With the pandemic having put our lives on unprecedented hold, many are dreaming of returning to norm… Who are we lying to? The sole, okay, one of the little things, we truly miss badly is traveling. And I can bet that at any given opportunity, you’d be up and rolling with a fedora to any place in the world just to sip on a pina colada and forget the comfort-turned-hell of your four home walls.

And it’s no secret that many thirsty travelers have must-see travel bucket lists somewhere in the drawer waiting for the borders to open up. For some, it’s Times Square and Hollywood, for others, it’s all about dinner with a view at the Eiffel Tower, but as you’re about to plan your next big post-pandemic trip, you may as well take some good advice from people who have been to those places, but would likely travel back in time to not go there.

So below, ladies and gents, are the most overrated travel destinations shared in one r/AskReddit thread to help us reflect on our sightseeing must-dos before its too late.

#1

People Share What Travel Destinations Are Absolutely Overrated (30 Pics) The Mona Lisa in Louvre in Paris. It's just a small painting hanging quite far away in a really crowded room full of tourists. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful, iconic painting, but it's not worth visiting the Louvre only for the Mona Lisa. The majority of the other artworks in that museum are more impressive than the Mona Lisa.

Yes! From a business travel point of view, it was great as everything was easy and you can get anything you might be missing from home, but anything to do for leisure or tourism just feels completely synthetic.

Many have heated tents. The line to wait to get a picture at the top can be extremely long, and dangerous because people aren’t used to the altitude.

This is true. Pisa is wierd and kinda cool but very much a tourist trap. That said, I had one of my best Italian meals in a tiny restaurant in Pisa. I asked my taxi driver where he takes his wife for thier anniversary. It was reasonably priced, really nice atmosphere and amazingly good food.

Whatever you do don’t drink the water!! I forgot on my last day and rinsed my toothbrush under the tap. Never been so ill in my life. The museum is incredible, but full of people trying to scam you.

Either way you get just about as good a view of it from the Highway going by it as you do by waiting in line and paying to go see it. I appreciate what it represents, but if you put on a youtube video of it you will get a more personal and close experience of it then if you actually go there.

I went there in the mid-90s and I was very disappointed (probably served me right as I should've known). It's a bunch of standing stones in a field. Don't get me wrong, it is incredibly important historically, but ... stones in a field. Plus, Britain is littered with stone circles. This one just happens to be more famous.

People Share What Travel Destinations Are Absolutely Overrated (30 Pics) Oktoberfest

You can get the same brand and amount of beer for a third of the price literally anywhere else in Munich. The carnival rides are also overcrowded and overpriced, the food is decent but also overpriced... I could go on. Oktoberfest is over-everything.

You could add that comment under every picture here. Also there are tons of other Beer and wine festivals in Germany that are much more relaxed and way less touristy/overcrowded and overpriced than the Oktoberfest. Cannstadter Wasn, Dürkheimer Wurstmarkt and a thousand local beer/wine fests in lots of villages all over Germany - Bavaria is only one small part of Germany and Oktoberfest is really not that amazing.

I love the Oktoberfest! (Though is has got worse over the last 20 years.) When criticizing the beer price, think about the context: The host will invest 3 months to set up a temporary building to sell you beer and food for 2 weeks. (After that time, they will have to deconstruct the tent and store it for a year.) They will give you 12 hours of live music every day and hire about 400 security people to keep you safe. Also the licence/rent for a tent at the Oktoberfest costs a fortune. A restaurant does not have investments like that.

I was born and raised in Munich. I love the Oktoberfest. Obviously not the rides but the Beertents are so much fun. We always book a few tables with a group of friends. Also most munich-based offices treat their employees to a day at the Oktoberfest. Also I love wearing my Dirndls. But we do that in bavaria on several occasions.

lived in Kaiserslautern, & traveled to Munich a couple of times for Oktoberfest. thoroughly enjoyed it. the food, OMG! Schweinshaxe (roasted ham hock), Brezen (pretzels), Käsespätzle (cheese noodles) something like spätzle, Würstl (sausages) sautee'd with apple sauerkraut & bacon, and these remarkable steak sandwiches (the steak, I think ribeye, sits whole on the most delicious bun) I'll take Munich anyday!

Living in Munich I can only partly agree. Yes everything is overpriced. Yes it is overcrowded and yes mostly everyone (especially tourists) is way too drunk. But they do brew a special Oktoberfest beer which is higher in alcohol and can only be bought either at the Oktoberfest itself or stores during that season (fall). But it is an experience on its own :)

The best thing about Oktoberfest is the parade on the first day which is in September, two weeks before the first weekend of October. The decorated beer wagons pulled by magnificent horses and the people dressed in the lederhosen and drindls of their own area are really beautiful. You can keep the drunken idiots and overpriced everything, and the ubiquitous pickpockets.

The view was breathtaking and only the last part on top got crowded. I wouldn't do it twice, but wouldn't have missed out on the experience either.
