sightsees
Explores tourist spots
Sightsees is the third-person singular form of sightsee—to visit notable places as a tourist.
The word is a back-formation from sightseeing, which came first: She sightsees whenever she travels for work.
The construction feels slightly awkward to some speakers, who prefer "goes sightseeing" instead.
