It’s just so crowded."
But unfortunately, some tourist destinations have become too famous for their own good.
These are the worldwide tourist attractions that they say, unfortunately, have been spoiled.
1.“Versailles.
However, we loved the gardens and other buildings.”
“The Trevi Fountain in Rome.
It’s so crowded.
“Jemaa el-Fnaa (Market Square), Marrakesh.
Of all the places we visited in Morocco, Jemaa el-Fnaa was the biggest disappointment.
It’s full of knock-off clothes and guys trying to get you to take pictures with cobras.
In general, Marrakesh is awesome, but the market is a letdown.”
“Takeshita Street in Harajuku, Tokyo.
I love Tokyo, but I won’t return to Harajuku anytime soon.”
“Oktoberfest in Munich.
“Oia, Santorini.
I went in October expecting a quieter season, and it was still packed!
Some tourists were super rude, too.”
“Banff National Park.
As a Canadian, I feel that tourism in Banff is destroying the environment.
“The Leaning Tower of Pisa.
“Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia.
“Bondi Beach in Sydney.
“The Vatican, and specifically inside St. Peter’s Basilica.
This was pre-COVID, so my experience may be different now, but there were so many people.
“Cinque Terre, Italy in August.
We felt like sweaty sardines packed in everywhere we went.”
“Yellowstone National Park.
“The Pyramids of Giza.
I spent months looking forward to the trip and felt so disappointed.”
“Pretty much any tourist destination in Bali.
“The Disney parks in Orlando.
“The Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center in NYC.
It’s so packed I got just close enough to barely squeeze out.
I didn’t even really see the tree.
The setting always looks so nice in movies.
And also Times Square.
It’s stressful being there, and I still don’t understand why there’s gridlock traffic.
Everyone needs to honk their horn constantly as if there is anywhere to go.
I’m just a country boy, I guess…”
18.
“The Mona Lisa room in the Louvre is incredibly frustrating, entirely because of the other tourists.
I got as close as I could before a group of tourists almost pushed me to the floor.
In my humble opinion, there are much better paintings in the Louvre.”
19.“Dubai.
I felt like I was constantly being shuttled from one tourist trap to another.”
“Waikiki Beach in Oahu.
It’s a horrible, crowded concrete beach surrounded by traffic and overpriced chain stores.
Go to literally any other beach in Oahu.
