Quick take
- We cite sources where they add real planning value or context.
- We prefer primary/official sources for logistics and definitions.
- We update sources as guides evolve.
Primary sources (where possible)
For logistics and definitions, we prefer official sources. For historical background, we may use reference sources for context.
We deliberately avoid copying time-sensitive details (like opening hours) into evergreen guides unless we can keep them reliably updated.

Reference sources (background only)
When we include lightweight history or definitions, we may link reference sources so you can go deeper if you want context — without turning the guide into homework.
