Where was the most boring place you ever visited?

[NetflixWithoutFriendsIsWrong]

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

This thread is funny😂.
For me, it has to be rip off The Giant’s Causeway, anywhere in provincial France after 20h or on a Sunday. I’ll throw in Dublin for good measure. I do absolutely love Rome and could sit all day with a coffee just watching the world go by.

Agree! I remember queuing for ages as a teen to see the Mona Lisa and being so underwhelmed - I was expecting a huge painting.

The Cotswolds. Christ, it’s soooooooo bloody boring there. Nothing to see, nothing to do, everything is expensive. Never take kids there. So dull.

I have to ask... apart from a broad strip of water 22 miles long and a museum about something that doesn't exist, what were you expecting?

The Azores. Can't remember the island. Remember the atrocious food, very poor hotel accommodation plus remember the fact that although it looks serene and the roads are small and winding, it's like a racing track.

Scarey to drive on, impossible to walk or cycle on the roads.

Margate - admittedly it was just before it had its resurgence but literally couldn’t find anywhere to have lunch except McDonald’s. Centre was mostly boarded up shops. Luckily we stopped there on our way to somewhere else.

Also, I’ve now realised I don’t really like museums-especially history/car/plane etc related ones. Science or art ones are ok.

The Sea Life bit in Chessington World of Adventures. Was so crazy and boring. I realised at that point that I don’t think I like any zoos or sea life things. Just walking around staring at captivity I’m not doing that anymore.

I must be weird too as I loved both Stockholm and Berlin. Not boring at all.

Oh and I also loved Brussels,

Stonehenge is great if you go for a solstice and watch the sunrise while tripping your nuts off surrounded by loonies banging drums and chanting.

Lanzarote. Mind blowingly dull and overrun with cyclists.

Stonehenge and Lincoln

Lewis and Harris over Christmas and New Year in the 1990s. It was totally dead and I couldn't even get food or petrol as everything was shut for 2 weeks. And I couldn't get warm as the wind kept blowing out the fire (the house had no other heating) and the beds were cold, damp and stank of urine.
More recently, Jakarta. Nothing worth seeing, horrible food, and really nasty air pollution. Granted, we were there for business, not pleasure, but in most other places I've been, there would be something interesting to see in the downtime periods.

Can’t believe some of these posts! All of Germany? Most of Spain? Iceland? Paris??
I think some people just have no soul.

That said, I do find The Louvre a tad boring because it’s too bloated: just too much in it that’s not very interesting. Needs pruning. Unfortunately DH loves it, so we had to have a foot-throbbing 6 hour visit on his birthday last summer. I much prefer the Musee-D’Orsay.

My boring place is Menorca. I was fed up of visiting Mallorca (MIL has house there) so went to Menorca instead one summer. Boring and not particularly scenic. Back to Mallorca!

Hawick

I thought Malta would be very interesting with lots of different aspects, but like you, I found it very boring, and claustrophobic! As for the food, as it's a melting pot of Mediterranean cultures, it just came across as full of fast food joints, pizza, pasta, kebabs etc!

I don't know if you were there a fortnight or a weekend but I'm willing to believe that a weekend felt like a fortnight.

Grey sea to reflect the sky and a whole country's worth of midgies in clouds of biblical proportions. Only entertainment was walking up the midge infested path to the little shop to buy sweets. We went twice and the second time my Gran came too so I had to sleep on the caravan's table instead of a bed.

Magical times...

There are plenty of Armoured Cars, APCs and Assault & Self Propelled Guns too :)

Benalmadena.

Not that it was THAT boring. It was just my least favorite place I've been on holiday I think 🤔

Ellesmere

The coldest place in England.

Jakarta.

Had a few holidays like that as a kid. A wet week in a caravan with the oldies and getting told ‘smile we’re on holiday’

Iceland is top of the very short list of places I want to go back to! It’s incredible. Like an actual sci-fi world.

> So much history
?
My school is older than New York
I have a bottle of wine older than the oldest building in the city
:)

Yeh I definitely think any trip to Stonehenge needs psychedelic assistance
