Shilin Night Market (士林夜市) in [[Taipei]] and the Ruifeng Night Market (瑞豐夜市) in [[Kaohsiung]], each of which has its own special dishes not to be missed. === Etiquette === As with Chinese cuisine elsewhere, food in Taiwan is generally eaten with chopsticks and served on large plates placed at the center of the table and shared among multiple people. Oftentimes, a serving spoon or pair of chopsticks (公筷 ''gōngkuài'') accompanies the dishes and guests do not use their own chopsticks to transfer food to their plates. The usual traditional Chinese taboos when eating with chopsticks apply in Taiwan as well. For instance, do not stick your chopsticks straight up or into your bowl of rice. This is reminiscent of incense sticks at a temple, and has connotations of wishing death upon those around you. When putting down chopsticks, either place them on the provided porcelain chopstick rest (at fancier restaurants) or rest the chopsticks across the top of your bowl. Also, do not use your chopsticks to spear your food or move bowls and plates. See [[Chinese cuisine#Etiquette|Chinese table etiquette]] for more details. Although there are minor differences between Taiwanese and mainland Chinese etiquette, much of traditional Chinese table manners apply to Taiwan too. === Dietary restrictions === ====Vegetarians==== [[File:Sush Manji.JPG|thumb|The characters 素食 signal the availability of vegetarian food]] All Mahayana Buddhists, which account for the majority of adherents in Taiwan, aspire to be pure '''vegetarian''' in deference to the Buddha's teaching of non-violence and compassion. So, vegetarian restaurants (called ''su-shi'' 素食 ''tsan-ting'' 餐廳 in Mandarin, and often identified with the 卍 symbol) can be found in abundance all over the island, and they run from cheap buffet style to gourmet and organic. Buffet styled restaurants (called 自助餐, which means "Serve Yourself Restaurant") are common in almost every neighborhood in large cities, and unlike the 'all-you-can-eat' buffets (which charge a set price, usually ranging from NT$250-350 including dessert and coffee/tea), the cost is estimated by the weight of the food on your plate. Rice (there is usually a choice of brown or white) is charged separately, but soup or cold tea is free and you can refill as many times as you like. NT$90-120 will buy you a good sized, nutritious meal. However, if you cannot find a veggie restaurant, don't fret. Taiwanese people are very flexible and most restaurants will be happy to cook you up something to suit your requirements. The following sentences in Mandarin might be helpful: 我吃素 (''Wǒ chī sù'') - I'm vegetarian, 我不吃肉 (''Wǒ bù chī ròu'') - I don't eat meat. However, as Mandarin is a tonal language, you might need to say both, plus practice your acting skills to get yourself understood. Good luck! NB: If a restaurant refuses your order, don't push the issue. The reason will not be an unwillingness to accommodate your request, but because the basic ingredients of their dishes may include chicken broth or pork fat. Taiwanese vegetarianism (素食) isn't simply vegetarianism, for there is a notion of "plainness" to it. In most cases it excludes items such onion, ginger, and garlic. Buddhists and Taoists consider these items "un-plain" because they potentially cause physical excitement, which could hinder the meditative process. Thus, when offering food to a strict vegetarian, be aware that they may not eat food containing onion, ginger, and garlic. Although vegetarian restaurants in Taiwan do not aspire to '''vegan''' principles, almost all non-dessert dishes at Chinese style veggie restaurants will actually be vegan because Taiwanese do not have a tradition of eating dairy products. Ensure that your dish does not contain eggs, however. ====Allergies==== Awareness of '''food allergies''' is limited in Taiwan. If you can speak Chinese, you can ask restaurant staff about whether the food contains common allergens like peanuts or shellfish, and depending on the chef, they may be able to make some adjustments to accommodate you. Don't expect that level of accommodation from night markets stalls though. A serious '''soy''' allergy is basically incompatible with Taiwanese cuisine due to the prevalence of soy sauce as an ingredient, and '''gluten-free''' diets are very difficult to come by due to the very low incidence of celiac disease in Taiwan. '''Dairy''' is not commonly used in traditional Taiwanese cuisine, so avoiding it should be straightforward for lactose-intolerant people. ====Religious diets==== People on religious diets will have a ''hard time'' in Taiwan, and you will need to do some planning in advance. [[Islam|Muslims]] should contact the [http://www.cmainroc.org.tw Chinese Muslim Association] for advice on where to find ''halal'' food, while [[Judaism|Jews]] should contact the [https://www.jewish.tw/ Chabad Taiwan] for information on where to find ''kosher'' food. == Drink == [[File:HeySong beverage vending machine 20120917.jpg|thumb|Drinks vending machine in Taiwan]] As Taiwan is a subtropical island with the south part in the tropics, it cannot hurt to drink a lot, especially during summertime. Drink vending machines can be found virtually everywhere and are filled with all kinds of juices, tea and coffee drinks, soy milk and mineral water. === Alcohol === Taiwan's legal age to consume alcohol is 18 years of age. Minors caught drinking can face fines ranging from NT$10,000-50,000. Traditional alcoholic drinks in Taiwan are very strong. '''Kaoliang''' (高粱酒) from [[Kinmen]] is the most famous alcoholic drink. A distilled grain liquor, it is extremely strong, usually 140 proof or more, and often drunk straight. Taiwan also produces many types of '''Shaoxing''' (紹興酒), rice wine, which are considered by many as being some of the best in the world. While a relatively newcomer to the scene, Taiwanese '''[[whisky]]''' (威士忌) has been making waves in the 21st century, with local whiskey brand [http://www.kavalanwhisky.com/ Kavalan] having emerged from obscurity to win numerous prestigious international awards. Taiwanese people enjoy beer on ice. A wide variety of imported beers are available, but the standard is '''Taiwan Beer''' (台灣啤酒), produced by a former government monopoly. It is brewed with fragrant penglai rice in addition to barley giving it a distinctive flavor. The beer is served cold and recognized as an especially suitable complement to Taiwanese and Japanese cuisine, especially seafood dishes such as sushi and sashimi. Taiwan Beer has won international awards, including the International Monde Selection in 1977 and the Brewing Industry International Awards in 2002. Beer on tap is uncommon in Taiwan, and most places serve beer in bottles. For a special and rare treat, ask for the Taiwan Draft Beer (台灣生啤酒), which comes in a plain green bottle. This has a 2-week expiration, so it can only be found at the breweries (there are a few scattered around Taiwan) or at select stores and restaurants in the vicinity. === Tea and coffee === [[File:TimeForTea BubbleTea.JPG|thumb|Pearl milk tea and pudding milk tea, [[Chiayi]]]] Taiwan's specialty teas are '''High Mountain Oolong''' (高山烏龍, ''Gao-shan wulong''), a fragrant light tea, and '''Tie Guan-yin''' (鐵觀音), a dark, rich brew. Enjoying this tea, served in the traditional way using a very small teapot and tiny cups, is an experience you should not miss. This way of taking tea is called ''lao ren cha'' (老人茶), 'old people's tea', and the name is derived from the fact that only the elderly traditionally had the luxury of time to relax and enjoy tea in this way. Check the small print when visiting a traditional tea house though: in addition to the tea itself, you may be charged a cover (茶水費, literally "tea-water fee") for the elaborate process of preparing it and for any nibbles served on the side. One should also try '''Lei cha''' (擂茶; léi chá) a tasty and nourishing Hakka Chinese tea-based dish consisting of a mix ground tea leaves and rice. Some stores specialize in this product and allows one to grind their own lei cha. As with Chinese teas elsewhere, Chinese teas in Taiwan are always drunk neat, with the use of milk or sugar unknown. However, Taiwan is also the birthplace of pearl milk tea, which uses sugar and milk. '''Pearl milk tea''' (珍珠奶茶 ''zhēnzhū nǎichá''), aka "bubble tea" or "boba tea", is milky tea with chewy balls of tapioca added, drunk through an over-sized straw. Invented in Taiwan in the early 1980s and a huge Asia-wide craze in the 1990s, it's not quite as popular as it once was but can still be found at nearly every coffee or tea shop. Look for a shop where it is freshly made. There are two cafes that maintain rival claims to having invented the drink: '''[https://chunshuitang.com.tw/ Chun Shui Tang]''' (春水堂) in [[Taichung]] and '''[http://www.hanlin-tea.com.tw/ Hanlin Tea Room]''' (翰林茶館) in [[Tainan]]. The '''cafe culture''' has hit Taiwan in a big way, and in addition to an abundance of privately owned cafes, all the major chains, such as Starbucks, have a multitude of branches throughout major towns and cities. === Soft drinks === Taiwan is a great place for fruit drinks. Small fruit-juice bars make them fresh on the spot and are experts at creating fruit-juice cocktails (non-alcoholic, of course). ''zong-he'' (mixed) is usually a sweet and sour combination and ''mu-gwa niou-nai'' (木瓜牛奶) is iced papaya milk. If you don't want ice (though it is safe in Taiwan, even at road side vendors) say, ''chu bing'' (去冰) and no sugar (''wu tang'' (無糖)). '''Soy milk''', or ''doujiang'' (豆漿), is a great treat. Try it hot or cold. Savory soy milk is a traditional Taiwanese breakfast dish. It is somewhat of an acquired taste as vinegar is added to curdle the milk. Both sweet and savory soy milk are often ordered with you-tiao (油條), or deep fried dough crullers. There are a lot of pseudo health drinks in Taiwanese supermarkets and convenience stores. Look out for asparagus juice and lavender milk tea for example. == Sleep == [[File:GrandHotel Fountain.JPG|thumb|250px|The Grand Hotel, Taipei]] ===Types=== * For the budget-minded, there are '''hostels''' in Taipei and most other sizable cities. Some hostels are under table which mean they don't have valid license. * '''Motels''' (汽車旅館) can be easily found in suburbs of major cities. Despite the name, these have little if anything to do with the cheap functional hotels that use the name elsewhere; in Taiwan, motels are intended for '''romantic trysts''' and can be quite extravagant in decor and facilities. Many feature enormous baths with massage jets, separate massage showers, marble tiles, and so forth. Suites come with flat screen TVs and centrally controlled sound systems. During the daytime, most offer "rests" (休息) of a few hours, and indeed check-in times for overnight stays (住宿) can be as late at 22:00. [[Taichung]] is considered the motel-capital of Taiwan. * Taiwanese '''hotels''' range in quality from seedy to very luxurious. Despite the complexities of doing business with both mainland China and Taiwan, most Western hotel chains operate in Taiwan such as Sheraton, Westin and Hyatt. Also, there are plenty of five-star hotels around. Keep in mind, however, that many of the international hotels tend to be outrageously expensive, while comparable and much cheaper accommodation is usually available in the same vicinity. For example, the airport hotel at CKS International charges about three or four times as much as a hotel in Taoyuan which is a half hour cab ride away. Taxi drivers and tourist offices are invaluable resources for finding cheaper hotels. * A uniquely Taiwanese form of accommodation is known as the '''''minsu''''' (民宿), which is similar to Bed and Breakfast accommodation that you usually find in the UK. Although typically cheaper than hotels, the facilities can often be as good as those of some higher end hotels, and many are designed around a specific theme (like fairy tale castle, nature lodge) Accommodation at a minsu typically includes breakfast the next morning, and higher end ones sometimes also give you the option of having a home-cooked style dinner. The downside is that most minsu are either in residential suburbs or in the countryside, meaning that transportation is typically less convenient that at centrally located hotels, and the availability of wi-fi can be a hit or miss. In addition, most minsu advertise in Chinese only. * '''Camping''' does not seem to be an issue in Taiwan and is available in many areas, even in national parks like [[Kenting National Park]]. Although, in [[Taroko Gorge|Taroko Gorge (National Park)]] you will have to pay for the camp ground. In general, a small fees may apply at official camp grounds. Inquire with the local tourist information center where it is possible to camp and where not. Also, be aware there are "poisonous snakes and wasps" signs all over the country. So, make sure you know where you are camping, and how to keep out "unwanted guests". Consult a map like [http://openpoimap.org/?map=hotels&zoom=14&lat=21.93964&lon=120.72386&layers=B00FFTFFFFFFFF OpenStreetMap], which many mobile Apps like [http://osmand.net/ OsmAnd], and [https://maps.me/ MAPS.ME], use, to find existing camp grounds or good locations. ===Remarks=== Nowadays, '''walk-ins''' are often more expensive that online bookings, especially with bigger hotels. It often seems, they cannot even beat their own online prices and you might need to book online instead of paying in cash on-sight&mdash;they will even courteously offer their WiFi for you to do that. Either way, it is advisable that you know what is the actual price online, which gives you a good bargaining ground. Sometimes they will quote a higher price, sometimes they will give you NT$50 less, but often it is just the online price. If you are still in need of a discount, send the ho(s)tel an email or WeChat/Line message quoting the online price. Some will give you 10 % discount on the online price this way, especially for same day short notice bookings. Generally, short notice bookings will give you a better price, since hotels are trying to sell their stock at a bargain price last-minute. However, do not try this for Saturday/Sunday or Holiday/Holiday bookings, this will leave you with bad or no options. Many hotels in Taiwan have both Chinese and Western names, which can differ radically. Find out and bring along the Chinese name (in Chinese characters), as locals will usually not be able to identify the English ones. Hotel beds in Taiwan are generally much harder than in the West because of the old Asian tradition to sleep on a wood board. Modern mattresses can be found in most hotels, but only in the most upscale Western style hotels will you find beds in a real western style. Many accommodations are not staffed 24/7, but they will leave a contact at their door. Often this will be a '''WeChat''' or '''Line''' contact, which are like WhatsApp. Thus, it makes sense to get these apps while traveling in Taiwan. Agoda seems to list more accommodation options than Booking for Taiwan. However, Agoda's way of claiming additional fees and stating dorm bed availability is a little dodgy. It often says "1 person in a dorm" but then "Occupancy: 2 adults". So, better to book each person separately just in case. Also, never choose the option to get charged in you credit card's home currency (€, US$, or so). This will give you a very bad exchange rate. Always select "TWD" as charged currency&mdash;in this case your home bank is indeed your friend. '''Or''' just get the displayed address/GPS, which is always fully displayed, and walk into the hotel. == Learn == Taiwan is home to several good universities, many of which have exchange agreements with various foreign universities, and these are a good way to experience life in Taiwan. The most prestigious university in Taiwan is the '''[https://www.ntu.edu.tw/english/ National Taiwan University]''' (國立臺灣大學). === Mandarin Chinese === Some universities in Taiwan have Chinese Promoting Programs (華語文推廣中心) that offers Chinese lessons to foreigners who wish to live in Taiwan or to learn Mandarin Chinese as their second or foreign language. The romanisation system taught here nowadays is Hanyu Pinyin (漢語拼音), whereas in the past they taught Zhuyin (注音), or BoPoMoFo (ㄅㄆㄇㄈ). The writing system taught is Traditional Chinese and the form of Mandarin is based on the Beijing dialect but the Taiwanese accent is quite noticeable. === [[Martial arts]] === There are many styles of '''kung fu''' (功夫) taught in Taiwan, largely by masters who came here with the Kuomintang in the late 1940s. Styles include Ba Gua (八卦), Tai Chi (太極), Wing Chun (詠春), Praying Mantis (螳螂), Shway (水) Shiao and various weapons systems. Many of the students are westerners in these classes, which has led to the rise of several [http://www.theallegra.com/ NHB Allegra] schools, and Brazilian Ju Jitsu, Russian Sambo, Japanese Aikido. Some of the more famous teachers will provide you with the paperwork needed to extend a student visa twice. Taekwondo is also extremely popular and is often a mandatory part of school children's physical education. == Work == [[File:Kaohsiung birdseyeview.jpg|thumb|Kaohsiung skyline]] The majority of travelers who work in Taiwan pick up temporary jobs [[teaching English]]. Jobs teaching other languages (mainly European or Japanese) do exist but have a much smaller proportion of the market. '''Job requirements''': In finding employment with a language school, experience, teaching qualifications and references are not required but obviously help. On paper, a big issue is also made about accents, with the North American English accent being heavily favored over British, Australian and South African accents in many language schools' sales marketing. However, in practice, many schools that advertise 'American English' and claim that their teachers are all from Canada or the USA, actually employ teachers from anywhere. Age is a factor, with applicants in their 20s seemingly being preferred. More than anything, appearance is probably the major factor in finding employment with most schools—Do you 'look Western'?—and reliability and turning up on time for work is then the major factor for keeping your job. Therefore, if you look the part, it is very easy to find a school willing to take you on for at least a few days. This 'look Western' point has quite a bearing. Unfortunately, Taiwan is hardly a great promoter of '''equal opportunities'''. In many schools there is a prejudice against teachers applying for jobs who are not of white appearance, seen as the typical Western appearance in Asian countries. This is independent of whether or not the teacher has relevant teaching ability and citizenship of one of the permitted ARC countries. Many parents who send their children to schools to be taught English expect the teacher to look like they are from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Australia, and so on, and so the decision on the part of the school managers is mainly about economics. For those affected by this, it's a sad fact of Taiwan that is unlikely to change in the near future. Good employers without such prejudiced requirements do exist, but greater perseverance is needed when looking for them. It is illegal to work without a '''work permit''' and an ARC (or Alien Residency Permit), and legal work requires a university degree and usually a long (over two month) application process. Alternatively, if you have a lot of money, you can obtain an '''investor visa''' by investing a large sum of money in a local business, which allows you to work for that company in a management capacity. However, illegal employment is easy to find with many school managers being willing to pay under the table for short durations. If caught or reported, you risk criminal charges and could be deported. The government tends to waver from being very lax on this issue under one administration to suddenly taking action under the next; but it only takes one disgruntled student to report you and have you fined and deported. Consider your options carefully! The '''rules for getting an ARC''' do change often and each administrative part of Taiwan has its own ways of handling them, so it is best to check the pages of the [http://www.forumosa.com/taiwan/index.php website Forumosa] and find out what the experiences of others are in your area. Keep in mind, that you can only get an ARC for English teaching if you are a 'citizen of a native English speaking country'. Taiwan's government defines these countries to be only the U.S., Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and South Africa. Almost all teachers apply for an ARC through their employers only after starting work and it is tied to their ongoing employment with that school. Therefore, if the teacher wishes to leave their employment, they will have to quickly find an alternative employer or lose their ARC and hence be required to leave Taiwan. Also, very few schools will arrange an ARC without at least a year-long contract being signed. Frankly, with all this inflexibility, it's no wonder so many teachers opt for the non-legal route. That and tax evasion. Citizens of Germany, Australia, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Ireland and Canada aged 18–30 can apply for a '''working holiday visa'''. For more information, visit the [http://www.boca.gov.tw/lp.asp?ctNode=783&CtUnit=80&BaseDSD=7&mp=2 Bureau of Consular Affairs website]. After living in Taiwan continuously for 5 years, you may apply for '''permanent residency'''. If granted, it allows you to live and work in Taiwan indefinitely without restrictions. A lot of the illegal teaching work that the majority of English teachers partake in is simply through '''private student''' tuition with payment being cash-in-hand. You can find a lot of private students around universities that have a Chinese-teaching department—look for the areas where all the foreign students are and check the noticeboards. Because the majority of adult private students want to practice English conversation, you won't need to have any Chinese ability. However, it is definitely a selling point and, if you do have Chinese-speaking ability, it's worthwhile mentioning that in any advertising of your services. Also, once you have some regular students, remember that in Taiwan, as in most Asian countries, 'connections' or 'guanxi' are very important. If your students like you, they will in all likelihood recommend you to their family and friends. Teaching English in Taiwan can be lucrative, as the '''salaries''' are very high compared to the cost of living, typically ranging NT$500-650 per hour before deductions in most language schools, with anything between NT$500-1,000 per hour being negotiable for private students. In the past few years, the flow of would-be teachers into Taiwan has increased dramatically, resulting in stiffer competition for jobs and a general drop in wages, and this trend may continue. Employers of English teachers are notorious for racial discrimination. White people are much more likely to get better offers than those of other races, regardless of ability. Aside from English-teaching, '''other common kinds of employment''' available for mainly native English-speaking travelers include such tid-bits as small acting parts for TV and film, voice talent (video games, dubbing tracks, etc.), editing and even writing educational materials. Many of these jobs are advertised on billboards in Chinese language-teaching institutes and universities, where there are likely to be many foreign students. If after traveling and living there, you find you are '''serious about working in Taiwan''', the most lucrative employment to be had is if you are employed by a multinational company, perhaps in a high-paying country like the UK, U.S. or Australia, and you are sent across to their office in Taiwan. Many foreigners end up doing the same job as their colleagues who were employed in the Taiwan office, but for perhaps 3 or 4 times their pay. == Stay safe == {{warningbox|'''Taiwan treats drug offenses ''extremely'' severely.''' The '''death penalty is mandatory''' for those convicted of trafficking, manufacturing, importing or exporting more than 15 g of heroin, 30 g of morphine, 30 g of cocaine, 500 g of cannabis, 200 g of cannabis resin and 1.2 kg of opium, and possession of these quantities is all that is needed for you to be convicted. Unauthorized consumption can result in up to 10 years' jail, or a heavy fine, or both. You can be charged for unauthorized consumption as long as traces of illicit drugs are found in your system, even if you can prove that they were consumed outside the country and you can be charged for trafficking as long as drugs are found in bags that are in your possession or in your room, even if they aren't yours and regardless of whether you're aware of them. Therefore, be vigilant of your possessions.}} === Crime === [[File:CKS Airport drugs sign.JPG|thumb|A sign at the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport warns arriving travelers that drug trafficking is a capital offense in the country.]] Taiwan is very safe for tourists, even for women walking down the street alone at night. This is not to say, however, that there is no crime, and you should always exercise caution. In crowded areas such as night markets or festivals, for example, [[pickpockets]] are a known problem. However, it is fair to say that the streets of Taiwan are generally very safe and that violent crime and muggings are very rare. In addition, it is also very unusual to see drunks on the street, day or night. Like anywhere else in the world, women should be cautious when taking taxis alone late at night. Although they are generally safe, it's a good idea to arrange to have a friend call you when you get home and to be seen making the arrangements for this by the cab driver. It also helps if a friend sees you being picked up as taxis have visible license numbers. As an additional safety precaution, tell taxi drivers just the street name and section instead of your exact address. [[File:RPO First Police Section Taoyaun Police Station in Taoyuan Station.jpg|thumb|A police station in Taiwan]] Police departments in most jurisdictions have a Foreign Affairs Police unit staffed by English-speaking officers. When reporting a major crime, it is advisable to contact the Foreign Affairs unit in addition to officers at the local precinct. Police stations are marked with a red light above the door and display a sign with the word "Police" clearly printed in English. For more information see the [http://www.npa.gov.tw National Police Agency website ]. Foreign victims of a major crime in Taiwan are also advised to report the matter to their government's representative office in Taipei. Also, remember that you call 110 for police in Taiwan, and 119 for fire department or medical help. Most of the public telephone booths allow you to call 110 or 119 for free. See "Emergency Phone Numbers" section below. Taiwan is home to many triads (Chinese organized crime syndicates), although they almost never target the average person in the street, and most tourists will not encounter them. Many operate human trafficking rings involving the sale of poor women from Southeast Asia into sex slavery that the government has struggled to tackle. They are also often involved in illegal betting and loansharking, so it is best to be prudent and avoid these. ===Military exercises=== [[File:20160225 台東縣政新聞 萬安39號演習25日下午實施 9ebfd80f-d8a3-4444-8eca-58d3473dff15.jpg|thumb|Evacuated streets during Wan-an Exercise.]] The Taiwanese military organizes regular civil-defense exercise, known as Wan-an Exercise (萬安演習). Air raid sirens are activated for 30 minutes during the exercise, and you are required to follow any evacuation orders made by the military and police. *If you are in a building, you should close all windows and doors and turn off lights. *If you are driving, you must '''pull over your vehicle and make a complete stop'''. Vehicles must not enter any motorways, but must leave the motorway and pull over your vehicle in exits. Traffic police will give proper instructions to drivers and regulate traffic flow. *If you are taking a train/metro, you must not enter the train or leave the station, and should follow evacuation orders given by railway staff, the military and the police. Failure to comply with instructions can result in a heavy fine. === Emergency phone numbers === * '''Police''': 110 *'''Fire/Ambulance''': 119 The police and fire/ambulance offer service in English. For those who need Taiwanese governmental assistance in English, [https://www.immigration.gov.tw/5475/5478/6928/6940/ this website] has a 24-hour toll-free foreigner service hotline at 0800-024-111, which you may call for assistance. === Natural hazards === Taiwan often experiences '''[[Cyclones|typhoons]]''' (颱風) during the summer months and early fall, especially on the East Coast. Heavy monsoon rainfall also occurs during the summer. Hikers and mountaineers should be sure to consult weather reports before heading into the mountains. A major hazard following heavy rainfall in the mountains is falling rocks (土石流) caused by the softening of the earth and there are occasional reports of people being killed or injured by these. Taiwan is also on the Pacific Ring of Fire, which means that '''[[earthquakes]]''' are a common occurrence. Most earthquakes are barely noticeable, though the effect may be slightly amplified for those in higher buildings. While the local building codes are extremely strict, general precautions should still be observed during an earthquake, including opening the door to prevent it from being jammed, taking cover and checking for gas leaks afterwards. While most newer buildings have been built according to strict codes that enable them to withstand major earthquakes, some of the older buildings were not constructed to such high standards and therefore are vulnerable to serious damage or collapse in the case of a strong tremor. Taiwan's wild areas are home to a variety of '''poisonous snakes''', including the bamboo viper, Russel's viper, banded krait, coral snake, Chinese cobra, Taiwan habu, and the so-called "hundred pacer" (百步蛇). Precautions against snake bites include making plenty of noise as you hike, wearing long trousers and avoiding overgrown trails. Most snakes are scared of humans, so if you make noise you will give them time to get away. Walking quietly means that you may suddenly startle them around a corner when you appear, and trigger an attack. The Russel's viper, one of the most dangerous snakes in Taiwan, is an exception: it generally prefers to take a stand against threats. === Traffic === Local drivers have a well-deserved reputation for seeming reckless and downright immoral. It is possible (even normal) to obtain a driving license in Taiwan without ever having driven on the roads, and this may be a reason (along with the overcrowded roads) why courteous or defensive driving is definitely not the norm. The guiding principles seem to be that the right of way belongs to the larger vehicle, i.e. trucks have the right-of-way over cars, cars over motorcycles, motorcycles over people, etc. Despite traffic's chaotic appearance, it is viscerally intuitive to yield the right-of-way to a much larger vehicle barreling towards you. It is advisable to use slow and smooth movements over quick or sudden ones. Local drivers regularly cut in front of moving traffic into spaces that seem too small, try to change lanes regardless of the fact their destination is already full, etc. Be aware that during busy traffic (i.e., nearly always) two-lane roads will spontaneously become three-lane, an orange light will be interpreted as 'speed up', and the smallest moment's pause in oncoming traffic will result in ''everybody'' that's waiting trying to turn across it. Drivers routinely enter a junction when their exit is blocked, and are therefore frequently still there long after the lights change, blocking traffic traveling in other directions. Many motorcycle riders also have a tendency to zip through any space, no matter how tiny. Also be aware that motorcycles often travel through areas typically considered pedestrian-only spaces, like the night-markets. If you drive a car or a motorcycle, the obvious rule is that if someone turns in front of you, you should be the one to adapt. To avoid collisions, drivers need to be extremely vigilant for other vehicles creating hazards and always be willing to adjust speed or direction to accommodate. Do not expect drivers to yield way, or respect traffic lights in many areas, especially in central and southern Taiwan. Sounding the horn is the usual way a Taiwanese driver indicates that they do not intend to accommodate a driver trying to encroach on their lane, etc., and does not necessarily imply the anger or criticism, as it does in other countries. One bright side of Taiwan's chaotic traffic is that drivers tend to have an exceptional awareness of the spatial extents of their vehicle and maneuver well, so that even though it continuously looks like somebody is about to drive straight into you, it's relatively rare that they actually do so. Be extra careful when crossing the road, even to the extent of looking both ways on a one-way street. When crossing at a pedestrian crossing at a T-junction or crossroads, be aware that when the little green man lights up and you start crossing, motorists will still try to turn right, with or without a green feeder light. Even on roads where traffic is infrequent and the green light is in your favor, bike riders are still strongly advised to check the opposite lane. ===Homosexuality=== Taiwan is generally a safe destination for gay and lesbian travelers. There are no laws against homosexuality in Taiwan and unprovoked violence against gays and lesbians is almost unheard of. Same-sex marriage was legalised in Taiwan on 24 May 2019, making it the first Asian country to do so. Taiwan is also the first East Asian country to have enacted anti-discrimination laws on the basis of sexual orientation in the areas of education and employment. There is an annual gay pride event called Taiwan Pride. Taipei is home to a vibrant gay scene, and there are also gay bars in some of Taiwan's other cities like Taichung and Kaohsiung. Acceptance among the Taiwanese public tends to be measured, and homosexuality is still considered to be somewhat of a social taboo, particularly by the older generation. Openly displaying your sexual orientation in public is likely to draw stares and whispers from some people. Nevertheless, attitudes are changing and homosexuality tends to be more accepted by the younger people. ===Dogs=== They can be a problem in remote and rural regions, although they are far less numerous than in Thailand and Myanmar. If they get too close to you, picking up a stone or having a big stick is usually a sufficient deterrent. Taiwanese Aboriginals hold dogs in higher regard than Han Chinese do. Many Aboriginal communities have dogs freely running around their communities. == Stay healthy == ===Pollution=== Air pollution can be significant with the highest ratio of scooters per person in the world and a high west coast urban density. You can check air quality real time monitoring [https://airtw.epa.gov.tw/ENG/default.aspx on this page]. For reference the USA standard for fine particles (PM2.5) over 24 hours should be below 35&nbsp;µg/m³. It is a good idea to use a mask that can filter fine particles ([http://aqicn.org/mask/ how to choose a mask]), especially when traveling with the elderly or children. === Water === '''[[Water]]''' quality in Taiwan varies depending on location and time. According to the sole water company of Taiwan, tap water is in general safe to drink. However, it is advised that drinking water be boiled in order to eliminate residual chlorine and bacteria. Taiwan is prone to typhoons and earthquakes, which adversely affects water quality. Some buildings, particularly older ones, may have poorly maintained water towers and/or pipes, resulting in poor quality that is beyond the control of the water company. Depending on the severity, one might either filter the water in addition to boiling or avoid the taps altogether. Alternative options include buying bottled water or going to a "water station" where water is sold through a metered tap. Water from these sources is licensed to be safe for drinking. Bottled water can be bought in 24 hour convenience stores. Water quality in Kaohsiung used to be very poor. As a result, most people today use alternative sources. However, there is little evidence that this is necessary today as the quality has improved drastically. In addition, the mentioned alternative sources today are mostly filtered tap water and do not circumvent the historical source of contamination. === Healthcare === Medicines are available for minor ailments at drug stores. You may also find common drugs requiring a prescription in the west (like asthma inhalers and birth control pills) cheaply available from drug stores without a prescription. Taiwan has both Chinese physicians and Western doctors, both of which are taken equally seriously. However, as a foreigner, the assumption would generally be to direct you to a Western doctor. The quality of the hospitals in Taiwan is excellent and on par with, if not better than those found in the West. Taiwan's healthcare system is considered to be one of the best in the world. Legal residents with a National Health Card can avail themselves of the very convenient and efficient national health service, which covers treatment and medication using both Western and traditional Chinese medicine. However, this service is not available to short term visitors on tourist visas; nor does it cover major hospitalization expenses. Still, hospital visits and medicine in Taiwan tends to be far less expensive than in Western countries. Most Taiwanese doctors are able to communicate in at least basic English, and in fact, many of the top ones have obtained their medical qualifications in the US and are able to speak English fluently. However, you may find the nurses to be more of a challenge. === Hiking === Watch out for mosquito bites when hiking in the mountains. Especially in the summer, the humid and hot weather makes mosquitos very active. Most mosquito bites only cause skin irritation and itching, but in some areas of Taiwan it's possible to contract [[dengue fever]] or Japanese Encephalitis (though they are both rare in Taiwan). Mosquito/insect repellent spray can be found at convenience stores (such as 7-Eleven and FamilyMart) and local pharmacies. If you are bitten by mosquitos, apply a small amount of ointment for irritation relief. == Respect == The Taiwanese are generally a warm and polite people, having been strongly influenced by Confucianism. As Taiwanese culture places a strong emphasis on respect for elders, elderly visitors will find most Taiwanese to be very helpful and accommodating. Naming customs and modes of address are generally the same as in mainland China. See the [[China#Respect|Respect]] section of that article for details. === Culture === [[File:Pagode Kaohsiung amk.jpg|thumb|Pagoda in Kaohsiung]] Taiwan shares several cultural taboos/guidelines with other East Asian nations: * When giving and receiving business cards, always do it using ''both hands'' and with a slight bow of the head. Giving or receiving a business card with only one hand is very disrespectful. * Some Taiwanese are superstitious about anything connected with dying &ndash; unlucky things should never be mentioned. The number 4 (four, pronounced 'si') sounds like the word for death in Mandarin. * Do not write people's names in red. This again has connotations of death. When writing someone's English name, this is not a problem, but avoid writing Chinese names in red. * Do not whistle or ring a bell at night. This is an "invitation to ghosts". * Do not point at cemeteries or graves. This is disrespectful to the dead. * There are numerous taboos dictating that certain objects shouldn't be given to others, often because the word for that object sounds like another unfortunate word: ** Clocks. The phrase "to give a clock" ("song zhong"), in Mandarin, has the same sound as the word "to perform last rites." If you do give someone a clock, the recipient may give you a coin in return to dispel the curse. ** Shoes. Never ever offer shoes as a gift to old people, as it signifies sending them on their way to heaven. This is acceptable only if by mutual arrangement it is nominally sold, where the receiving party gives a small payment of about NT$10. ** Knives or sharp objects, as they are made for or could be used to hurt the person. ** Umbrellas, which in Mandarin sound the same as the word for "break up". Friends should therefore never give friends umbrellas. Instead, friends will euphemistically "rent" each other umbrellas for a tiny amount (NT$1, for example). * The Taiwanese are certainly not puritanical and enjoy a drink, especially the locally brewed Taiwan Beer and Kaoliang. However, Taiwan does not have a culture of heavy drinking like in Northern China and it is rare to see anyone drunk on the streets. While over indulging in alcohol is not a social taboo as such (and some people do so at weddings), it is considered a sign of lack of self-confidence and immaturity, and doing so certainly won't gain you any respect among Taiwanese friends. * You are expected to remove your shoes before entering a house. You will find some slippers to be worn by visitors next to the entrance door. It is likely to be the same ritual for bathrooms and balconies where you will be expected to remove your slippers to wear a pair of plastic sandals (though it is less shocking not to use the sandals by then). * As you will get along with Taiwanese people, you are very likely to receive small presents of any sort, such as drinks, food or little objects. These are a very convenient way to lubricate social relations for Taiwanese people, and are especially common between friends in their 20s. You should reciprocate any such presents with something similar, but it does not need to be immediate or specially tailored to that person (i.e., keep it simple). As a teacher you are not expected to offer anything in return, as long as the relationship stays formal. However, beware of the sometimes overly generous parents who can go as far as offering presents running in the thousands of NT$ and who will then expect you to take special care of their child (understand that their expectations will be considered fair in Taiwanese culture). * You are not expected to tip in hotels, restaurants and taxis, though bellhops may still expect NT$50 or so for carrying your luggage. * Much like the mainland Chinese, "saving face" is also a major value in Taiwanese culture. In general, you should avoid pointing out other people's mistakes in order to avoid causing major embarrassment and if you really have to, call the person to one side and do it in private, and try to do it in a polished manner. * If you should need to use a temple's washroom, bow to any statues of deities you see on the way whether or not you believe in them. While most people will not mind you using the temple's washroom, they expect you to treat their place of worship with respect. If you plan to offer gifts (such as simple fruits) to the statues of deities in the temple, it is expected that you wash the fruits and your hands prior to offering. In addition, upon entering and leaving a temple, do take and avoid stepping directly on the raised threshold: always try to step over it. You should also never point to the status of deities with your index finger; use your thumb or an up-facing open palm instead. * You will often see '''priority seats''' (博愛座) on public transportation in Taiwan. These are reserved for the elderly, disabled people, pregnant women and women carrying young children; do not sit in them unless one of those situations applies to you. * '''Cultural identity''' is a complex and sensitive issue in Taiwan. While most Taiwanese people are ethnically Chinese, many people, especially the youth, seek to distance themselves from China with a distinct Taiwanese identity, and will often emphasize their Japanese colonial heritage instead. === Religion === Most Taiwanese people follow a mix of traditional Chinese folk religions and Buddhism, and it is common to visit temples to offer prayers during important festivals or life events. That said, contemporary Taiwanese society is largely secular in daily life, and religion in general does not play a significant role in people's work or political affiliations. Nevertheless, you are still expected to dress and behave respectfully when visiting temples. As in other Asian countries, swastikas are commonly seen in Buddhist temples as a religious symbol. They emphatically do ''not'' represent Nazism or anti-Semitism. When visiting temples, be sure to enter using the right gate and exit using the left gate (facing inwards). The larger middle gate is traditionally reserved for deities and the Emperor of China. Also be sure to avoid pointing at the statues of deities with your index figure, as it is considered to be very disrespectful. Use your thumb or an up-facing open palm instead. The most popular traditional Chinese deity in Taiwan is Mazu, a Fujianese shamaness who is believed to have ascended to godhood and now protects sailors, as the Fujianese were largely a seafaring people. [[Christianity]] is the dominant religion among the Aboriginal people, with Presbyterianism and Roman Catholicism being the main denominations. There is also a significant Christian minority among the ethnic Chinese. Taiwanese people are generally tolerant of different religions, and people of all faiths can usually practice their religion without any major problems. The Falun Gong religion which is banned in mainland China is allowed in Taiwan, though attitudes towards them from the local Taiwanese people tend to be very mixed. === Politics === Taiwanese society is rather polarized by allegiance between supporters of the two major political blocs informally known as "Pan-Blue Coalition" and "Pan-Green Coalition", although there are large numbers of people who are either centrist or who don't care. To simplify a very complex situation, pan-blue supporters tend to be more favorable toward the idea of reunification or maintaining the status quo with China and pan-green supporters tend to be more favorable toward the idea of establishing a formally independent Taiwan state, among other differences. Although there are some correlations, it is highly unwise to assume anything about a particular person's political beliefs based on what you think you know about their background. Also, this very brief sketch of Taiwanese politics obscures a large amount of complexity. Traditionally, mainlanders, Aboriginal people, Hakka people and people from Kinmen and Matsu tended to be strongly pan-blue, while Taiwanese speakers from Central and Southern Taiwan tended to be strongly pan-green, though this distinction has largely disappeared among the younger generation, who are now overwhelmingly pro-independence. Unless you know your listener well, it is unwise to say anything (either positive or negative) about the current government, about historical figures in Taiwanese history, about Taiwan's international relations, or about relations with mainland China. Some political figures such as Sun Yat-sen (who is also popular in the PRC and with the Chinese government) and Chiang Ching-kuo are generally seen positively, but others (Chiang Kai-shek, Lee Teng-hui and Chen Shui-bian in particular) arouse very polarized feelings. Some Taiwanese will get very offended if you imply that Taiwan is part of China. Others will get very offended if you imply that Taiwan is not part of China. Referring to the PRC as "mainland China" (中國大陸 ''zhōngguó dàlù'') rather than simply China will tend not to offend anyone, as the term is generally used to exclude Hong Kong and Macau as well, making it less subjective. Referring to the Republic of China as a whole as "Taiwan Province" will draw a negative reaction from most Taiwanese. "Greater China" may be used in certain business contexts. Keep in mind, however, that there are so many subtleties and complexities here that if you are talking about these things, you've already wandered into a minefield. However, simply referring to the island as "Taiwan" is fine, as that is the name used by the locals, regardless of their political persuasion. Titles such as "Republic of China" are reserved for official matters only. People from Kinmen and Matsu do not identify as Taiwanese and instead identify as Kinmenese/Matsunese or simply Chinese. '''Relations with mainland China''', as well as the '''Hong Kong protests''', are sensitive issues; tread carefully on these topics. Despite the deep mistrust many Taiwanese have of the communist Chinese government, most locals bear little to no animosity towards individual mainland Chinese visitors. As long as you avoid political discussions and behave yourself properly, you should not run into any problems. ===Japanese occupation=== In contrast to other Asian countries, Taiwanese feelings towards the Japanese occupation (1895-1945) are generally positive, though there are exceptions. Some of the older people who lived through the period of Japanese rule often bear a certain degree of nostalgia for that time, although there was strong resistance, and massacres of both Chinese and Aboriginal people were carried out throughout the occupation. Nevertheless, many Taiwanese bear a sense of gratitude towards the Japanese for modernizing Taiwan, and many people who lived through both periods regard Japanese rule more favorably than the subsequent Kuomintang rule under Chiang Kai-shek. Japanese visitors can expect a particularly warm welcome as most Taiwanese admire Japanese culture, and modern Taiwanese culture continues to be heavily influenced by that of Japan. In particular, many shops and tourist attractions are based on a theme of colonial nostalgia. == Connect == ===Internet=== ====''iTaiwan''==== Introduced in the mid-2010s, this is Taiwan's free, convenient and widespread WiFi, and answer to today's mobile-dependent population. ''iTaiwan'' is available all over Taiwan, (according to marketing) in all the 7 biggest cities, but at least all over Taipei, Tainan and Taitung, at all railway/MRT stations (even at the smallest) and most bus stations all over the country, as well as in most tourist information centers. Where it is not available, there exist related WiFis that offer an ''iTaiwan'' login option, or there are other independent but free options like ''.1.Free Wi-Fi'' that require clicking an advertisement to get online. As a foreigner, you have to apply for access at a tourist information center using your passport. The login is the passport number and the password is your birthday in ''YYYYMMDD'' form. At some free WiFi spots, like in railway stations, there is a power and USB plug to charge your electronic devices. ====SIM cards==== If you want an Internet connection to your smartphone, you can purchase a prepaid 4G unlimited data sim card from Chunghwa Telecom at a cost of NT$300 for 3 days, or NT$500 for 7 days (other periods are available as well). Just walk into any official Chunghwa Telecom shop to apply (also at all international airports). They need your passport and identification documents of your country of origin, driving license or identification card. Other providers in the market are Taiwan Mobile, FarEasTone, T-Star, and GT. Their pricing is largely the same for visitor plans as Chunghwa Telecom, however they do offer special promotions on their standard prepaid plans from time to time, and for travelers continuing elsewhere after Taiwan, FarEasTone and GT offer a lineup of reasonably priced "travel SIMs" for travel around Asia, Europe, and North America, while Taiwan Mobile offers flat-rate international data roaming on its standard prepaid SIMs. Importantly, if continuing on to mainland China later, these travel SIMs or Taiwan Mobile's roaming plans do not censor data there as a local SIM would. ====Restaurants, cafés, etc.==== Most in-house eateries, shopping centers, libraries and such have free Wi-Fi for their customers available. ====Gaming cafés==== Not that relevant and widespread anymore, Internet cafés aka gaming cafés. These are often found on the first or second floor of buildings and equipped with very comfortable chairs and large screens. Although people do surf the Internet, most people primarily go there for a smooth experience of online gaming. Each hour of Internet access/game play is cheap, coming in at around NT$20. Some machines in the Internet cafés are coin operated. === Telephone === [[File:Payphones of Taiwan Fixed Network at THSR Taichung Station 20070105.jpg|thumb|Payphones in [[Taichung]]]] The standard prefix for international calls from Taiwan is 002, though some other companies may use alternative prefixes at lower rates. Check with your telecom operator for more details. Calls to mainland China, Hong Kong or Macau require international dialling. The country code for calls to Taiwan is +886. Most payphones work with telephone cards (電話卡) which are available at all convenience stores. Numbers Starting With 0800 are commercial toll-free numbers, just like the 1-800 numbers in North America. '''Mobile phone''' coverage is generally excellent in Taiwan, with the exception of some remote mountainous areas. Among the major providers are Chunghwa Telecom (中華電信), Taiwan Mobile (台灣大哥大), Far EasTone (遠傳電信) and Taiwan Star Telecom (台灣之星). Taiwan has both 3G (UMTS/W-CDMA 2100) and 4G (LTE) networks and inbound roaming agreements are in place between most international providers and at least one of these four (but check with your operator before departure). The last 2G networks were shut down in July 2017. The internationally popular messaging app Whatsapp is not popular in Taiwan. Most Taiwanese use the Japanese messaging app '''[https://line.me/en/ LINE]''' instead. === Media === Taiwan has a very free and liberal press. Taiwan's main newspapers are the Chinese-language ''[https://www.ltn.com.tw/ Liberty Times]'' (自由時報), ''[https://tw.appledaily.com/ Apple Daily]'' (蘋果日報), ''[https://www.chinatimes.com/ China Times]'' (中國時報) and ''[http://udn.com/ United Daily News]'' (聯合報). The ''[https://money.udn.com Economic Daily News]'' (經濟日報) and ''[https://ctee.com.tw/ Commercial Times]'' (工商時報) focus on financial and business news. The main English-language newspapers are ''[http://chinapost.nownews.com The China Post]'' and ''[http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/ Taipei Times]''. A third newspaper in English, ''[http://etaiwannews.com/ Taiwan News]'' (formerly ''China News''), is no longer available in print but continues to exist online.

The programming consists mostly of popular music. There are news bulletins every hour on the hour 07:00–20:00 M–F and 10:00–18:00 on Sa. ===Printing=== Every 7-Eleven and Familymart has cloud printers available for printing documents and even pictures. But for the latter you might be better off with a professional shop. The instructions are in Chinese or English. Costs: NT$1 per document page, plus NT$1 processing fee. == Cope == ===Electricity=== For electrical sockets, Taiwan uses the same Type A two-pin and Type B three-pin electrical sockets as the United States. Electricity is supplied at 110 V at 60 Hz. === Embassies and foreign missions === ''See [[Taipei#Cope|Cope section]] in [[Taipei]] guide'' {{usablecountry}} {{isPartOf|East Asia}} {{geo|23.76|120.97|zoom=7}} 76xz9ihlpdh0s3att0oex87nwv5vxz0 0 35885 4495768 4474703 2022-08-05T15:43:18Z Libreravi 2268604 correcting grammatical mistakes. wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Padmanabhaswamy Temple banner.jpg|caption= Trivandrum Sri Padmanabha Swamy Temple Complex}} Located near the southern tip of mainland India, '''Thiruvananthapuram''' ([[Malayalam language|Malayalam]]: തിരുവനന്തപുരം ''Tiruvanantapuraṁ''), (formerly and often still known as '''Trivandrum''') is the capital city of [[Kerala]] in [[Southern India]]. The city shares the same name with its district, [[Thiruvananthapuram (district)|Thiruvananthapuram]], which is one of the 14 districts of Kerala. Referred to by Mahatma Gandhi as the "Evergreen city of India", the city is characterized by its undulating terrain of low coastal hills and busy commercial alleys. Thiruvananthapuram is built on hills by the sea shore and sandwiched between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea, Thiruvananthapuram is ranked first in the number of foreign tourists visiting Kerala and is a fascinating destination for holidaymakers. [[File:KuthiramalikaPalace20080220-1.jpg|thumbnail|Kuthira Mallika Palace]] ==Understand== Thiruvananthapuram, with a tradition dating back to 1000 BC, lies on a small strip of land covered with coconut and palm trees. Thiruvananthapuram means "City of Lord Anantha" (the serpent on which Lord Padmanabha/Vishnu reclines) in [[Sanskrit phrasebook|Sanskrit]] and [[Malayalam phrasebook|Malayalam]]. Historically, it was a trading post for spices, sandalwood and ivory. Thiruvananthapuram is the largest city in Kerala. The city is the state capital and houses many central and state government offices, organizations and companies. Besides being the political nerve centre of Kerala, it is also a major academic hub and home to several educational institutions, including the University of Kerala, and many science and technology institutions. Some prominent institutions being the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Centre for Development Studies (CDS), Technopark, the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) and the Indian Institute of Science, Education and Research (IISER). ===History=== Thiruvananthapuram is one of the oldest cities in India, with periodic references in many Greek and Roman literatures. This city came to the forefront when the Venad Dynasty rose to power in the southern regions, after the Great Partition of the Kerala Empire of Cheras in the 14th century. Though Venad rulers had their capital at [[Kollam]] (70&nbsp;km north of Thiruvananthapuram), Thiruvananthapuram was considered the major trading centre. The formation of Travancore Kingdom in late 17th century proved a turning point for the city. In this time, the Raja dedicated the entire kingdom to Lord Padmanabha, the presiding deity of Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple, meaning that the royal family was ruling in the name of the lord. The capital was moved to Thiruvananthapuram, and the city expanded around the temple. In the 19th century, the entire administration was brought to Thiruvananthapuram city from the royal headquarters of Sree Padmanabhapuram Fort (50&nbsp;km from Thiruvananthapuram city), which marked completion of first phase of Thiruvananthapuram city. Travancore was one of the most powerful Indian princely states during the British Raj, with the kingdom becoming the 3rd-richest state among native states. Thiruvananthapuram city, under the royal patronage, grew into a major academic and cultural hub of India with many firsts to its credit. As the power and wealth of the Travancore Kingdom reached its peak during early 20th century, Thiruvananthapuram became a prosperous city. When India attained independence, the Travancore chose to accede to the India Union. After formation of Kerala state in 1957, Thiruvananthapuram was retained as the capital city. Being a capital and administrative city, it remains the hottest political centres in Kerala. A third phase of development came in early 1990s, when the Kerala Government established Technopark, a large information-technology park. The success of Technopark as the largest IT park in South Asia has been a major impetus for growth in city. Today the city is focused on maintaining its status as a major IT/Bio-Technology hub. ===Climate=== The city has a tropical climate and does not experience distinct seasons. The mean maximum temperature is 34°C and the mean minimum temperature is 21°C. Humidity is high, and rises to about 90% during the monsoon season. Thiruvananthapuram is the first city along the path of the south-west monsoon and gets its first showers in early June. However, pre-monsoon showers are common in April and May, accounting for about 35&nbsp;cm on average. Annual rainfall is not high compared to other districts of Kerala, but it is still a substantial 180&nbsp;cm. The rainiest months are May, June, July, August, and October, but there are frequent showers in other months too between April and November. For travelers who wish to avoid the rain, the best period to visit is from December to March. The winter temperature comes down to about 18°C at some places at high altitudes and summer temperatures can sometimes go as high as 35°C. ===When to go=== [[File:Ponmudi.jpg|thumb|300px|[[Ponmudi Hills]]]] * The best time to visit Trivandrum is between October and February, the perfect time for beach vacations. February to May is summer, which is very hot and humid while June to September is the monsoon season. The second rainy season, the North-East monsoon, is equally strong and occurs during the months of October and November. * The festival of '''Onam''' which occurs towards the end of August or early September is a good time to soak up the carnival atmosphere. There are usually many cultural programs during the official Onam celebrations lasting 10 days. * The '''Monsoon season''' starts from June every year and is a time of heavy rains in the area. The Monsoon has become an attraction for tourists seeking to experience it. ==Talk== The native language of Kerala is [[Malayalam]], which is a Dravidian language like Tamil and Kannada. Most educated locals are also able to communicate in [[Hindi phrasebook|Hindi]] and English. The people are generally very helpful and friendly. Tamil is generally understood, though people may not be too fluent in the language. ==Get in== ===By plane=== *{{listing | type=go | name=Trivandrum International Airport | alt={{IATA|TRV}} | url= | email= | address= | lat=8.482222 | long=76.92 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q1466205 | content=With direct flights from the [[Middle East]], [[Singapore]], [[Malaysia]], [[Maldives]], and [[Sri Lanka]], as well as seasonal charter flights to [[Russia]], [[United Kingdom|UK]] and less frequently to other parts of Europe.

Buses ply to all major towns and villages in the state in addition to big cities like [[Cochin]], [[Bangalore]], [[Kozhikode]], [[Coimbatore]],[[Tirunelveli]] and [[Chennai]]. Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) operates 6 class of services, connecting to southern Tamil-Nadu cities, town and all manner of country side in Kerala. KSRTC operates premium luxury Garuda services to Bangalore and Coimbatore. Karnataka STC also operates two class of premium services; Rajahamsa (non A/c Executive class) and Airavat (A/C Sleeper Class) from Bangalore and Mysore to the city. Likewise Tamil Nadu SETC also operates 3 class of services from numerous Tamil Nadu cities, particularly to the southern side. In addition, private national corporations like Sharma, Kallada, GTC, Raj National Express also operate premium services to other South Indian cities and Mumbai. If you are having trouble obtaining a bus ticket in Thiruvananthapuram to a destination in Tamil Nadu, it may be worth while travelling to Nagercoil and then taking a bus to your destination from there. ===By car=== Thiruvananthapuram is well connected to other cities like Kochi (230&nbsp;km), Kozhikode (420&nbsp;km), Chennai (780&nbsp;km), Bangalore (791&nbsp;km), Coimbatore (400&nbsp;km) by road. Traffic congestion can be horrific during certain times as you get closer to the city. It is advised to either be or hire a driver who is comfortable navigating Indian traffic. ==Get around== {{mapframe|8.49156|76.95047|zoom=13}} ===By bus=== Local bus services are the cheapest way to get around Thiruvananthapuram. There are city buses run by government (KSRTC) and private companies. Most of these are very crowded during peak hours. Route descriptions on the buses are mainly in [[Malayalam phrasebook|Malayalam]]. Route numbers are displayed. Pick pocketing is not very common. Women of foreign origin can some times be the subject of verbal harassment. The government city buses are painted red with an yellow patch, and the private city buses are blue. Fast passenger buses run by KSRTC are also painted blue and is named "Ananthapuri Fast". The city services of KSRTC operate from six depots namely, the City depot, Vikas Bhavan, Peroorkada, Pappanamcode, Kaniyapuram and Vellanad. The central city bus terminal is located at '''East Fort'''(Kizhakkekotta), near the Padmanabha Swamy temple. The Central and Inter State bus station is located 1&nbsp;km away at '''Thampanoor'''.KSRTC operates AC Volvo services connecting various important places. If you have a little time to spent you can try the new mode of transportaion. KSRTC operates AC buses also for local transportation. You can take these buses for a city tour in AC comfort at about ₹40. minimum fare is ₹10. These buses are orange. ===By auto rickshaw=== Autorickshaws (or simply ''Autos'') are a cheap way of travelling between attractions. It is always possible to hire an auto rickshaw from a bus stand, railway station, or special auto rickshaw stand. All the legal, licensed auto-rikshaws should possess fare meters, and the fare is calculated by the taximeter. Ensure the driver turns the meter on ''before'' the start of the journey. Most auto drivers tend to charge more for foreigners; this is illegal. The driver may quote a price first, but simply insist that he use the meter. The minimum charge for the autorickshaw is ₨.25 and the running charge per km is ₹12 (as of Dec 2021). (This rate is likely to be revised soon due to increase in petrol and diesel prices.) The charge for waiting for over 10&nbsp;min is ₹5 for every 15&nbsp;min, subject to a maximum of ₹200 per day. There are pre-paid autorickshaw counters available near the airport and the railway station. Complaints related to the autorickshaws in Trivandrum can be made to RTO Trivandrum, {{phone|+91 471 2469223}}. Online complaints are also accepted in the [https://tvmcity.keralapolice.gov.in/ traffic police website]. ===By taxi=== Taxis are convenient and cheap, especially if you are travelling in a group. Taxis can be hired for short distances and also for a few days at a stretch. Unlike other metropolitan cities, Thiruvanathapuram has only Indian Ambassadors as taxi cabs, which is a heritage car. If you wish for modern cars, you can normally hire them from your hotel by request. When you hire the taxi with a driver over a few days, a minimum charge is usually paid that covers the hiring charge for the car, the driver's fees, and a certain distance. If the car covers more than that distance, additional charges are levied according to the extra distance covered as per kilometre. Most of the drivers expect to be paid for their meals during the day. If staying overnight, this will include the hotel charges as well. The present taxi charges in the city are as follows : minimum charge – ₹65; running charge per km – ₹7.50; and charge for waiting – ₹25 per hour, subject to a maximum of ₹300 per day. * {{listing | type=go | name=Cellcabs | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= +91 471 12453553 | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit=2020-03-19 | content= }} * {{listing | type=go | name=Mango Cabs | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+91 9995466066 | tollfree= | fax= | checkin= | checkout= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit=2020-03-19 | content= }} * {{listing | type=go | name=TaxiTel | alt= | url=http://www.taxitel.in| email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+91 98 47019282, +91 99 47019492, +91 9447810100 | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit=2020-03-19 | content= }} ===By car=== [[File:Tvpmroad.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Kowdiar road is the Rajpath or Royal road in Trivandrum]] The arterial road of Thiruvananthapuram is the ''''MG Road'''' or the '''Mahatma Gandhi Road''', which lies in the north–south direction and connects almost all important attractions in the city. Trivandrum, being the state capital, has very good roads compared to other parts of Kerala, especially [[Kochi]] (where roads are more pothole than road). Many roads in Trivandrum are 4- or 6-laned. Thiruvananthapuram has many car rental companies that offer cars with drivers. There are very few places that sell "self drive" vehicles and these are difficult to find. Those you may find are often unreasonably expensive by local standards. Ask someone with local know-how before you rent a car. ===By two-wheelers=== Scooters and motorcycles are the favoured means of personal transport on the roads. Renting or buying a motorcycle is not for the faint hearted. Traffic in and around the city is a mix of fast and slow, necessitating constant attentiveness to remain safe. Road sense and traffic discipline has improved drastically with a strong administration from the Traffic police department, and helmets and seatbelts are becoming a norm. Lane rules are followed better than in other Indian cities, however you need to be more than just careful if you choose to drive a vehicle. Traffic congestion presents another danger and inconvenience; adjust your expected arrival times depending on traffic. There are companies arranging tours on '''Enfield Bullet''' motorcycles out of Thiruvananthapuram. ===Bicycle=== Cycles used to be a major mode of transportation for residents. Now the use of bicycles is relatively very low. Thiruvananthapuram is a hilly city. If you plan on bicycle being your main mode of transport, ensure you are fit and well hydrated. There is an absence of cycling lanes and hot weather often makes the day exhausting. Cycles are available on rent with some companies. * {{listing | type=go | name=Vacation India | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+91 471 2312028 | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit=2020-03-19 | content= }} ===On foot=== Many places of attractions within the city are near each other, so it is possible to walk between them. Crossing roads often involves wading across heavy traffic during peak hours. The zebra lanes are used by the locals for road crossing only in major junctions. Other than the major junctions, do not expect vehicles to stop for you in the zebra lines. Try your best to move in a predictable straight line, so vehicles can weave around you. (Better yet, latch onto a group of locals and cross in their shadow.) The recommended walk areas in the city are as follows: * Walk from Over bridge towards East Fort. Visit the Padmanabhaswami Temple premises. End up your walk in the Gandhi Park in East Fort. * Walk from Secratariate towards Palayam. Walk and see the Connemera market and do window shopping. * Walk from Museum Junction towards Vellayambalam. Alternatively, you can also walk inside the Museum compounds. * Walk from Vellayambalam Junction up to Kowdiar palace. This road is called the Royal Road, as it leads to the palace. There are good coffee shops and snack bars in this area. ==See== Thiruvananthapuram is a historic city, dotted with many historical structures, parks, museums, tourist centers and palaces.

The temple came to prominence after the details of the temple's massive wealth were released by an order from the supreme court of India. The temple itself has thousands of stories to tell with immaculate sculptures and mandaps. The entire Thiruvanathapuram city was built around this temple. It was nominated into the last round of 7 Wonders of World. The building style is a mixture of Kerala and Tamil architecture. The temple has many structures inside, like musical pillars, golden mandap, 500 pillared corridor famous for its sculptures and large collection of temple mural paintings. The temple has a large clear pond called '''Padmatheertham''', which is also landmark. The deity is Maha Vishnu in a rare reclining posture, called as "ananthasayanam" or the lord's sleep. The temple has a huge role in history of Kerala, with the presiding deity even being crowned as Emperor of Travancore in 18th century and all the rulers ruling the state in the name of the deity. The royal crown of Travancore, is preserved inside the temple, though seeing it is a rare.

The use of electronic items is prohibited in the temple. This temple is open only for Hindus, and even the Hindus admitted inside have to follow rigorous dress code and customs. Dress code for men is just Kerala Mundu (White Dhothi) with the body uncovered waist-up. Dhotis are available for one-time rental or for sale from nearby shops. Women are required to wear an Indian Sari or Kerala Mundu (The idea is that your legs must not be visible separately). Entrants would also be asked to store their bags, umbrellas, etc., at a nearby counter. This temple belongs to the Travancore Royal Family and is guarded by the Palace Guards of Travancore. Beware of presence of large number of professional touts at the entrance of temple, who attempt to forcibly sell puja plates with flowers, incense, oil lamps to first timers and tourists. Likewise at exit gates, touts try to hard sell pictures, lamps, and shells by claiming it is holy and sacred. Do not be carried away by claims and politely avoid them. Inside the main arena of the temple, you can view the diety in 3 stages - Hand, Navel (with the Lotus carrying Brahma) and Feet. }} *{{see | name=St Anne's Church | alt= | url= | email= | address=Pettah | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=This is the first Christian church of Trivandrum set up in 1796 during the reign of King Rama Varma, commonly called "Dharma Raja".

Also of interest in this area are the '''Sree Chitra Art Gallery''', Natural History museum and the '''Reptile House'''. Then walk towards '''Palayam''' along the '''MG road''' absorbing the roadside buzz of activities and shopping at the roadside shops. Usually there are cultural programs at '''VJT Hall''' which may be open to the public. Continue along MG road towards the '''Secretariat'''. The area around the secretariat is known locally as '''Statue''', due to a few neglected statues of important figures. There are sometimes political protests or demonstrations along this place. You should sample the food from the local restaurants here. '''SMS Institute''' on a side road, near the Secretariat, sells authentic Kerala handicrafts and gifts. Prices start from ₹25 to a few thousands. Continue along the MG road and you will find many local book shops including '''Modern Book House''' and '''Prabhat''' book store. The '''Ayurveda college ''', which teaches traditional ayurvedic medicine, will be on the right side of the street. Opposite this, there is another handicraft store.

The railway station and bus station are towards the left, about half a mile. If you continue straight, you will eventually reach '''Pazhavangadi'''. You will see the remains of a fort (well hidden) on the right side (known as '''Kottakakam'''/'''East fort'''). The famous Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple is nearby, complete with a temple lake ('''Padmatheertham''').

Only eat hot food and drink only boiled or good bottled water. Take water purification tablets with you. Water from corporation supplied lines are generally safe, but to be on the safer side go for purified forms. If you are visiting during the summers (April–May) temperatures might be higher and you might want to take some preparations against it. Evenings are best time to stroll. City sleeps early so you can roam about until maximum 10PM inside the city (really the limit). Most shops close by that time. If you are staying somewhere outside the centre transport options get harder to find and more expensive later at night. If you need injections or blood tests, try to provide your own needle, bringing a few with your first aid kit. Private hospitals generally provide good service. ==Connect== ===Telephone and mobile=== The dialling code for Trivandrum is 471. When calling from overseas, dial +91 471 XXXX XXX. ''If you have a non-working phone number with only 6 digits try to add a "2" in front of it''. If you don't have an Indian phone number then get a pre-paid calling card if you planning on using your phone frequently. By government regulation you need a photocopy of your passport (visa and the main photo ID-page) and a color photo to be able to buy a pre-paid card. Pre-paid cards are sold in most shops that sell mobile telephones. 'Telephone booths' or public telephones are widely available usually painted with the letters PCO (Public Call office, local calls), STD (Subscriber Trunk Dialling) and ISD (International Subscriber Dialling). All booths have electronic metering and you pay what's displayed on the meter. ===Internet=== There are many internet cafes around Trivandrum. They offer cheap, tolerably fast internet access to the public. ==Cope== ===Tourist information=== There is a tourist information booth open on Thiruvananthapuram station. Helping with train times and local attractions mainly, the guy who works there is usually happy to answer anything else. It is a booth on the platform near the middle and the entrance closest to the booking office. It's marked with a green sign, but easily missed. ===Hospitals=== Trivandrum has world class medical facilities with very competitive rates. This attracts "health tourists" from other states and even other countries.

By day, the suits and powerbrokers of the Financial District drive the city's economy from their glass and steel towers. But as night comes, the towers empty and people pour into the [http://www.entertainmentdistrict.ca/ Entertainment District] to catch the show, see the game or party at the clubs. Whether it's day or night, many of Toronto's larger attractions are located here, so it's an essential part of any visit to Toronto. == Understand == ===Financial District=== [[File:201708 Bobby Rosenfeld Park fountain 03.jpg|thumb|The Bobbie Rosenfeld Park with its fountain, between the stadium, the CN Tower and the Ripley Aquarium]] The Financial District is the economic powerhouse of [[Toronto]]. Dozens of towering glass, concrete and steel monoliths are a must-see for architecture enthusiasts. The district is actually quite compact and walkable, even in inclement weather. That's because of the [http://www.toronto.ca/path/ "PATH"] - 27 km (16 miles) of interconnecting passageways under the streets that feature more than 1,200 stores and services. Street entrances to the subterranean walkway are indicated with "PATH" signage. === Fashion District === The heart of Toronto's Fashion District is along Spadina Avenue from Front Street in the south to Queen Street in the north. However, hardly any garment manufacturing is done here today as garment industry work has long since left for cheaper places. Along Spadina, you can still see many graceful, multi-storey loft buildings that used to house garment manufacturing operations; buildings of this type also appear north of Queen Street to Sullivan Street at the southern end of [[Toronto/Chinatown|Chinatown]]. The Fashion District overlaps the Entertainment District along the east side of Spadina Avenue. The name "Fashion District" appears on a street sign at the south-west corner of Spadina Avenue and Richmond Street West beside the Fashion Building, a warehouse-loft. ===Rogers Centre=== Rogers Centre, formerly known as SkyDome, is a multi-purpose stadium, situated next to the CN Tower near the shores of Lake Ontario. It opened in 1989, and is home to the American League's Toronto Blue Jays, and was also home to the Canadian Football League's Toronto Argonauts before that team moved to BMO Field in Harbourfront in 2016. While it is primarily a sports venue, it also hosts other large-scale events such as conventions, trade fairs, concerts, funfairs, and monster truck shows. The stadium was renamed following its purchase by Rogers in 2005, but locals prefer the original "SkyDome". The venue was noted for being the first stadium to have a fully-retractable motorized roof, as well as for the 348-room hotel attached to it, with 70 rooms overlooking the field. A popular venue for large scale rock concerts, the stadium is the largest indoor concert venue in Toronto; it has hosted many international acts including Metallica, Madonna, U2, Depeche Mode, The Rolling Stones, The Three Tenors, Radiohead, Simon & Garfunkel, Garth Brooks, Backstreet Boys, Roger Waters, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Limp Bizkit, Eminem, Janet Jackson, Avril Lavigne, Jonas Brothers and Cher. The stadium was a centrepiece of the 2015 Pan American Games as the site of the opening and closing ceremonies.

The main commercial airline serving the airport is [http://www.flyporter.com/ Porter], operating year-round flights to [[New York City]], [[Chicago]], [[Montreal]], [[Quebec City]] and [[Halifax (Nova Scotia)|Halifax]] as well as winter flights to [[Mont-Tremblant]]. Air Canada Express also offers service to Montreal. Porter operates a free bus for its passengers between the airport and Union Station; alternately, you can take the 509 streetcar from Queen's Quay and Bathurst, a few blocks from the airport, to Union Station. === By train === Toronto's main railway station, Union Station sits at the foot of the financial district, on Front Street between York and Bay Streets. All commuter rail lines in the city run to and from Union Station and are run by '''[http://www.gotransit.com Go Transit]'''. Trains run all day on weekdays and weekends on the Lakeshore line from [[Hamilton (Ontario)|Hamilton]] in the west to [[Oshawa]] in the east, all the other lines run only at rush hour on weekdays. All intercity trains in Toronto run to Union Station and are operated by [http://www.viarail.ca/ Via Rail]. ([http://www.ontarionorthland.ca Ontario Northland] no longer runs Toronto-North Bay-Cochrane by rail.) For more information on intercity and commuter rail services to Toronto, see the Toronto city article. === By subway === The financial district is well served by subway line {{rint|toronto|1}} (Yonge-University-Spadina) with Queen, King, Union, St Andrew and Osgoode stations all lying in the district. ===By streetcar=== Many streetcar lines run through or terminate in the financial district. The 504 King line runs along King street, through the centre of the neighbourhood, The 501 Queen line runs along Queen street at the north end of the district and the 502 Downtowner and 503 Kingston Rd lines terminate in the district. The subway, streetcar lines and buses are run by the [http://www.ttc.ca TTC] and a TTC fare includes transfers between both modes to complete a single trip. === By car === Most of the major highways passing through Toronto pass through the downtown core at some point. *'''From the DVP''': follow the DVP south towards '''Front Street''' - the southernmost exit brings you into downtown. *'''From the Gardiner Expressway''': exit at '''Spadina''', next to the CN Tower. *'''From the 401''': follow the 401 until you reach the Don Valley Parkway (just east of Leslie Street), then exit onto the DVP southbound, and follow until you reach Front Street. Parking in the area is very expensive, and there are always traffic jams late at night. When driving on King St, note that King St has been designated as a transit corridor in this area and all cars must make a right turn at most signaled intersections (turning left or going straight are not allowed) at all times. === By bike or foot === The easiest way to find downtown Toronto is to locate the CN Tower, and head towards it. Although many people bike in Toronto, others consider it to be a very dangerous city to bike in, and accidents are frequent. Stick to less travelled roads, and be aware of people and vehicles around you. == See == [[Image:Toronto - ON - Toronto Harbourfront7.jpg|thumb|CN Tower]] {{anchor|Canada's Walk of Fame}} <!--To link next item from another article--> * {{see | name=Canada's Walk of Fame | url=http://www.canadaswalkoffame.com/inductees/inductee-star-map | email= | address=King St & Simcoe St | lat=43.647255 | long=-79.386139 | directions=2 blocks west on north side, 1 block west on south side along King St; 1 block south on west side along Simcoe St | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q857933| wikipedia=Canada's Walk of Fame | content=Toronto meets Hollywood where visitors can see plaques for most of Canada's famous names (Martin Short, for example) embedded in the sidewalk.

By day, the suits and powerbrokers of the Financial District drive the city's economy from their glass and steel towers. But as night comes, the towers empty and people pour into the [http://www.entertainmentdistrict.ca/ Entertainment District] to catch the show, see the game or party at the clubs. Whether it's day or night, many of Toronto's larger attractions are located here, so it's an essential part of any visit to Toronto. == Understand == ===Financial District=== [[File:201708 Bobby Rosenfeld Park fountain 03.jpg|thumb|The Bobbie Rosenfeld Park with its fountain, between the stadium, the CN Tower and the Ripley Aquarium]] The Financial District is the economic powerhouse of [[Toronto]]. Dozens of towering glass, concrete and steel monoliths are a must-see for architecture enthusiasts. The district is actually quite compact and walkable, even in inclement weather. That's because of the [http://www.toronto.ca/path/ "PATH"] - 27 km (16 miles) of interconnecting passageways under the streets that feature more than 1,200 stores and services. Street entrances to the subterranean walkway are indicated with "PATH" signage. === Fashion District === The heart of Toronto's Fashion District is along Spadina Avenue from Front Street in the south to Queen Street in the north. However, hardly any garment manufacturing is done here today as garment industry work has long since left for cheaper places. Along Spadina, you can still see many graceful, multi-storey loft buildings that used to house garment manufacturing operations; buildings of this type also appear north of Queen Street to Sullivan Street at the southern end of [[Toronto/Chinatown|Chinatown]]. The Fashion District overlaps the Entertainment District along the east side of Spadina Avenue. The name "Fashion District" appears on a street sign at the south-west corner of Spadina Avenue and Richmond Street West beside the Fashion Building, a warehouse-loft. ===Rogers Centre=== Rogers Centre, formerly known as SkyDome, is a multi-purpose stadium, situated next to the CN Tower near the shores of Lake Ontario. It opened in 1989, and is home to the American League's Toronto Blue Jays, and was also home to the Canadian Football League's Toronto Argonauts before that team moved to BMO Field in Harbourfront in 2016. While it is primarily a sports venue, it also hosts other large-scale events such as conventions, trade fairs, concerts, funfairs, and monster truck shows. The stadium was renamed following its purchase by Rogers in 2005, but locals prefer the original "SkyDome". The venue was noted for being the first stadium to have a fully-retractable motorized roof, as well as for the 348-room hotel attached to it, with 70 rooms overlooking the field. A popular venue for large scale rock concerts, the stadium is the largest indoor concert venue in Toronto; it has hosted many international acts including Metallica, Madonna, U2, Depeche Mode, The Rolling Stones, The Three Tenors, Radiohead, Simon & Garfunkel, Garth Brooks, Backstreet Boys, Roger Waters, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Limp Bizkit, Eminem, Janet Jackson, Avril Lavigne, Jonas Brothers and Cher. The stadium was a centrepiece of the 2015 Pan American Games as the site of the opening and closing ceremonies. [[Toronto/Entertainment and Financial Districts#Rogers Centre Tours|Public tours of the stadium]] are sometimes available.

The main commercial airline serving the airport is [http://www.flyporter.com/ Porter], operating year-round flights to [[New York City]], [[Chicago]], [[Montreal]], [[Quebec City]] and [[Halifax (Nova Scotia)|Halifax]] as well as winter flights to [[Mont-Tremblant]]. Air Canada Express also offers service to Montreal. Porter operates a free bus for its passengers between the airport and Union Station; alternately, you can take the 509 streetcar from Queen's Quay and Bathurst, a few blocks from the airport, to Union Station. === By train === Toronto's main railway station, Union Station sits at the foot of the financial district, on Front Street between York and Bay Streets. All commuter rail lines in the city run to and from Union Station and are run by '''[http://www.gotransit.com Go Transit]'''. Trains run all day on weekdays and weekends on the Lakeshore line from [[Hamilton (Ontario)|Hamilton]] in the west to [[Oshawa]] in the east, all the other lines run only at rush hour on weekdays.

([http://www.ontarionorthland.ca Ontario Northland] no longer runs Toronto-North Bay-Cochrane by rail.)

The 504 King line runs along King street, through the centre of the neighbourhood, The 501 Queen line runs along Queen street at the north end of the district and the 502 Downtowner and 503 Kingston Rd lines terminate in the district. The subway, streetcar lines and buses are run by the [http://www.ttc.ca TTC] and a TTC fare includes transfers between both modes to complete a single trip. === By car === Most of the major highways passing through Toronto pass through the downtown core at some point. *'''From the DVP''': follow the DVP south towards '''Front Street''' - the southernmost exit brings you into downtown. *'''From the Gardiner Expressway''': exit at '''Spadina''', next to the CN Tower. *'''From the 401''': follow the 401 until you reach the Don Valley Parkway (just east of Leslie Street), then exit onto the DVP southbound, and follow until you reach Front Street. Parking in the area is very expensive, and there are always traffic jams late at night. When driving on King St, note that King St has been designated as a transit corridor in this area and all cars must make a right turn at most signaled intersections (turning left or going straight are not allowed) at all times. === By bike or foot === The easiest way to find downtown Toronto is to locate the CN Tower, and head towards it. Although many people bike in Toronto, others consider it to be a very dangerous city to bike in, and accidents are frequent. Stick to less travelled roads, and be aware of people and vehicles around you. == See == [[Image:Toronto - ON - Toronto Harbourfront7.jpg|thumb|CN Tower]] {{anchor|Canada's Walk of Fame}} <!--To link next item from another article--> * {{see | name=Canada's Walk of Fame | url=http://www.canadaswalkoffame.com/inductees/inductee-star-map | email= | address=King St & Simcoe St | lat=43.647255 | long=-79.386139 | directions=2 blocks west on north side, 1 block west on south side along King St; 1 block south on west side along Simcoe St | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q857933| wikipedia=Canada's Walk of Fame | content=Toronto meets Hollywood where visitors can see plaques for most of Canada's famous names (Martin Short, for example) embedded in the sidewalk.

This article is a basic introduction to some of these hazards of travel, how to avoid them, and how to deal with one if you contract it. [[File:Luchemos todos contra el dengue.jpg|upright=1.35|thumb|Mural in Encarnación, Paraguay: "Let's fight dengue and yellow fever together"]] For those unfamiliar with medical jargon, the words infectious and contagious have distinct meanings. An '''infectious''' disease is one that is caused by a pathogen, such as a virus, bacterium, fungus or other parasites. A '''contagious''' disease is one that is easily transmitted by being in the vicinity of an infected person. All contagious diseases, such as influenza and measles, are infectious diseases, but the reverse is not necessarily true, with various diseases such as AIDS or yellow fever being infectious but not contagious. Vast improvements in [[sanitation]] and healthcare standards, combined with the widespread availability of vaccines, have made many once common diseases largely a thing of the past in developed countries. However, these diseases may continue to persist in less developed parts of the world where people do not have access to proper medical care and sanitation, and vaccine coverage is low. Also, differences in climate often mean that both pathogens and their vectors (carriers which are usually [[pests]], such as [[mosquitoes]]) are quite different. Local people have developed immunity to many of the local pathogens, but travellers will be vulnerable. [[Travellers' diarrhea]] is the commonest of these infections. ==Before travelling== ===Legal requirements=== Many governments require visitors entering, or residents leaving, their countries to be vaccinated for a range of diseases. These requirements may often depend on what countries a traveller has visited or intends to visit. For example, if you have recently visited tropical countries in Africa or Latin America, then other countries may require evidence of [[yellow fever]] vaccination before letting you in (if they are also susceptible). If you are bringing prescription medicine with you, carry a copy of the prescription, or at least have it in the original container with a pharmacy/chemist label showing both your and the doctor's name, name of the drug, and dosage instructions. ===Health requirements=== For much travel, especially to tropical or [[Tips for travel in developing countries|developing countries]], additional vaccinations or other precautions such as anti-malarial medication may be necessary. Before starting your travels you should '''consult a doctor with experience in the field of travel medicine'''. You should do this at least 8 weeks before you plan to leave, to give time for vaccinations. ===Information sources=== There are many sources of additional information for travellers: * The US government's [http://www.cdc.gov/travel/index.htm Centers for Disease Control and Prevention], who also maintain a [http://www.healthmap.org/en/ Health map] showing current outbreaks of many of the diseases listed below. * The [http://www.istm.org/ International Society for Travel Medicine] has an index of travel medicine clinics * The [http://www.who.int/ith/en/ World Health Organization] has a downloadable book written for doctors ==Disease by transmission method== [[Pests]] are not only a nuisance in and of themselves; they can also spread microbe infections to people. ===Arthropod vectors=== [[File:Global Aedes aegypti distribution (e08347).png|thumbnail|400px|Estimated potential occurrence of ''Aedes aegypti'', a vector of all widely spread mosquito-borne tropical diseases, except malaria]] Diseases in these categories are typically spread by being bitten by arthropods; a group of small animals including insects such as mosquitos, fleas and flies, as well as others such as mites, ticks and lice. The risk from such diseases can be reduced by appropriate clothing, mosquito nets, insect repellents and [[permethrin-treated fabrics]], especially when travelling to rural areas. *'''[[Pests#Mosquitoes|Mosquitoes]]''' — in particular the "yellow fever mosquito" ''Aedes aegypti'' and "asian tiger mosquito" ''Aedes albopictus'' are vectors for many tropical diseases. **[[Malaria]] — a parasitic infection (''Plasmodium spp.'') transmitted by the ''Anopheles'' mosquitoes. There are multiple species of malarial parasites, which can cause a range of severity in illness. It is present in many regions around the world including tropical Africa, South America, southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. Infections require immediate qualified diagnosis and treatment. Preventative medications are available. **[[Yellow fever]] — a viral infection caused by the yellow fever virus. It is primarily present in the tropics of Africa and the Americas. It can cause asymptomatic infection to severe disease leading to multiple organ failure. Symptoms include fever, headaches, general muscle pains, nausea, and vomiting. A vaccine is available, and even mandatory for entering some tropical countries in Africa and the Americas. **[[Dengue fever]] — a mosquito-borne febrile virus transmitted by an infective ''Aedes aegypti'' or ''Aedes africanus'' mosquito. Causes high fever, headache, joint and muscle pain and in some cases leads to a more severe manifestation, dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF), which can eventually lead to death. Occurs in many tropical countries and is the most important tropical infectious disease after malaria and the world's most serious (human) arbovirus disease. DHF infections require immediate qualified diagnosis and treatment – vaccine is only approved in Mexico and Brazil (as of 2016), but it is only 40 to 60% effective. Five serotypes of the virus exist, so having had dengue before only makes you immune to that one serotype, not the others. In fact, research has shown that the disease is usually more serious for those who have had it before because the immune system is busy producing the wrong antibodies. **Chikungunya (CHIKV) — also known as epidemic polyarthritis and rash, and buggy creek virus. A febrile virus transmitted, like dengue, by an infective ''A. aegypti'' or ''A. africanus'' mosquito. After 3-12 days flu-like symptoms develop including severe headaches, chills, fever, joint pain, nausea and vomiting - no vaccine is available. Historically present in Africa and Asia, since 2005 there have been outbreaks in Indian Ocean islands, Pacific islands, and countries in and around the Caribbean. Management of this disease is supportive care of symptoms. **[[Zika virus]] - a febrile illness linked with causing birth defects in infected pregnant women. For adults, the illness is usually mild. Spread by ''Aedes'' mosquitoes and causes symptoms that include fever, headache, fatigue, and joint and muscle pains lasting about a week. Management of this disease is supportive care of symptoms. It is present in South and Central America, parts of Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and some Pacific islands. Pregnant women and people trying to conceive should be cautious about traveling to Zika-affected areas, due to the risk of birth defects, and should consult their doctor. The virus can be found in semen for a couple of months and therefore can affect fetal development if there is conception. **Japanese encephalitis - an illness caused by the Japanese encephalitis virus transmitted by the ''Culex'' mosquitoes. Majority of people infected are asymptomatic, but in more severe disease can cause fevers, diarrhea, headache, vomiting, paralysis, and inflammation of the brain leading to death. It can have long term lasting damage due to the effects of the brain inflammation. The virus is present throughout most of Asia and areas of the western Pacific. Risk to travelers is low with risk highest in residents of rural agricultural areas. However, there can be outbreaks of this disease increasing risk. A vaccine is available for Japanese encephalitis. Management of infected people is supportive care of their symptoms. **Filariasis - a parasitic infection caused by long thread-like worms spread through the bite of a variety of ''Anopholes'', ''Aedes'', and ''Culex'' mosquitoes. Causes symptoms including fevers, lymph node inflammation, lung disease, and over the long term, elephantiasis (enlargement and hardening of limbs). Transmission of this parasite can be found in parts of Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Pacific islands, but short term visitors to these areas have very low risk. Only with extended time living in endemic areas are you likely to be infected. There is treatment for this disease. **West Nile virus - a disease transmitted through the ''Culex'' mosquitoes where the majority of people infected with this do not present with any symptoms. Some may present with fevers, headache, muscle and joint pain, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, and rash. Very rare individuals with develop serious effects such as meningitis. Documented transmission on all continents, but has the potential for outbreaks of more severe disease. Management of patients is supportive care of symptoms. **Other arboviruses - there are a variety of other viruses transmitted by mosquitoes that present in similar ways with a febrile illness. These include Ross River fever, Western/Eastern equine encephalitis, Rift Valley fever, St. Louis encephalitis, and many others. They are found in a range of locales around the world. Risk to travelers is low for transmission for these viruses and management of infection is usually supportive care of symptoms. *'''[[Pests#Ticks|Ticks]]''' **[[File:Borreliose.png|thumbnail|Lyme disease is prevalent in most countries of the temperate Northern Hemisphere]]<!-- -->Lyme disease (aka borreliosis) — If you run a fever and experience other flu-like symptoms after hiking in tick-infested areas where deer ticks carry this disease (much of the temperate Northern Hemispere), especially if you've also seen a bull's-eye-shaped rash around the site of a bite (a common but not invariable symptom), see a doctor and get tested as soon as possible! Caused mainly by the bacteria ''Borrelia burgdorferi'' in North America''.'' Other strains of the bacterium can cause this disease in Europe. In early stages, Lyme disease usually is well treatable with doxycycline or other antibiotics. However, if the disease is misdiagnosed or otherwise not treated early, it can cause chronic arthritis and other serious effects, including impairment of thinking due to infection of the brain. **[[File:EurAsia TBE-belt.svg|thumb|Endemic zones of ticks transmitting encephalitis (2013)]]<!-- -->Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). This is a viral infectious disease involving the central nervous system. The disease most often manifests as meningitis, encephalitis, or meningoencephalitis. ''' Can be fatal.''' Long-lasting or permanent neuro-psychiatric consequences are observed in 10 to 20% of infected patients. Vaccine is available (2 doses: 0 day and 30 day, 1 year; booster dose every 3 years) and recommended for extended stay in the worst areas. If not vaccinated, only symptomatic therapy available which is not very effective. Can be found in Central and Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. The tick-borne encephalitis virus is known to infect a range of hosts including ruminants, birds, rodents, carnivores, horses, and humans. The disease can also be spread from animals to humans, with ruminants and dogs providing the principal source of infection for humans. After any activity in nature, thorough inspection of body for ticks is obligatory. **Rickettsial (tick-borne) infections — Broad range of agents that cause a variety of diseases. Symptoms often include fever, headache and malaise as well as a rash. Can lead to serious outcomes involving multiple organs. Antibiotic treatment is available. Rickettsial infections include, but are not limited to: ***Rocky Mountain spotted fever - United States (mostly in the southern US), Canada (Western Canada), Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Central America ***Mediterranean spotted fever - Africa, India, parts of Europe and Middle East adjacent to the Mediterranean, Black and Caspian Seas. ***African tick-bite fever - sub-Saharan Africa including Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Swaziland ***North Asian tick fever - North China, Mongolia, Asiatic Russia *'''[[Pests#Mites|Mites]]''' **Scabies — an extremely contagious skin infestation caused by the mite ''Sarcoptes scabiei''. Children and the elderly are at the most risk, especially in crowded living conditions. The mites burrow into the skin to live and deposit eggs, and an allergic reaction of severe itching results. Despite its being contagious, you shouldn't fear shaking hands with others. The mites need minutes – not seconds – to infect. Only humans are susceptible; animals have a slightly different mite, and the infection is called "mange." **Scrub typhus - disease characterized by a skin ulcer with eschar formation followed by fevers, headache, rash, and can cause serious respiratory and neurological complications. Caused by the transmission of ''Orientia tsutsugamushi'' through bites of the chigger mite. Can be treated with antibiotics such as doxycycline. *'''Others''' **(Epidemic) Typhus — a bacterial infection caused by ''Rickettsia prowazekii'' transmitted by the human body louse. Presents with a sudden onset of headache, fatigue, fever, and generalized pains. A rash then forms which spreads across the body. Symptoms can also include a cough and confusion. Occurs in unhygienic conditions around the world, but especially focused in regions of Central and South America, Asia, and central and eastern Africa. Doxycycline can be used to treat the disease. **Chagas disease — Pronounced with a "SH" sound, and endemic to mainland Latin America and parts of the Caribbean, roughly from Mexico to central Chile and Argentina. (The Mexican border regions with the U.S. are safe, except for [[Matamoros]]. Most cases are in the southern half of Mexico.) It is a parasitic disease spread by triatominae (blood sucking bugs) and blood transfusions, and there is no vaccine against it. Unlike mosquitoes, bites are usually along the face. Never scratch these bites, as this is the main mode of infection. Chagas disease starts with little to no symptoms, but for 20-40% of all victims, it slowly develops into a chronic heart disease, and sometimes stomach disease. This can take decades, in some cases. Treatable with ''benznidazole'' or ''nifurtimox'' if caught early. Sleeping in thatched huts poses the greatest risk. If you stay in standard tourist accommodations, it's very unlikely you would get this disease. **Sleeping sickness (African trypanosomiasis), transmitted by the tsetse fly, kills tens of thousands of people every year in East Africa. Drugs can be used to treat this disease, but patients may relapse for two years following that. ===Enteric illnesses=== {{moreinfo|prevention and treatment of diarrhea|Travellers' diarrhea|}} {{moreinfo|water contamination and filtering|Water}} Diseases in this category are typically transmitted by ingesting '''contaminated food or water'''. The best precautions are to do proper boiling or filtering of water before you drink it. This includes ice made from tap water, as freezing does nothing to kill germs. Also, ensure that any food you eat is well cooked. Fruits and vegetables that can be peeled are much safer than those that cannot. Be sure any knives used for cutting are clean. If the main symptoms of an illness are an initial fever and vomiting with persistent diarrhea, it was most likely caused by something you ate. Most fevers are low grade, though a high fever may indicate a serious, possibly life-threatening illness. * Bacterial: ** '''Cholera''' is a bacterial disease caused by ''Vibrio cholerae''. Transmission is through ingestion of contaminated food or water. It's mostly found in developing countries where sanitation remains poor. Common symptoms include painless massive watery diarrhea and vomiting. The profound water loss leads to severe dehydration, which can lead to death. Re-hydration is absolutely critical for affected patients with either oral re-hydration solution (ORS) or intravenous re-hydration. For severe cases, antibiotics may reduce the severity of symptoms. Severe cholera can kill within hours, so do not delay treatment. Dukoral (brand name) is an oral vaccine that you drink for cholera and travellers' diarrhea caused by enterotoxigenic ''E. coli'' (ETEC). It is only partly effective, and not effective against other bacterial illnesses, so still take precautions against contamination. Nevertheless, it does provide a measure of protection from the worst of the diarrhea diseases. Some countries don't require a doctor's prescription, such as the U.S. and most of Canada. ** '''''E. coli'' diarrheal diseases''' is a grouping of diseases caused by a variety of ''E. coli'' bacteria. It is a frequent cause of traveller's diarrhea. They can present with fever, abdominal cramping, watery or bloody diarrhea, and vomiting. Severe complications from these infections include rapid kidney failure, especially in infants, toddlers, and the elderly. Severe illnesses can cause death. Prevention of these diseases include good hand washing, avoiding or washing raw fruits and vegetables well, and drinking bottled water in places with non-potable water. Antibiotics can be used to decrease severity and duration, but antibiotic resistance is high – and antibiotics can make the situation worse by lessening competition from non-resistant benign bacteria. Re-hydration is recommended and anti-motility agents (e.g.loperamide) can also help with symptoms. There is an oral vaccine available (Dukoral) for the ETEC strains and cholera (see above). ** [[File:Fievre typhoide.png|thumb|upright=1|Incidence of typhoid fever {{legend | red | Strongly [[:w:Endemic (epidemiology)|endemic]]}} {{legend | #e08040 | Endemic}} {{legend | silver | Sporadic cases}}]] '''Typhoid fever''' is a life-threatening infection caused by ''Salmonella enterica typhi'' bacteria, and is much more serious than the common Salmonellosis. It can cause prolonged fever, fatigue, headache, nausea, abdominal pain, and constipation or diarrhoea. Some patients may have a rash. Severe cases may lead to serious complications or even death. Typhoid is a general health problem in all less-developed countries. Unusually compared to other enteric illnesses, typhoid fever presents often with constipation rather than diarrhea. Transmission is by contaminated food and water, especially in rural areas. A vaccination is available, but offers no absolute safety. The best options are being careful with what you drink and eat. It can be treated by fluids and antibiotics. ** '''Food poisoning''' or foodborne intoxicants refers to a grouping of illness caused by the toxins produced by bacteria such as ''Staphylococcus aureus'', ''Clostridium perfringens'', and ''Bacillus cereus''. They are caused by contamination of food with this bacteria and improper cooking and handling. These illnesses present in an abrupt onset of severe nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea usually lasting a day or two. Severe illness requiring hospitalization is rare. Adequate re-hydration is recommended if you come down with food poisoning. ** '''Salmonellosis''', the most common form of '''food poisoning''', is caused by bacteria in the genus ''Salmonella'', and is spread through eating contaminated under-cooked or raw food. Contamination after cooking is also possible, both by exposure and not thoroughly washing one's hands. Poultry is a common cause, and this can include ingredients such as raw eggs. Be especially careful with ice cream – even if the cream is pasteurized, the raw eggs might not be. Although bacteria can barely multiply while frozen, they do not die either. Thus, contaminated frozen food will remain contaminated indefinitely (unless well cooked, if applicable). Symptoms of Salmonellosis typically include diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and abdominal cramps. No vaccine is available, and the usual treatment for milder presentations of this disease is re-hydration. Severe, complicated salmonellosis should be treated with antibiotics. ** '''Listeriosis''' is very similar to Salmonellosis (above) for the same foods, but is a more serious disease. An infection usually caused by eating food contaminated with the bacterium ''Listeria monocytogenes''. The disease primarily affects pregnant women, newborns, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. * Parasites: **'''Cryptosporidiosis''', informally called '''crypto''', is a parasitic disease caused by Cryptosporidium. Found worldwide, this disease is an untreated and chlorine-treated water risk. It can even be spread if an infected person bathes in a treated public swimming pool. It causes diarrhea, cramps and fever. Lasts about 10 days, but faeces carry infection for weeks. Prevention by avoiding mouth coming into contact with infected water or faecal matter and maintaining scrupulous toilet and bathing hygiene after being infected, to prevent reinfection of self or others. There is no cure. Prevented by boiling all drinking water, including tap water, in infected areas. ** '''Schistosomiasis/Bilharzia''' is a nasty parasite that can be picked up by swimming in contaminated fresh water. The worm is carried by freshwater snails, and emerges daily into the water, where it is attracted to water turbulence, shadows, and chemicals found on human skin. While unlikely to be fatal, Schistosomiasis is a devastating disease, which should be treated as soon as possible. Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, coughing, genital sores, itching especially around the feet, but above all serious fatigue. Schistosomiasis, while present throughout much of the world, is primarily a problem in sub-Saharan Africa, and is easily, if unhappily, prevented by not swimming in fresh water. ** '''Trichinosis''' — a roundworm - from eating improperly cooked infected meats, particularly pork. ** '''Strongyloidiasis''' —another roundworm. Risk from going barefoot in areas with poor septic systems and poverty. ** '''Cysticercosis''' — a tissue infection caused by the young form of the pork tapeworm ** '''Hydatids''' — another tapeworm - from eating improperly cooked infected meats, particularly sheep/mutton. Can also be spread by dogs that have been eating infected meat. * Viral: ** [[File:HAV prevalence 2005.svg|thumbnail|Prevalence of Hepatitis A in 2005: {{legend|#990000|High: prevalence higher than 8%}} {{legend|#FF9966|Intermediate: between 2% and 7%}} {{legend|#999999|Low : less than 2%}}]] '''Hepatitis A'''. Contracted through food or water contaminated with faeces, often by unwashed hands. The virus can remain active for days. Young children who contract it do not usually show symptoms. In older children and adults, symptoms appear two to six weeks after infection, and usually last less than two months, though may continue for six months. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, nausea, and abdominal pain, which may lead to jaundice. Acute hepatitis A resulted in 11,200 deaths in 2015. The mortality rate for hepatitis A was estimated to be 0.015% for the general population, but ranged up to 1.8-2.1% for those aged 50 and over. The disease gives lifelong immunity. Hepatitis A occurs throughout the world but levels are low in high-income regions (Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, United States, Japan, South Korea and Singapore). Travellers from low-income countries often have immunity due to childhood infection. A vaccine is available, and vaccination is the best way to prevent infection. Travellers from high and medium-income countries may consider vaccination before travelling to low-income countries. ** '''Norovirus''', also known as Norwalk virus, is a very common disease associated with profuse vomiting and diarrhea, abdominal pain, and muscle aches lasting up to three days. Hospitalization is rare unless people become severely dehydrated. It is frequently implicated in outbreaks on cruise ships and restaurants because it is highly transmissible. It is spread both through contaminated food and water and through person-to-person transmission from aerosolization of bodily fluids. Management is through adequate re-hydration. ** '''Polio''' is a viral disease that is spread through contaminated food or water. The vast majority of infections are asymptomatic, but the virus invades the nervous system in some individuals and may cause paralysis to one degree or another. Sometimes, patients can develop permanent respiratory difficulties as a result of damage to nerve tissue controlling the diaphragm, which often results in death. Thanks to widespread vaccination efforts, polio is no longer an issue in most countries, but continues to persist in [[Afghanistan]] and [[Pakistan]], where vaccination rates remain relatively low due to the influence of extremist Muslim clerics who claim that polio vaccinations are a conspiracy by the West to make Muslims sterile. If travelling to those areas, make sure you get vaccinated before you go. * Other: ** '''Seafood poisoning''' is a group of diseases caused by the toxins of algae contaminating seafood or of the seafood itself. It can range from tingling and burning sensation in the mouth (scombroid poisoning) to paralysis from eating shellfish (paralytic shellfish poisoning) contaminated with toxins from algae from red tides. Common symptoms also include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. A rare risk is puffer fish poisoning leading to paralysis and death from eating improperly prepared fugu - a Japanese delicacy. ===Sexually transmitted infections/blood-borne diseases=== Diseases in this category (also known as sexually transmitted diseases, STDs) are typically spread by having unprotected sex with infected persons. However, many of them can also be transmitted by sharing needles, or through contaminated blood transfusions. The best forms of protection against such diseases are monogamy, abstinence, or safe sex practices. Sharing of needles should be avoided, and should you need to receive an injection, ensure that all needles used on you are properly sterilized. Some travellers bring their own sterile disposable needles. While these diseases are not spread by casual contact, the reverse is not true — all contagious diseases can be transmitted through sexual activity. In addition, some vector-borne diseases, such as Zika, can infect via sexual transmission. [[File:PrevalenceHepB2014.png|thumb|upright=1|Percentage of people infected with hepatitis C in 2015]] [[File:Hepatitis B incidence rate, OWID.svg|thumb|upright=1|Hepatitis B incidence rate in 2017]] *'''Hepatitis B and C'''. Can be spread by entry of blood or bodily fluids from an infected person into the body, such as through sexual contact, sharing of hypodermic needles, or blood transfusion. "Hepatitis B is not spread through food or water, unlike hepatitis A ([http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hepatitis/b/faqb.htm US CDC FAQ]); nor by sharing eating utensils, breastfeeding, hugging, kissing, coughing, sneezing or casual contact." Symptoms of acute hepatitis A or B include abdominal pain, vomiting, and jaundice; either can sometimes kill. Acute hepatitis C is rare. Over many years, any of the hepatitis infections can cause liver scarring and liver cancer. : There are effective vaccines for hepatitis A and B, often combined into a single shot. These are recommended for many travellers; check with your doctor. As of mid-2021, there is no vaccine for hepatitis C yet. : It is controversial whether type C is even sexually transmitted at all. However, this matters little to the average person, who must take precautions against the myriad of other STIs. Hepatitis B infection can be suppressed with antiviral medications similar to HIV. Hepatitis C can be completely cured in most cases, but the price of the medication used varies hugely; see [[Medical_tourism#Generic_medications|medical tourism]] for details. *'''HIV (AIDS)'''. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is spread in the same way as hepatitis B. If left untreated over several years, the virus will cause a person's immune system to fail and lead to ''acquired immune deficiency syndrome'' (AIDS). Chastity or safer sex practices such as always correctly using high-quality [[condoms]] – and an absolute ban on needle-sharing – are wise precautions in any country of the world. No vaccine is available and there is no cure. Antiretroviral medication can keep an HIV infection from progressing to AIDS for decades and is used prophylactically for those who have been exposed or at high risk of being exposed to the virus (e.g. after a needlestick injury). *'''Herpes'''. A viral disease spread primarily by sexual contact, but also through kissing. Primarily has two forms - oral herpes and genital herpes. Symptoms of the disease are typically cold sores. The virus is able to stay latent in the human body, and reactivate later in life. While medical treatment can reduce the recurrence of a relapse, there is no cure or vaccine. *'''Gonorrhea'''. A bacterial disease primarily spread through unprotected sex. Symptoms include a burning sensation when urinating, as well as pus being discharged from the penis in men. Particularly dangerous for pregnant women, as it can spread to the baby during childbirth. No vaccine is available, but it can be treated with antibiotics. *'''Syphilis'''. A bacterial disease primarily spread through sexual contact. Early symptoms include chancres on the genitals. In later stages, papules and nodules can start to form all over the body. Severe cases cause infections of the brain. If not treated, it can cause architectural distortion of all parts of the body called gummatous syphilis. Particularly dangerous for pregnant women as it can spread to unborn babies and cause deformities, a condition known as '''congenital syphilis'''. No vaccine is available, though it can be treated with antibiotics such as penicillin. *'''Chlamydia'''. A bacterial disease that is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the world. Symptoms include pus discharge from the penis in men. Infection in women is usually asymptomatic, but sometimes causes inflammation of the cervix. If left untreated, it can spread to the eye and cause blindness. No vaccine is available, but antibiotics such as azithromycin are available to treat the disease. *'''Cervical cancer'''. One of the few infectious cancers in humans, caused by the '''human papillomavirus (HPV)'''. It is primarily spread by sexual contact. A vaccine for some strains of HPV is available, and while it does not prevent all cases, it greatly reduces the risk of contracting the disease. However, the vaccine is most effective when administered to girls a few years before their first sexual intercourse. ===Respiratory transmission=== Diseases in this category can be ''extremely'' contagious. They are spread through respiratory droplets of infected individuals. Some can be contracted simply by sharing the same airspace with an infected individual (e.g. measles, chicken pox, and tuberculosis). There is realistically nothing much you can do to avoid them completely, but you can mitigate the risks. Hand washing with soap and water, or use of alcohol-based hand sanitizer, and the use of personal protective equipment such as masks can decrease risk of transmission for some of these diseases. Surgical masks are a popular measure but their effectiveness is unclear. Ensure you have all the relevant vaccinations (e.g. measles-mumps-rubella, diphtheria, pertussis, chicken pox, influenza) where available. Avoid traveling to areas where there are epidemics of such diseases if you are not adequately immunized, especially for highly contagious diseases such as measles. Note: Smallpox was eradicated in 1977, and there is no vaccine anymore. *'''[[COVID-19 pandemic|COVID-19]]''' or Coronavirus Disease 2019. A pandemic of this illness, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, began in [[Wuhan]], [[China]], in late 2019. As of January 2022 the pandemic had caused hundreds of millions of cases and millions of deaths around the world. Its fatality rate is highest for older people and those with underlying health conditions. Infected people who do not have symptoms can transmit the virus to others. Mask wearing, frequent handwashing, physical distancing, and avoiding travel to affected areas are the recommended preventative measures. [[Self-isolation after travel|Self-quarantine]] for 10–14 days is recommended for travellers coming from some areas; in some cases quarantine is mandatory. The situation is changing rapidly, so stay up to date on official guidance and restrictions. Vaccines have been available since December 2020, though their availability varies widely between countries. *'''Avian influenza'''. A viral infection normally affecting birds but the Avian Influenza A virus has also been found, albeit extremely rarely, in some human infections. Current outbreaks among animals occurred in South-East Asia (Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam). The disease is transmitted to humans by contact with infected birds (especially poultry) and their excrement and may cause serious disease. Precautions include avoiding contact with wild birds and their excrement. Avian influenza infection appears frequently in the news because it could be a source for new influenza strains to which no-one has immunity and which have the potential to evolve to cause deadly epidemics. However, from the traveller's perspective the personal risk from avian influenza is extremely low. Travellers should obey recommendations on contact with poultry as a matter of civic duty, to prevent spreading the avian disease to birds in other countries. There is no vaccination available. *'''Influenza''' or the '''flu'''. Outbreaks of the flu occur every year in the colder half of the year. The disease kills an estimated 36,000 Americans each year, and results in 200,000 hospitalizations a year ([https://www.cdc.gov/flu/index.htm CDC flu page]). It is generally a miserable but not otherwise dangerous disease for the vast majority of people, and most deaths from influenza are of people who have other underlying health issues, with few deaths being reported in otherwise healthy individuals. As a general precaution an annual vaccination is often recommended for the latest strains prevalent in the countries you are visiting. The flu comes in many strains, with new ones being discovered every year, and vaccination will only protect you against certain strains, and not the others. There is no substitute for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which will reduce the risk of complications from the disease. *'''Chicken pox'''. An extremely contagious viral disease. Symptoms include vesicular skin rash, fever and oral ulcers. It is generally a mild disease in children, who usually recover after a week or so. However, it tends to be more severe in adults, who are at a greater risk of developing complications such as pneumonia, encephalitis, and rarely, hepatitis (inflammatory, not contagious to others), all of which could eventually lead to death. Chicken pox is easily preventable by vaccination. If you've had chicken pox in the past, and are roughly over the age of 50 or 60, a '''shingles''' vaccination is available to avoid a nasty rash and possible eye damage. Persons with shingles are contagious to those with no immunity to chicken pox, though shingles itself is not contagious. *'''Measles'''. An extremely contagious viral disease. Symptoms include rash, fever, running nose, cough and sore, red eyes. A mild though extremely unpleasant disease in most people, who usually recover after a few days' rest, it has nevertheless been the cause of many deaths, for example from the complication of encephalitis. The virus causes epidemics in populations with poor immunization coverage due to its high transmissibility. Every one infectious case is estimated to be able to infect 12 to 18 non-immune individuals. Easily preventable by vaccination. *'''SARS''' - Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). Caused by a ''coronavirus'' that is believed to have originated in bats, and spread to humans via civets and was highly infectious. Its control is an example of how unidentified (new) diseases can be controlled by simple but burdensome public health measures. As of early 2020, there is no evidence that this virus is present in humans. *'''MERS''' - Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV). Another illness caused by a ''coronavirus'' thought to have originated in bats, and spread to humans via camels. First discovered in 2012 in Saudi Arabia, it can cause a range of illnesses from mild flu-like symptoms to severe respiratory symptoms resulting in death. Sporadic cases continue to occur in the Middle East with some outbreaks linked with circulation within hospitals. There is no vaccine and treatment consists of management of symptoms. *'''Tuberculosis''' (TB). An illness caused by ''Mycobacterium tuberculosis'' and formerly known as ''consumption''. Considered a ''third world disease'' due to its link with poverty and poor health care. About a quarter of the world's population is infected with the bacteria. Ninety percent of people infected are asymptomatic (latent TB), but it can reactivate causing pulmonary tuberculosis with symptoms of chronic, sometimes bloody, cough, fatigue, and weight loss. TB can also affect other organs (extrapulmonary TB) including bones, the brain, and the skin. TB is endemic in many parts of the world with the greatest burden in India. It can occur in developed countries where the health care system makes treatment expensive or in marginalized groups such as the homeless. Starting a new job after moving internationally or taking an extended international trip sometimes requires a TB test (a chest X-ray, skin test, or blood test). TB is curable with antibiotics, but mis/incomplete treatment in some countries means antibiotic resistant strains are also a problem. A vaccine is available, although there is questionable efficacy in adults and it is usually not recommended for adult travelers. Discuss with your health care provider about the appropriateness. *'''Diphtheria'''. A contagious bacterial disease that is spread by coming into contact with infected people. Symptoms include a fever, and sore throat, as well as a swollen neck in more severe cases, which often results in death. If suspected, it is important to get '''immediate medical attention''', as delaying treatment will usually result in the treatment being less effective. Preventable by vaccination. *'''Pertussis'''. Also known as '''whooping cough''', an extremely contagious bacterial disease. The main symptom is usually severe coughing fits characterized by a whooping sound. Vomiting can also occur due to the severity of the cough. While rarely fatal in otherwise healthy adults, it is extremely dangerous in young children and babies, often resulting in death. Preventable by vaccination. *'''Meningococcal disease'''. A disease caused by the bacterium ''Neisseria meningitidis'' that is spread primarily through saliva and can be aerosolized by sneezing and coughing. Usually it colonizes the nose without causing any symptoms. However, rarely it can cause infection of the blood and the membrane covering the brain (meningitis) leading to severe disease that may result in death. Blood stream infections are characterized by rapidly spreading bruise like rashes while meningitis is characterized by confusion, severe headaches, and neck stiffness. It's a particular problem in the meningitis belt of Africa and in Saudi Arabia. There are vaccinations that protect against the strains that cause meningococcal disease. Infections of this disease require hospitalization and treatment with intravenous antibiotics. *'''Mumps'''. A contagious viral disease. Symptoms include fever, headache, loss of appetite, and painful swelling of the salivary glands. The disease is rarely fatal, though it is more commonly known to cause inflammation of the testes and sometimes, sterility in adult men. It is also known to cause miscarriages in infected pregnant women. Preventable by vaccination. *'''Rubella'''. Also known as '''German measles''', a contagious viral disease similar to but distinct from measles, hence the alternative name. Symptoms are similar, but tend to be milder than those for measles. Although it is a mild disease for most people, it is particularly dangerous for pregnant women, as the disease often causes deformities to develop in unborn babies, a condition known as '''congenital rubella syndrome'''. Preventable by vaccination. ===Others=== {{anchor|Ebola}} *'''Ebola'''. Found largely in Sub-Saharan Africa after contact with infected animals (especially bats, humans and other primates), this disease is usually fatal if not treated aggressively and early and has a 70–90% fatality rate overall. Call a hospital immediately upon experiencing symptoms. In 2014, a major ebola outbreak in [[West Africa]] caused over 4,000 deaths<!--as of Oct 2014-->, including visitors from the [[United States]] and [[Spain]]. Since late 2019, vaccines have become available. *'''Lassa fever'''. An acute viral illness that occurs in [[West Africa]]. In areas of Africa where the disease is endemic (that is, constantly present), Lassa fever is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. While Lassa fever is mild or has no observable symptoms in about 80% of people infected with the virus, the remaining 20% have a severe multi-system disease. Lassa fever is also associated with occasional epidemics, during which the case-fatality rate can reach 50%. *'''Leptospirosis'''. A bacterial disease carried mostly by rodents, but all animals are susceptible. It is often transmitted by animal urine or by water or soil containing animal urine coming into contact with breaks in the skin, eyes, mouth, or nose. Fortunately, most cases are mild, but kidney failure, severe pulmonary hemorrhage syndrome, and meningitis do occasionally occur. Seek immediate treatment, as it can be deadly. *'''Q fever'''. A bacterial disease caused by ''Coxiella burnetti'' due to contact with soil and dust contaminated with infected carcasses from goat, sheep, and cattle and also through contaminated unpasteurized milk.<!-- -->[[File:Rabies world map-Deaths per million persons-WHO2012.svg|thumb|right|upright=1|Deaths from rabies per million persons in 2012 {| style="border-spacing: 10px 0;" |{{legend|#ffff20|0}} || {{legend|#f08015|2–4}} || {{legend|#d85010|10–17}} |- |{{legend|#ff9a20|1}} || {{legend|#e06815|5–9}} || {{legend|#d02010|18–69}} |} ]][[File:Rabies Free Countries and Territories.svg|thumb|right|upright=1|Map of rabies-free countries and territories]] *{{anchor|Rabies}}'''Rabies'''. A horrific disease which is invariably fatal once symptoms develop. All warm-blooded creatures are capable of infecting you with rabies, but dogs and bats are the main source of human rabies deaths, contributing up to 99% of all rabies transmissions to humans. Human deaths following exposure to foxes, raccoons, skunks, jackals, mongooses and other wild carnivore host species are very rare, and bites from rodents are not known to transmit rabies. Almost all of the estimated 25,000 annual human deaths are in Asia and Africa. Human-to-human transmission through bites or saliva is theoretically possible but has never been confirmed. The same applies for transmission to humans via consumption of raw meat or milk of infected animals.<br /> If you have any suspicion that you have been bitten or infected, thoroughly wash the wound as soon as possible with soap and water for a minimum of 15 minutes and use a virus killing antiseptic such as iodine tincture. Alcohol is also good – the stronger the better, though it must contain some water (min. about 10%) to be effective. Also, flush your mouth, nose and eyes well with water in case drops of saliva have hit them. Seek proper medical care as a matter of extreme urgency. Slow transport or a lack of medical facilities may mean victims cannot be quickly treated after being infected. '''Treatment must begin before symptoms appear''', as once symptoms have started to appear, medical treatments are useless and death is virtually certain.<br /> There is a pre-exposure vaccine recommended to animal workers, outdoor travellers, and people living in remote high-risk areas with limited local access to rabies biologics. However, you must still seek treatment as soon as possible. The '''prophylactic vaccine only buys you some more time''', and less painful and complicated treatment. Rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) and rabies vaccine are both required as post-exposure measures (PEP), but are difficult to access in many countries. As much of RIG as is anatomically feasible should be injected at the wound site. Because rabies virus can persist in tissue for a long time before invading a peripheral nerve, a traveler who has sustained a bite that is suspicious for rabies should receive full PEP, including RIG, even if a considerable length of time has passed since the initial exposure. If completed in time, rabies treatment after infection is completely effective and will save your life. More info on [https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/rabies WHO website]. *'''Cat-scratch disease'''. Caused by the bacterium ''Bartonella henselae'' transmitted by the bite, scratch, or lick of a cat or kitten (young cats pose a greater risk than older cats). Symptoms include fever and inflamed lymph nodes and typically begin within 3–14 days following infection. The primary treatment is supportive. Antibiotics speed healing and are recommended in those with severe disease or immune problems. Recovery typically occurs within 4 months but can require a year. *'''Sepsis'''. Formerly described as "blood poisoning", it has been discovered that this life-threatening disease is caused by the body's overreaction to a serious infection. Sepsis can even continue after the infection is gone, and causes millions of deaths globally each year. Although sepsis isn't contagious, the initial infection certainly could be. If one person in your group develops sepsis, anyone else with the same infection should be closely monitored – especially blood relatives. Symptoms typically include those related to the infection, but are often accompanied by high fever, hot and flushed skin, elevated heart rate, hyperventilation, altered mental status, swelling, and low blood pressure. The disease is both more likely and more deadly in the very young and old; these victims may also have a dangerously low body temperature (hypothermia). '''Gangrene''' is a common complication of untreated sepsis, and doctors may have no other choice than to amputate affected limbs. Regardless of age, seek medical treatment immediately. *'''Tetanus'''. Also known as '''lockjaw''', it is a bacterial disease which is usually contracted by coming into contact with contaminated soil through an open wound. The disease generally causes painful muscle spasms throughout the body for up to four weeks, and in some cases causes problems with muscles involved in breathing, which leads to respiratory problems. Without treatment, it usually results in death. Unlike many other diseases, having suffered from tetanus does not result in immunity. However, a vaccine for tetanus is available, and vaccination usually prevents or at least reduces the severity of the disease. Virtually everyone should get this vaccine every ten years, regardless of travel. However, a booster vaccine is recommended if it's been over five years, and you have an open wound, or are traveling somewhere with limited medical access. == After travel == If you feel sick in the weeks after your trip, you should tell your healthcare providers about your travel history. If you were in a malaria zone, allow for one year. In some outbreaks it may be recommended to [[self-isolation after travel|self-isolate]] or monitor yourself for symptoms after travel. Self-isolation is recommended for many travellers amid the [[COVID-19]] pandemic. Aid workers who may have been exposed to Ebola are advised to self-monitor for symptoms. {{PartOfTopic|Stay healthy}} {{usabletopic}} fncvqzq3piaodbllavl860n0zl1dz9y 0 36939 4495829 4492382 2022-08-05T19:01:57Z Vidimian 1815 /* Hostels and guesthouses */ price for aparts, etc wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Turkey banner Suleymaniye Mosque.jpg|caption=From the courtyard of the Süleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul}} {{otheruses}} [http://www.goturkey.com/ '''Turkey'''] ([[Turkish phrasebook|Turkish]], and officially: ''Türkiye'') is a bi-continental country: an oft-repeated cliché about Turkey is that it is the bridge between [[Europe]] and [[Asia]]. This is true not only geographically, but also culturally, and many Turks value their European and Asian identities equally. Therefore, Turkey is the ultimate "exotic — but with a twist" destination for many: a great deal of travellers to the country will find a charming novelty in every corner, yet at the same time, will have a feel of comforting familiarity, regardless of which direction or how far they are arriving from. Add the Turks' legendary warmth towards the visitors to the mix, and you get the idea. From the dome-and-minaret filled skyline of [[Istanbul]] to the ancient ruins alongside the [[Aegean Turkey|western]] and [[Mediterranean Turkey|southern]] coasts, heavily indented against a craggy backdrop in [[Lycia]] and wide and sunny in [[Pamphylia]], to the cold and remote mountains of the [[Eastern Anatolia|East]], Turkey offers a wealth of destinations. Crazy "foam parties" in [[Bodrum]] running wild find their place with the Middle Eastern-flavoured cities of [[Southeastern Anatolia]] in the same country. The lush and misty mountains of the [[Eastern Karadeniz|Eastern Black Sea]] are only a few hours away from the vast steppe landscapes of [[Central Anatolia]]. So there is something for everyone's taste — whether they are travelling on an extreme budget by hitchhiking or by a multi-million yacht. ==Regions== {{Regionlist | regionmap=Turkey regions map.png | regionmapsize=560px | region1name=[[Aegean Turkey]] | region1color=#a1a4c1 | region1description=Greek and Roman ruins between the azure sea on one side and silvery olive groves on the other | region2name=[[Black Sea Turkey]] | region2color=#9eccb1 | region2description=Heavily forested mountains offering great outdoor sports such as trekking and rafting | region3name=[[Central Anatolia]] | region3color=#ceb881 | region3description=Tree-poor central steppes with the national capital, Hittite and Phrygian ruins, and moon-like Cappadocia | region4name=[[Eastern Anatolia]] | region4color=#c0ce98 | region4description=High and mountainous eastern part with harsh winters.

Mount Ararat (''Ağrı Dağı''), at 5,165 m, is Turkey's highest point and the legendary landing place of Noah's Ark on the far eastern edge of the country. The area that is now Turkey has been part of many of the world's greatest empires throughout history. The city of [[Troy (Turkey)|Troy]], famously destroyed by the [[Greece|Greeks]] in Homer's ''Illiad'', has always been associated with the entrance to the Dardanelles strait in northwestern Anatolia. Subsequently, the area was to become part of the Roman Empire, and subsequently, the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire after the Roman Empire split into two, with the city of Constantinople (now [[Istanbul]]) as the regional capital, as well as the Eastern Roman capital after the split. The [[Ottoman Empire]] subsequently defeated the Eastern Roman Empire, and dominated the eastern Mediterranean, until its defeat by the Allies in [[World War I]]. The Turkish Republic (''Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'') was founded in 1923 from the remnants of the Ottoman Empire. Soon thereafter the country instituted secular laws to replace traditional religious fiats and instigated many other radical reforms to rapidly modernise the state. Changing from Arabic script to the 29-letter Turkish alphabet, based on the Roman alphabet, was one of many personal initiatives of the founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Atatürk continues to be revered, and you can see his face gazing down on you or up into the distance in a fatherly, visionary or determined manner in many, many places around Turkey. Atatürk died in 1938 and was succeeded by his right-hand man, İsmet İnönü, who had been the first prime minister of the new republic. It was Inönü that boosted the cult of personality around Atatürk and who led Turkey for a longer time than his larger-than-life predecessor. Turkey joined the UN in 1945 and became a member of NATO in 1952. In 2022, the Government of Turkey began using the Turkish spelling of the country's name, Türkiye, as the name of the country in English. ===Geography=== Turkey occupies a landmass just over {{km2|750,000}}, more than double that of Germany and slightly more than Texas. In terms of the variety of terrain and particularly the diversity of its plant life, Turkey exhibits the characteristics of a small continent. There are, for example, some 10,000 plant species in the country (compared with some 13,000 in all of Europe) — one in three of which is endemic to Turkey. Indeed, there are more native plant species within Istanbul city limits (2,000) than in the whole of the United Kingdom. While many people know of Turkey's rich archaeological heritage, it possesses an equally valuable array of ecosystems — peat bogs, heathlands, steppes, and coastal plains. Turkey possesses many forests (about a quarter of the land) but, as importantly, some half of the country is a semi-natural landscape that has not been entirely remodelled by man. ===Culture=== While it may sound like a tourism brochure cliché, Turkey is really a curious mix of the west and the east — you may swear you were in a [[Balkans|Balkan]] country or in [[Greece]] when in the [[Marmara (region)|northwestern]] and [[Aegean Turkey|western]] parts of the country (except that Byzantine-influenced churches are substituted with equally Byzantine-influenced mosques), which are indeed partly inhabited by people originating from the Balkan countries, arriving in waves during the turmoil before, during, and after [[World War I]], while the [[Southeastern Anatolia|southeastern]] reaches of the country exhibit little if any cultural differences from Turkey's [[Middle East|southern and eastern neighbours]]. Influences from the [[Caucasus]] add to the mix in the [[Eastern Karadeniz|northeast]]. It can be simply put that Turkey is the most oriental of the western nations, or, depending on the point of view, the most occidental of the eastern nations. Perhaps one thing common to all of the country is '''[[Islam]]''', the faith of the bulk of the population. However, interpretation of it varies vastly across the country: many people in the northwestern and western coasts are fairly liberal about the religion (being nominal Muslims sometimes to the point of being irreligious), while the folk of the [[Central Anatolia|central steppes]] and the [[Eastern Anatolia|east]] are far more conservative (don't expect to find a [[Saudi Arabia]] or an [[Afghanistan]] even there, though). The rest of the country falls somewhere in between, with the coastal regions being relatively liberal while the inland regions are relatively conservative as a general rule. The largest '''religious minority''' in the country are the Alevites, who constitute up to 20% of the population and subscribe to a form of Islam closer to that of the Shiite version, and whose rituals draw heavily from the shamanistic ceremonies of ancient Turks. The other religious minorities (the Greek Orthodox, Armenian Apostolic, Jews, Syriac Oriental Orthodox, and Roman Catholics, the latter of whom mainly settled in Turkey within the last 500 years from Western European countries) were once numerous across the country, but are now mostly confined to the large cities of [[Istanbul]] and [[Izmir]], or parts of [[Southeastern Anatolia]] in the case of the Syriac Oriental Orthodox. Despite its large Muslim majority population, Turkey officially remains a secular country, with no declared state religion. ===Holidays=== There are several holidays that can cause delays in travel, traffic congestion, booked up accommodations and crowded venues. Banks, offices and businesses are closed during official holidays and traffic intensifies during all of the following holidays so do your research before you visit. Do not be put off by these holidays, it is not that difficult and often quite interesting to travel during Turkish holidays; plan ahead as much as possible. ====Official holidays==== * 1 January: New Year's Day (''Yılbaşı'') * 23 April: National Sovereignty and Children's Day (''Ulusal Egemenlik ve Çocuk Bayramı'') &mdash; the anniversary of the establishment of the Turkish Grand National Assembly rallies, Turkish flags and Atatürk portraits everywhere, all modes of travel busy * 1 May: Labour and Solidarity Day (''Emek ve Dayanışma Günü'', also unofficially known as ''İşçi Bayramı'', i.e. Worker's Day) was long banned as a holiday for almost 40 years and only restarted as a national holiday in 2009 because in years past it usually degenerated into violence. Don't get caught in the middle of a May Day parade or gathering. * 19 May: Atatürk Commemoration and Youth & Sports Holiday (''Atatürk'ü Anma Gençlik ve Spor Bayramı'') &mdash; the arrival of Atatürk in [[Samsun]], and the beginning of the War of Independence * 30 August: Victory Day (''Zafer Bayramı'') &mdash; Celebration of the end of the war for Turkish Independence over invasion forces. A big Armed Forces day and display of military might by huge military parades. * 29 October: Republic Day (''Cumhuriyet Bayramı'' or ''Yirmi dokuz Ekim'') is the anniversary of the declaration of the Turkish Republic. If it falls on a Thursday for example, Friday and the weekend should be considered in your travel plans. October 29 is the official end of the tourist season in many resorts in [[Mediterranean Turkey]] and usually, there is a huge celebration at the town squares. * 10 November, 09:05 &mdash; Traffic usually stops and sirens blare for two minutes starting at 09:05, the time when Atatürk, founder of the Turkish Republic, died in [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Dolmabahçe Palace]] in [[Istanbul]] in 1938. That moment in time is officially observed throughout the country but businesses and official places are not closed for the day. However, do not be surprised if you are on the street, you hear a loud boom and all of a sudden people and traffic stop on the sidewalks and streets for a moment of silence in observance of this event. ====Religious holidays==== {{ramadandates}} '''Ramadan''' (''Ramazan'' in Turkish) is a month-long time of fasting, prayer and celebration during which pious Muslims neither drink nor eat anything, even water, from sun up to sun down. Businesses, banks and official places are not closed during this time. In some parts of Turkey, such as most of [[Central Anatolia|inland]] and [[Eastern Anatolia|eastern]] locations as locals are more conservative than people in the rest of the country, it is considered to be bad taste to eat snacks or drink sodas in front of locals in public places or transport&mdash; to be completely on the safe side, watch how local folk act&mdash; but restaurants are usually open and it is no problem to eat in them as usual, though some restaurant owners use it as an opportunity for a much-needed vacation (or renovation) and shut their business completely for 30 days. However, you will unlikely see any closed establishment in big cities, central parts of the cities, and touristy towns of [[Aegean_Turkey|western]] and [[Mediterranean_Turkey|southern Turkey]]. At sunset, call for prayer and a cannon boom, fasting observers immediately sit down for ''iftar'', their first meal of the day. Banks, businesses and official places are not closed during this time. '''During Ramadan''', many city councils set up tent-like structures in the major squares of the cities that are for the needy, those in poverty or the elderly or handicapped, and are also served for passers-by, with warm meals during the sunset (''iftar''), free of charge (much like soup kitchens, but instead serving full meals). ''Iftar'' is a form of charity that is very rewarding especially when feeding someone who is needy. It was first practised by the Prophet Muhammad during the advent of Islam, for that purpose. Visitors are welcome to join but do not take advantage of it during the entire fasting period, just because it is free of charge. Immediately following ''Ramazan'' is the '''Eid-ul Fitr''', or the three-day national holiday of ''Ramazan Bayramı'', also called ''Şeker Bayramı'' (i.e. "Sugar" or more precisely "Candy Festival") during which banks, offices and businesses are closed and travel will be heavy. However, many restaurants, cafés and bars will be open. ''Kurban Bayrami'' (pronounced ''koor-BAHN bahy-rah-muh'') in Turkish, ('''Eid el-Adha''' in Arabic) or sacrifice holiday is the most important Islamic religious festival of the year. It lasts for several days and is a public holiday in Turkey. Almost everything will be closed during that time (many restaurants, cafes, bars and some small shops will be open). ''Kurban Bayrami'' is also the time of the '''annual pilgrimage ([[Hajj]]) to Mecca''', so both domestic and international travel is intense in Turkey at this time. If you are in smaller towns or villages you may even observe an animal, usually a goat but sometimes a cow, being slaughtered in a public place. The Turkish government has cracked down on these unofficial slaughterings so it is not as common as it once was. The dates of these religious festivals change according to the Muslim lunar calendar and thus occur 10-11 days (the exact difference between Gregorian and Lunar calendars is 10 days and 21 hr) earlier each year. According to this, * ''Şeker/Ramazan Bayramı'' * ''Kurban Bayramı'' continues for four days During both religious holidays, many cities provide '''public transport for free''' (this does not include privately owned minibuses, ''dolmuş''es, taxis, or inter-city buses). This depends on the place and time. For example, [[Istanbul]]'s public transport authority has provided free transport in Eid-ul Fitr, but not in Eid-ul Adhawhen its passengers had to pay a discounted rate. For some years, it was all free on both holidays, while in some others there was no discount at all. To be sure, check whether other passengers use a ticket/token or not. ===Climate=== The climate in Turkey is often (rather simplistically) described as Mediterranean, and this brings to mind the imagery of sunny, hot summers and warm seas. The reality is a bit more complicated than this, however. While most of the southern and western coasts of Turkey fit this description quite well, most of Turkey does not. In fact, the northern coasts are rainy enough to feature temperate rainforests, with the lush Euxine-Colchic forests stretching all the way from northern Istanbul (see [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Belgrad Forest]]) to Georgia. Meanwhile, the continental inland regions, especially in the east, can get ''brutally'' cold with temperatures approaching -40°C during the coldest nights of winter. Keeping this information in mind, it is very important to plan accordingly. ==== Black Sea coast ==== Areas on the Black Sea coastline experience an oceanic climate, similar to Western Europe, albeit the Black Sea coastline is quite a bit rainier. Summers are warm, but they feature regular heavy showers and therefore risk of floods and mudslides. Winter ranges from mild to cold but is generally chilly with lengthy periods of rain and brief breaks of sunshine. Snow in the region is occasional and falls most winters. Watch out if you decide to climb the mountains, they can feature intense snowfalls. ==== Marmara region ==== Areas on the coast of the Marmara Sea, including Istanbul, have an oceanic climate as well, however it might be more accurate to call it a dry-summer oceanic climate, similar to areas like the Pacific Northwest. Marmara's winters are possibly the hardest vacation sales pitch in the country, except perhaps continental locations in Eastern Turkey. While not brutally cold by any means, it is utterly miserable, as it experiences -although most locals might find the term suffers through more accurate- almost 20 days of rain a month. Summers are very warm in Istanbul and hot in southern Marmara, but unlike the Black Sea region, all of the region is relatively less rainy during summer, nevertheless with high levels of humidity. Snow in this region is occasional, but falls every winter, and is likely to affect road conditions, especially in relatively highland locations. ==== Aegean and Mediterranean coasts ==== Areas on the Mediterranean and Aegean coastlines have a typical Mediterranean climate, similar to the Central Valley in California, Adelaide in Australia, and of course the rest of the Mediterranean Basin. Summers are hot and dry, with temperatures reaching 35°C very regularly. Winters are mild with occasional rainstorms, which can get quite heavy. Snow in this region is rare, except in Gallipoli, where a few snowy periods are typical. ==== Inland regions ==== Inland regions generally have a continental climate, with hot, dry summers (expect around 30°C during the day, unless mentioned below) and cold, snowy winters (expect around 0°C during the day, unless mentioned below). The individual differences inside these regions are too many and too complicated to talk about here; however, there are general warnings that are useful. * Summers in the southeastern part of the country and near valleys inland from the Aegean coast can get very hot, with daytime averages near or above 35°C (95°F) * Winters in the eastern part of the country can get very cold as well, with nighttime temperatures regularly plunging below -18°C (0°F) * Spring is thunderstorm season in inland locations, and severe storms can definitely be a problem. ==Get in== ===Entry requirements=== [[File:Visa policy of Turkey.svg|thumb|375px|Visa requirements for Turkey. Countries in dark red or green have visa-free access, and countries in blue or cream can get an eVisa.]] Turkey is one of the few Middle Eastern countries that accept Israeli passport holders in their country. ====Visa-free==== [https://www.konsolosluk.gov.tr/VisaInfo/Index Turkish visa requirements] were relaxed in 2020. Ordinary passport holders of the countries below can enter Turkey visa-free for tourism and commerce, for up to 90 days unless a shorter period is stated. Your passport must be valid for 60 days beyond your maximum stay, so for most visitors that is 150 days beyond entry. That is just under five months: they politely ask for six months validity on entry but it is not a requirement. (Be prepared to argue this point with airline clerks.) So, no visa needed if you're from: * all EU and EEA countries, plus Monaco, Liechtenstein, Andorra and the Vatican, and the United Kingdom, '''except''' the Republic of Cyprus. For Latvia entry is only for 30 days. * other European countries are Albania (90 days), Bosnia and Herzegovina (90), Kosovo (90), Moldova (90), Montenegro (90), North Macedonia (90), Serbia (90), Ukraine (90), and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (no limit). * CIS countries: Russia (60), Belarus (30), Azerbaijan (30), Georgia (90), Kazakhstan (30), Kyrgyzstan (30), Mongolia (30), Tajikistan (30), Turkmenistan (30) and Uzbekistan (30); '''but not''' Armenia. * Central and South America and the Caribbean: Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica (30), Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, St Kitts and Nevis, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, and Venezuela. * Others are Brunei, Hong Kong (SAR Passports only), Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya (depends on age), Macau (30), Malaysia, Morocco, New Zealand, Qatar, Seychelles, Singapore, South Korea, Syria, Thailand (30) and Tunisia. A national ID card is acceptable instead of a passport from the EU and EEA countries of Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway (temporarily until the end of 2022; the card should have at least 6 months validity beyond the date of entry), Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland, plus Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, TR Northern Cyprus, and Ukraine. For Norwegians, Poles, and Ukrainians (and perhaps others), this is only possible if they are arriving directly from their home countries. Often only the newer, biometric versions of the ID cards are accepted in lieu of passports. It is ambiguous whether the card needs 90+60 days remaining validity on entry. For some of those countries, you may even enter on a passport/ID that is expired within the last five years. Never plan on doing this, as it is unlikely you would be allowed to leave the previous country or to board a flight or boat. There would have to be some special reason. "Fighting in Syria this last ten years" will not do, as the waiver specifically excludes arrivals from Iran, Iraq or Syria. The visa-free regime is only for tourist and commercial visits. Employment or study requires a visa from the Turkish consulate; e-visas are not available for this. ====E-Visa==== Other citizens need a visa, but most can get an e-visa [https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/ online]. Official prices are quoted in US dollars; for instance, it is US$20 for the US, US$60 for Australia and Canada, and no fee for Mexico, Malta and Kuwait. These rates (correct as of June 2022) are only for prior application. Beware third-party websites scalping you for more. An e-visa is '''valid for three months''' for passport holders of Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Canada, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Haiti, Hong Kong (BNO Passport), Jamaica, Maldives, Mexico, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, United Arab Emirates and United States. It is '''valid for one month''' from Armenia, Bahrain, China, Cyprus, East Timor, Fiji, Mauritius, Namibia, South Africa, Suriname, Taiwan, and Zambia. A longer list of nationalities can get an e-visa '''valid for one month''', with a big catch: you must already hold some other valid visa such as an EU Schengen, British or Irish visa. Those people will have jumped through various official hoops to get such a visa, so it is as if Turkey has expatriated its consular processes and doesn't need to closely vet such applicants. The rules vary - for some there is an age restriction, or even a requirement to arrive on Turkish Airlines. These additional countries are Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, Botswana, Burkino Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, India, Iraq, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Nepal, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Palestine, Philippines, Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Vietnam, Yemen, and Zimbabwe. ====Visa on arrival==== You can also get your visa on arrival at a Turkish airport, generally for $10-20 USD beyond what you would have paid for a e-Visa. Due to the way that Visas on arrival are priced, it is possible that the visa on arrival may cost less than an e-Visa if you pay in a currency other than US Dollars. For example, a visa on arrival for a Canadian citizen is $60 USD, but if you pay in Euro banknotes, it would cost $53 USD (as of June 2022 pricing and foreign exchange rates). The Visa on arrival is not a formal printed visa but stamps applied within your passport. The same conditions as for the e-visa apply. However, you may have to face down airline gate agents saying you cannot check-in without a visa when leaving for Turkey from another country. Use a bank card in the airport machines to avoid grief over acceptable bank notes. ===By plane=== Turkey's chief international gateway by air is '''Istanbul Airport''' ({{IATA|IST}}), opened in Oct 2018. This has excellent global connections, as the flag-carrier Turkish Airlines is vying with the Gulf carriers to capture traffic between Europe and the Middle- and Far-East; it also serves all major Turkish cities. It is 40 km northwest of downtown, reach the city by bus. The former main airport '''Atatürk closed in April 2019'''. Beware out-of-date road signage & maps, and crooked taxi drivers who may try to take you to what is now a demolition site. Another gateway is Istanbul's second airport, '''[http://www.sgairport.com/homepage Sabiha Gökçen Airport]''' ({{IATA|SAW}}), 50 km east of central Istanbul on the [[Istanbul/Asian Side|Asian side]]. It is particularly used by budget airlines such as [http://www.flypgs.com Pegasus]. The flight connections are not as extensive as Istanbul's, but they include the main Turkish cities, Ercan in Northern Cyprus, and several Gulf States. This airport is also convenient for Pendik railway station, for fast trains to Eskişehir, Ankara and Konya. There are shuttle buses to the airport from Taksim square. Beach resorts such as '''[[Antalya]], Bodrum''' and '''Dalaman''' have direct package-tour flights from Europe, including from minor and secondary airports. You may be able to book these as flight-only. There are occasional summer international flights direct to other Turkish cities such as Ankara, Adana and Izmir. But normally, reaching these means changing planes in Istanbul and clearing immigration, security and customs there. You need to allow the best part of two hours for this. Ask at your departure airport whether your bags are being checked through to your destination, or whether you need to pick them up in Istanbul. ===By train=== [[File:Train Istanbul Téhéran au Kurdistan.jpg|thumb|300px|The train from Ankara to Lake Van heading through the mountains of Eastern Turkey]] From Western Europe to Turkey by train, the route goes through Budapest then overnight from either Bucharest or Sofia to Istanbul. A sleeper train departs Sofia around 21:00 nightly, running via Plovdiv, Kapikule on the border, and Edirne, to terminate at Halkali at 07:40. TCDD run a connecting bus between Halkali and Sirkeci downtown, otherwise change to the frequent Marmaray cross-city train to reach central Istanbul. From June to Sept another sleeper, the Bosphor Express, departs Bucharest at 12:45, running via Ruse to Kapikule. Here it is coupled to the train from Sofia, and all passengers have to get out for border procedures, before continuing to Halkali. The westbound train leaves Halkali at 21:40 to reach Sofia by 09:00 and Bucharest by 19:00 next day. From October to May the through-train from Bucharest doesn't run, so you change trains at Ruse then again at Kapikule, with a similar timetable. Trains from further west (i.e. Budapest and Belgrade) don't connect with the trains to Turkey, so you need to spend a night in either Sofia or Bucharest. Second class single fares are about €20 from Sofia, €40 from Bucharest, plus couchette supplement of €10. The standard of accommodation aboard is similar to the Turkish domestic slow trains. [https://www.optimatours.de/ Optima Express] runs a '''car-train''' between [[Villach]] in [[Austria]] and Edirne about twice a week April-November, taking 33 hours. Departure days vary. This train enables motorists to avoid the tricky, tiring roads through the Balkans; however it is also open for passengers without cars. Optima don't offer tickets from intermediate stations such as Zagreb. In June 2019, another train ran daytime between Plovdiv in Bulgaria and Edirne. It was meant to be a permanent service, but lasted for just one weekend then they cancelled! It is not known if it will ever resume - it created a useful extra route between Bulgaria and Turkey, avoiding arrival / departure in the small hours. '''The Budapest-Belgrade line is closed until 2022''' for engineering works, and Belgrade-Sofia through-trains may not run in 2021, so it's better to reach Turkey via Bucharest. {{infobox|It's murder on that Orient Express|The [[Orient Express]] ran from 1883 between Paris and Constantinople, initially by multiple trains and ferries, with the first through-service in 1889. From the outset it used several routes, so Bucharest and Sofia can both claim to be on the original route. This is the train that famously got stuck in a blizzard near [[Çerkezköy]] for six days in 1929. Agatha Christie wasn't aboard that day, but in 1931 she suffered a 24-hour delay, giving her too much time to plot foul motives and deeds for the characters of her next novel. The full Orient Express ran to 1977 then was curtailed to Bucharest then to Budapest then to Vienna, and ran for the last time in 2007. Private [[tourist train]]s continue to use the name, best known being the Venice-Simplon Orient Express, which once or twice a year goes all the way to Istanbul. The name also lives on in a restaurant at Sirkeci.}} The new railway between Turkey and Georgia only carries freight, but passenger trains between Ankara, Kars, Tbilisi and Baku are expected to start after post-Covid normalization. Trains to Iran run once a week. From Istanbul you need to travel to Ankara on Saturday to be sure of catching the Sunday train to Tatvan. From there you cross the lake to Van, then join the Monday overnight train to Tabriz and Tehran. So that is three days in all. This service used to be called the "Trans-Asia Express" but they don't use that name now. Don't count on receiving a visa on arrival on the rail border crossings — see the section on visas [[#Entry requirements|above]]. There are no cross-border trains to any other country. For Greece, travel to Sofia then change for Thessaloniki. There is no foreseeable prospect of services to Armenia, Iraq, Syria, or the Azerbaijan exclave of Nakhchivan. ===By car=== From [[Central Europe]], getting to Turkey is not too difficult. In any case you'll need your International Insurance Card (Green Card). Pay attention to "TR" not being cancelled and be sure your insurance is valid for the Asian part of Turkey, too. Otherwise you will have to buy Turkish car insurance separately. In any case, Turkish customs will make an entry into your passport stating when the car (and thus you) have to leave Turkey again. A [[Carnet de Passage|carnet de passage]] is not necessary unless you intend to move on to [[Iran]], which requires you to have one. Foreign driver's licences are valid for up to 6 months beyond the date of entry. The regulations aren't entirely clear on the validity of licences from ''which'' countries, but it's safe to assume those issued by the parties to the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (most of the European countries and many others elsewhere; check the list at the end of [https://www.nvi.gov.tr/ssss-surucu-belgesi this official webpage]) are acceptable, at the very least. If unsure, obtain an international driving permit before setting out. Major roads [[Driving in Europe|from '''Europe''']] are: * '''E80''' enters Turkey at Kapıkule border gate (west of [[Edirne]], east of [[Svilengrad]]) from [[Bulgaria]] * '''E87''' enters Turkey at Dereköy border gate (north of [[Kırklareli]], south of [[Malko Tarnovo]]) from Bulgaria * '''E90''' enters Turkey at İpsala border gate (west of [[Keşan]], east of [[Alexandroupolis]]) from [[Greece]] And see "By train" above for the '''car-train''' between Villach in Austria and Edirne. The former EuroTurk car-train from Bonn no longer runs. Major roads from the '''Middle East''' enter Turkey at numerous border gates around [[Antakya]] (Antioch), from [[Syria]]n cities such as [[Aleppo]] and [[Latakia]], Habur border gate (south of [[Silopi]], north of [[Zakho]]) from [[Iraq]], and Gürbulak/Bazergan border gate (east of [[Doğubayazıt]], west of [[Maku]]) from [[Iran]]. Major roads from the '''Caucasus''' enter Turkey at [[Sarpi|Sarp/Sarpi]] border gate (south of [[Batumi]]) and Türkgözü border gate (north of [[Ardahan]], south of [[Akhaltsikhe]]) from [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]]. Since 1993, the border with [[Armenia]] has been closed, thus it's impossible to cross into Turkey through Armenia. Various smaller border posts with nearly all of the neighbouring countries also exist; they might be closed at night, or have connecting roads not in an as good condition as those listed above. During holidays these border gates, particularly those linking to the European countries, may be extremely congested at times. Especially during the summer many Turks who live in Germany drive back home and this creates huge lines at the border. === By bus=== ====Europe==== From [[Bucharest]] there is a daily bus to Istanbul at 16:00 for RON125. There are also several daily buses from [[Constanta]], [[Romania]] and from [[Sofia]], [[Bulgaria]] and from there you can get connections to the major cities of Europe. Another possibility is the bus from [[Athens]] in [[Greece]] via [[Thessaloniki]]. You may also find smaller bus companies offering connections to other countries in the Balkans. A couple of Turkish bus companies operate buses between Sofia and Istanbul. These buses typically stop at various cities along the way. A direct bus service connects [[Odessa]], [[Ukraine]] with [[Istanbul]] once a week for 1,000&nbsp;грн (about €40) (2015). ====Georgia==== There are several border points between Turkey and [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], in particular in [[Batumi]] and [[Tbilisi]]. You may have to change at the border, but should be able to find direct buses from Istanbul to Batumi, Tbilisi and Baku in Azerbaijan. ====Iraq==== Bus companies also connect [[Erbil]] to the Turkish cities of [[Diyarbakır]] (10–15 hours) and [[Istanbul]] (36–48 hours). The list of companies here is incomplete; there are at least two other Turkish companies running buses from Erbil to cities in Turkey - look around for flyers on Iskan Road in Erbil. Arrival time depends on border formalities. *'''Cizre Nuh''' (Tel Erbil: [tel:0750&#x20;340&#x20;47&#x20;73 0750 340 47 73]) runs everyday at 15:30 from the New City Mall, 60m Road to Istanbul ($100) via Silopi ($40) Diyarbakır and other cities in between. Tickets can be bought at the New City Mall, Flyaway on Barzani Namir and at a phone shop on Shekhi Choly close to the Bazaar. *'''Can Diyarbakir''' (Tel Erbil: [tel:0750&#x20;895&#x20;62&#x20;17-18-19 0750 895 62 17-18-19]) leaves daily from Family Mall on 100mt Road to Istanbul via [[Ankara]], Diyarbakır and other cities in between. *'''Best Van''' runs from Ainkawa Road in Erbil to Istanbul via [[Adana]], [[Aksaray]], Ankara (departure at 14:00) and Diyarbakır (departure at 16:00, via [[Hasankeyf]] and [[Batman]]). The bus back from Diyarbakır to Erbil departs at 11:00. ====Iran==== There is a direct bus to [[Istanbul]] from [[Teheran]] in [[Iran]] which takes approx 48hr and costs USD$35 for a one-way ticket between Istanbul or Ankara and Tehran. *[[Dogubeyazit]]/[[Bazerghan]] This Turkey/Iran border crossing is easily (and quickly) done by public transport. Take a bus to [[Bazerghan]] and a shared taxi to the border (US$2-3). Cross the border stretch per pedes and catch a frequent minibus (~5 TL, 15 minutes) to [[Dogubeyazit]]. Check the security situation in the region, due to the unsolved PKK conflict. *There are also buses from [[Van]] to [[Urmia]] crossing the Turkey/Iran border at Esendere/Sero. The buses cost ~€13 and it takes more than 6 hr to finish the 300 km path. This is because of the poor roads, harsh snowy conditions during the winter and also many military checkpoints because of security reasons concerning the PKK. This southern route is less frequent than the northern [[Dogubeyazit]]/[[Bazerghan]], as it is much slower but therefore a scenic mountainous route. Make sure you get a clear idea about exchange rates if you want to change Turkish lira or rial as the official bank at the border does not exchange these currencies and you have to deal with the plentiful black market. ====Syria==== If you're sure you want to go . . . assume it'll be a change of bus at the border. The through-buses for Damascus and Beirut haven't run for years. ===By boat=== '''To Istanbul''' there are [http://www.ukrferry.com Black Sea ferries] several times a week from Chornomorske, the main port for '''[[Odessa]]''' in Ukraine. They run all year and take vehicles. In bygone years ferries sailed between Istanbul and other Black Sea ports, and elsewhere in the Med, but they no longer do so. Cruise ships usually dock on Istanbul's European side, around Karaköy / Galataport close to the historic centre. These ships are on cruise itineraries, check with the operator whether a point-to-point journey ending in Istanbul is possible. Several Greek islands lie close to the Turkish '''Aegean coast''' and are linked by hydrofoil fast ferries, and also have westward ferries that ultimately reach Piraeus the port for Athens. Routes (some seasonal) include Bodrum-Kos, Çeşme-Chios, Datça-Rhodes & Symi, Kuşadası-Samos and Marmaris-Rhodes. From July 2019 a direct ferry sails between Turkey and '''mainland Greece''', run by [https://aegeanseaways.com Aegean Seaways] {{dead link|December 2020}}. This sails overnight M W F from Lavrion near [[Athens]] at 22:00 to reach [[Çeşme]] near [[Izmir]] in Turkey at 06:00, sailing back from Çeşme Tu Th Sa at 22:00 overnight. On Sunday the ferry sails from Lavrion at 11:00 to reach Çeşme at 19:00, then sails back near midnight to return to Lavrion at 08:00. It is intended to run this service year-round. There are ferry connections from Kyrenia in '''[[Northern Cyprus]]''' to [[Tasucu|Taşucu]], Mersin (near [[Adana]]) and [[Alanya]]. A year-round truckers ferry goes to Taşucu, while seasonal fast ferries depart to both Taşucu and Mersin. ==Get around== {{COVID-19 box|The requirement to have an [https://hayatevesigar.saglik.gov.tr/hes-eng.html HES Code] for COVID-19 tracking purposes for inter-city travel was repealed in March 2022.|lastedit=2022-06-16}} {{infobox|Camels|Despite the stereotype, camels are not native to Turkey, nor are they present in significant numbers. Most camels in the country serve the sole purpose of being tourist photo props, adorned with flowers and all kinds of ornaments. There are very few actually working camels, mostly lending their assistance to the even fewer ''Yörük'' nomads during their seasonal migrations through the Taurus Mountains flanking the southern coast. However, this wasn't always necessarily so. Countless camel trains once roamed the trade routes across the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman lands]] from the Arabian deserts and the eastern frontier well into Europe. Their legacy lives on in the popularity of camel wrestling in the towns near the Aegean coast, and perhaps among other locations in the name of a particularly steep climb on the approach to Istanbul, near Büyükçekmece in the [[Istanbul/Western Suburbs|western outskirts]] of the city — the ''Devebağırtan'', "where the camel screams". While the caravan trail has long been replaced by a roaring highway, the vehicles equipped with every modern appliance still have to remarkably gear down on the ascent.}} ===By plane=== By European standards, Turkey is a huge country, with mountains impeding the highways and railways, so domestic air travel is well-developed. Especially on routes to Istanbul it's also very competitive, with [http://www.turkishairlines.com/ Turkish Airlines], and low-cost companies Anadolujet (part of Turkish Airlines), [http://www.flypgs.com/EN/ Pegasus Airlines] and [http://www.sunexpress.com/ Sunexpress Airlines] fighting for your custom. They operate flights from Izmir and Antalya regions to the Eastern and Black Sea regions. There are flights between Istanbul and Ankara hourly; Izmir and Adana have several flights a day to Istanbul (both IST and SAW) and Ankara, and every city has at least a daily flight. Regional airports usually have a connecting ''Havaş'' bus to the city centre, which will wait, within reason, for incoming flights. Buses and minibuses also fan out from the airports to other nearby towns. ===By bus=== [[File:AŞTİ üst kattan.JPG|thumb|Ankara Central bus terminal]] Turkey has a very good long-distance bus network with air-conditioned buses, reserved seats and generally good-quality service, at least with the major operators. There are now quite a number of companies providing more comfortable buses with 2 + 1 seats per row. Standard buses, however, have seats narrower than those of economy class on aircraft. Buses are often crowded and smoking is prohibited. Go to the Otogar (bus station) in any of the major cities and you can find a bus to almost any destination departing within half an hour, or a couple of hours at the most. Buses are staffed by drivers and a number of assistants. During the ride you will be offered free drinks, a bite or two, and stops will be made every 2½ hr or so at well-stocked road restaurants. The further east you travel, the less frequent buses will be, but even places as far as Dogubeyazit or Van will have regular services to many places hundreds of kilometres away. Only the smallest towns do not have a bus straight to Istanbul or Izmir at least once every two days. The four biggest bus companies are: * [http://www.metroturizm.com.tr Metro Bus] * [https://www.pamukkale.com.tr Pamukkale] * [https://www.ulusoy.com.tr Ulusoy] * [http://www.kamilkoc.com.tr Kamil Koç] Although, even the smallest company can nowadays be booked via a streamlined website of that bus company. All of them demand a Turkish phone number, but you might just fill in a fake one starting with "539" or so. But the email address should work, to get the ticket. All companies accept foreign passengers and passports. In high season it might make sense to book ahead&mdash;just check out the situation a couple of days ahead online. You can also use websites that accumulate all the connections, like [https://www.obilet.com obilet] or [https://www.busbud.com/ busbud]&mdash;check both, they have different companies. Buses are reliable and will pick you up&mdash;remember Istanbul has at least 3 bus stations. Otherwise, '''bus tickets''' can also be bought inside of bus terminals. Often checking out several ticket booths will give you a better price, since some specialize on certain bus companies and others do not. Be careful, scammers will be waiting for you in and before bus stations, and some may assist you in buying a ticket to a bus that won't depart in the next two hours. Sometimes there simply is no other bus, but on other occasions you will be sitting there while other buses with the same destination start well ahead. If you have some time to spare: check the departure (and arrival) times of other companies, that may save you time overall. Still, if you indicate you really want to leave ''now'' (use phrases like "hemen" or "şimdi", or "acelem var" - I am in a hurry ), people will realize you are in hurry, and off you go on the next bus departing for your destination. If you have several operators to choose from, ask for the number of seats in the buses you compare. Roughly, a larger capacity implies a greater comfort (all bus-seats have approximately the same leg-room, but larger 48-seat buses are certainly more comfortable than a 15-seat Dolmuş, which may be considered a 'bus' by the company selling the seat). Also, the bus company with the largest sign is usually the one with the most buses and routes. If possible, ask other travellers you meet about their experiences with different operators: even big operators have different standards of service, and even with the same operator the standards may vary from region to region. Don't be surprised if halfway to some strange and far-off destination you are asked out of the bus (your luggage will often be already standing next to it) and transferred to another. The other bus will "buy" you, and will bring you to the destination. This may even happen for 'direct' or 'non-stop' tickets. Sometimes long-haul bus lines will leave you stranded on some ring-road around a city, rather than bringing you to the center. That can be annoying. Inquire ahead (and hope they don't lie). On the other hand, many companies will have "servis aracı" or service vehicles to the center, when the Otogar is on the periphery of a city, as they nowadays often are. In some cities these service vehicles are used by many companies combined, and a fleet of them, to different parts of the metropolis, will be waiting. The company may also choose to combine the passengers of multiple buses; meaning that you may have to wait until another bus or two arrives before departing. Keep your ticket ready as proof you were on a bus (though most of these services are run on good faith). In some cities (including Ankara, excluding Istanbul), the municipality have prohibited the use of service buses due to their effect on traffic. In that case, you might have to take a public bus or metro to get to your destination. One should probably avoid using taxis (at least departing from the Otogar) since they usually tend to abuse their monopolistic position by refusing to go to closer destinations, behaving rudely towards the passenger, charging on the night tariff, etc. If you have to take a taxi, it is usually suggested that you do it from outside the bus terminal. Seating within buses is partly directed by the "koltuk numarası" or seat number on your ticket, partly by the ritualistic seating of women next to women, couples together and so forth. So don't be too annoyed if you are required to give up your seat. In general, as a foreigner, you will have the better seat much of the time. It is often easiest to take a seat in the back, whatever the number of your koltuk, and not be bothered for much of the ride. This is particularly true if you travel alone, and want to keep it that way, even though the last row may be reserved for the driver-off-duty, who wants to sleep. And remember: many buses pick up short-track fare along the ride, and park them in the last two or three rows. The back of the bus may be more noisy than the front, since that is where the engine is located. If you have a bicycle it will be transported free of extra charge. In most buses it fits in the luggage area of the bus. Make sure you have the tools to fold your bike as small as possible (height matters most) '''Fez Bus'''. This is another alternative, a Hop on hop off travel network that links [[Istanbul]] to the most popular tourist destinations in western Turkey, and a few other destinations. The buses runs hostel to hostel and have an English speaking tour leader on board. The pass can be purchased for a few days or all summer. Departures are every other day. More expensive than local buses, but could be far less hassle, and offers a different experience. The main office in Istanbul is in Sultanahmet next to the Orient Youth Hostel on Yeni Akbiyik Cd. [http://www.feztravel.com/] ===By train=== [[File:HT80101.jpg|thumb|300px|The ''yüksek hızlı tren'' speeds across Anatolia]] Mainline train services in Turkey fall into three categories: i) very fast and modern; ii) slow and scenic; and iii) suspended long-term for rebuilding or for other reasons. The train operator is TCDD, Turkish Republic State Railways, visit their [http://www.tcddtasimacilik.gov.tr/ website] for timetables, fares and reservations. The trains are inexpensive, but trains often sell out. See below for how to buy tickets. Most cities in Turkey have a rail connection of some sort, but not the Mediterranean and Aegean holiday resorts, which have been built from the late 20th century and are hemmed in by mountains. ([[Kuşadası]] is the exception, being close to Selçuk on the line between Izmir and [[Pamukkale]].) For some destinations, connecting buses meet the trains, eg at Eskişehir for [[Bursa]], and at Konya for [[Antalya]] and [[Alanya]]. The main cities also have metro and suburban lines, described on those cities’ pages. The very fast, modern trains are called '''YHT: ''yüksek hızlı tren''.''' These serve [[Istanbul]], [[Eskişehir]], [[Ankara]], [[Konya]] and [[Karaman]]. They are clean, comfortable and modern; fares are low and reservations are compulsory. They run on new, dedicated track at up to 300 km/h so they keep to time. Thus, from Istanbul it’s under 5 hours to Ankara (8 per day, standard single about €20), and likewise 5 hours to Konya (3 per day). Because journey times are short, YHT trains only run daytime, and have only snack-catering. On-train announcements in English forbid “smoking, alcohol, smelly food and peanuts.” The smoke-free and alcohol-free rules are enforced, it’s unclear how zealous they are about peanuts. Between the cities, YHTs make a few momentary intermediate stops. The only one likely to be relevant to visitors is Eryaman, as an interchange with the Ankara suburban system. The YHT network is gradually extending: routes under construction are from Ankara towards Kars, from Karaman towards Adana, and from Istanbul towards Edirne. The long-term strategy is to create a high-speed, high-capacity passenger and freight route from Edirne on the western border through to Kars in the east. But where the YHT services terminate, the line closures and disruptions immediately begin, as Turkey’s Ottoman-era railways are upgraded for the 21st century. The main closures (as at 2021) are from Adana east to Gaziantep, and between Izmir and Bandirma (for the Istanbul ferry). '''Conventional trains''' are slow and scenic, with the emphasis on slow: most run overnight, with journeys from Ankara to eastern cities taking 24 hours. They are infrequent, at best daily, sometimes only one or two per week. The typical train set includes a sleeping car (''yataklı vagon''), a couchette car (''kuşetli''), and three open saloons (layout is single row-aisle-double row), plus a buffet that may or may not have any food and may or may not honour your payment card, so plan on bringing cash and your own food. How clean and comfortable the trains are depends on how busy: at quiet times they are fine, but when crowded they soon become filthy. (Always carry your own toilet-roll and hand-wipes.) They are difficult for anyone with impaired mobility to use, and station re-building makes access worse. Nominally these trains are non-smoking, but there’s often a smell of tobacco smoke aboard. They are diesel-hauled and run on single track: on straight level sections they can rattle along at 100 km/h, but in the mountains they plod up steep gradients and round tight bends. So they generally start on time but become delayed along the route — often for several hours on long-haul routes; settle on a relaxed schedule for the successive steps of your trip. '''Tourist trains''' operated by TCDD run several long-distance routes, e.g. Ankara to Kars. These cost about twice the normal fare; they make a few 2-3 hour stops for tourist excursions, so the total running time is a little longer. You're tied to the tourist itinerary without flexibility of stopover. The accommodation is the same as on conventional trains: indeed the rolling stock has been provided by pulling sleeping cars off the conventional trains, so the travel experience on these has been degraded. A private tourist train is '''Cappadocia Express''', expected to launch in 2022: it will run overnight from Istanbul to Kayseri in luxury sleeping cars then bus tourists to Cappadocia National Park. It's aimed at the Japanese market but anyone will be able to book. Details are not yet announced but you can expect a hefty price. '''Buying tickets:''' Reservations are essential for YHT trains and recommended for other mainline services. YHT and standard mainline (''anahat'') trains are best booked via the [https://ebilet.tcddtasimacilik.gov.tr TCDD website]. International trains (''uluslararası'') can be booked by other methods (below) but not via the website; and regional (''bölgesel'') trains are not bookable. TCDD replacement buses are considered trains, and bookable (or not) on the same basis. Consult the timetable first, for the latest on timings and disruptions, but beware that timetable and reservations system sometimes give different days of running for some services, for no discernable reason. The timetable only lists the main stations, where the train waits for about ten minutes, and you'll just have time to dash to the station kiosk and replenish your food supplies. The trains also stop momentarily at many little wayside halts, where sometimes food vendors will hop on. Then to buy your ticket, move to the [https://ebilet.tcddtasimacilik.gov.tr reservation system], but this only opens 15 to 30 days in advance – look further ahead and it will seem like there aren’t any trains. Pick your preferred train service and seat or berth, whereupon the system will display the price and give you the choice of immediate purchase, or of holding the option for a few days. Immediately note your confirmation number, and print your ticket at home whenever convenient: it doesn’t need validating at the station. It’s unclear whether a soft ticket on your phone is acceptable without validation. The '''[[Rail_travel_in_Europe#Inter Rail|Inter Rail Global Pass]]''' and '''[[Rail_travel_in_Europe#Balkan Flexipass|Balkan Flexipass]]''' are valid for all trains within Turkey and the trains to & from Europe, but you may still need a seat reservation. TCDD also offer discounts for those under 26 (''genç bilet'', whether or not you’re a student) and for those over 60 (''yaşlı bilet''). Check their website for other discount offers, but usually these are aimed at commuters and others making multiple repeat journeys. Tickets can also be bought from the stations (either at the counter, or from self-service kiosks), from travel agents, or from PTT post offices. The main stations (including Sirkeci) accept credit cards and can book you onto any bookable train, but they’re unlikely to accept non-Turkish cash. (And nowadays you may struggle to find a money-changer, as they’re replaced by ATMs.) Advance reservations are strongly recommended during summer, on Fridays and Sundays, and around public holidays and religious festivals. Of course you may be able to get a reservation for immediate departure, and the non-YHT trains usually have non-bookable seats, and a scrummage on the platform to claim them. Bear in mind that the main stations may involve a queue for security just to get into the station hall, then another queue for tickets, then a further queue for security and document-check to get onto the platform. You can’t just rock up and jump on. ===By car=== [[File:Fatih_Sultan_Mehmet_Bridge_panorama.jpg|thumb|400px|The Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, a part of the Turkish motorway system, spans over the Bosphorus in [[Istanbul]], and connects Europe and Asia.]] Like all of its neighbours, except [[Cyprus]] off its southern coast, '''driving is on the right side''' of the road in Turkey. Driving in Turkey is usually a '''tense experience'''. The local drivers are often badly trained and sometimes reckless, particularly near and within the larger cities and in the [[Southeastern Anatolia|southeast]]. However, the road manners are not entirely different than in the Balkans or parts of Mediterranean Europe, and are a whole lot easier to negotiate than in, say, [[South Asia]]. Regardless, '''never''' assume the next driver will stick to any rules you would expect, e.g. flash when they are about to change the lane or turn, or give way when they really should. So, always drive defensively. Having received generous funding from the government in the first two decades of the 2000s, most '''highways''' in the country are of '''quite good quality''', often dual carriageways with wide alignments and hard shoulders. Also smaller roads can be expected to be free of pot holes. Hence, driving at night is not an issue like in many eastern European countries where corruption prevents proper road quality. It is illegal to use a '''mobile phone while driving'''. Maximum permitted '''amount of alcohol''' in blood for drivers is 0.05 mg per ml (0.05%), similar to most European countries. A pint of beer enjoyed right before driving might get your licence temporarily confiscated in case of police checks. A 2019 law has made '''smoking inside a car''' by any of the occupants a fineable offence, but enforcement is sporadic. The use of '''seat belts''' both at the front and back line is obligatory, but, although failing to use one carries a penalty, this is not always adhered to by locals, including the drivers themselves. Unless stated otherwise, the '''speed limit''' for automobiles is 50 km/h and 70 km/h on single and dual carriageways, respectively, within inhabited locations, 90 km/h and 110 km/h on single and dual carriageways elsewhere, and 130 km/h on motorways, except O-5, O-6, O-7, O-21 (Ankara–Niğde section), and O-33, where it is 140 km/h. '''Speed traps''', both stationary and mobile concealed within police cars, are common, particularly in the northwest. By law, they are always indicated within the last kilometre or so, but these signs are sometimes tiny and easy to miss. Watch out for speed bumps as they might not always be indicated, especially around cities. Also, pay attention to one way lanes or prohibited road access—Turkey uses '''traffic spikes''' which block a certain direction. It's best to refrain from pulling up in signposted '''no parking zones'''. Not that the fines are very hefty, but towing is possible. In case that happens, expect little official information to whereabouts of your car, and be ready for a lot of searching in dismal parking lots, usually out in the suburbs. Since the refugee crisis started in 2015, and the coup attempt in 2016, any significant Turkish city has '''checkpoints''' on the approaching highways, where cars may be indiscriminately stopped for document checks (IDs, driver licenses, car registration & insurance); these might be accompanied by sobriety checks especially during weekend nights. Getting stopped by law enforcement every so often apparently without any wrongdoing can be off-putting but is the general procedure. Turkish '''road signs''' are almost identical to the ones used in Europe, and differences are often insignificant. The place names written on green background lead to motorways (which you should pay a toll, unless it is a ring road around or within a city); on blue background means other highways; on white background means rural roads (or a road inside a city under the responsibility of city councils); and on brown background indicates the road leads to a place of tourist interest, such as an ancient site (these signs used to be on yellow background previously, so still there is a chance of unreplaced yellow signs existing here and there). These signs are sometimes not standardized. '''Roundabouts''' as understood internationally have started to appear in the latter half of the 2010s or so. As such, most Turkish drivers are yet to have a grasp of how to use them (with the glaring exception of those in [[Muğla]]), despite the (often huge) signs reminding them of the basic "give way to those already within" rule, and act on assumptions on which approach should have priority — ''always'' proceed with caution. Most intercity highways avoid city centres by circling around them. If you'd like to drive into the centre for shopping, dining, and the like, follow the signposts saying ''Şehir Merkezi'', which are usually on white background, and are accompanied by no further translations though you can still spot some old signs saying "Centrum" besides ''Şehir Merkezi''. City centres typically have two or more entrances/exits from the '''ringroads''' that surround them. As Turkey uses the '''[[Metric and Imperial equivalents|metric system]]''', all distances on the signboards are in kilometres, unless otherwise stated (such as metres, but never in miles). [[Winter driving|In winter]], it's not uncommon that many roads, including the major motorways near the sea level, are subject to '''closures due to heavy snow''', which may take hours to clear – or days, particularly in the east. See also the [[#Driving and road safety]] section below. ====Motorways==== [[File:Motorway_Map_of_Turkey_(revised).png|thumb|400px|Map of the Turkish motorways: those marked in red are in use, the others are in construction or planning phases]] There are no fees to use the highways except intercity motorways (''otoyol''). While Turkish highways vary widely in quality and size, the toll motorways mostly have three or four lanes and are very smooth and fast. Motorways are explicitly signed with distinct green signs and given road numbers prefixed with the letter '''O'''. The motorway network consists of the routes stretching out to the west, south and east from [[Istanbul]] (respectively towards [[Edirne]], [[Izmir]] via [[Bursa]], and all the way to [[Urfa]] in [[Southeastern Anatolia]] via [[Ankara]] and [[Adana]]), and an isolated stretch in [[Eastern Thrace]], crossing the Straits of Dardanelles by the Çanakkale 1915 Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in the world, to the east of [[Çanakkale]]. There are also mini-networks connected to the main one in [[Central Aegean]], fanning out of Izmir, and in Eastern [[Mediterranean Turkey|Mediterranean]] around Adana. Most motorways no longer have toll booths (two exceptions are the third bridge crossing the Bosphorus north of Istanbul and the bridge and motorway across the Gulf of İzmit to the direction of Bursa and Izmir, where you can still pay in cash) and instead have lanes automatically scanning the windowpane for the RFID stickers (''HGS'') while accessing and again exiting the motorway. They are easy to use and allow you to install as much liras as you need. To buy an HGS sticker, look for the service buildings at the major toll stations. They are also available in postoffices. ''KGS'' and ''OGS'', systems respectively using prepaid cards and tags, have been phased out. In addition to the distance driven, motorway fees also depend on the type of your vehicle. Edirne&ndash;Istanbul motorway&mdash;about 225&nbsp;km and the main entry point to Istanbul from [[Europe]]&mdash;costs 23.25 TL for a car (2022), for example. The newest additions to the network, such as the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge and the Osman Gazi Bridge (crossing the Bosphorus and the Gulf of İzmit, respectively) tend to be much more expensive per km. Check the up-to-date rates from the [https://www.kgm.gov.tr/Sayfalar/KGM/SiteEng/Root/Tolls.aspx website] of the General Directorate of Highways. ====Fuel and charging ==== [[File:Giresun - Şebinkarahisar Yolu.JPG|thumb|300px|You are better off keeping your tank full if you are driving on a road like this one, heading south towards [[Eastern Anatolia]] from [[Giresun]]]] Long among the countries with the most expensive fuel prices, the sharp drop of Turkish lira in late 2021 means fossil fuel in Turkey, hovering around 23 TL (about €1.26 or US$ 1.28) per litre as of late Jul 2022, is relatively cheaper now. LPG is even somewhat less damaging to your wallet. Petrol stations (''benzin istasyonu'') are frequent along the highways; most are open round the clock and accept credit cards (swipe machines are always in the service building, so you will have to get out of the car if that's the preferred payment method). Self-service is practically nonexistent. Almost all stations offer unleaded gasoline (''kurşunsuz benzin''), diesel (''dizel'' or ''motorin''), and LPG (liquid petroleum gas, ''LPG'' or ''otogaz''). However the rare fuel stations in remote villages often only have diesel, which is used for running agricultural machinery. So keep your gas tank topped up if you are going to stray away from the main roads. Also the petrol stations along the toll motorways are rarer than the other highways, usually only about every 40-50km or even further apart at places (the distance to the next station is usually indicated at the associated signage), so don't get too low on these roads either. Biofuels are very hard to come by for the casual driver. As of 2022 there are few electric vehicle charging stations, although covering the main intercity routes without running out of range, especially if you don't stray too far into the east, seems possible. [https://esarj.com/en/ Eşarj], [https://zes.net/en ZES], [https://www.voltrun.com/en/ Voltrun], and [http://www.dmaoto.com/en/ DMA] maintain relatively wide networks of charging stations; see their websites for the associated maps. Fuel stations will have free toilets and sometimes free çay. ====Repair shops==== In all cities and towns, there are repair shops, usually clustered together in complexes devoted to auto-repairing (rather incorrectly called ''sanayi sitesi'' or ''oto sanayi sitesi'' in Turkish, which means "industrial zone" and "auto-industrial zone" respectively), which are in the outskirts of the cities. The shops are specialized in parts of the vehicle (e.g., engine, electrical system or bodywork) and the level of skill in solving the problem varies, but the service is often quick. In cities and major towns, there are also big 3S businesses (sales, service, spare parts). These are more corporate than ''sanayi sitesi'' and are called ''oto plaza'', but may entail getting lined up in a queue, which may take days to process. ====Renting a car==== You may rent a car to get around Turkey from an international or local car rental agent. The main airports all have car rental desks. It is a good idea to rent a car locally to explore the region for a couple of days. However, doing all the kilometers of Turkey in a rental, can be exhausting and also expensive if you rent at one place and give it back at another one. Instead of wasting money on the common big car rental companies, '''local rental companies''' can be trusted and found through Google Maps. Contact them via WhatsApp. They will speak sufficient English to get the deal done. It is important to rely on their online rating and reviews (at Google Maps) to make sure to avoid the bad sheep, they will not want to jeopardise a good rating. Sometimes they will not even demand a deposit for their rental. However, make sure to understand whether the is a mileage limit, cleaning necessity or restriction on any roads. Contracts will usually be in Turkish with local companies. ===By dolmuş/minibus=== The ''minibüs'' is a small bus (sometimes a car) that will ride near-fixed routes. The ride may be from the periphery of a major city to the centre or within a city, but may also take three to four hours from one city to the next, when demand along the route is not sufficient to justify large buses. They sometimes make a detour to bring some old folks home or collect some extra heavy luggage. All during the journey people will get in and out (shout ''inecek var'' — “someone to get off” — to have it stop if you’re in). The driver tends to be named ''kaptan'' ("captain"), and some behave accordingly. The fare is collected all through the ride. In some, by a specially appointed passenger who will get a reduction, in others by a steward, who may get off halfway down the journey to pick up a dolmuş of the same company heading back, but mostly by the driver. If the driver collects, people hand money on from the back rows to the front, getting change back by the same route. On some stretches tickets are sold in advance, and things can get complicated if some of the passengers bought a ticket and others just sat inside waiting, for maybe half an hour, but without a ticket. The concept of ''dolmuş'' in Istanbul is different than the rest of Turkey. The vehicles are different and they take a maximum of 7 sitting passengers, with no standing. They do not tend to take passengers along the way, they depart immediately when they are full, and many of them operate 24 hours a day. The name derives from ''dolmak'', the verb for “to fill”, as they usually depart only when they are full, though they sometimes start at fixed hours, whatever the number. ===By boat=== [[File:Canakkale ferry.JPG|thumb|300px|Car ferry crossing the Straits of Dardanelles between [[Çanakkale]] and [[Eceabat]]]] '''Fast ferries''' (''hızlı feribot'') are fast (50-60km/hour) catamaran-type ferryboats that connect for instance [[Istanbul]] to the other side of the Marmara Sea. They can cut travel time dramatically. Again for instance leaving from the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Yenikapı]] jetty in Istanbul (just a bit southwest of the Blue Mosque) you can be at the [[Bursa]] ''otogar'' in two hours, with less than an hour for the actual boat ride to [[Yalova]]. Similar services are operated to connect several parts of Istanbul with the Asian side, or places farther up the Bosporus. This type of fast ferry is increasingly seen all over the country wherever there is sufficient water. All inhabited Turkish islands have at least one daily sailing to the nearest mainland city or town during summer. During winter, expect less frequent departures, and disruptions in the schedule, due to the bad weather. Perhaps one of the best cruising grounds in the world, Turkey offers thousands of years of history, culture and civilization set against a stunning mountainous backdrop. The coastline is a mixture of wide gulfs, peaceful coves, shady beaches, uninhabited islands, small villages and bustling towns. Many of these locations are still only accessible by boat. Rare in the Mediterranean, one can still find some seclusion on a private charter in Turkey. Turkey has more coastline than any other Mediterranean country. The best way to see Turkey is from your own private yacht on your own schedule. Turkey offers some of the most exquisite yachts in the world, known as gulets. ===By bicycle=== Simply put, long distance [[cycling]] in Turkey is burdensome, mainly for two reasons: most of the country's terrain is hilly, and intercity bike paths are basically non-existent, albeit with some noteworthy exceptions (such as a section of [[EuroVelo cycling routes|EuroVelo 8]] across [[Central Aegean|Izmir Province]] or the lane down from [[Iskenderun#Arsuz|Arsuz]] towards the Syrian border). That being said, many cities nowadays have cycling lanes of varying shapes, lengths and interconnectedness (often along the esplanades of the coastal cities; these were mostly built with the purpose of a leisurely ride in mind than serious transportation) and most highways built after the turn of this century or so have quite wide and well surfaced shoulders, which can double as bicycle lanes. Even so, if you have already decided to give cycling a try in your Turkey trip, always stay as much on the right side of the roads as possible, avoid night cycling out of cities or along unlit roads, do not be surprised by drivers hooting at you, and do not go on the motorway, as it is forbidden. You could better prefer rural roads with much less traffic density, but then there is the problem of freely roaming sheepdogs, which can sometimes be [[Aggressive dogs|quite dangerous]]. The signage on the rural roads is also much more erratic, turning them into a labyrinth, in which it is easy to get lost even for non-local Turkish people without a detailed map. Air can be pumped into tyres at any petrol station without charge. Bicycle repair-shops are rare in cities and often in hard-to-locate places; motorcycle repair shops can be tried alternatively (however, they are very reluctant to repair a bicycle if they are already busy with their specialization). Many towns operate bike sharing programs, but they might be hard to use without Turkish language skills, or without a Turkish mobile number. Cycling in the areas where the motorized vehicles are restricted is enjoyable, but these areas are limited in number: Istanbul's [[Istanbul/Princes' Islands|Princes' Islands]] are a prime example. Ebikes with removable batteries are manufactured and sold at reasonable prices, but check first with your airline if you plan to fly with it. As elsewhere, ebikes with non-removable batteries are strictly forbidden on all flights. ===By thumb=== "Thumb up" is the [[hitchhiking]] gesture universally understood by the Turkish drivers. Avoid using any other signal which might be understood to be indicating a danger ahead. In addition to the thumb, having a signboard with the destination name certainly helps. Waiting for a ride generally doesn't exceed half an hour, though this dramatically varies depending on the density of traffic (like elsewhere) and the region; for example, it usually takes much longer to attract a ride in [[Mediterranean Turkey]] than in the [[Marmara_(region)|Marmara Region]]. The best hitchhiking spots are the crossroads with traffic lights, where bypass roads around a city and the road coming from the center intersect. Don’t be so away from the traffic lights so drivers would be slow enough to see you, make up their minds and stop, but be sufficiently away for traffic safety. Hitchhiking along the motorways is useless; no one will be slow enough to stop, and the pedestrians are forbidden anyway. Don’t start to hitchhike until you are well clear out of the city traffic which has the tendency to spread over the suburbs, and if not in hurry, avoid hitchhiking after nightfall, especially if you are a lone female traveler. Although most drivers have little if any intentions beyond to have a word or two during their long, alone journey, always watch out and avoid sleeping. On some occasions, you may not be able to attract a ride directly to your destination, so don’t refuse anyone offering a ride, which may come across as impolite, unless they are going down only a few kilometres away and are branching off into a road different from your destination in a coming fork. You may have to change several cars even on a route barely 100 km long, in each town after town. However, because of the enormous numbers of trucks carrying goods for the foreign markets, you may also score surprisingly long-haul trips. Some drivers may ask for money (“fee”) from you. Refuse and tell them that if you had money to waste, you would be on a bus, and not standing on the side of the road fully exposed to the elements. Drivers staying in the area may point downwards (to the road surface) or towards the direction they’re driving or flash their headlights while passing, indicating that they wouldn't make a good long-haul ride. Smile and/or wave your hand to return the courtesy. ===On foot=== Trail blazing is on the rise in Turkey lately and nowadays all Turkish regions have waymarked '''[[hiking]] trails''' of various lengths and shapes. Most of them follow a theme, such as connecting to the sites of an ancient civilization, retracing the footsteps of a historical figure or chasing the treats of a specific regional cuisine. The oldest, and the most popular trail is the [[Lycian Way]], which snakes its way over the mountains backing the [[Lycia|Turquoise Coast]] in the southwest. The [http://cultureroutesinturkey.com/ website of the Culture Routes Society] maintains an up-to-date list of the major hiking trails in the country. Guided tours along some of these trails, often involving hiking the most scenic sections and homestays in the villages, are offered by local travel agencies as well as those based in major cities. Inside the cities, there are white-, or rarely yellow-painted '''pedestrian crossings''' (zebra crossing) on the main streets, which are legally pedestrian-priority spots. However, for many drivers, they are little more than ornamental drawings on the road surface, so it is better to cross the streets at the traffic lights. Still, be sure all the cars stopped, because it is not unusual to see the drivers running the first few seconds of the red light. As a safer option, on wide avenues, there are also pedestrian overpasses and underground passages available. In narrow streets during the rush hour, you can cross the street anywhere and anytime, since the traffic moves only intermittently. Also along alleys in the old districts, you need not to worry about keeping on the sidewalk (which is usually too narrow and uneven to be of use anyway); you can walk well in the middle of the street, only to step aside when a car is coming. ==Talk== {{seealso|Turkish phrasebook}} The sole official language of Turkey is [[Turkish phrasebook|Turkish]]. Turkish is a Turkic language and its closest living relatives are other Turkic languages, which are spoken in southwestern, central and northern Asia, and to a lesser degree by significant communities in Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Turkish is an agglutinative language (forming words by adding suffixes to the roots), and the native speakers of the non-agglutinative ones, such as those in the Indo-European family, generally find it difficult to learn. For many centuries, Turkish was written in the Arabic script, evident in many historical texts and documents, but it has been written in the Latin alphabet since 1928. This means that Turkish is now written using the same letters as English, albeit with the addition of Çç, Ğğ, Iı, İi, Öö, Şş and Üü and the exclusions of Qq, Ww and Xx. [[Kurdish phrasebook|Kurdish]] is also spoken by an estimated 7-10% of the population, particularly in the southeast and the east. Language policy towards Kurdish has varied from brutal suppression to ignoration to government-funded broadcasts, and speaking Kurdish can be seen as a political statement. Several other languages exist, like Laz in the northeast (also spoken in adjacent Georgia), and in general people living near borders will often speak the language of the other side too. For example, people in the southeast, bordering Syria, often speak Arabic. Thanks to migration, even in rural areas most villages will have at least one person who has worked in Germany and can thus speak [[German phrasebook|German]]. The same goes for other Western European languages like Dutch/Flemish or French. Several waves of immigration from the [[Balkans]] mean there is also the possibility of coming across native Serbo-Croatian, Bulgarian, and Albanian speakers mainly in western Turkey. English is also increasingly popular among the younger generation. The "universities" that train pupils for a job in tourism pour out thousands of youngsters who want to practice their knowledge on the tourist, with varying degrees of fluency. Language universities produce students that nowadays are pretty good at their chosen language. ==See== {{seealso|Turkish TV series tourism}} As a general rule, most museums and sites of ancient cities in Turkey are '''closed on Mondays''' (even Hagia Sophia). The Turkish government offers a '''[https://muze.gov.tr museum pass]''' for many sights and museums in Turkey for 375 TL. Check out what is included, and buy it if it makes sense for you. Numerous sights can still be seen for free though. ===Ancient ruins and architectural heritage=== [[Image:Göbekli Tepe, Urfa.jpg|thumb|Turkey’s famous Göbekli Tepe.]] At the crossroads of civilizations, all parts of Turkey are full of a mindblowing number of ancient '''ruins'''. Although [[Çatalhöyük]] and [[Urfa|Göbekli Tepe]], respectively '''the earliest settlement''' and '''the earliest temple''' ever found to the date in Turkey precede them, the '''[[Hittites]]''' were the first indigenous people that rose to found a state in Anatolia. They left the proof of their existence at the ruins of [[Bogazkale|Hattuşaş]], their capital. The Hittites spoke an Indoeuropean language (the oldest one attested in writing) and were contemporaries of the "New Kingdom" of [[Ancient Egypt]], engaged in extensive correspondence and diplomacy with the eastern Mediterranean world. The '''[[Ancient Greece|ancient Greeks]]''' and the following '''[[Roman Empire|Romans]]''' left their mark mostly in the [[Aegean Turkey|Aegean]] and [[Mediterranean Turkey|Mediterranean Regions]], leaving behind the marble ruins of hundreds of '''cities, temples, and monuments'''. Some such as '''[[Ephesus]]''' and many others along the Aegean are largely restored to their former glory — many of these are on the checklist of most travellers to Turkey. Some more obscure ones off the beaten path such as [[Aphrodisias]] and [[Çavdarhisar|Aizanoi]] are also well worth visiting. In the meantime, some other indigenous peoples, such as the '''Lycians''', were carving beautiful '''tombs''' for their dearly departed ones onto the rocky hillsides. Many are fairly well preserved and can be seen all around [[Lycia]]. Legendary '''[[Troy (Turkey)|Troy]]''' stands out as an example of different civilizations literally living on the top of each other. While what is visible today is clearly Hellenistic, the place has its roots as Hittite ''Wilusa'', and later re-built many times over by the ancient Greeks. Perhaps the most unique "architectural" heritage in the country, some of the [[Cappadocia]]n '''cave houses and churches''' carved into "fairy chimneys" and '''underground cities''' (in a literal sense!) date back to early [[Christianity|Christians]] hiding from persecution. The successors of the Romans, the '''[[Byzantine Empire|Byzantines]]''' broke new ground with more ambitious projects, culminating in grand '''Hagia Sophia''' of [[Istanbul]], built in 537 and had the distinction of being the largest cathedral in the world for almost a thousand years. While a stray monastery or two dating back to the era can be found in almost any part of the country, most of the Byzantine heritage intact today is found in the [[Marmara (region)|Marmara Region]], especially in Istanbul, and in the area around [[Trabzon]] in the [[Eastern Karadeniz|far northeast]], which was the domain of the Empire of Trebizond, a rump Byzantine state that survived the Fall of Constantinople for about a decade. [[File:Турция, Конья - Холм Алаеддина 03.jpg|thumb|Seljuk ruins protected by a modern roof construction in [[Konya]]]] The '''Seljuks''' found the first Turkish state in Asia Minor and built most of their monuments, which incorporate '''large majestic portals''' and heavily delicate stonework reminiscent of some landmarks in parts of [[Asia]], in the major centres of the time in [[Eastern Anatolia|Eastern]] and [[Central Anatolia]], especially in [[Konya]], their capital. The '''[[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]]''', who had considered themselves as a Balkan state until their demise, built most of their landmarks in the [[Balkans]] and that region's extension within present-day Turkey, the [[Marmara (region)|Marmara Region]], just like the Byzantines, whom the Ottomans inspired to in so many ways. Most of the '''earlier Ottoman monuments''' were built in [[Bursa]], which have little Byzantine and comperatively large Seljuk influences. Later, the dynasty moved over to Europe — the major landmarks in [[Edirne]] exhibit some kind of "transitional" and fairly experimental style. However, it wasn't until the Fall of [[Istanbul|Constantinople]] that the Ottomans adopted Byzantine architecture almost full scale with some adjustments. Contrary to what may be assumed, though, the Ottoman imperial architecture possibly reached its zenith not in Istanbul, but in Edirne—in the form of '''Selimiye Mosque''', a work of '''[[Architecture#Mimar Sinan|Sinan]]''', the great Ottoman architect of the 16th century. The '''19th century''' brought back the Greek and Roman taste of architectural styles, so there was a huge explosion of '''neo-classical architecture''', as much fashionable in Turkey as in the much of the rest of the world at that time. The [[Istanbul/Galata|Galata]] side of Istanbul, [[Izmir]] (though unfortunately most of which was lost to the big fire of 1922), and numerous towns along the coasts, one most prominent and well preserved example being [[Ayvalık]], quickly filled with elegant neo-classical buildings. At the same time, people in the inland locations were favouring pleasant, more traditional, and less pretentious '''half-timbered whitewashed houses''', which form picturesque towns such as [[Safranbolu]], [[Ankara#Beypazarı|Beypazarı]], and [[Şirince]] in the northern, central, and western part of the country respectively. It was also this time beautiful and impressive '''wooden mansions''' of Istanbul's [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|seaside neighbourhoods]] and [[Istanbul/Princes' Islands|islands]] were built. Other contemporary trends of the epoch, such as '''Baroque''' and '''Rococo''', didn't make much inroads in Turkey, although there were some experiments of combining them into Islamic architecture, as can be seen at Ortaköy Mosque on the banks of the [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Bosphorus]] along with some others. As the landscapes change the further east you go, so does the architectural heritage. The remote valleys and hilltops of [[Eastern Karadeniz]] and [[Eastern Anatolia]] are dotted with numerous '''medieval Georgian and Armenian churches and castles'''—some of which are nicely well preserved but not all were that lucky. The Armenian cathedral on [[Van|Akdamar Island]] of Lake Van and medieval [[Ani]] are two that lay somewhere on the midway between perfectly preserved and undergone total destruction, but both are absolutely must-sees if you've made your way to the east. For a change, [[Southeastern Anatolia]] features more '''[[Middle East]]-influenced architecture''', with '''arched courtyards''' and heavy usage of '''yellow stones with highly exquisite masonry'''. It's best seen in [[Urfa]], and especially in [[Mardin]] and nearby [[Midyat]]. Being on the crossroads of civilizations more often than not also means being their battleground. So it's no wonder why so many '''castles and citadels''' dot the landscape, both in towns and the countryside, coastal or inland. Most of the castles built throughout history are today the main attractions of the towns they are in. The '''20th century''' wasn't kind on Turkish cities. Due to the pressure caused by the high rates of rural to urban immigration, many historical neighbourhoods in the cities were knocked down in favour of soulless (and usually, drab ugly) apartment blocks, and the outskirts of the major cities transformed to shantytowns. Examples of '''modern architecture''' that could be considered a gem is rather few in Turkey. '''Steel-and-glass skyscrapers''', on the other hand, now steadily rise higher and higher in the major cities, one place where they form a distinctive skyline being the [[Istanbul/New City|business district]] of Istanbul, although hardly impressive or unique compared with the traditional skyline of [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Istanbul's Old City]]. ===Itineraries=== * [[Along the Troad Coast]] — ancient legends intertwine with beautiful landscapes and the deep blue Aegean Sea * [[Istanbul to Izmir]] — different options to travel between two of Turkey's major cities * [[Lycian Way]] — walk along the remotest section of the country's Mediterranean coast, past ancient cities, forgotten hamlets, and balmy pine forests ==Do== * '''Beaches''' line the entire Mediterranean coast, but those with well-developed resorts are between [[Alanya]] to the east and [[Kuşadası]] on the Aegean coast to the west. There are scores more small places that only locals head for, such as the [[Keşan|Gulf of Saros]], handy for Istanbul. The Marmara and Black Sea beaches are not worth seeking out. * '''Nargile''' (hooka or water pipe) &ndash; Once upon a time, the nargile, or Turkish water pipe, was the centre of Istanbul’s social and political life. Today some of the locals still consider it one of life’s great pleasures and is something interesting to try. * '''Hamam''' &ndash; A visit to a ''hamam'' or Turkish bath is an essential part of any trip to Turkey and is something you'll be sure to repeat before leaving. There is at least one historical ''hamam'' in each neighborhood of Istanbul and other large cities. Take care in selecting a hamam, as they can vary greatly in cleanliness. Most places will offer a scrubbing and/or a massage. Just being in the ''Hamam'' (as a sauna), is enough for seeing and experiencing the place, but the scrubbing is a great experience. The massage is not necessarily better than those found in western countries. Many hamams cater for tourists nowadays and are widely overpriced, mind them. A traditional and authentic hamam does not have to be expensive and certainly you would not pay in euros there. * '''Winter sports''' &ndash; Not what you might expect here, but the mountainous interior of Turkey has bitter-cold winters with reliable snow cover. Some popular resorts in the northwest are [[Uludağ]] near [[Bursa]], Kartepe near [[Izmit]], Kartalkaya near [[Bolu]] and [[Ilgaz National Park|Ilgaz]] near [[Kastamonu]]; in the northeast are Palandöken near [[Erzurum]] and Sarıkamış near [[Kars]]; and central is Erciyes near [[Kayseri]]. At Saklıkent near [[Antalya]] you're supposed to be able to ski in the morning then reach the Med for a swim in the afternoon, but its snow cover is brief and unreliable. * '''Watch football''' &ndash; Süper Lig is soccer's top tier in Turkey, with 16 teams playing August to May. Istanbul has six teams at this level and Ankara has two. The national team usually play home games at Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul. * '''Cycling''' &ndash; The premier race is the [https://www.tourofturkey.org.tr/ President's Tour of Turkey], held over a week in April. ==Buy== ===Money=== <!--When updating this chart, please also update the chart for Northern Cyprus, which also uses the TL.

Wikivoyage articles will use ''TL'' to denote the currency. The lira is divided into 100 kuruş (abbreviated kr). In 2005, Turkey dropped six zeroes from its currency, thus making each post-2005 lira worth one million pre-2005 lira (or so called "old lira"). Don't be confused if you see the currency symbolised YTL or ytl, standing for ''yeni lira''). Pre-2009 banknotes and coins (those bearing ''yeni lira'' and ''yeni kuruş'') are '''not''' legal tender, and can no longer be exchanged at banks. The new Turkish lira symbol, [[File:Turkish_lira_symbol_black.svg|10px|title=Turkish Lira Sign]], was created by the Central Bank in 2012 after a country-wide contest. Banknotes are in 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 TL denominations. Coins of 5, 10, 25 and 50 kuruş are legal tender. There's also a 1 TL coin. ====Currency exchange==== There are legal exchange offices in all cities and almost any town. Banks also exchange money, but they are not worth the hassle as they are usually crowded and do not give better rates than exchange offices. It can seem that Turkey has more currency exchange offices per-capita than anywhere else in the world, leading to fierce competition for exchange rates. This is due to uncertainty in the value of the Turkish lira, which results in residents regularly exchanging Turkish lira into more stable stores of values such as US Dollars and Euros. You can see the rates an office offers on the (usually electronic) boards located somewhere near its gate. To get the best rate, look for shops with the smallest difference between their buy and sell rates for a given currency pair (buy-sell spread). Euros and US dollars are the most useful currencies, with often less than a 1% buy-sell spread. But pounds sterling (good luck with getting any non-Bank of England notes deemed higher value than Monopoly money), Canadian dollars, Swiss francs, Japanese yen, Saudi riyals, and a number of other currencies are also not very hard to exchange for a good rate. Currency exchange offices typically do not charge a commission (unlike ATMs with Dynamic Currency Conversion services), with the notable exception of offices in airports. It is important to remember that most exchangers accept only banknotes, it can be very hard to exchange foreign coins. In some places, where there is a meaningful explanation for it, more uncommon currencies may also be exchanged, e.g. Australian dollars in [[Çanakkale]] where the annual Anzac WWI commemorations take place. As a general rule, if a place attracts many visitors from a country, then it is usually possible to exchange that country’s currency there. Tourism-oriented industries in tourism-oriented towns, as well as shops where big amounts of money change hands, like supermarkets, in most parts of the country, generally accept foreign currency (usually limited to Euro and American dollars only), but the rates they accept the currency are usually worse than those of exchange offices. Ask if they accept foreign currency. ====Credit cards==== Visa and MasterCard are widely accepted, American Express much less so. Most credit card users have to enter their PIN codes when using their cards if above a certain amount (250 TL). Older, magnetic card holders are excepted from this, but remember that, unlike some other places in Europe, salespeople haves the legal right to ask you to show a valid ID with a photo on to recognize that you are the owner of the card. ====ATMs==== Cash machines are scattered throughout the cities, concentrated in central parts. It is possible to draw Turkish lira (and sometimes US dollars or/and euros) from these ATMs with your foreign Visa, Mastercard or Maestro card (not necessarily a credit card). Any major town has at least one ATM. ATMs ask whether to provide instructions in English or in Turkish (and sometimes some other languages, too) as soon as you insert a foreign card (or a Turkish card which is not the operating bank’s own). In Turkey, two types of ATMs exist: dynamic currency conversion (DCC ATMs) advertising that they offer multiple currencies, and regular ATMs without DCC (only offering Turkish Lira and generally located next to a bank branch). DCC ATMs will charge extortionate currency exchange rates (markups of 5-10% or an excessive ATM fee) that are generally impossible to decline. Whenever possible, you should only use a regular ATM without DCC, as they will usually default back to your bank's currency conversion rate and markup (which is virtually always more favourable) and in many cases, will not even incur an ATM use surcharge. If a screen pops up offering you a currency conversion rate/markup, decline it. In central locations, you may encounter standalone buildings housing many ATMs, marketing themselves (using a logo) as being DCC ATMs or offering euros. These ATMs offer a [[Money#Dynamic_currency_conversion|direct currency conversion (DCC)]] into your home currency (€, US$, etc.), so you will then be charged in your home currency and not in Turkish Lira. This is best to avoid since the rates offered are considerably far worse than what your bank would charge you for the Turkish Lira you're about to withdraw. Wherever possible, you should use ATMs connected to bank branches that do not have a DCC logo, as these often do not charge commission or force DCC. Non-DCC ATMs for some banks may not even charge an ATM fee. Specific costs for ATM withdrawals depend on your foreign bank, but many ATMs in Turkey add a commission / fee on-top of the dispensed amount (even for US dollar and euro withdrawals), which is then together charged to you bank. In the following an overview of banks and charges: * Ziraat, HSBC: '''no ATM fee''' (as of 2021) * Halkbank: '''no ATM fee''' nor DCC offered * odeabank: '''no ATM fee''' nor DCC offered * Sekerbank: '''no ATM fee''' * TEB: 2.1% * Türkiye Bankasi: 2.9% * DenizBank and VakifBank: 3% * Garanti BBVA: 5% (as of 2021) * AKBank: 7.95% * QNB: US$5 ===Shopping=== '''Beware''': Always ask for the price ahead if it is not displayed anywhere, even if it is just for a ''çay''. It is an extremely common practice to overcharge tourists, oftentimes 5 to 10 times the price. Furthermore, it seems a common scheme to give the wrong change, especially to the absent-minded tourist. So, always have in mind what you are supposed to receive as change and double-check immediately. Besides that never hand over a large note just like that; sometimes the change is then given on a supposedly obtained smaller note and the merchant will insist on having just received a small note. Paying by credit card will not render you immune to short-change scams, as some vendors are often set up to charge in Euros and US Dollars in addition to Turkish liras, and some vendors will go as far as to charge you the price quoted in a different currency (i.e. by entering 100 EUR rather than 100 TL into the credit card terminal). Do your best to only use large banknotes at established, reputable businesses, and to pay in near-exact change where possible. Apart from classical tourist souvenirs like postcards and trinkets, here are a few of what you can bring back home from Turkey. *'''Leather clothing''' — Turkey is the biggest leather producer in the world, so the leather clothing is cheaper than elsewhere. Many shops in Laleli, Beyazıt, Mahmutpaşa districts of Istanbul (all around the tram line which goes through Sultanahmet Square) are specialized on leather. [[File:In Turkish carpet factory.jpg|thumb|Carpet manufacturing]] *'''Carpets and kilims''' — Many regions in Turkey produce handmade kilims and carpets. Though the symbols and figures differentiate depending on the region in which the carpet is produced, they are generally symbolic expressions based on ancient Anatolian religions and/or nomadic Turkic life which takes shape around shamanic beliefs more than 1,000 years ago. You can find shops specialized on handmade carpets and kilims in any major city, tourist spot and Sultanahmet Area. :You seriously cannot go anywhere in Turkey without someone trying to sell you a carpet. People will approach you on the street, engage in a little friendly conversation about where you're from, how do you like Turkey, and "would you like to come with me to my uncle's shop? It's just around the corner, and has the best authentic kilims." It can be irritating if you let it get to you, but remember that a large part of these people's economy comes from tourist's wallets so you can't blame them for trying. *'''Silk''' — Dresses and scarves. Although can be found in many parts of the country, silk fans should head for [[Bursa]] and before that, pick up basics of [[bargaining]]. *'''Earthenware''' — Handmade [[Cappadocia]]n pottery (amphoras, old-style plates, flowerpots etc.) are made of local salty clay. Salt content of clay, thanks to salt spray produced by the Salt Lake –which is the second largest lake in Turkey- in the heartland of Central Anatolia, is what makes local earthenware top quality. In some Cappadocian towns, it is possible to see how these artifacts are produced, or even to experience producing one, at the dedicated workshops. Tiles with classical Ottoman motives that are produced in [[Kütahya]] are also famous. *'''Turkish delight''' and '''Turkish coffee''' — If you like these during your Turkey trip, don’t forget to take a few packages back home. Available everywhere. A 454 gram box of standard Turkish delights costs 50 TL, while Turkish delights from premium brands (e.g. Hafız Mustafa 1864) go for around 400 TL/kg. Turkish coffee is best purchased from a local grocery store with listed prices; grocery stores and tourist-oriented stores generally use the same suppliers, but the latter charges a significant mark-up for the boutique experience and nicer packaging. *'''Honey''' — The pine honey (''çam balı'') of [[Marmaris]] is famous and has a much stronger taste and consistency than regular flower honeys. Although not easily available, if you can get your hands on it, don't miss the honey of Macahel valley, made out of flowers of a temperate rainforest almost completely out of human impact in the [[Eastern Karadeniz|far northeastern Black Sea Region]]. Nearby Anzer in the highlands is also famous for its honey, perhaps easier to obtain. The same region also features ''deli bal'' ("mad honey"), from the toxic rhododendron flowers, with hallucinogenic effects — overindulging in it may cause serious health complications. :Check your country's import regulations for agricultural products if you intend to take any amount of Turkish honey home. *'''Chestnut dessert''' — Made out of syrup and chestnuts grown on the foothills of Mt. [[Uludağ]], chestnut dessert (''kestane şekeri'') is a famous and tasty product of [[Bursa]]. There are many variations, such as chocolate coated ones. Chestnut dessert can be found in elsewhere, too, but relatively more expensive and in smaller packages. *'''Meerschaum souvenirs''' — Despite its name meaning “sea foam” which it resembles, meerschaum (''lületaşı'') is extracted only in one place in the world: landlocked [[Eskişehir]] province in the extreme northwest part of Central Anatolia Region. This rock, similar to gypsum at sight, is carved into smoking pipes and cigarette holders. It has a soft and creamy texture and makes for a great decorative item. Available at some shops in Eskişehir. *'''Castile (olive oil) soap''' — Natural, a silky touch on your skin, and a warm Mediterranean atmosphere in your bathroom. Absolutely cheaper than those to be found in Northern and Western Europe. Street markets in the [[Aegean_Turkey|Aegean Region]] and southern [[Marmara_(region)|Marmara Region]] is full of olive oil soap, almost all of which are handmade. Even some old folk in the Aegean Region is producing their castile soaps in the traditional way: during or just after the olive harvest, neighbours gather in yards around large boilers heated by wood fire, then lye derived from the wood ash is added to hot water and olive oil mix. Outside of the Aegean region, note that many tourist/souvenir shops are selling the same Olive oil soap bars found in supermarkets (especially in Istanbul), except taken out of their original packaging and repackaged more nicely. In cities out of the Aegean Region, natural olive oil soap can be found in shops specialized in olive and olive oil. Some of these shops are even offering ecological soaps: made of organic olive oil and sometimes with additions of organic essential oils. [[File:Evil Eye Decorations.jpg|thumb|The evil eye will watch over you at every corner in Turkey, and why not elsewhere, too?]] * '''Other soaps''' unique to Turkey are: laurel soaps (''defne sabunu'') which is produced mainly in [[Antakya]] (Antioch), soaps of [[Isparta]] enriched with rose oil which is produced abundantly in the area around Isparta, and ''bıttım sabunu'', a soap made out of the oil of seeds of a local variety of pistachio tree native to the mountains of [[Southeastern Anatolia|Southeastern Region]]. In [[Edirne]], soaps shaped as various fruits are produced. Not used for their lather, rather they make a good assortment when different “fruits” are placed in a basket on a table, they fill the air with their sweet scent as well. *'''Olive-based products apart from soap''' — Other olive-based products to give a try are olive oil shampoos, olive oil based eau de colognes and ''zeyşe'', abbreviation from the first syllables of ''zeytin şekeri'', a dessert similar to chestnut desserts, but made from olives. *And, of course, the ubiquitous '''evil eye''' (''nazar boncuğu'') — what else? ====Bargaining==== [[File:Aynali-carsi.jpg|thumb|At the Aynalı Çarşı bazaar in [[Çanakkale]]]] In Turkey, [[bargaining]] is a must — particularly in souvenir shops in touristy areas and carpet shops everywhere, where the customer is ''expected'' to bargain and therefore the initial price offer is often inflated. You can even try your hand for accommodation, particularly during off-season. During bargaining, don’t look so impressed and interested, and be patient. Since foreigners (especially Western people) aren’t expected to be good at bargaining, sellers are quick to supposedly reject any bargaining attempt, but be patient and wait, the price will fall! The mutually agreed price may be only valid for cash transactions, though, so for card payments it makes sense to let the shopkeeper know somewhere down the line what your preferred payment would be. ====VAT refund==== You can get a VAT refund if you are not a citizen or permanent resident of Turkey. Look for the blue “Tax-Free” sticker on the windowpane or entrance of the shops, these kind of shops are the only places you can get a VAT refund. Don’t forget to take the necessary papers from the shop that will enable you for a VAT reclaim when leaving Turkey. VAT Refund rates are 18% for purchases of Accessories, electronics, watches, sunglasses, cosmetics, porcelain/ceramics and homeware (over 118 TL), and 8% for Textiles and clothes, leather goods, carpets, shoes, bags, optics, books and food (over 108 TL). Although Turkey is in a customs union with the European Union for non-agricultural goods, there is not an initiative to abolish duty-free shops in the airports and border crossings unlike in the EU. ====Antique souvenirs==== Taking any antique (defined as something more than 100 years old) out of Turkey is subject to heavy restrictions or, in many cases, forbidden. If someone offers to sell you an antique, either you are in for a scam and offered an overpriced imitation or about to be a party to organized crime if you decide to purchase. ===Tipping=== In general, tipping is not considered obligatory. However, it is very common to leave a 5% to 10% tip in restaurants if you're satisfied with the service. At high-end restaurants a tip of 10-15% is customary. It is NOT possible to add tip to the credit card bill. It is very common amongst Turkish people to pay the bill with a credit card and leave the tip in cash or coins. Most waiters will bring your cash back in coins as much as possible, that's because Turkish people don't like to carry coins around and usually leave them at the table. Taxi drivers do not expect tips, but it is common practice to let them keep the change. If you insist on taking exact change back, ask for ''para üstü?'' (pronounced “pah-rah oos-too”, which means “change”). Driver will be reluctant to give it at first, but you will eventually succeed. If you are fortunate enough to try out a Turkish bath, it is customary to tip 15% of the total and split it up among all of the attendants. This is an important thing to keep in mind when tipping in Turkey, and will ensure your experience goes smoothly and is enjoyable. Supermarket cashiers usually round up the total sum to the next 5 kuruş if you pay in cash (the exact sum is extracted when paid by a credit card though). This is not a kind of involuntary tip, as the 2-3-4 kuruşes don’t go into their pockets. It is simply because they are not adequately supplied with enough 1 kuruş coins as it is very rare in circulation. So don’t be surprised if the change given to you is short of a few kuruşes from what should be given to you according to what the electronic board of the till says. It is totally okay to pay the exact sum if you have enough number of 1 kuruş coins. ==Eat== {{seealso|Middle Eastern cuisine}} [[File:AdanaKebap.JPG|thumb|''Adana kebap'', a skewer of minced meat spiced with chili and topped with ''pide'' bread, a speciality of [[Adana]]]] Turkish cuisine combines Mediterranean, Central Asian, Caucasian, and Arabic influences, and is extremely rich. Beef is the most important meat (lamb is also common but due to the Islamic taboo, pork is very hard to find although not illegal), and eggplant (aubergine), onion, lentil, bean, tomato, garlic, and cucumber are the primary vegetables. An abundance of spices is also used. The main staples are rice (''pilav''), bulgur wheat and bread, and dishes are typically cooked in vegetable oil or sometimes butter. There are many kinds of specialized restaurants to choose from, since most do not prepare or serve other kinds of food. Traditional Turkish restaurants serve meals daily prepared and stored in a bain-marie. The meals are at the entrance so you can easily see and choose. ''Kebapçı''s are restaurants specialized in many kinds of kebab. Some kebab restaurants serve alcohol (often denoted by the name ''ocakbaşı'') while others don't. There are subtypes like ''ciğerci'' (specialized in fried liver), ''Adana kebapçısı'' (chili kebab originally from the [[Adana|southern city]] it is named after) or ''İskender kebapçısı'' (slices of roasted beef in tomato and yogurt sauce, originally from [[Bursa]]). Fish restaurants typically serve ''meze'' (cold olive oil dishes) and rakı or wine. ''Dönerci''s are prevalent through country and serve ''döner'' kebab as a fast food. ''Köfteci''s are restaurants with meatballs (''köfte'') served as the main dish. Other fare that can be had at specialized joints include ''kokoreç'' (barbecued & spiced ruminant intestines), ''tantuni'' (finely minced lamb or chicken meat and vegetables sandwich), ''mantı'' (a.k.a. "Turkish ravioli" often in garlic yogurt sauce), ''gözleme'' (thin pancakes filled with meat, cheese or potato, often cooked over a traditional wood-fired oven), ''lahmacun'' (often denoted "Turkish pizza", minced meat, onion, and parsley on a thin, crunchy bread), ''pide'' (similar to ''lahmacun'', but with larger chunks of meat and perhaps cheese over a thicker bread base; likely etymologically related to 'pizza'), and ''çiğ köfte'' (a wrap of mushy bulgur wheat and fresh vegetables; the original recipe included uncooked meat — hence the name "raw meatball" — but most commonly vegan nowadays). ''Midye'' (mussels with spicy rice) is often a late night snack, available from [[street food|street stalls]] and enjoyed after a marathon of binge drinking. A full Turkish meal at kebab restaurant starts with a soup, often lentil soup (''mercimek çorbası''), and a set of ''meze'' appetizers featuring olives, cheese, pickles and a wide variety of small dishes. Meze can easily be made into a full meal, especially if they are consumed along with rakı. The main course is usually meat: a common dish type and Turkey's best known culinary export is '''kebab''' (''kebap''), grilled meat in various forms including the famous ''döner kebap'' (thin slices of meat shaved from a giant rotating spit) and ''şiş kebap'' (skewered meat), and a lot more others. ''Köfte'' (meatball) is a variation of the kebab. There are hundreds of kinds of ''köfte'' throughout Anatolia, but only about a dozen of them are known to the residents of the larger cities, like ''İnegöl köfte'', ''Dalyan köfte'', ''sulu köfte'' etc. Eating on the cheap is mostly done at kebab stands, which can be found everywhere in Istanbul and other major cities. For the equivalent of a couple dollars, you get a full loaf of bread sliced down the middle, filled with broiled meat, lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. For North Americans familiar with "donairs" wrapped in pita bread or wraps, you should look for the word ''dürüm'' or ''dürümcü'' on the windows of the kebab stands and ask for your kebab to be wrapped in a ''dürüm'' or ''lavaş'' bread depending on the region. ===Vegetarians=== Vegetarian restaurants are not common, and can be found only in very central parts of big cities and some of the tourist spots. However, every good restaurant offers vegetable dishes, and some of the restaurants offering traditional ''ev yemeği'' (“home food”) have olive-oil specialities which are vegetarian in content. The Aegean region, where all kinds of wild herbs are eaten as main meals, either cooked or raw and dressed with olive oil, is really easy for vegetarian travel but the same is not true for everywhere else in the country — in the southeast for example, a dish without meat is not considered a proper meal. In such areas, supermarkets may help with their shelves full of canned vegetables or cooked olive-oil courses (imported from outside the region) and fresh fruits. However in rural areas, it's better not to tempt fate, and bring along some supplies just in case, as nonregional food might not be available. ===Desserts=== [[Image:T Honey.jpg|thumb|Turkish delight]] Some Turkish desserts are modeled on the sweet and nutty Arabic kind: famous dishes include ''baklava'', a layered pastry of finely ground nuts and phyllo dough soaked in honey and spices, and Turkish delight (''lokum''), a gummy confection of rosewater and sugar. There are also many more kinds of desserts prepared using milk predominantly, such as ''kazandibi'', ''keşkül'', ''muhallebi'', ''sütlaç'', ''tavuk göğsü'', ''güllaç'' etc. ===Breakfast=== Turkish breakfast tends to comprise of ''çay'' (tea), bread, olives, feta cheese, tomato, cucumber and occasionally spreads such as honey and jam. This can become very monotonous after a while. A nice alternative to try (should you have the option) is ''menemen'': a Turkish variation on scrambled eggs/omelette. Capsicum (red bell pepper), onion, garlic and tomato are all combined with eggs. The meal is traditional cooked (and served) in a clay bowl. Try adding a little chili to spice it up and make sure to use lots of bread as well for a filling hot breakfast. Bread is omnipresent in Turkey, at any given meal you'll be presented with a large basket of crusty bread. Ubiquitous ''simit'' (also known as ''gevrek'' in some [[Aegean Turkey|Aegean]] cities such as [[Izmir]]), much like bagel but somewhat thinner, crustier, and with roasted sesame seeds all over, is available from trolleys of street vendors in virtually everywhere at any time except late at night. Perhaps with the addition of Turkish feta cheese (''beyaz peynir'') or cream cheese (''krem peynir'' or ''karper''), a couple of ''simit''s make up a filling and a very budget conscious breakfast (as each costs about 5 TL), or even a lunch taken while on the go. == Drink == [[File:Turkish coffee in Istanbul.jpg | thumb | 300px | Turkish coffee with a morsel of Turkish delight ]] '''Turkish coffee''' (''kahve''), served in tiny cups, is strong and tasty, just be careful not to drink the sludgy grounds at the bottom of the cup. It is very different from the so-called Turkish coffees sold abroad. ''Sade kahve'' is served black, while ''as şekerli'', ''orta şekerli'' and ''çok şekerli'' will get you a little, some or a lot of sugar in your cup. Instant coffees, cappuccinos, and espressos are gaining more popularity day by day, and can be found with many different flavours. Despite coffee taking a substantial part in national culture, '''tea''' (''çay'') is also very popular and is indeed the usual drink of choice. Most Turks are heavy drinkers of tea in their daily lives. Having only entered the scene in the 1930s, tea quickly gained ground against coffee due to the fact that [[Yemen]], the traditional supplier of coffee to Turkey then, was cut off from the rest of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century, and the first tea plants took root in [[Eastern Karadeniz]] after some unsuccessful trials to grow it in the country, as a result of protectionist economic policies that were put into effect after World War I. Be careful, if your tea is prepared by locals, it can be much stronger than you're used to. Although it is not native-typical and a rather touristy feature, you have to taste the special '''apple tea''' (''elma çayı'') or '''sage tea''' (''adaçayı'', literally "island tea") of Turkey. '''Rosehip''' (''kuşburnu'') and '''linden''' (''ıhlamur'') teas are other commonly available variations on the theme, although mostly consumed by Turks as herbal remedies and not for refreshment. [[File:Fresh ayran.jpg | thumb | 300px | A glass of ayran]] '''Ayran''' is a popular drink of water and yoghurt not unlike the Finnish/Russian "buttermilk" or Indian "lassi", but always served without sugar (and, in fact, typically with a little salt added). If you're travelling by bus over the Taurus Mountains, ask for "köpüklü ayaran' or "yayık ayaranı", a variety of the drink much loved by locals. '''Boza''' is a traditional cold, thick drink that originates from Central Asia, but is also common in several [[Balkans|Balkan]] countries. It is fermented ''bulgur'' (a kind of wheat) with sugar and water additions. [http://www.vefa.com.tr/index.php?dil=en Vefa Bozacisi] is the best known and traditional producer of boza in [[Istanbul]]. In Ankara, you get excellent Boza from Akman Boza Salonu in the old city area of Ulus. Boza can also be found on the shelves of many supermarkets, especially in winter, packaged in 1-litre PET bottles. However these bottled bozas lack the sourness and consistency of traditional boza, they are sweeter and less dense. [[File:Salep_drink.jpg | thumb | 300px | A cup of salep]] '''Sahlep''' (or '''Salep''') is another traditional hot drink, made from milk, orchid root and sugar, typically decorated with cinnamon. It is mostly preferred in winter and can be found in cafés and patisseries (''pastane'') and can be easily confused by the looks of it with cappuccino. You can also find instant sahlep in many supermarkets sold with the name ''Hazır Sahlep''. '''Red poppy syrup''' is one of the traditional Turkish drinks made of red poppy petals, water and sugar by natural ways. [[Bozcaada]] is famous for red poppy syrup. International brands of '''colas''', '''sodas''' and '''fruit-flavoured sodas''' are readily available and much consumed alongside some local brands. In Turkish, ''soda'' means '''mineral water''', whereas what is called as soda in English is ''gazoz'' or ''sade gazoz'' in Turkish. [[file:Toasting.JPG | thumb | 300px | ''Şerefe!'' - a toast with rakı over a family meal]] '''Rakı''' is Turkey's national drink, the aniseed-flavoured twice-distilled spirit similar to ''anise, ouzo, sambuca'' and ''arak''. It's distilled first from raisins or grapes, or less often from figs, beet sugar or other sources. The first distillation creates a very strong spirit called ''suma''. This is mixed with aniseed and water, re-distilled, re-diluted then matured for 30 days. It's sold at 40% abv strength and always drunk in a long glass mixed with water, which turns it cloudy. You might indicate ''tek'' (single) or ''duble'' (double) for how much rakı goes into your glass, and have a second glass of iced water at hand. It's nice with appetisers, ''meze'' or seafood; don't drink large amounts without a meal unless you're Kemal Atatürk setting your country to rights. Every supermarket stocks rakı: common brands (also marketed in the west) include Yeni, Tekirdağ, and Efe. As for Turkish '''wine''', the wines are as good as the local grape varieties. ''Kalecik Karası'' from [[Ankara]], ''Karasakız'' from [[Bozcaada]], ''Öküzgözü'' from [[Elazığ]], ''Boğazkere'' from [[Diyarbakır]] are some of the most well-known varieties. The biggest winemakers are [http://www.kavaklidere.com/girisEN.aspx Kavaklıdere], [http://dolucawines.com/ Doluca], [http://sevilengroup.com/en/vineyards Sevilen], and [https://kayrawines.com/Sayfalar/index.aspx Kayra] with many good local vineyards especially in the western part of the country. In addition liquory fruit wines of [[Şirince]] near [[Izmir]] are well worth tasting. One specific sweet red wine to try while you're there is Talay Kuntra. There are two major Turkish '''breweries'''. Efes and Tekel Birası are two widely known lagers. In addition, you can find locally brewed Tuborg, Miller, Heineken, and Carlsberg too. ==Smoke== All cigarettes except ecigs are sold freely and are still relatively cheap by western standards. Although many Turkish people do smoke, there is a growing health awareness about smoking and the number of smokers is slowly but steadily declining, and the rigid smoking ban that was introduced is surprisingly enforced. Smoking in the presence of someone who does not smoke in a public place requires their permission. If someone does not like the smoke, they will ask you not to smoke or they will cough, then just stop and apologize. This is what the locals do. If you are invited to someone's home, do not smoke unless the host does first, and after they do, then you can ask for their permission to smoke. ===Smoking ban=== Smoking is banned in public places (e.g. airports, metro stations and indoor train stations, schools, universities, government administration buildings, in all workplaces, concert halls, theatres and cinemas) and on public transport (airplanes, ferries, trains, suburban trains, subways, trams, buses, minibuses, and taxis). Smoking is banned in sports stadiums, the only outdoor areas where this ban is extended. It is a finable offence of 69 TL. Separately smoking is also banned, in restaurants, bars, cafes, traditional teahouses, the remaining air-conditioned public places including department stores and shopping mall restaurants; and there are no exceptions as indoor non-smoking sections are also banned. Apart from a fine for smokers, there is a heavy fine of 5,000 TL for owners, for failing to enforce the ban properly and that is why it is strictly enforced by these establishments. In Istanbul, especially in non-tourist areas, some bars/restaurants/music venues and even work places will bring you an ashtray as there will be many people smoking inside, even though there is a sign on the wall forbidding it, many people consider it to be up to the discretion of the owners/workers of the building. However, bars/restaurants/music venues in tourist areas (e.g. Beyoğlu, Sişli etc...) are relentlessly "raided" (and in case of any violations – not just for flouting the smoking ban – fined heavily) by the zabıta (municipal official), so these establishments will much less likely dare to violate the bans. Although such "raids" will be disconcerting for tourists, customers will not be affected as the zabıta does not issue fines to customers – at most will be asked to leave the place, in case of serious violations. However the smoking ban is openly flouted in government administration buildings, where the civil servants seem to think that they are somehow above the law. Outside the cities and tourist resorts, the smoking ban is less rigidly enforced in small towns and in the villages hardly at all, because the municipal police (zabıta) rarely comes to these places to enforce it and issue fines, leading to some establishments and its customers to ignore this, but even there it is nevertheless best to follow the less enforced smoking ban. While smoking is strictly prohibited on public transport, you will see some taxi drivers smoking in their taxis, which are also included in the smoking ban, but is the only form of public transport where this ban is openly flouted. When entering the taxi just request the taxi driver not to smoke, and he will politely oblige - in fact most of them will put out their cigarettes immediately once they see a customer hailing them or approaching them. ==Sleep== [[File:Balloons over Cappadocia - 2014.10 - panoramio.jpg|thumb|Balloons over Cappadocia]] Accommodation in Turkey varies from 5-star hotels to a simple tent pitched in a vast plateau. So the prices vary hugely as well. ===Hotels=== All major cities and tourist spots have '''5-star hotels''', many of them run by international chains. These are mostly concrete blocks, although some, particularly in rural areas, are bungalows with private gardens and swimming pools. If you are looking for an all-inclusive holiday package in a [[Mediterranean_Turkey|Mediterranean]] '''resort''', you would definitely find better rates when booking back at home rather than in Turkey itself. The difference is considerable; compared with what you would pay when booking at home, you may end up paying twice as much if you simply walk in the resort. ===Hostels and guesthouses=== '''[[Hostels]]''' are not widespread; there are a few in Istanbul, mainly in the Sultanahmet and Taksim areas, and still fewer are recognized by Hostelling International (HI, former International Youth Hostel Federation, IYHF). Alternatively, '''guesthouses''' (''pansiyon'') provide low cost accommodation (expect around 75–150 TL daily per person, 2022). B&Bs are also generally covered by the word ''pansiyon'', as most of them offer breakfast (sometimes for an extra payment; ask before deciding on a stay there). Unique in the country, [[Olympos (Turkey)|Olympos]] to the southwest of Antalya is known for welcoming visitors in the '''wooden tree-houses''' or in wooden communal sleeping halls. '''Short term rentals''' of flats in low-rise beachfront properties are possible. These are called ''apart hotel''s, often come with two rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and basic furniture and kitchenware, and can easily accommodate four people or more. They are more commonly found in the coastal towns of the [[Marmara_(region)|Marmara]] and [[Northern Aegean]] regions, which attract a larger number of Turkish families than overseas travellers. On a per person basis, these are much cheaper than hotels at about 1000–1500 TL per flat as of summer 2022 — expect the price to fluctuate depending on the location, season, and duration of your stay — but food and other similar expenses are on you. Many '''timeshare condos''' (''devremülk'') accept walk-in guests. These are mostly found in areas notable for their hot springs (not necessarily on the coast or surrounded by plenty of attractions), and mostly attract either families with children or older couples. Expect to pay upwards of 250 TL/night for a flat (2022), but as with ''apart hotel''s, the cost depends on the location and season. ==="Teacher's house"=== Like Atatürk statues and crescent-and-star flags etched into the sides of mountains, the ''öğretmenevi'' (“teacher’s house”) is an integral part of the Turkish landscape. Found in almost every city in Turkey, these government-run institutions serve as affordable guesthouses for educators on the road and&mdash;since anyone is welcome if space is available&mdash;for those traveling on a teacher’s budget (in 2022 about 200 TL/person, breakfast ''kahvaltı'' included; WiFi and hot water available). For the most part, these guesthouses are drab affairs, 1970s-era concrete boxes usually painted in a shade of pink and found in some of the least interesting parts of town. However safety and cleanliness are never concerns. ===Agritourism=== [https://wwoofturkey.org/ ''TaTuTa''] (an acronym from the first syllables of ''Tarım-Turizm-Takas'': Agriculture-Tourism-Barter) is an [[agritourism]] project aiming to connect organic farmers with interested travellers, through an exchange of overnight farm stays in return for a lending hand in gardenwork. ===Camping and RV-camping=== [[File:A camping place.JPG|thumb|A campsite in Turkey]] There are many private estates dotting the whole coastline of Turkey, where the owners rent their property for campers. These '''campsites''', ''kamping'' in Turkish, have basic facilities such as tap water, toilets, tree shade (a particularly welcome treat during the scorching and fiercely sunny summers), and some provide electricity to each tent by individual wires. Camping in the cities and towns outside the campsites is usually frowned upon, so you should always ask the local administration (village chief ''muhtar'' and/or gendarme ''jandarma'' in villages, municipalities ''belediye'' and/or the local police ''polis'' in towns) if there is an acceptable spot for you to pitch your tent. Wild camping in the forest without permission is OK, unless the area is under environmental protection. Regardless of the conservational status, a campfire anywhere in forests apart from the designated fireplaces in recreational (read "picnic") areas is forbidden. '''Stores''' offering camping gear are hard to come across, usually along back alleys in towns (often the stores offering hunting equipment are your best bet) or in the underground floors of large shopping arcades. So, unless you are exactly sure you can obtain what you need at your destination, it's best to pack along your gear. In smaller stores in non-major towns, the price of most of what is on sale is pretty much [[Bargaining|negotiable]]—it is not uncommon for shop attendants to ask double or even more of what it would typically cost in another store in a neighbouring town for an item. Although a revival seems to have started in the 2020s, '''caravan/trailer parks''' are not as common as they once were; there remains only a few, if any, from the days hippies tramped the Turkish highways in their vans—perhaps the most famous one, the Ataköy caravan park, known amongst the RV-ers for its convenient location in Istanbul is long history. However, caravanners can stay overnight in numerous resting areas along the highways and motorways, many larger parking lots within the cities or virtually in any appropriate rural public space. Filling the water tanks and discharging wastewater seem to matter most. ===Booking.com=== The service to make reservations for Turkey is only available outside of Turkey. This is due to a tax struggle between the website and the government. So, you best book your accommodation before coming to Turkey. Otherwise, you can always use Tor or a VPN to get around this limitation. ==Learn== *'''Naile's Art Home''' is a marbling paper (''ebru'') gallery and workshop in [[Cappadocia]]. *'''[https://sanatkampi.com/en/ Kayaköy Art Camp]''', in [[Kayaköy]], a ghost town near Fethiye is offering art classes in summer, specializing on photography, painting, and sculpture. *'''Ottoman Turkish''' classes in are held in Adatepe, a bohemian village in the Northern Aegean near [[Altınoluk]]. You can also participate in '''[http://www.philosophyinassos.org/ philosophy classes]''' taking place every summer in nearby [[Assos]], carrying on the agora tradition of the ancient Med. *'''Glass workshops''' around Beykoz up on the Bosphorus in the [[Istanbul/Asian Side|Asian Side]] of Istanbul, are offering one-day classes teaching how to make trinkets out of recycled glass. *There are many '''language schools''' where you can study Turkish in most of the larger cities. Ankara University affiliated ''[http://tomer.ankara.edu.tr/en/home-page/ Tömer]'' is one of the most popular language schools in Turkey and has branches in many cities, including Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir among others. *Many Turkish '''universities''' participate in pan-European and pan-Islamic '''student exchange''' programs (like Erasmus or Mevlana). Check with your own university and the Turkish one you intend to study at. *Many foreigners living in Istanbul support themselves by teaching English. Finding a good teaching job is usually easier with a well-recognized certificate like the ones listed below: **'''[http://www.iti-istanbul.com ITI Istanbul]''' in 4. Levent runs Cambridge University's CELTA and DELTA courses year-round. ==Work== Work as an English teacher is reasonably easy to stumble upon. ESL teachers with a Bachelor’s Degree and TESOL Certificate can expect to earn 800-2,500 TL (monthly) and will usually teach 20–35 hours in a week. Contracts will sometimes include accommodations, airfare, and health-care. Being that import-export is huge in Turkey, there are also many opportunities outside of teaching, though these are often much more difficult to find and require some legal work. You need to have a work permit to work in Turkey. The control over illegal workers have grown stricter in the past five years with the consequence of deportation, so take the work permit issue seriously. However, if you have your own company in Turkey you are allowed to "manage" it without having a work permit. Setting up what is known as an FDI (foreign direct investment) company is relatively straightforward, takes a few days and costs around 2,300 TL (April 2007). You don't need a Turkish partner, the company can be 100% foreign owned and requires a minimum of two people as shareholders. Running costs for a company average about 2,500 TL per year for a small to medium enterprise, less for an inactive company. Owning a company allows you to be treated as Turkish in respect of purchasing real estate and bypasses the need for military permission and allows you to complete a sale in one day if required. ==Stay safe== {{Warningbox|Because of the ongoing civil war in Syria, do not travel within 10 km of Turkey's border with that country. |uk=https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/turkey |lastedit=2020-09-01}} [[File:Falezlerden Antalya Konyaaltı Plajına doğru bir görünüm.jpg|thumb|Antalya beach]] Dial '''112''' to contact the police or the gendarme (a military-styled unit of the Interior Ministry responsible for rural safety) from any phone, free of charge. Upon entering some museums, hotels, metro stations, and almost all shopping malls, especially in larger cities, you will notice '''security checkpoints''' similar to those found in airports. Don't worry, this is the standard procedure in Turkey and does not imply an immediate danger of attack. These security screenings are also conducted in a much more relaxed way than the airports, so you will not have to remove your belt to avoid the alarm when walking through the metal detector. '''Carry your passport''' or other means of identification at all times. One may not be requested to show them for a long period, then all of a sudden a minibus is checked by the traffic police (or the military, particularly in Eastern Turkey), or one runs into an officer of the law with time on his hand, and one must show papers. Some government buildings may ask you to temporarily surrender your passport in return for equipment such as headphones for simultaneous translation, etc., and you may find your passport stored in an open box along with the locals ID cards which may be a little disconcerting. Hotels may request you to hand your passport in until you paid the bill, which puts you into an awkward situation. Referring to the police always made them hand the passport back, once the registration procedure was finalized. Showing a personal visiting card, one or two credit cards or knowing the address of a respectable hotel may solve the no-papers situation, but any self-respecting officer will tell you that you are in the wrong, and will be sorry next time. If treated politely however police and military can be quite friendly and even offer rides to the next city (no joke intended). If you intend to travel to [[Eastern_Anatolia|Eastern]] or [[Southeastern Anatolia]], stay ahead of the news. Although it offers many beautiful sights, the situation is far from secure due to '''ethnic strife''' and protests, sometimes resulting in violence. The region is far from a war zone, but take precaution when visiting this volatile place. The real risk of threat is not very big though, if you stick on major routes and follow common sense rules (such as avoiding demonstrations). ===Crime=== {{see also|Istanbul#Scams}} The large cities in Turkey, especially Istanbul, are not immune to '''petty crime'''. Although petty crime is not especially directed towards tourists, by no means are they exceptions. Snatching, [[Pickpockets|pickpocketing]], and mugging are the most common kinds of petty crime. The early 2000s installation of a camera network which watches the primary streets and squares has reduced the number of snatching and mugging incidents. Just like anywhere else, following common sense is recommended. Have your wallet and money in your front pockets instead of the back pockets, backpack or shoulder bag. Don't exhibit your camera or cellphone publicly for too long if it is a new and/or expensive model (they know what to take away, no one will bother to steal a ten-year-old cell phone as it would pay very little). The same goes for your wallet, if it looks swollen. Leave a wide berth and move away from the area quickly if you see two or more people suddenly begin to argue and fight as this may be a trick to attract your attention while another person relieves you of your valuables. Be alert, this often happens very quickly. Watch your belongings in crowded places and on public transport, especially on trams and urban buses. Avoid dark and desolate alleys at night. If you know you have to pass one at night, don't have excessive cash on you. Stay away from demonstrating crowds if the demonstration seems to be turning into an unpeaceful one. Also in resort towns, when going to the beach, don't take any valuable equipment along if there will be no one to take care of them while you are swimming. If you notice that your wallet has been stolen it is wise to check the nearest trash cans before reporting the loss to the police. Often the thieves in Turkey will drop the wallet into the trash to avoid being caught in possession of it and thus red-handed. Obviously it is highly likely that your money will no longer be in it, but there is a chance that your credit cards and papers will be. Have a read at the [[Istanbul#Scams|scams section of the Istanbul article]] to have an idea about what kinds of '''scams''' you may come across elsewhere in the country as in Istanbul. ===Driving and road safety=== You should drive defensively at all times and take every precaution while driving in Turkey. Drivers in Turkey routinely ignore traffic regulations, including driving through red lights and stop signs, and turning left from the far right lane; these driving practices cause frequent traffic accidents. Drivers who experience car troubles or accidents pull to the side of the road and turn on their emergency lights to warn other drivers, but many drivers place a large rock or a pile of rocks on the road about 10-15 m behind their vehicles instead of turning on emergency lights. You may not use a cell phone while driving. It is strictly prohibited by law. Driving rural roads at night, particularly during the summer harvest, be on the watch for '''unilluminated agricultural machinery''' which move slowly in the lane, and may not be visible until you are dangerously close. Most Turkish drivers do not respect pedestrian crossings, so be careful when '''crossing a street''', as mentioned in the [[Turkey#On foot|get around/on foot]] section. ===Animals=== The Turkish wilderness is home to both venomous and non-venomous '''snake''' (''yılan'') species. The [[Mediterranean_Turkey|southern]] and especially [[Southeastern Anatolia|southeastern]] parts (even cities) of the country have large numbers of '''scorpions''' (''akrep''), so exercise caution if/when you are sleeping on open rooftops, which is common in the southeastern region in summer. If you are stung by one, seek urgent medical aid. As for wild mammals, the most dangerous ones are '''wolves''', '''bears''' and '''wild boars''', but attacks on humans are extremely rare. All of these animals live only in mountainous areas (of almost all regions) and your chance of sighting one is very low (except boars which are not so rare). Wolves and bears are unlikely to attack unless you follow or disturb them (or, particularly, their young) aggressively. However, in the mating season between November and January, boars are known to attack even with the slightest provocation. The biggest animal threat comes from '''stray dogs''' (or sheepdogs in rural areas). Don’t assume you will come across gangs of aggressive stray dogs next to the gate of [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City#See|Hagia Sophia]] or the beach club however. They are mostly found in rural areas and the non-central parts of the cities. They are usually discreet and more afraid of you than you are of them. '''Rabies''' (''kuduz'') is endemic in Turkey (and most of the world) [http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/yellowBookCh4-Rabies.aspx], so anyone bitten by a dog or other carnivore should seek urgent treatment, despite what you may be told by your hotel or other well meaning strangers. Many stray dogs you’ll see in the cities bear plastic ear tags, indicating the dog was cleaned up, vaccinated (against rabies and a number of other diseases), sterilized, and then returned back to the streets as this is the most feasible humane treatment (compare with keeping them in a cage-like environment or putting them to sleep). The process is going on slowly but steadily, so it can be hoped the stray dog problem in Turkey will disappear in natural ways sometime in the future. ===Weather=== Most of Turkey has hot summers, with extremely hot summers in the southeastern interior, and while no part of Turkey is a desert, be extra careful when going to the south and southeast if you have never been in a hot-summer climate before. Take it easy on the first few days of your vacation. It’s always an excellent idea to put extra sunscreen on and avoid alcohol as you get used to the summer heat. However despite stereotypes, Turkey isn’t hot all year round. There are harsh winters in the central and especially eastern regions of the country and in the mountains, and the northern parts of Turkey (see [[Marmara_(region)|Marmara]] and [[Black_Sea_Turkey|Black Sea]] regions) have mild, maritime climates with warm but not hot summers. ===Natural disasters=== Much of Turkey is prone to [[earthquakes]]. ===Tourism Police=== There are "Tourism Police" sections of the police departments of [[Ankara]], [[Antalya]], [[Istanbul]] (in [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Sultanahmet]]), and [[Izmir]] providing help specifically for tourists, where travellers can report passport loss and theft or any other criminal activity, they may have become victims of. The staff is multilingual and will speak English, German, French, and Arabic. ==Stay healthy== Dial '''112''' from any telephone, anywhere, free of charge for an ambulance. '''Food safety''' - Food is generally free of parasitic or bacterial contamination, but be prudent anyway. Look at where local people are preferring to eat. Do not eat stuff that is sold outdoors, at least in summer and at least which local folk don’t eat. They can spoil fairly quickly without needed refrigeration. Wash thoroughly and/or peel fresh fruits and vegetables. They may be free of biological contaminants but their skin is probably heavily loaded with pesticides (unless you see the not-very-common certified organic produce marker on, of course). Food in western regions of the country is OK for (western) travellers for the most part, but the more east, south, and northeast you go, the more unaccustomed contents in the food you’ll come across, like goat or goose meat or hot/heavy spices. These contents may or may not cause [[Travellers' diarrhea|diarrhea]], but it is wise to have at least some anti-diarrhea medicine nearby, especially if you are going to travel to places a bit off-beaten-track. An antidiarrheal derived from the probiotic yeast ''Saccharomyces boulardii'' is commonly available over-the-counter from pharmacies under the brand name ''Reflor'', for about 80 TL as of 2022 for 10 powder packs. [[File:Anzer yaylası-2.JPG|thumb|250px|There is little reason to get paranoid about water safety in places like the Anzer Plateau, south of [[Rize]] — indeed locals in the Pontic highlands may be offended if you insistently ask around for bottled water]] '''[[Water|Water safety]]''' — Tap water, including that comes out of the mosque fountains (''şadırvan''), generally isn't pleasant to drink; it's often very chalky due to the climate and the underlying geology, and is almost always heavily chlorinated, yet no one guarantees it is safe enough for drinking due to possible deficits in the distribution network. So it is better to stick to bottled water, which is readily available and comes in varying sizes from 0.25 L plastic cups to 19 L office jars, with 0.5 L and 1.5 L being the most common. Chain stores always provide it cheaper than roadside kiosks, transportation venues or museum shops; a fair price in grocery stores in 2022 is the volume in litres multiplied by 3 (e.g. 1.50 TL for 0.5 L). Even so, if you can't resist the temptation to have a nicely chilled water from the next street vendor while walking down a baking pavement in a summer afternoon, always check the bottle has a label and the production details laser printed on the top or on the cap — otherwise you may just be about to drink tap water in a reused bottle. If you are going to be [[Outdoor life|outdoors]], seek local advice on fresh water availability. Narrow and rocky peninsulas (e.g., some sections of the [[Lycian Way]]) often lack water sources where you need them most to be. Lastly, it is great to be cautious about water, but don't take it to the level of paranoia — if water gushing out of a mountain spring or a village fountain looks and smells fine, it likely is. '''Hospitals''' – Both private and public hospitals (''hastane'') exist in Turkey. Private hospitals are run by associations, businesses, and private universities, and provide a similar comfort level to hotels. Public hospitals are run by the Ministry of Health and public universities. All mid-to-big size cities and major resort towns have private hospitals, multiple in many cities, but in a small town a public hospital is your best bet. Expect crowds and lines in public hospitals, except emergencies. You may also be denied entry to the public hospitals for non-emergency situations, or asked for upfront payment, if you don’t have a Turkish or travel insurance. Travel health insurance is highly recommended because the better private hospitals operate under the "user pays" principle and their rates are much inflated compared with the public hospitals. It's a judgement call whether to include air evacuation in the policy if you are going to visit remoter rural areas. In the city suburbs, there are usually also policlinics which can treat simpler illnesses or injuries. In the villages don't expect more than little clinics (''sağlık ocağı'', literally “health house”) which have a very limited supply and staff, though they can effectively treat simple ailments or ''may'' provide antibody against, for example, snake bite. On road signage, directions to hospitals are indicated by an "H" on dark blue [[File:Turkish road sign 84.jpg|20px]], whereas village clinics are shown with a red crescent sign [[File:Turkish road sign 85.jpg|20px]], the Turkish equivalent of the red cross. There is an emergency ward (''acil servis'') open 24 hours in every hospital. Suburban policlinics don’t have to provide one, but some of them are open 24-hr anyway. Village clinics do certainly have a much limited opening hours (generally 08:00 to sunset). Turkey (Istanbul and Antalya in particular) has become a popular [[medical tourism]] destination, particularly for cosmetic procedures such as hair transplants. Packages inclusive of treatment and vacation are available. '''Dentists''' – There are lots of private dentist offices in the cities, especially along the main streets. Look for the ''diş hekimi'' signs around, it won’t take long before you see one. Most dentists work on an appointment, although they may check or start the treatment on your turning up without an appointment if their schedule is okay. A simple treatment for a tooth decay costs about 40 TL on the average. Ordinary toothbrushes and pastes (both local and international brands) can be obtained from supermarkets. If you want something special, you may check out pharmacies. It is okay to brush teeth with tap water. '''Pharmacies''' - There are pharmacies (''eczane'' in Turkish) in all cities and many towns. Pharmacies are open 08:30-19:00, however every town has at least one drugstore on duty overnight (''nöbetçi eczane''), all other pharmacies in the town usually display its name, address and telephone numbers on their windows. Most basic drugs, including painkillers such as ''Aspirin'', are sold over the counter, although only in pharmacies. '''Mosquitoes''' - Keeping a [[Mosquitoes|mosquito]] repellent handy is a good idea. Although the risk of [[malaria]] anywhere in the country is long gone (except the southernmost areas near the Syrian border which used to have a very low level of risk until up to 1980s), mosquitoes can be annoying especially in coastal areas out of cities, including vacation towns at nights between June and September. In some towns, especially the ones near the deltas, mosquito population is so large that people desert the streets during the “mosquito raid” which occurs between the sunset and one hour after that. DEET-containing aerosol repellents (some are suitable to apply to the skin while others, the ones that are in tall tin cans are for making a room mosquito-free before going to bed, not to be applied onto skin, so choose what you buy wisely) can be obtained from supermarkets and pharmacies. There are also solid repellents coming in a tablet form which are used with their special devices indoors having an electricity socket. They release scentless chemicals into the air of the room which disturb the senses of mosquitoes and make them unable to “find” you. The tablets, together with their devices, can also be obtained from supermarkets and pharmacies. Beware! You shouldn’t touch those tablets with bare hands. '''Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever''' (''Kırım-Kongo kanamalı ateşi'' in Turkish, shortly ''KKKA'') is a serious viral disease and transmitted by a '''tick''' (''kene'') species. It can kill the infected person in a very short time, usually within three or four days. This disease has claimed more than 20 lives in Turkey within the past two years. The biggest risk is in the rural parts (''not'' urban centres) of [[Tokat]], [[Corum]], [[Yozgat]], [[Amasya]], and [[Sivas]] provinces, all situated in an area where disease-carrying tick thrives because of the area’s location between the humid climate of maritime Black Sea Region and arid climate of Central Anatolia. Authorities recommend to wear light coloured clothing which makes distinguishing a tick clinged to your body easier. It’s also recommended to wear long trousers rather than shorts if you plan to walk through dense and/or tall grass areas (the usual habitat for ticks). If you see a tick on your body or clothing, in '''no means try to pull it out''' since this may cause the tick’s head (and its mouth where it carries the virus) sticking inside your skin. Instead, go to the nearest hospital immediately to seek urgent expert aid. Being late to show up in hospital (and to diagnose) is number one killer in this disease. Symptoms are quite like that of flu and a number of other illnesses, so doctor should be informed about the possibility of CCHF and be shown the tick if possible. Coastal Black Sea Region, Marmara Region, Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, and East Anatolia are generally deemed free of this disease (and also free of the disease-carrying species of tick) with no casualties. But in the name of being cautious, you should head for the nearest hospital anyway if you are bitten by (most likely an innocent) tick. Also remember that if you should head for the danger zone described above, ticks are not active in winter. Their active period is April to October, so is the danger period. '''Public restrooms''' - Though many main squares and streets in the cities have a public restroom, if you cannot manage to find one, look for the nearest mosque, where you will see a public restroom in a corner of, or below its courtyard. Despite the fact that there is no shortage of cheap toilet papers anywhere in the country, however, you are unlikely to find toilet paper in almost any of the public restrooms (except lavatories of restaurants –including the road restaurants, hotels and most of the cafés and bars, of course). Instead, you are likely to find a bidet or a tap. (Don't be puzzled. That's because devout Muslims use water instead of paper to clean up and paper usually used as a dryer after cleaning.). So it is a good idea to have a roll of toilet paper in your backpack during your walkings for sightseeing. It is best to take your single roll of toilet paper from home or bathroom of the hotel you’re staying at, because the smallest size available in Turkey market is 4-rolls per package (8-rolls per package being the commonest) which would last very long (actually longer than your trip, unless you will do all the road down to India overland). It isn’t expensive but it takes unnecessary backpack space, or unnecessary landfill space if you won’t use it liberally and won’t take the unused rolls back to home as an unusual souvenir from Turkey. In the better places on the road in the country there are rest rooms that are maintained and an attendant ready to collect 1 TL from the tourist for the privilege of using one. Restroom is ''tuvalet'' in colloquial Turkish, though you’ll more likely to see ''WC'' signs, complete with diagrams and doors signed ''Bay'' or ''Bayan'' (respectively "men" and "women"). '''Menstrual products''' – Different types and designs of disposable pads are widely available. Look around in the supermarkets. However, Turkish women prefer tampons much less than European women do, so they are rarer. They are available only in some of the pharmacies. '''Hamam''' - If you haven't been to one, you've missed one of life's great experiences and never been clean. You can catch your inner peace with history and water in a bath (hamam). See hamams in [[Istanbul#Hamams|Istanbul]]. ==Respect== [[File:SANTA SOFIA AYASOFIA ISTAMBUL - panoramio.jpg|thumb|Inside Hagia Sofia, [[Istanbul]]]] ===Things to do=== Turks are a very friendly, polite and hospitable people, sometimes even to a fault. * When you are invited into a Turkish home, make sure to bring them a gift. Anything is fine from flowers to chocolate and indeed something representative from your country (but not wine and other alcoholic beverages if you are about to meet the host or if you do not know them well enough, as many Turks, for religious reasons or not, do not drink alcoholic beverages, and that is why it would be considered inappropriate as a gift). When you arrive at the house take off your shoes just outside or immediately inside the door, unless the owner explicitly allows you to keep them on. Even then, it might be more polite to remove your shoes. And if you really want their respect, thank your host for the invitation and compliment them. When inside the house, don't ask for anything for they will surely offer it. The host will make sure to make you feel at home, so don't take advantage of their kindness. * People in Turkey respect elderly people, so in a bus, tram, subway and in other forms of public transportation, young(er) people will always offer you a place to sit if you are an old(er) person as well as a handicapped person or a pregnant woman or have children with you. * It is respectful to bend slightly (not a complete bow) when greeting someone older or in a position of authority. * Try to use some Turkish phrases. They will be complimentary if you try, and there is no reason to be embarrassed. They realize that Turkish is very difficult for foreigners and won't scoff at all at your mistakes; on the contrary, they will be delighted at you for trying it, even if they may not always be able to understand your pronunciation! * Showing up late to a social gathering or a party isn't rude, but it is important to be on time for business appointments and other formal situations. ===Things to avoid=== Turkish people understand that visitors are usually not aware of Turkish culture and customs, and tend to be tolerant of blunders in this regard by foreigners. There are, however, some which will meet with universal disapproval, and these should be avoided at all costs: '''Politics:''' * It is '''illegal''' to "insult Turkishness", i.e. criticising the country, the government, or national heroes. You don't have to speak about how great Ataturk is, or praise the country excessively; just be polite and there will be no problems. * Don't mention the [[Armenian Genocide remembrance|Armenian Genocide]], Kurdish separatism or the Cyprus problem. These are extremely sensitive topics and are definitely to be avoided. Turkish society has a highly emotional approach to these issues. In particular, some statements about the Armenian Genocide, including referring to it as a genocide, are '''illegal''' in Turkey. '''Symbols''' * Be respectful of the Turkish anthem. Do not mock or mimic the Turkish anthem, as Turks are extremely proud and sensitive of their national symbols, and will be very offended. * Be respectful of the Turkish flag. Don't put it on places where people sit or stand, don't drag it, don't wrinkle it, don't contaminate it, don't use it as a dress or uniform. Not only will Turks be very offended, furthermore the desecration of the Turkish flag is a punishable offence. The flag is extremely important and well respected in Turkey. *Despite misconceptions, Turkey isn’t Greek, Iranian or Arab. Comparing Turkey to those countries is very frustrating and offensive to locals due to political and cultural differences. '''Religion:''' * Turkey is a predominantly Muslim country, and although you will see varying degrees of Islamic practice in Turkey, with many Turks subscribing to a liberal form of Islam, it is extremely rude to insult or mock its traditions or, for example, mimic the azan (call to prayer). During Ramadan, it is disrespectful to eat, drink, smoke or chew gum in public during daytime. If you are a non-Muslim and wish to eat, doing that in your hotel room is fine. However, Ramadan etiquette is quite relaxed especially in the tourist areas and international areas of big cities. '''Social custom and etiquette breaches:''' * Unless they offer their hand first, don't try to shake hands with a devout Muslim (a headscarf is a dead giveaway for a lady, as are various combinations of baggy pants, a skull cap and full beard — the non-hipster variety — for men), especially if you are the opposite gender. * Don't blow your nose during meals, even discreetly. This is considered extremely rude. * Don't pick your teeth during meals, even discreetly. This is considered extremely rude. * Do not put your feet up while sitting and try not to show the bottom of your feet to someone. This is considered rude. * Don't point with your finger at someone, even discreetly. This is considered rude. * Don't chew gum while having a conversation or during public occasions. This is considered extremely rude. * Public drunkenness (especially the loud and obnoxious variety) is definitely not appreciated and is frowned upon, especially in more conservative areas of the country. Drunken tourists may also attract the attention of pickpockets. However what is absolutely not tolerated with drunkenness especially by the police, if it is accompanied with physical aggressiveness towards other people, this may result with a fine and if this is repeated a heavier fine and/or a visit to the police station may result (if you are tourist, deportation from the country can result). * Certain gestures common in Western Europe are considered rude expressions in Turkey. People tend to be tolerant if they can see you are a foreigner. They know you are probably doing it subconsciously, but if you take the time to keep these in mind, you won’t have any misunderstandings. Making an ‘O’ with your thumb and forefinger (as if to say “OK!”) is rude because you are making the gesture for a hole - which has connotations referring to homosexuality in the Turkish psyche. Avoid clicking your tongue. Some people do this subconsciously at the beginning of a sentence. It is a gesture of dismissal. Also the "got your nose" gesture which is made by making a fist and putting your thumb between your forefinger and the middle finger is considered the equivalent of the middle finger in Turkey. ===Other things to watch for=== * Public displays of affection in larger cities and tourist resorts are tolerated but might invite unnecessary stares from the public. In more rural areas it is frowned upon and is to be avoided. Gay and lesbian travelers should avoid any outward signs of affection, as this will definitely invite unnecessary stares from the public. However overt displays of affection regardless of sexual orientation is regarded as inappropriate. * Avoid shouting or talking loudly in public. Talking loudly is generally considered rude, especially on public transportation. Talking on a mobile phone on public transportation is not considered rude but normal, unless the conversation is too "private". * It's not so common for Turks to smile. Avoid smiling at a stranger, because if you do they most likely will not respond in kind and they will regard you either as odd. Smiling in Turkey towards strangers in public is not done and might be considered inappropriate. Smiling is traditionally reserved for family and friends; smiling at a stranger might be considered weird, as if you were making fun of them and there was something wrong with their clothes or hair. ===Mosques=== [[File:In Turkish mosque.jpg|thumb|Praying in a mosque in Antalya]] Because of religious traditions, all women are required to wear head scarves and not to wear miniskirts or shorts upon entering a mosque (or a church or synagogue). The same goes for the tombs of Islamic saints, too, if the tomb is not called a museum. If you don’t have a shawl or a scarf to put on your head, you can borrow one at the entrance. However wearing-a-scarf rule is somewhat relaxed, especially in big mosques of Istanbul in which tourists are common. In such mosques, no one is warned about their clothes, or because of their lack of head scarves. Even if you’d have to wear a head scarf, no need to worry about how head scarves can be worn properly, just put it onto the crown of your head (you may wrap it under your chin or behind your neck, lest it slip), that will be excessively adequate. Also, men are required to wear trousers, not shorts, upon entering a mosque (or church or synagogue), however nowadays no one is warned about their clothes (at least in big cities). You may find when entering a mosque in more rural areas you will be expected to follow all traditional procedures. During the prayer time, worshippers choose to line in the front rows of the mosques, at such a time stay behind and try not to be noisy. During the Friday noon prayer, which is the most attended, you might be asked to leave the mosque, don’t take it personally, it is because the mosque will be very crowded, there just won’t be enough room for both the worshippers and the sightseers. You will be able to enter back as soon as worshippers are out of the gate. Unlike some other Middle Eastern cultures, eating, drinking, smoking (which is strictly banned), talking or laughing loudly, sleeping or just lying, even sitting on the ground inside mosques is frowned upon in Turkish culture. Public displays of affection are definitely taboo. All shoes should be removed before entering any mosque. There are shoes desks inside the mosques, though you can choose to hold them in your hand (a plastic bag which would be used only for this purpose would help) during your visit. Some mosques have safeboxes with a lock instead of shoe desks. Although there are official opening hours, which are typically shorter than what the mosque is actually open, at the entrances of the most sightseen mosques, they don’t really mean anything. You can visit a mosque as long as its gates are open. Despite the odd tourists who do not conform to the dress code, it is best to dress conservatively and to follow all traditional procedures when entering mosques, tombs and other places of worship, not only because it is required but also as a sign of respect. ===Gay and lesbian travellers=== Turkey is considered to be quite safe for gay and lesbian travellers, and violence against homosexuals is quite rare. There are no laws against homosexuality in Turkey, but same-sex relationships are not recognized by the government or accepted by society. Revealing your sexual orientation openly is very likely to draw stares and whispers. Turkey is more conservative on LGBT matters than most of Europe, though more liberal than the Arab countries. Despite stereotypes, not everyone is homophobic, however be more cautious outside big cities and holiday resorts. ==Connect== ===Power=== All buses have USB socket to charge your phone. If you want to conserve battery power, take two USB cables and charge both your phone and a power bank. ===Emergency=== As of 2021, all emergency services can be contacted by the phone number '''[https://www.112.gov.tr/ 112]''', free of charge, from any phone without inserting a calling/sim card. In case you get connected to the odd exchange in which the unified number doesn't work yet, dial '''112''' for an ambulance, '''110''' for fire department, '''155''' for police, '''156''' for gendarme (a military-styled unit for rural safety), and '''177''' for reporting forest fires. ===Telephone=== {{Infobox|Your phone may be blocked if you use an unregistered local SIM card |Foreign mobile phones without IMEI registration will be blocked after 120 days. This only happens if you use a Turkish SIM card. Phones with a foreign SIM card aren't affected by the blockage. [http://www.turkeytravelplanner.com/details/Communications/registering_mobile_phones_in_turkey.html This website] explains how you can register your mobile phone in Turkey. }} While not as common as they used to be, '''public pay phones''' can still be found at the sides of central squares and major streets in towns and cities and around post offices (''PTT''), especially around their outer walls. With the phase-out of old magnetic cards, public phones now operate with chip ''telekom'' cards which are available in 30, 60 or 120 units and can be obtained at post offices, newspaper and tobacco kiosks. (However emergency numbers can be called without card or anything from these phones.) You can also use your credit card on these phones, though it may not work in the off chance. All phones in the booths have Turkish and English instructions and menus, many also have German and French in addition. There are also telephones available in some kiosks and shops where you pay cash after your call. To spot these, look for ''kontürlü telefon'' signs. These telephones are more expensive than the ones at the booths, though. It is estimated that approximately 98% of the population of Turkey lives within the coverage areas of Turkey’s three '''cell phone''' line providers, and virtually everybody has one. Line providers from most countries have roaming agreements with one or more of these companies. Pre-paid mobile phone SIM cards can be purchased for 20–50 TL. These can be purchased at the airport on arrival or from the many outlets in Istanbul and other large cities. Providers include Vodafone. Here is a quick list of '''area codes''' for some major cities and towns of importance to tourists: {| |- | style="vertical-align:top;width:50%;" | * '''212'''&mdash;[[Istanbul]]-[[Istanbul/European Side|European Side]] * '''216'''&mdash;[[Istanbul/Asian Side|Istanbul-Asian Side]], and [[Istanbul/Princes' Islands|Princes' Islands]] * '''224'''&mdash;[[Bursa]], and [[Uludağ]] * '''232'''&mdash;[[Izmir]], and [[Çeşme]] * '''242'''&mdash;[[Antalya]], [[Alanya]], [[Kemer]], and [[Kaş]] * '''252'''&mdash;[[Muğla]], [[Bodrum]], [[Marmaris]], and [[Fethiye]] * '''256'''&mdash;[[Aydın]], and [[Kusadasi|Kuşadası]] | style="vertical-align:top;width:50%;" | * '''258'''&mdash;[[Denizli]], and [[Pamukkale]] * '''286'''&mdash;[[Çanakkale]], and [[Gallipoli]] * '''312'''&mdash;[[Ankara]] * '''332'''&mdash;[[Konya]] * '''384'''&mdash;[[Nevsehir|Nevşehir]], and most of [[Cappadocia]] (though a few well-known Cappadocian towns which are parts of [[Aksaray Province]] have '''382''' as their area code) |} Area codes are used when calling from a mobile phone or from outside the area. Prefix the code with "0" when not using the country code, such as when calling from a landline elsewhere in the country. Mobile phones have numbers starting with 5xx instead of the area code. This code is always used, also when dialing locally or from a phone with the same prefix. Numbers starting with '''0800''' are pay-free, whereas the ones starting with '''0900''' are high-fee services. 7-digit numbers starting with '''444''' (mainly used by companies) are charged as local calls wherever they are dialed in Turkey. Dial '''00''' prior to country code for '''international calls''' from Turkey. When calling into Turkey, the country code that should prefix city code and phone number is '''90'''. ===Post=== [[File:Main Post Office, Istanbul.jpg|thumb|The Grand Post Office in Istanbul]] '''Post offices''' are recognizable by their yellow and black ''PTT'' signs. Letters and cards should be taken to a post office since the postboxes on the streets are rare (and there is no guarantee that they are emptied at all, even if you spot one). Nevertheless, Turkish Post (PTT) prints some beautiful stamps. '''Postage''' for cards and letters costs 1.60 TL for domestic shipments, and 3.70 TL for international shipments, [http://ptt.gov.tr/sx/ptt/docs/file/tariffs/posta_ucretleri_tarifesi020117.pdf PTT website for rates]. Main post offices in cities are open 08:30-20:30, whereas post offices in towns and smaller post offices in cities are usually open 08:30-17:30. '''''Poste restante'''''/general delivery letters should be sent to an address in the format of: official full name of the addressee (because the receiver will be asked for an ID card, passport or anything that can prove he or she is proper recipient) + ''POSTRESTANT'' + name of the quarter/neighbourhood/district if in a city where there is more than one post office or name of the town where the post office is and the postal code (if known, not obligatory, generally available at the entrance or on the interior walls of the post office) and the name of the province in which the quarter/town of the post office is located. The receiver has to pay 0.50 TL upon receipt of mail. ===Internet=== Although not as widespread as they used to be in the last decade '''''internet cafes''''' or ''net cafes'' are still available in reasonable numbers in cities and towns. In fact, any major town has at least one. All of them have good DSL connections, and price for connection is about more or less 1.50 TL/hr. Most, if not all, of these internet-cafés also have CD writers which are available for anyone who makes an additional payment. * [http://www.turkcell.com.tr Turkcell], the largest mobile operator.

You can also use a VPN or Tor to bypass the blocks. The feature "Secure Wi-Fi" is usable for free on mobile devices. ===Wi-Fi=== * Every '''hotel''' has their own Wi-Fi. Some hotels do have trouble with their network setup or the connection due to the historical location however at the least you will have free Wi-Fi at your hotel. All you have to do is to learn the Wi-Fi password to access the internet. * Every '''café, bistro, restaurant''' share their internet with their guests. Even the small restaurants now have internet access. Stability and speed depend on where you are and what kind of café, bistro or restaurant you are in. Starbucks, Nero, etc., typically have stable Wi-Fi unless very crowded. If you are in a Starbucks all you have to do is connect your device (SSID should be TTNET or DorukNet, and if you are in Nero DorukNet) and fill out some basic information for verification that you have to fill. After that, you are ready to go. And if you are in the other restaurant or cafés you can just ask to your waiter to get SSID and Password and after that you are ready to go. * Free '''public Wi-Fi''' is offered by the Municipality of Istanbul in most common city centers and squares. All you have to do is (when you near of one of these centers of course) register your id via your cell phone and you will get an access password. * You can '''rent a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot''' during your stay in Turkey. It works based on 3G connection in the whole country, and you can connect up to 10 devices at the same time. These pocket-sized devices can be easily booked online. There are plenty of international companies that rent a mobile hotspot.

This is true not only geographically, but also culturally, and many Turks value their European and Asian identities equally. Therefore, Turkey is the ultimate "exotic — but with a twist" destination for many: a great deal of travellers to the country will find a charming novelty in every corner, yet at the same time, will have a feel of comforting familiarity, regardless of which direction or how far they are arriving from. Add the Turks' legendary warmth towards the visitors to the mix, and you get the idea. From the dome-and-minaret filled skyline of [[Istanbul]] to the ancient ruins alongside the [[Aegean Turkey|western]] and [[Mediterranean Turkey|southern]] coasts, heavily indented against a craggy backdrop in [[Lycia]] and wide and sunny in [[Pamphylia]], to the cold and remote mountains of the [[Eastern Anatolia|East]], Turkey offers a wealth of destinations. Crazy "foam parties" in [[Bodrum]] running wild find their place with the Middle Eastern-flavoured cities of [[Southeastern Anatolia]] in the same country. The lush and misty mountains of the [[Eastern Karadeniz|Eastern Black Sea]] are only a few hours away from the vast steppe landscapes of [[Central Anatolia]].

Mount Ararat (''Ağrı Dağı''), at 5,165 m, is Turkey's highest point and the legendary landing place of Noah's Ark on the far eastern edge of the country. The area that is now Turkey has been part of many of the world's greatest empires throughout history. The city of [[Troy (Turkey)|Troy]], famously destroyed by the [[Greece|Greeks]] in Homer's ''Illiad'', has always been associated with the entrance to the Dardanelles strait in northwestern Anatolia. Subsequently, the area was to become part of the Roman Empire, and subsequently, the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire after the Roman Empire split into two, with the city of Constantinople (now [[Istanbul]]) as the regional capital, as well as the Eastern Roman capital after the split. The [[Ottoman Empire]] subsequently defeated the Eastern Roman Empire, and dominated the eastern Mediterranean, until its defeat by the Allies in [[World War I]]. The Turkish Republic (''Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'') was founded in 1923 from the remnants of the Ottoman Empire. Soon thereafter the country instituted secular laws to replace traditional religious fiats and instigated many other radical reforms to rapidly modernise the state. Changing from Arabic script to the 29-letter Turkish alphabet, based on the Roman alphabet, was one of many personal initiatives of the founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Atatürk continues to be revered, and you can see his face gazing down on you or up into the distance in a fatherly, visionary or determined manner in many, many places around Turkey. Atatürk died in 1938 and was succeeded by his right-hand man, İsmet İnönü, who had been the first prime minister of the new republic. It was Inönü that boosted the cult of personality around Atatürk and who led Turkey for a longer time than his larger-than-life predecessor. Turkey joined the UN in 1945 and became a member of NATO in 1952. In 2022, the Government of Turkey began using the Turkish spelling of the country's name, Türkiye, as the name of the country in English. ===Geography=== Turkey occupies a landmass just over {{km2|750,000}}, more than double that of Germany and slightly more than Texas. In terms of the variety of terrain and particularly the diversity of its plant life, Turkey exhibits the characteristics of a small continent. There are, for example, some 10,000 plant species in the country (compared with some 13,000 in all of Europe) — one in three of which is endemic to Turkey. Indeed, there are more native plant species within Istanbul city limits (2,000) than in the whole of the United Kingdom. While many people know of Turkey's rich archaeological heritage, it possesses an equally valuable array of ecosystems — peat bogs, heathlands, steppes, and coastal plains. Turkey possesses many forests (about a quarter of the land) but, as importantly, some half of the country is a semi-natural landscape that has not been entirely remodelled by man. ===Culture=== While it may sound like a tourism brochure cliché, Turkey is really a curious mix of the west and the east — you may swear you were in a [[Balkans|Balkan]] country or in [[Greece]] when in the [[Marmara (region)|northwestern]] and [[Aegean Turkey|western]] parts of the country (except that Byzantine-influenced churches are substituted with equally Byzantine-influenced mosques), which are indeed partly inhabited by people originating from the Balkan countries, arriving in waves during the turmoil before, during, and after [[World War I]], while the [[Southeastern Anatolia|southeastern]] reaches of the country exhibit little if any cultural differences from Turkey's [[Middle East|southern and eastern neighbours]]. Influences from the [[Caucasus]] add to the mix in the [[Eastern Karadeniz|northeast]]. It can be simply put that Turkey is the most oriental of the western nations, or, depending on the point of view, the most occidental of the eastern nations. Perhaps one thing common to all of the country is '''[[Islam]]''', the faith of the bulk of the population. However, interpretation of it varies vastly across the country: many people in the northwestern and western coasts are fairly liberal about the religion (being nominal Muslims sometimes to the point of being irreligious), while the folk of the [[Central Anatolia|central steppes]] and the [[Eastern Anatolia|east]] are far more conservative (don't expect to find a [[Saudi Arabia]] or an [[Afghanistan]] even there, though). The rest of the country falls somewhere in between, with the coastal regions being relatively liberal while the inland regions are relatively conservative as a general rule. The largest '''religious minority''' in the country are the Alevites, who constitute up to 20% of the population and subscribe to a form of Islam closer to that of the Shiite version, and whose rituals draw heavily from the shamanistic ceremonies of ancient Turks. The other religious minorities (the Greek Orthodox, Armenian Apostolic, Jews, Syriac Oriental Orthodox, and Roman Catholics, the latter of whom mainly settled in Turkey within the last 500 years from Western European countries) were once numerous across the country, but are now mostly confined to the large cities of [[Istanbul]] and [[Izmir]], or parts of [[Southeastern Anatolia]] in the case of the Syriac Oriental Orthodox. Despite its large Muslim majority population, Turkey officially remains a secular country, with no declared state religion. ===Holidays=== There are several holidays that can cause delays in travel, traffic congestion, booked up accommodations and crowded venues. Banks, offices and businesses are closed during official holidays and traffic intensifies during all of the following holidays so do your research before you visit. Do not be put off by these holidays, it is not that difficult and often quite interesting to travel during Turkish holidays; plan ahead as much as possible. ====Official holidays==== * 1 January: New Year's Day (''Yılbaşı'') * 23 April: National Sovereignty and Children's Day (''Ulusal Egemenlik ve Çocuk Bayramı'') &mdash; the anniversary of the establishment of the Turkish Grand National Assembly rallies, Turkish flags and Atatürk portraits everywhere, all modes of travel busy * 1 May: Labour and Solidarity Day (''Emek ve Dayanışma Günü'', also unofficially known as ''İşçi Bayramı'', i.e. Worker's Day) was long banned as a holiday for almost 40 years and only restarted as a national holiday in 2009 because in years past it usually degenerated into violence. Don't get caught in the middle of a May Day parade or gathering. * 19 May: Atatürk Commemoration and Youth & Sports Holiday (''Atatürk'ü Anma Gençlik ve Spor Bayramı'') &mdash; the arrival of Atatürk in [[Samsun]], and the beginning of the War of Independence * 30 August: Victory Day (''Zafer Bayramı'') &mdash; Celebration of the end of the war for Turkish Independence over invasion forces. A big Armed Forces day and display of military might by huge military parades. * 29 October: Republic Day (''Cumhuriyet Bayramı'' or ''Yirmi dokuz Ekim'') is the anniversary of the declaration of the Turkish Republic. If it falls on a Thursday for example, Friday and the weekend should be considered in your travel plans. October 29 is the official end of the tourist season in many resorts in [[Mediterranean Turkey]] and usually, there is a huge celebration at the town squares. * 10 November, 09:05 &mdash; Traffic usually stops and sirens blare for two minutes starting at 09:05, the time when Atatürk, founder of the Turkish Republic, died in [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Dolmabahçe Palace]] in [[Istanbul]] in 1938. That moment in time is officially observed throughout the country but businesses and official places are not closed for the day. However, do not be surprised if you are on the street, you hear a loud boom and all of a sudden people and traffic stop on the sidewalks and streets for a moment of silence in observance of this event. ====Religious holidays==== {{ramadandates}} '''Ramadan''' (''Ramazan'' in Turkish) is a month-long time of fasting, prayer and celebration during which pious Muslims neither drink nor eat anything, even water, from sun up to sun down. Businesses, banks and official places are not closed during this time. In some parts of Turkey, such as most of [[Central Anatolia|inland]] and [[Eastern Anatolia|eastern]] locations as locals are more conservative than people in the rest of the country, it is considered to be bad taste to eat snacks or drink sodas in front of locals in public places or transport&mdash; to be completely on the safe side, watch how local folk act&mdash; but restaurants are usually open and it is no problem to eat in them as usual, though some restaurant owners use it as an opportunity for a much-needed vacation (or renovation) and shut their business completely for 30 days. However, you will unlikely see any closed establishment in big cities, central parts of the cities, and touristy towns of [[Aegean_Turkey|western]] and [[Mediterranean_Turkey|southern Turkey]]. At sunset, call for prayer and a cannon boom, fasting observers immediately sit down for ''iftar'', their first meal of the day. Banks, businesses and official places are not closed during this time. '''During Ramadan''', many city councils set up tent-like structures in the major squares of the cities that are for the needy, those in poverty or the elderly or handicapped, and are also served for passers-by, with warm meals during the sunset (''iftar''), free of charge (much like soup kitchens, but instead serving full meals). ''Iftar'' is a form of charity that is very rewarding especially when feeding someone who is needy. It was first practised by the Prophet Muhammad during the advent of Islam, for that purpose. Visitors are welcome to join but do not take advantage of it during the entire fasting period, just because it is free of charge. Immediately following ''Ramazan'' is the '''Eid-ul Fitr''', or the three-day national holiday of ''Ramazan Bayramı'', also called ''Şeker Bayramı'' (i.e. "Sugar" or more precisely "Candy Festival") during which banks, offices and businesses are closed and travel will be heavy. However, many restaurants, cafés and bars will be open. ''Kurban Bayrami'' (pronounced ''koor-BAHN bahy-rah-muh'') in Turkish, ('''Eid el-Adha''' in Arabic) or sacrifice holiday is the most important Islamic religious festival of the year. It lasts for several days and is a public holiday in Turkey. Almost everything will be closed during that time (many restaurants, cafes, bars and some small shops will be open). ''Kurban Bayrami'' is also the time of the '''annual pilgrimage ([[Hajj]]) to Mecca''', so both domestic and international travel is intense in Turkey at this time. If you are in smaller towns or villages you may even observe an animal, usually a goat but sometimes a cow, being slaughtered in a public place. The Turkish government has cracked down on these unofficial slaughterings so it is not as common as it once was. The dates of these religious festivals change according to the Muslim lunar calendar and thus occur 10-11 days (the exact difference between Gregorian and Lunar calendars is 10 days and 21 hr) earlier each year. According to this, * ''Şeker/Ramazan Bayramı'' * ''Kurban Bayramı'' continues for four days During both religious holidays, many cities provide '''public transport for free''' (this does not include privately owned minibuses, ''dolmuş''es, taxis, or inter-city buses). This depends on the place and time. For example, [[Istanbul]]'s public transport authority has provided free transport in Eid-ul Fitr, but not in Eid-ul Adhawhen its passengers had to pay a discounted rate. For some years, it was all free on both holidays, while in some others there was no discount at all. To be sure, check whether other passengers use a ticket/token or not. ===Climate=== The climate in Turkey is often (rather simplistically) described as Mediterranean, and this brings to mind the imagery of sunny, hot summers and warm seas. The reality is a bit more complicated than this, however. While most of the southern and western coasts of Turkey fit this description quite well, most of Turkey does not. In fact, the northern coasts are rainy enough to feature temperate rainforests, with the lush Euxine-Colchic forests stretching all the way from northern Istanbul (see [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Belgrad Forest]]) to Georgia. Meanwhile, the continental inland regions, especially in the east, can get ''brutally'' cold with temperatures approaching -40°C during the coldest nights of winter. Keeping this information in mind, it is very important to plan accordingly. ==== Black Sea coast ==== Areas on the Black Sea coastline experience an oceanic climate, similar to Western Europe, albeit the Black Sea coastline is quite a bit rainier. Summers are warm, but they feature regular heavy showers and therefore risk of floods and mudslides. Winter ranges from mild to cold but is generally chilly with lengthy periods of rain and brief breaks of sunshine. Snow in the region is occasional and falls most winters. Watch out if you decide to climb the mountains, they can feature intense snowfalls. ==== Marmara region ==== Areas on the coast of the Marmara Sea, including Istanbul, have an oceanic climate as well, however it might be more accurate to call it a dry-summer oceanic climate, similar to areas like the Pacific Northwest. Marmara's winters are possibly the hardest vacation sales pitch in the country, except perhaps continental locations in Eastern Turkey. While not brutally cold by any means, it is utterly miserable, as it experiences -although most locals might find the term suffers through more accurate- almost 20 days of rain a month. Summers are very warm in Istanbul and hot in southern Marmara, but unlike the Black Sea region, all of the region is relatively less rainy during summer, nevertheless with high levels of humidity. Snow in this region is occasional, but falls every winter, and is likely to affect road conditions, especially in relatively highland locations. ==== Aegean and Mediterranean coasts ==== Areas on the Mediterranean and Aegean coastlines have a typical Mediterranean climate, similar to the Central Valley in California, Adelaide in Australia, and of course the rest of the Mediterranean Basin. Summers are hot and dry, with temperatures reaching 35°C very regularly. Winters are mild with occasional rainstorms, which can get quite heavy. Snow in this region is rare, except in Gallipoli, where a few snowy periods are typical. ==== Inland regions ==== Inland regions generally have a continental climate, with hot, dry summers (expect around 30°C during the day, unless mentioned below) and cold, snowy winters (expect around 0°C during the day, unless mentioned below). The individual differences inside these regions are too many and too complicated to talk about here; however, there are general warnings that are useful. * Summers in the southeastern part of the country and near valleys inland from the Aegean coast can get very hot, with daytime averages near or above 35°C (95°F) * Winters in the eastern part of the country can get very cold as well, with nighttime temperatures regularly plunging below -18°C (0°F) * Spring is thunderstorm season in inland locations, and severe storms can definitely be a problem. ==Get in== ===Entry requirements=== [[File:Visa policy of Turkey.svg|thumb|375px|Visa requirements for Turkey. Countries in dark red or green have visa-free access, and countries in blue or cream can get an eVisa.]] Turkey is one of the few Middle Eastern countries that accept Israeli passport holders in their country. ====Visa-free==== [https://www.konsolosluk.gov.tr/VisaInfo/Index Turkish visa requirements] were relaxed in 2020. Ordinary passport holders of the countries below can enter Turkey visa-free for tourism and commerce, for up to 90 days unless a shorter period is stated. Your passport must be valid for 60 days beyond your maximum stay, so for most visitors that is 150 days beyond entry. That is just under five months: they politely ask for six months validity on entry but it is not a requirement. (Be prepared to argue this point with airline clerks.) So, no visa needed if you're from: * all EU and EEA countries, plus Monaco, Liechtenstein, Andorra and the Vatican, and the United Kingdom, '''except''' the Republic of Cyprus. For Latvia entry is only for 30 days. * other European countries are Albania (90 days), Bosnia and Herzegovina (90), Kosovo (90), Moldova (90), Montenegro (90), North Macedonia (90), Serbia (90), Ukraine (90), and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (no limit). * CIS countries: Russia (60), Belarus (30), Azerbaijan (30), Georgia (90), Kazakhstan (30), Kyrgyzstan (30), Mongolia (30), Tajikistan (30), Turkmenistan (30) and Uzbekistan (30); '''but not''' Armenia. * Central and South America and the Caribbean: Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica (30), Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, St Kitts and Nevis, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, and Venezuela. * Others are Brunei, Hong Kong (SAR Passports only), Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya (depends on age), Macau (30), Malaysia, Morocco, New Zealand, Qatar, Seychelles, Singapore, South Korea, Syria, Thailand (30) and Tunisia. A national ID card is acceptable instead of a passport from the EU and EEA countries of Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway (temporarily until the end of 2022; the card should have at least 6 months validity beyond the date of entry), Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland, plus Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, TR Northern Cyprus, and Ukraine. For Norwegians, Poles, and Ukrainians (and perhaps others), this is only possible if they are arriving directly from their home countries. Often only the newer, biometric versions of the ID cards are accepted in lieu of passports. It is ambiguous whether the card needs 90+60 days remaining validity on entry. For some of those countries, you may even enter on a passport/ID that is expired within the last five years. Never plan on doing this, as it is unlikely you would be allowed to leave the previous country or to board a flight or boat. There would have to be some special reason. "Fighting in Syria this last ten years" will not do, as the waiver specifically excludes arrivals from Iran, Iraq or Syria. The visa-free regime is only for tourist and commercial visits. Employment or study requires a visa from the Turkish consulate; e-visas are not available for this. ====E-Visa==== Other citizens need a visa, but most can get an e-visa [https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/ online]. Official prices are quoted in US dollars; for instance, it is US$20 for the US, US$60 for Australia and Canada, and no fee for Mexico, Malta and Kuwait. These rates (correct as of June 2022) are only for prior application. Beware third-party websites scalping you for more. An e-visa is '''valid for three months''' for passport holders of Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Canada, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Haiti, Hong Kong (BNO Passport), Jamaica, Maldives, Mexico, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, United Arab Emirates and United States. It is '''valid for one month''' from Armenia, Bahrain, China, Cyprus, East Timor, Fiji, Mauritius, Namibia, South Africa, Suriname, Taiwan, and Zambia. A longer list of nationalities can get an e-visa '''valid for one month''', with a big catch: you must already hold some other valid visa such as an EU Schengen, British or Irish visa. Those people will have jumped through various official hoops to get such a visa, so it is as if Turkey has expatriated its consular processes and doesn't need to closely vet such applicants. The rules vary - for some there is an age restriction, or even a requirement to arrive on Turkish Airlines. These additional countries are Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, Botswana, Burkino Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, India, Iraq, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Nepal, Nigeria, North Korea, Pakistan, Palestine, Philippines, Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Vietnam, Yemen, and Zimbabwe. ====Visa on arrival==== You can also get your visa on arrival at a Turkish airport, generally for $10-20 USD beyond what you would have paid for a e-Visa. Due to the way that Visas on arrival are priced, it is possible that the visa on arrival may cost less than an e-Visa if you pay in a currency other than US Dollars. For example, a visa on arrival for a Canadian citizen is $60 USD, but if you pay in Euro banknotes, it would cost $53 USD (as of June 2022 pricing and foreign exchange rates). The Visa on arrival is not a formal printed visa but stamps applied within your passport. The same conditions as for the e-visa apply. However, you may have to face down airline gate agents saying you cannot check-in without a visa when leaving for Turkey from another country. Use a bank card in the airport machines to avoid grief over acceptable bank notes. ===By plane=== Turkey's chief international gateway by air is '''Istanbul Airport''' ({{IATA|IST}}), opened in Oct 2018. This has excellent global connections, as the flag-carrier Turkish Airlines is vying with the Gulf carriers to capture traffic between Europe and the Middle- and Far-East; it also serves all major Turkish cities. It is 40 km northwest of downtown, reach the city by bus. The former main airport '''Atatürk closed in April 2019'''. Beware out-of-date road signage & maps, and crooked taxi drivers who may try to take you to what is now a demolition site. Another gateway is Istanbul's second airport, '''[http://www.sgairport.com/homepage Sabiha Gökçen Airport]''' ({{IATA|SAW}}), 50 km east of central Istanbul on the [[Istanbul/Asian Side|Asian side]]. It is particularly used by budget airlines such as [http://www.flypgs.com Pegasus]. The flight connections are not as extensive as Istanbul's, but they include the main Turkish cities, Ercan in Northern Cyprus, and several Gulf States. This airport is also convenient for Pendik railway station, for fast trains to Eskişehir, Ankara and Konya. There are shuttle buses to the airport from Taksim square. Beach resorts such as '''[[Antalya]], Bodrum''' and '''Dalaman''' have direct package-tour flights from Europe, including from minor and secondary airports. You may be able to book these as flight-only. There are occasional summer international flights direct to other Turkish cities such as Ankara, Adana and Izmir. But normally, reaching these means changing planes in Istanbul and clearing immigration, security and customs there. You need to allow the best part of two hours for this. Ask at your departure airport whether your bags are being checked through to your destination, or whether you need to pick them up in Istanbul. ===By train=== [[File:Train Istanbul Téhéran au Kurdistan.jpg|thumb|300px|The train from Ankara to Lake Van heading through the mountains of Eastern Turkey]] From Western Europe to Turkey by train, the route goes through Budapest then overnight from either Bucharest or Sofia to Istanbul. A sleeper train departs Sofia around 21:00 nightly, running via Plovdiv, Kapikule on the border, and Edirne, to terminate at Halkali at 07:40. TCDD run a connecting bus between Halkali and Sirkeci downtown, otherwise change to the frequent Marmaray cross-city train to reach central Istanbul. From June to Sept another sleeper, the Bosphor Express, departs Bucharest at 12:45, running via Ruse to Kapikule. Here it is coupled to the train from Sofia, and all passengers have to get out for border procedures, before continuing to Halkali. The westbound train leaves Halkali at 21:40 to reach Sofia by 09:00 and Bucharest by 19:00 next day. From October to May the through-train from Bucharest doesn't run, so you change trains at Ruse then again at Kapikule, with a similar timetable. Trains from further west (i.e. Budapest and Belgrade) don't connect with the trains to Turkey, so you need to spend a night in either Sofia or Bucharest. Second class single fares are about €20 from Sofia, €40 from Bucharest, plus couchette supplement of €10. The standard of accommodation aboard is similar to the Turkish domestic slow trains. [https://www.optimatours.de/ Optima Express] runs a '''car-train''' between [[Villach]] in [[Austria]] and Edirne about twice a week April-November, taking 33 hours. Departure days vary. This train enables motorists to avoid the tricky, tiring roads through the Balkans; however it is also open for passengers without cars. Optima don't offer tickets from intermediate stations such as Zagreb. In June 2019, another train ran daytime between Plovdiv in Bulgaria and Edirne. It was meant to be a permanent service, but lasted for just one weekend then they cancelled! It is not known if it will ever resume - it created a useful extra route between Bulgaria and Turkey, avoiding arrival / departure in the small hours. '''The Budapest-Belgrade line is closed until 2022''' for engineering works, and Belgrade-Sofia through-trains may not run in 2021, so it's better to reach Turkey via Bucharest. {{infobox|It's murder on that Orient Express|The [[Orient Express]] ran from 1883 between Paris and Constantinople, initially by multiple trains and ferries, with the first through-service in 1889. From the outset it used several routes, so Bucharest and Sofia can both claim to be on the original route. This is the train that famously got stuck in a blizzard near [[Çerkezköy]] for six days in 1929. Agatha Christie wasn't aboard that day, but in 1931 she suffered a 24-hour delay, giving her too much time to plot foul motives and deeds for the characters of her next novel. The full Orient Express ran to 1977 then was curtailed to Bucharest then to Budapest then to Vienna, and ran for the last time in 2007. Private [[tourist train]]s continue to use the name, best known being the Venice-Simplon Orient Express, which once or twice a year goes all the way to Istanbul. The name also lives on in a restaurant at Sirkeci.}} The new railway between Turkey and Georgia only carries freight, but passenger trains between Ankara, Kars, Tbilisi and Baku are expected to start after post-Covid normalization. Trains to Iran run once a week. From Istanbul you need to travel to Ankara on Saturday to be sure of catching the Sunday train to Tatvan. From there you cross the lake to Van, then join the Monday overnight train to Tabriz and Tehran. So that is three days in all. This service used to be called the "Trans-Asia Express" but they don't use that name now. Don't count on receiving a visa on arrival on the rail border crossings — see the section on visas [[#Entry requirements|above]]. There are no cross-border trains to any other country. For Greece, travel to Sofia then change for Thessaloniki. There is no foreseeable prospect of services to Armenia, Iraq, Syria, or the Azerbaijan exclave of Nakhchivan. ===By car=== From [[Central Europe]], getting to Turkey is not too difficult. In any case you'll need your International Insurance Card (Green Card). Pay attention to "TR" not being cancelled and be sure your insurance is valid for the Asian part of Turkey, too. Otherwise you will have to buy Turkish car insurance separately. In any case, Turkish customs will make an entry into your passport stating when the car (and thus you) have to leave Turkey again. A [[Carnet de Passage|carnet de passage]] is not necessary unless you intend to move on to [[Iran]], which requires you to have one. Foreign driver's licences are valid for up to 6 months beyond the date of entry. The regulations aren't entirely clear on the validity of licences from ''which'' countries, but it's safe to assume those issued by the parties to the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (most of the European countries and many others elsewhere; check the list at the end of [https://www.nvi.gov.tr/ssss-surucu-belgesi this official webpage]) are acceptable, at the very least. If unsure, obtain an international driving permit before setting out. Major roads [[Driving in Europe|from '''Europe''']] are: * '''E80''' enters Turkey at Kapıkule border gate (west of [[Edirne]], east of [[Svilengrad]]) from [[Bulgaria]] * '''E87''' enters Turkey at Dereköy border gate (north of [[Kırklareli]], south of [[Malko Tarnovo]]) from Bulgaria * '''E90''' enters Turkey at İpsala border gate (west of [[Keşan]], east of [[Alexandroupolis]]) from [[Greece]] And see "By train" above for the '''car-train''' between Villach in Austria and Edirne. The former EuroTurk car-train from Bonn no longer runs. Major roads from the '''Middle East''' enter Turkey at numerous border gates around [[Antakya]] (Antioch), from [[Syria]]n cities such as [[Aleppo]] and [[Latakia]], Habur border gate (south of [[Silopi]], north of [[Zakho]]) from [[Iraq]], and Gürbulak/Bazergan border gate (east of [[Doğubayazıt]], west of [[Maku]]) from [[Iran]]. Major roads from the '''Caucasus''' enter Turkey at [[Sarpi|Sarp/Sarpi]] border gate (south of [[Batumi]]) and Türkgözü border gate (north of [[Ardahan]], south of [[Akhaltsikhe]]) from [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]]. Since 1993, the border with [[Armenia]] has been closed, thus it's impossible to cross into Turkey through Armenia. Various smaller border posts with nearly all of the neighbouring countries also exist; they might be closed at night, or have connecting roads not in an as good condition as those listed above. During holidays these border gates, particularly those linking to the European countries, may be extremely congested at times. Especially during the summer many Turks who live in Germany drive back home and this creates huge lines at the border. === By bus=== ====Europe==== From [[Bucharest]] there is a daily bus to Istanbul at 16:00 for RON125. There are also several daily buses from [[Constanta]], [[Romania]] and from [[Sofia]], [[Bulgaria]] and from there you can get connections to the major cities of Europe. Another possibility is the bus from [[Athens]] in [[Greece]] via [[Thessaloniki]]. You may also find smaller bus companies offering connections to other countries in the Balkans. A couple of Turkish bus companies operate buses between Sofia and Istanbul. These buses typically stop at various cities along the way. A direct bus service connects [[Odessa]], [[Ukraine]] with [[Istanbul]] once a week for 1,000&nbsp;грн (about €40) (2015). ====Georgia==== There are several border points between Turkey and [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], in particular in [[Batumi]] and [[Tbilisi]]. You may have to change at the border, but should be able to find direct buses from Istanbul to Batumi, Tbilisi and Baku in Azerbaijan. ====Iraq==== Bus companies also connect [[Erbil]] to the Turkish cities of [[Diyarbakır]] (10–15 hours) and [[Istanbul]] (36–48 hours). The list of companies here is incomplete; there are at least two other Turkish companies running buses from Erbil to cities in Turkey - look around for flyers on Iskan Road in Erbil. Arrival time depends on border formalities. *'''Cizre Nuh''' (Tel Erbil: [tel:0750&#x20;340&#x20;47&#x20;73 0750 340 47 73]) runs everyday at 15:30 from the New City Mall, 60m Road to Istanbul ($100) via Silopi ($40) Diyarbakır and other cities in between. Tickets can be bought at the New City Mall, Flyaway on Barzani Namir and at a phone shop on Shekhi Choly close to the Bazaar. *'''Can Diyarbakir''' (Tel Erbil: [tel:0750&#x20;895&#x20;62&#x20;17-18-19 0750 895 62 17-18-19]) leaves daily from Family Mall on 100mt Road to Istanbul via [[Ankara]], Diyarbakır and other cities in between. *'''Best Van''' runs from Ainkawa Road in Erbil to Istanbul via [[Adana]], [[Aksaray]], Ankara (departure at 14:00) and Diyarbakır (departure at 16:00, via [[Hasankeyf]] and [[Batman]]). The bus back from Diyarbakır to Erbil departs at 11:00. ====Iran==== There is a direct bus to [[Istanbul]] from [[Teheran]] in [[Iran]] which takes approx 48hr and costs USD$35 for a one-way ticket between Istanbul or Ankara and Tehran. *[[Dogubeyazit]]/[[Bazerghan]] This Turkey/Iran border crossing is easily (and quickly) done by public transport. Take a bus to [[Bazerghan]] and a shared taxi to the border (US$2-3). Cross the border stretch per pedes and catch a frequent minibus (~5 TL, 15 minutes) to [[Dogubeyazit]]. Check the security situation in the region, due to the unsolved PKK conflict. *There are also buses from [[Van]] to [[Urmia]] crossing the Turkey/Iran border at Esendere/Sero. The buses cost ~€13 and it takes more than 6 hr to finish the 300 km path. This is because of the poor roads, harsh snowy conditions during the winter and also many military checkpoints because of security reasons concerning the PKK. This southern route is less frequent than the northern [[Dogubeyazit]]/[[Bazerghan]], as it is much slower but therefore a scenic mountainous route. Make sure you get a clear idea about exchange rates if you want to change Turkish lira or rial as the official bank at the border does not exchange these currencies and you have to deal with the plentiful black market. ====Syria==== If you're sure you want to go . . . assume it'll be a change of bus at the border. The through-buses for Damascus and Beirut haven't run for years. ===By boat=== '''To Istanbul''' there are [http://www.ukrferry.com Black Sea ferries] several times a week from Chornomorske, the main port for '''[[Odessa]]''' in Ukraine. They run all year and take vehicles. In bygone years ferries sailed between Istanbul and other Black Sea ports, and elsewhere in the Med, but they no longer do so. Cruise ships usually dock on Istanbul's European side, around Karaköy / Galataport close to the historic centre. These ships are on cruise itineraries, check with the operator whether a point-to-point journey ending in Istanbul is possible. Several Greek islands lie close to the Turkish '''Aegean coast''' and are linked by hydrofoil fast ferries, and also have westward ferries that ultimately reach Piraeus the port for Athens. Routes (some seasonal) include Bodrum-Kos, Çeşme-Chios, Datça-Rhodes & Symi, Kuşadası-Samos and Marmaris-Rhodes. From July 2019 a direct ferry sails between Turkey and '''mainland Greece''', run by [https://aegeanseaways.com Aegean Seaways] {{dead link|December 2020}}. This sails overnight M W F from Lavrion near [[Athens]] at 22:00 to reach [[Çeşme]] near [[Izmir]] in Turkey at 06:00, sailing back from Çeşme Tu Th Sa at 22:00 overnight. On Sunday the ferry sails from Lavrion at 11:00 to reach Çeşme at 19:00, then sails back near midnight to return to Lavrion at 08:00. It is intended to run this service year-round. There are ferry connections from Kyrenia in '''[[Northern Cyprus]]''' to [[Tasucu|Taşucu]], Mersin (near [[Adana]]) and [[Alanya]]. A year-round truckers ferry goes to Taşucu, while seasonal fast ferries depart to both Taşucu and Mersin. ==Get around== {{COVID-19 box|The requirement to have an [https://hayatevesigar.saglik.gov.tr/hes-eng.html HES Code] for COVID-19 tracking purposes for inter-city travel was repealed in March 2022.|lastedit=2022-06-16}} {{infobox|Camels|Despite the stereotype, camels are not native to Turkey, nor are they present in significant numbers. Most camels in the country serve the sole purpose of being tourist photo props, adorned with flowers and all kinds of ornaments. There are very few actually working camels, mostly lending their assistance to the even fewer ''Yörük'' nomads during their seasonal migrations through the Taurus Mountains flanking the southern coast. However, this wasn't always necessarily so. Countless camel trains once roamed the trade routes across the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman lands]] from the Arabian deserts and the eastern frontier well into Europe. Their legacy lives on in the popularity of camel wrestling in the towns near the Aegean coast, and perhaps among other locations in the name of a particularly steep climb on the approach to Istanbul, near Büyükçekmece in the [[Istanbul/Western Suburbs|western outskirts]] of the city — the ''Devebağırtan'', "where the camel screams". While the caravan trail has long been replaced by a roaring highway, the vehicles equipped with every modern appliance still have to remarkably gear down on the ascent.}} ===By plane=== By European standards, Turkey is a huge country, with mountains impeding the highways and railways, so domestic air travel is well-developed. Especially on routes to Istanbul it's also very competitive, with [http://www.turkishairlines.com/ Turkish Airlines], and low-cost companies Anadolujet (part of Turkish Airlines), [http://www.flypgs.com/EN/ Pegasus Airlines] and [http://www.sunexpress.com/ Sunexpress Airlines] fighting for your custom. They operate flights from Izmir and Antalya regions to the Eastern and Black Sea regions. There are flights between Istanbul and Ankara hourly; Izmir and Adana have several flights a day to Istanbul (both IST and SAW) and Ankara, and every city has at least a daily flight. Regional airports usually have a connecting ''Havaş'' bus to the city centre, which will wait, within reason, for incoming flights. Buses and minibuses also fan out from the airports to other nearby towns. ===By bus=== [[File:AŞTİ üst kattan.JPG|thumb|Ankara Central bus terminal]] Turkey has a very good long-distance bus network with air-conditioned buses, reserved seats and generally good-quality service, at least with the major operators. There are now quite a number of companies providing more comfortable buses with 2 + 1 seats per row. Standard buses, however, have seats narrower than those of economy class on aircraft. Buses are often crowded and smoking is prohibited. Go to the Otogar (bus station) in any of the major cities and you can find a bus to almost any destination departing within half an hour, or a couple of hours at the most. Buses are staffed by drivers and a number of assistants. During the ride you will be offered free drinks, a bite or two, and stops will be made every 2½ hr or so at well-stocked road restaurants. The further east you travel, the less frequent buses will be, but even places as far as Dogubeyazit or Van will have regular services to many places hundreds of kilometres away. Only the smallest towns do not have a bus straight to Istanbul or Izmir at least once every two days. The four biggest bus companies are: * [http://www.metroturizm.com.tr Metro Bus] * [https://www.pamukkale.com.tr Pamukkale] * [https://www.ulusoy.com.tr Ulusoy] * [http://www.kamilkoc.com.tr Kamil Koç] Although, even the smallest company can nowadays be booked via a streamlined website of that bus company. All of them demand a Turkish phone number, but you might just fill in a fake one starting with "539" or so. But the email address should work, to get the ticket. All companies accept foreign passengers and passports. In high season it might make sense to book ahead&mdash;just check out the situation a couple of days ahead online. You can also use websites that accumulate all the connections, like [https://www.obilet.com obilet] or [https://www.busbud.com/ busbud]&mdash;check both, they have different companies. Buses are reliable and will pick you up&mdash;remember Istanbul has at least 3 bus stations. Otherwise, '''bus tickets''' can also be bought inside of bus terminals. Often checking out several ticket booths will give you a better price, since some specialize on certain bus companies and others do not. Be careful, scammers will be waiting for you in and before bus stations, and some may assist you in buying a ticket to a bus that won't depart in the next two hours. Sometimes there simply is no other bus, but on other occasions you will be sitting there while other buses with the same destination start well ahead. If you have some time to spare: check the departure (and arrival) times of other companies, that may save you time overall. Still, if you indicate you really want to leave ''now'' (use phrases like "hemen" or "şimdi", or "acelem var" - I am in a hurry ), people will realize you are in hurry, and off you go on the next bus departing for your destination. If you have several operators to choose from, ask for the number of seats in the buses you compare. Roughly, a larger capacity implies a greater comfort (all bus-seats have approximately the same leg-room, but larger 48-seat buses are certainly more comfortable than a 15-seat Dolmuş, which may be considered a 'bus' by the company selling the seat). Also, the bus company with the largest sign is usually the one with the most buses and routes. If possible, ask other travellers you meet about their experiences with different operators: even big operators have different standards of service, and even with the same operator the standards may vary from region to region. Don't be surprised if halfway to some strange and far-off destination you are asked out of the bus (your luggage will often be already standing next to it) and transferred to another. The other bus will "buy" you, and will bring you to the destination. This may even happen for 'direct' or 'non-stop' tickets. Sometimes long-haul bus lines will leave you stranded on some ring-road around a city, rather than bringing you to the center. That can be annoying. Inquire ahead (and hope they don't lie). On the other hand, many companies will have "servis aracı" or service vehicles to the center, when the Otogar is on the periphery of a city, as they nowadays often are. In some cities these service vehicles are used by many companies combined, and a fleet of them, to different parts of the metropolis, will be waiting. The company may also choose to combine the passengers of multiple buses; meaning that you may have to wait until another bus or two arrives before departing. Keep your ticket ready as proof you were on a bus (though most of these services are run on good faith). In some cities (including Ankara, excluding Istanbul), the municipality have prohibited the use of service buses due to their effect on traffic. In that case, you might have to take a public bus or metro to get to your destination. One should probably avoid using taxis (at least departing from the Otogar) since they usually tend to abuse their monopolistic position by refusing to go to closer destinations, behaving rudely towards the passenger, charging on the night tariff, etc. If you have to take a taxi, it is usually suggested that you do it from outside the bus terminal. Seating within buses is partly directed by the "koltuk numarası" or seat number on your ticket, partly by the ritualistic seating of women next to women, couples together and so forth. So don't be too annoyed if you are required to give up your seat. In general, as a foreigner, you will have the better seat much of the time. It is often easiest to take a seat in the back, whatever the number of your koltuk, and not be bothered for much of the ride. This is particularly true if you travel alone, and want to keep it that way, even though the last row may be reserved for the driver-off-duty, who wants to sleep. And remember: many buses pick up short-track fare along the ride, and park them in the last two or three rows. The back of the bus may be more noisy than the front, since that is where the engine is located. If you have a bicycle it will be transported free of extra charge. In most buses it fits in the luggage area of the bus. Make sure you have the tools to fold your bike as small as possible (height matters most) '''Fez Bus'''. This is another alternative, a Hop on hop off travel network that links [[Istanbul]] to the most popular tourist destinations in western Turkey, and a few other destinations. The buses runs hostel to hostel and have an English speaking tour leader on board. The pass can be purchased for a few days or all summer. Departures are every other day. More expensive than local buses, but could be far less hassle, and offers a different experience. The main office in Istanbul is in Sultanahmet next to the Orient Youth Hostel on Yeni Akbiyik Cd. [http://www.feztravel.com/] ===By train=== [[File:HT80101.jpg|thumb|300px|The ''yüksek hızlı tren'' speeds across Anatolia]] Mainline train services in Turkey fall into three categories: i) very fast and modern; ii) slow and scenic; and iii) suspended long-term for rebuilding or for other reasons. The train operator is TCDD, Turkish Republic State Railways, visit their [http://www.tcddtasimacilik.gov.tr/ website] for timetables, fares and reservations. The trains are inexpensive, but trains often sell out. See below for how to buy tickets. Most cities in Turkey have a rail connection of some sort, but not the Mediterranean and Aegean holiday resorts, which have been built from the late 20th century and are hemmed in by mountains. ([[Kuşadası]] is the exception, being close to Selçuk on the line between Izmir and [[Pamukkale]].) For some destinations, connecting buses meet the trains, eg at Eskişehir for [[Bursa]], and at Konya for [[Antalya]] and [[Alanya]]. The main cities also have metro and suburban lines, described on those cities’ pages. The very fast, modern trains are called '''YHT: ''yüksek hızlı tren''.''' These serve [[Istanbul]], [[Eskişehir]], [[Ankara]], [[Konya]] and [[Karaman]]. They are clean, comfortable and modern; fares are low and reservations are compulsory. They run on new, dedicated track at up to 300 km/h so they keep to time. Thus, from Istanbul it’s under 5 hours to Ankara (8 per day, standard single about €20), and likewise 5 hours to Konya (3 per day). Because journey times are short, YHT trains only run daytime, and have only snack-catering. On-train announcements in English forbid “smoking, alcohol, smelly food and peanuts.” The smoke-free and alcohol-free rules are enforced, it’s unclear how zealous they are about peanuts. Between the cities, YHTs make a few momentary intermediate stops. The only one likely to be relevant to visitors is Eryaman, as an interchange with the Ankara suburban system. The YHT network is gradually extending: routes under construction are from Ankara towards Kars, from Karaman towards Adana, and from Istanbul towards Edirne. The long-term strategy is to create a high-speed, high-capacity passenger and freight route from Edirne on the western border through to Kars in the east. But where the YHT services terminate, the line closures and disruptions immediately begin, as Turkey’s Ottoman-era railways are upgraded for the 21st century. The main closures (as at 2021) are from Adana east to Gaziantep, and between Izmir and Bandirma (for the Istanbul ferry). '''Conventional trains''' are slow and scenic, with the emphasis on slow: most run overnight, with journeys from Ankara to eastern cities taking 24 hours. They are infrequent, at best daily, sometimes only one or two per week. The typical train set includes a sleeping car (''yataklı vagon''), a couchette car (''kuşetli''), and three open saloons (layout is single row-aisle-double row), plus a buffet that may or may not have any food and may or may not honour your payment card, so plan on bringing cash and your own food. How clean and comfortable the trains are depends on how busy: at quiet times they are fine, but when crowded they soon become filthy. (Always carry your own toilet-roll and hand-wipes.) They are difficult for anyone with impaired mobility to use, and station re-building makes access worse. Nominally these trains are non-smoking, but there’s often a smell of tobacco smoke aboard. They are diesel-hauled and run on single track: on straight level sections they can rattle along at 100 km/h, but in the mountains they plod up steep gradients and round tight bends. So they generally start on time but become delayed along the route — often for several hours on long-haul routes; settle on a relaxed schedule for the successive steps of your trip. '''Tourist trains''' operated by TCDD run several long-distance routes, e.g. Ankara to Kars. These cost about twice the normal fare; they make a few 2-3 hour stops for tourist excursions, so the total running time is a little longer. You're tied to the tourist itinerary without flexibility of stopover. The accommodation is the same as on conventional trains: indeed the rolling stock has been provided by pulling sleeping cars off the conventional trains, so the travel experience on these has been degraded. A private tourist train is '''Cappadocia Express''', expected to launch in 2022: it will run overnight from Istanbul to Kayseri in luxury sleeping cars then bus tourists to Cappadocia National Park. It's aimed at the Japanese market but anyone will be able to book. Details are not yet announced but you can expect a hefty price. '''Buying tickets:''' Reservations are essential for YHT trains and recommended for other mainline services. YHT and standard mainline (''anahat'') trains are best booked via the [https://ebilet.tcddtasimacilik.gov.tr TCDD website]. International trains (''uluslararası'') can be booked by other methods (below) but not via the website; and regional (''bölgesel'') trains are not bookable. TCDD replacement buses are considered trains, and bookable (or not) on the same basis. Consult the timetable first, for the latest on timings and disruptions, but beware that timetable and reservations system sometimes give different days of running for some services, for no discernable reason. The timetable only lists the main stations, where the train waits for about ten minutes, and you'll just have time to dash to the station kiosk and replenish your food supplies. The trains also stop momentarily at many little wayside halts, where sometimes food vendors will hop on. Then to buy your ticket, move to the [https://ebilet.tcddtasimacilik.gov.tr reservation system], but this only opens 15 to 30 days in advance – look further ahead and it will seem like there aren’t any trains. Pick your preferred train service and seat or berth, whereupon the system will display the price and give you the choice of immediate purchase, or of holding the option for a few days. Immediately note your confirmation number, and print your ticket at home whenever convenient: it doesn’t need validating at the station. It’s unclear whether a soft ticket on your phone is acceptable without validation. The '''[[Rail_travel_in_Europe#Inter Rail|Inter Rail Global Pass]]''' and '''[[Rail_travel_in_Europe#Balkan Flexipass|Balkan Flexipass]]''' are valid for all trains within Turkey and the trains to & from Europe, but you may still need a seat reservation. TCDD also offer discounts for those under 26 (''genç bilet'', whether or not you’re a student) and for those over 60 (''yaşlı bilet''). Check their website for other discount offers, but usually these are aimed at commuters and others making multiple repeat journeys. Tickets can also be bought from the stations (either at the counter, or from self-service kiosks), from travel agents, or from PTT post offices. The main stations (including Sirkeci) accept credit cards and can book you onto any bookable train, but they’re unlikely to accept non-Turkish cash. (And nowadays you may struggle to find a money-changer, as they’re replaced by ATMs.) Advance reservations are strongly recommended during summer, on Fridays and Sundays, and around public holidays and religious festivals. Of course you may be able to get a reservation for immediate departure, and the non-YHT trains usually have non-bookable seats, and a scrummage on the platform to claim them. Bear in mind that the main stations may involve a queue for security just to get into the station hall, then another queue for tickets, then a further queue for security and document-check to get onto the platform. You can’t just rock up and jump on. ===By car=== [[File:Fatih_Sultan_Mehmet_Bridge_panorama.jpg|thumb|400px|The Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, a part of the Turkish motorway system, spans over the Bosphorus in [[Istanbul]], and connects Europe and Asia.]] Like all of its neighbours, except [[Cyprus]] off its southern coast, '''driving is on the right side''' of the road in Turkey. Driving in Turkey is usually a '''tense experience'''. The local drivers are often badly trained and sometimes reckless, particularly near and within the larger cities and in the [[Southeastern Anatolia|southeast]]. However, the road manners are not entirely different than in the Balkans or parts of Mediterranean Europe, and are a whole lot easier to negotiate than in, say, [[South Asia]]. Regardless, '''never''' assume the next driver will stick to any rules you would expect, e.g. flash when they are about to change the lane or turn, or give way when they really should. So, always drive defensively. Having received generous funding from the government in the first two decades of the 2000s, most '''highways''' in the country are of '''quite good quality''', often dual carriageways with wide alignments and hard shoulders. Also smaller roads can be expected to be free of pot holes. Hence, driving at night is not an issue like in many eastern European countries where corruption prevents proper road quality. It is illegal to use a '''mobile phone while driving'''. Maximum permitted '''amount of alcohol''' in blood for drivers is 0.05 mg per ml (0.05%), similar to most European countries. A pint of beer enjoyed right before driving might get your licence temporarily confiscated in case of police checks. A 2019 law has made '''smoking inside a car''' by any of the occupants a fineable offence, but enforcement is sporadic. The use of '''seat belts''' both at the front and back line is obligatory, but, although failing to use one carries a penalty, this is not always adhered to by locals, including the drivers themselves. Unless stated otherwise, the '''speed limit''' for automobiles is 50 km/h and 70 km/h on single and dual carriageways, respectively, within inhabited locations, 90 km/h and 110 km/h on single and dual carriageways elsewhere, and 130 km/h on motorways, except O-5, O-6, O-7, O-21 (Ankara–Niğde section), and O-33, where it is 140 km/h. '''Speed traps''', both stationary and mobile concealed within police cars, are common, particularly in the northwest. By law, they are always indicated within the last kilometre or so, but these signs are sometimes tiny and easy to miss. Watch out for speed bumps as they might not always be indicated, especially around cities. Also, pay attention to one way lanes or prohibited road access—Turkey uses '''traffic spikes''' which block a certain direction. It's best to refrain from pulling up in signposted '''no parking zones'''. Not that the fines are very hefty, but towing is possible. In case that happens, expect little official information to whereabouts of your car, and be ready for a lot of searching in dismal parking lots, usually out in the suburbs. Since the refugee crisis started in 2015, and the coup attempt in 2016, any significant Turkish city has '''checkpoints''' on the approaching highways, where cars may be indiscriminately stopped for document checks (IDs, driver licenses, car registration & insurance); these might be accompanied by sobriety checks especially during weekend nights. Getting stopped by law enforcement every so often apparently without any wrongdoing can be off-putting but is the general procedure. Turkish '''road signs''' are almost identical to the ones used in Europe, and differences are often insignificant. The place names written on green background lead to motorways (which you should pay a toll, unless it is a ring road around or within a city); on blue background means other highways; on white background means rural roads (or a road inside a city under the responsibility of city councils); and on brown background indicates the road leads to a place of tourist interest, such as an ancient site (these signs used to be on yellow background previously, so still there is a chance of unreplaced yellow signs existing here and there). These signs are sometimes not standardized. '''Roundabouts''' as understood internationally have started to appear in the latter half of the 2010s or so. As such, most Turkish drivers are yet to have a grasp of how to use them (with the glaring exception of those in [[Muğla]]), despite the (often huge) signs reminding them of the basic "give way to those already within" rule, and act on assumptions on which approach should have priority — ''always'' proceed with caution. Most intercity highways avoid city centres by circling around them. If you'd like to drive into the centre for shopping, dining, and the like, follow the signposts saying ''Şehir Merkezi'', which are usually on white background, and are accompanied by no further translations though you can still spot some old signs saying "Centrum" besides ''Şehir Merkezi''. City centres typically have two or more entrances/exits from the '''ringroads''' that surround them. As Turkey uses the '''[[Metric and Imperial equivalents|metric system]]''', all distances on the signboards are in kilometres, unless otherwise stated (such as metres, but never in miles). [[Winter driving|In winter]], it's not uncommon that many roads, including the major motorways near the sea level, are subject to '''closures due to heavy snow''', which may take hours to clear – or days, particularly in the east. See also the [[#Driving and road safety]] section below. ====Motorways==== [[File:Motorway_Map_of_Turkey_(revised).png|thumb|400px|Map of the Turkish motorways: those marked in red are in use, the others are in construction or planning phases]] There are no fees to use the highways except intercity motorways (''otoyol''). While Turkish highways vary widely in quality and size, the toll motorways mostly have three or four lanes and are very smooth and fast. Motorways are explicitly signed with distinct green signs and given road numbers prefixed with the letter '''O'''. The motorway network consists of the routes stretching out to the west, south and east from [[Istanbul]] (respectively towards [[Edirne]], [[Izmir]] via [[Bursa]], and all the way to [[Urfa]] in [[Southeastern Anatolia]] via [[Ankara]] and [[Adana]]), and an isolated stretch in [[Eastern Thrace]], crossing the Straits of Dardanelles by the Çanakkale 1915 Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in the world, to the east of [[Çanakkale]]. There are also mini-networks connected to the main one in [[Central Aegean]], fanning out of Izmir, and in Eastern [[Mediterranean Turkey|Mediterranean]] around Adana. Most motorways no longer have toll booths (two exceptions are the third bridge crossing the Bosphorus north of Istanbul and the bridge and motorway across the Gulf of İzmit to the direction of Bursa and Izmir, where you can still pay in cash) and instead have lanes automatically scanning the windowpane for the RFID stickers (''HGS'') while accessing and again exiting the motorway. They are easy to use and allow you to install as much liras as you need. To buy an HGS sticker, look for the service buildings at the major toll stations. They are also available in postoffices. ''KGS'' and ''OGS'', systems respectively using prepaid cards and tags, have been phased out. In addition to the distance driven, motorway fees also depend on the type of your vehicle. Edirne&ndash;Istanbul motorway&mdash;about 225&nbsp;km and the main entry point to Istanbul from [[Europe]]&mdash;costs 23.25 TL for a car (2022), for example. The newest additions to the network, such as the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge and the Osman Gazi Bridge (crossing the Bosphorus and the Gulf of İzmit, respectively) tend to be much more expensive per km. Check the up-to-date rates from the [https://www.kgm.gov.tr/Sayfalar/KGM/SiteEng/Root/Tolls.aspx website] of the General Directorate of Highways. ====Fuel and charging ==== [[File:Giresun - Şebinkarahisar Yolu.JPG|thumb|300px|You are better off keeping your tank full if you are driving on a road like this one, heading south towards [[Eastern Anatolia]] from [[Giresun]]]] Long among the countries with the most expensive fuel prices, the sharp drop of Turkish lira in late 2021 means fossil fuel in Turkey, hovering around 23 TL (about €1.26 or US$ 1.28) per litre as of late Jul 2022, is relatively cheaper now. LPG is even somewhat less damaging to your wallet. Petrol stations (''benzin istasyonu'') are frequent along the highways; most are open round the clock and accept credit cards (swipe machines are always in the service building, so you will have to get out of the car if that's the preferred payment method). Self-service is practically nonexistent. Almost all stations offer unleaded gasoline (''kurşunsuz benzin''), diesel (''dizel'' or ''motorin''), and LPG (liquid petroleum gas, ''LPG'' or ''otogaz''). However the rare fuel stations in remote villages often only have diesel, which is used for running agricultural machinery. So keep your gas tank topped up if you are going to stray away from the main roads. Also the petrol stations along the toll motorways are rarer than the other highways, usually only about every 40-50km or even further apart at places (the distance to the next station is usually indicated at the associated signage), so don't get too low on these roads either. Biofuels are very hard to come by for the casual driver. As of 2022 there are few electric vehicle charging stations, although covering the main intercity routes without running out of range, especially if you don't stray too far into the east, seems possible. [https://esarj.com/en/ Eşarj], [https://zes.net/en ZES], [https://www.voltrun.com/en/ Voltrun], and [http://www.dmaoto.com/en/ DMA] maintain relatively wide networks of charging stations; see their websites for the associated maps. Fuel stations will have free toilets and sometimes free çay. ====Repair shops==== In all cities and towns, there are repair shops, usually clustered together in complexes devoted to auto-repairing (rather incorrectly called ''sanayi sitesi'' or ''oto sanayi sitesi'' in Turkish, which means "industrial zone" and "auto-industrial zone" respectively), which are in the outskirts of the cities. The shops are specialized in parts of the vehicle (e.g., engine, electrical system or bodywork) and the level of skill in solving the problem varies, but the service is often quick. In cities and major towns, there are also big 3S businesses (sales, service, spare parts). These are more corporate than ''sanayi sitesi'' and are called ''oto plaza'', but may entail getting lined up in a queue, which may take days to process. ====Renting a car==== You may rent a car to get around Turkey from an international or local car rental agent. The main airports all have car rental desks. It is a good idea to rent a car locally to explore the region for a couple of days. However, doing all the kilometers of Turkey in a rental, can be exhausting and also expensive if you rent at one place and give it back at another one. Instead of wasting money on the common big car rental companies, '''local rental companies''' can be trusted and found through Google Maps. Contact them via WhatsApp. They will speak sufficient English to get the deal done. It is important to rely on their online rating and reviews (at Google Maps) to make sure to avoid the bad sheep, they will not want to jeopardise a good rating. Sometimes they will not even demand a deposit for their rental. However, make sure to understand whether the is a mileage limit, cleaning necessity or restriction on any roads. Contracts will usually be in Turkish with local companies. ===By dolmuş/minibus=== The ''minibüs'' is a small bus (sometimes a car) that will ride near-fixed routes. The ride may be from the periphery of a major city to the centre or within a city, but may also take three to four hours from one city to the next, when demand along the route is not sufficient to justify large buses. They sometimes make a detour to bring some old folks home or collect some extra heavy luggage. All during the journey people will get in and out (shout ''inecek var'' — “someone to get off” — to have it stop if you’re in). The driver tends to be named ''kaptan'' ("captain"), and some behave accordingly. The fare is collected all through the ride. In some, by a specially appointed passenger who will get a reduction, in others by a steward, who may get off halfway down the journey to pick up a dolmuş of the same company heading back, but mostly by the driver. If the driver collects, people hand money on from the back rows to the front, getting change back by the same route. On some stretches tickets are sold in advance, and things can get complicated if some of the passengers bought a ticket and others just sat inside waiting, for maybe half an hour, but without a ticket. The concept of ''dolmuş'' in Istanbul is different than the rest of Turkey. The vehicles are different and they take a maximum of 7 sitting passengers, with no standing. They do not tend to take passengers along the way, they depart immediately when they are full, and many of them operate 24 hours a day. The name derives from ''dolmak'', the verb for “to fill”, as they usually depart only when they are full, though they sometimes start at fixed hours, whatever the number. ===By boat=== [[File:Canakkale ferry.JPG|thumb|300px|Car ferry crossing the Straits of Dardanelles between [[Çanakkale]] and [[Eceabat]]]] '''Fast ferries''' (''hızlı feribot'') are fast (50-60km/hour) catamaran-type ferryboats that connect for instance [[Istanbul]] to the other side of the Marmara Sea. They can cut travel time dramatically. Again for instance leaving from the [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Yenikapı]] jetty in Istanbul (just a bit southwest of the Blue Mosque) you can be at the [[Bursa]] ''otogar'' in two hours, with less than an hour for the actual boat ride to [[Yalova]]. Similar services are operated to connect several parts of Istanbul with the Asian side, or places farther up the Bosporus. This type of fast ferry is increasingly seen all over the country wherever there is sufficient water. All inhabited Turkish islands have at least one daily sailing to the nearest mainland city or town during summer. During winter, expect less frequent departures, and disruptions in the schedule, due to the bad weather. Perhaps one of the best cruising grounds in the world, Turkey offers thousands of years of history, culture and civilization set against a stunning mountainous backdrop. The coastline is a mixture of wide gulfs, peaceful coves, shady beaches, uninhabited islands, small villages and bustling towns. Many of these locations are still only accessible by boat. Rare in the Mediterranean, one can still find some seclusion on a private charter in Turkey. Turkey has more coastline than any other Mediterranean country. The best way to see Turkey is from your own private yacht on your own schedule. Turkey offers some of the most exquisite yachts in the world, known as gulets. ===By bicycle=== Simply put, long distance [[cycling]] in Turkey is burdensome, mainly for two reasons: most of the country's terrain is hilly, and intercity bike paths are basically non-existent, albeit with some noteworthy exceptions (such as a section of [[EuroVelo cycling routes|EuroVelo 8]] across [[Central Aegean|Izmir Province]] or the lane down from [[Iskenderun#Arsuz|Arsuz]] towards the Syrian border). That being said, many cities nowadays have cycling lanes of varying shapes, lengths and interconnectedness (often along the esplanades of the coastal cities; these were mostly built with the purpose of a leisurely ride in mind than serious transportation) and most highways built after the turn of this century or so have quite wide and well surfaced shoulders, which can double as bicycle lanes. Even so, if you have already decided to give cycling a try in your Turkey trip, always stay as much on the right side of the roads as possible, avoid night cycling out of cities or along unlit roads, do not be surprised by drivers hooting at you, and do not go on the motorway, as it is forbidden. You could better prefer rural roads with much less traffic density, but then there is the problem of freely roaming sheepdogs, which can sometimes be [[Aggressive dogs|quite dangerous]]. The signage on the rural roads is also much more erratic, turning them into a labyrinth, in which it is easy to get lost even for non-local Turkish people without a detailed map. Air can be pumped into tyres at any petrol station without charge. Bicycle repair-shops are rare in cities and often in hard-to-locate places; motorcycle repair shops can be tried alternatively (however, they are very reluctant to repair a bicycle if they are already busy with their specialization). Many towns operate bike sharing programs, but they might be hard to use without Turkish language skills, or without a Turkish mobile number. Cycling in the areas where the motorized vehicles are restricted is enjoyable, but these areas are limited in number: Istanbul's [[Istanbul/Princes' Islands|Princes' Islands]] are a prime example. Ebikes with removable batteries are manufactured and sold at reasonable prices, but check first with your airline if you plan to fly with it. As elsewhere, ebikes with non-removable batteries are strictly forbidden on all flights. ===By thumb=== "Thumb up" is the [[hitchhiking]] gesture universally understood by the Turkish drivers. Avoid using any other signal which might be understood to be indicating a danger ahead. In addition to the thumb, having a signboard with the destination name certainly helps. Waiting for a ride generally doesn't exceed half an hour, though this dramatically varies depending on the density of traffic (like elsewhere) and the region; for example, it usually takes much longer to attract a ride in [[Mediterranean Turkey]] than in the [[Marmara_(region)|Marmara Region]]. The best hitchhiking spots are the crossroads with traffic lights, where bypass roads around a city and the road coming from the center intersect. Don’t be so away from the traffic lights so drivers would be slow enough to see you, make up their minds and stop, but be sufficiently away for traffic safety. Hitchhiking along the motorways is useless; no one will be slow enough to stop, and the pedestrians are forbidden anyway. Don’t start to hitchhike until you are well clear out of the city traffic which has the tendency to spread over the suburbs, and if not in hurry, avoid hitchhiking after nightfall, especially if you are a lone female traveler. Although most drivers have little if any intentions beyond to have a word or two during their long, alone journey, always watch out and avoid sleeping. On some occasions, you may not be able to attract a ride directly to your destination, so don’t refuse anyone offering a ride, which may come across as impolite, unless they are going down only a few kilometres away and are branching off into a road different from your destination in a coming fork. You may have to change several cars even on a route barely 100 km long, in each town after town. However, because of the enormous numbers of trucks carrying goods for the foreign markets, you may also score surprisingly long-haul trips. Some drivers may ask for money (“fee”) from you. Refuse and tell them that if you had money to waste, you would be on a bus, and not standing on the side of the road fully exposed to the elements. Drivers staying in the area may point downwards (to the road surface) or towards the direction they’re driving or flash their headlights while passing, indicating that they wouldn't make a good long-haul ride. Smile and/or wave your hand to return the courtesy. ===On foot=== Trail blazing is on the rise in Turkey lately and nowadays all Turkish regions have waymarked '''[[hiking]] trails''' of various lengths and shapes. Most of them follow a theme, such as connecting to the sites of an ancient civilization, retracing the footsteps of a historical figure or chasing the treats of a specific regional cuisine. The oldest, and the most popular trail is the [[Lycian Way]], which snakes its way over the mountains backing the [[Lycia|Turquoise Coast]] in the southwest. The [http://cultureroutesinturkey.com/ website of the Culture Routes Society] maintains an up-to-date list of the major hiking trails in the country. Guided tours along some of these trails, often involving hiking the most scenic sections and homestays in the villages, are offered by local travel agencies as well as those based in major cities. Inside the cities, there are white-, or rarely yellow-painted '''pedestrian crossings''' (zebra crossing) on the main streets, which are legally pedestrian-priority spots. However, for many drivers, they are little more than ornamental drawings on the road surface, so it is better to cross the streets at the traffic lights. Still, be sure all the cars stopped, because it is not unusual to see the drivers running the first few seconds of the red light. As a safer option, on wide avenues, there are also pedestrian overpasses and underground passages available. In narrow streets during the rush hour, you can cross the street anywhere and anytime, since the traffic moves only intermittently. Also along alleys in the old districts, you need not to worry about keeping on the sidewalk (which is usually too narrow and uneven to be of use anyway); you can walk well in the middle of the street, only to step aside when a car is coming. ==Talk== {{seealso|Turkish phrasebook}} The sole official language of Turkey is [[Turkish phrasebook|Turkish]]. Turkish is a Turkic language and its closest living relatives are other Turkic languages, which are spoken in southwestern, central and northern Asia, and to a lesser degree by significant communities in Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Turkish is an agglutinative language (forming words by adding suffixes to the roots), and the native speakers of the non-agglutinative ones, such as those in the Indo-European family, generally find it difficult to learn. For many centuries, Turkish was written in the Arabic script, evident in many historical texts and documents, but it has been written in the Latin alphabet since 1928. This means that Turkish is now written using the same letters as English, albeit with the addition of Çç, Ğğ, Iı, İi, Öö, Şş and Üü and the exclusions of Qq, Ww and Xx. [[Kurdish phrasebook|Kurdish]] is also spoken by an estimated 7-10% of the population, particularly in the southeast and the east. Language policy towards Kurdish has varied from brutal suppression to ignoration to government-funded broadcasts, and speaking Kurdish can be seen as a political statement. Several other languages exist, like Laz in the northeast (also spoken in adjacent Georgia), and in general people living near borders will often speak the language of the other side too. For example, people in the southeast, bordering Syria, often speak Arabic. Thanks to migration, even in rural areas most villages will have at least one person who has worked in Germany and can thus speak [[German phrasebook|German]]. The same goes for other Western European languages like Dutch/Flemish or French. Several waves of immigration from the [[Balkans]] mean there is also the possibility of coming across native Serbo-Croatian, Bulgarian, and Albanian speakers mainly in western Turkey. English is also increasingly popular among the younger generation. The "universities" that train pupils for a job in tourism pour out thousands of youngsters who want to practice their knowledge on the tourist, with varying degrees of fluency. Language universities produce students that nowadays are pretty good at their chosen language. ==See== {{seealso|Turkish TV series tourism}} As a general rule, most museums and sites of ancient cities in Turkey are '''closed on Mondays''' (even Hagia Sophia). The Turkish government offers a '''[https://muze.gov.tr museum pass]''' for many sights and museums in Turkey for 375 TL. Check out what is included, and buy it if it makes sense for you. Numerous sights can still be seen for free though. ===Ancient ruins and architectural heritage=== [[Image:Göbekli Tepe, Urfa.jpg|thumb|Turkey’s famous Göbekli Tepe.]] At the crossroads of civilizations, all parts of Turkey are full of a mindblowing number of ancient '''ruins'''. Although [[Çatalhöyük]] and [[Urfa|Göbekli Tepe]], respectively '''the earliest settlement''' and '''the earliest temple''' ever found to the date in Turkey precede them, the '''[[Hittites]]''' were the first indigenous people that rose to found a state in Anatolia. They left the proof of their existence at the ruins of [[Bogazkale|Hattuşaş]], their capital. The Hittites spoke an Indoeuropean language (the oldest one attested in writing) and were contemporaries of the "New Kingdom" of [[Ancient Egypt]], engaged in extensive correspondence and diplomacy with the eastern Mediterranean world. The '''[[Ancient Greece|ancient Greeks]]''' and the following '''[[Roman Empire|Romans]]''' left their mark mostly in the [[Aegean Turkey|Aegean]] and [[Mediterranean Turkey|Mediterranean Regions]], leaving behind the marble ruins of hundreds of '''cities, temples, and monuments'''. Some such as '''[[Ephesus]]''' and many others along the Aegean are largely restored to their former glory — many of these are on the checklist of most travellers to Turkey. Some more obscure ones off the beaten path such as [[Aphrodisias]] and [[Çavdarhisar|Aizanoi]] are also well worth visiting. In the meantime, some other indigenous peoples, such as the '''Lycians''', were carving beautiful '''tombs''' for their dearly departed ones onto the rocky hillsides. Many are fairly well preserved and can be seen all around [[Lycia]]. Legendary '''[[Troy (Turkey)|Troy]]''' stands out as an example of different civilizations literally living on the top of each other. While what is visible today is clearly Hellenistic, the place has its roots as Hittite ''Wilusa'', and later re-built many times over by the ancient Greeks. Perhaps the most unique "architectural" heritage in the country, some of the [[Cappadocia]]n '''cave houses and churches''' carved into "fairy chimneys" and '''underground cities''' (in a literal sense!) date back to early [[Christianity|Christians]] hiding from persecution. The successors of the Romans, the '''[[Byzantine Empire|Byzantines]]''' broke new ground with more ambitious projects, culminating in grand '''Hagia Sophia''' of [[Istanbul]], built in 537 and had the distinction of being the largest cathedral in the world for almost a thousand years. While a stray monastery or two dating back to the era can be found in almost any part of the country, most of the Byzantine heritage intact today is found in the [[Marmara (region)|Marmara Region]], especially in Istanbul, and in the area around [[Trabzon]] in the [[Eastern Karadeniz|far northeast]], which was the domain of the Empire of Trebizond, a rump Byzantine state that survived the Fall of Constantinople for about a decade. [[File:Турция, Конья - Холм Алаеддина 03.jpg|thumb|Seljuk ruins protected by a modern roof construction in [[Konya]]]] The '''Seljuks''' found the first Turkish state in Asia Minor and built most of their monuments, which incorporate '''large majestic portals''' and heavily delicate stonework reminiscent of some landmarks in parts of [[Asia]], in the major centres of the time in [[Eastern Anatolia|Eastern]] and [[Central Anatolia]], especially in [[Konya]], their capital. The '''[[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]]''', who had considered themselves as a Balkan state until their demise, built most of their landmarks in the [[Balkans]] and that region's extension within present-day Turkey, the [[Marmara (region)|Marmara Region]], just like the Byzantines, whom the Ottomans inspired to in so many ways. Most of the '''earlier Ottoman monuments''' were built in [[Bursa]], which have little Byzantine and comperatively large Seljuk influences. Later, the dynasty moved over to Europe — the major landmarks in [[Edirne]] exhibit some kind of "transitional" and fairly experimental style. However, it wasn't until the Fall of [[Istanbul|Constantinople]] that the Ottomans adopted Byzantine architecture almost full scale with some adjustments. Contrary to what may be assumed, though, the Ottoman imperial architecture possibly reached its zenith not in Istanbul, but in Edirne—in the form of '''Selimiye Mosque''', a work of '''[[Architecture#Mimar Sinan|Sinan]]''', the great Ottoman architect of the 16th century. The '''19th century''' brought back the Greek and Roman taste of architectural styles, so there was a huge explosion of '''neo-classical architecture''', as much fashionable in Turkey as in the much of the rest of the world at that time. The [[Istanbul/Galata|Galata]] side of Istanbul, [[Izmir]] (though unfortunately most of which was lost to the big fire of 1922), and numerous towns along the coasts, one most prominent and well preserved example being [[Ayvalık]], quickly filled with elegant neo-classical buildings. At the same time, people in the inland locations were favouring pleasant, more traditional, and less pretentious '''half-timbered whitewashed houses''', which form picturesque towns such as [[Safranbolu]], [[Ankara#Beypazarı|Beypazarı]], and [[Şirince]] in the northern, central, and western part of the country respectively. It was also this time beautiful and impressive '''wooden mansions''' of Istanbul's [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|seaside neighbourhoods]] and [[Istanbul/Princes' Islands|islands]] were built. Other contemporary trends of the epoch, such as '''Baroque''' and '''Rococo''', didn't make much inroads in Turkey, although there were some experiments of combining them into Islamic architecture, as can be seen at Ortaköy Mosque on the banks of the [[Istanbul/Bosphorus|Bosphorus]] along with some others. As the landscapes change the further east you go, so does the architectural heritage. The remote valleys and hilltops of [[Eastern Karadeniz]] and [[Eastern Anatolia]] are dotted with numerous '''medieval Georgian and Armenian churches and castles'''—some of which are nicely well preserved but not all were that lucky. The Armenian cathedral on [[Van|Akdamar Island]] of Lake Van and medieval [[Ani]] are two that lay somewhere on the midway between perfectly preserved and undergone total destruction, but both are absolutely must-sees if you've made your way to the east. For a change, [[Southeastern Anatolia]] features more '''[[Middle East]]-influenced architecture''', with '''arched courtyards''' and heavy usage of '''yellow stones with highly exquisite masonry'''. It's best seen in [[Urfa]], and especially in [[Mardin]] and nearby [[Midyat]]. Being on the crossroads of civilizations more often than not also means being their battleground. So it's no wonder why so many '''castles and citadels''' dot the landscape, both in towns and the countryside, coastal or inland. Most of the castles built throughout history are today the main attractions of the towns they are in. The '''20th century''' wasn't kind on Turkish cities. Due to the pressure caused by the high rates of rural to urban immigration, many historical neighbourhoods in the cities were knocked down in favour of soulless (and usually, drab ugly) apartment blocks, and the outskirts of the major cities transformed to shantytowns. Examples of '''modern architecture''' that could be considered a gem is rather few in Turkey. '''Steel-and-glass skyscrapers''', on the other hand, now steadily rise higher and higher in the major cities, one place where they form a distinctive skyline being the [[Istanbul/New City|business district]] of Istanbul, although hardly impressive or unique compared with the traditional skyline of [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Istanbul's Old City]]. ===Itineraries=== * [[Along the Troad Coast]] — ancient legends intertwine with beautiful landscapes and the deep blue Aegean Sea * [[Istanbul to Izmir]] — different options to travel between two of Turkey's major cities * [[Lycian Way]] — walk along the remotest section of the country's Mediterranean coast, past ancient cities, forgotten hamlets, and balmy pine forests ==Do== * '''Beaches''' line the entire Mediterranean coast, but those with well-developed resorts are between [[Alanya]] to the east and [[Kuşadası]] on the Aegean coast to the west. There are scores more small places that only locals head for, such as the [[Keşan|Gulf of Saros]], handy for Istanbul. The Marmara and Black Sea beaches are not worth seeking out. * '''Nargile''' (hooka or water pipe) &ndash; Once upon a time, the nargile, or Turkish water pipe, was the centre of Istanbul’s social and political life. Today some of the locals still consider it one of life’s great pleasures and is something interesting to try. * '''Hamam''' &ndash; A visit to a ''hamam'' or Turkish bath is an essential part of any trip to Turkey and is something you'll be sure to repeat before leaving. There is at least one historical ''hamam'' in each neighborhood of Istanbul and other large cities. Take care in selecting a hamam, as they can vary greatly in cleanliness. Most places will offer a scrubbing and/or a massage. Just being in the ''Hamam'' (as a sauna), is enough for seeing and experiencing the place, but the scrubbing is a great experience. The massage is not necessarily better than those found in western countries. Many hamams cater for tourists nowadays and are widely overpriced, mind them. A traditional and authentic hamam does not have to be expensive and certainly you would not pay in euros there. * '''Winter sports''' &ndash; Not what you might expect here, but the mountainous interior of Turkey has bitter-cold winters with reliable snow cover. Some popular resorts in the northwest are [[Uludağ]] near [[Bursa]], Kartepe near [[Izmit]], Kartalkaya near [[Bolu]] and [[Ilgaz National Park|Ilgaz]] near [[Kastamonu]]; in the northeast are Palandöken near [[Erzurum]] and Sarıkamış near [[Kars]]; and central is Erciyes near [[Kayseri]]. At Saklıkent near [[Antalya]] you're supposed to be able to ski in the morning then reach the Med for a swim in the afternoon, but its snow cover is brief and unreliable. * '''Watch football''' &ndash; Süper Lig is soccer's top tier in Turkey, with 16 teams playing August to May. Istanbul has six teams at this level and Ankara has two. The national team usually play home games at Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul. * '''Cycling''' &ndash; The premier race is the [https://www.tourofturkey.org.tr/ President's Tour of Turkey], held over a week in April. ==Buy== ===Money=== <!--When updating this chart, please also update the chart for Northern Cyprus, which also uses the TL.

Wikivoyage articles will use ''TL'' to denote the currency. The lira is divided into 100 kuruş (abbreviated kr). In 2005, Turkey dropped six zeroes from its currency, thus making each post-2005 lira worth one million pre-2005 lira (or so called "old lira"). Don't be confused if you see the currency symbolised YTL or ytl, standing for ''yeni lira''). Pre-2009 banknotes and coins (those bearing ''yeni lira'' and ''yeni kuruş'') are '''not''' legal tender, and can no longer be exchanged at banks. The new Turkish lira symbol, [[File:Turkish_lira_symbol_black.svg|10px|title=Turkish Lira Sign]], was created by the Central Bank in 2012 after a country-wide contest. Banknotes are in 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 TL denominations. Coins of 5, 10, 25 and 50 kuruş are legal tender. There's also a 1 TL coin. ====Currency exchange==== There are legal exchange offices in all cities and almost any town. Banks also exchange money, but they are not worth the hassle as they are usually crowded and do not give better rates than exchange offices. It can seem that Turkey has more currency exchange offices per-capita than anywhere else in the world, leading to fierce competition for exchange rates. This is due to uncertainty in the value of the Turkish lira, which results in residents regularly exchanging Turkish lira into more stable stores of values such as US Dollars and Euros. You can see the rates an office offers on the (usually electronic) boards located somewhere near its gate. To get the best rate, look for shops with the smallest difference between their buy and sell rates for a given currency pair (buy-sell spread). Euros and US dollars are the most useful currencies, with often less than a 1% buy-sell spread. But pounds sterling (good luck with getting any non-Bank of England notes deemed higher value than Monopoly money), Canadian dollars, Swiss francs, Japanese yen, Saudi riyals, and a number of other currencies are also not very hard to exchange for a good rate. Currency exchange offices typically do not charge a commission (unlike ATMs with Dynamic Currency Conversion services), with the notable exception of offices in airports. It is important to remember that most exchangers accept only banknotes, it can be very hard to exchange foreign coins. In some places, where there is a meaningful explanation for it, more uncommon currencies may also be exchanged, e.g. Australian dollars in [[Çanakkale]] where the annual Anzac WWI commemorations take place. As a general rule, if a place attracts many visitors from a country, then it is usually possible to exchange that country’s currency there. Tourism-oriented industries in tourism-oriented towns, as well as shops where big amounts of money change hands, like supermarkets, in most parts of the country, generally accept foreign currency (usually limited to Euro and American dollars only), but the rates they accept the currency are usually worse than those of exchange offices. Ask if they accept foreign currency. ====Credit cards==== Visa and MasterCard are widely accepted, American Express much less so. Most credit card users have to enter their PIN codes when using their cards if above a certain amount (250 TL). Older, magnetic card holders are excepted from this, but remember that, unlike some other places in Europe, salespeople haves the legal right to ask you to show a valid ID with a photo on to recognize that you are the owner of the card. ====ATMs==== Cash machines are scattered throughout the cities, concentrated in central parts. It is possible to draw Turkish lira (and sometimes US dollars or/and euros) from these ATMs with your foreign Visa, Mastercard or Maestro card (not necessarily a credit card). Any major town has at least one ATM. ATMs ask whether to provide instructions in English or in Turkish (and sometimes some other languages, too) as soon as you insert a foreign card (or a Turkish card which is not the operating bank’s own). In Turkey, two types of ATMs exist: dynamic currency conversion (DCC ATMs) advertising that they offer multiple currencies, and regular ATMs without DCC (only offering Turkish Lira and generally located next to a bank branch). DCC ATMs will charge extortionate currency exchange rates (markups of 5-10% or an excessive ATM fee) that are generally impossible to decline. Whenever possible, you should only use a regular ATM without DCC, as they will usually default back to your bank's currency conversion rate and markup (which is virtually always more favourable) and in many cases, will not even incur an ATM use surcharge. If a screen pops up offering you a currency conversion rate/markup, decline it. In central locations, you may encounter standalone buildings housing many ATMs, marketing themselves (using a logo) as being DCC ATMs or offering euros. These ATMs offer a [[Money#Dynamic_currency_conversion|direct currency conversion (DCC)]] into your home currency (€, US$, etc.), so you will then be charged in your home currency and not in Turkish Lira. This is best to avoid since the rates offered are considerably far worse than what your bank would charge you for the Turkish Lira you're about to withdraw. Wherever possible, you should use ATMs connected to bank branches that do not have a DCC logo, as these often do not charge commission or force DCC. Non-DCC ATMs for some banks may not even charge an ATM fee. Specific costs for ATM withdrawals depend on your foreign bank, but many ATMs in Turkey add a commission / fee on-top of the dispensed amount (even for US dollar and euro withdrawals), which is then together charged to you bank. In the following an overview of banks and charges: * Ziraat, HSBC: '''no ATM fee''' (as of 2021) * Halkbank: '''no ATM fee''' nor DCC offered * odeabank: '''no ATM fee''' nor DCC offered * Sekerbank: '''no ATM fee''' * TEB: 2.1% * Türkiye Bankasi: 2.9% * DenizBank and VakifBank: 3% * Garanti BBVA: 5% (as of 2021) * AKBank: 7.95% * QNB: US$5 ===Shopping=== '''Beware''': Always ask for the price ahead if it is not displayed anywhere, even if it is just for a ''çay''. It is an extremely common practice to overcharge tourists, oftentimes 5 to 10 times the price. Furthermore, it seems a common scheme to give the wrong change, especially to the absent-minded tourist. So, always have in mind what you are supposed to receive as change and double-check immediately. Besides that never hand over a large note just like that; sometimes the change is then given on a supposedly obtained smaller note and the merchant will insist on having just received a small note. Paying by credit card will not render you immune to short-change scams, as some vendors are often set up to charge in Euros and US Dollars in addition to Turkish liras, and some vendors will go as far as to charge you the price quoted in a different currency (i.e. by entering 100 EUR rather than 100 TL into the credit card terminal). Do your best to only use large banknotes at established, reputable businesses, and to pay in near-exact change where possible. Apart from classical tourist souvenirs like postcards and trinkets, here are a few of what you can bring back home from Turkey. *'''Leather clothing''' — Turkey is the biggest leather producer in the world, so the leather clothing is cheaper than elsewhere. Many shops in Laleli, Beyazıt, Mahmutpaşa districts of Istanbul (all around the tram line which goes through Sultanahmet Square) are specialized on leather. [[File:In Turkish carpet factory.jpg|thumb|Carpet manufacturing]] *'''Carpets and kilims''' — Many regions in Turkey produce handmade kilims and carpets. Though the symbols and figures differentiate depending on the region in which the carpet is produced, they are generally symbolic expressions based on ancient Anatolian religions and/or nomadic Turkic life which takes shape around shamanic beliefs more than 1,000 years ago. You can find shops specialized on handmade carpets and kilims in any major city, tourist spot and Sultanahmet Area. :You seriously cannot go anywhere in Turkey without someone trying to sell you a carpet. People will approach you on the street, engage in a little friendly conversation about where you're from, how do you like Turkey, and "would you like to come with me to my uncle's shop? It's just around the corner, and has the best authentic kilims." It can be irritating if you let it get to you, but remember that a large part of these people's economy comes from tourist's wallets so you can't blame them for trying. *'''Silk''' — Dresses and scarves. Although can be found in many parts of the country, silk fans should head for [[Bursa]] and before that, pick up basics of [[bargaining]]. *'''Earthenware''' — Handmade [[Cappadocia]]n pottery (amphoras, old-style plates, flowerpots etc.) are made of local salty clay. Salt content of clay, thanks to salt spray produced by the Salt Lake –which is the second largest lake in Turkey- in the heartland of Central Anatolia, is what makes local earthenware top quality. In some Cappadocian towns, it is possible to see how these artifacts are produced, or even to experience producing one, at the dedicated workshops. Tiles with classical Ottoman motives that are produced in [[Kütahya]] are also famous. *'''Turkish delight''' and '''Turkish coffee''' — If you like these during your Turkey trip, don’t forget to take a few packages back home. Available everywhere. A 454 gram box of standard Turkish delights costs 50 TL, while Turkish delights from premium brands (e.g. Hafız Mustafa 1864) go for around 400 TL/kg. Turkish coffee is best purchased from a local grocery store with listed prices; grocery stores and tourist-oriented stores generally use the same suppliers, but the latter charges a significant mark-up for the boutique experience and nicer packaging. *'''Honey''' — The pine honey (''çam balı'') of [[Marmaris]] is famous and has a much stronger taste and consistency than regular flower honeys. Although not easily available, if you can get your hands on it, don't miss the honey of Macahel valley, made out of flowers of a temperate rainforest almost completely out of human impact in the [[Eastern Karadeniz|far northeastern Black Sea Region]]. Nearby Anzer in the highlands is also famous for its honey, perhaps easier to obtain. The same region also features ''deli bal'' ("mad honey"), from the toxic rhododendron flowers, with hallucinogenic effects — overindulging in it may cause serious health complications. :Check your country's import regulations for agricultural products if you intend to take any amount of Turkish honey home. *'''Chestnut dessert''' — Made out of syrup and chestnuts grown on the foothills of Mt. [[Uludağ]], chestnut dessert (''kestane şekeri'') is a famous and tasty product of [[Bursa]]. There are many variations, such as chocolate coated ones. Chestnut dessert can be found in elsewhere, too, but relatively more expensive and in smaller packages. *'''Meerschaum souvenirs''' — Despite its name meaning “sea foam” which it resembles, meerschaum (''lületaşı'') is extracted only in one place in the world: landlocked [[Eskişehir]] province in the extreme northwest part of Central Anatolia Region. This rock, similar to gypsum at sight, is carved into smoking pipes and cigarette holders. It has a soft and creamy texture and makes for a great decorative item. Available at some shops in Eskişehir. *'''Castile (olive oil) soap''' — Natural, a silky touch on your skin, and a warm Mediterranean atmosphere in your bathroom. Absolutely cheaper than those to be found in Northern and Western Europe. Street markets in the [[Aegean_Turkey|Aegean Region]] and southern [[Marmara_(region)|Marmara Region]] is full of olive oil soap, almost all of which are handmade. Even some old folk in the Aegean Region is producing their castile soaps in the traditional way: during or just after the olive harvest, neighbours gather in yards around large boilers heated by wood fire, then lye derived from the wood ash is added to hot water and olive oil mix. Outside of the Aegean region, note that many tourist/souvenir shops are selling the same Olive oil soap bars found in supermarkets (especially in Istanbul), except taken out of their original packaging and repackaged more nicely. In cities out of the Aegean Region, natural olive oil soap can be found in shops specialized in olive and olive oil. Some of these shops are even offering ecological soaps: made of organic olive oil and sometimes with additions of organic essential oils. [[File:Evil Eye Decorations.jpg|thumb|The evil eye will watch over you at every corner in Turkey, and why not elsewhere, too?]] * '''Other soaps''' unique to Turkey are: laurel soaps (''defne sabunu'') which is produced mainly in [[Antakya]] (Antioch), soaps of [[Isparta]] enriched with rose oil which is produced abundantly in the area around Isparta, and ''bıttım sabunu'', a soap made out of the oil of seeds of a local variety of pistachio tree native to the mountains of [[Southeastern Anatolia|Southeastern Region]]. In [[Edirne]], soaps shaped as various fruits are produced. Not used for their lather, rather they make a good assortment when different “fruits” are placed in a basket on a table, they fill the air with their sweet scent as well. *'''Olive-based products apart from soap''' — Other olive-based products to give a try are olive oil shampoos, olive oil based eau de colognes and ''zeyşe'', abbreviation from the first syllables of ''zeytin şekeri'', a dessert similar to chestnut desserts, but made from olives. *And, of course, the ubiquitous '''evil eye''' (''nazar boncuğu'') — what else? ====Bargaining==== [[File:Aynali-carsi.jpg|thumb|At the Aynalı Çarşı bazaar in [[Çanakkale]]]] In Turkey, [[bargaining]] is a must — particularly in souvenir shops in touristy areas and carpet shops everywhere, where the customer is ''expected'' to bargain and therefore the initial price offer is often inflated. You can even try your hand for accommodation, particularly during off-season. During bargaining, don’t look so impressed and interested, and be patient. Since foreigners (especially Western people) aren’t expected to be good at bargaining, sellers are quick to supposedly reject any bargaining attempt, but be patient and wait, the price will fall! The mutually agreed price may be only valid for cash transactions, though, so for card payments it makes sense to let the shopkeeper know somewhere down the line what your preferred payment would be. ====VAT refund==== You can get a VAT refund if you are not a citizen or permanent resident of Turkey. Look for the blue “Tax-Free” sticker on the windowpane or entrance of the shops, these kind of shops are the only places you can get a VAT refund. Don’t forget to take the necessary papers from the shop that will enable you for a VAT reclaim when leaving Turkey. VAT Refund rates are 18% for purchases of Accessories, electronics, watches, sunglasses, cosmetics, porcelain/ceramics and homeware (over 118 TL), and 8% for Textiles and clothes, leather goods, carpets, shoes, bags, optics, books and food (over 108 TL). Although Turkey is in a customs union with the European Union for non-agricultural goods, there is not an initiative to abolish duty-free shops in the airports and border crossings unlike in the EU. ====Antique souvenirs==== Taking any antique (defined as something more than 100 years old) out of Turkey is subject to heavy restrictions or, in many cases, forbidden. If someone offers to sell you an antique, either you are in for a scam and offered an overpriced imitation or about to be a party to organized crime if you decide to purchase. ===Tipping=== In general, tipping is not considered obligatory. However, it is very common to leave a 5% to 10% tip in restaurants if you're satisfied with the service. At high-end restaurants a tip of 10-15% is customary. It is NOT possible to add tip to the credit card bill. It is very common amongst Turkish people to pay the bill with a credit card and leave the tip in cash or coins. Most waiters will bring your cash back in coins as much as possible, that's because Turkish people don't like to carry coins around and usually leave them at the table. Taxi drivers do not expect tips, but it is common practice to let them keep the change. If you insist on taking exact change back, ask for ''para üstü?'' (pronounced “pah-rah oos-too”, which means “change”). Driver will be reluctant to give it at first, but you will eventually succeed. If you are fortunate enough to try out a Turkish bath, it is customary to tip 15% of the total and split it up among all of the attendants. This is an important thing to keep in mind when tipping in Turkey, and will ensure your experience goes smoothly and is enjoyable. Supermarket cashiers usually round up the total sum to the next 5 kuruş if you pay in cash (the exact sum is extracted when paid by a credit card though). This is not a kind of involuntary tip, as the 2-3-4 kuruşes don’t go into their pockets. It is simply because they are not adequately supplied with enough 1 kuruş coins as it is very rare in circulation. So don’t be surprised if the change given to you is short of a few kuruşes from what should be given to you according to what the electronic board of the till says. It is totally okay to pay the exact sum if you have enough number of 1 kuruş coins. ==Eat== {{seealso|Middle Eastern cuisine}} [[File:AdanaKebap.JPG|thumb|''Adana kebap'', a skewer of minced meat spiced with chili and topped with ''pide'' bread, a speciality of [[Adana]]]] Turkish cuisine combines Mediterranean, Central Asian, Caucasian, and Arabic influences, and is extremely rich. Beef is the most important meat (lamb is also common but due to the Islamic taboo, pork is very hard to find although not illegal), and eggplant (aubergine), onion, lentil, bean, tomato, garlic, and cucumber are the primary vegetables. An abundance of spices is also used. The main staples are rice (''pilav''), bulgur wheat and bread, and dishes are typically cooked in vegetable oil or sometimes butter. There are many kinds of specialized restaurants to choose from, since most do not prepare or serve other kinds of food. Traditional Turkish restaurants serve meals daily prepared and stored in a bain-marie. The meals are at the entrance so you can easily see and choose. ''Kebapçı''s are restaurants specialized in many kinds of kebab. Some kebab restaurants serve alcohol (often denoted by the name ''ocakbaşı'') while others don't. There are subtypes like ''ciğerci'' (specialized in fried liver), ''Adana kebapçısı'' (chili kebab originally from the [[Adana|southern city]] it is named after) or ''İskender kebapçısı'' (slices of roasted beef in tomato and yogurt sauce, originally from [[Bursa]]). Fish restaurants typically serve ''meze'' (cold olive oil dishes) and rakı or wine. ''Dönerci''s are prevalent through country and serve ''döner'' kebab as a fast food. ''Köfteci''s are restaurants with meatballs (''köfte'') served as the main dish. Other fare that can be had at specialized joints include ''kokoreç'' (barbecued & spiced ruminant intestines), ''tantuni'' (finely minced lamb or chicken meat and vegetables sandwich), ''mantı'' (a.k.a. "Turkish ravioli" often in garlic yogurt sauce), ''gözleme'' (thin pancakes filled with meat, cheese or potato, often cooked over a traditional wood-fired oven), ''lahmacun'' (often denoted "Turkish pizza", minced meat, onion, and parsley on a thin, crunchy bread), ''pide'' (similar to ''lahmacun'', but with larger chunks of meat and perhaps cheese over a thicker bread base; likely etymologically related to 'pizza'), and ''çiğ köfte'' (a wrap of mushy bulgur wheat and fresh vegetables; the original recipe included uncooked meat — hence the name "raw meatball" — but most commonly vegan nowadays). ''Midye'' (mussels with spicy rice) is often a late night snack, available from [[street food|street stalls]] and enjoyed after a marathon of binge drinking. A full Turkish meal at kebab restaurant starts with a soup, often lentil soup (''mercimek çorbası''), and a set of ''meze'' appetizers featuring olives, cheese, pickles and a wide variety of small dishes. Meze can easily be made into a full meal, especially if they are consumed along with rakı. The main course is usually meat: a common dish type and Turkey's best known culinary export is '''kebab''' (''kebap''), grilled meat in various forms including the famous ''döner kebap'' (thin slices of meat shaved from a giant rotating spit) and ''şiş kebap'' (skewered meat), and a lot more others. ''Köfte'' (meatball) is a variation of the kebab. There are hundreds of kinds of ''köfte'' throughout Anatolia, but only about a dozen of them are known to the residents of the larger cities, like ''İnegöl köfte'', ''Dalyan köfte'', ''sulu köfte'' etc. Eating on the cheap is mostly done at kebab stands, which can be found everywhere in Istanbul and other major cities. For the equivalent of a couple dollars, you get a full loaf of bread sliced down the middle, filled with broiled meat, lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. For North Americans familiar with "donairs" wrapped in pita bread or wraps, you should look for the word ''dürüm'' or ''dürümcü'' on the windows of the kebab stands and ask for your kebab to be wrapped in a ''dürüm'' or ''lavaş'' bread depending on the region. ===Vegetarians=== Vegetarian restaurants are not common, and can be found only in very central parts of big cities and some of the tourist spots. However, every good restaurant offers vegetable dishes, and some of the restaurants offering traditional ''ev yemeği'' (“home food”) have olive-oil specialities which are vegetarian in content. The Aegean region, where all kinds of wild herbs are eaten as main meals, either cooked or raw and dressed with olive oil, is really easy for vegetarian travel but the same is not true for everywhere else in the country — in the southeast for example, a dish without meat is not considered a proper meal. In such areas, supermarkets may help with their shelves full of canned vegetables or cooked olive-oil courses (imported from outside the region) and fresh fruits. However in rural areas, it's better not to tempt fate, and bring along some supplies just in case, as nonregional food might not be available. ===Desserts=== [[Image:T Honey.jpg|thumb|Turkish delight]] Some Turkish desserts are modeled on the sweet and nutty Arabic kind: famous dishes include ''baklava'', a layered pastry of finely ground nuts and phyllo dough soaked in honey and spices, and Turkish delight (''lokum''), a gummy confection of rosewater and sugar. There are also many more kinds of desserts prepared using milk predominantly, such as ''kazandibi'', ''keşkül'', ''muhallebi'', ''sütlaç'', ''tavuk göğsü'', ''güllaç'' etc. ===Breakfast=== Turkish breakfast tends to comprise of ''çay'' (tea), bread, olives, feta cheese, tomato, cucumber and occasionally spreads such as honey and jam. This can become very monotonous after a while. A nice alternative to try (should you have the option) is ''menemen'': a Turkish variation on scrambled eggs/omelette. Capsicum (red bell pepper), onion, garlic and tomato are all combined with eggs. The meal is traditional cooked (and served) in a clay bowl. Try adding a little chili to spice it up and make sure to use lots of bread as well for a filling hot breakfast. Bread is omnipresent in Turkey, at any given meal you'll be presented with a large basket of crusty bread. Ubiquitous ''simit'' (also known as ''gevrek'' in some [[Aegean Turkey|Aegean]] cities such as [[Izmir]]), much like bagel but somewhat thinner, crustier, and with roasted sesame seeds all over, is available from trolleys of street vendors in virtually everywhere at any time except late at night. Perhaps with the addition of Turkish feta cheese (''beyaz peynir'') or cream cheese (''krem peynir'' or ''karper''), a couple of ''simit''s make up a filling and a very budget conscious breakfast (as each costs about 5 TL), or even a lunch taken while on the go. == Drink == [[File:Turkish coffee in Istanbul.jpg | thumb | 300px | Turkish coffee with a morsel of Turkish delight ]] '''Turkish coffee''' (''kahve''), served in tiny cups, is strong and tasty, just be careful not to drink the sludgy grounds at the bottom of the cup. It is very different from the so-called Turkish coffees sold abroad. ''Sade kahve'' is served black, while ''as şekerli'', ''orta şekerli'' and ''çok şekerli'' will get you a little, some or a lot of sugar in your cup. Instant coffees, cappuccinos, and espressos are gaining more popularity day by day, and can be found with many different flavours. Despite coffee taking a substantial part in national culture, '''tea''' (''çay'') is also very popular and is indeed the usual drink of choice. Most Turks are heavy drinkers of tea in their daily lives. Having only entered the scene in the 1930s, tea quickly gained ground against coffee due to the fact that [[Yemen]], the traditional supplier of coffee to Turkey then, was cut off from the rest of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century, and the first tea plants took root in [[Eastern Karadeniz]] after some unsuccessful trials to grow it in the country, as a result of protectionist economic policies that were put into effect after World War I. Be careful, if your tea is prepared by locals, it can be much stronger than you're used to. Although it is not native-typical and a rather touristy feature, you have to taste the special '''apple tea''' (''elma çayı'') or '''sage tea''' (''adaçayı'', literally "island tea") of Turkey. '''Rosehip''' (''kuşburnu'') and '''linden''' (''ıhlamur'') teas are other commonly available variations on the theme, although mostly consumed by Turks as herbal remedies and not for refreshment. [[File:Fresh ayran.jpg | thumb | 300px | A glass of ayran]] '''Ayran''' is a popular drink of water and yoghurt not unlike the Finnish/Russian "buttermilk" or Indian "lassi", but always served without sugar (and, in fact, typically with a little salt added). If you're travelling by bus over the Taurus Mountains, ask for "köpüklü ayaran' or "yayık ayaranı", a variety of the drink much loved by locals. '''Boza''' is a traditional cold, thick drink that originates from Central Asia, but is also common in several [[Balkans|Balkan]] countries. It is fermented ''bulgur'' (a kind of wheat) with sugar and water additions. [http://www.vefa.com.tr/index.php?dil=en Vefa Bozacisi] is the best known and traditional producer of boza in [[Istanbul]]. In Ankara, you get excellent Boza from Akman Boza Salonu in the old city area of Ulus. Boza can also be found on the shelves of many supermarkets, especially in winter, packaged in 1-litre PET bottles. However these bottled bozas lack the sourness and consistency of traditional boza, they are sweeter and less dense. [[File:Salep_drink.jpg | thumb | 300px | A cup of salep]] '''Sahlep''' (or '''Salep''') is another traditional hot drink, made from milk, orchid root and sugar, typically decorated with cinnamon. It is mostly preferred in winter and can be found in cafés and patisseries (''pastane'') and can be easily confused by the looks of it with cappuccino. You can also find instant sahlep in many supermarkets sold with the name ''Hazır Sahlep''. '''Red poppy syrup''' is one of the traditional Turkish drinks made of red poppy petals, water and sugar by natural ways. [[Bozcaada]] is famous for red poppy syrup. International brands of '''colas''', '''sodas''' and '''fruit-flavoured sodas''' are readily available and much consumed alongside some local brands. In Turkish, ''soda'' means '''mineral water''', whereas what is called as soda in English is ''gazoz'' or ''sade gazoz'' in Turkish. [[file:Toasting.JPG | thumb | 300px | ''Şerefe!'' - a toast with rakı over a family meal]] '''Rakı''' is Turkey's national drink, the aniseed-flavoured twice-distilled spirit similar to ''anise, ouzo, sambuca'' and ''arak''. It's distilled first from raisins or grapes, or less often from figs, beet sugar or other sources. The first distillation creates a very strong spirit called ''suma''. This is mixed with aniseed and water, re-distilled, re-diluted then matured for 30 days. It's sold at 40% abv strength and always drunk in a long glass mixed with water, which turns it cloudy. You might indicate ''tek'' (single) or ''duble'' (double) for how much rakı goes into your glass, and have a second glass of iced water at hand. It's nice with appetisers, ''meze'' or seafood; don't drink large amounts without a meal unless you're Kemal Atatürk setting your country to rights. Every supermarket stocks rakı: common brands (also marketed in the west) include Yeni, Tekirdağ, and Efe. As for Turkish '''wine''', the wines are as good as the local grape varieties. ''Kalecik Karası'' from [[Ankara]], ''Karasakız'' from [[Bozcaada]], ''Öküzgözü'' from [[Elazığ]], ''Boğazkere'' from [[Diyarbakır]] are some of the most well-known varieties. The biggest winemakers are [http://www.kavaklidere.com/girisEN.aspx Kavaklıdere], [http://dolucawines.com/ Doluca], [http://sevilengroup.com/en/vineyards Sevilen], and [https://kayrawines.com/Sayfalar/index.aspx Kayra] with many good local vineyards especially in the western part of the country. In addition liquory fruit wines of [[Şirince]] near [[Izmir]] are well worth tasting. One specific sweet red wine to try while you're there is Talay Kuntra. There are two major Turkish '''breweries'''. Efes and Tekel Birası are two widely known lagers. In addition, you can find locally brewed Tuborg, Miller, Heineken, and Carlsberg too. ==Smoke== All cigarettes except ecigs are sold freely and are still relatively cheap by western standards. Although many Turkish people do smoke, there is a growing health awareness about smoking and the number of smokers is slowly but steadily declining, and the rigid smoking ban that was introduced is surprisingly enforced. Smoking in the presence of someone who does not smoke in a public place requires their permission. If someone does not like the smoke, they will ask you not to smoke or they will cough, then just stop and apologize. This is what the locals do. If you are invited to someone's home, do not smoke unless the host does first, and after they do, then you can ask for their permission to smoke. ===Smoking ban=== Smoking is banned in public places (e.g. airports, metro stations and indoor train stations, schools, universities, government administration buildings, in all workplaces, concert halls, theatres and cinemas) and on public transport (airplanes, ferries, trains, suburban trains, subways, trams, buses, minibuses, and taxis). Smoking is banned in sports stadiums, the only outdoor areas where this ban is extended. It is a finable offence of 69 TL. Separately smoking is also banned, in restaurants, bars, cafes, traditional teahouses, the remaining air-conditioned public places including department stores and shopping mall restaurants; and there are no exceptions as indoor non-smoking sections are also banned. Apart from a fine for smokers, there is a heavy fine of 5,000 TL for owners, for failing to enforce the ban properly and that is why it is strictly enforced by these establishments. In Istanbul, especially in non-tourist areas, some bars/restaurants/music venues and even work places will bring you an ashtray as there will be many people smoking inside, even though there is a sign on the wall forbidding it, many people consider it to be up to the discretion of the owners/workers of the building. However, bars/restaurants/music venues in tourist areas (e.g. Beyoğlu, Sişli etc...) are relentlessly "raided" (and in case of any violations – not just for flouting the smoking ban – fined heavily) by the zabıta (municipal official), so these establishments will much less likely dare to violate the bans. Although such "raids" will be disconcerting for tourists, customers will not be affected as the zabıta does not issue fines to customers – at most will be asked to leave the place, in case of serious violations. However the smoking ban is openly flouted in government administration buildings, where the civil servants seem to think that they are somehow above the law. Outside the cities and tourist resorts, the smoking ban is less rigidly enforced in small towns and in the villages hardly at all, because the municipal police (zabıta) rarely comes to these places to enforce it and issue fines, leading to some establishments and its customers to ignore this, but even there it is nevertheless best to follow the less enforced smoking ban. While smoking is strictly prohibited on public transport, you will see some taxi drivers smoking in their taxis, which are also included in the smoking ban, but is the only form of public transport where this ban is openly flouted. When entering the taxi just request the taxi driver not to smoke, and he will politely oblige - in fact most of them will put out their cigarettes immediately once they see a customer hailing them or approaching them. ==Sleep== [[File:Balloons over Cappadocia - 2014.10 - panoramio.jpg|thumb|Balloons over Cappadocia]] Accommodation in Turkey varies from 5-star hotels to a simple tent pitched in a vast plateau. So the prices vary hugely as well. ===Hotels=== All major cities and tourist spots have '''5-star hotels''', many of them run by international chains. These are mostly concrete blocks, although some, particularly in rural areas, are bungalows with private gardens and swimming pools. If you are looking for an all-inclusive holiday package in a [[Mediterranean_Turkey|Mediterranean]] '''resort''', you would definitely find better rates when booking back at home rather than in Turkey itself. The difference is considerable; compared with what you would pay when booking at home, you may end up paying twice as much if you simply walk in the resort. ===Hostels and guesthouses=== '''[[Hostels]]''' are not widespread; there are a few in Istanbul, mainly in the Sultanahmet and Taksim areas, and still fewer are recognized by Hostelling International (HI, former International Youth Hostel Federation, IYHF). Alternatively, '''guesthouses''' (''pansiyon'') provide low cost accommodation (expect around 75–150 TL daily per person, 2022). B&Bs are also generally covered by the word ''pansiyon'', as most of them offer breakfast (sometimes for an extra payment; ask before deciding on a stay there). Unique in the country, [[Olympos (Turkey)|Olympos]] to the southwest of Antalya is known for welcoming visitors in the '''wooden tree-houses''' or in wooden communal sleeping halls. '''Short term rentals''' of flats in low-rise beachfront properties are possible. These are called ''apart hotel''s, often come with two rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and basic furniture and kitchenware, and can easily accommodate four people or more. They are more commonly found in the coastal towns of the [[Marmara_(region)|Marmara]] and [[Northern Aegean]] regions, which attract a larger number of Turkish families than overseas travellers. On a per person basis, these are much cheaper than hotels at about 1000–1500 TL per flat as of summer 2022 — expect the price to fluctuate depending on the location, season, and duration of your stay — but food and other similar expenses are on you. Many '''timeshare condos''' (''devremülk'') accept walk-in guests. These are mostly found in areas notable for their hot springs (not necessarily on the coast or surrounded by plenty of attractions), and mostly attract either families with children or older couples. Expect to pay upwards of 250 TL/night for a flat (2022), but as with ''apart hotel''s, the cost depends on the location and season. ==="Teacher's house"=== Like Atatürk statues and crescent-and-star flags etched into the sides of mountains, the ''öğretmenevi'' (“teacher’s house”) is an integral part of the Turkish landscape. Found in almost every city in Turkey, these government-run institutions serve as affordable guesthouses for educators on the road and&mdash;since anyone is welcome if space is available&mdash;for those traveling on a teacher’s budget (in 2022 about 200 TL/person, breakfast ''kahvaltı'' included; WiFi and hot water available). For the most part, these guesthouses are drab affairs, 1970s-era concrete boxes usually painted in a shade of pink and found in some of the least interesting parts of town. However safety and cleanliness are never concerns. ===Agritourism=== [https://wwoofturkey.org/ ''TaTuTa''] (an acronym from the first syllables of ''Tarım-Turizm-Takas'': Agriculture-Tourism-Barter) is an [[agritourism]] project aiming to connect organic farmers with interested travellers, through an exchange of overnight farm stays in return for a lending hand in gardenwork. ===Camping and RV-camping=== [[File:A camping place.JPG|thumb|A campsite in Turkey]] There are many private estates dotting the whole coastline of Turkey, where the owners rent their property for campers. These '''campsites''', ''kamping'' in Turkish, have basic facilities such as tap water, toilets, tree shade (a particularly welcome treat during the scorching and fiercely sunny summers), and some provide electricity to each tent by individual wires. Camping in the cities and towns outside the campsites is usually frowned upon, so you should always ask the local administration (village chief ''muhtar'' and/or gendarme ''jandarma'' in villages, municipalities ''belediye'' and/or the local police ''polis'' in towns) if there is an acceptable spot for you to pitch your tent. Wild camping in the forest without permission is OK, unless the area is under environmental protection. Regardless of the conservational status, a campfire anywhere in forests apart from the designated fireplaces in recreational (read "picnic") areas is forbidden. '''Stores''' offering camping gear are hard to come across, usually along back alleys in towns (often the stores offering hunting equipment are your best bet) or in the underground floors of large shopping arcades. So, unless you are exactly sure you can obtain what you need at your destination, it's best to pack along your gear. In smaller stores in non-major towns, the price of most of what is on sale is pretty much [[Bargaining|negotiable]]—it is not uncommon for shop attendants to ask double or even more of what it would typically cost in another store in a neighbouring town for an item. Although a revival seems to have started in the 2020s, '''caravan/trailer parks''' are not as common as they once were; there remains only a few, if any, from the days hippies tramped the Turkish highways in their vans—perhaps the most famous one, the Ataköy caravan park, known amongst the RV-ers for its convenient location in Istanbul is long history. However, caravanners can stay overnight in numerous resting areas along the highways and motorways, many larger parking lots within the cities or virtually in any appropriate rural public space. Filling the water tanks and discharging wastewater seem to matter most. ===Booking.com=== The service to make reservations for Turkey is only available outside of Turkey. This is due to a tax struggle between the website and the government. So, you best book your accommodation before coming to Turkey. Otherwise, you can always use Tor or a VPN to get around this limitation. ==Learn== *'''Naile's Art Home''' is a marbling paper (''ebru'') gallery and workshop in [[Cappadocia]]. *'''[https://sanatkampi.com/en/ Kayaköy Art Camp]''', in [[Kayaköy]], a ghost town near Fethiye is offering art classes in summer, specializing on photography, painting, and sculpture. *'''Ottoman Turkish''' classes in are held in Adatepe, a bohemian village in the Northern Aegean near [[Altınoluk]]. You can also participate in '''[http://www.philosophyinassos.org/ philosophy classes]''' taking place every summer in nearby [[Assos]], carrying on the agora tradition of the ancient Med. *'''Glass workshops''' around Beykoz up on the Bosphorus in the [[Istanbul/Asian Side|Asian Side]] of Istanbul, are offering one-day classes teaching how to make trinkets out of recycled glass. *There are many '''language schools''' where you can study Turkish in most of the larger cities. Ankara University affiliated ''[http://tomer.ankara.edu.tr/en/home-page/ Tömer]'' is one of the most popular language schools in Turkey and has branches in many cities, including Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir among others. *Many Turkish '''universities''' participate in pan-European and pan-Islamic '''student exchange''' programs (like Erasmus or Mevlana). Check with your own university and the Turkish one you intend to study at. *Many foreigners living in Istanbul support themselves by teaching English. Finding a good teaching job is usually easier with a well-recognized certificate like the ones listed below: **'''[http://www.iti-istanbul.com ITI Istanbul]''' in 4. Levent runs Cambridge University's CELTA and DELTA courses year-round. ==Work== Work as an English teacher is reasonably easy to stumble upon. ESL teachers with a Bachelor’s Degree and TESOL Certificate can expect to earn 800-2,500 TL (monthly) and will usually teach 20–35 hours in a week. Contracts will sometimes include accommodations, airfare, and health-care. Being that import-export is huge in Turkey, there are also many opportunities outside of teaching, though these are often much more difficult to find and require some legal work. You need to have a work permit to work in Turkey. The control over illegal workers have grown stricter in the past five years with the consequence of deportation, so take the work permit issue seriously. However, if you have your own company in Turkey you are allowed to "manage" it without having a work permit. Setting up what is known as an FDI (foreign direct investment) company is relatively straightforward, takes a few days and costs around 2,300 TL (April 2007). You don't need a Turkish partner, the company can be 100% foreign owned and requires a minimum of two people as shareholders. Running costs for a company average about 2,500 TL per year for a small to medium enterprise, less for an inactive company. Owning a company allows you to be treated as Turkish in respect of purchasing real estate and bypasses the need for military permission and allows you to complete a sale in one day if required. ==Stay safe== {{Warningbox|Because of the ongoing civil war in Syria, do not travel within 10 km of Turkey's border with that country. |uk=https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/turkey |lastedit=2020-09-01}} [[File:Falezlerden Antalya Konyaaltı Plajına doğru bir görünüm.jpg|thumb|Antalya beach]] Dial '''112''' to contact the police or the gendarme (a military-styled unit of the Interior Ministry responsible for rural safety) from any phone, free of charge. Upon entering some museums, hotels, metro stations, and almost all shopping malls, especially in larger cities, you will notice '''security checkpoints''' similar to those found in airports. Don't worry, this is the standard procedure in Turkey and does not imply an immediate danger of attack. These security screenings are also conducted in a much more relaxed way than the airports, so you will not have to remove your belt to avoid the alarm when walking through the metal detector. '''Carry your passport''' or other means of identification at all times. One may not be requested to show them for a long period, then all of a sudden a minibus is checked by the traffic police (or the military, particularly in Eastern Turkey), or one runs into an officer of the law with time on his hand, and one must show papers. Some government buildings may ask you to temporarily surrender your passport in return for equipment such as headphones for simultaneous translation, etc., and you may find your passport stored in an open box along with the locals ID cards which may be a little disconcerting. Hotels may request you to hand your passport in until you paid the bill, which puts you into an awkward situation. Referring to the police always made them hand the passport back, once the registration procedure was finalized. Showing a personal visiting card, one or two credit cards or knowing the address of a respectable hotel may solve the no-papers situation, but any self-respecting officer will tell you that you are in the wrong, and will be sorry next time. If treated politely however police and military can be quite friendly and even offer rides to the next city (no joke intended). If you intend to travel to [[Eastern_Anatolia|Eastern]] or [[Southeastern Anatolia]], stay ahead of the news. Although it offers many beautiful sights, the situation is far from secure due to '''ethnic strife''' and protests, sometimes resulting in violence. The region is far from a war zone, but take precaution when visiting this volatile place. The real risk of threat is not very big though, if you stick on major routes and follow common sense rules (such as avoiding demonstrations). ===Crime=== {{see also|Istanbul#Scams}} The large cities in Turkey, especially Istanbul, are not immune to '''petty crime'''. Although petty crime is not especially directed towards tourists, by no means are they exceptions. Snatching, [[Pickpockets|pickpocketing]], and mugging are the most common kinds of petty crime. The early 2000s installation of a camera network which watches the primary streets and squares has reduced the number of snatching and mugging incidents. Just like anywhere else, following common sense is recommended. Have your wallet and money in your front pockets instead of the back pockets, backpack or shoulder bag. Don't exhibit your camera or cellphone publicly for too long if it is a new and/or expensive model (they know what to take away, no one will bother to steal a ten-year-old cell phone as it would pay very little). The same goes for your wallet, if it looks swollen. Leave a wide berth and move away from the area quickly if you see two or more people suddenly begin to argue and fight as this may be a trick to attract your attention while another person relieves you of your valuables. Be alert, this often happens very quickly. Watch your belongings in crowded places and on public transport, especially on trams and urban buses. Avoid dark and desolate alleys at night. If you know you have to pass one at night, don't have excessive cash on you. Stay away from demonstrating crowds if the demonstration seems to be turning into an unpeaceful one. Also in resort towns, when going to the beach, don't take any valuable equipment along if there will be no one to take care of them while you are swimming. If you notice that your wallet has been stolen it is wise to check the nearest trash cans before reporting the loss to the police. Often the thieves in Turkey will drop the wallet into the trash to avoid being caught in possession of it and thus red-handed. Obviously it is highly likely that your money will no longer be in it, but there is a chance that your credit cards and papers will be. Have a read at the [[Istanbul#Scams|scams section of the Istanbul article]] to have an idea about what kinds of '''scams''' you may come across elsewhere in the country as in Istanbul. ===Driving and road safety=== You should drive defensively at all times and take every precaution while driving in Turkey. Drivers in Turkey routinely ignore traffic regulations, including driving through red lights and stop signs, and turning left from the far right lane; these driving practices cause frequent traffic accidents. Drivers who experience car troubles or accidents pull to the side of the road and turn on their emergency lights to warn other drivers, but many drivers place a large rock or a pile of rocks on the road about 10-15 m behind their vehicles instead of turning on emergency lights. You may not use a cell phone while driving. It is strictly prohibited by law. Driving rural roads at night, particularly during the summer harvest, be on the watch for '''unilluminated agricultural machinery''' which move slowly in the lane, and may not be visible until you are dangerously close. Most Turkish drivers do not respect pedestrian crossings, so be careful when '''crossing a street''', as mentioned in the [[Turkey#On foot|get around/on foot]] section. ===Animals=== The Turkish wilderness is home to both venomous and non-venomous '''snake''' (''yılan'') species. The [[Mediterranean_Turkey|southern]] and especially [[Southeastern Anatolia|southeastern]] parts (even cities) of the country have large numbers of '''scorpions''' (''akrep''), so exercise caution if/when you are sleeping on open rooftops, which is common in the southeastern region in summer. If you are stung by one, seek urgent medical aid. As for wild mammals, the most dangerous ones are '''wolves''', '''bears''' and '''wild boars''', but attacks on humans are extremely rare. All of these animals live only in mountainous areas (of almost all regions) and your chance of sighting one is very low (except boars which are not so rare). Wolves and bears are unlikely to attack unless you follow or disturb them (or, particularly, their young) aggressively. However, in the mating season between November and January, boars are known to attack even with the slightest provocation. The biggest animal threat comes from '''stray dogs''' (or sheepdogs in rural areas). Don’t assume you will come across gangs of aggressive stray dogs next to the gate of [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old_City#See|Hagia Sophia]] or the beach club however. They are mostly found in rural areas and the non-central parts of the cities. They are usually discreet and more afraid of you than you are of them. '''Rabies''' (''kuduz'') is endemic in Turkey (and most of the world) [http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/yellowBookCh4-Rabies.aspx], so anyone bitten by a dog or other carnivore should seek urgent treatment, despite what you may be told by your hotel or other well meaning strangers. Many stray dogs you’ll see in the cities bear plastic ear tags, indicating the dog was cleaned up, vaccinated (against rabies and a number of other diseases), sterilized, and then returned back to the streets as this is the most feasible humane treatment (compare with keeping them in a cage-like environment or putting them to sleep). The process is going on slowly but steadily, so it can be hoped the stray dog problem in Turkey will disappear in natural ways sometime in the future. ===Weather=== Most of Turkey has hot summers, with extremely hot summers in the southeastern interior, and while no part of Turkey is a desert, be extra careful when going to the south and southeast if you have never been in a hot-summer climate before. Take it easy on the first few days of your vacation. It’s always an excellent idea to put extra sunscreen on and avoid alcohol as you get used to the summer heat. However despite stereotypes, Turkey isn’t hot all year round. There are harsh winters in the central and especially eastern regions of the country and in the mountains, and the northern parts of Turkey (see [[Marmara_(region)|Marmara]] and [[Black_Sea_Turkey|Black Sea]] regions) have mild, maritime climates with warm but not hot summers. ===Natural disasters=== Much of Turkey is prone to [[earthquakes]]. ===Tourism Police=== There are "Tourism Police" sections of the police departments of [[Ankara]], [[Antalya]], [[Istanbul]] (in [[Istanbul/Sultanahmet-Old City|Sultanahmet]]), and [[Izmir]] providing help specifically for tourists, where travellers can report passport loss and theft or any other criminal activity, they may have become victims of. The staff is multilingual and will speak English, German, French, and Arabic. ==Stay healthy== Dial '''112''' from any telephone, anywhere, free of charge for an ambulance. '''Food safety''' - Food is generally free of parasitic or bacterial contamination, but be prudent anyway. Look at where local people are preferring to eat. Do not eat stuff that is sold outdoors, at least in summer and at least which local folk don’t eat. They can spoil fairly quickly without needed refrigeration. Wash thoroughly and/or peel fresh fruits and vegetables. They may be free of biological contaminants but their skin is probably heavily loaded with pesticides (unless you see the not-very-common certified organic produce marker on, of course). Food in western regions of the country is OK for (western) travellers for the most part, but the more east, south, and northeast you go, the more unaccustomed contents in the food you’ll come across, like goat or goose meat or hot/heavy spices. These contents may or may not cause [[Travellers' diarrhea|diarrhea]], but it is wise to have at least some anti-diarrhea medicine nearby, especially if you are going to travel to places a bit off-beaten-track. An antidiarrheal derived from the probiotic yeast ''Saccharomyces boulardii'' is commonly available over-the-counter from pharmacies under the brand name ''Reflor'', for about 80 TL as of 2022 for 10 powder packs. [[File:Anzer yaylası-2.JPG|thumb|250px|There is little reason to get paranoid about water safety in places like the Anzer Plateau, south of [[Rize]] — indeed locals in the Pontic highlands may be offended if you insistently ask around for bottled water]] '''[[Water|Water safety]]''' — Tap water, including that comes out of the mosque fountains (''şadırvan''), generally isn't pleasant to drink; it's often very chalky due to the climate and the underlying geology, and is almost always heavily chlorinated, yet no one guarantees it is safe enough for drinking due to possible deficits in the distribution network. So it is better to stick to bottled water, which is readily available and comes in varying sizes from 0.25 L plastic cups to 19 L office jars, with 0.5 L and 1.5 L being the most common. Chain stores always provide it cheaper than roadside kiosks, transportation venues or museum shops; a fair price in grocery stores in 2022 is the volume in litres multiplied by 3 (e.g. 1.50 TL for 0.5 L). Even so, if you can't resist the temptation to have a nicely chilled water from the next street vendor while walking down a baking pavement in a summer afternoon, always check the bottle has a label and the production details laser printed on the top or on the cap — otherwise you may just be about to drink tap water in a reused bottle. If you are going to be [[Outdoor life|outdoors]], seek local advice on fresh water availability. Narrow and rocky peninsulas (e.g., some sections of the [[Lycian Way]]) often lack water sources where you need them most to be. Lastly, it is great to be cautious about water, but don't take it to the level of paranoia — if water gushing out of a mountain spring or a village fountain looks and smells fine, it likely is. '''Hospitals''' — Both private and public hospitals (''hastane'') exist in Turkey. Private hospitals are run by associations, businesses, and private universities, and provide a similar comfort level to hotels. Public hospitals are run by the Ministry of Health and public universities. All mid-to-big size cities and major resort towns have private hospitals, multiple in many cities, but in a small town a public hospital is your best bet. Expect crowds and lines in public hospitals, except emergencies. You may also be denied entry to the public hospitals for non-emergency situations, or asked for upfront payment, if you don’t have a Turkish or travel insurance. Travel health insurance is highly recommended because the better private hospitals operate under the "user pays" principle and their rates are much inflated compared with the public hospitals. It's a judgement call whether to include air evacuation in the policy if you are going to visit remoter rural areas. In the city suburbs, there are usually also policlinics which can treat simpler illnesses or injuries. In the villages don't expect more than little clinics (''sağlık ocağı'', literally “health house”) which have a very limited supply and staff, though they can effectively treat simple ailments or ''may'' provide antibody against, for example, snake bite. On road signage, directions to hospitals are indicated by an "H" on dark blue [[File:Turkish road sign 84.jpg|20px]], whereas village clinics are shown with a red crescent sign [[File:Turkish road sign 85.jpg|20px]], the Turkish equivalent of the red cross. There is an emergency ward (''acil servis'') open 24 hours in every hospital. Suburban policlinics don’t have to provide one, but some of them are open 24-hr anyway. Village clinics do certainly have a much limited opening hours (generally 08:00 to sunset). Turkey (Istanbul and Antalya in particular) has become a popular [[medical tourism]] destination, particularly for cosmetic procedures such as hair transplants. Packages inclusive of treatment and vacation are available. '''Dental health''' — Private dental clinics (''diş hekimi'') are to be found along the main streets. (There are also government-run dental hospitals, but their waiting lists are often terribly long — you wouldn't really want to book an appointment possibly weeks beyond your departure from the country.) While most dentists run on scheduled appointments, you can simply walk in for the emergencies. And don't worry in case you need an appointment; private clinics are much better at time management than governmental hospitals. Regular toothpastes and brushes (both local and international brands) can be bought at grocery stores. For a larger variety, you may check out pharmacies. It is okay to brush your teeth with tap water. '''Pharmacies''' — By law, medicinal drugs are only sold at pharmacies (''eczane''), which exist in numbers in all cities and many towns. Pharmacies are open 08:30-18:00, however every town has at least one on duty overnight (''nöbetçi eczane''), and all others in the town usually display its name, address and phone numbers on their windows. Most basic drugs, including painkillers such as ''Aspirin'', are sold over the counter. '''Mosquitoes''' - Keeping a [[Mosquitoes|mosquito]] repellent handy is a good idea. Although the risk of [[malaria]] anywhere in the country is long gone (except the southernmost areas near the Syrian border which used to have a very low level of risk until up to 1980s), mosquitoes can be annoying especially in coastal areas out of cities, including vacation towns at nights between June and September. In some towns, especially the ones near the deltas, mosquito population is so large that people desert the streets during the “mosquito raid” which occurs between the sunset and one hour after that. DEET-containing aerosol repellents (some are suitable to apply to the skin while others, the ones that are in tall tin cans are for making a room mosquito-free before going to bed, not to be applied onto skin, so choose what you buy wisely) can be obtained from supermarkets and pharmacies. There are also solid repellents coming in a tablet form which are used with their special devices indoors having an electricity socket. They release scentless chemicals into the air of the room which disturb the senses of mosquitoes and make them unable to “find” you. The tablets, together with their devices, can also be obtained from supermarkets and pharmacies. Beware! You shouldn’t touch those tablets with bare hands. '''Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever''' (''Kırım-Kongo kanamalı ateşi'' in Turkish, shortly ''KKKA'') is a serious viral disease and transmitted by a '''tick''' (''kene'') species. It can kill the infected person in a very short time, usually within three or four days. This disease has claimed more than 20 lives in Turkey within the past two years. The biggest risk is in the rural parts (''not'' urban centres) of [[Tokat]], [[Corum]], [[Yozgat]], [[Amasya]], and [[Sivas]] provinces, all situated in an area where disease-carrying tick thrives because of the area’s location between the humid climate of maritime Black Sea Region and arid climate of Central Anatolia. Authorities recommend to wear light coloured clothing which makes distinguishing a tick clinged to your body easier. It’s also recommended to wear long trousers rather than shorts if you plan to walk through dense and/or tall grass areas (the usual habitat for ticks). If you see a tick on your body or clothing, in '''no means try to pull it out''' since this may cause the tick’s head (and its mouth where it carries the virus) sticking inside your skin. Instead, go to the nearest hospital immediately to seek urgent expert aid. Being late to show up in hospital (and to diagnose) is number one killer in this disease. Symptoms are quite like that of flu and a number of other illnesses, so doctor should be informed about the possibility of CCHF and be shown the tick if possible. Coastal Black Sea Region, Marmara Region, Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, and East Anatolia are generally deemed free of this disease (and also free of the disease-carrying species of tick) with no casualties. But in the name of being cautious, you should head for the nearest hospital anyway if you are bitten by (most likely an innocent) tick. Also remember that if you should head for the danger zone described above, ticks are not active in winter. Their active period is April to October, so is the danger period. '''Public restrooms''' - Though many main squares and streets in the cities have a public restroom, if you cannot manage to find one, look for the nearest mosque, where you will see a public restroom in a corner of, or below its courtyard. Despite the fact that there is no shortage of cheap toilet papers anywhere in the country, however, you are unlikely to find toilet paper in almost any of the public restrooms (except lavatories of restaurants –including the road restaurants, hotels and most of the cafés and bars, of course). Instead, you are likely to find a bidet or a tap. (Don't be puzzled. That's because devout Muslims use water instead of paper to clean up and paper usually used as a dryer after cleaning.). So it is a good idea to have a roll of toilet paper in your backpack during your walkings for sightseeing. It is best to take your single roll of toilet paper from home or bathroom of the hotel you’re staying at, because the smallest size available in Turkey market is 4-rolls per package (8-rolls per package being the commonest) which would last very long (actually longer than your trip, unless you will do all the road down to India overland). It isn’t expensive but it takes unnecessary backpack space, or unnecessary landfill space if you won’t use it liberally and won’t take the unused rolls back to home as an unusual souvenir from Turkey. In the better places on the road in the country there are rest rooms that are maintained and an attendant ready to collect 1 TL from the tourist for the privilege of using one. Restroom is ''tuvalet'' in colloquial Turkish, though you’ll more likely to see ''WC'' signs, complete with diagrams and doors signed ''Bay'' or ''Bayan'' (respectively "men" and "women"). '''Menstrual products''' – Different types and designs of disposable pads are widely available. Look around in the supermarkets. However, Turkish women prefer tampons much less than European women do, so they are rarer. They are available only in some of the pharmacies. '''Hamam''' - If you haven't been to one, you've missed one of life's great experiences and never been clean. You can catch your inner peace with history and water in a bath (hamam). See hamams in [[Istanbul#Hamams|Istanbul]]. ==Respect== [[File:SANTA SOFIA AYASOFIA ISTAMBUL - panoramio.jpg|thumb|Inside Hagia Sofia, [[Istanbul]]]] ===Things to do=== Turks are a very friendly, polite and hospitable people, sometimes even to a fault. * When you are invited into a Turkish home, make sure to bring them a gift. Anything is fine from flowers to chocolate and indeed something representative from your country (but not wine and other alcoholic beverages if you are about to meet the host or if you do not know them well enough, as many Turks, for religious reasons or not, do not drink alcoholic beverages, and that is why it would be considered inappropriate as a gift). When you arrive at the house take off your shoes just outside or immediately inside the door, unless the owner explicitly allows you to keep them on. Even then, it might be more polite to remove your shoes. And if you really want their respect, thank your host for the invitation and compliment them. When inside the house, don't ask for anything for they will surely offer it. The host will make sure to make you feel at home, so don't take advantage of their kindness. * People in Turkey respect elderly people, so in a bus, tram, subway and in other forms of public transportation, young(er) people will always offer you a place to sit if you are an old(er) person as well as a handicapped person or a pregnant woman or have children with you. * It is respectful to bend slightly (not a complete bow) when greeting someone older or in a position of authority. * Try to use some Turkish phrases. They will be complimentary if you try, and there is no reason to be embarrassed. They realize that Turkish is very difficult for foreigners and won't scoff at all at your mistakes; on the contrary, they will be delighted at you for trying it, even if they may not always be able to understand your pronunciation! * Showing up late to a social gathering or a party isn't rude, but it is important to be on time for business appointments and other formal situations. ===Things to avoid=== Turkish people understand that visitors are usually not aware of Turkish culture and customs, and tend to be tolerant of blunders in this regard by foreigners. There are, however, some which will meet with universal disapproval, and these should be avoided at all costs: '''Politics:''' * It is '''illegal''' to "insult Turkishness", i.e. criticising the country, the government, or national heroes. You don't have to speak about how great Ataturk is, or praise the country excessively; just be polite and there will be no problems. * Don't mention the [[Armenian Genocide remembrance|Armenian Genocide]], Kurdish separatism or the Cyprus problem. These are extremely sensitive topics and are definitely to be avoided. Turkish society has a highly emotional approach to these issues. In particular, some statements about the Armenian Genocide, including referring to it as a genocide, are '''illegal''' in Turkey. '''Symbols''' * Be respectful of the Turkish anthem. Do not mock or mimic the Turkish anthem, as Turks are extremely proud and sensitive of their national symbols, and will be very offended. * Be respectful of the Turkish flag. Don't put it on places where people sit or stand, don't drag it, don't wrinkle it, don't contaminate it, don't use it as a dress or uniform. Not only will Turks be very offended, furthermore the desecration of the Turkish flag is a punishable offence. The flag is extremely important and well respected in Turkey. *Despite misconceptions, Turkey isn’t Greek, Iranian or Arab. Comparing Turkey to those countries is very frustrating and offensive to locals due to political and cultural differences. '''Religion:''' * Turkey is a predominantly Muslim country, and although you will see varying degrees of Islamic practice in Turkey, with many Turks subscribing to a liberal form of Islam, it is extremely rude to insult or mock its traditions or, for example, mimic the azan (call to prayer). During Ramadan, it is disrespectful to eat, drink, smoke or chew gum in public during daytime. If you are a non-Muslim and wish to eat, doing that in your hotel room is fine. However, Ramadan etiquette is quite relaxed especially in the tourist areas and international areas of big cities. '''Social custom and etiquette breaches:''' * Unless they offer their hand first, don't try to shake hands with a devout Muslim (a headscarf is a dead giveaway for a lady, as are various combinations of baggy pants, a skull cap and full beard — the non-hipster variety — for men), especially if you are the opposite gender. * Don't blow your nose during meals, even discreetly. This is considered extremely rude. * Don't pick your teeth during meals, even discreetly. This is considered extremely rude. * Do not put your feet up while sitting and try not to show the bottom of your feet to someone. This is considered rude. * Don't point with your finger at someone, even discreetly. This is considered rude. * Don't chew gum while having a conversation or during public occasions. This is considered extremely rude. * Public drunkenness (especially the loud and obnoxious variety) is definitely not appreciated and is frowned upon, especially in more conservative areas of the country. Drunken tourists may also attract the attention of pickpockets. However what is absolutely not tolerated with drunkenness especially by the police, if it is accompanied with physical aggressiveness towards other people, this may result with a fine and if this is repeated a heavier fine and/or a visit to the police station may result (if you are tourist, deportation from the country can result). * Certain gestures common in Western Europe are considered rude expressions in Turkey. People tend to be tolerant if they can see you are a foreigner. They know you are probably doing it subconsciously, but if you take the time to keep these in mind, you won’t have any misunderstandings. Making an ‘O’ with your thumb and forefinger (as if to say “OK!”) is rude because you are making the gesture for a hole - which has connotations referring to homosexuality in the Turkish psyche. Avoid clicking your tongue. Some people do this subconsciously at the beginning of a sentence. It is a gesture of dismissal. Also the "got your nose" gesture which is made by making a fist and putting your thumb between your forefinger and the middle finger is considered the equivalent of the middle finger in Turkey. ===Other things to watch for=== * Public displays of affection in larger cities and tourist resorts are tolerated but might invite unnecessary stares from the public. In more rural areas it is frowned upon and is to be avoided. Gay and lesbian travelers should avoid any outward signs of affection, as this will definitely invite unnecessary stares from the public. However overt displays of affection regardless of sexual orientation is regarded as inappropriate. * Avoid shouting or talking loudly in public. Talking loudly is generally considered rude, especially on public transportation. Talking on a mobile phone on public transportation is not considered rude but normal, unless the conversation is too "private". * It's not so common for Turks to smile. Avoid smiling at a stranger, because if you do they most likely will not respond in kind and they will regard you either as odd. Smiling in Turkey towards strangers in public is not done and might be considered inappropriate. Smiling is traditionally reserved for family and friends; smiling at a stranger might be considered weird, as if you were making fun of them and there was something wrong with their clothes or hair. ===Mosques=== [[File:In Turkish mosque.jpg|thumb|Praying in a mosque in Antalya]] Because of religious traditions, all women are required to wear head scarves and not to wear miniskirts or shorts upon entering a mosque (or a church or synagogue). The same goes for the tombs of Islamic saints, too, if the tomb is not called a museum. If you don’t have a shawl or a scarf to put on your head, you can borrow one at the entrance. However wearing-a-scarf rule is somewhat relaxed, especially in big mosques of Istanbul in which tourists are common. In such mosques, no one is warned about their clothes, or because of their lack of head scarves. Even if you’d have to wear a head scarf, no need to worry about how head scarves can be worn properly, just put it onto the crown of your head (you may wrap it under your chin or behind your neck, lest it slip), that will be excessively adequate. Also, men are required to wear trousers, not shorts, upon entering a mosque (or church or synagogue), however nowadays no one is warned about their clothes (at least in big cities). You may find when entering a mosque in more rural areas you will be expected to follow all traditional procedures. During the prayer time, worshippers choose to line in the front rows of the mosques, at such a time stay behind and try not to be noisy. During the Friday noon prayer, which is the most attended, you might be asked to leave the mosque, don’t take it personally, it is because the mosque will be very crowded, there just won’t be enough room for both the worshippers and the sightseers. You will be able to enter back as soon as worshippers are out of the gate. Unlike some other Middle Eastern cultures, eating, drinking, smoking (which is strictly banned), talking or laughing loudly, sleeping or just lying, even sitting on the ground inside mosques is frowned upon in Turkish culture. Public displays of affection are definitely taboo. All shoes should be removed before entering any mosque. There are shoes desks inside the mosques, though you can choose to hold them in your hand (a plastic bag which would be used only for this purpose would help) during your visit. Some mosques have safeboxes with a lock instead of shoe desks. Although there are official opening hours, which are typically shorter than what the mosque is actually open, at the entrances of the most sightseen mosques, they don’t really mean anything. You can visit a mosque as long as its gates are open. Despite the odd tourists who do not conform to the dress code, it is best to dress conservatively and to follow all traditional procedures when entering mosques, tombs and other places of worship, not only because it is required but also as a sign of respect. ===Gay and lesbian travellers=== Turkey is considered to be quite safe for gay and lesbian travellers, and violence against homosexuals is quite rare. There are no laws against homosexuality in Turkey, but same-sex relationships are not recognized by the government or accepted by society. Revealing your sexual orientation openly is very likely to draw stares and whispers. Turkey is more conservative on LGBT matters than most of Europe, though more liberal than the Arab countries. Despite stereotypes, not everyone is homophobic, however be more cautious outside big cities and holiday resorts. ==Connect== ===Power=== All buses have USB socket to charge your phone. If you want to conserve battery power, take two USB cables and charge both your phone and a power bank. ===Emergency=== As of 2021, all emergency services can be contacted by the phone number '''[https://www.112.gov.tr/ 112]''', free of charge, from any phone without inserting a calling/sim card. In case you get connected to the odd exchange in which the unified number doesn't work yet, dial '''112''' for an ambulance, '''110''' for fire department, '''155''' for police, '''156''' for gendarme (a military-styled unit for rural safety), and '''177''' for reporting forest fires. ===Telephone=== {{Infobox|Your phone may be blocked if you use an unregistered local SIM card |Foreign mobile phones without IMEI registration will be blocked after 120 days. This only happens if you use a Turkish SIM card. Phones with a foreign SIM card aren't affected by the blockage. [http://www.turkeytravelplanner.com/details/Communications/registering_mobile_phones_in_turkey.html This website] explains how you can register your mobile phone in Turkey. }} While not as common as they used to be, '''public pay phones''' can still be found at the sides of central squares and major streets in towns and cities and around post offices (''PTT''), especially around their outer walls. With the phase-out of old magnetic cards, public phones now operate with chip ''telekom'' cards which are available in 30, 60 or 120 units and can be obtained at post offices, newspaper and tobacco kiosks. (However emergency numbers can be called without card or anything from these phones.) You can also use your credit card on these phones, though it may not work in the off chance. All phones in the booths have Turkish and English instructions and menus, many also have German and French in addition. There are also telephones available in some kiosks and shops where you pay cash after your call. To spot these, look for ''kontürlü telefon'' signs. These telephones are more expensive than the ones at the booths, though. It is estimated that approximately 98% of the population of Turkey lives within the coverage areas of Turkey’s three '''cell phone''' line providers, and virtually everybody has one. Line providers from most countries have roaming agreements with one or more of these companies. Pre-paid mobile phone SIM cards can be purchased for 20–50 TL. These can be purchased at the airport on arrival or from the many outlets in Istanbul and other large cities. Providers include Vodafone. Here is a quick list of '''area codes''' for some major cities and towns of importance to tourists: {| |- | style="vertical-align:top;width:50%;" | * '''212'''&mdash;[[Istanbul]]-[[Istanbul/European Side|European Side]] * '''216'''&mdash;[[Istanbul/Asian Side|Istanbul-Asian Side]], and [[Istanbul/Princes' Islands|Princes' Islands]] * '''224'''&mdash;[[Bursa]], and [[Uludağ]] * '''232'''&mdash;[[Izmir]], and [[Çeşme]] * '''242'''&mdash;[[Antalya]], [[Alanya]], [[Kemer]], and [[Kaş]] * '''252'''&mdash;[[Muğla]], [[Bodrum]], [[Marmaris]], and [[Fethiye]] * '''256'''&mdash;[[Aydın]], and [[Kusadasi|Kuşadası]] | style="vertical-align:top;width:50%;" | * '''258'''&mdash;[[Denizli]], and [[Pamukkale]] * '''286'''&mdash;[[Çanakkale]], and [[Gallipoli]] * '''312'''&mdash;[[Ankara]] * '''332'''&mdash;[[Konya]] * '''384'''&mdash;[[Nevsehir|Nevşehir]], and most of [[Cappadocia]] (though a few well-known Cappadocian towns which are parts of [[Aksaray Province]] have '''382''' as their area code) |} Area codes are used when calling from a mobile phone or from outside the area. Prefix the code with "0" when not using the country code, such as when calling from a landline elsewhere in the country. Mobile phones have numbers starting with 5xx instead of the area code. This code is always used, also when dialing locally or from a phone with the same prefix. Numbers starting with '''0800''' are pay-free, whereas the ones starting with '''0900''' are high-fee services. 7-digit numbers starting with '''444''' (mainly used by companies) are charged as local calls wherever they are dialed in Turkey. Dial '''00''' prior to country code for '''international calls''' from Turkey. When calling into Turkey, the country code that should prefix city code and phone number is '''90'''. ===Post=== [[File:Main Post Office, Istanbul.jpg|thumb|The Grand Post Office in Istanbul]] '''Post offices''' are recognizable by their yellow and black ''PTT'' signs. Letters and cards should be taken to a post office since the postboxes on the streets are rare (and there is no guarantee that they are emptied at all, even if you spot one). Nevertheless, Turkish Post (PTT) prints some beautiful stamps. '''Postage''' for cards and letters costs 1.60 TL for domestic shipments, and 3.70 TL for international shipments, [http://ptt.gov.tr/sx/ptt/docs/file/tariffs/posta_ucretleri_tarifesi020117.pdf PTT website for rates]. Main post offices in cities are open 08:30-20:30, whereas post offices in towns and smaller post offices in cities are usually open 08:30-17:30. '''''Poste restante'''''/general delivery letters should be sent to an address in the format of: official full name of the addressee (because the receiver will be asked for an ID card, passport or anything that can prove he or she is proper recipient) + ''POSTRESTANT'' + name of the quarter/neighbourhood/district if in a city where there is more than one post office or name of the town where the post office is and the postal code (if known, not obligatory, generally available at the entrance or on the interior walls of the post office) and the name of the province in which the quarter/town of the post office is located. The receiver has to pay 0.50 TL upon receipt of mail. ===Internet=== Although not as widespread as they used to be in the last decade '''''internet cafes''''' or ''net cafes'' are still available in reasonable numbers in cities and towns. In fact, any major town has at least one. All of them have good DSL connections, and price for connection is about more or less 1.50 TL/hr. Most, if not all, of these internet-cafés also have CD writers which are available for anyone who makes an additional payment. * [http://www.turkcell.com.tr Turkcell], the largest mobile operator.

You can also use a VPN or Tor to bypass the blocks. The feature "Secure Wi-Fi" is usable for free on mobile devices. ===Wi-Fi=== * Every '''hotel''' has their own Wi-Fi. Some hotels do have trouble with their network setup or the connection due to the historical location however at the least you will have free Wi-Fi at your hotel.

Venice and its lagoon are a [[UNESCO World Heritage site]].

The ''comune'' (municipality) of Venice lies at the coast of northern Italy. It is made up of many islands in the Venetian Lagoon and a stretch of ''terraferma'' (mainland). The comune is divided into six boroughs, the most famous of which (known as ''Venezia Insulare'') comprises the historic city of Venice as well as the islands of Giudecca, [[Venice/Murano|Murano]], [[Burano]], [[Torcello]], [[Mazzorbo]] and [[Sant'Erasmo]]. [[Lido]] and [[Mestre]] are other popular areas of the comune. The historic city is divided into six ''sestieri'' (districts): [[Venice/Cannaregio|Cannaregio]], [[Venice/Castello|Castello]], [[Venice/Dorsoduro|Dorsoduro]], [[Venice/San Polo|San Polo]], [[Venice/Santa Croce|Santa Croce]] and finally [[Venice/San Marco|San Marco]], where the main monuments and sights are. Each sestiere uses separate house numbers, however they are ''not'' allocated in a specific pattern. === History === {{See also|Medieval and Renaissance Italy}} The '''Most Serene Republic of Venice''' dates back to 827, when a Byzantine Duke moved its seat to what is now known as the Rialto, and for the following 970 years, it prospered on trade (especially from the [[Silk Road]]) and under the rule of a Roman-style Senate headed by the '''Doge'''. Eventually, the Republic of Venice grew into a powerful city-state, and the cradle of [[Medieval and Renaissance Italy|Italian renaissance]]. In the late 15th century, the [[Ottoman Empire]]'s expansion around the Mediterranean, new routes on the high seas shifted commerce to the Atlantic, demoting Venice's political status. The city remains a centre for the arts. One of the significant events in the history of Venice was the opening of the first public opera house in 1637, which allowed members of the general public (those who could afford to pay for the tickets) to enjoy what was once court entertainment reserved for the aristocracy, thus allowing the genre of opera to flourish. Venice was an important destination of the [[Grand Tour]] from the 17th century. In 1797, the city was conquered by Napoleon, a blow from which it never recovered. The city was soon absorbed into [[Austro-Hungarian Empire|Austria-Hungary]], then ping-ponged back and forth between Austria and a nascent Italy, but Venice is still a monument to the glory days of the Renaissance, and historical culture still throbs powerfully in the old Italians' veins. === Climate === {{Weather box | metric first=y | single line=y | Jan high C = 6.6 | Feb high C = 9.6 | Mar high C = 14.5 | Apr high C = 20.1 | May high C = 23.5 | Jun high C = 25.9 | Jul high C = 27.7 | Aug high C = 27.5 | Sep high C = 24.4 | Oct high C = 20.0 | Nov high C = 12.6 | Dec high C = 7.4 | year high C = 17.2 | Jan mean C = 3.3 | Feb mean C = 4.7 | Mar mean C = 8.3 | Apr mean C = 12.0 | May mean C = 17.1 | Jun mean C = 20.5 | Jul mean C = 23.0 | Aug mean C = 22.6 | Sep mean C = 18.9 | Oct mean C = 13.8 | Nov mean C = 7.8 | Dec mean C = 4.0 | year mean C = 13.0 | Jan low C = −0.1 | Feb low C = 0.8 | Mar low C = 5.1 | Apr low C = 9.8 | May low C = 13.7 | Jun low C = 16.1 | Jul low C = 18.3 | Aug low C = 17.7 | Sep low C = 14.3 | Oct low C = 9.6 | Nov low C = 4.0 | Dec low C = 0.6 | year low C = 8.8 | Jan precipitation mm = 47.0 | Feb precipitation mm = 48.3 | Mar precipitation mm = 48.8 | Apr precipitation mm = 70.0 | May precipitation mm = 66.0 | Jun precipitation mm = 78.0 | Jul precipitation mm = 63.9 | Aug precipitation mm = 64.8 | Sep precipitation mm = 72.0 | Oct precipitation mm = 73.5 | Nov precipitation mm = 65.5 | Dec precipitation mm = 50.6 | year precipitation mm = 748.4 | Jan humidity = 81 | Feb humidity = 77 | Mar humidity = 75 | Apr humidity = 75 | May humidity = 73 | Jun humidity = 74 | Jul humidity = 71 | Aug humidity = 72 | Sep humidity = 75 | Oct humidity = 77 | Nov humidity = 79 | Dec humidity = 81 | year humidity = 75.8 | unit precipitation days = 1.0 mm | Jan precipitation days = 6.0 | Feb precipitation days = 5.2 | Mar precipitation days = 5.7 | Apr precipitation days = 8.3 | May precipitation days = 8.2 | Jun precipitation days = 8.6 | Jul precipitation days = 5.9 | Aug precipitation days = 6.1 | Sep precipitation days = 5.9 | Oct precipitation days = 6.7 | Nov precipitation days = 5.8 | Dec precipitation days = 5.9 | Jan sun = 80.6 | Feb sun = 107.4 | Mar sun = 142.6 | Apr sun = 174.0 | May sun = 229.4 | Jun sun = 243.0 | Jul sun = 288.3 | Aug sun = 257.3 | Sep sun = 198.0 | Oct sun = 151.9 | Nov sun = 87.0 | Dec sun = 77.5 | year sun = 2037.0 | source 1 = [http://clima.meteoam.it/AtlanteClim2/pdf/(105)Venezia%20Tessera.pdf MeteoAM (sun and humidity 1961–1990) Venezia/Tessera] | source 2 = [http://clima.meteoam.it/viewClino.php?type=File&station=105&name_station=Venezia%20Tessera MeteoAM Tabella CLINO] | date = April 2014 }} Venice has a humid-subtropical climate with hot summers and cool winters. For those who don't enjoy the heat, July and August may be the worst time to visit: it's sometimes very hot and often humid, there are mosquitoes and occasional infestations of flies, and there are a ''lot'' of tourists and large crowds. Mid to late spring and early to mid autumn are probably best, a compromise between temperature (expect 10-25°C) and the tourist load. Between November and January, you may manage to feel you have Venice all to yourself, an interesting experience. Beware of the weather during the winter months: it can be quite chilly, windy, and damp. Fog is an additional hazard if you are driving in or out, doubly so in the unlikely chance that you will pilot a boat. But if you've never been to Venice, it's better to go in summer than not to go. You won't regret it. Many cities are far worse in summer. Although Venice has no cars, diesel motors used by boats contribute to less than stellar air quality. '''''Acqua alta''''' (high water) has become a fact of life in Venice. The lagoon water level occasionally rises above the level of the squares and streets, flooding them. This can happen several times a year, at irregular intervals, usually in the colder months. ''Acqua alta'' usually lasts a few hours and coincides with high tide. You'll see raised walkways in side alleys ready to be pulled out when ''acqua alta'' hits. When the city begins to flood, sirens will sound to warn residents and businesses. If you speak fluent Italian, tune into news programs since their predictions of the times the flood begins and ends are usually accurate. Normally, the tide rises and falls in six-hour cycles. You can get an ''acqua alta'' map at the tourist offices either at the railway station or St Mark's Square. This will show you the higher, dry routes and the ones with walkways set up during the various flood alerts. There is a tide measuring station at the Rialto vaporetto piers, and a noticeboard at the base of the Campanile in the Piazza San Marco that shows a live tide reading and predictions for the next few days. == Get in == {{Mapframe|name=Important transfer points|show=go}} Water plays a crucial role in transportation, as Venice is on a lagoon. Whichever way you arrive the last part of your journey will be on foot from the nearest waterbus/watertaxi jetty. Bear this in mind when choosing your hotel location and route to it, especially if you need to carry or wheel bags along the narrow streets. Do note a lot of the higher priced hotels will offer complementary water boat transfers from the airport. === By plane === The Marco Polo Airport and the Treviso Airport serve the city. If no flight suites you, check flying to nearby '''[[Bologna#By_plane|Bologna]]''' or '''[[Verona#By_plane|Verona]]'''. From both cities trains and buses depart to Venice. ==== Marco Polo Airport ==== {{Listing | type = go | name = Marco Polo Airport | alt = {{IATA|VCE}} | url = http://www.veniceairport.it | email = | address = | lat = 45.50528 | long = 12.35194 | directions = on the mainland near [[Mestre]] (a more typical Italian city, without Venice's unique structure) | phone = | tollfree = | fax = | hours = | price = | wikipedia= Venice Marco Polo Airport | wikidata = Q849347 | image = Aeroporto di Venezia - vue aerienne.jpg | lastedit = 2019-08-21 | content = This is the closest commercial airport. }} There are direct flights to and from [[Amsterdam Schiphol]], [[Atlanta Airport]], [[Barcelona El Prat]], Basel, Belfast, Berlin, Bilbao, Birmingham, Bordeaux, Brussels, Casablanca, Chisinau, Cologne-Bonn, [[Copenhagen Airport]], Doha, Dubai, Dublin, Dubrovnik, Düsseldorf, Edinburgh, Eindhoven, [[Frankfurt Airport]], Geneva, Glasgow, Hamburg, Istanbul, Leeds, Le Havre, Lille, Lisbon, London, Luxembourg, Madrid, Manchester, Mars Alam, Marseilles, Metz, Montreal, Moscow, [[Munich Airport]], Mykonos, Nantes, New York.

Trains from the mainland run through [[Mestre]] on the mainland to the terminus Venezia Santa Lucia railway station on the west side of Venice; make sure you don't get it confused with the two stations on the mainland before the bridge. Many through trains only stop in Mestre, in that case just hop on to one of the very frequent trains to Santa Lucia (ticket €1.25). Also, ACTV has a ticket office at Mestre station, and queues might be shorter here. From the Santa Lucia station district, water buses (''vaporetti'') or water taxis can take you to hotels or other locations on the islands, but walking is usually the best option. * {{go | name=Venezia Santa Lucia railway station | alt=Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia | url=https://www.instazione.shop/venezia-santa-lucia | email= | address=Fondamenta Santa Lucia | lat= | long= | directions=Northern edge of Cannaregio district | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q801567 | lastedit=2021-03-06 | content=The main terminus station located in proper Venice.

Park near the [[Mestre]] railway station, and catch a train to Venezia St Lucia; there are many trains, it is very near (8–10 minutes) and quite cheap (€1.20).

Free and safe parkings are also near Mogliano Veneto and Oriago railway stations. Besides, Venezia St Lucia is a good starting point to visit Venice.

However, walking and standing all day can also be exhausting, so it is best to pace yourself. The Rialtine islands - the 'main' part of Venice - are small enough to walk from one end to the other in about an hour, provided you don't get lost (a common occurrence). If you want to get around a bit more quickly, there are numerous '''vaporetti (water buses)''' and '''water taxis'''. The vaporetti are generally the best way to get around, even if the service route map changes frequently. If you are going to be in Venice for a few days visiting, it is a lot cheaper to use vaporetti than private water taxis. If you want to have a romantic ride along the canals, take a gondola ride, although they tend to exist for more scenic purposes, rather than getting people from point A to point B. Be warned that GPS navigation services such as Google Maps are notoriously unreliable in Venice. The density of stone buildings makes it fairly difficult to receive a proper GPS satellite signal. Additionally, Venice's complex network of pathways and public transit is poorly documented, and even entire transit services such as the Orange vaporetti Route are undocumented on Google Maps. You can mitigate some of these navigation issues using the Live View function in Google Maps, which uses your camera to orient yourself relative to businesses and landmarks around you. === By public transport === '''[http://www.actv.it/en ACTV]''' runs the vaporetti and other public transport services in the lagoon and on land. * '''Line 1''' runs from Piazzale Roma to Lido, passing the Railway Station (Ferrovia), Canal Grande, Rialto, S.Marco and S.Zaccaria and vice versa, leaving Piazzale Roma every 20 minutes from 05:01 to 06:01 and from 22:21 to 23:41, every 10 minutes from 06:21 to 22:01, leaving Lido every 20 minutes from 04:16 to 05:36 and from 21:46 to 23:06, every 10 minutes from 5:56 to 21:26.

The city is not that big, and you can walk from one end to the other in a few hours (if you stick to the paths conveniently marked with arrows in the direction of major landmarks). But it would take months for a fit person to discover every path in the city. Make sure to visit some of the smaller alleyways, as they can be very interesting. Along the way you will discover marvelous art, superb architecture and breathtaking urban landscaping. Exploring the city randomly by walking is well worth it but also be prepared to get lost easily! Signs all over the city indicate the direction to the main attractions, "Rialto" and "San Marco", as well as the way back to the train station ("ferrovia") and the bus terminal ("Piazzale Roma"). These signs make it easy to have the "get lost experience" even as a one-day tourist. For a faster and safer walk, you should walk on the right side. Be aware that addresses in Venice are of the form "District Number" (the Venetian word for district is "Sestiere"), not "Street Number".

Vogalonga competitors must row 32 km under 3½ hours to receive a certificate of attendance at the finish line, but everybody with a human-powered vessel is welcome to participate (some foreigner teams take up to 10 hours to complete the journey just for the fun of it). The official purpose of the Vogalonga was to protest the sharply increasing use of powerboats in Venice, but the event has gradually grown into a festival since 1974, with up to 5500 racers in 1500 vessels attending by the early 2000s. The racetrack visits different parts of Venice as well as some of the nearby islands. Locals and tourists lining up alongside rios and canals cheer the racers. Visitors wishing to participate should have serious experience in rowing or sculling and practise duely, as the journey is physically demanding (even seasoned oarsmen develop calluses by the finish line). The event is mainly for teams, completing Voga Longa on a single oar is considered a major achievement. Extreme participation (scuba frogmen and surface swimmers) sometimes occurs, but it is not recommended due to water contamination issues.

The vaporetti are expensive, but the sights are priceless: amazing architecture, soft seaside sunlight, and a fascinating parade of Venetian watercraft. * Take a '''gondola''' if you can afford it: it's expensive, but the ''Gondoliere'' may decrease the price if you ask (but they can also decrease the time...). Make sure you reach an agreement on price and time before you start! A good tip with the Gondolieres is to bargain the price down as low as you can, then say that it's still too much and walk away. Two or three of them will chase after you, one after the other, each offering a lower price than the last. It's possible to knock €20-€30 off the price (even then, be prepared to shell out €80). : Some guidebooks discourage tourists from asking for gondola price reductions. The oarsmen have an informal habit of cutting the most interesting and little-known parts from the journey path for "discount" customers. Reduced rate riders get much less marvel in exchange for a moderate price drop, which may not be worth it. : Gondolier-for-hire business licenses are officially limited to just 430 to 455 rowers in Venice, making the market artificially scarce and inflating prices. Gondola rides are always costly, often in a princely way and that expense should be planned in advance of the visit. If you go as a group it might be cheaper, though the number of people who can be accommodated on a gondola varies, usually up to a maximum of six seated passengers. The "traghetti" holds more, mostly standing, as a pair of gondoliers rows short distances for canal crossing purposes at a number of points along the Grand Canal. : Venetians and especially the gondoliers among them have highly conservative ideas about society: by 900 years of tradition, all gondoliers must be male and most are born locals. In 2015, the highest court in Rome recognized Alex Hai as the "first female gondolier to operate in Venice", after repeated attempts to become officially licensed since 1996. Unable to obtain an official license, Hai began operating as a privage gondolier, also known as ''gondoliers de casada'', and came out as a transgender man in 2017. In August 2010, Giorgia Boscolo became Venice's first fully licensed female gondolier. * If a gondola seems a little pricey, the alternative is to cross the Grand Canal by '''traghetto'''. These only cost €2 to use and are largely gondolas that have seen better days, They are stripped down and used as municipal ferries. In the 1950s there were as many as thirty, but now there are seven points to find them. However some only operate when people are going to and from work. The length of any crossing is just a few minutes. Many visitors enjoy visiting the open air markets near the Rialto Bridge and there is a traghetto station there, at the '''Pescheria''' (fish market) joining the Santa Sophia church along the Strada Nova. You will notice that traghetti passengers tend to '''stand up''', but if you are not comfortable doing so, sitting is possible, if you are careful. * The more adventurous can try the venetian style of rowing through Row Venice or one of the many rowing clubs. === Other === [[File:Venice - Mask gift shop - 3566.jpg|thumb|right|A Mask gift shop near Piazza San Marco]] If you are looking for something to do, you can always '''shop'''. Venice is packed full of little stores in every corner and crevice. The commonest local specialties are Carnival masks, glass, and marbled paper. Price can vary wildly, so it's a good idea to hold off buying until you have a fair idea about the relative value of things. As is the case with most tourist cities, a lot of the "original" and "made in Venice" items are actually made in China. [[Murano]] is an island famous for its glass making. Almost in every shop you will find "original [[Murano]] glass" items. If it was really made in [[Murano]], it would be prohibitively expensive, with prices routinely running into thousands of euros. So if you are looking for cheap souvenirs, real [[Murano]] glass is not the thing to buy! You can also see glass making demonstrations in [[Murano]], but be sure to check that there is a demonstration scheduled for that day. And it is normally not done in winter either. [[File:Cimitero, Venice.jpg|thumb|right|San Michele Cemetery Island, Cimitero stop]] Spend a '''day on the islands''', mainly [[Murano]], [[Burano]] and Torcello. There are boat services to all these islands at scheduled times, including between the islands themselves. Be prepared for long lines and long waits for the boats between islands. The Glass Museum in [[Murano]] and the Lace Museum in [[Burano]] are certainly worth a visit. In [[Burano]] you will find some of the most picturesque streets and houses, with each house sporting a different pastel shade. Its really beautiful. Though there is not much to see in Torcello except for the old church, and the supposed "Throne of Atilla". However, the peace and tranquility of the island is not to be found anywhere else in Venice! Torcello is also home to a very expensive Cipriani restaurant. But just walking around on these islands is a nice enough experience. If you've had enough of the hype and the other tourists, hop off the vaporetto at 'Cimitero', Venice's graveyard for a peaceful walk. There are many famous tombs, and the section dedicated to deceased children is particularly haunting. There is also a free toilet there. While going through Venice, make sure you take in the beauty of it all. '''Walk''' through the alley ways, and take the water taxi to different parts of the island, sometimes at night you can just go sit in an open area and watch locals and tourists passing by. It is wonderful. There are many museums and churches that are around the city that allow tourists to go in a visit. They are many great sights to keep you busy throughout your visit. The “[http://www.visitmuve.it/en/home/ Secret Itineraries in '''Doge's Palace''']” worth a visit, take the visitor into the most secret and fascinating rooms in the Palace. It's better to book in advance. Because Venice is now pretty much only inhabited by tourists and people serving the trade, it gets very quiet by 21:00 and there is very little to do in the evening (outside of eating). There are a few exceptions, like some classical music '''concerts,''' which most probably only play Vivaldi. If you would like to have a '''guide''' to show up the highlights of Venice, you can choose between many offers. There are walking or boat tours, focused on shopping or history or for art lovers, and many itineraries. '''Take photos''', using your camera or phone on every corner of Venice will inspire you. And if you have taken good pictures, though you may not be a professional photographer, consider entering the photo competition [http://onedayinvenezia.com "OneDayInVenezia"] running all year round, awarding monthly winners, and dedicated to amateur photographers. The Grand Prize is a week-end in Venice, trip included. Send a '''Postcard''' or even better, an entire '''letter''' dedicated to a loved one (the old "snail mail" one, not the electronic variety)! Venice has a long, celebrated tradition in postal services, paper and written communication in general (including one of the earliest medieval book printing houses). Venice it's also '''Riviera del Brenta''' old canals. The Riviera del Brenta is famous for its extraordinary Palladian villas along the Brenta river, its museums and historical buildings and it is 40 km (25 miles) from Venice. This Riviera and its mainland include 7 small cities: Stra, Fiesso d’Artico, Dolo, Fossò, Mira, Oriago and Malcontenta. These places are good for '''cycling excursions''' and to see antique Palladian Villas built on the Brenta river. In Stra village, there is the '''famous gardens of Villa Pisani''' and the '''museum of the shoes''' is in Villa Foscarini Rossi. In this last museum you can admire 1,500 models of Italian-made shoes created in local factories for major brands including Fendi, Genny, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Ungaro, Anne Kleyn, Richard Tyles and Vera Wang. In Dolo village you can visit the square, old watermill (XI century) and big open air market. * {{do | name=Teatro San Gallo | alt= | url=http://www.teatrosangallo.net | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 041 2412002 | tollfree= | fax= | hours=Nov-Apr: 19:00, May-Oct: 20:00 | price=€39, seniors €35, students €25, children €15 | lastedit=2015-04-10 | content=Half-hour documentary based on the BBC series ''Francesco's Venice'' - an 'amazing film that puts the spectacular beauty of this great city in historical context'.

Consequently, most of the Venetians working in Venice still own or work at a shop. If the pride of the Republic of Venice was the extreme diversity and quality of goods and services which could be found in Venice, these days, however, mass tourism led Venice to be populated with many shops selling low-quality souvenirs. The local shops are suffering a lot from this situation and it is not easy to identify them within the crowd of shops selling harmful imported goods. Buying from the '''authentic local businesses''' has never been more important as it is essential to the future of the Venetians and guarantees you to get the real thing and to have a much better experience of Venice. It is not easy, though. Thankfully, there is a social enterprise based in Venice, which works closely with the Venetian business owners (shops, restaurants and bars included). They have a certification process where the local artisan shops attest and commit to be selling products both authentic and sustainable as well as to give a 10% discount to the customers carrying a '''[http://veneziaautentica.com/become-friend Venezia Autentica Friends' Pass]''' (buyable online for only {{EUR|10}}). Euronet runs the majority of ATMs within tourist areas, and carry both hefty ATM fees and extortionate exchange rates. To avoid the extortionate exchange rates, you should reject the first currency conversion offered to you, which will allow you to default to your bank's rate. When possible, you should use ATMs provided by actual banks and financial institutions. The Credit Agricole ATM machines are notable because they do not charge ATM fees or offer excessive currency conversion rates for most Visa Debit and Prepaid cards. *{{buy | name=Atelier Marega | url=http://marega.it | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=A hand-made mask and costume shop. }} *{{buy | name=Fanny | alt=gloves & accessories | url=http://www.fannygloves.it | email=fannygloves@hotmail.it | address=Calle dei Saoneri, San Polo 2723 | lat= | long= | directions=100m west of Cà Foscari, near Campo San Polo | phone=+39 041 5228266 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=Hundreds of leather gloves in all colours. }} *{{buy | name=Francis Model | alt=leather articles | url= | email=ruggero.dezorzi@libero.it | address=Ruga Rialto, San Polo 773/A | lat= | long= | directions=100m SW of Rialto bridge | phone=+39 041 5212889 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=Locally made leather bags.

Just like in every major Italian city, you get the big fashion brand names. For label clothing shopping, the best area is that around the Piazza San Marco, where you can find Versace, MaxMara, Gucci, Armani, Louis Vuitton, Prada (and numerous more) big names. If you want to shop for clothing or accessories, though, you don't necessarily have to shop through the biggest names in fashion - in the Campo Santo Stefano and Calle della Mandola, you can get less famous or local boutiques, but you can find some excellent quality and/or unique items such as clothes, shoes, wallets or handbags. Watch out also for the hand-made paper and the exquisite miniature buildings made by Moro. Watch out for fakes; Moro "signs" his name on the back. Also, beware of fakes and "free" trips to neighboring [[Murano]] for its famous glass. (See article for details.) Tourist Traps: "Coloured Pasta" and "Venetian Limoncello" (not the original napolitan one) are not Italian food, no Italian would ever eat them, they are particularly made for tourists. For typical regional Italian food in food shops check the labels to discover where they have been made. Don't miss the '''Rialto''' market on San Polo, the smallest sestiere. The Rialto market is for shoppers. To the east is an area of small shops and restaurants; to the west is the Rialto farmers' market. Shopping is slightly less expensive than in the tourist-filled Piazza San Marco. === Murano Glass === * {{buy | name=L’Isola | alt= | url=https://www.lisola.com/ | email=info@lisola.com | address=Calle de le Botteghe, San Marco 2970 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 041 523 1973 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{buy | name=Archimede Seguso | alt= | url=http://aseguso.com/en# | email= | address=San Marco 143 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 041 5289041 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{buy | name=Venini | alt= | url=http://venini.com/en/ | email=venezia@venini.it | address=Piazzetta Leoncini, San Marco 314 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 041 5224045 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} == Eat == {{movetodistrict}} [[File:Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti WB.jpg|thumb|Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti]] Typical Venetian dishes are: * ''Fegato alla veneziana'', chopped liver, cooked with chopped onions. * ''Sarde in saor'': fried sardines, dipped in fried onion, raisins and pine nuts, spices and vinegar. It has to marinate at least one night. Venice has some wonderful restaurants, featuring the cuisine of the Veneto. However it is widely regarded that the restaurants in Venice serve food of a quality and in quantities much lower than anywhere else in Italy. The pizza in Venice is well known as being the worst in Italy (It is a more southern Italian speciality). For Americans, you can find a place called Quanto Basta pizza that serves an American-style pizza with pepperoni and french fries. Specialties include polenta, made of corn meal; risotto with cuttlefish ink sauce. Diners should however be aware that for every genuinely wonderful restaurant or trattoria, there's another serving rubbish food at inflated prices, especially in the most touristed streets around San Marco. Rule of thumb: if there's a waiter outside pimping for business, it's probably best avoided. Near the Rialto bridge there's a row of restaurants with tables by the canal, where you can have the quintessential Venice experience of dining by the canal lights. Although they do have waiters outside bugging you, some have pretty acceptable quality for price, which is almost always expensive anyway. One of Venice's trademark foods is cuttlefish and its ink. This intense black ink serves as a sauce and ingredient for polenta (corn meal), risotto (rice), and pasta. These dishes are normally indicated by the Italian words "nella seppia" (in cuttlefish), "alla seppia" (in the style of cuttlefish), or "nero di seppia," (black of the cuttlefish). For example, Polenta Nella Seppia is fried corn meal with the black ink of a cuttle fish. Despite the intensity in color, the ink has a surprisingly mild taste. Be careful when the prices are on a weight basis (typically by the "etto", abbreviated "/hg". or 100 g). One dish can easily contain 400g of fish or meat (almost a pound) - coming to 4 times the indicated base price! Restaurants might offer low prices for food on their menus that they advertise outside the entrance, but they will sometimes compensate this by charging high prices for drinks (which is naturally *not* advertised). €5 for 33 cl of beer is not uncommon. Le Bauta, an eatery on Fond del Gaffaro, is a good example. Also, please make sure that you get your change back after payment as sometimes it may be 'forgotten' by the waiters. For fresh fruit (including chilled coconut) watch out for the street market stalls. There is always a boat parked in the canal on campo San Barnaba selling fruit and vegetables into the late hours. To save money at lunch, eat standing up - that's what Venetians themselves do. Every cafe, trattoria, osteria, enoteca or whatever it chooses to call itself is stocked at lunchtime with cicchetti - Venetian tapas, including tramezzini (triangular sandwiches on white bread), bite-sized rolls with various cold cuts, polpette (fried balls of minced fish or meat) and assorted antipasti. Order by pointing at what you want on the glass shelves, and wash the whole thing down with a glass of wine (un' ombra) or a spritz (made with, in order of bitterness and alcohol content, Aperol, Campari or Select). Bear in mind that as soon as you allow yourself to sit at the table and be waited on, instead of ordering and consuming your food at the counter, the prices for the same items go up - you can end up paying double. If you look at the (government-mandated) chart of prices stapled to the wall near the bar, you'll see 2 columns of numbers, accommodating this arrangement. However, sitting is worth it if you plan on staying a while. Some places will also serve free bread and water for seated patrons, but then there is usually also a small charge (€1-3 per person) for "pane e coperto" (bread and cover charge). If self-catering, the Rialto food markets are an absolute must for fruit, vegetables and cheese, but most of all for the huge range of seafood, much of it fresh out of the lagoon and still moving! There are a variety of small stores around the city that sell fruits and vegetables, but tourists will be hard-pressed to find them. Anything else you will find in the one of the few supermarkets in the city. Head to the Dorsoduro area of Venice if you want to save a few euros. It is located on the south side of the city. It has the highest concentration of places where locals, especially students, go to eat. Generally staying away from the main squares will be the cheapest option. If you're willing and able to walk around the town, some back streets offer the best food for the lowest price. Seeing the city from this vantage point is a lot of fun too! === Budget === * There are a few '''supermarkets''' in the city, so if you are in the need to save some money, these are an option as they serve a wide array of prepared and semi-prepared food. On the main street from the station to the Rialto bridge there is a Coop and a Billa supermarket. * Venetian snacks (cichetti) can be brilliantly inventive, in small "tapas-style" serving sizes. Look for places (especially wine bars) popular with non-tourists, the prices are very reasonable. * There are still many small bakery shops and "biavaroli" where you can buy bread, cheese etc., particularly near the Rialto market area. * If you want to buy water (Venice has excellent free tap water easily accessible at the numerous fountains located outside throughout the city) it is usually cheapest to get it at the supermarkets: there are Billa or Co-op stores located throughout the city, though supermarkets are often "disguised" in nondescript buildings in Venice for space limitations. ====In various locations==== * {{eat | name=Pizzeria Ae Oche | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit= | content=A local establishment with several locations in the city.

You can find it in almost every bar in the city. Price is about €5, more in a touristy place. If you try the famous Veneto '''Grappa''' be careful as it is brandy with 30 to 60 per cent alcohol. The '''Bellini''' was invented in Harry's Bar in Venice. It is a mix of white peach juice and Prosecco (the ubiquitous Venetian Champagne-like sparkling wine). Fermented at a low temperature Prosecco develops amylic aromas (fruit drops), though these perhaps mix better with fruit juices than does the more austere Champagne. Classic Bellinis should never be made with Champagne. Although by normal standards expensive, a Bellini in Harry's Bar (€17 for a 1.5 oz drink is obscene) is still much cheaper than on the terraces of similar '5-star' establishments in the city. '''Beer''' in a small pub is about €5 for a pint (birra media). '''Espresso''', the real Italian, is about €1 at the bar, €2 at a table. === Coffee === [[File:Venice - Cafe - 4125.jpg|thumb|right|A cafe in Piazza di San Marco]] Coffee is everywhere in Venice, and both Venetians and the tourists avail themselves of the opportunities, usually by downing a quick dose at the counter (see warning about sit-down prices above). Rule of thumb: the bigger (and shinier) the espresso machine, the better the result. * {{drink | name=E Rosa Salva | alt= | url=http://www.rosasalva.it/ | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit= | content=One of the favorites is the mini-chain "E Rosa Salva", with three locations in the center - on C.

Salvadore (off the campo of the same name), and right on Campo San Zanipolo (to the right of the church looking from the canal); the last one is a gelateria as well. For your €1 you'll get exactly 2 and a half sips at the bottom of a small cup, with rich crema and no bitterness.

The café has its own outdoor orchestra playing an assortment of Italian music. Just sitting down at the table costs €6 per seat (for the orchestra it says on the menu) and the rest on the menu is at least twice the price you would have paid at home.

Piazza San Marco is not one of them, although it is very pleasant with many people wandering around late. The actual late night scene is in either '''Campo Santa Margherita''', near the University Ca' Foscari in Dorsoduro; or in '''Erbaria''' on the West side of the Rialto Bridge where the main vegetable market is held during the day. Even though there are many fantastic bars in Venice, if you're planning a night time "pub crawl" you should plan a few places to visit in advance, otherwise it's very easy to waste an hour wandering aimlessly in search of a watering hole that's open, especially midweek. Locals in search of nighttime entertainment mostly head over the bridge into Mestre, or hop on the boat to Lido. One exception: F.ta della Misericordia, in Cannaregio (north from the Ghetto over the Ghetto Nuove bridge, turn right), features several bars in succession, anchored by the ''Paradiso Perduto'' (Cannaregio 2640; a restaurant by day, live music on Sundays starting at 21:00), along the canal. In season they are spilling over after dark with youths holding large glasses of rosé, while more of those same youths are cruising (in motor boats) blaring rap songs in Italian from the loudspeakers. The cafes and bars lining the expansive C. Santa Margherita are catering to the students from the nearby university; chill out to reggae sets in ''Caffé Rosso'' (Dorsoduro 2963; it's the one with the red awning that simply says ''Caffe''), or dance (Saturdays only) at ''Round Midnight'' (Dorsoduro 3102). Those looking for LGBT nightlife in Venice will be disappointed. Hop on the train to [[Padua]] instead. * {{drink | name=Bistrot de Venise | alt= | url=http://www.bistrotdevenise.com | email= | address=Calle dei Fabbri, San Marco 4685 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours=22:00 until late night | price= | content=Restaurant, cultural and enogastronomical meetings. }} === Pubs === There are two Irish pubs in Venice.

This 15th-century building that was substantially altered in the early 17th century now houses the Guardia di Finanza.]] Due to the historic city's constrained area and international popularity hotels are expensive. Bed and Breakfasts and guesthouses offer better rates. Real budget solutions (like campings and hostels) can be found in [[Mestre | '''Mestre''']] (mainland Venice) and on the island of '''[[Lido]]'''. Alternative accommodation can be also found on the island of '''[[Murano]]'''. These are worth considering since historic centre is quite well connected with bus and ferries, so staying further from the centre is not such a big problem. In the last few years, holiday or short rentals apartments have increased in number and quality, now you can rent (minimum stay is usually 3 nights) a Palazzo on the Grand Canal as a little flat near Rialto. === Bed and Breakfast === * {{sleep | name=Bed and Breakfast Venice Ca' del Pozzo | alt= | url=http://cadelpozzo.it | email= | address= | lat=45.4329955 | long= 12.3320963 | directions= | phone=+39 041-2413875 | tollfree= | fax=+39 041-2443203 | price= | checkin= | checkout= | lastedit=2022-04-01 | content=Completely restructured in 2003, in the characteristic Campo San Maurizio. }} * {{sleep | name=Bed and Breakfast Ca'Dor | alt= | url=http://bedandbreakfastvenice.net | email= | address= | lat= 45.4406559 | long= 12.3372800 | directions= | phone=+39 392 3906152 | tollfree= | fax= | price=Rooms about 55€ in low-season, 100€ in high season | checkin= | checkout= | lastedit=2022-04-01 | content=Venetian style rooms in the centre, 3 minutes from Rialto's Bridge. }} === Budget === In the city of '''Mestre''' just in front of Venice is the A&O Hostel with shared rooms for about 17–23€ per night (July 2022). * {{sleep | name=Ai Do Mori | alt= | url=http://hotelaidomori.com | email= | address=San Marco 658 | lat=45.4351365 | long=12.3392159 | directions= | phone=+39 041 5204817 | tollfree= | fax=+39 041 5205328 | checkin= | checkout= | price= | lastedit=2022-07-01 | content=As close as it gets to Piazza San Marco, but on the second and third floor, so it still is quiet at nights.

The city has been steadily building out the municipal Wi-Fi network, which now covers almost the entire area around the Grand Canal and some of the larger squares in the center. You can buy guest access at approximately €5 per day at the same unified Venezia Unica site where the transport and museum passes are sold. However if you only need occasional access, it may not be worth buying this as you can get free wifi at most accommodations and at a lot of the museums in Venice. Venice has several internet cafes, but they are much more expensive than the rest of Europe with prices for an hour of access around €6. Wi-Fi is only available at some of them. There's a wonderful pub, Cafe Blue in Dorsoduro, which has free (password-protected) wi-fi. Buy a spritz and a panini and go to town. At the Telecom Italia Future Centre in Campo San Salvatore (San Marco) you can browse for free for one hour, once registered with your ID card. To use an Internet cafe, buy a mobile SIM card or get a contract for an Internet connection. Personal identification is needed by law in Italy. Internet cafes will not let you use computers without a passport or national ID card. Calle Delle Botteghe on San Marco 2970 Venezia is a pretty art gallery type internet cafe with a book shop. It is on the expensive side with €3 for 15 min but you can just go in and play chess with a glass of wine. == Stay safe == Venice is considered a safe city. You have to take the habitual travellers' precautions however. Keep your valuable items (like wallet and passport) close to you because there are pickpockets, especially in more crowded parts of the city. In case of need, you can dial free of charge on any phone '''112''' (no area code needed) to contact Carabinieri or '''113''' (no area code needed) to contact the Police. ==Stay healthy== Venice has begun to install septic tanks in buildings, but much of the city has not yet been upgraded and releases untreated sewage directly into the canals. Avoid bathing yourself, touching the water, immersing feet, etc. in the canals looking for refreshment in hot season. Also, at night there is a risk of falling into the water, as there are many alleys which end in the water but have little or no lighting. In the warmest months, these conditions can sometimes generate foul odors. Choose other times to visit if they might ruin what should be a highly enjoyable stay. Current regulations forbid certain behaviour, including bathing in the canals and walking around in a swimsuit or bare-chested. Violations are subject to fines up to €500. More information available on [https://www.comune.venezia.it/en/content/enjoyrespectvenezia #EnjoyRespectVenezia website]. You can reach the emergency medical service dialing free of charge on any phone '''118''' (no area code needed, conversation will be recorded) to have assistance and an ambulance sent to you. Chemists' shops (Italian: ''Farmacie'') are all around the town. They are open 24 hr a day, 7 days a week on a rotational basis: outside the shop there's always the list of operating ones with time-table, address and phone number. If you need a special drug you might be asked to book it in advance if it's not in common use. Note that the commercial name or brand of your prescription might differ from your country of origin, and make sure that the medication you want is available in the EU. == Respect == The city officials state that it is necessary to enforce rules that preserve the city's urban cleanliness and make sure visitors behave themselves. The following tips will come in handy: * '''Do not bathe, dive into, or swim in the canals'''; it is not only dangerous and unhealthy, but it is punishable by a fine of up to €350 and the police can restrict your movement in the area where the offence was committed. * '''Do not sit down on the ground and eat'''; it is punishable by a fine of up to €200 and the police can restrict your movement in the area where the offence was committed. * '''Do not camp in public areas'''; it is punishable by a fine of up to €200 and the police can restrict your movement in the area where the offence was committed. * '''Do not walk around bare-chested or in swimwear'''; it is punishable by a fine of up to €250. == Cope == === Orientation === The unfortunate side-effect of the small alleys which make Venice such a delight to visit is that it is remarkably easy to get lost. Even maps provided by hotels are frequently inaccurate, and the maze-like structure of the city can become very confusing. The tight cluster of little islands that comprise Venice is completely surrounded by the Lagoon, so it is not possible, no matter how lost you become, to leave Venice on foot. Sooner or later you will come upon a piazza that you can locate on your map. One tip: as you cross bridges, note the house numbers before and after. A small change probably means you are on the same island/district and have crossed a "new" canal. A major change means you are now on another island. Most maps clump islands together into their voting districts, there are many more islands than districts. One piece of assistance is to look for directional signs. These will be marked "Per" and then with the name of a prominent location or bridge in the city, complete with an arrow pointing in the relevant direction. Hence, to get to the Rialto bridge, the signs to follow are marked "Per Rialto". Those to St Mark's Square read "Per S Marco", and those to the train station "Per Ferrovia" (there are some others as well). Having oriented yourself to the nearest landmark, direction-finding can thus become (slightly) easier. Remember, though, that the signs to read are the ''official'' ones. Graffiti will occasionally give other directions, frequently incorrect ones. That said, some argue that getting lost in Venice is part of the experience of the city. The number of photogenic canals, hidden restaurants and shops where glass blowing is done almost guarantees that there is no such thing as a "dull neighbourhood". Additionally, the public transport means that it is relatively easy to arrive at the intended destination even after one has emerged from the web of alleys in a totally unexpected place. === Overcrowding === While Venice may not get more tourists than other famous [[Italy|Italian]] destinations as [[Rome]] and [[Florence]], the narrowness of streets and open areas may at times make Venice feel ''uncomfortably'' crowded during (but not only) the peak seasons, at the San Marco ''sestiere'', the surroundings of the Rialto bridge and the streets leading from Venezia Santa Lucia and Piazzale Roma to San Marco. Walking by itself can be difficult, let alone snapping a good photo, using a public lavatory, or sitting at a decent cafe or restaurant. To avoid the worst of the crowds, unless it is winter, try to visit the San Marco and Rialto bridge areas during early morning and late evening. During the late morning and afternoon, stay away as far as possible from this area, for instance walking around west Santa Croce, north Canarregio, eastern Castello and Giudecca. Alternatively, take day trips to places outside central Venice such as [[Burano]], the [[Lido]], [[Padua]] or [[Vicenza]], or simply take the opportunity to refresh in your hotel. === Useful telephone numbers === * {{listing | name=Police (emergency call) | phone=113 }} * {{listing | name=Carabinieri (emergency call) | phone=112 }} * {{listing | name=First Aid (emergency call) | phone=118 }} * {{listing | name=Venice Hospital | phone=+39 041 5294111 }} * {{listing | name=Medical Service on Duty | phone=+39 041 5294060 }} * {{listing | name=Tourist Information | phone=+39 041 5298700 }} * {{listing | name=Gondola Service San Marco | phone=+39 041 5200685 }} * {{listing | name=Gondola Service Rialto | phone=+39 041 5224904 }} * {{listing | name=Gondola Service Danieli | phone=+39 041 5222254 }} * {{listing | name=Airport San Marco Information | phone=+39 041 2609260 }} * {{listing | name=Airport San Marco Lost and Found Office | phone=+39 041 2609222 }} * {{listing | name=Railway information | phone=892021 (in country only) }} * {{listing | name=Railway Lost and Found Office | phone=+39 041 785531 }} === Consulates === Most of the consulates listed here are only honorary consulates, so can only offer limited consular services.

Venice has decayed since its heyday and suffers from overtourism, but the romantic charm remains. It is also known as the birthplace of composers Tomaso Albinoni and Antonio Vivaldi. Venice and its lagoon are a [[UNESCO World Heritage site]]. It used to be an independent republic, and remains one of Italy's most important cities, with a quarter million inhabitants. ==Districts== {{mapframe|show=districtmap|name=Map of Venice's six historic ''sestieri'' (districts)}} {{mapshape|type=geoshape|group=districtmap|wikidata=Q52423,Q844263|fill=#487db8|title=[[Venice/Cannaregio|Cannaregio]]}} {{mapshape|type=geoshape|group=districtmap|wikidata=Q52425,Q2118904|fill=#b569b5|title=[[Venice/Castello|Castello]]}} {{mapshape|type=geoshape|group=districtmap|wikidata=Q52422,Q52435|fill=#6e73e2|title=[[Venice/Dorsoduro|Dorsoduro]]}} {{mapshape|type=geoshape|group=districtmap|wikidata=Q52429|fill=#7ad88d|title=[[Venice/San Polo|San Polo]]}} {{mapshape|type=geoshape|group=districtmap|wikidata=Q52428,Q1758658|fill=#e7ef5d|title=[[Venice/Santa Croce|Santa Croce]]}} {{mapshape|type=geoshape|group=districtmap|wikidata=Q52427,Q126327|fill=#de725d|title=[[Venice/San Marco|San Marco]]}} {{regionlist | region1name=[[Venice/San Marco|San Marco]] | region1color=#de725d | region1description=Sharpen your elbows and get to stepping.

The ''comune'' (municipality) of Venice lies at the coast of northern Italy. It is made up of many islands in the Venetian Lagoon and a stretch of ''terraferma'' (mainland). The comune is divided into six boroughs, the most famous of which (known as ''Venezia Insulare'') comprises the historic city of Venice as well as the islands of Giudecca, [[Venice/Murano|Murano]], [[Burano]], [[Torcello]], [[Mazzorbo]] and [[Sant'Erasmo]]. [[Lido]] and [[Mestre]] are other popular areas of the comune. The historic city is divided into six ''sestieri'' (districts): [[Venice/Cannaregio|Cannaregio]], [[Venice/Castello|Castello]], [[Venice/Dorsoduro|Dorsoduro]], [[Venice/San Polo|San Polo]], [[Venice/Santa Croce|Santa Croce]] and finally [[Venice/San Marco|San Marco]], where the main monuments and sights are. Each sestiere uses separate house numbers, however they are ''not'' allocated in a specific pattern. === History === {{See also|Medieval and Renaissance Italy}} The '''Most Serene Republic of Venice''' dates back to 827, when a Byzantine Duke moved its seat to what is now known as the Rialto, and for the following 970 years, it prospered on trade (especially from the [[Silk Road]]) and under the rule of a Roman-style Senate headed by the '''Doge'''. Eventually, the Republic of Venice grew into a powerful city-state, and the cradle of [[Medieval and Renaissance Italy|Italian renaissance]]. In the late 15th century, the [[Ottoman Empire]]'s expansion around the Mediterranean, new routes on the high seas shifted commerce to the Atlantic, demoting Venice's political status. The city remains a centre for the arts. One of the significant events in the history of Venice was the opening of the first public opera house in 1637, which allowed members of the general public (those who could afford to pay for the tickets) to enjoy what was once court entertainment reserved for the aristocracy, thus allowing the genre of opera to flourish. Venice was an important destination of the [[Grand Tour]] from the 17th century. In 1797, the city was conquered by Napoleon, a blow from which it never recovered. The city was soon absorbed into [[Austro-Hungarian Empire|Austria-Hungary]], then ping-ponged back and forth between Austria and a nascent Italy, but Venice is still a monument to the glory days of the Renaissance, and historical culture still throbs powerfully in the old Italians' veins. === Climate === {{Weather box | metric first=y | single line=y | Jan high C = 6.6 | Feb high C = 9.6 | Mar high C = 14.5 | Apr high C = 20.1 | May high C = 23.5 | Jun high C = 25.9 | Jul high C = 27.7 | Aug high C = 27.5 | Sep high C = 24.4 | Oct high C = 20.0 | Nov high C = 12.6 | Dec high C = 7.4 | year high C = 17.2 | Jan mean C = 3.3 | Feb mean C = 4.7 | Mar mean C = 8.3 | Apr mean C = 12.0 | May mean C = 17.1 | Jun mean C = 20.5 | Jul mean C = 23.0 | Aug mean C = 22.6 | Sep mean C = 18.9 | Oct mean C = 13.8 | Nov mean C = 7.8 | Dec mean C = 4.0 | year mean C = 13.0 | Jan low C = −0.1 | Feb low C = 0.8 | Mar low C = 5.1 | Apr low C = 9.8 | May low C = 13.7 | Jun low C = 16.1 | Jul low C = 18.3 | Aug low C = 17.7 | Sep low C = 14.3 | Oct low C = 9.6 | Nov low C = 4.0 | Dec low C = 0.6 | year low C = 8.8 | Jan precipitation mm = 47.0 | Feb precipitation mm = 48.3 | Mar precipitation mm = 48.8 | Apr precipitation mm = 70.0 | May precipitation mm = 66.0 | Jun precipitation mm = 78.0 | Jul precipitation mm = 63.9 | Aug precipitation mm = 64.8 | Sep precipitation mm = 72.0 | Oct precipitation mm = 73.5 | Nov precipitation mm = 65.5 | Dec precipitation mm = 50.6 | year precipitation mm = 748.4 | Jan humidity = 81 | Feb humidity = 77 | Mar humidity = 75 | Apr humidity = 75 | May humidity = 73 | Jun humidity = 74 | Jul humidity = 71 | Aug humidity = 72 | Sep humidity = 75 | Oct humidity = 77 | Nov humidity = 79 | Dec humidity = 81 | year humidity = 75.8 | unit precipitation days = 1.0 mm | Jan precipitation days = 6.0 | Feb precipitation days = 5.2 | Mar precipitation days = 5.7 | Apr precipitation days = 8.3 | May precipitation days = 8.2 | Jun precipitation days = 8.6 | Jul precipitation days = 5.9 | Aug precipitation days = 6.1 | Sep precipitation days = 5.9 | Oct precipitation days = 6.7 | Nov precipitation days = 5.8 | Dec precipitation days = 5.9 | Jan sun = 80.6 | Feb sun = 107.4 | Mar sun = 142.6 | Apr sun = 174.0 | May sun = 229.4 | Jun sun = 243.0 | Jul sun = 288.3 | Aug sun = 257.3 | Sep sun = 198.0 | Oct sun = 151.9 | Nov sun = 87.0 | Dec sun = 77.5 | year sun = 2037.0 | source 1 = [http://clima.meteoam.it/AtlanteClim2/pdf/(105)Venezia%20Tessera.pdf MeteoAM (sun and humidity 1961–1990) Venezia/Tessera] | source 2 = [http://clima.meteoam.it/viewClino.php?type=File&station=105&name_station=Venezia%20Tessera MeteoAM Tabella CLINO] | date = April 2014 }} Venice has a humid-subtropical climate with hot summers and cool winters. For those who don't enjoy the heat, July and August may be the worst time to visit: it's sometimes very hot and often humid, there are mosquitoes and occasional infestations of flies, and there are a ''lot'' of tourists and large crowds. Mid to late spring and early to mid autumn are probably best, a compromise between temperature (expect 10-25°C) and the tourist load. Between November and January, you may manage to feel you have Venice all to yourself, an interesting experience. Beware of the weather during the winter months: it can be quite chilly, windy, and damp. Fog is an additional hazard if you are driving in or out, doubly so in the unlikely chance that you will pilot a boat. But if you've never been to Venice, it's better to go in summer than not to go. You won't regret it. Many cities are far worse in summer. Although Venice has no cars, diesel motors used by boats contribute to less than stellar air quality. '''''Acqua alta''''' (high water) has become a fact of life in Venice. The lagoon water level occasionally rises above the level of the squares and streets, flooding them. This can happen several times a year, at irregular intervals, usually in the colder months. ''Acqua alta'' usually lasts a few hours and coincides with high tide. You'll see raised walkways in side alleys ready to be pulled out when ''acqua alta'' hits. When the city begins to flood, sirens will sound to warn residents and businesses. If you speak fluent Italian, tune into news programs since their predictions of the times the flood begins and ends are usually accurate. Normally, the tide rises and falls in six-hour cycles. You can get an ''acqua alta'' map at the tourist offices either at the railway station or St Mark's Square. This will show you the higher, dry routes and the ones with walkways set up during the various flood alerts. There is a tide measuring station at the Rialto vaporetto piers, and a noticeboard at the base of the Campanile in the Piazza San Marco that shows a live tide reading and predictions for the next few days. == Get in == {{Mapframe|name=Important transfer points|show=go}} Water plays a crucial role in transportation, as Venice is on a lagoon. Whichever way you arrive the last part of your journey will be on foot from the nearest waterbus/watertaxi jetty. Bear this in mind when choosing your hotel location and route to it, especially if you need to carry or wheel bags along the narrow streets. Do note a lot of the higher priced hotels will offer complementary water boat transfers from the airport. === By plane === The Marco Polo Airport and the Treviso Airport serve the city. If no flight suites you, check flying to nearby '''[[Bologna#By_plane|Bologna]]''' or '''[[Verona#By_plane|Verona]]'''. From both cities trains and buses depart to Venice. ==== Marco Polo Airport ==== {{Listing | type = go | name = Marco Polo Airport | alt = {{IATA|VCE}} | url = http://www.veniceairport.it | email = | address = | lat = 45.50528 | long = 12.35194 | directions = on the mainland near [[Mestre]] (a more typical Italian city, without Venice's unique structure) | phone = | tollfree = | fax = | hours = | price = | wikipedia= Venice Marco Polo Airport | wikidata = Q849347 | image = Aeroporto di Venezia - vue aerienne.jpg | lastedit = 2019-08-21 | content = This is the closest commercial airport. }} There are direct flights to and from [[Amsterdam Schiphol]], [[Atlanta Airport]], [[Barcelona El Prat]], Basel, Belfast, Berlin, Bilbao, Birmingham, Bordeaux, Brussels, Casablanca, Chisinau, Cologne-Bonn, [[Copenhagen Airport]], Doha, Dubai, Dublin, Dubrovnik, Düsseldorf, Edinburgh, Eindhoven, [[Frankfurt Airport]], Geneva, Glasgow, Hamburg, Istanbul, Leeds, Le Havre, Lille, Lisbon, London, Luxembourg, Madrid, Manchester, Mars Alam, Marseilles, Metz, Montreal, Moscow, [[Munich Airport]], Mykonos, Nantes, New York.

However, walking and standing all day can also be exhausting, so it is best to pace yourself. The Rialtine islands - the 'main' part of Venice - are small enough to walk from one end to the other in about an hour, provided you don't get lost (a common occurrence). If you want to get around a bit more quickly, there are numerous '''vaporetti (water buses)''' and '''water taxis'''. The vaporetti are generally the best way to get around, even if the service route map changes frequently. If you are going to be in Venice for a few days visiting, it is a lot cheaper to use vaporetti than private water taxis. If you want to have a romantic ride along the canals, take a gondola ride, although they tend to exist for more scenic purposes, rather than getting people from point A to point B. Be warned that GPS navigation services such as Google Maps are notoriously unreliable in Venice. The density of stone buildings makes it fairly difficult to receive a proper GPS satellite signal. Additionally, Venice's complex network of pathways and public transit is poorly documented, and even entire transit services such as the Orange vaporetti Route are undocumented on Google Maps. You can mitigate some of these navigation issues using the Live View function in Google Maps, which uses your camera to orient yourself relative to businesses and landmarks around you. === By public transport === '''[http://www.actv.it/en ACTV]''' runs the vaporetti and other public transport services in the lagoon and on land. * '''Line 1''' runs from Piazzale Roma to Lido, passing the Railway Station (Ferrovia), Canal Grande, Rialto, S.Marco and S.Zaccaria and vice versa, leaving Piazzale Roma every 20 minutes from 05:01 to 06:01 and from 22:21 to 23:41, every 10 minutes from 06:21 to 22:01, leaving Lido every 20 minutes from 04:16 to 05:36 and from 21:46 to 23:06, every 10 minutes from 5:56 to 21:26.

The [http://veniceconnected.com Venice Connected] website of the Comune di Venezia (now integrated into Unica site) makes possible to book online (at least 7 days in advance) most services controlled by the town administration (public transportation, access to the civic museums, access to public restrooms, car park tickets, entrance to the Casinò and access to the municipal WiFi network covering the entire historic centre); the online prices vary according to the projected number of visitors but are always cheaper than the current on-site prices (and cheaper than with a Venice Card). You can also get a '''Venice Card''', which has various options that you can choose when you buy it (public transportation, cultural attractions, toilet access, Alilaguna, etc.) There is a 'Junior' version of the Venice that is available at a slightly reduced rate for those between 5 and 29 years of age. A Venice Card is not recommended for those with less than 3 days in Venice, as most of the top attractions are not included in the Venice Card. If you'll be staying in Venice for a week - get the Venice Card and enjoy travelling from island to island and exploring the various museums and churches it offers access to. Maps are available at the vaporetto stops in the ticket booths.

The city is not that big, and you can walk from one end to the other in a few hours (if you stick to the paths conveniently marked with arrows in the direction of major landmarks). But it would take months for a fit person to discover every path in the city. Make sure to visit some of the smaller alleyways, as they can be very interesting. Along the way you will discover marvelous art, superb architecture and breathtaking urban landscaping. Exploring the city randomly by walking is well worth it but also be prepared to get lost easily! Signs all over the city indicate the direction to the main attractions, "Rialto" and "San Marco", as well as the way back to the train station ("ferrovia") and the bus terminal ("Piazzale Roma"). These signs make it easy to have the "get lost experience" even as a one-day tourist. For a faster and safer walk, you should walk on the right side. Be aware that addresses in Venice are of the form "District Number" (the Venetian word for district is "Sestiere"), not "Street Number". To find a specific place using a map, make sure you know which district it is in. The numbers are assigned at the start of the district and increase as they move farther away from the Grand Canal. === By water taxi === [[File:View of the Grand Canal from Rialto to Ca'Foscari.jpg|thumb|360px|right|Grand Canal from Rialto to SW]] Water taxis (''taxi acquei'') are operated by Coop.

Two events organised by Biennale are the Art and Architecture International Exhibitions happening alternately (Architecture Biennale in even years, Art Biennale in odd) but other fields are also covered - contemporary theatre, dance, music, cinema ('''[http://www.labiennale.org/en/cinema Venice International Film Festival]'''). Exhibitions take place mostly in two locations: {{marker|type=do|name=Arsenale|url=https://www.labiennale.org/en/venues/arsenale|lat=45.43347|long=12.35058}} and {{marker|type=do|name=Giardini|url=https://www.labiennale.org/en/venues/giardini-della-biennale|lat=45.42885|long=12.35797}}. They are both worth visiting even when no event is scheduled. Arsenale is the largest pre-industrial production centre in the world, dating back to 13th century, and Giardini is architectural gem filled with national pavilions from different parts of the world, often designed by famous architects, it was a venue for the International Art Exhibition since the 19th century. ** {{event | name=Art Biennale | url=http://www.labiennale.org/en/art | alt=Esposizione internazionale d’arte | year=2022| month= April| date= 23 | endyear= | endmonth= November| enddate=27 | phone=+39 041 5218711 | email=aav@labiennale.org | location= | country= | content=It is held at Arsenale (vaporetto line 4.1 and 4.2 to Arsenale) and Giardini (vaporetto line 4.1 and 4.2 to Giardini).

Vogalonga competitors must row 32 km under 3½ hours to receive a certificate of attendance at the finish line, but everybody with a human-powered vessel is welcome to participate (some foreigner teams take up to 10 hours to complete the journey just for the fun of it). The official purpose of the Vogalonga was to protest the sharply increasing use of powerboats in Venice, but the event has gradually grown into a festival since 1974, with up to 5500 racers in 1500 vessels attending by the early 2000s. The racetrack visits different parts of Venice as well as some of the nearby islands. Locals and tourists lining up alongside rios and canals cheer the racers. Visitors wishing to participate should have serious experience in rowing or sculling and practise duely, as the journey is physically demanding (even seasoned oarsmen develop calluses by the finish line). The event is mainly for teams, completing Voga Longa on a single oar is considered a major achievement. Extreme participation (scuba frogmen and surface swimmers) sometimes occurs, but it is not recommended due to water contamination issues.

The vaporetti are expensive, but the sights are priceless: amazing architecture, soft seaside sunlight, and a fascinating parade of Venetian watercraft. * Take a '''gondola''' if you can afford it: it's expensive, but the ''Gondoliere'' may decrease the price if you ask (but they can also decrease the time...). Make sure you reach an agreement on price and time before you start! A good tip with the Gondolieres is to bargain the price down as low as you can, then say that it's still too much and walk away. Two or three of them will chase after you, one after the other, each offering a lower price than the last. It's possible to knock €20-€30 off the price (even then, be prepared to shell out €80). : Some guidebooks discourage tourists from asking for gondola price reductions. The oarsmen have an informal habit of cutting the most interesting and little-known parts from the journey path for "discount" customers. Reduced rate riders get much less marvel in exchange for a moderate price drop, which may not be worth it. : Gondolier-for-hire business licenses are officially limited to just 430 to 455 rowers in Venice, making the market artificially scarce and inflating prices. Gondola rides are always costly, often in a princely way and that expense should be planned in advance of the visit. If you go as a group it might be cheaper, though the number of people who can be accommodated on a gondola varies, usually up to a maximum of six seated passengers. The "traghetti" holds more, mostly standing, as a pair of gondoliers rows short distances for canal crossing purposes at a number of points along the Grand Canal. : Venetians and especially the gondoliers among them have highly conservative ideas about society: by 900 years of tradition, all gondoliers must be male and most are born locals. In 2015, the highest court in Rome recognized Alex Hai as the "first female gondolier to operate in Venice", after repeated attempts to become officially licensed since 1996. Unable to obtain an official license, Hai began operating as a privage gondolier, also known as ''gondoliers de casada'', and came out as a transgender man in 2017. In August 2010, Giorgia Boscolo became Venice's first fully licensed female gondolier. * If a gondola seems a little pricey, the alternative is to cross the Grand Canal by '''traghetto'''. These only cost €2 to use and are largely gondolas that have seen better days, They are stripped down and used as municipal ferries. In the 1950s there were as many as thirty, but now there are seven points to find them. However some only operate when people are going to and from work. The length of any crossing is just a few minutes. Many visitors enjoy visiting the open air markets near the Rialto Bridge and there is a traghetto station there, at the '''Pescheria''' (fish market) joining the Santa Sophia church along the Strada Nova. You will notice that traghetti passengers tend to '''stand up''', but if you are not comfortable doing so, sitting is possible, if you are careful. * The more adventurous can try the venetian style of rowing through Row Venice or one of the many rowing clubs. === Other === [[File:Venice - Mask gift shop - 3566.jpg|thumb|right|A Mask gift shop near Piazza San Marco]] If you are looking for something to do, you can always '''shop'''. Venice is packed full of little stores in every corner and crevice. The commonest local specialties are Carnival masks, glass, and marbled paper. Price can vary wildly, so it's a good idea to hold off buying until you have a fair idea about the relative value of things. As is the case with most tourist cities, a lot of the "original" and "made in Venice" items are actually made in China. [[Murano]] is an island famous for its glass making. Almost in every shop you will find "original [[Murano]] glass" items. If it was really made in [[Murano]], it would be prohibitively expensive, with prices routinely running into thousands of euros. So if you are looking for cheap souvenirs, real [[Murano]] glass is not the thing to buy! You can also see glass making demonstrations in [[Murano]], but be sure to check that there is a demonstration scheduled for that day. And it is normally not done in winter either. [[File:Cimitero, Venice.jpg|thumb|right|San Michele Cemetery Island, Cimitero stop]] Spend a '''day on the islands''', mainly [[Murano]], [[Burano]] and Torcello. There are boat services to all these islands at scheduled times, including between the islands themselves. Be prepared for long lines and long waits for the boats between islands. The Glass Museum in [[Murano]] and the Lace Museum in [[Burano]] are certainly worth a visit. In [[Burano]] you will find some of the most picturesque streets and houses, with each house sporting a different pastel shade. Its really beautiful. Though there is not much to see in Torcello except for the old church, and the supposed "Throne of Atilla". However, the peace and tranquility of the island is not to be found anywhere else in Venice! Torcello is also home to a very expensive Cipriani restaurant. But just walking around on these islands is a nice enough experience. If you've had enough of the hype and the other tourists, hop off the vaporetto at 'Cimitero', Venice's graveyard for a peaceful walk. There are many famous tombs, and the section dedicated to deceased children is particularly haunting. There is also a free toilet there. While going through Venice, make sure you take in the beauty of it all. '''Walk''' through the alley ways, and take the water taxi to different parts of the island, sometimes at night you can just go sit in an open area and watch locals and tourists passing by. It is wonderful. There are many museums and churches that are around the city that allow tourists to go in a visit. They are many great sights to keep you busy throughout your visit. The “[http://www.visitmuve.it/en/home/ Secret Itineraries in '''Doge's Palace''']” worth a visit, take the visitor into the most secret and fascinating rooms in the Palace. It's better to book in advance. Because Venice is now pretty much only inhabited by tourists and people serving the trade, it gets very quiet by 21:00 and there is very little to do in the evening (outside of eating). There are a few exceptions, like some classical music '''concerts,''' which most probably only play Vivaldi. If you would like to have a '''guide''' to show up the highlights of Venice, you can choose between many offers. There are walking or boat tours, focused on shopping or history or for art lovers, and many itineraries. '''Take photos''', using your camera or phone on every corner of Venice will inspire you. And if you have taken good pictures, though you may not be a professional photographer, consider entering the photo competition [http://onedayinvenezia.com "OneDayInVenezia"] running all year round, awarding monthly winners, and dedicated to amateur photographers. The Grand Prize is a week-end in Venice, trip included. Send a '''Postcard''' or even better, an entire '''letter''' dedicated to a loved one (the old "snail mail" one, not the electronic variety)! Venice has a long, celebrated tradition in postal services, paper and written communication in general (including one of the earliest medieval book printing houses). Venice it's also '''Riviera del Brenta''' old canals. The Riviera del Brenta is famous for its extraordinary Palladian villas along the Brenta river, its museums and historical buildings and it is 40 km (25 miles) from Venice. This Riviera and its mainland include 7 small cities: Stra, Fiesso d’Artico, Dolo, Fossò, Mira, Oriago and Malcontenta. These places are good for '''cycling excursions''' and to see antique Palladian Villas built on the Brenta river. In Stra village, there is the '''famous gardens of Villa Pisani''' and the '''museum of the shoes''' is in Villa Foscarini Rossi. In this last museum you can admire 1,500 models of Italian-made shoes created in local factories for major brands including Fendi, Genny, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Ungaro, Anne Kleyn, Richard Tyles and Vera Wang. In Dolo village you can visit the square, old watermill (XI century) and big open air market. * {{do | name=Teatro San Gallo | alt= | url=http://www.teatrosangallo.net | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 041 2412002 | tollfree= | fax= | hours=Nov-Apr: 19:00, May-Oct: 20:00 | price=€39, seniors €35, students €25, children €15 | lastedit=2015-04-10 | content=Half-hour documentary based on the BBC series ''Francesco's Venice'' - an 'amazing film that puts the spectacular beauty of this great city in historical context'.

Consequently, most of the Venetians working in Venice still own or work at a shop. If the pride of the Republic of Venice was the extreme diversity and quality of goods and services which could be found in Venice, these days, however, mass tourism led Venice to be populated with many shops selling low-quality souvenirs. The local shops are suffering a lot from this situation and it is not easy to identify them within the crowd of shops selling harmful imported goods. Buying from the '''authentic local businesses''' has never been more important as it is essential to the future of the Venetians and guarantees you to get the real thing and to have a much better experience of Venice. It is not easy, though. Thankfully, there is a social enterprise based in Venice, which works closely with the Venetian business owners (shops, restaurants and bars included). They have a certification process where the local artisan shops attest and commit to be selling products both authentic and sustainable as well as to give a 10% discount to the customers carrying a '''[http://veneziaautentica.com/become-friend Venezia Autentica Friends' Pass]''' (buyable online for only {{EUR|10}}). Euronet runs the majority of ATMs within tourist areas, and carry both hefty ATM fees and extortionate exchange rates. To avoid the extortionate exchange rates, you should reject the first currency conversion offered to you, which will allow you to default to your bank's rate. When possible, you should use ATMs provided by actual banks and financial institutions.

Just like in every major Italian city, you get the big fashion brand names. For label clothing shopping, the best area is that around the Piazza San Marco, where you can find Versace, MaxMara, Gucci, Armani, Louis Vuitton, Prada (and numerous more) big names. If you want to shop for clothing or accessories, though, you don't necessarily have to shop through the biggest names in fashion - in the Campo Santo Stefano and Calle della Mandola, you can get less famous or local boutiques, but you can find some excellent quality and/or unique items such as clothes, shoes, wallets or handbags. Watch out also for the hand-made paper and the exquisite miniature buildings made by Moro. Watch out for fakes; Moro "signs" his name on the back. Also, beware of fakes and "free" trips to neighboring [[Murano]] for its famous glass. (See article for details.) Tourist Traps: "Coloured Pasta" and "Venetian Limoncello" (not the original napolitan one) are not Italian food, no Italian would ever eat them, they are particularly made for tourists. For typical regional Italian food in food shops check the labels to discover where they have been made. Don't miss the '''Rialto''' market on San Polo, the smallest sestiere. The Rialto market is for shoppers. To the east is an area of small shops and restaurants; to the west is the Rialto farmers' market. Shopping is slightly less expensive than in the tourist-filled Piazza San Marco. === Murano Glass === * {{buy | name=L’Isola | alt= | url=https://www.lisola.com/ | email=info@lisola.com | address=Calle de le Botteghe, San Marco 2970 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 041 523 1973 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{buy | name=Archimede Seguso | alt= | url=http://aseguso.com/en# | email= | address=San Marco 143 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 041 5289041 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{buy | name=Venini | alt= | url=http://venini.com/en/ | email=venezia@venini.it | address=Piazzetta Leoncini, San Marco 314 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 041 5224045 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} == Eat == {{movetodistrict}} [[File:Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti WB.jpg|thumb|Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti]] Typical Venetian dishes are: * ''Fegato alla veneziana'', chopped liver, cooked with chopped onions. * ''Sarde in saor'': fried sardines, dipped in fried onion, raisins and pine nuts, spices and vinegar. It has to marinate at least one night. Venice has some wonderful restaurants, featuring the cuisine of the Veneto. However it is widely regarded that the restaurants in Venice serve food of a quality and in quantities much lower than anywhere else in Italy. The pizza in Venice is well known as being the worst in Italy (It is a more southern Italian speciality). For Americans, you can find a place called Quanto Basta pizza that serves an American-style pizza with pepperoni and french fries. Specialties include polenta, made of corn meal; risotto with cuttlefish ink sauce. Diners should however be aware that for every genuinely wonderful restaurant or trattoria, there's another serving rubbish food at inflated prices, especially in the most touristed streets around San Marco. Rule of thumb: if there's a waiter outside pimping for business, it's probably best avoided. Near the Rialto bridge there's a row of restaurants with tables by the canal, where you can have the quintessential Venice experience of dining by the canal lights. Although they do have waiters outside bugging you, some have pretty acceptable quality for price, which is almost always expensive anyway. One of Venice's trademark foods is cuttlefish and its ink. This intense black ink serves as a sauce and ingredient for polenta (corn meal), risotto (rice), and pasta. These dishes are normally indicated by the Italian words "nella seppia" (in cuttlefish), "alla seppia" (in the style of cuttlefish), or "nero di seppia," (black of the cuttlefish). For example, Polenta Nella Seppia is fried corn meal with the black ink of a cuttle fish. Despite the intensity in color, the ink has a surprisingly mild taste. Be careful when the prices are on a weight basis (typically by the "etto", abbreviated "/hg". or 100 g). One dish can easily contain 400g of fish or meat (almost a pound) - coming to 4 times the indicated base price! Restaurants might offer low prices for food on their menus that they advertise outside the entrance, but they will sometimes compensate this by charging high prices for drinks (which is naturally *not* advertised). €5 for 33 cl of beer is not uncommon. Le Bauta, an eatery on Fond del Gaffaro, is a good example. Also, please make sure that you get your change back after payment as sometimes it may be 'forgotten' by the waiters. For fresh fruit (including chilled coconut) watch out for the street market stalls. There is always a boat parked in the canal on campo San Barnaba selling fruit and vegetables into the late hours. To save money at lunch, eat standing up - that's what Venetians themselves do. Every cafe, trattoria, osteria, enoteca or whatever it chooses to call itself is stocked at lunchtime with cicchetti - Venetian tapas, including tramezzini (triangular sandwiches on white bread), bite-sized rolls with various cold cuts, polpette (fried balls of minced fish or meat) and assorted antipasti. Order by pointing at what you want on the glass shelves, and wash the whole thing down with a glass of wine (un' ombra) or a spritz (made with, in order of bitterness and alcohol content, Aperol, Campari or Select). Bear in mind that as soon as you allow yourself to sit at the table and be waited on, instead of ordering and consuming your food at the counter, the prices for the same items go up - you can end up paying double. If you look at the (government-mandated) chart of prices stapled to the wall near the bar, you'll see 2 columns of numbers, accommodating this arrangement. However, sitting is worth it if you plan on staying a while. Some places will also serve free bread and water for seated patrons, but then there is usually also a small charge (€1-3 per person) for "pane e coperto" (bread and cover charge). If self-catering, the Rialto food markets are an absolute must for fruit, vegetables and cheese, but most of all for the huge range of seafood, much of it fresh out of the lagoon and still moving! There are a variety of small stores around the city that sell fruits and vegetables, but tourists will be hard-pressed to find them. Anything else you will find in the one of the few supermarkets in the city. Head to the Dorsoduro area of Venice if you want to save a few euros. It is located on the south side of the city. It has the highest concentration of places where locals, especially students, go to eat. Generally staying away from the main squares will be the cheapest option. If you're willing and able to walk around the town, some back streets offer the best food for the lowest price. Seeing the city from this vantage point is a lot of fun too! === Budget === * There are a few '''supermarkets''' in the city, so if you are in the need to save some money, these are an option as they serve a wide array of prepared and semi-prepared food. On the main street from the station to the Rialto bridge there is a Coop and a Billa supermarket. * Venetian snacks (cichetti) can be brilliantly inventive, in small "tapas-style" serving sizes. Look for places (especially wine bars) popular with non-tourists, the prices are very reasonable. * There are still many small bakery shops and "biavaroli" where you can buy bread, cheese etc., particularly near the Rialto market area. * If you want to buy water (Venice has excellent free tap water easily accessible at the numerous fountains located outside throughout the city) it is usually cheapest to get it at the supermarkets: there are Billa or Co-op stores located throughout the city, though supermarkets are often "disguised" in nondescript buildings in Venice for space limitations. ====In various locations==== * {{eat | name=Pizzeria Ae Oche | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit= | content=A local establishment with several locations in the city.

You can find it in almost every bar in the city. Price is about €5, more in a touristy place. If you try the famous Veneto '''Grappa''' be careful as it is brandy with 30 to 60 per cent alcohol. The '''Bellini''' was invented in Harry's Bar in Venice. It is a mix of white peach juice and Prosecco (the ubiquitous Venetian Champagne-like sparkling wine). Fermented at a low temperature Prosecco develops amylic aromas (fruit drops), though these perhaps mix better with fruit juices than does the more austere Champagne. Classic Bellinis should never be made with Champagne. Although by normal standards expensive, a Bellini in Harry's Bar (€17 for a 1.5 oz drink is obscene) is still much cheaper than on the terraces of similar '5-star' establishments in the city. '''Beer''' in a small pub is about €5 for a pint (birra media). '''Espresso''', the real Italian, is about €1 at the bar, €2 at a table. === Coffee === [[File:Venice - Cafe - 4125.jpg|thumb|right|A cafe in Piazza di San Marco]] Coffee is everywhere in Venice, and both Venetians and the tourists avail themselves of the opportunities, usually by downing a quick dose at the counter (see warning about sit-down prices above).

Piazza San Marco is not one of them, although it is very pleasant with many people wandering around late. The actual late night scene is in either '''Campo Santa Margherita''', near the University Ca' Foscari in Dorsoduro; or in '''Erbaria''' on the West side of the Rialto Bridge where the main vegetable market is held during the day. Even though there are many fantastic bars in Venice, if you're planning a night time "pub crawl" you should plan a few places to visit in advance, otherwise it's very easy to waste an hour wandering aimlessly in search of a watering hole that's open, especially midweek. Locals in search of nighttime entertainment mostly head over the bridge into Mestre, or hop on the boat to Lido. One exception: F.ta della Misericordia, in Cannaregio (north from the Ghetto over the Ghetto Nuove bridge, turn right), features several bars in succession, anchored by the ''Paradiso Perduto'' (Cannaregio 2640; a restaurant by day, live music on Sundays starting at 21:00), along the canal. In season they are spilling over after dark with youths holding large glasses of rosé, while more of those same youths are cruising (in motor boats) blaring rap songs in Italian from the loudspeakers. The cafes and bars lining the expansive C. Santa Margherita are catering to the students from the nearby university; chill out to reggae sets in ''Caffé Rosso'' (Dorsoduro 2963; it's the one with the red awning that simply says ''Caffe''), or dance (Saturdays only) at ''Round Midnight'' (Dorsoduro 3102). Those looking for LGBT nightlife in Venice will be disappointed. Hop on the train to [[Padua]] instead. * {{drink | name=Bistrot de Venise | alt= | url=http://www.bistrotdevenise.com | email= | address=Calle dei Fabbri, San Marco 4685 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours=22:00 until late night | price= | content=Restaurant, cultural and enogastronomical meetings. }} === Pubs === There are two Irish pubs in Venice.

This 15th-century building that was substantially altered in the early 17th century now houses the Guardia di Finanza.]] Due to the historic city's constrained area and international popularity hotels are expensive. Bed and Breakfasts and guesthouses offer better rates. Real budget solutions (like campings and hostels) can be found in [[Mestre | '''Mestre''']] (mainland Venice) and on the island of '''[[Lido]]'''. Alternative accommodation can be also found on the island of '''[[Murano]]'''. These are worth considering since historic centre is quite well connected with bus and ferries, so staying further from the centre is not such a big problem. In the last few years, holiday or short rentals apartments have increased in number and quality, now you can rent (minimum stay is usually 3 nights) a Palazzo on the Grand Canal as a little flat near Rialto. === Bed and Breakfast === * {{sleep | name=Bed and Breakfast Venice Ca' del Pozzo | alt= | url=http://cadelpozzo.it | email= | address= | lat=45.4329955 | long= 12.3320963 | directions= | phone=+39 041-2413875 | tollfree= | fax=+39 041-2443203 | price= | checkin= | checkout= | lastedit=2022-04-01 | content=Completely restructured in 2003, in the characteristic Campo San Maurizio. }} * {{sleep | name=Bed and Breakfast Ca'Dor | alt= | url=http://bedandbreakfastvenice.net | email= | address= | lat= 45.4406559 | long= 12.3372800 | directions= | phone=+39 392 3906152 | tollfree= | fax= | price=Rooms about 55€ in low-season, 100€ in high season | checkin= | checkout= | lastedit=2022-04-01 | content=Venetian style rooms in the centre, 3 minutes from Rialto's Bridge. }} === Budget === In the city of '''Mestre''' just in front of Venice is the A&O Hostel with shared rooms for about 17–23€ per night (July 2022). * {{sleep | name=Ai Do Mori | alt= | url=http://hotelaidomori.com | email= | address=San Marco 658 | lat=45.4351365 | long=12.3392159 | directions= | phone=+39 041 5204817 | tollfree= | fax=+39 041 5205328 | checkin= | checkout= | price= | lastedit=2022-07-01 | content=As close as it gets to Piazza San Marco, but on the second and third floor, so it still is quiet at nights.

The city has been steadily building out the municipal Wi-Fi network, which now covers almost the entire area around the Grand Canal and some of the larger squares in the center. You can buy guest access at approximately €5 per day at the same unified Venezia Unica site where the transport and museum passes are sold. However if you only need occasional access, it may not be worth buying this as you can get free wifi at most accommodations and at a lot of the museums in Venice. Venice has several internet cafes, but they are much more expensive than the rest of Europe with prices for an hour of access around €6. Wi-Fi is only available at some of them. There's a wonderful pub, Cafe Blue in Dorsoduro, which has free (password-protected) wi-fi. Buy a spritz and a panini and go to town. At the Telecom Italia Future Centre in Campo San Salvatore (San Marco) you can browse for free for one hour, once registered with your ID card. To use an Internet cafe, buy a mobile SIM card or get a contract for an Internet connection. Personal identification is needed by law in Italy. Internet cafes will not let you use computers without a passport or national ID card. Calle Delle Botteghe on San Marco 2970 Venezia is a pretty art gallery type internet cafe with a book shop. It is on the expensive side with €3 for 15 min but you can just go in and play chess with a glass of wine. == Stay safe == Venice is considered a safe city. You have to take the habitual travellers' precautions however. Keep your valuable items (like wallet and passport) close to you because there are pickpockets, especially in more crowded parts of the city. In case of need, you can dial free of charge on any phone '''112''' (no area code needed) to contact Carabinieri or '''113''' (no area code needed) to contact the Police. ==Stay healthy== Venice has begun to install septic tanks in buildings, but much of the city has not yet been upgraded and releases untreated sewage directly into the canals. Avoid bathing yourself, touching the water, immersing feet, etc. in the canals looking for refreshment in hot season. Also, at night there is a risk of falling into the water, as there are many alleys which end in the water but have little or no lighting. In the warmest months, these conditions can sometimes generate foul odors. Choose other times to visit if they might ruin what should be a highly enjoyable stay. Current regulations forbid certain behaviour, including bathing in the canals and walking around in a swimsuit or bare-chested. Violations are subject to fines up to €500. More information available on [https://www.comune.venezia.it/en/content/enjoyrespectvenezia #EnjoyRespectVenezia website]. You can reach the emergency medical service dialing free of charge on any phone '''118''' (no area code needed, conversation will be recorded) to have assistance and an ambulance sent to you. Chemists' shops (Italian: ''Farmacie'') are all around the town. They are open 24 hr a day, 7 days a week on a rotational basis: outside the shop there's always the list of operating ones with time-table, address and phone number. If you need a special drug you might be asked to book it in advance if it's not in common use. Note that the commercial name or brand of your prescription might differ from your country of origin, and make sure that the medication you want is available in the EU. == Respect == The city officials state that it is necessary to enforce rules that preserve the city's urban cleanliness and make sure visitors behave themselves. The following tips will come in handy: * '''Do not bathe, dive into, or swim in the canals'''; it is not only dangerous and unhealthy, but it is punishable by a fine of up to €350 and the police can restrict your movement in the area where the offence was committed. * '''Do not sit down on the ground and eat'''; it is punishable by a fine of up to €200 and the police can restrict your movement in the area where the offence was committed. * '''Do not camp in public areas'''; it is punishable by a fine of up to €200 and the police can restrict your movement in the area where the offence was committed. * '''Do not walk around bare-chested or in swimwear'''; it is punishable by a fine of up to €250. == Cope == === Orientation === The unfortunate side-effect of the small alleys which make Venice such a delight to visit is that it is remarkably easy to get lost. Even maps provided by hotels are frequently inaccurate, and the maze-like structure of the city can become very confusing. The tight cluster of little islands that comprise Venice is completely surrounded by the Lagoon, so it is not possible, no matter how lost you become, to leave Venice on foot. Sooner or later you will come upon a piazza that you can locate on your map. One tip: as you cross bridges, note the house numbers before and after. A small change probably means you are on the same island/district and have crossed a "new" canal. A major change means you are now on another island. Most maps clump islands together into their voting districts, there are many more islands than districts. One piece of assistance is to look for directional signs. These will be marked "Per" and then with the name of a prominent location or bridge in the city, complete with an arrow pointing in the relevant direction. Hence, to get to the Rialto bridge, the signs to follow are marked "Per Rialto". Those to St Mark's Square read "Per S Marco", and those to the train station "Per Ferrovia" (there are some others as well). Having oriented yourself to the nearest landmark, direction-finding can thus become (slightly) easier. Remember, though, that the signs to read are the ''official'' ones. Graffiti will occasionally give other directions, frequently incorrect ones. That said, some argue that getting lost in Venice is part of the experience of the city. The number of photogenic canals, hidden restaurants and shops where glass blowing is done almost guarantees that there is no such thing as a "dull neighbourhood". Additionally, the public transport means that it is relatively easy to arrive at the intended destination even after one has emerged from the web of alleys in a totally unexpected place. === Overcrowding === While Venice may not get more tourists than other famous [[Italy|Italian]] destinations as [[Rome]] and [[Florence]], the narrowness of streets and open areas may at times make Venice feel ''uncomfortably'' crowded during (but not only) the peak seasons, at the San Marco ''sestiere'', the surroundings of the Rialto bridge and the streets leading from Venezia Santa Lucia and Piazzale Roma to San Marco. Walking by itself can be difficult, let alone snapping a good photo, using a public lavatory, or sitting at a decent cafe or restaurant. To avoid the worst of the crowds, unless it is winter, try to visit the San Marco and Rialto bridge areas during early morning and late evening. During the late morning and afternoon, stay away as far as possible from this area, for instance walking around west Santa Croce, north Canarregio, eastern Castello and Giudecca. Alternatively, take day trips to places outside central Venice such as [[Burano]], the [[Lido]], [[Padua]] or [[Vicenza]], or simply take the opportunity to refresh in your hotel. === Useful telephone numbers === * {{listing | name=Police (emergency call) | phone=113 }} * {{listing | name=Carabinieri (emergency call) | phone=112 }} * {{listing | name=First Aid (emergency call) | phone=118 }} * {{listing | name=Venice Hospital | phone=+39 041 5294111 }} * {{listing | name=Medical Service on Duty | phone=+39 041 5294060 }} * {{listing | name=Tourist Information | phone=+39 041 5298700 }} * {{listing | name=Gondola Service San Marco | phone=+39 041 5200685 }} * {{listing | name=Gondola Service Rialto | phone=+39 041 5224904 }} * {{listing | name=Gondola Service Danieli | phone=+39 041 5222254 }} * {{listing | name=Airport San Marco Information | phone=+39 041 2609260 }} * {{listing | name=Airport San Marco Lost and Found Office | phone=+39 041 2609222 }} * {{listing | name=Railway information | phone=892021 (in country only) }} * {{listing | name=Railway Lost and Found Office | phone=+39 041 785531 }} === Consulates === Most of the consulates listed here are only honorary consulates, so can only offer limited consular services.

Venice has decayed since its heyday and suffers from overtourism, but the romantic charm remains. It is also known as the birthplace of composers Tomaso Albinoni and Antonio Vivaldi. Venice and its lagoon are a [[UNESCO World Heritage site]].

The ''comune'' (municipality) of Venice lies at the coast of northern Italy. It is made up of many islands in the Venetian Lagoon and a stretch of ''terraferma'' (mainland). The comune is divided into six boroughs, the most famous of which (known as ''Venezia Insulare'') comprises the historic city of Venice as well as the islands of Giudecca, [[Venice/Murano|Murano]], [[Burano]], [[Torcello]], [[Mazzorbo]] and [[Sant'Erasmo]]. [[Lido]] and [[Mestre]] are other popular areas of the comune. The historic city is divided into six ''sestieri'' (districts): [[Venice/Cannaregio|Cannaregio]], [[Venice/Castello|Castello]], [[Venice/Dorsoduro|Dorsoduro]], [[Venice/San Polo|San Polo]], [[Venice/Santa Croce|Santa Croce]] and finally [[Venice/San Marco|San Marco]], where the main monuments and sights are. Each sestiere uses separate house numbers, however they are ''not'' allocated in a specific pattern. === History === {{See also|Medieval and Renaissance Italy}} The '''Most Serene Republic of Venice''' dates back to 827, when a Byzantine Duke moved its seat to what is now known as the Rialto, and for the following 970 years, it prospered on trade (especially from the [[Silk Road]]) and under the rule of a Roman-style Senate headed by the '''Doge'''. Eventually, the Republic of Venice grew into a powerful city-state, and the cradle of [[Medieval and Renaissance Italy|Italian renaissance]]. In the late 15th century, the [[Ottoman Empire]]'s expansion around the Mediterranean, new routes on the high seas shifted commerce to the Atlantic, demoting Venice's political status. The city remains a centre for the arts. One of the significant events in the history of Venice was the opening of the first public opera house in 1637, which allowed members of the general public (those who could afford to pay for the tickets) to enjoy what was once court entertainment reserved for the aristocracy, thus allowing the genre of opera to flourish. Venice was an important destination of the [[Grand Tour]] from the 17th century. In 1797, the city was conquered by Napoleon, a blow from which it never recovered. The city was soon absorbed into [[Austro-Hungarian Empire|Austria-Hungary]], then ping-ponged back and forth between Austria and a nascent Italy, but Venice is still a monument to the glory days of the Renaissance, and historical culture still throbs powerfully in the old Italians' veins. === Climate === {{Weather box | metric first=y | single line=y | Jan high C = 6.6 | Feb high C = 9.6 | Mar high C = 14.5 | Apr high C = 20.1 | May high C = 23.5 | Jun high C = 25.9 | Jul high C = 27.7 | Aug high C = 27.5 | Sep high C = 24.4 | Oct high C = 20.0 | Nov high C = 12.6 | Dec high C = 7.4 | year high C = 17.2 | Jan mean C = 3.3 | Feb mean C = 4.7 | Mar mean C = 8.3 | Apr mean C = 12.0 | May mean C = 17.1 | Jun mean C = 20.5 | Jul mean C = 23.0 | Aug mean C = 22.6 | Sep mean C = 18.9 | Oct mean C = 13.8 | Nov mean C = 7.8 | Dec mean C = 4.0 | year mean C = 13.0 | Jan low C = −0.1 | Feb low C = 0.8 | Mar low C = 5.1 | Apr low C = 9.8 | May low C = 13.7 | Jun low C = 16.1 | Jul low C = 18.3 | Aug low C = 17.7 | Sep low C = 14.3 | Oct low C = 9.6 | Nov low C = 4.0 | Dec low C = 0.6 | year low C = 8.8 | Jan precipitation mm = 47.0 | Feb precipitation mm = 48.3 | Mar precipitation mm = 48.8 | Apr precipitation mm = 70.0 | May precipitation mm = 66.0 | Jun precipitation mm = 78.0 | Jul precipitation mm = 63.9 | Aug precipitation mm = 64.8 | Sep precipitation mm = 72.0 | Oct precipitation mm = 73.5 | Nov precipitation mm = 65.5 | Dec precipitation mm = 50.6 | year precipitation mm = 748.4 | Jan humidity = 81 | Feb humidity = 77 | Mar humidity = 75 | Apr humidity = 75 | May humidity = 73 | Jun humidity = 74 | Jul humidity = 71 | Aug humidity = 72 | Sep humidity = 75 | Oct humidity = 77 | Nov humidity = 79 | Dec humidity = 81 | year humidity = 75.8 | unit precipitation days = 1.0 mm | Jan precipitation days = 6.0 | Feb precipitation days = 5.2 | Mar precipitation days = 5.7 | Apr precipitation days = 8.3 | May precipitation days = 8.2 | Jun precipitation days = 8.6 | Jul precipitation days = 5.9 | Aug precipitation days = 6.1 | Sep precipitation days = 5.9 | Oct precipitation days = 6.7 | Nov precipitation days = 5.8 | Dec precipitation days = 5.9 | Jan sun = 80.6 | Feb sun = 107.4 | Mar sun = 142.6 | Apr sun = 174.0 | May sun = 229.4 | Jun sun = 243.0 | Jul sun = 288.3 | Aug sun = 257.3 | Sep sun = 198.0 | Oct sun = 151.9 | Nov sun = 87.0 | Dec sun = 77.5 | year sun = 2037.0 | source 1 = [http://clima.meteoam.it/AtlanteClim2/pdf/(105)Venezia%20Tessera.pdf MeteoAM (sun and humidity 1961–1990) Venezia/Tessera] | source 2 = [http://clima.meteoam.it/viewClino.php?type=File&station=105&name_station=Venezia%20Tessera MeteoAM Tabella CLINO] | date = April 2014 }} Venice has a humid-subtropical climate with hot summers and cool winters. For those who don't enjoy the heat, July and August may be the worst time to visit: it's sometimes very hot and often humid, there are mosquitoes and occasional infestations of flies, and there are a ''lot'' of tourists and large crowds. Mid to late spring and early to mid autumn are probably best, a compromise between temperature (expect 10-25°C) and the tourist load. Between November and January, you may manage to feel you have Venice all to yourself, an interesting experience. Beware of the weather during the winter months: it can be quite chilly, windy, and damp. Fog is an additional hazard if you are driving in or out, doubly so in the unlikely chance that you will pilot a boat. But if you've never been to Venice, it's better to go in summer than not to go. You won't regret it. Many cities are far worse in summer. Although Venice has no cars, diesel motors used by boats contribute to less than stellar air quality. '''''Acqua alta''''' (high water) has become a fact of life in Venice. The lagoon water level occasionally rises above the level of the squares and streets, flooding them. This can happen several times a year, at irregular intervals, usually in the colder months. ''Acqua alta'' usually lasts a few hours and coincides with high tide. You'll see raised walkways in side alleys ready to be pulled out when ''acqua alta'' hits. When the city begins to flood, sirens will sound to warn residents and businesses. If you speak fluent Italian, tune into news programs since their predictions of the times the flood begins and ends are usually accurate. Normally, the tide rises and falls in six-hour cycles. You can get an ''acqua alta'' map at the tourist offices either at the railway station or St Mark's Square. This will show you the higher, dry routes and the ones with walkways set up during the various flood alerts. There is a tide measuring station at the Rialto vaporetto piers, and a noticeboard at the base of the Campanile in the Piazza San Marco that shows a live tide reading and predictions for the next few days. == Get in == {{Mapframe|name=Important transfer points|show=go}} Water plays a crucial role in transportation, as Venice is on a lagoon. Whichever way you arrive the last part of your journey will be on foot from the nearest waterbus/watertaxi jetty. Bear this in mind when choosing your hotel location and route to it, especially if you need to carry or wheel bags along the narrow streets.

The Rialtine islands - the 'main' part of Venice - are small enough to walk from one end to the other in about an hour, provided you don't get lost (a common occurrence). If you want to get around a bit more quickly, there are numerous '''vaporetti (water buses)''' and '''water taxis'''. The vaporetti are generally the best way to get around, even if the service route map changes frequently. If you are going to be in Venice for a few days visiting, it is a lot cheaper to use vaporetti than private water taxis. If you want to have a romantic ride along the canals, take a gondola ride, although they tend to exist for more scenic purposes, rather than getting people from point A to point B. Be warned that GPS navigation services such as Google Maps are notoriously unreliable in Venice. The density of stone buildings makes it fairly difficult to receive a proper GPS satellite signal. Additionally, Venice's complex network of pathways and public transit is poorly documented, and even entire transit services such as the Orange vaporetti Route are undocumented on Google Maps. You can mitigate some of these navigation issues using the Live View function in Google Maps, which uses your camera to orient yourself relative to businesses and landmarks around you. === By public transport === '''[http://www.actv.it/en ACTV]''' runs the vaporetti and other public transport services in the lagoon and on land. * '''Line 1''' runs from Piazzale Roma to Lido, passing the Railway Station (Ferrovia), Canal Grande, Rialto, S.Marco and S.Zaccaria and vice versa, leaving Piazzale Roma every 20 minutes from 05:01 to 06:01 and from 22:21 to 23:41, every 10 minutes from 06:21 to 22:01, leaving Lido every 20 minutes from 04:16 to 05:36 and from 21:46 to 23:06, every 10 minutes from 5:56 to 21:26.

The city is not that big, and you can walk from one end to the other in a few hours (if you stick to the paths conveniently marked with arrows in the direction of major landmarks). But it would take months for a fit person to discover every path in the city. Make sure to visit some of the smaller alleyways, as they can be very interesting. Along the way you will discover marvelous art, superb architecture and breathtaking urban landscaping. Exploring the city randomly by walking is well worth it but also be prepared to get lost easily! Signs all over the city indicate the direction to the main attractions, "Rialto" and "San Marco", as well as the way back to the train station ("ferrovia") and the bus terminal ("Piazzale Roma"). These signs make it easy to have the "get lost experience" even as a one-day tourist. For a faster and safer walk, you should walk on the right side. Be aware that addresses in Venice are of the form "District Number" (the Venetian word for district is "Sestiere"), not "Street Number". To find a specific place using a map, make sure you know which district it is in.

Two events organised by Biennale are the Art and Architecture International Exhibitions happening alternately (Architecture Biennale in even years, Art Biennale in odd) but other fields are also covered - contemporary theatre, dance, music, cinema ('''[http://www.labiennale.org/en/cinema Venice International Film Festival]'''). Exhibitions take place mostly in two locations: {{marker|type=do|name=Arsenale|url=https://www.labiennale.org/en/venues/arsenale|lat=45.43347|long=12.35058}} and {{marker|type=do|name=Giardini|url=https://www.labiennale.org/en/venues/giardini-della-biennale|lat=45.42885|long=12.35797}}. They are both worth visiting even when no event is scheduled. Arsenale is the largest pre-industrial production centre in the world, dating back to 13th century, and Giardini is architectural gem filled with national pavilions from different parts of the world, often designed by famous architects, it was a venue for the International Art Exhibition since the 19th century. ** {{event | name=Art Biennale | url=http://www.labiennale.org/en/art | alt=Esposizione internazionale d’arte | year=2022| month= April| date= 23 | endyear= | endmonth= November| enddate=27 | phone=+39 041 5218711 | email=aav@labiennale.org | location= | country= | content=It is held at Arsenale (vaporetto line 4.1 and 4.2 to Arsenale) and Giardini (vaporetto line 4.1 and 4.2 to Giardini).

The Biennale is open every second year from April to November, Tu-Su 10:00-18:00. Admission for 219 was €30 for two days, multiple entries (ID required); €25 one day, single entry to each venue; €20 over 65, €14 students. There are many other exhibitions (collateral events) all over the city, often permitting to visit buildings which normally are not open to the public. Online guides to the exhibits are not substantive. The British Council provides a comprehensive guide to all exhibits available at the British pavilion at the Giardini.

Vogalonga competitors must row 32 km under 3½ hours to receive a certificate of attendance at the finish line, but everybody with a human-powered vessel is welcome to participate (some foreigner teams take up to 10 hours to complete the journey just for the fun of it). The official purpose of the Vogalonga was to protest the sharply increasing use of powerboats in Venice, but the event has gradually grown into a festival since 1974, with up to 5500 racers in 1500 vessels attending by the early 2000s. The racetrack visits different parts of Venice as well as some of the nearby islands. Locals and tourists lining up alongside rios and canals cheer the racers. Visitors wishing to participate should have serious experience in rowing or sculling and practise duely, as the journey is physically demanding (even seasoned oarsmen develop calluses by the finish line). The event is mainly for teams, completing Voga Longa on a single oar is considered a major achievement. Extreme participation (scuba frogmen and surface swimmers) sometimes occurs, but it is not recommended due to water contamination issues.

The vaporetti are expensive, but the sights are priceless: amazing architecture, soft seaside sunlight, and a fascinating parade of Venetian watercraft. * Take a '''gondola''' if you can afford it: it's expensive, but the ''Gondoliere'' may decrease the price if you ask (but they can also decrease the time...). Make sure you reach an agreement on price and time before you start! A good tip with the Gondolieres is to bargain the price down as low as you can, then say that it's still too much and walk away. Two or three of them will chase after you, one after the other, each offering a lower price than the last. It's possible to knock €20-€30 off the price (even then, be prepared to shell out €80). : Some guidebooks discourage tourists from asking for gondola price reductions. The oarsmen have an informal habit of cutting the most interesting and little-known parts from the journey path for "discount" customers. Reduced rate riders get much less marvel in exchange for a moderate price drop, which may not be worth it. : Gondolier-for-hire business licenses are officially limited to just 430 to 455 rowers in Venice, making the market artificially scarce and inflating prices. Gondola rides are always costly, often in a princely way and that expense should be planned in advance of the visit. If you go as a group it might be cheaper, though the number of people who can be accommodated on a gondola varies, usually up to a maximum of six seated passengers. The "traghetti" holds more, mostly standing, as a pair of gondoliers rows short distances for canal crossing purposes at a number of points along the Grand Canal. : Venetians and especially the gondoliers among them have highly conservative ideas about society: by 900 years of tradition, all gondoliers must be male and most are born locals. In 2015, the highest court in Rome recognized Alex Hai as the "first female gondolier to operate in Venice", after repeated attempts to become officially licensed since 1996. Unable to obtain an official license, Hai began operating as a privage gondolier, also known as ''gondoliers de casada'', and came out as a transgender man in 2017. In August 2010, Giorgia Boscolo became Venice's first fully licensed female gondolier. * If a gondola seems a little pricey, the alternative is to cross the Grand Canal by '''traghetto'''. These only cost €2 to use and are largely gondolas that have seen better days, They are stripped down and used as municipal ferries. In the 1950s there were as many as thirty, but now there are seven points to find them. However some only operate when people are going to and from work. The length of any crossing is just a few minutes. Many visitors enjoy visiting the open air markets near the Rialto Bridge and there is a traghetto station there, at the '''Pescheria''' (fish market) joining the Santa Sophia church along the Strada Nova. You will notice that traghetti passengers tend to '''stand up''', but if you are not comfortable doing so, sitting is possible, if you are careful. * The more adventurous can try the venetian style of rowing through Row Venice or one of the many rowing clubs. === Other === [[File:Venice - Mask gift shop - 3566.jpg|thumb|right|A Mask gift shop near Piazza San Marco]] If you are looking for something to do, you can always '''shop'''. Venice is packed full of little stores in every corner and crevice. The commonest local specialties are Carnival masks, glass, and marbled paper. Price can vary wildly, so it's a good idea to hold off buying until you have a fair idea about the relative value of things. As is the case with most tourist cities, a lot of the "original" and "made in Venice" items are actually made in China. [[Murano]] is an island famous for its glass making. Almost in every shop you will find "original [[Murano]] glass" items. If it was really made in [[Murano]], it would be prohibitively expensive, with prices routinely running into thousands of euros. So if you are looking for cheap souvenirs, real [[Murano]] glass is not the thing to buy! You can also see glass making demonstrations in [[Murano]], but be sure to check that there is a demonstration scheduled for that day. And it is normally not done in winter either. [[File:Cimitero, Venice.jpg|thumb|right|San Michele Cemetery Island, Cimitero stop]] Spend a '''day on the islands''', mainly [[Murano]], [[Burano]] and Torcello. There are boat services to all these islands at scheduled times, including between the islands themselves. Be prepared for long lines and long waits for the boats between islands. The Glass Museum in [[Murano]] and the Lace Museum in [[Burano]] are certainly worth a visit. In [[Burano]] you will find some of the most picturesque streets and houses, with each house sporting a different pastel shade. Its really beautiful. Though there is not much to see in Torcello except for the old church, and the supposed "Throne of Atilla". However, the peace and tranquility of the island is not to be found anywhere else in Venice! Torcello is also home to a very expensive Cipriani restaurant. But just walking around on these islands is a nice enough experience. If you've had enough of the hype and the other tourists, hop off the vaporetto at 'Cimitero', Venice's graveyard for a peaceful walk. There are many famous tombs, and the section dedicated to deceased children is particularly haunting. There is also a free toilet there. While going through Venice, make sure you take in the beauty of it all. '''Walk''' through the alley ways, and take the water taxi to different parts of the island, sometimes at night you can just go sit in an open area and watch locals and tourists passing by. It is wonderful. There are many museums and churches that are around the city that allow tourists to go in a visit. They are many great sights to keep you busy throughout your visit.

It's better to book in advance. Because Venice is now pretty much only inhabited by tourists and people serving the trade, it gets very quiet by 21:00 and there is very little to do in the evening (outside of eating). There are a few exceptions, like some classical music '''concerts,''' which most probably only play Vivaldi. If you would like to have a '''guide''' to show up the highlights of Venice, you can choose between many offers. There are walking or boat tours, focused on shopping or history or for art lovers, and many itineraries. '''Take photos''', using your camera or phone on every corner of Venice will inspire you. And if you have taken good pictures, though you may not be a professional photographer, consider entering the photo competition [http://onedayinvenezia.com "OneDayInVenezia"] running all year round, awarding monthly winners, and dedicated to amateur photographers. The Grand Prize is a week-end in Venice, trip included. Send a '''Postcard''' or even better, an entire '''letter''' dedicated to a loved one (the old "snail mail" one, not the electronic variety)! Venice has a long, celebrated tradition in postal services, paper and written communication in general (including one of the earliest medieval book printing houses). Venice it's also '''Riviera del Brenta''' old canals. The Riviera del Brenta is famous for its extraordinary Palladian villas along the Brenta river, its museums and historical buildings and it is 40 km (25 miles) from Venice. This Riviera and its mainland include 7 small cities: Stra, Fiesso d’Artico, Dolo, Fossò, Mira, Oriago and Malcontenta. These places are good for '''cycling excursions''' and to see antique Palladian Villas built on the Brenta river. In Stra village, there is the '''famous gardens of Villa Pisani''' and the '''museum of the shoes''' is in Villa Foscarini Rossi. In this last museum you can admire 1,500 models of Italian-made shoes created in local factories for major brands including Fendi, Genny, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Ungaro, Anne Kleyn, Richard Tyles and Vera Wang. In Dolo village you can visit the square, old watermill (XI century) and big open air market. * {{do | name=Teatro San Gallo | alt= | url=http://www.teatrosangallo.net | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 041 2412002 | tollfree= | fax= | hours=Nov-Apr: 19:00, May-Oct: 20:00 | price=€39, seniors €35, students €25, children €15 | lastedit=2015-04-10 | content=Half-hour documentary based on the BBC series ''Francesco's Venice'' - an 'amazing film that puts the spectacular beauty of this great city in historical context'.

Consequently, most of the Venetians working in Venice still own or work at a shop. If the pride of the Republic of Venice was the extreme diversity and quality of goods and services which could be found in Venice, these days, however, mass tourism led Venice to be populated with many shops selling low-quality souvenirs. The local shops are suffering a lot from this situation and it is not easy to identify them within the crowd of shops selling harmful imported goods. Buying from the '''authentic local businesses''' has never been more important as it is essential to the future of the Venetians and guarantees you to get the real thing and to have a much better experience of Venice. It is not easy, though. Thankfully, there is a social enterprise based in Venice, which works closely with the Venetian business owners (shops, restaurants and bars included). They have a certification process where the local artisan shops attest and commit to be selling products both authentic and sustainable as well as to give a 10% discount to the customers carrying a '''[http://veneziaautentica.com/become-friend Venezia Autentica Friends' Pass]''' (buyable online for only {{EUR|10}}). Euronet runs the majority of ATMs within tourist areas, and carry both hefty ATM fees and extortionate exchange rates. To avoid the extortionate exchange rates, you should reject the first currency conversion offered to you, which will allow you to default to your bank's rate. When possible, you should use ATMs provided by actual banks and financial institutions. The Credit Agricole ATM machines are notable because they do not charge ATM fees or offer excessive currency conversion rates for most Visa Debit and Prepaid cards. *{{buy | name=Atelier Marega | url=http://marega.it | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=A hand-made mask and costume shop. }} *{{buy | name=Fanny | alt=gloves & accessories | url=http://www.fannygloves.it | email=fannygloves@hotmail.it | address=Calle dei Saoneri, San Polo 2723 | lat= | long= | directions=100m west of Cà Foscari, near Campo San Polo | phone=+39 041 5228266 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=Hundreds of leather gloves in all colours. }} *{{buy | name=Francis Model | alt=leather articles | url= | email=ruggero.dezorzi@libero.it | address=Ruga Rialto, San Polo 773/A | lat= | long= | directions=100m SW of Rialto bridge | phone=+39 041 5212889 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=Locally made leather bags.

Just like in every major Italian city, you get the big fashion brand names. For label clothing shopping, the best area is that around the Piazza San Marco, where you can find Versace, MaxMara, Gucci, Armani, Louis Vuitton, Prada (and numerous more) big names. If you want to shop for clothing or accessories, though, you don't necessarily have to shop through the biggest names in fashion - in the Campo Santo Stefano and Calle della Mandola, you can get less famous or local boutiques, but you can find some excellent quality and/or unique items such as clothes, shoes, wallets or handbags. Watch out also for the hand-made paper and the exquisite miniature buildings made by Moro. Watch out for fakes; Moro "signs" his name on the back. Also, beware of fakes and "free" trips to neighboring [[Murano]] for its famous glass. (See article for details.) Tourist Traps: "Coloured Pasta" and "Venetian Limoncello" (not the original napolitan one) are not Italian food, no Italian would ever eat them, they are particularly made for tourists. For typical regional Italian food in food shops check the labels to discover where they have been made. Don't miss the '''Rialto''' market on San Polo, the smallest sestiere. The Rialto market is for shoppers. To the east is an area of small shops and restaurants; to the west is the Rialto farmers' market. Shopping is slightly less expensive than in the tourist-filled Piazza San Marco. === Murano Glass === * {{buy | name=L’Isola | alt= | url=https://www.lisola.com/ | email=info@lisola.com | address=Calle de le Botteghe, San Marco 2970 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 041 523 1973 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{buy | name=Archimede Seguso | alt= | url=http://aseguso.com/en# | email= | address=San Marco 143 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 041 5289041 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{buy | name=Venini | alt= | url=http://venini.com/en/ | email=venezia@venini.it | address=Piazzetta Leoncini, San Marco 314 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+39 041 5224045 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content= }} == Eat == {{movetodistrict}} [[File:Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti WB.jpg|thumb|Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti]] Typical Venetian dishes are: * ''Fegato alla veneziana'', chopped liver, cooked with chopped onions. * ''Sarde in saor'': fried sardines, dipped in fried onion, raisins and pine nuts, spices and vinegar. It has to marinate at least one night. Venice has some wonderful restaurants, featuring the cuisine of the Veneto. However it is widely regarded that the restaurants in Venice serve food of a quality and in quantities much lower than anywhere else in Italy. The pizza in Venice is well known as being the worst in Italy (It is a more southern Italian speciality). For Americans, you can find a place called Quanto Basta pizza that serves an American-style pizza with pepperoni and french fries. Specialties include polenta, made of corn meal; risotto with cuttlefish ink sauce. Diners should however be aware that for every genuinely wonderful restaurant or trattoria, there's another serving rubbish food at inflated prices, especially in the most touristed streets around San Marco. Rule of thumb: if there's a waiter outside pimping for business, it's probably best avoided. Near the Rialto bridge there's a row of restaurants with tables by the canal, where you can have the quintessential Venice experience of dining by the canal lights. Although they do have waiters outside bugging you, some have pretty acceptable quality for price, which is almost always expensive anyway. One of Venice's trademark foods is cuttlefish and its ink. This intense black ink serves as a sauce and ingredient for polenta (corn meal), risotto (rice), and pasta. These dishes are normally indicated by the Italian words "nella seppia" (in cuttlefish), "alla seppia" (in the style of cuttlefish), or "nero di seppia," (black of the cuttlefish). For example, Polenta Nella Seppia is fried corn meal with the black ink of a cuttle fish. Despite the intensity in color, the ink has a surprisingly mild taste. Be careful when the prices are on a weight basis (typically by the "etto", abbreviated "/hg". or 100 g). One dish can easily contain 400g of fish or meat (almost a pound) - coming to 4 times the indicated base price! Restaurants might offer low prices for food on their menus that they advertise outside the entrance, but they will sometimes compensate this by charging high prices for drinks (which is naturally *not* advertised). €5 for 33 cl of beer is not uncommon. Le Bauta, an eatery on Fond del Gaffaro, is a good example. Also, please make sure that you get your change back after payment as sometimes it may be 'forgotten' by the waiters. For fresh fruit (including chilled coconut) watch out for the street market stalls. There is always a boat parked in the canal on campo San Barnaba selling fruit and vegetables into the late hours. To save money at lunch, eat standing up - that's what Venetians themselves do. Every cafe, trattoria, osteria, enoteca or whatever it chooses to call itself is stocked at lunchtime with cicchetti - Venetian tapas, including tramezzini (triangular sandwiches on white bread), bite-sized rolls with various cold cuts, polpette (fried balls of minced fish or meat) and assorted antipasti. Order by pointing at what you want on the glass shelves, and wash the whole thing down with a glass of wine (un' ombra) or a spritz (made with, in order of bitterness and alcohol content, Aperol, Campari or Select). Bear in mind that as soon as you allow yourself to sit at the table and be waited on, instead of ordering and consuming your food at the counter, the prices for the same items go up - you can end up paying double. If you look at the (government-mandated) chart of prices stapled to the wall near the bar, you'll see 2 columns of numbers, accommodating this arrangement. However, sitting is worth it if you plan on staying a while. Some places will also serve free bread and water for seated patrons, but then there is usually also a small charge (€1-3 per person) for "pane e coperto" (bread and cover charge). If self-catering, the Rialto food markets are an absolute must for fruit, vegetables and cheese, but most of all for the huge range of seafood, much of it fresh out of the lagoon and still moving! There are a variety of small stores around the city that sell fruits and vegetables, but tourists will be hard-pressed to find them. Anything else you will find in the one of the few supermarkets in the city. Head to the Dorsoduro area of Venice if you want to save a few euros. It is located on the south side of the city. It has the highest concentration of places where locals, especially students, go to eat. Generally staying away from the main squares will be the cheapest option. If you're willing and able to walk around the town, some back streets offer the best food for the lowest price. Seeing the city from this vantage point is a lot of fun too! === Budget === * There are a few '''supermarkets''' in the city, so if you are in the need to save some money, these are an option as they serve a wide array of prepared and semi-prepared food. On the main street from the station to the Rialto bridge there is a Coop and a Billa supermarket. * Venetian snacks (cichetti) can be brilliantly inventive, in small "tapas-style" serving sizes. Look for places (especially wine bars) popular with non-tourists, the prices are very reasonable. * There are still many small bakery shops and "biavaroli" where you can buy bread, cheese etc., particularly near the Rialto market area. * If you want to buy water (Venice has excellent free tap water easily accessible at the numerous fountains located outside throughout the city) it is usually cheapest to get it at the supermarkets: there are Billa or Co-op stores located throughout the city, though supermarkets are often "disguised" in nondescript buildings in Venice for space limitations. ====In various locations==== * {{eat | name=Pizzeria Ae Oche | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit= | content=A local establishment with several locations in the city.

You can find it in almost every bar in the city. Price is about €5, more in a touristy place. If you try the famous Veneto '''Grappa''' be careful as it is brandy with 30 to 60 per cent alcohol. The '''Bellini''' was invented in Harry's Bar in Venice. It is a mix of white peach juice and Prosecco (the ubiquitous Venetian Champagne-like sparkling wine). Fermented at a low temperature Prosecco develops amylic aromas (fruit drops), though these perhaps mix better with fruit juices than does the more austere Champagne. Classic Bellinis should never be made with Champagne. Although by normal standards expensive, a Bellini in Harry's Bar (€17 for a 1.5 oz drink is obscene) is still much cheaper than on the terraces of similar '5-star' establishments in the city. '''Beer''' in a small pub is about €5 for a pint (birra media). '''Espresso''', the real Italian, is about €1 at the bar, €2 at a table. === Coffee === [[File:Venice - Cafe - 4125.jpg|thumb|right|A cafe in Piazza di San Marco]] Coffee is everywhere in Venice, and both Venetians and the tourists avail themselves of the opportunities, usually by downing a quick dose at the counter (see warning about sit-down prices above).

Piazza San Marco is not one of them, although it is very pleasant with many people wandering around late. The actual late night scene is in either '''Campo Santa Margherita''', near the University Ca' Foscari in Dorsoduro; or in '''Erbaria''' on the West side of the Rialto Bridge where the main vegetable market is held during the day. Even though there are many fantastic bars in Venice, if you're planning a night time "pub crawl" you should plan a few places to visit in advance, otherwise it's very easy to waste an hour wandering aimlessly in search of a watering hole that's open, especially midweek. Locals in search of nighttime entertainment mostly head over the bridge into Mestre, or hop on the boat to Lido. One exception: F.ta della Misericordia, in Cannaregio (north from the Ghetto over the Ghetto Nuove bridge, turn right), features several bars in succession, anchored by the ''Paradiso Perduto'' (Cannaregio 2640; a restaurant by day, live music on Sundays starting at 21:00), along the canal. In season they are spilling over after dark with youths holding large glasses of rosé, while more of those same youths are cruising (in motor boats) blaring rap songs in Italian from the loudspeakers. The cafes and bars lining the expansive C. Santa Margherita are catering to the students from the nearby university; chill out to reggae sets in ''Caffé Rosso'' (Dorsoduro 2963; it's the one with the red awning that simply says ''Caffe''), or dance (Saturdays only) at ''Round Midnight'' (Dorsoduro 3102). Those looking for LGBT nightlife in Venice will be disappointed.

This 15th-century building that was substantially altered in the early 17th century now houses the Guardia di Finanza.]] Due to the historic city's constrained area and international popularity hotels are expensive. Bed and Breakfasts and guesthouses offer better rates. Real budget solutions (like campings and hostels) can be found in [[Mestre | '''Mestre''']] (mainland Venice) and on the island of '''[[Lido]]'''. Alternative accommodation can be also found on the island of '''[[Murano]]'''. These are worth considering since historic centre is quite well connected with bus and ferries, so staying further from the centre is not such a big problem.

The city has been steadily building out the municipal Wi-Fi network, which now covers almost the entire area around the Grand Canal and some of the larger squares in the center. You can buy guest access at approximately €5 per day at the same unified Venezia Unica site where the transport and museum passes are sold. However if you only need occasional access, it may not be worth buying this as you can get free wifi at most accommodations and at a lot of the museums in Venice. Venice has several internet cafes, but they are much more expensive than the rest of Europe with prices for an hour of access around €6. Wi-Fi is only available at some of them. There's a wonderful pub, Cafe Blue in Dorsoduro, which has free (password-protected) wi-fi. Buy a spritz and a panini and go to town. At the Telecom Italia Future Centre in Campo San Salvatore (San Marco) you can browse for free for one hour, once registered with your ID card. To use an Internet cafe, buy a mobile SIM card or get a contract for an Internet connection. Personal identification is needed by law in Italy. Internet cafes will not let you use computers without a passport or national ID card. Calle Delle Botteghe on San Marco 2970 Venezia is a pretty art gallery type internet cafe with a book shop. It is on the expensive side with €3 for 15 min but you can just go in and play chess with a glass of wine. == Stay safe == Venice is considered a safe city. You have to take the habitual travellers' precautions however. Keep your valuable items (like wallet and passport) close to you because there are pickpockets, especially in more crowded parts of the city. In case of need, you can dial free of charge on any phone '''112''' (no area code needed) to contact Carabinieri or '''113''' (no area code needed) to contact the Police. ==Stay healthy== Venice has begun to install septic tanks in buildings, but much of the city has not yet been upgraded and releases untreated sewage directly into the canals. Avoid bathing yourself, touching the water, immersing feet, etc. in the canals looking for refreshment in hot season. Also, at night there is a risk of falling into the water, as there are many alleys which end in the water but have little or no lighting. In the warmest months, these conditions can sometimes generate foul odors. Choose other times to visit if they might ruin what should be a highly enjoyable stay. Current regulations forbid certain behaviour, including bathing in the canals and walking around in a swimsuit or bare-chested. Violations are subject to fines up to €500. More information available on [https://www.comune.venezia.it/en/content/enjoyrespectvenezia #EnjoyRespectVenezia website]. You can reach the emergency medical service dialing free of charge on any phone '''118''' (no area code needed, conversation will be recorded) to have assistance and an ambulance sent to you. Chemists' shops (Italian: ''Farmacie'') are all around the town. They are open 24 hr a day, 7 days a week on a rotational basis: outside the shop there's always the list of operating ones with time-table, address and phone number. If you need a special drug you might be asked to book it in advance if it's not in common use. Note that the commercial name or brand of your prescription might differ from your country of origin, and make sure that the medication you want is available in the EU. == Respect == The city officials state that it is necessary to enforce rules that preserve the city's urban cleanliness and make sure visitors behave themselves. The following tips will come in handy: * '''Do not bathe, dive into, or swim in the canals'''; it is not only dangerous and unhealthy, but it is punishable by a fine of up to €350 and the police can restrict your movement in the area where the offence was committed. * '''Do not sit down on the ground and eat'''; it is punishable by a fine of up to €200 and the police can restrict your movement in the area where the offence was committed. * '''Do not camp in public areas'''; it is punishable by a fine of up to €200 and the police can restrict your movement in the area where the offence was committed. * '''Do not walk around bare-chested or in swimwear'''; it is punishable by a fine of up to €250. == Cope == === Orientation === The unfortunate side-effect of the small alleys which make Venice such a delight to visit is that it is remarkably easy to get lost. Even maps provided by hotels are frequently inaccurate, and the maze-like structure of the city can become very confusing. The tight cluster of little islands that comprise Venice is completely surrounded by the Lagoon, so it is not possible, no matter how lost you become, to leave Venice on foot. Sooner or later you will come upon a piazza that you can locate on your map. One tip: as you cross bridges, note the house numbers before and after. A small change probably means you are on the same island/district and have crossed a "new" canal. A major change means you are now on another island. Most maps clump islands together into their voting districts, there are many more islands than districts. One piece of assistance is to look for directional signs. These will be marked "Per" and then with the name of a prominent location or bridge in the city, complete with an arrow pointing in the relevant direction. Hence, to get to the Rialto bridge, the signs to follow are marked "Per Rialto". Those to St Mark's Square read "Per S Marco", and those to the train station "Per Ferrovia" (there are some others as well). Having oriented yourself to the nearest landmark, direction-finding can thus become (slightly) easier. Remember, though, that the signs to read are the ''official'' ones. Graffiti will occasionally give other directions, frequently incorrect ones. That said, some argue that getting lost in Venice is part of the experience of the city. The number of photogenic canals, hidden restaurants and shops where glass blowing is done almost guarantees that there is no such thing as a "dull neighbourhood". Additionally, the public transport means that it is relatively easy to arrive at the intended destination even after one has emerged from the web of alleys in a totally unexpected place. === Overcrowding === While Venice may not get more tourists than other famous [[Italy|Italian]] destinations as [[Rome]] and [[Florence]], the narrowness of streets and open areas may at times make Venice feel ''uncomfortably'' crowded during (but not only) the peak seasons, at the San Marco ''sestiere'', the surroundings of the Rialto bridge and the streets leading from Venezia Santa Lucia and Piazzale Roma to San Marco. Walking by itself can be difficult, let alone snapping a good photo, using a public lavatory, or sitting at a decent cafe or restaurant. To avoid the worst of the crowds, unless it is winter, try to visit the San Marco and Rialto bridge areas during early morning and late evening. During the late morning and afternoon, stay away as far as possible from this area, for instance walking around west Santa Croce, north Canarregio, eastern Castello and Giudecca. Alternatively, take day trips to places outside central Venice such as [[Burano]], the [[Lido]], [[Padua]] or [[Vicenza]], or simply take the opportunity to refresh in your hotel. === Useful telephone numbers === * {{listing | name=Police (emergency call) | phone=113 }} * {{listing | name=Carabinieri (emergency call) | phone=112 }} * {{listing | name=First Aid (emergency call) | phone=118 }} * {{listing | name=Venice Hospital | phone=+39 041 5294111 }} * {{listing | name=Medical Service on Duty | phone=+39 041 5294060 }} * {{listing | name=Tourist Information | phone=+39 041 5298700 }} * {{listing | name=Gondola Service San Marco | phone=+39 041 5200685 }} * {{listing | name=Gondola Service Rialto | phone=+39 041 5224904 }} * {{listing | name=Gondola Service Danieli | phone=+39 041 5222254 }} * {{listing | name=Airport San Marco Information | phone=+39 041 2609260 }} * {{listing | name=Airport San Marco Lost and Found Office | phone=+39 041 2609222 }} * {{listing | name=Railway information | phone=892021 (in country only) }} * {{listing | name=Railway Lost and Found Office | phone=+39 041 785531 }} === Consulates === Most of the consulates listed here are only honorary consulates, so can only offer limited consular services.

Exit at M1J5 (A4008) or Hunton Bridge roundabout (A411). ====M1==== Watford Herts is NOT near the Watford Gap: that is named after Watford Northants. Watford Herts is served by Junction (1|5) Watford, the 1st universal-access junction (unless you count Junction (1|3) Scratchwood, which requires prior arrangement). Leave at (1|5) Watford & take the A4008. ====M25==== Take Junction (25|19) Hunton Bridge or (25|21A) Bricket Wood East. ===By rail=== * {{go | name=Watford Junction station | alt= | url=http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations_destinations/WFJ.aspx | email= | address= | lat=51.6635 | long=-0.3958 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q10698 | lastedit=2019-05-28 | content=Watford Junction is a large station that offers many connections. }} ** '''[https://www.avantiwestcoast.co.uk/ Avanti West Coast]''' run express services on the West Coast Mainline & branches, some of them stopping at Watford Junction. The service has a buffet, Wi-Fi & at-seat electricity sockets. They are more expensive than regular trains & do not sell tickets solely between London & Watford Junction, but are useful if travelling from further north. ** '''London Midland''': This regional rail provider serves Watford Junction with most trains. Most of these go non-stop into [[London Euston]], but the line has dedicated platforms at Bushey, Harrow & Wealdstone, Wembley Central & Queens Park. A non-stop train will generally take 12 minutes. They accept general tickets & Oyster cards. ** [https://tfl.gov.uk/overground/stop/HUBWFJ/watford-junction '''London Overground''']: The Watford DC line of the London Overground runs local services to Watford every 10 minutes. It serves Watford Junction & Watford High St. These trains take a long time, but serve [[Willesden Junction]], which is useful as an interchange to [[Clapham Junction]], [[London/Richmond-Kew|Richmond]] and [[London/Stratford|Stratford]], as well as the London Underground Bakerloo line. Watford High St. is closer to the town centre than Watford Junction & cheaper, as the boundary of zones 8 & 9A runs between the two stations. * {{go | name=Watford tube station | alt= | url=https://tfl.gov.uk/tube/stop/940GZZLUWAF/watford-underground-station?lineId=metropolitan | email= | address= | lat=51.6575 | long=-0.4175 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q19819 | content=The London Underground's Metropolitan line runs from Watford station, actually located 0.8 miles away from the High St. in Cassiobury Park.

The Grand Junction Canal also passes to the West of Watford, bordering Cassiobury Park. ==Get around== {{Mapframe|51.6553|-0.3959|zoom=14}} Most attractions in Watford are within walking distance of each other and do not require buses or trains. It is worth noting all Hertfordshire buses offer an 'Explorer' ticket which permits a maximum of 2 adults, 2 adults and 2 children or 1 adult with 3 children to unlimited travel for £7. It is often worth doing as it can save money even if you are on your own. ==See== [[Image:Harry Potter Leavesden entrance.jpg|thumb|250px|Warner Bros.

The region was a part of the Vanga Kingdom, the kingdom of [[Magadha]]. Bengal had ancient trade relations with Burma ([[Myanmar]]), [[Thailand]] and [[Sumatra]]. She was invaded by Rajendra Chola I of the Chola Dynasty between 1021 and 1023. During the 12th century, Sufi missionaries arrived in Bengal, bringing along with them the message of Islam. Bakhtiar Khilji, a military commander from the [[Delhi]] Sultanate, overran Bengal between 1202 and 1206. Bengal was conquered by the Mughals in 1576. There were several independent Hindu states established in Bengal during the Mughal period like those of Maharaja Pratap Aditya of [[Jashore]] and Raja Sitaram Ray of [[Bardhaman]]. The Koch Bihar Kingdom in northern Bengal flourished during the 16th and 17th centuries. European traders arrived late in the 15th century. The Battle of Plassey in 1757 saw the defeat of Siraj ud-Daulah, the last independent Nawab of Bengal. Bengal Presidency was established by 1765, eventually including all British territories north of the Central Provinces (now [[Madhya Pradesh]] and [[Chhattisgarh]]), from the mouths of the Ganges and the Brahmaputra to the Himalayas and the [[Punjab]] region. Calcutta was named the capital of British India in 1772. The Bengal Renaissance and Brahmo Samaj movement had a great impact on the cultural and economic life of Bengal. There was a failed uprising against British rule in 1857 that resulted in the disbandment of the British East India Company. Between 1905 and 1911, attempts were made to divide the province of Bengal into two zones, to curb nationalism, but widespread protest forced the British to call it off. Bengal played a major role in the Indian independence movement, producing some of India's greatest revolutionaries including Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. When India gained independence in 1947, Bengal was partitioned along religious lines. The western part remained in India as West Bengal while the eastern part joined [[Pakistan]] as East Bengal (later renamed East Pakistan, giving rise to independent [[Bangladesh]] in 1971). In 1950, the princely state of [[Cooch Behar]] merged with West Bengal. In 1955, the former French enclave of [[Chandannagar]] was integrated into West Bengal. The 1970s saw the rise of Left-Radicals in the name of Maoism, with a significant portion of the youth refusing to recognise the independence of 1947. Incidents surrounding the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971 caused millions of refugees to influx into West Bengal, most of them Hindus. The Left Front, led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist), governed the state for the subsequent three decades, making it the longest-serving democratically elected communist party in the world. Although they were defeated in the 2011 and later legislative elections, the Communists' imprint remains powerful on the state, with many streets named after Marx and other local and foreign revolutionary figures. ===Geography=== West Bengal is diverse in terms of geography and is distinctively unique for being the only state in India with mountains in the north and sea in the south, with vast stretches of plains, plateaus and deltas between them. The Eastern Himalayas range starts abruptly up from the Terai region near [[Siliguri]]. The region is further divided into two parts: the Singalila and Darjeeling ranges. The Singalila range is located along the border of [[Darjeeling]] and [[Nepal]]. [[Sandakphu]] at {{m|3,636}} is the highest point of West Bengal. Remnants of the Sivaliks can be seen in the [[Dooars]] region, where they are known as the Buxa-Jayanti Hills. The Terai is a belt of marshy grasslands, savannas and forests at the base of the Himalayas range. The Dooars region stretching across the middle of the Terai belt are a conglomerate of tall grasslands, savannas and evergreen and deciduous forests. South of the Terai region the plain of North Bengal starts and continues up to the left bank of the Ganges. It gets fed by rivers and rivulets originating in the Eastern Himalayas. The Rarh region lies south of the Ganges and east of the Chotanagpur plateau, the eastern part of which is in West Bengal. Part of the Sunderbans is located in the vast deltaic region, South-East of the state. ===Climate=== West Bengal experiences 5 seasons: spring, summer, monsoon, autumn and winter. Spring is short and more dominant in the northern region. Summer commences from the first week of March and continues till June. The weather remains hot and humid during the day, accompanied by cool breezes at night. The western highlands will experience a hot dry climate. Thunderstorms locally called ''Kalbaishakhi'' occurs in late summer. Monsoon starts in July and ends in late September when torrential rainfall gives rise to severe floods in the south. Autumn is short, between October and mid-November. The retreating monsoon at this time may give rise to storms. Winter sets by late November and continues till Spring arrives in February, January being the coldest. The Himalayan region in the north experiences snowfall during winter, usually after mid-December. ====Temperature==== In the plains, during summer the temperature ranges between 26 °C (79 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F) while winter experiences between 13 °C (55 °F) to 19 °C (66 °F). The [[Darjeeling Hills]] have an average temperature of about 15 °C (59 °F) during summer and 2 °C (36 °F) during winter. ====Rainfall==== [[North Bengal]] receives the highest rainfall: 200-400 cm, the coastal region around 200 cm, while the western region is 100-150 cm. The drought-like condition may occur in the districts of Purulia and Bankura. ==Talk== The official languages of the state are '''[[Bengali]]''' and '''English'''. '''[[Nepali]]''' is widely spoken in the [[Darjeeling Hills]]. '''[[Hindi]]''' is spoken in major cities, and you're likely to find a Hindi speaker in [[Kolkata]]. Other commonly spoken languages include [[Santali]], [[Odia]], and [[Urdu]]. ==Get in== [[Kolkata]] is normally the gateway to the state, but there are entry points all around. ===By plane=== West Bengal has two international airports at [[Kolkata]] and [[Siliguri]] respectively. The state also has some smaller airports, among which Andal Airport at [[Durgapur]] has commercial operations. ===By train=== Railways link it with other states from all sides. ===By bus=== Government-owned companies like NBSTC (North Bengal State Transport Corporation), SBSTC (South Bengal State Transport Corporation) and WBTC (West Bengal Transport Corporation) operate buses to and from various destinations within Eastern India. Several private players also operate air conditioned buses between most important destinations. You can book a bus tickets online for government buses via official websites of respective companies, and for private buses you have options like [https://www.redbus.in Redbus], [https://www.abhibus.com Abhibus], [https://www.mytempotraveller.com/ MyTempoTraveller] and [https://www.myticketbuddy.com Myticketbuddy]. ===By car=== [[Kolkata]] is one of the vertices of the Golden Quadrilateral project, a network of highways that connect the major cities of India. All other major cities are also well connected by national and state highways. ===By boat=== Major ports are Kolkata and Haldia, and there are some smaller ports. ==Get around== Within the state, the main transport links are trains and buses. Taxis and hired cars are available in most places. ===By train=== West Bengal is part of the three zones of Indian Railways: Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR), Eastern Railway (ER) and South Eastern Railway (SER). Apart from the mail and express trains coming from outside the state (they are generally very crowded), there are some fast trains within the state and a large number of passenger trains and locals (mostly around Kolkata). ==See== West Bengal has numerous independent theatre groups locally called "Jatra dol" (travelling group/band), who perform shows mostly in the rural areas. Foreigners, not familiar with the dialect spoken, can enjoy the atmosphere surrounding these events, as fairs organized by local inhabitants, merchants and craftsmen often accompany such gatherings. Kolkata has many established theatre houses, which host events by international theatre groups frequently. Such events draw people from around the globe as it offers a unique opportunity to share culture and ideas. Museums of various discipline are located in the Southeastern region. Several science museums and technology demonstration institutions are scattered across the state. The Himalaya in the north offers a great number of destinations and tourist spots. Wildlife sanctuaries also have resorts scattered on their periphery. Monuments and places of worship had been influenced by several culture, their distinct architecture also speaks of the time of their construction. British influence had led to the construction of many buildings featuring European style architecture, few noteworthy of them carries a Gothic influence. ===World Heritage Site=== * [[Darjeeling Himalayan Railway]] *[[Sundarbans National Park]] ==Do== Make an '''adda''' with people. ''Adda'' is a term Bengalis use for freestyle intellectual verbal information sharing. It is a common sight in Bengal to find groups engaged in rigorous discussion and debates, though more notably in Kolkata. Such gathering always welcome anyone who wishes to join them. It offers a great opportunity to learn more about the local customs, the people and their views on different things and happenings in and around West Bengal. English-speaking travellers can visit Nandan film complex anytime of the day to find the place brimming with such activities. People from various age groups will happily invite foreign tourists to join their discussions and share thoughts, ideas and experience. Take a '''boat ride''' across the Hooghly River, or hire a small boat and spend the evening discovering the banks of the river around Kolkata, Howrah, Diamond Harbour, Chandannagar or Murshidabad. Boatmen usually demand ₹500 for an hour. Price is negotiable through bargaining. ==Eat== [[File:Luchi&alurdom.jpg|thumbnail|Traditional Bengali breakfast comprising of ''luchi'' with ''alur dom'', ''dal'' and ''shondesh''.]] West Bengal is famous for fish preparations and sweet meat but some of the vegetarian dishes are also a speciality. In earlier centuries widows were prohibited from taking anything other than vegetarian food (predominantly they still are but now rules are being broken) and they were principal chefs in large homes. They developed vegetarian dishes extensively. Bengali cuisine is centred around fish. ''Macher jhol'', fish in curry gravy, is a watery fish curry available everywhere and goes well with rice, but Bengalis everywhere swear by the ''hilsa'' fish (a variant of shad). Hilsa, lightly marinaded in mustard and steamed is up there with the best fish dishes in the world. Bengali sweets are famous all over India. ''Roshogolla'' (cheese balls dipped in a sugary syrup), ''pantua'', a fried variant of the same, ''roshomalai'', the same cheeseballs dipped in creamy sweetened milk, ''mishti doi'' (sweet yoghurt), ''shondesh'' (another type of milk-based sweet, available in several variations). In a big city such as Kolkata one will get all types of food from any part of the country. Even one can get Chinese, Thai and continental. In most of the other towns, one can mostly find Bengali hotel and restaurants, though Punjabi, North Indian and South Indian outlets are also available. Mughlai dishes are very popular. ==Drink== There are plenty of bars across the state. ==Stay safe== West Bengal is very safe for foreigners. People are friendly and accept people of different cultures warmly. As a foreigner you might find people staring at you but they are just curious. But if you notice anything objectionable in their behaviour with you, face them boldly and ask for help. People are helpful and you will have them coming to your rescue. You may also call the police. But people on the roads are helpful to foreigners and they can be relied upon. West Bengal is a very politically active state. You may witness clashes, which most often occur between students of fronts affiliated to the ruling party and the opposition parties. It is better to stay out of the matter and leave the area, as even the police sometimes get involved. ==Respect== Although West Bengal has a lot in common with [[Bangladesh]], don't treat it as a part of Bangladesh, It can be considered offensive. The Indian rupee is commonly known as ''taka'' in West Bengal. It is not to be confused with the Bangladeshi taka. The various respect tips in the [[Bangladesh#Respect|Bangladesh]] article apply here, except that the state is Hindu-majority. {{IsPartOf|Eastern India}} [[la:Bengala Occidentalis]] {{usableregion}} {{geo|22.566666666667|88.366666666667|zoom=8}} ikkd38x09i5mw2plcfdimqm5figzo7m 0 39533 4496017 4491716 2022-08-06T10:03:03Z Mx.

Heading south, Wollongong starts where Sydney finishes. It is the third largest city in the state behind Sydney and [[Newcastle (New South Wales)|Newcastle]] and is thinly wedged on a coastal plain between an escarpment and the Pacific Ocean. It is pronounced ''Wool-un-gong''. ==Understand== === Geography === Geography defines Wollongong, as the city is never more than roughly 6 km at its widest but stretches over 40 km from south to north. Its growth was limited by mountains, which are not so much high as steep, and the sea, Wollongong has grown to include a whole chain of coastal towns, from Dapto and Port Kembla in the south to Bulli, Austinmer, and even up to Stanwell Park in the north. Continuous development has stretched the urban area along the coast as far as Kiama in the distant south but those areas are serviced by the growing centre of Shellharbour. Most of Wollongong's suburbs, including several popular beach towns, are covered in this article. The very northern suburbs of [[Helensburgh (New South Wales)|Helensburgh]] and [[Stanwell Park]] are covered in their own articles; in many ways they have closer ties to southern [[Sydney]] than to Wollongong. ===Industry=== Its modern origins are in coal mining and steel production, industries which persist, notably the BlueScope steel facility at Port Kembla to the south. A dedicated port exists for the transport of materials whereas private craft and fishing boats use a separate facility nearer the CBD in Belmore Basin. New industries, such as financial services, information technology, tourism and education are fast becoming trademarks of the city. Wollongong people are proud of the employment and heavy industry in the area, and choose to be more than just an outer commuter suburb for Sydney. === Community === The University of Wollongong is popular with local, other Australian and international students. Due to post war migration involving heavy industry, Wollongong also includes a large Mediterranean, Indian and Asian population which has left its mark on the city and means there is a great range of food and entertainment options. There are many interesting and beautiful locations within easy reach. The immediate area possesses some fine, often uncrowded beaches and reasonable surfing. ==Get in== {{Mapframe|-34.4219|150.9010|zoom=11}}{{mapshape|wikidata=Q56477626}} ===By car=== [[Image:Wollongong sea cliff bridge.jpg|thumb|340px|[[Grand Pacific Drive]] to Wollongong]] The quickest way from [[Sydney]] is to take A1/M1 south. You leave Sydney, and enter greater Wollongong just before the motorway starts. Its about 50 minutes drive to this point, and around another 20 minutes down the motorway to the Wollongong CBD. Expect to take longer in the afternoon peak, Wollongong is a part of the Sydney commuter belt. If you have a little longer, you can take a route via the Bulli Pass and the Wollongong Northern Beaches. At the end of the motorway the Bulli Pass road throws itself straight down the escarpment and along the coast. The exit is well signposted after the end of the motorway. Add 10 minutes for this diversion. If you have a little longer still, a very scenic way to see more of Wollongong, the escarpment and the cliffs, is to take the [[Grand Pacific Drive]] ([http://www.grandpacificdrive.com.au/ official website]). Exit from the motorway at [[Helensburgh (New South Wales)|Helensburgh]] through Stanwell Park and down the coast. The road is well signposted to Wollongong. The Sea Cliff Bridge is a highlight of this trip, between Coalcliff and Scarborough. From the south of Wollongong, follow the Princes Highway (A1) north. From [[Canberra]] or [[Melbourne]], you can access Wollongong via the Illawarra Highway (A48) or via Picton Road (B88). Picton Road offers a faster, straighter trip, while the Illawarra Highway (A48) offers scenery with windy roads and the occasional waterfall and picnic areas. To go the quick, Picton Road (A48) route, ignore the first exit sign to Wollongong from the Hume Highway (M31) at Moss Vale, and take the second, where the exit is also signposted to [[Picton (New South Wales)|Picton]] and Cataract. ===By train=== The train services from Sydney to Wollongong are operated by NSW TrainLink, and have a usual weekday frequency of 15-30 minutes and 60 minutes on weekends. Each four-car train has two quiet carriages for those who want peace and quiet during their journey, and one easy access toilet on board. The trains can get pretty crowded during the morning and evening peaks heading towards and away from Sydney respectively (especially if there are only four carriages), but you should usually get a seat. In the weekday evening peak, these trains fill to standing room only until you pass Sutherland, as well as on Sunday afternoons heading back into Sydney. Similarly to all trains in the region, you can't book a seat, but rather pay with a reloadable Opal Card, a single trip Opal ticket, or a contactless credit/debit card at the Opal gates. {{marker|type=go|name=Wollongong Station|lat=-34.42736|long=150.88758}} is conveniently located in the CBD, and many of the other suburbs going up and down the coast have their own stations. The train journey is a scenic, albeit a slow one, traversing the [[Royal National Park]] with views of the ocean and forest. Sit on the left-hand side and upstairs (looking in the direction of travel) when travelling from Sydney or the right-hand side travelling to Sydney to get the best views. The trip on the limited stops trains takes around 90 minutes. ===By plane=== Wollongong is primarily serviced by scheduled international and domestic airline flights operating into '''Sydney Airport''' ({{IATA|SYD}}) to the north of the city. Connecting links to Sydney are provided by rail and road. To get to Wollongong by car from Sydney Airport drive 60 minutes south along the A1 Princes Hwy and M1 Princes Motorway. Follow the signs from the airport towards Wollongong and Rockdale to get to the Princes Highway, and from there follow the road and directional signage south to Wollongong. To get to Wollongong by train from Sydney Airport, you have two options: * catch a T8 Airport Line train one or two stops to Wolli Creek, and then change for a train to Wollongong. All trains to Wollongong stop at Wolli Creek. * catch a T8 train to Central, then a South Coast line train down to Wollongong. The latter is a better option during peak times as you're more likely to find a seat on the train from Central. Private bus companies operate shuttle services from the airport to any destination door to door in the Illawarra/Wollongong region. * {{listing | name=Wollongong City Shuttle | url=http://www.leisurecoastlimousine.com.au | email=leisurecoastlimo@bigpond.com | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+61 2 4261 7393 | tollfree= | fax=+61 2 4262 2990 | hours= | price= | content=Call or book on-line. }} There is an airport (Illawarra Regional/Wollongong) located south of Wollongong in Shellharbour which mostly caters to general aviation flights, though it also has domestic flights as well.

These buses operate with intervals from every half an hour to every hour and a half. ===By boat=== A couple of Royal Caribbean cruise ships a year visit Wollongong, docking at Port Kembla. ==Get around== ===By bus=== Wollongong bus services form part of the Greater Sydney public transport network. You can either use the Opal card or a contactless debit/credit card when boarding the bus – tap the card when you get on and off so you're charged the correct fare.

On weekends they also stop at North Wollongong station. They run every 10 minutes peak from 7AM-6PM, and every 20 minutes off-peak from 6PM-10PM weekdays, and weekends from 8AM-6PM. These are usually operated by distinctive bright green buses, though the regular blue and white buses are occasionally used. Look out for route numbers 55A and 55C. Take note that the free buses only stop at bus stops marked by the green '''Gong Shuttle Bus''' signboard at the top; they won't stop at ordinary bus stops even if you flagged them down! There are also the navy blue '''North Gong (NG)''' and '''Gwynneville Keiraville (GK)''' shuttle buses, operated by the UOW, which are free to ride as well. ===By train=== The northern coastal suburbs of Wollongong are well serviced by train, however, depending on the station, you can still be a kilometre or so from the beach. Stanwell Park, Austinmer, Coledale, Wombarra and Bulli are the best stations to access nearby beaches, with Austinmer the most popular. All stations see hourly services. ===By car=== A car will take you everywhere in the region you want to go. Parking in the multi-story carparks in the Wollongong CBD is less than $2/hr, up to a maximum of $15. Parking along the Wollongong beaches and foreshore is free. Parking on Sundays is free. Car hire is also available in Wollongong. Avis, Europcar and Hertz are located in Flinders St, just north of the CBD. ===By bike=== An extensive cycle track runs from Wollongong north for 10 km to Thirroul, hugging the scenic beaches, or the same distance south to Windang and Lake Illawarra. This is generally uncrowded and a great way to get a feel for the city and surroundings. Within the city itself, cycling is a bit more challenging thanks to the numerous inclines. However, there are pop-up cycleways on Smith and Harbour Streets to Belmore Basin, and on Kembla Street between Smith and Crown Streets. Cycling is not allowed in Crown St Mall, although people can be seen pedalling through the mall regardless. A good cycle route could take 60 km mostly off-road from Bulli to [[Kiama]], hugging the coast and headlands the whole way, and passing close to all Wollongong has to offer. You can put your bike on the train for the trip back. You can hire bikes at Thirroul to ride south: * {{listing | name=Steel City Cycle | url= | email= | address=365 Lawrence Hargrave Drive, Thirroul | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+61 2 4267 1747 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price=$40 per day | content= }} or in Wollongong CBD: * {{listing | name=Wollongong Bike Hire | url= | email= | address=337 Keira St | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+61 2 4228 7366 | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price=$40 per day | content= }} === By taxi or rideshare === The '''[https://www.illawarrataxinetwork.com.au Illawarra Taxi Network]''' (formerly Radio Cabs of Wollongong) and '''[https://www.13cabs.com.au/ 13cabs]''' serve Wollongong and the surrounding suburbs. The main taxi rank is on Church St next to the Greater Union cinemas. You can also find taxi ranks outside shopping centres in the Illawarra such as in Corrimal, Warrawong, Figtree, and Shellharbour. Aside from taxis, ridesharing providers '''[https://www.uber.com/au/en/ Uber]''' and '''[https://ola.com.au/ Ola]''' also operate around Wollongong. ===On foot=== Despite its hilly topography, Wollongong is a relatively walkable city - you can easily walk from the train station to the Wollongong CBD, and all the way to Wollongong City Beach in about 30 minutes. There are several grey and orange wayfinding signs scattered around the downtown area, most of them situated at major intersections. These indicate the directions to points of interest such as the CBD, Arts Precinct, Wollongong train station, and foreshore. ==See== === Lookouts === The escarpment next to Wollongong provides spectacular views over the coastline and city. * {{see | name=Bulli Pass | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions=10 min North of Wollongong on the main Sydney road, only accessible by car | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price=Free | content=Spectacular views over Wollongong and up and down the coast are available from the lookouts at the top of the Bulli Pass.

Alcohol-fueled violence is common in town at night, primarily in Crown Street Mall and around takeaway food shops. Also beware of groups of young men in cars at City Beach (South Beach) at night and the Lagoon carpark. Do not wander around Unanderra and Dapto at night - both are unsafe, and sometimes during the day. Figtree can be nearly as bad, and Thursday nights in Crown Street Mall are often similar. == Go next == From Wollongong you can follow the coast southwards towards the Victorian border. This road is quite an interesting stretch of highway in Australia in that it follows the coast and headlands, giving you views as you drive along it. Many other coastal Australian highways usually stay a small distance from the coast, requiring side trips to see the scenery. At [[Batemans Bay]] you can turn inland to the Hume Highway via [[Braidwood]] to [[Canberra]] and [[Melbourne]] via the highway. The Illawarra Highway (A48) is a scenic route through the [[Southern Highlands (New South Wales)|Southern Highlands]] to the Hume Motorway/Highway. The road winds its way up through the Macquarie Pass, through Robertson and then on to the open road. * {{listing | name=[[Royal National Park]] | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=Travel north to the world's second national park and camp by the beach. }} * {{listing | name=Kiama Blowhole | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=Travel south by train or car to [[Kiama]], and visit the blowhole.

Normally foreigners are not allowed to take one step on North Korean soil without being accompanied by a guide.

This is of course also the reason why much of the country is made up of [[Next-to-impossible destinations]] (in other words places where they don't bring tourists to). However, some Austrians managed to enter the country "through the backdoor" on the railway from Russia into the extreme northeast of the country and onwards to Pyongyang (and traveling without a guide).

For example: "It should be noted that the Taiwanese (who make up 84% of the Taiwan's population and are culturally Chinese) are to a large extent the descendents of immigrants from the mainland in recent centuries who intermarried with indigenous people. As a result, the genetic makeup of the Taiwanese is noticeably different from that of the mainlanders. In recent years there are also Vietnamese, Indonesian and Filipino migrant workers living harmoniously with other Asian minorities as well as Mainland Chinese immigrants. As for the 14 millions post 1949 immigrants, they come from every province and consist of many non-Han residents." It's not easy to see how that information is of particular use to travellers. I'm new to Wikivoyage (saw it on Slashdot); is there some standard for deciding what goes in the article and what doesn't? I read the Policies page and about all it said for content was that we write what's best for the traveller.

I suggest these be rationalised to include only the administrative districts and leave the sites of note to the subsection below. For example, I don't feel 'Sun Moon Lake' should be explicitly mentioned under Central Taiwan. This is already present in the subsection below. What does everybody else think? [[User:Kdm852|Kdm852]] ([[User talk:Kdm852|talk]]) 15:40, 17 June 2019 (UTC) :Good point there. I agree that it can be deleted, and we can just mention the counties and cities without mentioning Taroko Gorge or Sun Moon Lake since they will be listed under the specific counties, and we already list them under "Other Destinations". Speaking of which, I noticed Jiufen in the city list. While I have been there and it is a beautiful place to visit, I don't think it belongs in the city list since it really is a small town. I was thinking of listing Taitung instead. We only have one city that is not on the west coast, so I think it will be good to have another east coast city other than Hualien, of which Taitung will be the natural option. [[User:The dog2|The dog2]] ([[User talk:The dog2|talk]]) 04:14, 25 June 2019 (UTC) ::Agreed about Jiufen. I think it's an interesting enough place to be mentioned in "Other Destinations", but it's definitely not a city, in my experience. I also agree that Taitung should be on the city list; it's quite small, but also fairly unique in Taiwan, and feels enough like a 'city' to qualify (by my reckoning). If we wanted to deliberately put more east-coast cities, we could consider Yilan. Maybe also Magong if we wanted to include the outlying islands? [[User:Kdm852|Kdm852]] ([[User talk:Kdm852|talk]]) 07:24, 25 June 2019 (UTC) :::Quick word of caution: Just because a place is judged to be too small a city or town to be listed in “Cities”, that doesn’t make it an “Other destination”. The answer to “other than what?” is “other than cities”, and in Wikivoyage classification, towns and villages are “cities”, whereas parks, islands and mountains are not. [[User:Ikan Kekek|Ikan Kekek]] ([[User talk:Ikan Kekek|talk]]) 08:34, 25 June 2019 (UTC) ::::Fair point, but I do think we should tweak the city list a little in the name of regional balance. Keelung, Jiufen and Taipei are all in the Taipei metropolitan area, and the former two are commonly visited as day trips from Taipei. There's probably a good reason why we don't list Yokohama in the city list of the Japan article even though it is technically Japan's second largest city after Tokyo (and I will be starting a discussion about tweaking that list too at some point in the near future). As for the outlying islands, I would prefer a city on Kinmen or Matsu, but I don't think Jincheng, Beigan or Nangan there are of the importance of Magong. Unfortunately, I've never been to those areas, so I'll need someone who has been there to comment. [[User:The dog2|The dog2]] ([[User talk:The dog2|talk]]) 15:15, 25 June 2019 (UTC) :::::So to move this forward, should I just swap Keelung (or Jiufen) for Taitung? Both Keelung and Jiufen are easy day trips from Taipei, and I think they are best listed in the Taipei article under "Go next". This will help with regional balance, since having 3 towns/cities in the Taipei metropolitan area is overkill in my opinion.

Both facts kind of correlate in my opinion. The more ATMs, the harder to maintain. Hence, you might have to try a few before finding one with cash, since everyone is doing the same thing, which leads to the nearby machines to be empty as well. This then can be a problem, when you head to remote regions where there is not many ATMs in general and only fee-charging 7-eleven ones. I reckon also, Taiwanese more rely on electronic pay than cash, so they are not so much concerned about empty ATMs. Right?

I actually saw a DPP supporter go on camera and make that declaration in the Taiwanese news. Taiwan is certainly unique in that Japanese colonial rule is largely seen as a positive thing (though the Hakkas and indigenous people tend to be exceptions to this rule, and are accordingly KMT strongholds). For instance, while China, South Korea and even Singapore generally object to Japanese politicians visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, Taiwanese politicians from the DPP would often visit the Yasukuni Shrine themselves to offer prayers. [[User:The dog2|The dog2]] ([[User talk:The dog2|talk]]) 22:53, 23 August 2021 (UTC) :[[w:Comfort women]] does not report on this, so either there is no reliable source to support this, or it is a very fringe view.

You think there's a travel angle on that? As for someone's great-grandmother "volunteering", is that something he's proud of?

For example: "It should be noted that the Taiwanese (who make up 84% of the Taiwan's population and are culturally Chinese) are to a large extent the descendents of immigrants from the mainland in recent centuries who intermarried with indigenous people. As a result, the genetic makeup of the Taiwanese is noticeably different from that of the mainlanders. In recent years there are also Vietnamese, Indonesian and Filipino migrant workers living harmoniously with other Asian minorities as well as Mainland Chinese immigrants. As for the 14 millions post 1949 immigrants, they come from every province and consist of many non-Han residents." It's not easy to see how that information is of particular use to travellers. I'm new to Wikivoyage (saw it on Slashdot); is there some standard for deciding what goes in the article and what doesn't? I read the Policies page and about all it said for content was that we write what's best for the traveller. If a traveller is dedicated enough to learn all the background about a place, they can go to Wikipedia.

There are administrative districts interspersed with national parks and sites of interest. I suggest these be rationalised to include only the administrative districts and leave the sites of note to the subsection below. For example, I don't feel 'Sun Moon Lake' should be explicitly mentioned under Central Taiwan. This is already present in the subsection below. What does everybody else think? [[User:Kdm852|Kdm852]] ([[User talk:Kdm852|talk]]) 15:40, 17 June 2019 (UTC) :Good point there. I agree that it can be deleted, and we can just mention the counties and cities without mentioning Taroko Gorge or Sun Moon Lake since they will be listed under the specific counties, and we already list them under "Other Destinations". Speaking of which, I noticed Jiufen in the city list. While I have been there and it is a beautiful place to visit, I don't think it belongs in the city list since it really is a small town. I was thinking of listing Taitung instead. We only have one city that is not on the west coast, so I think it will be good to have another east coast city other than Hualien, of which Taitung will be the natural option.

I think it's an interesting enough place to be mentioned in "Other Destinations", but it's definitely not a city, in my experience. I also agree that Taitung should be on the city list; it's quite small, but also fairly unique in Taiwan, and feels enough like a 'city' to qualify (by my reckoning).

There's probably a good reason why we don't list Yokohama in the city list of the Japan article even though it is technically Japan's second largest city after Tokyo (and I will be starting a discussion about tweaking that list too at some point in the near future). As for the outlying islands, I would prefer a city on Kinmen or Matsu, but I don't think Jincheng, Beigan or Nangan there are of the importance of Magong.

Hence, you might have to try a few before finding one with cash, since everyone is doing the same thing, which leads to the nearby machines to be empty as well. This then can be a problem, when you head to remote regions where there is not many ATMs in general and only fee-charging 7-eleven ones.

Taiwan is certainly unique in that Japanese colonial rule is largely seen as a positive thing (though the Hakkas and indigenous people tend to be exceptions to this rule, and are accordingly KMT strongholds).

For example: "It should be noted that the Taiwanese (who make up 84% of the Taiwan's population and are culturally Chinese) are to a large extent the descendents of immigrants from the mainland in recent centuries who intermarried with indigenous people. As a result, the genetic makeup of the Taiwanese is noticeably different from that of the mainlanders. In recent years there are also Vietnamese, Indonesian and Filipino migrant workers living harmoniously with other Asian minorities as well as Mainland Chinese immigrants. As for the 14 millions post 1949 immigrants, they come from every province and consist of many non-Han residents." It's not easy to see how that information is of particular use to travellers. I'm new to Wikivoyage (saw it on Slashdot); is there some standard for deciding what goes in the article and what doesn't? I read the Policies page and about all it said for content was that we write what's best for the traveller.

Although it is administratively separate, New Taipei is for all intents and purposes part of the Taipei metropolitan area. Therefore, I actually think we should not list it as a separate city, and instead treat it as suburban Taipei. In its place, I suggest we add Taichung, which is a major city in Taiwan that is currently not on the list.

There are administrative districts interspersed with national parks and sites of interest. I suggest these be rationalised to include only the administrative districts and leave the sites of note to the subsection below. For example, I don't feel 'Sun Moon Lake' should be explicitly mentioned under Central Taiwan. This is already present in the subsection below. What does everybody else think? [[User:Kdm852|Kdm852]] ([[User talk:Kdm852|talk]]) 15:40, 17 June 2019 (UTC) :Good point there. I agree that it can be deleted, and we can just mention the counties and cities without mentioning Taroko Gorge or Sun Moon Lake since they will be listed under the specific counties, and we already list them under "Other Destinations". Speaking of which, I noticed Jiufen in the city list. While I have been there and it is a beautiful place to visit, I don't think it belongs in the city list since it really is a small town. I was thinking of listing Taitung instead. We only have one city that is not on the west coast, so I think it will be good to have another east coast city other than Hualien, of which Taitung will be the natural option.

I think it's an interesting enough place to be mentioned in "Other Destinations", but it's definitely not a city, in my experience. I also agree that Taitung should be on the city list; it's quite small, but also fairly unique in Taiwan, and feels enough like a 'city' to qualify (by my reckoning). If we wanted to deliberately put more east-coast cities, we could consider Yilan. Maybe also Magong if we wanted to include the outlying islands?

There's probably a good reason why we don't list Yokohama in the city list of the Japan article even though it is technically Japan's second largest city after Tokyo (and I will be starting a discussion about tweaking that list too at some point in the near future). As for the outlying islands, I would prefer a city on Kinmen or Matsu, but I don't think Jincheng, Beigan or Nangan there are of the importance of Magong.

Hence, you might have to try a few before finding one with cash, since everyone is doing the same thing, which leads to the nearby machines to be empty as well. This then can be a problem, when you head to remote regions where there is not many ATMs in general and only fee-charging 7-eleven ones. I reckon also, Taiwanese more rely on electronic pay than cash, so they are not so much concerned about empty ATMs. Right?

I actually saw a DPP supporter go on camera and make that declaration in the Taiwanese news. Taiwan is certainly unique in that Japanese colonial rule is largely seen as a positive thing (though the Hakkas and indigenous people tend to be exceptions to this rule, and are accordingly KMT strongholds).

For example: "It should be noted that the Taiwanese (who make up 84% of the Taiwan's population and are culturally Chinese) are to a large extent the descendents of immigrants from the mainland in recent centuries who intermarried with indigenous people. As a result, the genetic makeup of the Taiwanese is noticeably different from that of the mainlanders. In recent years there are also Vietnamese, Indonesian and Filipino migrant workers living harmoniously with other Asian minorities as well as Mainland Chinese immigrants. As for the 14 millions post 1949 immigrants, they come from every province and consist of many non-Han residents." It's not easy to see how that information is of particular use to travellers. I'm new to Wikivoyage (saw it on Slashdot); is there some standard for deciding what goes in the article and what doesn't? I read the Policies page and about all it said for content was that we write what's best for the traveller.

Speaking of which, I noticed Jiufen in the city list. While I have been there and it is a beautiful place to visit, I don't think it belongs in the city list since it really is a small town. I was thinking of listing Taitung instead.

For example: "It should be noted that the Taiwanese (who make up 84% of the Taiwan's population and are culturally Chinese) are to a large extent the descendents of immigrants from the mainland in recent centuries who intermarried with indigenous people. As a result, the genetic makeup of the Taiwanese is noticeably different from that of the mainlanders. In recent years there are also Vietnamese, Indonesian and Filipino migrant workers living harmoniously with other Asian minorities as well as Mainland Chinese immigrants. As for the 14 millions post 1949 immigrants, they come from every province and consist of many non-Han residents." It's not easy to see how that information is of particular use to travellers. I'm new to Wikivoyage (saw it on Slashdot); is there some standard for deciding what goes in the article and what doesn't? I read the Policies page and about all it said for content was that we write what's best for the traveller.

Canberra is an attraction in itself and it is quiet reasonable to consider that a traveller may head in that direction to Get out or come from that direction to Get in. Not everyone wants or needs to go to Sydney and indeed they may have already been there or are on their way there from a Canberra airport arrival. It is not all that far away (about 180 min as opposed to about 80 min and is at the other end of a scenic drive of potential interest to a traveller. Canberra has plenty of attractions and the airport there is full service with many domestic destinations. It is the nations 8th busiest airport. The only thing it is lacking is scheduled international flights but it does connect to them in Townsville Gold Coast Hobart, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne (MEL) and Melbourne-Avalon (AVV) and serves regional destinations including Albury and Newcastle. It was clear in the text that Sydney was the obvious choice put forward for an airport gateway, but Canberra is also a relatively nearby destination and does offer an alt (domestic) airport for Woolongong. You may be aware that sometimes sydney flights are diverted to Canberra if something goes wrong at SKS (SYD). It is either a divert to Canberra, to Richmond air base, or Williamstown. Canberra is the obvious and normal choice as it has proper terminals and facilities and also being a (decommissioned) RAAF and current AU gov VIP base it has a decent runway and other airfield facilities. A dedicated international processing facility is currently being completed as part of Canberra Airport’s new terminal building and extension program. The Australian Government has an ongoing focus on attracting international services to regional Australian Airports via an unrestricted access regime to foreign carriers, Canberra Airport expects to receive direct international services by 2011/12. Direct international services would also be expected to stimulate the existing market via reduced fare levels and reduced travelling time to overseas destinations. Direct international passenger flights are expected to include flights to New Zealand and to a major Asian hub (e.g.: Singapore, Hong Kong). Flights to New Zealand are expected to initially operate three to five times per week with narrow-body aircraft (Boeing 737/Airbus A320/Embraer 190) by 2011/12 and are expected to grow to daily over time. Services on the Canberra-Auckland route would allow for “one-stop” international flights to Los Angeles, San Francisco and other North and South American cities via Auckland. Such services are likely to be operated by the Qantas Group, Air New Zealand or the Virgin Group. Until a few years ago Nadi was serviced from Canberra. New low-cost long-haul international airlines such as Air Asia X may also be attracted to Canberra as an alternative to Sydney Airport. Further opportunities to Asia may also exist via a narrow body aircraft (such as Airbus A320) service to Asia via a hub in Darwin or Broome, DPS, KUL (LCCT) or LIA in Lombok are possibilities. In the medium term, further routes to Asian and Middle-Eastern hubs, such as Bangkok and Dubai, are likely, as well as to leisure destinations such as Fiji, Bali or Lombok. With Sydney Airport’s curfew, Canberra Airport is the only 24-hour Boeing 747 and Airbus A380 capable airport between Melbourne and Brisbane. A lot of the above comes from the 2009 Canberra airport plan, the one behind the current terminal re-development. <br>So Inas, maybe need to stop being so Sydney centric and not assume that everyone in or passing through Woolongong looks only to Sydney for air services. Please do follow WT protocols and discuss a content revert such as that recently made to the Woollongong article. I did not just throw a bunch of ill-considered nonsense into the article. Indeed it was a reasonable content addition from a regular contributor and fully supported by current australian aviation planning, national route development plans, infrastructure investment and development.

While major cities like London are a nightmare to drive in and best explored using public transport, many small towns and scenic rural areas are best explored by car. ==Understand== Differing from Continental Europe, the United Kingdom drives on the left, and all cars rented or sold in the UK are right-hand drive. Most cars in the UK are manual ("stick-shift") transmission, and car rental companies will allocate you a manual transmission car unless you specifically ask for an automatic when you make a reservation. Renting an automatic car will invariably cost more than renting a manual car of the same model. A car will get you pretty much anywhere in the UK. Parking is a problem in large cities, and especially in London, can be very expensive. Petrol (gasoline) is heavily taxed and therefore expensive - though more or less in the same range as continental Europe [http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/fuel/ as of March 2019] about £1.20 per litre. The cheapest fuel is usually available at supermarkets. Branches of Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons and Asda tend to have fuel stations in their car parks, which are often cheaper than the big name fuel stations like Esso/Exxon, Shell and BP. The [[United Kingdom]] continues to use some [[Metric and Imperial equivalents|imperial measurements]] for road signage. As a result all distances are displayed in miles and yards, whilst speeds are given in miles-per-hour (mph); 1 mile is 1.6 km, while 1 yard is 0.91 m. All other European countries use the metric system, so be aware of the required conversions when travelling from elsewhere. Despite this use of the imperial system, almost all height and width warning signs display both metric and imperial units. All weights are given in tonnes and English (but not Welsh, Scottish or N. Irish) motorways have locator indicators in kilometres at intervals of 500&nbsp;m. == Tolls and charges== Nearly all roads in the UK are toll-free, the exceptions being some major bridges/tunnels (such as the Dartford crossing), and the M6 Toll motorway in the Midlands. With the exception of the Dartford Crossing and Mersey Gateway Bridges, all have toll collection booths. There are a few scenarios where the number-plates of vehicles entering and/or leaving a toll zone are recorded on video cameras. Drivers are required to pay the appropriate fee at an appropriate outlet (often a corner shop) within 24 hours otherwise they will receive a Penalty Charge Notice. These areas and charges (as of 13 February 2022) include: * The [[Dartford]] Tunnel and Bridge: Cars and motorhomes - £2.50 * Central [[London]] Congestion Charge Area - £15 * Central London Low Emission Zone - £12.50 for non-qualifying vehicles * City of [[Durham (England)|Durham]] Congestion Zone - £2 * Mersey Gateway Bridges, [[Cheshire]] - £2 A number of other cities including [[Aberdeen]], [[Bath]], [[Birmingham (England)|Birmingham]], [[Brighton]], [[Dundee]], [[Edinburgh]], [[Glasgow]], [[Manchester]], [[Norwich]], [[Oxford]], and [[Portsmouth]] have '''low emission zones''' from which certain polluting vehicles are banned and/or must pay a charge to enter such zones. There is no consistent method of paying toll and zone charges, so check the official website for those relevant to you. <gallery class="center" caption="Charge Zone Signs"> London CC 12 2012 5045.JPG|Sign showing entry to a congestion charging zone. ULEZ-Sign-P1550989 (32793536747).jpg|Sign showing entry to an ultra low Emission zone. </gallery> == Congestion == [[File:M25 Evening Rush Hour - geograph.org.uk - 366845.jpg|thumbnail|Evening rush hour on the infamous M25]] Traffic can be very heavy, especially during 'rush hour', when commuters are on their way to and from work - typically 07:00-10:00 and 16:00-19:00. School holidays can make a noticeable reduction in traffic, however, particularly in the morning rush hour. The M25 [[London]] orbital motorway is notorious (known to most Londoners as London's car park because all the traffic comes to a standstill) - it is best avoided on Monday mornings and Friday afternoons; use it only if you need to, and take local advice if you plan to drive to Heathrow to catch a plane. The M6 through Birmingham is another traffic blackspot as well as the M8 in Glasgow (the second most congested motorway after the M25). You can typically bet on finding a traffic jam if you drive for more than 90 minutes on the motorway system, especially as you approach cities. Checking local traffic reports on the radio or websites such as [https://www.theaa.com/route-planner/traffic-news AA Roadwatch] or [http://www.frixo.com/ Frixo] can help if you know you need to travel during busy hours. == Parking == [[File:Red-Route-Loading-Disabled-Parking-Sign.jpg|thumbnail|No stopping here, except for loading or if you're disabled]] Parking on-street is usually heavily restricted. Never park on a white, double yellow or double red line. Even stopping on white or red lines is illegal. Parking on a single-yellow line is restricted (typically no-parking during the daytime, e.g. 7AM-7PM) and the restrictions are displayed on roadside yellow signs. In city centres many residential streets require a resident's parking permit to park on the street, although outer-suburbs and small towns have fewer restrictions. On-street parking in cities may be restricted to disability-badge holders or be heavily metered, and is often for no more than a 1–2 hours stay in the daytime but is often free at night. Surface lots generally operate the pay 'n' display payment system - you must buy a ticket from a vending machine, select how many hours you wish to pay and then place the ticket on your dashboard in clear view - these places are regularly patrolled and if you don't return to your car before the allotted time you'll get a penalty or get clamped (but you can only be fined one a day if your vehicle does not move). Often you'll need to enter the numeric digits from your car's number plate when buying the ticket to prevent people from 'selling on' tickets with leftover time. Multi-storeys are usually multi-level buildings or in larger cities may be located underground. Most have barrier-controls - you'll be issued with a ticket upon entry. When returning to your vehicle you must either pay at a 'pay station' (a self-service terminal inside the car park's lobby) in which you insert the ticket and pay the required amount - the ticket will be given back to you and you must insert it into the slot at the exit barrier (although some will have scanned your number plate on entry and the barrier will open automatically on exit if you have paid) ; or alternatively you will pay a cashier at the exit barrier - it'll normally explain the payment process on the ticket. Parking charges vary from less than 50p per hour in small towns to over £4 an hour in the largest cities. Many larger cities have digital displays on the approach roads indicating how many parking spaces are available in each car park. Many cities operate a "Park and Ride" scheme, with car parks on the edge of the city and cheap buses into the city centre, and you should consider using them. In major cities (particularly London, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow and Birmingham) it is usually a much better option to park on the outskirts and take public transport to the centre. This not only saves money on parking and fuel but also saves a lot of time as heavy traffic, twisty one way systems, and limited parking space causes long delays. In any town, expect regular bus services between the centre, suburbs and nearby villages, and less frequent services to more rural areas. London also has the largest mass-transit system in the world - the [[London Underground]] and an extensive overground system and bus network too. London, Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield and Blackpool have trams covering parts of those cities. Outside of London, [[Liverpool]] has the most extensive metro system (Merseyrail), spanning from several stations in the city centre to those in the outer suburbs. [[Newcastle upon Tyne]] has a similar network. Greater Manchester also has an extensive local train network in addition to its expanding metro system. [[Glasgow]] has a small underground rail system in the centre and a local train network. In some cities buses can be slow moving due to traffic congestion. == Structure and route numbering == [[File:Spaghetti-Junction-Crop.jpg|thumbnail|Gravelly Hill Interchange (usually known as "Spaghetti Junction"), NE of Birmingham where the M5, M6 and A38 meet]] [[File:The A37, Break Heart Hill - geograph.org.uk - 908371.jpg|thumbnail|A37, a primary route in the West Country]] [[File:A81 - geograph.org.uk - 1527462.jpg|thumbnail|A81 in Scotland, a secondary road]] [[File:B6270 Gunnerside - geograph.org.uk - 811425.jpg|thumbnail|B6270 passing through Gunnerside, North Yorkshire]] [[File:Winnats Pass - geograph.org.uk - 1193885.jpg|thumb|250px|The [[Castleton|Winnats Pass]] in [[Derbyshire]] is typical of the kind of rural road you might encounter - very narrow, albeit with frequent passing places, and lacking a clear sight of the road ahead by more than a few yards, due to hedges or hills. Expect agricultural features such as cattle grids and livestock walking on the road.]] The UK road network is a multi-tier system, with Motorways at the highest tier, moving down through primary and secondary routes, all the way down to what amount to little more than (un)paved lanes in remote rural areas. You might also hear the term "trunk roads". The term "trunk road" indicates who maintains the roads, not the quality of the road and is therefore of little consequence to the average motorist. The top tiers of the UK road network are comprehensively numbered, these numbers taking precedence on signs. British roads are signed on a route-based rather than destination oriented basis. Road numbering in Northern Ireland is separate from that in Great Britain and often duplicates numbers found in England, Scotland and Wales. Therefore, before setting out on a long journey, plan the route you are going to take and note the road numbers you will need to follow. It is unusual to see destinations signed more than about 50&nbsp;mi (80&nbsp;km) in advance. Generally, UK route signs are excellent and should be very easy to follow. Road numbers are indicated by a letter and a number as in the rest of Europe and sign colours and letters are generally the same as on the rest of European routes. However, European route E numbers do not appear on signs. Whilst some minor routes have nominal numbers allocated, these are typically unsigned. From time to time the Department for Transport publishes lists of primary destinations. Apart from motorways, these destinations always appear on roadsigns with a green background. Route numbering for non motorways is based on a zonal system, with roads inside a zone being numbered according to that zone. The zones themselves are defined radially (on London for England and Wales, and Edinburgh for Scotland). These zones also used to be linked to single digit trunk or primary routes, but this is no longer true. Also, only one route number is allocated to any one piece of highway, for example the Liverpool-Hull motorway (M62) is signposted as the M60 where it shares the highway with the Manchester Ring Road (M60). There are also some route numbers which appear to be out of zone, and which need to be carefully considered in route planning. (For more detail see: [http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Classification Classification at SABREwiki]). The types of road are : * '''Motorways (prefix 'M'- blue signs, white route numbers)''' are fast, long distance routes that connect the major cities. The speed limit is 70&nbsp;mph/113&nbsp;km/h for cars (lower for other types of vehicle) and certain vehicles, such as pedestrians, cyclists, mopeds and those operated by learner drivers are prohibited. Junctions are numbered. The motorways are the best means of travelling long distances by car, but expect delays at peak times or in poor weather. : With the exception of a single stretch of the M6 in the Midlands, some tunnels and bridges, there are no tolls on UK motorways. : Most motorways have three lanes on each carriageway although some have more, and some less used ones have only two. If there are three or more lanes, trucks and vehicles towing trailers or caravans are not permitted to use the outside (right-hand) lane. * '''Primary routes (prefix 'A' - green signs, yellow route numbers)''' connect large towns with each other and with the motorway network. Primary routes usually offer fast journey times, but because they tend to go through towns rather than around them, expect delays at peak times. They can vary from roads of near-motorway quality (such as much of the A1 from [[London]] to [[Edinburgh]], the A38 from [[Exeter]] to [[Plymouth (England)|Plymouth]] or the A55 from [[Chester]] to [[Holyhead]]) to narrow single lane roads in remote areas. * '''Secondary routes (prefix 'A' - white signs, black route numbers)''' connect smaller towns, interchangeable with B roads. * '''B-roads (prefix 'B' - white signs, black route numbers)''' are the larger of the back roads. * '''Minor routes (white signs, black named destinations)''' like country lanes or residential streets. A route number followed by '''(M)''' means upgraded to motorway standard - for example '''A3(M)''' means part of the route A3 that has been upgraded to motorway. A route number in brackets means 'leading to' - for example '''A507 (M1)''' means you can reach the M1 by following route A507. === Major routes (Great Britain) === {| class="wikitable" !Primary

its planning documents and E-routes might be shown on certain computer-generated route maps, they are not sign-posted. ==Maps and navigation== [[File:London A - Z - street atlas book cover.png|thumb|London A - Z - street atlas book cover]] Planning a driving route in the UK is easier than ever with the advent of GPS and online services such as Open Street Map, Google Maps and similar. Unlike many countries, online services for British route planners use postcodes rather than geographic coordinates - a British postcode typcially services a dozen houses or a single business. Still, you should plan to take a paper road map with you for those times when you don't have wifi and the sat nav isn't working, as inevitably happens when you're lost on the roads of a strange country! The '''Automobile Association (AA) Road Atlas''' series are widely considered the best of these. Other reliable brands include '''Collins''', '''Michelin''' and the '''RAC'''. All of these brands have online route planners too (see [http://www.theaa.com/route-planner/index.jsp AA route planner]), though ironically the majority rely on Google to do the actual route planning for them. Navigating on urban streets and along smaller country roads that don't appear on larger road atlases can be a special challenge, but finding the right map for the job doesn't have to be. The '''Geographers' A-Z Street Atlas''' (usually just called an "a to zed") print the best range of urban street maps, while the '''Ordnance Survey's (OS) Landranger''' series is the must-have map for rural motoring. All tourist information centres, most petrol stations, supermarkets, newsagents, and many branches of WH Smith sell regional and national road atlases, in addition to A-Z and OS maps for the local area. == Speed limits == Speed limits in the UK are similar to the rest of Europe, although motorway speed limits are lower. Unless otherwise indicated (see section on Signs) the following are applicable (for cars): {| class="wikitable" !Road type !Limit <br> !Notes |- |Motorways and dual carriageways with a divide median |70 mph (112 km/h) |60 mph (97 km/h) with a trailer. |- |Single Carriageways (undivided highways) |60 mph (97 km/h) |Reduced to 50 mph (80&nbsp;km/h) with a trailer. |- |Built up areas |30 mph (48 km/h) | |- |Minor Roads (Rural) |60 mph (97 km/h) |Although the limit is 60&nbsp;mph, it is a maximum not a recommendation. |- |} Speed limits for cars are 70&nbsp;mph ''(112&nbsp;km/h)'' on motorways and dual carriageways (i.e. roads divided by a grassy area or other hard barrier between opposing directions of traffic); 60&nbsp;mph ''(97&nbsp;km/h)'' on single carriageway (i.e. undivided) roads; and 30&nbsp;mph ''(48&nbsp;km/h)'' in built-up areas unless signs show otherwise. The use of 20&nbsp;mph ''(32&nbsp;km/h)'' zones has become increasingly common to improve safety in areas such as those around schools. Although national limits apply to minor roads and back lanes, driving for the conditions is strongly recommended. On narrow lanes of a rural nature, equestrian and agricultural traffic means that although the nominal 60&nbsp;mph is in force, the 'acceptable' limit for the conditions can be considerably lower. [[File:A77 with average speed cameras - geograph.org.uk - 85539.jpg|thumbnail|Average speed cameras mounted on the central gantry, A77]] '''Speed cameras''' are widespread on all types of road, though more used in some areas than others (England's largest county of [[North Yorkshire]], for example, has a policy of using no fixed enforcement cameras on its highways). Static cameras are often well signed, painted bright colours with clear markings on the road. While this might seem rather strange, the idea is to improve their public acceptance as a 'safety' measure (rather than the widely held opinion that they're there to collect money). In addition to static cameras, traffic police in the UK use 'mobile' cameras and even 'unmarked' patrol cars to look for speeding motorists. You will also find within road works on major roads (and on the A20 approach to [[Dover (England)|Dover]]) the use of average speed over a number of miles, rather than spot speed, cameras. [[File:M6 j10 southbound 'Managed Motorway'.jpg|thumbnail|Variable speed limit close to Junction 10 of the M6 motorway]] There are some variable mandatory speed limits on a number of busier motorways (known as "smart motorways") - these are shown on overhead gantries inside a red circle; other temporary speed limits shown on matrix boards are recommended but not mandatory. Apart from these and around roadworks, the motorways are generally free of fixed speed cameras. Perhaps as a result, many drivers drive much faster on motorways than the stated speed limit (often around 80&nbsp;mph/130&nbsp;km/h), although you will be prosecuted if caught. Driving at slower speeds in the outside (overtaking lane) may cause frustration to other drivers and is an offence punishable by a fine. The same applies to tailgating - driving too close to a slow-moving vehicle in front. Speeding is punishable by an appreciable fine and penalty points on your driving licence. A foreign driving licence or number plate is no defence, as the UK routinely shares information with agencies abroad. If you are caught by a speed camera the whole process is automatic. Police rarely show any discretion in waiving a speeding fine. Very excessive speed could also in addition lead to a more serious charge of careless or dangerous driving, which carries the risk of jail time. Trying to avoid a speeding fine by claiming someone else was driving would amount to the very serious offence of attempting to pervert the course of justice, which can lead to several years in jail. == Road rules == [[File:Old Market Roundabout, Bristol.jpg|thumbnail|The Old Market roundabout in [[Bristol]]]] The road rules differ from other countries: side roads never have priority, overtaking on the left (so called undertaking) is illegal, and you may not turn left over a red light. There are no 4-way stop junctions in the UK; priority should be clearly marked on the road. Be aware of zebra crossings (non-light-controlled pedestrian crossings) marked by black and white stripes on the road and yellow flashing lights on the pavement (sidewalk). You are expected to stop if someone is crossing or waiting to cross. As of 2022, you are also expected to stop and let pedestrians cross a side road that you wish to turn into. There are lots of roundabouts (circulars/traffic islands) in the UK, from large multi-lane roundabouts at dual carriageway junctions to small mini-roundabouts on local streets. The rules for entering them are the same - you have priority over traffic that has not yet entered it, and you must give way to anybody already on the roundabout (who would collide with your right side if you entered it). Be careful of two- or three-lane roundabouts, as there are complicated rules for which lane you should be in which UK drivers learn and expect other drivers to follow. If there are no signs or arrows on the road indicating otherwise (which there often are), you should use the left lane if your turn off the roundabout is to the left or straight on, and the right lane if turning right (but switching to the left lane immediately after passing the last exit before the one you want to use, and in any case ''before'' you turn off - never 'cut up' another driver by turning straight from the outside lane of a roundabout to an exit road). So large roundabouts the inner lanes spirals out as you go round. You should be fine provided you're cautious and keep an eye on other traffic. Some roundabouts are arranged in such designs and quick sequence that they can make you dizzy. Take it easy until you get used to it. Signal your intended direction before entering the roundabout and signal when exiting. For further information on driving in the UK, consult the [https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code Highway Code]. ===Licences=== Driving licences are issued by the '''[https://www.gov.uk/browse/driving/driving-licences Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)]''' in England, Scotland and Wales, and by the '''[https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/information-and-services/motoring/driver-licensing Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA)]''' in Northern Ireland. Licences issued by all European Union countries, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein are valid in the UK until their expiry for all classes of vehicles listed. Licences issued by all other countries are valid for up to a year before you will be required to obtain a UK licence, and may only be used to drive cars and motorcycles. Holders of licences from certain countries may exchange their licence for a UK licence after paying an administrative fee. Check with the relevant government agency for the details. Those holding licences from all other countries are required to pass theory and practical tests before they can obtain a UK licence. === Road signs === (For more detail see - [https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/519129/know-your-traffic-signs.pdf Know your Traffic Signs.] and [https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/traffic-signs The Highway Code]) The UK roads are well signed and in general, consistent with other European road signs, except that distances and speeds refer to miles and miles per hour rather than kilometres and kilometres per hour. In general, triangular signs are warnings, round signs are regulation and rectangular signs convey information. Speed limits are given by circular signs, these give a numerical limit in '''mph''' (not km/h) in a red-bordered sign, a white circular disc with a black diagonal indicates that the 'National' speed limit applies, which is determined by the type of road. <gallery widths="50px" width="275px" heights="50px"> File:UK traffic sign 504.1.svg|Crossroads File:UK traffic sign 510.svg|Roundabout File:UK traffic sign 616.svg|No entry File:UK traffic sign 601.1.svg|Stop File:UK traffic sign 602.svg|Give way File:UK traffic sign 670V40.svg|Speed limit (in mph) File:UK traffic sign 636.svg|No parking File:UK traffic sign 642.svg|No stopping File:UK motorway symbol.svg|Motorway begins </gallery> In [[Wales]] any text on or accompanying a road sign or a road marking is normally in Welsh as well as English. The design and meaning of signs is, however, exactly the same. The only land border in the United Kingdom is the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. In some cases, the only way in which the border is demarcated is a road sign giving speed limits in km/h (entering the Republic of Ireland) or a "National Speed Limit" sign (entering Northern Ireland). <gallery widths="200px"> File:Devil's Staircase Wales.jpg|Welsh road and sign (Devil's Staircase, Carmarthenshire).

May also have red road surface. |- |} === Single track roads === In more rural areas it is common to come across single track roads with passing places. When driving on these you should: * Travel at a cautious speed - the speed limit on these roads is typically 60mph unless signposted otherwise, but this is almost '''never''' an appropriate speed for these roads. You should be travelling at a speed that allows you to stop in the distance you can clearly see ahead of you. * Keep to the left, if a passing place is on the right the vehicle coming the other way pulls in * Keep an eye out for passing places and other traffic * Be careful when reversing the edges of the road are often not marked, and the banks are often not capable of bearing the weight of a vehicle or have drainage ditches. Regardless of how keen the other driver is to make progress ending up stuck in a ditch helps nobody * Allow other traffic to pass, pull in to a passing place on left, or opposite one on the right and signal to the left. Remember the driver behind you could be on an emergency call * Passing places are primarily to allow vehicles to pass, they are not parking places == Stay safe == [[File:Good advice (geograph 3367784).jpg|thumbnail|Drive on the left!]] Driving standards are relatively good in the UK. As everywhere else, there are some aggressive or reckless drivers; but they are a small minority. Traffic police patrol motorways and major roads in marked and unmarked cars. Any police officers, regardless of their normal duties, will pursue a vehicle seen driving dangerously. In general, police are fair but very firm when it comes to traffic offences, and are instinctively suspicious of bad or erratic driving as a sign of more serious matters like an unlicensed or drunk driver. An honest mistake, not amounting to an offence, may often lead to just some friendly advice or a warning. But they will show little or no discretion to anyone who has deliberately broken the law. British traffic offences are not greatly different from those elsewhere, but the rigour with which the police tackle some of them perhaps is. ===Drunk driving=== Above all, '''don't drink and drive in the UK'''. The maximum limit is 50&nbsp;mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood (0.05%) in [[Scotland]], and 80&nbsp;mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood (0.08%) everywhere else, and this is strictly enforced. Going 'over the limit' is a serious criminal offence. The police often patrol roads in cities and town centres on Friday and Saturday nights on the lookout for drink drivers, and also wait in or near pub car parks (simply getting into your car when drunk, with the intention of driving off, is an offence - even if the car doesn't move). If you fail or refuse to take the initial breath test at the roadside, police will always arrest you and take you to the police station for a further, more accurate test. If you fail or refuse to take that, you will be charged and prosecuted; and you may well be kept in police custody until you 'sober up'. Enforcement of drink driving laws is extremely strict, and anyone caught can expect no leniency from either the police or the courts. Fines are heavy (have been up to £5,000 in some cases), with a minimum driving ban of 12 months for a first offence. There is also the very real possibility of a prison sentence (such as 6 months) simply for driving 'over the limit'; the court will impose additional penalties if the driving was dangerous, and especially if anyone was hurt in an accident caused by a drunk driver. Causing death by drunk driving is treated very seriously indeed, and will lead to an extended jail term, public opinion being very strong on this issue. If you are involved in an accident while under the influence of alcohol, you will be held liable for it even if not over the limit. If the accident is fatal, a long prison sentence is inevitable. Some drivers believe they can get away with just one or two drinks - a pint and a half of ordinary beer, or three small glasses of wine, will put most people on or above the limit. But doing that means you're gambling with your body's tolerance of alcohol. The simplest and safest course is not to drink anything if you're driving, or leave your car and call a taxi instead. Any pub or restaurant will be happy to call one for you, or give you the number of a local company. Police in the UK also routinely check for driving under the influence of drugs, and the penalties for this are also strictly enforced. In particular, the levels of THC (an active ingredient in cannabis) in a person's bloodstream required for a successful drug driving conviction is incredibly low, and will be easily exceeded by the residual levels of a habitual consumer even if they have not consumed the drug in a while. ===Mobile phones=== [[File:Scene of accident, A383 - geograph.org.uk - 1723465.jpg|thumbnail|In the case of an accident police will check if drivers were calling or under influence]] It is an offence to use or even handle your mobile phone whilst driving. That applies whether making a voice call, texting or accessing services; the only exceptions are for hands-free kits (at any time), when parked with the engine off, to pay for something (e.g. at a drive-thru) or if calling the emergency services (at any time). Police will stop you for using your mobile phone and a penalty will be issued on the spot (although you pay by post; police never collect fines themselves). This fine will be accompanied with points endorsed on your licence, whatever your standard of driving at the time. If, though, your driving was erratic because you were using the phone, expect a more serious charge of careless or dangerous driving. After any major accident it is normal for police to breathalyse all drivers and to check mobile phone records, even if there is no other evidence of anyone being drunk or using a phone. They are perfectly entitled to do so. ===Cam recorders=== <!-- Info from https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/dash-cams/article/how-to-install-a-dash-cam-akeOO1D2rI2o -->It is perfectly legal to install a cam recorder in your car provided that it does not obstruct your view. In general this means that the camera may not protrude more than 40 mm into the area swept out by windscreen wipers (unless it is concealed by the rear view mirror). It is not uncommon for the police to request drivers who have cam recorders and who drove in the vicinity of a crime scene to come forward as the information captured on the camera might help them solve the crime. You are of course not permitted to consult or adjust the cam recorder while driving. Under GDPR (privacy laws), you are required to inform every passenger that there is a camera present and anything that they say might be recorded. ===Seat belts=== It is a legal requirement that all persons in a vehicle must wear their seat belt. Persons not wearing a seat belt may receive a fine, although this does not typically come with any points. If a child is not wearing a seat belt, the driver is responsible (whether or not they are also the parent) and a fine will be issued for that offence also. Children under 1.4&nbsp;m are also legally required to use a child booster seat for safety reasons. ===Fog lights=== Use of fog lights where there is no fog is also an offence for which you may receive a fine. ===Automatic Number Plate Recognition=== Police vehicles are equipped with ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) cameras linked to a central database, which automatically alerts officers to any vehicle which is uninsured, untaxed or has not passed its MOT (roadworthiness) test; or if the owner is wanted for any offence. If you trigger an ANPR camera, you will at least be stopped and questioned until the matter is resolved. There have been cases of cars hired to visitors by unscrupulous firms being caught in this way, although anyone hiring such a car would not normally be accused of doing anything wrong. <!--ANPR only works on British-registered vehicles - More recent systems work on foreign plates as well -->Whilst it is considered by some visitors that a foreign number plate makes you largely immune from other means of detection like speed cameras, congestion charge cameras and Traffic (Parking) Wardens, this is a myth. British authorities have access to vehicle registration databases from various other countries, and share data on a regular basis. Be aware that you may also just happen to encounter the one Camera Operator/Warden who is going to take the trouble to track down your address from your home licencing authority. British hire car companies will also charge traffic fines to your credit card, long after you have left the country. If all of this sounds harsh, it's one of the reasons why British roads are among the safest in Europe. === Animals === ''See also [[Animal collisions]]'' The United Kingdom has a strong attachment to animal welfare, hitting or injuring one with a vehicle can elicit strong reactions. Livestock may be encountered on country roads, if you encounter a herd moving between fields or service buildings like a dairy, or barn, waiting it out until it passes is the recommended course of action. Horses can also be encountered, in some upland areas these may roam more freely. Deer are also possible in many parts of the countryside. Warning signs may be provided indicating the potential for livestock, horses or wildlife, but these understandably can not be provided in every context, so exercising reasonable caution on roads is advised. If you must pass horses or livestock, do so slowly, giving them and the person in charge space and time to react. Dogs are a concern in both urban and rural areas. Residential streets, footpaths crossing, and roads next to open spaces, are likely locations to encounter them. Also try to anticipate if a dog is going to dart in front of a vehicle, leashed or not, if you see people in the road or roadside. All animal collisions should be reported to the authorities immediately, for legal reasons. Contacting your insurance provider or the vehicle hire company may also be required. === Smart motorways === Some stretches of the motorway network have been altered to become "smarter", with real-time traffic updates and speed limit controls that can be operated remotely. On these stretches, the hard shoulder has been removed in order to provide an additional lane for traffic. In their place are refuge areas, which rather than forming a continuous lane of extra tarmac, are mere pull-ins spread every {{yard|500}} or so. Some statistical evidence suggests that these stretches record a higher accident rate than stretches of motorway with a hard shoulder, and there is quite a high-profile campaign to reverse the conversion. In January 2020, the Government halted new conversions pending a review, and in March they announced that more refuge areas would be provided on stretches of road where accidents have occurred, but stopped short of committing to new hard shoulders on smart motorways. ===Other=== Drivers from abroad should take note that many British drivers regard the flashing of headlights as a signal that '''they can proceed''', rather than as a warning, or as a signal to slow down due to the presence of police. This misunderstanding has led to a number of accidents. On the other hand, if you are 'flashed' by another driver and allowed to proceed, it's polite to acknowledge that by flashing your lights back as you pass, or waving your hand. If you enter the UK with a left hand drive car the dip direction of the headlights need to be changed. With modern "smart" lights this is a setting from the dashboard, otherwise a lens correction can be stuck over the headlights (usually sold on the car ferry you are probably travelling on). In a dangerous situation, where there is a risk of death or injury, sound your horn, even during the night. The inappropriate use of the horn is illegal between 23:00 and 07:30. UK motorists tend not to change tyres in the winter so need to be extra careful in icy or snowy conditions. At most petrol stations '''petrol''' (gasoline) is dispensed from the '''green''' pump, and '''diesel''' is dispensed from the '''black''' pump. This is the reverse of what you will see in the US so take care when refueling! == Take a break == [[File:M6 Northbound Tebay Services Lake ^ Restaurant - geograph.org.uk - 2638373.jpg|thumb|Tebay services, M6]] The Highway Code recommends you take a break of at least 15 minutes for every 2 hours' driving. Although this is just a guideline, sooner or later you're going to need a rest. On motorways and main trunk roads, there is normally a service area every {{convert|20|mile}} or so. These always have at least a petrol station, toilet, and picnic area, though most also have a range of restaurants, cafés, and shops. Parking is normally free for up to 2 hours, but can be quite extortionate after that limit, so it is not really practical to sleep the night in your vehicle. On the other hand, many services have motels attached to them. The quality of services varies considerably. Some are genuinely well-designed with thoughtful features such as playgrounds for kids, walkie gardens for dogs, and attractive places for you to sit, while others offer refreshment options beyond the norm: street food stands, farm shops, even actual restaurants. However many others, possibly even the majority, are overcrowded, dispiriting places you won't want to spend any time in. Too many suffer from a lack of nutritional choice beyond the golden arches and green mermaid. One thing that all services have in common is that everything is more expensive than it should be. For these reasons, it is often better to pull off the main road and search nearby. You'll nearly always find a petrol station on the road leading away from a motorway junction that's offering a better fuel price. For a longer break, Wikivoyage's destination articles are a good place to start, especially when looking for a proper meal, a place to sleep, or somewhere to stretch your legs. If you just want a quick bite to eat, another handy website is [https://www.justoffjunction.co.uk/ JustoffJunction], which suggests pubs, cafés and supermarkets no more than 5 minutes' drive from the motorway. == Hiring a vehicle == [[File:Rannoch Moor road.jpg|thumb|250px|The joy of the open road! The A82 through [[Rannoch Moor]]]] A number of organisations operate [[car hire]] in the UK, with some specialist hire firms also hiring minibuses for 'private' use. When hiring, you will almost certainly be asked for proof of identity, and confirmation of your entitlement to drive. In most cases a current suitable 'photocard'-style driving licence will be sufficient to meet both these criteria. If you don't hold a UK licence some vehicle rental companies may require you to sit a brief Highway Code test aimed at tourists, or will accompany you on a brief test drive to assess your driving and understanding of the road rules. Hire companies will also seek to establish if you have appropriate insurance (as driving without it in the UK is a crime). Whilst you may have insurance cover, it is sometimes more convenient to accept that offered by hire companies, or to pay an excess, for convenience. Do not under any circumstances hire a vehicle from an individual you are unsure of, especially if they are not a representative of an established firm. This is especially important at airports and other prominent transport hubs. == Insurance == It is a crime to drive a vehicle in the UK without appropriate insurance, and if caught you could face an expensive court appearance. == Vehicle crime and security == [[File:Wheel clamp.jpg|thumbnail|A British wheel clamp]] Vehicle crime in the UK is at a level comparable with the rest of Europe, and it is unlikely that you will be affected by it if you follow the standard advice about locking up a vehicle, and not leaving valuable items on display (sat-navs (GPS) have been noted as an attractive target). You should also not leave any important documents (such as your driving licence, insurance or hire agreement) in an unattended vehicle. ==='Clampers'=== In some areas of the UK so-called 'clampers' operate, to enforce parking restrictions. Despite views represented by media in the UK, the number of rogue clampers is low, owing to regulatory action within the parking industry and also the impact of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 . If your vehicle is clamped : * Do NOT pay cash on the spot, and if you need to make a payment to get the vehicle released, get a receipt. * Be polite but firm with the clampers. * Always ask for their identification and authorisation. * Remember that private clampers do not have 'Police'-style powers. Moreover, if they are acting illegally, then under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 they risk a fine of up to £5,000 in a magistrates’ court or, if the case is progressed to a Crown Court, an unlimited fine. {{guidetopic}} {{PartOfTopic|Driving in Europe|Britain and Ireland}} tbff7o5vrvw8kgkq7bqh5qmj3815jry 0 123747 4495989 4397462 2022-08-06T08:21:40Z 121.45.58.83 /* Before take-off */ Mobile phone use onboard wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Jetstar 787 JQ35 in flight banner.jpg}} {{ombox|type=custom|image=[[File:BSicon FLUG.svg|link=Flying|30px]]|text=<div style="color:black">This article is part of a series explaining the standard procedures, rules, and other basics of [[Flying|'''travelling by air''']]. Use the arrows below to navigate to the surrounding sections: {{center|[[At the airport|'''← At the airport''']] • [[Arriving by plane|'''Arriving by plane →''']]}}</div>}} [[Image:Lufthansa 737 interior.jpg|thumb|300px|If only all flights had this much room to spread out!]] This part of Wikivoyage's guide to flying focuses on what may be the most critical part of your journey – sitting in a chair for hours, perhaps many hours. While this may seem a tame exploit, the fact that the chair is hurtling through the air at hundreds of miles an hour adds a welcome ''frisson'' to proceedings. So, with that in mind, this article seeks to make your chair-bound experience as safe and comfortable as possible. This begins as you enter your airplane. ===Help the cabin crew=== While you'll receive especially attentive service in first- and business-class, '''cabin attendants are not waiters'''. Their duties require many tasks as they try to make you and all others safe and comfortable while boarding. They ensure that all food and supplies are properly delivered and stowed. They also scan and help passengers who may be distressed, ill, unable to find seats, find their seats already occupied, are inebriated or misbehaving, or perhaps on the wrong flight. ''They do all this as they appear to just stand around''. You can and should help at least in these ways... * ''Use storage near your seat(s) for carry-ons.'' (1) Using space farther forward adds little convenience for you, but can create great inconvenience for others seated forward. Because you've helped fill storage in their locale, they may have to store bags near or behind you and go against the flow of others boarding to return to be seated. When disembarking, they again must go "against the flow" to get to their belongings...likely after everyone else has departed. And (2), if you store ''anything out of sight'' anywhere, it ''can be pilfered in-flight'' (yes, it happens; thieves watch to ensure no one else knows who your carry-ons belong to). * Don't ask crew to put your carry-ons in overhead bins...many folks pack them heavily. Carefully close any nearby overhead bin once ''completely'' full if you're not already seated. Crew will often close others once finally and fully filled because you are already seated, and they're masters at (re)packing them for people arriving late. * Put your items in bins or under the seat in front of yours so they take minimum space, e.g. wheeled luggage ''wheels-in'' or ''out'', not sideways if possible (good pieces are designed to fit perfectly in standard overhead bins). * Take your seat promptly after you've stored your carry-ons. * Don't block aisles as others try to reach their seats, nor while in-flight. * Use the call-button ''only'' if you need assistance ''only'' cabin crew can provide. * Take care with food and liquids as you enter and get seated; eat and drink (after airborne at cruise altitude) to avoid unpredictable spills or (embarrassing) bloating/gas. * Make your fastened seat belt visible to crew, e.g., fasten it over any blanket/jacket/coat you use, especially if you plan to sleep while airborne. Otherwise they'll wake you to check it. * Even if the seat belt sign is off, keep your seat belt bucked when you are seated in case of unexpected turbulence. There have been cases of people being seriously injured, or even killed when the aircraft ran into unexpected but exceptionally violent turbulence. * Use the lavatory facilities in your own cabin, and only when the seat belt sign is not illuminated. * Follow crew instructions promptly and ''immediately.'' ===Flying with children=== {{seealso|Travelling with children#By plane}} Children can get restless and irritable while flying and in airports. There are strategies you can follow to ensure your children enjoy the trip. * Arrange entertainment. The best way is to bring a portable media player, books, or anything else they can use to stay occupied with themselves. Be creative. Phones, tablets and PSPs also play video these days, and are much easier to carry than a DVD player and DVDs. Kids don't seem to mind the fact that the screen is 1" square, and the batteries will last far longer than a DVD player for longer flights. * Have something for them to suck on while ascending and descending. Don't give it to the child when you get onto the plane - wait until you are taxiing to the runway, or it will be finished before you take off. Similarly, wait until well into the descent. * Bring favorite snacks for fussy eaters. If children don't like the airplane food and get hungry, irritability can increase. ''If flying to another country, ensure snacks not consumed won't violate its regulations.'' * Aim for a window seat for the child, and sit by the window at the airport. Airports are a hive of activity, usually enough to keep any child occupied for a little while. * Get an airport book. There are many picture books for young children that name the many things at the airport. For older children at a large airport, an airplane identification chart can pass some time. Consider safety. If you are traveling with a child who is less than three, have them sit '''on an approved child carrier, not on your lap.''' (Approved or airline carriers may have special seat belts that improve their protection.) In the unlikely event of an emergency, a lap child may impede your ability to brace. Be aware of whether there is an oxygen mask for infants on the aircraft/row. And generally, anticipate delays. Even the shortest flights can be delayed, involving additional time both in the terminal and on the aircraft. Ensure you have sufficient food, clothes, nappies, and entertainment to avoid turning a couple of hours delay into a nightmare. This will free them to do truly essential flight tasks. Some airlines, rather controversially, do not permit male passengers to be seated next to unaccompanied children. If you are seated next to an unaccompanied child, you will be made to swap seats with a female passenger. ==Before take-off== [[File:Flight attendants performing a pre-flight safety demonstration on an Aeroflot Sukhoi Superjet.jpg|thumb|Flight attendants performing a pre-flight safety demonstration on an Aeroflot Sukhoi Superjet]] * Buckle up and strap your children, in safety seats as needed, then yourself. * Count the number of seat backs between your seat and the emergency exits, keeping in mind that your nearest exit may be behind you. If you ever need to evacuate an aircraft in an emergency you may need to do it in a darkened cabin that could be full of thick black smoke. If the aisle is full of people you will at least know the number of seats you need to climb over to get out in that one in a million emergency. * Put your mobile phone and any other transmitting device into flight mode or switch it off, ''preferably before'' you board the plane. Using a phone on board after the doors are closed (especially while the aircraft is taxiing, climbing or descending) is a violation of some air travel safety regulations; in some countries, switching the phone off is ''mandatory'' during the passenger's ''entire stay'' in the aircraft. Switching the phones off is intended to assure clear, effective and essential communication between pilots and air traffic controllers. If you refuse to comply, you ''will'' be escorted off the plane. '''You have been warned.''' ** If you wish to use Bluetooth headphones or the in-flight Wi-Fi service, you still have to place your device in airplane mode before takeoff to block the mobile phone signals. Once you are allowed to use your device in the air, you can individually turn on the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi functions. For tablets and laptops with no mobile phone service, you can turn off the airplane mode altogether. ** If you need to make a call while at altitude, your aircraft's telephone carrier partner ''may'' provide in-flight service. This is ''very expensive''. Consult your in-flight magazine, especially for details on charges. Typically these cost about $5/minute (plus connection charges) even if you are directly above the place you are calling. SMS on these in-seat handsets may also be available. * Read the emergency instructions and watch the safety briefing even if you have ridden on the airline before as safety features may vary per aircraft and airline. It may be boring but if an emergency happens you will remember what to do, rather than having to read the safety card then and thereby saving precious time. * Place anything containing items you'll use in-flight under the seat in front of you to eliminate obstructing the aisle, if they are small, in the seat pocket facing you. This will minimize disturbance caused to those sitting in aisle seats. If you later need the leg/foot room, and overhead space is available, you can then move to there what you no longer need. * Keep within sight anything you put in overhead bins that contains valuables. As mentioned previously, thieves operate on flights. As necessary, put valuables under the seat at your feet. * Once seated, and if you have them, use sanitizer/sanitizing wipes to clean your hands, tray table, arm rests and (when convenient) the handles on overhead bins. ==During flight== * In cases of an open flight in economy class when nobody is beside you, feel free to put up the armrests (except in exit rows where the armrests can't be lifted) to claim the extra space to yourself. On wide-body aircraft, you can sometimes get a middle block to yourself and turn this into a flat bed of sorts. * '''Wear your seat belt at all times while seated.''' Though it doesn't happen often, more people are injured (a few even killed) by failing to use "belts" than from all other causes of flying injuries. Severe air turbulence can occur without warning even in clear air, and it can violently throw you and others about. When the seat belt sign is off, it only indicates that you'll probably be reasonably safe to move about the cabin briefly. * When getting up from other than the aisle seat, first ask seatmates to let you out, and try not to disturb people behind or in front of you. * If you get up during the food service, you may have to wait for a while before you can get back to your seat. * As a good neighbor, check in advance with the folks behind you if you may/must tilt your seat-back backwards...and just before you do so. The pitch of many economy seats has gotten so small that tilting seat-backs can greatly intrude into space they really need. * On medium-to-long flights, drink lots of liquids without caffeine or alcohol because the latter will dehydrate you at an even faster pace than the airplane's very low humidity. That can worsen jet lag and may induce headaches. Don't hesitate to ask the cabin crew for water, or walk up to the galley to get it. Some airlines (e.g., Emirates, Qantas, Cathay Pacific) offer self-service water fountains (and more) at each galley for passengers to fill their own water bottles. If sanitation is an unknown, ask for bottled water. * '''Don't sit still for the duration of a multi-hour flight'''. Your body isn't designed to stay that way for hours. ** Adjust your body position occasionally (you do this in your sleep anyway). On long flights especially... ** Stretch, flex knees, move your feet in circles...anything you can do in your seat. Some airlines now periodically show video programs showing how to exercise in your seat. Follow them, or do your own thing (or both). By changing position, and moving around a little, you make sure every part of your body gets the circulation it needs, e.g., to avoid deep vein thrombosis (DVT). ** Consider walking around the aircraft occasionally during long flights. Feeling self-conscious about just walking around? Stroll off to the lavatory or galley, or stand up and pretend that you need something out of the overhead bin once an hour. If you have an aisle seat, stand up every time your neighbors want to move, instead of hoping that they'll squeeze past you. ** You might remove your shoes if convenient. On very long flights, better airlines offer slippers upon request, but you'll likely also need warm socks. Always wear shoes in the lavatory, where the floor may be wet. * With the exception of some private charters, ''smoking (even electronic cigarettes) is not allowed on any commercial flight worldwide''. Do not smoke at your seat, in the lavatories or tamper with the smoke detectors in the lavatories to avoid being caught – at minimum you'll be in trouble with the airline and in some jurisdictions subject to prosecution. In U.S. "flagged" aircraft (and many others), '''federal law prohibits tampering with, disabling, or destroying smoke detectors in aircraft lavatories'''. It's a felony, and violation can lead to fines of thousands of dollars, and even a prison sentence. Worried about how you'll survive? Try nicotine patches, nicotine gum, or other tobacco cessation tools. Plan for ways to handle anxiety, if that's one of your triggers. Also, plan other things to do. The immediate urge to smoke, even when it's strong, will subside while you're busy watching funny cat videos or listening to your favorite music. You may also take advantage of the long flight as an opportunity to quit smoking. If you resist lighting up and using other forms of nicotine for 72 hours since your last cigarette, the physical urges will have passed, and you'll be well on your way to staying tobacco-free. * Stow any loose items before landing. Put magazines and books in the seat pocket. Don't leave anything lying on an empty seat or loose under your feet. Under heavy braking on landing, even light articles can slide/roll quite far forward. They can be difficult to find, and before you find them they may be accidentally damaged by exiting passengers. * '''Always follow the instructions of flight attendants''', as well as lighted and posted signs. They are there for your safety and for that of all passengers. ** Flight attendants are trained to be responsible for your safety. Do not argue with them. Resolve any conflict you may have with their orders later on the ground. ** If an "unruly passenger" becomes a serious problem, the captain of the plane may divert to a nearby airport where the passenger will be arrested by local police and escorted off the airplane. Diversions cost the airline a lot of money, and passengers may be forced to cover these costs. ** Flight attendants are often backed by law, e.g., in the US, interfering or physically assaulting a flight attendant is a felony. Short of that, you still can face severe fines and costs for disobeying. * Most airlines (including all US flagged carriers, due to local civil aviation law) prohibit the use of mobile phones in flight, unless placed into "flight safe mode" or "aircraft mode" before departure. A few carriers (e.g. Emirates and Virgin Atlantic on some aircraft types) are now permitting the use of mobile data and even voice calls while airborne. Keep in mind that you'll need an international roaming contract with your carrier and rates tend to be ''very'' high (US$3-$5 per minute or $1 per megabyte is fairly standard.) '''Beware, a gigabyte is around $1,000!''' If voice calls are permitted, be courteous to your fellow passengers and keep conversations brief. Fortunately, many airlines also offer free Wi-Fi onboard. * Other electronic devices are usually permitted once the aircraft is at cruise and the seat belt sign is switched off. Rules regarding when and which devices can be used vary by country and airline: ** In Australia and the United States, airlines typically list categories of devices that ''cannot'' be used on the safety card (cell phones, TVs, remote controlled toys, etc...) in their magazines. ** In Canada, however, aviation law requires a more precautionary approach. No electronic devices are permitted unless a crew member individually checks and authorizes their use. *** Laptops are the only devices that are explicitly stated in safety briefings as being allowed – as long as you check with a flight attendant and any mobile data capabilities are disabled before use. In the past, Air Canada used to state that the use of external laptop accessories (such as hard drives, mice, printers, etc...) was prohibited. The current safety video doesn't mention this, but always check first. *** Other devices such as tablets, iPods, and game systems are at the crew's discretion but are almost always permitted if you ask. ==Sleeping== A short flight can be scheduled during the day, but for intercontinental flights you may have no choice but to fly overnight. Some preparations can help you get a little shut-eye. Flying '''first class or business class''' helps a lot (but is much more expensive than economy), with seats that recline further (sometimes even to a flat bed) and maybe a little care package with a sleep mask, toiletries, etc. Even for economy passengers, airlines often provide a pillow and blanket, especially for long-haul flights. Bring an '''eye mask''', and consider earplugs, a pillow (some flyers love neck pillows; others find them uncomfortable), blanket, and relaxing music or an audiobook. '''Avoid alcohol''', which can disrupt your sleep, and '''sleeping pills''', which can cause weird or embarrassing behavior if the less-than-restful atmosphere of the airplane stops you from getting to sleep. If you're on a long overnight flight and you really need something to help you fall asleep, try taking '''melatonin''' instead. If you take it in pill form, it takes 90 minutes to be effective; in sublingual form it's effective in less than a half hour. But if you're woken up too soon, melatonin may make you feel groggy. Mayo Clinic Dr. Lois Krahn recommends 3 milligrams of the short-acting version. Even if you prepare, accept that '''you're unlikely to really get a good night's sleep'''. Most airline seats are uncomfortable and hard to stretch out in, and on most flights there will be noise, activity, and lights turning on and waking you up. A better strategy may be to plan accordingly. Give yourself time to recover when you arrive—which may be necessary anyway due to [[jetlag]]. To make yourself alert when you land, have a cup of tea or coffee, which the flight attendants will probably offer you when you're getting close to landing. ==Eating and drinking on board== [[File:A Meal In Planes Of British Airways.jpg|thumb|A larger in flight meal]] [[File:Delta Air Lines Meal.jpg|thumb|A smaller in flight snack]] The range, price and quality of airline food varies a lot between airlines. While meals, as well as generous servings of [[alcoholic beverages]], used to be included with the ticket in the "good old days", passengers are usually required to pay for food and drinks; except in [[flying business class|first and business class]], long intercontinental flights, and flights of over an hour in length on full-service carriers within Asia and Australia. Scheduled meals (if any) will often be timed and typed to complement the time zone of the flight's destination. If you pass many time zones, early servings may not match your departure time. For flights that promise no [[food]] during meal hours, consider bringing food with you or buying something at the airport; most airlines will allow you to carry it on board, though budget airlines are often an exception to this. Containers of "solid" food from home or a favorite restaurant can usually be run through the same security procedures as any other item of carry-on luggage, but you'll need to buy drinks and other liquids or semi-liquid foods (including peanut butter, jelly, or yogurt) inside the secure area. The food selection at some airports may be poor and/or overpriced. The crew would prefer that you didn't bring drippy or messy foods, and your fellow passengers would prefer that you didn't bring smelly foods, so leave the tray of barbecue chicken wings or that awesome curry on the ground. Especially if you or a travel companion have diabetes or similar health issues, always bring an "emergency" snack. A small bag of nuts, an apple, or a granola bar can be handy if your flight is delayed. On-board meals for some airlines may be brought in from one of its base or hub airports rather than from a local source. This takes considerable time. Meals kept too long for any reason may have to be discarded due to safety. Scheduled meals may then be limited to packaged snacks/cookies and drinks. This is not the fault of the crew. If an airline ''only'' offers "buy on board" food, prices may well be outrageous to take advantage of a captive market, but the airline will likely make sure that something is available in order to improve their bottom line, as they can't make money on food not sold. Special meals such as [[Kashrut|kosher]], [[Islam#Eat|halal]], [[Hinduism#Eat|Hindu]] and [[Travel as a vegetarian|vegetarian]] food are available from most major airlines, but typically must be requested at least several days in advance. For some additional information, see [[Travel as a vegetarian#Air travel]]. Some airlines provide special meals for children, sometimes including jars of baby food. These also must be requested in advance. Expect no service in [[general aviation]], except in business jets. ==Buy== During the flight, most major airlines, with the exception of US-based airlines, also provide inflight duty free shopping for international flights. Items on sale are rarely top-end luxury items, and are rarely bargains price-wise, though they typically include travel accessories and some airline-exclusive products. ==Toilets== [[File:Aircraft Lavatory.JPG|thumb|An aircraft toilet]] Airliner toilets are infamously small, and the line might be long. On short flights, using the airport toilet before or after the flight is usually a more comfortable option. On some flights, most notably flights to and from the United States, forming a line at the front (near the cockpit) may be prohibited because of security concerns. If so, look at the lit-up bathroom sign and wait for an opportunity when it isn't already occupied. ==Health== {{seealso|Flying and health}} ===Pressure changes=== Air pressure is much lower at high altitude, and while a commercial aircraft cabin holds much of the pressure, in-flight cabin pressure is still significantly lower than at sea level. Air pressure can cause discomfort in the inner ear, especially for passengers with nasal congestion. This most often occurs during descent, and can be quickly remedied by closing mouth, pinching nostrils and trying to exhale, perhaps several times until landing. ===Deep vein thrombosis=== {{cautionbox|The following discussion should not be taken as medical advice. Consult a doctor if you think you might have or be at risk for DVT during planned travel.}} Passengers on long flights may be prone to deep vein thrombosis (DVT); blood clots forming in the veins. The elderly tend to have greater risk than the young. Early symptoms are pain or swelling in the legs. Some precautions are to stretch and/or walk at least every 2 hours or so, doing in-seat exercises, and drinking water, or other non-alcoholic, caffeine-free beverages. High-risk patients could choose an aisle-seat, use compression-hose socks, and prescription blood thinners or over-the-counter aspirin with physician approval. See a more comprehensive article at [[w:Deep vein thrombosis]]. ==Landing== Landing might be delayed because of traffic or weather conditions. Applauding the pilot at touchdown is a custom that can be frowned upon in developed countries where flying is commonplace and exceptionally safe, but common in low-income countries. Remain seated and buckled up until the plane has taxied all the way to the gate. Do not smoke until you have fully passed the terminal building or reached a designated smoking room. {{ombox|type=custom|image=[[File:BSicon FLUG.svg|link=Flying|30px]]|text=<span style="color:black"> Done?

It began in the Middle East over 3,500 years ago and is one of the oldest religions in the world that still exists. ==Understand== {{quote|Hear, O Israel: the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.|author=Deuteronomy, 6:4}} [[File:Israel-2013(2)-Aerial-Jerusalem-Temple Mount-Temple Mount (south exposure).jpg|thumb|An aerial view of the Temple Mount, the former location of the Temple in the Old City of Jerusalem]] ===The basics=== Judaism is a monotheistic religion, worshipping and following the commandments of one God. Unlike many religions, Judaism is inextricably linked to a particular people, the Jewish people, whose homeland is the area of [[Israel]]/[[Palestine]]. According to the Bible, God freed the Jews from slavery in [[Egypt]], after which God gave the '''Torah''' to them at [[Mount Sinai]]. The Torah, meaning "teaching", is the set of laws and beliefs that Jews are expected to follow. According to the traditional interpretation, it consists of a "Written Torah" (the Bible, especially its first 5 books) as well as an "Oral Torah" (the body of traditions from which Jewish law is derived in practice). The '''Hebrew Bible''' (what Christians call the "Old Testament", also known by its Hebrew acronym '''Tanakh''') is holy to Jews, and it consists of three sections: the first five books (called "Chumash" or simply "Torah", and traditionally said to have been dictated by God to Moses); the books of the "Prophets" (''Nevi'im''), and the holy "Writings" (''Ketuvim''). Traditionally, the Torah includes 613 mitzvot (commandments). Jewish religious leaders are called "rabbis", and they are expected to be experts in the laws of the Torah, based on the oral tradition as well as the text of the Bible. However, there are some small groups that do not accept rabbis as leaders. ''Karaites'' are a sect that developed in the Middle Ages, rejecting rabbinic interpretations and following their own direct interpretation of the Bible. Also, the Ethiopian Jewish community was separated from other Jews for thousands of years, and did not have rabbis until their immigration to Israel beginning in 1984. Traditional Jewish law defines as a Jew anyone who was born of a Jewish mother or converted to Judaism following the religion's laws on conversion. Jews are of many hues, nationalities and ethnicities. Even those who no longer believe in the Jewish religion recognize one another as belonging to a single people. Religious Jews believe that Jews need to follow the Jewish religion, but non-Jews only need to be ethical monotheists (sometimes called "Noachides") in order to be rewarded by God. Many authorities on Torah Law go further, loosely interpreting theoretical prohibitions on idolatry for non-Jews as inessential for them. ===Holy sites=== [[File:16-03-30-Klagemauer Jerusalem RalfR-DSCF7673.jpg|thumb|The Western Wall]] In ancient times, Jewish worship was focused on the '''Temple''' in [[Jerusalem]], where animal and grain sacrifices were offered along with prayers and song. But since the Second Temple was destroyed in 70 CE, Jewish worship and ritual have centered around the '''synagogue''' and the home. The synagogue is primarily a place for prayer, and also for religious study. Synagogues are called "temples" by some modern Jews who do not expect the Jerusalem Temple worship to ever be reestablished. The synagogue does not have a fixed architecture, though it usually faces towards Jerusalem; Jews generally face Jerusalem when they pray. At the front is an "ark" (''ahron'') in which Torah scrolls are kept. There is also a platform (''bimah'') where the Torah scroll is placed while being read. In Orthodox and some Conservative congregations, men and women sit separately. Rabbis do not have a formal role in the synagogue. Any male Jew aged 13 or older (and in the more liberal denominations, any female over 12, too) can lead prayers, but sometimes a trained cantor chants the prayers in a highly decorative melodic style. Prayers can be recited in unison, harmony, or responsively with the congregation. That said, there are some specific prayers that can only be led by a direct patrilineal descendant of the ''kohanim'' (Temple priests). There is also a minimum congregation size of 10 male Jews aged 13 or over, known as the '''''minyan''''', which has to be fulfilled before prayers can commence. Relics of the Temple in Jerusalem, such as the '''Western Wall''' and the '''Temple Mount''', are holy to Jews. The Western Wall functions essentially as an outdoor synagogue with a special feature: a tradition of writing prayers on paper and inserting them into cracks in the wall. The Temple Mount is said to be the spot where Abraham was commanded by God to sacrifice his son, Isaac, and where the Temple of Jerusalem would later be built during the reign of King Solomon. Jewish worship on the Temple Mount is controversial among both Jews and Muslims and has been a flashpoint of conflict, so it is prohibited. [[Cemeteries|Graves]], especially of ''tzaddikim'' (righteous leaders), are holy to Jews and can also be places of pilgrimage. In particular, members of the Chasidic movement make pilgrimages to the graves of past leaders, such as those of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov in [[Uman]] and Rabbi Menachem Schneerson in [[New York City/Queens|Queens]]. According to Jewish tradition, small stones are often placed on a tombstone as a sign of grief, reverence and the permanence of memory. Do ''not'' remove them. ===History=== ====Ancient roots==== [[File:Haggadah 15th cent.jpg|thumb|A page of a 15th-century haggadah, a prayer book for the seder, the ceremony in which the Exodus from Egypt is retold and celebrated on the Passover holiday]] Much of early Jewish history takes place in modern-day [[Israel]] and [[Palestine]], but according to the story in the Bible, the origins of the Jewish people came from further east, in modern-day [[Iraq]]. According to the Book of Genesis, the first Jew was Abraham, who was born in [[Ur]], [[Iraq]] around 1800 BCE, and obeyed a divine command to move to the land of Canaan (now Israel/Palestine). Abraham's son Isaac and grandson Jacob lived mostly in Israel, especially [[Beer Sheva]] and [[Hebron]]. But the family's travels also brought them to Haran (in [[Southeastern Anatolia]] south of [[Urfa]]). Near the end of Jacob's life, a famine forced him and his family to move to [[Egypt]]. Jacob had a second name - Israel - so Jacob's descendants, who are the Jewish people, are also known as the "people of Israel" (or in the Bible's language, the "children of Israel"). According to the book of Exodus (see also [[Exodus of Moses]]), the family grew in Egypt into a large people, but an Egyptian monarch (Pharaoh) decided to enslave them. According to Exodus, God inflicted a series of miraculous plagues on the Egyptians in order to convince the Egyptians to let them go. The Israelites left Egypt as free people under the leadership of the prophet Moses. While in the [[Sinai]] desert, God revealed his name to Moses as YHWH (there is no agreement as to the correct vowels, but "Yehova" is based on a misunderstanding, mixing up YHWH and "Adonai", one of the often used replacements), and forbade the Israelites from worshiping any other god. Moses also received the '''Torah''' (the divine covenant and law for the Jewish people) from God, and transmitted it to the people. The desert journey ended up taking 40 years, after which Moses' successor Joshua led the people into the "Promised Land" of Canaan (so called because God had promised it to Abraham's descendants). Joshua conquered the land and killed or displaced many of its Canaanite inhabitants. From then on, the "people of Israel" lived in a territory similar to the modern State of [[Israel]] (including the [[West Bank]], to some extent the [[Gaza Strip]] and parts of [[Lebanon]], [[Jordan]], and [[Syria]]). Archaeological evidence of the aforementioned individuals, as well as the Egyptian slavery and desert wandering, has not been found. Therefore, some modern scholars believe that the above stories are not historically based, in which case the Jewish people's actual origins are as an offshoot of the Canaanite population. As such, the Israelite religion would have originated in the polytheistic Canaanite religion before later becoming monotheistic. ====First Temple period==== According to the Bible, the people of Israel lived several hundred years as a loose tribal confederation, after which they established a monarchy in about 1000 BCE under King Saul. The second king described in the Bible is King David, and the third is King Solomon, both of whom are well known to this day for their leadership and literary/spiritual works. It was David who established [[Jerusalem]] as the national capital and holy site, a status it retains to this day. Solomon then built the first Temple in Jerusalem, which was the focus of worship for the entire nation. After Solomon's death, the kingdom split in two. (However, some scholars believe that it was always split, and the Biblical stories of a unified national kingdom under David and Solomon are incorrect.) The northern kingdom was called Israel, as it contained 10 of the 12 tribes of the people of Israel. The southern kingdom was called Judah, since it was dominated by the powerful tribe of Judah. The southern kingdom had its capital in Jerusalem. The first capital of the northern kingdom was Shechem (modern-day [[Nablus]]), but it was moved several times before settling in Samaria (in the northern [[West Bank]], now called ''Sebastia''). In the 8th century BCE, the Assyrian Empire (with its capital in Nineveh, modern-day [[Mosul]]) arrived on the scene, conquering the kingdom of Israel and exiling its inhabitants. The population of this kingdom was dispersed and eventually lost its Jewish identity. But to this day, there are scattered groups around the world who claim ancestry from the "ten lost tribes of Israel" and membership in the Jewish people. After the destruction of the kingdom of Israel, only the kingdom of Judah remained to carry on Jewish life and religion. In fact, the terms "Judaism" and "Jew" (or rather their Hebrew equivalents) date to this period, and they have come to refer to the entire people of Israel. Later the Babylonian Empire (with its capital in [[Babylon]], by modern-day Hillah) rose to power and conquered the Assyrians. Babylonia captured the southern kingdom of Judah in 597 BCE. After a Jewish rebellion, in 586 BCE the Babylonians returned and reconquered the kingdom of Judah, destroying its cities as well as the Temple in Jerusalem, and exiling its inhabitants to Babylonia (and elsewhere). These exiles maintained cohesion in exile. Their longing to return home is expressed in the famous line from the Biblical Book of ''Lamentations'' "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither." ====Second Temple period==== [[File:Israel-2013-Aerial 21-Masada.jpg|thumb|Aerial view of Masada, showing its formidable defensive position]] After Babylonia was conquered by the [[Iran|Persian]] Emperor Cyrus in 539 BCE, he encouraged those Jews who wanted to do so to return to the Land of Israel and rebuild their Temple in Jerusalem. The re-established community was initially very small, but gradually grew into a significant province within the Persian Empire, known as Judah or Judaea, centered around Jerusalem and the southern West Bank. The Biblical Book of ''Esther'' takes place primarily in the Persian capital of Shushan, in [[Khuzestan]], [[Iran]]. The history described in the Bible ends at this point. The Bible contains many books that were authored by different people at different times, and which were formed into a single collection during the Persian period. After Alexander the Great of Macedonia conquered the Persians, the Jewish community had to contend with Hellenistic influence. Many Jews were deeply influenced by [[Greek]] culture, while others resisted. For a time, a group of anti-Hellenistic Jews called the Maccabees ruled Judea. The holiday of Chanukah celebrates their victory over the Syrian-Greek king Antiochus Epiphanes in 165 BCE, in a revolt beginning in [[Modiin]]. Judaea later fell under [[Rome|Roman]] influence and was eventually made a Roman province. In 66 CE the Jews rebelled against Roman rule. The revolt was put down in 70 CE with the capture of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Second Temple, with the last few rebels holding out in the [[Masada]] fortress until 73 CE. In about 132 CE a second rebellion broke out, under the leadership of the self-proclaimed Messiah, Simon Bar Kochba. This revolt too was put down (in 136 CE) and the Judean Jewish community was dispersed for centuries to come; the Romans renamed what used to be called IUDAEA Syria Palæstina after the Philistines, an ancient people who were the Jews' Biblical arch-enemies to erase the Jewish connection to the land. Jerusalem was rebuilt as a Hellenistic/Roman city named Aelia Capitolina with a temple to Zeus/Jupiter in its center and Jews barred from entering. The word for dispersion in Hebrew is ''Galut'', and in Latin and English, it is called the ''Diaspora''. A tiny minority of Jews (later called the "Old Yishuv") continued to live in their ancestral homeland, often under attack from various conquerors (the Crusades were a particularly bad time for the Old Yishuv but also European Jews). There were a few individual movements (mostly religiously motivated) of Jews into the Holy Land, mostly to Jerusalem, and some synagogues collected money to support the Old Yishuv. ====Diaspora==== [[File:Grand Choral Synagogue of SPB.jpg|thumb|The late 19th-century Grand Choral Synagogue of [[Saint Petersburg]], Russia]] The Diaspora was accompanied by significant changes in Jewish thought and practice. Most notably, since the Temple was destroyed and animal and vegetable sacrifices could not be offered there, the '''synagogue''' became the main site of Jewish worship. There were also changes in leadership: in the late Second Temple period Jews had been divided among sects with different theologies, but after the destruction a group called the '''rabbis''' was recognized as the Jewish religious leadership. "Rabbinic Judaism", as the approach of the rabbis is known, focuses on the "oral law" (a body of traditions alongside the written text of the Bible). The debates of ancient rabbis are preserved in works such as the ''Talmud'' (mostly composed in ancient Iraqi cities such as Pumbeditha [now [[Fallujah]]]), which form the basis for modern Jewish law. Meanwhile the role of ''kohanim'' (Temple priests) lost most of its significance after the destruction. A yearning for the Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael) continued to be an important part of Jewish worship and theology with the phrase "next year in Jerusalem" often uttered at Passover seders. Some individual Jews also arranged to be buried in the Holy Land or at least with earth from the region, but overall the belief was that a reversal of ''Galut'' if it was to come at all would be ushered in by the Messiah, not through "worldly" means. [[File:Expulsion judios-en.svg|thumb|right|300px|Expulsions of Jews in Europe from 1100 to 1600]] The biggest issue in the Diaspora was communal survival. Jews were sometimes physically threatened, and sometimes pressured to convert to other religions. While the pagan Romans did not really mind how the Jews worshiped, as long as they didn't rebel, when the Roman Empire became Christian, things got much worse for the Jews. Christians believed that their New Testament made them the true replacement of the Jews, which would make the Jews willful sinners rejected by God. Similarly, Muslims saw Jews as believing in a distorted, incorrect version of the original monotheistic revelation. Treatment of Jews had its ups and downs under both Christianity and Islam. But generally, the worst persecutions were among Christians, for example the First Crusade (1096–1099, in which many Jews in the Rhineland were massacred), the expulsions of all Jews from Spain and Portugal (1492 and 1496), the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions, and the massacre of Ukrainian Jews in the Khmelnytsky Uprising (1648). Many Spanish and Portuguese Jews converted only outwardly and one of the main tasks of the inquisitions was to expose those "crypto-Jews". Whether or not they or their descendants count as "real" Jews continues to be an issue of theological debate, but both the Spanish and Portuguese states have since apologized for the wrongs done to their Jews and officially invited their descendants back. There were a few major persecutions under Muslim rule, like those of the Almohads in 12th-century Spain, but generally those were much rarer. At times, though, Jews had more or less good lives under Christian protection. One of those times was during the [[Franks|empire of Charlemagne (740s-814)]], who invited Jews to settle in the [[Rhineland]]. This area was called Ashkenaz in Hebrew, and therefore, the descendants of this community, who through later expulsions and migrations eventually made their homes throughout most of Europe, are known as '''Ashkenazim'''. Another community of Diaspora Jews settled in [[Iberia]], and as [[Spain]] is called Sefarad in Hebrew, the descendants of these Jews are known as '''Sephardim'''. Sephardic Jews were extremely successful and contributed greatly to the advanced civilization of the [[Islamic Golden Age]] (8th-13th centuries). Probably the most famous Jewish thinker during that period was Maimonides (c. 1135-1204), who in addition to being a great rabbi and leader of the Jewish community in [[Egypt]], was also a famous philosopher and medical authority, serving as the personal physician of the Egyptian ruler. After expulsions in 1492 and 1496 from Spain and Portugal, Sephardic Jews took refuge in other parts of Europe and the Mediterranean region. Nowadays, many Middle Eastern Jewish communities are somewhat-mistakenly called "Sephardic" due to the prominent role Sephardic exiles played in them. Many Jews, now called '''Mizrachim''', never left the Middle East. Jews in Muslim lands generally had the status of ''ahl al-dhimmah'' (singular: ''dhimmi''), which was lower than Muslims but still protected. In the 20th century, as a result of the Arab-Israeli conflict, most of these communities were wiped out from their historical homelands, though offshoots of these communities now continue in Israel, France and elsewhere. Besides the three main communities, there were other smaller pockets of Jewish settlement. A community of Jews settled in [[Ethiopia]], becoming the '''Beta Israel'''. Some settled in the [[Caucasus]], becoming the '''Mountain Jews''' in what is today [[Azerbaijan]], and the '''Georgian Jews''' in what is today [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]]. Farther afield, two distinct communities put down roots in [[India]], with the community in rural [[Konkan]] becoming the '''Bene Israel''', and the community in [[Kerala]] becoming the '''Cochin Jews''', also known as the ''Malabar Jews''. In [[China]], a small community arrived in the city of [[Kaifeng]] by the 10th century (when it was the capital of the Song Dynasty), and are today known as the '''Kaifeng Jews'''. Unlike the communities in Muslim and Christian lands, the Jewish communities in India and China got along well with their non-Jewish neighbours and never experienced any history of anti-Semitism, though the Chinese community is today somewhat affected by the ruling Communist Party's mistrust of religions and occasional crackdowns on religious observances. ====Later Jewish movements==== '''Kabbalah''' is a mystical form of study which became popular around the 13th century among Spanish Jews. After the Spanish expulsion of Jews, the center of kabbalah study moved to [[Safed]]. '''Chasidism''' (or '''Hasidism''') is a Jewish movement that was founded in the first half of the 18th century by ''Baal Shem Tov'', a [[Ukraine|Ukrainian]] rabbi. He was inspired to create a new style of Jewish practice, emphasizing a joyful connection with God in the forms (for example) of communal singing and dancing. The Baal Shem Tov's followers became known as the Chasidim, and they eventually divided into different sects, named after the village or town where their first ''rebbe'' (rabbi and spiritual leader) came from. So, for example, the Satmarers originated from [[Satu Mare]], [[Romania]], the Lubavitchers from [[Lyubavichi]], [[Russia]], and the Breslovers from [[Bratslav]], [[Ukraine]]. Nowadays, the largest concentrations of Chasidim are in [[Jerusalem/Haredi|Jerusalem]] and [[New York City]] (particularly [[Brooklyn/Southwest Brooklyn|Borough Park]], [[Brooklyn/Williamsburg|Williamsburg]] and the northern part of [[Brooklyn/Bedford-Stuyvesant and Flatbush|Crown Heights]] in Brooklyn). Other concentrations are found in various cities in Israel, the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia. One Chasidic movement - Chabad - does not limit itself to enclaves, but sends individual families to establish a Jewish presence in communities throughout the world. They are a good address for people looking for a Jewish experience while traveling anywhere, and particularly in areas with very small Jewish populations, can sometimes be the only place where kosher food is available. Chasidic men can be recognized by their dressing in suits and black hats at all times. They are often referred to as ''ultra-Orthodox Jews'', though the Chasidim themselves reject this label and are offended when referred to as such. The '''Haskalah''' or "Jewish Enlightenment" was the Jewish response to the Enlightenment in Christian countries, beginning in the late 18th century. It strove for rational thought and integration within non-Jewish society. "Maskilim" (followers of the Haskalah) had a broad spectrum of goals - from conservative rabbis who wanted a rationalist approach to study to radicals who wanted massive social and theological change. One offshoot of the Haskalah was the Reform movement, which reformed Jewish ritual and theology to be more in line with the sensibilities of secular culture. The Zionist movement (see below) was another offshoot. '''Reform Judaism''' emphasizes social concerns over ritual practices (declaring the rituals to be optional, and abandoning many of them altogether). The '''Conservative movement''' is an offshoot of the Reform movement by Jews who thought Reform had gone too far; Conservative Judaism preserves nearly all rituals as well as the system of ''halacha'' (Jewish law), while introducing a few changes such as equal roles for men and women. '''Orthodox''' Jews believe that neither Jewish practice nor theology needed any updating, and they still practice the same way as their ancestors did hundreds of years ago. You may think you can recognise Orthodox Jewish men by them wearing their skullcap (''kippah'' in Hebrew, ''yarmulke'' in Yiddish) all the time and not just during prayers, but some non-Orthodox Jews also do this. Some smaller denominations have developed, such as Reconstructionism, and many Jews describe themselves as not belonging to any denomination. Judaism has always had a tradition of rational debate of even intricate and minor points of religious law and thus the stereotype "Two Jews, three opinions" in part originates with Talmudic discussions that are ongoing to this day. Unlike many other religions, there is no single authoritative voice to tell anybody what is or isn't a proper application of certain theological rules to the modern day, but individual rabbis are often much respected for their insight and their opinions have higher weight among the faithful. Even so, most Jews consider it acceptable for any learned person to debate with a rabbi on religious issues no matter how well-respected he may be. This tradition of debate and intellectual approach to "sacred" topics has influenced even secular or atheist people of Jewish descent like Sigmund Freud in his development of psychoanalysis or Karl Marx in his "dialectic" approach to economics and history. The traditional centrality of Torah study and discussions of Jewish law has meant that Jews have emphasized literacy and education for thousands of years, and therefore, Jews have also often excelled in other areas of life requiring education and discipline. ====The modern era==== Beginning with the French Revolution, European governments began to "emancipate" Jews, that is grant them the same civil rights as other citizens. But hatred of Jews persisted, sometimes basing itself on "racial" (rather than religious) criteria, which its 19th-century proponents started calling '''anti-Semitism''' to sound more "scientific", and other times basing itself on much older reasons, such as jealousy over Jews' perceived wealth. (Jews can be found in all strata of society; the perceived association of Jews and the financial sector is mostly due to the historic Christian prohibition on money lending, which meant that only Jews could loan money to Christians, as well as the fact that Jews were banned from other jobs.) In the 19th and early 20th centuries, there were numerous "pogroms" (violent riots against Jews) in Eastern Europe, particularly in [[Russian Empire|Czarist Russia]] (see also [[Minority cultures in Russia]]). Okhrana, the Czarist secret police, even wrote the most well-known and vile antisemitic forgery, the "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" to stoke antisemitism and distract revolutionary Russians from their gripes against the Russian government. To escape this brutality and to search for opportunity, there was a modern exodus of Ashkenazim from Eastern Europe to the [[United States]], [[Canada]], [[South Africa]], [[Australia]], [[Latin America]]n countries including [[Argentina]], and Western Europe. While Jews had always longed to return to Israel, since the Crusades very few had actually lived there. The number of Jews moving to Ottoman Palestine increased in the late 19th century, due to pogroms and also the growing Zionist movement, which called for establishing a Jewish state in Israel. Zionism gained many followers after the Dreyfus affair (in which a French army officer was convicted of trumped up espionage charges which revealed rampant antisemitism in French society), which led many Jews to conclude that even "civilized" progressive countries would not protect Jews from anti-Semitism, and a specifically Jewish country was needed. Zionism started out as a minority movement (as late as the 1930s, the most popular Jewish party was the anti-Zionist Yiddishist Socialist Bund), but by the 1930s there were hundreds of thousands of Jews living in Mandatory Palestine, and international governments were seriously considering splitting the territory into a Jewish and an Arab state. With the advent of European colonialism in the 18th century, '''[[Baghdad|Baghdadi]] Jews''' migrated to the cities of [[Kolkata|Calcutta]] and [[Mumbai|Bombay]] in the then British colony of [[India]], where they settled and founded many successful businesses. With the expansion of the [[British Empire]], many of these Jews migrated from India to Britain's other Asian possessions, establishing the first Jewish communities in [[Yangon|Rangoon]], [[Penang]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Shanghai]] and [[Singapore]]. Most of these Jews later emigrated to Western countries, resulting in many of these communities being moribund or extinct, but the Mumbai community is still significant, and the Hong Kong and Singapore communities have been supplemented by expatriate Jews from Western countries. In 1933, the Nazi party rose to power in Germany, with the goal of exterminating all Jews everywhere. During World War II they murdered about 6 million Jews before being defeated, in what is known as the '''Nazi Holocaust''', also called the '''Shoah'''. (See [[Holocaust remembrance]] for a guide to some of the Nazi extermination, transit and slave labor camps and memorials on their sites.) The large Jewish communities of Europe were essentially eliminated by the Holocaust, except for Russian and British Jews living outside German control, and most of the survivors would migrate to Israel or the United States following their liberation. The modern state of [[Israel]] declared independence in 1948. It was immediately invaded by Arab armies attempting to destroy it. But it survived this attack, and over the next few decades it steadily grew in population and strength, repelling other attacks in the process and acquiring large territories in the Six-Day War in 1967, some of which it returned for peace treaties. As of 2017, approximately 45% of the world's Jews live in Israel. While the state of Israel has thrived, the Arab-Israeli conflict increased animosity toward Jews living in Muslim countries. Between 1948 and 1970, the vast majority of these Jews fled or were forced out of Muslim countries, with most of them going to Israel, France or the United States. By the 1960s, few Jews remained in Muslim lands where their ancestors had lived for centuries. For example, [[Baghdad]] went from being almost a quarter Jewish to almost completely non-Jewish in a few years. Vestiges of Jewish communities continue to survive in Iran, Turkey, Morocco and Tunisia, but they have been virtually wiped out in the rest of the Middle Eastern and North African Muslim lands. Today, the largest Jewish communities are in Israel, the United States, France, Canada, the United Kingdom, Argentina, Russia, Germany, [[Brazil]], Australia, and by some measures, [[Ukraine]]. The French Jewish community was enlarged greatly with the migration of Sephardic and Mizrachi refugees from France's former North African colonies of Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, whereas a new German Jewish community is largely composed of Jews from the former Soviet Union. The largely secular (ex-)Soviet Jews started emigrating in large numbers in the 1970s, with the pace increasing after the fall of communism in the 1990s. The Soviet government repressed religion, so these Jews tend to be very secular but proud of their Jewish nationality. There is also some emigration from Israel to countries in North America and Europe, where Israelis constitute a recognizable ethnic group. While Israel has always had a net positive migration rate, the number of Israeli expats abroad is nevertheless debated by Israeli politicians as a potential problem, especially given the demographic and economic profile of many emigrants. ===Holidays=== [[File:PikiWiki Israel 11677 The synagogue in Moshav Tsofit.jpg|thumb|Cover of the ark of the Torah in the synagogue in Moshav Tsofit, Israel: Pictured in the center are the Tablets of the Ten Commandments; to their right and left are the 7-branched menorahs that were used in the Temple; above is the crown of the Torah]] The most frequent Jewish occasion is '''Shabbat''', the Sabbath, which occurs every week from 18 minutes before sunset Friday to whenever three stars are visible in the Saturday night sky. During this period, any form of work (very broadly defined) is strictly forbidden. Observant Jews visit the synagogue on Shabbat, particularly on Shabbat morning, but also on Friday evening when Shabbat begins. Trips to the synagogue by Orthodox Jews must be made on foot, as the operation of machinery or harnessing of horses is considered to be work under Orthodox interpretations of Jewish law, and hence prohibited during the Sabbath. Like Shabbat, major Jewish holidays also have prohibitions on work, though some are more lenient than on Shabbat. If a holiday leads into Shabbat or happens after, these restrictions apply to consecutive days. The Jewish calendar is lunar, so the dates of all yearly holidays shift fairly widely in relation to the standard (Gregorian) calendar. The number of the calendar year is calculated from the time that the Jewish cosmology says the Earth was created. For example, 1 April 2015 is 12 Nisan 5775 in the Jewish calendar, meaning that in Jewish cosmology the world had existed for only 5775 years. The first day of the Jewish year is called '''Rosh ha-Shanah'''. In order to prevent the lunar calendar losing touch with the standard one, instead of a leap day, they insert a leap month. These leap months ensure that events that are to be at a certain time of the standard calendar stay there. The most widely celebrated holidays are: * '''Rosh ha-Shanah''' and the fast day of '''Yom Kippur''' nine days later are called the '''High Holy Days''', when even many otherwise unobservant Jews return to synagogues to pray with the community. The former is the Jewish New Year and typically happens in September or October. The latter is the Day of Atonement and happens 10 days later. Observers are required to fast for the duration of it. * '''Passover''', the spring festival when the story of the Exodus from Egypt is retold and celebrated and the foremost family holiday of the Jewish year. The '''Seder''', on the first night (or two nights) of Passover, is a festive family meal celebrating the Exodus, and is observed even by many secular Jews. * '''Purim''', commemorating the Jewish victory over their enemies in ancient Persia. People may get dressed up, often in costumes, and give presents to loved ones and the poor. Purim is the only day of the year when Jews are encouraged to get drunk. * '''Chanukah''', on which candles are lit. Chanukah used to be considered a minor holiday, but it gained in importance among Jews in Christian-majority countries as an alternative to Christmas. This happens at the same time of year, but given they're on the lunar calendar, the dates don't always coincide. Some other major holidays include: * '''Succot''', a fall harvest festival when Jews eat meals in temporary booths with greenery like palm fronds on the roof, recalling the temporary dwellings their ancestors are said to have lived in during the Exodus. * '''Simchat Torah''', literally "Happiness of the Torah", when the yearly cycle of Torah readings ends. Torah scrolls are carried through the synagogue and frequently out onto the street, where joyous congregants dance with them. * '''Shavuot''', a late spring harvest festival that also celebrates God's gift of the Torah at [[Mount Sinai]] and is traditionally marked by all-night Torah study. ===Ceremonies=== There are also several important religious ceremonies that Jews are required to go through on reaching certain important milestones in life. Some of these are observed even by many otherwise non-religious Jews. * '''Brit milah''' — circumcision ceremony, performed when a baby boy is 8-days old, during which he receives his name. If the baby has health issues, it will be delayed. * '''Bar Mitzvah/Bat Mitzvah''' — coming of age ceremony, celebrated by Jewish boys on reaching the age of 13, and Jewish girls on reaching the age of 12 respectively. According to Jewish law, this is when children become responsible for their own actions, and the parents are no longer liable to be punished by God for their children's sins. For male Jews, this is also when they can start leading prayers at the synagogue, and start to count towards fulfilling the ''minyan'' for synagogue prayers. Girls also read from the Torah in the synagogue at their Bat Mitzvah if they are Reform Jews. If they are Conservative or Orthodox, they may lecture on a Jewish topic or read a verse from a book of the Tanakh other than the five Books of Moses, instead. ==Cities== {{Seealso|Holy Land}} ===[[Israel]]/[[Palestine]]=== * {{listing | name=[[Jerusalem]] | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=31.77804 | long=35.23524 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2017-08-18 | content=Judaism's holiest city, former location of the Temple and current location of the Western Wall.

Jews are mainly concentrated in the suburbs of Caufield and St Kilda, with significant numbers also in Doncaster, Kew and Balacava. There are also Chasidic communities concentrated in the suburbs of Ripponlea and Elsternwick. Melbourne's oldest synagogue is the colonial-era '''East Melbourne Synagogue'''. *{{Marker|type=listing|lat=-31.99 | long=115.86|name=[[Perth]]}} — Australia's third largest Jewish community, much more recently established than the Sydney and Melbourne communities, and mostly comprised of South African Jews who migrated to Australia in the 1990s and their descendants. Largely concentrated in the northern suburbs of Yokine, Bayswater, Noranda, Menora, Coolbinia, Morley and My Lawley. The heart of the community is the '''Perth Hebrew Congregation''' in the aptly-named suburb of Menora. *{{Marker|type=listing|lat=-33.86 | long=151.23|name=[[Sydney]]}} — Australia's second largest Jewish community, mainly concentrated in the eastern suburbs of Vaucluse, Randwick, Bondi, Double Bay and Darlinghurst, and a smaller concentration in the upper north shore suburbs between Chatswood and St Ives. Smaller pockets of Jews also exist in numerous other suburbs. The '''Great Synagogue''' is one of the most impressive religious buildings in Australia. ====[[Azerbaijan]]==== *{{Marker|type=listing|lat=41.363 | long=48.518|name=[[Quba|Qırmızı Qəsəbə]]}} — also known as the "Jerusalem of the Caucasus", this is perhaps the only all-Jewish community outside of Israel. It is home to about 3,000 "Mountain Jews", descendants of the Persian Jews who settled in the Caucasus area in the 5th century CE. Theirs is a unique culture, combining ancient Jewish traditions with local Caucasian influences. ====[[Canada]]==== *{{Marker|type=listing|lat=45.50 | long=-73.59|name=[[Montreal]]}} — Though it was historically the heart of Canadian Judaism, many of Montreal's largely Anglophone Jews have moved on to majority-Anglophone provinces since the rise of the Quebec sovereignty movement. However, the [[Montreal/Mile-End|Mile-End]] neighborhood is still home to a fairly vibrant Jewish community, and remains the best place to sample two Jewish-derived staples of local cuisine: Montreal-style bagels (at '''Fairmount Bagel''' and '''Saint-Viateur Bagel''') and smoked meat sandwiches (at '''Schwartz's''' in the nearby [[Montreal/Plateau|Plateau]]). The town-enclave of [[Montreal/Westmount|Westmount]] also continues to be home to Canada's largest Jewish community. *{{Marker|type=listing|lat=43.66 | long=-79.34|name=[[Toronto]]}} — with the large exodus of Anglophone Jews from Montreal in 1976-77, the Toronto area — particularly [[Vaughan|Thornhill]], a small suburb just north of the city line — is home to Canada's largest Jewish population. ====[[China]]==== *{{Marker|type=listing|lat=34.807 | long=114.298|name=[[Kaifeng]]}} — historically home to a small, well-integrated Jewish community that nevertheless retained many Jewish customs, the community has dispersed since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, though their descendants continue to be scattered throughout the city. Sadly, the synagogue fell into disrepair and was destroyed in the 1860s, the site now being occupied by a hospital. Unlike other Jewish communities, the Kaifeng Jews recognised patrilineal rather than matrilineal descent, meaning that they are not recognised as Jewish by the Israeli government unless they undergo an orthodox conversion. While some of these people have rediscovered their heritage and begun to revive some Jewish religious practices, they are forced to keep a low profile due to the communist government's occasional crackdowns on religion. *{{Marker|type=listing|lat=31.13 | long=121.60|name=[[Shanghai]]}} — the city had a significant number of Jews from the 19th century on and got many more as life became difficult for Jews in Germany in the 1930s. During the [[Pacific War]], the occupying Japanese established the Shanghai ghetto in [[Shanghai/Hongkou|Hongkou District]]; Jews often lived in appalling conditions alongside their Chinese neighbours.

The town's synagogue dates from the 14th century, and is the oldest in France. However, the Jewish community was established in Carpentras at least a century earlier, by 1276 at the latest. They were attracted here during a time of widespread persecution, as the town was then ruled not by France or any other kingdom, but was part of a papal county under direct control of the popes at [[Avignon]], in which ironically freedom of religion flourished. The late medieval Jews of Carpentras enjoyed both economic and cultural freedoms on a par with their Christian neighbours. However, by the late 16th century, times had changed and the community was ghettoised, as part of an increasingly intolerant Church's repression of non-Catholic faiths, in particular Protestantism. In this period, Jews were excluded from many spheres of life including a long list of professions and participation in café culture. Somehow, the original community survived this phase of repression and those of the late 19th century and Second World War, and is still extant today. Aside from the synagogue and community cemetery, their most notable contribution to the visitor's experience is the annual Jewish music festival, which takes place in August as part of a wider summer season of festivities. *{{Marker|type=listing|lat=48.87 | long=2.36|name=[[Paris]]}} — Paris has a long and checkered history of Jewish settlement. Jews have participated in every facet of civic life since freedom of religion was declared during the French Revolution, but they were also targeted for mass murder during the Nazi occupation, with the enthusiastic assistance of the Vichy collaborationist government and a mixture of collaboration and resistance from their non-Jewish fellow citizens. The resistance was more successful in saving Jewish lives in France than in many other Nazi-occupied countries, and the previously mostly Ashkenazic Jewish community was augmented by a large-scale immigration of Sephardic and Mizrachi Jews from France's former colonies in North Africa in the 1950s and 60s. The center of Jewish life in Paris is in the [[Paris/4th arrondissement|Marais]], where you can find kosher delicatessens, various Jewish shops, and an excellent Jewish Museum. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the Jewish community of Paris has suffered murderous attacks and a constant level of everyday harassment. This has come from far-right anti-Semites, and mostly nowadays from extremists within the local Muslim community, Europe's largest. Prior to being partly radicalized, that community used to have peaceable relations with their Jewish fellow citizens. As a result, French Jews have been immigrating to Israel at the rate of a few thousand a year, but the French Jewish community is still the largest in Europe, and the world's third largest after Israel and the United States. ====[[Germany]]==== *{{Marker|type=listing|lat=52.51 | long=13.39|name=[[Berlin]]}} - in the [[Berlin/Mitte|Mitte]] neighborhood, the beautiful '''Neue Synagoge''' survived Nazism due to the insistence of a policeman on protecting the building on [[:w:Kristallnacht|Kristallnacht]].

However, this was deliberate at least in part, as the new synagogue is intended not only to show the resurgence of Jewish life, but also that there was a break in Jewish tradition and what caused it. Unusual for a synagogue in Germany, there is no metal scanner or other visible safety measures and frequent guided tours are in keeping with this "open" approach. *{{Marker|type=listing|lat=50.97 | long=11.04|name=[[Erfurt]]}} has the only synagogue built during the communist (GDR) era, and has tried applying its Jewish heritage for a UNESCO world heritage site. *{{Marker|type=listing|lat=48.13 | long=11.57|name=[[Munich]]}} has one of Germany's most notable and architecturally interesting synagogues built after the war.

The campgrounds, vacation hotels, and mountain lodges of the so-called "Borscht Belt" or "Jewish Alps" nurtured the fledgling careers of soon-to-be-famous comedians and entertainers such as Jack Benny, Jackie Mason, and Henny Youngman. Though that golden era came to an end in the 1960s and '70s (see the movie ''Dirty Dancing'' for a fictionalized glimpse at its last days), the region still contains a great deal of summer homes belonging to New York-area Jews, and a few lingering remnants of the old Borscht Belt still soldier on. *{{Marker|type=listing|lat=32.79 | long=-79.96|name=[[Charleston (South Carolina)|Charleston]]}}, [[South Carolina]] contains the [[South (United States of America)|South]]'s oldest Jewish community, originally Sephardic and begun in 1695.

New York Jews have been very prominent and successful in numerous walks of life, including the arts, the sciences, academia, medicine, law, politics and business, and many of New York's educational, healthcare and cultural institutions have benefited hugely from the philanthropy of prominent local Jews. The Jewish community has also left a large impact on the city's culinary landscape, with bagels and pastrami being among the mainstays of New York cuisine. Yiddish is still spoken to a greater or lesser extent by some New York Jews and the use of Yiddish-derived expressions in English has been popularized by Jewish and non-Jewish entertainers from the New York area and filtered into the common speech of many New Yorkers of all backgrounds. Jews in New York vary from atheist to Chasidic, with Chasidim most prevalent in the [[Brooklyn]] neighborhoods of [[Brooklyn/Southwest Brooklyn|Borough Park]], [[Brooklyn/Bedford-Stuyvesant and Flatbush|Crown Heights]] and [[Brooklyn/Williamsburg|South Williamsburg]], many Modern Orthodox Jews in [[Brooklyn/Bedford-Stuyvesant and Flatbush|Midwood]] and also on Manhattan's [[Manhattan/Upper West Side|Upper West Side]] and Conservative, Reform and secular Jews in many neighborhoods including Brooklyn's [[Brooklyn/Prospect Park|Park Slope]]. :* The [[Manhattan/Lower East Side|Lower East Side]], parts of which are now in [[Manhattan/Chinatown|Chinatown]], was the first destination of nearly 2 million Jewish immigrants to the US in the late 19th and early 20th century.

The JPS translation of the Tanakh is widely used in the United States and beyond. * {{Marker|type=listing|lat=26.07 | long=-80.83|name=[[South Florida]]}} is another epicenter of American Judaism. Beginning in the mid-20th century, the region became a popular retirement destination for Jews from New York and other Northeastern cities.

The [https://www.skokieshul.org/ Kehilat Chovevei Tzion] is one of the few "dual synagogues" that caters to both Ashkenazic and Sephardic worshippers, with two separate halls for the respective communities to carry out their respective rites. [[File:Westernwall2.jpg|thumb|250px|the '''Western Wall''', Jerusalem]] ==Respect== Most synagogues welcome visitors of all faiths as long as they behave respectfully, though in areas where anti-Jewish violence is a more immediate threat, a member of the congregation might have to vouch for you and you might even be barred entry. When entering any Jewish place of worship, all males (except small children) are normally expected to wear a hat, such as a skullcap (called a kippah in Hebrew and a yarmulke in Yiddish). If you have not brought a hat with you, there is normally a supply available for borrowing, for example outside the sanctuary in a synagogue. Both men and women can show respect by dressing conservatively when visiting synagogues or Jewish cemeteries, for example by wearing garments that cover the legs down to at least the knees, and the shoulders and upper arms. Orthodox Jewish women wear loose-fitting clothing that does not display their figure, and many cover their hair with a kerchief or wig. Traditionally, only men are required to go to synagogue; since women's main religious role is to keep the home kosher, their attendance at services in the synagogue is optional. Some Orthodox synagogues at least in former times used to have only men's sections. In modern times, Orthodox synagogues generally admit women for prayers, though they have dividers (''mechitzot'') to keep men and women separate during services. The dividers can range from simply slightly higher banisters between aisles with equal view of the bimah from men's and women's sections in some Modern Orthodox synagogues to women being relegated to a balcony behind a curtain and not able to see the bimah at all. Egalitarian synagogues, such as Reconstructionist, Reform or egalitarian Conservative synagogues, have no dividers, and men and women can pray sitting next to each other. There are some terms that can be controversial among Jews. Use "Western Wall" to refer to the Jerusalem holy site, not the somewhat archaic-sounding "Wailing Wall", which in some Jews' minds gives rise to Christian caricatures of miserable wailing Jews, rather than dignified, praying Jews. When speaking about the mass murder of Jews by the Nazis, the terms "Holocaust" and "Shoah" are both acceptable. (The word "holocaust" originally referred to a burnt offering for God, so the term could imply that the mass killing of Jews was a gift to God. Nevertheless, "Holocaust" is still the most common English name for the tragedy, and should not cause offense.) The phrase "Jew down", meaning to [[bargaining|bargain]], is offensive, due to its implication of Jews as cheap and perhaps dishonest. In general, it is fine to use "Jew" as a noun, but as an adjective, use "Jewish" (not phrases like "Jew lawyer"), and never use "Jew" in any form as a verb. Jews believe that the personal name of God, YHWH, cannot be pronounced outside the Temple of Jerusalem. Since the Temple has been destroyed and yet to be rebuilt, that means that the name should never ever be pronounced in modern times. In its place, Jews use the term ''HaShem'' when referring to God in third person, and ''Adonai'' when addressing God directly during prayers. Jews' opinions on all aspects of politics, including Israeli politics, run the gamut, but reducing a Jewish person to their opinion on Israel - or worse, taking offense at whatever their opinion may be - is likely to be as counter-productive as reducing an African-American to their opinion on race relations and civil rights. ==Talk== '''Hebrew''' and '''Aramaic''' are the ancient holy languages of Judaism, and are used for worship in synagogues throughout the world. The two languages are closely related and used the same alphabet, so anyone who can read Hebrew will have little trouble with Aramaic. '''[[Modern Hebrew]]''', revived as part of the Zionist movement starting in the late 19th century, is the official and most spoken language in Israel. Other languages often spoken by Jews are the languages of the country they reside in or used to live in before moving to Israel (particularly English, Russian, Spanish, French, Arabic, German and Amharic) as well as '''[[Yiddish]]''', the historical language of the Ashkenazi Jews, which developed from Middle High German with borrowed words from Hebrew, Slavic languages and French, but is written in Hebrew letters rather than the Latin alphabet. (Many languages used by Jews have been written in Hebrew letters at some point, including English.) Before the Nazi Holocaust, Yiddish was the first language of over 10 million people of a wide range of degrees of Jewish religious practice; now, it is spoken by a smaller (but once again growing, thanks to their propensity for large families) population of a million and a half Chasidim. As Chasidic Jews consider Hebrew to be a holy language that is reserved for praying to God, Yiddish is the primary language used in daily life even among Chasidic Jews who live in Israel. '''[[Ladino]]''', similarly, was Judeo-Spanish, and used to be widely spoken among Sephardic Jews living in Turkey and other Muslim countries that had given them refuge, and also in the Greek city of [[Thessaloniki]]. While Yiddish is still very much alive in both Israel and parts of the US and quite a number of Yiddish loanwords have entered languages such as (American) English and German, Ladino is moribund and only spoken by a few elderly people and hardly any children or adolescents. There are some musicians (both Jewish and non-Jewish) that make music in Ladino, often using old songs, and Jewish languages are studied academically to varying degrees. Unlike the Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews, there is no historical unifying language among the Mizrahi Jews, who primarily spoke languages such as [[Persian phrasebook|Persian]] or [[Arabic phrasebook|Arabic]], whichever was dominant in the area they lived in, in addition to using Hebrew for liturgy. ==See== {{mapframe}} ===Synagogues=== Many synagogues, especially those built in the 19th century in Europe when Jews obtained civil rights for the first time, are architecturally spectacular and most of them are willing and able to give tours. Sadly many synagogues (especially in Germany) were destroyed by the Nazis, and if they were rebuilt at all, some of them show a somber reflection about the destruction of Jewish life in the past. Others, however were rebuilt very much in the original style and are truly a sight to behold. * {{see | name=Western Wall | alt= | url=http://thekotel.org/ | email= | address= | lat=31.776667 | long=35.23425 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Western Wall | image=16-03-30-Klagemauer Jerusalem RalfR-DSCF7673.jpg | wikidata=Q134821 | lastedit=2018-02-07 | content=The central prayer site in Judaism, adjacent to the holiest site, the Temple Mount.

Many synagogues have services every day, but particularly on Friday nights and Saturday mornings for '''Shabbat''', the Sabbath, whose observance is one of the Ten Commandments. If you would like to listen to brilliant cantillation (chanting), ask around to find out which local synagogues have the most musical cantors. If there's no synagogue, Chabad, also called the Lubavitcher Chasidim, has many far-flung outposts around the world, and if you are Jewish or travelling with a Jew, they are happy to invite you to a service at their house or a meeting room. *'''Visit a tisch''' - various chassidic groups hold communal celebrations, with lots of singing and with the rebbe presiding. Often outsiders can visit. A good place to find a tisch is [[Jerusalem/Haredi|Jerusalem]]. *'''Go to an event at a Jewish center''' — There are Jewish centers in many places where there are classes, lectures, performances, film showings and art exhibitions. Most of them have online calendars. *'''Charity''' — ''Tzedakah'' is the Hebrew word for "charity", and it is a central mitzvah (commandment) of the Jewish religion. Jews tend to give generously to charity, and there are many Jewish charities, some of which specifically focus on helping other Jews in need, but many of which serve the poor of all creeds. If you would like to be charitable, seek out a Jewish or non-sectarian organization or one run by members of whichever religion you adhere to that focuses on a cause you believe in, or just take out the time to personally help someone who could use a hand. ==Buy== [[File:Mezuzah, taken by Tamara.jpg|thumb|120px|A very elaborate mezuzah]] If you are interested in buying Jewish ritual objects and other things Jewish, look for Judaica stores. Popular items to buy include Shabbat candlesticks; menorahs (9-branched candelabras for Chanukah); jewelry with traditional motifs including the Hebrew letters chet and yod for ''chai'', the Hebrew word for "life", and a silver hand, representing the hand of God; Torahs, prayer books, and books of commentary; ''mezuzot'' (miniature scrolls of parchment inscribed with the words of the ''Shma Yisrael'' prayer, beginning with the words "Hear O Israel! The Lord is our God; the Lord is One!" in decorative cases, to be used as doorposts); and Jewish cookbooks. ==Eat== Under traditional Jewish dietary laws, only '''kosher''' food may be eaten by Jews; see [[Kashrut]]. As Jewish law forbids starting a fire on the Sabbath, a special Sabbath cuisine has developed that deals with this issue and often produces "slow-cooked" meat and vegetables. Rules are stricter during the Passover, and products that are kosher for Passover are usually specifically certified as being so. Although many eateries serving Jewish cuisine are no longer kosher, the Jewish diaspora has made significant contributions to the culinary cultures of many of their home cities. The cities of [[New York City|New York]], [[London]] and [[Montreal]] in particular are well known for their Jewish delis and bagel shops in the Ashkenazi tradition. The quintessential British dish '''fish and chips''' is also believed to trace its origins to Sephardic Jewish refugees fleeing the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions who settled in England. The kosher meal was one of the first special meals to be offered on commercial flights, and kosher food is usually available on most major airlines, but typically must be requested at least 48-72 hours in advance. Israeli flag carrier '''[https://www.elal.com El Al]''' serves only kosher meals on its flights. ==Drink== [[Wine]] is used sacramentally on the Sabbath (Shabbat) and other Jewish holidays. Some of it is highly fortified with sugar, but nowadays, much excellent kosher wine is produced in Israel, the United States, France, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, and various other countries. Wine for Passover must be ''Kosher l'Pesach'', so if you are invited to a seder (a festive Passover meal), look for that special designation when purchasing wine for your hosts. Most Jews consider alcoholic drinks other than wine to be per se kosher, with only a few obvious exceptions (e.g., mezcal con gusano, as grubs are treif). However, drunkenness is at the very least strongly frowned on, except on two holidays: Passover, when according to some interpretations of law, every adult should drink 4 full cups of wine (though in practice, grape juice is commonly considered OK to substitute, as the difference between "wine" and "grape juice" dates to the modern era of pasteurization) and Purim, when there's a tradition that you should drink so much wine that you can't tell Mordecai (the hero of the holiday) from Haman (the villain). ==Sleep== Any Orthodox (or "Shomer Shabbat" — that is, guarding the Sabbath) Jew cannot violate the Jewish law against traveling on Friday nights and Saturdays, which also applies to most Jewish holidays. Therefore, s/he must arrange to sleep somewhere close enough to walk to a synagogue on those days, or in the case of communal holidays that take place in homes (for example, Kabbalat Shabbat to welcome in the Sabbath on Friday night, the Seder on Passover, or the reading of the Megillas Esther [Biblical Book of Esther] on Purim), to the place where the ceremony and festive meal are taking place. It is therefore traditional for Orthodox Jews to open their homes to other observant Jews visiting from far away. If you are a Sabbath-observant Jew and don't know anyone in a place where you are traveling during a Sabbath or holiday, you can usually contact the local Chabad office for advice, as long as you call them before the holiday starts, or you could also try calling a local synagogue. Some hotels and apartment buildings cater to Orthodox Jews by making arrangements for the Sabbath, turning off automatic doors and/or providing special "Shabbat elevators" that operate automatically so guests don't have to push the buttons. ==Stay safe== Unfortunately, the threat of possible anti-Semitic violence is a constant concern throughout the world, though the degree of danger varies with time and place. As a result, it is very common for there to be a police presence or/and armed guards at synagogues, yeshivot, Jewish community centers and other places where Jews congregate. However, the chances that you will happen to be at a place when someone attacks it are very low. In case you need to stand in line to have your bag searched or go through a metal detector, allow extra time just as you do when going to the airport. Being or looking visibly Jewish (e.g. wearing a kippah) can attract unwanted attention, verbal abuse or even violence even in some neighborhoods of major first world cities. Providing a safe place for all kinds of Jewish life was part of the reason for the foundation of Israel, but unfortunately, the geopolitical situation as well as violent individuals affect the safety and security of Jewish institutions there, too. ==See also== * [[Israel]] - the place of origin of Judaism and today the only Jewish state in the world, home to many Jews * [[Jewish Stockholm]] – the Jewish heritage in one of few European capitals outside the Holocaust {{guidetopic}} {{PartOfTopic|Religion and spirituality}} pbkh1dohy1z0a8wvgm5h67tvfysrmcs 0 126631 4495994 4460514 2022-08-06T08:32:10Z Dale Arnett 737490 /* Others */ Updates wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Olympic flag Wikivoyage banner.jpg}} The '''[https://www.olympic.org/ Olympic Games]''' are a series of [[sport]] events occurring every two years, alternating between summer and winter sports. They Summer Games are the largest sporting event in the world. ==Understand== ===History=== ====Ancient Olympics==== The '''ancient Olympic Games''' are traditionally said to have first been held in [[Ancient Greece]] in 776 BC. They were held in the city of '''[[Olympia (Greece)|Olympia]]''' in honor of the Greek god Zeus, and were a series of athletic competitions between the various Greek city-states, with the winner of each event receiving an '''olive wreath'''. Some of the traditions of the modern games were revived from those of the ancient games: like the modern games, the ancient games were held '''every four years''' (a period of time which came to be known as an "Olympiad"), and the symbolism of '''peace''' in the modern games was inspired by ancient games, as a truce would be enacted between all the Greek city-states during the games to allow athletes to travel safely between their homes and Olympia. Unlike the modern games, the ancient games were only open to Greek men who were free (not slaves), and anyone who wished to participate had to prove Greek ancestry. Women were not allowed to participate, and married women were not even allowed to attend as spectators, though women who owned horses or chariots could enter them in the equestrian events (albeit ridden by male jockeys), and would also be declared Olympic champions should their horse or chariot win events. Competitors were also nude (γυμνός, ''gimnós'' in Greek, from which we get "gymnasium" and "gymnastics"). For their first 50 years or so, the ancient games only had a single athletic event, the '''''stade''''' or '''''stadion''''', a sprint of just {{convert|200|yd|m}}. Over their history, 23 different events would be held, although no more than 20 at any one Olympiad. Main events included '''chariot racing''', '''wrestling''', '''boxing''', '''''pankration''''' ("total power", a fierce and sometimes deadly anything-goes fight, conceptually like modern mixed martial arts), ''stadion'' and other '''foot races''', and the original '''pentathlon''' (made up of wrestling, ''stadion'', long jump, javelin throw, and discus throw). However, the ancient games were more than just an athletic event; they were also a '''religious festival''' and '''artistic display'''. Sculptors, poets, and other artisans would exhibit their works (a tradition which continues today in the form of the Opening Ceremonies). While victors only officially won a garland, they would be showered with riches and social honors upon returning home, and during some periods would be commemorated in poems and '''victory songs''', some of which are still known today more than 2,500 years later.<!-- From https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ancient_Olympic_Games&oldid=944739475#cite_note-32, according to https://books.google.com/books?id=HLORxPo6asUC&pg=PA77, archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20160504112937/https://books.google.com/books?id=HLORxPo6asUC&pg=PA77, "120 years, from just before the mid-sixth century [BC] to just after the mid-fifth" --> The Olympic Games were only one of the four '''Panhellenic Games''', the others being the Pythian Games (in [[Delphi]]), the Nemean Games (in Nemea, [[Corinthia]]), and the Isthmian Games (in [[Isthmia]], [[Sicyon]], also near modern [[Corinth]]). A rotating schedule ensured that at least one was held every year. However, the Olympic Games were both the oldest and the most important of the four. The Olympic Games would continue to be held even after Greece came under [[Roman Empire|Roman]] rule, and from the 1st century BC a few Roman competitors were allowed (including Emperor Nero, who failed to finish after being thrown from his chariot, but was declared the winner on the basis that he ''would'' have won if he finished the race!). Eventually the Olympic Games were '''banned''' by Emperor Theodosius I in AD 393 (having run for more than 1,000 years) after he declared [[Christianity]] the state religion of Rome and mandatory for all Roman subjects, as he viewed the games as a Pagan tradition that undermined Christianity. ====Modern Olympics==== The first talks of '''reviving''' the games began in 1821, after [[Greece]] gained independence from the [[Ottoman Empire]]. A donation from Evangelos Zappas, a wealthy Greek-Romanian philanthropist, led to games being held in [[Athens]] in 1859, 1870 and 1875, with athletes coming from Greece and the Ottoman Empire. Meanwhile, a [[United Kingdom|British]] educationalist known as William Penny Brooks would start an Olympian Class in 1850; this competition was and continues to be held every year at [[Much Wenlock]], [[England]]. Inspired by both these events, French baron Pierre de Coubertin would go on to found the '''International Olympic Committee''' ('''IOC''') in 1890. Under the auspices of the IOC, the first '''modern Olympic Games''' would be held in Athens in 1896, with the Panathenaic Stadium, which had been renovated for the games in 1870, serving as the main stadium for the games. The first games in 1896 would also be a male-only event, with women only allowed to compete starting from the 1900 edition in [[Paris]]. For much of its history, the modern Olympics required all participants to be '''amateurs''', or in other words to never have received any monetary compensation whatsoever for sports-related activities, a rule inspired by the ideals of the traditional English gentleman in the 19th century. However, with the start of the [[Cold War]], the [[Soviet Union]] and its communist allies would get around this rule by nominally hiring their athletes in other occupations, but in practice allowing them to be on perpetual paid leave to train full-time. As a result, the rules on amateurism were gradually relaxed, and were eventually completely abolished in 1992, though the sports of [[boxing]] and wrestling continue to use amateur rather than professional fight rules. Another vestige of the amateurism rule can be seen in men's association football (soccer), where participants are required to be aged 23 or younger (except for three over-age players allowed per team) — in part because FIFA does not want to "devalue" their World Cup and European Championships. From 1912 to 1948, the Olympics actually included '''art competitions''' for architecture, literature, music, painting, and sculpture. This was part of Coubertin's vision of replicating the ancient Olympics. (As it happens, he entered in 1912 under a pseudonym and won the gold medal for literature for his poem ''Ode to Sport''.) The art competitions were eventually removed, although you may be surprised to learn why: artists were considered to be professionals, which conflicted with the "amateurs only" rule. Instead, today's Olympics are accompanied by Cultural Olympiads, which encourage many kinds of artistic events. The lavish London 2012 Games included hundred of projects and events including the World Shakespeare Festival, while the budget-conscious Rio 2016 Games used an unpublished program of street theater and flash mobs. ====Paralympics==== A separate movement to include '''disabled athletes''' began shortly after World War II. Ludwig Guttmann, a neurologist who fled Germany for Britain in 1939, established a center for treating spinal injuries at the [[Aylesbury|Stoke Mandeville Hospital]] in 1944. Believing in sports as a method of therapy for injured military personnel, he organized the first Stoke Mandeville Games in 1948, to coincide with the 1948 Olympics in London. In 1960, Rome hosted the first official '''Paralympic Games''' (although that name wouldn't come into use until later, with events from 1960 onward being retroactively renamed). While the Paralympics were originally open only to athletes in wheelchairs, in 1976 rules were relaxed to accommodate other disabilities. Since 1988, the Paralympic Games have been held in the same city and using the same facilities as the Olympic Games, and this was made a formal policy in 2001. Originally formed from the words "paraplegic" and "Olympics", the name is now explained as coming from the Greek παρά (''pará'') as in "parallel", suggesting that the Paralympic Games are the equal of the Olympic Games. (In London 2012, the Paralympics were advertised after the Olympics with cheeky billboards that read "Thanks for the warm-up"!) Paralympic Games typically take place 2–4 weeks after the conclusion of the Olympic Games, and broadcasters who get their country's exclusive contract to show the Olympic Games are becoming required to broadcast an increasing amount of the Paralympic Games as well. Tickets to the Paralympics generally cost around half as much as the Olympics, and demand is substantially lower, making Paralympic tickets ''much'' easier to get. A few sports — namely boccia and goalball — are unique sports solely for disabled players, some like wheelchair basketball and vision-impaired judo are versions of regular sports adapted for particular disabilities, and others like athletics and swimming have only minor adaptations but are broken into categories to account for varying types and levels of disability. As a result of the additional categories, the Paralympics awards 50% more medals than the Olympics despite having only half as many sports. ===Organization=== The '''[https://www.olympic.org/the-ioc IOC]''' (International Olympic Committee; French: ''CIO'' or ''Comité international olympique'') is the independent organization that organizes the Olympic Games. They work with international sports federations to set the rules for the Games, and elect which city will host the Games. Beneath the IOC, National Olympic Committees (NOCs) organize their nation's participation in the Games, and work with city's committees to submit bids to host the Olympics. Since 1996, membership in the IOC has been restricted to independent countries recognised by the international community<!--who on earth is the "international community?-->, though a grandfather clause allows dependent territories recognised before that date, such as [[Hong Kong]], [[Bermuda]] and [[Puerto Rico]], to continue sending teams to the Olympics. In the past there have been controversies and problems regarding countries which claim to be the "sole legal representative" of some territory, for example China (PRC) and Taiwan (ROC) which has been resolved by letting Taiwanese athletes participate under the "Chinese Taipei" designation, East and West Germany (which became moot with reunification) and North and South Korea, which have sometimes attempted to send "unified teams", while [[Catalonia]] continues to campaign for the right to send a separate team from [[Spain]]. The Paralympic Games have a similar structure, being led by the '''[https://www.paralympic.org/ IPC]''' (International Paralympic Committee) and National Paralympic Committees (NPCs). Host cities, however, have mostly shifted to having a single committee to jointly organize the Olympics and Paralympics. Interestingly, the Paralympics are contested by more national teams than the Olympics, as [[Macau]] and the [[Faroe Islands]] send their own teams to the Paralympics, but are required to compete as part of [[China]] and [[Denmark]] respectively at the Olympics. ==Cities== ===Summer Olympics=== In the early years, Summer Olympics were often held over a course of several months and competitors were not clearly separate from the general population, meaning pretty much anybody could show up and participate. Similarly, venues were rarely purpose built and permanent. Several of the pre [[World War I]] games were held together with a World Exhibition and several of the Olympic traditions actually date back to "Intercalated Games" that were to be held between two regular games and always in Athens but abandoned after only one such event was held. In the late 20th and early 21st century, there was a great desire to host the games and the prestige that comes with it. Cities' interest to host the Games has declined for a number of reasons: *Escalating costs have resulted in some cities incurring a massive debt *The abandoned venues are decayed, exacerbating the issue of the debt and if it was worth it *Being a city that has the infrastructure able to host more than 10,000 athletes, the media, the fans and the like. *Being able to have all the venues relatively centralized. *Having the ability to feature diverse sports such as sailing, golf, beach volleyball, open water swimming, etc Because of this, the IOC has changed the way cities win the right to host the Olympics. 2032 in Brisbane was the first example of this with the Australian city winning the right to host without winning a vote against other cities. The [[United States of America|United States]] leads the all-time medal count in the Summer Olympics, having won over 1,000 gold medals, with the Soviet Union in a distant second clocking in at just under 400. However, third place Great Britain is the only team to have won gold at every edition of the Summer Olympics, because the Americans boycotted the 1980 games in Moscow. Since the 1988 Summer Games, all Olympic Games have been followed immediately by the Paralympic Games for disability sports in the same city and using most if not all of the same venues. Joint hosting of the Olympics and Paralympics (both Summer and Winter) has been official policy since 2001. Although the Games are usually said to be hosted in a particular city, in practice the football matches take place in various cities around the host country. Sailing events also often have to be held in alternative locations if the host city is not a coastal city. In rare cases, certain events may also take place outside the host country; some sailing races at the 1920 games took place in [[Netherlands|Dutch]] waters despite [[Belgium]] being the host, and the equestrian events at the 1956 games took place in [[Sweden]] despite [[Australia]] being the host. In addition, when [[China]] hosted in 2008, the equestrian events took place in [[Hong Kong]], which while part of China sends its own team to the Olympics. * [[Amsterdam]] – hosted in 1928; had hosted some sailing events at the 1920 Games. * [[Antwerp]] – hosted in 1920, though some sailing events were held in Dutch waters. * [[Athens]] - hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, the only Intercalated Games in 1906, and again hosted the Olympic Games in 2004. Surprisingly little remains, with most of the venues of 2004 Games now abandoned and lying in disrepair. However, the main stadium of the 1896 games, the Panathinaiko Stadium, which hosted the archery events and the finish of the marathon in 2004, still stands and is a major historical landmark and tourist attraction. * [[Atlanta]] - hosted in 1996. Most of the infrastructure still stands, but the main stadium was reconfigured for baseball immediately after the Games and has been reconfigured again for American football. * [[Barcelona]] – hosted in 1992. Most of the Olympic infrastructure still stands. * [[Beijing]] – hosted in 2008, which is the most expensive summer games to date, and became the first city to have hosted both the Summer and Winter Games in 2022. Equestrian events were held in [[Hong Kong]] due to concerns over equine diseases in mainland China. Most of the Olympic infrastructure still stands, and was used for the 2022 Winter Olympics. * [[Berlin]] - planned host for the 1916 games which were cancelled due to World War I; it hosted the 1936 games, which had been awarded before Hitler took over. The Olympiastadion has since been redesigned but is still standing. Some other venues still exist in some form but are hard to see for the casual observer. The S-Bahn got upgrades for the games. * [[Brisbane]] – scheduled to host in 2032. * [[Helsinki]] – scheduled to host the games in 1940 (after Tokyo gave them back to the IOC due to the [[Pacific War]]); due to World War II, they were postponed until 1952. The Olympic stadium has been the most important outdoor sports venue in Helsinki ever since, but has since been extensively renovated. * [[London]] – the first city to host three Olympics (1908, 1948, 2012), with most of the 2012 infrastructure still present. The exact marathon distance of {{m|42195}} was set for the 1908 games to have the final stretch before the monarch. Planned host for the 1944 games which were cancelled due to World War II, but eventually hosted 4 years later after the end of the war. * [[Los Angeles]] – hosted 1932 and 1984 Olympics, the latter with a large Soviet-led boycott, and will host in 2028. The main stadium in 1932 and 1984, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, is still in active use and is planned to be used in 2028 as well. Some of the other 1932 infrastructure and much more of the 1984 infrastructure still stands. * [[Melbourne]] – hosted in 1956 with the exception of equestrian events, which were held in Stockholm due to Australian quarantine laws. The main stadium, the Melbourne Cricket Ground, is still in active use; it is mostly outwardly unchanged from its Olympic configuration, although significantly modernised within. * [[Mexico City]] - hosted the 1968 games where many records were broken due to high altitude, but several political controversies overshadowed the events. Was unable to host the Paralympics which were hosted by Tel Aviv, Israel. * [[Montreal]] - nearly bankrupted itself with the 1976 games that cost more than expected, especially the Olympic Stadium that proved a less than inspired design and would struggle for years to find a suitable tenant. * [[Moscow]] - hosted in 1980 with a large US-led boycott. The main stadium was renovated for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. * [[Munich]] - host of the 1972 Olympics, which was overshadowed by a terrorist attack that led to the deaths of 11 Israeli team members. Much of the Olympic infrastructure (including ''Olympiastadion'') still exists. The U-Bahn (Germany's third) opened a year ahead of the game and was partly built for the games * [[Paris]] – hosted 1900 and 1924 Olympics, and will host in 2024. The main stadium from 1924 in the suburb of Colombes still stands and will be used for field hockey in 2024, but has been heavily downsized from its 1924 configuration. The 1900 games were the first in which women were allowed to participate. * [[Rio de Janeiro]] - hosted in 2016 after Brazil had already hosted the 2014 FIFA World Cup; many venues are already beyond use or were never planned to be permanent. * [[Rome]] - hosted in 1960; the first city of one of the major Axis Powers of World War II to host after the war. The main stadium is still in use, though it was extensively renovated for the 1990 FIFA World Cup. * [[Seoul]] - hosted in 1988 after an attempt to jointly host with sites in [[North Korea]] fell through. Most of the Olympic infrastructure still stands. * [[St. Louis]] - hosted in 1904. The main stadium, located just outside the city limits, still exists on the campus of Washington University, but has been heavily renovated. * [[Stockholm]] – hosted in 1912, and also hosted equestrian events in 1956. * [[Sydney]] - hosted in 2000. Most of the Olympic infrastructure still stands. * [[Tokyo]] – hosted the 2020 Summer Olympics, which were rescheduled for 2021 because of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]; also hosted in 1964, with the first [[high-speed rail|Shinkansen]] running just in time for the 1964 Games. Planned host for the 1940 games, which were eventually cancelled due to the outbreak of World War II. ===Winter Olympics=== First held in 1924, the Winter Olympics were originally held in the same year as Summer Olympics and often in the same country. With the increasing size of the Olympic Games and the increasing financial commitment for hosts, it was decided to split Summer and Winter Games up, and the Winter Olympics were scheduled to be in the year of the Soccer World Cup to avoid the two biggest worldwide sports events going head to head. The "side benefit" for those making money off of sports (such as the IOC) is that the cash flow is now a bit more even year over year, so that certainly didn't hurt in taking the decision. [[Norway]] leads the all-time Winter Olympics medal table, with the United States in second place, though the United States is the only country to have won gold at every edition of the Winter Olympics. For obvious reasons tropical countries rarely compete, and none have ever won a medal, but if they do they are often fan and media darlings due to their unlikely underdog stories. The Jamaican bobsled team is perhaps the most famous example. Similarly to the Summer Games, each Winter Olympics since 1992 has been immediately followed by the Winter Paralympics, also in the same host city and using the same venues. * [[Albertville]] – hosted in 1992. Most of the infrastructure still stands, though some of it has been renovated. The stadium used for the opening and closing ceremonies was intended to be temporary and was removed immediately after the Olympics, with parts of it used in that year's Summer Games in Barcelona. A monument stands on the site today. * [[Beijing]] – hosted in 2022, which made it the first city to have hosted both the summer and winter games. * [[Calgary]] – hosted in 1988, with almost all of the Olympic infrastructure (much of which is in surrounding areas) still present. * [[Chamonix]] - hosted the very first Winter Olympics in 1924. * [[Cortina d'Ampezzo]] – hosted in 1956, after having been named as the host of the 1944 Games that had been scrapped due to World War II. Scheduled to co-host in 2026 along with Milan. * [[Garmisch-Partenkirchen]] – hosted in 1936; less overtly Nazified than that year's Summer Games in Berlin. * [[Grenoble]] – hosted in 1968. * [[Innsbruck]] – hosted in 1964 and 1976, the latter time on short notice after voters in [[Denver]] turned down hosting duties. * [[Lake Placid]] – hosted in 1932 and 1980. The 1980 Games used much of the 1932 infrastructure. Most of the venues still exist; the most notable exception is that the 1980 luge track was demolished and replaced with a new track for all sliding sports (bobsled, luge, skeleton). The site of the 1980 "Miracle on Ice", in which the US men's hockey team made up entirely of college players defeated the heavily favored Soviets, has since been renamed after the 1980 team's head coach Herb Brooks. * [[Lillehammer]] – hosted in 1994. * [[Milan]] – scheduled to co-host in 2026 alongside Cortina. * [[Nagano]] – hosted in 1998. * [[Oslo]] – hosted in 1952. * [[Pyeongchang]] – hosted in 2018. * [[Salt Lake City]] – hosted in 2002, with almost all of the Olympic infrastructure (much of which is in outlying areas) still present. The area's current light rail system was started as transportation for the Games. * [[Sapporo]] – hosted the first Winter Games in Asia in 1972. It had been named as the 1940 host, but World War II scuttled that plan. * [[Sarajevo]] – hosted in 1984. Most of the infrastructure was damaged or destroyed during the Bosnian War of the 1990s. The city's main indoor arena was built on the foundation of the 1984 indoor arena that had been destroyed in the war. * [[Sochi]] - hosted in 2014; the most expensive games to date. * [[Squaw Valley]] – hosted in 1960. The town wasn't even incorporated at the time the games were awarded and there was barely any infrastructure there. The traditional "handing over" of hosting duties at the end of the 1956 Winter Olympics had a member of the American NOC stand in for the not-yet-existent position of "Mayor of Squaw Valley". Only winter games without bobsled events as building the required track was deemed too expensive in light of only 9 nations expressing interest in competing. * [[St. Moritz]] – hosted in 1928 and 1948. * [[Turin]] – hosted in 2006. * [[Vancouver]] – hosted in 2010. Almost all of the infrastructure, both in Vancouver and in the [[Whistler]] resort area, still stands. However, the main stadium, BC Place, which had an air-supported roof in 2010, now has a cable-supported retractable roof. ==Getting tickets== Accessibility of tickets varies greatly. Opening and closing ceremonies are very desired, as are finals and medal ceremonies, while tickets to minor events can in some cases be obtained at entrance. The ability to acquire tickets also depends on the host: while tickets for handball events were easy to get in Rio, they'll likely be much more in demand in Paris. While in the past each country had a designated ticket reseller, '''from Paris onwards tickets can only be bought through the official reseller [https://onlocationexp.com/olympics On Location].''' Tickets first go on sale 10–12 months before the respective Olympic and Paralympic Games. You should be prepared to purchase within a day or two of tickets going on sale, as popular events sell out quickly. The reseller may release additional tickets later, or may use waitlists. (If you're in the host country, things will probably be more complicated. The host country is usually allocated more tickets, but also sees substantially higher demand. You can expect they'll have staggered releases of tickets over many months right up until the games start, and there may be long waitlists or large lotteries. Rules for permanent residents may be different.) In the months leading up to sales opening, a '''ticket guide''' will be published which shows the complete schedule of which specific competitions and medal ceremonies take place during each session. Tickets are for a specific '''session''', meaning a particular day, time, and place. Some sports have 2 or 3 sessions per venue per day (such as morning and afternoon athletics sessions), while others have just a single session that spans the whole day. Each session has specific '''events''' being held; while a single football match might take up a whole session, usually there are multiple events at each session (such as various track races and field events) as well as medal ceremonies as the days go by. Typically there is '''no reentry''', so plan your schedule accordingly. The unfortunate part for some sports is that '''competitors are not known in advance''', as there will be months of qualifying rounds before a tournament bracket can be seeded. Thus, you'll only be able to purchase a [[Association football|football]] ticket to "men's first round", for example, and won't know who you'll be watching until a few weeks before the session. {{infobox|Example: Tokyo 2020|To give you an idea of the prices for various sessions, here's what was available for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. (Prices have been ''roughly'' converted to U.S. dollars.) The Opening Ceremony is by far the session with the most demand, so it commands the highest prices. The seating zones and prices were: * A – $3,000 (lower midfield) * B – $2,420 (lower ends) * C – $1,070 (upper midfield) * D – $450 (upper corners) * E – $120 (upper ends) * Group ticket – $20.20 (These were a special option only for Japanese residents, to fill the lower levels of a few large sessions with families, children, and those with disabilities) Of the 5 levels of general tickets, the United States' reseller only got tickets to A, B, and C. The Closing Ceremony was similar, with 5 zones priced from $2,220 to $120. Tickets to sporting sessions are generally ''much'' cheaper, and significantly easier to get successfully. While some popular sessions like athletics and swimming have tickets for as much as $1,300, the cheapest tickets—even at popular sessions—were as little as $40-60. Less popular sessions with just one or two zones had tickets for as little as $25, with even the most expensive tickets at perhaps half of all sessions being around $50-100. Prices generally increase from preliminary rounds to finals and at sessions with medal ceremonies, up to about twice the price of the cheapest sessions in that sport, although some like sailing increase little or not at all. Seeing a medal ceremony for $30-50 is possible for perhaps half the sports, and for $50-100 you can get a ticket to almost any session, provided it's available. (The most expensive cheap ticket to a sporting session that year? Not athletics, aquatics, or gymnastics. Not baseball, either, as you might have guessed for Japan. It was the men's basketball gold medal game, at $188.) Tickets to the 2020 Paralympic Games were similar, with typical prices around 25-50% lower, and substantially lower demand. Opening Ceremony tickets ran $80-1,500. The cheapest sessions were just $9-20, and even the priciest cheap ticket was only $32. Among all tickets, only a few popular sessions had tickets for $50 or more, and none were more than $70 (for swimming and wheelchair basketball).}} The ticket guide will also explain the '''seating zones''' in the venue and the '''prices''' for each zone. The opening and closing ceremonies may be divided into 5 zones, other popular sessions like athletics and swimming into 2 to 3 zones, and some small venues will only have a single zone. '''You cannot choose individual seats, only zones'''; your seats will be assigned somewhere within your zone at a later date (except for general admission sessions), so if you want to sit together, you must purchase the tickets in one transaction. Prior to sale, each country's reseller will have requested a number of tickets in various zones based on their forecasted demand. Tickets are then allocated among all countries based on their requests as well as a number of other factors. You can expect, for instance, that rich countries like the U.S. will not receive any of the cheapest tickets to the opening ceremonies, as these will be allocated to poorer countries as well as reserved for the host country. Each ticket must be assigned to a person who must show '''matching ID''' to enter the venue, but you ''don't'' have to do this when purchasing. The name is entered later, and you can change it up until the day before the session. Beginning a few months before the Games, an official '''resale service''' is available to buy/sell unused tickets. Tickets on this service are at exactly their original price, and the seller pays a handling charge when their ticket is sold. ==Do== ==Talk== The official languages of the Olympics, Paralympics, and the IOC are '''[[English language varieties|English]]''' and '''[[French phrasebook|French]]'''. To some extent, ceremonies are conducted in both languages as well as a primary '''language of the host country'''. Realistically, English is the most widely used language, with much information, signage, and announcements only in English (as well as the host country's language, if different). '''Sign language is not standardized''', and may use the host nation's most common sign language, a sign language lingua franca, or International Sign (which is really just a pidgin form of communication rather than a full language). ==Sleep== Availability of [[travel accommodation]] has varied a lot between games.

These typically only feature countries in specific regions, or in specific international groupings, and often feature non-Olympic sports that are popular among the participating nations. *The '''[https://www.deaflympics.com/ Deaflympics]''' is an IOC-sanctioned event for athletes with hearing impairments. Although the sports are largely the same as the Olympics, modifications are made to not rely on sounds such as starter's guns, spoken commands or referee whistles. *The '''[https://www.specialolympics.org/ Special Olympics]''' are IOC-sanctioned events for children and adults with intellectual disabilities and physical disabilities. *The '''[http://www.theworldgames.org World Games]''', for sports, or disciplines within a sport, that are not contested in the Olympics. Held in the year after the Summer Olympics. The next World Games will be hosted by [[Chengdu]], China in 2025. *The '''[http://www.ocasia.org Asian Games]''' among the countries of [[Asia]]; the second largest multi-sports games after the Summer Olympics. Features some sports that are popular in Asia but not contested at the Olympics such as wushu (Chinese martial arts), kabbadi and dragon boat racing, as well as some globally-popular non-Olympic sports such as tenpin bowling and squash. Held in the same year as the Winter Olympics. The next edition will be in [[Hangzhou]], China in 2022. *The '''Winter Asian Games''', operated by the same body but featuring only winter sports. Normally held in the year before the Winter Olympics, but COVID-19 led to the cancellation of the planned 2021 edition, with no future games scheduled for the time being. *The '''[https://thecgf.com/ Commonwealth Games]''' among the countries of the [[British Empire#Commonwealth countries|Commonwealth of Nations]]; the fourth-largest multi-sports games. Unlike other multi-sport events, para-sports events are held as part of the main games with the able-bodied sports events. Features some non-Olympic sports that are popular in the Commonwealth such as lawn bowls, squash and netball. Held in the same years as the Winter Olympics. The 2022 games in [[Birmingham (England)|Birmingham, England]] are nearing completion. The next games in 2026 will be hosted by the Australian state of [[Victoria (state)|Victoria]], but will not have a designated host city. While the opening ceremony will be in [[Melbourne]], that city will not host any events, with events instead held in regional hubs of [[Ballarat]], [[Bendigo]], [[Geelong]], and the [[Gippsland]] region. *The '''[http://www.panamsports.org/ Pan American Games]''' among the countries of The Americas. Held in the year before the Summer Olympics. The next edition will be in 2023 in [[Santiago de Chile|Santiago]], [[Chile]]. *The '''[http://www.european-games.org/ European Games]''' among [[Europe]]an countries. The newest continental-level multi-sport event, with its first edition in 2015. Also in the year before the Summer Olympics. The next edition will be in 2023 in [[Kraków]], [[Poland]]. *'''[https://www.jeux.francophonie.org/ Jeux de la Francophonie]''' among the countries of La Francophonie. The Canadian provinces of [[Quebec]] and [[New Brunswick]] send separate teams from the Canadian team, and the Belgian team is restricted to sending Francophone athletes. Held in the year after the Summer Olympics. The next edition is scheduled in 2022 in [[Kinshasa]], DR Congo. *'''[http://www.gaygames.org/ Gay Games]''', mostly for LGBT athletes though open to all. Held in the same year as the Winter Olympics. The next edition is scheduled in 2022 in [[Hong Kong]]. *The '''African Games''' among the countries of [[Africa]]. Held in the year before the Summer Olympics. The next edition will be in 2023 in [[Accra]], Ghana. *The '''[http://www.acolop.org/ Lusofonia Games]''' among the world's Portuguese-speaking countries. The planned 2021 edition in [[Luanda]], Angola was a COVID-19 casualty, with no further edition yet announced. *The '''[https://maccabiah.org/ Maccabiah Games] {{dead link|December 2020}}''' for Jewish athletes throughout the world, plus Israelis regardless of ethnicity or religion; the third-largest multi-sports event by number of competitors after the Summer Olympics and Asian Games. Always held in Israel; as with many other multi-sport events, the planned 2021 edition was a COVID-19 casualty, with no future edition yet announced. *The '''[http://websites.sportstg.com/assoc_page.cgi?c=2-2642-0-0-0&sID=24021 Pacific Games]''' among the countries of [[Oceania]] except Australia and New Zealand. Held in the year before the Summer Olympics. The next edition will be in 2023 in [[Honiara]], Solomon Islands. *The '''[http://www.seagfoffice.org/ Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games)] {{dead link|December 2020}}''', held every two years in odd-numbered years, among the countries of [[Southeast Asia]]. Features some sports that are only popular in Southeast Asia such as sepak takraw and silat. The next edition will be held in [[Hanoi]], [[Vietnam]] in 2022. *The '''Central American Games''', held in the year after the summer Olympics only involving [[Central America]]. *The '''[https://inside.fei.org/fei/games/cont-reg-games/central-american-caribbean Central America and Caribbean Games]''' - held in the year of winter Olympics dating to the 1920s; the second oldest international multi-sport games. {{PartOfTopic|Spectator sports}} {{outlinetopic}} lh3nvd00s2yizcvoo67r9v862s5orly 3 132590 4495998 4492001 2022-08-06T08:42:53Z SHB2000 2248002 /* Regarding Special:Diff/4495642 */ new section wikitext text/x-wiki Hello, everybody!

[[User:Ikan Kekek|Ikan Kekek]] ([[User talk:Ikan Kekek|talk]]) 14:00, 17 June 2022 (UTC) == Malay pronunciation == I wonder if this might be a difference between the Singapore dialect and the Terengganu dialect, but at least the way I've pronounce the t, p and k in Malay has always been unaspirated. In other words, closer to the Italian pronunciation than the English pronunciation. Although of course, unlike Chinese, Malay doesn't make that distinction between aspirated and tenuis, so you'll be understood if you pronounce them the English way. [[User:The dog2|The dog2]] ([[User talk:The dog2|talk]]) 14:29, 16 March 2022 (UTC) :I don't know only Terengganu dialect. Remember, I went to Sekolah Kebangsaan for 2 years, and I also spent time in K.L. The point of unaspirated consonants is that you make the shape of them at the end of a syllable without any other sound. How are you pronouncing a word like "peduli" without any aspiration? You can't, because there would be no sound. [[User:Ikan Kekek|Ikan Kekek]] ([[User talk:Ikan Kekek|talk]]) 16:37, 16 March 2022 (UTC) ::OK, I guess it's a matter of relative aspiration then. But as an example from Chinese, the "b" in Beijing is not the same as the English b, because unlike in English, it is not voiced, so it will sound like a "p" to English speakers. That is how I usually pronounce the "p" in Malay. If you speak Italian, you'll probably notice how Italians say their p's without that strong puff of air that English speakers have. In the case of Malay, it's not an important distinction, but some Chinese dialects (Hokkien/Minnan and Teochew are examples) do make that 3-way distinction between voiced, tenuis and aspirated. [[User:The dog2|The dog2]] ([[User talk:The dog2|talk]]) 17:05, 16 March 2022 (UTC) :::I speak Italian, too. I will stipulate that my aspiration in "sepuluh" is not as strong as it is in "pull," but it's certainly not the same as unaspirated Ps at the ends of Malay words. [[User:Ikan Kekek|Ikan Kekek]] ([[User talk:Ikan Kekek|talk]]) 17:07, 16 March 2022 (UTC) == Line-ups == Re: "I don't know which dialect of English uses "line-ups" for something other than groups in which one may be a criminal." That would be us to your north. We have line-ups at Tim Hortons, for poutine, and to get beer at the curling club, but that shouldn't be in an article on Jordan. I am surprised that "line-ups" makes you think of police situations only. [[User:Ground Zero|Ground Zero]] ([[User talk:Ground Zero|talk]]) 07:57, 17 March 2022 (UTC) :Interesting. Maybe there are parts of the U.S. where lines are called lineups, too, but in New York, I think those are only situations in which an alleged witness looks at a group of possible suspects through a one-way glass and is asked to identify the alleged perpetrator. [[User:Ikan Kekek|Ikan Kekek]] ([[User talk:Ikan Kekek|talk]]) 08:03, 17 March 2022 (UTC) == Image density == I wonder, do you find the amount of images in [[Turku riverside walk]] suitable? For me there is one or two images per screenful (except the first), and I think the layout works well. The first screenful has the pagebanner and three images in Understand, which is plenty, but I wanted to show the character of different sections up front. As you were critical to the amount of images in [[Finnish national parks]], I'd like you to have a look, if you have the time. Do you find the amount excessive? I don't think I am going to remove any from this itinerary now, but it'd be good to know what I should aim for in other articles. –[[User:LPfi|LPfi]] ([[User talk:LPfi|talk]]) 19:14, 21 March 2022 (UTC) :Thanks for asking. [[Turku riverside walk]] looks very good; the only possible improvement I can see is maybe to add an image to "Get in." I'll have a look at the other article later. [[User:Ikan Kekek|Ikan Kekek]] ([[User talk:Ikan Kekek|talk]]) 20:40, 21 March 2022 (UTC) :: Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback. I added an image. –[[User:LPfi|LPfi]] ([[User talk:LPfi|talk]]) 14:39, 22 March 2022 (UTC) == Image density II == Hi Ikan, just wondering as you said that the images in [[Tasmanian national parks]] violate the image policy, are there any suggestions that you have as to which images should be removed? The article is 44.2k bytes and 34 images, and so per 1 image per 1000-2000 bytes, theoretically you could have all of them if you were to follow the bare minimum at 1 per 1000 bytes, but I'd like you to have a look when you get the time to, because I am not sure which ones to remove because they each portray a meaning and removing them would mean that some meaning may be lost. At the same time, the article should not be violating the image policy, so I agree that some of them should be removed, but this is not a high priority so take your own time. --<span style="font-family:BlinkMacSystemFont">[[User:SHB2000|SHB2000]] <small>([[User talk:SHB2000|talk]] &#124; [[Special:Contributions/SHB2000|contribs]] &#124; [[m:User:SHB2000|meta.wikimedia]])</small></span> 09:34, 22 March 2022 (UTC) :Hi, and thanks for the question. However, part of the problem in that article is the cells given to national parks, such that there's a lot of blank space to make a photo of every one fit in the cell, so I don't see any way to discuss images as long as that setup remains. [[User:Ikan Kekek|Ikan Kekek]] ([[User talk:Ikan Kekek|talk]]) 13:48, 22 March 2022 (UTC) ::Oh well.

[[User:Ikan Kekek|Ikan Kekek]] ([[User talk:Ikan Kekek|talk]]) 10:03, 27 March 2022 (UTC) == Reasons for Poutine change == Hi there I wanted to properly explain the reason why I did those changes. You see, it's about cultural credit and a history of the dish being plagiarized by anglo-canadians (despite opposition to cultural appropriation being prevalent in their society) and them getting all the credit and glory for its creation, resulting in it being associated internationally with the english-speaking nation that led to Canada as we know it instead of the nation of quebec, despite the former having nothing to do with its creation. It's also about a possible double-standard, as I'm certain the national dish of Scotland would be presented here as Scottish dish (and not as an english/british dish) and a national dish of the Sapmis as a Sapmi dish (and not a Norwegian or Finnish one) out of respect and simple accuracy for viewers wishing to get an idea and not getting confused between two largely different cultures. But probably the most important reason is to prevent confusion to viewers on wikivoyage, as said earlier. When you see "Canadian culture" and "Québécois culture", you rightfully expect different things, different travel experiences. So when you want a Québécois dish or an (anglo) Canadian dish (whatever that even exists), you shouldn't be confused as to what is what, that's the goal of this wiki : to make travel planning (or travel window shopping) an ease based on what you want to experience. Also, the rest of the page presented it as quebecois, so it's about consistency. If it's the "where it originated from" sentence pose a problem, let's remove it to avoid redundancy, the "Quebecois dish" in the first sentence already saying it out loud. It's simple innocent respect and accuracy, that's all. Have a wonderful day --[[Special:Contributions/166.62.226.25|166.62.226.25]] 16:14, 30 March 2022 (UTC) :It was clear what your motivation was, and I even have some sympathy with it, to a point (as I'm not sure what you really intend by emphasizing Quebec as a "nation"), but I don't agree with your conclusions. Canada is not an English-speaking country; it's a bilingual country. Anyway, I think none of this is travel-related. I suggest you make your argument on the talk page of the fast food article. [[User:Ikan Kekek|Ikan Kekek]] ([[User talk:Ikan Kekek|talk]]) 17:21, 30 March 2022 (UTC) On the contrary, it is quite travel-related, read again my second paragraph. Not doing these changes is misleading those who wishes a québécois experience. And not acknowledging the double-standard is just showing how all of this is unfair and not respecting the consistency in logic this wiki demand across all its pages. Since you insisted on expressing your point of view regarding non-travel stuff, I'll express mine for fairness. On paper it is bilingual, in reality, behind the shinny happy facade, it is not and those that speak french like Québécois get the short end of the stick in front of quebec-bashing and rampant anti-french language sentiments, personal experience here (really personal, that's why I'm, to be frank, a bit offended right now by what I perceive to be denial of the existence of these things). The "Canadian identity" (whatever that is, considering what Canada brags about being its distinct national identity was 90% stolen from Quebecois culture, from lumberjacks, to maple leafs as a symbol, to national anthems, to nearly all maple syrup production, to traditional clothes, to modern ice hockey, to cinema, to architectural styles...to poutine and even the term "canadian" itself ; canadiana is in reality québecaia, a big imperialist steal with an english crown on top of it) was politically and socially built and managed by english Canada, not Quebec (so much that there's a term for it, the RoC or "'''R'''est '''o'''f '''C'''anada" to design what's not Quebec as a socio-political block or "two solitudes" as it is funnily known in the RoC), so THAT's why I said it being the anglocanadian "nation" which led to modern Canada as it is perceived at home and outside : it's a simple historical fact, nothing political in it, bilingualism wasn't even official until the late 60s and the constitution itself is to this day legally valid in english only. Nation and country are two different things : there are countries with multiple recognized nations, like the UK, Ethiopia, Russia and Canada. Wikivoyage respectfully acknowledged the existence of these nations as equals to those that got their nation-state by allowing their adjectives to be used in priority, why not Quebec? What I was intending by emphazing Quebec was the due right to existence under its own name, something the whole world can't seem to do by canadawashing the identity of great Quebecois figures, sites and overall culture (Wikipédia being also one main exemple, in french or in english). Respect, is that too much to ask? Finally, yeah, good idea, I'll go make a point on the talk page. Thank you for the idea and for the sympathy. --[[Special:Contributions/166.62.226.25|166.62.226.25]] 19:26, 30 March 2022 (UTC) :Sure thing; we'll have a discussion there. I would have to think First Nations peoples would have something to say about what was stolen from whom, but besides, the idea that almost everything in Canada is stolen from the Quebecois is a little strange to a fan of Cape Breton fiddling, and I think people in British Columbia would find that kind of claim puzzling. Don't get me wrong; I speak pretty good French when in practice (though from time spent in France) and have visited Quebec City and Montreal and love them (and if I had to go into exile, I'd love the opportunity to live in Montreal if it presented itself to me, though I doubt it would), so I have no dog in this fight but have to wonder whether bending in one direction or the other is really [[Wikivoyage:Be fair|being fair]]. [[User:Ikan Kekek|Ikan Kekek]] ([[User talk:Ikan Kekek|talk]]) 19:40, 30 March 2022 (UTC) ::As fair as undoing centuries of oppression and attempts at eradicating our very identity as a distinct people "without culture or without history" to quote someone important whose vision would become the blueprint for modern canada in that regard. Canada as we now know it was not just built under the oppression of our Indigenous historic brothers, but ourselves and anyone that speaks french too. I appreciate your appreciation of Quebec and french but that's your personal experience and, sadly, you're in the minority. Trust me, I've seen seen or heard so many crappy things, including directly at me, that it made me an advocate for Quebec independence when I was beforehand a hardcore oh Canada federalist just a few years earlier, being able to make someone turn 180 degrees like that need some serious stuff. ::I say "Stolen" because it isn't usual cultural fusion as equals, the same kind that created all national cultures in Europe and Asia (as was the case of the québécois culture that was '''born''' out of one of those willing fusions; the franco-indigenous alliance, where economy, rather positive views outside the Iroquois, war comradry and proximity of the "habitants", those non-nobles that were born or attached to Quebec rather than France during New France, to the Indigenous people influenced a lot the culture and minds of the future québécois away from France to the anger of the shocked catholic church) but plagiarism (having one culture taking credit for something they took from another culture, aka stealing, to the point people buy it and say "canadian" when talking about things Québec). Québécois culture proudly point out the indigenous origins of the elements that were integrated into it like raquettes, kayaks, mocassins or maple syrup (notice I said majority of the CURRENT PRODUCTION of maple syrup, not maple syrup by itself in my previous comment), no one here think otherwise, no plagiarism, proper credit gets where it should. It's not to say either that the european settlers didn't create original things of their own, just that no culture is born out of a vaccuum and cultural fusion and sharing should be celebrated as they create new nations, just like in Europe or Asia. And it's not like your country doesn't have potential for a great unified national culture (like with that Cape Breton fiddling, best island ever btw), you just don't try it, instead its advertised and internationally recognized as as such: Toronto (aka New York lite), Queen, mooses and beavers, less and less brands, stereotypes (the lumberjack and ''modern'' ice hockey one being stolen, correct word, from Quebecois culture), US carbon copy stuff plus indigenous stuff. Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton Island and Newfoundland are close to Québec in terms of having nationalistic distinct things from anyone else (just being a hub for outside cultures doesn't count as "distinct"). ::My problem is that what is québécois culture is not recognized as such internationally but under the annoying and uncalled for label "canadian" or the exonym "french-canadian", allowing the english canada that identify as such ("canadian") to take all credit and glory for itself saying it did it, aka plagiarism, it would be like Americans saying they invented pizza and everyone buying it, reffering to it as an "american" dish. Why do you have such a problem allowing '''ONE''' word to be changed to respect the existence of a people without voice? I guess its a thing only someone from a minority (Québécois are a minority) could understand. Anyway, can we move on fresh to the talk page? Each answer drain me away from actually starting it. --[[Special:Contributions/166.62.226.25|166.62.226.25]] 22:23, 30 March 2022 (UTC) :::See what other people think. I do sympathize with you, to a point (as an American, I want Canada to remain strong and a single country, because with all your imperfections, you are a good example for us in so many ways, but of course I feel you on your points about derogation and discrimination), but I really question how much of this is travel-related. I also think pizza wouldn't be a good analogy, because it comes from Italy, but we do very much talk about New York pizza, Chicago deep-dish pizza, etc., etc. I think better analogies would be all the regional foods in the U.S. that are best in their areas of origin but enjoyed throughout the country, such as barbecue. Also, think about this: how many Americans think French fries are really American, although they originate from Belgium? In effect, though, the way we eat them here, without mayonnaise but usually with ketchup, is non-Belgian.

But everytime I've ordered fried spring rolls, they are always wrapped in wheat flour sheets like the type used for Chinese spring rolls, and not rice paper.

Interesting that the Vietnamese deep fried spring rolls in New York are authentic then, because the ones in Chicago are as I described, using a Chinese-style wrapping instead, unless I go to a more expensive restaurant. Unfortunately, I didn't have spring rolls in California, but in the ones I had in Australia were authentic too. For the non-fried spring rolls, I've also noticed that in Australia, you have to roll them yourself, and they give you the rice paper, hot water and filling separately, while in Chicago, they're usually served to you already rolled.

So they had already been heavily bombed by Ukrainian forces previously before the Russian invasion. An I have in fact seen videos of ethnic Russians from Mariupol cursing the Ukrainian military for using them as human shields. So I won't be surprised if in Mariupol, the ethnic Russians are loyal to Russia and the ethnic Ukrainians are loyal to Ukraine. And there was also a massacre of ethnic Russians by the Ukrainian military in a theatre in Odessa because those ethnic Russians were opposed to the Euromaidan Revolution, so I won't be surprised if the ethnic Russians in Odessa support Putin. And as you know, the post-Euromaidan Ukrainian government removed Russian as an official language, and that really pissed off the ethnic Russians in Ukraine. I've heard that the armed forces of the separatist regions in Eastern Ukraine are ethnic Russians who were in the Ukrainian military who defected after Euromaidan. As for Zelensky, isn't his first language Ukrainian? The name "Volodymyr" is a very Ukrainian name; the Russian equivalent would be "Vladimir".

I just tried to make a page for the public campground I'm staying at. It seemed like it was in line with "be bold" and helping people figure things out about places they might want to go. But then someone deleted it and all it said was something like "campground fail" but I didn't see anything in whatever pages I read about how to be a wikivoyage editor. So I tried asking on that user's talk page where I could find the relevant guideline and a bot wouldn't let me ask the question. I've bumped into this on Wikipedia as well in the past. I know media wikis are supposed to be friendly but I have experienced a really really high barrier to entry. I consider myself a good community member who, y'know, plays well with others and is an active and contibuting member of society. I really appreciated your constructive explanation when you deleted my contribution. So I have a few requests, if you're willing: 1. I was wondering if you could pass a message along to the person that deleted the Sweetwater Summit Campground page that it would be more useful to explain what's going on than to just throw away my efforts with two cryptic words? If you think it could help others in the future. 2. Any chance you know what "campground fail" means? Maybe there's a page with a guideline somewhere I could read? 3.

And even when I went to Acadiana, I did not hear the Cajun accent in downtown Lafayette; the people there just spoke with a general American accent.

For instance, I have noticed that Malaysian drivers tend not to use their signals when changing lanes. And I also noticed that while there is a good expressway network along the West Coast if you want to drive from Singapore up to Penang, the East Coast doesn't have that. I've only made it as far up the East Coast as Mersing, but the road there is just a regular country road, so it would probably take a while to make up up to Kuantan, Kuala Terengganu or Kota Bharu if you are starting from Singapore.

The major conflicts with global impact were the '''First Indochina War''' from 1946 to 1954 in which an independence movement supported by the [[Soviet Union]] and the People's Republic of [[China]] defeated [[France|French]] colonial forces, and the '''Vietnam War''' or '''American War''' in 1955-1975, in which North Vietnam (supported by the Soviet Union and China) defeated and annexed South Vietnam, which was supported by the [[United States]] and some of their allies. There were other smaller parallel and later conflicts, within the region. The wars in Indochina were extremely destructive, and the effects of which can still be felt today. As a comparison, in terms of tonnage, more bombs were dropped by the Americans on Southeast Asia during the course of the Indochina Wars, than the total amount of bombs dropped by all sides in all theatres of World War II combined. Landmines were also used extensively in the wars, the result being that to this day, locals continue to be killed or maimed by exploding landmines and bombs on a regular basis in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and to a lesser extent, Thailand. ==Understand== {{quote|The horror... The horror...|author=''Apocalypse Now''}} The Indochina Wars began as wars for '''independence''' from [[French colonial empire|French colonial rule]]. They became part of the '''[[Cold War]]''', which pitted the Western allies of the [[United States]] against the Soviet Union and China. They were also '''ideological''' conflicts between communism and capitalism. The communist camp was split into a pro-Soviet and a pro-Chinese faction in 1961, culminating in a war between the former "brother" nations in 1969. === Background and First (French) Indochina War (1946–54) === [[File:French_Indochina_c._1930.jpg|thumb|French Indochina in the 1930s]] In the late 19th century, [[French Colonial Empire|France]] replaced [[Imperial China]] and [[Thailand|Siam]] as the colonial power in the region that is today [[Vietnam]], [[Laos]] and [[Cambodia]]. Japan occupied the entire region during [[Pacific War|World War II]]. When the Japanese were defeated, the French aimed to regain their colonies, but their allies, especially the U.S., were opposed. Laos and Cambodia gained their independence, but their governments soon faced revolts by local communists backed by Moscow and/or Beijing. In Vietnam, things became much more complex. The Allies agreed that the Nationalist Chinese would administer the north of the country and the British the south until a Vietnamese government could be set up. Both countries had other problems &mdash; a civil war in China and a major Communist insurgency in [[Malaya]] &mdash; so neither did a good job in Vietnam. The Soviet Union-backed Việt Minh, a Communist-dominated anti-colonial coalition, declared independence in the north, while the French regained control in the south. By 1947, the two were at war and after 1949, the Chinese Communist government gave the Việt Minh considerable support. The U.S. supported France, but President Dwight Eisenhower refused to send American troops. After the French suffered a humiliating defeat in the bloody Battle of [[Dien Bien Phu]], the 1954 Geneva Accords ended that war. === (American) Vietnam War (1955–75) === {{quote|I have never talked or corresponded with a person knowledgeable in Indochinese affairs who did not agree that had elections been held as of the time of the fighting, possibly 80 per cent of the population would have voted for the Communist Ho Chi Minh as their leader rather than Chief of State Bao Dai.|author=U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower}} The Geneva Accords again divided Vietnam, with the Việt Minh led by Ho Chi Minh controlling the north and the French the south, and provided for elections in 1956 to create a government for the whole country. The French turned power over to a United States-backed capitalist regime led by Ngo Dinh Diem in the south, but Diem refused to hold the elections, resulting in another war. Diem, who was a Roman Catholic, enacted discriminatory laws against the Buddhist majority, making him very unpopular among the citizenry of South Vietnam. Although the accords specified that the military demarcation line was provisional and not a political boundary, the United States recognized South Vietnam as an independent country, and provided military and financial support. The pro-communist National Liberation Front of South Vietnam, colloquially known as ''Viet Cong'' (VC or "Charlie" in US military slang), did not recognize the Diem administration, which they viewed as an American puppet regime. Aided by the North Vietnamese People's Army, they fought for a re-unification of Vietnam under communist leadership and against the U.S. presence. At first, the United States only provided arms and military advisors to South Vietnam; but after the 1963 "Gulf of Tonkin incident", President Lyndon B. Johnson sent thousands of American "boots on the ground". In the course of the war, more than 2.7 million U.S. soldiers fought in Vietnam. Despite the American forces' use of attack helicopters, napalm and "Agent Orange" defoliant, they were not able to rout the Viet Cong, who used guerilla tactics and benefited from their acquaintance with the rough terrain and support from parts of the civilian population. Both sides committed horrendous war crimes, most notably the Huế Massacre during the Tet Offensive, and the My Lai Massacre in 1968. Following World War II, [[Thailand]] became a U.S. ally and an important forward base for U.S. operations in the Vietnam War. The [[Philippines]] also had important bases for the U.S. war effort, notably a naval base at [[Subic]] and [[Angeles#By plane|Clark Air Base]]. Other regional U.S. partners included [[Australia]], [[Japan]], [[Malaysia]], [[Singapore]], [[South Korea]], [[Taiwan]] and the then-[[United Kingdom|British]] colony of [[Hong Kong]]. These areas also became officially-approved destinations for the R&R of American soldiers fighting in the war, thus boosting their tourism industries, though with the exception of Australia, also led to the growth of sex and vice tourism in those areas, especially in Thailand. United by their fear of communism, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was formed as a ''de facto'' anti-communist grouping by [[Indonesia]], [[Thailand]], [[Malaysia]], the [[Philippines]] and [[Singapore]] in 1967. The Americans pulled their forces from South Vietnam in 1973 amid mounting losses and domestic pressures to end the war. The Vietnam War eventually ended with the Fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975, when a North Vietnamese tank drove into South Vietnam's Presidential Palace. China fought a brief war with South Vietnam in 1974, gaining control of the [[Paracel Islands]], which remain disputed between China, Taiwan and Vietnam. === Laotian Civil War === Happening concurrently with the Vietnam War was the Laotian Civil War (1959-1975), which pitted the French-aligned royal family, backed by the United States, Thailand and South Vietnam, against the communist ''Pathet Lao'', backed by North Vietnam and the Soviet Union. Following the Fall of Saigon, and the consequent loss of South Vietnamese support for the royalists, the Pathet Lao won the civil war. === Spillover to Laos and Cambodia === The Vietnam War had significant spillover into [[Laos]] and [[Cambodia]], first through the "Ho Chi Minh trail" that was used by North Vietnamese smugglers to supply South Vietnamese communist forces and later when U.S. President Richard Nixon decided to bomb those countries that had been officially neutral up to that point. === "Third Indochina War" === [[File:Skulls from the killing fields.jpg|thumb|Skulls from the Khmer Rouge killing fields]] The horror, however, was not over yet. After the communist victory, many of the ethnic Chinese and business-owning upper and middle class Vietnamese in the South were targeted for purges. This sparked off a massive refugee crisis as many Southerners, known as the "boat people", attempted to flee the country, with countless refugees perishing at sea. Most of the survivors were settled in the United States, Australia and Canada, thus establishing the Vietnamese communities in those countries. Likewise, the Hmong people of Laos came under general suspicion by the victorious communists of being pro-American collaborators, leading to a mass exodus of that ethnic group to Thailand, the U.S. and other Western countries. In the course of the war and chaos, Cambodia was taken over by the "Khmer Rouge", as they came to be known in the West, under Pol Pot. Driven by a particularly extremist interpretation of communist doctrine combined with Khmer ethnic nationalism, they overthrew the U.S.-backed regime in 1975, and perpetrated one of the most horrific genocides in history, killing roughly a quarter of the Cambodian population. Large numbers of middle and upper class Cambodians attempted to flee by sea while many others fled over the borders with Thailand and Vietnam, thus worsening the already bad refugee crisis brought on by the Fall of Saigon. The West supported the regime despite its professed communism (being pro-China and anti-Soviet, they were seen as the lesser evil in the cynical logic of the Cold War). It was the Vietnamese army that intervened in 1978/79, stopped the genocide and toppled the Khmer Rouge regime. In retaliation, China invaded Vietnam in 1979, but withdrew shortly after. The Sino-Vietnamese war led to an intensification of the purges of Vietnam's ethnic Chinese, with virtually the entire ethnic Chinese population in northern Vietnam expelled to China. A significant ethnic Chinese community remains in southern Vietnam, albeit in much smaller numbers than prior to the Fall of Saigon. Vietnamese forces only withdrew from Cambodia under pressure from ASEAN in 1989, which was followed by a normalisation of Sino-Vietnamese ties in 1991, and the final demarcation of the China-Vietnam land border being completed in 2008. In Cambodia, stability was restored in 1993 with the restoration of the monarchy, albeit as a constitutional monarchy, and the successful conduct of elections under the oversight of the United Nations. ===Legacy=== Following the end of the Cold War, all three countries that made up the former French Indochina were admitted into ASEAN. Vietnam and the U.S. have cordial relations today. There is considerable tourism by foreign veterans returning to visit the countries where they served or that they visited for R&R. Some even [[retiring abroad|retire]] there; Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia all have substantial contingents of retirees including some veterans. The region is also a popular backpacker destination; see [[Banana Pancake Trail]]. Relations between all countries in the region are now peaceful, and the route from [[Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City overland]] is popular among Western backpackers. ==Destinations== {{Mapframe|16|105|zoom=5|layer=W|height=400|width=300}} === Australia === * {{listing | type=see | name=Australian War Memorial | url=https://www.awm.gov.au/ | address=[[Canberra]] | lat= | long= | wikipedia= | wikidata=Q782783 | lastedit= | content=Australia's main military history museum, with exhibits dedicated to the Vietnam War. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=National Vietnam Veterans Museum| url=https://www.vietnamvetsmuseum.org/ | address=[[Phillip Island]] | lat= | long= | wikipedia= | wikidata=Q27628411 | lastedit= | content=Museum dedicated to the experience of the Australian Vietnam War veterans. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=[[Canberra#North Canberra|Vietnam Forces National Memorial]] | address=Canberra | lat= | long= | wikipedia= | wikidata=Q3333167 | lastedit= | content=Memorial dedicated to the Australian soldiers who fought in the Vietnam War }} === North Vietnam === * {{listing|type=city | name=[[Dien Bien Phu]] | wikidata=Q36027 | content=Provincial town in the mountainous far northwest of the country.

Accordingly, the island was home to numerous U.S. military bases that were used as staging points during the Vietnam War, and was also an approved destination for American soldiers on their R&R leaves. These military bases were abandoned, and all U.S. forces were withdrawn following the switch of diplomatic recognition to the PRC in 1979. Taiwan's status as an official U.S. ally was reinstated in 2003, though it would not be until 2020 that the U.S. would once again establish a permanent military presence in Taiwan. * {{listing | type=district | name=[[Taipei/Beitou|Beitou]] | alt=北投 | long=25.1167 | lat=121.5 | content=A suburb of Taipei that was first developed as a hot spring resort town during the Japanese colonial period, during which the hot spring resorts doubled as brothels to serve the Japanese colonial administrators.

After the end of the Vietnam War, prostitution was outlawed in Taiwan, and the area was cleaned up with a vengeance. However, the hot spring resorts remain, albeit now as wholesome family-friendly experiences, and are popular with locals and tourists alike. }} === Thailand === Thailand was the most important U.S. ally in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, and home to several U.S. forward bases for troops about to be deployed to the battlefield in Vietnam. Thailand itself also fought a communist insurgency from 1965 to 1983, but unlike in the former French Indochina, the Thai communists failed to make any significant gains, partly due to the immense popularity of then-king Bhumibol Adulyadej among the Thai people. Thailand's famous sex tourism industry largely traces its roots to the Vietnam War, when it sprung up to cater to the American soldiers who were stationed in Thailand and/or visiting Thailand on their R&R leaves. Following the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam, Thailand expelled the remaining U.S. military forces from Thai soil, though it remains an official U.S. ally and regularly conducts bilateral military exercises with the U.S. Thailand's thriving sex tourism industry also remains as a reminder of that bygone era. * {{listing | type=city | name=[[Bangkok]] | wikipedia= | wikidata=Q1861 | lastedit= | content=Capital of the United States' most important ally during the Indochina Wars.

In particular, cultural differences between northern and southern Vietnam persist as a result of the previous division, and some Southerners in Vietnam are still bitter about having lost against the North. Most locals bear no animosity against individual tourists from the countries that participated in the wars, however, and American visitors can expect a warm welcome as most younger locals born after the wars admire American culture. While Cambodia and Laos have developed close relations with China, relations between Vietnam and China continue to be tense due to unresolved maritime border disputes, so tread carefully when discussing Sino-Vietnamese relations with locals. China is now the largest source of international tourists for all three countries, though, and apart from the odd jibe against the Chinese government, visitors from China are unlikely to run into any major issues as long as they are respectful and avoid political discussions. ==Stay safe== Much of the region is still littered with [[War_zone_safety#Land_mines_and_unexploded_ordnance|land mines and unexploded ordnance]], so be sure to avoid going off the beaten track in rural areas unless you have a guide who knows the area well. ==See also== * [[Cold War Europe]] * [[Korean War]] * [[Postwar United States]] * [[Khmer Empire]] * [[Forrest Gump tour]] {{PartOfTopic|Historical travel|Southeast Asia}} {{usabletopic}} q8i0vkva7yg5aahad2yqrn1clm68abg 4495907 4495906 2022-08-06T00:34:27Z Ikan Kekek 36420 Protected "[[Indochina Wars]]": Excessive vandalism ([Edit=Allow only autoconfirmed users] (expires 00:34, 13 August 2022 (UTC)) [Move=Allow only template editors and administrators] (expires 00:34, 13 August 2022 (UTC))) wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Helicopters near Saigon banner.jpg|caption=Helicopters near Saigon}} The '''[[Indochina]] Wars''' were a series of conflicts in [[Southeast Asia]] from 1946 to 1989. The major conflicts with global impact were the '''First Indochina War''' from 1946 to 1954 in which an independence movement supported by the [[Soviet Union]] and the People's Republic of [[China]] defeated [[France|French]] colonial forces, and the '''Vietnam War''' or '''American War''' in 1955-1975, in which North Vietnam (supported by the Soviet Union and China) defeated and annexed South Vietnam, which was supported by the [[United States]] and some of their allies. There were other smaller parallel and later conflicts, within the region. The wars in Indochina were extremely destructive, and the effects of which can still be felt today. As a comparison, in terms of tonnage, more bombs were dropped by the Americans on Southeast Asia during the course of the Indochina Wars, than the total amount of bombs dropped by all sides in all theatres of World War II combined. Landmines were also used extensively in the wars, the result being that to this day, locals continue to be killed or maimed by exploding landmines and bombs on a regular basis in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and to a lesser extent, Thailand. ==Understand== {{quote|The horror... The horror...|author=''Apocalypse Now''}} The Indochina Wars began as wars for '''independence''' from [[French colonial empire|French colonial rule]]. They became part of the '''[[Cold War]]''', which pitted the Western allies of the [[United States]] against the Soviet Union and China. They were also '''ideological''' conflicts between communism and capitalism. The communist camp was split into a pro-Soviet and a pro-Chinese faction in 1961, culminating in a war between the former "brother" nations in 1969. === Background and First (French) Indochina War (1946–54) === [[File:French_Indochina_c._1930.jpg|thumb|French Indochina in the 1930s]] In the late 19th century, [[French Colonial Empire|France]] replaced [[Imperial China]] and [[Thailand|Siam]] as the colonial power in the region that is today [[Vietnam]], [[Laos]] and [[Cambodia]]. Japan occupied the entire region during [[Pacific War|World War II]]. When the Japanese were defeated, the French aimed to regain their colonies, but their allies, especially the U.S., were opposed. Laos and Cambodia gained their independence, but their governments soon faced revolts by local communists backed by Moscow and/or Beijing. In Vietnam, things became much more complex. The Allies agreed that the Nationalist Chinese would administer the north of the country and the British the south until a Vietnamese government could be set up. Both countries had other problems &mdash; a civil war in China and a major Communist insurgency in [[Malaya]] &mdash; so neither did a good job in Vietnam. The Soviet Union-backed Việt Minh, a Communist-dominated anti-colonial coalition, declared independence in the north, while the French regained control in the south. By 1947, the two were at war and after 1949, the Chinese Communist government gave the Việt Minh considerable support. The U.S. supported France, but President Dwight Eisenhower refused to send American troops. After the French suffered a humiliating defeat in the bloody Battle of [[Dien Bien Phu]], the 1954 Geneva Accords ended that war. === (American) Vietnam War (1955–75) === {{quote|I have never talked or corresponded with a person knowledgeable in Indochinese affairs who did not agree that had elections been held as of the time of the fighting, possibly 80 per cent of the population would have voted for the Communist Ho Chi Minh as their leader rather than Chief of State Bao Dai.|author=U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower}} The Geneva Accords again divided Vietnam, with the Việt Minh led by Ho Chi Minh controlling the north and the French the south, and provided for elections in 1956 to create a government for the whole country. The French turned power over to a United States-backed capitalist regime led by Ngo Dinh Diem in the south, but Diem refused to hold the elections, resulting in another war. Diem, who was a Roman Catholic, enacted discriminatory laws against the Buddhist majority, making him very unpopular among the citizenry of South Vietnam. Although the accords specified that the military demarcation line was provisional and not a political boundary, the United States recognized South Vietnam as an independent country, and provided military and financial support. The pro-communist National Liberation Front of South Vietnam, colloquially known as ''Viet Cong'' (VC or "Charlie" in US military slang), did not recognize the Diem administration, which they viewed as an American puppet regime. Aided by the North Vietnamese People's Army, they fought for a re-unification of Vietnam under communist leadership and against the U.S. presence. At first, the United States only provided arms and military advisors to South Vietnam; but after the 1963 "Gulf of Tonkin incident", President Lyndon B. Johnson sent thousands of American "boots on the ground". In the course of the war, more than 2.7 million U.S. soldiers fought in Vietnam. Despite the American forces' use of attack helicopters, napalm and "Agent Orange" defoliant, they were not able to rout the Viet Cong, who used guerilla tactics and benefited from their acquaintance with the rough terrain and support from parts of the civilian population. Both sides committed horrendous war crimes, most notably the Huế Massacre during the Tet Offensive, and the My Lai Massacre in 1968. Following World War II, [[Thailand]] became a U.S. ally and an important forward base for U.S. operations in the Vietnam War. The [[Philippines]] also had important bases for the U.S. war effort, notably a naval base at [[Subic]] and [[Angeles#By plane|Clark Air Base]]. Other regional U.S. partners included [[Australia]], [[Japan]], [[Malaysia]], [[Singapore]], [[South Korea]], [[Taiwan]] and the then-[[United Kingdom|British]] colony of [[Hong Kong]]. These areas also became officially-approved destinations for the R&R of American soldiers fighting in the war, thus boosting their tourism industries, though with the exception of Australia, also led to the growth of sex and vice tourism in those areas, especially in Thailand. United by their fear of communism, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was formed as a ''de facto'' anti-communist grouping by [[Indonesia]], [[Thailand]], [[Malaysia]], the [[Philippines]] and [[Singapore]] in 1967. The Americans pulled their forces from South Vietnam in 1973 amid mounting losses and domestic pressures to end the war. The Vietnam War eventually ended with the Fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975, when a North Vietnamese tank drove into South Vietnam's Presidential Palace. China fought a brief war with South Vietnam in 1974, gaining control of the [[Paracel Islands]], which remain disputed between China, Taiwan and Vietnam. === Laotian Civil War === Happening concurrently with the Vietnam War was the Laotian Civil War (1959-1975), which pitted the French-aligned royal family, backed by the United States, Thailand and South Vietnam, against the communist ''Pathet Lao'', backed by North Vietnam and the Soviet Union. Following the Fall of Saigon, and the consequent loss of South Vietnamese support for the royalists, the Pathet Lao won the civil war. === Spillover to Laos and Cambodia === The Vietnam War had significant spillover into [[Laos]] and [[Cambodia]], first through the "Ho Chi Minh trail" that was used by North Vietnamese smugglers to supply South Vietnamese communist forces and later when U.S. President Richard Nixon decided to bomb those countries that had been officially neutral up to that point. === "Third Indochina War" === [[File:Skulls from the killing fields.jpg|thumb|Skulls from the Khmer Rouge killing fields]] The horror, however, was not over yet. After the communist victory, many of the ethnic Chinese and business-owning upper and middle class Vietnamese in the South were targeted for purges. This sparked off a massive refugee crisis as many Southerners, known as the "boat people", attempted to flee the country, with countless refugees perishing at sea. Most of the survivors were settled in the United States, Australia and Canada, thus establishing the Vietnamese communities in those countries. Likewise, the Hmong people of Laos came under general suspicion by the victorious communists of being pro-American collaborators, leading to a mass exodus of that ethnic group to Thailand, the U.S. and other Western countries. In the course of the war and chaos, Cambodia was taken over by the "Khmer Rouge", as they came to be known in the West, under Pol Pot. Driven by a particularly extremist interpretation of communist doctrine combined with Khmer ethnic nationalism, they overthrew the U.S.-backed regime in 1975, and perpetrated one of the most horrific genocides in history, killing roughly a quarter of the Cambodian population. Large numbers of middle and upper class Cambodians attempted to flee by sea while many others fled over the borders with Thailand and Vietnam, thus worsening the already bad refugee crisis brought on by the Fall of Saigon. The West supported the regime despite its professed communism (being pro-China and anti-Soviet, they were seen as the lesser evil in the cynical logic of the Cold War). It was the Vietnamese army that intervened in 1978/79, stopped the genocide and toppled the Khmer Rouge regime. In retaliation, China invaded Vietnam in 1979, but withdrew shortly after. The Sino-Vietnamese war led to an intensification of the purges of Vietnam's ethnic Chinese, with virtually the entire ethnic Chinese population in northern Vietnam expelled to China. A significant ethnic Chinese community remains in southern Vietnam, albeit in much smaller numbers than prior to the Fall of Saigon. Vietnamese forces only withdrew from Cambodia under pressure from ASEAN in 1989, which was followed by a normalisation of Sino-Vietnamese ties in 1991, and the final demarcation of the China-Vietnam land border being completed in 2008. In Cambodia, stability was restored in 1993 with the restoration of the monarchy, albeit as a constitutional monarchy, and the successful conduct of elections under the oversight of the United Nations. ===Legacy=== Following the end of the Cold War, all three countries that made up the former French Indochina were admitted into ASEAN. Vietnam and the U.S. have cordial relations today. There is considerable tourism by foreign veterans returning to visit the countries where they served or that they visited for R&R. Some even [[retiring abroad|retire]] there; Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia all have substantial contingents of retirees including some veterans. The region is also a popular backpacker destination; see [[Banana Pancake Trail]]. Relations between all countries in the region are now peaceful, and the route from [[Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City overland]] is popular among Western backpackers. ==Destinations== {{Mapframe|16|105|zoom=5|layer=W|height=400|width=300}} === Australia === * {{listing | type=see | name=Australian War Memorial | url=https://www.awm.gov.au/ | address=[[Canberra]] | lat= | long= | wikipedia= | wikidata=Q782783 | lastedit= | content=Australia's main military history museum, with exhibits dedicated to the Vietnam War. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=National Vietnam Veterans Museum| url=https://www.vietnamvetsmuseum.org/ | address=[[Phillip Island]] | lat= | long= | wikipedia= | wikidata=Q27628411 | lastedit= | content=Museum dedicated to the experience of the Australian Vietnam War veterans. }} * {{listing | type=see | name=[[Canberra#North Canberra|Vietnam Forces National Memorial]] | address=Canberra | lat= | long= | wikipedia= | wikidata=Q3333167 | lastedit= | content=Memorial dedicated to the Australian soldiers who fought in the Vietnam War }} === North Vietnam === * {{listing|type=city | name=[[Dien Bien Phu]] | wikidata=Q36027 | content=Provincial town in the mountainous far northwest of the country.

China is now the largest source of international tourists for all three countries, though, and apart from the odd jibe against the Chinese government, visitors from China are unlikely to run into any major issues as long as they are respectful and avoid political discussions. ==Stay safe== Much of the region is still littered with [[War_zone_safety#Land_mines_and_unexploded_ordnance|land mines and unexploded ordnance]], so be sure to avoid going off the beaten track in rural areas unless you have a guide who knows the area well. ==See also== * [[Cold War Europe]] * [[Korean War]] * [[Postwar United States]] * [[Khmer Empire]] * [[Forrest Gump tour]] {{PartOfTopic|Historical travel|Southeast Asia}} {{usabletopic}} q8i0vkva7yg5aahad2yqrn1clm68abg 0 148002 4495781 4495531 2022-08-05T16:14:00Z 131.191.91.0 /* [[California]] */ Updated listing for [[File:California 15.svg|25px]] Riverside (Interstate 15) wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Interstate 5 banner Kern County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway.

So going south the numbers on the mileposts will decrease and then start over at the highest number (276 in Washington, 308 in Oregon & 796 in California) when crossing a state line. The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111.

This section is multi-lane (3 to 8) in both directions and is busy with traffic at nearly all times of the day. If at all possible avoid driving at peak commuter times. Some drivers may be tempted to take Interstate 405 as an alternate route, but check traffic conditions before doing so as it is often even worse for traffic congestion. * {{listing | name=[[San Clemente]] | alt=Exits 73-77 | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-16 | content=There are five exits for San Clemente.

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through.

National Park]], West wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Interstate 5 banner Kern County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state.

So going south the numbers on the mileposts will decrease and then start over at the highest number (276 in Washington, 308 in Oregon & 796 in California) when crossing a state line. The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

The I-5 corridor remains at 65 mph (104km/h) in rural areas and 55-60 mph in urban areas. The stretch of I-5 between Portland & Eugene is also at 55-60mph (88-100km/h) too. Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them). When you arrive at a filling station wait for an attendant to come to your car rather than attempting to get out and fill up your car on your own. [[File:OR 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] The present State Routes (SR) 99, 99E and 99W and Interstate 5 follow the former US Highway 99 very closely as the Pacific Highway (or by another name), through the entire state. SR 99 runs concurrently with the present I-5 between Eugene and Grants Pass except the short local business spurs/loops to serve as local roads/streets through Cottage Grove, Goshen, Sutherlin, Roseburg and Winston. From Grants Pass (exit 58) to Ashland (exit 14) SR 99 runs continuously as a separate highway through Grants Pass, Gold Hill, Central Point, Medford, Phoenix, Talent and Ashland. From Ashland to the border with California the Old Hwy 99 follows SR 66 to the south of Emigrant Lake and as SR 273 from Emigrant Lake to the California border. Going north from Cottage Grove, SR 99 goes through Eugene as a series of local streets and north to Junction City where it splits between OR 99E & OR 99W (formerly US Hwy 99E & 99W), through the Willamette Valley, to Portland where they rejoin before crossing the Columbia River into Washington:<br> [[File:OR 99E.svg|25px|frameless|left]] Junction City, Halsey, [[Albany_(Oregon)|Albany]], [[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]], [[Woodburn]], Canby, [[Oregon City]], [[Gladstone]], [[Milwaukie]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]]<br> [[File:I-5.svg|25px|frameless|left]] [[Eugene]], [[Albany_(Oregon)|Albany]], [[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]], [[Wilsonville]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]]<br> [[File:OR 99W.svg|25px|frameless|left]] Junction City, [[Corvallis]], Amity, [[Monmouth_(Oregon)|Monmouth]], [[McMinnville_(Oregon)|McMinnville]], [[Newberg]], [[Tigard]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]]<br> which are described throughout the article in the below: ====[[Southern Oregon]]==== Southern Oregon has become a popular retirement community over the past few decades; what was once a lumber-oriented economy has gradually adapted to service and tourism-based businesses.

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

National Park]], West wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Interstate 5 banner Kern County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state. They run from Seattle to [[Vancouver]] via Everett, Stanwood, Mt Vernon & Bellingham twice daily and from Portland to Eugene via Oregon City, Salem & Albany twice daily. Additional service from Seattle to Vancouver and from Portland to Eugene are provided on the Amtrak Thruway Bus. :* '''[http://www.pacificsurfliner.com/ Pacific Surfliner]''' [[San Luis Obispo]], [[Santa Barbara]], [[Oxnard]], [[Los Angeles#By train|Los Angeles]] & [[San Diego#By_train|San Diego]]. The segment of this route closest or parallel to the I-5 corridor is between Simi Valley and San Diego. Passengers continue south towards the Mexican border in San Ysidro on the [https://www.sdmts.com/schedules-real-time-maps-and-routes/trolley SDMTS 'UC San Diego Blue Line' Trolley] from the American Plaza Station, across the street the Santa Fe Station. :* '''[https://amtraksanjoaquins.com/ San Joaquins]''' Sacramento, Merced, [[Stockton]], [[Fresno]] and [[Bakersfield]]. Some trains on this route will go west towards Emeryville and Oakland from Stockton instead of continuing north to Sacramento. This route is then connected to Los Angeles from Bakersfield and from Stockton & Sacramento to Redding by Thruway buses via I-5. ===By bus=== {{see also|Long-distance bus travel in the United States}} There are several bus companies operating buses along the I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor with Greyhound, Flixbus and Fronteras del Norte serving the entire length while other companies operate buses along certain sections of the I-5 corridor in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon or Washington) or California to make the trip possible without a car: * {{listing | type=listing | name=Greyhound Lines, Bolt Bus, Cruceros USA | alt= | url=http://www.greyhound.com | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree=+1-800-231-2222 | hours= | price= | content=Travels along the entire I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor between [[Tijuana#By bus|Tijuana]], [[San Diego#By bus|San Diego]], [[Los Angeles#By bus|Los Angeles]], [[Sacramento#By bus|Sacramento]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By bus|Portland]], [[Seattle#By bus|Seattle]],[[Vancouver#By bus|Vancouver BC]] and several smaller cities/towns in between each of the above cities.

So going south the numbers on the mileposts will decrease and then start over at the highest number (276 in Washington, 308 in Oregon & 796 in California) when crossing a state line. The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley. Cities served include [[Bakersfield]], [[Delano]], [[Tulare]], [[Visalia]], [[Kingsburg]], [[Selma_(California)|Selma]], [[Fresno]], [[Madera]], [[Yosemite National Park]], [[Merced]], [[Turlock]], [[Modesto]], [[Manteca]], [[Stockton]], [[Sacramento]], [[Yuba City]], and [[Chico]]. SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111.

The I-5 corridor remains at 65 mph (104km/h) in rural areas and 55-60 mph in urban areas. The stretch of I-5 between Portland & Eugene is also at 55-60mph (88-100km/h) too. Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them).

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

National Park]], West wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Interstate 5 banner Kern County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state. They run from Seattle to [[Vancouver]] via Everett, Stanwood, Mt Vernon & Bellingham twice daily and from Portland to Eugene via Oregon City, Salem & Albany twice daily. Additional service from Seattle to Vancouver and from Portland to Eugene are provided on the Amtrak Thruway Bus. :* '''[http://www.pacificsurfliner.com/ Pacific Surfliner]''' [[San Luis Obispo]], [[Santa Barbara]], [[Oxnard]], [[Los Angeles#By train|Los Angeles]] & [[San Diego#By_train|San Diego]]. The segment of this route closest or parallel to the I-5 corridor is between Simi Valley and San Diego. Passengers continue south towards the Mexican border in San Ysidro on the [https://www.sdmts.com/schedules-real-time-maps-and-routes/trolley SDMTS 'UC San Diego Blue Line' Trolley] from the American Plaza Station, across the street the Santa Fe Station. :* '''[https://amtraksanjoaquins.com/ San Joaquins]''' Sacramento, Merced, [[Stockton]], [[Fresno]] and [[Bakersfield]]. Some trains on this route will go west towards Emeryville and Oakland from Stockton instead of continuing north to Sacramento. This route is then connected to Los Angeles from Bakersfield and from Stockton & Sacramento to Redding by Thruway buses via I-5. ===By bus=== {{see also|Long-distance bus travel in the United States}} There are several bus companies operating buses along the I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor with Greyhound, Flixbus and Fronteras del Norte serving the entire length while other companies operate buses along certain sections of the I-5 corridor in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon or Washington) or California to make the trip possible without a car: * {{listing | type=listing | name=Greyhound Lines, Bolt Bus, Cruceros USA | alt= | url=http://www.greyhound.com | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree=+1-800-231-2222 | hours= | price= | content=Travels along the entire I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor between [[Tijuana#By bus|Tijuana]], [[San Diego#By bus|San Diego]], [[Los Angeles#By bus|Los Angeles]], [[Sacramento#By bus|Sacramento]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By bus|Portland]], [[Seattle#By bus|Seattle]],[[Vancouver#By bus|Vancouver BC]] and several smaller cities/towns in between each of the above cities.

The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley. Cities served include [[Bakersfield]], [[Delano]], [[Tulare]], [[Visalia]], [[Kingsburg]], [[Selma_(California)|Selma]], [[Fresno]], [[Madera]], [[Yosemite National Park]], [[Merced]], [[Turlock]], [[Modesto]], [[Manteca]], [[Stockton]], [[Sacramento]], [[Yuba City]], and [[Chico]]. SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

[[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails.

The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through.

CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state.

So going south the numbers on the mileposts will decrease and then start over at the highest number (276 in Washington, 308 in Oregon & 796 in California) when crossing a state line. The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

The I-5 corridor remains at 65 mph (104km/h) in rural areas and 55-60 mph in urban areas. The stretch of I-5 between Portland & Eugene is also at 55-60mph (88-100km/h) too. Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them). When you arrive at a filling station wait for an attendant to come to your car rather than attempting to get out and fill up your car on your own. [[File:OR 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] The present State Routes (SR) 99, 99E and 99W and Interstate 5 follow the former US Highway 99 very closely as the Pacific Highway (or by another name), through the entire state. SR 99 runs concurrently with the present I-5 between Eugene and Grants Pass except the short local business spurs/loops to serve as local roads/streets through Cottage Grove, Goshen, Sutherlin, Roseburg and Winston. From Grants Pass (exit 58) to Ashland (exit 14) SR 99 runs continuously as a separate highway through Grants Pass, Gold Hill, Central Point, Medford, Phoenix, Talent and Ashland. From Ashland to the border with California the Old Hwy 99 follows SR 66 to the south of Emigrant Lake and as SR 273 from Emigrant Lake to the California border. Going north from Cottage Grove, SR 99 goes through Eugene as a series of local streets and north to Junction City where it splits between OR 99E & OR 99W (formerly US Hwy 99E & 99W), through the Willamette Valley, to Portland where they rejoin before crossing the Columbia River into Washington:<br> [[File:OR 99E.svg|25px|frameless|left]] Junction City, Halsey, [[Albany_(Oregon)|Albany]], [[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]], [[Woodburn]], Canby, [[Oregon City]], [[Gladstone]], [[Milwaukie]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]]<br> [[File:I-5.svg|25px|frameless|left]] [[Eugene]], [[Albany_(Oregon)|Albany]], [[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]], [[Wilsonville]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]]<br> [[File:OR 99W.svg|25px|frameless|left]] Junction City, [[Corvallis]], Amity, [[Monmouth_(Oregon)|Monmouth]], [[McMinnville_(Oregon)|McMinnville]], [[Newberg]], [[Tigard]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]]<br> which are described throughout the article in the below: ====[[Southern Oregon]]==== Southern Oregon has become a popular retirement community over the past few decades; what was once a lumber-oriented economy has gradually adapted to service and tourism-based businesses.

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

[[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state. They run from Seattle to [[Vancouver]] via Everett, Stanwood, Mt Vernon & Bellingham twice daily and from Portland to Eugene via Oregon City, Salem & Albany twice daily. Additional service from Seattle to Vancouver and from Portland to Eugene are provided on the Amtrak Thruway Bus. :* '''[http://www.pacificsurfliner.com/ Pacific Surfliner]''' [[San Luis Obispo]], [[Santa Barbara]], [[Oxnard]], [[Los Angeles#By train|Los Angeles]] & [[San Diego#By_train|San Diego]]. The segment of this route closest or parallel to the I-5 corridor is between Simi Valley and San Diego. Passengers continue south towards the Mexican border in San Ysidro on the [https://www.sdmts.com/schedules-real-time-maps-and-routes/trolley SDMTS 'UC San Diego Blue Line' Trolley] from the American Plaza Station, across the street the Santa Fe Station. :* '''[https://amtraksanjoaquins.com/ San Joaquins]''' Sacramento, Merced, [[Stockton]], [[Fresno]] and [[Bakersfield]]. Some trains on this route will go west towards Emeryville and Oakland from Stockton instead of continuing north to Sacramento. This route is then connected to Los Angeles from Bakersfield and from Stockton & Sacramento to Redding by Thruway buses via I-5. ===By bus=== {{see also|Long-distance bus travel in the United States}} There are several bus companies operating buses along the I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor with Greyhound, Flixbus and Fronteras del Norte serving the entire length while other companies operate buses along certain sections of the I-5 corridor in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon or Washington) or California to make the trip possible without a car: * {{listing | type=listing | name=Greyhound Lines, Bolt Bus, Cruceros USA | alt= | url=http://www.greyhound.com | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree=+1-800-231-2222 | hours= | price= | content=Travels along the entire I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor between [[Tijuana#By bus|Tijuana]], [[San Diego#By bus|San Diego]], [[Los Angeles#By bus|Los Angeles]], [[Sacramento#By bus|Sacramento]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By bus|Portland]], [[Seattle#By bus|Seattle]],[[Vancouver#By bus|Vancouver BC]] and several smaller cities/towns in between each of the above cities.

These options are generally cheaper than Greyhound or other intercity carriers for the same distances.

So going south the numbers on the mileposts will decrease and then start over at the highest number (276 in Washington, 308 in Oregon & 796 in California) when crossing a state line. The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley. Cities served include [[Bakersfield]], [[Delano]], [[Tulare]], [[Visalia]], [[Kingsburg]], [[Selma_(California)|Selma]], [[Fresno]], [[Madera]], [[Yosemite National Park]], [[Merced]], [[Turlock]], [[Modesto]], [[Manteca]], [[Stockton]], [[Sacramento]], [[Yuba City]], and [[Chico]]. SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111.

Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them).

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

{{pagebanner|Interstate 5 banner Kern County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state. They run from Seattle to [[Vancouver]] via Everett, Stanwood, Mt Vernon & Bellingham twice daily and from Portland to Eugene via Oregon City, Salem & Albany twice daily. Additional service from Seattle to Vancouver and from Portland to Eugene are provided on the Amtrak Thruway Bus. :* '''[http://www.pacificsurfliner.com/ Pacific Surfliner]''' [[San Luis Obispo]], [[Santa Barbara]], [[Oxnard]], [[Los Angeles#By train|Los Angeles]] & [[San Diego#By_train|San Diego]]. The segment of this route closest or parallel to the I-5 corridor is between Simi Valley and San Diego. Passengers continue south towards the Mexican border in San Ysidro on the [https://www.sdmts.com/schedules-real-time-maps-and-routes/trolley SDMTS 'UC San Diego Blue Line' Trolley] from the American Plaza Station, across the street the Santa Fe Station. :* '''[https://amtraksanjoaquins.com/ San Joaquins]''' Sacramento, Merced, [[Stockton]], [[Fresno]] and [[Bakersfield]]. Some trains on this route will go west towards Emeryville and Oakland from Stockton instead of continuing north to Sacramento. This route is then connected to Los Angeles from Bakersfield and from Stockton & Sacramento to Redding by Thruway buses via I-5. ===By bus=== {{see also|Long-distance bus travel in the United States}} There are several bus companies operating buses along the I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor with Greyhound, Flixbus and Fronteras del Norte serving the entire length while other companies operate buses along certain sections of the I-5 corridor in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon or Washington) or California to make the trip possible without a car: * {{listing | type=listing | name=Greyhound Lines, Bolt Bus, Cruceros USA | alt= | url=http://www.greyhound.com | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree=+1-800-231-2222 | hours= | price= | content=Travels along the entire I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor between [[Tijuana#By bus|Tijuana]], [[San Diego#By bus|San Diego]], [[Los Angeles#By bus|Los Angeles]], [[Sacramento#By bus|Sacramento]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By bus|Portland]], [[Seattle#By bus|Seattle]],[[Vancouver#By bus|Vancouver BC]] and several smaller cities/towns in between each of the above cities.

The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley. Cities served include [[Bakersfield]], [[Delano]], [[Tulare]], [[Visalia]], [[Kingsburg]], [[Selma_(California)|Selma]], [[Fresno]], [[Madera]], [[Yosemite National Park]], [[Merced]], [[Turlock]], [[Modesto]], [[Manteca]], [[Stockton]], [[Sacramento]], [[Yuba City]], and [[Chico]]. SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway.

The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them).

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state.

So going south the numbers on the mileposts will decrease and then start over at the highest number (276 in Washington, 308 in Oregon & 796 in California) when crossing a state line. The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

The I-5 corridor remains at 65 mph (104km/h) in rural areas and 55-60 mph in urban areas. The stretch of I-5 between Portland & Eugene is also at 55-60mph (88-100km/h) too. Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them). When you arrive at a filling station wait for an attendant to come to your car rather than attempting to get out and fill up your car on your own. [[File:OR 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] The present State Routes (SR) 99, 99E and 99W and Interstate 5 follow the former US Highway 99 very closely as the Pacific Highway (or by another name), through the entire state. SR 99 runs concurrently with the present I-5 between Eugene and Grants Pass except the short local business spurs/loops to serve as local roads/streets through Cottage Grove, Goshen, Sutherlin, Roseburg and Winston. From Grants Pass (exit 58) to Ashland (exit 14) SR 99 runs continuously as a separate highway through Grants Pass, Gold Hill, Central Point, Medford, Phoenix, Talent and Ashland. From Ashland to the border with California the Old Hwy 99 follows SR 66 to the south of Emigrant Lake and as SR 273 from Emigrant Lake to the California border. Going north from Cottage Grove, SR 99 goes through Eugene as a series of local streets and north to Junction City where it splits between OR 99E & OR 99W (formerly US Hwy 99E & 99W), through the Willamette Valley, to Portland where they rejoin before crossing the Columbia River into Washington:<br> [[File:OR 99E.svg|25px|frameless|left]] Junction City, Halsey, [[Albany_(Oregon)|Albany]], [[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]], [[Woodburn]], Canby, [[Oregon City]], [[Gladstone]], [[Milwaukie]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]]<br> [[File:I-5.svg|25px|frameless|left]] [[Eugene]], [[Albany_(Oregon)|Albany]], [[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]], [[Wilsonville]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]]<br> [[File:OR 99W.svg|25px|frameless|left]] Junction City, [[Corvallis]], Amity, [[Monmouth_(Oregon)|Monmouth]], [[McMinnville_(Oregon)|McMinnville]], [[Newberg]], [[Tigard]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]]<br> which are described throughout the article in the below: ====[[Southern Oregon]]==== Southern Oregon has become a popular retirement community over the past few decades; what was once a lumber-oriented economy has gradually adapted to service and tourism-based businesses.

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state. They run from Seattle to [[Vancouver]] via Everett, Stanwood, Mt Vernon & Bellingham twice daily and from Portland to Eugene via Oregon City, Salem & Albany twice daily. Additional service from Seattle to Vancouver and from Portland to Eugene are provided on the Amtrak Thruway Bus. :* '''[http://www.pacificsurfliner.com/ Pacific Surfliner]''' [[San Luis Obispo]], [[Santa Barbara]], [[Oxnard]], [[Los Angeles#By train|Los Angeles]] & [[San Diego#By_train|San Diego]].

So going south the numbers on the mileposts will decrease and then start over at the highest number (276 in Washington, 308 in Oregon & 796 in California) when crossing a state line. The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111.

Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them).

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

Antelope Blvd, Chico wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Interstate 5 banner Kern County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state. They run from Seattle to [[Vancouver]] via Everett, Stanwood, Mt Vernon & Bellingham twice daily and from Portland to Eugene via Oregon City, Salem & Albany twice daily. Additional service from Seattle to Vancouver and from Portland to Eugene are provided on the Amtrak Thruway Bus. :* '''[http://www.pacificsurfliner.com/ Pacific Surfliner]''' [[San Luis Obispo]], [[Santa Barbara]], [[Oxnard]], [[Los Angeles#By train|Los Angeles]] & [[San Diego#By_train|San Diego]]. The segment of this route closest or parallel to the I-5 corridor is between Simi Valley and San Diego. Passengers continue south towards the Mexican border in San Ysidro on the [https://www.sdmts.com/schedules-real-time-maps-and-routes/trolley SDMTS 'UC San Diego Blue Line' Trolley] from the American Plaza Station, across the street the Santa Fe Station. :* '''[https://amtraksanjoaquins.com/ San Joaquins]''' Sacramento, Merced, [[Stockton]], [[Fresno]] and [[Bakersfield]]. Some trains on this route will go west towards Emeryville and Oakland from Stockton instead of continuing north to Sacramento. This route is then connected to Los Angeles from Bakersfield and from Stockton & Sacramento to Redding by Thruway buses via I-5. ===By bus=== {{see also|Long-distance bus travel in the United States}} There are several bus companies operating buses along the I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor with Greyhound, Flixbus and Fronteras del Norte serving the entire length while other companies operate buses along certain sections of the I-5 corridor in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon or Washington) or California to make the trip possible without a car: * {{listing | type=listing | name=Greyhound Lines, Bolt Bus, Cruceros USA | alt= | url=http://www.greyhound.com | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree=+1-800-231-2222 | hours= | price= | content=Travels along the entire I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor between [[Tijuana#By bus|Tijuana]], [[San Diego#By bus|San Diego]], [[Los Angeles#By bus|Los Angeles]], [[Sacramento#By bus|Sacramento]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By bus|Portland]], [[Seattle#By bus|Seattle]],[[Vancouver#By bus|Vancouver BC]] and several smaller cities/towns in between each of the above cities.

The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley. Cities served include [[Bakersfield]], [[Delano]], [[Tulare]], [[Visalia]], [[Kingsburg]], [[Selma_(California)|Selma]], [[Fresno]], [[Madera]], [[Yosemite National Park]], [[Merced]], [[Turlock]], [[Modesto]], [[Manteca]], [[Stockton]], [[Sacramento]], [[Yuba City]], and [[Chico]]. SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them).

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway.

The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them).

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

Antelope Blvd, Chico wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Interstate 5 banner Kern County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state.

So going south the numbers on the mileposts will decrease and then start over at the highest number (276 in Washington, 308 in Oregon & 796 in California) when crossing a state line. The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

The I-5 corridor remains at 65 mph (104km/h) in rural areas and 55-60 mph in urban areas. The stretch of I-5 between Portland & Eugene is also at 55-60mph (88-100km/h) too. Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them). When you arrive at a filling station wait for an attendant to come to your car rather than attempting to get out and fill up your car on your own. [[File:OR 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] The present State Routes (SR) 99, 99E and 99W and Interstate 5 follow the former US Highway 99 very closely as the Pacific Highway (or by another name), through the entire state. SR 99 runs concurrently with the present I-5 between Eugene and Grants Pass except the short local business spurs/loops to serve as local roads/streets through Cottage Grove, Goshen, Sutherlin, Roseburg and Winston. From Grants Pass (exit 58) to Ashland (exit 14) SR 99 runs continuously as a separate highway through Grants Pass, Gold Hill, Central Point, Medford, Phoenix, Talent and Ashland. From Ashland to the border with California the Old Hwy 99 follows SR 66 to the south of Emigrant Lake and as SR 273 from Emigrant Lake to the California border. Going north from Cottage Grove, SR 99 goes through Eugene as a series of local streets and north to Junction City where it splits between OR 99E & OR 99W (formerly US Hwy 99E & 99W), through the Willamette Valley, to Portland where they rejoin before crossing the Columbia River into Washington:<br> [[File:OR 99E.svg|25px|frameless|left]] Junction City, Halsey, [[Albany_(Oregon)|Albany]], [[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]], [[Woodburn]], Canby, [[Oregon City]], [[Gladstone]], [[Milwaukie]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]]<br> [[File:I-5.svg|25px|frameless|left]] [[Eugene]], [[Albany_(Oregon)|Albany]], [[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]], [[Wilsonville]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]]<br> [[File:OR 99W.svg|25px|frameless|left]] Junction City, [[Corvallis]], Amity, [[Monmouth_(Oregon)|Monmouth]], [[McMinnville_(Oregon)|McMinnville]], [[Newberg]], [[Tigard]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]]<br> which are described throughout the article in the below: ====[[Southern Oregon]]==== Southern Oregon has become a popular retirement community over the past few decades; what was once a lumber-oriented economy has gradually adapted to service and tourism-based businesses.

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state. They run from Seattle to [[Vancouver]] via Everett, Stanwood, Mt Vernon & Bellingham twice daily and from Portland to Eugene via Oregon City, Salem & Albany twice daily. Additional service from Seattle to Vancouver and from Portland to Eugene are provided on the Amtrak Thruway Bus. :* '''[http://www.pacificsurfliner.com/ Pacific Surfliner]''' [[San Luis Obispo]], [[Santa Barbara]], [[Oxnard]], [[Los Angeles#By train|Los Angeles]] & [[San Diego#By_train|San Diego]].

So going south the numbers on the mileposts will decrease and then start over at the highest number (276 in Washington, 308 in Oregon & 796 in California) when crossing a state line. The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111.

Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them).

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

Kern County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state. They run from Seattle to [[Vancouver]] via Everett, Stanwood, Mt Vernon & Bellingham twice daily and from Portland to Eugene via Oregon City, Salem & Albany twice daily. Additional service from Seattle to Vancouver and from Portland to Eugene are provided on the Amtrak Thruway Bus. :* '''[http://www.pacificsurfliner.com/ Pacific Surfliner]''' [[San Luis Obispo]], [[Santa Barbara]], [[Oxnard]], [[Los Angeles#By train|Los Angeles]] & [[San Diego#By_train|San Diego]]. The segment of this route closest or parallel to the I-5 corridor is between Simi Valley and San Diego. Passengers continue south towards the Mexican border in San Ysidro on the [https://www.sdmts.com/schedules-real-time-maps-and-routes/trolley SDMTS 'UC San Diego Blue Line' Trolley] from the American Plaza Station, across the street the Santa Fe Station. :* '''[https://amtraksanjoaquins.com/ San Joaquins]''' Sacramento, Merced, [[Stockton]], [[Fresno]] and [[Bakersfield]]. Some trains on this route will go west towards Emeryville and Oakland from Stockton instead of continuing north to Sacramento. This route is then connected to Los Angeles from Bakersfield and from Stockton & Sacramento to Redding by Thruway buses via I-5. ===By bus=== {{see also|Long-distance bus travel in the United States}} There are several bus companies operating buses along the I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor with Greyhound, Flixbus and Fronteras del Norte serving the entire length while other companies operate buses along certain sections of the I-5 corridor in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon or Washington) or California to make the trip possible without a car: * {{listing | type=listing | name=Greyhound Lines, Bolt Bus, Cruceros USA | alt= | url=http://www.greyhound.com | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree=+1-800-231-2222 | hours= | price= | content=Travels along the entire I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor between [[Tijuana#By bus|Tijuana]], [[San Diego#By bus|San Diego]], [[Los Angeles#By bus|Los Angeles]], [[Sacramento#By bus|Sacramento]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By bus|Portland]], [[Seattle#By bus|Seattle]],[[Vancouver#By bus|Vancouver BC]] and several smaller cities/towns in between each of the above cities.

The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley. Cities served include [[Bakersfield]], [[Delano]], [[Tulare]], [[Visalia]], [[Kingsburg]], [[Selma_(California)|Selma]], [[Fresno]], [[Madera]], [[Yosemite National Park]], [[Merced]], [[Turlock]], [[Modesto]], [[Manteca]], [[Stockton]], [[Sacramento]], [[Yuba City]], and [[Chico]]. SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

Kern County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway.

The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

banner Kern County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state. They run from Seattle to [[Vancouver]] via Everett, Stanwood, Mt Vernon & Bellingham twice daily and from Portland to Eugene via Oregon City, Salem & Albany twice daily.

So going south the numbers on the mileposts will decrease and then start over at the highest number (276 in Washington, 308 in Oregon & 796 in California) when crossing a state line. The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

The I-5 corridor remains at 65 mph (104km/h) in rural areas and 55-60 mph in urban areas. The stretch of I-5 between Portland & Eugene is also at 55-60mph (88-100km/h) too. Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them). When you arrive at a filling station wait for an attendant to come to your car rather than attempting to get out and fill up your car on your own. [[File:OR 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] The present State Routes (SR) 99, 99E and 99W and Interstate 5 follow the former US Highway 99 very closely as the Pacific Highway (or by another name), through the entire state. SR 99 runs concurrently with the present I-5 between Eugene and Grants Pass except the short local business spurs/loops to serve as local roads/streets through Cottage Grove, Goshen, Sutherlin, Roseburg and Winston. From Grants Pass (exit 58) to Ashland (exit 14) SR 99 runs continuously as a separate highway through Grants Pass, Gold Hill, Central Point, Medford, Phoenix, Talent and Ashland. From Ashland to the border with California the Old Hwy 99 follows SR 66 to the south of Emigrant Lake and as SR 273 from Emigrant Lake to the California border. Going north from Cottage Grove, SR 99 goes through Eugene as a series of local streets and north to Junction City where it splits between OR 99E & OR 99W (formerly US Hwy 99E & 99W), through the Willamette Valley, to Portland where they rejoin before crossing the Columbia River into Washington:<br> [[File:OR 99E.svg|25px|frameless|left]] Junction City, Halsey, [[Albany_(Oregon)|Albany]], [[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]], [[Woodburn]], Canby, [[Oregon City]], [[Gladstone]], [[Milwaukie]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]]<br> [[File:I-5.svg|25px|frameless|left]] [[Eugene]], [[Albany_(Oregon)|Albany]], [[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]], [[Wilsonville]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]]<br> [[File:OR 99W.svg|25px|frameless|left]] Junction City, [[Corvallis]], Amity, [[Monmouth_(Oregon)|Monmouth]], [[McMinnville_(Oregon)|McMinnville]], [[Newberg]], [[Tigard]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]]<br> which are described throughout the article in the below: ====[[Southern Oregon]]==== Southern Oregon has become a popular retirement community over the past few decades; what was once a lumber-oriented economy has gradually adapted to service and tourism-based businesses.

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

banner Kern County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state. They run from Seattle to [[Vancouver]] via Everett, Stanwood, Mt Vernon & Bellingham twice daily and from Portland to Eugene via Oregon City, Salem & Albany twice daily. Additional service from Seattle to Vancouver and from Portland to Eugene are provided on the Amtrak Thruway Bus. :* '''[http://www.pacificsurfliner.com/ Pacific Surfliner]''' [[San Luis Obispo]], [[Santa Barbara]], [[Oxnard]], [[Los Angeles#By train|Los Angeles]] & [[San Diego#By_train|San Diego]].

So going south the numbers on the mileposts will decrease and then start over at the highest number (276 in Washington, 308 in Oregon & 796 in California) when crossing a state line. The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111.

Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them).

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state. They run from Seattle to [[Vancouver]] via Everett, Stanwood, Mt Vernon & Bellingham twice daily and from Portland to Eugene via Oregon City, Salem & Albany twice daily. Additional service from Seattle to Vancouver and from Portland to Eugene are provided on the Amtrak Thruway Bus. :* '''[http://www.pacificsurfliner.com/ Pacific Surfliner]''' [[San Luis Obispo]], [[Santa Barbara]], [[Oxnard]], [[Los Angeles#By train|Los Angeles]] & [[San Diego#By_train|San Diego]]. The segment of this route closest or parallel to the I-5 corridor is between Simi Valley and San Diego. Passengers continue south towards the Mexican border in San Ysidro on the [https://www.sdmts.com/schedules-real-time-maps-and-routes/trolley SDMTS 'UC San Diego Blue Line' Trolley] from the American Plaza Station, across the street the Santa Fe Station. :* '''[https://amtraksanjoaquins.com/ San Joaquins]''' Sacramento, Merced, [[Stockton]], [[Fresno]] and [[Bakersfield]]. Some trains on this route will go west towards Emeryville and Oakland from Stockton instead of continuing north to Sacramento. This route is then connected to Los Angeles from Bakersfield and from Stockton & Sacramento to Redding by Thruway buses via I-5. ===By bus=== {{see also|Long-distance bus travel in the United States}} There are several bus companies operating buses along the I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor with Greyhound, Flixbus and Fronteras del Norte serving the entire length while other companies operate buses along certain sections of the I-5 corridor in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon or Washington) or California to make the trip possible without a car: * {{listing | type=listing | name=Greyhound Lines, Bolt Bus, Cruceros USA | alt= | url=http://www.greyhound.com | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree=+1-800-231-2222 | hours= | price= | content=Travels along the entire I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor between [[Tijuana#By bus|Tijuana]], [[San Diego#By bus|San Diego]], [[Los Angeles#By bus|Los Angeles]], [[Sacramento#By bus|Sacramento]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By bus|Portland]], [[Seattle#By bus|Seattle]],[[Vancouver#By bus|Vancouver BC]] and several smaller cities/towns in between each of the above cities.

The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley. Cities served include [[Bakersfield]], [[Delano]], [[Tulare]], [[Visalia]], [[Kingsburg]], [[Selma_(California)|Selma]], [[Fresno]], [[Madera]], [[Yosemite National Park]], [[Merced]], [[Turlock]], [[Modesto]], [[Manteca]], [[Stockton]], [[Sacramento]], [[Yuba City]], and [[Chico]]. SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them).

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them).

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

{{pagebanner|Interstate 5 banner Kern County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state.

So going south the numbers on the mileposts will decrease and then start over at the highest number (276 in Washington, 308 in Oregon & 796 in California) when crossing a state line. The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111.

The I-5 corridor remains at 65 mph (104km/h) in rural areas and 55-60 mph in urban areas. The stretch of I-5 between Portland & Eugene is also at 55-60mph (88-100km/h) too. Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them).

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

banner Kern County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state. They run from Seattle to [[Vancouver]] via Everett, Stanwood, Mt Vernon & Bellingham twice daily and from Portland to Eugene via Oregon City, Salem & Albany twice daily. Additional service from Seattle to Vancouver and from Portland to Eugene are provided on the Amtrak Thruway Bus. :* '''[http://www.pacificsurfliner.com/ Pacific Surfliner]''' [[San Luis Obispo]], [[Santa Barbara]], [[Oxnard]], [[Los Angeles#By train|Los Angeles]] & [[San Diego#By_train|San Diego]]. The segment of this route closest or parallel to the I-5 corridor is between Simi Valley and San Diego. Passengers continue south towards the Mexican border in San Ysidro on the [https://www.sdmts.com/schedules-real-time-maps-and-routes/trolley SDMTS 'UC San Diego Blue Line' Trolley] from the American Plaza Station, across the street the Santa Fe Station. :* '''[https://amtraksanjoaquins.com/ San Joaquins]''' Sacramento, Merced, [[Stockton]], [[Fresno]] and [[Bakersfield]]. Some trains on this route will go west towards Emeryville and Oakland from Stockton instead of continuing north to Sacramento. This route is then connected to Los Angeles from Bakersfield and from Stockton & Sacramento to Redding by Thruway buses via I-5. ===By bus=== {{see also|Long-distance bus travel in the United States}} There are several bus companies operating buses along the I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor with Greyhound, Flixbus and Fronteras del Norte serving the entire length while other companies operate buses along certain sections of the I-5 corridor in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon or Washington) or California to make the trip possible without a car: * {{listing | type=listing | name=Greyhound Lines, Bolt Bus, Cruceros USA | alt= | url=http://www.greyhound.com | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree=+1-800-231-2222 | hours= | price= | content=Travels along the entire I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor between [[Tijuana#By bus|Tijuana]], [[San Diego#By bus|San Diego]], [[Los Angeles#By bus|Los Angeles]], [[Sacramento#By bus|Sacramento]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By bus|Portland]], [[Seattle#By bus|Seattle]],[[Vancouver#By bus|Vancouver BC]] and several smaller cities/towns in between each of the above cities.

The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley. Cities served include [[Bakersfield]], [[Delano]], [[Tulare]], [[Visalia]], [[Kingsburg]], [[Selma_(California)|Selma]], [[Fresno]], [[Madera]], [[Yosemite National Park]], [[Merced]], [[Turlock]], [[Modesto]], [[Manteca]], [[Stockton]], [[Sacramento]], [[Yuba City]], and [[Chico]]. SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them).

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

banner Kern County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them).

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state.

So going south the numbers on the mileposts will decrease and then start over at the highest number (276 in Washington, 308 in Oregon & 796 in California) when crossing a state line. The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111.

The I-5 corridor remains at 65 mph (104km/h) in rural areas and 55-60 mph in urban areas. The stretch of I-5 between Portland & Eugene is also at 55-60mph (88-100km/h) too. Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them).

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state. They run from Seattle to [[Vancouver]] via Everett, Stanwood, Mt Vernon & Bellingham twice daily and from Portland to Eugene via Oregon City, Salem & Albany twice daily. Additional service from Seattle to Vancouver and from Portland to Eugene are provided on the Amtrak Thruway Bus. :* '''[http://www.pacificsurfliner.com/ Pacific Surfliner]''' [[San Luis Obispo]], [[Santa Barbara]], [[Oxnard]], [[Los Angeles#By train|Los Angeles]] & [[San Diego#By_train|San Diego]]. The segment of this route closest or parallel to the I-5 corridor is between Simi Valley and San Diego. Passengers continue south towards the Mexican border in San Ysidro on the [https://www.sdmts.com/schedules-real-time-maps-and-routes/trolley SDMTS 'UC San Diego Blue Line' Trolley] from the American Plaza Station, across the street the Santa Fe Station. :* '''[https://amtraksanjoaquins.com/ San Joaquins]''' Sacramento, Merced, [[Stockton]], [[Fresno]] and [[Bakersfield]]. Some trains on this route will go west towards Emeryville and Oakland from Stockton instead of continuing north to Sacramento. This route is then connected to Los Angeles from Bakersfield and from Stockton & Sacramento to Redding by Thruway buses via I-5. ===By bus=== {{see also|Long-distance bus travel in the United States}} There are several bus companies operating buses along the I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor with Greyhound, Flixbus and Fronteras del Norte serving the entire length while other companies operate buses along certain sections of the I-5 corridor in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon or Washington) or California to make the trip possible without a car: * {{listing | type=listing | name=Greyhound Lines, Bolt Bus, Cruceros USA | alt= | url=http://www.greyhound.com | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree=+1-800-231-2222 | hours= | price= | content=Travels along the entire I-5/CA-Hwy 99 corridor between [[Tijuana#By bus|Tijuana]], [[San Diego#By bus|San Diego]], [[Los Angeles#By bus|Los Angeles]], [[Sacramento#By bus|Sacramento]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By bus|Portland]], [[Seattle#By bus|Seattle]],[[Vancouver#By bus|Vancouver BC]] and several smaller cities/towns in between each of the above cities.

The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise. [[File:California 99.svg|38px|frameless|left]] From its southern end near Wheeler Ridge (Exit 221 of I-5) to its northern end at SR 36 in Red Bluff, State Route (SR) 99 goes through the densely populated eastern parts of the valley. Cities served include [[Bakersfield]], [[Delano]], [[Tulare]], [[Visalia]], [[Kingsburg]], [[Selma_(California)|Selma]], [[Fresno]], [[Madera]], [[Yosemite National Park]], [[Merced]], [[Turlock]], [[Modesto]], [[Manteca]], [[Stockton]], [[Sacramento]], [[Yuba City]], and [[Chico]]. SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway.

The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111.

Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them).

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

{{pagebanner|Interstate 5 banner Kern County, CA.jpg|caption=Kern County, California}} [[File:I-5.svg|200px|frameless|right]] '''Interstate 5''' (I-5) is a [[United States]] interstate highway that starts at the border with [[Mexico]] in [[San Ysidro]], California and runs 1381 miles (2223 km) north through the states of [[California]], [[Oregon]] and [[Washington (state)|Washington]] to the border with [[Canada]] in [[Blaine]], Washington. It serves as an important north-south transportation corridor along the U.S west coast connecting the major cities of [[San Diego]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Portland_(Oregon)|Portland]], [[Tacoma]] and [[Seattle]]; the three state capitals of California ([[Sacramento]]), Oregon ([[Salem_(Oregon)|Salem]]) and Washington ([[Olympia_(Washington)|Olympia]]); and two additional major cities in neighboring countries ([[Tijuana]] & [[Vancouver]]) just over the international borders. ==Understand== Interstate 5 (I-5) replaces the former US Route 99 (Pacific Hwy Auto Trail from before 1926) from Blaine, WA to Los Angeles and the old US Route 101 from Los Angeles to San Diego, the main north-south route along the west coast. The old U.S. Highway 99 then continued east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to [[Indio]] CA. From Indio U.S. Highway 99 turns south towards the Mexican border in [[Calexico]], on CA-86, along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]; and from [[Brawley]] to Calexico on CA-111. Segments of the old US Highway 99 have been re-numbered as State Route 99 (SR-99) in Washington, Oregon and California. Other segments in Washington state have also have been renumbered as WA-11, WA-529 and WA-539; and as OR-273 & OR-66 between Ashland and the California border in Oregon. Other parts of the old Hwy 99 have been decommissioned altogether as a U.S. and state highway (not numbered) but are still represented by being named "Pacific Highway" (in OR & WA); "Golden State", "County Rd 99", "Old Highway 101" (in CA); "Old Highway 99" or by a different name (in all three states). The old Highway 99/101 can serve as an alternate scenic drive alongside the present I-5 corridor in rural areas while passing through urban areas (or in small towns) as local streets. It is accessible from I-5 through multiple exits in all three states. Because of its continuity and its close proximity to the I-5 corridor, in most places, the old Highway 99/101 can also serve as an alternate route around a traffic jam on I-5 due to a collision or some other blockage. There are other sections of the old Highway 99 that are decommissioned as a road for vehicle travel and are used primarily as walking and bicycling trails. There are no toll segments on the "Freeway". ==Prepare== {{see also|Driving in the United States}} You'll obviously need to bring a vehicle, but there is nothing really necessary for the route unless you want to eat your own food or you're coming from another country, in which case you might need passports, for example, to [[Interstate 5#Get in|get in]]. ==Get in== Interstate 5 continues north as BC-Hwy 99 to [[Cache Creek]] through [[Vancouver]], the [[Sunshine Coast_(British Columbia)|Sunshine Coast]] and [[Whistler]] from the Canadian/U.S. border in [[Blaine]], Washington, and south to [[Cabo San Lucas]] through [[Tijuana]] and [[Ensenada]] in the Baja California Peninsula as Mexico Federal Hwy 1 from the U.S./Mexican border in [[San Ysidro]], California. I-5 intersects other major US interstate highways diverging to/from different directions such as I-15 and I-8 in [[San Diego]]; I-10 in [[Los Angeles]]; I-80 in [[Sacramento]]; I-84 in [[Portland (Oregon)|Portland]]; I-90 in [[Seattle]] and various three digit interstates (serving as local auxiliary highways), state and U.S highways in the three states it passes through. ===By plane=== {{see also|Air travel in the United States}} The Interstate 5 corridor can be accessed by plane through [[San Diego#By plane|San Diego]], [[Santa Ana (California)#By plane|Santa Ana]], [[Burbank#Get in|Burbank]], [[Sacramento#By plane|Sacramento]], [[Medford_(Oregon)#By plane|Medford]], [[Portland (Oregon)#By plane|Portland]], [[Seattle-Tacoma International Airport|Seattle]], [[Everett_(Washington)#By plane|Everett]] and [[Bellingham (Washington)#By plane|Bellingham]] with airports next to or near the freeway. In other cities, such as [[Los Angeles International Airport|Los Angeles]] and [[Long Beach#By plane|Long Beach]] the airport can be further away (20-40 mi/32-64 km) from the I-5 corridor on another highway. From outside the U.S. the I-5 corridor is also accessed from [[Vancouver#By plane|Vancouver International Airport]] and [[Tijuana#By plane|Tijuana's General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport]]. ==Go== ===By train=== {{see also|Rail travel in the United States}} [http://www.amtrak.com Amtrak] operates trains "more or less" along the Interstate 5 corridor serving the major west coast cities. Some segments are further away such as the segment from Emeryville to Oxnard in California while other parts of the route are practically next to the freeway such as the segment between Longview and Centralia in Washington state. The following routes operate along the I-5 corridor: :* '''[http://www.amtrak.com/coast-starlight-train Amtrak Coast Starlight]''' runs once daily between [[Los Angeles#By_train|Los Angeles]] and [[Seattle#By_train|Seattle]] via [[Portland (Oregon)#By_train|Portland]], Klamath Falls, Redding, [[Sacramento#By_train|Sacramento]], [[Oakland#By_train|San Francisco Bay Area]], Salinas, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Simi Valley and Van Nuys. It runs parallel with the ''Cascades'' between Seattle and Eugene with the same stops (except Tukwila, [[Vancouver_(Washington)|Vancouver, Washington]], and Oregon City) and between San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles with the ''Pacific Surfliner'' only with fewer stops. (see below) :* '''[[Amtrak Cascades]]''' runs between Seattle and Portland four times daily serving Tukwila, Tacoma, Lacey (Olympia), Centralia and Kelso in Washington state.

So going south the numbers on the mileposts will decrease and then start over at the highest number (276 in Washington, 308 in Oregon & 796 in California) when crossing a state line. The exit numbers correspond with the mileposts so some numbers may be skipped if the exits are further apart from one to the next. Other exits that are one next to the other or "2 in 1" may have the same exit number followed by an "A", "B" or even a "C" such as "Exit #100A" to get on A St, "Exit #100B" to get on B St and so forth. === [[California]] === The maximum speed limit is 70 mph (112 km/h) for cars & 55 mph (88 km/h) for large trucks on rural stretches and 65 mph (104 km/h) in urban areas or lower if posted otherwise.

SR 99 replaces US Route 99 between Wheeler Ridge and Sacramento and US Route 99E from Sacramento to Red Bluff (as the Golden State Freeway). Interstate 5 bypasses the Central Valley along its western edge between Wheelers Ridge and Sacramento and replaces US Route 99W between Sacramento and Red Bluff as the Westside Freeway. <br> [[File:US_99_(CA_historic).svg|38px|frameless|left]] [[File:Business_Loop_5_(CA).svg|38px|frameless|left]] Historically US Route 99 splits in Sacramento at the present junction of State Route (SR) 99 and US Route 50. US Route 99W goes west from Sacramento to Davis along I-80 (formerly US Hwy 40), from Davis to Woodland on Road 99, and alongside I-5 from Woodland to Red Bluff. The old US Route 99E goes east along I-80/US Route 50 to Roseville. SR-65 from Roseville to Olivehurst; SR-70 from Olivehurst to Yuba City and on the Golden State Freeway (present day CA-99) from Yuba City to Red Bluff. The remaining segments in northern California, to Oregon, have been decommissioned as a US or state highway except SR 273 through Anderson and Redding; SR 263 and a section of SR 96 between Holbrook and Yreka; or as Business Loop (BL) 5 through different towns along the way in northern California. In southern California the old Highway 99 continues east along the present Interstate 10 from Los Angeles to Indio and than SR 86 from Indio to Brawley along the western shores of the [[Salton Sea]]. From Brawley to the Mexican border in Calexico the Old Hwy 99 follows SR-111. In everywhere else the Old Hwy 99 exists as local roads/streets named "Old Highway 99", "State Highway 99W", "Golden State", "Road 99" or by a different name from a time before the Golden State Freeway (US Route 99/99E, Los Angeles to Red Bluff) and the Cascade Wonderland Freeway (from Red Bluff to the Oregon border) were built in the 1940s through the 1950s which are described throughout this article in the below: ==== [[San Diego County|San Diego area]] ==== * {{listing | name=[[San Diego/San Ysidro|San Ysidro]] | alt=Mile 0 | url= | email= | address= | lat=32.54419 | long=-117.03218 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=San_Ysidro,_San_Diego | image=CBP_San_Diego_Operations_-_San_Ysidro_(28601995876).jpg | wikidata=Q3471654 | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Border crossing. }} :* {{listing | name=[[File:I-805.svg|25px]] North (NB); Camino de la Plaza (SB) | alt=Exit 1A | url= | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2016-01-15 | content=Interstate 805 serves as a local auxillary/by-pass highway that continues {{mile|32}} around to the [[San_Diego/Mid-City|eastside]] through the North Park, Mission Valley, Clairemont, and University City neighborhoods.

Interstate travelers in Oregon should be aware that it is illegal to pump your own gas in the counties through which I-5 passes (although Oregon law changed in 2018 to allow stations in certain counties to offer self-service, I-5 doesn't pass through any of them).

If it is winter, it is wise to check the weather conditions at the [https://www.tripcheck.com/TextPages/RCreport.asp?curRegion=7 Siskiyou pass] before crossing the border from California into Oregon. Snowy conditions are not uncommon, and officials usually close the road if things become too dangerous. A closure can be waited out in the Shasta or Redding area on the California side, or Ashland and Medford on the Oregon side. It is also possible to detour along the coast. == Alternative routes == Alternatives for traveling north/south through California include US-Hwy 101, [[El Camino Real]] and the [[Pacific Coast Highway]] in the west, or US-Hwy 395 along the [[Eastern Sierra]] and east of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington. All of these are more scenic and interesting routes but are much longer and slower and are more of a journey to experience than just for getting from A to B. SR-99, US-395, US-Hwy 101 and Old Hwy 99/Pacific Hwy are also local streets/roads at slower speeds through some of the cities and towns they pass through. In some places the de-commissioned "Old Hwy 99" can have a different local street name rather than "Pacific Hwy" or "Old Highway 99". ==Go next== {{routebox | image1=I-5.svg | imagesize1=22 |

Uni is my main priority, hence why my activity here is best summarised as ''"varyingly active"''. You will mostly find me here, as well as NLWikipedia and Commons from time to time. I don't often go far from home, and am not much of a globetrotter myself.

Road networks */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Highway 401 banner.jpg}} '''Driving in [[Canada]]''' is one of the best ways to savour the sights of this vast country. While you can certainly get by without a car in the major cities, many scenic smaller towns and parks are only accessible by car. ==Understand== [[File:Transcanadienne2.jpg|thumb|Signage to the Trans-Canadian highway in Manitoba]] The history of automobile travel in Canada is inextricably linked to its southern neighbour, the [[United States]], to the point where border town [[Windsor (Ontario)|Windsor]]-[[Detroit]] was historically a metonym for the entire North American automobile industry. The Canadian automobile market had long been dominated by American companies, and driving culture is for the most part very similar to that of the United States. Like the United States, Canada is a very car-dependent country, and most adult Canadians own cars. While the cities of [[Toronto]], [[Montreal]] and [[Vancouver]] can be traversed using public transport, in most other places a car is almost essential due to the infrequency or even absence of public transport. Unlike in the United States, all road signs in Canada use metric units. Distance and speed are marked in kilometres and kilometres per hour. Most American cars have speedometers that display both units but if yours doesn't, keep in mind that one mile is about 1.6 km. Like their American neighbours, Canadians drive on the right in left-hand drive cars. Most rental cars are automatic transmission. Stick-shift (manual transmission) cars are rarely available unless you have made special arrangements in advance. Although Canada is the second largest country in the world by land area after Russia, its population is only about one tenth that of the United States. Most of that population is concentrated within 200 km from the US border. Outside the [[Windsor-Quebec corridor]], distances are often vast and easy to underestimate; you may have to travel hundreds, or even thousands of kilometres before you can see the next trace of civilization. Motorists who wish to head off the beaten track need to be prepared for the elements, especially during Canada's notoriously harsh winters, and a [[mobile telephones|satellite phone]] may be worthwhile investment if you are travelling to really remote areas. ===Automobile clubs=== The largest motoring group in Canada is the '''[http://www.caa.ca/ Canadian Automobile Association (CAA)]''', which is comprised of numerous regional [[automobile association|automobile clubs]] located throughout the country. Their services to members include roadside assistance and maps, a travel agency and discounts at various establishments. It is worth considering getting in touch with your local club before you set off on a road trip, as their assistance can be valuable in the event of something unexpected. The CAA also has reciprocal agreements with motoring groups in other countries, so some of their services may be available to travellers who are members of their local motoring group back home. American Automobile Association (AAA) members may obtain the three CAA/AAA TourBooks (Western Canada, Ontario, Quebec-Atlantic) from their home club stateside. ==Signage== The most noticeable difference for travellers may be the language of road signage; road signs are in English in most of the country, in [[French phrasebook|French]] in [[Quebec]], bilingual in English and French in [[New Brunswick]] and [[Ottawa]], and bilingual in English and the local indigenous language (such as [[Inuktitut phrasebook|Inuktitut]]) in [[Nunavut]]. Aside from the language, the design of Canadian road signs is fairly consistent throughout the country and similar to that of the United States. In Quebec, while road signs are solely in French, for the most part their meaning is obvious. ==Traffic laws== Driving laws in Canada are regulated at the provincial level, and rules of the road vary slightly from province to province. Differences in driving laws between the provinces are, for the most part, fairly minor. [[File:RCMP IRSU Ford Taurus PI.jpg|thumb|Traffic enforcement unit car of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police]] * Pedestrians have the right of way at intersections and crosswalks, provided they are not crossing against a signal. * In Canada, you must always yield to a police car, fire truck, or ambulance when their emergency lights are flashing – if they are approaching from behind, you must pull to the right and stop. * Private vehicles displaying flashing green lights in Ontario are volunteer fire fighters responding to an emergency, and should be yielded to as a matter of common sense. * In many jurisdictions, including British Columbia, motorists are also required to slow down and move into a non-adjacent lane when passing a stopped emergency vehicle. Slowing to 60&nbsp;km/h is the norm on a highway. * The use of hand-held mobile devices while driving is banned in all provinces. Yukon is considering such a ban as well. Use of hands-free devices while driving is legal throughout Canada, although the Canadian Automobile Association is lobbying for such a ban. Some provinces such as Alberta expand upon this basic ban with Distracted Driving laws that also forbid other activities such as reading maps, doing makeup, and programming on-board GPS systems while driving. * Some provinces have blood alcohol limits of 0.05%. The national Criminal Code limit is 0.08% – a foreign national exceeding this can expect to be fined heavily and deported – See respect below. Police in some provinces such as B.C. and Alberta may impound vehicles temporarily if the driver is between 0.05% and 0.08%, even though this doesn't violate national laws. Most provinces have "Checkstop" programs in place—these are randomly placed police checkpoints, usually set up at night, during which an officer will ask motorists of they've been drinking and gauge based upon their response and other factors whether to initiate further roadside sobriety or breathalyser tests. If you encounter one while driving—and assuming you ''haven't'' been drinking—in most cases you'll be let through after only a few seconds, though you may be asked to show your driver's licence (have your car rental agreement handy too, if it's requested). * During winter, a flashing blue light usually identifies a snow removal vehicle in the six eastern provinces. Snow removal vehicles in the four western provinces use amber lights. * In British Columbia, a (slow) flashing green light means the traffic light is green (you can go) but it is controlled by the pedestrian. The light will remain flashing green until a pedestrian pushes the button to cross the street; when you see a flashing green light, traffic coming towards you will also see a flashing green light. In Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia, a (fast) flashing green light indicates advanced turn, signalling the driver can make a left hand turn across oncoming traffic because oncoming traffic has a red light. * Most provinces allow studded tires in the winter months (roughly October 15 to April 15; depends on the province), and some provinces allow studded tires all year; however, southern Ontario prohibits them year-round. * In British Columbia, there are many roads, mainly in mountain passes, which require vehicles to be equipped with winter tires or carry chains from October 1 to April 30. * In Quebec, winter tire use is mandatory for all taxis and passenger vehicles from December 15 to March 15. (This applies only to vehicles registered in the province; tourists driving into the province can use all season tires.) Canadian winter tires have the mountain snowflake logo on the sidewall. Except for Quebec, Canadian rental (hire) cars do not routinely come with winter tires, but vehicles with winter tires are often available by request. ===Licences=== [[File:International Driving Permit-ROK.jpg|thumb|An International Driving Permit (design may vary by issuing country) is necessary if your driving licence isn't in English or French]] All drivers in Canada are required to have a valid licence. While the precise requirements vary from province to province, foreigners in Canada on tourist or business visas are generally allowed to drive with their foreign licence for the duration of their stay provided their licence is in English or French. Foreign licences in other languages must be accompanied by an International Driving Permit (IDP) or an official translation before they can be used. Foreigners on longer term visas (e.g. work, student or permanent residence visas) are usually allowed to drive in Canada on their foreign licence for 3-6 months depending on their province of residence, after which they will have to obtain a Canadian licence from the province they reside in. Driver's licences are issued by the respective province and territory governments, and licensing laws vary from province to province. Most foreigners will be required to sit for theory and practical tests before they can obtain a Canadian licence, and the list of countries whose licence holders are exempted from testing requirements varies from province to province. As new Canadian drivers are usually required to go through a graduated licensing process, be sure to obtain an extract of your driving record from the issuing authority of your foreign licence before arriving in Canada, as many provinces require proof of your driving experience in order to exempt you from the full process. All Canadian provinces require motorists to carry proof of liability insurance and the car's registration papers in the vehicle. If you are driving a rented car, the rental agreement will suffice for those. ===Drunk driving=== Canada has very strict laws on drunk driving, which is not just a traffic violation, but a very serious social taboo and a criminal offence in Canada. Under provincial highway traffic acts, the legal maximum blood alcohol level ranges from 0.04 in [[Saskatchewan]] to 0.08 in [[Alberta]] and [[Quebec]] (80 mg of alcohol in 100 mL of blood). Canada's federal Criminal Code allows criminal charges for anything above 0.08 and compels drivers to provide a breathalyser sample, with offenders being subject to fines and imprisonment. As a foreigner, a drunk driving conviction will almost certainly mean deportation, and a ban from re-entering Canada for at least 5 years. Even if you do not exceed the legal limit, you can still be charged for drunk driving if the police have reasonable grounds to believe that you are intoxicated (e.g. if you are caught driving erratically, or if you are involved in an accident). Similarly, driving while under the influence of drugs is not tolerated in Canada, and is treated in the same way as drunk driving. ===Traffic lights=== Just like in the United States, with the exception of the Island of [[Montreal]], turning right on a red light is legal in Canada provided you first come to a complete stop before entering the intersection, and yield to all cross traffic entering the intersection, unless specifically prohibited by signage. ===Speed limits=== Speed limit signs in Canada are in general similar in design to those in the United States, except that the speeds are marked in km/h instead of mph. In the absence of signage, the default speed limit on urban roads is 45 km/h in the Northwest Territories and 50 km/h (~30 mph) anywhere else. On rural highways, the default speed limit is 50 km/h in the Yukon, 80 km/h (~50 mph) in British Columbia and Ontario, 100 km/h (~60 mph) in Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador, the Northwest Territories and Saskatchewan, and 90 km/h anywhere else. For those not used to driving in North America look out for playground and school signs as these are not automatically on your vision radar. Within playground and school zones, that is roads passing by one, the limit will be 30 km/h (~20 mph), although this may only be at particular times. With the exception of a few jurisdictions in Western Canada, radar detectors are banned in most Canadian provinces. A few provinces (Quebec and Alberta in particular) are infamous for using photo radar to mass-generate tickets which are sent not to the driver but to the vehicle's owner, long after the alleged offence - effectively compromising the ability of the hapless motorist to defend themselves against the accusations. Red light cameras exist in a few large cities. ===School buses=== As in the United States, you are required to stop when you see a school bus picking up or letting off passengers regardless of which side of the road you are on. You are allowed to pass a stopped school bus from the opposite direction in a divided highway, except in British Columbia, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut and Prince Edward Island. ==Road networks== [[File:Yellowhead Highway - panoramio.jpg|thumb|Impressive view of Mt Robson on the Yellowhead Highway in British Columbia]] The road network in Canada is less developed than that of the United States, largely owing to its lower population density. Freeways are ubiquitous around major cities, as well as along the densely populated Windsor-Quebec corridor. Elsewhere, Canadian intercity highways are mostly either four-lane divided highways (2 in each direction) or two-lane undivided highways. The [[Trans-Canada Highway]] is Canada's national highway. It is a network of paved ("sealed") provincial highways connected to each other that span the length of the country from [[Victoria (British Columbia)|Victoria]], [[British Columbia]] to [[St. John's]], [[Newfoundland and Labrador]]. However, there are no bridges connecting [[Vancouver Island]] or Newfoundland to the mainland, meaning that you will have to cross the sea by car ferry. The Trans-Canada Highway is not equivalent to the iconic US Interstate System insofar as it is unfortunately not a freeway for much of its length. In the northern Arctic regions of the country, the road network is considerably less developed, with only a few roads linking the main population centres with major cities in the south. There are no roads into [[Nunavut]] from the other provinces and territories, and no roads connecting the different population centres within Nunavut; the only way to get there with your car would be to ship it over on a freighter in the summer months. When driving through the expanses of Canada keep an eye out for changes of road colour ahead, even on numbered roads they can change from tarmacked to stone-gravel road surfaces without any warning. If you do hit one at speed, do not brake or turn quickly until you have your speed down. ===City driving=== With the exception of [[Vancouver]], most major Canadian cities have a system of urban freeways that allow rapid driving from the city centre to the suburbs. Driving habits in Canadian cities are similar to that in most other Western cities, and congestion can be expected during the morning and evening peak hours. Particularly in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, parking in the city centre can be hard to find and expensive, and you may want to consider leaving your car in a garage and using public transport instead. === Logging roads === If you go a little off the main roads, be careful on roads used by logging trucks. These trucks require the full road and tend to drive very fast. Be aware of milepost marking on the sides of the road, by which other road users will be transmitting their position on CB. Also keep a look out for dust clouds, and pull over to the side of the road when you do see them. === Toll roads === [[File:Electronic Toll Equipment in Ontario.jpg|thumb|Toll gantry on Highway 407 in Ontario]] Toll roads are less common in Canada than in the United States; a difference which is more than made up for by Canada's high fuel taxes. There are a few notable exceptions. On a per-km basis, Highway 407, which bypasses [[Toronto]] by going north into [[York Region]], is one of the most expensive in North America (though it's a godsend for long-distance travellers through the Toronto area who are keen on avoiding the ever-present, sometimes hours-long traffic snarls on Highway 401). [[Nova Scotia]] operates one toll on the [[Trans-Canada Highway]] at the Cobequid Pass, despite imposing fuel taxes which are a nickel a litre higher than neighbouring [[New Brunswick]]. Access to islands such as [[Prince Edward Island]], [[Newfoundland]] or [[Vancouver Island]] by car will inevitably incur ferry or bridge tolls. Although not strictly toll roads, if you drive through a national park, for example Highway 1 [[Trans-Canada Highway]] through [[Banff National Park]], you will have to pay the park fee if you intend to stop or park your vehicle within the park boundaries. === Fuel === Fuel in Canada is sold by the litre; there are 4.5 litres in an imperial gallon, or 3.78 litres in a U.S. gallon. Fuel taxes, while not as high as those in Europe, are painful by US standards. Montreal Island, [[Quebec City]] and Vancouver tax fuel heavily in an attempt to force local commuters onto public transit. Fuel in remote areas (such as [[Labrador]]) tends to be the most expensive in the nation. In some remote locations (such as the [[Trans-Labrador Highway]] or the [[James Bay]] Road) the distance to the next filling station may be more than 400 km (250 miles). Don't set out without a full tank (and preferably a spare can), as well as enough supplies to survive stranded for hours if the vehicle breaks down. === Distances === Do not underestimate distances between towns. It is easy to forget when you arrive by plane in a major Canadian city with a gas station on every corner that once you get out into the country you can drive for a number of hours without coming across a large settlement. Make sure you have a full tank of fuel and drinking water before a journey of any length. == Stay safe == [[Image:Gros Morne NP 03.jpg|thumb|Moose collisions can be deadly]] [[Image:2019-05-31 Pepsi delivery truck in "turnpike double" configuration on Queen Elizabeth II Highway south north of Lacombe 0092.jpg|thumb|A double semi-trailer on Alberta Highway 2]] One of the reasons for visiting Canada is for the great outdoors and the wildlife. Be aware however that the wildlife does not always stay in the woods; keep an eye out for bears, deer, elk and mountain goats on the road. A moose on the highway is a Newfoundland stop sign and [[animal collisions]] can be deadly. [[Winter driving]] can be dangerous due to [[ice safety|snow and ice]]. Peak afternoon traffic travels in darkness for most Canadians in winter; blowing snow further lowers visibility on slippery roads during storms. A few remote communities rely on ice roads across frozen lakes or rivers; under the wrong conditions, taking a vehicle onto the open ice can be suicide. In mountainous areas in winter, roads may sometimes be closed due to avalanche conditions. Be careful driving near heavy trucks, particularly in the Prairies. Keep an adequate distance from them, watch for spray that can damage your windshield, and pass them with care. In the Prairies and rarely in other provinces, there are also a lot of double semi-trailers – much like Australia's road trains – on the highways; these can be at the form of B-trains or two {{m|16.2}} semi-trailers, and can reach {{m|38}} in length. Take extra care to look out for pedestrians, Canadians expect people to be polite and expect cars to stop for them even when they step out into the road unexpectedly without looking. ==See also== *[[Driving in the United States]] ===Itineraries=== *[[Trans-Canada Highway]] *[[Icefields Parkway]] *[[Yellowhead Highway]] *[[Trans-Labrador Highway]] and [[Quebec Route 389]] *[[Alaska Highway]] and [[Dempster Highway]] {{usabletopic}} {{PartOfTopic|Driving|Canada}} byyedxikaycmt9zh51v8z2ak96vtiun 4495692 4495686 2022-08-05T12:45:15Z LPfi 79572 /* Road networks */ not that unfortunate wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Highway 401 banner.jpg}} '''Driving in [[Canada]]''' is one of the best ways to savour the sights of this vast country.

With the exception of a few jurisdictions in Western Canada, radar detectors are banned in most Canadian provinces. A few provinces (Quebec and Alberta in particular) are infamous for using photo radar to mass-generate tickets which are sent not to the driver but to the vehicle's owner, long after the alleged offence - effectively compromising the ability of the hapless motorist to defend themselves against the accusations. Red light cameras exist in a few large cities. ===School buses=== As in the United States, you are required to stop when you see a school bus picking up or letting off passengers regardless of which side of the road you are on. You are allowed to pass a stopped school bus from the opposite direction in a divided highway, except in British Columbia, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut and Prince Edward Island. ==Road networks== [[File:Yellowhead Highway - panoramio.jpg|thumb|Impressive view of Mt Robson on the Yellowhead Highway in British Columbia]] The road network in Canada is less developed than that of the United States, largely owing to its lower population density. Freeways are ubiquitous around major cities, as well as along the densely populated Windsor-Quebec corridor. Elsewhere, Canadian intercity highways are mostly either four-lane divided highways (2 in each direction) or two-lane undivided highways. The [[Trans-Canada Highway]] is Canada's national highway. It is a network of paved ("sealed") provincial highways connected to each other that span the length of the country from [[Victoria (British Columbia)|Victoria]], [[British Columbia]] to [[St. John's]], [[Newfoundland and Labrador]]. However, there are no bridges connecting [[Vancouver Island]] or Newfoundland to the mainland, meaning that you will have to cross the sea by car ferry. It is a freeway only for small parts of its length. In the northern Arctic regions of the country, the road network is considerably less developed, with only a few roads linking the main population centres with major cities in the south. There are no roads into [[Nunavut]] from the other provinces and territories, and no roads connecting the different population centres within Nunavut; the only way to get there with your car would be to ship it over on a freighter in the summer months. When driving through the expanses of Canada keep an eye out for changes of road colour ahead, even on numbered roads they can change from tarmacked to stone-gravel road surfaces without any warning. If you do hit one at speed, do not brake or turn quickly until you have your speed down. ===City driving=== With the exception of [[Vancouver]], most major Canadian cities have a system of urban freeways that allow rapid driving from the city centre to the suburbs. Driving habits in Canadian cities are similar to that in most other Western cities, and congestion can be expected during the morning and evening peak hours. Particularly in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, parking in the city centre can be hard to find and expensive, and you may want to consider leaving your car in a garage and using public transport instead. === Logging roads === If you go a little off the main roads, be careful on roads used by logging trucks. These trucks require the full road and tend to drive very fast. Be aware of milepost marking on the sides of the road, by which other road users will be transmitting their position on CB. Also keep a look out for dust clouds, and pull over to the side of the road when you do see them. === Toll roads === [[File:Electronic Toll Equipment in Ontario.jpg|thumb|Toll gantry on Highway 407 in Ontario]] Toll roads are less common in Canada than in the United States; a difference which is more than made up for by Canada's high fuel taxes. There are a few notable exceptions. On a per-km basis, Highway 407, which bypasses [[Toronto]] by going north into [[York Region]], is one of the most expensive in North America (though it's a godsend for long-distance travellers through the Toronto area who are keen on avoiding the ever-present, sometimes hours-long traffic snarls on Highway 401). [[Nova Scotia]] operates one toll on the [[Trans-Canada Highway]] at the Cobequid Pass, despite imposing fuel taxes which are a nickel a litre higher than neighbouring [[New Brunswick]]. Access to islands such as [[Prince Edward Island]], [[Newfoundland]] or [[Vancouver Island]] by car will inevitably incur ferry or bridge tolls. Although not strictly toll roads, if you drive through a national park, for example Highway 1 [[Trans-Canada Highway]] through [[Banff National Park]], you will have to pay the park fee if you intend to stop or park your vehicle within the park boundaries. === Fuel === Fuel in Canada is sold by the litre; there are 4.5 litres in an imperial gallon, or 3.78 litres in a U.S. gallon. Fuel taxes, while not as high as those in Europe, are painful by US standards. Montreal Island, [[Quebec City]] and Vancouver tax fuel heavily in an attempt to force local commuters onto public transit. Fuel in remote areas (such as [[Labrador]]) tends to be the most expensive in the nation. In some remote locations (such as the [[Trans-Labrador Highway]] or the [[James Bay]] Road) the distance to the next filling station may be more than 400 km (250 miles). Don't set out without a full tank (and preferably a spare can), as well as enough supplies to survive stranded for hours if the vehicle breaks down. === Distances === Do not underestimate distances between towns. It is easy to forget when you arrive by plane in a major Canadian city with a gas station on every corner that once you get out into the country you can drive for a number of hours without coming across a large settlement. Make sure you have a full tank of fuel and drinking water before a journey of any length. == Stay safe == [[Image:Gros Morne NP 03.jpg|thumb|Moose collisions can be deadly]] [[Image:2019-05-31 Pepsi delivery truck in "turnpike double" configuration on Queen Elizabeth II Highway south north of Lacombe 0092.jpg|thumb|A double semi-trailer on Alberta Highway 2]] One of the reasons for visiting Canada is for the great outdoors and the wildlife. Be aware however that the wildlife does not always stay in the woods; keep an eye out for bears, deer, elk and mountain goats on the road. A moose on the highway is a Newfoundland stop sign and [[animal collisions]] can be deadly. [[Winter driving]] can be dangerous due to [[ice safety|snow and ice]]. Peak afternoon traffic travels in darkness for most Canadians in winter; blowing snow further lowers visibility on slippery roads during storms. A few remote communities rely on ice roads across frozen lakes or rivers; under the wrong conditions, taking a vehicle onto the open ice can be suicide. In mountainous areas in winter, roads may sometimes be closed due to avalanche conditions. Be careful driving near heavy trucks, particularly in the Prairies. Keep an adequate distance from them, watch for spray that can damage your windshield, and pass them with care. In the Prairies and rarely in other provinces, there are also a lot of double semi-trailers – much like Australia's road trains – on the highways; these can be at the form of B-trains or two {{m|16.2}} semi-trailers, and can reach {{m|38}} in length. Take extra care to look out for pedestrians, Canadians expect people to be polite and expect cars to stop for them even when they step out into the road unexpectedly without looking. ==See also== *[[Driving in the United States]] ===Itineraries=== *[[Trans-Canada Highway]] *[[Icefields Parkway]] *[[Yellowhead Highway]] *[[Trans-Labrador Highway]] and [[Quebec Route 389]] *[[Alaska Highway]] and [[Dempster Highway]] {{usabletopic}} {{PartOfTopic|Driving|Canada}} 0hi29wj2ck8159v9yjsga6tae37lwhq 4495695 4495692 2022-08-05T13:01:16Z SHB2000 2248002 Australians and New Zealanders know what paved means (and is sometimes used interchangeably with sealed) ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/User:Jon Harald Søby/diffedit|diffedit]]) wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Highway 401 banner.jpg}} '''Driving in [[Canada]]''' is one of the best ways to savour the sights of this vast country. While you can certainly get by without a car in the major cities, many scenic smaller towns and parks are only accessible by car. ==Understand== [[File:Transcanadienne2.jpg|thumb|Signage to the Trans-Canadian highway in Manitoba]] The history of automobile travel in Canada is inextricably linked to its southern neighbour, the [[United States]], to the point where border town [[Windsor (Ontario)|Windsor]]-[[Detroit]] was historically a metonym for the entire North American automobile industry. The Canadian automobile market had long been dominated by American companies, and driving culture is for the most part very similar to that of the United States. Like the United States, Canada is a very car-dependent country, and most adult Canadians own cars. While the cities of [[Toronto]], [[Montreal]] and [[Vancouver]] can be traversed using public transport, in most other places a car is almost essential due to the infrequency or even absence of public transport. Unlike in the United States, all road signs in Canada use metric units. Distance and speed are marked in kilometres and kilometres per hour. Most American cars have speedometers that display both units but if yours doesn't, keep in mind that one mile is about 1.6 km. Like their American neighbours, Canadians drive on the right in left-hand drive cars. Most rental cars are automatic transmission. Stick-shift (manual transmission) cars are rarely available unless you have made special arrangements in advance. Although Canada is the second largest country in the world by land area after Russia, its population is only about one tenth that of the United States. Most of that population is concentrated within 200 km from the US border. Outside the [[Windsor-Quebec corridor]], distances are often vast and easy to underestimate; you may have to travel hundreds, or even thousands of kilometres before you can see the next trace of civilization. Motorists who wish to head off the beaten track need to be prepared for the elements, especially during Canada's notoriously harsh winters, and a [[mobile telephones|satellite phone]] may be worthwhile investment if you are travelling to really remote areas. ===Automobile clubs=== The largest motoring group in Canada is the '''[http://www.caa.ca/ Canadian Automobile Association (CAA)]''', which is comprised of numerous regional [[automobile association|automobile clubs]] located throughout the country. Their services to members include roadside assistance and maps, a travel agency and discounts at various establishments. It is worth considering getting in touch with your local club before you set off on a road trip, as their assistance can be valuable in the event of something unexpected. The CAA also has reciprocal agreements with motoring groups in other countries, so some of their services may be available to travellers who are members of their local motoring group back home. American Automobile Association (AAA) members may obtain the three CAA/AAA TourBooks (Western Canada, Ontario, Quebec-Atlantic) from their home club stateside. ==Signage== The most noticeable difference for travellers may be the language of road signage; road signs are in English in most of the country, in [[French phrasebook|French]] in [[Quebec]], bilingual in English and French in [[New Brunswick]] and [[Ottawa]], and bilingual in English and the local indigenous language (such as [[Inuktitut phrasebook|Inuktitut]]) in [[Nunavut]]. Aside from the language, the design of Canadian road signs is fairly consistent throughout the country and similar to that of the United States. In Quebec, while road signs are solely in French, for the most part their meaning is obvious. ==Traffic laws== Driving laws in Canada are regulated at the provincial level, and rules of the road vary slightly from province to province. Differences in driving laws between the provinces are, for the most part, fairly minor. [[File:RCMP IRSU Ford Taurus PI.jpg|thumb|Traffic enforcement unit car of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police]] * Pedestrians have the right of way at intersections and crosswalks, provided they are not crossing against a signal. * In Canada, you must always yield to a police car, fire truck, or ambulance when their emergency lights are flashing – if they are approaching from behind, you must pull to the right and stop. * Private vehicles displaying flashing green lights in Ontario are volunteer fire fighters responding to an emergency, and should be yielded to as a matter of common sense. * In many jurisdictions, including British Columbia, motorists are also required to slow down and move into a non-adjacent lane when passing a stopped emergency vehicle. Slowing to 60&nbsp;km/h is the norm on a highway. * The use of hand-held mobile devices while driving is banned in all provinces. Yukon is considering such a ban as well. Use of hands-free devices while driving is legal throughout Canada, although the Canadian Automobile Association is lobbying for such a ban. Some provinces such as Alberta expand upon this basic ban with Distracted Driving laws that also forbid other activities such as reading maps, doing makeup, and programming on-board GPS systems while driving. * Some provinces have blood alcohol limits of 0.05%. The national Criminal Code limit is 0.08% – a foreign national exceeding this can expect to be fined heavily and deported – See respect below. Police in some provinces such as B.C. and Alberta may impound vehicles temporarily if the driver is between 0.05% and 0.08%, even though this doesn't violate national laws. Most provinces have "Checkstop" programs in place—these are randomly placed police checkpoints, usually set up at night, during which an officer will ask motorists of they've been drinking and gauge based upon their response and other factors whether to initiate further roadside sobriety or breathalyser tests. If you encounter one while driving—and assuming you ''haven't'' been drinking—in most cases you'll be let through after only a few seconds, though you may be asked to show your driver's licence (have your car rental agreement handy too, if it's requested). * During winter, a flashing blue light usually identifies a snow removal vehicle in the six eastern provinces. Snow removal vehicles in the four western provinces use amber lights. * In British Columbia, a (slow) flashing green light means the traffic light is green (you can go) but it is controlled by the pedestrian. The light will remain flashing green until a pedestrian pushes the button to cross the street; when you see a flashing green light, traffic coming towards you will also see a flashing green light. In Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia, a (fast) flashing green light indicates advanced turn, signalling the driver can make a left hand turn across oncoming traffic because oncoming traffic has a red light. * Most provinces allow studded tires in the winter months (roughly October 15 to April 15; depends on the province), and some provinces allow studded tires all year; however, southern Ontario prohibits them year-round. * In British Columbia, there are many roads, mainly in mountain passes, which require vehicles to be equipped with winter tires or carry chains from October 1 to April 30. * In Quebec, winter tire use is mandatory for all taxis and passenger vehicles from December 15 to March 15. (This applies only to vehicles registered in the province; tourists driving into the province can use all season tires.) Canadian winter tires have the mountain snowflake logo on the sidewall. Except for Quebec, Canadian rental (hire) cars do not routinely come with winter tires, but vehicles with winter tires are often available by request. ===Licences=== [[File:International Driving Permit-ROK.jpg|thumb|An International Driving Permit (design may vary by issuing country) is necessary if your driving licence isn't in English or French]] All drivers in Canada are required to have a valid licence. While the precise requirements vary from province to province, foreigners in Canada on tourist or business visas are generally allowed to drive with their foreign licence for the duration of their stay provided their licence is in English or French. Foreign licences in other languages must be accompanied by an International Driving Permit (IDP) or an official translation before they can be used. Foreigners on longer term visas (e.g. work, student or permanent residence visas) are usually allowed to drive in Canada on their foreign licence for 3-6 months depending on their province of residence, after which they will have to obtain a Canadian licence from the province they reside in. Driver's licences are issued by the respective province and territory governments, and licensing laws vary from province to province. Most foreigners will be required to sit for theory and practical tests before they can obtain a Canadian licence, and the list of countries whose licence holders are exempted from testing requirements varies from province to province. As new Canadian drivers are usually required to go through a graduated licensing process, be sure to obtain an extract of your driving record from the issuing authority of your foreign licence before arriving in Canada, as many provinces require proof of your driving experience in order to exempt you from the full process. All Canadian provinces require motorists to carry proof of liability insurance and the car's registration papers in the vehicle. If you are driving a rented car, the rental agreement will suffice for those. ===Drunk driving=== Canada has very strict laws on drunk driving, which is not just a traffic violation, but a very serious social taboo and a criminal offence in Canada. Under provincial highway traffic acts, the legal maximum blood alcohol level ranges from 0.04 in [[Saskatchewan]] to 0.08 in [[Alberta]] and [[Quebec]] (80 mg of alcohol in 100 mL of blood). Canada's federal Criminal Code allows criminal charges for anything above 0.08 and compels drivers to provide a breathalyser sample, with offenders being subject to fines and imprisonment. As a foreigner, a drunk driving conviction will almost certainly mean deportation, and a ban from re-entering Canada for at least 5 years. Even if you do not exceed the legal limit, you can still be charged for drunk driving if the police have reasonable grounds to believe that you are intoxicated (e.g. if you are caught driving erratically, or if you are involved in an accident). Similarly, driving while under the influence of drugs is not tolerated in Canada, and is treated in the same way as drunk driving. ===Traffic lights=== Just like in the United States, with the exception of the Island of [[Montreal]], turning right on a red light is legal in Canada provided you first come to a complete stop before entering the intersection, and yield to all cross traffic entering the intersection, unless specifically prohibited by signage. ===Speed limits=== Speed limit signs in Canada are in general similar in design to those in the United States, except that the speeds are marked in km/h instead of mph. In the absence of signage, the default speed limit on urban roads is 45 km/h in the Northwest Territories and 50 km/h (~30 mph) anywhere else. On rural highways, the default speed limit is 50 km/h in the Yukon, 80 km/h (~50 mph) in British Columbia and Ontario, 100 km/h (~60 mph) in Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador, the Northwest Territories and Saskatchewan, and 90 km/h anywhere else. For those not used to driving in North America look out for playground and school signs as these are not automatically on your vision radar. Within playground and school zones, that is roads passing by one, the limit will be 30 km/h (~20 mph), although this may only be at particular times. With the exception of a few jurisdictions in Western Canada, radar detectors are banned in most Canadian provinces. A few provinces (Quebec and Alberta in particular) are infamous for using photo radar to mass-generate tickets which are sent not to the driver but to the vehicle's owner, long after the alleged offence - effectively compromising the ability of the hapless motorist to defend themselves against the accusations. Red light cameras exist in a few large cities. ===School buses=== As in the United States, you are required to stop when you see a school bus picking up or letting off passengers regardless of which side of the road you are on. You are allowed to pass a stopped school bus from the opposite direction in a divided highway, except in British Columbia, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut and Prince Edward Island. ==Road networks== [[File:Yellowhead Highway - panoramio.jpg|thumb|Impressive view of Mt Robson on the Yellowhead Highway in British Columbia]] The road network in Canada is less developed than in the United States, largely owing to its lower population density.

When driving through the expanses of Canada keep an eye out for changes of road colour ahead, even on numbered roads they can change from tarmacked to stone-gravel road surfaces without any warning. If you do hit one at speed, do not brake or turn quickly until you have your speed down. ===City driving=== With the exception of [[Vancouver]], most major Canadian cities have a system of urban freeways that allow rapid driving from the city centre to the suburbs.

The region consists of the municipalities of '''Vlagtwedde''' and '''Bellingwedde''', that plan to merge and become the municipality of Westerwolde in 2018. Westerwolde is a rural area with about 30 villages and hamlets. The largest village in the region is '''Ter Apel''' (population 6,000), with the other main villages being Vlagtwedde, Sellingen, Bellingwolde and Blijham. A small, but touristic village is [[Bourtange]], which consists of a star-shaped fort. In some definitions, the municipality of Stadskanaal is also part of Westerwolde. However, Stadskanaal is also part of the [[Veenkoloniën]] (''Peat District''), and described in that article. ==Understand== [[File:Oudeschans klapbrug.jpg|thumb|Part of the fortifications of Oudeschans]] The Westerwolde region is in the southeast of the province of Groningen, bordering [[Germany]] (the [[Western Plains (Lower Saxony)|Western Plains]]) to the east and [[Drenthe]] province to the south. The region is famous for the fortified villages of Oudeschans and especially [[Bourtange]]. Just as in other relatively remote regions of the Netherlands, Westerwolde suffers from a declining and ageing population. === Tourist information === There are four tourist information centres in the region. A fifth tourist office for Westerwolde is located in the larger town of [[Veenkoloniën|Stadskanaal]]. In addition to these tourist offices, there are various 'tourist info agencies', i.e. restaurants, drugstores, campsites, or museums that provide tourist information. For an overview of such agencies, see the website of [http://westerwolde.groningen.nl/en/region-westerwolde/tourist-information-westerwolde/offices-and-agencies-of-tourist-info-westerwolde Tourist Info Westerwolde]. * {{Listing|name=Tourist Info Vlagtwedde|alt=|url=http://toerisme.groningen.nl/over-groningen/vvv-informatie/alle-vvvs-in-stad-en-provincie-groningen/tourist-info-vlagtwedde/1622|email=|address=Dr. P.

From the exit at Haren, expressway B408 leads to Ter Apel, and from exit Dörpen local roads lead to Bourtange. From the [[Groningen|city of Groningen]] (and the nearest airport, [http://www.groningenairport.nl Groningen Airport Eelde]), the fastest route to the northern part of Westerwolde is via the A7, exit Winschoten (Groningen to the village of Blijham takes about 30 minutes). To the southern part of Westerwolde, the fastest route is via the A7 (to [[Midden-Groningen|Zuidbroek]]) and N33 (to Veendam), followed by several trunk roads. From Groningen city to the village of Ter Apel, the drive takes about 50 minutes. From destinations in the south and west of the Netherlands, the fastest way is via Emmen (A37). For example, from [[Schiphol Airport]] the drive takes about 2.5 hours. === By public transport === Being a relatively remote and sparsely populated region, access by public transport is rather limited. There is no railway station in Westerwolde, the nearest railway stations being in [[Oldambt|Winschoten]] in the north (with local trains to [[Groningen|Groningen city]]) and [[Emmen]] in the south (with local trains to [[Zwolle]]). There are some useful bus routes into the Westerwolde region, all operated by [http://www.qbuzz.nl Qbuzz]: * '''Bus route 12''' (1x/hour): from [[Oldambt|Winschoten]] to Westerwolde (''Bellingwolde'', ''Blijham''). * '''Bus route 14''' (1x/hour): from Winschoten via Westerwolde (''Blijham'', ''Wedde'', ''Vlagtwedde'') to [[Veenkoloniën|Stadskanaal]]. * '''Bus route 42''' (1-2x/hour) from [[Emmen]] to Westerwolde (''Ter Apel'', sometimes to ''Sellingen'', ''Bourtange'', ''Vlagtwedde''). * '''Bus route 73''' (1x/hour) from [[Groningen]] via [[Midden-Groningen|Hoogezand]], Stadskanaal, Westerwolde (''Ter Apelkanaal'', ''Ter Apel'') and Nieuw Weerdinge to Emmen. ==Get around== [[File:Ruiten-Aa-Kanaal JUL17 03.jpg|thumb|View of the Ruiten-Aa-kanaal seen from the Sellingerbrug.]] {{Mapframe|53.005|7.1406|zoom=10|height=400|width=300|layer=MLSCG|align=right|name=Westerwolde}} {{mapshape|wikidata=Q27768267}} Westerwolde is, like much of [[Drenthe]] and Groningen, covered in canals. These canals, originally used for transporting peat, which the region contained, nowadays allow for an easy connection from city to city, as most of the cities formed and grew along these canals. Canals such as the ''Ruiten-Aa-kanaal'', however, do contain a lot of locks, as well as many bridges, many of which are manually operated. On a good day, however, this is well compensated by the weather, view and ease of transport by boat. If you qualify to rent a boat or own one yourself, then consider exploring the region by boat. For those that do not have access to a boat, a bike is a typical way of exploring the Netherlands. The road network is well-maintained, bike routes are in high quantities, both for citybikes and mountainbikes. Don't own one or unable to bring one? Some bike repair shops rent out bikes as well. By far the biggest one in the region is {{listing|name=Rolfes Sports|url=http://www.rolfessports.com/service.php?paginaID=15|lat=52.92880|long=7.01549}} in Musselkanaal. For something closer-by, simply asking at the service desk of your hotel or campsite, as well as a tourist office can help you find one in your vicinity. Some of the hotels and campsites also offer bike rental. For a day, costs are around €15, for a week about €75. ==See== === Fortifications === * {{see | name=Fort Bourtange | alt=Vesting Bourtange | url=http://www.bourtange.nl/ | email= | address=Willem Lodewijkstraat 33, Bourtange | lat=53.00663 | long=7.19255 | directions=From Vlagtwedde, follow the N365 heading for Bourtange.

Most of the villages are quite small, with some hundred to some thousand inhabitants for the above mentioned parish villages. Towns in the vicinity include [[Turku]] in the south-west, [[Uusikaupunki]] in the north-west, [[Loimaa]] in the north-east, and [[Salo]] in the south-east. In contrast to the southern coast, the region is monolingually Finnish. English is spoken as elsewhere in Finland. The climate resembles that of southern Finland in general, but is somewhat more continental than on the coast, with more reliable snow cover in winter. The region borders (clockwise) [[Satakunta]] in the north, [[Tavastia Proper]] in the east, and [[Salo]], [[Turku]] and the [[Vakka-Suomi countryside|Vakka-Suomi]] region (with [[Uusikaupunki]]) of [[Finland Proper]]. ==Get in== [[File:Härkätietä kultelassa.JPG|thumb|Section of ''Hämeen härkätie''.]] ===By train=== Loimaa has a station on the [[Turku]]–[[Tampere]] railway, with a train most hours in daytime, and Highway 9 leads from there to Turku through the region. [[Salo]] is on the [[Helsinki]]–Turku railway, with similar services. Especially Turku, but also Salo and Loimaa, can be good starting points for a visit. ===By bus=== Coaches to [[Turku]] from [[Tampere]], [[Hämeenlinna]], [[Pori]] and [[Uusikaupunki]] pass through the region, which means it has quite good connections. From [[Helsinki]], you mostly have to transfer in Turku or Salo. Many of these buses are express services, not necessarily stopping exactly where you are going, unless you are visiting the main villages. There are also some other services. See [http://www.matkahuolto.fi/en Matkahuolto] for the coach connections. Vahto (as part of Rusko) has [[Turku#By bus 2|Föli buses]]. The Föli buses to Tortinmäki (in summer onwards to the Kuhankuono stop) can get bikers reasonably close to e.g. Aura. ===By car=== [[E8 through Finland and Norway|National road 8 (E8)]] passes through Masku, Nousiainen and Mynämäki, continuing through [[Vakka-Suomi countryside|Vakka-Suomi]] towards [[Rauma]], [[Pori]] and [[Vaasa]]. Highway 9 between Turku and [[Tampere]] passes by Lieto and through Aura, Kyrö (near Pöytyä), Mellilä and Loimaa. Highway 10 between Turku and [[Hämeenlinna]] passes through Lieto, by Tarvasjoki and through Marttila and Koski. The [[Hämeen Härkätie]], partly following the same route, was along with the [[King's Road (Finland)|King's Road]] by the southern coast the main road of medieval Finland, with much of its history preserved. National road 2 between [[Helsinki]] and [[Pori]] passes north of Loimaa. Other important roads include national road 41 from Aura via Pöytyä and Oripää towards Virttaa and Huittinen, regional road 204 from Lieto via Kurjenrahka national park and Yläne towards Säkylä and Eura, regional road 213 from highway 10 and Ypäjä via Loimaa and Alastaro to Säkylä, and road 192 (Kustavintie) via Lemu and Mietoinen to Kustavi, with a fork to Askainen. ==Get around== Coaches travel along the main roads and sparsely along some other roads. A few roads are served by the Föli buses, see above. The main villages are decently served, but many places rely on own car, bike, taxi or school buses. ===By taxi=== * {{listing | type=go | name=Taksi Länsi-Suomi | alt= | url=http://www.taksilansisuomi.fi | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+358 100 0700 (shared cost number) | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit= | content=The traditionally dominant call centre in the region. }} * Valopilkku (national app by Taxi Helsinki) * 02 Taksi (national app) ===By bicycle=== There are older roads running more or less in parallel with the main roads, in decent condition but with much less traffic (and usually more interesting surroundings). Also some connecting roads offer similar connections. Thus reaching points of interest by bike is often easy, if you have a decent map. [[Hämeen Härkätie]] is one such recommended route. The main roads are best avoided, especially in the dark, in rain and in winter, except sections with separate biking lanes – and the biking lanes often follow the former main road. Those with terrain bikes might want to use the terrain bike route from Turku to the national park (much harder than the other routes, but you have the choice). There may be a biking map available. ==See== [[File:Yläne Church 07.JPG|thumb|Yläne church.]] Old churches and cultural landscapes * {{see | name=Aura Church | alt= | url= | email= | address=Turuntie 437 | lat=60.6091 | long=22.5624 | directions=Prunkkala/Kirkonkulma, Aura | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata= | lastedit= | content=Church from 1804. }} * {{see | name=Saint Henry's Church | alt=Nousiainen Church | url=https://www.nousiaistenseurakunta.fi/kirkko-ja-tilat/pyhan-henrikin-kirkko | email= | address=Kirkkotie 212 | lat=60.6161 | long=22.1285 | directions= | phone=+358 44 431 8549 | tollfree= | hours=Services Su 10:00 and at special occasions, otherwise open by agreement | price= | wikidata=Q1686569 | lastedit= | content=An important example of Finnish medieval church architecture.

The region can be a nice sidetrip from [[Turku]], for biking or activities such as [[canoeing]] or [[Horse riding|horseback riding]]. Sights include the manor of Louhisaari and stops of the St. Henrik pilgrimage route. ==Villages== {{mapframe}} <!--[[File:Myllylähde Alastaro 2.jpg|thumb|Myllylähde in Alastaro.]]--> Most of the important villages are or were formerly municipal centres, and still have their (former) parish churches. * Alastaro, with a motor sports centre * Aura, with popular dances in the winter season * Koski * Marttila (S:t Mårtens) * Mellilä * Nousiainen (Nousis), which had the bishop seat of Finland until 1229 * Oripää * Pöytyä (Pöytis) * Vahto * Yläne, with Luontokapinetti nature exhibition and hiking services ==Other destinations== [[File:Bäck och tuvull Lammenrahka 2013.jpg|thumb|Cottongrass in [[Kurjenrahka National Park]].

Most of the villages are quite small, with some hundred to some thousand inhabitants for the above mentioned parish villages. Towns in the vicinity include [[Turku]] in the south-west, [[Uusikaupunki]] in the north-west, [[Loimaa]] in the north-east, and [[Salo]] in the south-east. In contrast to the southern coast, the region is monolingually Finnish. English is spoken as elsewhere in Finland. The climate resembles that of southern Finland in general, but is somewhat more continental than on the coast, with more reliable snow cover in winter. The region borders (clockwise) [[Satakunta]] in the north, [[Tavastia Proper]] in the east, and [[Salo]], [[Turku]] and the [[Vakka-Suomi countryside|Vakka-Suomi]] region (with [[Uusikaupunki]]) of [[Finland Proper]]. ==Get in== [[File:Härkätietä kultelassa.JPG|thumb|Section of ''Hämeen härkätie''.]] ===By train=== Loimaa has a station on the [[Turku]]–[[Tampere]] railway, with a train most hours in daytime, and Highway 9 leads from there to Turku through the region. [[Salo]] is on the [[Helsinki]]–Turku railway, with similar services. Especially Turku, but also Salo and Loimaa, can be good starting points for a visit. ===By bus=== Coaches to [[Turku]] from [[Tampere]], [[Hämeenlinna]], [[Pori]] and [[Uusikaupunki]] pass through the region, which means it has quite good connections. From [[Helsinki]], you mostly have to transfer in Turku or Salo. Many of these buses are express services, not necessarily stopping exactly where you are going, unless you are visiting the main villages. There are also some other services. See [http://www.matkahuolto.fi/en Matkahuolto] for the coach connections. Vahto (as part of Rusko) has [[Turku#By bus 2|Föli buses]]. The Föli buses to Tortinmäki (in summer onwards to the Kuhankuono stop) can get bikers reasonably close to e.g. Aura. ===By car=== [[E8 through Finland and Norway|National road 8 (E8)]] passes through Masku, Nousiainen and Mynämäki, continuing through [[Vakka-Suomi countryside|Vakka-Suomi]] towards [[Rauma]], [[Pori]] and [[Vaasa]]. Highway 9 between Turku and [[Tampere]] passes by Lieto and through Aura, Kyrö (near Pöytyä), Mellilä and Loimaa. Highway 10 between Turku and [[Hämeenlinna]] passes through Lieto, by Tarvasjoki and through Marttila and Koski. The [[Hämeen Härkätie]], partly following the same route, was along with the [[King's Road (Finland)|King's Road]] by the southern coast the main road of medieval Finland, with much of its history preserved. National road 2 between [[Helsinki]] and [[Pori]] passes north of Loimaa. Other important roads include national road 41 from Aura via Pöytyä and Oripää towards Virttaa and Huittinen, regional road 204 from Lieto via Kurjenrahka national park and Yläne towards Säkylä and Eura, regional road 213 from highway 10 and Ypäjä via Loimaa and Alastaro to Säkylä, and road 192 (Kustavintie) via Lemu and Mietoinen to Kustavi, with a fork to Askainen. ==Get around== Coaches travel along the main roads and sparsely along some other roads. A few roads are served by the Föli buses, see above. The main villages are decently served, but many places rely on own car, bike, taxi or school buses. ===By taxi=== * {{listing | type=go | name=Taksi Länsi-Suomi | alt= | url=http://www.taksilansisuomi.fi | email= | address= | lat= | long= | directions= | phone=+358 100 0700 (shared cost number) | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikipedia= | wikidata= | lastedit= | content=The traditionally dominant call centre in the region. }} * Valopilkku (national app by Taxi Helsinki) * 02 Taksi (national app) ===By bicycle=== There are older roads running more or less in parallel with the main roads, in decent condition but with much less traffic (and usually more interesting surroundings). Also some connecting roads offer similar connections. Thus reaching points of interest by bike is often easy, if you have a decent map. [[Hämeen Härkätie]] is one such recommended route. The main roads are best avoided, especially in the dark, in rain and in winter, except sections with separate biking lanes – and the biking lanes often follow the former main road. Those with terrain bikes might want to use the terrain bike route from Turku to the national park (much harder than the other routes, but you have the choice). There may be a biking map available. ==See== [[File:Yläne Church 07.JPG|thumb|Yläne church.]] Old churches and cultural landscapes * {{see | name=Aura Church | alt= | url= | email= | address=Turuntie 437 | lat=60.6091 | long=22.5624 | directions=Prunkkala/Kirkonkulma, Aura | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata= | lastedit= | content=Church from 1804. }} * {{see | name=Saint Henry's Church | alt=Nousiainen Church | url=https://www.nousiaistenseurakunta.fi/kirkko-ja-tilat/pyhan-henrikin-kirkko | email= | address=Kirkkotie 212 | lat=60.6161 | long=22.1285 | directions= | phone=+358 44 431 8549 | tollfree= | hours=Services Su 10:00 and at special occasions, otherwise open by agreement | price= | wikidata=Q1686569 | lastedit= | content=An important example of Finnish medieval church architecture.

A car is usually the most practical vehicle for moderate distances {{nowrap|(10–300 km)}} in the countryside. In big cities, street congestion often makes [[public transportation]] and [[Urban cycling|cycling]] better options. On long distances, rail or air travel is usually faster between cities, and [[Intercity buses in Europe|intercity buses]] often cheaper. ==Understand== [[File:DK8 Radzymin Słupno 2 2017.jpg|thumb|National road 8 in Poland]] Driving can be an enjoyable and feasible way to see the countryside and smaller cities. As the process of obtaining a driver's licence is a lot harder than in the U.S. or many developing countries, for example, and as there are plenty of alternatives to driving especially in urban areas, those who do drive tend to be confident and comfortable with driving. However, driving culture varies widely between countries. In centres of bigger cities, driving is seldom a good option: there may be congestion charges, parking is expensive and hard to find, there may be low-emission zones and other limitations, congestion and one-way streets make driving difficult, and public transport tend to be good. Also walking and biking (perhaps with a subsidised bike-sharing system) are serious alternatives for many cities. Many European cities have a compact central area that can be covered on foot. In cities such as Paris, Brussels, Berlin or Amsterdam, even Helsinki, many residents do not own a car. Cars are usually in good working order as most European countries have requirements for a regular check-up to ensure all cars on the road meet minimum safety standards. Starting from Sweden and the Netherlands, policies to increase road safety to a goal of ''zero'' traffic fatalities have spread through Europe and are gaining ground. Those "Vision Zero" policies manifest in different ways, but aim to discourage risky behaviour and build infrastructure in such a way that mistakes are less likely and their consequences less severe. Sweden, Norway and several other countries have since the 1970s seen a steady and substantial decline in fatal accidents. While many roads are in very good conditions, small roads may not be well built and maintained, and in some countries and in remote areas elsewhere, also more important roads may be potholed and uneven, and some may not be paved. In winter and spring driving can be challenging because of snow and ice, especially in the extreme north and in the mountains. ===Interacting with police=== Many traffic violations have "automatic enforcement" – speeding tickets will be issued based on a stationary or mobile speeding camera and many traffic lights have a built-in camera to detect red light violations. Traffic police will still stop cars from time to time to check whether the driver's licence, registration and other things are up to date. They may also perform breath tests for alcohol, particularly around drunk driving "hotspots" such as beer festivals or discos. In general, they do not expect interactions with motorists to turn violent and are usually polite but professional in those interactions. While there are no border controls in the Schengen Area and no customs barriers within the EU, police will stop and search cars on the highways looking for drugs and sometimes also checking up on the immigration status of the people in the car. While some fines can still be paid on the spot (you'll be issued a receipt) concerns with corruption have increasingly led to you getting issued a "ticket" with instructions where and how to pay and many fines are simply delivered by mail to the address under which the car is registered. In many countries, fines are ''never'' paid on the spot.<!--something on how fines work if you're driving a rental--> ===Bribery=== In most countries of western, northern, and central Europe a traffic officer asking for a bribe, or locals trying to bribe a police officer, is more or less unthinkable. A bribery attempt will be treated as a serious offence. Nevertheless, in eastern and southern parts of Europe, the risk of [[Corruption and bribery|corrupt officers]] asking for bribes may arise — for local specifics see the country articles. ==Paperwork== * Original registration document for the car is compulsory. * Motor vehicle insurance certificate is compulsory. * A black and white, 1–3 letter country identity sticker is compulsory, although a number plate that includes the country code suffices in most countries. In particular, such number plates from EU suffice in any EU country. ===Driver's licence=== [[File:Projekt_nowego_prawa_jazdy.png|thumb|Polish driving licence, a typical harmonised European driving licence; front and back side]] In most European countries, you are required to carry your driving licence when driving, in some cases accompanied by the [[Driving#Drivers' license|International Driving Permit]] (IDP). While the latter is not compulsory for certain nationalities in some European countries, it is cheap and could save you from nasty incidents with authorities in some. Countries outside EU have not harmonised their rules. See the individual country articles. Rules on driver's licences from non-EU countries vary widely also inside the EU, but in general they are valid for short stays. In some countries the IDP may be required. There may be more strict requirements. The local minimum age for driving will usually override a foreign driving licence. Almost everywhere, especially in the EU, you need to be at least 18 years old to drive, even supervised. In countries with learning schemes, it's usually an exhaustive and expensive procedure to get a permit, and rarely applicable to foreign citizens anyway. Exceptions include Portugal, Ireland and the UK. The [[European Union]] has a standardised driver's licence. A licence obtained in one EU country is valid in the entire EU – if the holder satisfies general requirements, such as age – even if the holder moves to a different one. To obtain a driver's licence in a particular member country, you must be a resident of that country for a period of at least 180 days. Two exceptions to the rule on EU driver's licences: * If you convert a foreign licence to an EU one and then move to a different country, you may be required to convert the licence again (or obtain a full EU licence by taking a driving test). * Expiration is governed by the country of residence, not the issuing country. For example, German licences issued before 2013 do not expire, but if a holder of such a licence moves to Italy, that licence can be used in Italy for a maximum of 10 years (the validity period in Italy beginning with the first day of residence for non-Italian licences). There may occasionally be issues with law enforcement refusing to recognise old licences issued by other EU members before the EU model was introduced (or before these countries joined the EU), even if they are still valid. It is safest to exchange these licences for a new one. === Insurance === Insurance is not only sensible, but in all European countries third party insurance is mandatory. The EU requires that any motor vehicle insurance taken out in any member state automatically meets the minimum insurance requirement in any other EU country. EEA countries as well as the United Kingdom are also party to this agreement. If you are travelling across borders of countries that are outside this scheme (such as Russia), you will need to get a "Green Card", which is proof of your insurance in a standard format. You can get one from your insurance company. The required insurance is mainly about damages to another party. To cover your own losses (and compensation to your car hiring firm) in case of an accident, you need additional voluntary insurance. ==Equipment== {{see also|Winter driving}} * A warning triangle is compulsory nearly everywhere, as is using it in case of breakdowns. * First-aid kits are compulsory in certain countries. * Carrying high-visibility (reflective) vests in cars is compulsory in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Serbia and Spain and gaining popularity elsewhere. * Headlamp adjusters are compulsory equipment in most countries, but in the UK and Ireland only if you are driving a continental car. * Driving in winter or mountains, you may need winter tyres or chains. Legal requirements vary. Chains are mostly used in mountain passes, winter tyres in general wintry weather. Unstudded winter tyres are allowed anywhere; studded tyres or chains are forbidden in some countries and in some city areas elsewhere. ===Dash-cams=== Rules on use of video cameras mounted in the car ("dashcams") vary. If you consider using one, check the regulations of each country. * No restrictions beyond the usual road safety rules: Spain, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, UK, Latvia. (After a serious accident, the UK police will often ask the public who were not involved to check whether they captured the accident on a dash-cam). * Restricted to private use only: France and Belgium. * Completely banned: Austria and Portugal. ====Mobile telephones==== The use of hand-held mobile telephones is prohibited in most European countries while the use of hands-free phones is under review as of 2022. In many countries however, it is permitted to use mobile telephone (cell phones) as [[GPS navigation|satellite navigation]] devices provided that the device is mounted in a manner that the driver can safely view it without touching it. The intending driver should review the local laws before entering the country concerned. ==Renting a car== {{see also|Car rental}} If you plan to rent a car to drive around Europe, it often makes sense to check the rates in different countries rather than just getting a car in the country of arrival. The price differences can be substantial for longer rentals, to the extent that it can make sense to adjust your travel plans accordingly, e.g. if you plan on travelling around Scandinavia by car, it will often be much cheaper to fly into Germany and rent a car there. Compared to North America, you should be prepared for smaller, more fuel efficient cars, and most of them have manual transmission, so don't expect an automatic without requesting one when placing your order (and often paying extra). Some rental agencies also have stipulations in their contracts, prohibiting the rental of a car in one country and taking it to some others. It is for example common that a car rented in Germany may not be taken to Poland due to concerns of theft. This is less common the other way round, so if you are planning on visiting both countries by rental car, it might be easier (and cheaper) to rent a car in Poland and drive to Germany with it. ==Crossing borders== {{see also|Travelling around the Schengen Area}} In most of Europe [[border crossing|Crossing borders]] by car is a painless process, particularly between countries belonging to the [[Travelling around the Schengen Area|Schengen Area]]. Border controls are mostly smooth between all countries belonging to the [[European Union]] (EU), EEA and EFTA (which include the other Schengen countries), bordering [[European microstates#Microstates|microstates]] and the UK. This extends also to some degree to countries with ambitions to join the EU. Normally, in the Schengen Area, the only sign of crossing a border will be a sign welcoming you to the new country as well as a specific sign telling you the default national speed limits in pictogram form. However, rental car contracts may have limits on the countries the car can be taken to or on crossing any borders altogether. For other borders, such as between the EU and Russia or Belarus, or in the Caucasus, border crossings can be involved and slow, and there are countries with tense or even hostile relations to their neighbours. In countries with vignette-based tolls you should ideally get a vignette before crossing the border; alternatively they should be available at rest stops in the border area or at the border crossing. <gallery class="center" caption = "Crossing Borders" gallery widths = "200px" heights = "200px"> Image:Schengen Agreement map.svg|<div style="text-align: left;">{{legend|#9ccbe1|[[:en:Schengen Area|Schengen Area]]}}{{legend|#d19595|[[:en:Common Travel Area|Common Travel Area]]}}{{legend|#abdb98|To join Schengen Area later}}</div> Image:Bord grensovergang NL.svg|<div style="text-align: left;">Default speed limits in the country that you are entering: in this case the Netherlands built-up areas (50 km/h), rural roads (80 km/h), expressways (100 km/h) and motorways (130 km/h)</div> </gallery> ==Costs== <!-- <gallery style="float: right;" caption = "Paid parking is common" gallery widths = "150px" heights = "50px"> Image:Finland road sign 855b.svg|Here parking is free at nights and on Sundays (FI) Image:Latvia road sign 851.svg|This sign says that parking is paid on workdays 7:30-18:00 (LV) </gallery> --> '''Fuel''' is highly taxed in most EU and EFTA countries. As of January 2020, a litre of 95-octane petrol was about €1–1.50, 98-octane costed around 10% more; in June 2022 there were prices in the €2–2.50 range. These prices correspond to €3.75–9.50/US gallon. In [[Russia]] and other eastern non-EU countries fuel is around 30–40% cheaper. There may be significant price differences across national borders. '''Car rentals''' cost around €30/day and more, but in Eastern-European countries you may find cars as cheap as €10–15/day. [[Image:Belgische parkeerschijf naar Europees model.svg|thumb|upright=0.5|Typical parking disc (BE)]] The cost of '''parking''' varies greatly. In suburban areas on-street parking is often free, although in higher density areas free parking spots might be difficult to find. There may be free parking with a time limit (commonly ¼–2 hr), usually controlled by requiring the display of a parking disk that shows the time of arrival. Other areas charge for parking (both on-street and off-street). The costs of parking varies greatly from area to area and can be expensive in city centres (€2 per hour or more). '''Toll roads''', toll bridges and toll tunnels have a fee ("toll") assessed for passage. Tolls might well be different for private cars, busses, vans and HGVs (Heavy goods vehicles). Those are very common in some countries while absent from some, and some might be quite expensive for foreigners. While most surface roads are toll-free for private cars, trying to avoid toll roads is hardly ever worth it in either time or money even on the shortest transits. You may still prefer rural roads for the scenery and landscape. City centre '''congestion charges''', getting more common, are a separate cost. Toll systems vary widely.

The symbols identify how payment can be made at particular barrier. They include cash (lanes 1,2 and 3), telepass (lanes 1,2 and 5) and credit card (lane 5).]] [[France]] and [[Italy]] are examples of countries that have distance-based systems and France has a lot of private, for-profit highways. There are however sometimes bridges or tunnels with considerable tolls for relatively short distances and you might consider avoiding them for whatever reason. Some toll collection points are autonomous, and the user deposits money in a machine which opens the gate once the correct toll has been paid. To cut costs and minimise time delay, many tolls are collected with electronic toll collection equipment which automatically communicates with a toll payer's transponder or uses automatic number plate recognition to charge drivers by debiting their accounts. In Spain a seemingly indecipherable system exists where some highways are tolled and others aren't depending on whether the national government or the autonomous community built and operates them and sometimes other factors. Annoyingly tolls can often be "odd" amounts (like €5.31) and there might not always be an easy option of paying cashless. French toll booths timestamp receipts and if you moved so fast between two toll booths as to indicate speeding, you are automatically issued a ticket, even if you did not get caught by a speed camera. === Vignette tolls === Many countries have vignette-based systems. Vignette is a fixed fee for driving a vehicle on that country's highways (except Moldova, Bulgaria, and Romania where it includes non-highway roads). You need to buy it before you enter the country online or it can sometimes be bought at customs, some gas stations near the border, which used to be the norm but has now gotten rarer - when in doubt research online in advance. It is sometimes at least theoretically possible to avoid the vignette toll by avoiding highways, however you'll likely spend more in time and nerves than you could possibly save in tolls. Plus, countries like Austria frequently shut down local roads to non-local traffic during the peak season(s) in essence forcing people onto the highways and hence to pay the vignette toll. [[File:Vignette suisse 08.jpg|thumb|Swiss Vignette for the year 2008|100px]] In some countries, you pay the fee and receive a sticker to affix permanently to the windshield of your car. In other countries, physical stickers are unnecessary now. Your payment is recorded electronically and can be looked up automatically via the licence plate number (and will be, by licence-plate-reading cameras that automatically issue hefty fines against unpaid vehicles that have barely crossed the border). Rental cars usually have the necessary vignette for their country of origin but not for neighbouring countries, so be sure to ask. Most countries that use vignettes for light vehicles have long dismantled their tollbooths, so travelling in a vehicle over 3.5 t (buses, trucks) typically requires buying/renting a government-issued transponder or similar device (for example see Go Maut in Austria). The systems vary greatly even inside the EU. Some countries charge all types of vehicles, and some demand tolls based on some combinations of these parameters: number of axles, maximum weight, passenger number, vehicle height, and vehicle category. Tolling systems can be relatively flexible and cheap (only {{EUR|6}} in Lithuania for 24 hours transit) or quite expensive for foreigners (Switzerland only offers annual vignettes regardless of the origin of driver or car. As of 2022 the price was CHF40 ({{EUR|39}} {{GBP|33}})). Some Alpine passes have a separate toll, which you have to pay in addition to the general motorway toll, although in theory if your only toll road on your trip through the country is one of those, you don't have to pay for a general vignette. {| class="wikitable" !

Broadly speaking four types of road can be found in Europe, though the details vary greatly from country to country: *Urban roads which typically have a 50 km/h speed limit (30 mph in the Untied Kingdom) and pass through built-up areas. They vary from narrow medieval streets, through roads in built up areas to residential streets in suburbia. Increasingly, local authorities are placing 30 km/h (20 mph) speed limits in residential areas. *Rural single-carriageway roads which typically have a speed limit of 80 to 100 km/h. These roads vary from relatively high-speed routes that have since been bypassed by motorways to narrow country lanes where passing is difficult. *Dual-carriageway expressways which, while not motorways, might well have restrictions for certain types of slow-moving traffic. Their speed limits typically vary between 100 km/h to 130 km/h. Not all countries differentiate between expressways and rural single-carriageways. *Motorways, which are often known even amongst English-speaking travellers, as ''Autobahnen'' in Germany, ''autostrade'' in Italy, ''autoroutes'' in France and ''autopistas'' in Spain. In addition to the type of road, roads are also classified in accordance with their national or regional importance. These classifications are colour-coded for easy identification, though there are different schemes of colour coding – in particular green is used in the United Kingdom to denote primary routes and blue to denote motorways while in Italy those colours are interchanged. <gallery class="center" caption = "Motorway and expressway signs" gallery widths = "50px" heights = "50px"> Image:Finland_road_sign_E15.svg|Finland Image:CZ_traffic_sign_IZ1a.svg|Czechia Image:Autostrad%C4%83.svg|Romania Image:Autoroute F.svg|France </gallery><gallery class="center" gallery widths = "50px" heights = "50px"> Image:Finland_road_sign_E17.svg| Image:CZ_traffic_sign_IZ2a.svg| Image:Romania_road_sign_G17.svg| Image:France_road_sign_C107.svg| </gallery> Most medium and long-distance European roads are identified by a letter followed by a number that can be up to four digits in length. The exact format varies from country to country, though the letters A, B and C are frequently used. Moreover, specific letters can have different meanings in different countries for example in France and Italy the letter “A” denotes a principal motorway while in the United Kingdom the letter “A” denotes a primary road, which is usually ''not'' a motorway. In some countries, e.g. France and Italy, the letters tell whether the road is operated by the national government or by a lower tier of government. In the latter case, the road number might change when you cross from one province (or equivalent) to another. There is one road classification that is used throughout Europe – the E-route scheme. The “E routes” traverse Europe but are overlaid onto the national road system. The “E” route numbers replace or are shown alongside the associated national road number, for example, the Belgian A3 is part of the E40, but when the road crosses into Germany, the E40 continues along the German A44. Sometimes the European roads also cross over from one national road to another inside a country. <gallery class="center" caption = "Route confirmation signs" gallery widths = "200px" heights = "200px"> Image:DE A3 km193.jpg|Destination confirmation sign on the German A3 (part of E42) Image:Belgium A2 31km marker.JPG|Location marker on the Belgian A2 (part of the E314) </gallery> <!-- Proposed images - to be finalised File:Bundesautobahn 3 number.svg|A3 Autobahn (DE) File:UK-Motorway-M3.svg|M3 Motorway (UK) File:Autostrada A3 Italia.svg|A3 Autorstrada (IT) File:NL-A4.svg File:UK motorway symbol.svg|Motorway symbol (UK) File:UK road A1.svg|(A1 road sign (non-motorway) (UK) File:Motorway Sweden, Switzerland and Italy.svg (SV, CH and IT) File:Strada Statale 4 Italia.svg|SS4 (‘’Strada Statale’’ or “State road”) 4 (non-motorway) (IT) --> ==Road conditions== [[File:Regional road 945 gravel.jpg|thumb|Even in high-income countries, some regional roads may be of lesser quality: road 945 in [[Kemijärvi]]; gravel and 15% slope]] [[File:Latvian_regional_road_P86,_July_2020.jpg|thumb|Latvian regional road P86 in 2020, uneven and over-patched]] The ease of driving on the continent varies greatly, and, as a general rule, east and west of the erstwhile [[Cold War Europe|Iron Curtain]] are two different worlds. Western and Northern Europe for the most part has good road conditions and an extensive and well-developed highway network, whereas Eastern Europe is still working hard on the large backlog left from communist days. For example, in the Latvian capital Riga, not a single bridge has undergone maintenance since the fall of the Soviet Union, and there are still nine bridges that don't belong to anyone. Poland and, to a lesser extent, the Czech Republic have built a lot of highways since the fall of the Iron Curtain to cope with rising automobile ownership. Minor country roads are sometimes in bad shape also in countries with an otherwise well developed road network, such as England or Finland. The end of the Cold War caused a shift in traffic patterns with some road and rail connections now appearing oversized while others are still strained to the breaking point after years of upgrade and expansion. While drivers need to prepare for '''[[winter driving]]''' through the cold season in northern Europe and the high mountains, snow can occasionally disturb traffic even in the south. In general, snow and ice disrupt traffic more the less common it is in the affected area and the first snow of the season tends to have this effect to an even greater extent. Snow that might be shrugged off in Sweden in January may lead to total chaos on the roads and grind everything to a halt in Italy in November. During '''vacations''', especially during the summer and around major holidays such as [[Christmas and New Year travel|Christmas]], driving on the motorways (freeways) can be very tiring owing to high volumes of traffic. In France school summer holidays start on the same day all around the country and driving during that weekend should be avoided. See country articles for holiday calendars. '''Avoid large cities''' if you are not used to driving in Europe. Most central districts were built long before the introduction of automobiles, and were not meant to cope with the levels of car traffic common these days. So for the most part it may be a slow, frustrating and potentially dangerous experience, and even then, finding a parking spot can take a long time and cost several euros when you find it. Instead park on the outskirts of town, where it is often free, and use the (usually extensive) public transit system. If you are renting, try to "work around having a car" while visiting large cities. Getting a car into an [[Old Towns|old town]] can be physically impossible, prohibited, or at least very difficult. ==Low emission zones== [[File:Feinstaubplakette Gruppe 4.svg|thumb|upright=0.5|German "Euro 4" sticker]] In 1992 the European Union published regulations that place limitations on noxious components of motor vehicle exhaust fumes, which applied to all new cars registered in the EU. The 1992 regulations were known as the "Euro 1" regulations, the 1996 regulations as the "Euro 2" and so on. As of 2022, the most recent regulations, introduced in 2014, are the "Euro 6" regulations. In most cases, restrictions on older vehicles are defined using the oldest regulation to which they were built. Often different sets of regulations are used for diesel and petrol engines - typically as of 2022, London's regulations permitted diesel powered vehicles that complied with the "Euro 6" regulations (published in 2014) and petrol powered vehicles that complied with the "Euro 4" regulations (published 2005) to enter the Ultra Low Clean Air Zone free of charge. Many countries outside Europe such as Australia and certain Asian countries are modelling their own regulations on the European regulations. Many cities prohibit or impose tolls on older vehicles that do not meet a specified set of regulations. Some countries requires vehicles, including foreign vehicles, to display a sticker showing their emission classification when entering city centres. Such stickers can be bought from a variety of outlets after demonstrating that the vehicle meets the required standard. In most casse, it is sufficient that the vehicle was first registered after the specfied regulations came into force. Although the boundaries of clean air zones are clearly signposted there is no pan-European design for such signposts. The intended traveller is advised to research the "Clean Air" requirements before starting their journey especially if they are using their own vehicles. <gallery class="center" caption = "Selected 'Clean Air Zone' signs" gallery widths = "50px" heights = "70px"> Image: LOWEMZONEfeb08.PNG|London Image: Umweltzone gelb, grün frei.svg |Germany Image: PL road sign D-54.svg |Poland Image: Belgian traffic sign F117.svg |Belgium </gallery> ==Rules of the road== Traffic circulates on the right-hand side of the road, except in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Isle of Man, Guernsey, Jersey, Malta and Cyprus (all of which are islands). For the left-hand countries any references to right or left below might be reversed. Apart from the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey, all distances are in kilometres (km) and speed limits in kilometres per hour (km/h). ===Speed limits=== [[File:European Speed Limits.svg|thumb|right|Speed limits on highways in Europe]] Speed limits differ between countries and in the case of Belgium between Flanders and Wallonia. The fabled limitless German Autobahn is now confined to mostly rural sections. The majority of motorways/freeways have a {{kmh|110-130}} speed limit, while the limit on undivided highways varies between {{kmh|80}} and {{kmh|100}}. For North Americans, a major difference is the left lane on motorways, which is not the "fast lane" you're used to, but rather the "passing lane". It's illegal to overtake on the right (left in the British Isles). You should only occupy the fast lane when you are overtaking someone; stay there, and you will have other vehicles tailgating while flashing their lights in annoyance and traffic police eager to fine you. Remember to use turn signals when changing lanes The German autobahns are unique in having an "advisory" limit of 130 km/h when no other speed limit is in force. In practice such "advisory limits" are only found well away from large towns or cities. The signs denoting a lower speed limit on entry to a built-up area vary from country to coutnry. In some countries, such as the United Kingdom, speed limits are explicitly denoted, in others such as France and Germany, the name of the locality in a standarised format automatically declares a speed limit. Other countries might have more stylised entry signs, but they have the same effect. <gallery class="center" caption = "Speed restriction signs" gallery widths = "50px" heights = "50px"> Image:Zeichen 274-60 - Zulässige Höchstgeschwindigkeit, StVO 2017.svg|60 km/h Speed limit (DE) Image:France road sign B33 (50).svg|End of 50 km/h speed limit (FR) Image:Spain traffic signal r500.svg|End of all speed restrictions (ES) Image:Panneau d'entree d'agglomeration.jpg|Start of built up area.

Implied 50 km/h speed limit (SE) Image:Sweden road sign E6.svg|End of built-up area and implied 70 km/h speed limit (SE) </gallery> ===Priority at junctions=== Except for '''priority roads''' (check the yellow diamond symbols) in most continental countries, there is a general duty to give way to traffic from your right in crossings and intersections when order of priority is not settled by stop/yield signs, and other drivers have every expectation that you'll adhere to this. This also applies to unmarked T-intersections, unlike in North America, Australia or Japan, where the ending road should normally yield to the through road even if unmarked. Priority to the right does not necessarily apply to cars exiting petrol stations, parking areas, private driveways and similar. In the UK and Ireland, priority is almost always controlled by traffic lights or signage; if not, vehicles on the larger road have priority. [[File:Belisha Beacon.svg|thumb|100px|A Belisha beacon]] On the ubiquitous roundabouts (circles) you find in most countries, cars already in the circle always have right of way; don't give way to incoming drivers while on the roundabout, or you will mess up the system, potentially causing a nasty accident. Entry roads are usually also helpfully marked with yield signs. The exception is France, where cars in roundabouts have to yield. Roundabouts also carry a special round blue sign (similar to the recycling sign); circular intersections without that sign usually aren't roundabouts and might not even be one-way. Finally, don't turn right on red lights, it's illegal, and because it's not common practice, also dangerous. At zebra and pelican crossings, you must stop for pedestrians, who have right of way. In most countries these are marked by a blue triangular pedestrian crossing sign, but in Cyprus, Gibraltar, Ireland, Malta, and the UK, they're marked by a pair of Belisha beacons - a sort of flashing yellow lollipop on a stripy pole. This also applies when you are turning on a green light (unless there is a separate arrow light for those turning). Pedestrian behaviour varies widely, as do laws concerning jaywalking and priority away from junctions; in some countries, pedestrians have right of way at all times. Fast bikers usually rely on other traffic following rules and behaving predictably. Check your mirror before opening a door and use your indicators before turning and changing lanes, to warn bikers in blind spots. Be careful when your road crosses a cycleway (which may have priority) and when turning over a cycleway. <gallery class="center" caption = "Priority signs" gallery widths = "50px" heights = "50px"> File:Italian traffic signs - dare precedenza.svg|Give way (IT) File:NO road sign 204.svg|Stop (NO) File:NO road sign 212.svg|Give way to oncoming traffic (NO) File:NO road sign 214.svg|Oncoming traffic must give way (NO) File:Italian traffic signs - diritto di precedenza.svg|Priority road (IT) Image:Zeichen 307.svg|Priority road ends (DE) File:Latvia road sign 535.svg|Pedestrians on crossing have right of way (LV) </gallery> === Road signs=== Markings and signs are similar throughout Europe but variations in design and interpretations exist so it may be best to research each country individually before you travel. The most basic symbols are geometric shapes in accordance with the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, which is adhered to in large parts of the world. The signs differ markedly from those based on text, as used in some countries, and shapes and colours may differ also otherwise. The use of pictograms avoids most of the need to learn the local language for driving (there may still be specifications in text), but on the other hand, if you cannot guess the meaning, a normal dictionary cannot help. In the [[Nordic countries]] the part of signs that are usually white is often yellow for better visibility in snow and ice. Familiarizing yourself with the most common Vienna Convention signs should be the first thing you do before planning a trip by car in Europe. Most signs are found in [[:w:Comparison of European road signs]]. Countries that adhere to the Vienna Convention use a red triangle pointing upwards to denote '''warning signs'''. The diagrams below show a selection of signs from different countries. Equivalent signs in other countries are broadly similar: <gallery class="center" caption = "Vienna Convention - Selection of warning signs (red triangle)" gallery widths = "50px" heights = "50px"> File:Zeichen 101 - Gefahrstelle, StVO 1970.svg|Other dangers (UK) File:UK traffic sign 512.svg|Curve to right (UK) File:UK traffic sign 557.1.svg|Hump (UK) File:NO road sign 126.svg|Roundabout (NO) File:NO road sign 210.svg|Crossroad on priority road (NO) File:Italian traffic signs - bambini.svg|Children (IT) Image:UK traffic sign 506.1.svg|Minor road to the right (UK) Image:France road sign A1c.svg|"S" bend to the left (FR) Image:Nederlands verkeersbord J24.svg|Caution - cyclists (NL) Image:Italian traffic signs - sbocco su molo.svg|Unguarded quayside (IT) Image:Sweden road sign A26.svg|Road tunnel ahead (SE) </gallery> Countries that adhere to the Vienna Convention use a red circle to denote '''prohibition signs'''.

While most of Europe has fixed rates (sometimes with higher fines for foreigners), some countries, especially the Nordic countries, tie traffic fines to income and/or wealth the way it is commonly done for criminal fines. While this is perceived as juster and more equitable, it can result in quite significant fines (a Finnish millionaire probably holds the record with €100,000 for speeding), and cause legal problems for foreigners without salaried income. Drunk driving is usually heavily fined and in Norway leads to mandatory prison sentence. ==Countries== [[File:Rv827-06 Stetindtunnelen (sør-innslag).jpg|thumb|Country road in winter, Norway]] ==== Denmark ==== {{seealso|Driving in Denmark}} While [[cycling in Denmark|the bicycle]] can be a good alternative to the car in Denmark, driving is usually easy. Parking in cities can be a hassle, though. ==== Finland ==== {{seealso|Driving in Finland}} With exception of the coastal areas, Finland is sparsely populated. Some roads are very scenic. ==== France ==== {{main|Driving in France}} Similar to much of Europe, driving in France is very straightforward unless you go through the cities. ==== Germany ==== {{main|Driving in Germany}} Germany is known for its motorways, called ''Autobahns''. ==== Iceland ==== {{main|Driving in Iceland}} Iceland is a long way north (in fact, farther north than you'd probably assume) and doesn't have a large population, but it is a fairly large island and has no railroads. That makes driving the obvious choice for getting around outside the capital region. ==== Italy ==== {{main|Driving in Italy}} It shouldn't be hard to get around Italy if you have the money to pay tolls, and therefore drive on quieter roads. ==== Norway ==== {{main|Driving in Norway}} Norway goes a long way north to south, and by driving you can reach places in Norway that are difficult to reach using other forms of transport. Countless scenic drives on roads that are often narrow and steep. Distances and driving times are frequently underestimated. Driving in winter can be very challenging even for locals. ==== Poland ==== {{seealso|Driving in Poland}} Poland has a decent system of public transport, though if you find it inconvenient you always can hit the road. Beware that roads are often congested, not up to western European standards and highways frequently go through small villages. ==== Portugal ==== {{main|Driving in Portugal}} From fast modern motorways to middling national roads to narrow unpaved rural roads, Portugal's roads offer varied landscapes and conditions. Sometimes rewarding and often challenging, driving in Portugal offers adventure beyond the country's excellent rail and bus systems. ==== Russia ==== {{main|Driving in Russia}} The largest country in the world is so large that it is hard to get around, even if you're getting around by car. While viewing the countryside by driving is an interesting idea, it's best to know where you're going so you don't end up on the [[Kolyma Highway]]. ==== Spain ==== {{main|Driving in Spain}} Getting around for example central Madrid by car is usually a bad idea, but if you plan on exploring La Alpujarra it can be really convenient. Also, Spain has a good road network and is one of the largest countries in Europe. ==== Sweden ==== {{main|Driving in Sweden}} Generally, driving in Sweden works well, but be careful about driving in winter or going into wilderness areas and be careful about drinking before you drive. ==== Switzerland ==== {{main|Driving in Switzerland}} Switzerland is a small but mountainous country, so you will generally not need to drive long distances to get from place to place but the drive itself may be challenging. ==== United Kingdom ==== {{main|Driving in the United Kingdom}} The only country in Europe to widely use the imperial system of measurements on signage. A car in London and other major cities is an unnecessary liability, but if you're driving around the country or going through small towns, a car is useful and sometimes essential ==See also== *[[Cycling in Europe]] *[[Flying in Europe]] *[[Intercity buses in Europe]] *[[Rail travel in Europe]] {{PartOfTopic|Driving|Europe}} {{usabletopic}} mn0r2pvmywndk71ui85rmgzyoni8xjm 4495975 4495899 2022-08-06T06:17:19Z LPfi 79572 /* Speed limits */ adjusted caption, as prompted on the talk page wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Wikivoyage banner Grossglockner hochalpenstrasse 4 2016.jpg|caption=Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse, Austria}} Most of [[Europe]] has good roads, but fuels and other costs for [[driving]] are high. A car is usually the most practical vehicle for moderate distances {{nowrap|(10–300 km)}} in the countryside. In big cities, street congestion often makes [[public transportation]] and [[Urban cycling|cycling]] better options. On long distances, rail or air travel is usually faster between cities, and [[Intercity buses in Europe|intercity buses]] often cheaper. ==Understand== [[File:DK8 Radzymin Słupno 2 2017.jpg|thumb|National road 8 in Poland]] Driving can be an enjoyable and feasible way to see the countryside and smaller cities. As the process of obtaining a driver's licence is a lot harder than in the U.S. or many developing countries, for example, and as there are plenty of alternatives to driving especially in urban areas, those who do drive tend to be confident and comfortable with driving. However, driving culture varies widely between countries. In centres of bigger cities, driving is seldom a good option: there may be congestion charges, parking is expensive and hard to find, there may be low-emission zones and other limitations, congestion and one-way streets make driving difficult, and public transport tend to be good. Also walking and biking (perhaps with a subsidised bike-sharing system) are serious alternatives for many cities. Many European cities have a compact central area that can be covered on foot. In cities such as Paris, Brussels, Berlin or Amsterdam, even Helsinki, many residents do not own a car. Cars are usually in good working order as most European countries have requirements for a regular check-up to ensure all cars on the road meet minimum safety standards. Starting from Sweden and the Netherlands, policies to increase road safety to a goal of ''zero'' traffic fatalities have spread through Europe and are gaining ground. Those "Vision Zero" policies manifest in different ways, but aim to discourage risky behaviour and build infrastructure in such a way that mistakes are less likely and their consequences less severe. Sweden, Norway and several other countries have since the 1970s seen a steady and substantial decline in fatal accidents. While many roads are in very good conditions, small roads may not be well built and maintained, and in some countries and in remote areas elsewhere, also more important roads may be potholed and uneven, and some may not be paved. In winter and spring driving can be challenging because of snow and ice, especially in the extreme north and in the mountains. ===Interacting with police=== Many traffic violations have "automatic enforcement" – speeding tickets will be issued based on a stationary or mobile speeding camera and many traffic lights have a built-in camera to detect red light violations. Traffic police will still stop cars from time to time to check whether the driver's licence, registration and other things are up to date. They may also perform breath tests for alcohol, particularly around drunk driving "hotspots" such as beer festivals or discos. In general, they do not expect interactions with motorists to turn violent and are usually polite but professional in those interactions. While there are no border controls in the Schengen Area and no customs barriers within the EU, police will stop and search cars on the highways looking for drugs and sometimes also checking up on the immigration status of the people in the car. While some fines can still be paid on the spot (you'll be issued a receipt) concerns with corruption have increasingly led to you getting issued a "ticket" with instructions where and how to pay and many fines are simply delivered by mail to the address under which the car is registered. In many countries, fines are ''never'' paid on the spot.<!--something on how fines work if you're driving a rental--> ===Bribery=== In most countries of western, northern, and central Europe a traffic officer asking for a bribe, or locals trying to bribe a police officer, is more or less unthinkable. A bribery attempt will be treated as a serious offence. Nevertheless, in eastern and southern parts of Europe, the risk of [[Corruption and bribery|corrupt officers]] asking for bribes may arise — for local specifics see the country articles. ==Paperwork== * Original registration document for the car is compulsory. * Motor vehicle insurance certificate is compulsory. * A black and white, 1–3 letter country identity sticker is compulsory, although a number plate that includes the country code suffices in most countries. In particular, such number plates from EU suffice in any EU country. ===Driver's licence=== [[File:Projekt_nowego_prawa_jazdy.png|thumb|Polish driving licence, a typical harmonised European driving licence; front and back side]] In most European countries, you are required to carry your driving licence when driving, in some cases accompanied by the [[Driving#Drivers' license|International Driving Permit]] (IDP). While the latter is not compulsory for certain nationalities in some European countries, it is cheap and could save you from nasty incidents with authorities in some. Countries outside EU have not harmonised their rules. See the individual country articles. Rules on driver's licences from non-EU countries vary widely also inside the EU, but in general they are valid for short stays. In some countries the IDP may be required. There may be more strict requirements. The local minimum age for driving will usually override a foreign driving licence. Almost everywhere, especially in the EU, you need to be at least 18 years old to drive, even supervised. In countries with learning schemes, it's usually an exhaustive and expensive procedure to get a permit, and rarely applicable to foreign citizens anyway. Exceptions include Portugal, Ireland and the UK. The [[European Union]] has a standardised driver's licence. A licence obtained in one EU country is valid in the entire EU – if the holder satisfies general requirements, such as age – even if the holder moves to a different one. To obtain a driver's licence in a particular member country, you must be a resident of that country for a period of at least 180 days. Two exceptions to the rule on EU driver's licences: * If you convert a foreign licence to an EU one and then move to a different country, you may be required to convert the licence again (or obtain a full EU licence by taking a driving test). * Expiration is governed by the country of residence, not the issuing country. For example, German licences issued before 2013 do not expire, but if a holder of such a licence moves to Italy, that licence can be used in Italy for a maximum of 10 years (the validity period in Italy beginning with the first day of residence for non-Italian licences). There may occasionally be issues with law enforcement refusing to recognise old licences issued by other EU members before the EU model was introduced (or before these countries joined the EU), even if they are still valid. It is safest to exchange these licences for a new one. === Insurance === Insurance is not only sensible, but in all European countries third party insurance is mandatory. The EU requires that any motor vehicle insurance taken out in any member state automatically meets the minimum insurance requirement in any other EU country. EEA countries as well as the United Kingdom are also party to this agreement. If you are travelling across borders of countries that are outside this scheme (such as Russia), you will need to get a "Green Card", which is proof of your insurance in a standard format. You can get one from your insurance company. The required insurance is mainly about damages to another party. To cover your own losses (and compensation to your car hiring firm) in case of an accident, you need additional voluntary insurance. ==Equipment== {{see also|Winter driving}} * A warning triangle is compulsory nearly everywhere, as is using it in case of breakdowns. * First-aid kits are compulsory in certain countries. * Carrying high-visibility (reflective) vests in cars is compulsory in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Serbia and Spain and gaining popularity elsewhere. * Headlamp adjusters are compulsory equipment in most countries, but in the UK and Ireland only if you are driving a continental car. * Driving in winter or mountains, you may need winter tyres or chains. Legal requirements vary. Chains are mostly used in mountain passes, winter tyres in general wintry weather. Unstudded winter tyres are allowed anywhere; studded tyres or chains are forbidden in some countries and in some city areas elsewhere. ===Dash-cams=== Rules on use of video cameras mounted in the car ("dashcams") vary. If you consider using one, check the regulations of each country. * No restrictions beyond the usual road safety rules: Spain, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, UK, Latvia. (After a serious accident, the UK police will often ask the public who were not involved to check whether they captured the accident on a dash-cam). * Restricted to private use only: France and Belgium. * Completely banned: Austria and Portugal. ====Mobile telephones==== The use of hand-held mobile telephones is prohibited in most European countries while the use of hands-free phones is under review as of 2022. In many countries however, it is permitted to use mobile telephone (cell phones) as [[GPS navigation|satellite navigation]] devices provided that the device is mounted in a manner that the driver can safely view it without touching it. The intending driver should review the local laws before entering the country concerned. ==Renting a car== {{see also|Car rental}} If you plan to rent a car to drive around Europe, it often makes sense to check the rates in different countries rather than just getting a car in the country of arrival. The price differences can be substantial for longer rentals, to the extent that it can make sense to adjust your travel plans accordingly, e.g. if you plan on travelling around Scandinavia by car, it will often be much cheaper to fly into Germany and rent a car there. Compared to North America, you should be prepared for smaller, more fuel efficient cars, and most of them have manual transmission, so don't expect an automatic without requesting one when placing your order (and often paying extra). Some rental agencies also have stipulations in their contracts, prohibiting the rental of a car in one country and taking it to some others. It is for example common that a car rented in Germany may not be taken to Poland due to concerns of theft. This is less common the other way round, so if you are planning on visiting both countries by rental car, it might be easier (and cheaper) to rent a car in Poland and drive to Germany with it. ==Crossing borders== {{see also|Travelling around the Schengen Area}} In most of Europe [[border crossing|Crossing borders]] by car is a painless process, particularly between countries belonging to the [[Travelling around the Schengen Area|Schengen Area]]. Border controls are mostly smooth between all countries belonging to the [[European Union]] (EU), EEA and EFTA (which include the other Schengen countries), bordering [[European microstates#Microstates|microstates]] and the UK. This extends also to some degree to countries with ambitions to join the EU. Normally, in the Schengen Area, the only sign of crossing a border will be a sign welcoming you to the new country as well as a specific sign telling you the default national speed limits in pictogram form. However, rental car contracts may have limits on the countries the car can be taken to or on crossing any borders altogether. For other borders, such as between the EU and Russia or Belarus, or in the Caucasus, border crossings can be involved and slow, and there are countries with tense or even hostile relations to their neighbours. In countries with vignette-based tolls you should ideally get a vignette before crossing the border; alternatively they should be available at rest stops in the border area or at the border crossing. <gallery class="center" caption = "Crossing Borders" gallery widths = "200px" heights = "200px"> Image:Schengen Agreement map.svg|<div style="text-align: left;">{{legend|#9ccbe1|[[:en:Schengen Area|Schengen Area]]}}{{legend|#d19595|[[:en:Common Travel Area|Common Travel Area]]}}{{legend|#abdb98|To join Schengen Area later}}</div> Image:Bord grensovergang NL.svg|<div style="text-align: left;">Default speed limits in the country that you are entering: in this case the Netherlands built-up areas (50 km/h), rural roads (80 km/h), expressways (100 km/h) and motorways (130 km/h)</div> </gallery> ==Costs== <!-- <gallery style="float: right;" caption = "Paid parking is common" gallery widths = "150px" heights = "50px"> Image:Finland road sign 855b.svg|Here parking is free at nights and on Sundays (FI) Image:Latvia road sign 851.svg|This sign says that parking is paid on workdays 7:30-18:00 (LV) </gallery> --> '''Fuel''' is highly taxed in most EU and EFTA countries. As of January 2020, a litre of 95-octane petrol was about €1–1.50, 98-octane costed around 10% more; in June 2022 there were prices in the €2–2.50 range. These prices correspond to €3.75–9.50/US gallon. In [[Russia]] and other eastern non-EU countries fuel is around 30–40% cheaper. There may be significant price differences across national borders. '''Car rentals''' cost around €30/day and more, but in Eastern-European countries you may find cars as cheap as €10–15/day. [[Image:Belgische parkeerschijf naar Europees model.svg|thumb|upright=0.5|Typical parking disc (BE)]] The cost of '''parking''' varies greatly. In suburban areas on-street parking is often free, although in higher density areas free parking spots might be difficult to find. There may be free parking with a time limit (commonly ¼–2 hr), usually controlled by requiring the display of a parking disk that shows the time of arrival. Other areas charge for parking (both on-street and off-street). The costs of parking varies greatly from area to area and can be expensive in city centres (€2 per hour or more). '''Toll roads''', toll bridges and toll tunnels have a fee ("toll") assessed for passage. Tolls might well be different for private cars, busses, vans and HGVs (Heavy goods vehicles). Those are very common in some countries while absent from some, and some might be quite expensive for foreigners. While most surface roads are toll-free for private cars, trying to avoid toll roads is hardly ever worth it in either time or money even on the shortest transits. You may still prefer rural roads for the scenery and landscape. City centre '''congestion charges''', getting more common, are a separate cost. Toll systems vary widely.

The symbols identify how payment can be made at particular barrier. They include cash (lanes 1,2 and 3), telepass (lanes 1,2 and 5) and credit card (lane 5).]] [[France]] and [[Italy]] are examples of countries that have distance-based systems and France has a lot of private, for-profit highways. There are however sometimes bridges or tunnels with considerable tolls for relatively short distances and you might consider avoiding them for whatever reason. Some toll collection points are autonomous, and the user deposits money in a machine which opens the gate once the correct toll has been paid. To cut costs and minimise time delay, many tolls are collected with electronic toll collection equipment which automatically communicates with a toll payer's transponder or uses automatic number plate recognition to charge drivers by debiting their accounts. In Spain a seemingly indecipherable system exists where some highways are tolled and others aren't depending on whether the national government or the autonomous community built and operates them and sometimes other factors. Annoyingly tolls can often be "odd" amounts (like €5.31) and there might not always be an easy option of paying cashless. French toll booths timestamp receipts and if you moved so fast between two toll booths as to indicate speeding, you are automatically issued a ticket, even if you did not get caught by a speed camera. === Vignette tolls === Many countries have vignette-based systems. Vignette is a fixed fee for driving a vehicle on that country's highways (except Moldova, Bulgaria, and Romania where it includes non-highway roads). You need to buy it before you enter the country online or it can sometimes be bought at customs, some gas stations near the border, which used to be the norm but has now gotten rarer - when in doubt research online in advance. It is sometimes at least theoretically possible to avoid the vignette toll by avoiding highways, however you'll likely spend more in time and nerves than you could possibly save in tolls. Plus, countries like Austria frequently shut down local roads to non-local traffic during the peak season(s) in essence forcing people onto the highways and hence to pay the vignette toll. [[File:Vignette suisse 08.jpg|thumb|Swiss Vignette for the year 2008|100px]] In some countries, you pay the fee and receive a sticker to affix permanently to the windshield of your car. In other countries, physical stickers are unnecessary now. Your payment is recorded electronically and can be looked up automatically via the licence plate number (and will be, by licence-plate-reading cameras that automatically issue hefty fines against unpaid vehicles that have barely crossed the border). Rental cars usually have the necessary vignette for their country of origin but not for neighbouring countries, so be sure to ask. Most countries that use vignettes for light vehicles have long dismantled their tollbooths, so travelling in a vehicle over 3.5 t (buses, trucks) typically requires buying/renting a government-issued transponder or similar device (for example see Go Maut in Austria). The systems vary greatly even inside the EU. Some countries charge all types of vehicles, and some demand tolls based on some combinations of these parameters: number of axles, maximum weight, passenger number, vehicle height, and vehicle category. Tolling systems can be relatively flexible and cheap (only {{EUR|6}} in Lithuania for 24 hours transit) or quite expensive for foreigners (Switzerland only offers annual vignettes regardless of the origin of driver or car. As of 2022 the price was CHF40 ({{EUR|39}} {{GBP|33}})). Some Alpine passes have a separate toll, which you have to pay in addition to the general motorway toll, although in theory if your only toll road on your trip through the country is one of those, you don't have to pay for a general vignette. {| class="wikitable" !

Broadly speaking four types of road can be found in Europe, though the details vary greatly from country to country: *Urban roads which typically have a 50 km/h speed limit (30 mph in the Untied Kingdom) and pass through built-up areas. They vary from narrow medieval streets, through roads in built up areas to residential streets in suburbia. Increasingly, local authorities are placing 30 km/h (20 mph) speed limits in residential areas. *Rural single-carriageway roads which typically have a speed limit of 80 to 100 km/h. These roads vary from relatively high-speed routes that have since been bypassed by motorways to narrow country lanes where passing is difficult. *Dual-carriageway expressways which, while not motorways, might well have restrictions for certain types of slow-moving traffic. Their speed limits typically vary between 100 km/h to 130 km/h. Not all countries differentiate between expressways and rural single-carriageways. *Motorways, which are often known even amongst English-speaking travellers, as ''Autobahnen'' in Germany, ''autostrade'' in Italy, ''autoroutes'' in France and ''autopistas'' in Spain. In addition to the type of road, roads are also classified in accordance with their national or regional importance. These classifications are colour-coded for easy identification, though there are different schemes of colour coding – in particular green is used in the United Kingdom to denote primary routes and blue to denote motorways while in Italy those colours are interchanged. <gallery class="center" caption = "Motorway and expressway signs" gallery widths = "50px" heights = "50px"> Image:Finland_road_sign_E15.svg|Finland Image:CZ_traffic_sign_IZ1a.svg|Czechia Image:Autostrad%C4%83.svg|Romania Image:Autoroute F.svg|France </gallery><gallery class="center" gallery widths = "50px" heights = "50px"> Image:Finland_road_sign_E17.svg| Image:CZ_traffic_sign_IZ2a.svg| Image:Romania_road_sign_G17.svg| Image:France_road_sign_C107.svg| </gallery> Most medium and long-distance European roads are identified by a letter followed by a number that can be up to four digits in length. The exact format varies from country to country, though the letters A, B and C are frequently used. Moreover, specific letters can have different meanings in different countries for example in France and Italy the letter “A” denotes a principal motorway while in the United Kingdom the letter “A” denotes a primary road, which is usually ''not'' a motorway. In some countries, e.g. France and Italy, the letters tell whether the road is operated by the national government or by a lower tier of government. In the latter case, the road number might change when you cross from one province (or equivalent) to another. There is one road classification that is used throughout Europe – the E-route scheme. The “E routes” traverse Europe but are overlaid onto the national road system. The “E” route numbers replace or are shown alongside the associated national road number, for example, the Belgian A3 is part of the E40, but when the road crosses into Germany, the E40 continues along the German A44. Sometimes the European roads also cross over from one national road to another inside a country. <gallery class="center" caption = "Route confirmation signs" gallery widths = "200px" heights = "200px"> Image:DE A3 km193.jpg|Destination confirmation sign on the German A3 (part of E42) Image:Belgium A2 31km marker.JPG|Location marker on the Belgian A2 (part of the E314) </gallery> <!-- Proposed images - to be finalised File:Bundesautobahn 3 number.svg|A3 Autobahn (DE) File:UK-Motorway-M3.svg|M3 Motorway (UK) File:Autostrada A3 Italia.svg|A3 Autorstrada (IT) File:NL-A4.svg File:UK motorway symbol.svg|Motorway symbol (UK) File:UK road A1.svg|(A1 road sign (non-motorway) (UK) File:Motorway Sweden, Switzerland and Italy.svg (SV, CH and IT) File:Strada Statale 4 Italia.svg|SS4 (‘’Strada Statale’’ or “State road”) 4 (non-motorway) (IT) --> ==Road conditions== [[File:Regional road 945 gravel.jpg|thumb|Even in high-income countries, some regional roads may be of lesser quality: road 945 in [[Kemijärvi]]; gravel and 15% slope]] [[File:Latvian_regional_road_P86,_July_2020.jpg|thumb|Latvian regional road P86 in 2020, uneven and over-patched]] The ease of driving on the continent varies greatly, and, as a general rule, east and west of the erstwhile [[Cold War Europe|Iron Curtain]] are two different worlds. Western and Northern Europe for the most part has good road conditions and an extensive and well-developed highway network, whereas Eastern Europe is still working hard on the large backlog left from communist days. For example, in the Latvian capital Riga, not a single bridge has undergone maintenance since the fall of the Soviet Union, and there are still nine bridges that don't belong to anyone. Poland and, to a lesser extent, the Czech Republic have built a lot of highways since the fall of the Iron Curtain to cope with rising automobile ownership. Minor country roads are sometimes in bad shape also in countries with an otherwise well developed road network, such as England or Finland. The end of the Cold War caused a shift in traffic patterns with some road and rail connections now appearing oversized while others are still strained to the breaking point after years of upgrade and expansion. While drivers need to prepare for '''[[winter driving]]''' through the cold season in northern Europe and the high mountains, snow can occasionally disturb traffic even in the south. In general, snow and ice disrupt traffic more the less common it is in the affected area and the first snow of the season tends to have this effect to an even greater extent. Snow that might be shrugged off in Sweden in January may lead to total chaos on the roads and grind everything to a halt in Italy in November. During '''vacations''', especially during the summer and around major holidays such as [[Christmas and New Year travel|Christmas]], driving on the motorways (freeways) can be very tiring owing to high volumes of traffic. In France school summer holidays start on the same day all around the country and driving during that weekend should be avoided. See country articles for holiday calendars. '''Avoid large cities''' if you are not used to driving in Europe. Most central districts were built long before the introduction of automobiles, and were not meant to cope with the levels of car traffic common these days. So for the most part it may be a slow, frustrating and potentially dangerous experience, and even then, finding a parking spot can take a long time and cost several euros when you find it. Instead park on the outskirts of town, where it is often free, and use the (usually extensive) public transit system. If you are renting, try to "work around having a car" while visiting large cities. Getting a car into an [[Old Towns|old town]] can be physically impossible, prohibited, or at least very difficult. ==Low emission zones== [[File:Feinstaubplakette Gruppe 4.svg|thumb|upright=0.5|German "Euro 4" sticker]] In 1992 the European Union published regulations that place limitations on noxious components of motor vehicle exhaust fumes, which applied to all new cars registered in the EU. The 1992 regulations were known as the "Euro 1" regulations, the 1996 regulations as the "Euro 2" and so on. As of 2022, the most recent regulations, introduced in 2014, are the "Euro 6" regulations. In most cases, restrictions on older vehicles are defined using the oldest regulation to which they were built. Often different sets of regulations are used for diesel and petrol engines - typically as of 2022, London's regulations permitted diesel powered vehicles that complied with the "Euro 6" regulations (published in 2014) and petrol powered vehicles that complied with the "Euro 4" regulations (published 2005) to enter the Ultra Low Clean Air Zone free of charge. Many countries outside Europe such as Australia and certain Asian countries are modelling their own regulations on the European regulations. Many cities prohibit or impose tolls on older vehicles that do not meet a specified set of regulations. Some countries requires vehicles, including foreign vehicles, to display a sticker showing their emission classification when entering city centres. Such stickers can be bought from a variety of outlets after demonstrating that the vehicle meets the required standard. In most casse, it is sufficient that the vehicle was first registered after the specfied regulations came into force. Although the boundaries of clean air zones are clearly signposted there is no pan-European design for such signposts. The intended traveller is advised to research the "Clean Air" requirements before starting their journey especially if they are using their own vehicles. <gallery class="center" caption = "Selected 'Clean Air Zone' signs" gallery widths = "50px" heights = "70px"> Image: LOWEMZONEfeb08.PNG|London Image: Umweltzone gelb, grün frei.svg |Germany Image: PL road sign D-54.svg |Poland Image: Belgian traffic sign F117.svg |Belgium </gallery> ==Rules of the road== Traffic circulates on the right-hand side of the road, except in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Isle of Man, Guernsey, Jersey, Malta and Cyprus (all of which are islands). For the left-hand countries any references to right or left below might be reversed. Apart from the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey, all distances are in kilometres (km) and speed limits in kilometres per hour (km/h). ===Speed limits=== [[File:European Speed Limits.svg|thumb|right|Maximum speed limits in different countries]] Speed limits differ between countries and in the case of Belgium between Flanders and Wallonia. The fabled limitless German Autobahn is now confined to mostly rural sections. The majority of motorways/freeways have a {{kmh|110-130}} speed limit, while the limit on undivided highways varies between {{kmh|80}} and {{kmh|100}}. For North Americans, a major difference is the left lane on motorways, which is not the "fast lane" you're used to, but rather the "passing lane". It's illegal to overtake on the right (left in the British Isles). You should only occupy the fast lane when you are overtaking someone; stay there, and you will have other vehicles tailgating while flashing their lights in annoyance and traffic police eager to fine you. Remember to use turn signals when changing lanes The German autobahns are unique in having an "advisory" limit of 130 km/h when no other speed limit is in force. In practice such "advisory limits" are only found well away from large towns or cities. The signs denoting a lower speed limit on entry to a built-up area vary from country to coutnry. In some countries, such as the United Kingdom, speed limits are explicitly denoted, in others such as France and Germany, the name of the locality in a standarised format automatically declares a speed limit. Other countries might have more stylised entry signs, but they have the same effect. <gallery class="center" caption = "Speed restriction signs" gallery widths = "50px" heights = "50px"> Image:Zeichen 274-60 - Zulässige Höchstgeschwindigkeit, StVO 2017.svg|60 km/h Speed limit (DE) Image:France road sign B33 (50).svg|End of 50 km/h speed limit (FR) Image:Spain traffic signal r500.svg|End of all speed restrictions (ES) Image:Panneau d'entree d'agglomeration.jpg|Start of built up area.

Implied 50 km/h speed limit (SE) Image:Sweden road sign E6.svg|End of built-up area and implied 70 km/h speed limit (SE) </gallery> ===Priority at junctions=== Except for '''priority roads''' (check the yellow diamond symbols) in most continental countries, there is a general duty to give way to traffic from your right in crossings and intersections when order of priority is not settled by stop/yield signs, and other drivers have every expectation that you'll adhere to this. This also applies to unmarked T-intersections, unlike in North America, Australia or Japan, where the ending road should normally yield to the through road even if unmarked. Priority to the right does not necessarily apply to cars exiting petrol stations, parking areas, private driveways and similar. In the UK and Ireland, priority is almost always controlled by traffic lights or signage; if not, vehicles on the larger road have priority. [[File:Belisha Beacon.svg|thumb|100px|A Belisha beacon]] On the ubiquitous roundabouts (circles) you find in most countries, cars already in the circle always have right of way; don't give way to incoming drivers while on the roundabout, or you will mess up the system, potentially causing a nasty accident. Entry roads are usually also helpfully marked with yield signs. The exception is France, where cars in roundabouts have to yield. Roundabouts also carry a special round blue sign (similar to the recycling sign); circular intersections without that sign usually aren't roundabouts and might not even be one-way. Finally, don't turn right on red lights, it's illegal, and because it's not common practice, also dangerous. At zebra and pelican crossings, you must stop for pedestrians, who have right of way. In most countries these are marked by a blue triangular pedestrian crossing sign, but in Cyprus, Gibraltar, Ireland, Malta, and the UK, they're marked by a pair of Belisha beacons - a sort of flashing yellow lollipop on a stripy pole. This also applies when you are turning on a green light (unless there is a separate arrow light for those turning). Pedestrian behaviour varies widely, as do laws concerning jaywalking and priority away from junctions; in some countries, pedestrians have right of way at all times. Fast bikers usually rely on other traffic following rules and behaving predictably. Check your mirror before opening a door and use your indicators before turning and changing lanes, to warn bikers in blind spots. Be careful when your road crosses a cycleway (which may have priority) and when turning over a cycleway. <gallery class="center" caption = "Priority signs" gallery widths = "50px" heights = "50px"> File:Italian traffic signs - dare precedenza.svg|Give way (IT) File:NO road sign 204.svg|Stop (NO) File:NO road sign 212.svg|Give way to oncoming traffic (NO) File:NO road sign 214.svg|Oncoming traffic must give way (NO) File:Italian traffic signs - diritto di precedenza.svg|Priority road (IT) Image:Zeichen 307.svg|Priority road ends (DE) File:Latvia road sign 535.svg|Pedestrians on crossing have right of way (LV) </gallery> === Road signs=== Markings and signs are similar throughout Europe but variations in design and interpretations exist so it may be best to research each country individually before you travel. The most basic symbols are geometric shapes in accordance with the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals, which is adhered to in large parts of the world. The signs differ markedly from those based on text, as used in some countries, and shapes and colours may differ also otherwise. The use of pictograms avoids most of the need to learn the local language for driving (there may still be specifications in text), but on the other hand, if you cannot guess the meaning, a normal dictionary cannot help. In the [[Nordic countries]] the part of signs that are usually white is often yellow for better visibility in snow and ice. Familiarizing yourself with the most common Vienna Convention signs should be the first thing you do before planning a trip by car in Europe. Most signs are found in [[:w:Comparison of European road signs]]. Countries that adhere to the Vienna Convention use a red triangle pointing upwards to denote '''warning signs'''. The diagrams below show a selection of signs from different countries. Equivalent signs in other countries are broadly similar: <gallery class="center" caption = "Vienna Convention - Selection of warning signs (red triangle)" gallery widths = "50px" heights = "50px"> File:Zeichen 101 - Gefahrstelle, StVO 1970.svg|Other dangers (UK) File:UK traffic sign 512.svg|Curve to right (UK) File:UK traffic sign 557.1.svg|Hump (UK) File:NO road sign 126.svg|Roundabout (NO) File:NO road sign 210.svg|Crossroad on priority road (NO) File:Italian traffic signs - bambini.svg|Children (IT) Image:UK traffic sign 506.1.svg|Minor road to the right (UK) Image:France road sign A1c.svg|"S" bend to the left (FR) Image:Nederlands verkeersbord J24.svg|Caution - cyclists (NL) Image:Italian traffic signs - sbocco su molo.svg|Unguarded quayside (IT) Image:Sweden road sign A26.svg|Road tunnel ahead (SE) </gallery> Countries that adhere to the Vienna Convention use a red circle to denote '''prohibition signs'''.

While most of Europe has fixed rates (sometimes with higher fines for foreigners), some countries, especially the Nordic countries, tie traffic fines to income and/or wealth the way it is commonly done for criminal fines. While this is perceived as juster and more equitable, it can result in quite significant fines (a Finnish millionaire probably holds the record with €100,000 for speeding), and cause legal problems for foreigners without salaried income. Drunk driving is usually heavily fined and in Norway leads to mandatory prison sentence. ==Countries== [[File:Rv827-06 Stetindtunnelen (sør-innslag).jpg|thumb|Country road in winter, Norway]] ==== Denmark ==== {{seealso|Driving in Denmark}} While [[cycling in Denmark|the bicycle]] can be a good alternative to the car in Denmark, driving is usually easy. Parking in cities can be a hassle, though. ==== Finland ==== {{seealso|Driving in Finland}} With exception of the coastal areas, Finland is sparsely populated. Some roads are very scenic. ==== France ==== {{main|Driving in France}} Similar to much of Europe, driving in France is very straightforward unless you go through the cities. ==== Germany ==== {{main|Driving in Germany}} Germany is known for its motorways, called ''Autobahns''. ==== Iceland ==== {{main|Driving in Iceland}} Iceland is a long way north (in fact, farther north than you'd probably assume) and doesn't have a large population, but it is a fairly large island and has no railroads. That makes driving the obvious choice for getting around outside the capital region. ==== Italy ==== {{main|Driving in Italy}} It shouldn't be hard to get around Italy if you have the money to pay tolls, and therefore drive on quieter roads. ==== Norway ==== {{main|Driving in Norway}} Norway goes a long way north to south, and by driving you can reach places in Norway that are difficult to reach using other forms of transport. Countless scenic drives on roads that are often narrow and steep. Distances and driving times are frequently underestimated. Driving in winter can be very challenging even for locals. ==== Poland ==== {{seealso|Driving in Poland}} Poland has a decent system of public transport, though if you find it inconvenient you always can hit the road. Beware that roads are often congested, not up to western European standards and highways frequently go through small villages. ==== Portugal ==== {{main|Driving in Portugal}} From fast modern motorways to middling national roads to narrow unpaved rural roads, Portugal's roads offer varied landscapes and conditions. Sometimes rewarding and often challenging, driving in Portugal offers adventure beyond the country's excellent rail and bus systems. ==== Russia ==== {{main|Driving in Russia}} The largest country in the world is so large that it is hard to get around, even if you're getting around by car. While viewing the countryside by driving is an interesting idea, it's best to know where you're going so you don't end up on the [[Kolyma Highway]]. ==== Spain ==== {{main|Driving in Spain}} Getting around for example central Madrid by car is usually a bad idea, but if you plan on exploring La Alpujarra it can be really convenient. Also, Spain has a good road network and is one of the largest countries in Europe. ==== Sweden ==== {{main|Driving in Sweden}} Generally, driving in Sweden works well, but be careful about driving in winter or going into wilderness areas and be careful about drinking before you drive. ==== Switzerland ==== {{main|Driving in Switzerland}} Switzerland is a small but mountainous country, so you will generally not need to drive long distances to get from place to place but the drive itself may be challenging. ==== United Kingdom ==== {{main|Driving in the United Kingdom}} The only country in Europe to widely use the imperial system of measurements on signage. A car in London and other major cities is an unnecessary liability, but if you're driving around the country or going through small towns, a car is useful and sometimes essential ==See also== *[[Cycling in Europe]] *[[Flying in Europe]] *[[Intercity buses in Europe]] *[[Rail travel in Europe]] {{PartOfTopic|Driving|Europe}} {{usabletopic}} mnzz2zzm22iqgtv4jre9sykd56xn89c 1 156407 4495894 4406394 2022-08-06T00:10:04Z Erik den yngre 233312 /* Unclear speed limit map */ new section wikitext text/x-wiki == No understand section == Why os there no understand section?

The outer islands of [[Oceania]] make up a different region. In [[Indonesia]], the region borders the [[South Asian wildlife|Indomalayan region]]. The region, especially Australia, is known for its unusual wildlife. {| style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto; text-align:center;" | '''Major wildlife regions'''<br>[[North American wildlife|North America]] • [[Central and South American wildlife|Central & South America]] • [[African wildlife|Africa]] • [[Eurasian wildlife|Eurasia]] • [[Wildlife in South and Southeast Asia|South & Southeast Asia]] • [[Australasian wildlife|Australasia]] • [[Wildlife of the Southern Ocean|Southern Ocean]] |} ==Animals== {{quote|An unbeliever in everything beyond his own reason might exclaim 'Surely two distinct Creators must have been [at] work.'|author=Charles Darwin's diary}} ===Mammals=== [[File:Koala and joey.jpg|thumb|Koalas]] There are three main categories of mammals in the world, with different reproductive cycles. '''Placentals''', the largest group, which include humans, have a long gestation period. The only placentals that were in Australasia before human arrival are bats and rodents. Instead, Australia is home to the '''marsupials''' and the egg-laying '''monotremes'''. These are not native to New Zealand. In marsupials, the embryo leaves the mother's uterus, and crawls into the pouch to continue growth. While marsupials are also extant in the Americas, they are incredibly diverse in Australia, occupying ecological niches of placental mammals on other continents. The common explanation for this diversity in Australia combined with the relative dominance of placental mammals elsewhere is the geographic isolation of Australia that kept most placental mammals away; the fossil record in South America shows a similar diversity of marsupials until a connection with North America was established, leading to placental mammals taking over. ====Marsupials==== '''Kangaroos''' are a non-taxonomic category of marsupials standing upright on strong hind legs; smaller kangaroos are called '''wallabies''', and even smaller ones are called '''pademelons'''. The '''red kangaroo''', ''Macropus rufus'', is the largest marsupial, and an iconic species (there were even bigger marsupials until the arrival of Man). '''Tree-kangaroos''', which are found in [[New Guinea]] and northern [[Queensland]] are small kangaroo-like marsupials that lives in trees. Unlike other kangaroos, tree-kangaroos can move their hind legs independently of each other, thus allowing them to climb trees. While they are very agile in trees, they are very slow on the ground and can only hop awkwardly. The '''koala''', ''Phascolarctos cinereus'', is a tree-living bear-like marsupial. They are only found on the East Coast + South Australia, but due to excessive deforestation, logging, and the 2019-20 bushfires, koala numbers are only at 5% of what they were in 1788, and their habitats continue to be threatened by development. The '''bandicoot''' is a small marsupial that looks similar to rats. The largest extant carnivorous marsupial is the '''Tasmanian devil''' (''Sarcophilus harrisii''), which is highly endangered and, as the name suggests, only survives in the wild on the island of [[Tasmania]]. Tasmania was also previously home to a larger carnivorous marsupial known as the thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf, though it was hunted to extinction by the 1930s. Both carnivorous marsupials formerly inhabited the Australian mainland, though they were driven to extinction with the introduction of dingoes from Asia by the Aboriginal people. [[Image:Quokka cropped.jpg|thumb|A quokka]] '''Quokkas''', ''Setonix brachyurus'', are a marsupial that looks like a small, chubby kangaroo with a cute face.

In captivity, quokkas can be found at a number of zoos throughout Australia. ====Monotremes==== [[File:Platypus BrokenRiver QLD Australia.jpg|thumb|A platypus]] '''Monotremes''' are an order of mammals sometimes described as the "missing link" between mammals and reptiles. They are only found in Australasia, and include the '''platypus''' (''Ornithorhynchus anatinus'') and four species of '''echidnas'''. Monotremes differ from other mammals in quite a few respects, with two most notable. The term "monotreme" derives from the Greek word for "single opening", reflecting that all monotremes have a single opening for their urinary, defecatory, and reproductive systems. As noted previously, they also lay eggs instead of bearing live young. ====Invasive animals==== Some invasive animals in Australia are the '''dromedary''', the '''dingo''' (a feral dog), the '''rabbit''', and the '''cane toad'''. The dromedary (''Camelus dromedarius'') is the familiar one-humped camel. Native to desert regions of North Africa, the Middle East, and western and central Asia, it has been domesticated for roughly 4,000 years, and has not naturally occurred in the wild for at least 2,000 years. However, central Australia is home to the only population of dromedaries that exhibits wild behaviour. During the 19th-century European colonisation of central Australia, dromedaries were brought to serve as working animals. With the advent of motorised transport in the 1920s and 1930s, many of them were released into the wild, and their descendants have spread throughout the centre of the country. While dromedaries have not been as damaging to the environment as some other introduced pests, they have still negatively impacted many arid and semi-arid areas, and authorities have engaged in culling programs for the last several decades. At the same time, a small but growing livestock industry has developed around the dromedary, with even some Aboriginal groups active in it. The dingo (''Canis lupus dingo'' or ''Canis dingo'') is a feral dog that has lived in Australia for at least 3,500 years, and more likely 8,000 or more years. It came from Southeast Asia, either by itself or with humans. It is believed to have led to the extinction of the thylacine (which remained extant in Tasmania until the 1930s) on mainland Australia by out-competing them for prey. It is usually seen as a part of Australian native wildlife, as it was present before European contact. The dingo is a significant predator of domestic sheep, and less so for cattle, but also preys upon many invasive species such as rabbits, red foxes, feral goats, and feral pigs, as well as native animals. However, dingoes are less likely to seek out livestock when sufficient wild or feral prey is available. The biggest threat to dingo populations today is hybridisation with domestic dogs, which has been widespread. The European rabbit (''Oryctolagus cuniculus'') was introduced to Australia with the First Fleet (the original British settlers in 1788) and quickly spread throughout the country. Rabbits have had a devastating effect on the Australian ecology through overgrazing, in turn causing severe erosion of affected areas. Efforts to control them have had mixed success. The cane toad (''Rhinella marina''), the world's largest toad, is native to South America and mainland Central America, but has been introduced to many areas in the Caribbean and Pacific as a means of agricultural pest control. In the 1930s, native beetles were major pests of sugarcane plantations in northern Queensland. Because cane toads had been successfully used in pest control in other parts of the world, they were first introduced from Hawaii in 1935, with other releases in the following years. Unfortunately, they were not as effective in pest control in Australia as in other regions, and have since spread throughout the wetter areas of Queensland and the Northern Territory, and even into northern New South Wales and Western Australia. Cane toads have no natural predators in Australia, and their main defense mechanism is poison glands on their back; the tadpoles are also toxic to most predators. Most native Australian predators are vulnerable to cane toad toxin, and their numbers have greatly declined in cane toad-infested areas. ===Marine life=== Australian waters have vivant populations of [[whale watching|whales]] and dolphins, while the southern waters are also known for being a habitat for the '''Great White Shark'''. The southern waters of Australia are home to the '''Australian sea lion''' (''Neophoca cinerea''), while the '''New Zealand fur seal''' (''Arctocephalus forsteri'') inhabits the southern parts of both Australia and New Zealand. The [[Great Barrier Reef]] is the world's largest coral reef, while the Ningaloo Reef off the northern coast of [[Western Australia]] is another very large reef largely unspoilt by tourism compared to the Great Barrier Reef. The waters off the coast of [[South Australia]] are home to the '''leafy sea dragon''' (''Phycodurus eques''), a seahorse which looks very much like a seaweed, thus allowing it to camouflage well and making it difficult to spot. '''Great white sharks''' are also found off the southern coast of Australia, and the town of [[Port Lincoln]] in South Australia is the starting point of many cage diving expeditions to see them. ===Birds=== [[File:Emu family.jpg|thumb|Emus]] {{seealso|Birdwatching}} The '''emu''', ''Dromaius novaehollandiae'', is the world's second-largest bird behind the ostrich, and one of the animals on Australia's coat-of-arms. Another large, flightless bird that can be found in the tropical rainforests of northern Australia is the '''cassowary''', which though very aggressive and dangerous, is also endangered, thus making it highly unlikely that you will run into one. Both Australia and New Zealand are home to the '''little penguin''', also known in Australia as the '''fairy penguin''' (''Eudyptula minor''), the world's smallest species of penguin. Australia is also home to several species of parrots, including the '''sulphur-crested cockatoo''' (''Cacatua galerita'') and the '''rainbow lorikeet''' (''Trichoglossus moluccanus''). New Zealand's national bird is a small flightless bird known as the '''kiwi'''; although you are unlikely to casually see a kiwi in the wild, there are several sancturies and organised nightime walks which give a good chance of seeing one. Other flightless birds are the coulourful '''takahē''' and the more common '''weka'''; the green flightless parrot, the '''kākāpō''' is so rare that the remaining birds are on islands which are closed to visitors. Several species of penguin can be seen in coastal habitats mainly on the South Island and Stewart Island. There is a wide selection of flying forest and sea [https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/ birds], several of which are unique to New Zealand. In rural areas the "dawn chorus" of birdsong can make a great start to the day - this may include songs of the '''tui''' and '''bellbird'''.

'''Placentals''', the largest group, which include humans, have a long gestation period. The only placentals that were in Australasia before human arrival are bats and rodents. Instead, Australia is home to the '''marsupials''' and the egg-laying '''monotremes'''. These are not native to New Zealand. In marsupials, the embryo leaves the mother's uterus, and crawls into the pouch to continue growth. While marsupials are also extant in the Americas, they are incredibly diverse in Australia, occupying ecological niches of placental mammals on other continents. The common explanation for this diversity in Australia combined with the relative dominance of placental mammals elsewhere is the geographic isolation of Australia that kept most placental mammals away; the fossil record in South America shows a similar diversity of marsupials until a connection with North America was established, leading to placental mammals taking over. ====Marsupials==== '''Kangaroos''' are a non-taxonomic category of marsupials standing upright on strong hind legs; smaller kangaroos are called '''wallabies''', and even smaller ones are called '''pademelons'''. The '''red kangaroo''', ''Macropus rufus'', is the largest marsupial, and an iconic species (there were even bigger marsupials until the arrival of Man). '''Tree-kangaroos''', which are found in [[New Guinea]] and northern [[Queensland]] are small kangaroo-like marsupials that lives in trees. Unlike other kangaroos, tree-kangaroos can move their hind legs independently of each other, thus allowing them to climb trees. While they are very agile in trees, they are very slow on the ground and can only hop awkwardly. The '''koala''', ''Phascolarctos cinereus'', is a tree-living bear-like marsupial. They are only found on the East Coast + South Australia, but due to excessive deforestation, logging, and the 2019-20 bushfires, koala numbers are only at 5% of what they were in 1788, and their habitats continue to be threatened by development. The '''bandicoot''' is a small marsupial that looks similar to rats. The largest extant carnivorous marsupial is the '''Tasmanian devil''' (''Sarcophilus harrisii''), which is highly endangered and, as the name suggests, only survives in the wild on the island of [[Tasmania]]. Tasmania was also previously home to a larger carnivorous marsupial known as the thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf, though it was hunted to extinction by the 1930s. Both carnivorous marsupials formerly inhabited the Australian mainland, though they were driven to extinction with the introduction of dingoes from Asia by the Aboriginal people. [[Image:Quokka cropped.jpg|thumb|A quokka]] '''Quokkas''', ''Setonix brachyurus'', are a marsupial that looks like a small, chubby kangaroo with a cute face.

They are only found on the East Coast + South Australia, but due to excessive deforestation, logging, and the 2019-20 bushfires, koala numbers are only at 5% of what they were in 1788, and their habitats continue to be threatened by development. The '''bandicoot''' is a small marsupial that looks similar to rats. The largest extant carnivorous marsupial is the '''Tasmanian devil''' (''Sarcophilus harrisii''), which is highly endangered and, as the name suggests, only survives in the wild on the island of [[Tasmania]]. Tasmania was also previously home to a larger carnivorous marsupial known as the thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf, though it was hunted to extinction by the 1930s. Both carnivorous marsupials formerly inhabited the Australian mainland, though they were driven to extinction with the introduction of dingoes from Asia by the Aboriginal people. [[Image:Quokka cropped.jpg|thumb|A quokka]] '''Quokkas''', ''Setonix brachyurus'', are a marsupial that looks like a small, chubby kangaroo with a cute face. In the 2010s they have become known online as the [http://www.traveller.com.au/worlds-happiest-animal-the-quokka-becomes-the-most-popular-tourist-attraction-at-australias-rottnest-island-gunpvd "world's happiest animal"] due to their cute, cheerful appearance. Quokkas are only found in the wild in [[Perth/Rottnest Island|Rottnest Island]] off the coast of [[Perth]], [[Western Australia]]. At Rottnest Island they are very common and willing to approach humans, and "quokka selfies" are an online craze, but it's forbidden by law to touch a quokka. In captivity, quokkas can be found at a number of zoos throughout Australia. ====Monotremes==== [[File:Platypus BrokenRiver QLD Australia.jpg|thumb|A platypus]] '''Monotremes''' are an order of mammals sometimes described as the "missing link" between mammals and reptiles. They are only found in Australasia, and include the '''platypus''' (''Ornithorhynchus anatinus'') and four species of '''echidnas'''. Monotremes differ from other mammals in quite a few respects, with two most notable. The term "monotreme" derives from the Greek word for "single opening", reflecting that all monotremes have a single opening for their urinary, defecatory, and reproductive systems. As noted previously, they also lay eggs instead of bearing live young. ====Invasive animals==== Some invasive animals in Australia are the '''dromedary''', the '''dingo''' (a feral dog), the '''rabbit''', and the '''cane toad'''. The dromedary (''Camelus dromedarius'') is the familiar one-humped camel. Native to desert regions of North Africa, the Middle East, and western and central Asia, it has been domesticated for roughly 4,000 years, and has not naturally occurred in the wild for at least 2,000 years. However, central Australia is home to the only population of dromedaries that exhibits wild behaviour. During the 19th-century European colonisation of central Australia, dromedaries were brought to serve as working animals. With the advent of motorised transport in the 1920s and 1930s, many of them were released into the wild, and their descendants have spread throughout the centre of the country. While dromedaries have not been as damaging to the environment as some other introduced pests, they have still negatively impacted many arid and semi-arid areas, and authorities have engaged in culling programs for the last several decades. At the same time, a small but growing livestock industry has developed around the dromedary, with even some Aboriginal groups active in it. The dingo (''Canis lupus dingo'' or ''Canis dingo'') is a feral dog that has lived in Australia for at least 3,500 years, and more likely 8,000 or more years. It came from Southeast Asia, either by itself or with humans. It is believed to have led to the extinction of the thylacine (which remained extant in Tasmania until the 1930s) on mainland Australia by out-competing them for prey. It is usually seen as a part of Australian native wildlife, as it was present before European contact. The dingo is a significant predator of domestic sheep, and less so for cattle, but also preys upon many invasive species such as rabbits, red foxes, feral goats, and feral pigs, as well as native animals. However, dingoes are less likely to seek out livestock when sufficient wild or feral prey is available. The biggest threat to dingo populations today is hybridisation with domestic dogs, which has been widespread. The European rabbit (''Oryctolagus cuniculus'') was introduced to Australia with the First Fleet (the original British settlers in 1788) and quickly spread throughout the country. Rabbits have had a devastating effect on the Australian ecology through overgrazing, in turn causing severe erosion of affected areas. Efforts to control them have had mixed success. The cane toad (''Rhinella marina''), the world's largest toad, is native to South America and mainland Central America, but has been introduced to many areas in the Caribbean and Pacific as a means of agricultural pest control. In the 1930s, native beetles were major pests of sugarcane plantations in northern Queensland. Because cane toads had been successfully used in pest control in other parts of the world, they were first introduced from Hawaii in 1935, with other releases in the following years. Unfortunately, they were not as effective in pest control in Australia as in other regions, and have since spread throughout the wetter areas of Queensland and the Northern Territory, and even into northern New South Wales and Western Australia. Cane toads have no natural predators in Australia, and their main defense mechanism is poison glands on their back; the tadpoles are also toxic to most predators. Most native Australian predators are vulnerable to cane toad toxin, and their numbers have greatly declined in cane toad-infested areas. ===Marine life=== Australian waters have vivant populations of [[whale watching|whales]] and dolphins, while the southern waters are also known for being a habitat for the '''Great White Shark'''. The southern waters of Australia are home to the '''Australian sea lion''' (''Neophoca cinerea''), while the '''New Zealand fur seal''' (''Arctocephalus forsteri'') inhabits the southern parts of both Australia and New Zealand. The [[Great Barrier Reef]] is the world's largest coral reef, while the Ningaloo Reef off the northern coast of [[Western Australia]] is another very large reef largely unspoilt by tourism compared to the Great Barrier Reef. The waters off the coast of [[South Australia]] are home to the '''leafy sea dragon''' (''Phycodurus eques''), a seahorse which looks very much like a seaweed, thus allowing it to camouflage well and making it difficult to spot. '''Great white sharks''' are also found off the southern coast of Australia, and the town of [[Port Lincoln]] in South Australia is the starting point of many cage diving expeditions to see them. ===Birds=== [[File:Emu family.jpg|thumb|Emus]] {{seealso|Birdwatching}} The '''emu''', ''Dromaius novaehollandiae'', is the world's second-largest bird behind the ostrich, and one of the animals on Australia's coat-of-arms. Another large, flightless bird that can be found in the tropical rainforests of northern Australia is the '''cassowary''', which though very aggressive and dangerous, is also endangered, thus making it highly unlikely that you will run into one. Both Australia and New Zealand are home to the '''little penguin''', also known in Australia as the '''fairy penguin''' (''Eudyptula minor''), the world's smallest species of penguin, which can be found in places like [[Bicheno]] and [[Bruny Island]], Tasmania. Australia is also home to several species of parrots, including the '''sulphur-crested cockatoo''' (''Cacatua galerita'') and the '''rainbow lorikeet''' (''Trichoglossus moluccanus''). They are comfortable in areas inhabited by humans and can often be seen in towns and parks. New Zealand's national bird is a small flightless bird known as the '''kiwi'''; although you are unlikely to casually see a kiwi in the wild, there are several sancturies and organised nightime walks which give a good chance of seeing one. Other flightless birds are the coulourful '''takahē''' and the more common '''weka'''; the green flightless parrot, the '''kākāpō''' is so rare that the remaining birds are on islands which are closed to visitors. Several species of penguin can be seen in coastal habitats mainly on the South Island and Stewart Island. There is a wide selection of flying forest and sea [https://www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/ birds], several of which are unique to New Zealand. In rural areas the "dawn chorus" of birdsong can make a great start to the day - this may include songs of the '''tui''' and '''bellbird'''. The '''kea''' is a green parrot found in South Island mountain areas. ==Destinations== {{mapframe|-24.6871|134.5293|width=500|zoom=3}} While many species are spread across the land (or the ocean), some national parks and other places stand out for their beauty and diversity of species. ===Australia=== * {{listing | name=[[Great Barrier Reef]] | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=-18.2861 | long=147.7000 | directions=off the [[Queensland]] coast | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=The largest biological formation in the world. }} * {{listing | name=[[Kakadu National Park]] |lat=-13.02061 | long=132.52808 }} * {{listing | name=[[Watarrka National Park]] | lat=-24.2517 | long=131.6320 }} * {{listing | name=[[Kangaroo Island]] | lat=-35.83674 | long=137.32361 }} * {{listing | name=[[Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre National Park]] | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=-28.6689 | long=137.524 | directions=[[South Australia]] | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{listing|name=[[Adelaide/Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary National Park—Winaityinaityi Pangkara|Adelaide International Bird Sanctuary National Park—Winaityinaityi Pangkara]]|wikidata=Q19870520|directions=northern areas of [[Adelaide]]}} * {{listing | name=Cave Beach | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=-35.161867 | long=150.667057 | directions=[[Jervis Bay Territory]] | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | content=Roos are common here and have no fear of humans here. }} * {{listing | name=[[Dorrigo National Park]] | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=-30.367633 | long=152.729751 | directions=[[Dorrigo]], [[New South Wales]] | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | content= }} * {{listing | name=Broome Bird Observatory | alt= | url=http://broomebirdobservatory.com/ | email= | address= | lat=-17.9750593 | long=122.3446941 | directions=[[Broome]], Western Australia | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | content=In the Broome area, there are around 300 bird species, the most famous being the migratory waders that visit Roebuck Bay over the summer and then depart for Siberia to breed during the southern hemisphere winter. }} ===New Caledonia=== * {{listing | name=Baie de Gadji | alt= | url= | email= | address= | lat=-22.544967 | long=167.424608 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata= | lastedit=2021-09-15 | content=In the Ile Des Pins, the wildlife here is home to some many unique species only found in the southern areas of New Caledonia. }} ===New Zealand=== *{{listing | name=Zealandia | alt=Karori Wildlife Sanctuary | url=http://www.visitzealandia.com | email= | address=[[Wellington]] | lat=-41.294375 | long=174.750025 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | fax= | hours= | price= | wikipedia=Zealandia (wildlife sanctuary) | image=Karori Wildlife Sanctuary location.jpg | wikidata=Q913886 | content=A predator-proof fence encloses an old water catchment area, forming a ''mainland island'' that provides a natural haven for endangered native birds, tuatara, wētā, and other indigenous flora and fauna, safe from introduced predators.

'''Placentals''', the largest group, which include humans, have a long gestation period. The only placentals that were in Australasia before human arrival are bats and rodents. Instead, Australia is home to the '''marsupials''' and the egg-laying '''monotremes'''. These are not native to New Zealand. In marsupials, the embryo leaves the mother's uterus, and crawls into the pouch to continue growth. While marsupials are also extant in the Americas, they are incredibly diverse in Australia, occupying ecological niches of placental mammals on other continents. The common explanation for this diversity in Australia combined with the relative dominance of placental mammals elsewhere is the geographic isolation of Australia that kept most placental mammals away; the fossil record in South America shows a similar diversity of marsupials until a connection with North America was established, leading to placental mammals taking over. ====Marsupials==== '''Kangaroos''' are a non-taxonomic category of marsupials standing upright on strong hind legs; smaller kangaroos are called '''wallabies''', and even smaller ones are called '''pademelons'''. The '''red kangaroo''', ''Macropus rufus'', is the largest marsupial, and an iconic species (there were even bigger marsupials until the arrival of Man). '''Tree-kangaroos''', which are found in [[New Guinea]] and northern [[Queensland]] are small kangaroo-like marsupials that lives in trees. Unlike other kangaroos, tree-kangaroos can move their hind legs independently of each other, thus allowing them to climb trees. While they are very agile in trees, they are very slow on the ground and can only hop awkwardly. The '''koala''', ''Phascolarctos cinereus'', is a tree-living bear-like marsupial. They are only found on the East Coast + South Australia, but due to excessive deforestation, logging, and the 2019-20 bushfires, koala numbers are only at 5% of what they were in 1788, and their habitats continue to be threatened by development. The '''bandicoot''' is a small marsupial that looks similar to rats. The largest extant carnivorous marsupial is the '''Tasmanian devil''' (''Sarcophilus harrisii''), which is highly endangered and, as the name suggests, only survives in the wild on the island of [[Tasmania]].

They're found in a variety of habitats in southern and eastern Australia, including Tasmania. ====Monotremes==== [[File:Platypus BrokenRiver QLD Australia.jpg|thumb|A platypus]] '''Monotremes''' are an order of mammals sometimes described as the "missing link" between mammals and reptiles.

The [[Caribbean]], [[Central America]] and southern [[Florida]] are in the Neotropic region, together with [[South America]]. The Nearctic realm is divided between four bioregions, making up the northern, western, eastern and southern part of the continent. The '''north''', (including the '''Canadian shield)''', is made up of [[tundra]] and [[boreal forest]]. The harsh winters put pressure on animals and plants here, limiting the number of species. The '''west''' is contained by the [[Rocky Mountains]]. The region has great variations in elevation, temperature and rainfall within rather short distances. The '''east''' makes up the eastern United States, as well as southeastern Canada, and the [[Canadian Prairie]]. Much of this region is exploited through farming and human settlement. The '''south''' includes inland Mexico, as well as the desert region of the United States, and Texas. ==Animals== ===Carnivores=== North America is famous for its many carnivores, especially '''bears''', '''wolves''', '''foxes''', '''coyotes''', '''lynx''', '''bobcats''', and '''cougars''' ('''mountain lions'''). They make up keystone species for their ecosystems. Many of them have been endangered, or locally extinct during the 20th century, but are recovering. You can see '''alligators''' in swamps all over coastal areas of the [[South (United States of America)|South]], and especially in [[Louisiana]] and [[Florida]]. [[Everglades National Park]] has both alligators and crocodiles. While the '''red fox''' (''Vulpes vulpes'') can be found in Eurasia as well, two variants of the species can only be found in the wild in North America. One of them is the '''silver fox''', which has black instead of orange fur, while the other is the '''cross fox''', which is partially melanistic and features both orange and black patches of fur. Several variants of the '''gray wolf''' (''Canis lupus'') can only be found in North America. One is the '''Mexican gray wolf''', which used to be found in much of northern Mexico and the southwestern United States, but is now critically endangered and down to only over a hundred individuals in the wild. The '''northwestern wolf''' can be found in much of Alaska, western Canada and the northwestern United States. It was one hunted to extinction in [[Yellowstone National Park]], but has since been successfully reintroduced. The '''eastern wolf''' is found in Ontario, southern Quebec, the Midwest and New England. The '''northern Rocky Mountain wolf''', as the name suggests, is found in the northern parts of the rocky mountains stretching from the American states of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming all the way up into Canada's Yukon territory. ===Ungulates=== The '''American bison''' (''Bison bison''), also called the '''buffalo''', is not related to the Asian water buffalo (''Bubalus bubalis''). It is the heaviest endemic land animal on the continent. The bison used to be a dominant species of the Great Plains until modern times. At the brink of extinction near 1900, the population is on the rise again. Two distinct subspecies exist: the plain bison and the wood bison. The only place to see both subspecies in a relatively free-ranging environment is at [[Elk Island National Park]], in Alberta, Canada. The '''mustangs''' are a population of feral horses (''Equus ferus caballus'') on the Great Plains, descending from colonists' horses. North America has five deer species: * The '''white-tailed deer''' (''Odocoileus virginianus'') is the most widely distributed ungulate on the continent, though more prevalent east of the Rockies. The species varies widely in size; males average about 150 pounds (70 kg) and females 100 lb (45 kg), but the endangered Key deer (''O. v. clavium'') of the Florida Keys is noticeably smaller, while bucks (males) in more northern populations can weigh over 400 lb (180 kg). While the Key deer is listed by the U.S. government as endangered, and the Columbian white-tailed deer (''O. v. leucurus'') of Oregon and Washington is considered threatened, the species as a whole is in no danger of extinction, with an estimated population of 35 million in the U.S. alone, with many millions more in Canada, Mexico, and Central America. In fact, in many suburban and agricultural areas in the U.S. and Canada, the white-tail has become a major pest, consuming significant amounts of ornamental and cash crops. Additionally, over a million deer–vehicle collisions occur annually in the U.S., resulting in about 300 human deaths, and deer are major carriers of the ticks that spread the bacterium that causes Lyme disease in humans. * The '''mule deer''' (''Odocoileus hemionus'') is native to western North America, especially the Rocky Mountain region. It averages slightly larger than the white-tail. * The '''caribou''' (known outside North America as '''reindeer'''), ''Rangifer tarandus'', is larger than the mule deer, with males averaging close to 400 lb (180 kg) and females about 220 lb (100 kg). Notably, the caribou is the only deer species in which both sexes grow antlers. Originally, the species ranged throughout Canada, Alaska, and the far north of the contiguous U.S., but climate change and human disruption of habitat have caused it to almost completely disappear from the contiguous U.S. and greatly reduced its numbers elsewhere. * The '''elk''' (''Cervus canadensis''), also known as the '''wapiti''', is closely related to the red deer of Eurasia. It is one of the largest deer, with both males and females averaging about twice the weight of caribou. The species once ranged through most of the U.S. and Canada except for tundra, true deserts, and the Gulf of Mexico coast, but overhunting and forest clearing wiped out populations east of the Great Plains. The species as a whole has significantly recovered, and the descendants of relocated western elk are now thriving in many eastern states and provinces. * The '''moose''' (known in Europe as the elk), ''Alces alces'', is the world's largest deer species, with the largest males standing nearly 7 feet (2.1 m) at the shoulders and weighing upward of 1500 lb (700 kg). It can readily be distinguished from other deer not only by size, but also bodily form (very robust body supported by unusually long legs), broad hooves, and most notably the flattened antlers grown by males during the warmer months. The species mainly inhabits temperate and boreal forests. Populations remain stable in arctic and subarctic regions, but have declined significantly in the 2010s in the contiguous U.S. Moose–vehicle collisions, while not as common as collisions with white-tails or mule deer, are especially dangerous to humans because an adult moose's center of mass is above the hood of most passenger cars. Because of this, a direct collision with a moose will usually send the body directly into the hood and windshield, crushing the front roof beams and anyone sitting in the front seats. The '''pronghorn''', ''Antilocapra americana'', often called "antelope", is the fastest land animal in the Western Hemisphere. While the cheetah of Africa and Asia is faster, the pronghorn can sustain its maximum speed for much longer. It can be found in open country throughout the western Great Plains, the Great Basin, and into northern Mexico. Pronghorns are about the size of smaller deer, with males averaging about 110 lb (50 kg) and females about 95 lb (45 kg). The animal's name comes from the branched horns of males, which unlike those of deer have a bony core. Females have smaller and usually unbranched horns. In the 1920s, it was threatened with extinction, but strong conservation efforts have led to a major recovery. While populations in Mexico and Arizona remain endangered, the species as a whole is safe, with as many as 1 million individuals living today. Like deer, they are popular game animals within their range. The '''mountain goat''', ''Oreamnos americanus'', is another popular game animal. Despite its name, it is not a true goat. It is native to mountainous regions of western North America, with the traditional range extending from Idaho and Wyoming, through Canada, and into southeast Alaska. The species has also been successfully introduced to mountain areas as far south as Colorado. Featuring thick white coats and short horns in both sexes, mountain goat billies (males) average up to 300 lb (140 kg), with nannies (females) about 30% smaller. North America also has two species of wild sheep. * The '''Dall sheep''' (''Ovis dalli''), also known as '''thinhorn sheep''', is native to mountainous regions in the far northwest of the continent, ranging from northern British Columbia through the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Alaska. The name "Dall sheep" is commonly used to refer solely to the northern subspecies ''O. d. dalli''; the southern subspecies, ''O. d. stonei''. is more commonly called "Stone's sheep". In both subspecies, rams average around 180 lb/82 kg and ewes around 110 lb/50 kg. Also, rams have large curled horns, while ewes have small and slender horns. * The '''bighorn sheep''' (''O. canadensis'') is also native to mountainous areas in the west of the continent, but its range overlaps very little with that of Dall sheep, extending from British Columbia and Alberta in the north to the Baja California peninsula. Historically, seven subspecies were recognized, but modern DNA analysis has reduced this to three. All subspecies are noted for the large spiraling horns of rams, with ewes having much smaller horns with little curl. ** The '''Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep''' (''O. c. canadensis'') is the largest, widest-ranging (from BC to Arizona), and by far the most numerous. Rams can weigh over 300 lb/140 kg; ewes are about two-thirds the size. They are fairly popular game animals, though hunting is carefully regulated. ** The '''Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep''' (''O. c. sierrae'') is found only in the Sierra Nevada of California. It's noticeably smaller than its Rocky Mountain cousin, with rams reaching at most 220 lb/100 kg. Listed by the US federal government as endangered, hunting of this subspecies is prohibited. ** The '''desert bighorn sheep''' (''O. c. nelsoni'') is native to the deserts of the southwestern US and Mexico's Baja California peninsula. The subspecies varies widely in size by individual population; the largest rams can reach 280 lb/127 kg, but some populations feature rams that are even smaller than those of Dall sheep. US authorities consider the subspecies vulnerable but not endangered; very limited numbers of hunting permits are issued in states within its range, with most fees funding continued conservation efforts. ===Small mammals=== [[File:Three raccoons in a tree.jpg|thumb|The raccoon, ''Procyon lotor'', is an omnivorous animal spread all across the continent.]] Though locals see them as pests, '''raccoons''' fascinate some visitors (so much so that they have been exported as pets and become an invasive species in other countries). With black "masks" around their eyes and ringed tails, raccoons are easy to recognize if you see them. They're very intelligent and have adapted well to human residential areas, where they're notorious for digging through people's garbage to find food. They're mostly nocturnal, so you'll have to get lucky to spot one. '''Skunks''' are notorious for their pungent, stinky spray, so don't get close. Most have a distinctive black and white striped pattern. '''Squirrels''' are very common in suburban and even urban areas. The '''chipmunk''' is something like a smaller, cuter version of a squirrel with a striped back. The '''groundhog''' or '''woodchuck''' is a burrowing animal common in large parts of the eastern United States and Canada. It's celebrated on the holiday of Groundhog Day (February 2), when according to superstition a groundhog comes out of its burrow and looks around. If it sees its shadow, it goes back down and there will be six more weeks of winter; otherwise, spring will come. In many locations around the US and Canada, a ceremony is held where you can watch a groundhog to see what it predicts—the most famous one is in [[Punxsutawney]], Pennsylvania. ===Birds=== [[File:About_to_Launch_(26075320352).jpg|thumb|The bald eagle, ''Haliaeetus leucocephalus'', is the national bird of the United States.]] Many birds of the continent are migratory, and can only be seen seasonally. '''Turkeys''' are indigenous to North America, of which there are two species; the '''wild turkey''' (''Meleagris gallopavo''), from which the domestic turkey was derived, is found in much of the eastern half of the [[United States of America|United States]], as well as southern [[Ontario]] in [[Canada]], and parts of northern [[Mexico]], while the '''ocellated turkey''' (''Meleagris ocellata'') is found in the [[Yucatan Peninsula]] of Mexico. ===Marine animals=== '''Elephant seals''' live along the west coast, as does the harmless '''leopard shark'''. ==Plants== ===Carnivorous plants=== The '''Venus flytrap''' is native to an area of [[North Carolina|North]] and [[South Carolina]] within a 60-mile (100-km) radius of [[Wilmington (North Carolina)|Wilmington]]. Other carnivorous plants (sundews, pitcher plants, bladderworts, and butterworts) can be seen in the area as well. Try [[Carolina Beach]] State Park, [[Croatan National Forest]] near the [[Crystal Coast]], or [[Green Swamp]] near [[Wilmington (North Carolina)|Wilmington]]. ===Flowers=== The bright orange '''California poppy''' covers hillsides in parts of [[California]], where it's the state flower, in spring, summer, and fall. One good place to see the flowers is Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve in [[Antelope Valley]]. ===Trees=== '''Redwoods''' are a subfamily of trees including the tallest and the largest trees in the world, found only in [[California]] and [[Oregon]] (the closely related trees in [[China]] are much smaller). These trees can live thousands of years and have a complex and fascinating life cycle involving cones that grow after wildfires. Though they are endangered due to human activity, you can see them in beautiful nature reserves like [[Muir Woods]] near [[San Francisco]]. ==Destinations== * '''[[Canadian National Parks]]''' * '''[[United States National Parks]]''', and other nature reserves in the [[United States National Park System]] ==See also== * [[Old West]] * [[Winter in North America]] {{outlinetopic}} {{PartOfTopic|Natural attractions|North America}} s9ws1l8ymwx9a9mkhztgldlhpqq8zw7 4495982 4495981 2022-08-06T08:01:14Z Dale Arnett 737490 /* Ungulates */ wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|American Bison Antelope Island Utah banner.jpg|caption=Bison on Antelope Island, Utah}} [[Image:Ecozone Nearctic.svg|thumb|400px|The Nearctic realm.]] '''North American wildlife''' is the flora and fauna of the Nearctic region, which consists of most of [[North America]]; [[Greenland]], the continental parts of [[Canada]] and the [[United States]], and inland [[Mexico]].

The mine closed down in 1970 but tourism has taken over, and many old buildings dating back to medieval times have been preserved. {{listing | name=Tourist Information Centre | alt= | url=http://www.visitkremnica.com/en/ | email=infocentrum@kremnica.sk | address=Štefánikovo námestie 35/44 | lat=48.70340 | long=18.91656 | directions= | phone=+421 456742856 | tollfree= | fax= | hours=Daily 08:00-16:00 | price= | lastedit=2017-12-28 | content= }} ==Get in== === By bus === {{Listing|type=go|name=Kremnica Bus Station|alt=Autobusová stanica|url=http://www.sadzv.sk/|email=|address=|lat=48.70381|long=18.91564|directions=Kutnohorská Ulica|phone=|tollfree=|fax=|hours=|price=|wikipedia=|wikidata=|image=|lastedit=2017-12-28|content=}} There is an almost hourly connection to/from Žiar nad Hronom, which in turn has regular connections to Bratislava, Banská Bystrica and Košice.

The journey takes about one hour. From [[Zvolen]] you can catch four trains a day, taking around 45 minutes. It's a scenic ride, but you probably need to take a bus for at least one leg if you want to visit as a daytrip, because the early train is ''very'' early and the last train not so late at all. === By car === Kremnica lies on a minor north-south corridor. From the south take R1 regional highway, then take the exit ''Žiar nad Hronom-Východ'' and just head north. From the north take the D1 motorway, then take the exit ''Martin'', and follow signs for Turčianske Teplice, after which you should keep a right and follow the signs to Kremnica. ==Get around== {{Mapframe|48.7026|18.9164|zoom=15}} The town is small enough to explore on foot. While theoretically you can use the medium-distance buses to travel between stops in Kremnica, it is not a very practical option. In winter season a [http://www.kremnica.sk/zlty-minibus/ yellow minibus] operates on weekends between Kremnica Bus Station and the nearby Skalka mountain and ski resort. In summer season this same bus operates as a cyklobus, so you can take you bicycle on the bus and cruise all the way back down. The fare is €1. ==See== * {{see | name=Town Castle Kremnica | alt=Mestský hrad | url=http://www.muzeumkremnica.sk/en/the-town-castle | email=|image=Kremnica_v_zime.jpg | address=Zámocké námestie 568/1 | lat=48.70624 | long=18.91760 | directions= | phone=+421 456743968 | tollfree= | fax= | hours=Tu-Sa 09:00-16:30, in summer also on Sundays.

The '''Ponte dell'Accademia''' bridge links Dorsoduro with the main tourist quarters in [[Venice/San Marco|San Marco]]. === By vaporetto === The often-crowded '''Line 1''' has three stops in Dorsoduro. Additionally, there's a limited service directly from the airport. The Giudecca island can be reached only by vaporetto lines 2, 4.1, 4.2, 8 and N. === By ferry === Most ferries arrive at the main terminal in [[Venice/Santa Croce|Santa Croce]].

While Australia isn't particularly known for its rainforests, this park will certainly make you reconsider. ==Understand== [[File:MinnamurraRainforest.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Entry to the rainforest]] ===History=== The park has been utilised a lot, although what happened pre European settlement is little known. But the first usage of the area by Europeans was first believed to be in the 1800s. It's also home to the 1853 Kelly's Cottage and its camellia tree, believed to be one of the oldest in the southern hemisphere. Over the 19th century, because of the climate, it's also been a place for dairy farms as well, and hence why the nearby Jamberoo Valley is home to the oldest butter factory in Australia. The park opened on October 3, 1986, covering an area of 60km² and has been one of the most visited national parks in the state. ===Landscape=== Much of the landscape in Budderoo National Park is mountainous, with little to no areas of flat surfaces. Since much of it is rainforest, it also comes with large amount of rivers as well. Parts of the park are also very rocky. ===Flora and fauna=== {{see also|Australasian wildlife}} Budderoo is part of the 7,334-hectare (18,120-acre) Budderoo and Barren Grounds Important Bird Area which contains large numbers of endangered eastern bristlebirds, as well as smaller numbers of pilotbirds and rockwarblers, in a mosaic of sandstone heath and eucalypt woodland habitats. Some of the fauna that may be encountered in this park are the infamously known platypus, and the lesser known superb fairy wren, a somewhat colourful bird of blue and black, as well as numerous other birds and snakes. Types of flora that may be encountered include the cabbage palm, old man banksias and coachwood. Kangaroos, wallabies and koalas are not commonly found with koalas not being able to be found here at all. ===Climate=== {{Climate| units = Metric | janhigh =27.0 | febhigh =26.3 | marhigh =25.3 | aprhigh =23.3 | mayhigh =20.6 | junhigh =18.1 | julhigh =17.8 | aughigh =18.8 | sephigh =21.4 | octhigh =23.1 | novhigh =24.2 | dechigh =25.7 | janlow =17.1 | feblow =17.2 | marlow =15.6 | aprlow =12.1 | maylow =8.9 | junlow =7.2 | jullow =6.3 | auglow =6.5 | seplow =8.5 | octlow =10.9 | novlow =13.4 | declow =15.3 | janprecip =115.9 | febprecip =183.2 | marprecip =167.2 | aprprecip =103.2 | mayprecip =96.8 | junprecip =128.0 | julprecip =90.2 | augprecip =112.2 | sepprecip =81.7 | octprecip =101.6 | novprecip =118.6 | decprecip =90.0 }} The climate is very much cool here all year around. It never goes to the negatives in Budderoo National Park (it rarely goes down to below six degrees in the first place), although on the other hand, it's never too hot as well. The months of February to early April brings a lot of rain into the park, and December and January is bushfire season, and so the best time of the year to visit this park is usually between July to November with September being the driest month. The typical summer climate averages between 17°C and 26°C while the typical winter climate is between 8°C and 17°C. The highest temperature ever recorded in the park was 42.4°C, while the lowest is 2.3°C. ===Visitor information centre=== * {{listing | name=Minnamurra Rainforest Centre | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/visitor-centres/minnamurra-rainforest-centre | email=minnamurra@environment.nsw.gov.au | address=345 Minnamurra Falls Road, Jamberoo | lat=-34.63476 | long=150.7273 | directions= | phone=+61 2 4236 0469 | tollfree= | hours={{time|9AM|5PM}} daily | price= | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=Perched at the edge of the rainforest walk, learn more about the remnant rainforests in the Illawarra in this very eco-friendly visitor centre. Known for its friendly staff, and nearby walks. }} ==Get in== {{mapframe}}{{mapshape|Q956929}} Note that there is a completely separate road going to the visitor centre, which is the most accessible way of going to this park and the most convenient. While Jamberoo Mountain Road also passes through the park, it doesn't have any parking spaces apart from a couple near lookouts, and this is not convenient for doing most of the park's walking trails. To get to Minnamurra Rainforest Centre, from Kiama, it's a {{km|16}} drive up. Use Jamberoo Road and Jamberoo Mountain Road up for about 12km from Kiama, until you hit Minnamurra Falls Road, and turn right there for {{km|3}} up to the rainforest centre (it's at the end of the road). Infrequent bus service is also available from Kiama. ==Fees and permits== The fees are $12 per vehicle to go into the Minnamurra Rainforest but other areas of the park are free to visit. If you enter the park via bus or taxi, it's $4.40 per adult, and $2.20 per child. Fees are paid off at the parking lot. The park gates at Minnamurra Rainforest Centre open at 9AM and close at 5PM daily, so if you're camping, be prepared to enter earlier. ==Get around== Much of the rainforest section in Minnamurra is inaccessible via car, and can only be done via walking. On the contrary, it is possible to take your car to some of the lookouts and waterfalls ''outside'' Minnamurra rainforest, where there are roads, although from Minnamurra, you will need to take a long drive outside the park, down and then back up to get to park (that's outside the Minnamurra section of the rainforest). Parking can be a problem though, particularly in holiday season. Unlike most other Australian rainforests, snakes do not pose a big threat, unless you decide to mess with them and walking can be done, just like how you would in any other place. ==See== [[File:Minnamurra Falls in Budderoo National Park.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Minnamurra Falls from the edge of the Minnamurra Falls walk]] Budderoo National Park is most known for the Minnamurra Rainforest and the lookouts and waterfalls within those it, but it's a shame to think that the Minnamurra Rainforest and the lookouts and waterfalls in this park is the ''only'' thing that's in the park – because this park has much more to offer, including phenomenal valleys such as the one near Kangaroo River as well as the lookouts and falls outside Minnamurra Rainforest, and even the rainforest outside Minnamurra. ===Minnamurra Rainforest=== * {{see | name=Jamberoo lookout | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/lookouts/jamberoo-lookout | email= | address=Jamberoo Mountain Rd (Tourist Drive 9), Budderoo | lat=-34.656137 | long=150.704341 | directions=Note that it's easy to miss the signage to this park, and so pay attention to the signage when going on Jamberoo Mtn Road. | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=Most of the time, you can visibly see the towns of Kiama, Lake Illawarra, Albion Park, and if you're lucky enough, you might as well get a glimpse of parts of Wollongong. }} * {{see | name=Minnamurra Falls | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/minnamurra-falls-walk | email= | address= | lat=-34.63416 | long=150.716096 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q21906015 | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=It is a {{km|2.1}} walk from the rainforest centre to the falls, but those 2.1 km fly within minutes.

Each of these trails have something breathtaking, all in their own right. ===Cycling=== The '''[https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/cycling-trails/budderoo-track Budderoo track]''' is a {{km|24}} cycling trail return, which takes approximately about two hours, but can take more or less depending on cycling experience. This park covers most of the park, except the rainforest in Minnamurra. The trail just ends a slightly west of Jamberoo lookout, but if you've got the energy to, then it's definitely worth the effort as the views are more than rewarding. ==Buy== * {{buy | name=Minnamurra Rainforest Centre | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/visitor-centres/minnamurra-rainforest-centre | email=minnamurra@environment.nsw.gov.au | address=345 Minnamurra Falls Road, Jamberoo | lat=-34.6346 | long=150.7272 | directions= | phone=+61 2 4236 0469 | tollfree= | hours=9AM-5PM daily | price= | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=On top of being a visitor information centre, this place also sells books, hats, and other souvenirs. }} ==Eat and drink== There are no places to eat nor drink in Budderoo National Park except for light refreshments sold at the visitor centre, and so you will most likely need to bring your own food if you're not going to leave the park. There was a cafe in the visitor centre, although that has since closed since November 2020 ([https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/visitor-centres/minnamurra-rainforest-centre/local-alerts check for local alerts here]) and as of March 2022, it still remains closed with only the light refreshments as part of the gift shop. However, it's not uncommon for visitors to head down to [[Kiama]] or up to [[Robertson]] for lunch. There are however, some picnic areas in which this page covers. * {{eat | name=Nellies Glen picnic area | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/picnic-areas/nellies-glen-picnic-area | email= | address=Nellies Glen trail, Robertson | lat=-34.623164 | long=150.65619 | directions=a few minutes walk from the Cloonty Rd junction | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=Nellies Glen picnic area is very close to some scenic waterfall views, and a large number of bushwalks nearby, also meaning that there's a large number of lookouts nearby. Come here in spring, and you may as well see some birds such as the lyrebird mate. }} * {{eat | name=Minnamurra Rainforest picnic area | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/picnic-areas/minnamurra-rainforest-picnic-area | email= | address=Minnamurra Falls Rd, Jamberoo | lat=-34.634672 | long=150.727831 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=This small picnic area is surrounded in a lush rainforest. Perfect spot for lunch. }} ==Sleep== Given the nature of this place, there is only one campground in this park, and that one campground only has very limited spots. Hence, during holiday season, it's pretty easy to miss out on a spot. And if you do miss out on one, then not to worry, but there is accommodation in nearby [[Kiama]] or [[Robertson]]. But generally, Budderoo National Park is a day trip from Sydney, and most people who reside in Sydney don't usually camp here. * {{sleep | name=Carrington Falls campground | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/camping-and-accommodation/campgrounds/carrington-falls-campground | email= | address=Carrington Falls Rd, Robertson | lat=-34.61901 | long=150.656651 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | checkin=2PM | checkout=10AM | price= | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=This campground is not near one, nor two but three different lookouts; all within a nearby proximity. But it comes with a cost, as there's only six campsites available, so book well ahead in advance. If you do come here and stay in spring, you'll have the bonus of a) seeing lyrebirds mate b) coming in blossoming season. }} ==Stay safe== Safety is not a concern at all in Budderoo National Park although supervise children close to the waterfalls. Snakes are not an issue here, and same with most other wildlife. They're only a threat if ''you'' mess with them, but otherwise they'll just be doing their business. ==Go next== * Head down east to [[Kiama]] or head up west to [[Robertson]] {{IsPartOf|Illawarra}}

Granger 132185 +wikilink wikitext text/x-wiki {{pagebanner|Budderoo National Park wikivoyage banner.jpg|pgname=Budderoo National Park}} {{featurenomination|otbp}} '''[https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/visit-a-park/parks/budderoo-national-park Budderoo National Park]''' is a national park in the [[Illawarra]] region of [[New South Wales]] known for its waterfalls and rainforests in particular, more specifically; Minnamurra – hence why you may hear Minnamurra more than Budderoo National Park. While Australia isn't particularly known for its rainforests, this park will certainly make you reconsider. ==Understand== [[File:MinnamurraRainforest.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Entry to the rainforest]] ===History=== The park has been utilised a lot, although what happened pre European settlement is little known. But the first usage of the area by Europeans was first believed to be in the 1800s. It's also home to the 1853 Kelly's Cottage and its camellia tree, believed to be one of the oldest in the southern hemisphere. Over the 19th century, because of the climate, it's also been a place for dairy farms as well, and hence why the nearby Jamberoo Valley is home to the oldest butter factory in Australia. The park opened on October 3, 1986, covering an area of 60km² and has been one of the most visited national parks in the state. ===Landscape=== Much of the landscape in Budderoo National Park is mountainous, with little to no areas of flat surfaces. Since much of it is rainforest, it also comes with large amount of rivers as well. Parts of the park are also very rocky. ===Flora and fauna=== {{see also|Australasian wildlife}} Budderoo is part of the 7,334-hectare (18,120-acre) Budderoo and Barren Grounds Important Bird Area which contains large numbers of endangered eastern bristlebirds, as well as smaller numbers of pilotbirds and rockwarblers, in a mosaic of sandstone heath and eucalypt woodland habitats. Some of the fauna that may be encountered in this park are the infamously known platypus, and the lesser known superb fairy wren, a somewhat colourful bird of blue and black, as well as numerous other birds and snakes. Types of flora that may be encountered include the cabbage palm, old man banksias and coachwood. Kangaroos, wallabies and koalas are not commonly found with koalas not being able to be found here at all. ===Climate=== {{Climate| units = Metric | janhigh =27.0 | febhigh =26.3 | marhigh =25.3 | aprhigh =23.3 | mayhigh =20.6 | junhigh =18.1 | julhigh =17.8 | aughigh =18.8 | sephigh =21.4 | octhigh =23.1 | novhigh =24.2 | dechigh =25.7 | janlow =17.1 | feblow =17.2 | marlow =15.6 | aprlow =12.1 | maylow =8.9 | junlow =7.2 | jullow =6.3 | auglow =6.5 | seplow =8.5 | octlow =10.9 | novlow =13.4 | declow =15.3 | janprecip =115.9 | febprecip =183.2 | marprecip =167.2 | aprprecip =103.2 | mayprecip =96.8 | junprecip =128.0 | julprecip =90.2 | augprecip =112.2 | sepprecip =81.7 | octprecip =101.6 | novprecip =118.6 | decprecip =90.0 }} The climate is very much cool here all year around. It never goes to the negatives in Budderoo National Park (it rarely goes down to below six degrees in the first place), although on the other hand, it's never too hot as well. The months of February to early April brings a lot of rain into the park, and December and January is bushfire season, and so the best time of the year to visit this park is usually between July to November with September being the driest month. The typical summer climate averages between 17°C and 26°C while the typical winter climate is between 8°C and 17°C. The highest temperature ever recorded in the park was 42.4°C, while the lowest is 2.3°C. ===Visitor information centre=== * {{listing | name=Minnamurra Rainforest Centre | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/visitor-centres/minnamurra-rainforest-centre | email=minnamurra@environment.nsw.gov.au | address=345 Minnamurra Falls Road, Jamberoo | lat=-34.63476 | long=150.7273 | directions= | phone=+61 2 4236 0469 | tollfree= | hours={{time|9AM|5PM}} daily | price= | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=Perched at the edge of the rainforest walk, learn more about the remnant rainforests in the Illawarra in this very eco-friendly visitor centre. Known for its friendly staff, and nearby walks. }} ==Get in== {{mapframe}}{{mapshape|Q956929}} Note that there is a completely separate road going to the visitor centre, which is the most accessible way of going to this park and the most convenient. While Jamberoo Mountain Road also passes through the park, it doesn't have any parking spaces apart from a couple near lookouts, and this is not convenient for doing most of the park's walking trails. To get to Minnamurra Rainforest Centre, from [[Kiama]], it's a {{km|16}} drive up. Use Jamberoo Road and Jamberoo Mountain Road up for about 12km from Kiama, until you hit Minnamurra Falls Road, and turn right there for {{km|3}} up to the rainforest centre (it's at the end of the road). Infrequent bus service is also available from Kiama. ==Fees and permits== The fees are $12 per vehicle to go into the Minnamurra Rainforest but other areas of the park are free to visit. If you enter the park via bus or taxi, it's $4.40 per adult, and $2.20 per child. Fees are paid off at the parking lot. The park gates at Minnamurra Rainforest Centre open at 9AM and close at 5PM daily, so if you're camping, be prepared to enter earlier. ==Get around== Much of the rainforest section in Minnamurra is inaccessible via car, and can only be done via walking. On the contrary, it is possible to take your car to some of the lookouts and waterfalls ''outside'' Minnamurra rainforest, where there are roads, although from Minnamurra, you will need to take a long drive outside the park, down and then back up to get to park (that's outside the Minnamurra section of the rainforest). Parking can be a problem though, particularly in holiday season. Unlike most other Australian rainforests, snakes do not pose a big threat, unless you decide to mess with them and walking can be done, just like how you would in any other place. ==See== [[File:Minnamurra Falls in Budderoo National Park.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Minnamurra Falls from the edge of the Minnamurra Falls walk]] Budderoo National Park is most known for the Minnamurra Rainforest and the lookouts and waterfalls within those it, but it's a shame to think that the Minnamurra Rainforest and the lookouts and waterfalls in this park is the ''only'' thing that's in the park – because this park has much more to offer, including phenomenal valleys such as the one near Kangaroo River as well as the lookouts and falls outside Minnamurra Rainforest, and even the rainforest outside Minnamurra. ===Minnamurra Rainforest=== * {{see | name=Jamberoo lookout | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/lookouts/jamberoo-lookout | email= | address=Jamberoo Mountain Rd (Tourist Drive 9), Budderoo | lat=-34.656137 | long=150.704341 | directions=Note that it's easy to miss the signage to this park, and so pay attention to the signage when going on Jamberoo Mtn Road. | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=Most of the time, you can visibly see the towns of Kiama, Lake Illawarra, Albion Park, and if you're lucky enough, you might as well get a glimpse of parts of Wollongong. }} * {{see | name=Minnamurra Falls | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/minnamurra-falls-walk | email= | address= | lat=-34.63416 | long=150.716096 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q21906015 | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=It is a {{km|2.1}} walk from the rainforest centre to the falls, but those 2.1 km fly within minutes.

But again, it's appalling to think that these are the "only" scenic bushwalks, since there are other trails as well, just not in Minnamurra Rainforest. Other trails include the {{km|0.6}} [https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/carrington-falls-walking-track Carrington Falls track] going to Carrington Falls, the [https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/izzards-lookout-track Izzards lookout track]; a {{km|1.1}} trail to Izzards lookout as suggested by its name, the [https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/missingham-lookout-track Missingham lookout track]; a {{km|3.8}} return trail to Missingham lookout, and the [https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/warris-chair-lookout-track Warris Chair lookout track], a {{km|1}} return trail. Each of these trails have something breathtaking, all in their own right. ===Cycling=== The '''[https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/cycling-trails/budderoo-track Budderoo track]''' is a {{km|24}} cycling trail return, which takes approximately about two hours, but can take more or less depending on cycling experience. This park covers most of the park, except the rainforest in Minnamurra. The trail just ends a slightly west of Jamberoo lookout, but if you've got the energy to, then it's definitely worth the effort as the views are more than rewarding. ==Buy== * {{buy | name=Minnamurra Rainforest Centre | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/visitor-centres/minnamurra-rainforest-centre | email=minnamurra@environment.nsw.gov.au | address=345 Minnamurra Falls Road, Jamberoo | lat=-34.6346 | long=150.7272 | directions= | phone=+61 2 4236 0469 | tollfree= | hours=9AM-5PM daily | price= | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=On top of being a visitor information centre, this place also sells books, hats, and other souvenirs. }} ==Eat and drink== There are no places to eat nor drink in Budderoo National Park except for light refreshments sold at the visitor centre, and so you will most likely need to bring your own food if you're not going to leave the park. There was a cafe in the visitor centre, although that has since closed since November 2020 ([https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/visitor-centres/minnamurra-rainforest-centre/local-alerts check for local alerts here]) and as of March 2022, it still remains closed with only the light refreshments as part of the gift shop. However, it's not uncommon for visitors to head down to [[Kiama]] or up to [[Robertson]] for lunch. There are however, some picnic areas in which this page covers. * {{eat | name=Nellies Glen picnic area | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/picnic-areas/nellies-glen-picnic-area | email= | address=Nellies Glen trail, Robertson | lat=-34.623164 | long=150.65619 | directions=a few minutes walk from the Cloonty Rd junction | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=Nellies Glen picnic area is very close to some scenic waterfall views, and a large number of bushwalks nearby, also meaning that there's a large number of lookouts nearby.

Hence, during holiday season, it's pretty easy to miss out on a spot. And if you do miss out on one, then not to worry, but there is accommodation in nearby [[Kiama]] or [[Robertson]]. But generally, Budderoo National Park is a day trip from Sydney, and most people who reside in Sydney don't usually camp here. * {{sleep | name=Carrington Falls campground | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/camping-and-accommodation/campgrounds/carrington-falls-campground | email= | address=Carrington Falls Rd, Robertson | lat=-34.61901 | long=150.656651 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | checkin=2PM | checkout=10AM | price= | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=This campground is not near one, nor two but three different lookouts; all within a nearby proximity.

If you do come here and stay in spring, you'll have the bonus of a) seeing lyrebirds mate b) coming in blossoming season. }} ==Stay safe== Safety is not a concern at all in Budderoo National Park although supervise children close to the waterfalls. Snakes are not an issue here, and same with most other wildlife.

{{pagebanner|Budderoo National Park wikivoyage banner.jpg|pgname=Budderoo National Park}} {{featurenomination|otbp}} '''[https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/visit-a-park/parks/budderoo-national-park Budderoo National Park]''' is a national park in the [[Illawarra]] region of [[New South Wales]] known for its waterfalls and rainforests in particular, more specifically; Minnamurra – hence why you may hear Minnamurra more than Budderoo National Park. While Australia isn't particularly known for its rainforests, this park will certainly make you reconsider. ==Understand== [[File:MinnamurraRainforest.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Entry to the rainforest]] ===History=== The park has been utilised a lot, although what happened pre European settlement is little known. But the first usage of the area by Europeans was first believed to be in the 1800s. It's also home to the 1853 Kelly's Cottage and its camellia tree, believed to be one of the oldest in the southern hemisphere. Over the 19th century, because of the climate, it's also been a place for dairy farms as well, and hence why the nearby Jamberoo Valley is home to the oldest butter factory in Australia. The park opened on October 3, 1986, covering an area of 60km² and has been one of the most visited national parks in the state. ===Landscape=== Much of the landscape in Budderoo National Park is mountainous, with little to no areas of flat surfaces. Since much of it is rainforest, it also comes with large amount of rivers as well. Parts of the park are also very rocky. ===Flora and fauna=== {{see also|Australasian wildlife}} Budderoo is part of the 7,334-hectare (18,120-acre) Budderoo and Barren Grounds Important Bird Area which contains large numbers of endangered eastern bristlebirds, as well as smaller numbers of pilotbirds and rockwarblers, in a mosaic of sandstone heath and eucalypt woodland habitats. Some of the fauna that may be encountered in this park are the infamously known platypus, and the lesser known superb fairy wren, a somewhat colourful bird of blue and black, as well as numerous other birds and snakes. Types of flora that may be encountered include the cabbage palm, old man banksias and coachwood. Kangaroos, wallabies and koalas are not commonly found with koalas not being able to be found here at all. ===Climate=== {{Climate| units = Metric | janhigh =27.0 | febhigh =26.3 | marhigh =25.3 | aprhigh =23.3 | mayhigh =20.6 | junhigh =18.1 | julhigh =17.8 | aughigh =18.8 | sephigh =21.4 | octhigh =23.1 | novhigh =24.2 | dechigh =25.7 | janlow =17.1 | feblow =17.2 | marlow =15.6 | aprlow =12.1 | maylow =8.9 | junlow =7.2 | jullow =6.3 | auglow =6.5 | seplow =8.5 | octlow =10.9 | novlow =13.4 | declow =15.3 | janprecip =115.9 | febprecip =183.2 | marprecip =167.2 | aprprecip =103.2 | mayprecip =96.8 | junprecip =128.0 | julprecip =90.2 | augprecip =112.2 | sepprecip =81.7 | octprecip =101.6 | novprecip =118.6 | decprecip =90.0 }} The climate is very much cool here all year around. It never goes to the negatives in Budderoo National Park (it rarely goes down to below six degrees in the first place), although on the other hand, it's never too hot as well. The months of February to early April brings a lot of rain into the park, and December and January is bushfire season, and so the best time of the year to visit this park is usually between July to November with September being the driest month. The typical summer climate averages between 17°C and 26°C while the typical winter climate is between 8°C and 17°C. The highest temperature ever recorded in the park was 42.4°C, while the lowest is 2.3°C. ===Visitor information centre=== * {{listing | name=Minnamurra Rainforest Centre | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/visitor-centres/minnamurra-rainforest-centre | email=minnamurra@environment.nsw.gov.au | address=345 Minnamurra Falls Road, Jamberoo | lat=-34.63476 | long=150.7273 | directions= | phone=+61 2 4236 0469 | tollfree= | hours={{time|9AM|5PM}} daily | price= | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=Perched at the edge of the rainforest walk, learn more about the remnant rainforests in the Illawarra in this very eco-friendly visitor centre. Known for its friendly staff, and nearby walks. }} ==Get in== {{mapframe}}{{mapshape|Q956929}} Note that there is a completely separate road going to the visitor centre, which is the most accessible way of going to this park and the most convenient. While Jamberoo Mountain Road also passes through the park, it doesn't have any parking spaces apart from a couple near lookouts, and this is not convenient for doing most of the park's walking trails. To get to Minnamurra Rainforest Centre, from [[Kiama]], it's a {{km|16}} drive up. Use Jamberoo Road and Jamberoo Mountain Road up for about 12 km from Kiama, until you hit Minnamurra Falls Road, and turn right there for {{km|3}} up to the rainforest centre (it's at the end of the road). Infrequent bus service is also available from Kiama. ==Fees and permits== The fees are $12 per vehicle to go into the Minnamurra Rainforest but other areas of the park are free to visit. If you enter the park via bus or taxi, it's $4.40 per adult, and $2.20 per child. Fees are paid off at the parking lot. The park gates at Minnamurra Rainforest Centre open at 9AM and close at 5PM daily, so if you're camping, be prepared to enter earlier. ==Get around== Much of the rainforest section in Minnamurra is inaccessible via car, and can only be done via walking. On the contrary, it is possible to take your car to some of the lookouts and waterfalls ''outside'' Minnamurra rainforest, where there are roads, although from Minnamurra, you will need to take a long drive outside the park, down and then back up to get to park (that's outside the Minnamurra section of the rainforest). Parking can be a problem though, particularly in holiday season. Unlike most other Australian rainforests, snakes do not pose a big threat, unless you decide to mess with them and walking can be done, just like how you would in any other place. ==See== [[File:Minnamurra Falls in Budderoo National Park.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Minnamurra Falls from the edge of the Minnamurra Falls walk]] Budderoo National Park is most known for the Minnamurra Rainforest and the lookouts and waterfalls within those it, but it's a shame to think that the Minnamurra Rainforest and the lookouts and waterfalls in this park is the ''only'' thing that's in the park – because this park has much more to offer, including phenomenal valleys such as the one near Kangaroo River as well as the lookouts and falls outside Minnamurra Rainforest, and even the rainforest outside Minnamurra. ===Minnamurra Rainforest=== * {{see | name=Jamberoo lookout | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/lookouts/jamberoo-lookout | email= | address=Jamberoo Mountain Rd (Tourist Drive 9), Budderoo | lat=-34.656137 | long=150.704341 | directions=Note that it's easy to miss the signage to this park, and so pay attention to the signage when going on Jamberoo Mtn Road. | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=Most of the time, you can visibly see the towns of Kiama, Lake Illawarra, Albion Park, and if you're lucky enough, you might as well get a glimpse of parts of Wollongong. }} * {{see | name=Minnamurra Falls | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/minnamurra-falls-walk | email= | address= | lat=-34.63416 | long=150.716096 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | wikidata=Q21906015 | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=It is a {{km|2.1}} walk from the rainforest centre to the falls, but those 2.1 km fly within minutes.

But again, it's appalling to think that these are the "only" scenic bushwalks, since there are other trails as well, just not in Minnamurra Rainforest. Other trails include the {{km|0.6}} [https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/carrington-falls-walking-track Carrington Falls track] going to Carrington Falls, the [https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/izzards-lookout-track Izzards lookout track]; a {{km|1.1}} trail to Izzards lookout as suggested by its name, the [https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/missingham-lookout-track Missingham lookout track]; a {{km|3.8}} return trail to Missingham lookout, and the [https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/warris-chair-lookout-track Warris Chair lookout track], a {{km|1}} return trail. Each of these trails have something breathtaking, all in their own right. ===Cycling=== The '''[https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/cycling-trails/budderoo-track Budderoo track]''' is a {{km|24}} cycling trail return, which takes approximately about two hours, but can take more or less depending on cycling experience. This park covers most of the park, except the rainforest in Minnamurra. The trail just ends a slightly west of Jamberoo lookout, but if you've got the energy to, then it's definitely worth the effort as the views are more than rewarding. ==Buy== * {{buy | name=Minnamurra Rainforest Centre | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/visitor-centres/minnamurra-rainforest-centre | email=minnamurra@environment.nsw.gov.au | address=345 Minnamurra Falls Road, Jamberoo | lat=-34.6346 | long=150.7272 | directions= | phone=+61 2 4236 0469 | tollfree= | hours=9AM-5PM daily | price= | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=On top of being a visitor information centre, this place also sells books, hats, and other souvenirs. }} ==Eat and drink== There are no places to eat nor drink in Budderoo National Park except for light refreshments sold at the visitor centre, and so you will most likely need to bring your own food if you're not going to leave the park. There was a cafe in the visitor centre, although that has since closed since November 2020 ([https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/visitor-centres/minnamurra-rainforest-centre/local-alerts check for local alerts here]) and as of March 2022, it still remains closed with only the light refreshments as part of the gift shop. However, it's not uncommon for visitors to head down to [[Kiama]] or up to [[Robertson]] for lunch. There are however, some picnic areas in which this page covers. * {{eat | name=Nellies Glen picnic area | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/picnic-areas/nellies-glen-picnic-area | email= | address=Nellies Glen trail, Robertson | lat=-34.623164 | long=150.65619 | directions=a few minutes walk from the Cloonty Rd junction | phone= | tollfree= | hours= | price= | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=Nellies Glen picnic area is very close to some scenic waterfall views, and a large number of bushwalks nearby, also meaning that there's a large number of lookouts nearby.

Perfect spot for lunch. }} ==Sleep== Given the nature of this place, there is only one campground in this park, and that one campground only has very limited spots. Hence, during holiday season, it's pretty easy to miss out on a spot. And if you do miss out on one, then not to worry, but there is accommodation in nearby [[Kiama]] or [[Robertson]]. But generally, Budderoo National Park is a day trip from Sydney, and most people who reside in Sydney don't usually camp here. * {{sleep | name=Carrington Falls campground | alt= | url=https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/camping-and-accommodation/campgrounds/carrington-falls-campground | email= | address=Carrington Falls Rd, Robertson | lat=-34.61901 | long=150.656651 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | checkin=2PM | checkout=10AM | price= | lastedit=2021-10-21 | content=This campground is not near one, nor two but three different lookouts; all within a nearby proximity. But it comes with a cost, as there's only six campsites available, so book well ahead in advance. If you do come here and stay in spring, you'll have the bonus of a) seeing lyrebirds mate b) coming in blossoming season. }} ==Stay safe== Safety is not a concern at all in Budderoo National Park although supervise children close to the waterfalls. Snakes are not an issue here, and same with most other wildlife. They're only a threat if ''you'' mess with them, but otherwise they'll just be doing their business. ==Go next== * Head down east to [[Kiama]] or head up west to [[Robertson]] {{IsPartOf|Illawarra}}

Route 138 arrived in Baie-Johan-Beetz in 1996. For 20 years, from 1976 to 1996, Havre-Saint-Pierre was the end point to the east of Route 138, which runs along the north shore of the river and the Gulf of St. Lawrence; which generated a considerable tourist development. The engineers' challenge was to build infrastructure to span several rivers, including (in order from west to east): Moisie, Matamec, Loups Marins, Pigou, Bouleau, Sault Plat, Tortue, Sault Blanc, Manitou, at Graines, at La Chaloupe, Sheldrake, Couture, Jim-Hearst, Moyac, Duck, at Tonnerre, Brûlée, Béline, Magpie, Saint-Coeur, Saint-Jean, Mingan, Kamenakapeu and Romaine. In 1996, another segment of Route 138 was opened up to Natashquan, further east. Finally, in 2013, the final segment of this road reached [[Kegaska]]. ===By bus=== * {{Listing |name=Intercar |url=http://www.intercar.ca/ |email=serviceclient@intercar.ca |phone=+1-418-547-2167 |toll free=+1-800-806-2167 |lastedit=2022-07-14 |description=Intercar operates a bus line several days a week between [[Havre-Saint-Pierre]] and [[Sept-Îles]]; the travel time between these two cities is 2 hr 45 min.

The 67-km-long route (42-mi) sees some 16.5 million passengers per year travel on the line. ===History=== The modern-day tramline was formed from several lines of the Belgian Local Tramways (Dutch: ''Nationale Maatschappij van Buurtspoorwegen'' or ''NMVB'' for short), with the first construction of lines taking place around 1885, connecting [[Ostend]] and [[Nieuwpoort|Nieuwpoort-Dorp]]. The NMBS operated many other lines branching off of what is now the Kusttram, most of which have since disappeared. The line was, and to this day largely is single-tracked, with trams running left-handed like Belgian trains do to this day. Electrification on parts of the lines started in 1909. That winter, services were continued year-round, whereas services used to be suspended during the winter. During the [[First World War]], the tramline was severed by the front around Nieuwpoort. The line was put to use for goods transport towards the trenches on either side of the frontline. During 1919, the normal passenger services were reinstated. The modern-day route of the tramline formed in the late 1920s, as connections to De Panne were made and electrified. The line since runs almost parallel to the coast, only dipping inland to connect to Nieuwpoort. Plans to bypass Nieuwpoort were made, but never materialised. The [[Second World War]] saw the Belgian coast become a part of the [[Atlantikwall]], which put in place many limitations to passenger transport. Citizens along the coast needed special permission to be allowed to travel inland. In 1940, before Nazi German occupation, the line was already set to be dismantled, though the outbreak of the war stopped any plans from materialising. During Nazi German occupation, electrification was removed between Ostend and Middelkerke, followed by a later ban on all services along the coast. After liberation in September 1944, the coastal route was quickly rebuilt and put back into service by the middle of December. Despite arguments being made to demolish the line to be replaced by buses, the NMVB politely declined, but did close some of the branch lines as time progressed. From 1956 onward, the line operated in two sections, line 1 (Knokke - Ostend) and line 2 (De Panne - Ostend). Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, a clear movement for demolition of the tramway existed, though the NMVB never gave in to these, arguing that during summer, some 900 people needed transportation with the service every half hour in Ostend alone. Alternatives were proposed in the form of an underground railway or elevated railway line. Both were deemed far too expensive and never materialised. In 1991, the line came under operation by De Lijn (Dutch for ''The Line''), which operates most public transit excluding trains in most of [[Flanders]]. New tracks and new rolling stock made the trams faster and more frequent, leading to services with a tram up to every 7½ minutes on some parts of the route. Since the summer of 2001, demand became so high that a 10-minute service along the entire route was put in place. The last extension to the tramline happened in 1998, when the train station in Adinkerke (named ''De Panne'') was connected to the network. ===Pricing=== {| class=wikitable mw-collapsible align=right |+Day-pass pricing !Type !!Children (age 5 or younger) !!Children (ages 6 - 11) !!

Officially named ''LRV'' or ''Light Rail Véhicule'', these trams are more often nicknamed '''BN's''' after the company that produced it, ''La Brugeoise et Nivelles''. The coastal versions (Series 6000) are single-directional vehicles, whereas the Charleroi versions (Series 6100) are bidirectional. Additionally, the coastal stock can run 10 kph faster, having a top speed of {{convert|75|kph|mph}}. The Charleroi stock did start out running along the coast, as coast-bound stock was not yet completed in 1980. Since 1982 though, the Series 6000 operates along the coast, replacing the previous long trams with three pulled trailers, leading to a higher frequency of operation. The Series 6000 started out as {{convert|21|m|ft}} long trams, but since modernisation into a second generation, they come in at a length of {{convert|31.2|m|ft}}. The second generation also saw the top speed raised to {{convert|85|kph|mph}}. Due to several accidents and collisions over time, 44 trams of the Series 6000 remain in 2020. The second generation of Series 6000 can transport some 310 passengers, 73 of which are seated, 237 of which are standing. The middle of its three wagons has a lower floor for wheelchair access. ====Bombardier-Siemens HermeLijn==== The '''HermeLijn''' stock consist of trams taken in from the [[Ghent]] tramways, with two units being in operation on the coastal tramline during summers as to support a higher frequency of operation. Its name is a play on the Dutch name of a stoat, as its livery faintly reminds of the mammal. The L is capitalised to emphasise the name of the operator: ''De Lijn''. The HermeLijn can transport up to 192 people, 58 of which can be seated. The trams, produced between 1999 and 2012, can reach top speeds of up to {{convert|70|kph|mph}} and have a low floor, allowing for wheelchair access. ====CAF Urbos 100 / Zeelijner==== The '''Urbos 100''', nicknamed the ''Zeelijner'' (''Sea liner'') is being put into service to replace the Series 6000. The 48 to 146 units are being put into service since April 2021. They have a capacity of 187, 54 of which are seated, and another 20 are fold-down seats. ====Historical stock==== [[File:Tramparade 1 type S en zomerrijtuigen.jpg|thumb|One of the many trams preserved by TTO, pulling two open summer carriages during a parade in celebration of 125 years of tramways along the coast, pictured near Middelkerke.]] The '''TTO Noordzee''' has ten historical motor coaches that have once operated along the coast or elsewhere in Europe. TTO is based in the tram depot in De Panne, from where they operate "historical services" between De Panne Loskaai and Adinkerke Station. The journey takes some 40 minutes, and departs every Saturday, Sunday and bank holiday of July and August at 13:30, 14:30, 15:30 and 16:30, if a tram operator is available. The journey costs {{EUR|4}}, and children up to the age of six travel for free. Other special running days for historical running stock are on "Open Monumentendag" (second Sunday of September), and a Christmas service from the 26th to the 30th of December. The depot in De Panne can always be visited free. TTO's stock can also be [https://promottonoordzee.wixsite.com/mysite/contacteer-ons rented] for special occasions. ==Prepare== The trip goes through built-up areas with shops, restaurants and other services so you don't need to make any big preparations. Just make sure you have a valid ticket and dress according to the weather (perhaps bring an umbrella). A towel and swimwear can be good to bring if you want to go to the beaches. When travelling with a bike, the tram driver may deny you access if there are already too many bikes on the tram or the tram is too crowded. You must buy a bicycle pass ({{EUR|2}} for 60 min) in addition to your personal ticket to bring a bike onto a tram. If you are travelling with dogs, you may take them on the tram for free, provided that you can keep them leashed or on your lap. It's recommended to travel lightly packed, though if you have no other way, stow your luggage away somewhere where it doesn't block a seat, for example on your lap, between your legs or somewhere else where it will not hinder other travellers. It is also not allowed to eat while travelling on the tram, as to keep the vehicles clean. ===Accessibility=== While the trams are either partially or entirely low-floored, allowing for wheelchair access, not all platforms are at that same height. As of 2019, the wheelchair-<u>in</u>accessible halts are: Knokke Station; Duinbergen Watertoren; Zeebrugge Vaart and Strandwijk; Oostende Marie-Joséplein; Middelkere Casino; Oostduinkerke Bad; Koksijde Bad; De Panne Golfstraat, Centrum, Kerk and Moeder Lambic. Mobility scooters are ''not'' allowed on board a tram. ==Get in== ===By plane=== [[Ostend]] has an airport, Ostend-Bruges International Airport {{IATA|OST}}, but it mostly sees goods traffic. A much more sensible option would be to fly to [[Brussels#By plane|Brussels Zaventem-Airport]] and taking a car or train from there. ===By train=== [[File:De Panne Station 01.JPG|thumb|Arguably the easiest train-tram transfer can be made in Knokke, with trams stopping within a stone's throw of the trains.]] <!--I omitted naming peak hour (P) and L-services unless that is the only service stopping at the station--> Below is an overview of ''all'' connections to the Belgian rail network. The recommended and useful connections have been underlined. * {{Marker|type=go|lat=51.3398 |long=3.2840 |name={{Station|<u>Knokke</u>|city=be|rail}} |image=Voorzijde N.M.B.S.-station Knokke, Maurice-Lippensplein 26, Knokke (Knokke-Heist).JPG}}: The tram terminus in Knokke is located about 200 metres north of the train station. Trains stopping in Knokke are Intercity 23A ([[Brussels Airport|Zaventem Airport]] - [[Brussels|Brussels-South]] - [[Ghent|Gent-Sint-Pieters]] - [[Brugge]] - Knokke), as well as a peak hour and tourist train connecting to Brugge during the week and weekend respectively. ** IC 23A: [[Brussels Airport|Zaventem Airport]] — [[Brussels|Brussels-South]] — [[Ghent|Gent-Sint-Pieters]] — [[Bruges|Brugge]] — Knokke ** ICT 6600: Brugge — Knokke, ''tourist train, operates on weekends only''. * {{Marker|type=go|lat=51.3383 |long=3.2636 |name={{Station|Duinbergen|city=be|rail}} |image=Station Duinbergen 3.jpg}}, some 300 metres south from the tram halt of the same name, but is not recommended as the station is just one stop away from Knokke, which is the turn-around point for trams, hence making the connection easier. Yet, if you need to shave several minutes of time off of your journey and are heading for Heist, [[Zeebrugge]] or further west by Kusttram, consider catching the tram here instead. Heist itself also has a train station, though it is {{convert|700|m|ft}} from the nearest tram halt. * {{Marker|type=go|lat=51.3264 |long=3.1949 |name={{Station|Zeebrugge-Dorp|city=be|rail}} |image=Station Zeebrugge-Dorp 1.jpg}}: Tram halt ''Zeebrugge Vaart'' is located about 200 metres north of the train station, at the end of the Azorenstraat. Zeebrugge-Dorp's train services don't operate during the weekends, with services being rerouted to Zeebrugge-Strand instead, which does not have a useful connection to the Kusttram. ** L 550: ([[Mechelen]] —) Gent-Sint-Pieters — Brugge — Zeebrugge-Dorp, ''weekdays only''. * {{Marker|type=go|lat=51.3123 |long=3.1338 |name={{Station|<u>Blankenberge</u>|city=be|rail}} |image=Spoorwegstation Blankenberge - 2019 (03).jpg}} has trams stopping right outside the train station. Blankenburge can be reached using one intercity (IC) and three tourist trains (ICT): ** IC 03: [[Genk]] — [[Leuven]] — Brussels-South — Gent-Sint-Pieters — Brugge — Blankenberge ** ICT 6700: [[Charleroi|Charleroi-South]] — [[Mons]] — [[Tournai]] — [[Mouscron]] — Brugge — Blankenberge ** ICT 6705: [[Antwerp|Antwerpen Centraal]] — Gent-Sint-Pieters — Brugge — Blankenberge ** ICT 6710: ([[Neerpelt]]/[[Turnhout]] —) [[Herentals]] — [[Mechelen]] — Gent-Sint-Pieters — Brugge — Blankenberge * {{Marker|type=go|lat=51.2282 |long=2.9261 |name={{Station|<u>Oostende</u> (Ostend)|city=be|rail}} |image=Station Oostende Hal.jpg}}: The Kusttram has its halts integrated into the station, which can be reached by the most intercity services, these being: ** IC 01: [[Eupen]] — [[Liège|Liège-Guillemins]] — [[Brussels|Brussels-South]] — [[Bruges|Brugge]] — Ostend ** IC 02: [[Antwerp|Antwerpen Centraal]] — [[Ghent|Gent-Sint-Pieters]] — Ostend ** IC 12: [[Welkenraedt]] — Liège-Guillemins — Brussels-South — Gent-Sint-Pieters — [[Kortrijk]] (— Brugge — Ostend), ''only in service on weekdays''. ** IC 23: [[Brussels Airport|Zaventem Airport]] — Brussels-South — Kortrijk — Brugge — Ostend ** IC 32: Kortrijk — [[Lichtervelde]] — Brugge — Ostend ** ICT 6800: [[Tongeren]] — [[Hasselt]] — Brussels-South — Gent-Sint-Pieters — Brugge — Ostend, ''tourist train - only in service during July and August''. * {{Marker|type=go|lat=51.0773 |long=2.6021 |name={{Station|<u>De Panne</u> (Adinkerke)|city=be|rail}} |image=Station De Panne 3.jpg}} is the western-most end of the Kusttram, which stops alongside the trains. The line here might be continued to [[Dunkirk]] (France) in the future, though until that date, the following services call this the end of the line: ** IC 28: Antwerpen Centraal — Gent-Sint-Pieters — Lichtervelde — De Panne, ''only in service on weekdays''. ** IC 29: [[Landen]] — [[Leuven]] — Zaventem Airport — Brussels-South — Gent-Sint-Pieters (— De Panne), ''only in service on weekends''. ** ICT 6900: Brussels-North — Brussels-South — Gent-Sint-Pieters — De Panne, ''tourist train - only in service during July and August''. ====From France==== The tram's western terminus '''Adinkerke''' is at the eastern extremity of [[Dunkirk]]'s urban bus network, [https://www.dkbus.com/ DK'Bus], which operates completely free-of-charge to all passengers. Dunkirk receives high-speed trains (TGV) from [[Paris]] and [[Lille]], as well as local trains (TER) from [[Calais]]. From the central railway and bus station (''Dunkerque Gare''), take route C1 or C2 to the end of the line (''Leffrinckouke Fort des Dunes''). These operate on a combined 7-minute headway, with a journey time of about 15 min. From Leffrinckouke, route 20 leaves every 30 min throughout the day bound for ''Adinkerque Gare'' (actually De Panne tram and train station), with a journey time of just over 30 min. ===By boat=== Passenger '''ferries''' from the [[United Kingdom]] to Belgium ceased operations in 2021. The only remaining route is a roll on-roll off freight connection from [[Teesport]] to Zeebrugge operated by P&O, which can be used when travelling using a small freight vehicle such as a van. When travelling by camper, double check whether it's allowed on board. For all other vehicles from the UK, consider ferries from [[Harwich (England)|Harwich]] to the [[Hook of Holland]], or from [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]]/[[Newcastle upon Tyne]] to [[Rotterdam]] instead. When on foot, those connect well to the metro (the Hook's harbour is within metres of a metro station). From there, head to ''Rotterdam Centraal'' railway station, take a long-distance train to either Antwerp or Brussels, from where you can get an intercity train to most of the train stations along the coast. Alternatively, you can use the very regular and fast ferry connections from [[Dover (England)|Dover]] to [[Dunkirk]] or [[Calais]] in France instead. The Dunkirk service is only for vehicles, so independent foot passengers should use the Calais route instead, pick up a train from ''Calais-Ville'' to ''Dunkerque'' stations, and then follow the directions in ''From France'' above. If you own a boat yourself and wish to sail to the Belgian coast, '''marinas''' can be found in Zeebrugge, Blankenberge, Ostend and Nieuwpoort. ==Knokke — Blankenberge== {{Mapshape|type=geoline|wikidata=Q1510414|stroke=#ff2d23|stroke-width=2|title=Kusttram (line 0)}} {{Mapframe|51.328|3.209|zoom=12|width=600|name=Map of the easternmost, Knokke to Blankenberge stretch.}} === In Knokke-Heist === {{see also|Knokke-Heist}} Starting just north of Knokke's railway station, the eastern terminus of the Kusttram can be found opposite the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3418 |long=3.2863 |name=Sint-Margarethakerk |image="Onbevlekt Hart van Maria en H.Margareta", parochiekerk van Knokke, Pastoor Opdedrinckplein, Knokke (Knokke-Heist).JPG}}. The church isn't that old, but the shorter tower you're looking at while waiting for the tram to depart is, dating back to 1642. The church sustained heavy damage during the Second World War, and a new church was built between 1955 and 1958, which incorporated the former main tower. Running between houses, the tramway eventually meets up with the ''Elizabetlaan'' near the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3420 |long=3.2682 |name=Duinbergen water tower |image=Watertoren, Arcadelaan, Duinbergen (Knokke-Heist).jpg}} and Park 58, a small nature reserve hardly {{convert|10|ha|sqmi}} large. Shortly after, the halt of ''Duinbergen'' is reached, which stands outside the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3403 |long=3.2607 |name=Heilige Familiekerk |image=Heilige-Familiekerk, Elizabetlaan 300, 8300 Knokke-Heist.jpg}}, another recent church dating from 1939. The modern gothic church features some art deco elements. Duinbergen itself, meanwhile, dates largely from the early 20th century, being shaped after the creative vision of German architect and urban designer Hermann-Josef Stübben. The concession for development of Duinbergen as a whole was given out in 1901, and within seven years, some eighty villas were already constructed. The many villas in Duinbergen give this area a charming view, though tourism introduced a desire for large apartments along the coast, which replaced many of the villas there. Entering into ''Heist'', the tram next stops at the entrance of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3411 |long=3.2520 |name=Directeur-Generaal Willemspark |image=Directeur Willemspark 2021 04.jpg}}. This park formed from a dune ridge, and between both World Wars housed two batteries, constructed by the German Empire, and demolished by the Nazis. Between the wars, these batteries were a museum of sorts, with admission fees funding veterans' welfare. After the war, the dune landscape was reconstructed and the park was created. The paths in the park are named for political prisoners from Heist that didn't see the end of the Second World War, the only exceptions being the ''Keunepitpad'' (rabbit hole path) and ''Bunkerpad'' (bunker path). The park was rejuvenated in 2015, and borders the seashore. In the ''town centre of Heist'', the tramway inches closer towards the coast, with two broad squares providing views across the sea. These are the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3410 |long=3.2402 |name=Heldenplein |image=Standbeeld voor slachtoffers v- Eerste wereldoorlog.jpg}}, featuring a statue commemorating those fallen during the First World War, and the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3406 |long=3.2349 |name=Vissershuldeplein |image=Vissershuldeplein 2021 01.jpg}}, meaning ''Fishermen-homage-square''. It's quite unsurprising that the statue here pays homage to local fishermen. Just east of the Heldenplein you can also find the picturesque {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.34113 |long=3.24246 |name=Visserskapel |image=Visserskapel 2021 00.jpg}}, a small neo-gothic chapel for fishermen, built in 1854. The chapel was taken down in 1868 as the sea came closer and closer to damaging the original chapel. It was reconstructed in 1927 when a smaller chapel with a statue of the Holy Theresia got added as well, which can be found just behind the chapel itself. === In Zeebrugge === [[File:Zeebrugge West-Hinder R03.jpg|thumb|The marina of Zeebrugge, which is littered with maritime items, like these two beacons and the ''West-Hinder II'' in the background.]] [[File:Zeebrugge St George's Day-wandeling R01.jpg|thumb|The Saint-George's Day-Wandeling in Zeebrugge.]] {{see also|Zeebrugge}} Leaving Heist, we first pass the short and stubby {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.33950 |long=3.22738 |name=Low-light of Heist |image=Heist Klein Licht R02.jpg}}, a small lighthouse to the west of Heist which together with the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3376 |long=3.2304 |name=High-light of Heist |image=Heist Vuurtoren R01.jpg}} made an orientation point for ships out at sea. The next halt along the route is ''Zeebrugge Zeesluis'', which serves the eastern side of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3340 |long=3.2172 |name=Pierre Vandamme Lock |image=Zeebrugge Pierre Vandammesluis R02.jpg}}, the largest lock of the Zeebrugge port, measuring in at a length of {{convert|500|m|ft}}, a width of {{convert|57|m|ft}} and a depth of {{convert|18.5|m|ft}}. Should you find the massive bridges linking both banks to be open, fear not, for the tram will make a short detour via the other end of the locks. The first stop in ''Zeebrugge'' proper is ''Zeebrugge Kerk'', named for the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.33174 |long=3.20738 |name=Sint-Donatuskerk |image=Sint-Donatuskerk (Zeebrugge) 25-06-2019 16-34-21.jpg}} beside the halt, named for Donatius of Reims, a 4th-century French bishop and patron saint of [[Bruges]]. The church was completed in 1911, burned down towards the end of the First World War and was rebuilt by 1920. It again sustained major damage during the next World War, and was rebuilt once more in 1951. The hall church is neogothic with a front-facing tower with an eight-sided upper body. The churchyard to the side of the church is not the resting place of any locals, as one would expect, but instead is where the remains of 175 German (three of whom unidentified) and 30 British soldiers (17 of whom unidentified) who lost their lives in the First World War. 44 of the German casualties were due to a tram accident in September 1915; another 40 were crew members of two torpedo boats that were sunk during a sea battle off the coast of Zeebrugge. To the north of Zeebrugge Kerk lies {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.3330 |long=3.2018 |zoom=17 |name=Seafront |url=https://www.seafront.be/ |image=}}, a theme park focussing on fishery and maritime history, which attracts some 50,000 visitors annually. One of the most prominent sights here is the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3344 |long=3.2082 |zoom=17 |name=West-Hinder II |image=Zeebrugge West-Hinder R06.jpg}}, a 1950s boat which warned passing ships of sandbanks, and searched for off-shore plane- and shipwrecks. Some of the vessel's duties have since been taken over by buoys, so it has been lifted out of the water and placed at the head of the marina as a memorial. Seafont also has a small museum. Next, the tram crosses the disused railway 202, a branch line that once served the harbour of Zeebrugge. It then crosses the '''Visartsluis''' either via the (northern) {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3287 |long=3.1979 |name=Visartbrug|image=Zeebrugge Visartbrug R02.jpg}} or the (southern) monumental {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3269 |long=3.1984 |name=Straussbrug |image=Zeebrugge Straussbrug R01.jpg}}, where the tram briefly runs alongside the aforementioned railway 202, which connects to Zeebrugge-Dorp train station shortly after. The station itself can be reached at the next halt, ''Zeebrugge Vaart''. This halt serves the ''Stationswijk'', which, despite being rich in monumental listings, is not the most picturesque of destinations. The next stop has some more sights. '''Zeebrugge Strandwijk''' serves the part of Zeebrugge that borders the beach. Aside from a visit to {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.3311 |long=3.1765 |name=Zeebrugge Beach |image=Zeebrugge Beach R02.jpg}}, there are some buildings here that might be worth seeing, most notably the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3296 |long=3.1826 |name=Palace Hotel |image=Zeebrugge Palace R03.jpg}}, a monumental hotel overlooking the beach. Additionally, you can walk out onto the pier following the ''Saint-George's Day-Wandeling'', which is full of remembrance plaques for the Zeebrugge Raid, a British attack on the port of Zeebrugge on the night of the 23rd and morning of the 24th of April 1918. The harbour was the launching point of German U-boats, and the intended goal of the attack was to blockade the harbour and prevent U-boats from reaching the North Sea. The then-barrier dam which was contested during the battle can still be traced up to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3476 |long=3.2030 |name=Old Mole and lighthouse |image=Zeebrugge Old Mole R01.jpg}}. Leaving Zeebrugge-Standwijk, the tramway continues to follow the '''Kustlaan'''. Between Zeebrugge and Blankenberge, the route squeezes through a nature buffer consisting of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3190 |long=3.1624 |name=Zeebos |image=Blankenberge-Zeebrugge Cycling Trail R02.jpg}} and {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3229 |long=3.1552 |name=De Fonteintjes |image=Zeebrugge Fonteintjes R03.jpg}}. The latter is home to many tender and rare orchids. === In Blankenberge === [[File:The line (2636263071).jpg|thumb|The Blankenberge seafront as seen from the pier.]] {{see also|Blankenberge}} Entering Blankenberge, the first halt is '''Blankenberge Sea Life''', which unsurprisingly is home to the aquarium of the same name, as well as a local pool: * {{see | name=Sea Life Blankenberge | alt= | url=https://www.visitsealife.com/blankenberge/ | email= | address=Koning Albert-I-laan 116, Blankenberge | lat=51.31796 | long=3.14551 | directions= | phone=+31 32 5042 4300 | tollfree= | hours=10:00 - 16:00 | price= | wikidata=Q26490563 | image=Sea Life Blankenberge 6-04-2022 13-42-25.jpg | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content= }} * {{do | name=Farys Noordzeebad | alt= | url=https://www.blankenberge.be/farys-noordzeebad | email= | address=A. van Ackersquare 1, Blankenberge | lat=51.31818 | long=3.14427 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours=M W-Sa 09:00 - 19:00, Tu 10:00 - 19:00; Su 09:00 - 00:00 | price= | wikidata= | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content= }} The next halt, '''Blankenberge Pier''' is named for the 350-m-long (1,150 ft) {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3214 |long=3.1364 |name=Blankenberge Pier |image=Pier Blankenberge R02.jpg}}. It was the first of its kind on the European mainland's Atlantic coast, with the only other one being located in [[Scheveningen]], the Netherlands. The first pier, a cast iron art-nouveau structure, was built in 1894, but was burned down by the German occupiers 20 years later, during the First World War. After the war, the pier was rebuilt after only the skeleton structure survived the fire. In 1933, the new and current pier was opened. On the beach by the pier, you will also find {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.31832 |long=3.13535 |name=De Lustige Velodroom |image=Velodroom Blankenberge - panoramio.jpg}}, a 1933 attraction continued to this day. It consists of a small velodrome, on which you can ride some 70 different special bikes. You're able to either try your best, or look how others aren't any better at controlling the bikes! After Blankenberge Pier, the train station is the next halt. The tram stops on the '''Koning Leopold III-plein''', from where you can head north into the ''Kerkstraat'', where you will find the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.31520 |long=3.12902 |name=Former city hall of Blankenberge |image=Blankenberge Oud Stadhuis 2012.JPG}}. This small and quaint 1680 town hall is just one of many delightful historical buildings in Blankenberge's city centre. Following the Kerkstraat towards the sea, you'll run into other staples of Blankenberge, such as the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.31625 |long=3.12968 |name=Casino Blankenburge |image=Casino Blankenberge.jpg}}, the sea-facing façade of which is covered in upscaled baby statues.

This stop, as well as the next one, serves the marina. From this halt, you can go on foot towards the seafront where you will find the art-deco {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.31258 |long=3.11443 |zoom=18 |name=Lighthouse of Blankenberge |image=Blankenberge Lighthouse R05.jpg}}, built in 1956. On the way there, you will most likely make your way along the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.31335 |long=3.12139 |zoom=18 |name=Paravang |image=Blankenberge Paravent R02.jpg}}, a neo-gothic wind screen dating from 1908. It lies between the marina and the ''Leopoldpark''. The last halt within Blankenberge is '''Blankenberge Maritieme Zone''', which mostly serves residential buildings to the south, as well as part of the marina. ==Blankenberge — Bredene== {{Mapframe|51.268|3.024|zoom=12|width=600|name=Map of the section between Blankenberge and the Bruges-Ostend Canal.}} {{Panorama|image=Blankenberge Panorama R01.jpg|width=800px|caption=View towards Blankenberge from one of the panorama viewpoints in Harendijke.}} === Around Wenduine === Leaving Blankenberge, we find ourselves in Harendijke, which contains more vacation homes than it does normal houses. Serving these is the halt ''Wenduine Harendijke'', which also serves two panorama viewpoints. Wenduine itself is quite sparse in sights, even though the area has been inhabited continuously since the 8th century. Its function as a sea-side resort it has had since 1886. Construction of villas started two years later, and a hotel followed in 1895. From 1902 to 1924, the town was being urbanised, which saw the addition of a traffic boulevard to the north, which the tram follows today. In Wenduine, you can get off the tram at '''Wenduine Manitoba''', '''Wenduine Centrum''' for the city centre and the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2999 |long=3.0758 |name=Spioenkop |image=Spioenkop, Wenduine - panoramio.jpg}}, Belgium's second-highest coastal dune, and at '''Wenduine Molen''' for the small {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.29687 |long=3.07663 |name=Hubertmolen |image=Wenduine - Hubertmolen 1.jpg}}, dating back to 1880. Making our way out of Wenduine, you might be able to see the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.29404 |long=3.07080 |zoom=18 |name=Water tower of Wenduine |image=De Haan Drift Watertoren.JPG}} between the trees. The route of the tram at this point is surrounded on both sides by the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.2862 |long=3.0548 |name=Duinbossen |url=https://www.natuurenbos.be/duinbossen-de-haan |image=De Haan duinen R02.jpg}}, Duinbos Wenduine and Vlissegem to be precise, which lend itself particularly well to hiking and other sports. For this, you can leave the tram at the halts of '''Wenduine Konijnenpad''', '''De Haan Zwarte Kiezel''' and '''De Haan Waterkasteellaan'''. === In De Haan === [[File:Historischer Straßenbahnbahnhof in De Haan (Belgien).jpg|thumb|The 1902 tram station of De Haan, with on the track-facing façade its Dutch name (''De Haan aan Zee''), and on the chimney its French name (''Coq sur Mer''). In the foreground a forbidden-access sign in front.]] {{see also|De Haan}} Simply by passing through De Haan, you get to see one of its most notable buildings. The {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.27265 |long=3.03290 |name=Main tram station of De Haan |image=De Haan Tram Station R01.jpg}} might no longer be in use by the tramways themselves, the tram does stop outside of the former station building at '''De Haan Aan Zee'''. The station building, dating from 1902, is a staple of De Haan by virtue of being a good representative of the many picturesque villas in De Haan. Around the tram station, which now serves as a tourist information point, you will find several historical tramway-related objects, such as bilingual signs between the tracks, stating "''Verboden op den spoorweg te gaan''" / "''Défense de circuler sur la voie''" (English: ''Forbidden to walk onto the tracks''). The town itself lays claim to multiple hundred monuments, many of which villas, shops and hotels that too are built in picturesque style, an art deco style with timber framing elements and other 'rural' influences. You will see plenty of these when walking northwest towards the beach, as whichever route you take, it will lead you past many imposing and undoubtedly expensive villas and villa apartments. === Vosseslag and Bredene === [[File:Bredene strand - panoramio.jpg|thumb|Bredene beach with ''Battery E690'' in the top-right.]] After De Haan's main tram station, '''De Haan Preventoruium''' follows, where, in the dunes leading towards the beach, you can bump into several disused military bunkers. Next is '''De Haan Vosseslag''', which is the access point to the {{Marker|type=do |lat=51.2648 |long=3.0085 |name=Kijkuit |image=}}, the third and final of the ''Duinbossen'' around De Haan en Wenduine. Also at this halt, you will find the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.2648 |long=3.0032 |name=Royal Ostend Golf Club |image=}}, one of Belgium's oldest golf courses and the only actual links course on the Belgian coast. It was directly financed by Leopold II in 1888, as to lure more British tourists to De Haan. Walking towards the beach here, you will cross the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.26551 |long=3.00156 |name=Lighthouse annex Panoramic tower |image=}}. The '''Bredene Renbaan''', as its name implies, was once home to a hippodrome (Dutch: ''Renbaan''). What remains now, is a delightful {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.25569 |long=2.98290 |name=Art Deco shelter |image=Bredene KoninklijkeBaan z.nr. ID54428 - 159221 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}. Taking a walk towards the beach here, will lead you through several hundred metres of dunes. Turning right on the beach leads you to a dedicated [[Nudism|nude beach]]. If nudity is something you shy away from, then you might want to avert your eyes at '''Bredene aan Zee''', for the halt has a prime view of a statue named {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.24820 |long=2.96205|name=De Uitdaging |image=Kunst Duinenplein Bredene (7419698148).jpg}} (''The Temptation''), nicknamed "''Blote Betsy''" (Naked Betsy). Before that halt though, lies '''Bredene Campings''', which mostly serves the campsites in Bredene, as one may guess from the name. It also has the shortest walking distance to the beach though, so if you'd like to shave several metres off of your journey by foot, disembark by the campsites. Just west of the path from '''Bredene aan Zee''' to the beach, lies {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.24893 |long=2.95881 |name=Battery E690 |image=Bredene Koninklijke Baan zonder nummer - 159220 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}, which thankfully has been disarmed of its {{convert|28|cm|inch}} diameter guns, among other firepower the likes of FlaK anti-air guns. This bunker is one of the more prominent war remnants around De Haan, and overlooks the beach, reminding of its original purpose of defending against hostile (Allied) beach landings. Now approaching Ostend, the halt '''Oostende Duin & Zee''' gives access to {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2390 |long=2.9344 |name=Fort Napoleon |url=https://www.fort-napoleon.be/en |image=Fort Napoleon R02.jpg}} and the dozen of smaller batteries littered throughout the dunes. The polygonal fort built in 1811 during the War of the Fifth Coalition. It was subsequently abandoned when by 1814 a British attack had not come, and [[Napoleon]] was on the way out. During the First World War, the German Empire reused the fort, and equipped it with heavy armoured gun batteries. During the Second World War, the fort functioned as a Nazi German artillery headquarters. It became a museum after the way, fell into disuse again, and after five years of restoration, was reopened to the public in 2000. Seeing its many users over time, the fort contains interesting remnants of Napoleonic-era France, the German Empire and to a lesser extent, Nazi Germany. Most notable are the multiple Imperial German murals. Also around this halt, you will find {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.23634 |long=2.93050 |name="''Tall Nelly''" |image=Lange Nelle R07.jpg}} ([[Dutch]]: ''Lange Nelle''), nickname of Ostend's slender white-blue lighthouse. Before entering the heart of Ostend, a single halt remains: '''Oostende Weg Naar Vismijn''', which lies at the mouth of the {{Marker| type=do | lat=51.2278 | long=2.9528 |name= Ostend spuikom |image=Oostende Spuikom R01.jpg}}, a water basin in harbours, intended to fill up at high tide to empty again at low tide as to counteract the low tide itself, with the added benefit of washing out sediments in the harbour entrance. The {{convert|80|ha|sqmi}}-large spuikom was constructed in the 20th century, in order to replace four smaller ones already in use. When first tested in 1912, the flow of the new spuikom proved to be so violent that it would quickly eat away at the quays downstream. The infrastructure that made the basin function was destroyed at the end of the First World War, and in 1926 the decision was made to not rebuild this infrastructure. For several decades now, the body of water has been used for water sport. == Ostend == {{Mapframe|51.2311|2.9166|zoom=14|name=The tramline through Ostend.}} [[File:Bredene - Handzame Classic, 18 maart 2016, vertrek (C19).JPG|thumb|Crossing the Demeysluis.]] {{see also|Oostende}} As we cross the canal into Ostend, the first landmark we encounter is the building of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22461 |long=2.94067 |name=Royal Yacht Club d'Ostende (RYCO) |image=Oostende Dokert Edouard Moreauxlaan 2 - 26410 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}. The current clubhouse was inaugurated in 1906, while the harbour was undergoing major reorganisation efforts. The tram continues though the middle of the harbour, with industrial buildings left and right, and occasionally a hidden bunker. When crossing the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2253 |long=2.9313 |name=Demeysluis |image=}}, the tracks again go across either end of the lock, as to be able to continue service regardless of traffic entering or leaving the lock. Regardless of which bridge the tram uses, you will have crossed a nice rotary bridge regardless. Immediately after which, you find yourself on top of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2257 |long=2.9299 |name=De Smet de Naeyer bridges |image=Tettenbrug oostende,.jpg}}, locally dubbed the ''Tettenbrug'', Flemish for ''Bridge of faces'', thanks to the many busts and statues used to decorate the 1903-1905 set of bridges. Until 2002, the bridges were still used for traffic accessing Ostend, but as this traffic proved too much of a strain on the city centre, the tram is the only traffic using the bridge aside from traffic with a local destination. After a good look across the railway tracks leading into '''Ostend station''', we arrive at the halt of the same name, where there is an easy transfer onto the [[#By train|train network]]. Continuing into Ostend's city centre, we first cross paths with {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22652 |long=2.92269 |name=De Mast |image=Oostende - De Mast 1.jpg}}, the second-tallest building in [[West-Flanders]], measuring in at {{convert|87|m|ft}}. The number one spot is taken by the Europacentrum, also in Ostend. The marina on the right, meanwhile, is home to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22698 |long=2.92014 |name=Museum ship Mercator |image=Schoolschip Mercator 56814.jpg}}. It is a possible contender for Belgium's most famous ship, pulling in several thousand visitors each year. The Mercator, built in 1933, is the last Belgian Training ship, being decommissioned in 1960. It was preceded in that task by four other boats, two of which met their end at sea. Two of the five ships (one of which sank within two years of being built) were named after Paul de Smet de Naeyer, the same De Smet de Naeyer that the bridges across the railway were named for. His name was in his day highly celebrated in Ostend due to major investments into maritime endeavours during his time as minister of Finance and Public Works in the early 20th century. After the intersection with the Vindictivelaan, the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22743 |long=2.91686 |name=Ostend Courthouse |image=Het gerechtshof - 375710 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}} stands to the left, followed by the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22858 |long=2.91395 |name=Leopoldpark |image=Le parc et son étang (Léopoldpark-Ostend) (4619075828).jpg}}, which lies surrounded by streets named for Belgian [[Royal families|royalty]]. The park itself contains many beautiful features and novelty items like a floral clock. Opposite the park, and also somewhat clashing against it, is the rather brutalist {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22992 |long=2.91589 |name=Former Post Office of Ostend |image=Mathilde et le bureau des postes (4905004702).jpg}}, now in use as a cultural centre. Rather more quaint of a building can be found a block deeper into the city: The {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.23063 |long=2.91717 |name=Spaans Huisje |image=Spaans.huisje.jpg}} (''Little Spanish House'') is the oldest surviving building of Ostend, dating from 1741 - before Belgium existed, but ironically also after modern-day Belgium stopped being a part of the [[Spanish Empire]], it being Austrian turf at that time. Based out of the house is a city tour guide organisation. From the next halt, '''Oostende Marie-Joséplein''', it's a small walk to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2319 |long=2.9119 |name=Casino-Kursaal |image=Oostende Casino R02.jpg}}, a Kursaal<!--Is there an English term for Kursaal or Kurhaus?--> of about a {{convert|1|ha|sqft}}, making it the largest [[Gambling|casino]] of Europe. The current Kursaal is the third in Ostend, the first being relocated and replaced for one on the seafront, the second being torn down during the Second World War for coastal defences, and the third starting construction directly following the liberation of Belgium. Aside from a casino, it also several halls for conferences and performances, as well as a restaurant. From the Kursaal, the tram continues past some imposing buildings the likes of the 1898 eclectic corner house {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22974 |long=2.91260 |name=La Paloma |image=Palomafront.JPG}} and the Belle Époque {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22918 |long=2.90845 |name=Villa Maritza |image=Oostend Villa Maritza on Albert-1 Promenade A.jpg}}, built in 1885 and with ornate golden highlights in its façade. The lavish luxury (and price) of which makes it no surprise that the operative of the casino once called this his home. [[File:Königliche Galerien am Sandstrand der Albert I. Promenade in Ostende (Oostende Belgien) 2020-09.jpg|thumb|Ostend Beach with to the right the Royal Galleries.]] '''Oostende Koninginnelaan''' is the original beach promenade of Ostend. The tram stops next to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22709 |long=2.90624 |name=Japanese Garden |image=Japanse Tuin Oostende 2007.jpg}}, a part of the '''Royal Villa''' that stands behind it. Passing through the '''Drie Gapers''', the gate shielding from some of the wind coming from sea, you walk right by the contested {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22721 |long=2.90457 |name=Statue of Leopold |image=Reiterdenkmal Leopold II. von Belgien in Ostende (Oostende Belgien), 09-2020-1.jpg}}. The cruelties in the [[Congo Freestate]] during Leopold II's reign make the statue as contested as it is. Due to repeated graffiti vandalism, the statue has no original patina left, and at one point the hand of one of the "Thankful Congolese" in the far left of the scene has been hacked off, to serve as a reminder of Leopold II's actions. The anarchist group responsible has stated that the hand shall return once the Royal Family of Belgium apologises for the inhumanities committed by Leopold, which as of 2022 has not yet happened. From the gate, two ''Gaanderijen'', long galleries along the beach. To the right are the Royal Galleries, to the left the Venetian Galleries, the latter of which is connected to the luxurious {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22585 |long=2.90239 |name=Thermae Palace Hotel |image=56980 Thermae Palace.jpg}}. Inside the galleries are art installations and small museums. At the end of the Venetian Galleries, the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.22318 |long=2.90070 |zoom=18 |name=Wellington Hippodrome |image=Renbaan(07).jpg}}, which has nine running days throughout July and August. For the rest of the year, a '''Golf course''' is also accessible from the halt '''Oostende Renbaan'''. After '''Oostende Northlaan''', the tram continues into Mariakerke, which isn't quite noteworthy in comparison to Ostend. Between its two halts, Mariakerke Bad and Oostende Ravelingen, you will find {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2151 |long=2.8762 |name=Pleasure Island |url=https://www.pleasure-island.org/index |image=}}, a small art expo along the beach. The last building of Mariakerke will be the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2114 |long=2.8719 |name=Duinenkerkje |image=Duinenkerkje02.jpg}}, Mariakerke's old church and the only remaining bit of the old Mariakerke, that had to make way for the Nazi German Atlantikwall. It's directly after the church that two dug-in batteries of the Atlantikwall hide in the undergrowth on the land-side. ==Raversijde — Nieuwpoort-Stad== {{Mapframe|51.177|2.831|zoom=12|width=600|height=500|name=Map of the section between Oostende and Nieuwpoort-Stad.}} ===Middelkerke-Bad=== ===Westende and Lombardsijde=== ===Nieuwpoort=== ==Nieuwpoort-Bad — De Panne== {{Mapframe|51.108|2.674|zoom=12|width=600|name=Map of westernmost, Nieuwpoort to Adinkerke (De Panne) stretch.}} ===Groenedijk=== ===Oostduijnkerke-Bad=== ===Koksijde=== ===Sint-Idesbald=== ===De Panne=== ===Adinkerke=== ==Stay safe== {{See also|Belgium#Stay safe}} In Belgium, trams have priority over every other road user, including cyclists and pedestrians. Even when using a zebra crossing, you have to give way to an oncoming tram. The tracks are surrounded by dunes in many places, meaning that visibility along the track might be reduced - trams can run bidirectionally, and are relatively quiet, so look out when you're near to the tracks. Be predictable for tram drivers and other road users, and keep an eye out for others that might be putting themselves or others in danger. Especially during the holiday season, the halts and boulevards can get crowded, in which case an accident can happen quickly. If you need to contact the '''line operator''' (De Lijn), you can do so via their [https://help.delijn.be/hc/en-us/requests/new online contact form], via [https://www.facebook.com/delijn Facebook] or [https://twitter.com/delijn Twitter] (@delijn), or by dialing {{phone|+32 070 220 200}} ({{EUR|0.30}} per minute).

The 67-km-long route (42-mi) sees some 16.5 million passengers per year travel on the line. ===History=== The modern-day tramline was formed from several lines of the Belgian Local Tramways (Dutch: ''Nationale Maatschappij van Buurtspoorwegen'' or ''NMVB'' for short), with the first construction of lines taking place around 1885, connecting [[Ostend]] and [[Nieuwpoort|Nieuwpoort-Dorp]]. The NMBS operated many other lines branching off of what is now the Kusttram, most of which have since disappeared. The line was, and to this day largely is single-tracked, with trams running left-handed like Belgian trains do to this day. Electrification on parts of the lines started in 1909. That winter, services were continued year-round, whereas services used to be suspended during the winter. During the [[First World War]], the tramline was severed by the front around Nieuwpoort. The line was put to use for goods transport towards the trenches on either side of the frontline. During 1919, the normal passenger services were reinstated. The modern-day route of the tramline formed in the late 1920s, as connections to De Panne were made and electrified. The line since runs almost parallel to the coast, only dipping inland to connect to Nieuwpoort. Plans to bypass Nieuwpoort were made, but never materialised. The [[Second World War]] saw the Belgian coast become a part of the [[Atlantikwall]], which put in place many limitations to passenger transport. Citizens along the coast needed special permission to be allowed to travel inland. In 1940, before Nazi German occupation, the line was already set to be dismantled, though the outbreak of the war stopped any plans from materialising. During Nazi German occupation, electrification was removed between Ostend and Middelkerke, followed by a later ban on all services along the coast. After liberation in September 1944, the coastal route was quickly rebuilt and put back into service by the middle of December. Despite arguments being made to demolish the line to be replaced by buses, the NMVB politely declined, but did close some of the branch lines as time progressed. From 1956 onward, the line operated in two sections, line 1 (Knokke - Ostend) and line 2 (De Panne - Ostend). Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, a clear movement for demolition of the tramway existed, though the NMVB never gave in to these, arguing that during summer, some 900 people needed transportation with the service every half hour in Ostend alone. Alternatives were proposed in the form of an underground railway or elevated railway line. Both were deemed far too expensive and never materialised. In 1991, the line came under operation by De Lijn (Dutch for ''The Line''), which operates most public transit excluding trains in most of [[Flanders]]. New tracks and new rolling stock made the trams faster and more frequent, leading to services with a tram up to every 7½ minutes on some parts of the route. Since the summer of 2001, demand became so high that a 10-minute service along the entire route was put in place. The last extension to the tramline happened in 1998, when the train station in Adinkerke (named ''De Panne'') was connected to the network. ===Pricing=== {| class=wikitable mw-collapsible align=right |+Day-pass pricing !Type !!Children (age 5 or younger) !!Children (ages 6 - 11) !!

Officially named ''LRV'' or ''Light Rail Véhicule'', these trams are more often nicknamed '''BN's''' after the company that produced it, ''La Brugeoise et Nivelles''. The coastal versions (Series 6000) are single-directional vehicles, whereas the Charleroi versions (Series 6100) are bidirectional. Additionally, the coastal stock can run 10 kph faster, having a top speed of {{convert|75|kph|mph}}. The Charleroi stock did start out running along the coast, as coast-bound stock was not yet completed in 1980. Since 1982 though, the Series 6000 operates along the coast, replacing the previous long trams with three pulled trailers, leading to a higher frequency of operation. The Series 6000 started out as {{convert|21|m|ft}} long trams, but since modernisation into a second generation, they come in at a length of {{convert|31.2|m|ft}}. The second generation also saw the top speed raised to {{convert|85|kph|mph}}. Due to several accidents and collisions over time, 44 trams of the Series 6000 remain in 2020. The second generation of Series 6000 can transport some 310 passengers, 73 of which are seated, 237 of which are standing. The middle of its three wagons has a lower floor for wheelchair access. ====Bombardier-Siemens HermeLijn==== The '''HermeLijn''' stock consist of trams taken in from the [[Ghent]] tramways, with two units being in operation on the coastal tramline during summers as to support a higher frequency of operation. Its name is a play on the Dutch name of a stoat, as its livery faintly reminds of the mammal. The L is capitalised to emphasise the name of the operator: ''De Lijn''. The HermeLijn can transport up to 192 people, 58 of which can be seated. The trams, produced between 1999 and 2012, can reach top speeds of up to {{convert|70|kph|mph}} and have a low floor, allowing for wheelchair access. ====CAF Urbos 100 / Zeelijner==== The '''Urbos 100''', nicknamed the ''Zeelijner'' (''Sea liner'') is being put into service to replace the Series 6000. The 48 to 146 units are being put into service since April 2021. They have a capacity of 187, 54 of which are seated, and another 20 are fold-down seats. ====Historical stock==== [[File:Tramparade 1 type S en zomerrijtuigen.jpg|thumb|One of the many trams preserved by TTO, pulling two open summer carriages during a parade in celebration of 125 years of tramways along the coast, pictured near Middelkerke.]] The '''TTO Noordzee''' has ten historical motor coaches that have once operated along the coast or elsewhere in Europe. TTO is based in the tram depot in De Panne, from where they operate "historical services" between De Panne Loskaai and Adinkerke Station. The journey takes some 40 minutes, and departs every Saturday, Sunday and bank holiday of July and August at 13:30, 14:30, 15:30 and 16:30, if a tram operator is available. The journey costs {{EUR|4}}, and children up to the age of six travel for free. Other special running days for historical running stock are on "Open Monumentendag" (second Sunday of September), and a Christmas service from the 26th to the 30th of December. The depot in De Panne can always be visited free. TTO's stock can also be [https://promottonoordzee.wixsite.com/mysite/contacteer-ons rented] for special occasions. ==Prepare== The trip goes through built-up areas with shops, restaurants and other services so you don't need to make any big preparations. Just make sure you have a valid ticket and dress according to the weather (perhaps bring an umbrella). A towel and swimwear can be good to bring if you want to go to the beaches. When travelling with a bike, the tram driver may deny you access if there are already too many bikes on the tram or the tram is too crowded. You must buy a bicycle pass ({{EUR|2}} for 60 min) in addition to your personal ticket to bring a bike onto a tram. If you are travelling with dogs, you may take them on the tram for free, provided that you can keep them leashed or on your lap. It's recommended to travel lightly packed, though if you have no other way, stow your luggage away somewhere where it doesn't block a seat, for example on your lap, between your legs or somewhere else where it will not hinder other travellers. It is also not allowed to eat while travelling on the tram, as to keep the vehicles clean. ===Accessibility=== While the trams are either partially or entirely low-floored, allowing for wheelchair access, not all platforms are at that same height. As of 2019, the wheelchair-<u>in</u>accessible halts are: Knokke Station; Duinbergen Watertoren; Zeebrugge Vaart and Strandwijk; Oostende Marie-Joséplein; Middelkere Casino; Oostduinkerke Bad; Koksijde Bad; De Panne Golfstraat, Centrum, Kerk and Moeder Lambic. Mobility scooters are ''not'' allowed on board a tram. ==Get in== ===By plane=== [[Ostend]] has an airport, Ostend-Bruges International Airport {{IATA|OST}}, but it mostly sees goods traffic. A much more sensible option would be to fly to [[Brussels#By plane|Brussels Zaventem-Airport]] and taking a car or train from there. ===By train=== [[File:De Panne Station 01.JPG|thumb|Arguably the easiest train-tram transfer can be made in Knokke, with trams stopping within a stone's throw of the trains.]] <!--I omitted naming peak hour (P) and L-services unless that is the only service stopping at the station--> Below is an overview of ''all'' connections to the Belgian rail network.

Blankenburge can be reached using one intercity (IC) and three tourist trains (ICT): ** IC 03: [[Genk]] — [[Leuven]] — Brussels-South — Gent-Sint-Pieters — Brugge — Blankenberge ** ICT 6700: [[Charleroi|Charleroi-South]] — [[Mons]] — [[Tournai]] — [[Mouscron]] — Brugge — Blankenberge ** ICT 6705: [[Antwerp|Antwerpen Centraal]] — Gent-Sint-Pieters — Brugge — Blankenberge ** ICT 6710: ([[Neerpelt]]/[[Turnhout]] —) [[Herentals]] — [[Mechelen]] — Gent-Sint-Pieters — Brugge — Blankenberge * {{Marker|type=go|lat=51.2282 |long=2.9261 |name={{Station|<u>Oostende</u> (Ostend)|city=be|rail}} |image=Station Oostende Hal.jpg}}: The Kusttram has its halts integrated into the station, which can be reached by the most intercity services, these being: ** IC 01: [[Eupen]] — [[Liège|Liège-Guillemins]] — [[Brussels|Brussels-South]] — [[Bruges|Brugge]] — Ostend ** IC 02: [[Antwerp|Antwerpen Centraal]] — [[Ghent|Gent-Sint-Pieters]] — Ostend ** IC 12: [[Welkenraedt]] — Liège-Guillemins — Brussels-South — Gent-Sint-Pieters — [[Kortrijk]] (— Brugge — Ostend), ''only in service on weekdays''. ** IC 23: [[Brussels Airport|Zaventem Airport]] — Brussels-South — Kortrijk — Brugge — Ostend ** IC 32: Kortrijk — [[Lichtervelde]] — Brugge — Ostend ** ICT 6800: [[Tongeren]] — [[Hasselt]] — Brussels-South — Gent-Sint-Pieters — Brugge — Ostend, ''tourist train - only in service during July and August''. * {{Marker|type=go|lat=51.0773 |long=2.6021 |name={{Station|<u>De Panne</u> (Adinkerke)|city=be|rail}} |image=Station De Panne 3.jpg}} is the western-most end of the Kusttram, which stops alongside the trains. The line here might be continued to [[Dunkirk]] (France) in the future, though until that date, the following services call this the end of the line: ** IC 28: Antwerpen Centraal — Gent-Sint-Pieters — Lichtervelde — De Panne, ''only in service on weekdays''. ** IC 29: [[Landen]] — [[Leuven]] — Zaventem Airport — Brussels-South — Gent-Sint-Pieters (— De Panne), ''only in service on weekends''. ** ICT 6900: Brussels-North — Brussels-South — Gent-Sint-Pieters — De Panne, ''tourist train - only in service during July and August''. ====From France==== The tram's western terminus '''Adinkerke''' is at the eastern extremity of [[Dunkirk]]'s urban bus network, [https://www.dkbus.com/ DK'Bus], which operates completely free-of-charge to all passengers. Dunkirk receives high-speed trains (TGV) from [[Paris]] and [[Lille]], as well as local trains (TER) from [[Calais]]. From the central railway and bus station (''Dunkerque Gare''), take route C1 or C2 to the end of the line (''Leffrinckouke Fort des Dunes''). These operate on a combined 7-minute headway, with a journey time of about 15 min. From Leffrinckouke, route 20 leaves every 30 min throughout the day bound for ''Adinkerque Gare'' (actually De Panne tram and train station), with a journey time of just over 30 min. ===By boat=== Passenger '''ferries''' from the [[United Kingdom]] to Belgium ceased operations in 2021. The only remaining route is a roll on-roll off freight connection from [[Teesport]] to Zeebrugge operated by P&O, which can be used when travelling using a small freight vehicle such as a van. When travelling by camper, double check whether it's allowed on board. For all other vehicles from the UK, consider ferries from [[Harwich (England)|Harwich]] to the [[Hook of Holland]], or from [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]]/[[Newcastle upon Tyne]] to [[Rotterdam]] instead. When on foot, those connect well to the metro (the Hook's harbour is within metres of a metro station). From there, head to ''Rotterdam Centraal'' railway station, take a long-distance train to either Antwerp or Brussels, from where you can get an intercity train to most of the train stations along the coast. Alternatively, you can use the very regular and fast ferry connections from [[Dover (England)|Dover]] to [[Dunkirk]] or [[Calais]] in France instead. The Dunkirk service is only for vehicles, so independent foot passengers should use the Calais route instead, pick up a train from ''Calais-Ville'' to ''Dunkerque'' stations, and then follow the directions in ''From France'' above. If you own a boat yourself and wish to sail to the Belgian coast, '''marinas''' can be found in Zeebrugge, Blankenberge, Ostend and Nieuwpoort. ==Knokke — Blankenberge== {{Mapshape|type=geoline|wikidata=Q1510414|stroke=#ff2d23|stroke-width=2|title=Kusttram (line 0)}} {{Mapframe|51.328|3.209|zoom=12|width=600|name=Map of the easternmost, Knokke to Blankenberge stretch.}} === In Knokke-Heist === {{see also|Knokke-Heist}} Starting just north of Knokke's railway station, the eastern terminus of the Kusttram can be found opposite the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3418 |long=3.2863 |name=Sint-Margarethakerk |image="Onbevlekt Hart van Maria en H.Margareta", parochiekerk van Knokke, Pastoor Opdedrinckplein, Knokke (Knokke-Heist).JPG}}. The church isn't that old, but the shorter tower you're looking at while waiting for the tram to depart is, dating back to 1642. The church sustained heavy damage during the Second World War, and a new church was built between 1955 and 1958, which incorporated the former main tower. Running between houses, the tramway eventually meets up with the ''Elizabetlaan'' near the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3420 |long=3.2682 |name=Duinbergen water tower |image=Watertoren, Arcadelaan, Duinbergen (Knokke-Heist).jpg}} and Park 58, a small nature reserve hardly {{convert|10|ha|sqmi}} large. Shortly after, the halt of ''Duinbergen'' is reached, which stands outside the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3403 |long=3.2607 |name=Heilige Familiekerk |image=Heilige-Familiekerk, Elizabetlaan 300, 8300 Knokke-Heist.jpg}}, another recent church dating from 1939. The modern gothic church features some art deco elements. Duinbergen itself, meanwhile, dates largely from the early 20th century, being shaped after the creative vision of German architect and urban designer Hermann-Josef Stübben. The concession for development of Duinbergen as a whole was given out in 1901, and within seven years, some eighty villas were already constructed. The many villas in Duinbergen give this area a charming view, though tourism introduced a desire for large apartments along the coast, which replaced many of the villas there. Entering into ''Heist'', the tram next stops at the entrance of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3411 |long=3.2520 |name=Directeur-Generaal Willemspark |image=Directeur Willemspark 2021 04.jpg}}. This park formed from a dune ridge, and between both World Wars housed two batteries, constructed by the German Empire, and demolished by the Nazis. Between the wars, these batteries were a museum of sorts, with admission fees funding veterans' welfare. After the war, the dune landscape was reconstructed and the park was created. The paths in the park are named for political prisoners from Heist that didn't see the end of the Second World War, the only exceptions being the ''Keunepitpad'' (rabbit hole path) and ''Bunkerpad'' (bunker path). The park was rejuvenated in 2015, and borders the seashore. In the ''town centre of Heist'', the tramway inches closer towards the coast, with two broad squares providing views across the sea. These are the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3410 |long=3.2402 |name=Heldenplein |image=Standbeeld voor slachtoffers v- Eerste wereldoorlog.jpg}}, featuring a statue commemorating those fallen during the First World War, and the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3406 |long=3.2349 |name=Vissershuldeplein |image=Vissershuldeplein 2021 01.jpg}}, meaning ''Fishermen-homage-square''. It's quite unsurprising that the statue here pays homage to local fishermen. Just east of the Heldenplein you can also find the picturesque {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.34113 |long=3.24246 |name=Visserskapel |image=Visserskapel 2021 00.jpg}}, a small neo-gothic chapel for fishermen, built in 1854. The chapel was taken down in 1868 as the sea came closer and closer to damaging the original chapel. It was reconstructed in 1927 when a smaller chapel with a statue of the Holy Theresia got added as well, which can be found just behind the chapel itself. === In Zeebrugge === [[File:Zeebrugge West-Hinder R03.jpg|thumb|The marina of Zeebrugge, which is littered with maritime items, like these two beacons and the ''West-Hinder II'' in the background.]] [[File:Zeebrugge St George's Day-wandeling R01.jpg|thumb|The Saint-George's Day-Wandeling in Zeebrugge.]] {{see also|Zeebrugge}} Leaving Heist, we first pass the short and stubby {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.33950 |long=3.22738 |name=Low-light of Heist |image=Heist Klein Licht R02.jpg}}, a small lighthouse to the west of Heist which together with the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3376 |long=3.2304 |name=High-light of Heist |image=Heist Vuurtoren R01.jpg}} made an orientation point for ships out at sea. The next halt along the route is ''Zeebrugge Zeesluis'', which serves the eastern side of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3340 |long=3.2172 |name=Pierre Vandamme Lock |image=Zeebrugge Pierre Vandammesluis R02.jpg}}, the largest lock of the Zeebrugge port, measuring in at a length of {{convert|500|m|ft}}, a width of {{convert|57|m|ft}} and a depth of {{convert|18.5|m|ft}}. Should you find the massive bridges linking both banks to be open, fear not, for the tram will make a short detour via the other end of the locks. The first stop in ''Zeebrugge'' proper is ''Zeebrugge Kerk'', named for the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.33174 |long=3.20738 |name=Sint-Donatuskerk |image=Sint-Donatuskerk (Zeebrugge) 25-06-2019 16-34-21.jpg}} beside the halt, named for Donatius of Reims, a 4th-century French bishop and patron saint of [[Bruges]]. The church was completed in 1911, burned down towards the end of the First World War and was rebuilt by 1920. It again sustained major damage during the next World War, and was rebuilt once more in 1951. The hall church is neogothic with a front-facing tower with an eight-sided upper body. The churchyard to the side of the church is not the resting place of any locals, as one would expect, but instead is where the remains of 175 German (three of whom unidentified) and 30 British soldiers (17 of whom unidentified) who lost their lives in the First World War. 44 of the German casualties were due to a tram accident in September 1915; another 40 were crew members of two torpedo boats that were sunk during a sea battle off the coast of Zeebrugge. To the north of Zeebrugge Kerk lies {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.3330 |long=3.2018 |zoom=17 |name=Seafront |url=https://www.seafront.be/ |image=}}, a theme park focussing on fishery and maritime history, which attracts some 50,000 visitors annually. One of the most prominent sights here is the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3344 |long=3.2082 |zoom=17 |name=West-Hinder II |image=Zeebrugge West-Hinder R06.jpg}}, a 1950s boat which warned passing ships of sandbanks, and searched for off-shore plane- and shipwrecks. Some of the vessel's duties have since been taken over by buoys, so it has been lifted out of the water and placed at the head of the marina as a memorial. Seafont also has a small museum. Next, the tram crosses the disused railway 202, a branch line that once served the harbour of Zeebrugge. It then crosses the '''Visartsluis''' either via the (northern) {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3287 |long=3.1979 |name=Visartbrug|image=Zeebrugge Visartbrug R02.jpg}} or the (southern) monumental {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3269 |long=3.1984 |name=Straussbrug |image=Zeebrugge Straussbrug R01.jpg}}, where the tram briefly runs alongside the aforementioned railway 202, which connects to Zeebrugge-Dorp train station shortly after. The station itself can be reached at the next halt, ''Zeebrugge Vaart''. This halt serves the ''Stationswijk'', which, despite being rich in monumental listings, is not the most picturesque of destinations. The next stop has some more sights. '''Zeebrugge Strandwijk''' serves the part of Zeebrugge that borders the beach. Aside from a visit to {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.3311 |long=3.1765 |name=Zeebrugge Beach |image=Zeebrugge Beach R02.jpg}}, there are some buildings here that might be worth seeing, most notably the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3296 |long=3.1826 |name=Palace Hotel |image=Zeebrugge Palace R03.jpg}}, a monumental hotel overlooking the beach. Additionally, you can walk out onto the pier following the ''Saint-George's Day-Wandeling'', which is full of remembrance plaques for the Zeebrugge Raid, a British attack on the port of Zeebrugge on the night of the 23rd and morning of the 24th of April 1918. The harbour was the launching point of German U-boats, and the intended goal of the attack was to blockade the harbour and prevent U-boats from reaching the North Sea. The then-barrier dam which was contested during the battle can still be traced up to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3476 |long=3.2030 |name=Old Mole and lighthouse |image=Zeebrugge Old Mole R01.jpg}}. Leaving Zeebrugge-Standwijk, the tramway continues to follow the '''Kustlaan'''. Between Zeebrugge and Blankenberge, the route squeezes through a nature buffer consisting of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3190 |long=3.1624 |name=Zeebos |image=Blankenberge-Zeebrugge Cycling Trail R02.jpg}} and {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3229 |long=3.1552 |name=De Fonteintjes |image=Zeebrugge Fonteintjes R03.jpg}}. The latter is home to many tender and rare orchids. === In Blankenberge === [[File:The line (2636263071).jpg|thumb|The Blankenberge seafront as seen from the pier.]] {{see also|Blankenberge}} Entering Blankenberge, the first halt is '''Blankenberge Sea Life''', which unsurprisingly is home to the aquarium of the same name, as well as a local pool: * {{see | name=Sea Life Blankenberge | alt= | url=https://www.visitsealife.com/blankenberge/ | email= | address=Koning Albert-I-laan 116, Blankenberge | lat=51.31796 | long=3.14551 | directions= | phone=+31 32 5042 4300 | tollfree= | hours=10:00 - 16:00 | price= | wikidata=Q26490563 | image=Sea Life Blankenberge 6-04-2022 13-42-25.jpg | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content= }} * {{do | name=Farys Noordzeebad | alt= | url=https://www.blankenberge.be/farys-noordzeebad | email= | address=A. van Ackersquare 1, Blankenberge | lat=51.31818 | long=3.14427 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours=M W-Sa 09:00 - 19:00, Tu 10:00 - 19:00; Su 09:00 - 00:00 | price= | wikidata= | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content= }} The next halt, '''Blankenberge Pier''' is named for the 350-m-long (1,150 ft) {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3214 |long=3.1364 |name=Blankenberge Pier |image=Pier Blankenberge R02.jpg}}. It was the first of its kind on the European mainland's Atlantic coast, with the only other one being located in [[Scheveningen]], the Netherlands. The first pier, a cast iron art-nouveau structure, was built in 1894, but was burned down by the German occupiers 20 years later, during the First World War. After the war, the pier was rebuilt after only the skeleton structure survived the fire. In 1933, the new and current pier was opened. On the beach by the pier, you will also find {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.31832 |long=3.13535 |name=De Lustige Velodroom |image=Velodroom Blankenberge - panoramio.jpg}}, a 1933 attraction continued to this day. It consists of a small velodrome, on which you can ride some 70 different special bikes. You're able to either try your best, or look how others aren't any better at controlling the bikes! After Blankenberge Pier, the train station is the next halt. The tram stops on the '''Koning Leopold III-plein''', from where you can head north into the ''Kerkstraat'', where you will find the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.31520 |long=3.12902 |name=Former city hall of Blankenberge |image=Blankenberge Oud Stadhuis 2012.JPG}}. This small and quaint 1680 town hall is just one of many delightful historical buildings in Blankenberge's city centre. Following the Kerkstraat towards the sea, you'll run into other staples of Blankenberge, such as the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.31625 |long=3.12968 |name=Casino Blankenburge |image=Casino Blankenberge.jpg}}, the sea-facing façade of which is covered in upscaled baby statues. Other interesting attractions in Blankenberge include: * {{see | name=Belle Epoquecentrum | alt= | url=https://www.belleepoquecentrum.be/ | email= | address=Elisabethstraat 24, Blankenberge | lat=51.31552 | long=3.13199 | directions= | phone=+31 50 636 640 | tollfree= | hours=Tu-Su 14:00 - 17:00 | price= | wikidata= | image=Interieur Belle Epoque Centrum Blankenberge.jpg | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content=A museum on life during the Belle Époque (roughly 1870 to 1914), which is when many Belgian coastal cities saw their boom, electrification picked up, and man started conquering the skies with planes and Zeppelins. }} * {{see | name=Huisje van Majutte | alt= | url=https://www.majutte.be/ | email= | address=Breydelstraat 10 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours=W–Su: 11:00–18:00 | price= | image=Blankenberge-HuisjeVanMajutte.jpg | wikidata=Q18982233 | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content=Once one of some sixty-odd similar houses, ''Majutte's Little House'' is one of the two surviving 18th-century fisherman's cottages in the Breydelstraat. }} Departing from the train station, '''Blankenberge Markt''' is the next stop. This stop, as well as the next one, serves the marina. From this halt, you can go on foot towards the seafront where you will find the art-deco {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.31258 |long=3.11443 |zoom=18 |name=Lighthouse of Blankenberge |image=Blankenberge Lighthouse R05.jpg}}, built in 1956. On the way there, you will most likely make your way along the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.31335 |long=3.12139 |zoom=18 |name=Paravang |image=Blankenberge Paravent R02.jpg}}, a neo-gothic wind screen dating from 1908. It lies between the marina and the ''Leopoldpark''. The last halt within Blankenberge is '''Blankenberge Maritieme Zone''', which mostly serves residential buildings to the south, as well as part of the marina. ==Blankenberge — Bredene== {{Mapframe|51.268|3.024|zoom=12|width=600|name=Map of the section between Blankenberge and the Bruges-Ostend Canal.}} {{Panorama|image=Blankenberge Panorama R01.jpg|width=800px|caption=View towards Blankenberge from one of the panorama viewpoints in Harendijke.}} === Around Wenduine === Leaving Blankenberge, we find ourselves in Harendijke, which contains more vacation homes than it does normal houses. Serving these is the halt ''Wenduine Harendijke'', which also serves two panorama viewpoints. Wenduine itself is quite sparse in sights, even though the area has been inhabited continuously since the 8th century. Its function as a sea-side resort it has had since 1886. Construction of villas started two years later, and a hotel followed in 1895. From 1902 to 1924, the town was being urbanised, which saw the addition of a traffic boulevard to the north, which the tram follows today. In Wenduine, you can get off the tram at '''Wenduine Manitoba''', '''Wenduine Centrum''' for the city centre and the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2999 |long=3.0758 |name=Spioenkop |image=Spioenkop, Wenduine - panoramio.jpg}}, Belgium's second-highest coastal dune, and at '''Wenduine Molen''' for the small {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.29687 |long=3.07663 |name=Hubertmolen |image=Wenduine - Hubertmolen 1.jpg}}, dating back to 1880. Making our way out of Wenduine, you might be able to see the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.29404 |long=3.07080 |zoom=18 |name=Water tower of Wenduine |image=De Haan Drift Watertoren.JPG}} between the trees. The route of the tram at this point is surrounded on both sides by the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.2862 |long=3.0548 |name=Duinbossen |url=https://www.natuurenbos.be/duinbossen-de-haan |image=De Haan duinen R02.jpg}}, Duinbos Wenduine and Vlissegem to be precise, which lend itself particularly well to hiking and other sports. For this, you can leave the tram at the halts of '''Wenduine Konijnenpad''', '''De Haan Zwarte Kiezel''' and '''De Haan Waterkasteellaan'''. === In De Haan === [[File:Historischer Straßenbahnbahnhof in De Haan (Belgien).jpg|thumb|The 1902 tram station of De Haan, with on the track-facing façade its Dutch name (''De Haan aan Zee''), and on the chimney its French name (''Coq sur Mer''). In the foreground a forbidden-access sign in front.]] {{see also|De Haan}} Simply by passing through De Haan, you get to see one of its most notable buildings. The {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.27265 |long=3.03290 |name=Main tram station of De Haan |image=De Haan Tram Station R01.jpg}} might no longer be in use by the tramways themselves, the tram does stop outside of the former station building at '''De Haan Aan Zee'''. The station building, dating from 1902, is a staple of De Haan by virtue of being a good representative of the many picturesque villas in De Haan. Around the tram station, which now serves as a tourist information point, you will find several historical tramway-related objects, such as bilingual signs between the tracks, stating "''Verboden op den spoorweg te gaan''" / "''Défense de circuler sur la voie''" (English: ''Forbidden to walk onto the tracks''). The town itself lays claim to multiple hundred monuments, many of which villas, shops and hotels that too are built in picturesque style, an art deco style with timber framing elements and other 'rural' influences. You will see plenty of these when walking northwest towards the beach, as whichever route you take, it will lead you past many imposing and undoubtedly expensive villas and villa apartments. === Vosseslag and Bredene === [[File:Bredene strand - panoramio.jpg|thumb|Bredene beach with ''Battery E690'' in the top-right.]] After De Haan's main tram station, '''De Haan Preventoruium''' follows, where, in the dunes leading towards the beach, you can bump into several disused military bunkers. Next is '''De Haan Vosseslag''', which is the access point to the {{Marker|type=do |lat=51.2648 |long=3.0085 |name=Kijkuit |image=}}, the third and final of the ''Duinbossen'' around De Haan en Wenduine. Also at this halt, you will find the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.2648 |long=3.0032 |name=Royal Ostend Golf Club |image=}}, one of Belgium's oldest golf courses and the only actual links course on the Belgian coast. It was directly financed by Leopold II in 1888, as to lure more British tourists to De Haan. Walking towards the beach here, you will cross the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.26551 |long=3.00156 |name=Lighthouse annex Panoramic tower |image=}}. The '''Bredene Renbaan''', as its name implies, was once home to a hippodrome (Dutch: ''Renbaan''). What remains now, is a delightful {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.25569 |long=2.98290 |name=Art Deco shelter |image=Bredene KoninklijkeBaan z.nr. ID54428 - 159221 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}. Taking a walk towards the beach here, will lead you through several hundred metres of dunes. Turning right on the beach leads you to a dedicated [[Nudism|nude beach]]. If nudity is something you shy away from, then you might want to avert your eyes at '''Bredene aan Zee''', for the halt has a prime view of a statue named {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.24820 |long=2.96205|name=De Uitdaging |image=Kunst Duinenplein Bredene (7419698148).jpg}} (''The Temptation''), nicknamed "''Blote Betsy''" (Naked Betsy). Before that halt though, lies '''Bredene Campings''', which mostly serves the campsites in Bredene, as one may guess from the name. It also has the shortest walking distance to the beach though, so if you'd like to shave several metres off of your journey by foot, disembark by the campsites. Just west of the path from '''Bredene aan Zee''' to the beach, lies {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.24893 |long=2.95881 |name=Battery E690 |image=Bredene Koninklijke Baan zonder nummer - 159220 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}, which thankfully has been disarmed of its {{convert|28|cm|inch}} diameter guns, among other firepower the likes of FlaK anti-air guns. This bunker is one of the more prominent war remnants around De Haan, and overlooks the beach, reminding of its original purpose of defending against hostile (Allied) beach landings. Now approaching Ostend, the halt '''Oostende Duin & Zee''' gives access to {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2390 |long=2.9344 |name=Fort Napoleon |url=https://www.fort-napoleon.be/en |image=Fort Napoleon R02.jpg}} and the dozen of smaller batteries littered throughout the dunes. The polygonal fort built in 1811 during the War of the Fifth Coalition. It was subsequently abandoned when by 1814 a British attack had not come, and [[Napoleon]] was on the way out. During the First World War, the German Empire reused the fort, and equipped it with heavy armoured gun batteries. During the Second World War, the fort functioned as a Nazi German artillery headquarters. It became a museum after the way, fell into disuse again, and after five years of restoration, was reopened to the public in 2000. Seeing its many users over time, the fort contains interesting remnants of Napoleonic-era France, the German Empire and to a lesser extent, Nazi Germany. Most notable are the multiple Imperial German murals. Nearby you will also find multiple bunkers like a {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2352 |long=2.9281 |name=Mortar bunker with ammunitions depot |image=Oostende Mortierbunker R01.jpg}}. Also around this halt, you will find {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.23634 |long=2.93050 |name="''Tall Nelly''" |image=Lange Nelle R07.jpg}} ([[Dutch]]: ''Lange Nelle''), nickname of Ostend's slender white-blue lighthouse. Near the bunker, on the south end of the '''Visserijsluis''' (the lock next to the mortar bunker), is the eastern stop of the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.2340 |long=2.9240 |name=Overzetboot |url=https://www.visitoostende.be/en/ferry |image=Het Rode Vierkant op de Zee R10.jpg}}, a free ferry connecting directly to Ostend's city centre. The ferry can transfer fifty people and twenty bikes per trip, and is completely free to use. It drops you off in the middle of Ostend's city centre, making this a nice detour should you want to visit the city centre. Before entering the heart of Ostend, a single halt remains: '''Oostende Weg Naar Vismijn''', which lies at the mouth of the {{Marker| type=do | lat=51.2278 | long=2.9528 |name= Ostend spuikom |image=Oostende Spuikom R01.jpg}}, a water basin in harbours, intended to fill up at high tide to empty again at low tide as to counteract the low tide itself, with the added benefit of washing out sediments in the harbour entrance. The {{convert|80|ha|sqmi}}-large spuikom was constructed in the 20th century, in order to replace four smaller ones already in use. When first tested in 1912, the flow of the new spuikom proved to be so violent that it would quickly eat away at the quays downstream. The infrastructure that made the basin function was destroyed at the end of the First World War, and in 1926 the decision was made to not rebuild this infrastructure. For several decades now, the body of water has been used for water sport. == Ostend == {{Mapframe|51.2311|2.9166|zoom=14|name=The tramline through Ostend.}} [[File:Bredene - Handzame Classic, 18 maart 2016, vertrek (C19).JPG|thumb|Crossing the Demeysluis.]] {{see also|Oostende}} As we cross the canal into Ostend, the first landmark we encounter is the building of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22461 |long=2.94067 |name=Royal Yacht Club d'Ostende (RYCO) |image=Oostende Dokert Edouard Moreauxlaan 2 - 26410 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}. The current clubhouse was inaugurated in 1906, while the harbour was undergoing major reorganisation efforts. The tram continues though the middle of the harbour, with industrial buildings left and right, and occasionally a hidden bunker. When crossing the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2253 |long=2.9313 |name=Demeysluis |image=}}, the tracks again go across either end of the lock, as to be able to continue service regardless of traffic entering or leaving the lock. Regardless of which bridge the tram uses, you will have crossed a nice rotary bridge regardless. Immediately after which, you find yourself on top of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2257 |long=2.9299 |name=De Smet de Naeyer bridges |image=Tettenbrug oostende,.jpg}}, locally dubbed the ''Tettenbrug'', Flemish for ''Bridge of faces'', thanks to the many busts and statues used to decorate the 1903-1905 set of bridges. Until 2002, the bridges were still used for traffic accessing Ostend, but as this traffic proved too much of a strain on the city centre, the tram is the only traffic using the bridge aside from traffic with a local destination. After a good look across the railway tracks leading into '''Ostend station''', we arrive at the halt of the same name, where there is an easy transfer onto the [[#By train|train network]]. Continuing into Ostend's city centre, we first cross paths with {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22652 |long=2.92269 |name=De Mast |image=Oostende - De Mast 1.jpg}}, the second-tallest building in [[West-Flanders]], measuring in at {{convert|87|m|ft}}. The number one spot is taken by the Europacentrum, also in Ostend. The marina on the right, meanwhile, is home to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22698 |long=2.92014 |name=Museum ship Mercator |image=Schoolschip Mercator 56814.jpg}}. It is a possible contender for Belgium's most famous ship, pulling in several thousand visitors each year. The Mercator, built in 1933, is the last Belgian Training ship, being decommissioned in 1960. It was preceded in that task by four other boats, two of which met their end at sea. Two of the five ships (one of which sank within two years of being built) were named after Paul de Smet de Naeyer, the same De Smet de Naeyer that the bridges across the railway were named for. His name was in his day highly celebrated in Ostend due to major investments into maritime endeavours during his time as minister of Finance and Public Works in the early 20th century. After the intersection with the Vindictivelaan, the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22743 |long=2.91686 |name=Ostend Courthouse |image=Het gerechtshof - 375710 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}} stands to the left, followed by the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22858 |long=2.91395 |name=Leopoldpark |image=Le parc et son étang (Léopoldpark-Ostend) (4619075828).jpg}}, which lies surrounded by streets named for Belgian [[Royal families|royalty]]. The park itself contains many beautiful features and novelty items like a floral clock. Opposite the park, and also somewhat clashing against it, is the rather brutalist {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22992 |long=2.91589 |name=Former Post Office of Ostend |image=Mathilde et le bureau des postes (4905004702).jpg}}, now in use as a cultural centre. Rather more quaint of a building can be found a block deeper into the city: The {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.23063 |long=2.91717 |name=Spaans Huisje |image=Spaans.huisje.jpg}} (''Little Spanish House'') is the oldest surviving building of Ostend, dating from 1741 - before Belgium existed, but ironically also after modern-day Belgium stopped being a part of the [[Spanish Empire]], it being Austrian turf at that time. Based out of the house is a city tour guide organisation. From the next halt, '''Oostende Marie-Joséplein''', it's a small walk to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2319 |long=2.9119 |name=Casino-Kursaal |image=Oostende Casino R02.jpg}}, a Kursaal<!--Is there an English term for Kursaal or Kurhaus?--> of about a {{convert|1|ha|sqft}}, making it the largest [[Gambling|casino]] of Europe. The current Kursaal is the third in Ostend, the first being relocated and replaced for one on the seafront, the second being torn down during the Second World War for coastal defences, and the third starting construction directly following the liberation of Belgium. Aside from a casino, it also several halls for conferences and performances, as well as a restaurant. From the Kursaal, the tram continues past some imposing buildings the likes of the 1898 eclectic corner house {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22974 |long=2.91260 |name=La Paloma |image=Palomafront.JPG}} and the Belle Époque {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22918 |long=2.90845 |name=Villa Maritza |image=Oostend Villa Maritza on Albert-1 Promenade A.jpg}}, built in 1885 and with ornate golden highlights in its façade. The lavish luxury (and price) of which makes it no surprise that the operative of the casino once called this his home. [[File:Königliche Galerien am Sandstrand der Albert I. Promenade in Ostende (Oostende Belgien) 2020-09.jpg|thumb|Ostend Beach with to the right the Royal Galleries.]] '''Oostende Koninginnelaan''' is the original beach promenade of Ostend. The tram stops next to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22709 |long=2.90624 |name=Japanese Garden |image=Japanse Tuin Oostende 2007.jpg}}, a part of the '''Royal Villa''' that stands behind it. Passing through the '''Drie Gapers''', the gate shielding from some of the wind coming from sea, you walk right by the contested {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22721 |long=2.90457 |name=Statue of Leopold |image=Reiterdenkmal Leopold II. von Belgien in Ostende (Oostende Belgien), 09-2020-1.jpg}}. The cruelties in the [[Congo Freestate]] during Leopold II's reign make the statue as contested as it is. Due to repeated graffiti vandalism, the statue has no original patina left, and at one point the hand of one of the "Thankful Congolese" in the far left of the scene has been hacked off, to serve as a reminder of Leopold II's actions. The anarchist group responsible has stated that the hand shall return once the Royal Family of Belgium apologises for the inhumanities committed by Leopold, which as of 2022 has not yet happened. From the gate, two ''Gaanderijen'', long galleries along the beach. To the right are the Royal Galleries, to the left the Venetian Galleries, the latter of which is connected to the luxurious {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22585 |long=2.90239 |name=Thermae Palace Hotel |image=56980 Thermae Palace.jpg}}.

For the rest of the year, a '''Golf course''' is also accessible from the halt '''Oostende Renbaan'''. After '''Oostende Northlaan''', the tram continues into Mariakerke, which isn't quite noteworthy in comparison to Ostend. Between its two halts, Mariakerke Bad and Oostende Ravelingen, you will find {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2151 |long=2.8762 |name=Pleasure Island |url=https://www.pleasure-island.org/index |image=}}, a small art expo along the beach. The last building of Mariakerke will be the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2114 |long=2.8719 |name=Duinenkerkje |image=Duinenkerkje02.jpg}}, Mariakerke's old church and the only remaining bit of the old Mariakerke, that had to make way for the Nazi German Atlantikwall.

Even when using a zebra crossing, you have to give way to an oncoming tram. The tracks are surrounded by dunes in many places, meaning that visibility along the track might be reduced - trams can run bidirectionally, and are relatively quiet, so look out when you're near to the tracks. Be predictable for tram drivers and other road users, and keep an eye out for others that might be putting themselves or others in danger. Especially during the holiday season, the halts and boulevards can get crowded, in which case an accident can happen quickly. If you need to contact the '''line operator''' (De Lijn), you can do so via their [https://help.delijn.be/hc/en-us/requests/new online contact form], via [https://www.facebook.com/delijn Facebook] or [https://twitter.com/delijn Twitter] (@delijn), or by dialing {{phone|+32 070 220 200}} ({{EUR|0.30}} per minute).

The 67-km-long route (42-mi) sees some 16.5 million passengers per year travel on the line. ===History=== The modern-day tramline was formed from several lines of the Belgian Local Tramways (Dutch: ''Nationale Maatschappij van Buurtspoorwegen'' or ''NMVB'' for short), with the first construction of lines taking place around 1885, connecting [[Ostend]] and [[Nieuwpoort|Nieuwpoort-Dorp]]. The NMBS operated many other lines branching off of what is now the Kusttram, most of which have since disappeared. The line was, and to this day largely is single-tracked, with trams running left-handed like Belgian trains do to this day. Electrification on parts of the lines started in 1909. That winter, services were continued year-round, whereas services used to be suspended during the winter. During the [[First World War]], the tramline was severed by the front around Nieuwpoort. The line was put to use for goods transport towards the trenches on either side of the frontline. During 1919, the normal passenger services were reinstated. The modern-day route of the tramline formed in the late 1920s, as connections to De Panne were made and electrified. The line since runs almost parallel to the coast, only dipping inland to connect to Nieuwpoort. Plans to bypass Nieuwpoort were made, but never materialised. The [[Second World War]] saw the Belgian coast become a part of the [[Atlantikwall]], which put in place many limitations to passenger transport. Citizens along the coast needed special permission to be allowed to travel inland. In 1940, before Nazi German occupation, the line was already set to be dismantled, though the outbreak of the war stopped any plans from materialising. During Nazi German occupation, electrification was removed between Ostend and Middelkerke, followed by a later ban on all services along the coast. After liberation in September 1944, the coastal route was quickly rebuilt and put back into service by the middle of December. Despite arguments being made to demolish the line to be replaced by buses, the NMVB politely declined, but did close some of the branch lines as time progressed. From 1956 onward, the line operated in two sections, line 1 (Knokke - Ostend) and line 2 (De Panne - Ostend). Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, a clear movement for demolition of the tramway existed, though the NMVB never gave in to these, arguing that during summer, some 900 people needed transportation with the service every half hour in Ostend alone. Alternatives were proposed in the form of an underground railway or elevated railway line. Both were deemed far too expensive and never materialised. In 1991, the line came under operation by De Lijn (Dutch for ''The Line''), which operates most public transit excluding trains in most of [[Flanders]]. New tracks and new rolling stock made the trams faster and more frequent, leading to services with a tram up to every 7½ minutes on some parts of the route. Since the summer of 2001, demand became so high that a 10-minute service along the entire route was put in place. The last extension to the tramline happened in 1998, when the train station in Adinkerke (named ''De Panne'') was connected to the network. ===Pricing=== {| class=wikitable mw-collapsible align=right |+Day-pass pricing !Type !!Children (age 5 or younger) !!Children (ages 6 - 11) !!

Officially named ''LRV'' or ''Light Rail Véhicule'', these trams are more often nicknamed '''BN's''' after the company that produced it, ''La Brugeoise et Nivelles''. The coastal versions (Series 6000) are single-directional vehicles, whereas the Charleroi versions (Series 6100) are bidirectional. Additionally, the coastal stock can run 10 kph faster, having a top speed of {{convert|75|kph|mph}}. The Charleroi stock did start out running along the coast, as coast-bound stock was not yet completed in 1980. Since 1982 though, the Series 6000 operates along the coast, replacing the previous long trams with three pulled trailers, leading to a higher frequency of operation. The Series 6000 started out as {{convert|21|m|ft}} long trams, but since modernisation into a second generation, they come in at a length of {{convert|31.2|m|ft}}. The second generation also saw the top speed raised to {{convert|85|kph|mph}}. Due to several accidents and collisions over time, 44 trams of the Series 6000 remain in 2020. The second generation of Series 6000 can transport some 310 passengers, 73 of which are seated, 237 of which are standing. The middle of its three wagons has a lower floor for wheelchair access. ====Bombardier-Siemens HermeLijn==== The '''HermeLijn''' stock consist of trams taken in from the [[Ghent]] tramways, with two units being in operation on the coastal tramline during summers as to support a higher frequency of operation. Its name is a play on the Dutch name of a stoat, as its livery faintly reminds of the mammal. The L is capitalised to emphasise the name of the operator: ''De Lijn''. The HermeLijn can transport up to 192 people, 58 of which can be seated. The trams, produced between 1999 and 2012, can reach top speeds of up to {{convert|70|kph|mph}} and have a low floor, allowing for wheelchair access. ====CAF Urbos 100 / Zeelijner==== The '''Urbos 100''', nicknamed the ''Zeelijner'' (''Sea liner'') is being put into service to replace the Series 6000. The 48 to 146 units are being put into service since April 2021. They have a capacity of 187, 54 of which are seated, and another 20 are fold-down seats. ====Historical stock==== [[File:Tramparade 1 type S en zomerrijtuigen.jpg|thumb|One of the many trams preserved by TTO, pulling two open summer carriages during a parade in celebration of 125 years of tramways along the coast, pictured near Middelkerke.]] The '''TTO Noordzee''' has ten historical motor coaches that have once operated along the coast or elsewhere in Europe. TTO is based in the tram depot in De Panne, from where they operate "historical services" between De Panne Loskaai and Adinkerke Station. The journey takes some 40 minutes, and departs every Saturday, Sunday and bank holiday of July and August at 13:30, 14:30, 15:30 and 16:30, if a tram operator is available. The journey costs {{EUR|4}}, and children up to the age of six travel for free. Other special running days for historical running stock are on "Open Monumentendag" (second Sunday of September), and a Christmas service from the 26th to the 30th of December. The depot in De Panne can always be visited free. TTO's stock can also be [https://promottonoordzee.wixsite.com/mysite/contacteer-ons rented] for special occasions. ==Prepare== The trip goes through built-up areas with shops, restaurants and other services so you don't need to make any big preparations. Just make sure you have a valid ticket and dress according to the weather (perhaps bring an umbrella). A towel and swimwear can be good to bring if you want to go to the beaches. When travelling with a bike, the tram driver may deny you access if there are already too many bikes on the tram or the tram is too crowded. You must buy a bicycle pass ({{EUR|2}} for 60 min) in addition to your personal ticket to bring a bike onto a tram. If you are travelling with dogs, you may take them on the tram for free, provided that you can keep them leashed or on your lap. It's recommended to travel lightly packed, though if you have no other way, stow your luggage away somewhere where it doesn't block a seat, for example on your lap, between your legs or somewhere else where it will not hinder other travellers. It is also not allowed to eat while travelling on the tram, as to keep the vehicles clean. ===Accessibility=== While the trams are either partially or entirely low-floored, allowing for wheelchair access, not all platforms are at that same height. As of 2019, the wheelchair-<u>in</u>accessible halts are: Knokke Station; Duinbergen Watertoren; Zeebrugge Vaart and Strandwijk; Oostende Marie-Joséplein; Middelkere Casino; Oostduinkerke Bad; Koksijde Bad; De Panne Golfstraat, Centrum, Kerk and Moeder Lambic. Mobility scooters are ''not'' allowed on board a tram. ==Get in== ===By plane=== [[Ostend]] has an airport, Ostend-Bruges International Airport {{IATA|OST}}, but it mostly sees goods traffic. A much more sensible option would be to fly to [[Brussels#By plane|Brussels Zaventem-Airport]] and taking a car or train from there. ===By train=== [[File:De Panne Station 01.JPG|thumb|Arguably the easiest train-tram transfer can be made in Knokke, with trams stopping within a stone's throw of the trains.]] <!--I omitted naming peak hour (P) and L-services unless that is the only service stopping at the station--> Below is an overview of ''all'' connections to the Belgian rail network.

Yet, if you need to shave several minutes of time off of your journey and are heading for Heist, [[Zeebrugge]] or further west by Kusttram, consider catching the tram here instead. Heist itself also has a train station, though it is {{convert|700|m|ft}} from the nearest tram halt. * {{Marker|type=go|lat=51.3264 |long=3.1949 |name={{Station|Zeebrugge-Dorp|city=be|rail}} |image=Station Zeebrugge-Dorp 1.jpg}}: Tram halt ''Zeebrugge Vaart'' is located about 200 metres north of the train station, at the end of the Azorenstraat.

The line here might be continued to [[Dunkirk]] (France) in the future, though until that date, the following services call this the end of the line: ** IC 28: Antwerpen Centraal — Gent-Sint-Pieters — Lichtervelde — De Panne, ''only in service on weekdays''. ** IC 29: [[Landen]] — [[Leuven]] — Zaventem Airport — Brussels-South — Gent-Sint-Pieters (— De Panne), ''only in service on weekends''. ** ICT 6900: Brussels-North — Brussels-South — Gent-Sint-Pieters — De Panne, ''tourist train - only in service during July and August''. ====From France==== The tram's western terminus '''Adinkerke''' is at the eastern extremity of [[Dunkirk]]'s urban bus network, [https://www.dkbus.com/ DK'Bus], which operates completely free-of-charge to all passengers. Dunkirk receives high-speed trains (TGV) from [[Paris]] and [[Lille]], as well as local trains (TER) from [[Calais]]. From the central railway and bus station (''Dunkerque Gare''), take route C1 or C2 to the end of the line (''Leffrinckouke Fort des Dunes''). These operate on a combined 7-minute headway, with a journey time of about 15 min. From Leffrinckouke, route 20 leaves every 30 min throughout the day bound for ''Adinkerque Gare'' (actually De Panne tram and train station), with a journey time of just over 30 min. ===By boat=== Passenger '''ferries''' from the [[United Kingdom]] to Belgium ceased operations in 2021. The only remaining route is a roll on-roll off freight connection from [[Teesport]] to Zeebrugge operated by P&O, which can be used when travelling using a small freight vehicle such as a van. When travelling by camper, double check whether it's allowed on board. For all other vehicles from the UK, consider ferries from [[Harwich (England)|Harwich]] to the [[Hook of Holland]], or from [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]]/[[Newcastle upon Tyne]] to [[Rotterdam]] instead. When on foot, those connect well to the metro (the Hook's harbour is within metres of a metro station). From there, head to ''Rotterdam Centraal'' railway station, take a long-distance train to either Antwerp or Brussels, from where you can get an intercity train to most of the train stations along the coast. Alternatively, you can use the very regular and fast ferry connections from [[Dover (England)|Dover]] to [[Dunkirk]] or [[Calais]] in France instead. The Dunkirk service is only for vehicles, so independent foot passengers should use the Calais route instead, pick up a train from ''Calais-Ville'' to ''Dunkerque'' stations, and then follow the directions in ''From France'' above. If you own a boat yourself and wish to sail to the Belgian coast, '''marinas''' can be found in Zeebrugge, Blankenberge, Ostend and Nieuwpoort. ==Knokke — Blankenberge== {{Mapshape|type=geoline|wikidata=Q1510414|stroke=#ff2d23|stroke-width=2|title=Kusttram (line 0)}} {{Mapframe|51.328|3.209|zoom=12|width=600|name=Map of the easternmost, Knokke to Blankenberge stretch.}} === In Knokke-Heist === {{see also|Knokke-Heist}} Starting just north of Knokke's railway station, the eastern terminus of the Kusttram can be found opposite the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3418 |long=3.2863 |name=Sint-Margarethakerk |image="Onbevlekt Hart van Maria en H.Margareta", parochiekerk van Knokke, Pastoor Opdedrinckplein, Knokke (Knokke-Heist).JPG}}. The church isn't that old, but the shorter tower you're looking at while waiting for the tram to depart is, dating back to 1642. The church sustained heavy damage during the Second World War, and a new church was built between 1955 and 1958, which incorporated the former main tower. Running between houses, the tramway eventually meets up with the ''Elizabetlaan'' near the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3420 |long=3.2682 |name=Duinbergen water tower |image=Watertoren, Arcadelaan, Duinbergen (Knokke-Heist).jpg}} and Park 58, a small nature reserve hardly {{convert|10|ha|sqmi}} large. Shortly after, the halt of ''Duinbergen'' is reached, which stands outside the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3403 |long=3.2607 |name=Heilige Familiekerk |image=Heilige-Familiekerk, Elizabetlaan 300, 8300 Knokke-Heist.jpg}}, another recent church dating from 1939. The modern gothic church features some art deco elements. Duinbergen itself, meanwhile, dates largely from the early 20th century, being shaped after the creative vision of German architect and urban designer Hermann-Josef Stübben. The concession for development of Duinbergen as a whole was given out in 1901, and within seven years, some eighty villas were already constructed. The many villas in Duinbergen give this area a charming view, though tourism introduced a desire for large apartments along the coast, which replaced many of the villas there. Entering into ''Heist'', the tram next stops at the entrance of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3411 |long=3.2520 |name=Directeur-Generaal Willemspark |image=Directeur Willemspark 2021 04.jpg}}. This park formed from a dune ridge, and between both World Wars housed two batteries, constructed by the German Empire, and demolished by the Nazis. Between the wars, these batteries were a museum of sorts, with admission fees funding veterans' welfare. After the war, the dune landscape was reconstructed and the park was created. The paths in the park are named for political prisoners from Heist that didn't see the end of the Second World War, the only exceptions being the ''Keunepitpad'' (rabbit hole path) and ''Bunkerpad'' (bunker path). The park was rejuvenated in 2015, and borders the seashore. In the ''town centre of Heist'', the tramway inches closer towards the coast, with two broad squares providing views across the sea. These are the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3410 |long=3.2402 |name=Heldenplein |image=Standbeeld voor slachtoffers v- Eerste wereldoorlog.jpg}}, featuring a statue commemorating those fallen during the First World War, and the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3406 |long=3.2349 |name=Vissershuldeplein |image=Vissershuldeplein 2021 01.jpg}}, meaning ''Fishermen-homage-square''. It's quite unsurprising that the statue here pays homage to local fishermen. Just east of the Heldenplein you can also find the picturesque {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.34113 |long=3.24246 |name=Visserskapel |image=Visserskapel 2021 00.jpg}}, a small neo-gothic chapel for fishermen, built in 1854. The chapel was taken down in 1868 as the sea came closer and closer to damaging the original chapel. It was reconstructed in 1927 when a smaller chapel with a statue of the Holy Theresia got added as well, which can be found just behind the chapel itself. === In Zeebrugge === [[File:Zeebrugge West-Hinder R03.jpg|thumb|The marina of Zeebrugge, which is littered with maritime items, like these two beacons and the ''West-Hinder II'' in the background.]] [[File:Zeebrugge St George's Day-wandeling R01.jpg|thumb|The Saint-George's Day-Wandeling in Zeebrugge.]] {{see also|Zeebrugge}} Leaving Heist, we first pass the short and stubby {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.33950 |long=3.22738 |name=Low-light of Heist |image=Heist Klein Licht R02.jpg}}, a small lighthouse to the west of Heist which together with the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3376 |long=3.2304 |name=High-light of Heist |image=Heist Vuurtoren R01.jpg}} made an orientation point for ships out at sea. The next halt along the route is ''Zeebrugge Zeesluis'', which serves the eastern side of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3340 |long=3.2172 |name=Pierre Vandamme Lock |image=Zeebrugge Pierre Vandammesluis R02.jpg}}, the largest lock of the Zeebrugge port, measuring in at a length of {{convert|500|m|ft}}, a width of {{convert|57|m|ft}} and a depth of {{convert|18.5|m|ft}}. Should you find the massive bridges linking both banks to be open, fear not, for the tram will make a short detour via the other end of the locks. The first stop in ''Zeebrugge'' proper is ''Zeebrugge Kerk'', named for the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.33174 |long=3.20738 |name=Sint-Donatuskerk |image=Sint-Donatuskerk (Zeebrugge) 25-06-2019 16-34-21.jpg}} beside the halt, named for Donatius of Reims, a 4th-century French bishop and patron saint of [[Bruges]]. The church was completed in 1911, burned down towards the end of the First World War and was rebuilt by 1920. It again sustained major damage during the next World War, and was rebuilt once more in 1951. The hall church is neogothic with a front-facing tower with an eight-sided upper body. The churchyard to the side of the church is not the resting place of any locals, as one would expect, but instead is where the remains of 175 German (three of whom unidentified) and 30 British soldiers (17 of whom unidentified) who lost their lives in the First World War. 44 of the German casualties were due to a tram accident in September 1915; another 40 were crew members of two torpedo boats that were sunk during a sea battle off the coast of Zeebrugge. To the north of Zeebrugge Kerk lies {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.3330 |long=3.2018 |zoom=17 |name=Seafront |url=https://www.seafront.be/ |image=}}, a theme park focussing on fishery and maritime history, which attracts some 50,000 visitors annually. One of the most prominent sights here is the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3344 |long=3.2082 |zoom=17 |name=West-Hinder II |image=Zeebrugge West-Hinder R06.jpg}}, a 1950s boat which warned passing ships of sandbanks, and searched for off-shore plane- and shipwrecks. Some of the vessel's duties have since been taken over by buoys, so it has been lifted out of the water and placed at the head of the marina as a memorial. Seafont also has a small museum. Next, the tram crosses the disused railway 202, a branch line that once served the harbour of Zeebrugge. It then crosses the '''Visartsluis''' either via the (northern) {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3287 |long=3.1979 |name=Visartbrug|image=Zeebrugge Visartbrug R02.jpg}} or the (southern) monumental {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3269 |long=3.1984 |name=Straussbrug |image=Zeebrugge Straussbrug R01.jpg}}, where the tram briefly runs alongside the aforementioned railway 202, which connects to Zeebrugge-Dorp train station shortly after. The station itself can be reached at the next halt, ''Zeebrugge Vaart''. This halt serves the ''Stationswijk'', which, despite being rich in monumental listings, is not the most picturesque of destinations. The next stop has some more sights. '''Zeebrugge Strandwijk''' serves the part of Zeebrugge that borders the beach. Aside from a visit to {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.3311 |long=3.1765 |name=Zeebrugge Beach |image=Zeebrugge Beach R02.jpg}}, there are some buildings here that might be worth seeing, most notably the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3296 |long=3.1826 |name=Palace Hotel |image=Zeebrugge Palace R03.jpg}}, a monumental hotel overlooking the beach. Additionally, you can walk out onto the pier following the ''Saint-George's Day-Wandeling'', which is full of remembrance plaques for the Zeebrugge Raid, a British attack on the port of Zeebrugge on the night of the 23rd and morning of the 24th of April 1918. The harbour was the launching point of German U-boats, and the intended goal of the attack was to blockade the harbour and prevent U-boats from reaching the North Sea. The then-barrier dam which was contested during the battle can still be traced up to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3476 |long=3.2030 |name=Old Mole and lighthouse |image=Zeebrugge Old Mole R01.jpg}}. Leaving Zeebrugge-Standwijk, the tramway continues to follow the '''Kustlaan'''. Between Zeebrugge and Blankenberge, the route squeezes through a nature buffer consisting of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3190 |long=3.1624 |name=Zeebos |image=Blankenberge-Zeebrugge Cycling Trail R02.jpg}} and {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3229 |long=3.1552 |name=De Fonteintjes |image=Zeebrugge Fonteintjes R03.jpg}}. The latter is home to many tender and rare orchids. === In Blankenberge === [[File:The line (2636263071).jpg|thumb|The Blankenberge seafront as seen from the pier.]] {{see also|Blankenberge}} Entering Blankenberge, the first halt is '''Blankenberge Sea Life''', which unsurprisingly is home to the aquarium of the same name, as well as a local pool: * {{see | name=Sea Life Blankenberge | alt= | url=https://www.visitsealife.com/blankenberge/ | email= | address=Koning Albert-I-laan 116, Blankenberge | lat=51.31796 | long=3.14551 | directions= | phone=+31 32 5042 4300 | tollfree= | hours=10:00 - 16:00 | price= | wikidata=Q26490563 | image=Sea Life Blankenberge 6-04-2022 13-42-25.jpg | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content= }} * {{do | name=Farys Noordzeebad | alt= | url=https://www.blankenberge.be/farys-noordzeebad | email= | address=A. van Ackersquare 1, Blankenberge | lat=51.31818 | long=3.14427 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours=M W-Sa 09:00 - 19:00, Tu 10:00 - 19:00; Su 09:00 - 00:00 | price= | wikidata= | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content= }} The next halt, '''Blankenberge Pier''' is named for the 350-m-long (1,150 ft) {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3214 |long=3.1364 |name=Blankenberge Pier |image=Pier Blankenberge R02.jpg}}. It was the first of its kind on the European mainland's Atlantic coast, with the only other one being located in [[Scheveningen]], the Netherlands. The first pier, a cast iron art-nouveau structure, was built in 1894, but was burned down by the German occupiers 20 years later, during the First World War. After the war, the pier was rebuilt after only the skeleton structure survived the fire. In 1933, the new and current pier was opened. On the beach by the pier, you will also find {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.31832 |long=3.13535 |name=De Lustige Velodroom |image=Velodroom Blankenberge - panoramio.jpg}}, a 1933 attraction continued to this day. It consists of a small velodrome, on which you can ride some 70 different special bikes. You're able to either try your best, or look how others aren't any better at controlling the bikes! After Blankenberge Pier, the train station is the next halt. The tram stops on the '''Koning Leopold III-plein''', from where you can head north into the ''Kerkstraat'', where you will find the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.31520 |long=3.12902 |name=Former city hall of Blankenberge |image=Blankenberge Oud Stadhuis 2012.JPG}}. This small and quaint 1680 town hall is just one of many delightful historical buildings in Blankenberge's city centre. Following the Kerkstraat towards the sea, you'll run into other staples of Blankenberge, such as the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.31625 |long=3.12968 |name=Casino Blankenburge |image=Casino Blankenberge.jpg}}, the sea-facing façade of which is covered in upscaled baby statues. Other interesting attractions in Blankenberge include: * {{see | name=Belle Epoquecentrum | alt= | url=https://www.belleepoquecentrum.be/ | email= | address=Elisabethstraat 24, Blankenberge | lat=51.31552 | long=3.13199 | directions= | phone=+31 50 636 640 | tollfree= | hours=Tu-Su 14:00 - 17:00 | price= | wikidata= | image=Interieur Belle Epoque Centrum Blankenberge.jpg | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content=A museum on life during the Belle Époque (roughly 1870 to 1914), which is when many Belgian coastal cities saw their boom, electrification picked up, and man started conquering the skies with planes and Zeppelins. }} * {{see | name=Huisje van Majutte | alt= | url=https://www.majutte.be/ | email= | address=Breydelstraat 10 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours=W–Su: 11:00–18:00 | price= | image=Blankenberge-HuisjeVanMajutte.jpg | wikidata=Q18982233 | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content=Once one of some sixty-odd similar houses, ''Majutte's Little House'' is one of the two surviving 18th-century fisherman's cottages in the Breydelstraat. }} Departing from the train station, '''Blankenberge Markt''' is the next stop. This stop, as well as the next one, serves the marina. From this halt, you can go on foot towards the seafront where you will find the art-deco {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.31258 |long=3.11443 |zoom=18 |name=Lighthouse of Blankenberge |image=Blankenberge Lighthouse R05.jpg}}, built in 1956. On the way there, you will most likely make your way along the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.31335 |long=3.12139 |zoom=18 |name=Paravang |image=Blankenberge Paravent R02.jpg}}, a neo-gothic wind screen dating from 1908. It lies between the marina and the ''Leopoldpark''. The last halt within Blankenberge is '''Blankenberge Maritieme Zone''', which mostly serves residential buildings to the south, as well as part of the marina. ==Blankenberge — Bredene== {{Mapframe|51.268|3.024|zoom=12|width=600|name=Map of the section between Blankenberge and the Bruges-Ostend Canal.}} {{Panorama|image=Blankenberge Panorama R01.jpg|width=800px|caption=View towards Blankenberge from one of the panorama viewpoints in Harendijke.}} === Around Wenduine === Leaving Blankenberge, we find ourselves in Harendijke, which contains more vacation homes than it does normal houses. Serving these is the halt ''Wenduine Harendijke'', which also serves two panorama viewpoints. Wenduine itself is quite sparse in sights, even though the area has been inhabited continuously since the 8th century. Its function as a sea-side resort it has had since 1886. Construction of villas started two years later, and a hotel followed in 1895. From 1902 to 1924, the town was being urbanised, which saw the addition of a traffic boulevard to the north, which the tram follows today. In Wenduine, you can get off the tram at '''Wenduine Manitoba''', '''Wenduine Centrum''' for the city centre and the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2999 |long=3.0758 |name=Spioenkop |image=Spioenkop, Wenduine - panoramio.jpg}}, Belgium's second-highest coastal dune, and at '''Wenduine Molen''' for the small {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.29687 |long=3.07663 |name=Hubertmolen |image=Wenduine - Hubertmolen 1.jpg}}, dating back to 1880. Making our way out of Wenduine, you might be able to see the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.29404 |long=3.07080 |zoom=18 |name=Water tower of Wenduine |image=De Haan Drift Watertoren.JPG}} between the trees. The route of the tram at this point is surrounded on both sides by the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.2862 |long=3.0548 |name=Duinbossen |url=https://www.natuurenbos.be/duinbossen-de-haan |image=De Haan duinen R02.jpg}}, Duinbos Wenduine and Vlissegem to be precise, which lend itself particularly well to hiking and other sports. For this, you can leave the tram at the halts of '''Wenduine Konijnenpad''', '''De Haan Zwarte Kiezel''' and '''De Haan Waterkasteellaan'''. === In De Haan === [[File:Historischer Straßenbahnbahnhof in De Haan (Belgien).jpg|thumb|The 1902 tram station of De Haan, with on the track-facing façade its Dutch name (''De Haan aan Zee''), and on the chimney its French name (''Coq sur Mer''). In the foreground a forbidden-access sign in front.]] {{see also|De Haan}} Simply by passing through De Haan, you get to see one of its most notable buildings. The {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.27265 |long=3.03290 |name=Main tram station of De Haan |image=De Haan Tram Station R01.jpg}} might no longer be in use by the tramways themselves, the tram does stop outside of the former station building at '''De Haan Aan Zee'''. The station building, dating from 1902, is a staple of De Haan by virtue of being a good representative of the many picturesque villas in De Haan. Around the tram station, which now serves as a tourist information point, you will find several historical tramway-related objects, such as bilingual signs between the tracks, stating "''Verboden op den spoorweg te gaan''" / "''Défense de circuler sur la voie''" (English: ''Forbidden to walk onto the tracks''). The town itself lays claim to multiple hundred monuments, many of which villas, shops and hotels that too are built in picturesque style, an art deco style with timber framing elements and other 'rural' influences. You will see plenty of these when walking northwest towards the beach, as whichever route you take, it will lead you past many imposing and undoubtedly expensive villas and villa apartments. === Vosseslag and Bredene === [[File:Bredene strand - panoramio.jpg|thumb|Bredene beach with ''Battery E690'' in the top-right.]] After De Haan's main tram station, '''De Haan Preventoruium''' follows, where, in the dunes leading towards the beach, you can bump into several disused military bunkers. Next is '''De Haan Vosseslag''', which is the access point to the {{Marker|type=do |lat=51.2648 |long=3.0085 |name=Kijkuit |image=}}, the third and final of the ''Duinbossen'' around De Haan en Wenduine. Also at this halt, you will find the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.2648 |long=3.0032 |name=Royal Ostend Golf Club |image=}}, one of Belgium's oldest golf courses and the only actual links course on the Belgian coast. It was directly financed by Leopold II in 1888, as to lure more British tourists to De Haan. Walking towards the beach here, you will cross the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.26551 |long=3.00156 |name=Lighthouse annex Panoramic tower |image=}}. The '''Bredene Renbaan''', as its name implies, was once home to a hippodrome (Dutch: ''Renbaan''). What remains now, is a delightful {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.25569 |long=2.98290 |name=Art Deco shelter |image=Bredene KoninklijkeBaan z.nr. ID54428 - 159221 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}. Taking a walk towards the beach here, will lead you through several hundred metres of dunes. Turning right on the beach leads you to a dedicated [[Nudism|nude beach]]. If nudity is something you shy away from, then you might want to avert your eyes at '''Bredene aan Zee''', for the halt has a prime view of a statue named {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.24820 |long=2.96205|name=De Uitdaging |image=Kunst Duinenplein Bredene (7419698148).jpg}} (''The Temptation''), nicknamed "''Blote Betsy''" (Naked Betsy). Before that halt though, lies '''Bredene Campings''', which mostly serves the campsites in Bredene, as one may guess from the name. It also has the shortest walking distance to the beach though, so if you'd like to shave several metres off of your journey by foot, disembark by the campsites. Just west of the path from '''Bredene aan Zee''' to the beach, lies {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.24893 |long=2.95881 |name=Battery E690 |image=Bredene Koninklijke Baan zonder nummer - 159220 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}, which thankfully has been disarmed of its {{convert|28|cm|inch}} diameter guns, among other firepower the likes of FlaK anti-air guns. This bunker is one of the more prominent war remnants around De Haan, and overlooks the beach, reminding of its original purpose of defending against hostile (Allied) beach landings. Now approaching Ostend, the halt '''Oostende Duin & Zee''' gives access to {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2390 |long=2.9344 |name=Fort Napoleon |url=https://www.fort-napoleon.be/en |image=Fort Napoleon R02.jpg}} and the dozen of smaller batteries littered throughout the dunes. The polygonal fort built in 1811 during the War of the Fifth Coalition. It was subsequently abandoned when by 1814 a British attack had not come, and [[Napoleon]] was on the way out. During the First World War, the German Empire reused the fort, and equipped it with heavy armoured gun batteries. During the Second World War, the fort functioned as a Nazi German artillery headquarters. It became a museum after the way, fell into disuse again, and after five years of restoration, was reopened to the public in 2000. Seeing its many users over time, the fort contains interesting remnants of Napoleonic-era France, the German Empire and to a lesser extent, Nazi Germany. Most notable are the multiple Imperial German murals. Nearby you will also find multiple bunkers like a {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2352 |long=2.9281 |name=Mortar bunker with ammunitions depot |image=Oostende Mortierbunker R01.jpg}}. Also around this halt, you will find {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.23634 |long=2.93050 |name="''Tall Nelly''" |image=Lange Nelle R07.jpg}} ([[Dutch]]: ''Lange Nelle''), nickname of Ostend's slender white-blue lighthouse. Near the bunker, on the south end of the '''Visserijsluis''' (the lock next to the mortar bunker), is the eastern stop of the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.2340 |long=2.9240 |name=Overzetboot |url=https://www.visitoostende.be/en/ferry |image=Het Rode Vierkant op de Zee R10.jpg}}, a free ferry connecting directly to Ostend's city centre. The ferry can transfer fifty people and twenty bikes per trip, and is completely free to use. It drops you off in the middle of Ostend's city centre, making this a nice detour should you want to visit the city centre. Before entering the heart of Ostend, a single halt remains: '''Oostende Weg Naar Vismijn''', which lies at the mouth of the {{Marker| type=do | lat=51.2278 | long=2.9528 |name= Ostend spuikom |image=Oostende Spuikom R01.jpg}}, a water basin in harbours, intended to fill up at high tide to empty again at low tide as to counteract the low tide itself, with the added benefit of washing out sediments in the harbour entrance. The {{convert|80|ha|sqmi}}-large spuikom was constructed in the 20th century, in order to replace four smaller ones already in use. When first tested in 1912, the flow of the new spuikom proved to be so violent that it would quickly eat away at the quays downstream. The infrastructure that made the basin function was destroyed at the end of the First World War, and in 1926 the decision was made to not rebuild this infrastructure. For several decades now, the body of water has been used for water sport. == Ostend == {{Mapframe|51.2311|2.9166|zoom=14|name=The tramline through Ostend.}} [[File:Bredene - Handzame Classic, 18 maart 2016, vertrek (C19).JPG|thumb|Crossing the Demeysluis.]] {{see also|Oostende}} As we cross the canal into Ostend, the first landmark we encounter is the building of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22461 |long=2.94067 |name=Royal Yacht Club d'Ostende (RYCO) |image=Oostende Dokert Edouard Moreauxlaan 2 - 26410 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}. The current clubhouse was inaugurated in 1906, while the harbour was undergoing major reorganisation efforts. The tram continues though the middle of the harbour, with industrial buildings left and right, and occasionally a hidden bunker. When crossing the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2253 |long=2.9313 |name=Demeysluis |image=}}, the tracks again go across either end of the lock, as to be able to continue service regardless of traffic entering or leaving the lock. Regardless of which bridge the tram uses, you will have crossed a nice rotary bridge regardless. Immediately after which, you find yourself on top of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2257 |long=2.9299 |name=De Smet de Naeyer bridges |image=Tettenbrug oostende,.jpg}}, locally dubbed the ''Tettenbrug'', Flemish for ''Bridge of faces'', thanks to the many busts and statues used to decorate the 1903-1905 set of bridges. Until 2002, the bridges were still used for traffic accessing Ostend, but as this traffic proved too much of a strain on the city centre, the tram is the only traffic using the bridge aside from traffic with a local destination. After a good look across the railway tracks leading into '''Ostend station''', we arrive at the halt of the same name, where there is an easy transfer onto the [[#By train|train network]]. Continuing into Ostend's city centre, we first cross paths with {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22652 |long=2.92269 |name=De Mast |image=Oostende - De Mast 1.jpg}}, the second-tallest building in [[West-Flanders]], measuring in at {{convert|87|m|ft}}. The number one spot is taken by the Europacentrum, also in Ostend. The marina on the right, meanwhile, is home to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22698 |long=2.92014 |name=Museum ship Mercator |image=Schoolschip Mercator 56814.jpg}}. It is a possible contender for Belgium's most famous ship, pulling in several thousand visitors each year. The Mercator, built in 1933, is the last Belgian Training ship, being decommissioned in 1960. It was preceded in that task by four other boats, two of which met their end at sea. Two of the five ships (one of which sank within two years of being built) were named after Paul de Smet de Naeyer, the same De Smet de Naeyer that the bridges across the railway were named for. His name was in his day highly celebrated in Ostend due to major investments into maritime endeavours during his time as minister of Finance and Public Works in the early 20th century. After the intersection with the Vindictivelaan, the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22743 |long=2.91686 |name=Ostend Courthouse |image=Het gerechtshof - 375710 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}} stands to the left, followed by the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22858 |long=2.91395 |name=Leopoldpark |image=Le parc et son étang (Léopoldpark-Ostend) (4619075828).jpg}}, which lies surrounded by streets named for Belgian [[Royal families|royalty]]. The park itself contains many beautiful features and novelty items like a floral clock. Opposite the park, and also somewhat clashing against it, is the rather brutalist {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22992 |long=2.91589 |name=Former Post Office of Ostend |image=Mathilde et le bureau des postes (4905004702).jpg}}, now in use as a cultural centre. Rather more quaint of a building can be found a block deeper into the city: The {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.23063 |long=2.91717 |name=Spaans Huisje |image=Spaans.huisje.jpg}} (''Little Spanish House'') is the oldest surviving building of Ostend, dating from 1741 - before Belgium existed, but ironically also after modern-day Belgium stopped being a part of the [[Spanish Empire]], it being Austrian turf at that time. Based out of the house is a city tour guide organisation. From the next halt, '''Oostende Marie-Joséplein''', it's a small walk to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2319 |long=2.9119 |name=Casino-Kursaal |image=Oostende Casino R02.jpg}}, a Kursaal<!--Is there an English term for Kursaal or Kurhaus?--> of about a {{convert|1|ha|sqft}}, making it the largest [[Gambling|casino]] of Europe. The current Kursaal is the third in Ostend, the first being relocated and replaced for one on the seafront, the second being torn down during the Second World War for coastal defences, and the third starting construction directly following the liberation of Belgium. Aside from a casino, it also several halls for conferences and performances, as well as a restaurant. From the Kursaal, the tram continues past some imposing buildings the likes of the 1898 eclectic corner house {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22974 |long=2.91260 |name=La Paloma |image=Palomafront.JPG}} and the Belle Époque {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22918 |long=2.90845 |name=Villa Maritza |image=Oostend Villa Maritza on Albert-1 Promenade A.jpg}}, built in 1885 and with ornate golden highlights in its façade. The lavish luxury (and price) of which makes it no surprise that the operative of the casino once called this his home. [[File:Königliche Galerien am Sandstrand der Albert I. Promenade in Ostende (Oostende Belgien) 2020-09.jpg|thumb|Ostend Beach with to the right the Royal Galleries.]] '''Oostende Koninginnelaan''' is the original beach promenade of Ostend. The tram stops next to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22709 |long=2.90624 |name=Japanese Garden |image=Japanse Tuin Oostende 2007.jpg}}, a part of the '''Royal Villa''' that stands behind it. Passing through the '''Drie Gapers''', the gate shielding from some of the wind coming from sea, you walk right by the contested {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22721 |long=2.90457 |name=Statue of Leopold |image=Reiterdenkmal Leopold II. von Belgien in Ostende (Oostende Belgien), 09-2020-1.jpg}}. The cruelties in the [[Congo Freestate]] during Leopold II's reign make the statue as contested as it is. Due to repeated graffiti vandalism, the statue has no original patina left, and at one point the hand of one of the "Thankful Congolese" in the far left of the scene has been hacked off, to serve as a reminder of Leopold II's actions. The anarchist group responsible has stated that the hand shall return once the Royal Family of Belgium apologises for the inhumanities committed by Leopold, which as of 2022 has not yet happened. From the gate, two ''Gaanderijen'', long galleries along the beach. To the right are the Royal Galleries, to the left the Venetian Galleries, the latter of which is connected to the luxurious {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22585 |long=2.90239 |name=Thermae Palace Hotel |image=56980 Thermae Palace.jpg}}. Inside the galleries are art installations and small museums. At the end of the Venetian Galleries, the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.22318 |long=2.90070 |zoom=18 |name=Wellington Hippodrome |image=Renbaan(07).jpg}}, which has nine running days throughout July and August. For the rest of the year, a '''Golf course''' is also accessible from the halt '''Oostende Renbaan'''. After '''Oostende Northlaan''', the tram continues into Mariakerke, which isn't quite noteworthy in comparison to Ostend. Between its two halts, Mariakerke Bad and Oostende Ravelingen, you will find {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2151 |long=2.8762 |name=Pleasure Island |url=https://www.pleasure-island.org/index |image=}}, a small art expo along the beach. The last building of Mariakerke will be the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2114 |long=2.8719 |name=Duinenkerkje |image=Duinenkerkje02.jpg}}, Mariakerke's old church and the only remaining bit of the old Mariakerke, that had to make way for the Nazi German Atlantikwall. It's directly after the church that two dug-in batteries of the Atlantikwall hide in the undergrowth on the land-side. ==Raversijde — Nieuwpoort-Stad== {{Mapframe|51.177|2.831|zoom=12|width=600|height=500|name=Map of the section between Oostende and Nieuwpoort-Stad.}} ===Raversijde=== Following the beach promenade and the sea dike, we pass Raversijde and '''Ostend-Bruges International Airport''', after which we find the '''Raversijde Domein Raversijde''' halt, named for the provincial domain Raversijde. It was opened in 1988 and is still being developed further. It stems from the former Royal Domain of Leopold II, who had a Norse chalet built here, which disappeared during the First World War. During the Second, it was used for construction of the Atlantikwall, and was given to Charles VI, the last Count of Flanders after his regency, and he subsequently settled in the domain. In 1981, he sold the domain to the state, which then opened it to the public seven years later. The domain, as of 2022 contains: * {{see | name=Openluchtmuseum Atlantikwall | alt=Atlantikwall Open Air Museum | url=https://www.raversyde.be/en/atlantikwall-raversyde | email= | address= Duinenstraat 147 , Oostende | lat=51.20065 | long=2.84716 | directions= | phone=+32 5970 2285 | tollfree= | hours=10:30-18:00 | price=€8 | wikidata=Q892947 | lastedit=2022-08-05 | content=An open air museum focussing on the Nazi mega-project that was the Atlantikwall, a large coastal defence system of bunkers stretching from southern France to northern Norway, as to defend against a British invasion.

It has three halts on the tram route, '''Middelkerke De Greefplein''' to the east, '''Middelkerke Casino''' in the middle of the town, and '''Middelkerke Verhaeghelaan''' to the west. At De Greefplein, you'll find {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.18889 |long=2.81778 |name=De Oude Post |image=Paul de Smet de Naeyerstraat 36 Middelkerke.jpg}}, a tourist information point, but also a small museum. The second halt, '''Casino''', may or may not have a different name depending on when you're visiting, as the casino it is named for no longer stands today and is being replaced by a new building. Until completion of the new casino, there is little more its place than a ferris wheel, which admittedly gives great views of both the sea- and land-side. Possibly more interesting is the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.18734 |long=2.81376 |name=Zeedijk Comic statues |image=Statue of Jerom from Suske en Wiske on Zeedijk, Middelkerke (DSCF9898).jpg}}, seventeen statues of some of Belgium's most famous comic book figures, placed along the length of the Zeedijk. Along the beachfront itself are a plethora of restaurants, but also more uncommon businesses like an arcade (Reflex-21). The last halt, '''Verhaeghelaan''' is the closest to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.18370 |long=2.80680 |name=Saint Theresia Chapel |image=Leopoldlaan z.nr. kapel - 13873 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}, but also gives access to the north side of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.1780 |long=2.7960 |name=Warandeduinen |image=}}, a nature reserve of {{convert|32|ha|sqmi}}.

Even when using a zebra crossing, you have to give way to an oncoming tram. The tracks are surrounded by dunes in many places, meaning that visibility along the track might be reduced - trams can run bidirectionally, and are relatively quiet, so look out when you're near to the tracks. Be predictable for tram drivers and other road users, and keep an eye out for others that might be putting themselves or others in danger. Especially during the holiday season, the halts and boulevards can get crowded, in which case an accident can happen quickly. If you need to contact the '''line operator''' (De Lijn), you can do so via their [https://help.delijn.be/hc/en-us/requests/new online contact form], via [https://www.facebook.com/delijn Facebook] or [https://twitter.com/delijn Twitter] (@delijn), or by dialing {{phone|+32 070 220 200}} ({{EUR|0.30}} per minute).

The 67-km-long route (42-mi) sees some 16.5 million passengers per year travel on the line. ===History=== The modern-day tramline was formed from several lines of the Belgian Local Tramways (Dutch: ''Nationale Maatschappij van Buurtspoorwegen'' or ''NMVB'' for short), with the first construction of lines taking place around 1885, connecting [[Ostend]] and [[Nieuwpoort|Nieuwpoort-Dorp]]. The NMBS operated many other lines branching off of what is now the Kusttram, most of which have since disappeared. The line was, and to this day largely is single-tracked, with trams running left-handed like Belgian trains do to this day. Electrification on parts of the lines started in 1909. That winter, services were continued year-round, whereas services used to be suspended during the winter. During the [[First World War]], the tramline was severed by the front around Nieuwpoort. The line was put to use for goods transport towards the trenches on either side of the frontline. During 1919, the normal passenger services were reinstated. The modern-day route of the tramline formed in the late 1920s, as connections to De Panne were made and electrified. The line since runs almost parallel to the coast, only dipping inland to connect to Nieuwpoort. Plans to bypass Nieuwpoort were made, but never materialised. The [[Second World War]] saw the Belgian coast become a part of the [[Atlantikwall]], which put in place many limitations to passenger transport. Citizens along the coast needed special permission to be allowed to travel inland. In 1940, before Nazi German occupation, the line was already set to be dismantled, though the outbreak of the war stopped any plans from materialising. During Nazi German occupation, electrification was removed between Ostend and Middelkerke, followed by a later ban on all services along the coast. After liberation in September 1944, the coastal route was quickly rebuilt and put back into service by the middle of December. Despite arguments being made to demolish the line to be replaced by buses, the NMVB politely declined, but did close some of the branch lines as time progressed. From 1956 onward, the line operated in two sections, line 1 (Knokke - Ostend) and line 2 (De Panne - Ostend). Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, a clear movement for demolition of the tramway existed, though the NMVB never gave in to these, arguing that during summer, some 900 people needed transportation with the service every half hour in Ostend alone. Alternatives were proposed in the form of an underground railway or elevated railway line. Both were deemed far too expensive and never materialised. In 1991, the line came under operation by De Lijn (Dutch for ''The Line''), which operates most public transit excluding trains in most of [[Flanders]]. New tracks and new rolling stock made the trams faster and more frequent, leading to services with a tram up to every 7½ minutes on some parts of the route. Since the summer of 2001, demand became so high that a 10-minute service along the entire route was put in place. The last extension to the tramline happened in 1998, when the train station in Adinkerke (named ''De Panne'') was connected to the network. ===Pricing=== {| class=wikitable mw-collapsible align=right |+Day-pass pricing !Type !!Children (age 5 or younger) !!Children (ages 6 - 11) !!

Officially named ''LRV'' or ''Light Rail Véhicule'', these trams are more often nicknamed '''BN's''' after the company that produced it, ''La Brugeoise et Nivelles''. The coastal versions (Series 6000) are single-directional vehicles, whereas the Charleroi versions (Series 6100) are bidirectional. Additionally, the coastal stock can run 10 kph faster, having a top speed of {{convert|75|kph|mph}}. The Charleroi stock did start out running along the coast, as coast-bound stock was not yet completed in 1980. Since 1982 though, the Series 6000 operates along the coast, replacing the previous long trams with three pulled trailers, leading to a higher frequency of operation. The Series 6000 started out as {{convert|21|m|ft}} long trams, but since modernisation into a second generation, they come in at a length of {{convert|31.2|m|ft}}. The second generation also saw the top speed raised to {{convert|85|kph|mph}}. Due to several accidents and collisions over time, 44 trams of the Series 6000 remain in 2020. The second generation of Series 6000 can transport some 310 passengers, 73 of which are seated, 237 of which are standing. The middle of its three wagons has a lower floor for wheelchair access. ====Bombardier-Siemens HermeLijn==== The '''HermeLijn''' stock consist of trams taken in from the [[Ghent]] tramways, with two units being in operation on the coastal tramline during summers as to support a higher frequency of operation. Its name is a play on the Dutch name of a stoat, as its livery faintly reminds of the mammal. The L is capitalised to emphasise the name of the operator: ''De Lijn''. The HermeLijn can transport up to 192 people, 58 of which can be seated. The trams, produced between 1999 and 2012, can reach top speeds of up to {{convert|70|kph|mph}} and have a low floor, allowing for wheelchair access. ====CAF Urbos 100 / Zeelijner==== The '''Urbos 100''', nicknamed the ''Zeelijner'' (''Sea liner'') is being put into service to replace the Series 6000. The 48 to 146 units are being put into service since April 2021. They have a capacity of 187, 54 of which are seated, and another 20 are fold-down seats. ====Historical stock==== [[File:Tramparade 1 type S en zomerrijtuigen.jpg|thumb|One of the many trams preserved by TTO, pulling two open summer carriages during a parade in celebration of 125 years of tramways along the coast, pictured near Middelkerke.]] The '''TTO Noordzee''' has ten historical motor coaches that have once operated along the coast or elsewhere in Europe. TTO is based in the tram depot in De Panne, from where they operate "historical services" between De Panne Loskaai and Adinkerke Station. The journey takes some 40 minutes, and departs every Saturday, Sunday and bank holiday of July and August at 13:30, 14:30, 15:30 and 16:30, if a tram operator is available. The journey costs {{EUR|4}}, and children up to the age of six travel for free. Other special running days for historical running stock are on "Open Monumentendag" (second Sunday of September), and a Christmas service from the 26th to the 30th of December. The depot in De Panne can always be visited free. TTO's stock can also be [https://promottonoordzee.wixsite.com/mysite/contacteer-ons rented] for special occasions. ==Prepare== The trip goes through built-up areas with shops, restaurants and other services so you don't need to make any big preparations. Just make sure you have a valid ticket and dress according to the weather (perhaps bring an umbrella). A towel and swimwear can be good to bring if you want to go to the beaches. When travelling with a bike, the tram driver may deny you access if there are already too many bikes on the tram or the tram is too crowded. You must buy a bicycle pass ({{EUR|2}} for 60 min) in addition to your personal ticket to bring a bike onto a tram. If you are travelling with dogs, you may take them on the tram for free, provided that you can keep them leashed or on your lap. It's recommended to travel lightly packed, though if you have no other way, stow your luggage away somewhere where it doesn't block a seat, for example on your lap, between your legs or somewhere else where it will not hinder other travellers. It is also not allowed to eat while travelling on the tram, as to keep the vehicles clean. ===Accessibility=== While the trams are either partially or entirely low-floored, allowing for wheelchair access, not all platforms are at that same height. As of 2019, the wheelchair-<u>in</u>accessible halts are: Knokke Station; Duinbergen Watertoren; Zeebrugge Vaart and Strandwijk; Oostende Marie-Joséplein; Middelkere Casino; Oostduinkerke Bad; Koksijde Bad; De Panne Golfstraat, Centrum, Kerk and Moeder Lambic. Mobility scooters are ''not'' allowed on board a tram. ==Get in== ===By plane=== [[Ostend]] has an airport, Ostend-Bruges International Airport {{IATA|OST}}, but it mostly sees goods traffic. A much more sensible option would be to fly to [[Brussels#By plane|Brussels Zaventem-Airport]] and taking a car or train from there. ===By train=== [[File:De Panne Station 01.JPG|thumb|Arguably the easiest train-tram transfer can be made in Knokke, with trams stopping within a stone's throw of the trains.]] <!--I omitted naming peak hour (P) and L-services unless that is the only service stopping at the station--> Below is an overview of ''all'' connections to the Belgian rail network.

From the central railway and bus station (''Dunkerque Gare''), take route C1 or C2 to the end of the line (''Leffrinckouke Fort des Dunes''). These operate on a combined 7-minute headway, with a journey time of about 15 min. From Leffrinckouke, route 20 leaves every 30 min throughout the day bound for ''Adinkerque Gare'' (actually De Panne tram and train station), with a journey time of just over 30 min. ===By boat=== Passenger '''ferries''' from the [[United Kingdom]] to Belgium ceased operations in 2021. The only remaining route is a roll on-roll off freight connection from [[Teesport]] to Zeebrugge operated by P&O, which can be used when travelling using a small freight vehicle such as a van. When travelling by camper, double check whether it's allowed on board. For all other vehicles from the UK, consider ferries from [[Harwich (England)|Harwich]] to the [[Hook of Holland]], or from [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]]/[[Newcastle upon Tyne]] to [[Rotterdam]] instead. When on foot, those connect well to the metro (the Hook's harbour is within metres of a metro station). From there, head to ''Rotterdam Centraal'' railway station, take a long-distance train to either Antwerp or Brussels, from where you can get an intercity train to most of the train stations along the coast. Alternatively, you can use the very regular and fast ferry connections from [[Dover (England)|Dover]] to [[Dunkirk]] or [[Calais]] in France instead. The Dunkirk service is only for vehicles, so independent foot passengers should use the Calais route instead, pick up a train from ''Calais-Ville'' to ''Dunkerque'' stations, and then follow the directions in ''From France'' above. If you own a boat yourself and wish to sail to the Belgian coast, '''marinas''' can be found in Zeebrugge, Blankenberge, Ostend and Nieuwpoort. ==Knokke — Blankenberge== {{Mapshape|type=geoline|wikidata=Q1510414|stroke=#ff2d23|stroke-width=2|title=Kusttram (line 0)}} {{Mapframe|51.328|3.209|zoom=12|width=600|name=Map of the easternmost, Knokke to Blankenberge stretch.}} === In Knokke-Heist === {{see also|Knokke-Heist}} Starting just north of Knokke's railway station, the eastern terminus of the Kusttram can be found opposite the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3418 |long=3.2863 |name=Sint-Margarethakerk |image="Onbevlekt Hart van Maria en H.Margareta", parochiekerk van Knokke, Pastoor Opdedrinckplein, Knokke (Knokke-Heist).JPG}}. The church isn't that old, but the shorter tower you're looking at while waiting for the tram to depart is, dating back to 1642. The church sustained heavy damage during the Second World War, and a new church was built between 1955 and 1958, which incorporated the former main tower. Running between houses, the tramway eventually meets up with the ''Elizabetlaan'' near the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3420 |long=3.2682 |name=Duinbergen water tower |image=Watertoren, Arcadelaan, Duinbergen (Knokke-Heist).jpg}} and Park 58, a small nature reserve hardly {{convert|10|ha|sqmi}} large. Shortly after, the halt of ''Duinbergen'' is reached, which stands outside the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3403 |long=3.2607 |name=Heilige Familiekerk |image=Heilige-Familiekerk, Elizabetlaan 300, 8300 Knokke-Heist.jpg}}, another recent church dating from 1939. The modern gothic church features some art deco elements. Duinbergen itself, meanwhile, dates largely from the early 20th century, being shaped after the creative vision of German architect and urban designer Hermann-Josef Stübben. The concession for development of Duinbergen as a whole was given out in 1901, and within seven years, some eighty villas were already constructed. The many villas in Duinbergen give this area a charming view, though tourism introduced a desire for large apartments along the coast, which replaced many of the villas there. Entering into ''Heist'', the tram next stops at the entrance of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3411 |long=3.2520 |name=Directeur-Generaal Willemspark |image=Directeur Willemspark 2021 04.jpg}}. This park formed from a dune ridge, and between both World Wars housed two batteries, constructed by the German Empire, and demolished by the Nazis. Between the wars, these batteries were a museum of sorts, with admission fees funding veterans' welfare. After the war, the dune landscape was reconstructed and the park was created. The paths in the park are named for political prisoners from Heist that didn't see the end of the Second World War, the only exceptions being the ''Keunepitpad'' (rabbit hole path) and ''Bunkerpad'' (bunker path). The park was rejuvenated in 2015, and borders the seashore. In the ''town centre of Heist'', the tramway inches closer towards the coast, with two broad squares providing views across the sea. These are the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3410 |long=3.2402 |name=Heldenplein |image=Standbeeld voor slachtoffers v- Eerste wereldoorlog.jpg}}, featuring a statue commemorating those fallen during the First World War, and the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3406 |long=3.2349 |name=Vissershuldeplein |image=Vissershuldeplein 2021 01.jpg}}, meaning ''Fishermen-homage-square''. It's quite unsurprising that the statue here pays homage to local fishermen. Just east of the Heldenplein you can also find the picturesque {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.34113 |long=3.24246 |name=Visserskapel |image=Visserskapel 2021 00.jpg}}, a small neo-gothic chapel for fishermen, built in 1854. The chapel was taken down in 1868 as the sea came closer and closer to damaging the original chapel. It was reconstructed in 1927 when a smaller chapel with a statue of the Holy Theresia got added as well, which can be found just behind the chapel itself. === In Zeebrugge === [[File:Zeebrugge West-Hinder R03.jpg|thumb|The marina of Zeebrugge, which is littered with maritime items, like these two beacons and the ''West-Hinder II'' in the background.]] [[File:Zeebrugge St George's Day-wandeling R01.jpg|thumb|The Saint-George's Day-Wandeling in Zeebrugge.]] {{see also|Zeebrugge}} Leaving Heist, we first pass the short and stubby {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.33950 |long=3.22738 |name=Low-light of Heist |image=Heist Klein Licht R02.jpg}}, a small lighthouse to the west of Heist which together with the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3376 |long=3.2304 |name=High-light of Heist |image=Heist Vuurtoren R01.jpg}} made an orientation point for ships out at sea. The next halt along the route is ''Zeebrugge Zeesluis'', which serves the eastern side of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3340 |long=3.2172 |name=Pierre Vandamme Lock |image=Zeebrugge Pierre Vandammesluis R02.jpg}}, the largest lock of the Zeebrugge port, measuring in at a length of {{convert|500|m|ft}}, a width of {{convert|57|m|ft}} and a depth of {{convert|18.5|m|ft}}. Should you find the massive bridges linking both banks to be open, fear not, for the tram will make a short detour via the other end of the locks. The first stop in ''Zeebrugge'' proper is ''Zeebrugge Kerk'', named for the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.33174 |long=3.20738 |name=Sint-Donatuskerk |image=Sint-Donatuskerk (Zeebrugge) 25-06-2019 16-34-21.jpg}} beside the halt, named for Donatius of Reims, a 4th-century French bishop and patron saint of [[Bruges]]. The church was completed in 1911, burned down towards the end of the First World War and was rebuilt by 1920. It again sustained major damage during the next World War, and was rebuilt once more in 1951. The hall church is neogothic with a front-facing tower with an eight-sided upper body. The churchyard to the side of the church is not the resting place of any locals, as one would expect, but instead is where the remains of 175 German (three of whom unidentified) and 30 British soldiers (17 of whom unidentified) who lost their lives in the First World War. 44 of the German casualties were due to a tram accident in September 1915; another 40 were crew members of two torpedo boats that were sunk during a sea battle off the coast of Zeebrugge. To the north of Zeebrugge Kerk lies {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.3330 |long=3.2018 |zoom=17 |name=Seafront |url=https://www.seafront.be/ |image=}}, a theme park focussing on fishery and maritime history, which attracts some 50,000 visitors annually. One of the most prominent sights here is the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3344 |long=3.2082 |zoom=17 |name=West-Hinder II |image=Zeebrugge West-Hinder R06.jpg}}, a 1950s boat which warned passing ships of sandbanks, and searched for off-shore plane- and shipwrecks. Some of the vessel's duties have since been taken over by buoys, so it has been lifted out of the water and placed at the head of the marina as a memorial. Seafont also has a small museum. Next, the tram crosses the disused railway 202, a branch line that once served the harbour of Zeebrugge. It then crosses the '''Visartsluis''' either via the (northern) {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3287 |long=3.1979 |name=Visartbrug|image=Zeebrugge Visartbrug R02.jpg}} or the (southern) monumental {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3269 |long=3.1984 |name=Straussbrug |image=Zeebrugge Straussbrug R01.jpg}}, where the tram briefly runs alongside the aforementioned railway 202, which connects to Zeebrugge-Dorp train station shortly after. The station itself can be reached at the next halt, ''Zeebrugge Vaart''. This halt serves the ''Stationswijk'', which, despite being rich in monumental listings, is not the most picturesque of destinations. The next stop has some more sights. '''Zeebrugge Strandwijk''' serves the part of Zeebrugge that borders the beach. Aside from a visit to {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.3311 |long=3.1765 |name=Zeebrugge Beach |image=Zeebrugge Beach R02.jpg}}, there are some buildings here that might be worth seeing, most notably the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3296 |long=3.1826 |name=Palace Hotel |image=Zeebrugge Palace R03.jpg}}, a monumental hotel overlooking the beach. Additionally, you can walk out onto the pier following the ''Saint-George's Day-Wandeling'', which is full of remembrance plaques for the Zeebrugge Raid, a British attack on the port of Zeebrugge on the night of the 23rd and morning of the 24th of April 1918. The harbour was the launching point of German U-boats, and the intended goal of the attack was to blockade the harbour and prevent U-boats from reaching the North Sea. The then-barrier dam which was contested during the battle can still be traced up to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3476 |long=3.2030 |name=Old Mole and lighthouse |image=Zeebrugge Old Mole R01.jpg}}. Leaving Zeebrugge-Standwijk, the tramway continues to follow the '''Kustlaan'''. Between Zeebrugge and Blankenberge, the route squeezes through a nature buffer consisting of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3190 |long=3.1624 |name=Zeebos |image=Blankenberge-Zeebrugge Cycling Trail R02.jpg}} and {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3229 |long=3.1552 |name=De Fonteintjes |image=Zeebrugge Fonteintjes R03.jpg}}. The latter is home to many tender and rare orchids. === In Blankenberge === [[File:The line (2636263071).jpg|thumb|The Blankenberge seafront as seen from the pier.]] {{see also|Blankenberge}} Entering Blankenberge, the first halt is '''Blankenberge Sea Life''', which unsurprisingly is home to the aquarium of the same name, as well as a local pool: * {{see | name=Sea Life Blankenberge | alt= | url=https://www.visitsealife.com/blankenberge/ | email= | address=Koning Albert-I-laan 116, Blankenberge | lat=51.31796 | long=3.14551 | directions= | phone=+31 32 5042 4300 | tollfree= | hours=10:00 - 16:00 | price= | wikidata=Q26490563 | image=Sea Life Blankenberge 6-04-2022 13-42-25.jpg | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content= }} * {{do | name=Farys Noordzeebad | alt= | url=https://www.blankenberge.be/farys-noordzeebad | email= | address=A. van Ackersquare 1, Blankenberge | lat=51.31818 | long=3.14427 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours=M W-Sa 09:00 - 19:00, Tu 10:00 - 19:00; Su 09:00 - 00:00 | price= | wikidata= | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content= }} The next halt, '''Blankenberge Pier''' is named for the 350-m-long (1,150 ft) {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3214 |long=3.1364 |name=Blankenberge Pier |image=Pier Blankenberge R02.jpg}}. It was the first of its kind on the European mainland's Atlantic coast, with the only other one being located in [[Scheveningen]], the Netherlands. The first pier, a cast iron art-nouveau structure, was built in 1894, but was burned down by the German occupiers 20 years later, during the First World War. After the war, the pier was rebuilt after only the skeleton structure survived the fire. In 1933, the new and current pier was opened. On the beach by the pier, you will also find {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.31832 |long=3.13535 |name=De Lustige Velodroom |image=Velodroom Blankenberge - panoramio.jpg}}, a 1933 attraction continued to this day. It consists of a small velodrome, on which you can ride some 70 different special bikes. You're able to either try your best, or look how others aren't any better at controlling the bikes! After Blankenberge Pier, the train station is the next halt. The tram stops on the '''Koning Leopold III-plein''', from where you can head north into the ''Kerkstraat'', where you will find the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.31520 |long=3.12902 |name=Former city hall of Blankenberge |image=Blankenberge Oud Stadhuis 2012.JPG}}. This small and quaint 1680 town hall is just one of many delightful historical buildings in Blankenberge's city centre. Following the Kerkstraat towards the sea, you'll run into other staples of Blankenberge, such as the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.31625 |long=3.12968 |name=Casino Blankenburge |image=Casino Blankenberge.jpg}}, the sea-facing façade of which is covered in upscaled baby statues. Other interesting attractions in Blankenberge include: * {{see | name=Belle Epoquecentrum | alt= | url=https://www.belleepoquecentrum.be/ | email= | address=Elisabethstraat 24, Blankenberge | lat=51.31552 | long=3.13199 | directions= | phone=+31 50 636 640 | tollfree= | hours=Tu-Su 14:00 - 17:00 | price= | wikidata= | image=Interieur Belle Epoque Centrum Blankenberge.jpg | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content=A museum on life during the Belle Époque (roughly 1870 to 1914), which is when many Belgian coastal cities saw their boom, electrification picked up, and man started conquering the skies with planes and Zeppelins. }} * {{see | name=Huisje van Majutte | alt= | url=https://www.majutte.be/ | email= | address=Breydelstraat 10 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours=W–Su: 11:00–18:00 | price= | image=Blankenberge-HuisjeVanMajutte.jpg | wikidata=Q18982233 | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content=Once one of some sixty-odd similar houses, ''Majutte's Little House'' is one of the two surviving 18th-century fisherman's cottages in the Breydelstraat. }} Departing from the train station, '''Blankenberge Markt''' is the next stop. This stop, as well as the next one, serves the marina. From this halt, you can go on foot towards the seafront where you will find the art-deco {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.31258 |long=3.11443 |zoom=18 |name=Lighthouse of Blankenberge |image=Blankenberge Lighthouse R05.jpg}}, built in 1956. On the way there, you will most likely make your way along the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.31335 |long=3.12139 |zoom=18 |name=Paravang |image=Blankenberge Paravent R02.jpg}}, a neo-gothic wind screen dating from 1908. It lies between the marina and the ''Leopoldpark''. The last halt within Blankenberge is '''Blankenberge Maritieme Zone''', which mostly serves residential buildings to the south, as well as part of the marina. ==Blankenberge — Bredene== {{Mapframe|51.268|3.024|zoom=12|width=600|name=Map of the section between Blankenberge and the Bruges-Ostend Canal.}} {{Panorama|image=Blankenberge Panorama R01.jpg|width=800px|caption=View towards Blankenberge from one of the panorama viewpoints in Harendijke.}} === Around Wenduine === Leaving Blankenberge, we find ourselves in Harendijke, which contains more vacation homes than it does normal houses. Serving these is the halt ''Wenduine Harendijke'', which also serves two panorama viewpoints. Wenduine itself is quite sparse in sights, even though the area has been inhabited continuously since the 8th century. Its function as a sea-side resort it has had since 1886. Construction of villas started two years later, and a hotel followed in 1895. From 1902 to 1924, the town was being urbanised, which saw the addition of a traffic boulevard to the north, which the tram follows today. In Wenduine, you can get off the tram at '''Wenduine Manitoba''', '''Wenduine Centrum''' for the city centre and the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2999 |long=3.0758 |name=Spioenkop |image=Spioenkop, Wenduine - panoramio.jpg}}, Belgium's second-highest coastal dune, and at '''Wenduine Molen''' for the small {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.29687 |long=3.07663 |name=Hubertmolen |image=Wenduine - Hubertmolen 1.jpg}}, dating back to 1880. Making our way out of Wenduine, you might be able to see the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.29404 |long=3.07080 |zoom=18 |name=Water tower of Wenduine |image=De Haan Drift Watertoren.JPG}} between the trees. The route of the tram at this point is surrounded on both sides by the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.2862 |long=3.0548 |name=Duinbossen |url=https://www.natuurenbos.be/duinbossen-de-haan |image=De Haan duinen R02.jpg}}, Duinbos Wenduine and Vlissegem to be precise, which lend itself particularly well to hiking and other sports. For this, you can leave the tram at the halts of '''Wenduine Konijnenpad''', '''De Haan Zwarte Kiezel''' and '''De Haan Waterkasteellaan'''. === In De Haan === [[File:Historischer Straßenbahnbahnhof in De Haan (Belgien).jpg|thumb|The 1902 tram station of De Haan, with on the track-facing façade its Dutch name (''De Haan aan Zee''), and on the chimney its French name (''Coq sur Mer''). In the foreground a forbidden-access sign in front.]] {{see also|De Haan}} Simply by passing through De Haan, you get to see one of its most notable buildings. The {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.27265 |long=3.03290 |name=Main tram station of De Haan |image=De Haan Tram Station R01.jpg}} might no longer be in use by the tramways themselves, the tram does stop outside of the former station building at '''De Haan Aan Zee'''. The station building, dating from 1902, is a staple of De Haan by virtue of being a good representative of the many picturesque villas in De Haan. Around the tram station, which now serves as a tourist information point, you will find several historical tramway-related objects, such as bilingual signs between the tracks, stating "''Verboden op den spoorweg te gaan''" / "''Défense de circuler sur la voie''" (English: ''Forbidden to walk onto the tracks''). The town itself lays claim to multiple hundred monuments, many of which villas, shops and hotels that too are built in picturesque style, an art deco style with timber framing elements and other 'rural' influences. You will see plenty of these when walking northwest towards the beach, as whichever route you take, it will lead you past many imposing and undoubtedly expensive villas and villa apartments. === Vosseslag and Bredene === [[File:Bredene strand - panoramio.jpg|thumb|Bredene beach with ''Battery E690'' in the top-right.]] After De Haan's main tram station, '''De Haan Preventoruium''' follows, where, in the dunes leading towards the beach, you can bump into several disused military bunkers. Next is '''De Haan Vosseslag''', which is the access point to the {{Marker|type=do |lat=51.2648 |long=3.0085 |name=Kijkuit |image=}}, the third and final of the ''Duinbossen'' around De Haan en Wenduine. Also at this halt, you will find the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.2648 |long=3.0032 |name=Royal Ostend Golf Club |image=}}, one of Belgium's oldest golf courses and the only actual links course on the Belgian coast. It was directly financed by Leopold II in 1888, as to lure more British tourists to De Haan. Walking towards the beach here, you will cross the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.26551 |long=3.00156 |name=Lighthouse annex Panoramic tower |image=}}. The '''Bredene Renbaan''', as its name implies, was once home to a hippodrome (Dutch: ''Renbaan''). What remains now, is a delightful {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.25569 |long=2.98290 |name=Art Deco shelter |image=Bredene KoninklijkeBaan z.nr. ID54428 - 159221 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}. Taking a walk towards the beach here, will lead you through several hundred metres of dunes. Turning right on the beach leads you to a dedicated [[Nudism|nude beach]]. If nudity is something you shy away from, then you might want to avert your eyes at '''Bredene aan Zee''', for the halt has a prime view of a statue named {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.24820 |long=2.96205|name=De Uitdaging |image=Kunst Duinenplein Bredene (7419698148).jpg}} (''The Temptation''), nicknamed "''Blote Betsy''" (Naked Betsy). Before that halt though, lies '''Bredene Campings''', which mostly serves the campsites in Bredene, as one may guess from the name. It also has the shortest walking distance to the beach though, so if you'd like to shave several metres off of your journey by foot, disembark by the campsites. Just west of the path from '''Bredene aan Zee''' to the beach, lies {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.24893 |long=2.95881 |name=Battery E690 |image=Bredene Koninklijke Baan zonder nummer - 159220 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}, which thankfully has been disarmed of its {{convert|28|cm|inch}} diameter guns, among other firepower the likes of FlaK anti-air guns. This bunker is one of the more prominent war remnants around De Haan, and overlooks the beach, reminding of its original purpose of defending against hostile (Allied) beach landings. Now approaching Ostend, the halt '''Oostende Duin & Zee''' gives access to {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2390 |long=2.9344 |name=Fort Napoleon |url=https://www.fort-napoleon.be/en |image=Fort Napoleon R02.jpg}} and the dozen of smaller batteries littered throughout the dunes. The polygonal fort built in 1811 during the War of the Fifth Coalition. It was subsequently abandoned when by 1814 a British attack had not come, and [[Napoleon]] was on the way out. During the First World War, the German Empire reused the fort, and equipped it with heavy armoured gun batteries. During the Second World War, the fort functioned as a Nazi German artillery headquarters. It became a museum after the way, fell into disuse again, and after five years of restoration, was reopened to the public in 2000. Seeing its many users over time, the fort contains interesting remnants of Napoleonic-era France, the German Empire and to a lesser extent, Nazi Germany. Most notable are the multiple Imperial German murals. Nearby you will also find multiple bunkers like a {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2352 |long=2.9281 |name=Mortar bunker with ammunitions depot |image=Oostende Mortierbunker R01.jpg}}. Also around this halt, you will find {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.23634 |long=2.93050 |name="''Tall Nelly''" |image=Lange Nelle R07.jpg}} ([[Dutch]]: ''Lange Nelle''), nickname of Ostend's slender white-blue lighthouse. Near the bunker, on the south end of the '''Visserijsluis''' (the lock next to the mortar bunker), is the eastern stop of the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.2340 |long=2.9240 |name=Overzetboot |url=https://www.visitoostende.be/en/ferry |image=Het Rode Vierkant op de Zee R10.jpg}}, a free ferry connecting directly to Ostend's city centre. The ferry can transfer fifty people and twenty bikes per trip, and is completely free to use. It drops you off in the middle of Ostend's city centre, making this a nice detour should you want to visit the city centre. Before entering the heart of Ostend, a single halt remains: '''Oostende Weg Naar Vismijn''', which lies at the mouth of the {{Marker| type=do | lat=51.2278 | long=2.9528 |name= Ostend spuikom |image=Oostende Spuikom R01.jpg}}, a water basin in harbours, intended to fill up at high tide to empty again at low tide as to counteract the low tide itself, with the added benefit of washing out sediments in the harbour entrance. The {{convert|80|ha|sqmi}}-large spuikom was constructed in the 20th century, in order to replace four smaller ones already in use. When first tested in 1912, the flow of the new spuikom proved to be so violent that it would quickly eat away at the quays downstream. The infrastructure that made the basin function was destroyed at the end of the First World War, and in 1926 the decision was made to not rebuild this infrastructure. For several decades now, the body of water has been used for water sport. == Ostend == {{Mapframe|51.2311|2.9166|zoom=14|name=The tramline through Ostend.}} [[File:Bredene - Handzame Classic, 18 maart 2016, vertrek (C19).JPG|thumb|Crossing the Demeysluis.]] {{see also|Oostende}} As we cross the canal into Ostend, the first landmark we encounter is the building of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22461 |long=2.94067 |name=Royal Yacht Club d'Ostende (RYCO) |image=Oostende Dokert Edouard Moreauxlaan 2 - 26410 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}. The current clubhouse was inaugurated in 1906, while the harbour was undergoing major reorganisation efforts. The tram continues though the middle of the harbour, with industrial buildings left and right, and occasionally a hidden bunker. When crossing the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2253 |long=2.9313 |name=Demeysluis |image=}}, the tracks again go across either end of the lock, as to be able to continue service regardless of traffic entering or leaving the lock. Regardless of which bridge the tram uses, you will have crossed a nice rotary bridge regardless. Immediately after which, you find yourself on top of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2257 |long=2.9299 |name=De Smet de Naeyer bridges |image=Tettenbrug oostende,.jpg}}, locally dubbed the ''Tettenbrug'', Flemish for ''Bridge of faces'', thanks to the many busts and statues used to decorate the 1903-1905 set of bridges. Until 2002, the bridges were still used for traffic accessing Ostend, but as this traffic proved too much of a strain on the city centre, the tram is the only traffic using the bridge aside from traffic with a local destination. After a good look across the railway tracks leading into '''Ostend station''', we arrive at the halt of the same name, where there is an easy transfer onto the [[#By train|train network]]. Continuing into Ostend's city centre, we first cross paths with {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22652 |long=2.92269 |name=De Mast |image=Oostende - De Mast 1.jpg}}, the second-tallest building in [[West-Flanders]], measuring in at {{convert|87|m|ft}}. The number one spot is taken by the Europacentrum, also in Ostend. The marina on the right, meanwhile, is home to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22698 |long=2.92014 |name=Museum ship Mercator |image=Schoolschip Mercator 56814.jpg}}. It is a possible contender for Belgium's most famous ship, pulling in several thousand visitors each year. The Mercator, built in 1933, is the last Belgian Training ship, being decommissioned in 1960. It was preceded in that task by four other boats, two of which met their end at sea. Two of the five ships (one of which sank within two years of being built) were named after Paul de Smet de Naeyer, the same De Smet de Naeyer that the bridges across the railway were named for. His name was in his day highly celebrated in Ostend due to major investments into maritime endeavours during his time as minister of Finance and Public Works in the early 20th century. After the intersection with the Vindictivelaan, the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22743 |long=2.91686 |name=Ostend Courthouse |image=Het gerechtshof - 375710 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}} stands to the left, followed by the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22858 |long=2.91395 |name=Leopoldpark |image=Le parc et son étang (Léopoldpark-Ostend) (4619075828).jpg}}, which lies surrounded by streets named for Belgian [[Royal families|royalty]]. The park itself contains many beautiful features and novelty items like a floral clock. Opposite the park, and also somewhat clashing against it, is the rather brutalist {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22992 |long=2.91589 |name=Former Post Office of Ostend |image=Mathilde et le bureau des postes (4905004702).jpg}}, now in use as a cultural centre. Rather more quaint of a building can be found a block deeper into the city: The {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.23063 |long=2.91717 |name=Spaans Huisje |image=Spaans.huisje.jpg}} (''Little Spanish House'') is the oldest surviving building of Ostend, dating from 1741 - before Belgium existed, but ironically also after modern-day Belgium stopped being a part of the [[Spanish Empire]], it being Austrian turf at that time. Based out of the house is a city tour guide organisation. From the next halt, '''Oostende Marie-Joséplein''', it's a small walk to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2319 |long=2.9119 |name=Casino-Kursaal |image=Oostende Casino R02.jpg}}, a Kursaal<!--Is there an English term for Kursaal or Kurhaus?--> of about a {{convert|1|ha|sqft}}, making it the largest [[Gambling|casino]] of Europe. The current Kursaal is the third in Ostend, the first being relocated and replaced for one on the seafront, the second being torn down during the Second World War for coastal defences, and the third starting construction directly following the liberation of Belgium. Aside from a casino, it also several halls for conferences and performances, as well as a restaurant. From the Kursaal, the tram continues past some imposing buildings the likes of the 1898 eclectic corner house {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22974 |long=2.91260 |name=La Paloma |image=Palomafront.JPG}} and the Belle Époque {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22918 |long=2.90845 |name=Villa Maritza |image=Oostend Villa Maritza on Albert-1 Promenade A.jpg}}, built in 1885 and with ornate golden highlights in its façade. The lavish luxury (and price) of which makes it no surprise that the operative of the casino once called this his home. [[File:Königliche Galerien am Sandstrand der Albert I. Promenade in Ostende (Oostende Belgien) 2020-09.jpg|thumb|Ostend Beach with to the right the Royal Galleries.]] '''Oostende Koninginnelaan''' is the original beach promenade of Ostend. The tram stops next to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22709 |long=2.90624 |name=Japanese Garden |image=Japanse Tuin Oostende 2007.jpg}}, a part of the '''Royal Villa''' that stands behind it. Passing through the '''Drie Gapers''', the gate shielding from some of the wind coming from sea, you walk right by the contested {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22721 |long=2.90457 |name=Statue of Leopold |image=Reiterdenkmal Leopold II. von Belgien in Ostende (Oostende Belgien), 09-2020-1.jpg}}. The cruelties in the [[Congo Freestate]] during Leopold II's reign make the statue as contested as it is. Due to repeated graffiti vandalism, the statue has no original patina left, and at one point the hand of one of the "Thankful Congolese" in the far left of the scene has been hacked off, to serve as a reminder of Leopold II's actions. The anarchist group responsible has stated that the hand shall return once the Royal Family of Belgium apologises for the inhumanities committed by Leopold, which as of 2022 has not yet happened. From the gate, two ''Gaanderijen'', long galleries along the beach. To the right are the Royal Galleries, to the left the Venetian Galleries, the latter of which is connected to the luxurious {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22585 |long=2.90239 |name=Thermae Palace Hotel |image=56980 Thermae Palace.jpg}}. Inside the galleries are art installations and small museums.

For the rest of the year, a '''Golf course''' is also accessible from the halt '''Oostende Renbaan'''. After '''Oostende Northlaan''', the tram continues into Mariakerke, which isn't quite noteworthy in comparison to Ostend. Between its two halts, Mariakerke Bad and Oostende Ravelingen, you will find {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2151 |long=2.8762 |name=Pleasure Island |url=https://www.pleasure-island.org/index |image=}}, a small art expo along the beach. The last building of Mariakerke will be the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2114 |long=2.8719 |name=Duinenkerkje |image=Duinenkerkje02.jpg}}, Mariakerke's old church and the only remaining bit of the old Mariakerke, that had to make way for the Nazi German Atlantikwall. It's directly after the church that two dug-in batteries of the Atlantikwall hide in the undergrowth on the land-side. ==Raversijde — Nieuwpoort-Stad== {{Mapframe|51.177|2.831|zoom=12|width=600|height=500|name=Map of the section between Oostende and Nieuwpoort-Stad.}} ===Raversijde=== Following the beach promenade and the sea dike, we pass Raversijde and '''Ostend-Bruges International Airport''', after which we find the '''Raversijde Domein Raversijde''' halt, named for the provincial domain Raversijde. It was opened in 1988 and is still being developed further. It stems from the former Royal Domain of Leopold II, who had a Norse chalet built here, which disappeared during the First World War. During the Second, it was used for construction of the Atlantikwall, and was given to Charles VI, the last Count of Flanders after his regency, and he subsequently settled in the domain. In 1981, he sold the domain to the state, which then opened it to the public seven years later. The domain, as of 2022 contains: * {{see | name=Openluchtmuseum Atlantikwall | alt=Atlantikwall Open Air Museum | url=https://www.raversyde.be/en/atlantikwall-raversyde | email= | address= Duinenstraat 147 , Oostende | lat=51.20065 | long=2.84716 | directions= | phone=+32 5970 2285 | tollfree= | hours=10:30-18:00 | price=€8 | wikidata=Q892947 | lastedit=2022-08-05 | content=An open air museum focussing on the Nazi mega-project that was the Atlantikwall, a large coastal defence system of bunkers stretching from southern France to northern Norway, as to defend against a British invasion.

It has three halts on the tram route, '''Middelkerke De Greefplein''' to the east, '''Middelkerke Casino''' in the middle of the town, and '''Middelkerke Verhaeghelaan''' to the west. At De Greefplein, you'll find {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.18889 |long=2.81778 |name=De Oude Post |image=Paul de Smet de Naeyerstraat 36 Middelkerke.jpg}}, a tourist information point, but also a small museum. The second halt, '''Casino''', may or may not have a different name depending on when you're visiting, as the casino it is named for no longer stands today and is being replaced by a new building. Until completion of the new casino, there is little more its place than a ferris wheel, which admittedly gives great views of both the sea- and land-side. Possibly more interesting is the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.18734 |long=2.81376 |name=Zeedijk Comic statues |image=Statue of Jerom from Suske en Wiske on Zeedijk, Middelkerke (DSCF9898).jpg}}, seventeen statues of some of Belgium's most famous comic book figures, placed along the length of the Zeedijk. Along the beachfront itself are a plethora of restaurants, but also more uncommon businesses like an arcade (Reflex-21).

Even when using a zebra crossing, you have to give way to an oncoming tram. The tracks are surrounded by dunes in many places, meaning that visibility along the track might be reduced - trams can run bidirectionally, and are relatively quiet, so look out when you're near to the tracks. Be predictable for tram drivers and other road users, and keep an eye out for others that might be putting themselves or others in danger. Especially during the holiday season, the halts and boulevards can get crowded, in which case an accident can happen quickly. If you need to contact the '''line operator''' (De Lijn), you can do so via their [https://help.delijn.be/hc/en-us/requests/new online contact form], via [https://www.facebook.com/delijn Facebook] or [https://twitter.com/delijn Twitter] (@delijn), or by dialing {{phone|+32 070 220 200}} ({{EUR|0.30}} per minute).

The 67-km-long route (42-mi) sees some 16.5 million passengers per year travel on the line. ===History=== The modern-day tramline was formed from several lines of the Belgian Local Tramways (Dutch: ''Nationale Maatschappij van Buurtspoorwegen'' or ''NMVB'' for short), with the first construction of lines taking place around 1885, connecting [[Ostend]] and [[Nieuwpoort|Nieuwpoort-Dorp]]. The NMBS operated many other lines branching off of what is now the Kusttram, most of which have since disappeared. The line was, and to this day largely is single-tracked, with trams running left-handed like Belgian trains do to this day. Electrification on parts of the lines started in 1909. That winter, services were continued year-round, whereas services used to be suspended during the winter. During the [[First World War]], the tramline was severed by the front around Nieuwpoort. The line was put to use for goods transport towards the trenches on either side of the frontline. During 1919, the normal passenger services were reinstated. The modern-day route of the tramline formed in the late 1920s, as connections to De Panne were made and electrified. The line since runs almost parallel to the coast, only dipping inland to connect to Nieuwpoort. Plans to bypass Nieuwpoort were made, but never materialised. The [[Second World War]] saw the Belgian coast become a part of the [[Atlantikwall]], which put in place many limitations to passenger transport. Citizens along the coast needed special permission to be allowed to travel inland. In 1940, before Nazi German occupation, the line was already set to be dismantled, though the outbreak of the war stopped any plans from materialising. During Nazi German occupation, electrification was removed between Ostend and Middelkerke, followed by a later ban on all services along the coast. After liberation in September 1944, the coastal route was quickly rebuilt and put back into service by the middle of December. Despite arguments being made to demolish the line to be replaced by buses, the NMVB politely declined, but did close some of the branch lines as time progressed. From 1956 onward, the line operated in two sections, line 1 (Knokke - Ostend) and line 2 (De Panne - Ostend). Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, a clear movement for demolition of the tramway existed, though the NMVB never gave in to these, arguing that during summer, some 900 people needed transportation with the service every half hour in Ostend alone. Alternatives were proposed in the form of an underground railway or elevated railway line. Both were deemed far too expensive and never materialised. In 1991, the line came under operation by De Lijn (Dutch for ''The Line''), which operates most public transit excluding trains in most of [[Flanders]]. New tracks and new rolling stock made the trams faster and more frequent, leading to services with a tram up to every 7½ minutes on some parts of the route. Since the summer of 2001, demand became so high that a 10-minute service along the entire route was put in place. The last extension to the tramline happened in 1998, when the train station in Adinkerke (named ''De Panne'') was connected to the network. ===Pricing=== {| class=wikitable mw-collapsible align=right |+Day-pass pricing !Type !!Children (age 5 or younger) !!Children (ages 6 - 11) !!

Officially named ''LRV'' or ''Light Rail Véhicule'', these trams are more often nicknamed '''BN's''' after the company that produced it, ''La Brugeoise et Nivelles''. The coastal versions (Series 6000) are single-directional vehicles, whereas the Charleroi versions (Series 6100) are bidirectional. Additionally, the coastal stock can run 10 kph faster, having a top speed of {{convert|75|kph|mph}}. The Charleroi stock did start out running along the coast, as coast-bound stock was not yet completed in 1980. Since 1982 though, the Series 6000 operates along the coast, replacing the previous long trams with three pulled trailers, leading to a higher frequency of operation. The Series 6000 started out as {{convert|21|m|ft}} long trams, but since modernisation into a second generation, they come in at a length of {{convert|31.2|m|ft}}. The second generation also saw the top speed raised to {{convert|85|kph|mph}}. Due to several accidents and collisions over time, 44 trams of the Series 6000 remain in 2020. The second generation of Series 6000 can transport some 310 passengers, 73 of which are seated, 237 of which are standing. The middle of its three wagons has a lower floor for wheelchair access. ====Bombardier-Siemens HermeLijn==== The '''HermeLijn''' stock consist of trams taken in from the [[Ghent]] tramways, with two units being in operation on the coastal tramline during summers as to support a higher frequency of operation. Its name is a play on the Dutch name of a stoat, as its livery faintly reminds of the mammal. The L is capitalised to emphasise the name of the operator: ''De Lijn''. The HermeLijn can transport up to 192 people, 58 of which can be seated. The trams, produced between 1999 and 2012, can reach top speeds of up to {{convert|70|kph|mph}} and have a low floor, allowing for wheelchair access. ====CAF Urbos 100 / Zeelijner==== The '''Urbos 100''', nicknamed the ''Zeelijner'' (''Sea liner'') is being put into service to replace the Series 6000. The 48 to 146 units are being put into service since April 2021. They have a capacity of 187, 54 of which are seated, and another 20 are fold-down seats. ====Historical stock==== [[File:Tramparade 1 type S en zomerrijtuigen.jpg|thumb|One of the many trams preserved by TTO, pulling two open summer carriages during a parade in celebration of 125 years of tramways along the coast, pictured near Middelkerke.]] The '''TTO Noordzee''' has ten historical motor coaches that have once operated along the coast or elsewhere in Europe. TTO is based in the tram depot in De Panne, from where they operate "historical services" between De Panne Loskaai and Adinkerke Station. The journey takes some 40 minutes, and departs every Saturday, Sunday and bank holiday of July and August at 13:30, 14:30, 15:30 and 16:30, if a tram operator is available. The journey costs {{EUR|4}}, and children up to the age of six travel for free. Other special running days for historical running stock are on "Open Monumentendag" (second Sunday of September), and a Christmas service from the 26th to the 30th of December. The depot in De Panne can always be visited free. TTO's stock can also be [https://promottonoordzee.wixsite.com/mysite/contacteer-ons rented] for special occasions. ==Prepare== The trip goes through built-up areas with shops, restaurants and other services so you don't need to make any big preparations. Just make sure you have a valid ticket and dress according to the weather (perhaps bring an umbrella). A towel and swimwear can be good to bring if you want to go to the beaches. When travelling with a bike, the tram driver may deny you access if there are already too many bikes on the tram or the tram is too crowded. You must buy a bicycle pass ({{EUR|2}} for 60 min) in addition to your personal ticket to bring a bike onto a tram. If you are travelling with dogs, you may take them on the tram for free, provided that you can keep them leashed or on your lap. It's recommended to travel lightly packed, though if you have no other way, stow your luggage away somewhere where it doesn't block a seat, for example on your lap, between your legs or somewhere else where it will not hinder other travellers. It is also not allowed to eat while travelling on the tram, as to keep the vehicles clean. ===Accessibility=== While the trams are either partially or entirely low-floored, allowing for wheelchair access, not all platforms are at that same height. As of 2019, the wheelchair-<u>in</u>accessible halts are: Knokke Station; Duinbergen Watertoren; Zeebrugge Vaart and Strandwijk; Oostende Marie-Joséplein; Middelkere Casino; Oostduinkerke Bad; Koksijde Bad; De Panne Golfstraat, Centrum, Kerk and Moeder Lambic. Mobility scooters are ''not'' allowed on board a tram. ==Get in== ===By plane=== [[Ostend]] has an airport, Ostend-Bruges International Airport {{IATA|OST}}, but it mostly sees goods traffic. A much more sensible option would be to fly to [[Brussels#By plane|Brussels Zaventem-Airport]] and taking a car or train from there. ===By train=== [[File:De Panne Station 01.JPG|thumb|Arguably the easiest train-tram transfer can be made in Knokke, with trams stopping within a stone's throw of the trains.]] <!--I omitted naming peak hour (P) and L-services unless that is the only service stopping at the station--> Below is an overview of ''all'' connections to the Belgian rail network.

From the central railway and bus station (''Dunkerque Gare''), take route C1 or C2 to the end of the line (''Leffrinckouke Fort des Dunes''). These operate on a combined 7-minute headway, with a journey time of about 15 min. From Leffrinckouke, route 20 leaves every 30 min throughout the day bound for ''Adinkerque Gare'' (actually De Panne tram and train station), with a journey time of just over 30 min. ===By boat=== Passenger '''ferries''' from the [[United Kingdom]] to Belgium ceased operations in 2021. The only remaining route is a roll on-roll off freight connection from [[Teesport]] to Zeebrugge operated by P&O, which can be used when travelling using a small freight vehicle such as a van. When travelling by camper, double check whether it's allowed on board. For all other vehicles from the UK, consider ferries from [[Harwich (England)|Harwich]] to the [[Hook of Holland]], or from [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]]/[[Newcastle upon Tyne]] to [[Rotterdam]] instead. When on foot, those connect well to the metro (the Hook's harbour is within metres of a metro station). From there, head to ''Rotterdam Centraal'' railway station, take a long-distance train to either Antwerp or Brussels, from where you can get an intercity train to most of the train stations along the coast. Alternatively, you can use the very regular and fast ferry connections from [[Dover (England)|Dover]] to [[Dunkirk]] or [[Calais]] in France instead. The Dunkirk service is only for vehicles, so independent foot passengers should use the Calais route instead, pick up a train from ''Calais-Ville'' to ''Dunkerque'' stations, and then follow the directions in ''From France'' above. If you own a boat yourself and wish to sail to the Belgian coast, '''marinas''' can be found in Zeebrugge, Blankenberge, Ostend and Nieuwpoort. ==Knokke — Blankenberge== {{Mapshape|type=geoline|wikidata=Q1510414|stroke=#ff2d23|stroke-width=2|title=Kusttram (line 0)}} {{Mapframe|51.328|3.209|zoom=12|width=600|name=Map of the easternmost, Knokke to Blankenberge stretch.}} === In Knokke-Heist === {{see also|Knokke-Heist}} Starting just north of Knokke's railway station, the eastern terminus of the Kusttram can be found opposite the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3418 |long=3.2863 |name=Sint-Margarethakerk |image="Onbevlekt Hart van Maria en H.Margareta", parochiekerk van Knokke, Pastoor Opdedrinckplein, Knokke (Knokke-Heist).JPG}}. The church isn't that old, but the shorter tower you're looking at while waiting for the tram to depart is, dating back to 1642. The church sustained heavy damage during the Second World War, and a new church was built between 1955 and 1958, which incorporated the former main tower. Running between houses, the tramway eventually meets up with the ''Elizabetlaan'' near the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3420 |long=3.2682 |name=Duinbergen water tower |image=Watertoren, Arcadelaan, Duinbergen (Knokke-Heist).jpg}} and Park 58, a small nature reserve hardly {{convert|10|ha|sqmi}} large. Shortly after, the halt of ''Duinbergen'' is reached, which stands outside the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3403 |long=3.2607 |name=Heilige Familiekerk |image=Heilige-Familiekerk, Elizabetlaan 300, 8300 Knokke-Heist.jpg}}, another recent church dating from 1939. The modern gothic church features some art deco elements. Duinbergen itself, meanwhile, dates largely from the early 20th century, being shaped after the creative vision of German architect and urban designer Hermann-Josef Stübben. The concession for development of Duinbergen as a whole was given out in 1901, and within seven years, some eighty villas were already constructed. The many villas in Duinbergen give this area a charming view, though tourism introduced a desire for large apartments along the coast, which replaced many of the villas there. Entering into ''Heist'', the tram next stops at the entrance of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3411 |long=3.2520 |name=Directeur-Generaal Willemspark |image=Directeur Willemspark 2021 04.jpg}}. This park formed from a dune ridge, and between both World Wars housed two batteries, constructed by the German Empire, and demolished by the Nazis. Between the wars, these batteries were a museum of sorts, with admission fees funding veterans' welfare. After the war, the dune landscape was reconstructed and the park was created. The paths in the park are named for political prisoners from Heist that didn't see the end of the Second World War, the only exceptions being the ''Keunepitpad'' (rabbit hole path) and ''Bunkerpad'' (bunker path). The park was rejuvenated in 2015, and borders the seashore. In the ''town centre of Heist'', the tramway inches closer towards the coast, with two broad squares providing views across the sea. These are the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3410 |long=3.2402 |name=Heldenplein |image=Standbeeld voor slachtoffers v- Eerste wereldoorlog.jpg}}, featuring a statue commemorating those fallen during the First World War, and the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3406 |long=3.2349 |name=Vissershuldeplein |image=Vissershuldeplein 2021 01.jpg}}, meaning ''Fishermen-homage-square''. It's quite unsurprising that the statue here pays homage to local fishermen. Just east of the Heldenplein you can also find the picturesque {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.34113 |long=3.24246 |name=Visserskapel |image=Visserskapel 2021 00.jpg}}, a small neo-gothic chapel for fishermen, built in 1854. The chapel was taken down in 1868 as the sea came closer and closer to damaging the original chapel. It was reconstructed in 1927 when a smaller chapel with a statue of the Holy Theresia got added as well, which can be found just behind the chapel itself. === In Zeebrugge === [[File:Zeebrugge West-Hinder R03.jpg|thumb|The marina of Zeebrugge, which is littered with maritime items, like these two beacons and the ''West-Hinder II'' in the background.]] [[File:Zeebrugge St George's Day-wandeling R01.jpg|thumb|The Saint-George's Day-Wandeling in Zeebrugge.]] {{see also|Zeebrugge}} Leaving Heist, we first pass the short and stubby {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.33950 |long=3.22738 |name=Low-light of Heist |image=Heist Klein Licht R02.jpg}}, a small lighthouse to the west of Heist which together with the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3376 |long=3.2304 |name=High-light of Heist |image=Heist Vuurtoren R01.jpg}} made an orientation point for ships out at sea. The next halt along the route is ''Zeebrugge Zeesluis'', which serves the eastern side of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3340 |long=3.2172 |name=Pierre Vandamme Lock |image=Zeebrugge Pierre Vandammesluis R02.jpg}}, the largest lock of the Zeebrugge port, measuring in at a length of {{convert|500|m|ft}}, a width of {{convert|57|m|ft}} and a depth of {{convert|18.5|m|ft}}. Should you find the massive bridges linking both banks to be open, fear not, for the tram will make a short detour via the other end of the locks. The first stop in ''Zeebrugge'' proper is ''Zeebrugge Kerk'', named for the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.33174 |long=3.20738 |name=Sint-Donatuskerk |image=Sint-Donatuskerk (Zeebrugge) 25-06-2019 16-34-21.jpg}} beside the halt, named for Donatius of Reims, a 4th-century French bishop and patron saint of [[Bruges]]. The church was completed in 1911, burned down towards the end of the First World War and was rebuilt by 1920. It again sustained major damage during the next World War, and was rebuilt once more in 1951. The hall church is neogothic with a front-facing tower with an eight-sided upper body. The churchyard to the side of the church is not the resting place of any locals, as one would expect, but instead is where the remains of 175 German (three of whom unidentified) and 30 British soldiers (17 of whom unidentified) who lost their lives in the First World War. 44 of the German casualties were due to a tram accident in September 1915; another 40 were crew members of two torpedo boats that were sunk during a sea battle off the coast of Zeebrugge. To the north of Zeebrugge Kerk lies {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.3330 |long=3.2018 |zoom=17 |name=Seafront |url=https://www.seafront.be/ |image=}}, a theme park focussing on fishery and maritime history, which attracts some 50,000 visitors annually. One of the most prominent sights here is the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3344 |long=3.2082 |zoom=17 |name=West-Hinder II |image=Zeebrugge West-Hinder R06.jpg}}, a 1950s boat which warned passing ships of sandbanks, and searched for off-shore plane- and shipwrecks. Some of the vessel's duties have since been taken over by buoys, so it has been lifted out of the water and placed at the head of the marina as a memorial. Seafont also has a small museum. Next, the tram crosses the disused railway 202, a branch line that once served the harbour of Zeebrugge. It then crosses the '''Visartsluis''' either via the (northern) {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3287 |long=3.1979 |name=Visartbrug|image=Zeebrugge Visartbrug R02.jpg}} or the (southern) monumental {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3269 |long=3.1984 |name=Straussbrug |image=Zeebrugge Straussbrug R01.jpg}}, where the tram briefly runs alongside the aforementioned railway 202, which connects to Zeebrugge-Dorp train station shortly after. The station itself can be reached at the next halt, ''Zeebrugge Vaart''. This halt serves the ''Stationswijk'', which, despite being rich in monumental listings, is not the most picturesque of destinations. The next stop has some more sights. '''Zeebrugge Strandwijk''' serves the part of Zeebrugge that borders the beach. Aside from a visit to {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.3311 |long=3.1765 |name=Zeebrugge Beach |image=Zeebrugge Beach R02.jpg}}, there are some buildings here that might be worth seeing, most notably the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3296 |long=3.1826 |name=Palace Hotel |image=Zeebrugge Palace R03.jpg}}, a monumental hotel overlooking the beach. Additionally, you can walk out onto the pier following the ''Saint-George's Day-Wandeling'', which is full of remembrance plaques for the Zeebrugge Raid, a British attack on the port of Zeebrugge on the night of the 23rd and morning of the 24th of April 1918. The harbour was the launching point of German U-boats, and the intended goal of the attack was to blockade the harbour and prevent U-boats from reaching the North Sea. The then-barrier dam which was contested during the battle can still be traced up to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3476 |long=3.2030 |name=Old Mole and lighthouse |image=Zeebrugge Old Mole R01.jpg}}. Leaving Zeebrugge-Standwijk, the tramway continues to follow the '''Kustlaan'''. Between Zeebrugge and Blankenberge, the route squeezes through a nature buffer consisting of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3190 |long=3.1624 |name=Zeebos |image=Blankenberge-Zeebrugge Cycling Trail R02.jpg}} and {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3229 |long=3.1552 |name=De Fonteintjes |image=Zeebrugge Fonteintjes R03.jpg}}. The latter is home to many tender and rare orchids. === In Blankenberge === [[File:The line (2636263071).jpg|thumb|The Blankenberge seafront as seen from the pier.]] {{see also|Blankenberge}} Entering Blankenberge, the first halt is '''Blankenberge Sea Life''', which unsurprisingly is home to the aquarium of the same name, as well as a local pool: * {{see | name=Sea Life Blankenberge | alt= | url=https://www.visitsealife.com/blankenberge/ | email= | address=Koning Albert-I-laan 116, Blankenberge | lat=51.31796 | long=3.14551 | directions= | phone=+31 32 5042 4300 | tollfree= | hours=10:00 - 16:00 | price= | wikidata=Q26490563 | image=Sea Life Blankenberge 6-04-2022 13-42-25.jpg | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content= }} * {{do | name=Farys Noordzeebad | alt= | url=https://www.blankenberge.be/farys-noordzeebad | email= | address=A. van Ackersquare 1, Blankenberge | lat=51.31818 | long=3.14427 | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours=M W-Sa 09:00 - 19:00, Tu 10:00 - 19:00; Su 09:00 - 00:00 | price= | wikidata= | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content= }} The next halt, '''Blankenberge Pier''' is named for the 350-m-long (1,150 ft) {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.3214 |long=3.1364 |name=Blankenberge Pier |image=Pier Blankenberge R02.jpg}}. It was the first of its kind on the European mainland's Atlantic coast, with the only other one being located in [[Scheveningen]], the Netherlands. The first pier, a cast iron art-nouveau structure, was built in 1894, but was burned down by the German occupiers 20 years later, during the First World War. After the war, the pier was rebuilt after only the skeleton structure survived the fire. In 1933, the new and current pier was opened. On the beach by the pier, you will also find {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.31832 |long=3.13535 |name=De Lustige Velodroom |image=Velodroom Blankenberge - panoramio.jpg}}, a 1933 attraction continued to this day. It consists of a small velodrome, on which you can ride some 70 different special bikes. You're able to either try your best, or look how others aren't any better at controlling the bikes! After Blankenberge Pier, the train station is the next halt. The tram stops on the '''Koning Leopold III-plein''', from where you can head north into the ''Kerkstraat'', where you will find the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.31520 |long=3.12902 |name=Former city hall of Blankenberge |image=Blankenberge Oud Stadhuis 2012.JPG}}. This small and quaint 1680 town hall is just one of many delightful historical buildings in Blankenberge's city centre. Following the Kerkstraat towards the sea, you'll run into other staples of Blankenberge, such as the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.31625 |long=3.12968 |name=Casino Blankenburge |image=Casino Blankenberge.jpg}}, the sea-facing façade of which is covered in upscaled baby statues. Other interesting attractions in Blankenberge include: * {{see | name=Belle Epoquecentrum | alt= | url=https://www.belleepoquecentrum.be/ | email= | address=Elisabethstraat 24, Blankenberge | lat=51.31552 | long=3.13199 | directions= | phone=+31 50 636 640 | tollfree= | hours=Tu-Su 14:00 - 17:00 | price= | wikidata= | image=Interieur Belle Epoque Centrum Blankenberge.jpg | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content=A museum on life during the Belle Époque (roughly 1870 to 1914), which is when many Belgian coastal cities saw their boom, electrification picked up, and man started conquering the skies with planes and Zeppelins. }} * {{see | name=Huisje van Majutte | alt= | url=https://www.majutte.be/ | email= | address=Breydelstraat 10 | lat= | long= | directions= | phone= | tollfree= | hours=W–Su: 11:00–18:00 | price= | image=Blankenberge-HuisjeVanMajutte.jpg | wikidata=Q18982233 | lastedit=2022-08-02 | content=Once one of some sixty-odd similar houses, ''Majutte's Little House'' is one of the two surviving 18th-century fisherman's cottages in the Breydelstraat. }} Departing from the train station, '''Blankenberge Markt''' is the next stop. This stop, as well as the next one, serves the marina. From this halt, you can go on foot towards the seafront where you will find the art-deco {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.31258 |long=3.11443 |zoom=18 |name=Lighthouse of Blankenberge |image=Blankenberge Lighthouse R05.jpg}}, built in 1956. On the way there, you will most likely make your way along the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.31335 |long=3.12139 |zoom=18 |name=Paravang |image=Blankenberge Paravent R02.jpg}}, a neo-gothic wind screen dating from 1908. It lies between the marina and the ''Leopoldpark''. The last halt within Blankenberge is '''Blankenberge Maritieme Zone''', which mostly serves residential buildings to the south, as well as part of the marina. ==Blankenberge — Bredene== {{Mapframe|51.268|3.024|zoom=12|width=600|name=Map of the section between Blankenberge and the Bruges-Ostend Canal.}} {{Panorama|image=Blankenberge Panorama R01.jpg|width=800px|caption=View towards Blankenberge from one of the panorama viewpoints in Harendijke.}} === Around Wenduine === Leaving Blankenberge, we find ourselves in Harendijke, which contains more vacation homes than it does normal houses. Serving these is the halt ''Wenduine Harendijke'', which also serves two panorama viewpoints. Wenduine itself is quite sparse in sights, even though the area has been inhabited continuously since the 8th century. Its function as a sea-side resort it has had since 1886. Construction of villas started two years later, and a hotel followed in 1895. From 1902 to 1924, the town was being urbanised, which saw the addition of a traffic boulevard to the north, which the tram follows today. In Wenduine, you can get off the tram at '''Wenduine Manitoba''', '''Wenduine Centrum''' for the city centre and the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2999 |long=3.0758 |name=Spioenkop |image=Spioenkop, Wenduine - panoramio.jpg}}, Belgium's second-highest coastal dune, and at '''Wenduine Molen''' for the small {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.29687 |long=3.07663 |name=Hubertmolen |image=Wenduine - Hubertmolen 1.jpg}}, dating back to 1880. Making our way out of Wenduine, you might be able to see the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.29404 |long=3.07080 |zoom=18 |name=Water tower of Wenduine |image=De Haan Drift Watertoren.JPG}} between the trees. The route of the tram at this point is surrounded on both sides by the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.2862 |long=3.0548 |name=Duinbossen |url=https://www.natuurenbos.be/duinbossen-de-haan |image=De Haan duinen R02.jpg}}, Duinbos Wenduine and Vlissegem to be precise, which lend itself particularly well to hiking and other sports. For this, you can leave the tram at the halts of '''Wenduine Konijnenpad''', '''De Haan Zwarte Kiezel''' and '''De Haan Waterkasteellaan'''. === In De Haan === [[File:Historischer Straßenbahnbahnhof in De Haan (Belgien).jpg|thumb|The 1902 tram station of De Haan, with on the track-facing façade its Dutch name (''De Haan aan Zee''), and on the chimney its French name (''Coq sur Mer''). In the foreground a forbidden-access sign in front.]] {{see also|De Haan}} Simply by passing through De Haan, you get to see one of its most notable buildings. The {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.27265 |long=3.03290 |name=Main tram station of De Haan |image=De Haan Tram Station R01.jpg}} might no longer be in use by the tramways themselves, the tram does stop outside of the former station building at '''De Haan Aan Zee'''. The station building, dating from 1902, is a staple of De Haan by virtue of being a good representative of the many picturesque villas in De Haan. Around the tram station, which now serves as a tourist information point, you will find several historical tramway-related objects, such as bilingual signs between the tracks, stating "''Verboden op den spoorweg te gaan''" / "''Défense de circuler sur la voie''" (English: ''Forbidden to walk onto the tracks''). The town itself lays claim to multiple hundred monuments, many of which villas, shops and hotels that too are built in picturesque style, an art deco style with timber framing elements and other 'rural' influences. You will see plenty of these when walking northwest towards the beach, as whichever route you take, it will lead you past many imposing and undoubtedly expensive villas and villa apartments. === Vosseslag and Bredene === [[File:Bredene strand - panoramio.jpg|thumb|Bredene beach with ''Battery E690'' in the top-right.]] After De Haan's main tram station, '''De Haan Preventoruium''' follows, where, in the dunes leading towards the beach, you can bump into several disused military bunkers. Next is '''De Haan Vosseslag''', which is the access point to the {{Marker|type=do |lat=51.2648 |long=3.0085 |name=Kijkuit |image=}}, the third and final of the ''Duinbossen'' around De Haan en Wenduine. Also at this halt, you will find the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.2648 |long=3.0032 |name=Royal Ostend Golf Club |image=}}, one of Belgium's oldest golf courses and the only actual links course on the Belgian coast. It was directly financed by Leopold II in 1888, as to lure more British tourists to De Haan. Walking towards the beach here, you will cross the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.26551 |long=3.00156 |name=Lighthouse annex Panoramic tower |image=}}. The '''Bredene Renbaan''', as its name implies, was once home to a hippodrome (Dutch: ''Renbaan''). What remains now, is a delightful {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.25569 |long=2.98290 |name=Art Deco shelter |image=Bredene KoninklijkeBaan z.nr. ID54428 - 159221 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}. Taking a walk towards the beach here, will lead you through several hundred metres of dunes. Turning right on the beach leads you to a dedicated [[Nudism|nude beach]]. If nudity is something you shy away from, then you might want to avert your eyes at '''Bredene aan Zee''', for the halt has a prime view of a statue named {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.24820 |long=2.96205|name=De Uitdaging |image=Kunst Duinenplein Bredene (7419698148).jpg}} (''The Temptation''), nicknamed "''Blote Betsy''" (Naked Betsy). Before that halt though, lies '''Bredene Campings''', which mostly serves the campsites in Bredene, as one may guess from the name. It also has the shortest walking distance to the beach though, so if you'd like to shave several metres off of your journey by foot, disembark by the campsites. Just west of the path from '''Bredene aan Zee''' to the beach, lies {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.24893 |long=2.95881 |name=Battery E690 |image=Bredene Koninklijke Baan zonder nummer - 159220 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}, which thankfully has been disarmed of its {{convert|28|cm|inch}} diameter guns, among other firepower the likes of FlaK anti-air guns. This bunker is one of the more prominent war remnants around De Haan, and overlooks the beach, reminding of its original purpose of defending against hostile (Allied) beach landings. Now approaching Ostend, the halt '''Oostende Duin & Zee''' gives access to {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2390 |long=2.9344 |name=Fort Napoleon |url=https://www.fort-napoleon.be/en |image=Fort Napoleon R02.jpg}} and the dozen of smaller batteries littered throughout the dunes. The polygonal fort built in 1811 during the War of the Fifth Coalition. It was subsequently abandoned when by 1814 a British attack had not come, and [[Napoleon]] was on the way out. During the First World War, the German Empire reused the fort, and equipped it with heavy armoured gun batteries. During the Second World War, the fort functioned as a Nazi German artillery headquarters. It became a museum after the way, fell into disuse again, and after five years of restoration, was reopened to the public in 2000. Seeing its many users over time, the fort contains interesting remnants of Napoleonic-era France, the German Empire and to a lesser extent, Nazi Germany. Most notable are the multiple Imperial German murals. Nearby you will also find multiple bunkers like a {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2352 |long=2.9281 |name=Mortar bunker with ammunitions depot |image=Oostende Mortierbunker R01.jpg}}. Also around this halt, you will find {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.23634 |long=2.93050 |name="''Tall Nelly''" |image=Lange Nelle R07.jpg}} ([[Dutch]]: ''Lange Nelle''), nickname of Ostend's slender white-blue lighthouse. Near the bunker, on the south end of the '''Visserijsluis''' (the lock next to the mortar bunker), is the eastern stop of the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.2340 |long=2.9240 |name=Overzetboot |url=https://www.visitoostende.be/en/ferry |image=Het Rode Vierkant op de Zee R10.jpg}}, a free ferry connecting directly to Ostend's city centre. The ferry can transfer fifty people and twenty bikes per trip, and is completely free to use. It drops you off in the middle of Ostend's city centre, making this a nice detour should you want to visit the city centre. Before entering the heart of Ostend, a single halt remains: '''Oostende Weg Naar Vismijn''', which lies at the mouth of the {{Marker| type=do | lat=51.2278 | long=2.9528 |name= Ostend spuikom |image=Oostende Spuikom R01.jpg}}, a water basin in harbours, intended to fill up at high tide to empty again at low tide as to counteract the low tide itself, with the added benefit of washing out sediments in the harbour entrance. The {{convert|80|ha|sqmi}}-large spuikom was constructed in the 20th century, in order to replace four smaller ones already in use. When first tested in 1912, the flow of the new spuikom proved to be so violent that it would quickly eat away at the quays downstream. The infrastructure that made the basin function was destroyed at the end of the First World War, and in 1926 the decision was made to not rebuild this infrastructure. For several decades now, the body of water has been used for water sport. == Ostend == {{Mapframe|51.2311|2.9166|zoom=14|name=The tramline through Ostend.}} [[File:Bredene - Handzame Classic, 18 maart 2016, vertrek (C19).JPG|thumb|Crossing the Demeysluis.]] {{see also|Oostende}} As we cross the canal into Ostend, the first landmark we encounter is the building of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22461 |long=2.94067 |name=Royal Yacht Club d'Ostende (RYCO) |image=Oostende Dokert Edouard Moreauxlaan 2 - 26410 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}. The current clubhouse was inaugurated in 1906, while the harbour was undergoing major reorganisation efforts. The tram continues though the middle of the harbour, with industrial buildings left and right, and occasionally a hidden bunker. When crossing the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2253 |long=2.9313 |name=Demeysluis |image=}}, the tracks again go across either end of the lock, as to be able to continue service regardless of traffic entering or leaving the lock. Regardless of which bridge the tram uses, you will have crossed a nice rotary bridge regardless. Immediately after which, you find yourself on top of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2257 |long=2.9299 |name=De Smet de Naeyer bridges |image=Tettenbrug oostende,.jpg}}, locally dubbed the ''Tettenbrug'', Flemish for ''Bridge of faces'', thanks to the many busts and statues used to decorate the 1903-1905 set of bridges. Until 2002, the bridges were still used for traffic accessing Ostend, but as this traffic proved too much of a strain on the city centre, the tram is the only traffic using the bridge aside from traffic with a local destination. After a good look across the railway tracks leading into '''Ostend station''', we arrive at the halt of the same name, where there is an easy transfer onto the [[#By train|train network]]. Continuing into Ostend's city centre, we first cross paths with {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22652 |long=2.92269 |name=De Mast |image=Oostende - De Mast 1.jpg}}, the second-tallest building in [[West-Flanders]], measuring in at {{convert|87|m|ft}}. The number one spot is taken by the Europacentrum, also in Ostend. The marina on the right, meanwhile, is home to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22698 |long=2.92014 |name=Museum ship Mercator |image=Schoolschip Mercator 56814.jpg}}. It is a possible contender for Belgium's most famous ship, pulling in several thousand visitors each year. The Mercator, built in 1933, is the last Belgian Training ship, being decommissioned in 1960. It was preceded in that task by four other boats, two of which met their end at sea. Two of the five ships (one of which sank within two years of being built) were named after Paul de Smet de Naeyer, the same De Smet de Naeyer that the bridges across the railway were named for. His name was in his day highly celebrated in Ostend due to major investments into maritime endeavours during his time as minister of Finance and Public Works in the early 20th century. After the intersection with the Vindictivelaan, the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22743 |long=2.91686 |name=Ostend Courthouse |image=Het gerechtshof - 375710 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}} stands to the left, followed by the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22858 |long=2.91395 |name=Leopoldpark |image=Le parc et son étang (Léopoldpark-Ostend) (4619075828).jpg}}, which lies surrounded by streets named for Belgian [[Royal families|royalty]]. The park itself contains many beautiful features and novelty items like a floral clock. Opposite the park, and also somewhat clashing against it, is the rather brutalist {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22992 |long=2.91589 |name=Former Post Office of Ostend |image=Mathilde et le bureau des postes (4905004702).jpg}}, now in use as a cultural centre. Rather more quaint of a building can be found a block deeper into the city: The {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.23063 |long=2.91717 |name=Spaans Huisje |image=Spaans.huisje.jpg}} (''Little Spanish House'') is the oldest surviving building of Ostend, dating from 1741 - before Belgium existed, but ironically also after modern-day Belgium stopped being a part of the [[Spanish Empire]], it being Austrian turf at that time. Based out of the house is a city tour guide organisation. From the next halt, '''Oostende Marie-Joséplein''', it's a small walk to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2319 |long=2.9119 |name=Casino-Kursaal |image=Oostende Casino R02.jpg}}, a Kursaal<!--Is there an English term for Kursaal or Kurhaus?--> of about a {{convert|1|ha|sqft}}, making it the largest [[Gambling|casino]] of Europe. The current Kursaal is the third in Ostend, the first being relocated and replaced for one on the seafront, the second being torn down during the Second World War for coastal defences, and the third starting construction directly following the liberation of Belgium. Aside from a casino, it also several halls for conferences and performances, as well as a restaurant. From the Kursaal, the tram continues past some imposing buildings the likes of the 1898 eclectic corner house {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22974 |long=2.91260 |name=La Paloma |image=Palomafront.JPG}} and the Belle Époque {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22918 |long=2.90845 |name=Villa Maritza |image=Oostend Villa Maritza on Albert-1 Promenade A.jpg}}, built in 1885 and with ornate golden highlights in its façade. The lavish luxury (and price) of which makes it no surprise that the operative of the casino once called this his home. [[File:Königliche Galerien am Sandstrand der Albert I. Promenade in Ostende (Oostende Belgien) 2020-09.jpg|thumb|Ostend Beach with to the right the Royal Galleries.]] '''Oostende Koninginnelaan''' is the original beach promenade of Ostend. The tram stops next to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22709 |long=2.90624 |name=Japanese Garden |image=Japanse Tuin Oostende 2007.jpg}}, a part of the '''Royal Villa''' that stands behind it. Passing through the '''Drie Gapers''', the gate shielding from some of the wind coming from sea, you walk right by the contested {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22721 |long=2.90457 |name=Statue of Leopold |image=Reiterdenkmal Leopold II. von Belgien in Ostende (Oostende Belgien), 09-2020-1.jpg}}. The cruelties in the [[Congo-Kinshasa|Congo Free State]] during Leopold II's reign make the statue as contested as it is. Due to repeated graffiti vandalism, the statue has no original patina left, and at one point the hand of one of the "Thankful Congolese" in the far left of the scene has been hacked off, to serve as a reminder of Leopold II's actions. The anarchist group responsible has stated that the hand shall return once the Royal Family of Belgium apologises for the inhumanities committed by Leopold, which as of 2022 has not yet happened. From the gate, two ''Gaanderijen'', long galleries along the beach. To the right are the Royal Galleries, to the left the Venetian Galleries, the latter of which is connected to the luxurious {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.22585 |long=2.90239 |name=Thermae Palace Hotel |image=56980 Thermae Palace.jpg}}. Inside the galleries are art installations and small museums. At the end of the Venetian Galleries, the {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.22318 |long=2.90070 |zoom=18 |name=Wellington Hippodrome |image=Renbaan(07).jpg}}, which has nine running days throughout July and August. For the rest of the year, a '''Golf course''' is also accessible from the halt '''Oostende Renbaan'''. After '''Oostende Northlaan''', the tram continues into Mariakerke, which isn't quite noteworthy in comparison to Ostend. Between its two halts, Mariakerke Bad and Oostende Ravelingen, you will find {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2151 |long=2.8762 |name=Pleasure Island |url=https://www.pleasure-island.org/index |image=}}, a small art expo along the beach. The last building of Mariakerke will be the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.2114 |long=2.8719 |name=Duinenkerkje |image=Duinenkerkje02.jpg}}, Mariakerke's old church and the only remaining bit of the old Mariakerke, that had to make way for the Nazi German Atlantikwall. It's directly after the church that two dug-in batteries of the Atlantikwall hide in the undergrowth on the land-side. ==Raversijde — Nieuwpoort-Stad== {{Mapframe|51.177|2.831|zoom=12|width=600|height=500|name=Map of the section between Oostende and Nieuwpoort-Stad.}} ===Raversijde=== Following the beach promenade and the sea dike, we pass Raversijde and '''Ostend-Bruges International Airport''', after which we find the '''Raversijde Domein Raversijde''' halt, named for the provincial domain Raversijde. It was opened in 1988 and is still being developed further. It stems from the former Royal Domain of Leopold II, who had a Norse chalet built here, which disappeared during the First World War. During the Second, it was used for construction of the Atlantikwall, and was given to Charles VI, the last Count of Flanders after his regency, and he subsequently settled in the domain. In 1981, he sold the domain to the state, which then opened it to the public seven years later. The domain, as of 2022 contains: * {{see | name=Openluchtmuseum Atlantikwall | alt=Atlantikwall Open Air Museum | url=https://www.raversyde.be/en/atlantikwall-raversyde | email= | address= Duinenstraat 147 , Oostende | lat=51.20065 | long=2.84716 | directions= | phone=+32 5970 2285 | tollfree= | hours=10:30-18:00 | price=€8 | wikidata=Q892947 | lastedit=2022-08-05 | content=An open air museum focussing on the Nazi mega-project that was the Atlantikwall, a large coastal defence system of bunkers stretching from southern France to northern Norway, as to defend against a British invasion.

Just west of today's Raversijde once laid Walraversijde, a small town. Modern-day Walraversijde is a group of four reconstructed Early Mediaeval fishermen's houses, as well as several long-term [[Archaeological sites|archaeological dig sites]]. }} ===Middelkerke-Bad=== Middelkerke-Bad is perhaps one of the nicer smaller sea-side towns, along the route. It has three halts on the tram route, '''Middelkerke De Greefplein''' to the east, '''Middelkerke Casino''' in the middle of the town, and '''Middelkerke Verhaeghelaan''' to the west. At De Greefplein, you'll find {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.18889 |long=2.81778 |name=De Oude Post |image=Paul de Smet de Naeyerstraat 36 Middelkerke.jpg}}, a tourist information point, but also a small museum. The second halt, '''Casino''', may or may not have a different name depending on when you're visiting, as the casino it is named for no longer stands today and is being replaced by a new building. Until completion of the new casino, there is little more its place than a ferris wheel, which admittedly gives great views of both the sea- and land-side. Possibly more interesting is the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.18734 |long=2.81376 |name=Zeedijk Comic statues |image=Statue of Jerom from Suske en Wiske on Zeedijk, Middelkerke (DSCF9898).jpg}}, seventeen statues of some of Belgium's most famous comic book figures, placed along the length of the Zeedijk. Along the beachfront itself are a plethora of restaurants, but also more uncommon businesses like an arcade (Reflex-21). The last halt, '''Verhaeghelaan''' is the closest to the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.18370 |long=2.80680 |name=Saint Theresia Chapel |image=Leopoldlaan z.nr. kapel - 13873 - onroerenderfgoed.jpg}}, but also gives access to the north side of the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.1780 |long=2.7960 |name=Warandeduinen |image=}}, a nature reserve of {{convert|32|ha|sqmi}}. Near to it, though possibly a bit of a hike away, lies {{Marker|type=do|lat=51.1780 |long=2.8022 |zoom=17 |name=Kegel X-treme |url=https://www.bowlingdekegel.be/ |image=}}, which is a venue for bowling, karting, an escape room, lasertag, a VR-area and more. The far end of Middelkerke is where you'll find '''Middelkerke Krokodiel''', which connects mostly to vacation homes and campsites, but also the {{Marker|type=see|lat=51.1763 |long=2.7926 |name=Warandetoren |image=Warandetoren Middelkerke.jpg}}, a viewing tower overlooking the aforementioned Warandeduinen, as well as Middelkerke and Westende. ===Westende and Lombardsijde=== ===Nieuwpoort=== ==Nieuwpoort-Bad — De Panne== {{Mapframe|51.108|2.674|zoom=12|width=600|name=Map of westernmost, Nieuwpoort to Adinkerke (De Panne) stretch.}} ===Groenedijk=== ===Oostduijnkerke-Bad=== ===Koksijde=== ===Sint-Idesbald=== ===De Panne=== ===Adinkerke=== ==Stay safe== {{See also|Belgium#Stay safe}} In Belgium, trams have priority over every other road user, including cyclists and pedestrians. Even when using a zebra crossing, you have to give way to an oncoming tram. The tracks are surrounded by dunes in many places, meaning that visibility along the track might be reduced - trams can run bidirectionally, and are relatively quiet, so look out when you're near to the tracks. Be predictable for tram drivers and other road users, and keep an eye out for others that might be putting themselves or others in danger. Especially during the holiday season, the halts and boulevards can get crowded, in which case an accident can happen quickly. If you need to contact the '''line operator''' (De Lijn), you can do so via their [https://help.delijn.be/hc/en-us/requests/new online contact form], via [https://www.facebook.com/delijn Facebook] or [https://twitter.com/delijn Twitter] (@delijn), or by dialing {{phone|+32 070 220 200}} ({{EUR|0.30}} per minute). The '''emergency number''' (for police, paramedic and fire) in all of Belgium is 112 ==Go next== ===In the southern end=== The French border is a few kilometres from De Panne and Adinkerke. The closest larger place in France is [[Dunkirk]], a place that has seen many wars throughout history. ===In the northern end=== The Dutch border is less than 10 km from Knokke, and the closest town is [[Sluis]]. ===Other=== [[Bruges]] is a possible sidetrip. {{outlineitinerary}} {{PartOfItinerary|Europe itineraries}} q9kb3ywftqd3jfvxu3z98lg4f3nuunq 0 194253 4495742 2022-08-05T14:54:25Z Sbb1413 2217354 Sbb1413 moved page [[Birbhum-Murshidabad]] to [[Central Bengal]] wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Central Bengal]] 56g9sdwwzyg5c6i541dtfto91bx2j5k 1 194254 4495744 2022-08-05T14:54:25Z Sbb1413 2217354 Sbb1413 moved page [[Talk:Birbhum-Murshidabad]] to [[Talk:Central Bengal]] wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Talk:Central Bengal]] 6ys9reh0t3nygxopwtd72n8goc98aue 14 194255 4495750 2022-08-05T14:58:44Z Sbb1413 2217354 Sbb1413 moved page [[Category:Birbhum-Murshidabad]] to [[Category:Central Bengal]] wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[:Category:Central Bengal]] lmbu94rlerc0dyg1j8bbgagg6oj6fdk 3 194256 4495821 2022-08-05T18:12:42Z Ibaman 195012 Created page with "{{subst:wikipedian}} ~~~~" wikitext text/x-wiki Hello Alstein Einbert!
