Where was the most boring place you ever visited?

[NetflixWithoutFriendsIsWrong]

Just that. Interested to see if anyone says what I'm thinking...

Nice - a really unpleasant, boring town. Nothing much to do, restaurants very expensive, beach not very nice either. Couldn't wait to leave. The best bit was a train trip to Monaco.,

I don't think I have holidayed anywhere boring, but having bad weather can make the holiday feel longer if it restricts your planned activities.

So, I would say a wet fortnight in Puerto Alcudia (because it rained nearly every day) was not the best. Luckily we had booked a car for three days, then decided to hang on to it for another week. Fortunately, while it rained in Alcudia most of the time, it didn't rain everywhere else, so we ended up seeing quite a lot of Majorca in sunshine.

I felt sorry for the holiday makers who couldn't drive because there was literally nothing else to do where we were staying.

I loved Austria for the mountains.. the wild flowers.. the clean fresh air.. the sparkling clear waterfalls.. And it wasn't overcrowded like where I live. 💞

@LaurieFairyCake when I went on a night out in Wisbech with a friend who lives in the area 20 years ago, the night club, police station and court were all in a row. Says it all really. I agree that on the face of it, it should be a nice place.

I second Stratford upon Avon. Unless you love Shakespeare there's bugger all to do there.

Whoever said Newport in Wales, I presume you mean Pembrokeshire? Nobody would be mad enough to holiday in Newport Gwent.

Dubai. Dull dull dull

Blimey. What DOES get you excited?

I know, you couldn't pay me enough money to swim in that loch, not that I would, but there is something about it I agree..

And the sound of the bells that the cows wear..

I think Bude is alright! The town centre feels safe and has a couple of good surf shops. Newquay on the other hand is awful.

Did you not go to Carnac Plage? It's beautiful!

I agree. We did go to Ricks Cafe and an incredible mosque but the town/city itself was dull

As you talk about annual leave you are presumably no older than your sixties. You don't mention any other reason to prevent your travelling so why wouldn't you be able to see all those short-haul places? If you planned well you could probably fit four of them in in a year!

Copenhagen was disappointing

Bovington Tank Museum!
I must say, it's quite interesting since it was updated. I remember visiting years ago when it was literally a hangar full of tanks. We bumped into one of my husbands army colleagues who had taken some poor woman there on a date. Fond memories.

They do indeed but I can't shake off that feeling of wanting to escape, I never feel like that about any other village in the New Forest, only Burley, My ILs house backs on to woods and they're convinced there's black magic in the area, that didn't comfort me much when I was dog sitting for them!

Lowestoft

Stranraer

Dubai.

Some parts of Norfolk are beyond dull. Having said that we have booked a holiday in Cromer but we want to go and escape from everyone!!

Reading this thread I feel like quite a few people seem to be ‘taken on’ holidays rather than choose the destinations. Do they do no research beforehand, or just have no say in the choice? Eg why go to Rome if you’re not interested in history? Or rural Austria if you’re expecting excitement?
Possibly I’d agree re Scunthorpe (but I wouldn’t go on holiday there) 😏

I’ve had to go to places I’m not enthused about - largely for work - there is always something of interest once you start looking into it

Palace of Versailles. If you’re seen one gold chair, you’ve seen ‘em all.

Boring

Yeah I get that, I had the pleasure of being there during Spring break, shreeking American teenagers getting pissed everywhere, I wasn't on holiday, I worked for an airline at the time
