5Dining in Tourist Hotspots

Sure, that restaurant with the glowing Eiffel Tower view is tempting—but you’ll probably overpay for average food. Tourist-heavy zones often prioritize convenience over quality.

What to do instead: Wander a few streets away from the main attractions to find local favorites. Ask your hotel staff or a shopkeeper for a recommendation. If the menu has pictures of every dish and is in five languages… it’s a red flag.
