About this data

Safety levels and entry notes are based on the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) travel advice published on GOV.UK under the Open Government Licence, checked every day. Capitals, languages, currencies, time zones and photos come from Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons.

Advice is written for British travellers; your own government’s advice, visa rules and insurance terms may differ. Always check your foreign ministry and the destination’s embassy before you travel.
