These ones are actually worth visiting!

There are plenty of touristy cities and although there’s a reason so many people love to visit, I often get turned off from wanting to visit because I fear it’s full of tourist traps and I won’t actually get a feel for the culture. That said, these three “touristy” cities are worth it to me!

Paris - I’ll be honest, I hated Paris the first few times I went but that was before I got to know Paris past its tourist attractions. There is so much life in Paris and my favorite part is that there seems to be something for everyone! It’s not just for fashionistas, there is so much the city has to offer, you just have to make the effort.

Amsterdam - one of the most unique cities! I am obsessed with the canals, the alleyways, the bikes -it’s all so charming and it’s definitely worth the visit. Make sure you know the difference between a cafe and a coffeeshop!

San Francisco - another completely unique gem of a city! It’s got parks, bridges, amazing food, and so much more within this tiny 7 mile by 7 mile city! Don’t believe everything you see on the news, there’s so much beauty in this city.

Get to exploring!

Tourist cities often come with a reputation for being overcrowded and filled with traps, making travelers wary. However, places like Paris, Amsterdam, and San Francisco provide a blend of iconic sights and authentic experiences that reveal the heart of these vibrant cities. In Paris, beyond the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, explore the charming neighborhoods of Montmartre and Le Marais, where local artisans thrive. Sample pastries and enjoy the café culture to truly appreciate the essence of this city. Amsterdam offers a unique experience through its picturesque canals and cycling culture. Venture beyond the main attractions to discover the cozy cafés and hidden courtyards that make the city special. The contrast of historic architecture with modern-day creativity makes Amsterdam a must-visit destination. San Francisco, with its hilly streets, eclectic neighborhoods, and stunning views, showcases a rich cultural narrative. Places like the Mission District burst with street art and culinary diversity, while neighborhoods like Haight-Ashbury tell tales of a revolutionary past. Don't miss the chance to stroll through Golden Gate Park or visit the historic Alcatraz Island. These cities each hold secrets waiting to be uncovered, and by stepping off the well-trodden path, travelers can forge connections and create lasting memories in some of the world's most beloved destinations.
