What with most of us having limited spare time and money to spend gallivanting around the world, where we choose to take our vacations is a more important choice than first meets the eye. Whether you’re just going on a simple day trip or you’re splashing thousands of dollars on the break of a lifetime, you want to make sure that the visit is worth your while. Facing the let down of an overly-hyped attraction or a dream destination that turns out to be anything but is a real mood-dampener, and most of us would rather avoid it by any means possible.

This is why a helpful and amusing AskReddit has compiled a list that gives a whistle stop tour of all the areas that people shouldn’t be touring if they can help it. While what makes somewhere a good place to visit might be subjective, there are definitely a fair few overrated spots out there. Sometimes, a staycation is preferable to the ‘unique’ experience of anything in this thread.
