And can be appreciated at leisure, closer to the works and without the sea of phones in your face

Yes! From a business travel point of view, it was great as everything was easy and you can get anything you might be missing from home, but anything to do for leisure or tourism just feels completely synthetic.

However, I would like to see it

Plus, they leave tons and tons of waste, plastic bags and garbage everywhere, it's awful and sad.

This is true. Pisa is wierd and kinda cool but very much a tourist trap. That said, I had one of my best Italian meals in a tiny restaurant in Pisa. I asked my taxi driver where he takes his wife for thier anniversary. It was reasonably priced, really nice atmosphere and amazingly good food.

And... you are going there to see a walkway with people's names on it

not to mention the rubbish and dog s**t in the streets.

I have been there 23 years ago, and than you had at least HUGE pools in the morning for you all alone and delicious food for little money. Didn’t spend a single dollar at gambling.

So true! Cairo is horrifying. All the pics you see of the pyramids are taken from this side, if you’re standing on the other side, shithole Cairo is right there in all it’s dirty glory. Whatever you do don’t drink the water!! I forgot on my last day and rinsed my toothbrush under the tap. Never been so ill in my life. The museum is incredible, but full of people trying to scam you.

Most new year parties are awful all over the world... the best I have had in the past few years is a bit of alcohol, a fire outside, music and friends. (December is full on summer here)

Same with most famous nature spots on earth. I recently saw a picture of a mountaintop where people stand in a line to get THAT one picture. It’s a pity.

I went there in the mid-90s and I was very disappointed (probably served me right as I should've known). It's a bunch of standing stones in a field. Don't get me wrong, it is incredibly important historically, but ... stones in a field. Plus, Britain is littered with stone circles. This one just happens to be more famous.

I lived in Munich for a decade and haven’t ever been there. For a reason.

I have been there, and I like it. As I like beers, Dublin, and Ireland, in general. Btw, I'm from Balkans

I agree completely. It was like they went out of their way to make everything as generic as possible.

photoshop is quicker and easier. One I've put together in just 2 minutes- bean-60813...33d598.jpg

The history of Taj Mahal is also dark.

Brussels is actually really nice, especially in the spring. But Bruges is simply magical.

This one has always baffled me as surely it's just a random balcony that just happens to be in the town where someone in England wrote a fictitious story that also had a balcony in it.

German here. The island itself is gorgeous and should not be confused with that one place on Mallorca called "Ballermann".

I dunno if it's true or not but my mum says Six flags is heaps better than Disneyland.

So “Paul” lied to us? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1092026/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_53

and in all the pics, they show just what we see above and fail to show that the hill is about 3 times what you see here and when you're on the observation deck, you're far. (I spend way too much on google earth finding places I see on TV)

To me the purpose of Bourbon Street, just like the Red Lights District in Amsterdam, is to host all the loud bachelor/birthday destination parties, letting the others chill in any other bar in the city.

Malls are a temple to capitalism.

Why would I want to visit a fckn mall??

I live in Edmonton, home of West Edmonton Mall - largest mall in N America. I LOATHE it, but tourists flock here each and every year. WHY?! You must have shopping centers, waterparks, amusement parks, theatres & restaurants where you're from! Just because they're under one roof doesn't make it a bucket list destination.

WHAT??? The Mall is a Mall???? You don't say!

I don't get what's meant to be special about it. Is there something unique or exciting about the stores it has?

“Just a mall with a lot of stuff in it” is the literal definition of a mall. Lots of stuff 😂

Sounds like one could just as well visit Mall of Scandinavia in Stockholm, Sweden...

I live about two hours away from the MoA...never been...no desire to go.

I enjoyed it, but I came with an 8 y.o. the first time and 2-10 y.o. the second time and they had a blast, if course. I love to shop so, except for the long walks, I was in hog heaven.

Malls have never really appealed to me. Walk from one end to the other to get to that ONE store you want to go to, then realize there's another place you wanted to stop, and it's at the other end. Then you have to hit the restroom and where the heck is that? 1/2-way down to the other end again. And the stores you want to shop at rarely have their own entrance from the outside, so you're trapped into traipsing through the building to reach them. The bigger the mall, the more annoying that gets. Haven't set foot in a mall in ages - and the business model as a whole seems to be dying.

No revelation here. Who would think that a huge mall with 900 retail stores would be a wonderful inspiring place to visit??

Ah yes, our beloved Maul of America. Props to the aquarium tho, very, very cool. There's a petting pool. A PETTING POOL. They have a "backstage" tour and you can see how they run the aquarium, prepare food and care for the animals. (also, the huge LEGO are neat)

Underwater world is cool af though.

I went there when I was passing through MN last year and it was pretty cool but it was very overwhelming cause it's so large haha

No, that's pretty much the gist of it. I don't live in Minnesota and I was underwhelmed by the MOA. I suppose if you really like malls it's cool.

And there are multiple of the same store throughout. It's like they just combined a few malls together.

Been there, done that; tourist trap indeed...

Seeing as Bondi Beach is the most famous beach in Australia, what do you expect. I wouldn't even bother to go there, especially when we have sooooo many amazing beaches that don't get anywhere as busy.

I disagree, I climbed Fuji-san (in September) on a longer but less crowded track. We started at 20:00 to catch the sunrise at 05:30. The view was breathtaking and only the last part on top got crowded. I wouldn't do it twice, but wouldn't have missed out on the experience either. IMG_201909...f3697d.jpg
