Wikivoyage:Travel forum Voyage Tips and guide

I plan travel to Tórshavn in Faroe Islands for a conference in late May 2026. I will have some flexibility to stay a few days afterwards to sightsee. I have a few questions for those who've been there:

1. How many days should I stay behind?
2. What are the recommended places to visit?
3. Is it easy to get around by public transit? Or is rental car necessary to get to most sights?
4. Is is better to find accommodation in Tórshavn for the entire stay or find accommodations closer to the sights?

I guess nobody here's been to Faroe Islands? OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 16:12, 10 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if this was the case, unironically. (both given its isolation and also because how few people live there) //shb (t | c | m) 18:31, 10 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

I noted that some people find travel partners and make their travel plan before travelling. Do you guys do this? If you answer yes, how do you find your potential travel partner? How do you plan your travel with your partner? If you answer no, how do you overcome disadvantages of travelling alone?

For finding partners: I am totally unfamiliar with finding travel partners - how to build trust between you two? How to ensure your partners are reliable? And how do you plan? They always say communication is key, but how?

For not finding partners: I think personal safety and moments of loneliness can be overcome by oneself, but I can't imagine how to overcome some issues such as costs and activities - hotels won't give you cheaper prices just because you travel alone, and some restaurants require at least two people to visit their restaurant (that is, they don't allow one person). I can't imagine how solo travellers overcome these. Saimmx (talk) 18:28, 19 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Where have you found restaurants that refused to let you enter as a solo diner? I'm 60 years old, and I can't recall that ever happening to me. As a solo diner, I have often told the host I was happy to eat at the bar in restaurants that had bars, but my experience is that the only times I have been turned away are when they were completely full. I guess if there is a long line waiting to get in, it's possible a restaurant might turn away solo diners, but I think it's very unusual.

My travel partners have been people I knew before the great majority of the time, especially my girlfriend for the last 17 years, but I did meet 3 people by chance in a Hong Kong student travel agency during a trip I took right after I graduated from college, and we decided to take a boat to Shanghai together right after we met each other and then traveled to Hangzhou together before I decided to travel to Suzhou, Wuxi and Beijing by myself. I also spent a day traveling around Paris with a fellow hotel guest, but that was maybe more of a date.

I did lots of solo travel in Italy and France in between study programs when I was in my 20s, and I had a lot of fun. I also was a solo traveler in different American cities at various times in my life. As a solo traveler, you do everything you want, according to your own schedule, and you get to tell other people about it later. But you're not really alone, unless you're in the deep forest or something, where you probably shouldn't go alone for safety reasons. There are always other people to talk to and interesting experiences to be had if you're open to them.

Expense is a real issue. When I was a lot younger, I went to youth hostels and similar places. Some were great, some were awful, and I got annoying things like my umbrella and Swiss Army knife stolen at a couple of them (an otherwise great youth hostel on Hong Kong Island and a students' hotel in Beijing). Nowadays, I would normally get one of the cheaper decently-rated AirBnBs or something from a similar website or stay at an Accor (Quality Inn, etc.), Super 8 or America's Best Value hotel/motel if I couldn't find a reasonably priced independent hotel and wasn't able to stay with friends, but some cities are very expensive to stay in: for example, I live in New York and don't have to deal with the extreme accommodation prices here. But an advantage of solo travel is that you don't have to cater to the creature comfort of anyone else, so you can stay wherever you can tolerate. I feel like I really traveled too hard my first time abroad by myself (that first trip to China), and I do have a bit more need for creature comfort today, though I don't need anything beyond a reasonably clean room with an acceptable bed, shower and enough room to put my bags down, but location is also important, especially when you need to depend on public transportation.

I'm not sure what your life situation is, but for that trip to Hong Kong and China, I mentioned to my roommate that I wanted to take that trip, and he had a friend who also planned to fly to Hong Kong and hook up with her boyfriend, who was teaching English in China, so we arranged to fly out together, hung out somewhat in Hong Kong for 5 days, and then went our separate ways. We were originally supposed to fly back together after 2 1/2 months, I think, but I cut my trip short and flew back after 5 weeks. But anyway, if you're going to school somewhere, you can let people know where you're planning to travel and see whether anyone is interested. But if not, I'd say don't hesitate to go on your own unless it's to a really remote area where there are no people. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:06, 19 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your reply, I will carefully read later. But I will answer your question in quick, "Where have you found restaurants that refused to let you enter as a solo diner?"

My answer is many, although not everywhere. They should not do this, but still: "Solo-unfriendly Michelin restaurants in Taipei" (who refuse solo diner), a netizen complained a hot pot restaurant charges additional fee for solo diner (while other restaurants refuse), a restaurant in Korea expelled a solo traveller who wanted to enjoy meal. An blog article even explains why they did this.

I don't know if no offer reservations for one in New York is the case. Saimmx (talk) 02:58, 20 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

OK, that sucks, but still, I really doubt you'll have trouble finding places to eat well. I never did as a solo diner in New York, D.C., Chicago, San Diego, etc., or Paris, Nice, Siena, Florence, Naples, Rome, Budapest, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, Kota Bharu, Ipoh... Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:09, 20 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

I think it helped that I seldom went anyplace where I needed reservations as a solo diner. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:32, 20 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

"Remote area where there are no people" are perfectly fine solo, we have a great 1600 km trail near were I live in Canada and people hike it solo fairly frequently.

Hi there, my answer is hostels. Stay in hostels and you will meet heaps of people! Discuss travel plans, share experiences, and you will very likely find someone to travel with! I don't know anything about you or your situation, so staying in hostels is not perfect for everyone, but it worked for me! Read reviews and choose a hostel with a communal feeling. It doesn't have to be a "party hostel" which is just code for a hostel with a nightclub which means it is loud and you will have a hard time sleeping! Sgroey (talk) 21:59, 19 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

I don't know how applicable this is to most people (not that I've looked much into it – I'm ace so have very little actual desire for one, not that I find solo travel to be boring either :)), but I have a close friend who met his travel partner through a Contiki tour. They went on for a few trips together before other things started to happen (and he no longer does regular backpacker travel anymore). //shb (t | c | m) 07:11, 20 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Firstly, I felt sorry for your Contiki friend. Maybe there were something hard to them.

Second, solo travel may not an issue in loneliness/boring context for you, but I wonder how you deal with enonomic issues - like I said, hotels won't give you cheaper prices just because you travel alone. Some plans are cheaper when travellers share. It isn't about personal preference, but about money. Saimmx (talk) 07:39, 20 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Oh don't worry too much about my Contiki friend: it's more so he decided to leave full-time backpacking and do an undergrad degree here – that's how we became friends. :)

As for money, most of the time I end up just copping the losses. It's definitely not ideal for sure, especially since almost every hotel/motel will have double or queen beds as a starter. //shb (t | c | m) 07:59, 20 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Japanese hotels charge per person generally. So two people costs twice as much. In Japan people very often eat alone and most restaurants are set up for this. Travel Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:16, 18 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Doc James:

Most of it would be obvious, but what general advice is applicable to specifc major conditions that don't have their own article?

(We already mention Mental Health, and High Blood Pressure in their own articles).

Some issues not coved in Travellers_with_disabilities, for example:

• Access keys - Many Disabled toilets in the UK for example, need a specfic access key RADAR(?), which has to be obtained in advance. This isn't discrimination, it's supposedly to prevent misuse of disabled facilities.

• Ability to dispose of 'contaminated' waste. (Travellers_with_disabilities doesn't cover this. I am thinking in terms of sanitary pad and adult diaper disposal mostly, as these can't be "flushed". And in my experience even some non-disabled facilities have provided per cubicle waste bins for contaminated 'toilet tissue'. ( This is again apparently to prevent misuse or overload of the plumbing!.. )

However, some medical conditions or disabiities involve the use of injected medication, (and thus the disposal of 'sharps' would be a concern.)..

ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 11:42, 25 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Mental illnesses can also be an issue. Living in China I was twice one of the people trying to deal with a situation where someone with a known condition -- one paranoid schizophrenic & one bipolar -- who had been treated & stable back home took a job abroad & fell apart under the new stresses. In one case, part of the problem was that the Chinese doctors insisted on replacing the lithium treatment she'd been on for decades with some more modern drug. For all I know they were right, but she did not make it through the transition. Pashley (talk) 12:33, 25 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Over here, you are advised to go to a pharmacy with most medical waste, including needles and leftover medicines. If there is one reasonably close (which will be the case in any city where you aren't in a hurry), you just have to have some method of packing them securely (a hard plastic bottle for the needles). Keep the needles separate from other waste; also mercury, iodine and some medicines (e.g. cytostatica) should be packed separately, the latter in original packaging. LPfi (talk) 12:47, 25 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Some medications are not allowed in certain countries such as the UAE, regardless of if you have been prescribed them back home. Some medications require temperature controls which can be hard to manage in certain locations. Travel Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:35, 25 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

The former, I think, is quite well covered in Medicine and mentioned in several other articles, but the latter is not. Thanks for reminding on it. There might be a mention in Hot weather and Cold weather, but of course it should be handled in Medicine. Do you have any good advice, for people who won't have access to a refrigerator or other means for controlling temperature? How sensitive are medicines that should be kept in "room temperature" for around freezing or above 25 °C (77 °F)? That varies, of course, but are there any rules of thumb? –LPfi (talk) 14:49, 26 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

I have a friend who bought a special fridge for travelling with decent battery back up and was chargeable in her car. Options would include seeing if another medication for the same purpose is more stable at various temperatures. Travel Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:19, 18 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

A useful general rule of thumb is to assume that “room temperature” medicines are usually tested to tolerate short excursions outside 15–25 °C, but repeated or prolonged exposure to heat above ~30 °C or freezing temperatures can degrade many of them, sometimes without obvious visual changes.

For travelers without refrigeration, practical advice could include using insulated pouches, minimizing exposure time (for example not leaving meds in parked cars), and asking a pharmacist in advance about stability data for their specific medication.

It’s also worth emphasizing pre-travel consultation, as doctors or pharmacists can sometimes suggest alternative formulations that are more temperature-stable or provide manufacturer guidance on acceptable temperature excursions. Ryan wellss (talk) 17:58, 18 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

I'm finding various conflicting information regarding this, but to my knowledge, you can use contactless payment on the MRT and ARL (Airport Line), but you need a Rabbit card to use the BTX. However, can you use a Rabbit card on the MRT or ARL, or are payments considered completely separate? //shb (t | c | m) 03:30, 8 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

Rabbit card is only for BTX. There is no single card that covers all mass transports like MRT, BTX and ARL. Rangan Datta Wiki (talk) 02:57, 14 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Haha yeah I had to learn this the hard way and ended up just avoiding BTX altogether. ARL was amazing now that it takes Apple Pay, though I wish this feature was also rolled out onto the MRT. //shb (t | c | m) 03:20, 14 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

My last visit in Bangkok was in 2022. I got a complimentary Rabbit card from my hotel and used BTX extensively. For MRT I got tickets from the counter. Since, I traveled via DMK there was no need of ARL Rangan Datta Wiki (talk) 17:02, 14 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Planning a trip to Guadalajara would be my first time traveling solo as well as staying at a hostel any advice for first time travelers hope this is just the first of many ~2025-41538-37 (talk) 17:59, 19 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure how much of this applies to Mexico, but have a look at Travel in developing countries.

When you look at the Guadalajara article you'll see a "breadcrumb trail" list at the top: Mexico > Pacific Coast (Mexico) > Jalisco > Guadalajara. You should look at some of the articles on that trail because, for example, we put info that applies to the whole country in the Mexico article & do not repeat it in lower level articles.

Have a good trip. Pashley (talk) 19:55, 19 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

I hope you enjoy your trip. I have a few tips that might be usefulː

- Put Google Translate on your phone. Most people you'll encounter won't speak any English, so be prepared.

- Americana is one of the best neighborhoods to stay in in Guadalajara. It's safe, trendy, has some great restaurants, hotels, and nightlife and is a short ride to the Centro Historico.

- Check your credit cards for the most "international friendly". Is there one that doesn't tack on international transaction fees or currency conversion fees? Got one that gives you free international ATM usage?

- ALWAYS decline "dynamic currency conversion" (both at ATMs and when charging purchases to a credit card). This is a "service" that banks offer, showing you a currency conversion rate that is ALWAYS worse (sometimes much worse) than your bank will charge. Be aware of this scam and "just say no".

- Use Uber to get around. You won't have to negotiate with a taxi driver and Uber fares are DIRT CHEAP in Mexico (honestly, I don't know how an Uber driver can make any money in Mexico---my Uber fares in Mexico are about 1/8th what they are in the U.S.

- Eat "high on the hog". Gourmet restaurants are a bargain in Mexico and Guadalajara has an abundance of seriously great restaurants (including some Michelin star and Bib Gourmand restaurants). A mind-blowingly great meal at a 5-star restaurant can cost 1/4 what you'd pay for an equivalent dining experience in New York or any other major city. Splurge when it's not such a big splurge.

- As they say in Quebec, "Je ne souviens" (Bring me souvenirsǃ) Check out the Mexican artesanias, traditional cultural folk crafts. Guadalajara has great selections of many types of ceramics, sculptures, artworks, clothing, and toys. Some of the best shops are in Tlaqapaque.

- If you plan to do a trip to Tequila, book train tickets early (they do sell out) Mrkstvns (talk) 20:39, 19 December 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Terrigonnering: Nice, I’m in Paris right now, beautiful city to see for sure, and definitely worth visiting at least once.

Hi there,

I'm about to set off on a bit of trip. Planning on mostly winging it but I'm scoping out a couple of possibilities. The plan is to fly into Buenos Aires in a couple of weeks, and make my way through Bolivia, and Peru, and finish up in Colombia by the end of May. I'm wondering when/where I should aim to be to partake in some Carnival festivities?

I see Oruro, Bolivia, is pretty well known for it, and happening this year from 24th Feb - 5th Mar. Is it worth trying to get there for the whole 10 days? It looks like Montevideo, Uruguay, gets pretty serious about it too, starting towards the end of Jan. Could pop across the border to check it out but I can't find information on if there's specific days that would be best. Barranquilla, Colombia, is another place I've found that puts on a show, but I won't make it up there for that. Complexmoth (talk) 20:06, 6 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

I've heard that Ecuador has excellent carnivals, too.

Not in mainland South America, but Trinidad's carnival in February 2026 (held annually in February/March) is considered one of the biggest in the world. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 20:08, 6 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

You're right. Considering how big and wild some of the Carnival celebrations can be, and how widespread the event is, I would have expected more depth in our article and quite a few more destinations. Considering the original poster is in southern South America, he may well be positioned such that he could enjoy Carnival in Rio de Janiero, but if it were me, I would probably be more interested in finding a smaller town that incorporates unique local traditions. Mrkstvns (talk) 16:26, 11 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Yep, i was fairly surprised at how little info is in there - that's why i brought myself to these forums!

I struggled to find much information as someone who knew nothing other than Rio's celebrations. I presume I'll stumble across some festivities in small towns, but would be a bit of a bummer if i arrived in this (hypothetical) town a day late. Complexmoth (talk) 01:38, 15 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Ah! For high-tech workplaces in the Nordic countries, it is common to have people from all over the world. Some companies even have English as their official working language. I don't know how one gets along without English proficiency, but if one is good and one has countrymen in one's team, who can handle the communication, I assume that one could still be accommodated at some companies. You should of course check with your to-be employer.

For basic living, you'd survive very well without Swedish: public transport, grocery stores, restaurants and most other institutions should be able to service in English, and no advanced language is required for most of them.

Then there is the social aspect. For a multicultural workplace, after-work sessions may have English as the main language, but in context where most people are Swedish, they will probably revert to Swedish as the night passes. For your leisure, you will probably want to also find groups of people who speak your language, although English will suffice in shorter interaction with Swedes, and for long evenings with acquaintances as long as you are the host or the guest, not one among many most of whom speak Swedish.

It is something that Finnish and Swedish companies do when they go international (or want to make an impression of being international). English speakers may do it out of laziness or ignorance and one can be frustrated by that, but us doing it ourselves concerns me.

I think it is related to the interest of foreign languages other than English having been in decline in Finland since the early 2000s ("everybody speaks English anyway").

The positive thing is that the trend shows some signs of changing; perhaps more people have realised that to understand a culture, you need to study the language.

I am thinking of travelling from Helsinki to Lund and back in late April. The way I intend to travel is to take a ship from Helsinki to Stockholm and then a train from Stockholm to Lund.

In the past, I have been easily able to walk all the way from Viking Line -terminalen in Södermalm to the Stockholm Central railway station in Norrmalm in under half an hour, going through a corridor called "Gula gången" to get through Slussen which otherwise has heavy car traffic.

But it has been a decade since I last did that in Stockholm and thus I am not sure if it's possible any more, or the construction in Slussen has changed all of that. Does Gula gången even exist any more?

The last time I went from Stockholm to Lund was with my girlfriend, who doesn't like walking such long distances, so we took a bus to the railway station.

@~2026-63484-7: I think ultimately whether you think it is worth it or not is really up to you, but from what I've heard, going in a tour group is somewhat a must for Egypt – and I think paying more to join the tour group before leaving for Egypt would also save you some stress at immigration.

@~2026-63484-7: It is not easy to answer your question. I cannot say anything about the quality of the company you mentioned. But I know: 8 days is only a short time to visit Egypt. You should specify your goals: what you want to see, which level you need. Maybe it would helpful to look for companies who are really specialized in this field. The tourist groups should be small (maybe not more then ten travelers) and the guide should be experienced and able to explain all in your native language. --RolandUnger (talk) 16:42, 7 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

@~2026-77409-4: Thailand is also nice at that time of year, and it should be dry season then too. Argentina and southern Australia have beaches but Dec/Jan might be too hot (up to your taste, ofc), keeping in mind it's rainy season in the South Pacific. //shb (t | c | m) 22:25, 4 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

IDK about every year, but Southern California's beaches have been pretty warm this week! I went to Seal Beach on Groundhog Day! Purplebackpack89 03:12, 5 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
