reisida

Reisida is a term used in several Nordic languages to denote a travel page or travel section in a website, newspaper, or magazine. It is formed from reis or resa meaning to travel and sida or side meaning page, and it is most common in Norwegian and Icelandic contexts. In English-language writing, the concept is usually rendered as “travel page” or “travel section.”

A reisida typically collects travel-related content, including destination profiles, suggested itineraries, practical tips, lodging and transport information, maps, photography, and often user reviews or blog-style contributions. It can appear as a dedicated section on a news outlet, a tourism portal, or a personal or corporate travel site. Content may be curated by editors or contributed by users, and modern reisidas often feature search filters, interactive maps, media galleries, and links to booking or planning services.

Etymology and usage notes: The word reflects common Nordic compound patterns, combining words for travel and page. Its use is regional rather than universal, and many Nordic publishers prefer language-specific labels such as “travel section” rather than a single standardized term. As a concept, reisida aligns with broader travel journalism and online travel guides.
