Reading comments here to find a better way, but we just walk or take a train or subway and get off and walk and see what we find. Talking to locals helps too, as they will tell us about places they are proud of and think we should see. We have stumbled on really cool places most tourist do not find or ended up riding paddle boats in a park. We do research ahead of time and have a list of places we do not want to miss.
This does not always work. Some places are too big and lack public transportation. We have had to return to a train station a get a cab to a local attraction (Dover, UK).
