DiegoDiego Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 I don't understand how a city with such an incredibly dull layout is so highly rated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I think the Sagrada familia itself is over rated but the city of Barcelona is incredible, have seen a few people on here saying it’s a shit hole which I just don’t get. I think Skye is over rated, awful weather and a lot of barren wasteland. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was clean and civilised but expensive as f**k and a tad boring. Up there with Zurich as the most expensive and boring city in the universe. Nice situation though ! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copenhagen is fine, but the Little Mermaid is very over-rated. Sorry , it is the most overrated visitor attraction in the cosmos -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attractions are reasonably priced with no masses of tourists you get in Tier 1 cities. Wonderful city centre 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too sprawling for me, with miles and miles of nearly identical streets, I prefer the centre of Madrid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet at night, few bars or restos. Typically French I suppose. Maybe I went to the wrong area. (the centre) The old city is just a big museum/tourist trap but good if you like that sort of thing. I liked Vitoria in northern Spain. Small streets, lots of bars, friendly locals. Here, maybe I'm living in the wrong country... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
