About NotJustSights
NotJustSights is an independent travel guide to experiences worth traveling for, starting with Buenos Aires. We handpick a small number of experiences, check who runs them and what they include, and link you straight to the official booking page. No one pays to be listed.
Why we started
City guides tend to list the same monuments in the same order. The moments people remember from a trip are usually different: an evening in a dance hall, a Sunday market, a walk with someone who knows the streets. NotJustSights collects those moments, one city at a time, and explains them clearly enough that you can actually go.

How we choose experiences
An experience makes it onto NotJustSights when it passes four tests:
- It is memorable. It gives you something you could not get by walking past a sight with a guidebook.
- It is real. It is part of how the city actually lives, not staged only for visitors.
- It is possible. A first-time visitor can book or join it without special contacts.
- It is checked. We confirm who runs it, what it includes and where to book it, and we link to the official listing.
We would rather publish a few strong recommendations than a long list of filler. That is why each city launches small and grows slowly.
What we check, and what we do not claim
For every bookable experience we confirm the provider, the experience itself and the official booking link. We do not publish prices or availability, because they change. The booking platform always has the current details. We never write reviews, ratings or testimonials we have not received, and we never use photos we do not have the right to use.
How we make money
Right now, we do not. There are no ads, no sponsored placements and no paid listings on NotJustSights, and no one can pay to be featured. If that ever changes, or if we start earning a commission on bookings, we will say so clearly on the pages where it applies.
