(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 25, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA -- Meeting the growing demand for succinct and balanced information about some of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities, SightsOfTheCity.com today announces its official launch.
The website, created by a leading group of globetrotting young travel professionals, aims to provide to-the-point information on a range of exciting cities around the world.
The website’s Owner explains why the concept is vital for travellers:
“Short city breaks are becoming more and more popular, as well as daytrips that are tagged onto business travel. However, it can be difficult to find information on a city without reading complicated, long-winded travel guides.”
He continues: “Our model is to provide free and condensed city guides so that anyone can plan their perfect day in a new city in just minutes. We give only the essential information as we know most city breaks are quite short.”
Each guide provides a compact yet comprehensive overview of each city’s highlights. Ranging from tours and attractions to weather, transportation and short city profiles – travellers are treated to simple and co-ordinated information to make planning their short stay a breeze.
Critics are congratulating SightsOfTheCity.com for their signature feature: suggested 1-day itineraries. These pre-determined and well researched schedules offer a perfect opportunity to explore each destination to its fullest, in a single day.
“Our team has actually visited each of the cities we are featuring. Therefore, we have the unique ability to only include tours and sights that we feel are truly representative of the city and can realistically be seen in a single day,” says the Owner of the website.
Each featured attraction, tour or landmark is accompanied by a direct booking link, making the website a mini-hub for all things travel.
In terms of success, SightsOfTheCity.com has enjoyed a fruitful launch. Over eleven thousand travel-addicts have already Liked the site’s Facebook page, which is quickly becoming an active forum for tips and tricks, lively discussion and an arena for answering destination-specific questions.
Looking to the future, the Sights of the City team are already scouring the globe for new destinations to feature. They are hinting at the identities of the next additions, with Los Angeles, Miami, Hamburg, London and Hawaii reportedly in the works.
“We don’t want to give too much away, but we have some awesome cities currently in development. We urge everyone to add us to Facebook and await an official announcement about our next update,” they conclude.
Interested parties can sign up to the Facebook page here.
Sights of the City’s mission is to provide readers with to-the-point travel guides that make planning their next city trip easy.
Considering everyone’s busy lives and information overload, the website felt that it’s necessary to condense travel tips into a few pages, so plans easily can be made even on the go.
Each city guide includes brief visitor information about a user’s chosen destination, outlining the general vibe and layout. The website offer insights on what parts of town to find hotels or lodging in, what transit options tourists have, and what weather to expect.
More importantly, Sights of the City provides one-day itineraries of cities to help readers see the most of their des-tination in just a day’s time. Their itineraries tend to be pretty packed since the site’s owners are pretty gung-ho about exploring destinations to their fullest, so readers certainly can break up their one-day itineraries into multiple days.
And once travellers are done with their suggested program, check out their favorite tours, activities and attractions to extend a stay. Or, if ready to skip town, they provide travel tips for tours beyond the city limits.
In addition to their city guides, they offer one of the most complete online stores for tours, attractions and activities from around the world, often at greatly discounted to help everyone save money on their next vacation.
Their city guides and suggested or favorite programs are independent on of what readers can choose in the site’s online store. Sights of the City simply wants everyone to know what they personally have enjoyed seeing the most, but then give everyone the option to make bookings to their personal likings.
