A well-organized trip abroad can be a source of many new impressions. But for this, it is best not to limit yourself to visiting museums and shops, but to try to find out the place where you have arrived a little deeper.
Plan to visit the main attractions of the city you plan to travel to. It could be the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the famous Leaning Tower in Pisa, the Colosseum in Rome. Even if you are not very interested in these objects, you should see them even from a distance - you should join the eternal at least in small quantities.
Before traveling, check the website of the city you are going to. It is possible that it is at this time that some interesting events take place there - holidays, exhibitions, festivals. Do not miss the opportunity to visit them - you may not have a second chance to see, for example, the festival of lights in Lyon or a medieval festival in Provence.
If you are planning to visit a very large museum, for example the Louvre, but you have limited time, select one or more exhibitions that interest you in advance. Otherwise, you may simply not reach them, since you will not have enough strength for this.
Visit a restaurant or cafe serving local cuisine. The best place can be easily identified by how many people want to enter it at lunchtime and for dinner. If you see a line at the door, chances are good that it's worth going in there. For aficionados of gourmet food, there are food guides such as Michelin. You will be able to find out in advance which restaurant is considered the best in the city you are heading to.
Go to the local market. Open-air trading can be interesting not only in Asia, but also in Europe. For example, in France and Germany on weekends in the morning you can find book and antique markets, as well as buy the freshest vegetables and fruits, meat products and cheeses produced by farmers. The local press sometimes reports on the locations of such fairs.
Try to find people you know in the city you are traveling to. They will be able to tell you what is best to see. In addition, you will get a rare chance to see the country not only from the point of view of a tourist, but also to get acquainted with places popular with locals.
