If you're quickly looking for things to do in a new city, try checking out Google's new City Tours. It's the latest launch to emerge from Google Labs that can build itineraries for brief trips to locations around the globe in a matter of seconds. Head on over to TechCrunch to read more about it or you can try it out yourself, here.

Via TechCrunch: "Just type in where you’re visiting (say, San Francisco or London), and Google will present a suggested itinerary spanning a three day trip, with around a dozen attractions per day depending on the city. From there you can change the number of days you’ll be staying (Google will show more attractions the longer you stay), and you can also manually adjust the list of places you’d like to visit. You can add a new attraction by entering its name in a text field, and Google will try to find it in its database. All attractions include a star rating, along with its hours operation and location."

It still has a bunch of kinks to work out but if you need some quick ideas, Google's got you covered.
