The Local Favourites List
Collecting recommendations that cannot easily be found in a search engine.
At a Glance
- Ask one simple question
- Record the answer
- Respect local places
Some of the best recommendations come from conversations - the hotel receptionist, the florist, the bookseller, the waiter, the woman walking her dog, the baker.
Ask One Simple Question
“If this were your day off, where would you go?” The answers often become the highlights of the trip.
Record
Who recommended it, why, whether you visited, and whether you would recommend it too.
Respect Local Places
When sharing recommendations later, remember that some neighbourhood businesses thrive because they remain quiet. Consider highlighting the atmosphere rather than encouraging everyone to visit the same hidden places, helping preserve the character that made them special in the first place.

The best addresses are often shared person to person.
