Dirt cheap too. Edited October 2, 2021 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely staggering that noone has mentioned the Astronomic Clock in Prague yet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eez-eh Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 The Gallery of Modern Art was pish as well, probably because it’s full of modern art. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorongil Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 The Amalfi Coast. What an absolute shitehole. There is nothing to do there, the hotels and restaurants are tired and dated beyond belief and there’s an arrogance there that the hovel like state of the place is “part of the charm”. They have shops everywhere selling ceramic tiles and limoncello. Congratulations, you have ceramic tiles and limoncello. I will never go back. Capri was ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Guggenheim is ok for about half an hour because at least it is an interesting building. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were in the wrong places clearly. Some of the best restaurants in Europe too. Capri imo is the worst of it too. Even Naples itself is total class.Sent from my SM-A750FN using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I actually like the idea of a Christmas market but the reality, in Edinburgh at least, is tacky as f***. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Blackpool in it's entirely. Venice until you get out the main tourist areas, Pisa a total gauntlet to run to see a bog standard town with a tower. An honourable mention for every city in Switzerland. Lovely in the mountains and countryside but pretty boring elsewhere. Also found Prague pretty seedy.

Naples was borderline ok and on the verge of being in the modern world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Another vote for Checkpoint Charlie. Most of Berlin is great, that was a complete waste of time. And they were wanting paid a fiver to get a photo with 2 guys dressed up as Soviet guards. Shite. Blarney Castle was also pish. While I’m at it, throw the entirety of Dublin in there, with the exception of the old prison tour you can do, which was relatively decent. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those markets are just criminal enterprises with poor souls selling absolute tat. How many people really need Native American wood carvings? I have never seen anyone buy that stuff, not even once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Checkpoint Charlie (from a distance) when it was a functioning check point, and I've seen it in its current role. It's a shite experience but it's all the people who make it shite. They could just knock it down, or fence it off and charge money for an 'interpreted experience,' but that would also be shite. To me the worst attractions are the shite ones specifically created as attractions, or the dull historical remnants to which a huge entry fee is now charged. Mannekin Pis and The Little Mermaid aren't really claiming to be what tourists expect them to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
