It is made by one person, Pavel, who loves this country, every park, coast, town and back lane of it, and would like people from everywhere on Earth to travel round it more. The servers and the AI that writes the short descriptions cost money every month. If offyougo helped you plan a day out, please consider a one-off gift.

A one-off payment through Stripe, from £2 to £2,000; the receipt comes by email. Or buy Pavel a matcha 🍵 on Ko-fi.
