City guides in the world
City guides of the world have come about through FREEDOMtravel.se travelling and discovering the world for 8 months a year since 2009, specialising in Europe. We have used a motorhome ourselves but we write for you as a traveller. It makes no difference if you fly into a city or town or if you get there mobile, because it's the "seeing and doing" in focus for you as a traveller.
The tips that we have will be added to and we will have many experiences in many cities, and we hope that we are an inspiration to you who are travelling. No one wants to come home from a destination to someone saying "did you miss that, oh no". Think of us as a destination site that is digital and that you always have with you when travelling.
Which city guides from the world do you want?
We go around the world and maybe there are some special ones that we are missing, that many people want to know about, or that are not widely available online. Feel free to write and tell us!
