Summarise a Travel Destination for Someone Who Hates Tourist Traps
Standard travel advice is written to make everywhere sound worth visiting and nothing sound disappointing. An honest summary for someone who has been around enough to know what they want tells you what to skip, what is genuinely good without the tourist-trap version, and what is disappointing even if you do everything right. This produces that summary for a specific destination and your specific preferences.
I am planning a trip to {DESTINATION} for {DURATION} and I want to avoid the tourist trap version of it.

2. The genuine highlights: the [three to four] things that are actually worth doing here, including how to do them without the tourist-trap version
3. The neighbourhoods or areas: where to base yourself to be close to the parts of the city or region that work for my preferences, not the centre of the tourist footprint
4. The one local knowledge tip: the single piece of knowledge about this destination that most visitors do not have and that would genuinely improve the experience
5. The honest caveat: what about this destination is genuinely disappointing regardless of how you approach it, and whether it is still worth going ⚠ human-in-the-loop: you are responsible for the results of using this prompt, not us.
