How to find best/popular running routes in new city?

Interested to know what apps/tools people use to quickly and reliably find good running routes in new cities they visit, without having to do a lot of research (eg < 20 seconds would be ideal). Eg a running route search engine if such a thing exists, preferably one with real data as opposed to blogs with paid writers giving opinions (if hundreds of people regularly run a given route, that’s usually more reliable than one paid writer’s opinion)

I tried strava which was highly recommended but I think they stopped providing public running data due to privacy some years ago.

Not sure if google has anything. And new to running abroad so not sure what the ‘go to’s are
