What is the worst place you have ever visited?

[Washingforweeks]

I saw a thread on instagram about this and found it really interesting and wanted to hear more. What is the worst place you have visited and why?

Have you got the correct Boston there ? !

We loved Valleta!

Gambia. Just awful 😣

Hard agree.

My own experiences in Egypt, India, Turkey and Belgium - of all places.

Were negatively impacted by men.

Wtf what do you mean?

Went to the algarve. Sagres, albufeira. Plenty of portuguese bar and restaurants there

I think we probably went at a particularly bad time. Loved the rest of Montenegro (and got married in Croatia, so not too far) and Bosnia too (especially Mostar).

Was so disappointed hy Budva, though, as i had heard such good stuff about it!

Toronto. To be fair, it was February and the weather was filthy.

How can you say that?

Years ago my son who is now 14 went on a school trip to the deep and I went as a helper - I remember driving thru the bronx but the kids did enjoy the Deep

Tunisia was the pits for me. Constant sexual harassment and I saw a group of people stoning a dog.

Because I’ve visited multiple areas of Turkey and can say that from personal experience, almost every bloke is a risk to foreign women, especially those with blonde hair and/or blue eyes. Some of them are lovely, kind and respectful to women & children, but not many

Amsterdam. Very dirty, rubbish just lining the streets

Some friends called me from there today. They love it and are planning to move there probably next year.

Amsterdam
Genoa
Rome
Basil
Vienna

But the worst was Marseille! It was dirty and there were so many rats. The customer service everywhere was also terrible.

Luckily I've been to lots of lovely places too!

I want to go nigeria next year.
Can you explain why, please?

Its a fast evolving country in Africa.with a good economy. Modern as well.

Rochdale town centre... years ago. In my defence, I only went because I had to go to a specific building society (that was the nearest branch) to withdraw my money and close the account. I had a woman run up to me and beg for my money (while showing me her arms to indicate that she wasn't a drug user), a couple were having a domestic and she was desperately trying to hold onto the pushchair (with a surprisingly passive toddler sat in it, as if this was normal) as he kept trying to yank it off her, and someone in the building society told me to get out of the town centre quickly, as there was a BNP/EDL march on soon. Oh, and I made the mistake of saying, "Hello!" to a stranger (normal at home), and she gave me the sort of look that indicated that she expected me to kidnap her child. Needless to say, I have not been back there. It's a shame, really, because there are some beautiful historic buildings there.

As for Rhyl... people around here go, "Why on EARTH would you go to Rhyl?!"

I'm from Redcar. Wasn't too bad in the 70s and 80s. Very safe and friendly.

For me was Rio de Janeiro. Mainly felt unsafe.
I felt very safe in India and going every year now. My absolute favourite.

Ischia. Our apartment was overbooked and the owner put us in the hotel next door. I was tiny, dark and next to the reception and everyone walking by woke us up. We moved ourselves to another place with was miles inland. We had the worst Italian meal we've ever had (tasteless and split carbonara) and the waiter forgot to collect the plates and ask us if we wanted anything more, we struggled to catch his eye but he miraculously found us when we moved to leave. The food in general (town centre and where we were staying), was over-priced and not very good. The beaches were over-crowded and full of preening men, the roads weren't really safe to walk and it was all generally a bit "give us your money and fuck off). We'd been travelling in Italy and covered Rome, Naples and points inbetween, we'd enjoyed it all immensely, Ischia was a total and utter letdown.

Agree- bloody love the place

I was going to say the same... I went to Turkey with friends as a teenager, felt so unsafe.. followed, grabbed by men... just felt really unsafe.
I'd maybe go as a family but definitely not as a group of women.

Southend on sea. We googled it and it looked amazing for the kids for a day out. Nope never again. Felt so unsafe

I was confused about the Norwich comment too, it’s a great city.

Me too. However, the first time we went was in 2007 and it was utter chaos, hassle everywhere. We "escaped" down country and did a desert trek which was wonderful. We returned in 2021 and again in 2023 and it was like chalk and cheese, it's now so much improved. I'm just researching to book a stay in Southern Morocco over Xmas and new year too. There's also so much more to Morocco than Marrakesh.
