Wikivoyage is a city in the Wikimedia universe.

Understand

Indeed the whole world fits into Wikivoyage

Established by Evan the Great in 2003 two years after Wikipedia, Wikivoyage was first known by the name Wikitravel. A truly multicultural place, it attracted - and still attracts - inhabitants from around the world. The city is subdivided in several city districts according to the languages spoken by the inhabitants, though it's not uncommon for inhabitants to have a home in more than one district.

Around 2006, the German district declared independence and renamed itself Wikivoyage, after the IB party rose to power. The rest of the city districts followed suit in 2012. Since that, the old name refers to the caves deep below Wikivoyage.

Today it is a city of more than two million inhabitants, of which just about 600 is living there. The rest are of course out travelling!
