Become a ‘historvian’ and help ‘map history’

With all of our hand-picked villas being located in only the most aesthetically, culturally and historically rewarding locations, we can safely assume our clients are predominantly yearning a touch of history and culture on their well-deserved holiday.

Given this surmise, Vintage Travel felt compelled to inform our readers about an interesting website known as historvius.com.

 

This unique and intriguing website enables visitors to discover and explore historical sites from around the world at their fingertips.

From world-renowned, UNESCO sites to lost, forgotten and crumbling ruins, Historvius provides valuable information on each historic site, including directions to the site, entry and contact details and comments from other ‘Historvians’ who have visited the site.

What’s more visitors to the website can become interactively involved in its development, as Historvia encourages its users to upload historical sites they have stumbled upon on their travels onto the website.

History enthusiasts can make their mark on the historical site community by uploading as much or as little information as they like about an historical destination which has yet to appear on the website. Uploading historical data does not even require registration and is simple and quick to use.

If you are planning the itinerary for your trip and are wanting it to include a slice of history then Historvia’s map-based database of historical sites will help you map out your itinerary so that it is bursting with history and culture to cater for all the family’s tastes.

This highly original and comprehensive website also includes features about history news, city guides, historical holiday ideas, historical sites fundamentally missed by the travel guides, an Historvius blog which keeps readers updated about the latest news and goings on with the website, and a site guide, which aims to answer all users’ questions.

So what are you waiting for?

Help others enjoy experiencing a historical site you have found by exposing it to a worldwide audience. Or simply have a helping hand at planning your history-bulging holiday itinerary. Either way log on to historvius.com.
