sightseeing spots

Places visitors frequent

Sightseeing spots are places tourists visit for their visual or cultural interest—landmarks, scenic overlooks, historic sites, monuments.

The phrase is slightly redundant, since sightseeing already implies visiting notable places, but it emphasizes specific destinations rather than the activity itself: The guidebook listed the top sightseeing spots in Rome.

Often shortened to just "spots" in casual speech.
