You know the feeling when you anticipate something so much that you tend to idolize the picture and when it actually happens, it turns that your expectations surpassed the real thing by miles? Yes, it's called a disappointment, and it happens way more often than it should when traveling to the most famous vacation destinations and places to visit. These days most people don't wear rose-colored glasses, they opt for an Instagram filter instead. Which is why traveling has become so disheartening—where are those idyllic beaches that you saw online? It was better when we could only read about those exotic places to travel and imagine them; now, ruined by Instagram, your travel ideas will never match up to reality.

So come, join us—pull back the veil and see the Truth of travel impressions for yourself. Bored Panda has collected this list of travel expectation VS reality. Which false advertising photo has the best let-down photo? You can also check out these famous places to go zoomed out to show their surroundings.

I don't think this photo has the real truth in it. As you can see there are 99.9% Chinese shown in this photo. So it must have been when there may be some festival held there. There are totally no foreign tourist in this photo..how come? When I was there last year there were many international tourists all over the world but not as crowded as shown in this photo. So I will say this photo is very misleading.

    It depends on the date and time you visit Paris. If you get there as soon as the nmuseum opens, you will be swarmed by gawkers. If you wait till off season and go near the end of the day, things wind down quite a bit, but don't count on getting that close to the artwork!

    There is an app available which removes all moing things like people. Mount your camera on a stand and click multile picture. The rogram deletes all moving people and presto! you get a clean picture

    This is the place where "The Beach" was filmed close to Koh Phi Phi. Why people want to touch the dirt that Leo touched 15 year ago is beyond me. There are beaches across the bay from this one totally empty. If you end up going to Phi Phi... just skip this tour and do some scuba diving or snorkeling instead ;)

    Absolutely true. I lived in Rome for 10 years and had to pass this area daily by bike for a while. I would leave myself an extra 10 minutes just to get through that one block. It didn't matter what season it was or time of day. It was always this crowded. I suppose it wold be empty when people usually sleep, but it's still packed even up to midnight or so, and as early as 8am. You can still squeeze through to the front to get a decent pic, though.

    Best to arrive either very, very early n the day, or later in the afternoon or evening. And bring a lot of bottled water, it's hot as blazes and waiting in one can be very overwhelming. Plus I wouldn't advise going up in the pyramid if you have any claustrophbia. It's hot, dark, and has no air flow.

    Well actually the postcards are made so you can't see how very close Cairo is to the pyramids and the Sphinx. And don't get close to camelguys they will charge you for anything possible. Even pictures taken with your own camera and they will yell and make a scene if you do not pay. Might even try to force you up on the camel.Wasnt a fun experience.

    How many people can conquer the summit in a day? Do you think its always like this? Had it been like shown in the picture then hundreds of people would be reaching the summit which is not reality. It might have happened at some point of time but that is not the justified reason to generalize.

    While they are usually crowded, you'll find it less so, in the evening or early morning. There are higher priorities in Rome, so it's usually crowded only when the shops are open. Go before or after closing times and you'll find lots of space. Don't go alone when it's too late or you'll find it's quite desolate, which can be dangerous.

    The second photo is not Parthenon,so misleading photo.The weather in Athens is almost always shiny,all the beautiful area around Parthenon is only permitted to walk by feet so no fuels.The feeling of having this incredibly beautiful monument in front of you just can not be described,pictures really can't show this because the monument does not just stand on the ground,but its like if its lifting to the sky.And where it looks ruined is because Turkish put bombs to destroy it and an English man called Lord Elgin stole pieces of the monument and transfered them to England where they still are despite of so many calls to return them to Parthenon.

    This is exactly what it was like when I was there. I really think they need to limit the number of people who come at a time. There were so many people, it was hard to breathe in the heat with people squashing you every which way. The palace was beautiful and I would probably go again, given the chance. But really, you should have to buy tickets for a particular time like you do for the movies, theatre or football game. It would be a far more pleasant experience for everyone. Maybe not as much income, but better for all.

    I've always wanted to do this, but only in the wild and if they choose to come to me. I'm happy just watching them free and jumping in a ships wake or basically anywhere that's free. Such beautiful, intelligent creatures. They should never be kept in cages and/or tanks. It is very possible that they are smarter than humans.

    It's because of the manipulative gimmicks of advertisement (first pic) animals have to suffer the "encounters" on the second pic.

    Not the same angle. And youve included crowds of people at bars / restaurants between Circular Quay and the Opera House. Which is probably from a Friday or Saturday evening. The front, as in the first picture, is not always crowded.

    The best food comes from places like the after pic. The before pic is from a tourist trap thats a HUGE ripoff. After living here for 5years now I can tell you that if you see many thai people at a street food place... thats the food you want. If you see many white people... stay away.

    Oh, it does. Whenever you try to admire the blooming trees there's always a horde of tourists with soap cameras, iPads and phones trying to take the perfect shot. Or actually, just any shot, from 10 angles, with zoom and so on. Just not admiring the blooming.

    So...a mountaineous island with a pop density of around 350/sq.km. - kinda impossible not to have crowds somewhere sometimes. That being said, you can definately find quiet and uncrowded places in Japan. Just not in the middle of Kyoto or Tokyo in the hanami season.

    The first photo is one of the bridges over the Meguro river in Tokyo, just next to the Naka-Meguro subway station, very close to where I work. The second photo seems to be either Ueno or Yoyogi Park. Not to say these places don't get crowded, but it's not as bad.

    I think what they're doing here is some sort of... Ohh I expect to take all this awesome pictures, and then the outcome is you take s****y photos or your expectations about your trip being legendary turn out to be just pretty regular places. I don't think they're trying to say it's bs don't go there, they're just poking fun at tourists and photoshopped awesome photos travel agencies show you.

    Sad that it is closed because of tourist damage. Most people who go to these places have no idea what they are looking at or the history behind them. They just go to say they've been there and think they impress their friends. There are enough pictures and videos without people destroying magnificent sites.

    When i went there, i got the feeling that all that people wanted to do was take a selfie. It was really crowded (and i got there very early, earley enough to go on the first climb to Huayna Picchu) and because of the terrible need that people has of taking a 1000 selfies everywhere, everytime you can't really capture the magic. I love this place, but i wasn't the magical place i thought it would be. One picture is great, even five.... but why twenty on every damn spot you could find?

    The premise of most of these is some variation of "oh no, there's OTHER PEOPLE here, vacation ruined." You're not the only person in the whole wide world, you know. There's a lot out there, difference being most of them don't consider each other's presence to be a scenery-spoiling, expectation-destroying hindrance. If anything, it shows just how awesome these places are that folks from around the whole world come to enjoy them together. Grow, and lighten, up.

    Not 101% correct, but I really enjoyed this article. It is a very good example of what to expect and not only count on research info before the trip. As a photographer this is a situations of frustration, but as a professional being able to take the max out of every situation I could tell you it is quite easy - go there early in the morning or late in the evening. Everything shall be better and the overall feeling is completely different. Thanks for putting the article together.

    Having spent considerable time at Yosemite I can say the second photo is of a very touristy 'scenic view', but there are plenty of places to be all alone, if you are willing to get out into the woods.

    Exactly, this isn't a "hike" this is just standing at the viewing platform. You can go deep into the park and be away from people. However if one plans to do this then they should also prepare as there are things to be weary of and going deeper into parks without enough water and supplies, even for a day trip can be hazardous.
