137 cities. Every continent.

Things to do in
every city on earth.

Straight answers, curated lists, and in-depth guides:
backed by live local data. No ads, no sponsored rankings, no fluff.

TTDI is an answer engine for travel. Every page answers one specific question: when to visit, what a day costs, where locals eat, whether it's safe: in the first fifty words, and then earns that answer with the climate record, the current exchange rate, and a catalog of places we can stand behind. No stubs, no sponsored rankings, no filler. A page exists because travelers keep asking its question, and for no other reason.

October

In season right now

Cities whose best-time verdict names October among their best months: with the month's real numbers, not a brochure's optimism.

From the question pages

Straight answers, verbatim

The newest verdicts: each one self-contained, sourced, and quotable exactly as written.

Best day trips: Yokohama

Kamakura is the best single day out of Yokohama, under half an hour south by JR with a giant bronze Buddha, cliffside temples, and tea in a bamboo grove. Yokosuka suits couples with split interests: a warship museum for one of you and navy curry for the other. Enoshima adds a sunset. Hakone deserves a ryokan overnight, not a rushed loop.
Where locals go: Yokohama

Locals drink in Noge's standing bars beside Sakuragicho Station from 5pm, shop Yokohama-bashi Shotengai for cheap produce before 11am, and eat Okinawan food in Tsurumi's Nakadori. Rokkakubashi's covered arcade by Hakuraku Station and the Ooka River studios of Koganecho draw residents, not the Minato Mirai weekend crowds.
What to pack: Yokohama

Pack broken-in walking shoes with grip for the Yamate Bluff climbs and Sankei-en's paths, a hooded rain shell in place of an umbrella, one light long-sleeve layer, and a small hand towel for restrooms without dryers. Load a Suica card onto your phone, carry around 10,000 yen in cash, and pick up toiletries at a Yokohama drugstore.
3-day itinerary: Yokohama

Base yourself near Sakuragicho and split Yokohama into three walkable clusters: Day 1 is Minato Mirai at an easy jet-lag pace, Day 2 runs from Yamashita Park through Chinatown to the Yamate Bluff, and Day 3 is Sankeien garden in the morning and the izakaya alleys of Noge at night. Budget about 32 km, trains and buses included.

Long-form, named-author deep dives: the pages we'd hand a friend the week before their trip.

Yokohama Restaurants: What's Worth It

Twelve Yokohama kitchens, from Chinatown in Yamashita-cho to Ishikawacho and Motomachi, sorted into two tiers, each with a standout order, a runner-up beside it, and a plain note on who it suits. One Japanese meal is worth a reservation. Two Chinatown noodle bowls are worth staying up for.

Yokohama
Yogyakarta Restaurants: What's Worth It

Twelve kitchens, two tiers, six verdicts. This guide sorts where Yogyakarta eats by the clock and says what to order at each table: from Solo-style tengkleng on Jalan Pekapalan Timur to smashed ayam geprek at 03:00 in Terban. Every pick comes with a runner-up and a note on who it suits, plus where to find gudeg on Jalan Wijilan.

Yogyakarta
Nagoya Restaurants: What's Worth It

Twelve rooms across Sakae, Higashisakura, Meieki, and the Noritake campus, split into destination meals and problem solvers. Each venue gets a verdict naming who the room is right for and when to walk in.
