Polish term or phrase: atrakcje turystyczne (British English)
Szukam alternatywy dla 'tourist attractions', najlepiej terminu o brzmieniu bardziej potocznym, "młodzieżowym". Czy 'hot spots' będzie w tym wypadku właściwe (nie jestem pewna, czy jako 'hot spot' można określić tylko licznie odwiedzane przez turystów lokalizacje w mieście typu kawiarnia, dyskoteka, teatr czy też plasują się też w tej kategorii rezerwaty, parki i historyczne zabytki. Co więcej, nie mam pewności czy 'hot spot' odnosi się tylko i wyłącznie do miejsca - atrakcja turystyczna nie ogranicza się zaś tylko do miejsc).

"Sight" ma dość szerokie pole znaczeniowe, nie ogranicza się więc wyłącznie do zabytków.
"Spot" jednak również świetnie by się sprawdził w tym kontekście - "tourist (hot) spots":

"Don't miss....."


Explanation:
I have seen this phrase used in several modern tourist guides, including the Ryanair in-flight magazine, which is aimed at young travellers. It has the advantage of being suitable for both local attractions such as good restaurants, trendy bars or art galleries and bigger things such as national parks or even towns. I agree that "tourist hot spots" is suitable for a city, like Barcelona, for example, but not really for a specific museum, castle, nightclub etc. I think that the heading "Don't Miss..." is the answer to your problem as it can be used for practically anything.

Asker: Thank you for your suggestion, yet the text I'm working on doesn't include names of places only but rather a motley of miscellaneous buildings, natural landscapes, stones or even barns... I'd opt for something more general
