What popular places are overrated?

[coulditbeme2323]

Following on from another thread, what places do you consider overrated that are popular?

Hotel Chocolat = over priced, at best average tasting, would much rather Cadbury's at a fraction of the price.

Amorino = our local one gets packed, as in queue's outside the shop packed. Over priced, very average ice cream, that they seem to be able to charge a premium for because you can mix flavors and it's a cue little flower shape.

Dominoes, Pappa Johns, Pizza Hut = unless there is a deal on very expensive for what tastes very processed pizza.

I stand by claims because yet again you can't blame the WHOLE of the travelling community for the sake of a few bad apples....
There are good and hideous people from every walk of life, class, creed, country and race. You can't tarnish whole groups with your bold claims!

You are free to stand by it, as you wish.

They are owned by the same company.

Cornwall. Over priced and overrated.

What county?

County Down, isn't it, Belfast?

Apologies on typo.

And bloody dangerous, having to lean forward out of the ramparts to kiss the Blarney Stone.
Admittedly I was young and very drunk.

Disneyland

Those themed chain Irish bars

I think they are disgusting.

To be fair we went on a bank holiday weekend and didn't have time to do some of the nice things the island has to offer. We did enjoy it - only not as much as a lot of other places we have been. I think if we had had kids to take the experience would also be different. I agree holidays are what you make them, which is why I always enjoy them. I'm not in a hurry to return as where I live is nicer and the sea crossing is so expensive!

I know, I'm in the minority. I think I maybe just have bad luck and bad timing everytume I go!

So, the answer, if you mean what country, is the UK.

You don't care about people being firebombed from their homes in the UK?

Oh my god stop derailing the thread.

I'm not derailing anything. The OP loves to post banal innocuous threads then quickly turn them toxic so she can drop her little racist asides into them.

Eden Project
Lands End
So called activity hols - the outdoors is about nature not zip wires and rafting
Center Parcs

Brussels
Belgium in general, though Bruges was ok

rubbish everywhere and some of the rudest people I’ve ever encountered

Cornwall.

Or rather I dont get the massive thing about it.

Its nice and pictureskew and beaches blah, but so are so many other places in the UK. It takes fucking AGES to get there even from where I am in the Midlands. Took us 4 hours to get to the border and then another 4 to get to where we were going in the county! Everywhere is packed and over priced. I have been twice, once to visit family and another to attend a (native!) wedding. Both times it was a nightmare. There are so many beautiful places that are far easier to get to, far easier to get around and have much more to do!

Eden Project as someone else said, boring and preachy. Lands End, crap cash grab. My friends have since left as they said they felt like they weren't living where they had grown up but in a theme park called Cornwall Land! They now live in West Devon which is just over the border but a world away in terms of their day to day lives.

I would not live anywhere else for the beaches tbf. You have to be a bit clever with timing and parking at certain times. It's still worth it.

Many in my school cohort have actually moved back to Cornwall over the last 10 years, as in our opinion nowhere compares.

Nor me. I quite like their trousers ( 😉)

Night clubs

So called activity hols - the outdoors is about nature not zip wires and rafting

Does this prohibition apply to all activities outside? Am I allowed to go for a trail run? Ride my bike? Where do you stand on boats? Is it just rafts that the outdoors is not about or is it also not about yachts or kayaks?

Totally agree.

yes agree ive only every been to nandos once and I also found the chicken to be extremely dry. not bothered going in since dont know why its so popular.
