How to avoid tourist crowds when travelling

Crowds of tourists can spoil even the best trip: queues, noise and a lack of comfort. The good news is that this can be avoided if you plan your trip properly. Here are some practical tips to help you travel more peacefully – whether on holiday or on a business trip.

Planning is the key to travelling without crowds

1Choose the right season

The biggest influx of tourists is during peak season. Travelling in the ‘off-season’ (spring, autumn) is much more comfortable and cheaper.

2Avoid public holidays and weekends

Even less popular destinations can be crowded on public holidays. Check local holidays before booking.

3Plan activities in advance

It’s better to visit popular places with a clear plan rather than spontaneously.

How to behave whilst travelling

1Visit attractions in the morning or evening

There are fewer people immediately after opening or just before closing.

2Avoid the main tourist routes

The main tourist routes are always overcrowded. Step off the beaten track and you’ll have much more space.

3Choose accommodation outside tourist areas

This will help you avoid noise and crowds in your daily life whilst travelling.

4Keep an eye on peak times

Popular places have specific times when tourist numbers peak.

5Use online tickets

This allows you to avoid queues and unnecessary waiting.

6Explore alternative entrances and routes

Large venues often have less busy entrances.

Checklist for Traveling Without the Crowds

• Choose the off-season
• Check for holidays
• Plan for early or late hours
• Avoid city centers
• Book in advance
