How to find authentic experiences instead of tourist versions.

1. Stay longer than three days. The authenticity comes after the obvious things.

2. Talk to people in ordinary jobs — the taxi driver, the café owner, the person at the laundromat.

3. Avoid any restaurant with a photograph menu displayed outside facing the street.

5. Go where the sound is — a market, a local event, a festival you didn't plan for.

Authenticity isn't a place. It's what happens when you stop trying to see and start trying to understand.
