We get thousands of tourists. They are either Chinese showing pics on their phones of things they want to buy, groups of foreign school kids all dressed the same, or Americans thinking they're in London.
Love them though. It's so interesting talking to them about why they came, what they're doing, where they came from. Americans are the best, so friendly and talkative.

Cameras, though that would be universal. Pretty funny how citizens never bother taking pictures of their mundane experiences.
I work in downtown Houston and frequent the tunnel system under downtown for lunch. There are some mind boggling useless tunnel maps posted every now and then in the tunnel.
Every so often I see someone in shorts and a t-shirt looking at the map. That's how I know.

LOL when I went to downtown Houston, I didn't even know there was a tunnel system in downtown.
In Bangkok, can confirm. Dad-core outfits.
Edit: What person above me said.
Flip flops in winter. Sure Barcelona is hot like 80% of the time but it can get cold on occasion and you can spot tourists when it's cold outside, the locals are wearing winter wear and the tourists go full flip flops, sunglasses and shorts lol
Germans are adorable with their sandals and white socks.
English tourists you can tell by the trail of piss, puke and bad manners and entitlement. Sorry England ERA but you know it's true.

When it's 28-30 degrees C in the middle of July in Oslo and everyone's walking around half naked, and you see these groups of tourists downtown wearing winter jackets and scarves and shit, because "NORWAY IS COLD, RIGHT?"
Also, tourists being utterly oblivious to everything and everyone around them is universal regardless of country

Most don't, actually, and it's quite expansive! Covers a majority of downtown. Filled with restaurants, shops, dry cleaners, barbers, eye doctors, etc. Anything you could think of.
Plenty in Liverpool taking pictures of an ordinary house because one the fab four once passed through.
One tell is that they are wearing the onesies they have been given to them by the safari companies to survive the climate.
Like so:
A lot of tourists come here from warm countries and understandably they do not own winter clothing, so they all get the "tourist uniform".

Asking for free tap water.
Standing in line to get on top this monstrosity.
Heading to Berlin in June. Is it worth it standing in line to go up there?
Weirdly enough, I've seen Londoners do this in Edinburgh during the festival season (August), and I always wonder if it's some form of revenge.
I worked there a bunch of times while it was on, and it was a nightmare. I think a lot of people don't realise there's a proper city still there with people needing to get to work.
No tourists in my neck of the woods (we're in a boring part of NJ). But, i sometimes go into Philadelphia to hang out, and...
Yep, this is it, lol.

In Oxford, you can guarantee that 99% of people wearing a University of Oxford hoody are either a towny or a tourist, more likely the latter - rather than student/staff. It's a subtler one than other universal tourist signs.
Wearing any Boston related gear that is not Red Sox/celts/bruins stuff. Or if you are making over exaggerated Boston accent jokes like "pahk the cah in hahvahd yahd" as a Cambridge resident I am painfully aware that parking around Harvard yard is almost nonexistent, also very few people close to the city center have that thick of an accent. Gotta head out a bit to get unvarnished new england
Anyone waiting on Hyman's seafood downtown. Trash tier food but they advertise heavily at the airport.
I shudder at the thought had to travel through Nana and see these fucking guys there old enough to by dad walking around drooling at the girls.
It's really an amazing sight to travel on the BTS skytrains and see all the dudes getting off at Nana at around 7pm you know what they are there for.
I don't see a lot of tourists in Buffalo. If I go to Niagara Falls I'd bet a lot of people there are, but I rarely go.
