“It was basically a postage stamp surrounded by annoying tourists trying to get a selfie.”

Traveling is often the perfect escape from most people’s monotonous reality.

But sometimes, the idea of a popular destination is much better than the reality.

Reddit useru/whyeventrymoreasked the Redditsphere,“What’s the most overrated tourist spot you’ve been to?

“Here were some of the top-rated replies:

1.

They stamped that stone and put it in a cage under 24-hour camera surveillance.

A crowd of museum visitors take photos of Leonardo da Vinci's painting "Mona Lisa" displayed in the Louvre Museum

Interesting art piece, but not exactly the message of freedom they intend to send to tourists.”

“Times Square on NYE.

Everyone thinks it’s a big party, but it’s not.

A group of people are standing on a glass bridge at the Grand Canyon Skywalk, enjoying the scenic view

it’s possible for you to’t see anything but the same repeated ads over and again.

And in the end, it’s a 5-minute celebration before everyone is gone.”

City street view with pedestrians, shops, parked cars, and gray buildings in Reykjavik, Iceland

It was basically a postage stamp surrounded by annoying tourists trying to get a selfie.

However, dont sleep on that room.

Check it out: The Wedding at Cana by Paolo Veronese.”

A large crowd of people energetically dancing and celebrating at what appears to be a lively party scene

“Romeo & Juliets balcony.

Then you look up at a janky balcony that may or may not be the one and shuffle back.

“Skywalk over the Grand Canyon West.

Thankfully, then you go to another spot, which is brilliant.”

“The Liberty Bell in Philadelphia.

It was a really long line to see it and then it was underwhelming.

We enjoyed the Ben Franklin Museum and Betsy Ross house though.”

I had someone grab me and force something into my hand and then demand money.

It was scary and totally took away from the moment.”

“I still dont know why people put Dallas, Texas, on their itinerary.

Its like Springfield from the Simpsons.

It has everything you need but nothing worth going out of the way for.”

“The actual monument of Mt.

It really detracts from the beautiful scenery.”

“For me, Id say spending time in downtown Reykjavik.

All it is is shops that sell shit and bars.”

“Fishermans Wharf in SF.

It’s literally just t-shirt shops and chain restaurants.

I don’t understand the point at all.

Maybe go to see the sea lion colony but then immediately GTFO.”

16.“Ibiza.

17.And finally, “Amalfi Coast.

Specifically Amalfi, Positano, and Priano.

In Amalfi, I felt like a cow being led to the slaughterhouse.

Ive never been on more crowded stairwells.

I have no interest in ever returning to Amalfi.”
