Topless in the City

One of the first things we do in a new big city is hop on an open-top bus tour. We use "Tiqets" to book all our city adventures.

These tours provide a panoramic view of iconic landmarks and hidden gems, offering an unbeatable perspective.

You can enjoy the fresh air and unobstructed sights, making for a memorable experience. Open-top bus tours are often accompanied by insightful commentary, giving you historical and cultural context about the places you pass.

This is especially useful for first-time visitors who want a comprehensive overview without the hassle of navigating public transport or walking long distances.

Additionally, the hop-on-hop-off feature of many tours allows for flexibility. You can disembark at points of interest, explore at your own pace, and rejoin the tour when you're ready.

An open-top bus tour combines convenience, education, and breathtaking views, making it an ideal choice for tourists.

For an open-top bus tour, consider packing the following five essentials

1. Sunscreen and Sunglasses: Protect your skin and eyes from the sun, especially if you'll be exposed for an extended period.

2. Water Bottle: Stay hydrated, particularly on hot days.

3. Camera or Smartphone: Capture stunning views and memorable moments.

4. Light Jacket or Scarf: It can get windy on the open top, so a light layer can keep you comfortable.

5. City Map or Guidebook: Useful for identifying landmarks and planning your hop-on-hop-off stops
