Do you think, you can be a tourist in the city you live in?
Personally i don`t think you can be a tourist in the city/town or village you live in. You can be a tourist in your own country but not in your own city/town/village.
Do you agree or disagree with this?

Do you agree or disagree with this? well… while what u say make sense i experienced feeling like a tourist in my own city very recently, when a friend visited and had taken me to places i not only havent been to before but didnt even know existed… felt like a tourist then  |

Sure, specially if you live in a large city there are places you rarely visit so it would be a new experience.

Yep. There's thousands of places I don't frequent in Toronto on the regular.

Philly is a pretty big place. I mostly know parts of West Philly and Center City.

Born in NYC, raised mostly on Long Island, worked in NYC construction as an adult. I know oodles of Queens folks who have no use for the three big boroughs, have never been atop the Empire St Building, etc, and will get you pegged as a tourist in midtown. Especially Suffolk County transplants. When I was far more physical, I just accepted it by default that I was ‘the city guy’, diffusing situations and keeping idiots out of jail. Or worse, scam victims. And yea, in my prime I got scammed out of 60 bucks in Manhattan, but I broke every rule there was, and wasn’t surprised when I got taken. Getting rained out on payday in Brooklyn-Manhattan was always risky for me. Loved those Village bars and Hells Kitchen shitholes. Made dozens of “best friends” I never saw again, lmao.

Once you include Greater London my city covers a large amount of area and I do enjoy visiting parts I've never been to before. Although I don't stay overnight in hotels I do often feel like a tourist.

I'm a native San Franciscan. I've enjoyed "playing tourist," and feel like one when I'm taking visitors around. We're a small city, at the tip of a peninsula with a another county line defining the entire southern city limit. I've been driving around for decades, so I've pretty much seen it all.
A couple of years ago, a neighbor who has lived here for 30-some years, and I took a HOP-ON/HOP-OFF bus. It was the first time for both of us. It was great fun. I knew what and where, almost everything was. But, I picked up some tidbits of history and trivia. (There were also a couple of items of "folklore," that are considered to be in dispute.)
