Seth Kugel at the New York Times has pulled together a handy tour that covers Manhattan from top (the Cloisters) to bottom (Bowling Green). The trip, which takes 3-1/2 hours, relies mainly on using the city's public buses, with a bit of subway and some walking added to the mix.

If the idea works for you, check out our similar approach in A DIY Tour of Berlin. Along with a slide show, there's a clickable map showing vids of places you can reach on the M29's bus route.

And if it's Paris you're headed for, check out Gridskipper's rundown of the best sightseeing routes there.

Paris is probably the ideal destination for sightseeing tour operators. The whole city is like a big museum. For example even without taking specialized tours, you can hop in to the number 42 bus at Gare du Nord international terminus and follow the touristic route. Mind you Paris by buy usually is a crowded affair.
