When you visit another country, you want to truly experience their culture. You don't want to find just the areas designed for tourists, which don't allow you to truly see and understand the people and the land of that country. To do this, I like to try to meet people who live there and ask what places they enjoy visiting or what restaurants and types of food that they prefer. Don't be afraid to travel off the beaten path and instead take the more interesting route that will give you better stories to tell in the end! The places built for tourists are still fun to visit, but they won't give you the complete experience of the region.
