About Us.

What We Do

Pick Best Places is a curated travel directory built for travellers who want more than a top-ten list. We publish in-depth, category-specific guides to cities and destinations across 50+ countries — covering everything from the best local dining and hidden heritage sites to rooftop bars, wellness retreats, and specialty coffee shops.

Our Editorial Approach

Every guide on Pick Best Places is written by someone who knows the place. We prioritise genuine local knowledge over recycled aggregator content. Our goal is simple: give you the kind of recommendations a well-travelled friend would make — honest, specific, and actually useful on the ground.

Guides are organised by city and category, so whether you're looking for the best free things to do in Punta Cana or the top specialty coffee roasters in Melbourne, you can find exactly what you need without wading through irrelevant results.

Our Categories

We cover eight core categories across every destination:

• Dining & Local Flavors – Ancestral kitchens, street markets, and refined tasting menus.
• Heritage & Sightseeing – Monuments, ruins, museums, and architectural walks.
• Nature & Outdoors – Trails, parks, coastlines, and scenic lookouts.
• Coffee & Workspaces – Specialty brews, co-working spots, and quiet corners for focus.
• Nightlife & Bars – Cocktail dens, rooftops, and live music venues.
• Art & Culture – Galleries, street art, performing arts, and local festivals.
• Shopping & Markets – Artisan bazaars, boutiques, and weekend markets.
• Wellness & Spas – Hammams, yoga retreats, and holistic wellness centres.
