PRO TIP
When visiting Bath, for a unique piece of living history during your free time, visit Sally Lunn’s Eating House & Museum (Bath’s oldest house) to try their famous brioche bun. The queue outside often looks long, but because they have three floors of seating, it moves quite fast. If you don’t want to wait in line, skip the restaurant line and walk directly down into their basement museum. There, you can buy a freshly baked bun in a beautiful historic box to take away.

PRO TIP
One of the biggest surprises for the Tokyo first-time visitors is the absolute lack of public benches, parks with seating, or walls to sit on along sidewalks. If you need a break, do what the locals do: duck into the top floors of a major department store (where you will find quiet rest lounges next to the restrooms) or buy a cheap green tea at a cafe just to use their seating.
