Places That Some People Believe Are Just Too Overrated To Even Visit
There are certain places that society has just hyped up way too much for some people to consider visiting. What comes to mind first, when you consider a vacation? Were some of your first thoughts something semi-overrated, like Disneyland/Disney-World, Vegas, New York City?
Definitely to each their own, as long as your making life experiences you're going to get a solid round of applause. None the less, there are some places people won't even consider checking out due to the hype built around them.
For the simple fact that everyone and their dog (literally) has been to. Check out the responses from AskReddit!
1. I've heard this from so many people.
“Hollywood walk of fame. Haven’t seen a dirtier road.”

2. Hey, I gotta disagree. I want to see Nashville from top to bottom. That's on my bucketlist too.
“That wing mural in Nashville.. There is literally a line that takes an hour to go take a picture with a pair of wings on a wall.”

3. Lol, you had me at pizza.
“Plymouth Rock.
It’s just a rock. It’s not even a big rock, or a weird-looking rock; it’s just a grayish lump the size of a beanbag chair with “1620” carved on it. I didn’t pay anything to look at it and it still was a ripoff.
There’s a nice pizza place nearby though.”

4. I've heard this before too!
“Kind of specific, but I visited the Gold and Silver pawn shop from the show “Pawn Stars” when I was in Las Vegas a couple weeks ago.
Holy shit that place is tiny. Mad props to the production crew that films inside there, because I always imagined it was big and open. It’s basically a single isle from the door to the back of the store with a little side area where the registers and offices are.
I went out of my way to see it, expecting to spend at least an hour looking around. After being inside for 5 minutes I saw pretty much everything and left quite disappointed.”

5. Also not the first time I've heard this. Probably just avoid Hollywood all together.
“Hollywood! I feel so bad for tourists in LA that waste their vacation time in that dirty hellhole.”

6. I have many friends that adore France, and I have been told to avoid it during those months before!
“As a tour guide in Paris, here’s my time to shine and help you save time and money:
Avoid Paris In June and July, August. September is best, May comes in second.
ALWAYS, always book your skip-the-line tickets online before going to a landmark. Nothing in Paris is worth waiting 3 hours in line. Instead, go drink some wine and eat some cheese + baguette in a nice park or by the river.”

7. What's up with that anyways? Talk about a bummer.
“Whatever expectation you have of Roswell, New Mexico- it’s worse.”

8. Norway is on my list too! Good to know.
“Oslofjorden. Please go anywhere else In Norway when you visit.”

9. I don't wanna know. That makes me all cringey inside.
“Times square on New Years. If you know, you know.”

10. Interesting. I've definitely taken note!
“If you’re in Dublin, stay away from the Temple Bar area, it’s ridiculously overpriced and is not at all what a real Irish bar is like at all.”

11. Wow, I wouldn't of guessed.
“UAE, it’s the most culturally deficient place you will ever see in your life!!”

12. Sad day! I hope I get the chance to visit Australia someday too!
“Bondi Beach in Sydney. Overcrowded, everything there is way overpriced.”

13. Don't people typically go for the ocean anyway?
“I was dragged to Dubai to visit relatives a couple of years ago and I could not find the words to describe how soulless and uninteresting the place is. Then there is the unrelenting, searing heat. I couldn’t wait to leave after around 3 days.”

14. I'll never forget this, lol.
“Pisa.
Besides the small square with the tower where everyone is taking the same shitty joke pic. And guys tryna sell you toys.
The rest of the town is pretty shit. Youre in Tuscany, go to ANY small town and you’ll enjoy it far more.”

15. I was wondering if anyone was going to mention Miami! My husband is a Hurricane's fan... I'm destined to end up there at some point in my life.
“South Beach/Miami
Over priced bars and clubs, if youre a dude and you dont have a fine group of women with you, be ready to drop serious cash for a night out if youre there. There are better beaches up and down the coast, that wont force you into the terrible traffic and parking SB has.”
