- Kerma, one of the largest and most ancient archeological sites in ancient Nubia. (w:Kerma)
- Matagami (fr:Matagami) is a tiny place (w:Matagami) with a couple of hotels, but one of the few waypoints on the road to James Bay
- Sherbrooke (Nova Scotia) - primarily notable for a pioneer village living museum, but is a small place with few other amenities (currently redirects to Eastern Shore (Nova Scotia).
- A few individual towns on the main itinerary articles (such as the Trans-Canada Highway or Windsor-Quebec corridor) still redlink.
- Many of the national historic sites redlink
- Sandy Cove, a redirect of The Eastport Peninsula. (w:Sandy Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador) as a reference.
- Springfield_(Oregon) (w:Springfield, Oregon) is a city in Lane County, Oregon, United States. Located in the Southern Willamette Valley, it is within the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area. Separated from Eugene to the west, mainly by Interstate 5, Springfield is the second-most populous city in the metropolitan area after Eugene. It would serve as a complimentary or an addition to the Eugene, Oregon article. Perhaps the fictional city of Springfield where the Simpson was inspired from Springfield, Oregon as the author of the Simpson, Matt Groening, is from Portland, Oregon.
- Salvation's Islands/Îles du Salut: islands off the coast of French Guiana, formerly a penal colony and now a tourist destination
- Hiking in Torres Del Paine
- We have Torres del Paine National Park. More hiking information could be added to that article. Otherwise, perhaps this could be a travel topic? --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 23:21, 29 August 2025 (UTC)reply
- I think it would be great to have hiking guides for the O and W circuit in Torres del Paine, but I'm not quite sure the organization as it stands is how I'd like to have it in the future.
- It felt a bit out of place to add full hiking itineraries inside the national park articles, but maybe having separate articles for the O and W circuit would be better. Bluecoordinationfine (talk) 14:28, 1 September 2025 (UTC)reply
- @Bluecoordinatorfine: Itineraries for hiking trails are okay if there are a lot of really unique things to see on that route. For example we have Land Art Trail on Mount Učka. If there are individual trails or circuits with a lot of sites along the way, I'd suggest using the article I've mentioned as a guide. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 18:53, 6 September 2025 (UTC)reply
- I've mostly been following this (I've also made a few edits): Wikivoyage:Hiking itinerary template
- Which is a bit more similar to regular hiking guides for long distance hiking trails. For me, these trails are part of one of the premier hiking areas in the world, so they deserve a bit more love! Bluecoordinationfine (talk) 19:11, 7 September 2025 (UTC)reply
- Wow, I didn't know we had an itinerary template specifically for hiking trails. Props for finding that!
- I agree entirely by the way. Please keep up the great work and yes, I'd say create an article for each individual trail. The more hiking routes have detailed articles with travel information, the more unique content we have as a site for travelers. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 20:52, 7 September 2025 (UTC)reply
- Cape York Peninsula (currently a redirect to Far North Queensland) – this is currently a very remote part of Queensland that has many POIs north of Weipa, but distances are long and roads are only accessible outside the wet season.
- Tren Maya (w:Tren Maya) is a new railway across the Yucatan Peninsula between Cancun, Merida, and Palenque. Plans or construction is underway for a second line of the Tren Maya to go from Cancun to Palenque via Chetumal, Bacalar and Escarcega.
- Route Napoleon / Route Napoléon
- Possibly it can be covered in Napoleonic Wars, though it's still an itinerary. When Napoleon was defeated for the first time, the Coalition exiled him on the island of Elba but he managed to escape after less than a year. He was then at large for 100 days, moving north secretly along paths in the French Alps nowadays known as Route Napoleon and gathered a new army which was finally beaten at Waterloo.

- car free places in line with w:list of car-free places
- These are nice, speaking as someone who is involved with the urban planning industry, but is a list of car-free places really travel-related? --SHB (t | c | m) 05:36, 24 January 2025 (UTC)reply
- For those interested personally or professionally, such list could be nice for planning visits, if it can be done well. The list on Wikipedia is quite useless, as the places are seemingly arbitrary chosen (I wouldn't trust that the most important are included) and aren't described – even clicking the links doesn't tell anything relevant, for the ones I tried.
- This could be one article in a series on urban planning. My main worry is that the audience would be narrow enough to mostly consist of people who know much more than what we can write here, and all the examples we should mention might be well-known among the readers.
- If written, the article should describe the ideas behind the solutions chosen in our example places, which should illustrate successful and easily visited implementations of them (and perhaps examples that met surprising problems).
- –LPfi (talk) 07:33, 24 January 2025 (UTC)reply
- Your concern is also my concern. The (actual) urban planning industry is really niche and although there are some significant online communities into this kind of thing, we still wouldn't be able to fully be able to cover everything (I say "actual" because there is also a significant what I call "armchair urbanist" content out there which actual planners find wildly unrealistic). I can try and give it a shot if you'd want me to. --SHB (t | c | m) 07:45, 24 January 2025 (UTC)reply
- It would be very interesting to hear your thoughts, but writing the article just because I find it interesting seems overkill. –LPfi (talk) 08:12, 24 January 2025 (UTC)reply
- Nah don't worry about that – I suppose there is some merit and there's no harm in me trying. --SHB (t | c | m) 08:15, 24 January 2025 (UTC)reply
- :-)
- Then please plunge forward.

- I favor this as an article topic. I'm not an urban planner, but I surely enjoy visiting a car-free place like San Gimignano. Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:20, 24 January 2025 (UTC)reply
- Good to have some confirmation on this – I'll probably start a draft on Sunday then. --SHB (t | c | m) 10:23, 24 January 2025 (UTC)reply
- @LPfi, Ikan Kekek: Made a start at Car-free destinations, though I'm not too sure where to breadcrumb the article. Any ideas? SHB (t | c | m) 04:25, 26 January 2025 (UTC)reply
- Architecture in general; Why we have an article covering the topic as well as a select few "styles" including Gothic architecture and novelty architecture, the overall coverage is sorely lacking; especially compared to our coverage on historical travel. What about articles on Art deco architecture, Renaissance architecture or whatever the hell the fifties style concrete monsters are called ?
- We have Art Deco architecture. It's annoying that Art deco architecture doesn't redirect unless it's written in the search window. Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:11, 2 July 2015 (UTC)reply
- I shall create this redirect. And it should be mentioned on the architecture page. I think my point still stands. Several eras are not covered at all and the eras we do cover are not all that well covered. Hobbitschuster (talk) 13:37, 2 July 2015 (UTC)reply
- Your point does stand. There indeed could be more coverage of architecture - not to mention painting and sculpture. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:19, 2 July 2015 (UTC)reply
- w:Brutalist architecture. Powers (talk) 23:20, 2 July 2015 (UTC)reply
- There are probably even enthusiasts for that... After all, when they constructed the Plattenbau (GDR style high rises) in the 1970s and 1980s they considered them to be the best thing since sliced bread and wanted to tear down places like Dresden-Neustadt (which - if you read the listings carefully - is now the most popular part of Dresden with most tourists, precisely because it wasn't torn down). And other epochs like the architecture of Al Andalus or the British-Indian architecture (touched upon in British Raj) are well worth a detour if not a trip...

- Adivasi - India's indigenous people
- Graeco-Roman mythology provided that the Roman Empire article is oversized, and we have many other articles on religion. Trojan War exists.

- Spanish Civil War/20th-century Spain with places related to the Republics, the dictatorship and the transition to democracy /Yvwv (talk) 15:02, 15 March 2020 (UTC)reply
- The Troubles. I don't know if I'm actually requesting this; instead, I'd like to discuss it. I just deleted a link to the Wikipedia article about this horrible time in the history of Northern Ireland, but I had the thought that although the topic is delicate, it might make sense at some point to create a travel topic for people who would like more insight into The Troubles. For example, in Belfast, they should see the murals on the Protestant and Catholic sides of the city and go to the memorial for Catholic martyrs near the former wall. I don't know if it's too soon for there to be such a topic, though, in view of the hard feelings on both sides and continuing tension. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:54, 10 May 2020 (UTC)reply
- An interesting prospect for a topic. According to Wikivoyage:Naming conventions we avoid the in article names including travel topic. Our article on the Holocaust is named Holocaust remembrance. Could we find a suitable name for this article? /Yvwv (talk) 11:12, 11 May 2020 (UTC)reply
- I wonder if we have enough regular contributors editing destinations in Northern Ireland and Ireland to be confident of producing balanced correctly nuanced coverage of a sensitive area of recent history. It would be better to cover a longer period from the w:Easter Rising (or earlier) to the w:Good Friday Agreement. The events of 1916 in Dublin are more easily viewed as history than the bombing in Omagh in 1998. AlasdairW (talk) 20:40, 11 May 2020 (UTC)reply
- A broader topic as you outlined would be fine, and segments of it could always be spun off whenever it gets long. In terms of nomenclature, though, if the topic on the Holocaust didn't have the word "remembrance" in it, we could easily use the phrase "Nazi Holocaust", but in this case, "The" is always used and "Troubles" wouldn't make sense. So per ttcf and as an exception like The Hague, we should use "The" in the title if we go with this topic. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:02, 11 May 2020 (UTC)reply
- Would Irish republicanism do? Compare w:Irish republicanism. /Yvwv (talk) 14:55, 4 October 2020 (UTC)reply
- That's only one side of the conflict. We'd have to be very careful to avoid bias if we focus only on that side. Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:23, 4 October 2020 (UTC)reply

- Numismatics and coinage: Coin collections, mints, and use of coinage in history and archaeology
- Carnivals. Mardi Gras redirects to the one in New Orleans but there are hundreds of such festivals around the world. Additionally, there is plenty to pull from Wikipedia with regards to "Carnival in X city/region" pages.
- Dancing This is a big one that has been missed. Most cities has at least some dancing, but some cities are better than others as dance hubs! Might also fit in the "reasons to travel" section, if you are travelling often enough to different dance events. Currently there's a workable article on Salsa Dancing in Latin America, but there is more than just Salsa in Latin America, there are many styles of solo and partner dance; and there are many other places besides Latam with salsa, besides. —The preceding comment was added by SiahSargus (talk • contribs)
- I think that's way too broad a topic for an article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:29, 18 July 2023 (UTC)reply
- It is, but could be broken down, written in pieces by authors who know some specific theme (such as the mentioned salsa article); Dancing could be more or less an index (like Winter sports, covering some themes that don't warrant or don't have their own article). I assume Argentinian tango and some other specific genres would be worthwhile articles. What about the ballroom dances (and similar pair dances) as social dancing? Are those danced commonly enough around the (Western?) world that one might want to check on them before some kinds of travel (such as if you prefer a dance restaurant over disco, or are going to attend a wedding)? Cf Finland#Social dancing. Folk dances are too region-specific in general, but some have got international attention (we had a American square dance course in my tiny, not dance-oriented, student club). –LPfi (talk) 09:47, 18 July 2023 (UTC)reply
- We have Salsa dancing in Latin America. AlasdairW (talk) 09:57, 18 July 2023 (UTC)reply
- I now created Social dancing and redirected Dancing to there. Please check that it is doesn't misrepresent the subject and that the scope is viable. The article now has a heavy Europe+US bias and is also otherwise an outline, but I think it can be developed from here. Contributions welcome. @SiahSargus. –LPfi (talk) 09:45, 20 October 2023 (UTC)reply
