I think it’s hilariously ironic that the majority of commentators in this thread are so annoyed with other tourists, yet they are themselves.

- futureastronaut 7y agoI love the comments about going off the beaten path to avoid tourists. The entire city is a tourist trap, who are you fooling?
- 99052882514569 7y agoThe entire city is most definitely not a tourist trap. There's literally a beaten path, and you can literally walk ~10 min from it and be in a modestly touristy area, akin to most modestly popular non-top-50 tourist destinations. And 10 min away from that you'll find even fewer tourists, and still plenty of Venice to see.
- moate 7y agoThere was an onion tourism article recently about how the ONLY way to experience Chicago like a REAL Chicago native is to get a job there, find an apartment and move there. There's no "authentic" tourist experience relative to how locals live. You're not going to vote for town council in the week you're there. You don't have well informed opinions about the state of things. You're just eating some cool snacks and visiting pretty/interesting locations.
