@thatjillgirl 6 днів тому
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.

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 :)

I've done many of these "tourist traps" and most all are worth it one time during a trip. Eiffel Tower, Stonehenge, Hofbräuhaus, Tower of London, Marienplatz etc. Some though, like Collosseum and Pantheon in Rome, I could happily see over and over. Never tire of anything in Rome.

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! 🙂

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 16 днів тому
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.

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.

I'm not sure I agree about the Mona Lisa or the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but I also say that from the perspective of someone who has seen them and doesn't need to see them again. Maybe I would feel differently if I'd never seen them.

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.

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."

I’ve been to most of these places on this list that are outside of the Uk and would recommend all of them with the exception of Santorini. It still looks beautiful but it’s just a nice facade, Whatever charm Thira used to have is gone and everything has been replaced with souvenirs stands and ATV rentals. Oia was nicer but as packed as the nyc subway at rush hour. Maybe i would have liked it better if I stayed outside of Thira. Also sometimes it’s worth spending the 20 bucks and taking the tour. We did that for the Norman palace in Sicily and ended up getting a breakdown of every mosaics and it was super interesting. You might get to cut the line too.

I was like yep thats a big nope for me. If I get tipped into that water our poor boat captain will never be seen again. Venice was so wild. Ill never forget the smell of fresh baked pastries, sewage and mildew. As for other Tourist traps I loved the Castles. I went to the Neuschwanstein Castle and Linderhof Castle in Austria and they were amazing. The Eagles Nest was a wild place too. You can see multiple countries from its viewpoint. Its breathtaking and sinister all at the same time.

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.

The Colleseum. It's packed, hard to get a ticket and crumbling on the inside. But it's worth seeing once

The Colosseum in Rome was incredible....for the first hour or so. I would've much preferred spending way more time at the Roman Forum just down the way.

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.

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.

I have to agree. Most of the tourist traps are ok to visit a least one time. What I never do is go to "Madame Tussaud" and eat near tourist trap.
