Honestly, I just winged it—asked locals where *they* eat, not the guidebooks. Skipped museums for morning markets, chatted up shopkeepers instead of snapping pics. Time’s tight? Ditch the checklist. I once spent three hours in a tiny café because the owner kept refilling my coffee and telling stories—best “tour” ever. Locals don’t live on schedules; neither should you. Wander wrong turns, say yes to weird street food, nap in parks. Real life’s messy, slow, delicious. You’ll miss half the “must-sees,” but you’ll taste the place, not just see it.
