French term or phrase: abordée
Hello,

I'm translating part of a website for a corporate travel company.

"Une ville peut être abordée plusieurs fois, avec un contenu et un programme très différent"

I understand what this means, but can't find what to use here. Any ideas?

Thank you in advance :)
Louisa.

visited


Explanation:
As others have said, it depends on the context, but unless we're very clearly talking about the idea of a city, it seems to me that 'visited' fits better here than 'approached.'

'Approaching' a city itself sounds like you're physically getting closer to it.
This sounds more like 'You can visit a city many times, each time with a different itinerary in mind.'

If the context makes it clear that we're talking about the idea of a city then 'approach' could work.
