Travel: Six Lesser-Known City Destinations To Swap For Tourist Traps

When we travel, we often tend to take the road most travelled, to stay on the beaten path. And there is a good reason for that: familiarity breeds a sense of security, which some people need whilst away from home. But heavily beaten paths come with their own setbacks. Why spend your hard-earned money to go somewhere you’ve been before when you could try somewhere new? Why travel thousands of miles to a place whose landmarks – eg, the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning tower of Pisa – you could draw from memory? Can you really have an adventure in such a place? Do you really want to tangle with the rest of the tourists? These are all valid questions.
