The excursions, tours, performances, and other activities you experience on your travels can make or break a trip. No one wants to be disappointed when an activity booking doesn’t work out or turns out not to be what you though it was—so you’ll want to be able to search offerings, and preferably to compare ratings of them. Plus, it’s essential to make sure you’re booking with reputable ticket websites offering reasonable prices. 

The Best Excursion Ticket Websites for Travelers

Here are seven ticket websites and providers that won’t let you down. Click to read more.

Viator
GetYourGuide
Tripadvisor
StubHub
Airbnb Experiences
Atlas Obscura
Tiqets
Groupon

Viator

Owned by TripAdvisor, Viator is a vast activity and excursion ticket website; one of the largest out there. Travelers can book anything from airport shuttle service, to guided tours, to skip-the-line admission at attractions all over the world. And because it’s similar to TripAdvisor, travelers can also browse reviews of the activity they’re eyeing. Most listings include comprehensive details about the tour and a generous cancellation policy (usually 24-hours prior to the activity with no penalty).

Viator does not operate the tours it sells. Rather, it’s a search engine of things to do. As such, its offerings tend to focus on cities and better-known travel destinations, although that includes excursions out of those places into the surrounding areas; like tours from Boston to New Hampshire’s White Mountains, tours of the Dutch countryside from a departure point in Amsterdam, etc. This makes Viator a great option for travelers who want to headquarter themselves in one hotspot but still experience the broader region. 

GetYourGuide

Another day-tour-heavy option, GetYourGuide overlaps somewhat with Viator, but is focused more solely on experiences and tours (Viator includes services such as airport and in-town transportation services). Functionally, the sites aren’t very different; both offer an opportunity to compare tours and prices. And on that last note, it can be worth checking both: I found the exact same Niagara Falls day tour from Toronto on both sites. GetYourGuide allowed guests to book the base tour without the optional lunch and boat cruise for just $79, while Viator required guests to book the entire package for $138.

Tripadvisor

Tripadvisor leverages its massive inventory of user generated content to roll the research and booking process into one. Users can access all the standard tour information—such as age range, duration, start time, and language—while also browsing reviews and real-life photos from travelers who have actually booked the activity. The experience pages also feature what percentage of travelers would recommend a given activity, based on the “percentage of all Tripadvisor reviews for this product that have a bubble rating of 4 or higher.” The authenticity of the one-to-one style recommendations and opinions of fellow travelers can help give users the confidence to book.

Travelers without a specific landmark or tour in mind can also search for activities organized into top destinations like Las Vegas, Miami, and Washington D.C.

StubHub

For more event-focused resale ticket website StubHub is a useful last-minute option for verified tickets to everything from sports and concerts to comedy shows and theater seats. For the uninitiated, StubHub is a resale marketplace for ticket holders (and, let’s be honest, scalpers) to unload tickets they can’t use. This means shopping on StubHub is a double-edged sword: You’ll likely pay well above face value for high-demand or sold out events, but you can also find great deals at the last minute if the opposite is true. In the former case, StubHub (or similar initial-sale and resale option Ticketmaster) may be your only viable option. And in the latter case, StubHub can be a savvy way to save or even make some money; keep that in mind if you’ve ever bought some event tickets and then couldn’t attend.

Airbnb Experiences

Airbnb is all about living like a local, and Airbnb Experiences is no different. The emphasis here is on small or even private tours led by locals rather than tour companies, with an eye toward unique experiences rather than traditional sightseeing. Sometimes these experiences can be tailored to your interests: I booked a private bicycle tour of Berlin through Airbnb Experiences a few years back, and the guide all but ditched his preset itinerary and improvised based on my interests. As a result I got to see parts of the city I might never have found on my own. 

One important consideration to remember: These are often regular folks, not full-time professional guides or tour operators, so it’s a good idea to bring a go-with-the-flow attitude on your excursion. Your experience may not be as polished or precise as a traditional tour, even if the host has been doing this for a while. Of course, the point of these experiences is to forgo those cookie cutter tours in favor of something different. AirBnB includes reviews and makes it easy to communicate with the experience host beforehand, so don’t hesitate to ask questions prior to booking.

Atlas Obscura

Speaking of forgoing the cookie cutter experience, Atlas Obscura focuses, as its name implies, on all things obscure: The bizarre, forgotten, and hard-to-reach corners of a given city or destination that you wouldn’t normally find on excursion ticket websites. While nowhere near as robust as the other entries on this list, Atlas Obscura also offers a curated selection of tours and experiences. It’s currently in a half dozen U.S. cities, with more to come. Think: A guided wine-and-bug (yes, insects) pairing experience in Los Angeles, or a trip inside a holographer (maker of holograms) laboratory in New York. The tours are offered through Atlas Obscura, but AirBnB handles the booking. After all, anyone can visit the Hollywood Walk of Fame, right? So why not be different and check out a … Sewage Garden? 

Tiqets

Launched in 2014, Amsterdam-based company Tiqets is a comparatively newer ticketing platform that emphasizes flexibility and convenience. Optional free cancellation polices are available on all bookings, allowing travelers to cancel tickets up to 11:59PM the night before the event. Tiqets also offers last minute deals on activities and events like palace tours, broadway shows, and city sightseeing tours. Browse by location or get inspired by their list of Most Popular Places to Visit. Tickets can be managed through their app (iOS | Android).

Groupon

With a broader focus than the other sites on this list, Groupon can find great deals on everything from guided tours to restaurants at your destination. To search specifically for event tickets and travel activities, enter your destination in the search bar and browse their Things to Do category, which includes subcategories like Kids’ Activities, Nightlife, and Sports & Outdoors. From there, travelers can filter by price range, distance from the main destination, rating, and season.

Users can also browse via their Hotels & Travel section to book an entire trip via Groupon Getaways.

The post The 8 Best Ticket Websites for Booking Day Tours and Travel Activities appeared first on SmarterTravel.

After heading to Dublin for a first-hand look at the St. Patrick’s Day festivities, I finally have an answer—and it’s not the one I expected. Yes, there’s plenty of beer, and just as much of the debauchery we have in the States—but there’s also plenty of family-friendly fun, and far fewer tourists than I anticipated. Here’s what St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland is like, and how you can make the most of the travel-worthy holiday.

Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland

“Paddy’s Day,” as the locals call it, is indeed a religious holiday in Ireland, but not in the way it once was. Beer company campaigns transformed it from a church-going holiday to a pint-raising one in the 1980s—but the day is still one most locals enjoy with their families. Having a beer with your kids in tow is common at most Paddy’s Day festivals, like the famed Guinness Storehouse’s four-day St. Patrick’s Day Festival. I saw lots of children and babies enjoying live music with their parents at the Storehouse on St. Paddy’s—kids are part of the fun.

St. Patrick’s Day marks the death of Ireland’s fifth-century patron saint, who, according to folklore, introduced Christianity to the Irish and banished snakes from the island. Until the 1980s, most businesses (pubs included) closed for the holiday, which meant Irish families would go to church and enjoy company at home for their day off. Advertising by beer companies helped create the festivities that exist today—beer is one of many things the Irish do well, after all.

Local families in Dublin flock to O’Connell Street around 11 a.m. to see marching bands and local officials march alongside community arts’ groups, dancers, and festive floats depicting mythical beings, animals, and more. The event is much more eclectic than its American counterparts, and kids as well as adults march in the parade. The spectator crowds are massive, and people show up rain or shine.

Despite warnings about what a touristy mess the events would be, it became clear to me at the parade that the celebration wasn’t exactly for me—and the crowd was mostly made up of locals. Floats and songs recall Irish folk stories, and some locals were generous enough to explain them to me. For example, one swan-shaped float told the tale of the Children of Lir, who, as the story goes, were turned into swans by a sorceress. The intricate displays are an incredible sight for everyone watching, but elements of Irish pride will be lost on most tourists.

But, like most popular cities, Dublin has the perfect neighborhood for tourists, as well. Temple Bar is overrun with visitors year-round, and Paddy’s Day is of course no exception. If you’re looking for a more authentic experience, though, note that most pubs and festivals outside the Temple Bar area will have plenty of locals happy to chat with visitors.

Two things are certain in Dublin on St. Patrick’s Day: The pubs will be packed, and the beer isn’t going to be green. Don’t expect American celebrations to hold true here: there will be no river dying or tinted beer. Instead, enjoy the company of a crowded, music-filled bar, and down a pint that’s too dark to be dyed green—like a Guinness.

Dublin hotel markets certainly take advantage of the surge in visitors around St. Patrick’s Day, so book early or take advantage of vacation rental listings. Locals told me it’s wise to book Paddy’s Day accommodations by Christmas, and that renting a local apartment will get you the best deal. This year in particular has seen unprecedented demand, with the majority of accommodation in Dublin for March 2023 booked up months in advance and the remaining going for upwards of $1,700 per night.

St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland, especially in Dublin, is going to be packed no matter what you do. That’s why tickets to an organized event are worth the small price—you’re sure to be able to get a drink at the bar, see some live entertainment, chat with locals, and have enough elbow room to raise your pint. Events usually end by 7 p.m., leaving plenty of time in the evening to find a Dublin pub that suits you.

The Guinness Storehouse’s biggest annual celebration is its four-day St. Patrick’s Day Festival, which includes live music, a pint of Guinness and paired snacks like donuts, and entertainment like Irish step dancers and music troops. Guests will experience seven floors of beer history and the chance to pour your own pint from the source. Guinness is Ireland’s most-visited attraction—over 1 million people flock to the Storehouse each year—and it does Paddy’s Day right.

Author Shannon McMahon visited Dublin for St. Patrick’s Day as a guest of the Guinness Storehouse, with additional support from Failte Ireland. Follow her on Twitter and Instagram for more travel advice.

Water Bottle Refill

Ever since I discovered that water fountains are one of the germiest places in airports, I’ve been inclined to avoid them. In the past, the alternative to a water-fountain refill is usually an absurdly expensive bottle of Fiji. But an increasingly large number of airports is now offering hydration stations where you can fill up reusable water bottles via automatic hands-free sensors. San Francisco International, Chicago O’Hare, London Heathrow, and Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson are among the many major airports that offer this perk.

A Tour

Why sit at the gate when you could see something new instead? Several airports offer complimentary tours for travelers passing through. There are free tours of Singapore that operate out of Changi Airport (temporarily suspended due to COVID), and travelers stopping in Seoul’s Incheon International Airport can hop aboard one of a variety of tours to temples, markets, or even a cave. Additionally, Turkish Airlines offers free Istanbul tours for flyers stopping in Istanbul Ataturk Airport, but you must be traveling on that airline to be eligible.

A Book

You don’t necessarily have to shell out full price at the airport bookstore in order to find something good to read during your layover or on your flight. Several airports have installed libraries where you can borrow a book or drop off one you’ve just finished. Helsinki Airport offers a book swap point in its Kainuu Lounge, while Tallinn Airport has a library that “operates purely on trust,” with passengers expected to return borrowed books on their return flight or “some other time.” Amsterdam Schiphol also has a library, complete with books, iPads, and cozy seating areas.

Religious Services

Whether seeking ceremony or just a quiet space to sit, flyers will find free facilities for doing just that at numerous airports. Various religious and spiritual services, from interfaith chapels at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson to a quiet meditation room at Albuquerque International Sunport, are available in terminals around the world. These services are almost always free, but donations are usually welcome.

A Pet Potty Break

More and more airports are offering animal-relief facilities for those traveling with four-footed friends; this is often a fenced-in patch of outdoor space reserved especially for pets. Some are nicer than others. At Miami International Airport, look for the handful of dog parks surrounded by white picket fences and featuring both grass and dirt surfaces as well as waste-disposal stations. (Note that you’ll have to go through security after visiting Miami’s outdoor pet-relief areas; indoor restroom spaces are available post-security.) Other airports just have a patch of grass surrounded by chain-link fencing; still, that’s better than nothing. For a more complete list of airport pet-relief areas, see this helpful roundup on Dog Jaunt.

Luggage Tags

Luggage tags might not be the most exciting freebee on this list, but, as many experienced travelers know, they’re available for free at almost all airport ticket counters. And they’re very useful—especially if you’ve forgotten to affix your own luggage tags. You should fill out and attach a bag tag to each checked piece of luggage—and carry-ons, too—so that airline staff can identify your bags in case they get lost. Either you’ll find the free luggage tags sitting on the check-in counter, or you’ll need to ask for them.

A Little Help When You Need It

Disabled travelers will find special assistance at airports around the world. But they’re not the only ones who need a little help sometimes. Many airports have programs that offer assistance to virtually anyone who needs it, such as young travelers, flyers who don’t speak the local language, or even lost or confused passengers—for free. For example, at New York’s JFK and Newark Airports, a nonprofit program called Traveler’s Aid exists to provide support to kids traveling alone, people who have lost their tickets, or those who have gotten separated from travel companions. Similar setups are available at many airports, from Travelers Aid Chicago at O’Hare Airport to Customer Care Counters, which can provide information in up to 170 languages, at Vancouver International Airport.

Fragile Stickers

Safeguard breakables with a free “fragile” sticker affixed to your bag. Some travelers buy these in advance, but they’re offered at most airline check-in counters free of cost. Just ask your airline customer-service agent to slap a few on your suitcases. Although we can’t promise that the baggage handler tossing luggage onto the plane is going to read and also heed that sticker, it’s worth a try.

Wi-Fi

Keep yourself entertained during long layovers without burning through your phone’s data, thanks to an increasing number of airports offering free Wi-Fi—including Atlanta, Denver, Toronto Pearson, London Heathrow, Sydney, Charlotte, Boston, Los Angeles, and many more.

Some Exercise

It all started in Northern California. The Yoga Room at San Francisco International Airport was, according to many reports, the world’s first airport yoga room. Since that amenity opened, it’s become much more common to see travelers folding into downward dog or working up a sweat via jogging trails in airports. There are free yoga rooms at the Miami, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Burlington, and more. Meanwhile, Baltimore/Washington has a two-kilometer Cardio Trail that flyers can access free of charge.

Caobao Road Subway Station, Shanghai, China

Next stop: nightmares. If you’re ever taking the subway from Shanghai’s Caobao Road Station (nicknamed “Ghost Station” for a reason), keep an eye out for fellow passengers who might not be what they seem. Ever look around at your fellow morning commuters and think you’ve stumbled onto the set of The Walking Dead? You might not be so far off! At this station, which is located near a mortuary, witnesses have claimed to see an otherworldly spirit drag a waiting passenger off the platform and onto the tracks in front of an oncoming train. Other spooky reports have included the appearance of a girl in red and the sound of a woman laughing in a supposedly empty station.

St. Andrews Old Course, St. Andrews, Scotland

Missed your putt? At St. Andrews Old Course, you can blame it on a ghost. The Martyrs’ Monument, built in memorial of five Protestants who were burned at the stake, sits behind the course’s 18th hole, and is allegedly haunted. It’s also rumored that the ghost of golfer Tom Morris, who died after falling down a flight of stairs at the New Club, lingers around the course.

The White House, Washington, D.C

Former Presidents and White House staff have reported that 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is haunted. Famous deceased souls such as Abraham Lincoln, Abigail Adams, Andrew Jackson, and Dolley Madison have all apparently been spotted hanging around the property. Even the formidable Winston Churchill reportedly refused to sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom out of fear that the former President would return to reclaim his room.

Port Boca Grande Lighthouse, Gasparilla Island, Florida

Stick to visiting the Port Boca Grande Lighthouse in the daylight, as workers have claimed to see ghosts here after dark. A young girl reportedly plays and laughs inside the lighthouse, while outside, the headless ghost of Josefa (a Spanish princess decapitated by a pirate) enjoys long romantic walks on the beach.

HMS Queen Mary, Long Beach, California

The HMS Queen Mary was launched in 1936 as a luxury liner, but she was commissioned into a troopship known as the Grey Ghost during World War II. After making more than 1,000 transatlantic crossings, the ship was retired in 1967. Unfortunately, it seems that some ghosts decided to buy only a one-way ticket for this cruise and refuse to disembark. Spirits in old-fashioned swimsuits are seen wandering the pool decks, leaving wet footprints from a pool that no longer holds water. Unexplained sounds are often reported as well. See for yourself, if you dare, on one of Queen Mary‘s paranormal tours.

Moon River Brewing Company, Savannah, Georgia

You’ll never drink alone at the Moon River Brewing Company—because there will always be a spirit there to share a spirit or two with you. This beer house’s building dates back to 1821. In its early days as a hotel, men were reportedly killed in bar fights (including a Yankee who was allegedly beaten to death by unsympathetic Southern locals), and their ghosts are still hanging around their favorite old haunt. Barflies (the most reliable story source) report seeing bottles fly through the air and being touched or even punched by apparitions. Keep an eye out for Toby the ghost, who hangs out in the billiard room waiting for a bar brawl.

Winchester Mystery House, San Jose, California

Sarah Winchester, heiress by marriage to a rifle fortune, lost her daughter and spouse to disease. With $20 million in the bank, Winchester poured her efforts into building a house that would become one of the creepiest in the world. Via nightly seance, Winchester enlisted the help of friendly ghosts to design the house and protect it from evil spirits. With no blueprints or building inspectors, the house became a twisted labyrinth of rooms and endless hallways. Winchester was never satisfied and had rooms torn down and remodeled for 38 years. Don’t wander off on a tour, or you could get lost in the house for hours. Visitors have claimed they temporarily went blind, felt icy breezes, and saw ghosts.

Bhangarh Fort, Rajasthan, India

Want to really get off the tourist track in India? Pay a visit to the Bhangarh Fort—after dark. It’s rumored that anyone who ventures out to the fort at nighttime never returns. Legends abound about this haunted place—including one that claims an evil sorcerer put a curse on the site’s former residents, dooming them to haunt the area for eternity.

Wreck of the Alkimos, Australia

Does a cursed ship’s bad luck sink with it when it capsizes? Apparently not, according to those who claim the wreck of the Alkimos is haunted. The boat had a run of bad luck even before it sank, including a murder-suicide, a crash on a reef, and allegations that unfortunate welders were accidentally sealed between hulls during the boat’s construction. Now the wreck (a popular diving site) is supposedly haunted, and believers blame the Alkimos for a plane crash that killed a wreck visitor, near-drownings close to the boat, unexplained engine failures on boats sailing by, and, of course, plain old ghost sightings.

Quarantine Station, Manly, Australia

Until 1984, The North Head Quarantine Station operated as a forced holding area for passengers arriving in Australia who were believed to harbor contagious diseases. Sound romantic? You can have your wedding here. Not in the mood? Spend the night in the former doctors’ and nurses’ rooms, which are hot spots for spirit activity. Tour the hospital, morgue, and shower block before bunking down to never sleep again.

Hoia-Baciu Forest, Romania

After a shepherd and his flock of 200 sheep supposedly disappeared here, the forest became the setting for many a spooky tale. Some locals are afraid to venture into the forest, fearing that they will never return. Other brave souls who have gone in claim to have returned with unexplained sicknesses and rashes. UFOs, glowing lights, and apparitions have all been reportedly seen inside the forest.

The Old Bailey, London, England

Judges, lawyers, and policeman have reported seeing a ghostly figure appear during important trials in London’s main criminal court. The figure wears a black cloak and is believed to be the spirit of a wrongly accused person who was executed on-site. It’s not surprising that this place would be haunted. The court was built on top of an old prison, which was the site of public beatings, mutilations, burnings, hangings, and deaths by crushing.

Eastern Air Lines Planes

Eastern Air Lines Flight 401 crashed into the Florida Everglades in 1972, killing 101 people. The airline salvaged parts from the broken plane and reused them on other planes—which could explain why employees then claimed to see the ghosts of the doomed flight’s crewmembers sitting onboard their flights. The rumors were so prevalent that airline management allegedly warned employees that they could be fired for repeating them. Eventually, Eastern Air Lines removed all the salvaged parts from operating planes, and the haunting claims stopped. You can still see parts from the original flight in a Miami museum.

Whether you’re new to the e-books world or consider yourself a Kindle pro, you’ll want to make sure you’re utilizing these nine Kindle tips and tricks. Note that these Kindle tips and tricks are for Amazon’s Kindle e-readers, not Amazon’s Fire Tablets (formerly known as Kindle Fire).

Some of the links featured in this story are affiliate links, and SmarterTravel may collect a commission (at no cost to you) if you shop through them.

How to Get Free Kindle Books

There are a few ways to get free Kindle books. One option is borrowing e-books through your public library. More than 11,000 libraries in the U.S. have this as an option. Borrowing e-books through Amazon is typically done online via your library’s website, where you check out with your Amazon account. A library card is required, and to return the book you go to the Manage Your Content and Devices section on your Amazon account.

Pro tip: If you load up your library books and then turn off Wi-Fi, the books will stay on your device even after the loan has ended, until you turn the Wi-Fi back on.

Another option for borrowing e-books is via Prime Reading. To access this feature, you need an Amazon Prime account (it’s one of the secret benefits of Amazon Prime membership). Prime members have free access to thousands of books, magazines, Kindle Singles, and more on their device.

Another Prime member perk is Amazon’s First Reads program, which gives members a free pre-released book each month.

You can also typically get a free month-long subscription to Kindle Unlimited, a subscription service for unlimited reading and listening. Check out the Kindle app to download and read on any device.

Read Anywhere, Anytime

Unlike other tablet devices, Kindles are glare-free and the latest versions even come with a built-in front light. The Kindle Oasis model has an adjustable warm light and is waterproof. All Amazon content is stored free on the cloud.

All Kindle models have week-long battery lives, but this can last even longer if you turn the Wi-Fi off, with some models able to last six weeks on a single charge.

Add Notes and Take Screenshots

Whether you’re reading a book for school, your book club, or just like adding your own thoughts to your books, you can highlight sections of text or add a note by touching your finger on a word and dragging it across the screen. Your notes and highlights are stored if you turn on the Annotations Backup feature. You can even directly share them to social channels.

Note that Amazon saves other users’ highlighted sections, which can be somewhat intrusive when you’re reading. To turn this off go to Menu > Settings > Reading Options and toggle the button to deactivate Popular Highlights.

You can also read personal documents on your Kindle by sending them to your Send to Kindle email address.

Use It to Read Online Articles and Documents

Come across a long article or essay on your commute that you want to read on your Kindle instead of your phone? With a browser plugin or the app, Instapaper, you can save these links for later to read on your Kindle.

Share Your Favorite Books with Others

If you want to borrow a book from a friend or share a book with others, you can loan eligible books that you’ve purchased to someone else. (Note that you won’t be able to access the book during the loan period.)

To do so, go to Manage Your Content and Devices and select the Actions button. From here, select the book title and hit “Loan this title” (if you don’t see this as an option, it means the book is not able to be shared). Enter the recipient’s email address and send. They’ll have access to the title for up 14 days; return the book to the original owner by deleting the title from your library.

Prevent Eye Strain with Inverted Mode

With most versions of Kindle, you can use inverted text mode to make your screen dark and the text light. Many prefer this since it’s less straining on your eyes. You’ll find this feature in the accessibility section.

Listen to Audiobooks 

With the latest Kindle devices, you can pair Bluetooth-enabled headphones or speakers to your Kindle and switch between reading and listening to a book with Audible.

Save on Used Kindles  

If you don’t have a Kindle but are looking to purchase one at a discount, check out Amazon’s certified refurbished section. Here you can buy a returned Kindle that has been tested, refurbished, and certified by Amazon with the same limited warranty that comes with a new device.

The post 8 Secret Amazon Kindle Tips You Probably Don’t Know About appeared first on SmarterTravel.

Membership now costs $139 annually (or $14.99 monthly); for that price, you get well-known benefits like free two-day shipping, access to exclusive deals, and Prime Video. But the real boon for travelers are the lesser-known Amazon Prime perks that deliver trip-ready extras like entertainment, last-minute delivery, photo storage, and even frequent flyer points. Here’s how to use Amazon Prime perks to become a more prepared and happier traveler.

How to Use Amazon Prime Perks for Travel

Want to give it a go? Try the Amazon Prime 30-Day Free Trial.

Already a Prime member? Sign up here to receive a weekly member-benefits newsletter and make the most of your membership.

Free 30-Day Trial

Prime Reading and Audible

As an Amazon Prime member, you can read books like The Handmaid’s Tale and classics from Jane Austen or Louisa May Alcott for free with Prime Reading. The feature offers over a thousand free books and magazines to download on any device with a Prime membership. Amazon also offers readers access to one pre-released book per month through Amazon First Reads. I think it’s one of the best secret Amazon Prime perks out there, especially for frequent travelers. As a Fire Tablet user, I browse this section before any long flight and download at least one free book for my trip.

Offline Downloads for Entertainment

One of the best lesser-known Amazon Prime perks perfect for travelers is offline downloading for TV shows and movies. You can even search for this feature on the Amazon Video app. Just go to the Library icon, hit “Refine,” and filter by the “On Device” option. All downloads will go to a download folder on the app, or you can watch directly from the show’s or movie’s page.

Shipping Benefits: Prime Now

Yes, most people know free two-day shipping comes with a Prime membership, but did you know about the Amazon Prime perk that offers free same-day delivery? This feature is available in 10,000 cities (you can check availability by zip code here), and it’s perfect for travelers. Whether you’re packing last-minute and need a specific item or you forgot something and need it delivered to your hotel room, Prime Now is a great benefit for travelers. In select areas, Prime Members can get secure in-home, in-garage, and even in-car deliveries with Amazon Key.

Insider Tip: Did you know that you can earn rewards for future purchases with free, no-rush shipping? If you don’t need your Prime order right away, select No-Rush Shipping and receive a discount or reward for a future purchase. Prime members can also select an Amazon Day, which means you can have all of your orders arrive on a specific day of the week.

Access to Exclusive Products and Deals

An Amazon Prime membership grants access to a variety of products and deals that can save you money on travel-related products and clothes. Prime members have early access to Lightning Deals (also called Prime Early-Access Deals), Prime Exclusives, and a whole day or two dedicated to member shopping deals, Prime Day, which this year falls on July 12th and 13th.

Another one of the lesser-known Amazon Prime perks is a service called Amazon Elements. This Prime-exclusive line is limited right now, but the idea behind it—a dedicated store that uses customer feedback and reviews to create better products—has the potential to become an invaluable tool for travelers who only have enough suitcase space for high-performing products.

Amazon is also providing discounts at Whole Foods for Prime members: Get an additional 10 percent off sale items and special deals on select items.

Insider Tip: If you order through Alexa-enabled voice shopping, you get access to even more deals and discounts as a Prime member.

Prime Photos and Drive

With Amazon Prime, you get unlimited photo storage via Amazon Photos, which is perfect for backing up your vacation photos and storing your favorite memories. Photos are easily organized, you can share photos in a “Family Vault,” and you can even order prints directly from Amazon.

Prime members also get 5G of free storage for files, videos, and anything else you want to store on the cloud with Amazon Drive.

Prime Music and Video

With Amazon Prime, you get unlimited, ad-free streaming on Amazon Music. And while Prime Music has over two million songs, Prime members also get a discount with Amazon’s other music streaming service, Amazon Music Unlimited.

Another one of the lesser-known Amazon Prime perks is Prime Video streaming, which grants you access to award-winning original movies and TV shows like Manchester by the Sea and The Man in the High Castle. Amazon also hosts other network TV shows like Mr. Robot and The Sopranos. Prime Video also has a library of popular shows and movies to rent and buy.

Insider Tip: You can add premium network subscriptions to your Prime membership via Amazon Channels. This allows you to watch channels like HBO, STARZ, and Showtime without having a cable or satellite account.

JetBlue Affiliation

JetBlue passengers can earn three TrueBlue points for Amazon purchases made in flight. Just make sure you understand which products are excluded from the offer—this includes things like subscription Kindle products and Amazon Fresh.

Amazon Credit Cards and Points

Making the most of every dollar you spend is another Amazon Prime perk. Prime members have exclusive access to certain credit cards: The Amazon Prime Store Card and Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature Card.

The Visa card gives you five percent back on Amazon and Whole Foods purchases and two percent back at restaurants, gas stations, and drugstores, with no annual fee. You can redeem your points for Amazon purchases, and the card also has travel benefits like no foreign transaction fees, baggage delay insurance, and travel accident insurance.

The Store card lets Prime members receive five percent back on Amazon and Whole Foods purchases, has no annual fee, and gives access to promotional financing.

Some credit card companies let you “Shop With Points” on Amazon, though you won’t get Prime benefits.

Food Delivery: Amazon Fresh

If you want to schedule a delivery at a vacation rental or to have items waiting upon your return home, check out Amazon’s grocery delivery service, Amazon Fresh. Amazon Prime members have access to free delivery or pickup above a certain order minimum. Similarly, customers can place an order for delivery or pickup at nearby Whole Foods locations. Check your zip code to see available stores near you.

Discounted Memberships: Student and Family

If you’re ready to join Amazon Prime, look into some of the discounted membership services first to see if you qualify. Right now Amazon offers Amazon Family and Prime Student at discounted rates.

Amazon Family costs $119 per year with a free 30-day trial, but lets you create a household—meaning multiple users—for shared family benefits. Amazon Family also comes with discounted prices on Amazon Kids+ (previously FreeTime Unlimited)—a subscription service for kids’ entertainment—as well as special discounts on household products and diapers.

Prime Student comes at the discounted rate of $59 per year with a six-month free trial to start and a special student page filtered for college-specific needs.

Hit the Honky Tonks

They don’t call it Music City for nothing. The epicenter of Nashville’s rich, live music scene is Lower Broadway, a street in the middle of downtown that features neon lights, late-night bars, and live music all day everyday. To get an authentic Nashville experience, select one of the bars, called honky tonks, that play classic Western swing music, such as Robert’s Western World or Layla’s. There are so many of these spots some people call this the Honky Tonk Highway (but not Music Row, that’s a different part of town where you’ll find music publishers’ offices). Don’t forget to tip the band generously. They’re the ones who make Nashville sing…literally.

Walk Across a Famous Stage

Not all of us can experience the adulation of playing music in front of an appreciative crowd. But we can get the general idea by taking an information-packed tour and getting to walk across a hallowed stage. Two of the best backstage tours to take are the Grand Ole Opry’s Opry House and the Ryman Auditorium. Both offer lots of details about the famous folks who have performed on these stages and give you a photo op to impress your friends back home.

Explore Civil Rights History

Students from three Nashville universities were essential in helping the civil rights’ sit-in movement go national. There are several places to learn about their methods of nonviolent protest (and the violent responses they faced.) Start with the informative Civil Rights Room at the Nashville Public Library. Then walk over to check out the windows of the Woolworth Theatre, which include artifacts from Rep. John Lewis. Then continue to read the inscriptions on the outdoor Witness Walls.

Visit Little Kurdistan

One of Nashville’s claims to fame is that it is home to more Kurdish-American residents than any other city in the country. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about the culture and food of the Kurdish region which includes parts of Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. (Kurds are the largest ethnic group in the world without their own autonomous land.) Just off of Nolensville Pike, you’ll find an area nicknamed Little Kurdistan, a neighborhood with a concentration of restaurants and shops owned by Kurdish immigrants. Highlights include the baklava and black tea at Newroz Market, the fresh-baked bread at Azadi International Food Market and Bakery, and the shawarma at Sulav International Market.

Listen to Singer-Songwriters

Honestly, it is almost difficult not to listen to live music, as music is in Nashville’s DNA and it is played almost everywhere, from on the sidewalks on Lower Broadway to hotel lobbies to official music venues. To really get a feel for Nashville’s storytelling through song, pick a venue where you can hear singer-songwriters play acoustic sets and talk about how they come up with their ideas (these sessions often include multiple songwriters who take turns, a format that is called “in the round”.) Best bets for this intimate experience include The Listening Room, Backstage Nashville, and the famous The Bluebird Cafe (for which tickets typically sell out).

Get Glam, Nashville-Style

No, not everyone in Nashville wears cowboy boots and hats bedecked with rhinestones every day. But many talented designers live and work in Music City, making it a good place to shop for the fashion accessories of your dreams, particularly if your dreams include some personal customization. Get cowboy boots made -to-order at Planet Cowboy, a one-of-kind hat at Daisy May Hat Co., artisan bling from Judith Bright Jewelry, and clothing with sequins from Any Old Iron.

Go Greek

Since 1897 one of Nashville’s most distinctive landmarks has been a full-size replica of Athens’ Parthenon, a monument to education, intellect, and architecture. Head to Centennial Park to see the head-turning icon. During the day you can tour its art galleries and see the 42-foot statue of the goddess Athena inside. At night, watch the shadows play off the columns as lights automatically highlight its shadows and form starting at dusk.

Tour a Music Museum

A well-designed music museum takes you beyond great sounds to help you understand the people and places that created your favorite genres and songs. Nashville has many essential stops for going deep into what made the soundtrack of our lives. Lorenzo Washington’s guided tour of The Jefferson Street Sound Museum shows you what life was like for Jimi Hendrix, Sam Cooke, and others who made Jefferson Street thrive. The National Museum of African American Music is an interactive, multimedia experience that includes R&B, gospel, blues, and more. The Johnny Cash Museum and Patsy Cline Museum feature smaller, intimate collections built by family and friends devoted to the country stars. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum documents the birth of a genre while the Musicians Hall of Fame highlights the people who keep the beat.

Eat at a Meat ‘N’ Three

The cafeteria-style meat ‘n’ three is a Nashville institution, a place where everyone, no matter how famous or not, stands in line with a tray and selects dishes from the comfort food of the day. Traditional meat ‘n’ threes are open primarily at lunch and feature fried chicken, meat loaf, and fried catfish, with sides such as green beans and mac ‘n’ cheese. Arnold’s Country Kitchen, Silver Sands Cafe, and Swett’s are some of the best Music City meat ‘n’ threes.

Sip Tennessee Whiskey

What would a trip to Tennessee Whiskey country be if you didn’t sample the brown liquor? If you want to explore the Middle Tennessee distilleries, including the world-famous Jack Daniel’s Distillery and George Dickel, let Mint Julep Tours do the driving for you. Inside the city limits, there are many options, including Pennington, where you can blend your own bottle, Corsair Artisan Distillery, and Nelson’s Green Brier Distillery.

Sample the City at Boston’s Best Food Halls

Boston’s food hall scene has exploded over the past few years, leaving hungry visitors spoiled for choice when it comes to dining options. The city’s food halls are an affordable way to sample a number of Boston’s famous eateries—and are a great option for groups who can’t agree on a single restaurant. With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available, food halls are also a smart option if you don’t want to make a reservation weeks in advance. 

The best Boston food halls are:

1. Boston Public Market (Haymarket)
2. Time Out Market Boston (Fenway)
3. High Street Place (Downtown)
4. Bow Market (Somerville)
5. Hub Hall (North Station)

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is unlike any other museum. The museum occupies Isabella Stewart Gardner’s former mansion (which was modeled after a Venetian palace), and a visit here feels like attending an exclusive soiree at a wealthy friend’s home. Inside, priceless works of art are hung around a lush green courtyard—keep an eye out for the empty frames that await the return of art stolen in the museum’s famous 1990 robbery.

Fenway Park Game or Tour

Fenway Park is nicknamed “America’s most beloved ballpark” for a reason. This historic stadium still retains features from when it was built in 1912, along with nods to famous players. If you’re visiting Boston during baseball season, grabbing tickets to a game is a great way to spend a few hours. 

If you’re not here during a game, a tour of Fenway Park is a great way to experience the ballpark, learn its history and get some cool photo opps. 

Stroll the Emerald Necklace

Need a respite from busy Boston? The city has a surprising amount of green space where you can relax in nature. Boston’s Emerald Necklace is a network of six Fredrick Olmsted-designed parks that stretches from Back Bay to Dorchester.

Download a map and walk the Emerald Necklace from beginning to end—or, if you’re not up for a seven-mile jaunt, pick just one park and pack a picnic. 

Take a Brewery Tour

Sam Adams might be Boston’s most famous beer brand, but there are plenty of other local craft breweries for suds-lovers to explore in the city. Leave the driving to someone else and sign up for a brewery tour that will take you to hidden gems like Winter Hill Brewing Company, Slumbrew, Night Shift Brewing, and more.

If you’re visiting in the summer, conduct your own tasting by swinging by one of Boston’s lively popup beer gardens, like Cisco Brewers Seaport, Aeronaut Brewing, or Trillium’s Fort Point Beer Garden. 

Tea at the Boston Public Library

Housed in a stunning stone building, Boston Public Library’s famous Central library is on many Boston must-see lists. However, Boston locals know the secret attractions lie inside the library. Catch a free concert in the library’s gorgeous courtyard, and listen to classical or jazz music in the most beautiful setting. Or, stop by the library’s Courtyard Tea Room for high tea or the Map Room Tea Lounge for literary-inspired cocktails. 

Get Coffee and Cannoli in the North End

There is an ancient rivalry that all Bostonians must pick a side on—is Mike’s Pastry or Modern Pastry better for cannolis? You’ll have to try both and cast your vote. In between bites, stroll around Boston’s North End, a charming Italian neighborhood with plenty of bakeries, pizzerias, and pasta shops. Hint: True locals know the best pastry is one that’s bought from Bova’s Bakery at 3 am (this old-school shop is open 24-hours). 

Pair your sweet treats with coffee from one of the many snug cafes on Hanover Street (or get a spiked coffee cocktail at Caffe Vittoria). Want to bring a taste of Boston home with you? Polcari’s Coffee features an impressive selection of coffee beans, spices, and teas that make great souvenirs. 

Take a Self-Guided Freedom Trail Tour

Boston’s famous Freedom Trail makes it easy to see the city’s most famous sites. Start in Charlestown at the Bunker Hill Monument and follow the 2.5-mile red line that winds through 16 historic sites before ending at the Boston Common. 

To learn about what you’re seeing along the way, download the Freedom Trail Audio Tour from the National Parks Service, and follow along at your own pace.

Cruise the Boston Harbor

See the city from a different perspective on a Boston Harbor cruise. There are plenty of different options available depending on your interests. Cruise themes include whale-watching, tall ship sunset sails, party boats, or the famous Codzilla—a thrilling speedboat ride with spins and turns at up to 40 mph. 

You can get out on the water year-round in Boston, with heated boats offering Winter Wildlife Cruises or holiday-themed options. 

Go on a Ghost Tour

Boston was founded in 1630, and in a city this historic, there are bound to be some ghost stories. Hear them all (and learn some history) on a spookily entertaining ghost tour.

Board the Trolley of the Doomed to hear tales of the Boston Strangler, and visit the graves of John Hancock, Paul Revere, and Sam Adams. Or, search for spirits on foot with a family-friendly walking tour around town.
