Picks are computed from Voykit's own fields (walk-in windows, seating, diet, price band, booking). A place already picked for one category is passed over for the next when another qualifies; price-based picks never are. A category without a qualifying place is left out rather than filled.

How we judge

Book it
Worth paying for: it solves access, language or transport.
Maybe
Depends on you: read who it suits.
Do it yourself
Easy alone; a tour adds little.
Skip
Poor value, unsafe or restricted.
