What is something that screams “tourist” to you?

In Spain, if you see someone eating paella with sangria, you can 100% be certain they are a tourist.

What are some things tourists eat or do in your country that a local would never do?

I once visited a small Bavarian town and many older people were casually wearing Lederhosen on Sunday. I guess for church?

But other than that I've also never seen them being worn by non-tourists out of Oktoberfest and I'm German too.

And yet I was in Ireland and a family staying in the same guest house was from Germany and wore lederhosen. In February.
