New York. It was just grey and dull at eye level. Times square was OK, but the rest was a bit meh

Whataretheodds · 20/05/2023 13:57

Vegas

Bumble84 · 20/05/2023 13:57

Bali. It’s like Magaluf for Australians.

mynameiscalypso · 20/05/2023 13:58

Las Vegas. Hated it.

ohfourfoxache · 20/05/2023 13:58

Florida

TheSillyPeach · 20/05/2023 13:59

Majorca

Hideous
& rained in August
total waste of money

BakedTattie · 20/05/2023 13:59

New York. Pretty much the same as every other large overpriced city.

centre parcs - any of them

Meem321 · 20/05/2023 14:00

Paris

BakedTattie · 20/05/2023 14:00

Also St Lucia - couldn’t leave our resort unaccompanied (2 young females) as it was so dangerous.

HadEnoughOfBears · 20/05/2023 14:01

Agree with the others saying Las Vegas

Namechangebunfightcoming · 20/05/2023 14:01

Haha love the 'Bali is like Magaluf for australians' comment.

Was in Majorca one August too like PP and had a thunderstorm but it was short so ok.

Turkey is the only place I have been to that I would never return to

Spidey66 · 20/05/2023 14:03

Another vote for both Las Vegas and St Lucia, but I want to add LA to the list.

mynameiscalypso · 20/05/2023 14:04

Interestingly, we went to Majorca a few years ago and I had really low expectations but I thought it was stunning.

Bali. It’s like Magaluf for Australians.

Bahamas. Like Magaluf for Floridians.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa. Got some amusing photos but really its just a tower surrounded by lots of souvenir stalls.

cocksstrideintheevening · 20/05/2023 14:10

San Francisco

twistyizzy · 20/05/2023 14:11

LA, 3 day stop over on way back from New Zealand. Hated every minute of it and couldn't wait to leave.

Blondey2023 · 20/05/2023 14:11

Venice for sure. It was really smelly, like sewage water everywhere. I wonder if anyone else has ever thought this 🤔

loverofpants · 20/05/2023 14:14

Another vote for Bali!

NewUserName2023 · 20/05/2023 14:14

Stonehenge
LA
Amsterdam

NewUserName2023 · 20/05/2023 14:15

Forgot Ibiza!

NBLarsen · 20/05/2023 14:20

Also Pisa, like someone else said, it just a tower that leans, novelty is quickly over and there's nothing else to do.

And the Inca trail followed by Machu Picchu, didn't enjoy a minute of it.

Same, drove miles and so tacky couldn't wait to leave!!

omnishambles · 20/05/2023 14:22

The Pyramids. Hassely, surrounded by city and actually rather boring.

user1498193554 · 20/05/2023 14:23

Another vote for Venice. So so disappointing.
