Most disappointing destination/holiday

[Forgottenmyphone]

For me, it was the Norwegian fjords. Not because they weren’t beautiful (what we saw of them, they were!) but because it was cold, rainy and foggy when we went. One town known for being very pretty was ridiculously busy and there was a cruise ship blocking the view from the restaurant we booked. We knew the prices were going to be high, but expected good quality… when you pay over £100 for a train ticket, you expect there to be toilet roll and soap in the toilets!

where have you been that was disappointing?

Bali. It is a cheap place for the Aussies to go like Spain was for the UK 15 plus years ago. I found it very overrated.

Everyone was super friendly to me in Krakow too. I am also an old lady…

We loved Barcelona, I could happily live there

@hyggetyggedotorg ditto, couldn’t wait to leave Tangier and hope I never have to go back.

Barcelona, however… currently sat here really looking forward to the next three weeks I will spend here. Have always loved it, it brings back memories from certain seasons of my life. Also, Paris. I’d say that’s my happy place, love south Florida…

overall, I think the only place I’ve ever been that I wouldn’t want to revisit is Morocco

Barbados - overcast but still unbearably hot, seaweed so thick you couldn’t make it to the shore and the towns had nothing going for them. Couldn’t wait to get home.

Florence - I thought the whole place would be white with red rooftops and generally found it underwhelming, too busy and too hot (and we were only there half a day)

I can see why Vegas isn't to everyone's taste but I just loved how absolutely bonkers and joyfully tacky it was. Loved the theatre too.

So much of this in all but the obvious usual suspects can be down to so many things too, who you were with, money, weather, hotel etc !!

Turin. We stayed in a beautiful hotel and it was luxury all the way, but it just left me completely cold. I’d always wanted to go there, but I was so disappointed.

St Ives

Hated Vienna too. It reminded me of bad times in that part of Europe. Do you know that Austria and Germany are banned from ever uniting? The people were rude too.

Jaywick, I kid you not. The worst accidental holiday destination anyone could ever have

We do get some advantages. I find young men on trains incredibly helpful and friendly. I always think I must remind them of their granny.

Which ones would you recommend as I'm always open to ideas? I went to Corfu many years ago - underwhelmed.

There was a very interesting TV programme about its origins and its present.

Anyone finding the Maldives on the dull side need to go to the Seychelles instead. Cool as fuck place. We hired a car and spent a week listening to reggae and swimming in random picture postcard beaches. Loved it.

I'm from the states and I think CA Disney is much nicer (albeit smaller) than Florida Disney. In that area, you can visit local beaches, hike in parks, and visit Carlsbad too.

Karpathos, Naxos, Paros to name a few.

Amsterdam. Just meh.

Levi is lovely

I've enjoyed lots of the places mentioned and am a bit puzzled at some comments. Reminds me of a review of India saying "Food is too spicy."

My biggest disappointment was, as per a PP, Niagara Falls (Canadian side, didn't get to the US side.) So seedy, very reminiscent of Blackpool. Once you've seen the falls from the viewpoint, which doesn't take long, the rest of the day felt like wasted time. The boat tours had just stopped for the season (October) and I couldn't afford the helicopter ride.

Just reminds me of the iltalian job. Ours was Genoa and the Italian riveria it was dirty and industrial and the food was not great. Very disappointing.

Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Santa Cruz. I've travelled solo around Asia and never felt as unsafe as I did on the California coast.

Shitzerland. Yes, beautiful. But incredibly boring. People unfriendly. Food very very meh.

York, interesting enough but a horrible and unfriendly place and I won’t be going back.

Oh I love Stockholm!! I love visiting all the little islets in the archipelago.
