What place/city would you never visit that others love?

[MoverOva]

Paris and New York for me. They don't appeal at all. Not just the amount of tourists but when I've seen of them on tv and videos they don't look attractive. I'm open to being told I'm wrong. I don't like London but would visit if I had to. I've been a few times for shows and sport etc. I always feel grubby after a visit.
I do like some cities. Favourites are Edinburgh and Barcelona. Barcelona is rife with pickpockets though so you have to be on your guard.

My ideal holiday is walking in the lakes but I still enjoy the odd city break.

So is there anywhere that is popular that doesn't appeal to you?

I guess I could sum up what I like as old buildings and beautiful countryside/scenery.

As a result I have no desire to visit Dubai, Las Vegas, Disneyland/Disneyworld, and other similar places of that nature.

I guess I make some exceptions in terms of very modern cities in that I’ve visited Singapore (albeit as a stopover en route to Australia), it was interesting for two nights but I wouldn’t say I love it and/or have much desire to go back.

I so so so want to go to Riyadh (when the weather is bearable).

I hate you!!

Because I am jealous. I have lived in Paris and London but not managed NYC yet.

I visited NY to go to the opera and to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Both were fabulous. I didn’t do any shopping.

Won’t go to Japan for personal reasons.
Don’t fancy the big cities in India as I don’t think I’d cope with the chaos. Although I do quite fancy Kerala.
New Zealand - just too far away.

People who expect a city to be like it was a century ago are odd!

Why is there so much hatred about Paris? What's so violent about it? Why are the people this way?

I visited Lebanon for work during a more peaceful time. There are some beautiful and fascinating places to visit, such as Byblos. Its modern history is very sad.

It seems a bit silly to say you'll never visit somewhere because you might find you are surprised how much you like it.

I've been to all sorts of places and the ones I felt a bit meh about (and am not inclined to go again) are:
Dubai (sorry, predictable but it's very hot and not very interesting).
Tunisia (hassled everywhere, in a less good humoured style than Morocco which I liked).
Copenhagen (so quiet and sterile, I wanted to like it and the people were lovely and helpful but I just didn't "get" it).
Canary Islands (ok but not much to do and weather ok but not amazing either).
Sunny Beach, Bulgaria (nice week there but nothing that would make me go again, feel like we saw and did anything there was to do already).

Loved Paris, London, New York, Rome, Amsterdam and Disneyworld!
Favourite places: Hawaii, Thailand, Malaysia, Greek Islands (various).

Oh certainly and maybe in the future. I am sure it had changed a lot since my friends warned me off (some 20 years ago.)

India.
Australia.
South Africa.
The Cotswolds.

Hey you will get no Paris hate from me.

I am a Francophile generally but Paris especially is my heartbeat. Love love love it. My lasting regret in life is never having returned there to live permanently.

Do you have schengen residency rights?

My bucket list is NZ, soon to be ticked off, Canada, Ireland, Scotland.
Wouldn't touch America with a barge pole, likewise rest of Uk.
Then my dream would be to see Broome and the north of W.A.

Dubai, Australia.

I want to see NYC (again), Boston, Chicago, and I want to see a few places in Texas. I've heard the food is amazing in Austin.

British so no. Although that’s not really a blocker to me. If I had wanted to move there I could have made it work (like I have with Oz, Canada etc).

I had the opportunity and for reasons to long to explain took an opportunity in London instead and now have a permanent “WhatIf?”

Leaving aside when I lived there I think I have been maybe 12/14 times? It’s my most visited place for sure.

Dubai, i make sure my layover is no more than 8 hours, quick trip to the mall to buy a particular soap and straight back in the car. Jo'burg is just a gunshot away from a riot.

I have been to Paris many times and love it. Since the Olympics it seems even better and friendlier. It is so beautiful I just don’t know what’s not to like.

I saw some internet list of the world's top 20 most dangerous cities the other day and an alarming proportion of them were all in South Africa.

I know what you mean about Australia but they do have a rainforest too! Aswell as the bush (some are into that - not for me) and Tasmania is meant to be beautiful. But I don’t like dangerous creatures and when I flew over it it seemed like 4 hours of orange dust!

It's absolutely horrendous. Only place I'd go is Capetown.

Paris
Egypt
Morocco
Marrakesh
Japan
Newyork
And i know its not a country but Disney World looks like hell on earth, so does Las Vegas.

Haha yes , this is exactly it.

Lynn from Bedford has never been further than the out of town Tesco but she'd NEVER go to Paris😅
