About StayByCity

StayByCity is a travel guide for people who want to spend their time in a city well. We pick the destinations that reward a visit, and we write about each one with care.

How we work

The shortlist is data-driven. We score cities from open data — GeoNames, OurAirports, and Wikidata — weighing the density of things worth seeing far more heavily than raw population, so that compact, rich cities aren't buried under sprawling ones.

The guides are human-edited. Data decides who makes the list; a person decides what to say. Every guide is reviewed by an editor before it goes out — the data is the starting point, never the last word.
