About Port & Parlor

Our mission

Travel slower, lighter and with less hassle. Port & Parlor focuses on destinations that are reachable without a car and still feel special.

How we select places

Hand-picked over hype. We look for rail proximity (walk or short bus/taxi ride), a calm vibe, and a few clear highlights instead of endless checklists.

Each place includes practical links (map, food, stays, weather) to keep planning simple.

Sustainability & transparency

Transit-first lowers emissions and stress. We stay pragmatic and explain when another way to get there makes more sense. Bookings are with third parties; any affiliate links are clearly labelled.

Pro membership

With Pro you get, for example, extra filters, personal notes, favorites and a compact weather preview per place. We’re expanding features and adding new destinations step by step so you can discover more.

Your Pro membership directly supports Port & Parlor: it funds hosting, ongoing development and careful research into new rail-friendly places.
