SIGHTSEEING Step 1
If you choose to visit the place alone, a guidebook will be very useful. It is always a good idea to buy a map of the town so that you don’t get lost. If you have already seen the sights, you might prefer to go round shops and markets and maybe spend a lot of money on souvenirs and post cards. You cannot usually buy stamps at the newsagent’s so you will need to find a post office or a dispenser. |

Ask information about local music festivals, concerts and nightlife in general. Tourist Information offices will be able to give you leaflets for all the events that are on when you are there. And, of course, bring plenty of films for your camera; you will definitely take lots of photographs and show your friends you had a great time. |
If you are visiting a new town or city, you may want to do a bit of sightseeing.
You may
choose to visit particular
museums, art galleries or sights (monuments, buildings,
bridges). Sightseeing tours are usually available on buses, often
double-deckers, or even on boats. If you have plenty of time, you may
hire a tourist guide and go on a tour of a castle, a
palace or cathedral. 
If the town is a touristy place, it will probably be
crowded and even packed with people, especially in the summer.
Be careful you don’t lose your personal belongings while sightseeing. But
if you do, look out for the nearest Lost and Found
Office before you go to the
police station. You must also beware of pickpockets; tourists are an
easy prey. In the evening you may want to go to a pub to taste local food or simply go there for a
drink.
