The definition of a tourist trap is a commercial establishment that sells a mediocre product for an inflated price to foreigners who don't know any better.

Free monuments, like the leaning tower of Pisa or the Eiffel tower, are not tourist traps.

Restaurants that are popular with tourists but sell a perfectly acceptable and decent service, like the Hofbrauhaus, are not tourist traps.

It is only a tourist trap if its a genuinely overpriced, bad experience meant to extract money from clueless tourists.

Just because its not an "authentic place where the locals hang out" doesn't make it a tourist trap. It just makes it a spot popular with tourists.
