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 search for the types of things I like specifically instead of the things that are thought to have wide appeal. Wherever I go I look for: vegan food, extreme metal concerts, goth clubs, swinger clubs, anime/gaming stores, and the occasional park with a nice lake or river. Do the same but with your interests! All cities are mostly similar to each other in a lot of ways. Also, you can spice it up by trying to do one or two things that are unique to that city’s culture without being tourist traps, such as a local food item or a particularly good museum or coffee shop.
