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 just walk and see what I find. I like walking so that’s a plus.

As the others have said, anything you Google is going to be too popular. Just wander and wonder.

Tbh now that i think about it, wouldn't a hoverboard be the perfect mode of transport for exploring cities? It's faster than walking but still slow enough that you can take things in and stop easily, saves you from getting an extremely chiseled ass from all the walking, and you can easily just tuck it under an arm when needed.
