6 US Tourist Attractions That Are Overrated and Should be Avoided at All Costs

There are many attractions that you must stop by when traveling. You can't visit Paris for the first time without sighting the Eiffel Tower, and few individuals want to come home from Yellowstone without pictures of the Old Faithful.

But for each tourist destination that's come by its historic recognition honestly, there's an awful tourist trap that is not worth your time or money.

Advice: With the money and time you reserve by giving these a miss, discover someplace more attractive, unique, and captivating to visit instead.

Plymouth Rock

Let's begin where America started, excluding that America didn't actually begin here, anyway. Honestly, this attraction is very unsatisfactory. It's an ordinary rock, in a nice looking canopy that's way more magnificent than the rock itself.

As the story goes, in 1620 the Pilgrims initially disembarked onto this rock when they came to what would become America. They immediately discovered Plymouth Colony, which is remade down the road in a tourist destination which is more valuable to our time.

Blarney Stone

Let's relocate across the ocean from Plymouth to another hug ol' dumb rock: the Blarney Stone close to Cork, Ireland. The agreement with this rock is that you ought to bend over backward to give it a kiss, and thus get the gift of "blarney" - basically eloquence.

Stonehenge

Concluding the tour of overestimated rocks, let's hurry over to Wiltshire, England, so as to warn you to keep away from Stonehenge.

It's not that this ancient monument is entirely a waste, but it's never quite as impressive as you were anticipating. The stones are not 50 feet high, and the crowds decrease the sense of strange wonder that must have entered those who bumped into the bizarre circle back in the day.

Niagara Falls

It's obviously false that the waterfalls themselves are overestimated. In fact, they're amazing, a majestic exhibition of the power of water. The issue with the falls is the whole mini-economy of tourist blather that's been constructed up beside (and beneath) them.

Times Square

The beating heart of New York City, Times Square, is noisy, tacky, overpopulated and not very much interesting. That won't prevent most tourists from proceeding into it anyway, only to become free, some minutes or hours later, panting at how terrible it is.

Four Corners

Lest you might think we have something against crowds, there's also an overestimated tourism tour that is isolated and hardly very crowded.

Four Corners is where New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah connect, creating, well...you get it. As you may know, states don't have true physical borders, so there is not much there but a plate in the ground and a bundle of state flags. Anyway, If you're driving by, sure, halt, but do not go out of your way, at all. it's free at least .
