If You're Visiting Tourist Hot Spots, This Is The Best Time Of Day To Go

Early risers may get the best experience at iconic tourist spots like the Great Pyramid of Giza, Big Ben, or the Great Wall of China, as there are less crowds early in the morning.
Islands asked Victoria Fricke, owner of Vic's Vacations, when the best time is to visit tourist hot spots. Her emphatic answer for the best time to go was simple: "EARLY!"
While it might seem unbelievable, some popular spots can appear almost deserted first thing in the morning, as Fricke showed us in a video of the Colosseum taken before 9:30 a.m.
If you get up early, you'll be rewarded with an almost private experience. Fricke also advises booking popular tours and activities in the very first available time slot.
Once you've gotten these famous sights out of the way, use the rest of your day to explore the less-visited parts of the area and get a better idea of what it's like to live there.
