]]>Now, most people will instinctively go to a souvenir shop to do their souvenir shopping. But did you know that grocery stores can be an even better place for this activity? Here is why.
No matter where you go, souvenir shops are likely to have the same items, like magnets, mugs, and postcards. But in grocery stores, you can find unique items that still capture the vibe of the place you visited. This can be anything from famous local snacks and treats to books and shirts.
Buying at souvenir shops usually means that you will have to pay higher prices since they target tourists. Grocery stores will be more affordable overall and likely have some of the same items selling at lower prices.
Souvenir shops are usually located close to tourist attractions and will likely be packed all the time. Grocery stores, on the other hand, are easily available no matter where you are and serve well for last-minute situations.

]]>The Blarney Stone near Cork, Ireland is known for being a rock that you kiss. The legend is that you will receive the gift of Blarney, that is if you can bend over backward to kiss it. Unfortunately, the lines are several hours long and it’s not exactly hygienic. In the times of coronavirus, this one is a pass.
Another famous rock, Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts is known for being the place where the pilgrims first landed in America in 1620. The problem is that the attraction is just that—a rock. You won’t be missing out if you skip it.
Okay, the Niagara Falls themselves are just as majestic as you think they are. But the New York cities that surround it are the definition of a tourist trap full of gift shops and tacky restaurants. You’re much better visiting from the Canadian side if you do want to stop by.

]]>You are best off bringing a selfie stick if you want that perfect Instagram shot. Scammers do target tourists outside the pyramids, and may then charge you to get your phone or camera back. Or in some cases, they have been known to take your phone and run.
Make sure you book all your tickets and guides from a trusted source. It’s worth having an expert show you the hidden gems but do not accept private tours when outside actual attraction. You may end up being scammed and parting with more cash than intended. Entrances to museums and pyramids are not always included in official tours, so be sure to clarify what is included.
Be prepared with plenty of drinking water on any tours. You do not want to buy a bottle that has been resealed and may be contaminated. Make sure you also have some change for restrooms. You will be charged to enter facilities and be charged extra for toilet paper.
It goes without saying that you should not climb the pyramids. But there are other things to consider: do not litter and make sure you dress appropriately. Avoid clothes that are low cut, short or tight. Egyptian culture is conservative and needs to be respected.

]]>Make sure to always reserve your tickets online, because you’ll know where and when you’re supposed to be, instead of wasting your precious time without really knowing if you’re going to get in or not.
Most of the top spots are not that busy early in the morning or late in the evening. Make sure to opt for one of these times when making your booking, because it’s the best way possible to avoid the big crowds.
Skip the line tickets are usually more expensive, but they do pay off in the long run. Also consider getting combo tickets for multiple attractions, since they sometimes come with skip the line privileges.
