Place collections

Every place has a story. Share yours.

The café you always go back to. A walk you still talk about. The places that made a weekend. Put them on a map, add their stories, and share a little of your world.

Example collection. You can explore the map without joining.

  1. Mercat de Santa Caterina

    Barcelona

    Our first stop every morning. Coffee at the counter, then a slow walk through the market before the city got busy.

  2. Parc de la Ciutadella

    Barcelona

    We brought lunch here and ended up staying for hours. The afternoon we finally stopped trying to see everything.

  3. Platja de la Barceloneta

    Barcelona

    One last walk by the sea before heading home. This is the bit of the weekend I keep coming back to.

What would you put on your map?

Remember a trip

The market you went back to, a quiet park, the last walk by the sea. Keep the places and the memories together.

Share your local favourites

Make a personal guide to your neighbourhood, from your regular coffee stop to somewhere you take every visitor.

Pass on recommendations

Give a friend a map of places you love, with a few words about what makes each one worth a visit.

A few things to know

Do people have to vote?

Collections have no voting, rankings, or deadlines. Each place has room for stories, notes, and photos.

Do I need an account?

No account is needed. Add your name when you create a collection. Readers can explore without joining, and add a name if they want to contribute notes or photos.

Can I choose who finds my collection?

You can list it publicly on Discover or keep it unlisted. Anyone with an unlisted collection’s link can still view it and share the link with others.

How many places can I add?

A collection can have between 1 and 50 places in a chosen city, town, or neighbourhood and its surrounding area. You can add, rename, reorder, or remove places after creating it.

Start with a place you love.

Add a story. Share the map. Let the conversation grow.
