How Overrated Is Venice?

We shell out a good deal of time here at TheExpeditioner.com going on and on about locations to visit and sights to see about the world, but it begs the query: aren’t there plenty of places you shouldn’t travel to? Of course there are, I just don’t believe there’s significantly use spilling a great deal of ink speaking about them.

Unless of program you’re trying to do a complete “High Fidelity” factor, placing collectively a prime-five (or in this situation, prime-ten) list of the most overrated areas on Earth, like what was done in excess of at Frommer’s.

Their record contains this kind of neighborhoods as New York’s Tiny Italy (tourist trap, number of to zero actual Italians) and Harajuku, Tokyo (tourist trap, right after-college hangout). Full cities get thrown into the combine right here as nicely, which include Vancouver (or as they refer to it: “Blandcouver”), and, wait for it, Venice. Yeah, that’s going to provoke a number of arguments.

And due to the fact I can’t help butting in with my very own view for lists like these, I’ll throw a couple out there.

How about Times Square? If you want to come all the way to New York City to shell out time in a part of the city that appears almost nothing like New York, then right here’s your spot.

What about the Eiffel Tower? Wonderful as a landmark, horrible as an actual destination. Why? Exact same motive as Times Square. Your ideas?
