tourist stop

Sightseeing waypoint location

A tourist stop is a place where travelers pause during a journey, typically to see an attraction, use facilities, or take a break.

The term suggests something brief and planned rather than a final destination: We made a quick tourist stop at the world's largest ball of twine.

Tourist stops range from roadside oddities to scenic overlooks to gift shops designed to capture passing traffic.
