How we use photos

  • We only use photos published under the Unsplash License, or under free Creative Commons licences (CC BY, CC BY-SA, CC0) on Wikimedia Commons with the credit shown above.
  • Photos of a specific place show that exact place. Where no free photo of a venue exists, the card uses a matching photo labelled “Representative photo”.
  • Photos are downloaded, optimised to WebP and served from goaplace.com — we don’t hotlink images.
  • We never use photos from Google Maps, TripAdvisor, Instagram, Zomato or booking sites.
  • If you are a photographer and would like a credit corrected or a photo removed, please email info@goaplace.com.
