Travel & Places Emoji — Maps, Landmarks, Weather and Time

Travel & Places assembles 219 emoji on EmojiSelect: the maps and geography, transport, buildings, landmarks, weather and time symbols that describe where we are and where we are going. The Unicode layout separates place-map, place-geographic, place-building, place-religious, place-other, transport, sky-and-weather, and time — so planning a trip, describing the weather or setting a meeting time each has its own shelf.

The category carries a lot of planning weight. Itineraries are written in these glyphs: a ✈️, a 🚆, a 🏨 and a 🗺️ tell a complete story without a verb. The weather subset does double duty as the internet's mood system — a 🌧️ for a bad day, a ☀️ for a good one — and the time subset anchors schedules: 🕐 to 🕛 plus ⏰ and ⏳ appear in every shared calendar and countdown.

Our browse page keeps the Unicode order — maps, geography, buildings, religious places, transport, sky and weather, then time — so the 219 entries read like a travel shelf. Each landmark, vehicle and clock links to its detail page with codepoints, meanings and related emoji.

Why it matters

What makes this category easy to misuse is scale. Landmarks are generic by design — 🏰 is a castle, not a specific castle; 🗼 is Tokyo Tower by silhouette but often borrowed for Paris. We document which emoji have specific real-world referents and which are intentionally generic, so a trip story never misleads. Transport, meanwhile, grows with the roads: the pickup truck 🛻 arrived in Emoji 13.0 (2020) and the parachute 🪂 in Emoji 12.0 (2019).
