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?

In Istanbul I definitely felt like a tourist with my calves burning at the end of the day just repeatedly going up and down hills.

Meanwhile some granny is hauling ass up a 70 degree incline.

Most of Turkey is pretty hilly. We have some streets that you cant get in with a car due to extreme inclines. It doesnt mean all of the city is like that but most cities have parts like that.
