Passport validity
The article states that passports need to be valid for 6 months past the end of your departure. The Government of Canada Travel website says it must be valid for one month (http://travel.gc.ca/destinations/cuba)

I added this information to the article, but I'm not sure if it's valid for anyone or just Canadians. 192.0.129.41 01:28, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Banner
Possible replacement (maybe too stereotypical, but I think Che is the same). Jjtkk (talk) 15:59, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Jjtkk, I like your suggested banner. It doesn't seem like any one else here has an opinion on it so lets update it!? --Justvagabonding (talk) 17:38, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Getting rid of intermediate region level articles
The three intermediate region level articles (Central Cuba, Western Cuba, Eastern Cuba) are almost completely empty and useless, and will likely remain so for the forseeable future. Therefore, I propose following the example set with Germany, Poland, etc., getting rid of that hierarchical level altogether, leaving them only as visual divisions on the region section and map and linking directly to the provinces themselves from the country article. What say we? Texugo (talk) 14:15, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Good idea. Pashley (talk) 01:51, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

 * I agree Texugo (talk). Doesn't seem like anyone here has any objections so go for it! --Justvagabonding (talk) 17:42, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

It seems that this was never done. I have proposed merging the provincial articles up to Eastern Cuba. I think the same should be done for Western Cuba. Ground Zero (talk) 02:58, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Should be done to all Cuban regions in my opinion. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 02:59, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * For Central Cuba, we have 12 city and other destination articles, which is where we would start talking about splitting it, but they are divided between 5 provincial articles, which is ridiculous. I can see merging that region, too. Ground Zero (talk) 03:08, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I have made merger proposals for Western Cuba and Centeal Cuba along the same lines. Ground Zero (talk) 18:37, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Major updates to getting around, money and internet
Hi all. After my recent trip to Cuba I have made some updates to 'Getting around', 'Money' and 'Internet'. These sections had many duplications and contradictions and information was often incorrect or misleading. I have listed all the changes below which I feel will not be controversial. It would be great if anyone hear could read through the changes and report back here if they think I have made a mistake.

'Getting around'
 * Added general introduction about buses in Cuba
 * Created subheadings to differentiate between Viazul, Astro and local buses
 * Added a picture of a Viazul bus
 * Added a general tip for finding a Viazul ticket offices are
 * Included info of how you can wait for a late cancellation if the bus is full and there are no share taxis
 * Changed the wording for foreigners ability to catch Astro buses. I appreciate that it may be possible, but previous wording indicated that it is easy. In my experience with basic Spanish I had no luck and either did the people I spoke to. I hope the new wording reaches a middle ground between indicating it is possible only for some.
 * For the share taxi section, this needed a major clean up as there were duplications and contradictions that I guess have accumulated over time.
 * I added more info on catching a share taxi like a local by just arriving at the bus station. Then I detailed information on how to reserve taxis with tourist info desks
 * Added a picture of a typical truck that will pick you up when hitchhiking to make sure future travellers know what they are getting into. They are good fun however!

'Money'
 * After having a fairly horrible experience of using the previous money section in Cuba and almost having to go straight back to Mexico because of no access to cash, I have spent quite a bit of time cleaning this up and adding more accurate info. This includes:
 * Adding a new subtitle 'dual currency system' and making it clearer what each currency can be used for
 * Major clean up of exchanging money. Previous links were broken, Aus dollar is no longer exchanged and added info about credit/debit card facilities at exchange houses
 * Emphasized that MasterCard (non U.S. issued) is not a great card for Cuba as ATMs don't accept it and credit card terminals don't like it compared to Visa
 * I spilt ATMs and credit cards into two sections. They are now 'ATMs' and 'Purchasing with a credit/debit card'. The previous wording had me believe that MasterCards were accepted at ATMs when in fact what they were trying to say was that MasterCards will work sometimes for paying for a restaurant meal! Caused me a fair bit of issues on my travels!

'Internet' --Justvagabonding (talk) 16:38, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Added 3 sub headings, finding WiFi, buying scratch cards, and connecting to the WiFi to make it clearer and easier to understand. Moved previous relevant under appropriate heading
 * Added a picture of Cubans accessing the internet outside a hotel to give travellers a feel for what to expect
 * Added info on the 3 ways to purchase a card i.e. at Government communication centre, hotels or off street venders.
 * Added some trouble shooting advice if the log in screen does not automatically appear

Suggestion to move train and plane schedules to separate pages
Hi all, can I suggest that we make two new separate pages that can be used to house train and aeroplane schedules/routes. While these are useful for the traveller, they make the Cuba page really long and it looks a bit weird. What do others think? --Justvagabonding (talk) 16:44, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * There previously was an article on Viazul or rather bus travel in Cuba which had rather detailed schedules. It was deleted with the argument that we cannot possibly provide up to date schedules. Given the near impossibility of internet access in Cuba (or so I've heard), we might reconsider "just linking to the primary source"... Hobbitschuster (talk) 21:35, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks Hobbitschuster. I agree, unless someone is willing to volunteer to update this let's just link to the source. The best website for trains looks to be Cuba-Individual, the same website as Viazul. What do you say, we delete this list and refer travellers to http://www.cuba-individual.com/e_horario.htm#train ? --Justvagabonding (talk) 17:28, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * It is two and a half years later now so the discussion has probably stalled or whatever, but just for the record I was suggesting the opposite of linking to an external website for people to get their schedules from given that WV is (should be) usable offline and Cuba has issues with virtually non-existing internet.

2021 currency reform
The CUC is being eliminated on 1 Jan 2021. The CUP is being fixed at 24 CUP = US$1, a change from the current 26.50 CUC = US$1. We don't know how things priced in CUC will be repriced, but inflation is expected. I suggest that we not multiply CUC prices by 24, but rather replace "50 CUC" by "the equivalent of US$50". Comments? Ground Zero (talk) 15:21, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

 * I assume that you meant CUP - US$ but it was never 26.50. BeardoCuba (talk) 05:39, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Matanzas (province)
Matanzas (province) appears on the maps of both Western Cuba and Central Cuba, and is breadcrumbed from Western Cuba. I have removed it from Central Cuba. Ground Zero (talk) 10:38, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Visa-free Antarctica
Supposedly, residents of Antarctica can visit Cuba visa-free for an unspecified period, according to a map just added to the article by User:Numberguy6. I think this has to be an error. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:43, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I was initially making those maps without Antarctica, but I was told that it looked weird and that I should include Antarctica. I colored it gray for "no data", since none of the other colors are gray. --Numberguy6 (talk) 19:54, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * But the legend is showing gray as meaning "Visa-free - unspecified period". If you change that to "no data", it'll be OK. If we're talking about different shades of gray, they're not different enough to be clear. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:31, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I thought that they were different enough, but if you would like, you can edit the map on Wikimedia Commons with a different color for Antarctica. --Numberguy6 (talk) 22:10, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I know how to do that. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:23, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Then ask on the file talk page. --Numberguy6 (talk) 23:46, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I take it, you don't know how to change colors? I'm a very busy man. I've literally spent all day (counting some breaks) since 8 A.M. grading lab reports, I still have 3 more to grade and I also have to create a lab report for tomorrow and Thursday. Your help is appreciated. Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:55, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

The main map
The main map shows the provinces as they were up until 2010. La Habana province is now split between Artemisa and Mayabeque. How can we update that ? -- BeardoCuba (talk) 05:51, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Duplication with Lake District
I'd posit that "Lake District" is the more common English name for this area. --(WT-en) Evan 11:47, 13 Apr 2004 (EDT)

 * Lake District is in Cumbria (WT-en) Wojsyl 03:21, 5 Jan 2005 (EST)

 * Yeah. Not the same thing, but they overlap quite closely. As a tourist you tend to talk about visiting the lake district, but to have complete coverage with our geographical heirarchy, we need to have this 'Cumbria' page.
 * Trouble is there will be a lot of duplication between the two pages. In fact at the current time, this page is very sparse, and I'm thinking we could pretty much copy word-for-word the 'eat', 'drink', 'get-around' sections from Lake District. -- (WT-en) Harry Wood 06:43, 18 December 2006 (EST)

 * The overlap between the two articles is a far greater breach of policy than it would be to lump Cumbrian towns outside of the park into a Lake District article. We could make it clear in either the regions, other destinations, or understand section that the article is covering slightly more than just the park itself, to include the rest of Cumbria. Also, calling it "Lake District" is a bit more ambiguous than "Lake District National Park," which should allow us a little more leeway to make this fudge.

 * The other option would be to redirect Lake District to Cumbria, and mention here that the Lake District comprises the great majority of the region. I like this solution less, though, as the Lake District is a far more famous name in travel circles, and is obviously the main reason to visit this area of England.

 * Having the two duplicate articles, though, is just untenable, and we need to choose one or the other to bring this back in line with policy, and also just to better serve the traveller—having two articles basically covering the exact same geographical area is not helpful to the traveller. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 23:07, 17 July 2009 (EDT)
 * I would prefer that the separate Cumbria article is retained. The Lake District (880 sq.miles) is only part of Cumbria (2612 sq.miles). Out of the 18 towns in the Cumbria article, only 5 are in the Lake District National Park. Two of them are in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. If the Cumbria and Lake District National Park articles are merged there will 22 towns in total, so the region would then need to be split.

 * The administrative boundaries cut through the National Park, so my preferred option for the Wikivoyage regions would be:

 * West Cumbria The coastal strip, outside the National Park, from Barrow-in-Furness to Cockermouth. (6 towns in total)

 * Lake District National Park Unchanged with 11 towns.

 * East Cumbria The Eden Valley, Lune Valley, and the Cumbrian parts of Yorkshire Dales National Park and Pennines. (6 towns in total)
 * (WT-en) Chris1515 10:35, 10 October 2009 (EDT)
 * Since writing the above comments, I have been looking at the articles for other counties and National Parks. It seems that a county is the smallest region in Wikivoyage for continuous coverage (no gaps). There are several English counties with more than 9 cities/towns, but none of thee have been split in to smaller regions. It may be that the above plan to split Cumbria is not appropriate.
 * I have also noticed that in recent weeks the Lake District National Park article has been edited by Andyfarrell, moving a number of individual sleep/eat entries to the appropriate town articles.
 * My alternative suggestion would be to keep the Cumbria article and make the following changes to it.
 * Move individual sleep/eat entries to the appropriate town articles.
 * Add One-liner listings to the cities/towns. This will help put the towns in context within the different parts of the county.
 * Move the Talk entry in Lake District National Park to Cumbria.
 * Make some style improvements that have already been tagged.
 * The Lake District National Park and Eden Valley would remain as articles covering the main scenic features, and things to see and do in these areas, similar to other National Park articles.(WT-en) Chris1515 09:36, 7 November 2009 (EST)

 * I have had a good look at this and think that Chris1515 is very much on the right track with his latest post. Cumbria is a huge and important English county and must have its own article. The fact that part of Cumbria is widely known as the Lake District is really irrelevant. Chris's latest plan for the county will work I think. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 10:22, 7 November 2009 (EST)

 * Yes, please disregard my above comment—your proposal is compelling ;)  --(WT-en) Peter Talk 15:20, 7 November 2009 (EST)

 * I see you are getting on with this Chris. Good luck and drop a note here if anything needs further discussion. --(WT-en) Burmesedays 09:37, 10 November 2009 (EST)

Looks good, and makes sense. Are any mapmakers able to take a look at the Cumbria map and correct the misspelling of Windermere? (WT-en) Andyfarrell 12:55, 23 November 2009 (EST)

 * Done. There doesn't seem to really be an SVG version of the map available, so it was a bit of a hack job. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 15:10, 23 November 2009 (EST)

Bus tour
Sure, places associated with Beatrix Potter could be interesting, but do this site's tour listing guidelines allow for a bus tour instead of a self-tour of them by car or some other means to be listed? Due to this paragraph, I think not:

In practice this policy disallows listing most audio tours and guided tours since the substance of such tours can generally be fulfilled by an independent traveller, and the information provided on such tours should ideally be included in the appropriate Wikivoyage article.

It's been very standard for bus tours to be deleted. Any reason not to delete this one? Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:04, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

 * OK, so now it's a "mini coach" tour, but that changes exactly nothing about the listing vis-a-vis policy. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:00, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

 * I've gone ahead and deleted the listing, as I think the policy argument for deletion is very strong and it would be hard to imagine a good argument for the impossibility of a self-tour using a rented (hired, for Brits) or traveller-owned vehicle. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:02, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Duty Free Zone
Numerous web sites refer to a "harbor duty free zone", fenced-in, and offering products at wholesale and retail that are also tax free. Sales require proof buyer is visitor to island, and items are sent directly to departing ships or airport, not carried by buyer. Can anyone provide better details, e.g. on location, offerings?
 * "The Harbor Duty-Free Zone. This Free Zone is the largest in the Caribbean. It's patronized by retailers from throughout the region, who come to stock up on goods from all over the world. It's a distribution center for clothing, textiles, shoes, perfumes, pharmaceutical products and many other wholesale or retail sale goods with attractive duty-free prices. The Harbor Free Zone is a fenced-in area of 57 acres. The majority of companies established in the Harbor Free Zone are trading firms that distribute products from the United States, Europe and Asia to the Caribbean and Latin America. There is also tax-free shopping at the free zone. Goods purchased in the free zone must be shipped directly to your home or transferred to your ship or flight. You can pick them up when you arrive home." http://www.experiencecuracao.com/shopping/ (WT-en) TomNativenewYorker 15:54, 15 June 2009 (EDT)

Specific listings
Since there seems to be a city article only for Willemstad, perhaps we need to reconcile ourselves to some listings of specific hotels, et al., that are in other parts of the island, thereby creating a hybrid city/region article. I think that's messy, but do you have another suggestion? Should "the rest of the island", by some name, be made into a region article with listings, so the listings can be moved out of this higher-level region article? Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:28, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * This will continue to be a perennial problem with small islands such as Ascension and other isolated territories that have many of the characteristics of countries.
 * A hybrid article will not seem messy to our readers - only to a few editors here that are more concerned with formality and precedent than readability and useful exposition.
 * I recommend moving the sparse content of Willemstad here (over a re-direct) into a hybrid; we can always re-consider the decision in the future if we should ever be startled by a flood of separate articles about other settlements in Curaçao... --W. Frankemailtalk 11:41, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, maybe merging Willemstad with this article is the best solution, after which all the "move to city" templates would be removed. But I'd like to get comments from others before doing a merge. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:53, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Correct.
 * Policy at Geographical hierarchy still states "Our hierarchies work best with a moderate number of items at each level; a good target is around seven items, plus or minus two" and while I don't agree wholeheartedly with this (except when trying to resist the inexorable tendency for lists of cities to grow unwieldy in larger areas), I very much doubt whether we would ever have enough material to make more than one article besides Willemstad and that article would inevitably seem strained and artificial. --W. Frankemailtalk 07:52, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Proposal to merge and redirect Willemstad to Curaçao
As you can see above, a proposal was made to do this merge/redirect. The reasoning is that there is but one city article, so we are left with a messy situation in which some listings are moved to the one city article and others, for businesses (hotels, etc.) in every other part of the island, are left here, along with jarring "move to city" templates that make for bad reading. The Willemstad article has a nice pagebanner, but the content is not so lengthy that it would harm the Curaçao article if it were merged into it.

What do you think, everyone? Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:57, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

 * I'm fine with returning Willemstad's listings to the Curaçao article. However as the island seems to be 60-70 km from end to end I do think we should group the POIs in the sections using level 3 headings (how about Northwest, Central, Willemstad and Southeast?) for better overview and usability. ϒpsilon (talk) 15:40, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Just to make sure I understand: Your suggestion is to have all the listings in one article, but to group them in these subsections to help travelers, right? Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:13, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Yes, something like e.g. Mombasa and Montevideo. ϒpsilon (talk) 17:30, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Understood. I don't know Curaçao well (never been there), but anyone who wants to get the ball rolling with that kind of setup has my support. Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:50, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Great article, but some comments
This article is a great source of information, so many thanks to the anonymous user (users?) who have been adding content. The only concern I have is whether all of the establishments listed are actually in the park or else in the immediate vicinity -- when I lived in Cleveland the only Arabica coffeehouses were in Shaker Square and in University Circle, and some of the other establishments listed seem to be in downtown areas (Quaker Square, others). If a place really isn't in or immediately near the park, it should probably be moved to the appropriate city or region article. That said, if all of these places really are in the park then leave it as-is (perhaps add a note about the number of establishments in the park), and continue with the great work. -- (WT-en) Ryan 00:05, 7 Dec 2005 (EST)

Is there anywhere to rent bikes around this park? —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) 67.71.64.124 (talk • contribs)
 * Yes. I am most familiar with the near Cleveland section and Century Cycle in Penninsula rents bikes. I think there are several other places south of Akron which rent bikes, but call: for Canal Fulton, Towpath Bikes and for Massillon, Ernie's Bikes.

It is noteworthy that during the Summer, the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic RailRoad offers a discount on one-way tickets - take your bike (rented or owned) on-board at the Penninsula Station, and you can go North or South and get off along the way.(You can actually get on or off anywhere train stops) This RR is seasonal and if you're from out of town be SURE to check their schedule for days they are running. (Summer Weekends, mostly (their Fall Colors rides can be nice when the leaves are changing)). Runs From Rockside Rd (Cleveland) to North Akron station. Probably averages 15 mph, only a bit faster than I bike. Trail is almost flat, only a few hills - as you'd expect for something along a river towpath.216.96.78.59 12:00, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Map
Here's a pretty good map that shows the area of the park. -- (WT-en) Fastestdogever 12:35, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

Tow Path Trail claims are misleading
Here's the text: "Cuyahoga Valley Towpath. The Cuyahoga Valley National Park is located 8 miles south of Downtown Cleveland and stretches for miles down to Akron. The Towpath extends from Lake Erie in Downtown Cleveland through the southern suburbs past Akron, Canton, New Philadelphia and into rural Historic Zoar." First. The Northern Terminus of the Towpath is at Harvard Rd. well south of Lake Erie and "Downtown Cleveland". The claim that it extends from Lake Erie is false, although plans exist for it to be extended to the lake. (I will not get into what a "trail" is. It is true that you can follow roads from Harvard and end up at the lakefront. Its also true that you can follow an alternate route and get as far north as E48 and I-77, but it is just not true that the towpath extends to the Lake). Second: the towpath extends to Dover (or 2.4 miles due East of Dover) and NOT Zoar. I just biked it, so I can speak with confidence on this. Third, a trivial point, but it doesn't go "past Akron", it goes "through downtown Akron". I would also mention that an equistrian trail parallels the towpath for most (all possibly) of its length in the National Park. And also that the seasonal Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad has follows the Towpath throughout the park.216.96.78.59 12:30, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Cuzco

Hi,200.37.30.143. "Cuzco" is *no* mistake, just a different spelling. Both are usual.

Where not to stay?
I wonder how appropriate it would be to put down where not to stay. When I was in Cuzco, we booked a room at one place, but they played a shell game with us and put us up at the 'Eurohostal'; a cheaper place owned by the same guy. Of course, we were charged the higher rate. When we complained to the tourist police, the police said that the owner of those places had a history of pulling crap like that. --(WT-en) Bletch 20:36, 2 Mar 2005 (EST)

 * Hi! Check out Project:Avoid negative reviews, plus a general warning about checking rates against what you are actually getting would fit in the Sleep intro. (WT-en) Majnoona 18:57, 3 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Kudos
Also, just wanted to mention that this is a great looking guide! Nice work contributors! (WT-en) Majnoona 18:57, 3 Apr 2005 (EDT)

 * Agreed. Just a little editing work, and I could definitely see adding this to the list of Project:Destination of the Month candidates.  With the "planning ahead" feature for candidates, I could imagine Cuzco as a DotM in October (2006) or thereabouts. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 20:10, 3 Feb 2006 (EST)

 * Just added some more stuff and might add some more the next couple of days. It would be nice to have a South American DotM. The closest thing so far has been the Falklands. (WT-en) Ronald 21:11, 3 Feb 2006 (EST)

Cusco
"Cuzco" is how Cusco is often spelled on American and European maps, but the local spelling and the spelling throughout Peru is "Cusco". "Cusco" is the official spelling used by all government offices.
 * Hi, Please take a look at our Project:Article naming conventions. We use the most common English name herŃe on the English version, with redirects from other common names. Thanks!(WT-en) Majnoona 16:58, 26 April 2006 (EDT)
 * I strongly recommend to use Cusco, not Cuzco, because it's used by all government offices, road signals, and Cuzco isn't a common English version, Cuzco is a misspelling. Turbo8000 (talk) 22:25, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Please becarefull if you are thinking of passing yourself off as a "voluntourist" at a serious charity such as Bruce Peru there are other touristy NGOs there who would be glad to entertain you with some short term feel good project. Just a word of warning.

Guide status
The Cuzco article has improved a lot and this certainly should be acknowledged. I think, however, that some things are still missing to make it a real guide, especially concerning the Manual fo Style: Hence, I'm changing the status back to usable, and I'm also proposing Cuzco as Collaboration of the Week, because I think it has great potential to become destination of the month soon if we get more people to work on it. (WT-en) Ricardo (Rmx) 18:57, 26 April 2006 (EDT)
 * The listings are incomplete - no address and contact info
 * There is Get out stuff on the Get in section, Do and Work stuff under See, etc. Those need to be placed under the correct sections according to Project:Where you can stick it
 * There are 1st person pronouns ("I would recommend the Combis") scattered around
 * Although its not a strict requirement of the Guide status rating, there is no real Understand section. Considering the thousands of years of Cuzco history, no real guide would be called a guide without a good explanation of this city's past.
 * Agreed! Thanks... (WT-en) Majnoona 18:11, 27 April 2006 (EDT)

Image help!
I was going to put one of the pictures of Cuzco as a 400px wide framed image although I can't seem to get the right code in

I was using and for some reason it wouldnt do it at the size I had specified, it just blows up into the whole screen!! What am I doing wrong?! (WT-en) Tsandell 12:59, 25 May 2006 (EDT)

 * The trick is to use "thumb" instead of "frame". This tells the software that you want it shrunken to a "thumbnail" of the full-size image, so it will then pay attention to the size you specify. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 13:24, 25 May 2006 (EDT)

Boleto Turistico sidebar
This tourist pass is required for entrance to alot of attractions here and in other local places. I have put a sidebar for the info here and on these other pages, as this stops browsers having to come to Cuzco for information, which is what they currently have to do... I don't know what our policy is on sidebars - they were mentioned a while back but I haven't seen any since. (WT-en) Tsandell 13:29, 25 May 2006 (EDT)

Addresses?
Is anyone going to Cusco soon that would be able to get some addresses and phone numbers for the bars and hostels? This article has great potential.

I also edited the Understand section a bit, as it was a bit negative. I studied history there for a while, but if there is anyone that knows more about the history I think it would be a good addition. --(WT-en) Shiitaco 04:02, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

Beggars
Removed conflicting opinions on giving to beggars and replaced with a simple description of street beggars in Cuzco, and a link to the Begging article, which discusses pros and cons of giving hand-outs. If this approach is not acceptable, please revert.

--(WT-en) Shiitaco 14:52, 26 January 2009 (EST)

Get out section
I was going to put up photos of the three of the four archaeological sites at the beginning of this section. However I noted the declaration at the beginning of the section that it does not conform to the Manual of Style. I don't understand why. I looked at Project:Where you can stick it as well and the places would seem to be correctly placed here. I think it is important because these and other sites could have considerable appeal to visitors to Cuzco. Could somebody please explain what needs changing?
 * Hi David! The disclaimer box is just an information that the structure of the content of this section is not according to our guidelines. You can add your pictures but hopefully (sooner than later) some user with some knowledge of Cuzco restructures the content of this section. Feel free to plunge forward and make the article shine! (WT-en) jan 13:07, 27 April 2010 (EDT)

Tours and guides
I have moved the following listing here per our policies on tours and guides.

This listing needs some consensus that it is in the best interests of the traveller to have this service listed here and that it represents an activity/activities that a visitor is unlikely to be able to do on their own, or would not otherwise have access to unless he used this tour service. -- (WT-en) felix 14:22, 29 January 2012 (EST)

Name
Hi, everyone. I don't have any personal stake in how we spell the name of this city, but: (1) the standard is what spelling is used most in English, not in Spanish or Quechua; (2) any change in the spelling of the article's name needs to be accepted by a consensus and the article needs to be moved accordingly before the city's name is changed throughout the article. Unilaterally changing all the spellings here and/or in links from other articles is essentially a form of vandalism, though not so intended.

Having said all that, I notice that both Commons and Wikipedia are using Cusco for their spelling. So is there any important reason for Wikivoyage not to also change the spelling of this article to Cusco? Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:33, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I support in changing the article name to Cusco, because Peruvian road signals support that, and the Cusco habitants are more familiar with the S. Turbo8000 (talk) 18:54, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but that's the argument for using the local names for _everyplace_, which we do _not_ do. The standard isn't what name is used locally but what name is used most _in English_. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:46, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Actually, Spanish Wikipedia says.... 'Cuzco' https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuzco
 * It seems English Wikipedia had an argument about this w:Talk:Cusco --Andrewssi2 (talk) 21:22, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia shouldn't be treated as primary source. Turbo8000 (talk) 22:23, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Agreed that Wikipedia isn't the only source, but it is a very important one.
 * If an edit on Wikivoyage is inconsistent with Wikipedia, or directly contradicts Wikipedia, then we should at the very least discuss why that is so. Also a different source (e.g. Peruvian government website) should be cited as a reason that Wikipedia is incorrect. --Andrewssi2 (talk) 22:29, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

 * As an English speaker who has never visited Latin America, I could very easily be wrong but ...
 * To me Cusco seems obviously correct, following our policy of the commonest English name. I had never even seen any other spelling until this controversy erupted. In a Google fight, Cusco gets 34 million hits & Cuzco only 13 million. WP uses Cusco though others, like Lonely Planet & UNESCO, use Cuzco. Pashley (talk) 08:02, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Google search results prove nothing, because they count Spanish-language uses. I have been familiar with the Cuzco spelling for decades, probably because my atlases and maps starting in the 1970s used it. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:27, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Cyprus

Naming
This article covers only the Republic of Cyprus/Southern Cyprus, and the naming is confusing. Since crossing the border is not a simple matter, they should have separate articles, and this should be reflected in the names. I'm working on a map and would like to change this now, any objections? --(WT-en) Peter Talk 16:48, 22 March 2009 (EDT)

 * Yes, it will be wrong to change the Map and there should be no separate articles. There is only one Cyprus, The island of Cyprus that is, and this is the one that entered the European union. The Republic of Cyprus controls only the southern part, as the northern part is occupied by the Turkish army. The article on Cyprus should simply mention that Turkey invaded in 1974, occupied more than 30% of the island and forced 40% of the population out of there homes. —The preceding comment was added by (WT-en) 213.7.113.249 (talk • contribs)

 * Would it be fair to ask whether your suggestion is based upon political considerations or upon a consideration of what would be useful for travelers visiting the island? Personally, I would find the fact that once cannot move freely from one side of the island to the other to be travel-relevant. That's all off topic though, I'm suggesting that we rename this article from "Cyprus" to "Republic of Cyprus," because we have two articles, and a casual editor/reader such as myself found this confusing. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 18:54, 27 March 2009 (EDT)

 * I don't see a need to change this. "Cyprus" with no qualifier is far and away the most common name for the Republic.  (WT-en) Jpatokal 02:16, 28 March 2009 (EDT)

 * I'm inclined to agree that this page should be moved (although, I'm thinking "Southern Cyprus" would be a better title). I'm thinking a "Cyprus" article should be for the whole island, it's a little confusing for the Cyprus guide to only cover half of Cyprus.

 * And maybe "Cyprus" is the most common name for the Republic. But I bet when most people think "Cyprus", they're more likely to think of the island then the southern half of it. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 08:01, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

 * That would be like calling the Republic of Ireland "South Ireland", in the sense that as far as I know, no-one does it. Of course I realize that Northern Ireland covers a much smaller percentage of the land area on the island of Ireland than Northern Cyprus does on the island of Cyprus, but that's not a good reason, in my opinion, to coin a name for a country that is in no wide use today. I think the article should remain as is, in terms of title and disclaimers. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:44, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

 * I also think that the article name should stay as-is; the article already links the Northern Cyprus article multiple times, so it's not like people will get confused and look for Kyrenia in this article. If the consensus would lean towards a change though, "Republic of Cyprus" would be more acceptable than "Southern Cyprus", I guess, as the Greek half of the island never calls itself using a directional adjective. We also have an extra region at Cyprus (island) but I'm not sure what purpose it serves, nor if anyone gets to see it since there are few internal links it receives. Vidimian (talk) 09:57, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

 * I suppose to me: "Cyprus = Republic of Cyprus = The southern part of Cyprus" feels like a political thing. Like I said: I think that most people would think of the island when they think "Cyprus". Even the government of the Republic would say that "Cyprus" refers to the whole island. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 09:27, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Put it this way: the majority of visitors will go to the southern part. Going to holiday in the northern part is definitely possible, but still rather exceptional. I would leave things as is. Andrewssi2 (talk) 04:12, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Well, that helps. But I'm curious: Why do most visitors go to the South? Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 06:02, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

 * There are no direct flights to the North from non-Turkish airports (in great part due to political reasons). And the South nowadays sees quite a few flights from all over Europe. Hobbitschuster (talk) 16:03, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

 * I don't fly much, so I'm pretty ignorant on the subject. But what stops travelers from just booking a flight to the North, via Turkey? Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 02:23, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Well for one there is less choice of airline and less competition. Greek Cypriot airports see service through the likes of Ryanair. Similarly, charter flights (which are often bundled with accommodation and thus sold as a package) are usually available to the South only. There are now a handful of "direct" flights that briefly touch down in Turkey before flying on to Northern Cyprus, but it is generally just more hassle. Add to that, that Cyprus is part of Schengen de jure but only Southern Cyprus is also part of it de facto (the Northern Cyprus visa is not hard to get, but you'll need a passport to go there). Of course the adventurous and knowledgeable traveler has no difficulty getting to Northern Cyprus, but most go the route of least resistance. Hobbitschuster (talk) 16:09, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Maybe we should put some of this information on the Northern Cyprus article. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 14:17, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure that was ever done. If that's still current information and it's useful to travelers, it should be added to that article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:49, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
 * The bit about the "direct" flights touching down at Turkish airports is mentioned in that article, though. Vidimian (talk) 11:25, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia link for Cyprus notice
Is it reasonable to link to 2012–2013 Cypriot financial crisis from the disclaimer box on Cyprus? I presume we want to keep details which directly affect travel (limits on ATMs, uncertain access to foreign currency exchange, merchants refusing payment cards) here with the rest of the info linked elsewhere as the situation may change rapidly. K7L (talk) 15:14, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Akrotiri and Dhekelia?
I noticed that the sovereign British areas of Akrotiri_and_Dhekelia are not covered in the regions.

Although they are not legally part of Cyprus, they are fully integrated with free movement into them from the other regions. There doesn't seem to be much to see (given the largely military use of the areas) however it seems like they should be covered as a region under Cyprus? --Andrewssi2 (talk) 21:13, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

History
I guess this was reverted because it was by Brendan? It did contain an erroneous phrasing in it. Cyprus' history is very interesting and significant, though. The crucial copper of Bronze Age civilization was mined mainly in Cyprus, whose name copper I believe is derived from, not the reverse. It's also the place where the earliest remains of domesticated cats have been discovered. Some pre-1960 history should be added. Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:45, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Yeah I only rollbacked it because it was added by the one Australian user who we all know... SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 00:46, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

 * Yes they can. The political boundaries and names may have changed, but all the visitable places previously described as 'in Czechoslovakia' are still there. Names like this have significant inertia and don't go away quickly just because somebody changed some political boundaries. Consequently, and however erroneously, many people from outside still talk and think about Czechoslovakia; I confess to doing it myself sometimes.

Talk:Czech phrasebook

Quarter to/past times?
Quarter past nine (9:15) - čtvrt na deset (literally "a quarter to ten")

This doesn't sound right to me, but since I'm not native, I'd like more input. In Slovenia we also say "četrt na deset" for 9:15, but "na"(.si) does not mean "to"(en) ("do"(.si) would be "to/until"(en)). I think literally it should be something along "a quarter on top of ten" (not quite "a quarter past ten", there's another word for that, "čez"(si)).

 * The quoted phrase is indeed correct, 9:15 is "čtvrt na deset" in Czech. I'm native from Prague. (WT-en) Jkt 21:38, 29 November 2009 (EST)

long and short vowels
Could somebody clarify the difference between 'e' and 'é', and also 'o' and 'ó'? The examples given don't make sense to me - in English, "red" and "bled" have the same vowel sound, and "for" and "bore" do as well. —The preceding comment was added by 83.240.79.93 (talk • contribs)
 * Probably User:Danapit can help. --ϒpsilon (talk) 20:02, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I see the point, 83.240.79.93, to me "red" and "bled" also sound the same and would represent the sound of 'e'. 'é', sounds the same, but is longer: /ɛː/. Similarly, 'o' sounds like "for" and I'm not sure if "bore" in English has a somewhat loner sound. 'ó' certainly is longer than 'o'. I can't come up with suitable examples of English words with the same sounds. Should we perhaps describe it similarly as 'ee' (='é') and 'oo' (='ó') are described in the Finnish phrasebook, ϒpsi? Because I think they are the same sounds. --Danapit (talk) 06:53, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think it's a good solution (though I don't know any Czech vowels or anything else, can just say ahoj and dekuji :)). Otherwise, if we wish to use an example from a fairly widely known language, in German 'oo' and 'ee' are pretty much the same as they're in Finnish (and Czech?). English doesn't seem to have it. ϒpsilon (talk) 13:14, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, I didn't mean to give an example from Finnish language, just wanted to use similar explanation as for 'ee' and 'oo' sounds in Finnish. Hope it's better now. Kiitos :) Danapit (talk) 13:27, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Czech "Anekdota" vs Polish "Anegdota"
Sorry if this is irrelevant but I wanted to discuss something. so it is very common in Czech for voiceless consonants to become voiced (ex: "k" in Anekdota is [g]). However, one of the things I noticed is that, K is used more often for [g] than G in Czech which is the opposite in Polish since most words with [g] sound are written with G. Why doesn't Polish use K more for the [g] sound like Czech does? Couldn't Anegdota be Anekdota? Akshatgos (talk) 14:33, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Map on the right
One comment: the map in the right infobox (don't know how it's called, but it's the box with picture, flag, quick facts...) has an error in the map - in the map is Czechoslovakia, which is former country. Since 1993, it's separated to Czech Republic and Slovakia. I can't correct it with tools I have at my computer now, maybe someone else? :) 88.101.134.63 03:55, 17 January 2013 (UTC) dj-bobr, CZ

 * I don't think you are right—I see Slovakia grayed out and distinct from the Czech Republic on that map. Maybe the map projection is confusing you? --Peter Talk 04:09, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

German names
I just edited the following:

"Never mention the Czech towns and places with their former German names, when asking for directions (e.g. referring to Karlsbad instead of Karlovy Vary etc.) or while chatting with the locals. Czechs will be offended and they will regard it as ignorance and a lack of respect towards themselves."

I think this is a bit of an exaggeration, and the example used is a bad one since Carlsbad was used in English to refer to Karlovy Vary, look for example on the label of a bottle of Becherovka and you'll see it written there. I've heard Czechs use it when they speak English. Pilsen is also used in English including by the city council. Using other historical German names is more likely to simply confuse people. filelakeshoe (talk) 13:13, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Vysocina (Highlands) vs. Bohemian-Moravian Highlands
The region split comes from WT, so probably the author is not here. Anyhow technically, Vysocina is not the same as the B-M highlands.

Via Czechia - longest hiking/biking/ski routes in Czech Republic
It would be great to add this info to your page - added directly from Via Czechia Via Czechia (hiking trails) on mapy.cz

Via Czechia is a unique system of long-distance hiking, cycling and skiing trails in the Czech Republic, running across and around the whole country. No matter whether a hiker, biker or a cross-country skier, you can give it a go! Via Czechia offers all three trail alternatives, in total of 5,160 km. Both North Trail and South Trail span between the westernmost and easternmost points of the country, roughly copy the border-line and lead over all of the Czech highest mountain peaks. By completing both trails, you will hike or ride almost a perfect circuit of 2,200 kilometers. Via Czechia passes through mountain sceneries, nature reserves, forests and meadows and other places of natural beauty, and also leads you to stunning cultural and historical places along the way.

 * Hello, Jan, and welcome! You say "your page". Who is "you"? This is a Wiki. Add the info yourself; just make sure you read the following links first: don't tout and external links. If it's possible and definitely relevant to travellers to add information about these trails and you can do so without touting, go ahead, and don't expect anyone else to do it. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:11, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

 * I'd say this would fit nicely as an itinerary article. Ideally, it would be good to have the paths mapped in OSM (as relations), which is however a major undertaking. Otherwise, you could provide the GPX under some WV-compatible license. Of course, it's also possible to just include a single listing "Via Czechia" somewhere and link it for further information... For me, the first option (OSM+itinerary article) would make most sense for WV, but I imagine it's also the least preferable for you (owner of the page) :) .... -- andree 19:02, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Slovak
Slovak is covered to nearly the same extent as Czech in (I removed some of it), but there is no mention on whether it is widely spoken in the country. It looks like the section were written during the time of Czechoslovakia and not rewritten to totally account for the divorce – although no version of this site existed in 1993. Could somebody tell to what extent (and in what areas) there are Slovak speakers around. –LPfi (talk) 10:29, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

 * I'd say the section is pretty accurate, if somewhat of a low value - unless the visitor speaks one of the languages (in which case they'll most likely know)... In the end, the two languages get mixed the more you go towards the eastern Czechia border :-) -- andree 20:50, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

You find this kind of re-writing quite often in Germany. Here, for example, is the description of the "local heritage" museum in Berchtesgaden:

Everything that had once validity in Berchtesgaden, is exposed in the local heritage museum in the palace "Adelsheim", a representative building of the late Renaissance. Many exhibits remind of the former "Augustiner Chorherrenstift" of Berchtesgaden, likewise of the "Bavarian king house", of the middle society, of earlier rural life and of historical clothings. Finally in the palace "Adelsheim" also a sales room of the Berchtesgadener handicraft art is accommodated. This manifold and oft-quoted people art could be received in many branches.

Oh that "local heritage"! Hitler's "Eagle's Nest" in Berchtesgaden is now an inn. You can buy there a baseball cap with "Berchtesgaden" embroidered on it!
