When browsing for holiday spots, it’s easy to be enticed to visit a specific location just by glancing at the professional photographs that appear when you put the name into the search field. However, although sights like the Taj Mahal and Mount Rushmore may seem lovely in pictures, the reality is frequently very different. Fortunately, some individuals have visited these tourist traps and have shared their experiences so you can know what to anticipate before you book your travel.
#1
The Louvre is fantastic, but the Mona Lisa was a tremendous letdown. The picture is small, yet there are constantly crowds around it. At the Louvre, there are a million more exciting things to view.
#2
What did you expect? You are gently lifted over London by cheerful flight attendants in your futuristic pod. The throng disperse as the cityscape unfolds before you – a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
So, what? Unfriendly customer service reps steal your money from your wallet while you’re herded inside a heated glass pod with others. Sweaty visitors push you out of the way to get to the windows. There are youngsters screaming. It takes 45 minutes.
#3
Disney Parks is a chain of theme parks owned by Disney. Do you want to eat something? Be prepared to spend $50 per person every day. You came for the rides. Unless it’s a hectic day, appreciate the four or five you make it on. On such days, cherish the two or three.
#4
Waikiki beach. It’s a congested concrete beach with traffic and pricey shops. Go to any other Oahu beach. The best thing to do is drive up to the north coast and relax on one of the numerous lonely beaches.
#5
The Taj Mahal is the most renowned structure in the world (Agra). 10-meter-high walls encircle it, and the admission charge is excessive compared to other Indian attractions. Cross the river if you’re in Agra and want to visit the Taj Mahal. There are beautiful gardens nearly just across the street, and a lovely position along the river with a spectacular view of the Taj Mahal, especially around sunset. You won’t have to bother with crowds since this event is entirely free.
#6
The same franchise eateries and tourist traps may be found in Times Square and Piccadilly Circus.
#7
If you travel the Great Wall of China, I advise you to skip the stretch in Beijing. The area has been extensively restored and is quite touristic. Take a van journey to the Simitai portion of the city, located outside of the town. Now there’s some old-school Great Wall that’s not too crowded.
#8
The Sydney Opera House. The excursions are pricey, and the interior is a little disappointing. Outside, which is also the most delicate part, is entirely free.
#9
The Liberty Bell is a symbol of freedom. Wait in line for a long time to see a bell. That is precisely how it appears on all Philadelphia souvenirs. You aren’t even allowed to lick it.
#10
Branson. When the Simpsons referred to it as “Las Vegas run by Ned Flanders,” they weren’t kidding.
