Non-touristy things to do

New York, Paris, London—they’re tourist traps. But plenty of other places in the world are just as beautiful and worth visiting without all the crowds. Sure, you can go to Europe if you want to, but it’s not the only place in the world worth seeing!

Non-touristy things to do in Paris.

Visit the Louvre: The Louvre is one of the oldest and largest museums in the world, with over 35,000 pieces of art from different civilizations on display. You can spend days in this museum and still not see everything.

Visit the Eiffel Tower: The Eiffel Tower is one of Paris’ most famous landmarks. It’s a beautiful sight to see at night.

Visit Notre Dame: This cathedral was built between 1163 and 1345, so it’s been around for quite some time! You can admire its architecture as well as its stained glass windows.

Non-touristy things to do in London.

 

• Go to the Tate Modern museum.
• Go to the British Museum
• Go to the Globe Theatre
• Go to the Tower of London
• Go to the National Gallery and Trafalgar Square (both of these are free)
• If you want to go shopping, go to Covent Garden or Harrods (but probably not both)
• For food and drink options, try Borough Market (which is a bit touristy but has some good options)

Non-touristy things to do in New York.

You can have a good time in New York without going to Times Square. The city has so much to offer, including:

• Food. The food in New York is fantastic. You could eat out every day and never get bored of it!
• Museums. There are museums on every corner, with new ones regularly opening to keep up with this city’s high demand for culture.
• Architecture. There are buildings here that are over 100 years old but still standing strong today because they were built so well by skilled architects who knew what they were doing back then too!
• Parks/Open Spaces: New Yorkers love their parks and spend time there whenever possible because it helps them relax after a long day at work or school (if they’re lucky enough not to live on an island) while also getting some fresh air into their lungs before going home again!

These things should give you plenty of ideas if you’re planning on where else besides Times Square might be worth checking out during your next visit here–and don’t forget about all those other fun activities mentioned above, like music concerts/shows at Madison Square Garden or hockey games at Barclays Center; shopping at Macy’s for clothing needs; etcetera…

Takeaway:

• Don’t be afraid to try new things.
• Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
• Don’t be afraid to travel alone.

Conclusion

This post is an excellent reminder that there are so many places to visit and things to do that aren’t just for tourists. It can be overwhelming when you look at all the options, but there are some easy ways to narrow down your choices. For example, if you want something relaxing, opt for one of these non-touristy spots where you won’t be surrounded by people who don’t speak English (or whatever language). Or if you have kids, then try visiting somewhere with activities they will like!
