Issues include:

✅ (fixed) *Insufficient lead: Much of the information in the body is not summarized in the intro (culture, geography, etc.)

✅ (fixed) *Unsourced info and undue weight given to sports clubs, sites of interest, and colleges, which are listed in bulleted form without any elaboration.

✅ (fixed) *The " Transport" is stubby and unsourced.

✅ (fixed, a substantial number of non-tour sites added, access dates added, format of references standardized even though not a requirement for GA, but probably a requirement for FA)*Not enough sources, and what few sources there are mainly tour-guide-type sites, which are not the most reliable sources out there. Additionally, sources need titles, publishers and last access dates per WP:CITE/ES.
