Google seems to be testing a new box underneath the local pack that is titled "websites for places." It shows websites that represent the place listings showing in the local pack above it.
Sorry, this was first spotted by Alexander Außermayr who posted this on LinkedIn. I found this via Von Christian Kunz who posted this on X. He wrote, "Google is showing 'Websites zu Orten' which means 'Websites for places' near Local Packs. Seems to be new, not seen that before. Remembers me of 'Find results on'.
Here are his screenshots:
This seems new to me...
Update: New example:
While doing a search "regalos originales San Valentin" (original Valentine's Day gifts) in https://t.co/42AN7ZjuGG, I saw this feature: "Places sites", listing classic articles with list of products + affiliate links.

Forum discussion at X and LinkedIn.
Update: Also Transport sites:
Hi @rustybrick, I think this might be new (DMA), for bus and train searches. Don't recall a "Transport sites" module (like the Places sites one) being mentioned in Google's announcements... pic.twitter.com/G3sZ1OKuT3
