I would rather visit the local spots than the tourist places
Let's avoid the tourist attractions and see the local attractions instead
I prefer the local attractions over the tourist spots!
To explain that you would rather visist the local attractions of a town or city you are travelling to you could say that you 'prefer' these to the 'main touristic sites'. The maint tourists sites of a country for example France's Eifel Tower are very popular and busy sites and would usually be filled with lots of people. If you prefer something quieter or prefer to check out the local culture you could visit a small Parisien cafe instead.
Hope this helps

旅行先で地元人が行くような場所に行ってみたいと伝えたい場合は、"I prefer these to the main touristic sites"という表現をする事も出来ます。
例えば国の観光地であるフランスのエッフェル塔はとても有名で沢山の観光客で込み合っています。もう少し静かな場所や、地元の文化に触れてみたいなら、代わりに小さなパリのカフェなどに行ってみてもいいかもしれないですね。
参考になるといいです。
I'd like to get off the "tourist trail" and sample the local color...
Major tourist sights hold no fascination for me... I like to explore the local areas!
Going off-track and avoiding crowds of camera wieldin tourists, may well have its own rewards. Often we can find ourselves on holiday,,,getting lost in crowds of other tourists all doing the same thing..
.Some of us prefer " the local color" and the flavors of the real world...
As experienced by the local people...
This is a great way to dive into other cultures ... and come up smiling!
いつもと違う場所やカメラに振り回されるようなよくある観光スポットと違う場所はそれなりの良さがあります。
ホリデーではよく他の観光者と共に同じ場所で同じ事をしがちですよね。
観光者の中には実際にそこに住んでいる人により生み出される"the local color(地元色)"や地元の食べ物を好む人もいます。
他の文化を体験出来るいい機会ではないでしょうか。
I prefer visiting the places locals visit instead of the famous tourist spots.
Whenever I travel, I like to visit local places of interest instead of famous tourist resorts.

So, you may say:
I prefer visiting the places locals visit instead of the famous tourist spots.
or
Whenever I travel, I like to visit local places of interest instead of famous tourist resorts.
有名な観光地よりも、地元の人が好む場所に行くのが好きな人はいますね。その理由は、有名な観光地よりも魅力的だったり、お金がかからないというのもあるかもしれません。

I prefer visiting local places rather than touristy ones'
I like going to less touristy places.
We can either use the verb, "to like," or, "to prefer," and still keep the same meaning. When using prefer, we must always think that we are comparing two things to one another. Lastly we don't need to mention local places if we mention that, "I like going to less touristy places."
