Cities are often centers of culture, with a wealth of museums, galleries and other cultural institutions to explore. Don't forget about food, in all cities you will find a diverse range of dining options, from traditional street food to Michelin-starred restaurants. I love finding food markets and street stalls for grabbing lunch and snacks. They are also often home to iconic landmarks and tourist attractions, making them great destinations for sightseeing. My favorite thing to do in a new place is to just wander - it is so great to find new neighborhoods, parks, and hidden gems. It makes me feel like an explorer!
Many cities offer budget-friendly options such as free walking tours, discounted museum passes, and low-cost public transportation. Have a look online to see what is free.
