Traveling to a new city can certainly feel overwhelming. Whether you’re planning on spending a long weekend partying in Miami or a week sightseeing in and around Paris, you likely want to use your time as efficiently as possible, knocking as many things as you can off your list while still being able to enjoy everything. But sometimes it’s difficult to know where to begin.

That’s where a travel tool like Bucket Listers comes in clutch. As the self-described “leading source for explorers looking to find the best things to do in cities around the world”, the site is chock full of travel inspiration, from a list of the best culinary experiences in Houston, to the most Instagrammable spots in Toronto, and much more.

Bucket Listers is the brainchild of Chicago native Andy Lederman, who, at some indeterminate point in the recent past, decided to start what he called the Chicago Bucket List to keep track of the best experiences in the Windy City to share with family and friends. What he was doing obviously struck a chord, because soon he had thousands of followers and was able to expand the scope of his online travel tool.

These days, Lederman works alongside a team of seven others, and Bucket Listers keeps its fans up to date on all of the bucket list-worthy experiences to be had in 15 cities across the globe. That includes 11 of the most populous cities in the U.S., along with four international destinations: Berlin, London, Paris, and Toronto.

Along with recommended activities and sights to see, insider’s guides are also included with some cities. Those additional sections include juicy tidbits like: 9 Things You Didn’t Know You Can Do at the Starbucks Reserve (Chicago); The Most Romantic Date Spots in NYC; and 7 Markets You Need to Visit in London.

Whatever your travel bucket list looks like right now, it’s definitely not farfetched to say it’ll be looking a little fatter after paying Bucket Listers a visit. Check it out and let the wanderlust take over.
