Koheleth 10:15 states: 'The toil of fools wearies him, for he does not know to go to the city'.

Rashi, it seems to me, interprets 'city' as Torah study. Are there any authorities who claim that a literal, actual trip to the city (or a bigger city), without meeting or talking to Torah scholars, helps a person when he or she is becoming exhausted often?

I am accepting here the definition of a city as a town with (at least) a minyan.

Many thanks for your time.
