// About PlacesToday
WE GO THERE FIRST.
PlacesToday is a global travel discovery platform built on a simple idea: every recommendation should be verified by someone who actually lives there.
Search for "best restaurants in Lisbon" and you'll get a mix of sponsored results, aggregators with three-year-old data, and bloggers who visited once in 2019 on a press trip.
Meanwhile the AI chatbots everyone is using pull from the same low-quality web data — hallucinating restaurant names, recommending places that have closed, and giving generic advice that could apply to any city in the world.
We built PlacesToday to fix this. Local editors. Verified listings. AI that personalises — not guesses. A business model that makes money from bookings, not from selling your attention to advertisers.
// The Model
HOW WE ACTUALLY WORK.
🧑💻
01
Local Editors
Every country has editors who live there. They visit, eat, stay, and write from genuine experience — not press trips.
✅
02
Verification
Each listing is checked before publishing. Hours, prices, quality. Updated at least twice a year or when something changes.
🤖
03
AI Personalisation
Claude AI takes verified local data and builds a plan tailored to your exact group, occasion, budget, and vibe.
💰
04
Honest Revenue
We earn affiliate commissions when you book hotels and tours. That's it. Nobody pays to be featured. Rankings are editorial.

// The Vision
EVERY COUNTRY. ONE TRUTH.
We started with Portugal. We are adding countries every quarter — each with its own local editorial team, its own AI chatbot, and its own subdomain. The goal is to cover every major tourist destination in the world with the same standard of verified, honest, occasion-based planning.
