@thatjillgirl 11 дней назад

The Colosseum is amazing. Sometimes when you go to a famous place that you've seen in textbooks, you get that sense of "Holy cow, it's the REAL THING and I'm REALLY HERE!" The Colosseum did that for me. It's an incredible feeling to see history alive in front of you.

I'm not sure if others would consider this a tourist trap but Sagrada Familia is definitely worth seeing. After seeing a bunch of different cathedrals around Europe I was skeptical about seeing another one, but Sagrada Familia is so unique.

The Alhambra. One of the best tourist sights in Spain. What's good is how well executed the Nasrid Palace tour times are. By forcing everyone to book early limited time tickets, you actually don't feel overwhelmed by crowds. Also, Granada is way more than just the Alhambra. Spend at least 4 days there to see everything else the city has to offer.

The royal mile in Edinburgh up to the castle. It is very much a tourist trap. But there is good food and fun shops and bagpipes and haggis neeps and taters and well to me it’s worth it.

There is a reason they are tourist traps - they are worth it! As you said - at least once! Love all of those places you mentioned. I would add Manneken Pis as well - yes, you only need to see it once, but it is worth it. Central Park or Times Square as well - it is electric. Central Park is an oasis of calm in a hectic city and worth a walk around to get some zen :)

In Rome, having a drink or even food while sitting across from the Pantheon, and, taking in the historical ambiance of Caffe Antica Greco with a 9 Euro coffee drink- both worth every penny.

@ritaelinfjeldbo2999 21 день назад

I don't know whether it's considered a tourist trap, but since you are mentioning the view and surroundings; one of my most memorable experiences I had when I was in Vienna, was having a piece of Sachertorte and a cup of tea at the terrace of legendary Hotel Sacher. An old dream came true! 🙂

@AbudMunichen78 21 день назад

The Hofbräuhaus definitely attracts many tourists. But I must say, the prices in the Hofbräuhaus are within the normal price range in Munich and the food is good quality. So I'm not sure, if it's really a “tourist trap”. Even I - born and raised in Munich - go there from time to time.

I definitely enjoyed visiting Stonehenge. I recommend a tour that includes visiting the inner circle if you can. You have to plan way ahead as they are very limited and only available before opening or after closing. The tour I was on was an all-day thing, but only the first part was Stonehenge, then we drove on to our next stop.

Don't know if it qualifies as a tourist trap, but the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. You only need to go once, but it's well worth it. Afternoon Tea in London, boat ride on the Thames. I agree with what you included as well. Santorini is on my list.

It's amazing how fast they sell out. I missed the Van Gogh museum for the same reason. Didn't book ahead. :( I hope you get to go back to see it. It's heart wrenching but well worth seeing.

My sister in law and I had a saying regarding overpriced food in touristy areas. (Allowing for inflation because it was $4 when we started) "Shut up and eat your $15 hot dog." even if they don't sell hot dogs, that's just our saying. When you're in Piazza San Marco and a coffee and tiramisu is $30 ... you're in Piazza San Marco! "Shut up and eat your $4 hot dog." When you're in Sky Garden or Galata Tower and your Coke costs you $20 "shut up and eat your $4 hot dog" - you're there for the view!

My wife and I have done the Hofbrauhaus and Temple Bar and some other tourist traps when we've traveled but we mixed in some off the beaten path stuff too. The point of travel is to see what others have seen and experience them in your own way. Would we do Temple Bar if we want back to Dublin again? Nope, but we can say we did and at least know that it wasn't something we wanted to to do again. If someone does those tourist trap-ish places and loves them, then good for them. Travel should make you happy, and not be used as some form of world traveler street cred to display on IG.

Wollers World: Can you recommend a Santorini or Mykonos alternative? I would say the Roman Forum (several times) and the Colosseum tour at least once. When you are IN there, you get a scope of how big it really is! The tower of London tour is worth EVERY penny!!! Your guides (the Beefeaters) are retired soldiers and they are excellent! Next time I'm there I'm going again. The Changing Of The Guard at Buckingham Palace BUT go to Whitehall where they are lined up, being inspected, the band forming up and then marching out. THAT is truly cool but a lot of people don't know about that part. The Mona Lisa for me was disappointing BUT the Louvre has so much more to offer, even in that gallery. If I were planning a trip to Paris though I would go off season. The Eiffel Tower is very cool!

Been to most of these & agree that they are worth visiting at least once. Santorini is gorgeous (spent a day). Stonehenge was a few hours, then we went on to Salisbury & Bath. Louvre has so many wonderful works besides Mona Lisa & Musee d'Orsay is fantastic, especially if you like Impressionists & Post Impressionists. Some other European tourist traps - Leaning of Tower of Pisa (great for a photo, visit cathedral next door), Trevi Fountain in Rome, Las Ramblas in Barcelona - all incredibly crowded.

Two in Rome that are definitely worth it: 1. Apertivi in the evening in front of the Pantheon. It's expensive (something like $50 or $60 for two in winter--a meal of appetizers and drinks) but worth it to watch life go by on that piazza. 2. The Sistine Chapel. I've been several times and it just amazes me every time. The Pieta in St. Peter's is also heartbreakingly beautiful even if the rest of St. Peter's leaves me a bit flat.

GREAT video with lots of great information. I totally agree with you on ALL of these. If I were to add one to this list, I'd add the Sistine Chapel. I mean, yes, it's a masterpiece and yes, it's beautiful but is it worth the hours and hours of touring the Vatican museum and then the packed crowd in the chapel and they, how much of it do you really see when you're staring up at the ceiling and the guards are constantly shushing you.

@b.w.9244 21 день назад

Yes. The Sistine Chapel and Vatican museum were definitely a suboptimal experience. Guide cracking the whip the entire time. No stopping at anything. Hall of Maps? More like Hall of Covid! What a sea of people. Next time, will go on our own with an audioguide, and plan on spending most of the day.

Just a heads up for everyone else, Mark mentions the Pergamonmuseum and it was most likely opened at the time of him filming it, but it's currently closed for 2-3 years for restoration...that and the Deutsche Museum which had all the historical artifacts of German history were closed for the same reason when I was there which was disappointing, but a good excuse for me to go back to Berlin some day.

Ill never forget the smell of fresh baked pastries, sewage and mildew. As for other Tourist traps I loved the Castles.

Due to religious rights they allow the local pagans to do their rituals inside the Stones at sunrise for an hour or 2. It was an incredible experience that I would do again. You don’t have to partake in the ritual you can frolick freely in and around the stones. It’s Incredible to see the sheer size of them

@johnshort5830 15 дней назад

A tourist trap that is worth it is Park Guell in Barcelona. It is a whole park with Gaudi (architect of the Sagrada Familia) design and the best part is you can snake around up to the top of the mountain it's on and see the whole city laid before you. Best views ive ever had in a city. But definitely plan getting your tickets, they only let so many in at a time.

@LtNduati 20 дней назад

Couldn't agree more with this list - th only note I have is the Louvre, if you go pretty much as soon as it opens and you go directly to the Mona Lisa there are no lines, you can get an unobstructed view a could feet away from it and explore the other magnificent works in that room, then the rest of the Louvre is yours to explore while everyone else is trying to get to the Mona Lisa.

Tip for the gondola drive: share with it someone. At least when we were there on our honeymoon (2018) they wouldnt let you share it with other people outside of your circle. So before booking a ride we found another family and asked them if they want to go together as if we were together. It was much cheaper and we also got couple of photos and had a lovely time.

Definitely Stonehenge. I would also recommend 221 B Baker Street. Going there was one of the best decisions I made when I visited England. I’ve never been fond of tourist traps, but going to 221 B Baker Street was an unforgettable experience. I can’t wait to return and take my sister.

Hey Wolters - you have the Pisa Tower on the picture, but didn't talk about it - we saw it with my wife and like it - definitely I will never visit the Stonehedge - doesn't look like a place I will want to visit - another thing is that not everyone have the chance to go more than once in their lives to the same place - specially if we livecin another continent - I consider that my wife and I had been very lucky to visit Spain - France 23 years ago - last year we got the chance to come back to Europe and visited Italy - we loved it - and yes if any one goes to París definitely needs to see the Ifel Tower and not only be there go all the way up - highly recommended, also see the Monalisa - its really small and little disapointed, but is worth it, but enjoy as much as you can the museum, and enjoy everything you can when you are there - there I mean anywhere you go - you know why? You never know if you will ever going to come back to that place

Hofbrauhaus was fun, but definitely didn't think the beer was great. Then went to Augustiner am Dom for dinner and was soooo much better.

Many people think that the Heathrow Express is a waste of money. My ticket for the HX only cost me £9.90 but the suburban service to get back cost me around £13 !
