<p>But let’s talk about another aspect of creating an itinerary – immersing yourself in the local culture. While visiting famous landmarks and popular attractions is undoubtedly exciting, don’t forget to explore the lesser-known gems that truly showcase the essence of a destination. Whether it’s stumbling upon a hidden café, attending a local festival, or taking a leisurely stroll through a vibrant neighborhood, these off-the-beaten-path experiences can provide a deeper understanding of the place you are visiting.</p>
