If you’re traveling to top tourist destinations in hope you’ll get to sleep until noon, that probably won’t and shouldn’t happen. Getting up early is essential if you want to explore a new city to the fullest, and here’s a couple of reasons why you should avoid sleeping in at all costs.

Avoiding the Crowds

If you sleep for long, you’ll probably reach top tourist spots during peak times, when they’re the most crowded and the least enjoyable. That’s why you should always consider getting up early and experiencing them in their full glory, without the sea of people around you.

Covering More Ground

The more time you have on your hands, the more you’ll get to see. That’s why you should rise and shine early in the morning, and check out things from your bucket list while the day is young.

Approximately three steps from the Duomo di Milano is the entrance to this extravagantly lavish shopping mall, the Galleria Vittorio Emmanuel II. Even the name screams decadence ✨ — While I definitely wasn’t in the market for any new Prada or Gucci (lol not that I own anything that upscale in the first place 😅), it was still marvelous to dash through these halls, especially before they were teeming with people. For reference- I shot this photo around 7:30am. Any later than that and you’ll be competing with everyone else wanting to photograph the same thing 📸 • • • • • • #galleriavittorioemmamuele #duomodimilano #milan #milano #milanitaly #milanotoday #italytravel #italytourism #italylovers #italy_ig

Making it on Time

Some places you want to visit probably aren’t open 24/7, and you won’t get to see them if you lay around all day. It’s also important to develop good sleeping habits during your trip since you’ll eventually have to get up early for your check-out.
