Areas: the 29 urban villages of Pontianak that Wikidata records as a kelurahan located in the city. Places to stay are not assigned by boundary: each is counted in the area whose centre is nearest, and only when it is within that area's reach (twice the radius of a circle the size of the area where Wikidata gives its size, otherwise 1.5 km) and no nearer the centre of a neighbouring town in this guide; 33 places to stay are counted this way. Sights are counted the same way. Main sights: the 4 sights in these areas covered by the most Wikipedia language editions. Stations: railway and metro stations in Wikidata. All distances are straight-line from the area's centre point; on foot or by road they are longer.
Restaurants, cafes and bars: as mapped in OpenStreetMap, counted in the area whose centre is nearest, the same way as the places to stay. A zero means none is mapped in OpenStreetMap, not that there are none: coverage varies from place to place.
