Places you've been underwhelmed by

[HannaPintura]

I just love going away and have really loved most places. One place in particular really Underwhelmed me...Gibraltar...just like Britain in the sun! I'm sure it has so much to offer, but I couldn't wait to cross the border back to Spain!

Great Yarmouth- bleak as anything.

Mousehole in Cornwall Meggavissey was much prettier

Every time I go to London - about once a year maybe - I just think “Why on earth do people like this city”. It smells funny, it’s overcrowded, it’s eye wayeringly expensive - not for me. I escape back to my rural haven with huge relief every time.

Oh Mrs P I'm surprised by that. Always wanted to go to SF but the flight times put me off...can't do more than four hours flight time!

Westminster Abbey. too many tourists

I do agree with San Fran. I loved Alcatraz but that was literally the only thing. I've been all over the USA and spent a lot of time in some very poor and dangerous areas, but SF is the only place I have felt genuinely uncomfortable.

Stratford Upon Avon.

I was so disappointed by it. I had dreamed of going there for years and we went last year. I would never return.

Malta
London on new year 'a eve

Los Angeles
Vancouver
Oxford

Paris! There didn’t seem to be any variety in the architecture, to me - looked over the city from the top of the Eiffel Tower and was underwhelmed. I’d just spent 9 months living in Prague, which was spectacularly varied in terms of the buildings you’d see.

I don’t know. I’d always expected to love Paris & came away feeling like I’d had a treat taken away from me.

The Grand Canyon

LA.

Dublin. Nothing I particularly disliked about it, just wasn't really blown away by it either. It just looked like an average British city to me, very few memorable buildings, and way more expensive for a night out than anywhere in England (except London....and even that was borderline!)

The Sydney opera house - filthy, boring, greyer than it looks in pictures.
The Eiffel Tower - looks like a giant electrical pylon, except at night when the lights make it look quite pretty

Stonehenge. A load of rocks in a field and all you do is trudge round in a circle.

I wonder if I'd be more impressed if you could get closer.

In San Fransisco I like the Japanese tea garden. And the Golden Gate Bridge. But yes apart from that I don't like it. I know someone born there who hates to go back.

Mauritius - beautiful hotel & beach, underwhelmed by the rest of the place

Paris. It was kind of dull and very smoggy.

New York
Dubai

I liked Gibraltar but my expectations were not that high!

Yeah Hanna I didn't expect much of LA but I expected SF to be cool and fun. Nope; dirty, scary and disappointing. Not half as disappointing as it was to the two gay men I was on holiday with. Mecca turned out to be Mecca Bingo.

Lanzarote. Bleak.

interesting on SF. DD is there for a few days and has messaged to say its full of homeless people and very intimidating. Not liking it at all

Knossos, Crete. Interesting in places, but a lot of the site has been "reconstructed".
Matala, again on Crete, the hippy/cave place. Dirty beach and a bit of a dump.
(Rest of Crete is fabulous).
Chatsworth House, Derbyshire. Expensive and I thought a lot of the house was largely not on show, more so than other stately homes. I felt they try and keep you to the grounds and the odd glimpse of grandeur.
