How do you explore a new city as a tourist? (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone!

I recently started to travel a lot for tourism and I always don't know how to properly get the info about the place I'm visiting.

I don't like guided tours so I thought to use Wikivoyage but the articles are so reductive in comparison to what you can find on Wikipedia that unfortunately doesn't have a TTS option.

What do you use then? How do you organize yourself?

I (almost) never make any plans. I travel to the city, and then I decide what to do on the spot. Whatever I happen to be in the mood for. Most places I visit have something I want to see already and I don't have to plan for it. And if there are night life activities, I'm checking them out. No rules. No itinerary. Just spontaneous adventure.
