My LEAST Favorite Place to Visit

[@estebantia2413]

Worst place: Dubai. By far. Just terrible, in all aspects. Fake, ugly, extremely hot, extremely superficial, extremely environment UNfriendly, extremely polluted, just cars and huge highways everywhere, just money and brands and pretending and air conditioners, ... Just terrible.

You just confirmed all my preconceived ideas about it. I have never had a desire to visit there for those reasons.

[@kniknayme9865]

any place that lists shopping as a major attraction is usually not for me

[@nnuae]

It's not fake, it's just new because it has just been built, it lacks greenery, it gets its funding from superficial people, rather than taxes, which I find cool, the air is polluted for half the year, the heat is unbearable and the air conditioned malls basically substitute the streets, sure ... but calling the people unfriendly... I don't know man, I've found Dubai residents to be the most likely people to help you out when you need something, much more so than Europeans. There's a ton of people online who have never even been to Dubai just randomly spreading hate and you sound like one of them. Every place has pros and cons, stick to the real cons, please.

For me I was dying to go to Dubrovnik ever since I randomly found it on Google maps years ago and book my trip for last May.

Dubrovnik was beautiful, but it was mostly crowded by Americans and British tourists. There were no local cuisine restaurants that werent high end. Everyone spoke fluent English and so I didnt get a goof feel for the local culture. I then found out recently that Dubrovnik is one of the most touristy cities in Europe in terms of the amount of tourists vs locals. Rome, a last second trip, was beautiful, with waaay more Italians than tourists (French, German, Chinese, and sometimes British). There were a lot of local, cheap, Italian cafes and restaurants that served local foods. So overall I agree with you

Went to Disney for years and years (mid 90's - 2010's) and, in my opinion, the experience has gone downhill overtime. The amount of people is truly overwhelming to the point where it feels like it's taking over the theming. Also the app sucks to have to use, feels like the opposite of immersion. They need to stop building hotels and remember why people went there in the first place- to escape from chaos and stress.

Like why would I pay money (and a lot of money!) to go somewhere and be marketed to? Why would I pay to basically be inside a commercial? It seems ludicrous to me.

[@josephvanas6352]

I went to Disneyland as a kid and it was pretty great. Granted it was dumping rain when we went so the park was empty. You could basically walk on to every ride. What really kills Disney for me is the amount of people there normally. The rides and the experiences are carefully curated and really well themed something you could get at other parks like Universal studios so Disney is no longer unique in that respect but its still pretty neat. The people though really kills it. Pirates of the Caribbean and The haunted mansion are great but not so much when you have to wait 2 hours to get on the ride. If I want another well themed and expensive experience I will go back and see the Gol Stavechurch again in Oslo. Cant get much better themed than walking through a nearly 1000 year old wooden church.

Oh good golly! Yes! Last September four of us took a seven day cruise of the Greek Isles. One of my friends had made a restaurant reservation on the island to watch the "famous" Santorini sunset the evening we would be there. But then I started watching a KZbinr named GreeceExplained. He is a tour guide in Athens and Santorini. He gave a very detailed description of what to expect when arriving by cruise ship at the island. He mentioned the often insane wait times for the gondola. So I did the math and realized we would not have enough time to eat at the restaurant, watch the sunset, travel back to the gondola, wait in line for it and a tender boat before the cruise ship left. So I had to break the news to my friends. They watched the video I sent to them explaining it all and had to agree it would not be possible. First thing in the morning at Santorini, one of my friends got us our tickets for the tender boat. We caught an early one. Happily there was no line at all for the gondola. We returned to the ship early evening, so the wait time was about 20 minutes for the gondola. We got freshened up, bought a cocktail and went on the top deck of the ship to watch the sunset. It was gorgeous! I actually think it was better to do it that way than from the island. Because to watch the glow from the sunset on the white cliffs of the island was beautiful. Then to see all the lights on the island come on as it got dark was magical. It was enjoyable being on the island. But I would never do Santorini again.

I can't understand how he says that Brussels is overrated, I don't think that many people in the US care too much about visiting Brussels or even Belgium in general. I often heard people said they were actually surprised by how many nice things there are in Belgium. So hearing him say that Brussels is overrated because it apparently has a "rep" is really weird to me.

[@lkrnpk]

I think the “rep” is more of a European thing due to it being EU capital of sorts, although it is EU capital precicely because some other countries have capitals in less important cities too, because big cities were competing for this status and if you have both France and Germany in EU, you will not give the capital to one or another 😃 But for many this status leads to hightened expectations

Very refreshing to hear this straightforward, without degrading anyone. Straightforward opinion. I live an hour away from Disneyland in Calif. And I livec10 minutes away from Universal. I haven't been to Disneyland for 30 years and don't miss the long long long lines, outrageous prices, and the heat.

I found the sewer museum very interesting & the comic museum is of course a must for any comic fan out there. If you avoid the tourist traps near Manneken Pis, the city has really nice cafés, bars & restaurants, including those that brew their own beer. And the chocolats of course. I prefer Luikse wafels to the ones from Brussel, but that's personal. The city has excellent public transport that's quite cheap, to me at least. Not as famous as London or Venice, it still has some lovely areas like Louise(expensive!), but some _really_ ugly looking ones as well. Not as in unsafe, just not beautiful.
