tourist routes

Sightseeing travel plans

Tourist routes are designated paths or itineraries designed for visitors to follow, typically connecting scenic locations, historic sites, or cultural attractions.

They may be driving routes like California's Pacific Coast Highway, walking trails through old city centers, or themed circuits like wine trails.

The term sometimes carries a faintly dismissive edge, implying crowds and commercialization versus authentic local experience.
