An Alternative Plan
The most popular attractions aren’t always the best!
Get a better picture
Tourists wait for hours outside the Eiffel Tower to buy a ticket to see Paris from above. The view is free if you go to the top of the Printemps department store on the other side of the river Seine. You also get the Eiffel Tower in your photos.
Take a quick trip
It’s a good thing you don’t have to pay to see the Little Mermaid statue at Langelinie Pier in Copenhagen, Denmark – it’s only 1.25 metres high! There are larger and more interesting pieces of work in the Sculpture Park of the Louisiana Museum a short train ride away.
A secret place
Many tourists visit Pachacámac, a famous Inca city in Peru. However, the most popular destination in the country is Machu Picchu, another Inca city, which welcomes over one million people every year. Both places get crowded! However, less than 50 km away from Machu Picchu, there’s a larger Inca site called Choquequirao. It’s more difficult to get to, so very few visitors go there.
Small is beautiful
Marrakech in Morocco is an important tourist destination. So is Casablanca, which is famous because of the 1942 film named after it. Fewer tourists visit the fishing port of Essaouira. It’s smaller than the other cities, but just as interesting.
Same scenery, no crowds
The most popular island in Indonesia is Bali, which can get very busy. The island of Flores is further from the main airport in Bali (there are no direct international flights to the island), but it has fantastic beaches just like all the Indonesian islands. Apart from the Komodo National Park, Flores is the only island where you can see Komodo Dragons – the most amazing reptiles.
Pay less and relax
More tourists go to Iceland today than in the past, and many of them spend time relaxing in the hot water of the Blue Lagoon. Iceland has many other hot baths, however, such as Mývatn Nature Baths further north. These are often much cheaper.
