places to go

It's great to get out and about - either for a vacation or just a day out. Finding your way there, your way around while you're there and somewhere to stay can sometimes be a task. Here's a collection of tools to make a leisurely time away just that. This isn't just a standard collection of commercial links, this is a list of genuinely useful tools and "off the beaten path" websites that will give you an edge while you're travelling.

Find your way round by road
Don't get caught by speed cameras while you're driving
Better still, walk to where you need to be
Or take public transport throughout the UK

Need to know some cool places to visit while you're there?
And to find out who else is there

If you're in London, take in some shopping
And check out the amazing hidden underground history, too

When you need to have first-hand advice on the best places to stay
And where in the UK is available to stay
Particularly if you're running on a late booking

If you're going abroad, check it out first
And convert your currency while you're there
