Answer 2

Go to the local turist offices. They will give you more information than you need. The best advice I can give. Sit down in a café and watch the people. Take a tour guide in your local bookstore and look for what is really interesting you. For me personally the main train station would be really interesting, which doesn´t give you anything.
