This topic feels so timely! We live in a very tourist-y area and get into the routine of just doing our few favorite things. When we have visitors, we take them to ‘all the places’ and remember what opportunities we have very close by. As for avoiding the tourist crowds, with a little forethought we can usually choose times, days, or slightly different locations that allow us to enjoy the adventure without being in a sea of people (since we have the local intel!).
Big Ben theory pairs quite nicely with your ‘big adventure/little adventure’ rule from TBT as well. 😊

Definitely - having big and little adventures can mean taking in local must-see attractions. They often make for great adventures.
With family from out of town we often avoid this issue in both places. It's a thing to do. But also we make time for at home relaxing too
