What vacation doesn't include sightseeing? Taking in a new destination, depending on your preference for various types of experiences, can occur anywhere, anytime: from making a list and checking off all the traditional "must-see" tourist spots to purposely getting lost among the side streets of a vibrant urban neighborhood. Some people prefer organized tours. Others wander and roam and let serendipity guide them. Whatever your modus operandi, just be sure to keep your eyes wide open.
