Where was the most boring place you ever visited?

[NetflixWithoutFriendsIsWrong]

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

Valencia is an amazing city! So is Berlin.
Aberdeen on the other hand…

Blackpool. We only passed through; it was enough.

It's just so boring

I second this!! Brussels felt like a zombie apocalypse, which I guess isn't boring, but it wasn't good either

I wonder if they just went to the bit of Unter den Linden by the Brandenberg Gate? There's at least 3 or 4 blocks of bland there before you hit another historical site of world significance.

Lady Grey, you were the poster who suggested we visit Schlachtensee for a swim, and I just want you to know that we went and it was lovely, and I didn't even smell the threatened weed 😄.

We absolutely loved Berlin- even the dirty bits- and I think anyone who doesn't like it should try Heidelberg. We went there on our Interrailing trip too, and were like "Well, this is all very.......manicured, isn't it?" 😆

I remember a similar thread a few months ago, I think it's great, I've never been out of the UK, so all the doom-laden posts make me think I haven't missed much! :-)

You’re joking surely! It’s a fabulous place. So much to see and do. Says more about you really if you find NZ boring.

They built a motorway on top of it for a reason.😁

Which Newport did you visit @TigerRag ?

South, just as you go over the bridge

I have a friend who's husband is an archaeologist who's main interest is in Roman Britain. He kept their honey-moon a surprise. She was looking forward to needing a bikini. Heck No! He had planned a week with him helping out on a dig on Hadrian's Wall with them staying in a tent. Funnily enough she decided that she was going to spend that week in a B&B. That was over 20 years ago & they're still going strong. Love has no bounds. 😂

Thought so. It's well known for being a dump. Newport Pembrokeshire is much nicer.

France isn't.

Florence… I was 18, really excited to go there… really interested in seeing the art and the architecture… it was dull, dull, dull, dull, dull…we had a guide… I have met more animated dead people…

I’ve just remembered falling asleep during a performance of Palliase and Melisandre at the London Coliseum. When the curtain call was taken there were singers I didn’t recognise as I had slept through their performance. I’m not a big fan of opera as you can imagine

Berlin….

Where were you thinking OP?

I find it fascinating how people can find some of these places dull. I think I’m obviously a massive nerd.
I don’t like most theme parks. Both dull ( the queues) and incredibly overstimulating.

Paris

Totally agree

The International Bowls Championship. Both my in laws play so they thought it would be a nice weekend away cis we live near where they are held. Bored rigid. I ended up napping in the car.

I go there so often because DS 14 lives near there and loves it, but only ever wants to eat in Wendy's.

What year did you go?? 45 Turkish Lira is about 75p

I do too - we lived in Copenhagen and went a lot , Malmo is way nicer than you might imagine in the centre, Lund is gorgeous just up the coast and Ystad is very nice too- wallander country!!! I do agree there isn’t loads to see or do ‘as such’ but it has decent shopping, a lovely coastline, excellent beaches and a quick 25 minute hop over the bridge which is great to Copenhagen.

Centre Parcs

Mallorca is my fall back main holiday most years , mixed in with a bit of Greek island stuff- honestly I would be perfectly ok if I could only ever go to Majorca and the Greek islands -
